Iron Age

Liu Ziguang was dragged out by the warriors, tied his hands and feet with cowhide ropes, and thrown into a carriage. The carriage with black curtains walked on the stone road for a long time, as if he had entered a large house. Liu Ziguang was brought out, looking suspiciously around.

There are two rows of low stone houses, with the doors sealed by thick iron fences. In one row, a man with a strong figure and cold eyes is lying or sitting. All kinds of ferocious beasts pounced on the iron gate.

Could this be the legendary gladiator camp?

It is said that bloody and cruel gladiatorial competitions are often held inside the ironworks. Gladiators who have undergone rigorous training are used to fight for life and death, or fight between fighters, or fight with beasts, or cavalry against infantry, or with few against many, All kinds of tricks emerge one after another, anyway, everything is done according to the wishes of the adults.

The sources of gladiators are vicious death row prisoners. These cruel and ruthless villains have been trained by professional coaches and can skillfully use various weapons and understand the vital parts of the human body. The adults believe that only trained gladiators fight It's only worth seeing when you get up.

The average career lifespan of a gladiator is no more than three months.Only super-strong characters can be purchased by merchants and princes from all over the audience who often come to the iron factory to purchase as guards.Since it was a competition, of course it would be interesting if there were some big wins. The spectators often spent a lot of money to gamble. In this way, the casino became the dealer and the sale of fighters became a tertiary industry with a good income for the iron factory.

Liu Ziguang was thrown into one of the row of short houses, the iron door was locked with a bang, and the second lady in pink came over with a smile: "9527, you killed my black tiger first, and then saved me again, So I can't kill you. From today on, you are the exclusive fighter of this lady. Seeing that you can fight so well, you don't need to train. Let's start the game tomorrow. I borrowed the spirit mastiff to fight with you, but it's very good for you Oh face."

Without waiting for Liu Ziguang to react, the second young lady went away Shi Shiran.

Ling mastiff, that is Tibetan mastiff, that animal is very stupid, what is the word "spirit", what's wrong with me recently, I always deal with canines.Liu Ziguang thought.

In the evening of the next day two warriors came into the room, put irons on him, and led him out by chains.

After passing through a tunnel made of bricks, he came to a stone room. One person untied his iron shackles, took out an iron collar, buckled it around his neck, and wrapped him with a thick cowhide belt. Second Miss wanted him to suffer more, so that he could not be bitten to death all at once, so a two-foot-long short knife was stuffed into her hand, and the man opened another exit of the stone room, and pushed Liu Ziguang out.

This is a circular field, surrounded by two-meter-high walls, inlaid with iron plates, so smooth that it is impossible to climb up, and the field is surrounded by door openings.There are stands above the surrounding walls, just a pirated version of the Colosseum, Liu Ziguang thought.

There were densely packed spectators sitting in the stands, eating snacks, teasing and laughing, protected by warriors with long-handled iron knives, and the flames of lighting lamps fueled by blast furnace gas were flickering.

The second lady was sitting in a private seat in the stands, the handsome Yu Xiaolong was waiting on her side, a few pretty maids were carrying fruits, and the jug was standing behind them.On the rest of the seats, there are fair-skinned, graceful and luxurious ladies, young ladies, and young masters, all dressed in gold and silver, adorned with jewels.Chatting noisyly, no one paid attention to Liu Ziguang standing in the field.

The second lady stood up, pressed her small hands around, and said softly: "Everyone, calm down, today I borrowed Uncle Yu's spirit mastiff, and I will deal with this villain who killed our black tiger. Everyone will give the spirit mastiff to you." Cheer up. In addition, if you buy a spirit mastiff and win, hurry up and place a bet."

There was a noisy sound of betting and throwing chips and the call of buying and leaving.

The second lady gestured to the samurai at the side, and with the opening of an iron gate in the arena, a black giant beast rolled out like a dark cloud.

It was clearly a black lion, with a ring-shaped crown, and the domineering aura of a king made people shudder. The mastiff flew towards Liu Ziguang without stopping, and the stands screamed.

Liu Ziguang stood in a lunge, with one of his back legs resting firmly on a half-foot-high metal perforated ledge in the middle of the field, holding the short knife tightly with both hands, and holding it above his head, the whole body People stretched into a straight line.

The spirit mastiff jumped over the head, blood flowed from the chin to the stomach, and was cut open by the sharp short knife.

The spirit mastiff twitched a few times, and there was no sound. There was no sound in the stands. After a long while, the second lady slapped her hands cracklingly, and smiled: "It's fun, fun, what kind of spirit mastiff, it's obviously a stupid dog. 9527 is quite smart. I underestimated you because you were fighting with fierce beasts."

Liu Ziguang has been thinking about ways to deal with ferocious beasts all day. When he was in junior high school, an article called Huizhou Tang Dahu reminded him that only in this way can he have a chance. A mastiff can kill three wolves at the same time. Although he has undergone some training, he is far away. He can't compare to a ruthless character like Wu Song, so there is another necessary condition that he must have a sharp blade. Fortunately, someone gave him a knife just now, and it was a very good steel knife.Only in this way did he luckily kill the spirit mastiff.I was secretly afraid in my heart, and my back was already covered in cold sweat.

Realizing the financial resources that 9527 may bring, the second lady turned her head and said a few words to Xiaolong. Hearing this, Yu Xiaolong stood up and shouted to Liu Ziguang: "9527, the second lady will give you a chance to survive, as long as you In the following competitions, if I don't let the second lady down, I will consider giving you freedom."

"Freedom, such a strange word." Liu Ziguang's heart was moved, the smell of dog blood in the air stimulated his nerves, for freedom, kill!

The warrior on the sidelines threw a long knife at Liu Ziguang's feet, "Use this to kill your opponent later, and you will win."

The opponent is a novice who is playing for the first time, about ten years old, with calm eyes and a steel knife in his hand.Cold eyes, like the pupils of a poisonous snake.Seems like a tough character.

The two faced each other, their eyes were facing each other, looking for each other's flaws, the opponent's footsteps began to move sideways, the steel knife in his hand was playing beautifully, Liu Ziguang did not move, and the corner of his eyes noticed the opponent's flying wrist.

A sharp leg sweep.

When the legs arrive, the knife flies.

When Liu Ziguang's knife slit the opponent's throat, the knife that flew out was still trembling slightly on the pillar of the stand.

Adding the leg sweeping, only two moves were used.

, the stands applauded, and the second lady laughed wildly: "Hee hee, what a fast knife." A few servants with loud voices specially called behind them applauded with all their strength.

Yu Yu at the side slapped his hands and encouraged the second miss: "Second miss, your fighter is so powerful, why don't we see how many games he can win in a row today."

"Okay, okay, call all the fighters and fight my 9527 one by one, let you see how powerful the fighters I made are."

So Liu Ziguang was very lucky today, and won the next two matches. One of the two opponents was seriously injured and the other died. He also paid the price, with a wound on his chest and right leg.The white coarse cloth robe was stained red by the blood of the opponent and her own, and the second young lady's happy little hands turned red, "I will call you the general in red from now on."

Yu Xiaolong next to him pointed to Liu Ziguang and said, "I still don't thank Miss for giving me the name."

Liu Ziguang bowed his hands to the stands, thinking to himself, the general in red is treating Lao Tzu as a cannon, no, why do I think it is more like the name of a cricket.

Yu Yu said: "Second Miss, seeing that your general in red is injured, do you want to continue the competition?"

The second lady's lovely eyes widened. "Competition, of course it is a competition. It's only been three matches. How many people are left? Come one by one. I think he still has a lot of energy to use up."

During normal training, several brothers took turns to go into battle, without giving Liu Ziguang a moment's rest, they often undid their moves for hundreds of rounds in a row, and now it came in handy, after a short rest.Liu Ziguang managed to win two more rounds, almost exhausted, coupled with the excessive blood loss, he began to feel that the steel knife in his hand was extremely heavy.

The people in the stands were very excited. It was hard to see so many games in a row. The people who bet on Liu Ziguang were even happier. The cheerleaders composed of several loud servants shouted that the general in red will win. !must win!The atmosphere was quite warm, no one cared about the blood dripping from Liu Zi's bare feet, it was his own blood.

Already five of them fell under the knife, and the second lady realized that such a match was meaningless, so she ordered Yu Yu: "Is there any stronger opponent? How about the general in red?"

There was silence all around.

Seeing that no one came forward, the second lady was upset, and ordered Yu, must find a good fighter to fight again today, otherwise no one will leave.

"My family has a good hand. I don't know how many tricks I can do under the second young lady's general in red." The person who spoke was the director of the steelmaking branch of the iron factory, a dark man.He rushed to the people and waved, and brought my giant spirit god over to experience the power of the general in red. "The surroundings were amazed. Giant Spirit God is the champion who has won three consecutive times. He has never lost. Now he no longer participates in the competition casually. He only ends when there is a big bet. Everyone bets one after another. The odds are: the general in red vs the giant Spirit of God 1:10.

The second lady was very unconvinced, pouted, and bet 500 taels of silver.

Buy it and leave it, with a yell, the chaotic betting ends.Waiting for the gong to kick off.

The Giant Spirit God is a tall giant, as tall as 1.9 meters ten, and looks close to three hundred catties. He is holding a big axe. Liu Ziguang feels cold in his heart. The opponent is too strong.

The giant man obviously held the same opinion, he grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, his naked chest was covered with black hair, and the big ax in his hand was extremely heavy, but it was no different from a toy in his hand.

With the sound of a gong, the competition started. The giant man waved his ax and smashed it with the momentum of shaking the earth. Liu Ziguang didn't dare to resist, but relying on his quick feet, he dodged all over the field. The trace of the ax blade, the audience saw that Liu Ziguang just ran away, booed everywhere.

If you run like this, there will always be a time when you run out of strength, and then you will be slaughtered, and you will die on both sides, it is better to fight to the death. The giant man is tall and fat, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Only by attacking him can he have a chance Opportunity, made up his mind, Liu Ziguang pretended to be wrong, turned his body, and fell to the ground on his back. Seeing the opportunity coming, the giant man roared, and the big ax slashed at him. Next to him, he swung the knife and hit the giant man's ankle. His strength was insufficient and he failed to cut off the ankle.

The giant man suddenly stopped in his tracks, his vicious eyes fixed on Liu Ziguang, Liu Ziguang no longer dodged, and greeted him without fear. Coming over, Liu Ziguang flashed, the ax passed by with the sound of the wind, the giant's body pressed over like a mountain, and Liu Ziguang's knife greeted him.The giant man slashed at the giant man's shoulder, and the giant man laughed wildly. He squeezed Liu Ziguang's hand holding the knife, easily took the knife in his hand, and threw it aside. The other hand held the clothes on Liu Ziguang's chest, and lifted him off the ground.

He slammed hard towards the wall.

Liu Ziguang was thrown to the ground, his chest and abdomen were in severe pain, probably a few ribs were broken, and a circle of gold stars appeared in front of his eyes, the giant man came, and he was mentioned again, ready to repeat the action just now, Liu Ziguang hung In mid-air, he kicked out with all his strength, hitting the vital part of the giant man's lower body.Then with both hands clear, two handfuls of sand flew onto the giant man's eyes.

The giant man screamed, let go, and covered his eyes. Liu Ziguang fell from mid-air, rolled on the spot, grabbed the steel knife in his hand, and jumped behind the giant man. With two slashes, the ligaments of both feet of the giant man were severed, and his huge body Kneel down.

The steel knife has cut countless gaps in the continuous fierce battle, and it is not so sharp due to the hot blood. Liu Ziguang grabbed the giant man's hair and chopped it like chopping firewood. With a burst of exclamation, he cut off the giant man's head half-cut and half-cut like this.

Liu Ziguang was covered in blood, holding a bloody steel knife in one hand, and holding up the head of the giant man with the other, showing it to the audience in the stands, like a god of death.

Applause roared.

The second young lady looked triumphantly at the huge pile of winning chips in front of her, and used the chips to build building blocks on the small table.

Yu Yu asked: "Second Miss, do you want to compare?"

"Bi, I haven't won enough yet. Who else has a fighter who can fight? Don't be as superficial as that giant spirit god."

"Second Miss, listen to me, 9527 is already very weak now, any ordinary fighter can knock him down. It's a pity to lose such a good fighter, not to mention losing with so many chips. Second Miss, think twice."

Looking at the crumbling Liu Ziguang and the chips that formed a small castle in front of him, the second lady hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Okay, that's all for today."

Liu Ziguang tried his best not to let himself fall down. In fact, his physical strength was severely overdrawn, and he bled too much. He didn't know how many ribs were broken, and he didn't know how many other large and small wounds.Hearing this sentence now, the whole person suddenly collapsed on the ground.
