Chapter 229: Adam the Mountain Man [4K]
"Oh, that's a bargain for you." Calvin took a money bag from his waist and threw it at the knight's feet, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
The knight was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "This generous lord, he is yours now." ”
With that, he hurried away with his money bag in hand, paying no attention to the wailing fellows who fell to the ground, as if he had no intention of saving these poor people.
Seeing that one of the protagonists had already left the scene, the onlookers also knew that there was no excitement to watch, so they left one after another, and soon dispersed.
Ryan turned to look at the vigilant mountain man boy and said, "Young man, what's your name?" ”
"Who are you?" The mountain man didn't ask back, his legs were slightly bent, obviously ready to run away or attack at any time, but he also knew in his heart that the Tistan man in front of him was too strong, and he would definitely not be an opponent.
"Hey, little ghost. How to speak, be respectful to Lord Viscount, you belong to Lord Viscount now. Kavin crossed his arms and said to the mountain people.
"Interesting, my name is Ryan. Thunder. Blake, the lord of Kanna, what's your name? Ryan was not annoyed by his attitude, and stared at the other party with interest.
"My name is Adam, and I'm the bravest Tei warrior." Adam said a little arrogantly, completely unaware of being a prisoner.
The Tei are what the mountain people call themselves, as their earliest habitat was carved out by a river called Tey.
It's just that the river is now gone, but the name Tei has been imprinted in the blood of the mountain people, and they are proud of Tei.
"Very well, from now on, you are a subject under my rule." Ryan said as a matter of course.
"You want me to be your slave? The great Tei warriors will never give in to you. Adam was instantly furious, like a beast ready to attack, and it was terrifying.
Ryan suddenly laughed, he looked at Adam and said: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to be free, I'm standing here, you can attack me by any means, within a minute, you can defeat me or make me move, even if you win, I will fulfill my promise to return your personal freedom."
If you lose, just honestly follow me back to the territory, you will do whatever I say, how about it, dare to bet? ”
Adam raised his eyebrows, and his heart suddenly began to calculate, and soon he made up his mind and shouted, "You are what you say? ”
"Hahaha, as long as you are the talker, I will definitely not break my word."
"Okay, I'll take it, but you're going to untie the chains on my body for me." Adam first agreed happily, and then changed his words, signaled the handcuffs and ankles on his body, and said slyly.
The corners of Ryan's mouth curled slightly, he originally thought that this was a simple-minded rammer with well-developed limbs, but he didn't expect to be far smarter than he imagined.
"Calvin, untie him."
……
"Bang dang."
The heavy blackiron handcuffs fell to the ground, making a dull sound, Adam glanced at Ryan with some surprise, originally he was just trying to probe, but he didn't expect the other party to really untie him.
"Come on, within a minute, you can do whatever you like." Ryan stood there quietly, his breath vast and full of oppression.
Adam twisted his neck and put on an offensive posture, with a momentum like a tiger, but to everyone's surprise, the next moment Adam turned his head and ran, a layer of blood light enveloped his body, and the speed was very fast.
"Your Excellency?" Calvin was momentarily dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked Ryan for instructions on his next step.
"It's okay, he's only got a minute anyway." Ryan was also very surprised, looking at Adam's menacing appearance, he thought that he was going to come up and fight him to the death, but who knew that it was a false shot.
This made Ryan even more interested in the mountain man boy.
A minute passed quickly, and Ryan's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and his figure ejected out in an instant, almost bringing out a series of afterimages at such a fast speed.
For Adam, Ryan is imperative this time!
On the other side, Adam, who had been running for a minute, had already reached a kilometer away, and he stopped in a hidden corner, sat on the ground and gasped for air.
The short-term burst of potential was extremely depleting to him, but the effect was very good, and he couldn't feel the breath of that person anymore.
"Ho... Ho, you're so strong, a fool fights with you, anyway, whatever you say in any way, I don't count this as cheating, if you have the ability to find me again, what if you win? ”
Adam had a smug smile on his weak face, and it was really exciting that he had played a master who was even more powerful than his father, as exciting as hunting for the first time.
"Goo-goo-goo"
Adam's stomach crumbled out of place, and a short outburst required a lot of energy and physical strength, and he could have lasted much longer if it weren't for the slave owner's severe restrictions on his diet.
"No, we have to find a place to get something to eat, and then find a chance to get out." Adam touched his stomach and was standing up against the wall next to him, when a sound suddenly made him fall into an ice cave.
"Follow me, you will never be short of food again, and you won't have to bother trying to find a way to get out."
Ryan didn't know when he appeared not far away, and his slender figure had an extremely strong sense of oppression, suppressing Adam in place.
"You...... How could you have found me so quickly, you must have moved a minute ago, you ......" Adam's face was full of disbelief, and he was about to say that Ryan was cheating, but before he could finish speaking, Ryan came to him like a ghost and forced his words back.
"To be a man, you have to learn to recognize the reality, a minute has passed, and you have lost." Ryan looked down at Adam, who had already sat back on the ground, his eyes as sharp as knives.
"I ...... I'm not full, and if I'm full, you won't be able to catch up with me. Adam sneered, sneering.
"Joke, even if you run out of town in a minute, I still have a way to catch you, is this how the Tei people treat their promises!" Ryan was losing his patience.
Adam's face was blue and white for a while, and finally collapsed to the ground in despair, the Tei people can die in battle, but they can't break their promises, he can just play clever and run away, but now he can't sophistry anymore, this is the self-esteem and pride of the Tei people.
"As long as I am fed, I will follow you." Adam's deplorable word.
"Heh, if you can eat me, that's also your ability, let's go."
Seeing that he was soft, Ryan finally showed a smile on his face, this is a fierce general!
From the beginning of the fight to Ryan's return after catching Adam, it took no more than a quarter of an hour to amaze Carven.
"What about the tour guide? Let's find a place where Adam can eat his heart. Ryan looked around and saw that the guide was gone.
"My lord, I'm here." As soon as the words fell, the tour guide walked out from the corner of the side, sneering with a smile on his face.
Ryan didn't pursue it either, and asked him to find the nearest restaurant to refuel Adam.
And for the first time, they also saw what it means to be able to eat. Adam alone ate a whole roasted whole sheep, plus a whole pork ribs, and the hind legs of a second-level demonic beast.
As a rough estimate, he ate almost half of his body weight, and dozens of adults ate as much as he did.
If it's an ordinary family, I'm afraid I really can't afford to raise such a big stomach, after all, that hind leg of the monster is not cheap.
Looking at the other party's stomach, which had barely changed much, Ryan was amazed, he had just learned that Adam was sixteen years old, from a small tribe, an orphan, and was captured by the slave team when he was out hunting.
His awakening supernatural ability is the last two years, and the preliminary estimate should be some kind of madness-type power, which can be activated at any time, greatly increasing his strength, speed, etc.
If it is placed on an ordinary battlefield, with his strong physique of nearly two meters, it is no different from a humanoid tank.
The only drawback is that he usually needs to consume a lot of blood qi, which means that he must eat a lot of meat every day, otherwise he will be very weak.
He was caught by the slave team because he was hungry, and this morning, after the slave owner gave him a little to eat, he broke through the restraints in an instant, and showed great strength, striking a junior knight with a single blow.
Ryan conservatively estimated that Adam, who is at his peak, may be very close to a high-level knight, and he has indeed picked up a treasure.
Seeing that Adam was finally full of food and drink, after Ryan paid the bill, several people walked towards the gladiatorial arena, which was Ryan's set goal, and Adam was completely surprised.
Along the way, Adam really kept his promise, and Ryan did whatever he asked him to do, and did not make any more small moves, which made Lord Ryan very pleased......
This open-air gladiatorial arena covers an unusually vast area, and the decoration style is very rough, with various skulls, teeth, weapons, etc. everywhere.
It is a circle as a whole, the stands are distributed in a stepped manner, enough to accommodate thousands of people at a time, and in the middle is a gladiatorial arena that is sunken down more than ten meters, and it is the size of a football field, full of dark red bloodstains.
Ryan found a very high position, and the entrance fee is not cheap, but it is worth the money, because every gladiatorial fight here is a powerful transcendent or a monster, and the scene is very exciting.
And even more so today, because today's finale is a life-and-death duel between a high-ranking mountain man knight and a fourth-level gnoll.
Many people came to fill almost every corner of the stands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the scene is crowded, if it weren't for Ryan's aristocratic status, he might not even be able to enter the door so late.
"There are actually fourth-level gnolls here, it's really powerful." Ryan looked at the gray gnolls below who were locked in a special cage, and was a little surprised.
The gnolls are also a member of the race, walking upright, able to use tools, with hyena-like heads and thick hair, bloodthirsty and furious.
They usually haunt groups at night, plundering villages, towns, biological stations, etc.
Jackals are rarely seen in the south, but they are often seen in the west, annoying the local lords and often organizing large-scale encirclements.
It is difficult for a gnoll to give birth to a powerful individual, and the fourth level is even rarer, which is why Ryan is so surprised.
"My lord, the gnoll below, codenamed Bloodfang, has been surviving in this gladiatorial arena for several years, killing three powerhouses of the same level, very powerful, and is the favorite to win the championship today.
The mountain man he was fighting against was named Kulechi, who was said to be the chief of a large tribe that was shattered by the combined attack of the slave catchers, and he stayed behind and was finally arrested by exhaustion.
The guy was very uncooperative, but the owner promised that as long as he could defeat Bloodfang, he would let him go, so he willingly participated in this gladiatorial fight.
However, few people present were optimistic about him, after all, his opponent was Bloodfang, who had been winning streaks until now. ”
The tour guide was very conscientious to introduce the information of both sides to Ryan, and following his gaze, Ryan also saw the mountain man named Kuleqi.
It is indeed a real high-level knight, but his aura is a little sluggish, and he is obviously not in good shape. On the other hand, the jackal man is majestic and energetic.
In this way, Kulech really doesn't have much chance of winning, unless a miracle happens.
"Hmph, the Tey warriors will win!" Archie stared at the audience and said loudly.
Kavin on the side pouted secretly, the mountain people here are all losers.
Soon it was time to begin.
With a command, the special metal cages holding the mountain people and the gnolls were opened, neither of them wearing any armor, Kulech had a battle axe, and Bloodfang was a bloodshot mace.
As soon as the two sides appeared, the majestic momentum swept the entire gladiatorial arena, and the atmosphere of the audience was instantly detonated, and the fanatical shouts almost broke people's eardrums.
"Bloody Fang, shred him!" A gorgeously dressed nobleman in the front row slapped his thigh and roared excitedly.
"Dig out his heart."
"Crush his head."
……
The shouts and cheers were surging like a sea of mountains, almost one-sided in support of the blood teeth, every gladiatorial battle had a handicap, and the vast majority of people present pressed the blood teeth to win.
The enthusiasm of the audience did not affect the two protagonists present, who confronted each other from afar with weapons in hand, each looking for the other's weaknesses.
In the end, the gnolls ended the meaningless temptation, and blasted towards Kulechi like a cannonball with a mace in his hand, which was full of blood, giving people the illusion of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The gnoll arrived in an instant, its scarlet eyes glinting with bloodthirsty light, and slammed it down on Kuleqi's head.
Kuleqi's footsteps quickly changed, and he flashed two meters away, and the bloodfang's mace smashed to the ground, and for a moment the dust flew up.
Seeing that the blow could not be achieved, the bloodfang swept through the thousands of troops, and the mace in his hand roared and tore through the air and struck Kuleqi's waist.
The blow came quickly and hard, and Kulech had to resist it with his tomahawk.
"Bell"
The sound of the crash was like a bell, and the powerful force stirred up a cloud of smoke and dust, and a figure flew upside down amid the exclamations of the people...... (End of chapter)
