The gladiators are all extremely fierce, but no one is interested in paying attention to others when the battle is about to begin. In the movie, the gladiators who always fight in anger will not live long, well, except for the protagonist.
Idiots who waste energy by arguing and fighting when they are about to go on stage will usually die the fastest.
Ye Chen also imitated them and sat down with his eyes closed to relax, listening to the roaring and tsunami-like cheers from above. It was the first opening battle, so the competitions arranged were usually very exciting, and the ones who could be ranked first in the battle were basically the supervisors.
A promising gladiator has a very high status and treatment.
Ye Chen ranked third, which was the prelude to the most exciting stage of the morning's fight, which meant that the next fight he appeared in or the next would definitely be the most exciting.
He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to meditate. Not long after, a loud shout suddenly came from above. Ye Chen frowned and opened his eyes to look at the other four people. Their expressions were not very good either.
At this time, two heavily armed soldiers guarding the door suddenly opened the door and rushed out. They quickly dragged a nearly tattered corpse in and threw it on the floor. Blood splashed on Ye Chen's face.
, he didn't even move.
The expressions on the faces of the other four gladiators were similar to his, and they silently stared at the corpses on the ground.
They recognized this corpse, and Ye Chen also had the impression in his mind that it was a famous gladiator in the arena whose nickname was Mad Lion. Most of the gladiators in the arena had no nicknames and belonged to the lowest level of gladiators. But once they had a nickname, they represented
You have already made a name for yourself, and your treatment is completely different from that of ordinary gladiators.
Not only does it have a private room, but there is also an appearance fee after each battle. Occasionally, you can leave the arena and go to the city to play. You have a certain degree of freedom. If you save enough money, you can also redeem yourself. Ordinary gladiators cannot redeem themselves.
of.
"The mad lion is dead..."
"When the mad lion dies, it's up to you!"
A loud voice came from behind. Ye Chen immediately turned his head and saw a big man wearing a brocade robe holding a pipe and walking down the stairs, followed by four men.
The big man held the pipe in his hand and pointed at the five gladiators in the hall and said:
"A big shot came to watch the battle and was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Mad Lion, so the arena made a temporary decision. The five of you will go together and continue the Mad Lion's battle. As compensation, if you win, the Mad Lion's appearance fee will be divided equally among you, and you are allowed to
Go out for a day."
After speaking, his eyes scanned the five people one by one.
The five gladiators were also silent. After a while, Ye Chen raised his hand and asked:
"Can we prepare weapons?"
The big man smiled slightly and said:
"You can choose any weapon, and you can also choose a piece of mail and a shield."
He was very generous, but everyone was not happy after hearing this. Instead, they became more worried and nervous. The battles in the arena were all for viewing. The more intense the battle, the more dangerous it was. Now the arena even equipped them with weapons and protective gear to represent their opponents.
superb.
The big man holding the pipe waved his hand, and one of his men opened the door of a room next to the hall. Inside was a small armory, with two rows of shelves filled with blood-stained weapons. The big man pointed inside and said to them:
"You have half a stick of incense to prepare."
Everyone looked at each other and silently stood up and went into the room to prepare weapons. Only Ye Chen walked to the door of the arena and took a look outside. In the center of the huge arena squatted a vicious ape covered in pitch black and exuding an astonishing evil aura.
It turned out to be a ferocious beast. No wonder famous gladiators like the Mad Lion were killed.
The so-called ferocious beasts are enhanced versions of ordinary beasts, similar to the strength of monsters, but without the wisdom of monsters. In this world, they are called ferocious beasts, and they are very powerful.
Apes have always been powerful and agile in their movements. Ye Chen knew the target well when he saw it. He returned to the weapon room and picked out a long sword for himself. He also tied a long dagger to his waist, as well as a shield and chainmail.
If used, it will reduce speed and flexibility.
Looking at the other four people, they are all fully armed, with swords, axes, hammers, shields, and chainmail. They can equip as many as they can. He is a different kind.
The five people were ready, and the door to the arena was opened. One of them, a big man with a scar at the corner of his eye, walked out first with a short axe. Immediately, a burst of cheers came from the stage. The five people filed out, and a huge cheer spread.
In his ears, there was a muffled sound behind him, and the door was closed.
When the vicious ape saw someone coming out, he stood up from the ground and was nearly three meters tall. The huge size and fierce aura brought huge pressure to them.
At this time, the host in the arena was shouting with a passionate voice:
"Distinguished gentlemen, ladies and madams, here we present a team of five experienced gladiators who have experienced hundreds of battles. Here they will challenge a vicious ape from the Yellow Wind Canyon. Is it a bloodthirsty ape?
Who is more powerful, an ape or a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles? Let us wait and see!"
The host's words were very provocative, and the atmosphere in the stands of the arena quickly became heated. In one of the VIP rooms at the top of the arena, a beautiful woman with a voluptuous and graceful figure was lying on a cloud.
, a maid beside her peeled off a grape and put it into her mouth. She held her plump chin with her hand and spoke in a lazy and seductive voice:
"It's quite interesting."
There was a big man standing in the corner of the room. It was the big man holding the pipe before. The pipe was hanging on his waist at this time. He bowed and said:
"Madam, if you have any special requests, I will handle them for you immediately."
The beautiful woman waved her hand:
"Forget it, that's it."
"Then I go and let them start?"
"Well, go ahead!"
In the field, Ye Chen and the five of them spontaneously spread out and lined up in a row, about one step apart. This distance was enough for them to reinforce at any time.
Although gladiatorial fights are mostly fought alone, there are occasional group fights, and simple coordination is still possible.
At this time, there was a loud gong sound from the high platform. The vicious ape stood up and stared at them but did not move. It seemed that he got the signal. He kicked his legs fiercely, leaving an obvious footprint on the hard ground, and his huge body flew directly into the air.
Like a meteorite, it fell straight towards Ye Chen.
Obviously, this vicious ape regarded Ye Chen, who had no shield and armor, as a soft persimmon.
Ye Chen kicked his foot and retreated violently. The vicious ape slammed down, and a wave of air blew his eyes slightly. He took another step back, and a pair of thick ape arms hit him right in front of him. 'Bang'
A large piece of earth was shaken up with a loud sound.
Ye Chen took the opportunity and slashed the ape's arm with his long sword. It felt like he had hit a steel wire. He vaguely seemed to see sparks coming out, and the sword blade directly slid across the ape's fur.
The two gladiators immediately seized the opportunity to hit the ape with their shields and sandwich the ape in the middle. The other two stabbed the ape directly with their swords.
"drink!"
A flash of blood lit up, and the sword blade pierced the ape's fur with difficulty, injuring its flesh and blood.
