Junior Disciple C

Chapter 157

After waking up, Feng Ye still didn't think of a specific plan.

He originally wanted to think about it while doing labor during the day, but when he was about to go to the quarry as usual, under the order of the Xiqiang soldiers, he suddenly discovered that today's situation was a bit unusual.

Every day at dawn, there was usually only one soldier who came to unlock the door of the hut and urge the slaves to work, but today there were five soldiers.

These five people are led by one person.

The figure of the leader is not as strong as other Xiqiang soldiers, but rather thin.Unlike military officers and generals, they should be civilian officials.Feng Ye thought to himself.

Standing at the door of the thatched shed, the civil servant glanced at the interior with a haughty expression. He wanted to enter, but after seeing the mess inside and smelling the sour odor caused by the slaves who had not been washed for a long time, he backed away a few more step.

He winked at the soldiers beside him, and the soldiers responded knowingly.

Thus, Feng Ye and others were driven out of the hut by the other four soldiers like sheep.

Feng Ye and his party lined up in front of the thatched shed, and when the line was lined up, the four soldiers stood back to their original positions, beckoning the civil servant to come forward and check.

The civil servant stepped forward to check, but covered his nose with disgust, and kept a three-step distance from the slaves.

He walked around the queue, looking at the people, but he didn't look at the faces. He only stared at the bodies of the people, like picking cattle and sheep, and only valued the physique of the animals.

"This, and this." He pointed to two people.

Among the yellow and thin slaves, the two looked younger and stronger.

Feng Ye was chosen as a matter of course, and the other one was Wu Yi.

Feng Ye and Wu Yi were kicked out of the original queue, and they were escorted away by the soldiers behind the civil servant.

The rest couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know what they were being taken to, the unknown was scary. It was better to stay here to carry the stones, at least they didn't have to worry about it.

For a moment, the people who were exhausted from labor labor showed a bit of willingness.

They were taken to the quarry by guarding soldiers as usual, while Feng Ye and Wu Yi followed behind the civil servant.

The civil servants didn't talk to them, only one person walked in front, while the four soldiers walked on both sides of Feng Ye and Wu Yi, watching them closely.

Wu Yi was terribly frightened. He swallowed. Last night, he just found out about Feng Ye's daring deed. Today they were taken away by soldiers. They went to question the guilty.

Wu Yi's fear was obvious, and Feng Ye naturally noticed it.He secretly patted Wu Yi with his palm, so that Wu Yi wouldn't be so nervous.

Feng Ye didn't think that these people came because of the disappearance of the soldiers. If so, he would definitely not be so polite to them. Just suspecting that they were suspected, they must have been handcuffed and added.

Although they are being escorted by four soldiers, they are not wearing shackles.Moreover, the purpose of this civil servant's selection is obvious. He is selecting young and middle-aged people.

The civil official's next actions confirmed Feng Ye's guess. After selecting the two of them, the civil official went to other huts where the slaves were kept, and selected all the young and strong ones.

Originally, there were only two people, Feng Ye and Wu Yi, and the team suddenly grew longer, with a total of 50 or [-] people.Wu Yi finally realized that the Xiqiang soldiers didn't come to them to question them.

But this cognition did not ease his fear much. Instead of asking for guilt, why did he suddenly pick out these slaves who were doing hard work?Maybe it was pulled to sacrifice to the snake god.

The crawling sounds of the snakes and the "hissing" sound of spitting out letters echoed in his mind together, and he was so frightened that he shivered again.

Feng Ye actually had this guess too, but he also felt that the sacrificial team of four or 50 people might be too much?He didn't know the laws of the Xiqiang people's worship of gods, so he didn't know what to do, so he decided to wait and see what happened.

A long line of four or 50 people left the quarry camp under the guard of soldiers and civilian officials, but they did not leave too far. They came to the next door to the camp, a somewhat strange fully enclosed building.

Feng Ye raised his head and took a look. The building was almost two stories high, and it occupied an area as large as five or six acres of land. It was impossible to see the inside clearly from the outside.

There is an entrance and exit directly in front of the building. There are high steps in front of the entrance and exit, leading directly to the second floor of the building.Moreover, the steps were covered with carpets, so it seemed that Feng Ye and the others could not walk.

The group of them entered through the small door on the side of the building. There were no steps in front of the small door, and it led to the first floor of the building.Similarly, there are no carpets or magnificent decorations. Compared with the main entrance not far away, it is simple and shabby.

Arriving inside, Feng Ye saw a room similar to a lounge, only similar, because the door of this lounge is not a door that can be opened freely, but a locked railing.

They were locked inside the railing, and then the soldiers left.

There were no windows in the room, so the light was very dim, except for the little door through which they came in.

Feng Ye took advantage of this halo to look around. He observed the room first. He thought that the locked railing was the only exit, but after observing, he found that there was a wall that looked like a wall directly opposite the railing. There is also a built-in exit that is not too obvious.

Feng Ye thought for a while, then suddenly left Wu Yi behind, walked to the location where the hidden exit was, put his hands on the wall, and tried to push.

Not moving.

Feng Ye let go, but he didn't give up trying. He took two steps back, gathered his strength, and pushed the stone door with even greater force.

"Forget it, you can't push it, it's not time to open it yet."

Suddenly there was a voice behind him, Feng Ye followed the voice and saw a big man sitting on the ground.Although his clothes are as simple as Feng Ye's, but in the simplicity, there are also differences in clothing habits.

This difference is also reflected in the appearance. The man has a straight nose and deep eye sockets, which is completely different from Chu people like Feng Ye and Wu Yi.

This is a man from another tribe.Feng Ye thought to himself.This is not surprising. Xiqiang captured many small countries or tribes, and the captured slaves naturally came from all corners of the country.

Feng Ye was surprised by the man's demeanor, like Wu Yi who was frightened and apprehensive all the way, even now that the Xiqiang soldiers had left, he didn't slow down.

The man was not at all, he was not apprehensive or frightened, he was not even curious, he was not at all curious about where this place was, nor what the Xiqiang people brought them here for.

It's like he already knew it.

What the man said just now also shows this point, it is not the first time he has come here.

Feng Ye didn't try to push the stone door anymore. He looked around at the expressions of the people around him, and found that among the four or fifty people, there were people who were anxious and curious like him and Wu Yi, but there were also people who behaved plainly like men. The number is still a little more.

The difference between the two is very obvious. Wu Yi is still standing up to now, and he is trembling because of his nervousness, and he dare not sit down, while the men with calm expressions are sitting leaning against the wall, closing their eyes and resting their minds.

After the man finished saying that, he leaned his head against the wall behind him, bent one leg, and rested and relaxed.

Feng Ye thought for a moment, then walked over to the man. He sat down in the open space beside the man, and at the same time reported his name: "My name is Feng Ye."

"Batu." The man still closed his eyes, but he responded.

"You just said it's not ready yet?" Feng Ye got straight to the point, and asked, "What does that mean?"

Batu opened his eyes, he glanced at Feng Ye, and then he glanced at Feng Ye again. The newcomer, who was completely puzzled by the situation at this time, was not much sleepy at the moment anyway, so he simply gave an explanation.

"Do you know where this is?" Batu didn't expect Feng Ye or other newcomers to give an answer, he quickly answered: "Colosseum."

Colosseum?Feng Ye was taken aback when he heard this, it was the first time he heard this name.But based on the name alone, it is not difficult to understand the usefulness of this place.

As small as cricket fighting, as big as cockfighting and dogfighting, throughout the ages, it has never been uncommon.But in addition to fighting these animals, you can also fight some other things.

Feng Ye had a guess in his mind that the group of them was brought here by Xiqiang soldiers, so they must not have come as spectators.

Batu saw that Feng Ye probably guessed it, so he didn't explain it in too much detail, he just said: "This Colosseum is for the nobles and gentlemen of Xiqiang to have fun, and it is usually opened every once in a while, the interval is not fixed, short Three or four times a week, or once a month."

"In the beginning, there were only ferocious beasts to fight here, but the nobles thought it was not enjoyable, so they picked slaves from among the slaves. In case they were too unappreciative, they specially picked some strong ones like us."

"Humans fight with humans, humans fight with beasts, or...humans fight with ghosts." Batu paused before saying the last category.

"Ghost?" Feng Ye repeated the word, he was puzzled by the word.

Batu looked at Feng Ye again, with some surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect Feng Ye didn't even know this.

After standing stupidly for a long time, Wu Yi finally recovered, walked to Feng Ye, and followed Feng Ye to listen to Batu's explanation. Hearing this, he couldn't help but interjected: "You have lost your memory and even forgot this, and I forgot it too. Tell you."

"On the day we first came, at the foot of the Jiubu Cliff, do you remember those eight very tall generals?"

Feng Ye nodded, and Wu Yi said again: "In fact, those are not living people, but ghosts, extremely evil ghosts made by that ghost-faced priest."

"An extremely evil ghost?" Feng Ye's confusion remained undiminished. The name sounded vicious, but he didn't know how vicious it was.

"Anyway, it's very powerful, because they died long ago, so they don't feel the pain. If you attack them with a sword, unless you cut off all their hands and feet, they won't stop no matter how serious the injury is."

"And it is said that these ghosts can carry a tripod with all their strength, and they can tear a large living person in half with their hands." Wu Yi said it decently, but he was actually hearing it because he had never seen it. Let's see what the eight ghost generals look like on the battlefield.

It was just ordinary Xiqiang soldiers who attacked their village, it was just a small village, and there was no need for ghost generals to attack them.

"Isn't it said that I have personally seen how these ghosts tore a person to pieces?" Batu interrupted suddenly.

He showed a look of reminiscence: "My cousin's name is Ba, Teer. This name means a hero. Only truly powerful men in our tribe are qualified to be called this name."

"Batuer was born with supernatural power. He was able to single-handedly challenge the wolf king at the age of 15, and later became a general as a matter of course. As a result..." Batu's voice sank, "In front of that ghost general, he was almost There is no strength to fight back, it is as easy as tearing a piece of paper..."

Feng Ye recalled the pressure when the eight ghost generals forced him under the Jiubuya Cliff, and realized that Wu Yi and Batu's words were not exaggerating.

The ghost general broke the iron shackles easily, and Feng Ye himself, even with all his strength, couldn't break free from the shackles.

With such a disparity in strength, Feng Ye suddenly thought of the conversation he heard on the city wall the day before yesterday. Those soldiers said that the defenders would be transferred away, but they also said that the strongest of the eight ghost generals would stay behind.

Feng Ye didn't pay much attention to it at the time, he just thought of it as a very strong general, but people have their limits, no matter how strong they can be, they have a large number of people, even if they use crowd tactics, they will definitely win.

But only now did he realize that the strength of the eight ghost generals might not be compensated by numbers.

Although there was only one person left, it also added a difficult obstacle to his plan.

After calming down for a while, Batu continued: "That ghost-faced priest has been trying to refine ghosts, but he has not always succeeded. After decades, he only has these eight ghost generals in his hands."

"However, he will occasionally refine some evil spirits that are not as good as the Eight Great Ghost Generals. To him, these evil spirits are just failures. He will use us to test the strength and shortcomings of failures."

"The test method is to put us and the evil spirit together in the Colosseum, and let them fight each other. Last time we fought against the evil spirit with four or 50 people. Although we won, after the first battle, only Very few people."

"Compared with evil spirits, those ferocious wolves, tigers and leopards are much easier to deal with. However, it is not up to us to decide who the opponent is. Whether it is a human, a beast or a ghost, it all depends on luck."

After Batu finished speaking, everyone had mixed reactions.

Feng Ye was deep in thought, and Wu Yi was trembling.

He started to tremble after learning that his opponent might be a ghost made by the ghost-faced priest. He was younger, and his body was not that strong.

It was only because the Xiqiang people were selected as generals among the dwarfs, and the rest of the same clan were thinner, so Wu Yi was selected.He didn't even know how to hold the handle of the knife best for exerting strength, let alone fight with some evil spirits.

When he came to the Colosseum, it seemed that there was no way out but death.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the shaking became more and more severe. Batu noticed it and couldn't help comforting him: "You don't have to be so afraid. It takes a lot of energy to refine ghosts. Even if it's a failure, it's not that good. Lian. The last time I fought with evil spirits was more than half a year ago. Let us come to this Colosseum, mostly let us fight with hungry beasts and perform for those noble lords."

Wu Yi was not comforted. He couldn't beat evil spirits, and neither could lions and tigers.He is the same person...Wu Yi looked at Batu's physique. The Batu tribe probably has a racial advantage. Their bones are wider than ordinary people, and they look taller, although they are doing it every day. A slave of hard labor, but if you really want to fight, Wu Yi will definitely not be able to beat Batu.

The same goes for the people around him, but he doesn't have the confidence to win against any man as tall as Wu Yi.

The left and right were also strangers who had just met, and Batu's kindness was limited to a word of consolation, and he didn't say anything more after saying one sentence.

At the same time, I felt in my heart that the people of Wu Yi's tribe were probably born to be so timid, but looking at Feng Ye again, it seemed that it was not the case.

Feng Ye and Wu Yi are of the same clan, and the conversation just now has shown this.But the rest of the newcomers were inevitably a little frightened. Wu Yi's fright was a little exaggerated, but people like Feng Ye who were not frightened at all were a little exaggerated.

Feng Ye frowned and said nothing, even though Wu Yi was trembling beside him, he was immersed in his own thoughts.

No one spoke anymore. They came here in the morning, and the time passed in the afternoon. The exit from the unguarded cage suddenly opened, but it was not the side they walked in when they came in. It was Feng Ye who tried to push it away, but couldn't The stone door was pushed open.

Feng Ye looked at the stone door that was slowly opening, and also saw Batu and others standing up from the ground one after another. He realized that it was time for Batu to say.

When the Colosseum officially opened.
