Chapter 533: The Beginning of a Slave Revolt Sweeping the Southern Continent
The Animal Street, two streets across from the Central Arena, is the largest meat and livestock trading market in Djinn City, as well as the largest slave market.
When Ji Xun came over, the slave market was crowded.
The simple shanties are the main buildings in the entire block, and the air is filled with a faint stench of feces and urine.
Since the death dragon Marodis returned from the underworld, triggering a war between the metal dragons and the color dragons, the slave market in the entire southern continent has suddenly exploded.
This "King of Gladiator Challenge" is also a feast for slave owners.
The event attracted a large number of noble lords from all over the empire to watch the battle, and they also needed to purchase strong slaves to participate in the war.
This also added fuel to the fire of the slave business.
A large number of war slaves were transported to Djinn City. At this moment, the shanties on both sides of the livestock street were filled with slaves of various colors.
The male slaves only wore a piece of crotch cloth, and most of the female slaves were naked from the upper body, like animals for sale for buyers to choose from.
Extraordinary slaves wear slave collars, while ordinary slaves are locked with some iron chains and hemp ropes.
As Ji Xun walked on the streets, he could see twos and threes of richly dressed nobles everywhere. They covered their noses in disgust at the bad smell of the slave market while happily selecting slaves of their choice.
There are also some buyers from ordinary wealthy families on the street. They come to choose laborers or servants to work on their farms.
Ordinary pure-blood human slaves are the cheapest. A few gold coins can buy a good-looking female slave.
Male slaves who can do manual labor are slightly more expensive.
Extraordinary slaves are expensive. The higher the rank, the higher the price.
For example, the price of a high-level slave of level three or above starts at tens of thousands of gold coins.
A war requires the consumption of thousands of slaves, and it is also a pure consumption competition of money.
So the prisoners captured on the battlefield are the best war slaves.
This is also the most popular item recently.
"Boss, do you want to buy some slaves? These girls are maids from small noble families in Simas County. They are literate, familiar with noble etiquette, and are of childbearing age. They are very suitable maids."
"This is A few of them are apprentice knights from Elres. Oh, they are stronger than bulls. A few of them can do the work of an entire farm. Of course, they are also very good as guards."
"This is Sere. The Si people were descendants of the ancient royal family. They are the best 'breeding products' and have a probability of giving birth to high-purity dragon blood heirs."
"."
Ji Xun goes all the way. , looking along the way, slave traders were also enthusiastically selling their goods.
The samples on display are all top-quality goods, the female slaves are of excellent appearance and figure, and the male slaves are all strong and tall.
Ji Xun walked around the streets and saw many new slaves who were obviously prisoners on the battlefield.
They are scarred, and there is the pride and unwillingness of knights in their eyes, which is completely different from the old slaves with numb eyes.
Ji Xun has inquired about the information. The "Blue Knight" Cornabos, who is suspected to be the descendant of the master of military disasters, is a Seresian, born with fighting blood, and the famous knight of the Blue Cross Legion. long. Later, because the loyal lord of the legion was defeated and surrendered, everyone in the entire legion became war slaves.
It is said that the price offered by the Chamber of Commerce this time is that if he can win the championship of the King of Gladiators, he and his old buddies can be pardoned and regain their civilian status.
But the reality is that all his Blue Cross comrades had been sold to slave traders for a good price and died miserably.
The seeds of revenge have been planted.
It just happened that in the black market, Ji Xun had obtained some fragmentary information before. It was said that someone was plotting to rob the prison in Jiling City.
In Ji Xun's eyes, the entire cause and effect line of this incident was... All ready.
It was buried a long time ago, and it is gradually revealed today after a long time.
Moreover, the Seres people are a royal family from the Alterac civilization hundreds of thousands of years ago. Now their former emperor, the dragon god Marodis, has returned. This was reason enough for a riot.
And whenever there is a riot, there will inevitably be intensification of class contradictions.
This kind of cruel slavery in the Southern Continent, this contradiction has long been irreconcilable.
Especially those war slaves who are about to be sent to the battlefield, they all have a complex and extremely depressed emotion in their eyes.
Ji Xun’s clown mask allows him to keenly capture all kinds of negative emotions.
He just walked around the slave market and felt the strong negative emotions.
Like the terrifying pressure accumulated before a volcano erupts, even before it erupts, people are already aware of the dangerous aura that will destroy the world.
However, because the war slaves had explosive collars around their necks, the tens of thousands of slaves in the slave market were unable to cause trouble.
This kind of contradiction is not only found in the Giant Spirit City, but also in almost any city in the southern continent.
If someone could untie the collars around the slaves' necks and have some weapons, it would inevitably trigger a great turmoil like a prairie fire.
As Ji Xun walked, he deduced many scenes in his mind.
He saw a riot that had been planned for a long time and was really brewing.
Unknowingly, we have arrived at the alley behind the main street.
This is the "storage warehouse" of slave traders, and the stench is worse than the main street.
Ji Xun walked in and saw that the small warehouse was filled with slaves with no clothes on them.
The room was so crowded that the slaves had just enough space to sit down, and urine and feces were piled in the warehouse.
Ji Xun hid in the shadows, completely avoiding the patrol officers' eyes.
He walked to the slave warehouse of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, and soon he saw the dark-skinned David in a warehouse with a thousand people.
Finding the person, Ji Xun did not act in a hurry.
He watched carefully.
The supervisor in charge of taking care of the slaves was drunk alone in a room not far away. The rune keys that could unlock the collars of these warehouses were hung casually on his waist.
There are still other things in the warehouse. There is a warehouse full of armors and weapons. This was originally armor prepared for patrol officers. As long as the door is broken open, the weapons can be easily obtained and an elite team can be armed.
When Ji Xun saw this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
It seems like someone has already written the script and is just waiting for the actors to appear.
Ji Xun knew that they were never the protagonists of this riot.
He is waiting.
Wait for the news from the arena.
On the other side, there is the central duel field.
It was already evening when the gladiatorial competition ended today, and the city was replaced with dim lights that represented night.
In the prison, Gong Wu's outstanding performance in defeating the enemy with one move today not only did not bring him a new look from the slave master, but also added two thick iron chains to his body.
The servant who delivered the meal placed a large bucket of liquid food in front of him.
Gong Wu didn’t take a second look.
This amount of food is impossible to meet the daily consumption of a seventh-level card master, but this is his food these days.
A gladiator who doesn't have enough to eat is likely to face death on the field.
Those guys have tried their best to make themselves surrender.
At the door, the steward's tone was getting impatient: "I'll give you one last chance, the game the day after tomorrow. If you agree to cooperate, the conditions I said before will remain the same."
Gong Wu listened expressionlessly, He just counted silently in his mind and calculated the time.
Ji Xun came here before and talked about the issue of this gladiatorial competition.
Gong Wu also knew that no matter whether he agreed or not, the organizer would not let him win that game.
That "Blue Knight" Kornabus will definitely become the champion in an upset.
For the first time, Gong Wu also learned about the foreign god Monliod, the Lord of Military Disasters, and knew that his future opponent was the one chosen by God.
At this moment, the steward outside the iron gate said angrily: "Are you listening to me?!"
Originally, this guy thought that he would not get any response as usual, but Without thinking, the old man suddenly stood up.
But not in response to him.
Gong Wu said to himself: "The time has come. I originally wanted to have a good fight with that guy on the field."
In this gladiatorial match, the only thing he looked forward to was the final.
It's a pity, there is no fairness in the game, and the interest is completely lost.
In that case, let’s go have a fight now!
Just with this thought, Gong Wu's eyes flashed, and his whole body burned like a flame.
The steward outside the door was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground, pointed with his eyes wide open: "What are you doing!"
This kind of top-grade slave collar is specially made and has "forbidden magic runes" engraved on it. Except for competitions, permission will not be opened at all on weekdays.
Now Gong Wu suddenly became angry, which of course shocked the steward.
However, Gong Wu ignored the guy outside and casually untied the slave collar around his neck. After the outburst, the restrained muscles all over his body became full in an instant.
With a strong exertion, the iron chains binding his hands were broken with a "bounce" sound.
Then I heard "bang", "bang", "bang" and the sound of steel snapping.
Gong Wu got rid of his restraints and walked out of the prison step by step.
With every step he took, his momentum increased.
He walked to the iron gate, raised his hand to gather energy, and punched out suddenly.
“Bang!”
The punch force spurted out like a bursting embankment, and the twisted iron door flew dozens of meters away and was embedded in the opposite wall.
Amidst the ashes in the sky, Gong Wu walked out like a demon.
At this moment, the aura flowing out of him was already more terrifying than in the previous game.
The steward at the door was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and his crotch was already wet.
Gong Wu ignored it at all. After identifying the direction of the Qi, he walked straight towards cabin No. 7.
The guards who heard the commotion and rushed over wanted to stop him, but they only heard the muffled sound of the fists knocking on a mountain, and the guard team flew out in pieces.
Gong Wu had no intention of escaping, nor did he intend to argue with these little minions.
After a while, he walked to cabin No. 7 on the next floor and walked to the iron fence of the prison.
In the prison, the man as strong as a lion also raised his head.
Seeing Gong Wu, he grinned.
Gong Wu flicked the slave collar key in his hand and said: "Come on! Let's have a fight!"
Hearing this, the blood in Digeos's body became restless, and he smiled boldly. : "Okay!"
It is a rare blessing for both parties to meet such an opponent.
Without any words, the momentum of the two strong men suddenly exploded to the extreme.
Outside the Central Arena, there are many people wandering in the square.
Suddenly everyone seemed to feel two terrifying auras bursting out, and even the monsters within a few miles were frightened and moved.
No one knew what happened, but they seemed to hear the sounds of fierce fighting.
Suddenly, without warning, a corner of the central arena collapsed.
Two figures rushed out of the ruins and started fighting in the center of the arena.
The sudden change also instantly attracted the attention of thousands of people around.
Most of these people came here for the King of Gladiators competition. Seeing this scene, instead of scattering in fright, everyone started pointing excitedly.
The black flame-like aura was so conspicuous that almost everyone recognized Gong Wu’s identity immediately.
“Look, it’s the Donghuang qigong master who defeated “Black Sword” Malikas with one move today! "
"This power is too exaggerated. Why do I feel stronger than in the afternoon? Also, who was it that actually forced the old man to fight to the death? "
"Hey, isn't that the "Blue Knight" Kornabus? Is this guy so strong? ”
"My dear, I thought that the Donghuang qigong master had definitely won the title of 'King of Gladiators' this time, but I didn't expect that there was such a strong person among the gladiators. The fighting power of these two people, I'm afraid they are not weaker than the eighth-level experts."
"The few favorites that were promoted before are not on the same level as these two. Damn it, the dog dealer is preparing to upset the opponent. Ah! Damn you, refund your money!”
“.”
The battle has become extremely chaotic since it appeared in the public eye.
This is more intense than any game today.
Now everyone can see clearly,
In the afternoon when "Blue Knight" Konabos defeated "Silver-Eyed Tyrannosaurus" Rhine, he obviously hid his strength.
The scene when Gong Wu defeated the "Black Sword" Malikas with one move was another crushing game. It was amazing due to experience, but it was not exciting at all.
The essence is that the strength gap between the two players and other gladiators is too big.
But now, two strong men who really have the ability to win the championship start to fight, and it is really a close and fierce battle.
The strength of the fist takes shape and fills the sky.
The central arena made of huge stones collapsed in large areas under the terrifying aggression of the two men.
Just the shock wave swept across the land for several miles, flying sand and rocks, and it felt like an earthquake shaking the mountains.
However, the onlookers not only were not deterred, but more and more people came to ask questions and gathered around to watch this amazing battle.
And the other side.
The dignitaries of the United Chamber of Commerce also immediately learned of the changes in the arena.
There have been incidents of gladiators escaping from prison in the past, but those guys who escaped from prison would, without exception, escape as quietly as possible.
But this time it was completely different.
Not only did the two guys in front of me not escape, but they started fighting?
The stewards of the chamber of commerce were shocked and at the same time they were itching with hatred.
The originally planned final has now been staged ahead of schedule, which will cause the United Chamber of Commerce to suffer heavy losses!
They originally wanted to start a fight.
However, when I asked even the eighth-level guard commanders, all of them had very ugly expressions.
With the postures of the two people in front of me, how can an ordinary eighth-level person have the confidence to win on their own?
If you really want to stop it, even three or five eighth-level players may not be able to control the scene.
And even if the fight breaks out now, not to mention whether the two gladiators can be controlled, but if they are controlled, the hope of harvesting leek money without an upset in the final has been lost.
The battle became more and more intense in front of everyone's attention.
It was as if the entire Giant Spirit City had become a stage for the two of them, and countless people witnessed this legendary battle.
On the other side, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi had of course found a good position to observe.
A battle of this level is a rare reference for both of them.
Because they had anticipated it, both of them were very relaxed.
Qin Rushi's eyes reflected the fiercely intertwined figures of the two people in the sky, and saw more details than others. She sighed: "The Seres people already have the master of the military disaster. Divine power to protect the body, invulnerability to weapons and weapons; and the luck blessing of [War Commander], he will never be defeated. I didn’t expect that Senior Gong Wu would not fall behind at all. The Mirror of the Martial Saint is really strong."
Ji Xun listened and nodded in approval: "Yes. The old man's realm is really outrageous. Senior Griffith once told me that the holy realm that can only be touched by the ninth level, this old man can reach the peak of the seventh level. "I touched it."
He is worthy of being a martial arts wizard who has not been encountered in the Eastern Barren for thousands of years, and he is worthy of being the "number one martial artist in the world" in the Eastern Barren.
Back then, Gong Wu was able to comprehend the "divine power" by groping on his own without anyone's guidance or guidance from the classics.
This speaks volumes about talent.
Now that he has entered the holy realm, Ji Xun feels that it is reasonable.
Thinking of something, he smiled and said: "Perhaps it will be recorded in the history books for many years from now on. The slave riot in the Southern Continent that originated from the Giant Spirit City was triggered by a competition between two gladiators. ."
Qin Rushi replied with a smile: "Yes."
That feeling is very subtle
They have always read epics, and from those epics, they saw the names of legendary figures one after another;
However, one day, they suddenly discovered that they had unknowingly become one of the most famous figures in the epics. A character who speaks only a few words.
Especially in their realm.
This kind of perception becomes a kind of historical context, like the law of the world's operation.
The two watched the battle intently.
Suddenly, a fierce fight broke out two blocks away from the fighting arena.
Qin Rushi glanced slightly sideways: "Has it started?"
Ji Xun nodded: "Yes."
Although it was not surprising, Qin Rushi didn't have time to ask in detail just now. I was still curious: "How did you do it?"
"It wasn't me."
Ji Xun shook his head, his eyes gradually deepened, and said: "It's just this duel that made those guys start the rebellion in advance. The Rainbow Chamber of Commerce is not even the mastermind. There are many war slaves of the Blue Cross Legion who have infiltrated into the city. They are the ones who The main force of the riot"
As soon as he finished speaking, like dominoes, fierce fighting sounds sounded from all directions in the city.
After saying that, Ji Xun also stood up and said with a smile: "Aunt Qin, let's go too. Now it's time to redeem our tickets."
