Chapter 18: The Crisis in the Colosseum
After a while, the surrounding houses were gradually thinning, and there was a faint noise in front of them, as if a large number of people were gathering.
Soon, after passing through the burly and hideous statues, a huge gladiatorial arena appeared in front of me.
The whole gladiatorial arena covers an area of about one mile, surrounded by iron wire black ironwood net, in the form of a ladder layer of subsidence, like a huge basin, the bottom is a gladiatorial arena covered with sand, surrounded by the audience, with the style of the ancient Roman gladiatorial arena, ancient and barbaric.
There were thousands of seats on the sidelines, all crowded with bronzed-skinned barbarians, screaming and reveling loudly with an unknown scarlet drink in their hands.
The shouts shook the earth, and everyone's face was full of fanaticism.
Du Changsheng was pushed and approached the edge of the gladiatorial arena, his eyes moved down, and he happened to see the bloody scene in the gladiatorial arena.
In the huge sandy soil mixed with countless spilled blood, you can imagine what kind of fierce battle was experienced.
A man with a disheveled head, naked body, and a body as strong as a brute bull had already gained the upper hand at this moment, and finally directly twisted the head of another barbarian warrior with a slightly thin physique in front of him, and then held it in his hand, showing it to the countless audiences on the stage like showing off the trophy.
His eyes flashed blood-red with murderous lust, like an uncivilized beast.
However, it was this bloody scene that attracted the crazy cheers of countless spectators on the side of the gladiatorial arena.
Seeing this disgusting scene, Du Changsheng almost leaned over and vomited.
"Congratulations to Sparta on their nine-game winning streak! He will become the most powerful warrior of our Jiuli tribe! ”
A hoarse voice sounded, and a thin old man dressed in ancient sacrificial clothes appeared on the stage, came to the top of the gladiatorial arena, and excitedly announced, obviously similar to the role of the host.
Hearing the announcement of the thin old man, the audience in the audience boiled again and cheered.
But then, after a short revelry, someone next to him came up close to his ear and said a few words, and the thin old man's face immediately showed a look of disappointment.
"It's a pity that since there are not enough fighters to sign up for the next step, this is the last gladiatorial fight, and our competition today can only end here, it ended early!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a chorus of boos from the audience, obviously not having fun.
Many of the barbarians had displeasure on their faces, and angrily banged on the railings around them, very dissatisfied with this arrangement.
"Wait a minute, I want to sign up!"
Suddenly, a sound pierced through the commotion in the audience seats, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The person who spoke was none other than Sloane, who escorted Du Changsheng over.
He smiled evilly, rudely pushed Du Changsheng forward, overturned him to the ground, and then condescendingly pointed to his head and shouted:
"This is my newly subdued slave, and I can start fighting right away!"
In an instant, countless eyes fell on Du Changsheng.
Looking at Du Changsheng's thin and fair appearance, as well as the facial features that were slightly different from those of the barbarians, everyone was stunned at first.
The next moment, the audience suddenly boiled, and there were bursts of laughter.
"Oh? It's really rare to be a foreigner! ”
"I remember the last foreigner was beaten to pulp, right?"
"I love to see their thin arms and legs broken!"
"Haha, I'm just bored, wait for a good show, I can't wait to see him torn to shreds by Sparta and win his tenth consecutive victory!"
......
Hearing this, the thin old man, who was the host, lit up when he saw this, and it was difficult for him to calm the emotions of the audience when he ended today's gladiatorial fight, but he didn't expect someone to send it to the door now.
If you really want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow.
"Good! Now that there are contestants, the next gladiatorial fight will be held in ten minutes, so please enjoy it! ”
As he spoke, he flicked his fingers, and a bulging bag of animal skins flew into Sloane's hand.
"This is the reward for your slave appearance, a total of 50 bloodstones!"
After getting the animal skin bag, Sloane's eyes suddenly flashed with fire, and he couldn't wait to pour out a blood-red irregular stone, which seemed to have a strange aura on it, which could arouse the qi and blood of his body.
But soon, the red color on the bloodstone was absorbed by Sloane, and the entire fist-sized bloodstone instantly turned into a pile of powder, and his face showed a look of satisfaction, like a drug addict.
However, what surprised Du Changsheng was that when Sloane absorbed the blood stone, a faint blood qi that others could not detect seemed to be pulled, surging towards Du Changsheng's body, which suddenly made him feel a warm current all over his body, and the power of qi and blood was even stronger, but this improvement was minimal.
I didn't expect that my Spirit Devouring Technique could even take effect with the power of qi and blood?
Du Changsheng looked at the bloodstone in Sloane's hand with a stunned look in his eyes.
"Haha, go ahead, go and enjoy the process of your slaughter!"
After putting away the bloodstone, Sloane lowered his head and smiled fiercely, pushing Du Changsheng to the guards of the gladiatorial arena. In his eyes, Du Changsheng was just a slave who could exchange blood stones, and he didn't care about his life or death at all.
Because when you face a barbarian warrior with a high win rate in the gladiatorial arena, you can get a high reward as long as you appear.
"Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides in this match, there will be no open bets. Please return to the preparation area to prepare for the match, and start the game in 10 minutes! ”
The thin old man continued to announce, and at the same time, the barbarians in the audience around him were all excited, as if they could see the bloody and exciting scene ten minutes later, and feast their eyes.
Then, Du Changsheng was escorted into the gladiatorial arena by two tall guards, and finally came to a dilapidated secret room.
Along the way, Du Changsheng didn't say a word.
Because he knows that he can't hide from it, and the top priority now is how to survive this gladiatorial fight.
He sighed deeply, his brow furrowed.
Du Changsheng stood up, and through the holes in the wooden planks on the wall, he could see the sand sprinkled with blood outside, and he didn't know how many tragic gladiatorial battles he had experienced...... and the fanatical barbarians on stage, who were about to engage in a life-and-death struggle in just ten minutes.
Without spiritual power, how can you win?
Although his physical body has become imperceptibly stronger under the influence of the chaotic fire in the heavenly veins, and can even be comparable to the Spirit Sea Realm, it is obviously not enough to see before the barbarian warriors who specialize in the physical body.
Du Changsheng took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then summoned the system and entered the mall interface.
He rummaged through countless items, but never found what he was looking for.
Suddenly, a potion product crossed in front of him and caught his attention.
[Hulk Elixir]: The Marvel Universe Hulk serum is made of raw materials, and after taking it, you can transform into the Hulk and obtain physical strengthening.
[Selling price at the conquest point]: 300
300 conquest points?
Du Changsheng looked at the balance of only 220 points of the expedition point, and the joy that had just risen instantly fell to the bottom.
What should I do now?
Du Changsheng was a little anxious, no matter how hard he tried to urge the spiritual power in his body, it would be useless, and the black and slimy substance in the meridians could not be removed like kraft candy.
Even the chaotic fire in the celestial veins had not recovered at this moment, and it could be extinguished at any time, turning into a trace of chaotic initial qi again.
Just when he was in a hurry, he stumbled upon a lucky bag-shaped item in his inventory.
Starter Pack?
Du Changsheng suddenly remembered that he still had a newbie gift bag that he had not used, but now it was his only hope.
Even if you can't open anything peerless, as long as you can open at least 80 points of conquest points, you can resolve this crisis!
[Do you choose to open the Starter Package?] 】
The prompt sound of the system sounded in the depths of Du Changsheng's mind.
"Yes!"
Du Changsheng said without hesitation.
With a flash of bright light, the only item slowly appeared in front of Du Changsheng's eyes.
