Monster Minotaur

Thunder Bluff has a large arena. This is something that everyone who comes to Thunder Bluff will know almost immediately. Although the various emerging ball games are also fun, the activity that is most suitable for the Salts and gray dwarves is the bloody monster wrestling.

The original arena in Thunder Bluff was not very big. Mo Yan created it just for fun, with only a simple venue and less than 500 seats. However, as Thunder Bluff continues to develop and the number of spectators continues to increase, the original venue is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of residents. So we had to choose a new address and build a new one near the newly built stadium tube.

The new arena is a huge circular structure. The foundation is made of a large number of square stones, which are then joined together with Thunder Bluff's unique cement. The arena consists of a series of circular arcades with three floors. It uses a large number of white stone columns and is equipped with rain covers for the auditorium. There are independent boxes on the third floor.

The venue used for performances in the new arena is an oblong shape. The earth-yellow ground is covered with a layer of golden sand to better cleanse the blood. Monsters or humans in the arena fight here. , and then died here amid cheers or surprise.

Such an arena can accommodate up to 10,000 people to watch performances, and is equipped with various service facilities. Not only can it provide special arena food, but you can also buy some cute monster puppets. During every seven days off, Sometimes you can still see puppets played by humans soliciting customers at the door.

Of course, this series of modern amusement park-style businesses could not have been thought up by these locals. The operator of the arena has always been the tauren who lives in the white castle as the ruler of the entire city. Moreover, the appearance of the new Colosseum was completely copied. No matter from which direction, the new Colosseum was the same as the Colosseum in Rome, but it was much smaller.

This arena, named the Demon Arena, is one of the most famous entertainment facilities in Thunder Bluff and throughout Elam. Even the rich and powerful from other cities will come here to watch the performance in the Demon Fighting Arena. The boxes on the third floor have become a symbol of status. Those who can go up there to watch the performance have paid a lot of money. Fee's price.

Recently, the Demon Arena has even launched a betting service. Every monster that takes part in the battle is numbered and given a domineering-sounding nickname. It is posted on the notice board outside the Demon Arena the day before the fight begins, so that People who come to the Demon Arena to watch the show the next day can place bets on the monsters they like.

Some smart people in Thunder Bluff even started to produce some atlases analyzing the combat power of monsters, and they sold very well in Thunder Bluff, and they were sold out almost every day. And in such a mixed place, scoundrels are bound to appear. Although there are special guards in the Demon Fighting Arena, these unemployed vagrants do not dare to do anything excessive, but theft and fraud occur every day.

At this time, at the betting place of the Demon Arena, a short and fat Salt man was giving a warm introduction to someone who seemed to be coming to the Demon Arena for the first time. The crowd passed by them quickly, and it was almost time to start. They had to buy the monsters they were optimistic about quickly. Once the deadline for placing bets came, they could only wait for tomorrow.

I have inside information. The short, fat Salt man's shrewd eyes stared at the middle-aged man who came to the Demon Arena for the first time. He looked around as if he was afraid that others would hear what he said. , stepped on his feet and said cautiously: I am responsible for cleaning the monster lounge in the Demon Arena. I come into contact with those monsters every day. I understand their current state.

Then why don't you buy it yourself? The middle-aged man obviously had a certain degree of vigilance. He looked at the short and fat Salt man and asked: If you had such a reliable source of information, you would have made a fortune long ago by constantly placing bets. Right? Why tell me the news? The middle-aged man can be considered a person who has traveled to many places. Although it was his first time to come to the Demon Fighting Arena in Thunder Bluff, he was not fooled by the news of getting rich.

We have regulations. Anyone who works in the Demon Arena cannot place bets here. The short and fat Salt man smiled and said: Those responsible for selling betting tickets all know us. , I can’t show my face in front of them. And as I said, I’m just telling you the information and I won’t take your money in advance. If you don’t win, you won’t lose anything, right?”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment after listening to the words of the short, fat Salt man. He felt that there was really no risk, so he decided to listen to the words of the short, fat Salt man and buy what he wanted to buy according to the number he provided. It's not much. If you don't win, you won't lose much. .

Hehe... Another one took the bait. The pudgy Salt man watched the middle-aged man walk to the place where the bet was placed, took out a few silver coins and started to place bets, a smile of successful conspiracy appeared on his face. Although this is a very simple fraud, if you don't understand the reason, you can easily be deceived and have no idea why.

This kind of person who specializes in picking out unfamiliar people at the betting place is called an instructor by knowledgeable people nearby. They did not have any special source of information as he claimed. The so-called winning number of the monster was just what they said casually.

After all, there are only a few monsters participating in the competition. They only need to find these people who have just come to the Demon Fighting Arena, or are not familiar with them in the Demon Fighting Arena, and let them purchase all the monster numbers in turn. One person will win and get the prize. And when the winners go to claim their bonuses, they will wait there and ask for their share. In this way, they can almost share a large amount of bonuses without placing any bets at all.

Soon, most of the audience has taken their seats, and the monster battle in the Demon Arena is about to begin. Although the Arena of Demons is still open during the rainy season, it has been greatly affected by the heavy rain. Today's battle is the first large-scale performance after the end of the rainy season. Several monsters that are already familiar to the audience will also appear on the stage today to fight.

The first gladiatorial battle began soon. Today's special opening was a battle between three hundred goblins equipped with simple weapons and armors and a tauren without any protection and holding dual-wielding battle axes. Although the goblins are not good at fighting and are even timid, even one or two Salt warriors with a number of three hundred will find it difficult, but it is precisely because of this that they are somewhat interesting.

The tauren who appeared was not an ordinary person. He had already performed hundreds of performances in the Demon Fighting Arena, so he could be said to have experienced hundreds of battles. After the tauren named Chief came out of the preparation room of the Demon Arena, he did not rush towards the trembling goblins who simply formed a formation in the venue.

Now he is no longer the rookie who just came to the Demon Arena. He understands that what he is doing is a performance and not a normal battle. He strikes the two steel battle axes in his hands with each other, making a crisp and clear sound. Loud sound. He walked slowly around the field at a leisurely pace, raising his hand to greet everyone who cheered for him.

A feeling in his heart that he had never felt before, echoing in his chest, what humans generally call glory and pride. This feeling made the chief feel extremely comfortable, and even made him like these humans who before he came to Thunder Bluff, they were all regarded as food.

Every man or woman in the audience, holding the betting tickets in their hands, shouted the chief's name loudly and cheered for his appearance. Some people who came to the Demon Arena for the first time were also infected by the emotions of other excited spectators, and their moods were surging with excitement.

However, just when the chief finished showing off and was about to start tearing apart the goblins in front of him, a huge shadow covered the entire sky. A huge object that had never been seen before appeared in the sky above the Demon Fighting Arena. Thick steam erupted from the whistle and made a loud noise, forming white mist in the air and flying away.

If it weren't for the bright red Thunder Bluff flag icon on top of this long columnar object, which let the audience know that this was a product of Thunder Bluff, everyone would probably be frightened and run away. Soon the manager in charge of the Demon Fighting Arena received a message from the SS.

Use the amplification magic in the field to announce to all spectators the names and functions of objects in the air, and ask them to remain calm and restrained and continue to watch the game in the field. Among this thing called an airship, the controller of Thunder Bluff is inside, and he is just here to watch the show.

The audience who understood the object in the sky put down their worries, but no one had the intention to watch the performance. They were all distracted by the airship in the sky. Everyone was guessing about this huge thing. How did the thing fly into the sky, and why did it emit such steam? What kind of magical instrument did the seemingly omnipotent city lord come up with?

After tearing apart the last goblin with his hands, the chief poured blood all over his head, roared with his eyes closed, and waited for the expected cheers. But there was silence in the Demon Fighting Arena, which made him open his eyes and look at the auditorium strangely, only to find that everyone was looking up at the sky. He couldn't help but throw the goblin's body to the ground angrily, and turned around angrily. Lounge.

His brain, which is not very intelligent, doesn't understand why the audience doesn't pay attention to him. In his eyes, isn't the airship in the sky just a big cloud? I really don’t know what’s good to watch. Could it be more exciting than my own performance? Although there seems to be a pattern similar to the Thunder Bluff flag on this cloud.
