Chapter 114 Ancient God Arena
puff!
After getting out of the water, Gu Chen spit out all the seawater in his mouth.
While gasping for breath, he felt like a fool for trying to suffocate himself to death.
This is different from being killed by a monster or death caused by other external forces.
The 10% pain feedback in the game can make death caused by these external forces not as unbearable as imagined.
Even though I was scared at the time, for some reason I felt happy every time after being resurrected, and I didn’t feel any discomfort or depression when I thought about it.
But the feeling of suffocation is not pain, and 90% of the feedback cannot be blocked. Even if he knows that this is just a game, the process of trying to suffocate will give him a strong desire to survive.
I couldn't help but surface and gasp for breath.
After trying several times in succession, he completely gave up on this stupid way of dying.
"Guide, is there any other way?" Gu Chen looked up at the guide floating beside him, trying to ask for help.
[Yes, starve to death! 】
"It is not more unbearable than drowning."
This time the guide didn't answer, but looked at him as if he were a fool.
Realizing that the guidance was of no help, Gu Chen decided to dive down and continue looking for the ferocious big fish, hoping to die.
Dive into the sea and dive downwards.
There was a large amount of coral growing nearby, but most of the fish wandering nearby were low-level hunting fish. When he saw him approaching, he decisively flicked his tail and left without giving him a chance to get closer.
After a search, Gu Chen, who couldn't find the target, surfaced again and took a big breath.
At this moment, he discovered that a strange aircraft that looked like a motorboat was floating in the sky above his head.
It is visually estimated to be about thirty meters long and more than ten meters wide. The overall structure is full of strange mechanical structures and carvings of unknown symbols. The shell is not metal, but a translucent material with a faint blue light, which seems to capture the surroundings. The weak light is converted into energy, giving him an illusion of both lightness and weight.
Two irregular-shaped propellers are installed at the tail of the aircraft. They rotate rapidly in an almost silent manner, providing forward momentum for this behemoth. Whenever the propellers cut through the air, they will leave a trail of light blue. The trajectory, on the belly of the aircraft, is a closed door, inlaid with a crystal-like object that shines with strange light, like a firefly, flickering brightly and dimly as the airship moves.
The analysis function was turned on, and a large amount of information suddenly poured into Gu Chen's mind.
【Hunter aircraft】：
Target introduction: A flying tool used by the ancient gods to capture competitive fighters, controlled by the slaves of the ancient gods.
……
At this moment, a gap opened under the aircraft, and an energy rope shot towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Due to conditioned reflex, Gu Chen wanted to dodge, but he had no time to dodge.
After the rope wrapped around his body several times, it suddenly tightened and straightened, dragging him towards the gap.
Entering the gap, your vision was shrouded in darkness, and you could only hear the clatter of gears turning, followed by the sound of heavy metal falling.
The energy rope on his body also dissipated at this time.
Gu Chen groped around and found that he was imprisoned in a small metal container and could not even squat down.
"Fuck, it's even worse!" As he said that, Gu Chen looked at the guidance water ball still floating beside him:
"Guide, is this a hidden mission?"
[Not sure, maybe. 】
"You don't have any inside information?"
[I am just a guide for newbies, not omniscient and omnipotent. Why don’t you ask me whether your wife is pregnant with a boy or a girl. 】
"Hey, how did you know that my wife is pregnant."
[Guess. 】
Unable to get help from the guide, Gu Chen fell into deep thought.
There are two options before him now, to free himself through self-mutilation, or to wait for the subsequent plot to unfold.
Thinking that he was very lucky today and successfully caught an Origin Monster in sea fishing, he immediately gave up his first idea.
The dark environment was a bit depressing, so he called up the guild chat channel to communicate with his relatives and friends about his current situation.
Hearing that he might have triggered a hidden mission, the group of relatives and friends seemed a little hysterical, crying that he had got this good luck all by himself.
Subsequently, groups of relatives and friends asked him to turn on the live broadcast function and wanted to follow the subsequent development of the plot.
Gu Chen did not refuse and decisively started the live broadcast mode.
In addition to groups of friends and family, there were also bored players who entered the live broadcast room, saw the darkness and then quickly left.
This process was extremely long. Gu Chen passed the time by chatting with his friends and relatives. During this period, he could also hear the sounds of collisions and fighting made by the friends and relatives as they fought fiercely against the insect swarm.
Three hours later, I suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness.
Gu Chen immediately realized that the plot had advanced.
He could feel that the metal box in which he was imprisoned was being transported to a certain area, bumping along the way.
Soon after, the metal box was opened, and the dazzling light made him squint subconsciously.
Click!
There was a sound of metal biting, and Gu Chen felt a pain in his right forearm. He looked down and found a black bracelet on his wrist.
He had seen this thing in the live broadcast room of the Buzhuan Group. It was a special device that could suppress strength.
What follows is a strong feeling of weakness, very much like the feeling when exiting a game.
"Come out!"
His eyes quickly adjusted to the bright light, and he could clearly see the face of the speaking figure.
It is nearly three meters tall. Its body is made of metal fragments, broken rocks, and flesh and blood. Every inch of skin on its body reveals a sense of brutal power. When it breathes, the metal and rocks on its surface squirm with the flesh and blood, and its body resembles It was a running machine, making a low roar, like the breathing of an ancient beast, shaking the surrounding space. On top of its head was a pair of horns, one of which was broken in half.
At this time, he was holding a bone spur chain in his hand and looking at him coldly, giving Gu Chen a strong visual impact.
It's not easy to mess with at first glance.
He complained in his mind, but he still walked out of the metal box obediently.
Looking around, it was a field covered with grass, with dried blood remaining on the ground, and a faint smell of blood filling the air.
At this time, figures were also coming out of other metal boxes. They were all intelligent beings from different races, and their expressions looked extremely frightened.
Gu Chen's eyes finally returned to the burly monster, and his analytical ability turned on:
【Barbarian slave】：
Hunting level: 139
Target introduction: Servant of the Ancient Gods, responsible for supervising the operation of the Death Arena.
……
Just when Gu Chen was surprised by Man Nu's terrifying hunting level, Man Nu raised his foot and chopped the ground.
Suddenly a bloody light swept across their bodies. Gu Chen suddenly felt a stinging pain in his right forearm. When he looked down, a complex symbol appeared on it.
In parsed information, this symbol represents the number: 0.
Man Nu glanced at everyone with his cold eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Listen to me. Next, I will introduce to you in detail the situation here and the rules you need to abide by."
"First of all, this is called the Death Arena. It is one of the three major arenas created by the ancient gods. You are all death fighters captured here. The meaning of existence is to please the supreme ancient gods through bloody fighting. In return, The ancient gods will grant each winner a gift, even the supreme power of longevity, but only if you prove your strength in the arena."
"The blood marks on your arms represent the wins you have won. Every time you kill an opponent in the arena, the number will be +1, and you will win the game. In the next round, you will compete with the opponent with the same number of wins. Opponents fight.”
As he said this, Mannu pointed to the stairs made of energy in the distant sky:
"There are 15 arenas on the ladder. Each time you advance to a level, you can get a period of rest and generous rewards from the ancient gods. The death warriors who reach the top will receive the blessings of the ancient gods and go to higher-level arenas. Dark Arena, promoted to a glorious fighter"
After listening to Man Nu's introduction, Gu Chen muttered in his heart:
"Guidelines, how many opponents need to be eliminated to reach 15 wins?"
Facing the inquiry, the guide looked bored and said:
[Of course it is to eliminate 15 opponents, but if you count the opponents eliminated by the opponents you defeated, if you want to reach 15 wins, you will have to eliminate 32,767 opponents in total, that is, when you kill the 15th competitive opponent When you fight against your opponent, 32,767 competitive fighters have died in the battle, becoming a stepping stone for you to reach 15 wins. 】
"Damn, there are so many!" Gu Chen was immediately shocked.
When listening to Mannu's introduction, he felt that 15 wins didn't seem like much, but the answer given by the guide shocked him.
This value will obviously be even more exaggerated in the future.
He subconsciously asked again:
"Guide, how many fighters will die if we reach 10 wins?"
【1023】
"Then how many fighters need to die in order to win 30 games?"
【1,073,741,823】
"Hiss, this is too much!"
Through the guidance's answer, Gu Chen has realized how terrifying this ancient god clan who hunts death warriors everywhere is.
The birth of every 15-win fighter is paved with the blood of more than 30,000 fighters.
The fighting intensity in the arena will increase exponentially. You can imagine how difficult it will be to advance to each level in the later stage.
"Follow me next, you will be sent to the arena on the first floor to participate in the first fighting showdown."
With that said, the blood slave turned around and walked towards the ladder.
Seeing this, Gu Chen followed decisively.
...At this time, Qi Sheng, who was behind the scenes, was also observing the situation in the arena.
Seeing Gu Chen following Man Nu towards the first competitive platform, he turned to look at the guidance floating beside him:
"Do you know the ancient gods?"
[I don’t know, but it’s definitely a force that came in the later period. Their arrest of fighters everywhere should be related to the rules of the world controlled by this ethnic group. 】
Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng glanced towards the arena.
"Are you saying that this race, like the mechanical masters, has mastered the rules of the world?"
[Yes, the entire Death Arena should be shrouded in a layer of rule-specific energy. Let me analyze it and take a look. 】
After a brief silence, the information analyzed by the guide poured into Qi Sheng's mind.
[World Rules·Fighting Soul]:
Rule characteristics: Rule characteristics from the blood soul world. Duels that occur within the envelope can generate the power of fighting souls. Each ray of fighting soul power is accompanied by powerful destructive energy (the stronger the will of both parties in the duel, the higher the life strength. The higher it is, the more fighting spirit power is generated).
This piece of analytical information allowed Qi Sheng to understand what the ancient gods mentioned by Man Nu were doing.
Mannu said that the battles between competitive fighters were to please the ancient gods, but in fact, the ancient gods obtained the energy of the rules through life-and-death duels between fighters.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The creation of three major arenas is also to allow countless fighters to profit from duels.
As for why not to keep a group of fighters in captivity and use them repeatedly, the analysis has already explained in detail. The stronger the willpower of both parties in the duel, the more fighting spirit power will be generated.
What the Ancient Gods want is for competitive fighters to fight with the will to die.
Qi Sheng's line of sight switched to the player's perspective at this time.
……
Follow Mannu to the arena on the ground floor.
The shape of the arena on the first floor is like a giant snake with a body entwined. The snake's head is high and its tail is hidden. The core area is a huge circular arena. The surface of the arena is covered with strange runes. The floor is made of crystal clear spiritual stones, emitting Soft shimmer.
Following Man Nu's request, Gu Chen walked into a separate room built into the wall and began to wait.
During this process, the scene on the ring can be seen through the window of the room.
At this time, two alien warriors were fighting on top. They were obviously 0-win death warriors who had just been captured like him.
Looking at the live broadcast room placed in the upper right corner of the line of sight, it was already exploding.
Everyone is discussing the origin of the ancient gods behind this arena, and they are actually arresting people everywhere to participate in the duel.
Some players said that they would just kill themselves and go back to the dark room to please the ancient god.
But more players expressed that they want to see the subsequent unfolding of the plot.
After turning off the live broadcast display, Gu Chen was also curious about how the next plot would unfold.
Especially what the reward for victory is in Man Nu's mouth.
While waiting, the room suddenly shook, and spatial spiritual patterns appeared on the ground.
After the strong feeling of weightlessness passed, he found himself standing on the ring.
"Layered space?"
The two death fighters in his sight were still fighting, and then he was teleported to an empty arena, which made him realize that the arena seemed to have multiple spaces like the test tower.
At this moment, a white light flashed in front, and the opponent's figure appeared.
The Death Fighter who appeared on the scene had a humanoid body, covered with light armor woven from animal skins and metal sheets. He wore a helmet that looked like a goat's horn, with only tight lips and slightly panicked eyes exposed. eye.
Gu Chen could even clearly hear its gradually heavier breathing.
The analytical ability is turned on, and the other party's information floods into the mind.
【Iron Helmet】：
Hunting Level: 26
Target information: Cangxing Sea Insect Cave Island, young warrior of the Beast Skin Tribe.
……
Seeing the other party's hunting level, Gu Chen was relieved.
The levels of his Brutal Ax and Broken Knife have both reached level 25. It is obviously not difficult to win this battle.
[Start your battle and it ends with the death of one party. 】
At this moment, Man Nu's voice echoed in the sky, and the black bracelets on their right wrists automatically disappeared.
Before Gu Chen could take action, the warrior wearing a horned helmet took the lead and attacked him, hitting his head hard with his clenched right fist.
Facing the offensive, Gu Chen decisively summoned his powerful ax to meet them.
But the opponent's reaction was extremely fast. Iron Helmet quickly crouched down to avoid his blow to the neck, and then slammed his right fist into his abdomen. When he subconsciously bent over, he hit him with a blow. A vicious knee strike follows.
Bang!
This knee collision caused Gu Chen's nose to bleed and stars to appear in his eyes.
Before he could react, Iron Helmet approached him again, grabbing his right hand and trying to disarm him.
In this regard, Gu Chen did not stop him and allowed him to take away the Liman Ax.
Just when Tiejui was about to hit his head with a brutal axe, a ferocious smile appeared on Gu Chen's face:
"It hurts so much when you hit someone, tell me you're sorry!"
After the words fell, the forceful ax in Tie Helmet's hand disappeared, and a pale golden force ax re-condensed in Gu Chen's hand and struck hard on Tie Helmet's neck.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Iron Helmet took a few steps back, his eyes under the helmet unable to conceal his horror.
Seeing that Gu Chen had the upper hand, cheers erupted in the live broadcast room, especially members of the family and friends group, who frantically posted comments in celebration.
This time it was Gu Chen's turn to take the initiative, hoping to win with one blow.
But the iron helmet with an injured neck was far more difficult to deal with than he thought. He dragged his still-blooded body and punched him one after another, crushing him technically.
Five minutes later, Gu Chen, who had one of his arms broken, was about to dodge Iron Helmet's heavy punch, but found that the fist had not landed.
Turning his head to look, Iron Helmet's body was slowly leaning forward and falling to the ground.
"Damn it, I finally won."
[Shameful, two level 25 life souls cannot defeat an opponent with hunting level 26. 】
"It's different. The insect tide and the black tide have no intelligence. This kid looks like a practicing master at first glance. His skills are too strong."
[I'm just an ordinary warrior, but my skills are strong, but your skills are too weak. 】
Just when Gu Chen wanted to talk back, Man Nu's voice sounded from above:
"The battle is over, a victory."
After the words fell, the formation appeared again under Gu Chen's feet. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had returned to the room.
Compared with the previous one, the room area has been significantly enlarged, and there is an extra wooden bed. When I look up and look out the window, what I see is not the scene of the arena on the first floor, but a completely different arena. This arena Its appearance is like a giant sword, and the arena is right in front of the giant sword.
This made him realize that he was transported to the second floor arena space.
"Blessed by the ancient gods, one victory will reward you with a low-level spirit bead, and you will have 69 hours and 39 minutes of rest time left (the translation time is hours)."
Man Nu's voice sounded again, and after the formation on the ground flickered, a red spiritual bead rose up.
Gu Chen was curious and immediately turned on his analytical ability to check.
[Low Martial Soul Bead]:
Item introduction: A special item made from living souls. After taking it, it can stimulate the body's potential, enhance physical fitness, and quickly repair physical wounds. It can be sacrificed to the Emperor's Sign in exchange for 2134 sacrificial power rewards.
……
Gu Chen's eyes suddenly widened when he saw the value of the soul beads.
In Mannu's introduction, the rewards in the arena will continue to increase with the number of wins, but he did not expect that the first victory would give a 2,000 sacrificial power reward.
"Guide, how much physical training experience will this thing give you if you eat it?"
[About 1342 points, the additional function is to quickly repair injuries. 】
"Only fools eat it, why not give it to me, brother Di Zhao."
Gu Chen immediately picked up the hanging low martial soul bead with his left hand and put it into his space bag.
Then he took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it in large gulps.
Just when Gu Chen was happily thinking about the extra income, the melon-eating players who saw this scene in the live broadcast room suddenly became uneasy:
"Damn it, are there any benefits from dueling here? I want to go, please find a way to get in."
"Wouldn't it be great to get three wins? The reward could be a direct upgrade to a training level, or even more. I want to go too."
"I'm very curious about how good the reward for 15 wins will be, but I don't dare to think about it. Please give me the coordinates. If you don't want them to catch you, I will take the initiative to deliver it to your door."
"I burst into tears. I just went into the live broadcast room to have fun. Why did I see other people getting rich? I am the only one who is poor, and you all got rich."
"It doesn't matter what a duel is, the main thing is that I want to please the ancient gods, and I want to die to please them."
……
Gu Chen's experience and the live broadcast soon spread on the forum.
After learning that there was such a place where you could get rewards for defeating your opponents, all the players were jealous. They all expressed that they wanted to go to the arena to please the ancient gods and fight to the death.
