Chapter Twenty-Three: When the Wind Rises, I Can't Hold Your Hand
I felt a danger that was so intense. Chen Jue instinctively got up. A swipe. The body was 6 meters away from his large iron bed like a swimming fish.
"Boom," Chen Jie's bed was blown into a pile of debris.
At this time, the 14th bed that Chen Du had changed. It was also the umpteenth time he escaped death.
A large man with a height of 2 meters carries a rocket launcher. Appeared at the door, and just now he fired a shot casually. The positioning is accurate, and the power is great. It's fast. made Chen Juedu secretly admire.
γηͺη©ΈγShoot.
There was a soft sound. Dahan's body fell to the ground with a bang. He had an extra bloody hole in his forehead.
Chen Jue walked over. Gently pick up the rocket launcher. Turning to look at the roommates who were still standing from a distance and watching this way. Apologetically, he said, "I'm sorry." I'm a little more troublesome. Let's sleep quietly. Tomorrow there will be even more brutal gladiatorial fights. β
The crowd was silent. Each returned to his own bed.
It's a most ordinary night here.
Early the next morning. On the playground of the training camp. Chen Jue saw the woman named Ye Zi last night. She came to this class. This is a new class of 18 dilapidated classes.
There is less than an hour left. They are about to embark on a new gladiatorial battlefield. This time the survival rate may be much higher than the last time.
The aftermath of the war was more than just surviving. Eliminating the weak and reserving the strong is one of the main objectives of the battle.
Looking at the leaves that came towards him. Chen Jue nodded to her. Catch her outstretched hand. "Now I see you again." β
"Hmm. We can fight side by side in the future. Ye Zi said quietly.
Chen Jue smiled. "I'm in a lot of trouble," he said. β
Ye Zi said: "What does it matter? In fact, we all have the same fate. β
Chen Jue looked at this delicate and slightly stubborn woman. said, "Hmm. Let's work together. Strive to make it to the end. Get out of the Nine Shades. Tonya will be proud of you in the future. She would also be proud of her own vision. β
Ye Zi pursed his lips. Her lips are beautiful. Like two pale red petals. Neck-length short black hair swayed slightly in the wind. A brown leather tights wrapped around her delicate and toned body. It looks so heroic.
She looked at Chen Jie. Somewhat uncertain, he asked, "Are you sure you don't plan to enter the ranks of first-level reformers yet?"
Chen Jue nodded. He said softly, "I wonder if you saw the blacksmith striking iron?"
The leaves are a little dazed. She shook her head. Asked, "Does it have anything to do with your entry into the first-level transformation and blacksmith iron?"
Chen Jue looked at the leaves. Eye waves are like water. "I have lived in the Manu and Ingra steppes for 7 years. Many of the herdsmen's scimitars come from my hands. Other blacksmiths only cost 20 silver coins for a scimitar. And my scimitar costs 1 gold coin. Do you know why?"
Ye Zi continued to shake his head and said, "I don't know. It could be that you played well. β
Chen Jue smiled: "Then do you know why I can fight such a good scimitar?"
Little stars were born in the eyes of the Danfeng of the leaves. She said, "Let's talk about it." β
Chen Jue looked at the leaves and said, "Iron striking has to go through many quenching processes. Then they had to be hammered with a hammer. Forge the weakest things in steel into the strongest parts. That's how I can shoot the best scimitar on the prairie. β
Ye Zi heard Chen Jie's words thoughtfully.
Two hours later.
Ye Zi sat quietly next to Chen Jie, and there were still two games before it was her turn. She wasn't worried about her safety in this fight. It is the life and death of Chen Du beside him. This is the man Tonya asked them to protect. She solemnly entrusted this man to them. She didn't tell Chen Jie. This is also what Tonya confessed. Their mission is to fight alongside this man all the way here. Hit the Nine Shades. This was arranged by Tonya, the most severe training for them and a mission for them.
The task is difficult though. But none of the three of them refused. Accepting their mission is like accepting their unpredictable fate.
Two games later. The bodies of the two companions were dragged out.
It's Leaf's turn.
Chen Jue's encouraging eyes tapped heavily on Ye Zi's heart.
Ye Zi walked to the stage, and she knew her combat power better than anyone else. Beast blood becomes two into three rings. Transform people at level 2 and 3 realms. The wave force is 2 waves and 3 stacks. Two days off in one. Rare in the world.
It wasn't much of a problem for her to overcome these solitary bodies. Unless you meet someone who is extremely perverted.
The big man standing in front of her now is a level 2 realm. A person with a wave force of 2 waves and 1 stack. He looked indifferently at the delicate leaf standing in front of him. It's like looking at a dead person.
Leaf slowly pulled a scimitar from her waist. A scimitar like a full moon.
The man chuckled. Stride out. The big fan-like hand is directly inciting towards the leaves. Don't care about the sharp full moon scimitar in the leaf's hand.
"Bang", the knife in Yezi's hand was slapped away. The body also shuddered a few steps.
The man continued to pounce. The body jumped high. Two legs like elephants slap the neck of the leaf and cut it backwards.
The leaf took two steps back. The fallen moon scimitar rose up and returned to the leaf's hand. Then rotate into a round wheel. Suddenly cut into the big man's feet.
At the same time, Ye Zi's mouth began to chant words.
The big man was stunned. The body strangely remained in mid-air.
An infinitely sharp moon scimitar pulled off his head without any fancy tricks.
On the audience, people watched this scene quietly.
It's this powerful woman. She was on stage for the first time. In just half a move, he took out a gladiator who had won 72 consecutive matches.
Chen Jie, who was sitting in the player's seat, nodded with satisfaction and said silently: "It seems that this little Nizi's [Summon] ability can already summon the water element in the air and form an elemental shackle. β
When the leaves walk down the gladiatorial arena. It was a long time before the audience erupted in a roar.
There are joys and sorrows, shouting and making trouble.
It's a crazy world. People are firmly trapped by the chains of fame and fortune. Interests shape people's emotions, perspectives, and positions.
Ye Zi walked over to Chen Jue's side and sat down. Sideways looking at Chen Jie. He asked, "Isn't it a wise choice to become a reformer?"
Chen Jue replied cleanly, "Yes." It was a very wise decision. I'm definitely going to be a transformer, too. But I will be the strongest transhuman. "There was a pause. Chen Jue looked at Ye Zi with a strange look in his eyes. Continued: "He thinks you're weird. Do you have more than one ability?"
Ye Zi nodded earnestly. There is a feeling of rippling water in the eyes.
Chen Jie's eyes were also filled with a heart-pounding smile. said, "I can definitely outnumber you." Hehe. β
The leaves pouted. Short black hair fluttering in the wind. Brushed on Chen Jie's face. There is an itchy and crispy feeling. It seemed that he could still smell the smell of sweat on her body.
A new round of fighting began in the Colosseum. Chen Jue looked sideways at his classmates who were still alive after the battle. This time, the mortality rate was close to 50 percent. The battles that follow are just as full of variables. It's not easy to come back alive.
In the Nine Shades. The Colosseum was the largest slaughter ground outside of the hunting grounds. Very few trainers have made it out of their one-year gladiatorial arena career alive.
As an ordinary person, it is almost impossible to survive in this gladiatorial arena. All professional gladiators are reformers of the second level or above, and their strength exceeds 99.99% of the Nine Shadows Instructors.
At this time, Ye Zi gently pushed Chen Du. Because the radio began to read out Chen Jie's number 0001414.
Chen Jue woke up from his imagination. Stand up. gave the leaf a meaningless smile with a slightly reassuring meaning.
Come to the stage. Opposite was an extremely tall and stout man. He is 2.5 meters tall and has a big waist and a round waist. Thick leather armor wrapped around his body. The muscles under the leather armor seemed to burst out.
There was a contemptuous and solemn expression on his face. He twisted his wrist. Suddenly, his bones crackled. There was a terrifying and eerie atmosphere around his body.
His eyes were glazed. Trance is two sharp arrows that want to go out of the string. He stared at Chen Jue, who was standing opposite him. There was a kind of fierce aura in his body. Slowly flocked to Chen Jie.
Suddenly, the man began to kick in. Like lightning. Like a thunderbolt.
At the same time, the man's body swept towards Chen Du like a violent wind.
36 daggers sank into the center of the wind like a puffy cloud.
Three high-explosive grenades made three beautiful arcs and threw themselves into the wind.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang"
"Boom Boom"
With strong lashing and explosions rang out. The wind disappeared in an instant.
20 meters from the gladiatorial platform. The stout man stared at Chen Du with a pair of angry fire-breathing eyes.
At this time, the leather armor on the man's body was not as good as the rags on the beggar's body. The skin exposed from the multiple breaks on his body was horrific scars.
There are no rules here. Yes, yes, to survive. Either way.
Chen Jue smiled at the corner of his mouth. Slowly pull out a machine gun. A nine-barreled hand-held machine gun that he carefully modified.
The man's face was pale. He believed that if the other person moved a finger, he would be wiped out.
This is the gladiatorial arena. A gladiatorial arena where life and death are wrestling.
When the man looked at Chen Jie, that smile like sunshine bloomed on his face. He immediately felt his body rapidly disintegrating.
His power, his abilities have not yet had time to be unleashed.
His body slowly dissolved in his pain and unwillingness.
No matter how infinite the power. Metamorphosis again. If you can't do it, you don't have it.
It's simple. But the simpler the truth, the more people often don't understand it.
The audience was silent again. It's such a shocking scene. Scientific and technological civilization still has incomparable advantages in front of middle and low-end cultivators.
This is the reality, the indisputable reality.
This teenager has subverted people's perceptions again and again in such a dazzling way. In this arena where power and ability are contested. Will the appearance of this teenager change the rules of the entire gladiatorial arena because of this?
Leaf stood up in the contestants' area. His chest heaved violently. This young man who has only undergone a transformation of beast blood actually wiped out a 2 waves and 3 stacks of functional people under two moves. If he becomes a second-level reformer with a double rest. Coupled with his endless methods of killing, what kind of terrifying existence would it be?
I remember Tonya once told them. The three of them were no match for this teenager at all. All three of them scoffed at the time. Now she kind of agrees with Tonya's conclusions. γ
Because she didn't have the slightest certainty that she would escape from the killing of this young man just now. The weapons in this young man's hands were more powerful than she had ever seen in her life. It is definitely not the weapon of the dragon remnant clan, which has the most advanced technological civilization. But what kind of weapon is that? Where did he get these inexplicable super-powerful configurations?
When night falls. It's time for their class to leave again.
All the fixtures are over. There are still 170 students left in this class. Their survival rate this time is more than 50 percent. This is a reassuring number for them. As the people around them left one by one. At this time, each of them had a feeling of sadness in their hearts.
Back to the dorm. Ye Zi lived on a bed opposite Chen Du. Around them, more than twenty beds were empty. People would rather the two of them squeeze into the same bed than live next to Chen Jie. Or a place close to Chen.
He's a troublemaker. This is a fact known throughout the training camp. They don't want to suffer from the fish in the pond without knowing it. Only the leaves remain unmoved. Insist on staying in the nearest place to Chen Jie.
In the dark. The eyes of the leaves are still unusually bright. She turned sideways and looked at Chen Du quietly. Asked softly, "You said it was because of your performance today." Will the Colosseum change the rules? After all, it's a good place for them to make money. If there is no strong performance and the dazzling sense of competition. You're going to lose a lot of viewers. β
Chen Jue lay in the dark with his eyes open that were a little bewitching. Said lightly: "I don't know." I'm just an outlier to them. They probably won't change the rules they've been operating for more than a thousand years for me as a little person. But it doesn't have to be. They may want to change the rule. β
The air was a little heavy, and the wind was flowing quietly. The two were silent.
After a while. The leaf's soft voice sounded again: "If they change the rules." Aren't you afraid?"
Chen Jue blinked his jewel-like eyes. As if puzzled, he asked, "What does it feel like to be afraid?"
Ye Zi opened her beautiful eyes and looked at him in a daze 1.5 meters away from Chen Jie.
Her breathing was heavy. Heavy as a mountain. Like a stagnant river.
Such days flowed quietly like this. He and Ye Zi always stood side by side. Fight against the enemy's sneak attack together. Rush to the gladiatorial arena together, and then come back hand in hand.
The gladiatorial arena surprisingly did not change the rules of their game. So Chen Jue was able to easily kill his opponent one game after another. And the opponent's thermal weapons are a bunch of toys under his equipping.
But in this way, Chen Jie's gold coins won less and less on the handicap.
Two and a half months later. The number of gladiators who died at the hands of Chen Jue reached 73. The hands of the leaves were also the same number of gladiators' lives.
One day. When Chen Jue met with Han Zhen, in the green passage room that Han Zhen had purchased for him. When he unexpectedly saw Han Biyan, who hadn't shown up for a long time. His heart began to twitch violently. He seemed to be able to clearly feel the strong sense of sadness emanating from Han Biyan.
looked at the grief-stricken expression on Han Biyan's face. Chen Jue was able to guess what had happened without difficulty.
That must be Li Hui. The sister he'd only seen once.
In a closed room. Han Biyan slowly walked into Chen Jie's side. Slowly reach out your hand. Arrange the collar for Chen. This is what women love to do most for men.
Her fingers brushed lightly over Chen Jie's cheek. Brought out the heavy wisps of pain and sorrow in her body. She said in an extremely slow voice: "The investigation team was shot down by a missile on the way to Jiuyou. The army is cleaning up the wreckage and looking for black boxes. There were 128 people on board. The bodies of 120 people have been recovered. The bodies of eight people have yet to be found. Among them was Li Hui's body. β
The woman said. Tears flowed silently again.
Chen Jue's heart seemed to be suddenly hollowed out.
He is a man who does not shed tears. His tears will only flow in his heart.
On the way back. It was raining. The cold rain fluttered quietly in the sky.
In the drizzle. He seemed to be able to clearly see Li Hui's beautiful face. Her soft, murmuring whisper could be heard: "You must come back to me." β
Chen Jue silently stretched out his hand. Towards the sky. To the infinite nothingness.
