Volume 1 Dragon's Breath Mountains Chapter 23 The Arena of Death
"Hey, man, the Colosseum is going to open soon. The two men were chatting shoulder to shoulder in the tavern.
"No, I'll be on duty later. A man shook his head. He was a member of Councilor Sima's family, and he had to be on duty every day, sometimes standing guard, sometimes patrolling.
Councillor Sima's family was mainly responsible for the security of the town, and on weekdays, the shops in the town, the stalls on the streets, and the caravans that came and went had to pay them a fee.
"My poor friend, you missed a good show, and today is the day of a duel to the death. ”
"God willing, be taken by a little while you stand guard. The companion laughed and left.
"Haru, you have to be careful, don't lose back the two gold coins you won yesterday. After all, with your IQ, you're a little smarter than a grass pig without me. The man sitting in the tavern also laughed and scolded back.
"Uncle, what is a death duel?" asked Xixi, who was listening curiously next to her.
The man glanced at the young man at the next table and said, "Duel to death...... Hehe, our gladiatorial arena is held every half a month. Unlike the usual entertainment duels, the winner of the death duel lives, and the loser dies. ”
The man took a big sip of beer, he looked at the four foreign rookies, who were looking at him with a blank eye, and continued with a smile: "There are three kinds of death duels, one is the duel between people and people, one is the duel between beasts and beasts, and the last is the duel between people and beasts. ”
"Ahh
"What's so cruel about this, none of the people in our town were killed from the rain of blood. ”
"The people involved in the duel are basically guys who have committed crimes in the town, or adventurers who have secretly gone up the mountain without passing through our Dragon's Breath Town. There's nothing to talk about when you meet this kind of person, just catch them and send them to the gladiatorial arena. ”
"Young man, don't break the rules here, or maybe next time, I'll see you in the dueling arena. ”
Seeing that the faces of the four rookies were frightened, Dahan satisfied the bad taste in his heart: "But there are also some gladiators who go in voluntarily, and they will get a lot of gold coins for every victory, that kind of person is a madman who wants money and doesn't want to die." ”
......
After Dahan left, many people went out of the tavern one after another, looking at the direction of the gladiatorial arena.
"Roque, let's go check it out too!" Xisi felt cruel before, but she couldn't help but want to take a look.
Roque was a little hesitant, he also wanted to see it. But the advice of the female waiter in the Adventurer's Guild before kept him in a shadow.
"Brother Roque......" Xisi saw the captain's hesitation, so she took his arm and coquettishly.
"There are so many people outside, there will be no danger, you see, it's still early after dark, let's come back before dark!"
"Well, Ding, Lando, what do you two mean?"
"Listen to the captain. ”
"Let's go and take a look, we finally came to Longxi Town once, and when we meet Huba and them in the future, we can still brag about it." ”
...
Entrance to the Colosseum
"The entrance fee is 25 silver coins per person. ”
"Okay, that's the cost for the four of us. Roque took out a gold coin in distress.
There are three types of common currencies in the Shen'an Continent, elemental coins, gold coins, and silver coins.
Silver coins are the lowest, 1 gold coin can be exchanged for 100 silver coins.
Elemental coins, on the other hand, are rare currencies and are rarely traded. The lowest value is the Flame Coins, one Flame Coin equals ten gold coins.
In addition to being able to purchase items, the greatest use of elemental coins is that they can be used for cultivation and enhance the elements in the body.
Elemental Coins can also be used for summoning, or other purposes.
Powerful heterogeneous creatures rarely help you for no reason, the two sides are a kind of transaction, and elemental coins can also be counted as rewards.
At the entrance of the Colosseum, there is a market opened by the banker, which displays information about the two sides of the eighteen matches, and you can choose one side to bet on.
"Wow......" As soon as she entered the gladiatorial arena, Xisi couldn't help but let out a low sigh.
......
It was an open-air gladiatorial arena that could accommodate more than 2,000 spectators, and more than half of the audience was already full.
"Kill him, kill him, kill him......"
"King Kong, King Kong, King Kong......"
The deafening shouts, like waves of the sea, kept beating the four of Roque!
...
The gladiatorial arena battle below has begun, and this is the first battle and the opening ceremony.
Both sides of the battle are human.
One of the humans, he was tall and muscular as steel.
The other was a fierce gladiator, panting around his opponent.
The gladiators were all shirtless and wore only shorts.
"King Kong, King Kong! Kill him, kill him!"
All around was the shouts of the audience.
The battle below has entered a fever pitch, with neither side left with weapons. King Kong, as the signature gladiator of the gladiatorial arena, has a wealth of combat experience, and he has the upper hand at this time.
As soon as Xisi and the others came in, the first picture they saw was that the steel giant grabbed the opponent's flaw and knocked the opponent back with a shoulder collision. Then he strode over, grabbing his opponent with both hands and lifting him up.
King Kong held the fierce-faced man in both hands and showed it to the audience around him.
He roared at the audience, roaring like a beast.
"King Kong!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
All the spectators shouted frantically, and some ladies and gentlemen kept throwing gold coins at the gladiatorial arena.
"Roar!"
King Kong roared angrily, and his opponent, who was held aloft by him, was suddenly pulled down by him, and at the same time he raised his knees.
With a click, the opponent broke in two.
King Kong threw his deformed opponent down, clenched his hands into fists, and roared in all directions.
The ladies did not hesitate to praise them, and at the moment of their opponent's death, they screamed with excitement.
In fact, among the more than 1,000 spectators, less than one-tenth of the locals in Longxi Town are located. They rarely come to the Colosseum and think it's boring.
Some of these spectators are adventurers, and some are members of underground forces similar to Olli. But more often than not, these ladies and gentlemen who had come from other towns. These noble ladies come to Dragon's Breath every half a month to watch a death duel, and they are more familiar with this place than the locals here.
"The first battle is over, winner, King Kong!"
The person in charge of the gladiatorial arena was satisfied, and the first duel succeeded in arousing the emotions of the audience.
"Now for the second gladiator!"
"On the human side, it's a warrior from the Karak tribe, Red Horn. ”
"And his opponent is the fierce and mighty saber-toothed wolf!"
The ladies screamed in agreement.
...
A hairy savage, topless and with his hands chained, stepped into the arena step by step, driven by the colosseum personnel.
An iron cage slowly landed on the field, and a saber-toothed wolf whined in the cage. Its turquoise wolf eyes, staring at the long-haired wildling.
The moment the iron cage was opened, the saber-toothed wolf immediately crashed out.
It revolves around the red horns, and a pair of wolf eyes keep staring at each other.
The hairy savage was barefoot, and he shook his chains, threatening the saber-toothed wolf. Not only did he have no weapons, but his hands were also chained, which greatly affected the battle.
After three laps around his opponent, the saber-toothed wolf seemed to notice his opponent's weakness and pounced on him.
Red Horn hurriedly avoided it, and he spread the chains on his hands and strangled towards the wolf's head.
But his speed was too slow compared to the saber-toothed wolf, and before he could reach for it, he was put on a chain by the giant wolf.
The saber-toothed wolf's huge body, with the impact of the slamming, staggered the red horn belt.
The wolf's body adjusts in the air, and the moment it lands, it launches another deadly attack.
Red Horn's body was not stable at this time, and in the face of the giant wolf's attack, he could only avoid his head in panic and wave his arms wildly.
But what he faced was the cruel turquoise eyes of the saber-toothed wolf.
The giant wolf had rushed to his side, opened its fangs and bit at his neck.
The wolf's mouth snapped, and with a flick of the wolf's head, he bit off his throat.
