Zhang Yi found an excuse to slip away early, the Orchid Club is a grand event in the city. Of course, it is only in the May Square that you can see a few wealthy family owners selling their granddaughters.

Coming to a remote alley, Zhang Yi trembled slightly, Qinglianyi changed instantly, and he turned into an ordinary Tsing Yi boy and got into the flow of people.

The shops on both sides of the street are shouting one after another, and in addition to the orchids everywhere, there are also a variety of goods. Many of the four treasures of the study room with exquisite shapes even attracted Zhang Yi's attention, but these were not treasures, he shook his head and continued to walk forward along the flow of people.

"Today the Colosseum captured an eight-clawed water demon, and I don't know which gladiator will be able to kill it. ”

"The eight-clawed water demon is extremely difficult to deal with, even a seasoned gladiator is difficult to defeat, maybe dozens of people will fall today. ”

The two scholars were chatting in the gladiatorial arena, Zhang Yi raised his head slightly, but he didn't expect that he had walked to Xicheng. He looked up at the sky, the sun was in the west, and he was afraid that he had walked for several hours.

He thought for a moment, followed behind the many scholars, and walked towards the gladiatorial arena.

Zhang Yi originally thought that the gladiatorial arena was just a place used by wealthy nobles to fool slaves, but after reading the introduction to the gladiatorial arena in the past few days, he realized that he was very wrong.

After walking for half a stick of incense, the gladiatorial arena appeared in Zhang Yi's eyes.

The outer wall of the gladiatorial arena is as high as 20 zhang, the long axis is about 70 zhang, covering an area of 40 acres, which is extremely spectacular, and can accommodate 100,000 people to watch the battle at the same time.

The gladiatorial arena, also known as the Colosseum, was a place that Zhang Yi thought was used by nobles to play with slaves, but he realized his mistake after reading ancient books.

The Tai'an chapter of "Hundred Kingdoms" has a description of the Colosseum.

The entire Colosseum is made of the hardest stones, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and the outside is surrounded by layers of stands. The stands have about 60 rows and are divided into five sections, each separated by a large stone ridge.

The bottom layer is for the exclusive use of wealthy families or emperors of a hundred countries, the second layer is for the use of royal relatives and nobles and celebrities, the third area is for famous families or famous talents, the fourth area is for ordinary scholars, and the last area is for ordinary people.

Zhang Yi spent money at the door to buy a ticket, and walked up the stairs according to the number to the fourth area. His current identity is just a boy in Tsing Yi.

There is also a canopy suspended by a suspension cable to shade the sun, and the canopy slopes to the center for ventilation. These canopies are controlled by the Colosseum deacons who stand on the topmost colonnade as if they were sails.

The stands of the Colosseum are known for their cylindrical arches of hard stone, with hundreds of arches on each floor, forming three rings of different heights. The grandstand retreats floor by floor, creating a stepped slope. The 100 arches on each floor form a 100 openings, and the audience enters by numbering their seats, first finding which ground arch they should enter from, and then following the stairs to find their area.

Even if 100,000 people do watch the battle, there will be no congestion and chaos because of the thoughtful design of the entrance, which is still in use even after 30,000 years.

The Colosseum's performance area is covered with holes and pipes where props and livestock are stored, as well as gladiators, who are hoisted to the ground at the start of the show.

The shocking war 30,000 years ago left the Great Zhou Terran with severe pain, but also brought unprecedented victory and honor. Whether it's the triumphal arch on the Plaza de Mayo, the memorial tower, the Daehyun sculpture, or the majestic Colosseum, they are all masterpieces left over from that time.

This majestic Colosseum, which was built by the order of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time, took more than 100 years to have today's scene.

The original intention of the Colosseum was very simple, to remind the Great Zhou Terran not to forget the hatred between the Terran and the Water Demon, so as to warn the Terran that the Scholar has the ability to defeat the Water Demon and the unyielding will to fight.

Although there are slave fights in the Colosseum, the favorite picture of the Great Zhou people is the gladiators fighting with the water demons.

The water demon is now suppressed in the endless sea, and if the soldiers along the coast capture a living water demon, most of them will be bought directly by the Colosseum and used to train the gladiators.

Gladiators were not slaves, but battle-hardened scholars. Most of them are children of poor families, and they do not hesitate to take risks and fight giant beasts for the sake of high returns.

Of course, it is not excluded that there are children of wealthy families who are keen on fighting beasts in person.

......

Tonight's giant beast is an eight-clawed water demon, fierce and abnormal, except for the first and second areas, the other areas are basically full, Tai'an City's enthusiasm for the **** war can be seen.

The spectators waited for an extremely short time, the large bells hanging in all directions rang, and dozens of gladiators rose from the hanging cages and stayed in the third area.

Zhang Yi looked at these gladiators, their faces full of fear and excitement. Most of these people's strength is the strength of lifting people, and two of them actually have the strength of tribute.

To be able to make a tribute a gladiator, the Colosseum's reward for a gladiator must be unusually rich.

Among them, it is very likely that tonight's hero will be born, so that the entire Tai'an City will remember his name. It is also possible that dozens of gladiators all fell under the claws of the eight-clawed water demon.

Zhang Yi had personally seen the ferocity of the eight-clawed water demon in Moshan City, and he couldn't help but worry about these gladiators.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi's worries were a little redundant, this eight-clawed water demon was ten times smaller than the one in the Moshan City Lord's Mansion. And this eight-clawed water demon is curled up in the cage, and there are still a lot of scars on his body, I am afraid that he has suffered a lot before this, and he is not as fierce as before.

"Release the beast!"

A Colosseum deacon shouted, and the bottom of the huge cage suddenly opened, and the eight-clawed water demon fell from the sky. The cage was about three feet above the ground, and the eight-clawed water demon reacted quickly, and the eight tentacles bent and hit the ground, making only a slight sound.

Tens of thousands of spectators let out a violent roar, and the eight-clawed water demon must have been frightened, and after landing on the ground, it retracted its tentacles again and curled up in a ball.

The cage of one of the gladiators was placed on the ground, and he walked out of it and began to write his own articles.

The Colosseum was full of energy, and the eight-clawed water demon poked its huge head out of its tentacles and looked at the gladiator. The water demon and the scholar have a deep blood feud, hidden deep in the blood.

The water demon felt the fluctuation of his temperament, and immediately raised his vigilance. It's just that the dozens of big people sitting in the first and second areas exuded a powerful coercion, which made it extremely frightened, and once again withdrew its head into its tentacles.

It only took a few breaths for the Gladiator to finish writing the article, and his article formed dozens of sharp flying swords, shooting towards the eight-clawed water demon. He clenched a humanistic treasure pen in his hand, and the wind was under his feet, following the Wenqi flying sword, and pounced on the water demon.

Zhang Yi was a little surprised, it took him dozens of breaths to write his own articles. These gladiators walked on the verge of life and death every day, and even if the level of the article was not enough, with such strength, they could easily defeat other scholars of the same rank.

He couldn't help but think that if he had the opportunity, he could train his abilities in the Colosseum. It's just that the Colosseum is exclusive to the royal family, and I'm afraid that I will find out my identity.

"Forget it, this kind of battle is different from a real water demon after all. If I have the opportunity, I will go to the front line of heaven and fight the water demon in person, and the experience between life and death may be more effective. ”

Zhang Yi shook his head slightly and looked at the gladiatorial arena again.

The bladed flying sword struck the tentacles of the eight-clawed water demon, and before it could break through the water demon's skin membrane, it shattered one after another. But the attack was enough to make the water demon feel pain, and it raised its head again, blood surging in its huge eyes.

It was impossible for the gladiator to retreat, and the Wenbao pen in his hand pierced one of the tentacles, instantly piercing it.

This kind of pain was ten times better than the Blade Flying Sword, and the eight-clawed water demon didn't care about the coercion of other scholars, and his body instantly stretched out, and eight huge tentacles smashed towards the gladiator.

The human gladiator used the Wen Qi to envelop the whole body, forming a Wen Qi shield to resist the attacks of the eight-clawed water demon.

"Bang!"

The water demon's eight tentacles suddenly grew larger and elongated, like eight giant pillars, and smashed down in turn. Under the destruction of the eight tentacles, the cultural barrier of the gladiator was broken, and it was broken after dozens of breaths, and it was instantly smashed by the eight-clawed water demon and swallowed in one gulp.

The entire Colosseum became silent, they really didn't expect this eight-clawed water demon to be so fierce.

Zhang Yi was also a little surprised, most of the strength of the water demon was related to the size. Today's eight-clawed water demon should be about the same as the human race, even if it is strong, it will not be so strong.

The strength of this eight-clawed water demon is probably as good as that of a tribute warrior. It's hard

The eight-clawed water demon that Cheng had met in Moshan City before was much stronger than he imagined? It was just that he didn't have the strength to fight back in the hands of Dean Xu Ruofeng, so he looked down on it.

Fortunately, among the dozens of gladiators selected by the Colosseum today, there are two tributes to the scene, otherwise this water demon will be a big male today, and many gladiators will fall.

The Colosseum had a brutal rule, and if the gladiator failed to defeat the beast, the beast would be released. This is the rule of the Colosseum, and it is also the pride of the Great Zhou people.

Sure enough, the cage where one of the Tribute gladiators was located was lowered into the ground.

Inside the Colosseum, the spectators erupted in violent shouts again.

......

Zhang Yi stood up, and after seeing the tragic situation of the first gladiator, he was not interested in the battle that followed. His eyes glanced at random, and he saw an acquaintance sitting in the audience in the third area opposite.

On the shoulder of this acquaintance, there was an honest-looking bear, which was the little flying bear that Zhang Yi couldn't find in the past few days. And this "acquaintance" is none other than Wu Mingkong, who escaped outside Sword Lake a few months ago!

Xiaofei Bear was able to knock down Chen Zhongwen with one punch, why was he captured by Wu Mingkong. Could it be that what kind of idea is it playing?

Wu Mingkong seemed to feel Zhang Yi's gaze, smiled at him, and immediately stood up, and turned around and walked towards the stairs with the little flying bear.

Zhang Yi was worried that Xiaofei Xiong would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly followed. (To be continued.) )
