[Today’s first update, as the New Year is approaching and people come and go frequently, please bear with me if the update is slow or missing. The update is the fastest. I wish you all the best in everything you wish for.]
Get out of the elevator and walk along the corridor covered with Persian carpets until you reach the door. After Said showed his VIP card, the door opened, and the most luxurious underground gold-selling cave in the Middle East was officially opened to the public.
Li Huqiu showed off the peerless luxury inside. At the entrance of the splendid hall, two gold-inlaid elephant sculptures stood there. Li Huqiu discovered at a glance that the teeth of these two stupid guys were made of real ivory, crystal clear and white.
It is so huge that you can imagine how tall and strong the owner of this pair of teeth was when he was alive.
The hall is more than ten meters high, with huge golden chandeliers hanging from it. The walls are inlaid with pure gold Qurans and exquisite wall decorations. The decoration in the hall is very simple. The Persian carpets of camel hair are painted with Arabian mythology stories.
There are several sets of large sofas and several huge fish tanks on it. They are illuminated by artificial ultraviolet lights and various fish are swimming in them. Some fish tanks even contain sharks.
Next to the reception counter in the lobby, there are more than a dozen elevator doors lined up in a row. Said, who knows his way around, introduced that each of the more than a dozen elevator doors leads to a paradise.
See what the guests need.
Li Huqiu and the other three followed Said into one of the doors. The elevator was an exclusive passage, and they came to one place without stopping. The moment the door opened, Li Huqiu almost mistakenly thought that he had arrived at the Battle of Ancient Rome.
Everything in front of you in the Colosseum is modeled after the ancient Roman Colosseum. When you walk past the elevator exit, you will see that the round building in front of you is made of strips of stone. A simple and dilapidated atmosphere hits your face.
It seemed to be mixed with blood and wildness. The Thief King took two deep breaths and said to Said: "It seems that people die often in this place." Sophie also nodded and said, "What a fanatical smell."
Said said: "This is not only a place where performers fight with beasts, but also a stage for martial arts masters from all over the world to compete. The King of Fighters Competition is held all year round, and a champion is produced every year and is awarded the title of King of Martial Arts.
Whether it’s underground fighting or fighting between humans and animals, accidents often happen.”
This place is a partnership between the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates and Ahmed Jassim. The shareholders who secretly participate in the cooperation include major gang organizations in the world. Gao Chufeng is the third largest secret shareholder. The only ones ahead of her are the Mafia and Hongmen.
.The so-called existence is reasonable. With the power of the two crown princes here, this place is definitely beyond the reach of the light of law. Li Huqiu looked up at the huge space in the belly of the mountain, and the blurry mountain walls behind the incandescent halo.
Like a dark cover, blocking the sky and sunshine. I asked casually: "Are there any conditions required to sign up for this King of Fighters competition?"
Said nodded: "There will be a machine to test the striking power. Applicants only need to pass the test of that machine and then sign a life and death document before they can participate." He asked back: "What? Mr. Li also likes this?"
Sophie was Li Huqiu's translator, but this time she went over her shoulder and said, "Mr. Li is a master of martial arts." Li Huqiu asked Shen Yang, "What did she say?" Shenyang said Said asked you if you like boxing matches? Su
Fei says you can fight.
"It is impossible for people like Mr. Li to participate in the competition no matter how skilled they are, but you can send boxers to participate." Said introduced with interest: "There are two forms of participation. You can choose the path of promotion in a formal competition, or you can
Play a challenge game selectively. First, defeat your competitors to qualify for the challenge. Then you can challenge the opponents you want to challenge. Every year, this arena will determine the sixteen strongest players at the beginning of the year. These sixteen strongest players will compete in the competition.
Before the finals throughout the year, they will accept challenges at any time. If they lose, the person who defeated him or the strongest person selected from the top 32 who advanced to the main game will take over the loser's position and challenge these sixteen people.
It is conditional, in addition to signing a life and death document, you must also defeat a certain number of challenge opponents to qualify for the challenge."
Walking into the arena, Li Huqiu found that there were not many seats around it. Outside of the scattered seats, there were more small VIP rooms with dome structures. The VIPs could hardly see each other. In the middle of the arena
It is a steel beast cage more than ten meters high, with an area of only two to three thousand square meters. The flat stone floor in the middle is stained with blood. From this point alone, it is not difficult to imagine how many bloody killings this venue has witnessed.
Said led them into a box and introduced him as a landlord: "Jasim doesn't like to be disturbed when watching the game. It's never a good time to visit at this time, but don't worry, his boxer is a
The boxer from the Democratic Republic of the Congo is extremely powerful and proficient in boxing and Muay Thai techniques. He has not lost for more than two years in a row. There is still some time before the boxing match begins. What you are about to see is a show of wrestling between man and beast.
There was a good show at the beginning. I saw a Bengal tiger being put into a fighting cage. The guy was very excited. After rushing into the cage, he circled around anxiously. From time to time, he rushed to the management staff outside the iron gate and roared for battle. Sharp.
The teeth shone coldly in the light.
Shen Yang looked at the big cat in the cage and praised: "It's really wild. Does anyone want to fight with it?" Sophie frowned slightly and said: "It's too barbaric. Only royal countries like the Middle East can tolerate it.
This kind of thing." Li Huqiu laughed and said: "Americans use aircraft and cannons to kill people, and animals use fangs and claws to kill people. The difference is that you Americans do wholesale, and animals do retail." Sophie wanted to
There was no way to argue and I was speechless for a while.
Said smiled slightly: "Most of the animals here are bought from India and Africa at high prices. Someone will indeed fight with this beast soon. There are gladiators from everywhere, including Kurds, Turks, and even Russian Chinese.
, they are all people who live without fear of death, have strength and are not afraid of death. Each person is given a dagger, locked in this cage, and fights with the animals inside. Sometimes there are white bears, sometimes there are male lions, and there are even animals.
Giant pythons and Siberian tigers, you can see the Bengal tiger in the first game today, and I guess the next three games will definitely be more exciting, maybe a giant crocodile or anaconda will appear."
Li Huqiu asked: "Are all the contestants carnivores?"
Said shook his head and said: "Of course not. There are many big animals among herbivores. Once provoked, they are more terrifying than carnivores, such as elephants, rhinos, or hippopotamuses. Such giant beasts are almost invincible. There is no such thing as
Ordinary gladiators dare to fight with them. If someone is willing to pay, they can order some martial emperor-level masters to fight against such animals. Since Mr. Li is interested, I will order one for you to enjoy."
Sophie translated the original words of Said, and Li Huqiu hurriedly thanked her.
Just as he was talking, the situation in the field changed. The iron cage was opened from above, and a long human-shaped cage was lifted down. Inside was a tall and strong yellow man with a dagger in his hand.
When the Bengal tiger saw someone coming in, the ferocious beast, which had been driven mad by hunger, rushed towards the iron cage and bit into it. Its sharp claws even reached into the cage and grabbed the hem of the gladiator's clothes inside.
The iron cage covering the gladiator was lifted away by the lifting device above, and the yellow gladiator was exposed to the claws of the ferocious Bengal tiger. This man was tall but very flexible in stretching his body. He stretched his waist
, holding the dagger in front of his chest, staring at the tiger's eyes. The moment the cage was lifted, there was a crisp metal sound. The tiger was frightened and took a few steps back. Now it was clear that there was no danger, and the beast once again
He regained his ferocity, staring at the prey ahead with his ruthless eyes, walking softly around the gladiator, looking for the best opportunity to pounce and deliver a fatal blow.
The dagger in the gladiator's hand shone with cold light, and the Bengal tiger seemed a little afraid of it. It wagged its tail seemingly unintentionally, and circled around the opponent as if strolling in a leisurely manner. The gladiator held the dagger and followed the fierce opponent closely.
The beast followed its footsteps and turned its body, always maintaining a state of confrontation. After a stalemate for a while, the Bengal tiger suddenly turned around, waggled its tail at the gladiator, and walked away a few steps away.
Thinking it was an opportunity, the gladiator raised his dagger and stabbed the tiger in the butt. But at this moment, the tiger suddenly turned around and jumped up high, dodging the dagger stabbed by the gladiator, and raised its claws to catch the gladiator.
The brush on his wrist left three blood grooves that were as deep as the bone, and blood suddenly flowed like a river. When the gladiator retreated in terror with his bare hands, the tiger roared and pounced on him, biting viciously with its huge mouth supported by its powerful jaws.
On the gladiator's neck, the sharp claws penetrated deeply into his chest and arms at the same time. With blood spattering, the Bengal tiger tore the gladiator's throat open. Shouts of meat! Meat! Meat! came from the surrounding VIP rooms.
As if in harmony with the shouts of these people, the Bengal tiger dragged the dead gladiator to a corner and started to feast on it. The scene of the beast cannibalizing was bloody and terrifying, but there were cheers all around.
This place is so weird and bizarre, being in it is like going on a journey through time and space, and the excitement is beyond words. The three of them, including Huqiu, felt it was an eye-opener. Sophie said angrily, this is really cruel. Li Huqiu looked at the cage
The wild beasts and dead people among them, I thought, this is the simplest law of the world, either eat people, or be eaten by people, there is no cruelty. If the person who died was this Bengal tiger, wouldn't it be cruel to kill the tiger with a knife?
?
The Bengal tiger was quickly taken down by the staff and hooked into the iron tunnel together with its "trophies". The cleaning work was carried out in an orderly manner. The staff looked calm when cleaning the blood and minced meat, as if it was just a person who had just been killed.
A chicken rather than a person.
The audience didn't have to wait too long. The second beast appeared tonight. It was actually a giant anaconda as thick as a bucket and nearly ten meters long. It had dark green markings all over its body. It twisted its body along the cage path.
Climbing into the iron cage, after smelling the smell of blood, he immediately stood up, opened his bloody mouth, spit out the black letter, and made a hissing sound.
Li Huqiu praised: "What a big snake!"
Said's eyes lit up and he said: "This anaconda is called 'Death Wind'. It has been here for two years. It has appeared more than a dozen times and no one can deal with it."
Sophie whispered in the ear of the thief king and translated Said's words to him. Li Huqiu looked at the tall and majestic black man standing on top of the iron cage in the field, "It seems that his unbeaten record will end here."
