Boom, boom, heavy chains dragged on the rocky floor with a screeching sound. Even if the sound was so uncomfortable, no one stopped it. Xiao Yunfan hated this voice very much, although he protested, but the man did not pay any attention to him.

The long corridor is dark and damp. The rotten musty smell came from nowhere, although it smelled disgusting, but for Xiao Yunfan, it seemed that he could only choose to endure it. Because no one cares how he feels.

The walls on both sides of the corridor are hard and cold granite, carved with strange patterns of fierce beasts, and the hideous expression of grinding teeth and sucking blood can be described as lifelike. In addition to these reliefs, every ten steps on the wall, there is a niche. Inside the shrine is a bone lamp, and the wick scatters a blue-white light, which always gives people a sense of hell.

Xiao Yunfan was led by an iron chain like this, like a tamed dog. Although there was a hint of reluctance in his heart, he did not resist. Walking in front of him was a tall, powerful man.

The man was naked, with iron rings on his arms, python tattoos on his chest and back, and leather shorts around his waist. It's not that Xiao Yunfan walked behind this person and couldn't see his face clearly, but this person

He himself wore a helmet, and the helmet was trimmed with a visor. From the very beginning, he didn't see the man's face clearly.

The other party's helmet form is also very special, with two horns showing from the left and right ends of the top of the head, and from the back, it looks like a youkai who has cultivated into an adult. The two of them came one after the other to an iron gate. The strong man sat down slowly with his back against the wall. Then he stretched out his long-haired palm and pinched out a few dried leaves from a small cloth bag around his waist, put them in his mouth and chewed them.

Xiao Yunfan looked at him and said strangely: "Hey, big man, what are you eating?" The man said coldly: "It doesn't matter about you." He didn't quite understand how humble a slave like him was. Although the strong man in front of him was also a slave, he was one level higher than him, and he was the most humble of all the slaves, called ants.

Xiao Yunfan saw that the other party ignored him, and cheekily accosted others: "Hey, big man." When I came, someone said that I was going to play against Purple Swallow tonight, do you know who Purple Swallow is? Is it a man or a woman?

After hearing him say this, the big man was stunned at first. Then he said lightly: "Are you sure you are going to fight against her?" Xiao Yunfan secretly wondered, just the other party ignored his love, but as soon as he said this purple swallow, the other party became abnormal.

Dahan first grabbed a handful of dried leaves and stuffed them into Xiao Yunfan's hand. Then he said, "Take care, man. Xiao Yunfan saw that the other party gave him some of the dried leaves, his face was quite face-saving, and he hurriedly asked, "You didn't talk to me along the way, why did you start ignoring me when I mentioned Purple Swallow?"

The big man said in a deep voice: "Because you will die soon, for a slave who is about to die, I can still fulfill your meager wishes." ”

There are four forces in the Dark City, and usually these four forces stay on their own turf, and they will only meet during this "Fire and Rain Festival". This rule was set by the master of the Dark City, and although the four great powers were arrogant, they were in awe of the master of the underground city-state. Without the existence of this person, there would be no them.

The four major forces are Rose Mountain Villa, Huiyan City, Wanwu Castle, and Wind Demon Palace.

The owner of Rose Hill, Songxi, was a Siamese who mainly engaged in the spice and wind moon business, the owner of Pyrhode Castle, Lei Huang, a Persian Hu, mainly engaged in the jewelry and wine business, Charlie the Franco man of Wanwu Castle was in the firearms and ship business (the Franc machine was the name given to Portugal in the Ming Dynasty), and Otsuka Injiro of the Wind Demon Temple was in the business of smuggling salt and calligraphy and painting.

The "Fire and Rain Festival" is a festival that lasts from March to July, when the four powers of the Dark City meet each other, and at this time, the four lords will bring out their best things to attract customers. Beauty, wine, treasures, all the good things that exist in this world can be seen in the "Fire and Rain Festival".

The grand occasion is still in this life and death arena, and the four major lords have also collected all kinds of characters to compete in this competition. In addition to the Lords, the Dark City will also invite some special patrons as guests to watch the tournament.

Ling Taixu handed over the task of seizing the book to Su Changmao, and due to the shortage of fuel resin for the Demon God Ship, Su Changmao also had to come to this dark capital to trade fuel. The Demon God Ship is Charlie's masterpiece, and it seems that only Charlie has stockpiling in the entire Ming Dynasty. It is not so much that Su Changmao's arrival is Charlie's invitation, but that he is controlled by others.

Eight strong men carry a large drum, and a woman wearing a feather mask and a gauze dress stands on the drum and dances. Her soft waist swayed back and forth like a wicker. She stood on tiptoe and danced on the drum, only to see the ribbons wrapped around her arms flying up and down like two red clouds, which was extremely beautiful. 1234

The four lords sat in their respective positions, their eyes all fixed on tonight's grand event. After the dancer finished dancing, there was another group of acrobatic performers, only to see a man climbing and jumping barefoot on a ladder made of steel knives, and then someone performed tricks such as breathing fire, walking barefoot and charcoal, boiling oil and washing hands.

After some commotion, several masked men threw torches into a large stone altar, which burst into flames. The flames burst out from the center to the periphery, and with a snorting sound, they rained down on the lampposts in the circular square like meteors.

Su Changmao originally planned to make a deal with Charlie before he could set off. But when the other party was kindly invited, he had to stay to watch the ring competition. A gong sounded, and a man with knotted muscles shouted, "The fight of life and death begins now!"

Two iron doors opened, and two slaves stepped out of them. One of them had a dark face and a burly body, and the other was skinny and small. Charlie picked up the silver wine bottle and said to Su Changmao in fluent Chinese: "Mr. Su, do you see which of these two will win, why don't we bet a hundred gold baht?" Su Changmao picked up a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the field and said, "I'll bet on that thin man." ”

Charlie said, "Okay! Then we'll see." As he spoke, he also picked up a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the center of the field. There were thirty-two participants that night, according to the slaves declared by the four lords, and the maximum number of matches that night was eight, the first four were played by Kozuka Injiro's slave against Charlie's slave, and the last four by Madame Rose's people against the people of the Thunder Emperor.

The tall man in this first scene was bought by Charlie with a lot of money, called Strongmaru. This person can kill a cow with a single punch. And the skinny man is called Jia Fei, but he practices soft skills. The two of them fought with a fatal move, and the Mighty Pill fist was as big as a bowl and covered with calluses. Every punch he punched was carried with ten thousand pounds. Jia Fei didn't dare to take it hard, so he had to jump left and right.

Dalimaru hugged his hands forward, wanting to hold Jia Fei and crush the bones around the opponent with the power of a brute bull. Na Jia Fei was not fooled, his feet were on the ground a little, and he suddenly jumped to the opponent's shoulder, and slapped the opponent's top door with one palm. It turned out that there was a steel needle between his fingers. Mighty roared wildly, trying to rip the other man off his shoulder. However, Jia Fei's body was like a loach, slippery and did not leave his hands.

He went down with this needle and hit the opponent's Baihui acupoint. Pill's huge body fell backwards with a thud, and Jia Fei kicked his feet in the opponent's chest and flew out upside down. The audience burst into applause.

Xiao Yunfan stood in the iron fence and looked at the scene in front of him, and he asked the big man: "Isn't it a foul for that thin man to hurt people with a hidden weapon?"

Dahan said: "No, as long as you knock the other party down, you can do whatever it takes." Xiao Yunfan sighed and said, "Then what's the difference between such a fight and a beast's bite?" The big man said: "You are slaves, and you are not as good as beasts. Xiao Yunfan looked at the shackles on his body and smiled bitterly: "Can't the fate of slaves be in their own hands?"

Dahan said: "In the past, there may have been slaves who could do it, but now I'm afraid it's difficult. Xiao Yunfan said: "Why?" Dahan said: "Because there are few ways to become an adult from a slave." Those slaves who have become masters will naturally not have more people to become themselves. ”

Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "I understand what you mean." Those who have been slaves do not want to be slaves anymore, and those who have become masters have to prevent slaves from becoming masters again. Then their power would be weakened. Dahan said: "You seem to understand very well, but it's a pity that you can't change your fate." ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "Then I have to try." You used to be a Class C slave and are now a Class B slave. It can be seen that Grade C can be upgraded to Grade B. I think with my skills, I should be able to make a first-class class. The big man laughed and said, "You...... You're a dying person, and you're still talking these big things?"

Xiao Yunfan ignored him, just chewing on the mint leaf. A slight bitterness was cool, as if something in his body had been revived, and he grabbed the railing and looked out.

In the tent on the north side, Su Changmao looked at the wooden plate with the gold baht, and said with a smile: "Mr. Charlie, I don't want this gold baht." If you can sell me more stone grease every time, I will be happier than if you have won this golden baht. ”

Charlie blinked and shook his head, "Then I really can't blame me, Mr. Su." This thing is already difficult to mine, and the production is very small. Besides, our master also has a limit on transactions, even if I want to sell you more, but it is not allowed. Su Changmao took a sip of wine and said helplessly: "That's really a pity." ”

Although the Francos only lost one game, they won the next few games. Soon it was time for the Lady of Rose to fight against the Thunder Emperor's people. In a burst of cheers, the young man named Ah Long walked into the ring with a spear in his hand.

In the southern tent, Madame Rose, wearing a black veil, also picked up a clairvoyant mirror and looked into the field. She whispered, "Good luck, Aaron." If you die, I don't lose a little baht. When that time comes, I swear, I will definitely feed those wild dogs with your meat. You, better not let me down. ”

At the sound of the gong, Aaron's spear flicked, and he fought with the boar king's twin swords.
