Volume 1 Juvenile Walk Chapter 67 The Colosseum
"What?"
Zhao Feiyan looked at the young man in front of him incredulously, a little unable to believe his ears.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and all the passers-by and vendors looked at Li Xuanji with wide eyes, and then they all boiled. A lot of people are whispering.
"What did the boy say? He accepted? He agreed to the challenge! Am I right?"
"Isn't this young man a little stupid? He can accept this kind of rule? Isn't it obvious what Liang Tai wants to do?"
"Miss Zhao is right, this rule is the overlord rule set by the eight families of 'snakes, foxes, bears, horses, tigers, leopards, jackals' in order to snatch and occupy other people's spirit beasts. was originally arrogant and unreasonable, but he didn't expect to be brought up by Liang Tai again. Could it be that the four major families now and the eight major families in the past are actually a nest of snakes and rats, and they are in the same vein?"
"Hey, I knew that this boy was so stupid and so easy to deceive. Before Zhao Liang and the two families came, I should have challenged him. Maybe this fine dragon foal is mine now. Even if I sell it to one of them, it will be 100,000 taels of gold to say the least!
"I don't know where this boy came from. He is not very old, but he is accompanied by a fiery dragon horse, and he is completely indifferent to so much gold and silver money. How can an ordinary teenager do this? And he agreed to Liang Tai's challenge without changing his face at all, I think he is not simple. I think this battle is very suspenseful!"
Liang Tai looked at the young man in front of him with a surprised face, he didn't expect the other party to agree so simply.
The importance of the Fire Dragon Pony to the Liang family is self-evident. originally wanted to make a decent bid to buy the fire dragon horse, but the other party just didn't agree, so he was forced to tear his face and make this decision. Although he knew that the other party had no choice and would definitely step into his own trap, he didn't expect it to be so easy.
Looking at the young man's confident appearance, he suddenly felt that he would be a little blind, maybe the other party is really not simple!
But then he laughed again. What's the use of the other party being no matter how simple it is? This is Dead Dragon City, he is just a lone teenager, how big a wave can he make? Can he escape from the palm of the Liang family?
"Okay, just accept it. Don't say I'm bullying you young. There are two ways to compare 'competition to belong', one is the competition between people......" Liang Tai turned his head to look at Li Xuanji halfway through speaking, and then said with a smile: "I think this one is forgotten." There is also a kind of fighting beast between spirit beasts and spirit beasts!"
"Fighting beasts?" Li Xuanji frowned, "Use fighting beasts to decide the ownership of spirit beasts?" This is the first time I've heard of it. ”
"What's wrong? Don't you dare?"
Hearing Liang Tai's provocative words, before Li Xuanji could speak, he was pushed behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was a fierce flame. I saw it panting and nodding at Li Xuanji, asking him to agree to the other party's challenge. Even the little fox on its body waved its little paws, looking indignant.
"Okay, I promise you. Li Xuanji replied.
"Son, no, their Liang family has ......" Zhao Feiyan hurriedly tried to dissuade him when he heard it.
"Miss Zhao! The little brother has already agreed to my beast fighting challenge, and he will carry it out to the end! Liang Tai stopped Zhao Feiyan from continuing, and then turned his head to look at the fierce flame next to Li Xuanji, with a greedy look flashing in his eyes.
"Where is the beast fighting? It can't be on the streets of this city, right?"
"Of course not. Any spirit beast has a destructive power that cannot be underestimated, and destroying the prosperity of the streets and alleys of the Dragon City is a taboo for the city lord, how dare we? We have a special Colosseum in the Dragon City, and there is the best protective equipment to ensure the safety of the people watching the battle. Please come with me, little brother. I have already ordered it to go down, I think the spirit beast prepared by our Liang family has already set off, and you will naturally be able to see it when you arrive at the Colosseum. Liang Tai made a gesture of please, and returned to smiling, making people wonder if the person with an angry face and a hideous face just now was him.
Li Xuanji led Lie Yan and followed Liang Tai slowly towards the center of the Dragon City.
"Childe ......" Zhao Feiyan wanted to persuade again, but she knew that it was too late, and suddenly became anxious, and turned her head to ask the old butler: "Butler! This matter is going to be bad, this young man has fallen into Liang Tai's trap, he can't be able to defeat the monster of the Liang family! The fire dragon horse is bound to fall into the hands of the Liang family, what can I do?"
The old housekeeper also looked ugly, thought about it and said in a low voice: "Miss, it's useless to do anything now." I don't think that fire dragon horse is weak, and if the boy sends it to fight, maybe there will really be a turnaround. I've informed the head of the house, and I think he'll be coming to watch the fight. As for Han and Qin, I'm afraid they have already gotten the news and may have set off. Why don't we go to the Colosseum with them? ”
Zhao Feiyan stomped her feet anxiously on the spot, and then said helplessly: "Okay, then let's go and have a look." ”
Dead Dragon City originally started by selling spirit beasts with ice and snow attributes in the Xichuan Snow Field, and the spirit beast culture is very popular here. Spirit animals are usually powerful, and some have special abilities that not only protect their owners, but also help humans do a lot of things. Therefore, people with a little money in the city will buy a spirit beast to domesticate as their own spirit pet, and be proud of it.
Where there are people, there is entertainment, there is fighting, so there will be a lot of things that use spirit beasts to gamble and entertainment and even settle grievances in the Dragon City, and the battles between the spirit beasts occur from time to time, causing a lot of damage and losses, and later a huge Colosseum was specially built in the Dragon City, specifically for these people who need to fight beasts.
The eastern part of the city is basically a residential area for nobles, big families and spirit beast hunters, while the west city is the main trading area for spirit beast trafficking, and the colosseum is built in the west of the city center.
From the outside, the Colosseum looks like a huge cylindrical building, and there is nothing remarkable about it. But when Li Xuanji led Lie Yan and the little fox into the Colosseum, he really felt the barbarism, roughness and bloodiness of the beastfighting culture in Dragon City!
The Colosseum has an open space with a diameter of dozens of feet, and around it are the seats that rise up one by one, and there are countless rows of seats. The entire Colosseum can probably accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time to watch the battle scene together. The lowest level of the seat is also more than a few feet above the central open space. Moreover, Li Xuanji found that those edges were outlined by special magic circles, which must be some protective defensive measures. The entire Colosseum was almost entirely made of stone, but the central clearing and the surrounding walls were pitted and uneven, all of which were caused by the various attacks of the spirit beasts: palm prints, paw prints, fire marks, burst marks, blade scratches...... Numerous. In addition to these scars, there are countless mottled dark red blood stains, which make the stone look dark and shocking!
When Li Xuanji led Lie Yan into the Colosseum, hundreds of people had already come to the arena, and many more people walked in one after another. When they saw him and the conspicuous bright red dragon foal, the Colosseum suddenly became bustling, pointing fingers at him and Blazing Flame.
"It turns out that the dragon horse that is as bright as fire is the famous fire dragon horse, this is the first time I have seen it, and it is indeed worthy of its name!
"I heard that the young man next to the fire dragon horse is its real owner, that is, he promised to fight the Liang Tai beast with the Liang family. It is up to the winners and losers of the competition to decide the ownership of the fire dragon horse!"
"Why is this young man so idiotic! Liang Tai dared to agree to this kind of request, which clearly showed that Liang Tai wanted to seize the fire dragon horse. ”
"What can he do if he doesn't agree? The Liang family is powerful in Dead Dragon City, how can he be a little boy who can fight? Even if he doesn't agree, the Liang family also has other ways to force him to comply. And even if the Liang family doesn't make a move, will the other three families let him go?"
"But I heard that both Zhao Liang and his family had bought his Fire Dragon Pony for 150,000 taels of gold, but he didn't agree. Now it's up to the fighting beast to decide where he belongs! He's so stupid. ”
"That's not necessarily, I don't believe that these two families can really give him so much gold! Even if he did, how could he take it? I'm afraid that my life will be lost on the way. I think the teenager did a very wise job. Although he will definitely lose the fire dragon foal in the end, he can save his life and his dignity. ”
"Alas, in short, the fate of this teenager is really pitiful. What happens next depends on his creation. ”
Li Xuanji looked at the lively Colosseum, his brows furrowed, and he didn't seem to like it very much.
"Little brother, how about we fight beasts here in a while? This Colosseum is the most famous place in our Dragon City. Liang Tai was very satisfied when he saw more and more spectators, and his eyes revealed the light of ambition.
"Can you start?" asked Li Xuanji in a calm voice.
“...... Let's wait, I think the heads of the four families of 'Han Zhao Liang Qin' in Dragon City are coming, and they should all want to see this battle. Liang Tai paused and said.
"But why should I wait for them? Do they want to see what I have to do with it?"
"......" Liang Tai was choked in his chest by his rhetorical question, and his heart was very annoyed. What a hard-mouthed boy! Look, wait for a while when the baby in the family comes on the field and see how hard you are still hard-mouthed!
At this moment, there was a commotion in one of the passages of the Colosseum. A group of people slowly walked into the Colosseum with a person in their arms, then climbed up to the high platform to watch the battle, found a position with the most open vision, and sat down.
The leader looked to be in his fifties, with a sparse beard on his chin and a wide and luxurious shirt. He was still holding a snow-white mink in his arms. The mink did not have a single stray hair on his body, the plush was shiny and tight, and it was very well-behaved and coiled on his arm.
He nodded with satisfaction after seeing Liang Tai in the field. Then he looked at Li Xuanji, his eyes were full of banter and contempt.
Immediately after that, three groups of people also poured in from the other passages of the Colosseum, and the family guards all gathered around their respective masters to find the most suitable seats and sit down.
At this point, the heads of the four major families of Dragon City were all present!
