steel horn

The weather is fine, the warm wind is blowing, and the golden sunlight in the garden falls on the petals of the blooming golden irises, which makes people feel ecstatic.The band on the large dance floor played lively and cheerful dance music. Ladies wearing layers of large lace skirts, paired with nobles in gorgeous dresses and beautiful bow ties, walked briskly and gracefully to the dance music.

The slender fingers of the female guests drew graceful arcs. The huge jewels on the fingers, earlobes, and snow-white breasts shone brightly in the sun, and laughter was everywhere.It makes people forget that this is the Blue Star that has just been ravaged by the Zerg. The hungry people outside can't even eat a bite of porridge. They can only sell their children as slaves in exchange for the seeds to be planted next year.

Ke Xia was dressed in a black imperial uniform inlaid with gold, walking on the avenue with a face full of indifference, followed by a few guards.This used to be the scene of every court ball he had seen before, and this was his habit of living. Even in Prince White Rose's mansion, it needed a lot of energy to maintain the white rose that was like spring all the year round, but From his young age, this was as it should be.The royal family has everything, and of course they can enjoy everything. This is the imperial power bestowed by heaven, but at this moment, he felt a deep disgust.

King Kexi was standing beside him with a smile: "I hugged you when you were young, and you pulled my hair. Now you are so tall and look exactly like your father. I really think back to when you were still with your father. Fished... don't know if you still remember me?"

Ke Xia was expressionless, and Ke Xi cursed secretly in his heart. He didn't know that after Prince Ke Xia, who was born as a marshal of the alliance, came back, he would take part in most of the royal family's banquets with dignity, but every time he wore this embarrassing emperor. The imperial uniform means that Prince Ke Ye has been in power in the army for many years, and he will also wear regular uniforms when attending banquets. This man is afraid that people will not know that he is a general. This imperial uniform is cold and hard, which makes people feel uncomfortable. It was daunting to look forward to, and many beautiful little girls were also scared by the prince's frosty face, so they dared not approach him. Hey, Ke Xi thought that he was a bit sympathetic, so he couldn't help but try his best to bite the bullet and stay with this distinguished guest. Searching for something to talk about:

"Axia thinks it's boring. Let's go over there, the adult area. It's fun and exciting. This place is very boring. By the way, what kind of drink does Axia like to drink? I have a particularly exciting green axe wine here. Many people I like to drink it, it's exciting, but it's expensive, do you want some?"

Ke Xia said indifferently: "No need, that is a soft drink, drinking it will damage your mental power."

Ke Xi's face froze: "Hehe, is it? I don't have a very obvious feeling, hehe, then you can drink some wine casually, it's also very good."

Ke Xia said: "I will go to the palace later, I have military duties, so I can't drink alcohol."

Ke Xi wiped his sweat in embarrassment, turned around and saw his butler Lance, and couldn't help being a little annoyed: "Still leading the way ahead? No matter how the program is arranged, there is nothing new."

Lance bowed and just smiled apologetically: "This villa is an adult area, and minors are not allowed to enter. Prince Ke Xia can come and see it. There are entertainment such as card games, gambling, racing, and swimming. See what the prince likes to do."

Ke Xia said lightly: "Whatever, I'm not interested."

Ke Xi laughed and said, "Then just watch the show, there is a rare dance." Ke Xi walked in with Ke Xia, and many guests greeted them one after another, and they all recognized Ke Xia. They were whispering, but they were all frightened by his seriousness and coldness when he was wearing a military uniform, so they didn't come forward to greet him.

There was indeed a dance being performed on the stage. A group of young girls were dancing in almost completely transparent tulle, with countless exquisite gold ornaments on their hands. Ke Xi introduced: "This is the famous Omen Dance. It is the most danced dance. A good family usually does not perform at the house on weekdays, and only performs at the Royal Theater."

The spring scenery was beautiful on the stage, but Ke Xia had a cold face, as if he had no feelings for women at all.Ke Xi had no choice but to ask him again: "Ah Xia has been in the army for many years, so is he interested in fighting? There are pet fighting duels in the basement of our villa. It's very exciting to bet and gamble. Do you want to go and see it?" "

Ke Xia was surprised: "What kind of pet can fight? Dog? Chicken?"

Ke Xi smiled, with an ambiguous expression: "This is a program unique to the Empire, and you can't see it outside." He led him to the basement, and the waiters pushed open the door, and a burst of cheers rushed through the door After coming out, Ke Xia and Ke Xi walked in. On the stage, a man with red skin and bulging muscles, about two meters tall, was raising his hands and shouting wildly. On the stage, there were corpses all over the ground, and the smell of blood stimulated people's senses. , I can't see it at all, I can only vaguely see a head, but that head is not human-like, with two fangs protruding from the mouth, and the eyes are still staring, as if it has just died.

Ke Xia's mental strength was too high, and he was a little disgusted by the smell of blood. He almost wanted to turn around and leave, but Ke Xi didn't notice it at all, and was still in high spirits: "We came just in time to watch the next scene."

Amidst the cheers of the audience, several cleaning robots skillfully moved into Taichung to clean up the corpses and clean the countertops. The smell of blood was lessened, and the host shouted excitedly: "Duke Losey's pet 'Tear' won! Now, let us look forward to the next match! The next match will be our host today, the 'Phantom Assassin' from the Koshi County Palace vs. the 'Stone Crusher' from Viscount Mori. Now, please come to the stage and place your bets!"

Ke Xi smiled and said, "Ah, Phantom Assassin, this pet is very interesting."

Amidst the cheers, a black-haired, black-eyed boy stepped onto the arena, and the opposite "Stone Crusher" also stepped onto the stage. Amidst the cheers, the big screen behind him kept flickering, and countless numbers showed their respective strengths. bet.

Ke Xi pointed to the black-haired boy and said to Ke Xia: "This pet is very sensitive, I just bought it, and said it has a strong fighting gene. The housekeeper didn't believe it, so he found a few hyenas to fight with him, but he really took them all. It’s very interesting to kill them all with a dagger. It’s a completely human body, without any animal genes, and can kill beasts by instinct. Later, we tried a few more times, and he can kill tigers and leopards. Moves like the wind, well, but just gets hurt, almost dies."

"For the sake of looking good today, I still let them put him in the best treatment cabin, and he has fully recovered. Let's see how much money I can win back today. Of course, it's okay to lose hahaha. Those who bet on him will definitely win." Little, you can’t lose much, the odds are low... Sure enough, hahaha, no one bet on him to win, let me see the odds... Last time I had a pet, which made me a lot of money. The leopard girl of General Chuan's family, hey, it's useless, it's really a big loss..."

Ke Xi was obviously very keen on this topic, and talked about every detail with relish, talking about what was so special about someone's pet, but Ke Xia turned a deaf ear to the situation on the stage indifferently.

The black-haired, black-eyed boy was bare-chested and bare-footed, with only a circle of golden tassels around his waist. When he walked, there was even the faint sound of a bell between his legs, and three circles of golden tassels were wrapped around his left arm. Snake-shaped armbands, with a layer of oil applied all over the body, revealing the tight and smooth skin unique to that young talent. His figure is slender and straight, his legs are straight, and he holds a dagger in his hand, which is his only weapon to defend against the enemy.

But his opponent was an extraordinarily majestic "person" with protruding lips and sunken eyes, raised brows and ridges, a thick and broad chest, shiny black muscles on his arms, extremely long hands, almost hanging down to his knees, and his whole body was almost Nearly three meters tall, it is said to be a human, but in the eyes of discerning people, this is a clone after gene fusion with a chimpanzee.

Comparing the two of them face to face, the black-haired boy has clear features, slender hands and feet, and fair skin, and the faint sound of the bell that came from the indescribable place during the action showed a bit of glamorous and coquettish. fun.

In the eyes of some aristocrats who are good at wind and moon, there are ambiguous and clear smiles. Obviously, this is more ornamental than fighting. Naturally, this well-dressed gadget must not be able to fight against the gorilla opposite. But what I want is to watch the struggle, to see the delicate skin being torn, the slender limbs being broken, the dark and pure eyes like small animals being wet with tears, and the delicate face distorted with the despair of dying. how beautiful.

Of course, if the "gorilla" on the opposite side suddenly rises up, and suddenly wants to have an instinctive humiliation in broad daylight, that is also a bloody scene that often appears. After all, these genetically mixed clones, because the genes are too complex , often more abrupt animal nature erupts in the battle between life and death.

When the bell of the competition rang, the "Stone Crusher" hammered his arms into his chest and let out a roar, then rushed towards the black-haired boy. As expected, the slender boy was extremely agile, he easily dodged sideways, and then raised his head high. The leg gave a 360-degree roundabout kick, and kicked the "Stone Crusher" hard on the head, but it obviously had no effect on his thick and thick skin, although the Stone Crusher was taken away by that kick. The impact was blinded for a moment, but it aroused a stronger animal nature in him. With a roar, he stretched out his arms and pointed them at the opponent's shoulders accurately, and then retracted forcefully!

This obviously also contains a very huge power, the audience burst into cheers, as if they wanted to wait for the slender shoulders to be crushed by the giant palm, but the boy didn't even frown on his face, but kicked his feet quickly, The whole figure slid down first, and easily escaped the restraint of the opponent's hands, and then did a very beautiful backflip from bottom to top, turned over and jumped up, and landed on the shoulder of "Stonebreaker" with extreme dexterity , crossed his arms around the opponent's neck and twisted hard.

All the audience at the scene heard a crisp "click" while holding their breath.

Then the huge body of the Stone Crusher fell heavily on the arena, and the "Phantom Assassin" turned over lightly and landed on the ground. The golden bell jingled, and his chest heaved rapidly. Falcon falls, light and beautiful, but in fact, his actual implementation is not as simple and calm as it seems. Every step is extremely dangerous. The opponent's strong and thick neck cannot be twisted by ordinary strength. He exploded in an instant. It was only with such force that he broke his cervical spine.

Huge applause and cheers erupted in the auditorium, Ke Xi was so excited that he rubbed his hands, turned his head and excitedly said to Ke Xia: "How is it, isn't it good?"

Seeing that the young man was still panting on the stage, Ke Xia asked thoughtfully, "Is this someone trained in fighting? This movement..." is completely like an instinctive reaction engraved on the body after countless trainings, strength, dodge and so on. The timing of the kill is completely like that of an experienced fighter who has faced countless opponents in combat.

Ke Xi laughed and said: "How come, duplicants don't have souls, they only have instincts. It's too difficult to teach them. How can they have such skills? It hasn't been long since they left the factory, maybe half a month? It's like a newborn baby. I don't understand, it's all based on instinct, it seems that this fighting gene is really real, A-Xia is interested? If you are interested, I will give you this pet?"

Ke Xia said indifferently: "Not interested, don't."

Ke Xi said with some embarrassment: "If you like it, just say, I have a lot of beautiful pets, all of which are very easy to use..."

A burst of noise interrupted the awkward chat, and an angry man in luxurious clothes came over from the auditorium and said angrily, "I don't believe it! How could a replicant make such trained fighting moves! You obviously You must be a trained dead serf! King Kexi, although Prince Kexia is here, I am not disrespecting you, but you are not following the rules!"

He looked at Ke Xia and said, "My lord! You have also experienced it in the army. This is obviously a fighting move that has been trained in fighting!"

Ke Xi smiled and said: "You are really being unreasonable. This is the latest replica of human fighting genes, produced by JOP Laboratory, with anti-counterfeiting marks." He loudly ordered the referees on the field: "Test Show yourself to Viscount Maury."

I saw the referee brought a scanner and asked someone to grab the shoulder of the black-haired boy on the field, and then grabbed his hair and leaned back, revealing the collar on his neck covered by gold ornaments. The row information appeared on the big screen, including height, weight, blood type, genetic makeup, pupil information, date of manufacture, etc. at a glance.

Ke Xi smiled and said: "Look, this is the information of the clone, you can check it, and it can be traced back. Viscount Mori, this is a human clone that has not fused any animal genes, so it stands to reason that it is at a disadvantage. Don’t afford to lose, hahaha.”

Viscount Mori said coldly: "I will definitely check it! But I have to compete with him again! I also brought a pet!"

The steward Lance next to him smiled and said, "That's not good. According to the rules, it's a pet game. It's not fair."

Viscount Mori said: "If you lose, I will pay twice the compensation!" He looked fiercely at the young man with black hair and black eyes who was indifferent on the stage: "I want to avenge my stonebreaker!"

Ke Xi laughed, reached out his hand to stop the butler Lance who was still talking, and said, "Forget it, I'm the host today, as long as Viscount Mori is happy, let Viscount Mori have another match."

The guests sat back in their seats again, the huge body of the stone breaker in the arena was cleaned up by the robot again, and the two pets stood on the arena again.

"Phantom Assassin" vs. "Snake Kiss"!

"Snake's Kiss" is no longer in the form of a human being, except for the human head with a long snake letter, the whole body is completely in the form of a python. He is a python with a length of six or seven meters. on stage.

The battle started, the audience cheered, Ke Xi clicked his tongue twice, and said to Ke Xia: "This kind of simple and crude gene fusion is really not in line with my aesthetics. I am really willing to do anything to win. Listen, Viscount Mori He said that now that he is in an economic crisis, he relies on these few pets to compete everywhere to make money. The Crusher is his most profitable, but he was abolished by the Phantom Assassin. It’s very short and eats a lot, so it’s actually not worth it.”

Ke Xia said: "You might lose this time." He looked at the black-haired boy, although he was still avoiding the attack of the opponent's fangs very quickly, but it was obvious that he was good at speed, but the snake also had Sensitive speed and accurate attack, its long and powerful python body, the attack surface is too wide, as long as it touches the opponent, it can quickly roll up the opponent, and then wrap the opponent alive like a python in the animal kingdom. Cut off, suffocate to death.

Ke Xi said with a nonchalant smile: "If you lose, you lose. After all, you just killed someone's most profitable pet. You can't drive him to a corner. Let him win a game. Otherwise, it's not good to offend people for nothing. A gambler with nothing is the scariest thing. Even on weekdays, I am very lenient to the serfs. Don’t drive people to a dead end... Just let everyone have a good time. Pets, just die and make another one Well, if you like this type, you can ask the lab to make exactly the same ones, as many as you want."

Ke Xia didn't speak, and Ke Xi's words touched a certain thought in him very sensitively - what Jem said at the beginning, theoretically, it is possible to replicate countless Duins that are exactly the same as him, but he never did it again, He lost forever the robot nanny who accompanied him.

The sudden bad mood made him a little depressed. He raised his eyes and looked silently at the boy on the field. Sure enough, after a few rounds, he was accurately wrapped around his body by the python. It was a force that humans could not break free from. He was still struggling hard. But he still couldn't break free from the gradually tightening body of the boa constrictor, and the audience on the field could clearly hear the sound of his bones breaking.

An expression of pain finally appeared on that indifferent white face, his eyes were wide open, and he was already on the verge of dying, but he still held the dagger tightly in his hand.

Someone in the audience suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Enough! I am willing to buy this pet! Viscount Mori! King Koshi County! I am willing to pay double the price!"

Everyone looked over, and Viscount Mori grinned grinningly: "Hehe, it's too late! Viscount Feilan! Pets who don't understand human language, once they enter the arena, only one party dies can quit! I'm really sorry!"

King Kexi also smiled: "If Viscount Feilan likes it, I will make an identical one for you later." His generosity obviously made the audience very happy, and they cheered and laughed: "The king is really generous!"

However, on the field, the black-haired boy who was clearly on the verge of death suddenly clenched the dagger, raised it and stabbed fiercely into the python's seven-inch spine!

The force was obviously very strong, the boa constrictor's head was thrown back, and it let out a loud cry!Then the python's body tightened extremely, Ka Ka Ka!That was the sound of bones breaking on Phantom Assassin's body!All the audience turned around to watch this life-and-death struggle!

The black-haired boy still firmly held the dagger in his hand, and inserted it fiercely into the python's seven inches, stirring vigorously, cutting off his spinal nerves.

Gradually, the body of the boa constrictor slowly loosened and hung limply on the body. The human head stuck out its long forked tongue in a daze, its pupils dilated, and it died.

There was silence in the field, and suddenly thunderous applause broke out!What a great duel!Humans can beat pythons!

Ke Xia watched the young man collapse on the field amidst the applause, his hair was completely wet, he closed his dark eyes, and gasped weakly. Obviously, all the bones in his body were broken, and he could recover with the treatment cabin, but if the price is high Because of the cost of the remake, Kosh probably wouldn't save him again.

Viscount Fei Lan had already approached Ke Xi, and said earnestly: "His Royal Highness, please transfer this pet to me. I am willing to pay double the price for it."

Ke Xi turned his head and said with a smile: "I heard that Viscount Fei Lan likes to collect little lovers with black hair and black eyes. It seems that it is really like the rumors, but it seems that the bones of this pet have been broken, and it will take a lot of money to repair it." It's too much money, if you like it, why don't I re-customize it for you."

Viscount Feilan said: "No, I want this one. I will pay for the treatment cabin. Please transfer it to me..."

Ke Xi was a little surprised and said with a smile: "I see, since you like it so much..."

"It's a pity to disappoint Viscount Feilan. The county king gave me this pet just now."

Viscount Fei Lan looked up in astonishment, and saw Prince Ke Xia who had been silent all this time looking at him indifferently, with a blank expression on his face.
