Chapter 18: The Colosseum

With Qingyu's answer, Chen Er pushed open the door and stood aside, Shen Bao slowly walked over with a tray in his hand, on which was a large plate of steaming cube-shaped tofu, accompanied by bright red hot sauce and large meat grains. Suddenly, the fragrance in the room was permeated, Qingyu's entire beautiful eyes were attracted by food, and Qingyun nodded slightly to Shenbao.

Shen Bao put the food on the dining table: "On the way here, I heard that you two came to eat again, and I didn't have any preparations, so I made a plate of mapo tofu from my hometown and came to taste it." ”

Qingyu didn't care about being polite, picked up the bowl and spoon and tasted a few bites, and was so hot that he blew up: "It's delicious, why has this tofu brain become so hard?" It's spicy, fragrant and numb, senior sister, try it. ”

The gentle and demure Qingyun is different from the delicious and playful Qingyu, who lightly raises his wrist and tastes a small bite, and his bright eyes and bright teeth show the demeanor of a beautiful woman: "The matter of Liuhe Village, I didn't find out about you, right?" ”

Shen Bao scooped Chen Er a bowl of mapo tofu: "Who would have thought that the deacon of the dignified Yin Ghost Sect would be killed for robbing two Qi Refining Valley Farmers." Meng Huai is used to being arrogant on weekdays, and the monks who offended him are not a hundred or fifty, and he can't find me and my second brother. ”

With that, he took out a bag of spirit stones and put them in front of Qingyu's table. Don't look at Qingyun didn't refuse a thousand spirit stones, but her cold and arrogant nature really can't give spirit stones directly. On the contrary, Qingyu, who is greedy and fun-loving, does not have so much thought, as long as it is a spirit stone, he will not refuse.

Shen Bao has watched so many idol dramas on the earth, and he is no stranger to Qingyun's cold and arrogant character. A little bit of self-esteem to the other party, at least several episodes of bloody routines.

I don't listen to what, I don't listen, I don't listen, I play a petty temperament and make awkward, fancy tricks and so on, I am busy improving my cultivation now, how can I have the kung fu to make dog blood......

Qingyu really smiled with a pair of smart peach blossom eyes, opened the spirit stone bag and counted: "It's really a hundred spirit stones, you are definitely a good person." ”

Shen Bao couldn't help but smile slightly wryly, and muttered in a low voice: "Why do girls in any world like this, and they can still get a good person card in the other world." A good person is a good person, it's better than a long-lost brother and sister. ”

Qingyu didn't care about Shen Bao's muttering, and pinned the spirit stone bag to Xiao Man's waist: "Senior sister, we have spirit stones, let's go to the Colosseum to bet on it, right?" Today, there is a Xiaoli King against the Bear Clan's Hundred Demon Chiefs, and the odds are one point three to earn an extra thirty spirit stones! ”

Chen Er, who had been silent, heard the Colosseum, and was rarely interested: "Xiaobao, I want to go to the Colosseum to find a demon beast to try." ”

The Colosseum, to put it simply, is a small killing ring.

After ordinary monks pay the spirit stones, they can select the corresponding demon beasts to fight, and the demon beasts inside are all captured from the demon battlefield, and this real battle between life and death has a stronger effect than ordinary cultivation. It is free for monks to watch the battle, and at the same time, the odds will be evaluated according to the combat strength of both sides of the fight, and the spirit stone will be used to bet.

However, it was not cheap for ordinary cultivators, especially for a little-known mid-stage Qi refining cultivator like Chen Er, to directly select demon beasts to fight. Not only do you have to sign a life and death certificate before the battle, but you also need to pay for the purchase of spirit stones for demon beasts participating in the battle, which is about equal to at least ten spirit stones for demon beasts in the middle stage of qi refining.

Since he is not well-known in the monk circle, there are often no people who bet on spirit stones, so naturally there is nothing to talk about earning spirit stones. In the vast majority of cases, low-level monks can't afford to spend spirit stones to fight in person. After a high-level monk wins a few games in a row, the fang market will arrange for a demon beast with extremely strong combat power to take off, and the monk will usually pay the price of his life.

After the last bloody battle with the ghouls, Chen Er became quite belligerent. Most of the day is spent practicing combat skills, often pulling a dozen mine slaves to fight with bows and arrows, and only relying on black iron shield skills to block without spiritual power.

"I've been practicing for a long time, so I should try it out in a fight."

……

The northwest corner of Fang City, the Colosseum.

Similar to the imaginary Colosseum, the rotunda has about 1,000 spectator seats.

In the middle is a battle arena with a diameter of 20 zhang, and there is a hidden defensive circle on the edge to prevent monsters from escaping and protect the safety of the audience.

As soon as Shen Bao, Chen Er, Qing Yun, and Qing Yu entered the Colosseum, they heard a deafening shout.

"Kill!"

"Fight back, fight back!"

"Bite him to death, bite his neck directly."

The battle in the arena had come to an end, and a monk in the early stage of foundation building shook his right arm, which was only a little bit of flesh and tendon, and struggled to raise his left hand to block the attack of a wolf clan hundred demon leader.

The wolf clan demon chief was also covered in scars, a fist-sized blood hole was pulled out of his chest, three of the four canine teeth were broken, and even half of the sharp wolf claws were broken. However, the monster's strong body makes it more durable than the foundation monk.

"Recognize ......"

The foundation building monk finally reached his limit and knelt down in front of the wolf clan hundred demons and begged for mercy. According to the rules of the Colosseum, the battle was stopped only if the monk knelt and conceded defeat. This seems to be a simple kneeling, and he is afraid that he will stay in a nightmare for months and will not be able to escape. The monsters couldn't admit defeat at all, and their only result was to fight to the death.

"Bilia Yudawe!"

The wolf clan demon leader didn't wait for the other party to shout to admit defeat, shouted a beast language, and slashed the monk's neck with a wave of his claws. Immediately, the Jindan period monk who rushed to the rescue flew through his heart, and before he lost his breath, he looked at this strange sky, still whispering until his pupils dilated.

Shen Bao thought that admitting defeat was already the worst result, but he didn't expect that this wolf clan demon leader would rather die together than kill the monk, and looked at Qingyun with a puzzled face: "Why did it do this?" ”

Qingyun has more than 20 years of cultivation experience, and is also familiar with some common beast languages, explaining: "Even if it stops, it will lose its combat value due to serious injuries afterwards and be slaughtered." Bilia Yudawei realm, the meaning of the wolf warriors will win. ”

The fine iron gates of the Colosseum opened, and several Qi Refining Cultivators entered the arena to collect the two corpses. Similar deaths are all too common, and the captured monsters are also suffering while they are alive, and they often fight extremely fiercely, and they don't care about the same fate at all.

The body of the monk was handed over to his fellow disciples or relatives and friends, causing bursts of crying and sighing. Even if he is guarded by a Jindan monk, he will lose his life if he is not careful, and if he dares to fight to the end, he may still have a chance.

The corpse of the Hundred Demon Leader was dragged backstage for dismantling. The animal skins around the body are cut into leather armor, the intact bone claws are made into arrowheads, and the flesh and bones are transported to the Yunshilou to sell as dishes.

Although Shen Bao said that his cultivation was only in the middle stage of Qi refining, he had come to this place for two years, and he knew some common sense of the demon clan: "Even if there is a difference in the combat level of the hundred demon leaders according to different races, the hundred demon leaders of the wolf clan are at least the middle and late stage of the foundation building, why should he skip the level and challenge?" ”

Qingyu, as a fan of small wealth, directly hit the nail on the head: "You are stupid, why don't you find your fellow disciples if you want to fight simply." I came to the Colosseum to push myself to the extreme and stimulate my potential through life-and-death battles. Skipping one level is already the most common, and there have been examples of challenging the three-headed bear clan hundred demon leaders in the middle of foundation building before. It took two hours to finish, and he almost died, and he condensed the golden pill within half a year of going back. ”

Hearing this explanation, Shen Bao and Chen Er immediately understood, isn't it an upgraded version of the stone-swallowing gamble - mortals forcibly stimulate their own flesh and blood to merge with spiritual power by swallowing spirit stones, and the Colosseum pushes themselves to the limit through the battle between life and death! It is only under such extreme conditions that the potential to surpass oneself can burst out.

Shen Bao watched the young corpse being carried away, and couldn't help but shake his head: "What's the trouble with this, I can't do it in a hurry." ”

Qingyun sighed slightly: "After the monk reaches the foundation building period, he needs to go to the demon battlefield to serve for a year, unless he pays three thousand spirit stones to make up the service. It's better to spend two hundred spirit stones to gamble, maybe the cultivation will skyrocket, and the chance of surviving on the front line will be much higher. At least there are Jindan monks here, and they can still spend spirit stones to save their lives when they are really at a critical juncture. On the battlefield, you are too busy to take care of yourself, and if you are not careful, you can only fall. Unless the talent is extremely outstanding, the sect is willing to pay three thousand spirit stones to be exempted from service. ”

The female monks are not forced to serve in the demon battlefield, because the offspring they give birth to are generally higher in cultivation qualifications than mortals, and they are also accumulating manpower for the long-term war of resistance. Even if they voluntarily go to the demon battlefield, most of them are entrusted with auxiliary work in the rear, treating the wounded, repairing magic weapons, refining elixirs, sewing armor, and so on.

The monk in charge of the Colosseum's explanation took the magic weapon of amplification and shouted to the audience: "Fellow monks, is there anyone who wants to challenge the limits?" Only those who are ruthless enough to themselves can not be afraid of any difficulties. Let yourself be the legend of the Colosseum, and engrave your name on the warrior monument for future generations to admire......"

At the entrance to the Colosseum stands a large stone monument with the names of more than two hundred people engraved on it. Only successful challengers who transcend a big realm are qualified to leave a name. Most of the more than 200 people on the stele will be the pillars of their respective sects and well-known monks in the future.

Qingyu shook the spirit stone bag and listened to the crisp sound of the spirit stone colliding: "Shen Da Rich Lord, you are such a good silver silk silkworm coat and red flame sword, why don't you go down and try it?" Pick a fox or sheep clan hundred demon leaders, and the winning rate is estimated to be forty percent. Tell you quietly, send some spirit stones to the caretaker monks, they can help you pick the injured ......"

Shen Bao directly rolled his eyes: "Come less, you just want to bet!" After a good life, I don't look for abuse. ”

Chen Er stood up and jumped into the Colosseum with a black iron shield.

"Second brother!"

Shen Bao hurriedly got up and didn't hold back, he could only watch Chen Er walk up to the explanation monk and hand over two hundred spirit stones: "I'm coming, the Bear Clan Hundred Demon Leader." ”

The monk was directly stunned, looked at the mid-stage qi refining monk in front of him, and confirmed: "Well, the little brother's courage is commendable, but the lowest level of the Hundred Demon Elders is about the same as in the early stage of our foundation building." The Bear Clan Hundred Demon Chiefs are even more famous for their thick skin and resistance to beatings, and ordinary foundation building period spells can't easily hurt them. You better change to a strong ordinary demon beast, here are the bear clan axe men, wolf clan sword soldiers, ape clan wall climbers whose strength is equivalent to the late stage of qi refining, or the difficult eagle demon ......"

Seeing that Chen Er was in trouble again, Shen Bao no longer hesitated, and then jumped into the Colosseum: "Let's challenge a bear clan hundred demon leader." ”

The explanation monk saw the two mid-stage Qi refining monks in front of him, wearing silver silk silkworm clothes, the Chiyan Sword and the Black Iron Shield in their hands, and reluctantly nodded: "Okay, let's explain first, the two of them challenging a demon beast will not be counted in the warrior tablet, and they will not open a bet." Once the Colosseum starts a war, you need to sign a life and death document, can you two think about it? ”

Shen Bao took out a spirit stone bag containing three hundred spirit stones and handed it to the other party: "The juniors just want to fight in real combat, not to make a name for themselves." ”

The monk padded a bag of spirit stones, and instantly understood that he would give himself an extra hundred spirit stones. handed over two life and death documents, and reminded softly: "If you are not defeated, you must shout to admit defeat, and wait for Brother Jindan to successfully rescue before stopping." Although you have to pay 500 life-saving spirit stones afterwards, you both have a good future, and it is important to save your lives. If you don't want others to worry about it, you can take Erong Dan and Kana. ”

"Thank you, senior."
