Chapter 12: The Poison Called Killing
Barron looked blankly in the direction where Carl was, his eyes were empty and weak, he was world-weary, dark, and arrogant before, but he hadn't tried to really kill people before, even if he could see it every day around him.
There was a lot of cheering in the audience, because this was not what they wanted to see, and they couldn't accept an adult being killed by a child so sloppily.
Barron was in a complicated mood, and wiped the blood from his forehead with a numb expression, but he didn't know that his trembling arm didn't wipe the blood flowing from his head at all, and for some reason, Barron's brain was drowned out by tinnitus at this time, and he couldn't hear the sounds around him, and his feet were like stepping on cotton, making Barron unable to stand steadily.
Carl beckoned to Barron and motioned for Barron to pass, but the numb Barron had not yet woken up from the impact of the killing, and walked towards Carl with small steps unconsciously.
Soon the cheers overpowered the cheers, and there were four men left in the arena fighting, Volker with a short sword in his hand, and Mad Pig wielding a mace, each fighting a sword and shield gladiator.
In fact, Volker already had a chance to kill the other party, he held a short sword, and he fought with the other party with ease, on the other hand, there was a short sword and a shield in his hand, and his physical strength was exhausted by Volker, and while defending, he gasped for breath.
"Hah! This kid still likes to torture people so much. ”
Ta Guoyan himself is also the type of person with poor physical strength, watching Volcker torture each other like this, he loves and hates, and in the end he still can't help shouting at Volker: "Okay Volker, you can solve it quickly, come back, don't miss the show for a while." ”
Hearing the word "good show", Volker instantly came to his senses, and immediately launched a surging attack like waves towards the sword and shield gladiator in front of him.
Barron looked up at Carl suspiciously, but after Carl heard the word "good", he was not as excited as Ta Guoyan and Volcker. Carl knew that Barron was looking at him, and after touching the stubble on his chin, he explained to Barron solemnly.
"Everyone has different reasons for being happy, but in this country, at least most people, like to kill brutally, and the good thing in his mouth is to watch how mad pigs ravage each other."
Carl paused, looked down at the hollow-eyed Barron, his eyes were complicated, and he controlled his voice to a volume that only he and Barron could hear.
"Killing is the most vicious poison in the world. It will corrode a person's mind, making people forget family affection, ignore friendship, and betray love; It can make people walk dead, he can make people stop thinking; It's addictive, it makes people like cruelty, it likes blood, it makes people fall in love with that feeling without a bottom line, and it finally spreads in the interpersonal relationship, so that people spread the poison called 'killing' to more people. ”
When Carl finished saying the last word, he shook his head slightly, the magnitude of this shaking was so small that he couldn't see it without looking closely, and Carl's eyes seemed to want to hit Barron's soul, staring at Barron's eyes.
"So, listen to me, little ghost, don't indulge in it, it will hurt you."
For some reason, Barron couldn't hear everything around him, but he heard Carl's voice clearly, and it wasn't until Carl finished the last word that Barron's five senses returned to normal.
Carl's words just now kept repeating in Barron's mind, he didn't know killing, he didn't understand poison, and he didn't understand family, friendship, and love, so Barron denied Carl, he only knew that nothing was worse than the current situation.
Barron looked at the man he had killed, a little lost, and a little helpless and whispered to Carl: "How can you hurt me, I'm like this, how can you hurt me." ”
Karl sighed, looked at Barron with some concern in his eyes, opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again, and his eyes returned to the battlefield, but he was not interested in watching this game in doubt.
In the face of Volker's stormy attack, the sword and shield gladiator had no power to resist, Volker was too nimble to fight, but Volker always found his weakness.
The sword and shield gladiator's hands and feet were already trembling with exhaustion, and there were already a few more sword marks on his body, and blood was flowing all over his body, but he still had no intention of giving up.
As a sword fighter, he was either cowardly and humbly tortured to death by the other party, or he fought to the death with the other party bravely and fearlessly. The sword and shield gladiator decisively chose the latter, he already knew that he would die today, but he also had to show the strength of a man.
He let out a loud shout, his whole body burst out with strength, and rushed towards Volcker with his shield, but Volcker thought that the other party had no strength to resist anymore, so he didn't take much precautions. The sudden shield made Volcker unavoidable, and he was directly knocked out by the shield.
Yes!
The gladiator roared at Volker, throwing away the shattered shield in his hand, pointing his dagger at Volker as he got up from the ground, and then patting his chest muscles hard.
"Ahem!"
Volker coughed up a bloodshot and a wicked smile erupted from the corner of his mouth. Volker, who stood up, patted the sweaty sand on his body, and then made a mocking gesture to the other party very arrogantly.
Yes!
After another roar from the other party, he rushed up with a short sword, and now it is a duel between a short sword and a short sword, fighting for skill, fighting for proficiency, and for the use of short sword, Volcker is very confident.
The sword and shield gladiator slashed at Volker, who easily dodged it, and spread his hand to show that he didn't exert any strength. The opponent stabbed straight with his short sword, but the short sword in Volker's hand slashed towards the opponent's short sword, deviating from the attack trajectory of the opponent's weapon, and also flashed to his back.
Just as Volker rubbed shoulders with the sword and shield gladiator, Volker slapped the sword and shield gladiator on the back with the blade of his sword. The sword and shield gladiator who received this blow was knocked to the ground and rolled a few times, he got up from the ground, and looked at Volker viciously, he knew that just now, Volcker could already kill himself, and it was Volker who wanted to humiliate himself.
And at this time, the whole audience was cheering for Volker, this is what these spectators want to see, these spectators are urging Volcker to continue, only when they see blood, can they really go crazy.
After all, this sword and shield gladiator lost in combat skills, obviously launched a sneak attack, but was kicked to the ground by Volker, who didn't look back, he only felt that the world was spinning, and his eyes were black.
Yes! Damn it......
A scream sounded in the gladiatorial arena, and the people in the audience instantly boiled to a new height, regardless of men, women, and children, many people were excited to take off their shirts and throw them into the battlefield, which was a way for the audience to express their cheers.
