Days pass by day.

Li Ba and his companions, or inmates, seized all the time to train and prepare for their trip to the Grosse Arena.

In the first few days, he was worried that his inmates would not be able to form a tacit understanding in a short period of time, so he urged training strictly for more than ten hours a day. Later, his companions could already cooperate tacitly, but he was reluctant to get news of going to the arena.

The two jailers patted their chests and promised that within ten days, Li Ba and the others would definitely arrange for the Grosse Stadium. Who would have thought that eleven days have passed and there is still no news.

Li Ba was a little anxious about this.

When the prisoner delivered meals every day, Li Ba asked Gavey to ask about the situation and the answer he received was, "The Ross Chamber of Commerce has not come to the prison to ask for people, it is probably soon, it's only these two days!"

Two days?

Li Ba touched his hairy head, and a wry smile appeared on his face. He was really worried that the two prisoners would just take money and disrupt their established plans.

Fortunately, two days later, I finally got the exact news.

Tomorrow! The Ross Chamber of Commerce will come to the prison to ask for people tomorrow morning!

The prison guards came over. They had already arranged the arrangements and all the twenty prisoners were selected in Li Ba's cell.

This is indeed good news!

The big stone hanging in his heart finally dropped. Li Ba sighed and felt much more relaxed.

After learning the news, the other prisoners in the cell responded differently. Dad Clark looked calm, and Arquette seemed to be nothing like this. Garvey and Babu looked sad and angry, as if they were going to die tomorrow.

Some prisoners also showed a fearful expression on their faces. Li Ba knew what they thought. People were afraid of death. At the critical moment, it was impossible to say that there was no burden in their hearts.

In response to this, Li Ba once again delivered an inspiring speech to cheer for the inmates.

It was night. The moonlight was like water, quiet and peaceful.

Tomorrow is the day to go to the Colosse Arena. If it were so late at night, I would have snored like thunder. Tonight, many prisoners in the cell toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep.

"Liba!" Clark's voice came.

Li Ba turned around and saw the old man facing him sideways, groping in his chest with thin hands, as if he was about to take out something. After a long time, he took out a neatly stacked gray cloth and handed it over tremblingly.

"Dad. This is..." Li Ba hesitated for a moment and did not reach out to pick it up.

"I have something to bother you!" Clark smiled. Through the faint moonlight, Li Ba clearly saw the old man's face full of vicissitudes of time.

The old man asked Li Ba to ask Li Ba very simple. If he dies in the arena tomorrow, I hope Li Ba can give this thing to his relatives.

"Don't worry, with me here, there will be no trouble!" Li Ba did not respond and comforted him with kind words. How could he not hear that the old man was arranging his funeral.

"Of course I can trust you!"

Clark smiled and stuffed the gray cloth into Li Ba's hands. He said, "This thing is very important! If I lose my old bones when I go on the court, that's not good... You can keep it for me first, and then hand it over to me until the game is over!"

After saying that, he also told Li Ba that he had a place name and a person name.

Li Ba was very clear in his heart. After thinking about it, he didn't say much, and took the gray cloth. At the same time, he comforted him and made a promise: "Dad, don't worry, I'm on the arena. As long as I'm here, you won't be hurt at all!"

"Good boy, I understand what you want!"

Dad Clark patted Li Ba's hand and said in a low tone: "When you go to the arena, don't have any distractions. Your only thought can only protect your life. Dad has lived for most of his life, enough, and he doesn't need you to take care of him, and he doesn't want to be a burden to you."

"Dad..."

Li Ba was still trying to say something, but saw Dad Clark shook his hand, interrupting him, and said with a smile: "Sleep, nourish your energy, and you will have to work hard tomorrow!"

The old man lay down again. Soon, a rhythmic snoring sounded. Li Ba felt touched and could not sleep.

Bang-

In the early morning, the heavy sound of the iron gate sounded.

The prisoners who had already woken up all looked nervous, and they got up and stood against the wall, waiting for the time to decide their destiny to come. Today, even Arquette, who had always stood up slowly, stood against the wall with a heavy face. This man as strong as a lion, stood up more than two meters high, one head taller than Li Ba.

Li Ba also looked solemn. For him, whether he can get out of trouble depends on today.

The iron gate was opened with a bang. A small team of twenty prisoners were slapped with long swords on their waists, shackles on their hands, and fully armed with them to squeeze into the small and dirty cell. The two prisoners responsible for delivering food to Li Ba and the others were also among them. The bearded prisoner looked fiercely, glanced at the prisoner standing against the wall, and opened his throat and said loudly: "You pigs have heard it clearly. Those who called their names walked to the door one by one!"

Then, the first person he called out was Garvey. Garvey looked a little nervous and walked to the iron gate. An immediately a prison guard walked up to him, locked Gavey's legs and ankles with shackles, and then carried him out of the cell.

"Ronal, Bab... Clark... Dawn..."

Liming is Li Ba. He obtained a pseudonym for himself to avoid being seen through by those with ambition.

When the bearded jailer shouted out Li Ba's name, seventeen prisoners had been taken out of the cell, and he was the eighteenth. When he arrived at the door, like his companion who went out first, a jailer came over and put his shackles on him and then took him out.

Walking out of the cell, Li Ba finally saw the long-lost blue sky and white clouds. After leaving the cell iron gate, there was a small yard outside, which was not large in area, only about ten square meters. Standing in the yard, you can see the blue sky when you look up. The sunshine of Hexi shines through the clouds and shines on Li Ba, making him feel indescribable warmth.

Squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, Li Ba took a deep breath and felt this long-lost breath of freedom.

"You yellow pig, why are you stunned! Go quickly!"

Behind him, the jailer shouted. Li Ba was pushed out of the yard by a big hand, and he cursed in his heart. You bastards are the pigs who have no assholes for giving birth to a son!

When he walked out of the yard, there were many buildings around him, and there was a stone road running east and west under his feet. Li Ba glanced at him and saw his companion who had come out earlier walking east along the stone road. Before he could wait for the jailer who was raised by the bitch behind him to open his mouth, he dragged his heavy shackles. "Chala Zhala" followed them after him.

The shackles on the feet don't look very thick, but they are very heavy, afraid they are not as heavy as more than thirty pounds, and they are dark, and I don't know what metal is made of. It's not convenient to wear this thing on your feet.

Li Ba estimated in his heart that with his current state, this pair of shackles would affect at least one quarter of the speed. The Yuanhun talisman cannot be used, and he can only rely on his only physical strength. If the speed is affected, his strength will undoubtedly be weakened accordingly.

These are all things that cannot be done. To put it in an old saying, "You are the slaughter and the meat of fish." All your life is in the hands of others, and do you still want to be treated fairly?

Following the stone path, Li Ba speeded up and quickly followed the team in front. Behind him, two prisoners were also taken out, and Aquette was one of them. Now, the twenty prisoners who signed up for their cell to go to the arena were all taken out.

Twenty prisoners, plus more than twenty fully armed prisoners. The team was walking on the stone road. Through more than a dozen buildings, they came to a wide square.

Along the way, Li Ba had already seen two carriages parked in the square. Specifically, they should be two cage cars. The tall cages, with two monsters that look like camels but have no hump, are combined together to create this unique cage car.

This monster, which looks like a camel and is covered with blue scales, is called Camel Horse. It is a mutant beast unique to the Western continent. It has infinite power and gentle temperament. It can be raised and tamed manually, used to carry living creatures, or equipped with cavalry, and its purpose is comparable to war horses.

In the Western continent, there are businesses that specialize in hunting and domesticating camels and horses. A good camel and horse is of great value. Generally, only military cavalry or rich nobles are capable of equipment.

Next to the cage car, there were six or seven people standing. Two of them were Li Ba's old acquaintances. One was the warden of Barrag Prison, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing leather armor. The other was a gray-robed magician who put a "slave ring" on Li Ba's, and his name seemed to be Neil.

As for the other guys, wearing luxurious and gorgeous robes, if nothing unexpected happens, they should be the owner of the Grosse Arena and the Ross Chamber of Commerce.

At the jailer's order, Li Ba and his companions were taken to the cage car and stood in line. Then, the bearded jailer walked forward with a smile on his face and reported the situation to the warden. After hearing this, the warden waved his hand, and the bearded jailer immediately retreated aside.

"Mr. Anthony, all twenty prisoners are all. You can count them!" The warden said with a smile to a bald man in his fifties beside him.

The bald man, whom he called Anthony, squinted his eyes and looked at the prisoners standing in front of him, swept from left to right, his eyes paused on Li Ba, and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that there was an Oriental among these prisoners?"

"Oh, he is the spy captured by the City Guard... However, after I interrogated Mr. Neil and I, this guy should not be a spy. As for why he was sent to Barrag Prison by the City Guard as a spy, I have to ask Commander Jayne!" When he said this, the warden showed a mocking look on his face, and he seemed very disdainful.

"The City Lord is clearly rewarded and punished. Commander Jayne will receive a reward of 100 gold coins by catching an Eastern spy. Under the temptation of the shiny gold coins, Jayne will not care whether this guy is a spy. He just throws the person to you, the Warden, and turns around and asks for merit to receive the reward, haha..." The bald man named Anthony laughed with his belly.

From the conversation between the two, Li Ba heard some clues. Damn, I didn’t expect that he was so valuable. No wonder those miscellaneous people that day sent him to this ghost place indiscriminately!

The resentment in my heart has no effect at all. Now it’s time to do it. I’ll face the reality and cheer up to deal with the upcoming battle of life and death.

"It's getting late. Today, the competition was arranged in the arena, and we are waiting to hire people... The warden, we are still the same rule. A prisoner has two gold coins. There are forty gold coins here. You can count it!"

Anthony took out a purse and handed it to the warden. The latter took the purse, his eyes shining, his face was full of greed, and he counted it carefully, and then said, "Dear Mr. Anthony, the quality of my prisoners is much better than the previous batches. You see, there are not only Orientals, but also a barbarian. Having two of them participating in the event will add a lot of eye-catching hot spots to the audience. The income of your chamber of commerce will definitely increase... The price is, can you add more points?"

After hearing this, Anthony frowned first, then his eyes fell on Arquette. After looking at him for a long time, he nodded and said, "Yes, there is another barbarian. If the Warden had not mentioned it, I would have almost missed it. So, since the Warden spoke, I would add five more gold coins. What do you think?"

"The five gold coins are too few, not enough. I'll invite my brothers to have a drink. Dear Mr. Anthony, you should add at least twenty gold coins!"

"Oh, this does not fit in with the contract we signed in advance..."

The two guys bargained. In the end, the bald old man Anthony gave him ten more gold coins, and the warden was satisfied and had a smile like a chrysanthemum on his face.

"Happy cooperation!" The two guys shook their hands with a smile. Then, the warden looked at Master Neil standing beside him. Without waiting for him to speak, the latter took out a string of small iron pieces similar to keys and handed them to Anthony.

After Anthony took it with his right hand, he took the opportunity to perform a noble ceremony to Master Neil, and said respectfully: "There is Master Lawneil!"

Neil nodded, smiling and silent.

The transaction ended. Anthony gave an order, and several subordinates next to him immediately opened the cage doors on the two cage cars. After the jailer ordered him to drive them away, Li Ba and his group of twenty prisoners got on the cage car. The cage looked quite big, but after about ten people entered, they still felt very crowded. The people in the Ross Chamber of Commerce put down the black curtains on the cage, and the prisoners inside immediately fell into darkness.

About a few minutes later, Li Ba heard a few strange "moo" sounds from outside, and then the cage car under him began to move.

The cage car space is small, covered with black curtains around it, tight and there is no light at all. The people inside feel like they are locked into a box, feeling depressed and unable to breathe.

The breathing of the companions around me, the nervous heartbeat, and the squeaking sound of the wheels turning were particularly harsh at this moment. In the narrow space, the atmosphere was very dull, and no one spoke, as if he was waiting quietly to determine his destiny that moment would come!
