Chapter 312 Prisoner
Chapter 312 Prisoner
"Master, this is the spiritual fruit wine I brewed myself. Please accept it." Qiqi handed over two bottles of spiritual fruit wine with both hands.
"I smell the wine, it smells really good. I'll take a sip first."
Qiqi poured a glass for Master. He picked up the wine and downed it in one gulp. "It's a good wine, full of spiritual energy. After some purification, this wine can be auctioned. How much of this wine do you have? Give me a few bottles. I'll purify it. There's an auction at the end of the month."
"Master, you are really good at making money. You can auction anything." Qiqi said as he waved his hand and took out more than 20 bottles of fruit wine.
"That's a lot! That's great! Qiqi. Go ahead and do your work. I'll purify it."
Qiqi returned to her residence with the recipe. Zhou Jingze had gone to the backyard of the Dan Pavilion to practice swordplay. He wasn't in the room.
He sat at his desk, studying the recipe intently. His master had altered a few ingredients and added a dozen more. Qiqi watched, admiring his master's abilities.
Is the master the Alchemy King or the Alchemy Master? What level did he reach to be able to perfect the alchemy formula?
Qiqi refined a seventh-grade longevity pill in just a few days, yielding a total of eight. He gave one to his master, and the Pavilion Master happily accepted it.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze said goodbye to their master, and the Pavilion Master said that he would go to the Colosseum with them. They missed the last opening and wasted time in the Dan Pavilion.
The Colosseum is located to the west of Zhao Yong City, and the Spiritual Pill Pavilion is to the east. Today is the third time the Colosseum has opened this month.
They went to the Colosseum together. It was like a stadium, with seats all around. A high wall surrounded the seats. In the center was a circular arena. There were also long chains. They were probably used to restrain the monsters, fearing they might attack and harm the spectators.
There are also private seats in the stands, on which fruits and tea are placed.
The three of them entered the venue in disguise, and had to pay a mid-grade spirit stone to enter. They arrived early, so the seats weren't crowded. Qiqi and Zhou Jingze observed the surrounding layout. Their men were watching over the Colosseum. There were people protecting the Colosseum. There was a powerful being overlooking the entire Colosseum.
Soon the Colosseum was packed, leaving many without seats. It looked like another day of high-stakes gambling. Some won huge fortunes, while others lost so much they couldn't even afford a bun.
Soon a beautiful woman in colorful clothes came out to preside over the Colosseum.
The first match is a battle between demon beasts. If you want to bet, you can go to the stands over there to place your bets.
"This is a fight between a bear king and a wolf king. Release the monster." The woman gave the order.
A wolf howled as it ran down to the field below. Another ferocious roar echoed. A black bear also came running down. The black bear was enormous, standing three meters tall. The wolf king was over two meters tall. Both were muscular and imposing, ready to attack. They were the kings of the forest.
The wolf king jumped at the black bear and they fought each other.
Many people went to place bets. Few won on the wolf king, and most won on the black bear. They all saw that the black bear was big and strong.
The black bear immediately grabbed the wolf's tail. The wolf also bit the black bear's leg, and the black bear tried to throw the wolf king to death. The wolf king held on to his leg tightly and refused to let go. The black bear became even more angry and threw the wolf king with more force. The black bear tore a piece of flesh off the black bear's leg. The wolf king was also thrown far away. He jumped up.
The black bear howled in pain. It ran over and tried to hug the wolf king and bite his neck. The wolf king dodged with a leap. Seizing another opportunity, it bit the black bear's injured leg again. The bone was already exposed. The bite locked onto the bone, and the pain inflicted the black bear, who reached out to grab the wolf king's tail. The wolf king swung his tail at the black bear, striking it on its front paw.
The wolf king bit hard, snapping one of the black bear's hind legs with a thud. With a thud, the black bear fell to the ground. The black bear howled wildly and tried to stand up. The wolf king didn't give it a chance, biting off the black bear's other leg with a ferocious bite. The black bear rolled on the ground, writhing in pain. Seeing the black bear's belly roll, the wolf king seized the opportunity, pinned the black bear down with his paws, and bit it in the belly. In a split second, the black bear's intestines came out.
Seeing the blood, the wolf king bit even more frantically, and soon the black bear was bitten to death.
The wolf king triumphed in this battle. He too lay exhausted on the ground, unwilling to move. The trainer drove him back. The black bear's body was also carried away.
Everyone who placed the bets was dumbfounded, as many people thought Black Bear would win.
The Colosseum won a lot of money this time, and the owner of the Colosseum hummed a little song in delight.
The beautiful woman took the stage again. "Second round. The monster crocodiles fight the condemned prisoners. If the condemned prisoners kill all the crocodiles, we'll release you. Bring the prisoners to the stage." Soon, a dozen condemned prisoners were brought to the stage by guards, their bindings untied, and pushed onto the field.
"Put the crocodiles into the arena." Three crocodiles were released from the iron cage into the arena.
A dozen prisoners gestured with their hands, but no sound came out of their mouths.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze watched this scene. "Master and the others have been poisoned and silenced. It seems they aren't targeting death row prisoners. They're targeting their rival families. They've captured them and brought them to the Colosseum for their amusement," Qiqi said.
"Oh, are they so bold? Then we have to rescue them when we come."
At that moment, the stands erupted in chaos. It seemed as if the family of the condemned man had arrived to rescue them. They rushed downstairs, and the stadium guards intervened. A fight ensued. Many in the stands were stunned. Once they recovered, they fled towards the entrance, wishing they had more legs so they could run as fast as possible.
The crocodiles in the field, no matter how chaotic the stands were, had been hungry for many days. When they saw people crawling over, they opened their mouths and bit them, and more than a dozen people fled in all directions.
Qiqi took advantage of the chaos and came to the edge of the field. She called out to Kong Ling and told him that she had put the crocodiles into the space and asked Kong Ling, the little red bird, and the crocodiles in the space to look after them.
After she finished speaking, she took advantage of the chaos and collected all three crocodiles into the space. No one noticed that it was her who collected them. She also moved to a place with fewer people as if avoiding a fight.
The dozen or so prisoners in the arena were stunned. The crocodiles had suddenly vanished. They finally had time to survey the chaotic arena. They saw that it was their family members who had come to rescue them. A dozen of them joined forces, soaring into the stands and approaching the family members. They seized the guards' swords and spears, swinging them wildly, killing anyone who stood in their way. These dozen or so had been captured by the powerful Zhao family. Now, with only one powerful person guarding the arena, they were surrounded and beaten to death by the powerful people of these families.
Soon the mighty man in the Colosseum was severely injured. He fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth, and it was obvious that he would not survive.
Several families soon joined up with a dozen prisoners, and they fought desperately to get out.
