Chapter Seventy-Eight: Gladiators
Around the arena, there were several people around. Sitting on a few casual chairs were well-dressed men with confident and majestic expressions. At this time, these men were constantly whispering to each other, whispering something. Judging from their momentum, dress, and behavior, they should all be officers or leaders of some status in this air prison.
Next to these men with status, there are two sturdy ** prisoners with upper bodies. At this time, they are constantly moving their bodies, doing all kinds of small preparatory exercises. At a glance, you can see that these two are the protagonists of today's duel.
One of the prisoners preparing for the gladiatorial fight had a national character face, and the outline of the facial features on the face was extremely rough, exuding a strong and strong aura. He is not tall, and can even be said to be a little short, only about 1865 cm. But this guy is unusually strong. Like the Japanese samurai we often see in anti-Japanese dramas, he has thick limbs, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a short, stubby neck, which makes people feel as if he is resting his head directly on his strong shoulders.
At this time, he was half-naked with his upper body, revealing his bronze muscles, which were as shiny and smooth stones as the river, and around the perimeter of the gladiatorial arena, he was constantly jumping and swaying his waist and limbs. And it is his gentle breath and steady rhythm movement that perfectly presents his sense of strength and flexibility.
The other prisoner in the gladiatorial arena was much taller than his opponent, about 178 to 180 centimeters. But his body is slightly thinner than his opponent, and although he is not as strong as his opponent, he is still strong. In particular, the strong bulging biceps in his arms, and the well-developed and strong chest muscles, made him look full of strength, which was by no means comparable to the average young man and any ordinary prisoner here. Coupled with his relatively tall stature, it can be said that he is in no way inferior to his opponents, at least in terms of outward strength.
At this time, he was also half-naked, revealing a well-proportioned and robust figure, with a confident and firm demeanor, and he was constantly doing rhythmic leg pressing movements by the wall. People can't help but be as energetic and scrappy as him.
"Come on, Tang Ganglie, teach me a hard lesson to this newcomer who doesn't know the height of the sky. A tall prisoner not far away shouted into the field.
"Eh, come on, I've already made a bet on you, and you'll be able to knock this rookie to the ground in five rounds. Hahaha!" an elderly prisoner with a treacherous face shouted happily to the audience.
"What five rounds, I think it only takes two rounds, and that kid will have to be abolished by Tang Ganglie!" A one-eyed dragon prisoner in his thirties with an eye patch next to him added very unscrupulously.
"Haha, that's the best!" said the elderly prisoner just now, grinning.
Looking at the two sturdy gladiators on the field, and listening to these warm cheers, Fan Xiaoqi and Jiang Rong's hearts were also driven by this atmosphere at this time, and their enthusiasm surged. In order to be able to watch this gladiatorial battle more enjoyable and more clearly, Fan Xiaoqi took the initiative to ask a prisoner next to him, thirty or forty years old, of moderate height, who did not look too fierce, and tentatively asked.
"Hey, hey, hey...... This big brother ...... What about you, big brother!" Fan Xiaoqi asked the prisoner tentatively with a smile.
The prisoner, who didn't look too fierce, heard him shout like this, and finally slowly turned his face from watching with great interest, and glanced at Fan Xiaoqi suspiciously.
"Huh. Fan Xiaoqi smiled politely and said, "This big brother, I want to ask you a question, okay?"
"Ask me a question?...... the prisoner thought for a moment, then showed a look of no annoyance, and said slowly in a light tone, "You ask...... Who do you think you are?" he raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.
"Forehead......" Fan Xiaoqi thought for a moment, and then greeted a smile and said, "I'm sorry, uncle, when you missed your precious time to watch the game." But, but ......," Fan Xiaoqi said, took out two silver coins from his money bag and placed them in front of the prisoner with a cold attitude. Then he continued: "This little meaning, I hope you don't dislike it, big brother!"
The prisoner, who didn't look too fierce, glanced at the two silver coins in Fan Xiaoqi's hand with empty eyes. Then, a pleasant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he reached out and grabbed the two silver coins, and said lazily: "Okay, for the sake of your sincerity, then I will fulfill you this time, just ask any questions." After saying that, he carefully put the two silver coins he had just arrived in his hand into his trouser pocket, and leaned his back against the window of the corridor, waiting for Fan Xiaoqi's question.
"Okay, thank you very much. Fan Xiaoqi said with a smile. "Well...... First of all, I want to ask, who are these two contestants?"
"You don't know that, you're new here, aren't you?" asked the prisoner, his eyes wide in surprise.
"Hehe......" Fan Xiaoqi touched the back of his head, smiled embarrassedly, and then said politely: "Yes, I won't tell you, I am indeed new here, and I just arrived here yesterday." ”
"What do I say......" The prisoner looked at Fan Xiaoqi's body for a moment, and then said, "Okay, then I'll tell you." The one below with a short and stocky upper body is called Tang Ganglie. It was the fifteenth place in the previous round of the 'regulars'. Don't look small, but his combat power is quite strong. And when dueling with people, the fighting style is domineering, and he often takes the initiative in adversity, giving the opponent huge psychological pressure. In good times, he is more brave and fearless, often frantically blocking the opponent's retreating line, making the opponent panicked and eager to be caught immediately. Of course, his domineering fighting style charm has also won him the respect and admiration of many people, including officers and soldiers. Including me, they are all one of her fans. Hehe......" The more the prisoner spoke, the more energetic he became, and when he said this, he couldn't help but smile.
"Oh. Fan Xiaoqi replied, and nodded clearly at the same time.
"This guy is so good! It seems that this is lively, we have to watch it today!" Jiang Rong on the side couldn't help but interject with interest when she heard this.
"Uh?...... Who are you?" the prisoner asked, looking at the stranger in surprise.
