() When Wood woke up, he was already in another place. This place was also like a dungeon, but it was much cleaner and tidier than the previous place. At least it was not very wet, which made Wood think this was a dungeon.
One thing, it's just as dark here.
Wood looked around and saw that there were many people here, but he couldn't see the head at a glance. It was difficult to tell how many people were here! But one thing was certain, this underground space must be very large.
Just when Wood was thinking, a group of people came in from a distance, led by a man carrying a huge sword on his back. Behind him were about 20 guards, all of whom looked like warriors. The man came in and looked around.
Then he slowly said:
"Hello everyone, I am the guard leader of Gangze Empire Capital Arena. My name is Daniel. You must be wondering why you are here, so I will tell you that there is a brand on your right arm. This brand represents
The mark of a slave."
As soon as the man's words came out, everyone rolled up their sleeves and looked at their right arms, including Wood. When he saw the brand on his right arm, Wood's mind went blank. When was this branded?
Damn! I must kill that slave owner.
After that, the guard leader also rolled up his sleeves. There was also a slave brand on his arm, and he continued:
"I was a slave too."
He had the same brand on his right arm, which surprised Wood. He didn't expect that the guards in the arena also had slave brands on their arms. What kind of world is this?
The guard leader then said:
"It's not terrible to be a slave. What's terrible is that your will has become a slave!"
Wood nodded, and he agreed with this. Then the man waved his hand, and the guard behind him took out a lot of black bread and placed it in the middle. He continued:
"And what you will do is to eat enough, and then fight for life and freedom. In the arena, you will win back what you lost, and the audience will regard you as a hero, but if you don't fight for freedom for yourself,
Then you only have the life of a slave!"
At this time someone interrupted and said:
"What exactly do you want us to do?"
The guard leader continued:
"Fight, there will be a life-and-death battle tomorrow. You have to perform for a big shot. Those who survive will get free from now on. But if you fail, you will only die."
Everyone was quiet at first, but when the first person went to get the brown bread, everyone else also picked up the brown bread and started eating. However, Wood did not move at this time. He was still hesitating whether he should eat or not.
If you don't eat, it will be difficult for you to survive today. But if you eat, your will will become a slave, so Wood didn't eat.
Just then the captain of the arena guard walked up to Wood and asked:
"Why don't you eat?"
Wood looked up at the man and sneered in response. The arena guard chief was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"I like you, but if you don't have a full stomach, you will die miserably tomorrow!"
Wood said coldly:
"Who knows if there is a magic potion in your food!"
The captain of the arena guard was stunned again, and then he laughed for a while, then lifted Wood up with one hand and walked out of the place. Only then did Wood realize that he should have been under the arena just now, and
Now the man lifted Wood into a room. The room was not big, but it had everything. What interested Wood the most was that the table in the middle was filled with food. After putting Wood down, the man said:
"Come and sit down, let's eat together, my food can't have potions in it!"
Wood looked at the food on the table and swallowed, but still looked at him warily, while the arena guard chief said with a smile:
"Hey, the reason why I brought you here is because I was the same as you back then. Even we both said the same thing. It is because of the persistence in my heart that I am alive now!"
When Wood heard what he said, his guard became slightly relaxed. Wood sat opposite the man and asked:
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"Hahaha!" the arena guard said with a wild smile:
"You don't have that ability yet!"
But after laughing, the man began to sigh, and his expression seemed to be very regretful, and then he continued:
"Tomorrow all of you will face a life-or-death battle, so hurry up and eat! I can only do so much for you!"
Wood still didn't move, and the man seemed to see Wood's expression. He smiled and picked up the food on the table and started eating. Only then did Wood eat with confidence. After this period of starvation, Wood's originally good body
, now completely skin and bones, he couldn't stop when he took the first bite. Almost all the food on the table was eaten by Wood. It's hard to imagine where he put so much food.
!
After Wood burped with satisfaction, he stood up respectfully and saluted the man, and then said:
"The kindness of a drop of water will definitely be repaid by a spring of water in the future!"
The man was still feeling sorry for Wood, but after hearing what he said, his expression was obviously stunned, but it was also a moment of absence, and then the man sent Wood back to the previous place and back to his room.
After rummaging around for a while and finding all his gold coins, he decisively went out.
The captain of the arena guard then came to a luxurious room in the arena. After knocking on the door and entering, the person inside was the fat man who went to the arena to buy slaves. When the man saw the fat man, he didn't talk nonsense. He said directly:
"Sir, I want to ask you something!"
The fat man glanced at him disdainfully and said:
"Say! But I may not be able to agree!"
The warrior sighed in his heart and said:
"Sir, I want to use all my property to buy a slave!"
The fat man looked stunned and said:
"Slaves want to buy slaves. This is the funniest joke I have ever heard, haha! You are stupid! There may not be enough people for tomorrow's game, and you are still causing trouble for me here, get out!"
The soldier took out all the gold coins and was about to speak when he heard another "Get out!"
There was no other way. The warrior could only sigh and slowly retreat. He knew his identity in the arena. He was born as a slave. Although he made a lot of money for the arena, he still had no status. This was also his
Sad, but he can leave at any time, which is also his freedom, but he still has a very important thing to do.
When he saw Wood today, he felt that this child was very similar to himself back then. Ten years ago, he was only 18 years old and had just graduated from the college course. He was about to go home when he was knocked unconscious on the way, and then...
Sold here as slaves.
Back then, I was the same as this child. Whether it was their demeanor or the words they said, they all had a common characteristic, that is, they would not give in. Later, in a match with a huge disparity in strength, they miraculously survived.
At that time, his fate in the arena changed, but he did not choose to leave because he wanted revenge, so he endured humiliation in the arena for 10 years just to find out the slave group.
When he saw Wood today, his already cold heart began to melt again. At that moment, it seemed that he felt the pain he had suffered. When the child said, "The kindness of a drop of water will definitely be repaid by a spring in the future."
At that time, he suddenly felt that he could give it a try, but he still failed. No matter how hard he tried, he was still a slave in the arena.
The soldier inadvertently walked to this place full of people. He looked at the young man hiding in the corner quietly outside. He suddenly felt a kind of sadness in his heart, but this sadness made his will become stronger.
The mysterious slave group must eradicate it!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he should do something for them. Then he walked in and looked at everyone and said:
"Everyone, listen, what I'm going to say next may save your lives tomorrow. Remember it all!"
Everyone became interested at this time, especially Wood. Just now, he had been thinking about what tomorrow's battle meant. Then the captain of the arena guard came in. Wood had no doubt at all about what he was about to say, so
