Challenger No. A was calm in the face of danger. He twisted his body, turned around, turned his fist into a palm, and struck at the corpse demon's slender neck.
His two consecutive moves were all aimed at Zombie's head. Obviously, this was the most correct choice when using bare hands.
But this corpse demon who had no blood was not as weak as imagined. He dwarfed and rolled on the ground like a monkey. He stood up from the other side, moved left and right on the stage, and competed with Contestant No. A. deal with.
Li Xiao suddenly realized that even though Corpse Demon didn't see any blood, there were many female spectators at the scene. Corpse Demon was also very sensitive to women's breath, so his reaction would inevitably increase.
Fortunately, women who are menstruating are strictly prohibited from objectively competing in the arena. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy. They even killed a noble lady from a big city in public as a warning to others, which closed the loophole in the rules.
Li Xiao observed the corpse demon's movements and thought about how he would fight against him if he were himself.
The drumbeat of the timer continued, and the spectators began to make noises, but they felt that the number A fighter took too long and did not finish the opponent cleanly and neatly.
The rules of the competition are that once the contestant takes the stage, he or she must either kill the corpse or be killed.
Hearing the noise from the spectators, Contestant No. A became a little impatient. With a loud shout, he pumped his fists like windmills and advanced towards his opponent step by step.
Corpse Demon stepped back step by step, retreating to a corner with no way to retreat. Grids were drawn out of his body, but the traces of the net were blocking him. Corpse Demon was like a trapped animal, squirming from his throat. He forced out an inhuman howl.
The spectators also saw that it was the last moment. Many spectators in the seating area even stood up and continued to make noise, preparing to enjoy the killer performance of the No. 1 fighter.
Li Xiao also held his breath to see how the No. 1 fighter would finish off his opponent. He knew it was a bit cruel, but he came to watch this fight, wasn't it just to watch this moment?
Suddenly, at dawn, he faintly heard a short female scream from the surrounding sounds. It was high-pitched and thin, and seemed familiar. His heartstrings seemed to be plucked by something, and he heard it.
Is she here too? Isn't she menstruating? If discovered, it would be life-threatening... Who else could be the woman who could attract Li Xiao so much, besides the unknown girl who was hunting?
The drum beat suddenly stopped, and the whole place was in an uproar, with screams of shock. Li Xiao suddenly reacted and turned his eyes away, only to realize that he had missed the scene of a dramatic reversal of the situation. He saw Contestant No. A lying straight on the stage, his body covered with blood. She was lying on top of him, gnawing on his face, and the blood stained the wooden countertop red.
Several Baodings carrying buckets rushed onto the stage. One of them raised his hand and put a yellow talisman on the back of Shiba's head, immobilizing him. They quickly moved Shiba and the body of Contestant A to the center of the stage. , seemingly controlled by an agency, the corpses slowly sank and disappeared on the ring.
The security guards began to get busy, rinsing the countertop and wiping it dry with a cloth. It soon looked brand new. They also sprinkled some white powder on and off the stage. This was a medicine to remove the smell of blood to ensure the next round. fair.
Lin Qing'er's regretful voice sounded from the side of the stage: "The champion of number A has failed, life is like this, either you die or I die. I would like to congratulate Corpse Demon No. According to the rules of the competition, zombies who enter the New Year Competition and survive will be free..."
At dawn, he was a little absent-minded, squeezing through the crowd, trying to find the hunter. Once he found her, he immediately took her away from the ring. He didn't want the girl he had fallen in love with for the first time to die.
However, whether it was an illusion or not, he searched the standing area and couldn't find it.
As for the seating area, although he didn't think the girl had the ability to buy tickets, he still looked around for a long time, but he also didn't find the familiar figure.
Li Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, maybe he really heard something wrong.
About an hour later, I left the Ghost Market Street at dawn. In addition to two bags of water, I also carried three black cornstarch bags, which were enough for three days. As for next month's rent, there must be a way to the front of the mountain by car.
The small huts are built together, so close to each other that you can even hear the neighbors snoring and farting, but they never interact with each other. Except for meeting in the common latrine, the neighbors occasionally nod to each other. In fact, they don't even know each other. I don’t know what it looks like. This is the tragedy of ordinary people.
When you live in a ghost market, you have to live in a public latrine, because feces and urine are valuable and belong to the ghost community, and the vacancies in the manure trucks are not available to many homeless people even if they make a lot of money.
A small thatched hut can accommodate up to two people, and some refugees choose to live together in order to save money.
Of course, if a couple brings a child, they can also squeeze in. This is allowed by the ghost society.
Li Xiao was used to being alone and living alone in a relatively "luxurious" way. He walked through the winding paths in the grass shed area, and the scene of the battle between the devils echoed in his mind.
The crazy noises of the onlookers, Lin Qing'er's merciless words, and the bloody fight between the contestants and the zombies were all very cold and fierce.
What he saw at dawn was just a beast fighting for his life with another beast, and a group of beasts watching. He couldn't accept this animalistic atmosphere in his heart, but he couldn't deny that when he saw the champion kill the corpse, Or the scene where the contestant was bitten and eaten by the corpse demon, he actually found it very exciting and happy!
Bloodthirsty is also the hidden nature of human beings.
In the middle of a row of small huts, I stood in front of my firewood gate at dawn. I looked around cautiously, then shook the dust off my body, took out the key from my waist, opened the lock, and returned to my den.
In fact, this kind of small straw shed is very easy to break open, and the firewood door is useless even if it is locked. However, under the strict private laws of the ghost society, no one dares to try it.
At dawn, the door was bolted and the room suddenly became dark. This kind of small thatched hut has no windows, otherwise the suddenly cold night would be difficult.
He took off his water bag, untied his turban, and placed them together with three paper-wrapped black cornstarchs on the mahogany high table beside the door. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief, breathing freely that his home was not fresh, but even filled with water. The air that young people smell.
Although this home is small, with only a wooden bed in a three-foot-square space at the door, it is very warm in Li Xiao's heart.
He took off his outer robe, put the short knife on the bedside, kicked off his soap boots, and lay on his back on the thick quilt. He looked at the thatched roof above through the dim light from the wood door, feeling relaxed from the inside out. After being released, I felt like home again when I got home. Even the sound of a child crying from the neighboring straw shed was so sweet.
The sky is getting dark, the temperature has dropped, and it's time for dinner.
The dumplings at dawn and noon are very filling, and one meal is saved for dinner. Generally, for poor people, the best way to go hungry is to sleep.
So I quickly got into bed at dawn, listening to the sound of wind and sand in the distance and the noise of the neighbors, thinking about Lin Qing'er's charming face during the day, and the scent of the unknown girl, slowly Slowly fell into sleep...
