C328 – Hit the Road
Posted on January 11, 2019 by AzureOrchid92
As they walked down the steps, the surroundings started to look dark and empty, with the windows above their heads giving limited light.
There were a lot of slaves from the three big cities around here, presumably to prevent accidents.
Seeing Shao Xuan, those people stopped to ask, and heard that he was next to play. They saw Ai Shi take out a piece of wood from the Luoye City king, then simply put them aside and also reminded them. “You can’t go in now. You have to wait as there are Baishi people inside.”
Shao Xuan looked past the channel’s mouth. Indeed there stood a dozen Baishi people. Shao Xuan wanted to see if Lei and Tuo were in the channel too but before he got close, he was stopped.
Both Baishi and Luoye City had had many grudges and fights before, so Ai Shi restrained Shao Xuan down when he also called the other people following after them. Now, both sides in this channel mouth were having a confrontation.
“Is there anyone else in the next game?” Shao Xuan asked loudly. If Lei and Tuo were in the channel, they would respond.
Sure enough, after Shao Xuan’s voice fell, Tuo’s voice was heard from the passage, “Ah-Xuan?!”
Presumably, Tuo was about to come out, but he was stopped.
“Ah-Xuan, what are you doing here? Get out of here!” Tuo shouted.
“What are you shouting?!” There was a succession of voices coming from the Baishi City area, then there was the sound of fighting.
Shao Xuan eyes was sternly looking at the nearest Baishi person’s foot.
This foot was like a line separating Baishi and Luoye City on both sides. When the two sides looked at each other, they immediately fought.
The guards of the three great cities were shouting and running, brutally pulling the two sides apart. When the two sides finally came to a truce because of the guards of the three great cities, Shao Xuan had already entered the passage.
Inside the channel, the light was darker but was enough for Shao Xuan to see the situation inside.
Tuo stood against the wall. Perhaps he just had a short encounter with the Baishi people, he was standing there panting. Beside Tuo, Lei sat on the ground and it seemed that his situation was not good.
Afterwards, he checked that the situation of Tuo’s life was not dangerous at the moment with only a few broken ribs and injured internal organs. He took out some medicine in his person to apply to Tuo and Lei. Then, Shao Xuan looked at the other people around.
Yes, there were four people Shao Xuan knew inside, in addition to Lei and Tuo. Two from the Yu tribe and two from Tian Shan tribe. All four people have different injuries. In addition to them, there were four slaves with whiplash wounds, one with the wrists cut. It was estimated that it was a slave who was guilty of a sin punished by the Baishi.
Shao Xuan had only known before that the wooden box the Baishi people had had many people. He was not sure whether Lei and Tuo were in there. Now, it seemed that not only Lei and Tuo were there, but also four other tribe members and sinned slaves!!
Including Lei and Tuo, Baishi had prepared a total of ten people for the fourth game to fight, to be exact, as the victim of the prepared fourth game. After all, if one took these ten people’s present state, there was no way they could beat a specially prepared fighting beast.
At this time, Tuo told Shao Xuan about the day they were caught. Because the two saw the Yu and Tian Shan tribe people captured, they fell into the trap Baishi City had set.
“And,” Tuo’s expression was changing, “Ah-Xuan, I saw a sign that the Wanshi tribe was there that day.”
That the Wanshi tribe and the slave owners have relations, this Shao Xuan had long known. It was just that he did not think that the connection was with the Baishi people. Were they related?
“In addition to these, we also… also saw Dao Yu.” Tuo spoke like he couldn’t bear to mention it. “I tried to beat him together with Lei, but Lei’s body’s injury was done by Dao Yu that time.”
To be beaten like that by a once traitor turned wanderer, Lei and Tuo felt like they had lost face in front of the Flaming Horns tribe Shaman and chief. Now, in front of Shao Xuan, their heads were also down low.
“Now is not the time to say this. Hurry up and take good care of yourselves firat.” Shao Xuan said.
What Tuo and Lei still wanted to say was stopped by Shao Xuan. The remaining herbs Shao Xuan brought was then given to the other people.
The four people of the Yu tribe and the Tianshan tribe were not very well, especially the two people of the Yu tribe. They were young and have never experienced such a thing, so they were uneasy and dejected. Even if the Tianshan tribe people have their bows and arrows, they would still feel their confidence drop. They had joined the long journey team thinking that there was a chance they may die, but they never thought it would be in the face of such a situation.
Beast City… They would rather be eaten in the desert by wild beasts than to die in such a place in humiliation. Suicide? They didn’t have the guts.
Lei and Tuo have the courage to commit suicide, but they were not willing to do it. Was it not a fight with a beast? Then, they would fight and fight! For them, fighting was better than suicide.
From the battlefield door, the sound of the fighting beast was clearly spread to the ears of the people inside, and their hearts shivered with it. The legs of a young warrior from the Yu tribe were shaking after their experience. If they had been in the desert, they would have been howling out of pressure.
Escape from here? Not that they haven’t thought about, but, at the end of the tunnel, there were layers of guards. Above, the archers were ready, so they could not break out. And how many of them were here? There’s not even a stone in their hands! How do they fight? Or were they looking for death?
The vibration of the door was getting smaller and smaller, not as fierce as before. After a few wailings of the beast, the people became aware that the third game’s end was imminent.
When all had settled down, the air in the passage could be heard, and even everyone’s breath sounded clear.
The wind blew over with decay and blood. The chills making the people more nervous.
There were no more talk before a team of men with weapons came to the entrance.
It was led by a person wearing a malicious smile, pointing at Shao Xuan with his spear tip. “It’s time to go in!”
That sounded like “it’s time to hit the road.”
Rumble—
The heavy slate door opened, and the glare of the light made the people inside the passage raise their hands up.
Although some sand would be replaced after each game in the field, the bloody remains of the previous battle beasts couldn’t all be erased.
Behind, the guards urged them to go to the battlefield. If they didn’t move, a knife was positioned on their backs, but was then blocked by Shao Xuan.
The guard who had his knife blocked was thinking of getting two more knives, when Shao Xuan spoke. “Why, you want to go in with us?”
The guard took a step back. He didn’t want to go in and fight the beast.
Shao Xuan did not look at the others and went into the battlefield followed by Lei and Tuo. The four people from the Yu tribe and Tian Shan tribe looked at each other and could only move a foot forward. The last four slaves were being kicked into the battlefield by the guards.
The heavy stone gate closing then blocked their way back.
Peng!
From the top of the grandstand, there dropped more than ten stone knives. The knife edge grinding was still sharp. The stone was good, medium and fine.
The people who entered then grabbed a knife in their hands.
On the opposite side of the battlefield, the stone gate was opened with a bang. A giant beast with a conical thorn walked slowly passed the entrance.
At the same time, in another part of the Colosseum where the beast fight was connected, there was a tall building where there were a variety of fighting beasts that were about to take part in the Colosseum. They were kept separate. In one of the single rooms in which a fighting beast was closed in, a beetle broke out.
Sapphire to the rescue?! （-“”-；) But please give him another name Ah-Xuan!
