After Jiuyou's mother's "debut battle", the next plot of "Dragon Dream" became the job of the gladiators, performing fights for the audience in the arena.
Liao Ji still plays the role of a gladiator, cooperating with the advancement of the story.
"Don't... don't kill me, I give up! I give up!"
Soon Liao Ji's first battle came, and the result was no surprise. Now, the gladiator who was Liao Ji's opponent was kneeling down to beg for mercy, kowtowing repeatedly, with tears and snot mixed on his face, looking extremely embarrassed. How embarrassing.
The audience on the stage showed contempt and contempt when they saw this, and the gamblers who had bet on the gladiator cursed loudly, while the audience who had bet on Liao Ji shouted excitedly, shouting for Liao Ji to execute his opponent quickly and give him the final fatal blow. hit.
But Liao Ji looked at the gladiator in front of him who was kneeling before him with a humble expression. Although he knew that these were NPCs in a dream, he still did not kill him and prepared to turn around and leave.
However, who would have thought that the moment Liao Ji turned around, the expression of the gladiator who had just been crying and begging for mercy instantly changed to a ferocious one. His eyes were red, showing crazy killing intent, and he took out a morning breakfast from his arms. The dagger was ready and was about to stab Liao Ji's heart.
"Go to hell!"
The gladiator who was charging with a dagger had a look of cruelty and excitement on his face. He looked really stupid for letting him go and being so defenseless, exposing his back to Liao Ji. It was as if I could see myself winning the game.
A Jedi comeback often gives more bonuses. Greed and bloodlust filled the minds of the gladiators, and the audience on the stage became excited because of this. Scenes like this where the strong are killed by the weak because of their carelessness, the audience They never tire of it.
It's a pity that Liao Ji didn't even have to look back. 86 and Control No. 1, who were nearby, directly covered the sneak attack gladiator with firepower. The gladiator's dagger didn't even touch the corner of Liao Ji's clothes, and he was beaten to death. He fell through the sieve and died tragically on the field.
In the eyes of the audience on the stage, this scene automatically transformed into Liao Ji's beautiful backhand that knocked away the gladiator, and then executed him without mercy.
The audience burst into cheers. They were not afraid of the tragic death of the gladiator. Instead, they found it enjoyable. This is what they wanted to see. Without killing and blood, could an arena still be called an arena?
After Liao Ji won the game, the dream scene changed quickly, and soon he was standing on the arena again for a new game.
Different from just now, the number of viewers who came to watch his game this time was obviously much larger than before. Obviously, in this story, the character he played has become a powerful newcomer.
So this time, the gladiator on the opposite side seemed to know that he was defeated by Liao Ji, and had no fighting spirit towards Liao Ji. He kept calling for advice from Liao Ji throughout the whole process, and after being easily defeated by Liao Ji, He even praised Liao Ji's martial arts skills, looking like he was resigned to being the inferior.
This gladiator had obviously studied Liao Ji and knew that as long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke Liao Ji, he could still save his life even if he lost. This was definitely very rare in a life-and-death arena.
Liao Ji really did not intend to kill the opponent. When he turned to leave, the gladiator did not make any sneak attacks. Instead, he watched Liao Ji leave respectfully without moving, for fear that Liao Ji would misunderstand.
Of course, this "boring" battle naturally aroused great dissatisfaction from the audience. What they wanted to see was not this kind of peaceful arena where there were not even casualties.
After the game, when Liao Ji thought that the next game was about to begin, the dreamy scene around him changed, and he was actually in the audience seat.
Liao Ji looked down and saw two gladiators fighting in the arena. One of them, Liao Ji knew, was the opponent he had spared in the last round.
Now this gladiator no longer had the humility he had when fighting Liao Ji, because his opponent was obviously not as strong as him. After a fight, his opponent was stabbed through the abdomen with a sharp blade, and he had obviously lost his ability to fight.
"Please...spare me, I admit defeat, I surrender..."
"I still have a family waiting for me to support, and a five-year-old daughter. She can't live without her father. I, I can't die, please..."
"Didn't Mr. Liao Ji let you go before? You, you will definitely do the same..."
Before the defeated gladiator could finish his plea, his head was cut off with a ruthless knife. Blood spurted out, dyeing the sand around the arena red.
The gladiator who was once spared by Liao Ji never said he wanted to imitate Liao Ji. The polite and courteous attitude he had when facing Liao Ji was completely invisible now.
He only became bloodthirsty and ferocious, and chose the bloodiest method of beheading. The purpose was also very simple. The audience burst into applause for him, and a large number of happy businessmen and gentry gave this contestant Reward.
Liao Ji felt very uncomfortable in this scene.
If I had killed this gladiator instead of letting him go, maybe this gladiator father wouldn't have to die?
No...
Liao Ji soon understood that it had nothing to do with whether he killed or not. This was the cruelty of the arena. The law of the jungle was the only law here. All moral constraints were like a joke to the arena.
】
The fate of all gladiators is to kill to please the audience. This is a man-made poisonous breeding ground. The poisonous insects in it have no right to resist or choose. They can only kill each other again and again, endlessly.
Soon, Liao Ji's dream scene changed again. This time, the arena seemed particularly grand, and the seats were almost full. Even in the gaps between the seats, there were countless spectators who would rather stand to watch.
Each competition held in the arena is a elimination system. After killing each opponent, the finals will be held by the two strongest gladiators of the year to determine the true champion of the arena.
This kind of final is an absolute grand event in the arena almost every year, and it is also a major event in the Gulasai base. Not only the regulars of the arena, but also many civilians in the base want to squeeze in and witness the battle between the strong. of fighting.
This year's final is officially called the most important showdown in recent decades. In addition to the usual requirement that the winner can make a request within the official's capabilities, the official also raised the prize money. , wanting to stimulate the two players.
As the two most powerful players who have fought through many gladiators this year, one of them is naturally Liao Ji.
And another...
Liao Ji looked at a middle-aged dragon race woman who was looking at him across the arena.
