================
If someone calls your name, you probably won't take it to heart.
Ten people call your name, and you may nod and smile.
A hundred people will call your name, and you may wave your hand.
But when tens of thousands of people stand up at the same time and shout your name in the sky, I'm afraid you can no longer maintain that detached mentality!
The Otmir people enjoyed this kind of high-profile treatment very much, he spread his arms as if to embrace the whole sky, his name was in his ears, and everyone was pouring for him, which made the Otmir people, who had been born in the snowy mountains since childhood, deeply intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves! He even picked up the long knife on the ground and cut a horizontal cut on his forehead, and the blood soaked his face, hideous and terrifying, except for the red, there were only two black and white eyes.
This is the noblest etiquette of the Otmir people, which can be interpreted as "what you see is true", which can also be translated as "this is the most real me", and he waved his fists and roared loudly, and his roar was heard through the crystal nodes throughout the stands. The audience became even more frenzied, and money bags, bracelets, necklaces, and women's underwear were thrown into the arena like a torrential rain.
The poisonous wolf's emotions were also ignited, and it was evident that he was very optimistic about the Otmir, and he took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket, about twenty or thirty, and threw them into the gladiatorial arena.
The celebration lasted about five minutes, and the Otmir reluctantly left the arena under the guidance of the officials. The staff cleaned the field quickly, and everything in the field was finally packed up and handed over to the Otmir people, which was the reward he deserved.
The frenzy subsided with the departure of the Otmir, and the poisonous wolf sat back on the steps, and after he calmed down, he turned his head to Rossi and said: "A wonderful first kill will arouse the emotions of the audience to the greatest extent, which has the advantage that he will receive more attention, but there is also a disadvantage. The poisonous wolf laughed a few times, "Once he is defeated, the audience who feels that he has been let down will not hesitate to ask for the execution of this guy who betrayed the trust of the audience." Try to be as calm as possible when you go on the court, don't pay too much attention to the audience, it's better to go back after the fight, so that the audience will feel that you don't give them face, and if you accidentally lose, the audience will not have a strong desire to watch you die. ”
The poisonous wolf said earnestly: "Gladiators are stars, but the will of the audience can control the lives of stars!"
"The tactics of the Otmirs were very clear, and apparently he had done his research and had a whole plan before the battle, completely restraining the tactics of the Gautbes. I'm not sure where he's going to go, but according to the schedule, you're probably going to run into him in the semi-finals and if you do, you have to be careful not to get into his rhythm. I'll keep an eye on his fight. ”
The second game is Scorpion vs. Gent. Sand Scorpions live in the desert, and the desert of this world is obviously more violent than the desert that Rossi knows, and every morning when they open their eyes, the surroundings are completely different. The desert seems to have a life of its own, constantly changing at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye, and the dunes are constantly moving in a fixed direction, which also causes the desert to be full of quicksand traps.
Once you fall into the quicksand, it becomes a luxury to want to save yourself. In this environment, the sand scorpion people, who have lived for tens of thousands of years, have evolved physical characteristics that are completely different from ordinary humans, the most notable being that they have six hands and extremely wide palms. This evolutionary choice will give the Sand Scorpions more chances to survive in the face of sandstorms and quicksands, even if they are buried deep in the dunes, they can quickly emerge from the dunes, and the six hands are the key to their survival.
In the face of an opponent like the Sand Scorpion, any race is very disadvantaged, two fists are hard to defeat four hands, let alone six hands? They can use six one-handed weapons, a very small number of powerful Sand Scorpion demigods or heroes, and even six kinds of heavy weapons, it is simply a meat grinder in the gladiatorial arena.
The odds of this sand scorpion man can be said to be the lowest group of all gladiators.
"You put another 1,000 gold coins on this sand scorpion man?", 1,000 gold coins to win the championship can only get 80,000 gold coins, such a low odds is already the lowest in history, but there are still many people who will bet their money on the sand scorpion man. The low odds mean that he has a better chance of winning the championship.
Poison Wolf shook his head, "Actually, the Quints in another arena, the Quintes are the most beloved race in gladiatorial tournaments, with strong physical fitness and tenacious physiques and rough nerves, Quints have always been frequent guests to gladiatorial tournament champions. Some people think they look stupid, that's just a prejudice, and with basically the same strength, a smart and experienced Quint can beat all races. ”
The Sand Scorpion appeared on the stage, and the audience once again erupted in enthusiastic shouts, for these audiences who had no position, Rosie didn't even have the desire to complain, he was already surprised when he was in the Sky Tower.
The sand scorpion man has six long knives in his hand, just looking at his appearance feels very scary, after all, as his opponent, no matter how he is equipped, he can only pick up two weapons in the end, and if he wants to compete with six weapons, he needs a certain amount of experience and ability.
The cheers were still the same when the Quints appeared, but surprisingly, the Quints only took a huge totem, much to Rossi's surprise. Totems are unique weapons to the orcs, and their worship of totems has given them some special talents, which can be used to increase their abilities, but it is rare for Quints to use totems.
The poisonous wolf had a different opinion, "This Quint is very smart, the totem itself is a heavy weapon, plus the generous specifications, it is enough to form a shield, which can withstand the attack of six weapons when needed. In terms of offense, the heavy totem combined with the strength of the Quint can completely neutralize the advantage brought by the six weapons of the Sand Scorpion. ”
"Who do you think will win?"
"Sand Scorpions!"
"Why?"
The poisonous wolf smiled and said, "Because this Quint is too young!"
With the fall of the spear, the battle began.
The totem in the hands of the Quint people was four meters long and more than thirty centimeters in diameter, as light as an ordinary stick in his hands, and the first time the two fought, the Quinteng people swung the totem and smashed it at the sand scorpion man. The blow was obviously going to miss, the huge totem pole fell to the ground, the ground of the gladiatorial arena shook slightly, and the dust rose in an instant. The Quint lifted one end of the totem pole under his armpit, bit his cheek and roared hard, and the totem pole weighing hundreds of pounds waved horizontally.
The scorpion man lowered his body and was about to dodge, when the totem pole was rigidly fixed above him and fell heavily. The scorpion man showed a little panic on his face, and rolled to the side, quite embarrassed.
The excellent start directly suppressed the scorpion man, which made many viewers excited, but the poisonous wolf kept shaking his head, this is the price of youth.
The Quantum swung the totem and smashed it several times, and the smashed sand scorpion man dodged back and forth in embarrassment, and finally once he couldn't keep up with the speed of the totem, and was directly weighted and flew out upside down.
The cheers of the crowd filled the stands again, and the Quint seemed to be a little proud, his dark face showing a white horizontal line, which was his teeth.
The sand scorpion man who had been knocked into the air got up again, threw away four weapons, and left four hands free, his face a little ugly.
The poisonous wolf elbowed Rossi, "Look, the Quints are going to lose." ”
The young Quint repeated his old tricks, this time the moment the totem fell, the sand scorpion man did not avoid it far away, but just moved his steps to the side slightly, narrowly avoiding the smash, he reached out and turned over and climbed onto the totem pole, the Quint man was stunned for a moment, shook twice, but did not shake the sand scorpion man down.
Scorpions are good at making holes in the dunes, and their four hands and two legs are enough to hold themselves firmly to the totem pole. The Quint lifted one side of the totem pole and rotated it one hundred and eighty degrees, trying to smash the sand scorpion headfirst into the ground, but the sand scorpion nimbly kept himself directly above the totem and moved towards the Quint with his hands and feet.
The reason why the Quints were able to suppress the sand scorpion people was that the totem pole was the key.
But at this moment, the sand scorpion man cracked the advantage brought by the totem pole, the two were getting closer and closer, and the sand scorpion man had already raised two long knives, if the Quint man did not lose the totem pole, he might be cut off by the sand scorpion man.
After a moment of deliberation, the Quint threw away the totem pole in his hand, raised his hands high, and admitted defeat.
