Chapter 24: The Colosseum
Hui Huan went straight up to the sixth floor of the Eight Immortals Building, found a place to stay, and tapped on the wall a few times to make sure that all this in front of him was not an illusion.
After turning around, I found that the walls of this flat floor were covered with the Colosseum's iconic arched windows, which were bottomless but surprisingly small, only the size of two palms.
How do you get in?
Huihuan neither knows the method of shrinking shape, nor does he have the technique of turning into a rainbow, and he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at the moment.
If it's really like an ant on a hot pot, it's great.
Ants can easily climb in.
Looking back, I can't help but think back to Chebe's childhood, the famous real Colosseum, maybe I can find some way to enter.
The same stone slurry pouring, the same color and texture, the difference is that the real Colosseum is in the open air, and the imitation of this one has a seventh layer on it.
Besides......
In addition to that, there is a corner of that Oth Colosseum that is missing.
After two earth shakes, the Colosseum, which is said to have been established for thousands of years, was shattered by a corner.
Hui Huan still remembers that it is such a gap that makes this building full of traces of time and beauty.
Indeed, there was a gap, and Hui Huan still remembers that at that time, the ministers were still arguing, and the final conclusion was that the mutilation was part of perfection.
So where is the missing corner of this "sixth layer"?
After searching for a long time, he finally woke up to the fact that the Eight Immortal Towers were upside down, so the Colosseum he saw in the past was missing a corner on it, and now he should focus on his feet.
Sure enough, in the place where Huihuan first settled, a certain piece of the wall was hollow, knocking off a thin layer of stone slurry on the surface, and a missing corner that could accommodate people to pass through appeared.
Hui Huan pulled out the wooden stick in his waist, tried hard to learn an ant, and from the missing corner, he could get into it.
When I went back to the world, in the small window of the upside-down "Colosseum", countless lights and shadows suddenly appeared densely.
There are birds and beasts, there are indescribable things, and more people are people.
Like a lamp, it hung in the upside-down "small window" that was supposed to be the doorway, densely packed.
Oh, all the lights are bright, and the light and shadow in the lights open at the same time, and the screams and roars like purgatory come from here.
There were two palm-sized heads, like two bats, hanging upside down in one of the windows.
"Coming back so soon?" The one who opened her mouth was a chubby and gorgeous woman.
"The soul is here, how far can he run?" The other person is a beautiful bearded man.
"Hey, hey."
"Hey, hey, hey."
Behind the two heads, two more heads protruded, an old woman and a child.
There was a lot of laughter, as if the family was having some kind of conversation happily.
……
The night breeze blew, and everything was business as usual.
……
As soon as he entered the Eight Immortals Tower, the screams were gone.
As soon as Huihuan entered from that missing corner, he fell like an abyss and kept falling.
There is only silence around. Looking at the "sixth layer" from the outside, it was only two or three people high, and it took a stick of incense to fall back to the end.
landed on the ground, and with some glimmer of light, Huihuan found that this was a dungeon.
Seeing the huge iron prison door in front of him, Huihuan realized that what he was in was the "fighting room" where the "fighting beasts" were held.
He had looked closely at the door.
When the king of Tu Sazhen was alive, Chebe was still a martial country, and every rest day or holiday, the Colosseum was full.
The princes and nobles are even more tireless, not only willing to watch, but also willing to participate in it.
For this reason, several princes did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to search for warriors, fierce beasts and even demons throughout the country and even the entire Taier Continent.
Although his father, who was still a prince at that time, was not particularly indulged in this, he often took his three sons to watch.
The so-called Colosseum, at first, was just a fight between man and beast, and later, it gradually evolved into the largest and craziest gambling game in the southern continent.
This historical origin, Huihuan does not know much, since he was a child as a prince of sword cultivation, he has been in the deep mountains and blessed land all the year round, and he does not ask too much about mundane things.
It's just that he had watched a few gladiatorial fights in his childhood, and while waiting, his eyes were like everyone else, staring closely at the two huge grilled iron gates.
God knows what kind of gladiators will appear behind this iron gate in the near future.
Is it a two-foot tall elephant giant who can cut off the head of a strange beast with a single axe?
Or is it the primeval jungle of the land of rain that eats countless people?
Or is it the female sword fairy who didn't know what heavenly rules she violated and was punished as a night slave?
And if there is a fight to the death between them, how exciting and fascinating should it be?
But those were just the childish longings of children, and now when he stared at the iron gate, he saw that there were axes and chisels, sword wounds, bloodstains, feathers, tragedies, and legends.
But it's more miserable, what difference is it between knives and fish and meat?
It's just a small black hole, and the light through the gate of the grille is faintly bright and bright, which really makes the people who are locked in it excited.
It seems to imply that whether you are a human or a beast, out of this door, under the light, you have freedom.
Fight for freedom, you can leave your life behind and fight wonderfully!
When Huihuan thought of this, his heart was cold, and he couldn't help but walk forward and walk towards the door.
Suddenly.
The sound of passionate music came from outside, and the tsunami-like applause rang out.
Then it seemed that 10,000 people were shouting his name.
"Hui Huan Achebe!"
"Hui Huan Achebe!"
"Hui Huan Achebe!"
No, 100,000 people.
Huihuan knows that the limit of the Colosseum is 100,000 people.
At this moment, 100,000 people were shouting Huihuan's name at the same time.
Then, the audience suddenly fell silent again.
"Us! Ouse! Ouse! ”
"The seventy-thousand, three-hundred-and-eighty-sixth battle of the Uss battlefield is about to begin! Now let's welcome us with a round of applause—"
The 100,000 spectators held their breath.
"Welcome to our fighter on the left—the third prince of Chebe—the world's most beautiful blonde sword cultivator—Huihuan Achebe!"
"Hui Huan Achebe!"
"Hui Huan Achebe!"
"Hui Huan Achebe!"
Thunderous applause rang out again.
"And our fighter on the right - our 'Bone Knife' who has maintained an undefeated record of seventeen games, the bloodthirsty 'Xianchuan Butcher', and the outsider - Dan Li!"
The audience then began to shout the name "Tanri" again.
The referee or the presiding officer shouted into the audience, "The rules of the Colosseum are—"
"There are no rules!"
"The rules of the Colosseum are—"
"Till death rest!"
"The rules of the Colosseum are—"
"Blood for blood!"
Hui Huan was confused, but instinct made him clench the wooden stick in his hand.
The iron gate in front of him groaned heavily, like a giant beast, and slowly rose up.
Many years ago, when Hui Huan was a child, he saw this scene in the stands.
Also like a giant beast, looking from the stands, the corner of the Colosseum, like a one-eyed giant beast, slowly raised its eyes.
The gladiator returned and slowly walked to the center of the Colosseum.
