Chapter 177: First Contact
The guy climbed the pole and crossed out the "orc show" on the signboard and changed it to "orc challenge".
The residents who came to line up early picked up a big bargain and got the qualification to watch the orc challenge at a low price, while those who came later had to buy tickets at double the price.
But the temporary price increase did not lead to a decrease in the number of viewers, and the news of infiltrators challenging orcs in the Colosseum spread through the city, and the whole town was boiling, and people rushed to the Colosseum with their valuable belongings to witness this unavoidable confrontation.
In order to allow more people to watch the game, Harvey had half of the cloth shed dismantled, and the cage in the center of the yellow mud field was placed in the sun, and the strong sunlight steamed the blood on the ground.
The performance was delayed by two hours, and Shu Yungui was taken to a small house with food and water on the table, and the man specially reminded him, "Eat more, maybe this will be your last meal."
There was meat on the plate, but Shu Yungui couldn't swallow it when he remembered last night's dream, he took out the energy glue stick in his pocket and ate it, his physical strength was greatly replenished, and he fastened the tactical gloves and leather boots on his body tightly, and then sat down and tried to use his mutation ability.
The light condensed at the fingertips and gradually spread to the palms of the hands, and after a few days of rest in the originally empty body, the existence of the mutation ability could already be felt, although it was not much, but it was enough.
At this time, Shu Yungui had to be glad that there was still half of the worm nucleus in his body, although it was not as strong as when he existed at the same time as Lin Ai's half, but the mutation ability that slowly recovered should still be able to help a lot in this game.
After making all the preparations, he slept on a bench, this time without dreaming, and did not wake up until the man came to call him, and was in very good mental and physical condition.
But looking at the guy's face was not very good, on the way to take him to the Colosseum, I heard that the most powerful orc was too aggressive, and they took turns to fight but failed to bring it out, Harvey could only retreat and replace it with an orc with an average aggression.
Shu Yungui snickered in his heart, it seems that opening the Colosseum is not so easy, the infiltrator is easy to catch, and the orcs are not such obedient creatures.
Soon, the guy took him to the Colosseum, and someone saw him from afar, the circular field was crowded with people, and many people had no place to sit and could only stand, but this did not affect them at all waving and whistling, shouting excitedly towards Shu Yungui.
They made their way through the excited crowd to the edge of the cage, where another man hung a striking red cloth in front of and behind him, which was supposed to attract the attention of the orcs as much as a bullfight.
Shu Yungui looked at the red cloth on his chest, and felt that he had returned to the Boxing Hearing Game in an instant, and the eye-catching bullseye logo on his body was still vivid.
He stood by the cage and thought, it turns out that the malice of human beings towards human beings has never changed, no matter what the social environment is.
The guy opened the chain on the beast cage and pushed him, Shu Yungui stepped into the beast cage, and soon the chains behind him were locked again.
He stood in the cage and looked around, looking through the stout pillars of iron at the excited crowd outside, who were making gestures he couldn't understand, waving hats or scarves with a look of interest in admiring his tragic death.
"My dear ladies! Gentlemen!"
When the time was up, Harvey jumped onto the cage, clinging to the iron pillar with his arm, and shouted to the crowd, "Today! We're going to have a unique show coming up! Please tell me with your screams and cheers, are you looking forward to this show?!"
Fortunately, the roof of the shed was removed, otherwise the screams of this group of spectators would have broken through the roof, Shu Yungui can understand that they have a hard life and no fun, but he can't understand why humans like to watch the death of their own kind, just like he doesn't understand the group of people who watched the execution of criminals on the ancient earth.
The cheers of the audience were endless, and Harvey was a good hand at mobilizing the atmosphere, and in the midst of the shouts one after another, the group of people seemed to have forgotten the hardships of life, and at this moment, their souls were extremely relaxed, they were not inferior people living hungry and poor in the outer city, but the audience who were about to enjoy the wonderful performance.
As if everything in the cage exists for them,
At this moment, they found a little bit of a sense of domination in life.
"Friends! Let me introduce you to the protagonist of today's Orc Festival! A dangerous infiltrator from the wilderness - Shu Yungui!"
Harvey's hand reached out to him, and under his command, countless pairs of eyes fell on Shu Yungui at the same time, and the burning gaze could almost vaporize the sewage on the ground.
"Here! In this colosseum! This man is going to challenge our three strongest orcs!"
"Friends! Do you remember the result of the last challenge?! Let's pray for this young man! May the gods bless him!"
Harvey hung like a nimble monkey from the outside of the cage, his hand reaching to the other side, shouting, "Next! Let's unleash the orcs of this challenge, the Butcher of the Wilderness! Chapman!"
And give the orcs a name?
Shu Yungui stood with his arms folded against the iron pillar, thinking that the little artistic sentiment left by the people in the outer city might be used in this matter.
The ground shook, and the square mechanism on the ground that he couldn't pry that day opened, and the rollers above pulled the chains, lifting an iron cage from the ground.
Before anyone heard the sound first, the cage popped up, and Shu Yungui and the audience heard a roar like a tiger's roar.
The boiling auditorium fell silent at once, and everyone held their breath, as if at the slightest sound, the orcs would burst through the cages and bite their throats.
For those who were a little older, they had seen the orcs before the Outer City was built, and they still remembered the horrors of their attacks on humans.
As the cage slowly lifted, a half-human, half-beast creature with sharp canine teeth, limbs prostrate on the ground, and tiger lines on its skin was lifted out of the ground, looking very nervous, spinning in the cage, staring fiercely at the crowd in the audience.
And the iron cage continued to rise, until the sound of "dang" hit the top of the fighting beast cage, hanging a few meters above Shu Yungui's head, to make sure that it would not affect the fight below before stopping, as the bottom of the beast cage suddenly opened, the orc fell from the sky, "bang" smashed in front of Shu Yungui!
The orc walks on its animalistic limbs, with sharp claws on its fingertips, and the pupils of its blood-red pupils in a vertical line, typical of felines constricting their pupils in strong sunlight.
Even if no one on the ninth star knew it, Shu Yungui from the Hope Star Domain recognized this beast-like creature at first sight, this was a vicious mutant!
Like this tiger malignant mutant, Shu Yungui's pupils suddenly constricted, he didn't know why there were malignant mutants on the ninth star, could it be that the people here had also conducted genetic fusion experiments?!
This kind of conjecture is too outrageous, the ninth star has lost contact with the Hope field for more than a thousand years, how can the same genetic experiment appear on two planets 77 billion light-years apart at the same time?! And if you want to get genes, you must first capture the Cree worm, could it be that the ninth star was also the habitat of the Cree worm?!
Shu Yungui was stunned, this tiger malignant named Chapman smelled the scent of a living thing, and it bared its fangs at Shu Yungui after being hungry for several days, roaring and rushing towards him!
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience, and people were extremely nervous, and their eyes moved towards Shu Yungui with Chapman.
According to Chapman's degree of bestiality, Shu Yungui analyzed that this is a first-class malignant deformation, although the appearance of a tiger can already be seen in the prototype, but the feline's iconic tail, palm pad and coat have not yet appeared, and when it stands up, it can still clearly see the body structure as a human.
The first-level variant may be good news for Shu Yungui.
He leapt past one of Chapman's claws, the tip of which slashed through the cage with a string of firelight and a screeching sound.
Amid the screams of the audience as he moved, Shu Yun rolled behind Chapman, bounced up with his hands on the ground, sat on Chapman's shoulder with his legs clamped around Chapman's throat, and his right fist flashed, and the "Strength of a Thousand Forces" smashed the orc's head into a big pit with the momentum of destroying the mountains and seas.
The orc, who was called the butcher of the wilderness by Harvey, failed to withstand Shu Yungui's punch, and his skull was broken and he fell to the ground with a bang, and Shu Yungui fell to the ground gently, in the audience
In an uproar, he stepped forward and reached out to break Chapman's neck.
For Shu Yungui, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of high-level malignant deviants in the Hope Star Field, he was no longer an ordinary person who was scared to stand on end when he saw malignant mutants on the Dawn, and now dealing with this kind of low-level malignant was as easy as playing at home.
It took him less than a minute to finish off the first orc, and the audience was silent, and the guys who were about to encourage the audience to bet on winning or losing had not even spoken, and the game had already been decided.
Harvey, who was sitting in the first row, widened his eyes, rushed over in disbelief with three steps and two steps, and watched back and forth outside the cage, and finally had to admit the fact that Shu Yungui was victorious.
After a long period of shock and silence, the audience erupted in the warmest applause and screams of the day, and at this moment, they were no longer spectators, but worshippers of the god of war after a long period of orc invasion.
This is the first time that humans have dealt with orcs with their bare hands without the help of weapons, and in the eyes of the audience, the day when humans will defeat orcs and regain lost territory seems to be just around the corner.
But for Harvey, it all took a turn for the worse.
He grabbed the cage with both hands and cast a vicious look at Shu Yungui.
Chapman is an orc that he spent two bounty teams to capture, and has always been known for his brutality and bloodlust, earning him a lot of ticket money, and now he is dead at the hands of Shu Yungui, and his heart is bleeding.
Shu Yungui was keenly aware of the change in Harvey's expression, and knew that it was because he was acting too casually and casually, which made Harvey feel that it was a very dangerous thing to not get enough benefits and pleasure from this challenge.
If Harvey had changed his mind, those who had infiltrated would probably have lost their lives.
Shu Yungui avoided Harvey's eyes, and planned in his heart that he couldn't be so relaxed in the next game.
