AWB Chapter 296 Underground Colosseum
Chapter 296 Underground Colosseum
The corridor is so narrow that two people can barely walk side by side.
Leng Zhuxin walked forward with the two of them protecting her. After a few meters, she reached the stairs.
Looking down from above, you can see the Colosseum below, which is as bright as day.
Leng Zhuxin looked up as she walked down the stairs.
The huge Colosseum was bustling with people, and many people were sitting in the rotating seats.
Everyone here holds a seal, but they have hidden their identities, so everyone's seat is chosen randomly, and is not divided according to status like outside.
Mo Qingshan and Leng Zhuxin chose a seat in the middle and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, a coolly dressed demon slave came up to serve tea, a plate of blood mist fruit, which was not common in the demon world, and specially made wolf head-shaped snacks.
The seats for the guests are spaced far apart, so if you want to enjoy yourself, you can call a special massage slave to relax your legs and feet.
The arena was surrounded by iron chains, and there were a lot of bloodstains on it that had not been cleaned up.
There are many iron cages surrounding the arena, in which half-orcs and demons are imprisoned. Occasionally, there are some monsters and monks that cannot be seen in the demon world, but the most numerous are half-orcs.
The monks locked inside were not very powerful. Their hands and feet were locked and they were curled up in a corner of the iron cage. Their appearance could not be seen clearly, and it was impossible to tell whether they were men or women.
Leng Zhuxin frowned slightly and asked Mo Qingshan casually, "Brother, why are there still monsters and cultivators in the arena?"
“It was captured by the people behind the Colosseum. They’ve been selling monsters and cultivators since the Colosseum opened.
However, the people in the demon world are used to using demon slaves, and rarely buy these monks back. Even if they buy them, they use them to refine demon pills or suck their essence and blood.
These cultivators have a lower status than the monsters in the demon world.
It's just because they are scarce and using them to make pills does not violate the laws of the demon world, so their price is the same as that of monsters.
For example, male cultivators in the Golden Core Stage over there are the most expensive."
Mo Qingshan pointed to an iron cage on the high platform. The iron cage was not placed together with those outside the beast fighting arena, but was placed alone, and there was only one person locked inside.
Leng Zhuxin looked in the direction of his finger and saw only a back.
He was wearing a white robe, which was a little tattered, but the emblem of the Wandao Sect could be vaguely seen.
The figure seemed somewhat familiar to Leng Zhuxin, but the person had his back to him and his loose black hair covered most of his figure, so Leng Zhuxin could not see clearly.
Leng Zhuxin stared at the Jindan-stage cultivator in the iron cage for quite a long time. Mo Qingshan saw the inquiry in her eyes and thought that she was curious because she had never seen a Jindan-stage cultivator in the Demon Realm.
He then continued, “Even though the underground arena sells Jindan stage cultivators, it only takes a few months for one to appear, and they are all casual cultivators.
The one locked in the cage today has a mark on his robes. It's hard to tell which family's crest or which sect's crest it is, but it's quite rare.
But no matter which one it is, it is the same for demon cultivators.
Although our Mo family does not approve of our members using human cultivators to refine pills and improve their cultivation, we cannot control others.
If you are interested in him, you can also buy him at the auction, which will be considered saving his life."
Mo Qingshan was telling the truth. There were only two types of cultivators that people who came to the Colosseum could buy: the ugly ones who made pills, and the beautiful ones who practiced dual cultivation but had their essence and blood sucked out and died.
No matter which one it is, they will die. Only if they are bought by the Mo family will they become slaves in the mansion like ordinary demon slaves.
But even if you go to their Mo family, you have no freedom and cannot leave the house at will.
Once he leaves the Mo family, he deserves to be killed. The Mo family will not search the whole city for a purchased demon cultivator, nor will they offend other nobles for this.
Speaking of demonic cultivators using human cultivators to refine pills and practice dual cultivation, the demons did not have this custom in the past.
It was also after this Demon King took office, because this Demon King hated cultivators very much and was an evil cultivator among the demon cultivators.
He had used both demon cultivators and human cultivators to refine magic pills to improve their cultivation. However, after he ascended to the position of Demon King, he thought that all the demon cultivators in the demon world were his subjects, so he no longer used people from the demon clan to improve his cultivation.
They only released news that human cultivation was of great benefit to demonic cultivation, inciting a war between the human and demon worlds.
He used the excuse of seizing the cultivation resources of Xuanling Continent. In fact, the cultivation resources he was referring to were cultivators.
It was only after that that the demon world brought it to light.
As for why the Demon King did this, Mo Qingshan could probably guess it. It was nothing more than using people to improve his cultivation faster, so that he could sit in his position more securely.
After the great war between humans and demons, the demon king's strength suddenly jumped to the Mahayana stage!
Naturally, many people can guess what happened.
However, after the war between humans and demons, the nobles suffered heavy losses, and the Demon King's cultivation level improved a lot, so no one dared to talk about these things openly, and rarely in private.
A barrier was set up between the human and demon worlds, and no one could enter without permission. Without the passage to the human world, the demon cultivators naturally became much more obedient.
It was not until this underground arena opened more than ten years ago that they saw human cultivators again.
At the first underground Colosseum auction, the most expensive item was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
It is said that the boss behind the Colosseum lost a lot of his men in order to capture the Nascent Soul cultivator.
The noble who got the Nascent Soul cultivator quickly saw a significant increase in strength, and the underground arena became famous.
The Mo family had only ever bought demon slaves in the underground arena. As for cultivators and monsters, the Mo family had always pretended not to see them. Although they didn't buy them themselves, they didn't meddle in their affairs either.
And he had only come a few times, mostly when there were no monks auctioning.
The seal in Mo Qingshan's hand was the one given to the nobles in each city when the underground arena was first opened.
Apart from those given at the beginning, it would be much more difficult for others to obtain this seal.
Mo Qingshan raised his eyes and took a look at the highest point. A curtain had been drawn on the originally empty platform. The curtain was not black or purple, the colors most admired by the demons, but red.
The platform was a ledge projecting from the Colosseum and the ring of seats, housing a small private room.
Although it is called a private room, in fact, there are no walls on all sides. It is just surrounded by a simple wooden fence with a few red curtains hanging on it to block the guests' view.
The curtains were made of Tiancan silk, a favorite of the cultivators of Xuanling Continent. It was a priceless item in the Demon Realm and was dyed red and hung around.
Normally, when the private room is not in use, it will be hung up with a hook and put down when it is used.
Guests who had been there several times knew the rules of the underground Colosseum. When they saw the red curtains in the private room lowered and a few charming-looking demon slaves light the lights inside, they knew that the boss behind the underground Colosseum had arrived.
