Chapter 132: Demon Fighting Field

Thunder Cliff has a big gladiatorial arena, which is something that everyone who comes to Thunder Cliff will know almost immediately. Although the new ball games are also very fun, the most suitable activity for the Salts and Gray Dwarves is indeed the bloody monster gladiatorial fight.

The original gladiatorial arena in the Thunder Cliff was not very large, and the place that Mo Yan had just made out for fun at the beginning was only a simple arena and seats of less than five hundred people. However, with the continuous development of Thunder Cliff and the increasing number of viewers, the original venue was not enough to meet the needs of the residents. So we had to choose a new site and build a new one near the newly built stadium tube.

The new Colosseum is a large circular structure with a large number of square stones for the foundation, which are then cemented with the characteristic Thunder Bluff. The Colosseum consists of a series of circular arcades on three floors, with extensive use of white stone columns, and a rain cloth for the auditorium, as well as a reading box on the third floor.

In the new arena, the arena is an oval in shape, and the earthy yellow ground is covered with a layer of golden yellow sand to keep the blood clean, and it is here that the monsters or humans in the arena fight, and then die here in cheers or amazement.

Such a gladiatorial arena can accommodate up to 10,000 people to watch the performance, and various service facilities are also complete, not only can provide special gladiatorial food, but also can buy some cute monster puppets, and you can also see the puppets played by humans at the door to solicit guests during the rest of every seven days.

Of course, this series of modern amusement park-style operations could not have been conceived by these natives, and the operator of the gladiatorial arena has always been the master of the entire city, the minotaur who lives in the white castle. Moreover, the shape of the new gladiatorial arena has also been copied, and in that direction, the new gladiatorial arena is the same as the Colosseum in Rome, but it has shrunk a lot.

The gladiatorial arena, named the Demon Arena, is one of the most famous amusement facilities both in the Thunder Bluff and in the entire Elam. Even the wealthy or powerful from other cities will come here to watch the performance in the magic arena, and the box on the third floor has become a status symbol, and those who can go there to watch the performance have paid a lot of price.

Recently, the Demon Arena has even launched a betting service, and every monster that goes into battle is labeled, given a domineering-sounding nickname, and is posted on the notice board outside the Demon Arena the day before the gladiatorial fight begins, so that people who come to the Demon Arena to watch the performance the next day can bet on the monsters they like.

Some smart people in Thunder Cliff even began to make some atlases of monster combat power analysis, and they sold quite well in Thunder Cliff, and they were sold out almost every day. And in such a mixed place, scoundrels and others will of course inevitably appear. Although there are special guards in the arena, these unemployed vagrants do not dare to do anything excessive, but theft and fraud happen every day.

At this time, at the betting place of the Demon Arena, a short and fat Saltman was enthusiastically introducing a person who seemed to be coming to the Demon Arena for the first time. The crowd passed by them quickly, it was almost time to start, they had to hurry up and buy the monsters they liked, once the deadline for placing bets was reached, they could only wait for tomorrow.

"I have inside information. The short and fat Salt stared at the middle-aged man who came to the Demon Arena for the first time with a pair of shrewd eyes, looked around as if he was afraid that others would hear his words, and said cautiously: "I am in charge of cleaning the monster lounge in the Demon Arena, and I can come into contact with those monsters every day, and I understand their current state." ”

"Then why don't you buy it yourself?" the middle-aged man was obviously wary, he looked at the stocky Salt and asked, "If you had such a reliable source, you would have made a fortune by constantly betting, wouldn't you? "The middle-aged man can be regarded as a person who has traveled a lot, although it is the first time to come to the Demon Fighting Arena of Thunder Cliff, but he is not confused by the news of his fortune.

"We have a rule that all the people who work in the Arena can't place bets here. The stocky Salt smiled and said, "The people in charge of selling the betting numbers know us, and I can't show my face in front of them." And as I said, I'm just telling you the information and not taking your money in advance, so if you don't win, you won't have anything to lose, right?"

The middle-aged man hesitated a little after listening to Humpty Dumpty's words, and felt that there was really no risk, so he decided to listen to Humpty Dumpty's words and buy it according to the number he provided......

"Hey...... Another hooked one. The stocky Salt watched as the middle-aged man walked to the betting desk, took out a few silver coins and began to bet, a smile of triumph on his face. Although this is a very simple trick, if you don't understand the reason, it is easy to be deceived and you don't know why.

This kind of person who picks out people who are not familiar with the betting place is called "instructor" by those who know the industry nearby. They didn't have any special source of information as he claimed, and the so-called winning monster number was just a casual remark they had made.

After all, there are only a few monsters participating in the competition, they only need to find these people who have just come to the Demon Arena, or who are not familiar with the Demon Arena, and let them buy all the monster numbers in turn, then there will always be one person who will win and get the prize. And when the winner goes to claim the prize, they will wait there to claim their share, so that they can almost say that they have no bets at all and will get a fair share of the prize.

Soon most of the audience was seated, and the monster gladiatorial battle in the Demon Arena was about to begin. Although the arena is open during the rainy season, it has been affected by heavy rain, and today's gladiatorial fight is the first large-scale performance since the end of the rainy season. Several monsters that are already familiar to the audience will also appear today to fight.

The first gladiatorial battle soon began, and the special opening was a battle between three hundred goblins armed with improvised weapons and armor against an unprotected minotaur armed with a dual-wielding battle axe. The goblins are not very warlike or even timid, but the number of three hundred can be tricky for even one or two Salt warriors, but it is precisely because of this that it is a bit of an eye-catcher.

The minotaur who appeared on the scene was not an ordinary person, he had already performed a hundred performances in the Demon Fighting Arena, and he could also be said to be experienced in a hundred battles. The minotaur, named Chief, did not rush to the goblins who were trembling in a simple formation in the arena after coming out of the preparation room of the Demon Arena.

He wasn't the rookie who had just arrived in the Demon Arena now, and he knew that what he was doing was a show rather than a normal battle, and he slammed the two steel battle axes in his hands into each other with a crisp and loud sound. He walked slowly around the field with a leisurely pace, raising his hand to greet all those who cheered him.

A feeling that he had never felt before reverberated in his chest, and humans generally called it glory and pride. This feeling made the chief feel unusually comfortable, and even made him like these humans who were used as food before he came to Thunder Bluff.

Men and women in the audience, holding the tickets they had wagered, shouted the chief's name and cheered for his appearance. Some people who came to the Demon Arena for the first time were also infected by the emotions of other excited spectators, and their emotions were surging and boiling.

However, just as the chief showed off and was about to start tearing apart the goblins in front of him, a huge shadow obscured the entire sky. A huge object that had never been seen before appeared in the sky above the Demon Arena, and the thick steam erupted from the whistle with a loud sound, forming a white mist in the air and drifting away.

If it weren't for the bright red Thunder Cliff banner icon on top of this long columnar object, let the audience in the audience know that this is the product of Thunder Cliff, and it is estimated that everyone would have fled everywhere in fright. Soon the manager in charge of the Demon Arena received a message from the SS.

Use the amplification magic in the field to announce the name and function of the aerial object to all the audience, and keep them calm and restrained as they continue to watch the game in the field. In what is called an airship, the master of Thunder Bluff is in it, and he has only come to watch the show.

The audience who understood the object in the air let go of their hearts hanging in their hearts, but no one had the heart to watch the performance, they were all absorbed by the airship in the sky, and everyone was speculating about how this huge thing flew into the sky and why it spewed such steam. What kind of magical tools did the city lord who seemed to be omnipotent?

After tearing the last goblin with his hands, the chief drenched his head with blood all over his head, closed his eyes and roared in anticipation of the cheers. But there was silence in the Demon Arena, which made him open his eyes and look at the audience strangely, only to find that everyone was looking up at the sky, and couldn't help but throw the goblin's corpse to the ground in anger, and turned back to the lounge angrily.

His brain, which is not very intelligent, does not understand why the audience does not pay attention to him, in his eyes, the airship in the sky is not a big cloud? I really don't know what to see, is it more wonderful than his own performance? Although above this cloud, there seems to be a pattern similar to the Thunder Cliff flag.
