The next morning, Xue Yi had breakfast with Ding Li and Wu Yingzi.

Xue Yi asked for a portion and ate it unhurriedly.

Ding Li is still a five-person serving, gobbling it up.

Wu Yingzi ate like he drank, although he ate very slowly, he asked for two portions, and smacked his lips with relish.

While eating, Xue Yi said intentionally or unintentionally: "Is there any place near Yandu that often fights?"

He had already thought about it last night, and there were actually many ways to level up quickly. As far as he knew, there were five or six ways to strengthen his body with potions, and to keep his body strong through fighting. But after comparison, Xue Yi believes that this method of fighting is the most reliable and has no side effects.

Although the level of other methods increases quickly, after the increase, the dragon power is not condensed, and the durability will be much worse. It is also necessary to go through constant battles to condense the dragon's power.

And quickly leveling up through battles will not have these sequelae.

That's why Xue Yi asked this question.

Ding Li thought for a while, and while continuing to stuff food into his mouth, he said, "I seem to have heard my father mention that there is a small village near Yandu, and there is a dragon fighting arena in the village, which is of the nature of blocking the field. Both dragon knights and warriors can go there to fight, and the audience will bet, and if you win, you will have a considerable prize, but if you lose, you are likely to die there. ”

"Is there such a place?" Xue Yi came with a hint of interest, "Do you know where it is?"

"I also listened to my father. There was so much blood in such a place, and my father warned me not to go there, but of course he didn't say where it was. Moreover, in such a casino-like place, the empire will not allow it to exist openly, so ordinary people don't know about it. ”

Xue Yi listened, although he was a little disappointed, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, and he must go to that place when he has the opportunity.

At this time, Wu Yingzi raised his head, smiled on his face, and said, "Brother Xue wants to go? I'll lead the way." ”

Xue Yi listened and immediately nodded: "I'll go tonight." ”

Although Ding Li looked down on Wu Yingzi, he was also very curious about the Dragon Fighting Arena in his heart. Like all teenagers, the more parents don't let him do it, the more curious he becomes. So he said, "I'll go too." ”

Wu Yingzi continued: "That kind of place is not open during the day, so we go there in the afternoon. Just get there at 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock in the evening. Oh, by the way, the academy absolutely forbids students to go to that kind of place, so don't make a noise. I'm going back now to make up a reason, and I'm not going back tonight. Otherwise, the roommate would be suspicious. At 7 p.m., gather at the entrance of the college. ”

......

For the next whole day, Xue Yi spent the whole day in cultivation. In between the exercises, he contemplated, trying to learn the third level of the ultimate fighting technique, but he was still the same as before, and after meditating for a while, there was no movement at all, and he had to give up.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was full of red clouds, and Xue Yi and the three of them gathered at the gate as agreed, and then walked towards the outside of the courtyard gate.

When they came out of the west gate of Yandu, it was already dark.

But fortunately, there is moonlight at night, and the dragon knight's eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people, so they don't have to worry.

After walking for an hour and a half, I saw a few faint lights flickering in the distance, like a small village.

When the three of them came to the village, they saw the lights coming from an inn. The inn was full of murderous-looking people. When they saw Xue Yi and the others, they all had a trace of disdain on their faces.

Xue Yi guessed that these people were all outlaws who had experienced countless lives and deaths, licking blood from the knife's edge.

What made Xue Yi a little strange was that this kind of place, where a large number of outlaws were gathered, it stands to reason that the imperial administrators would not let it exist. But this dragon arena not only existed, but it was also less than thirty miles away from Yandu. It's hard to figure out.

However, Xue Yi's way of thinking is: if you can't figure it out, don't think about it, and one day it will figure it out by itself.

Wu Yingzi said to Xue Yi and Ding Li: "This is just a disguise for the village, and the real dragon fighting arena is still inside." Follow me. ”

The three of them walked along the main road in front of the inn for a few minutes, and then suddenly turned onto a small road. The path winds and turns to the foot of the hill behind the small village.

After a few minutes, I came to the foot of the mountain, and saw that the path here led to the entrance of a cave where two people ran side by side.

At the entrance of the cave, two guards who looked like warriors were chatting. Xue Yi secretly probed with his soul and found that in terms of the soul strength of these two people, they had reached the level of an eighth-level martial artist.

An eighth-level martial artist, that is comparable to the existence of a dragoon attendant. Xue Yi and the three of them can be strangled to death in minutes.

Let the eighth-level martial artist be the gatekeeper, which shows how strong the power of this dragon fighting field is.

The two eighth-level martial artists saw Xue Yi and the three of them, with a touch of disdain on their faces, and said, "Entrance fee, ten dragon coins." ”

"Ten dragon coins, why don't you grab them?" Ding Li said directly. Even though those two were tenth-level martial artists, Ding Li was not afraid.

The two warriors didn't bother with Ding Li at all, and continued their conversation.

It was Wu Yingzi, although his flesh hurt, he gritted his teeth and took out ten dragon coins, handed them to one of them, and smiled cheaply: "Two big brothers, take it for drinking." ”

A martial artist glanced at it, didn't pick it up at all, and said ignorantly: "Ten dragon coins per person, thirty dragon coins for three people, don't you know how to count?"

"Thirty dragon coins?!"

Ding Li shouted directly, this is equivalent to a month's income of ordinary people.

Such an entrance fee is indeed ridiculously high, but it is nothing for those who die. I don't care about my life, do I still care about such a little dragon coin?

Xue Yi blocked Ding Li behind him and said to Wu Yingzi, "Take your dragon coins." ”

As he spoke, he took out thirty dragon coins from his pocket and handed them to one of the warriors: "The two of you are tired." ”

The warrior took the dragon coin, waved his hand casually, and said, "Go in." ”

Xue Yi and the three of them immediately entered through the entrance of the cave.

When Xue Yi and the three left, a martial artist swept the dragon coin in his hand, and his tone was full of disdain: "This boy, maybe it's a gentleman from which family, come to this kind of place to have a fresh picture." I'm sure they won't want to come next time they come out after they come out this time. Hahaha......"

"These little rabbit cubs who have never seen the world have a good life and come here to find death. The other warrior also looked disdainful.

Xue Yi and the three of them walked along the dark and narrow path in the cave.

Gradually, there was a slight light in front of me, and a voice came from the light.

The light is getting brighter and the sound is getting louder and louder.

The moment they walked out of the cave, Xue Yi and Ding Li were completely shocked.

I saw that this is a huge cave, roughly estimated to cover an area of thousands of square meters, which should have been formed by hollowing out this small mountain. The cave is surrounded by hundreds of huge braziers, which reflect the cave as if it were daytime.

In the center of the cave is a circular gladiatorial arena with a diameter of more than 20 zhang. The arena is surrounded by stone steps carved out of stone for spectators to watch the gladiatorial fights.

On the four walls of the cave, there are stone caves with hundreds of holes and metal fence gates.

Most of the caves were empty, and a small half of the caves were filled with people sitting or standing.

Wu Yingzi introduced to Xue Yi: "There are two kinds of gladiatorial fights in the Dragon Fighting Arena, one is a single gladiatorial fight, which means that only this one fight, no matter whether you win or lose, you can leave after one fight. The other is a circular gladiatorial fight, where you have to defeat all opponents of the same level before you can come out, otherwise you have to stay in the dragon arena all the time. The people in those caves are all engaged in circular gladiatorial fights. ”

Xue Yi looked at those people one by one, and saw that these people were locked in the stone cave, obviously unable to enter and exit freely.

Some dragon knights are locked up with dragons, and it can be seen that the metal fence gate is not only effective for people, but also for dragons.

As he spoke, the first gladiatorial fight of the night was about to begin.

There were shouts from the sidelines, "Push, Stop, Stop!"

Dozens of people gathered on the sidelines, holding dragon coins in their hands and pressing them up.

Xue Yi, they didn't press, they just came to see.

When it was just after nine o'clock, there was an immediate commotion in the whole cave. Nearly 1,000 spectators sat around the arena, waiting for the fight to begin.

Moments later, the first gladiatorial fight of the night began.

This is a single gladiatorial fight.

The two warriors entered the arena and seemed to say something, and then the two began to fight, and after more than ten minutes, one was lying on the ground, and the other was standing, raising his arms and roaring angrily.

"First game, winner, number five!" a martial artist on the sidelines reported the result of the match.

As a result, some of the audience who pressed the number five instantly screamed, while the audience who pressed the other person shook their heads and sighed, and even scolded the warrior lying on the ground.

Feeling the crazy aura around him, Xue Yi frowned.

The second and third games were also single-fight fights, and the surrounding audience was as crazy as ever.

An hour later, when the fourth show was about to begin, the crowd's frenzy intensified several times over, and the entire cave seemed to tremble with their cries of madness.

"The fourth, the round-robin gladiatorial fight, our long-awaited number 11, is about to play. ”

Coax-

When the announcer announced the number "Eleven", the entire cave was overturned by the shouts of the spectators.

"Eleven, eleven, eleven......" the audience shouted in unison.

Many viewers immediately placed their bets on No. 11. No. 11 has won more than 50 consecutive fights and is the most vigorous cyclic gladiator in recent months.

Soon, Eleven appeared on the field with another gladiator.

The two barely communicated, and as soon as they came up, they pounced and beat each other. In just a few minutes, Eleven's opponent collapsed in a pool of blood, both legs were broken, one arm was torn off, and blood sprayed in the firelight, in a terrible state.

Eleven's eyes were red, and he was holding his opponent's arm and waving it constantly, roaring wildly. The blood on the severed arm continued to spill into the audience as he swung it.

The spectators had blood on their faces, but they were even more excited: "Eleven, eleven, eleven!"

Cyclic gladiatorial fights are several times bloodier than single gladiatorial fights!

Wu Yingzi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but found that his throat was dry and he couldn't swallow it at all.

"The first time I came here, I saw a scene of a circular gladiatorial fight, and I didn't eat for several days," he said. ”

Ding Li and Xue Yi were silent. This is really not something that these young people who are less than twenty years old can accept.

Of course, Xue Yi is better, after all, he has also gone through some life-and-death battles. And Ding Li was sad, a rich kid like him, how could he have experienced this, his chest was churning in a moment, and he couldn't help but rush up in his throat.

Seeing this, Wu Yingzi said: "It seems that I shouldn't have brought you here, I shouldn't have let you see this, forget it, let's go back." ”

Xue Yi took his eyes off the bloody scene at this time, as if to calm his emotions for a moment, before he said: "Come here, if you don't fight, won't you waste my thirty dragon coins." ”
