Hero Tomb

Chapter 8: Inside the Arena

After resting overnight, the next day was dark and snowflakes were still falling, so He Lanyuan and the others headed straight for the top of Xiling Mountain. It was already three quarters past noon when they arrived at the arena.

Bai Huajiao led the line, and after paying the money, he was able to lead the crowd through the guards to formally enter the arena.

When he didn't see the real appearance of the arena, He Lanyuan thought it was a high shelf just like the arena in the Central Plains. After entering the arena, he realized that the scene here was completely different from what he had imagined.

Here, it is like a big pit, a big pit that can accommodate more than a hundred people. It is divided into steps in the form of spiral expansion. Each step is full of people sitting in a circle. In the bottom open space, about It was a circle of fifteen feet, and the two people inside were fighting each other desperately, every move made the people on the steps scream and shout, and the whole atmosphere reached a climax.

Following behind Bai Huajiao, He Lanyuan stared at the two people in the arena. The figures of the two people were in obvious contrast. One was shirtless, with a burly figure, and his long hair was all messed up. The braided, full-mouthed Hussip, is obviously from the Western Regions.The other person was thin and slender, with ragged clothes and disheveled hair, which made it difficult to see his appearance, but this person was very skilled, but his feet were shackled to restrict his movements.

Staring at the ragged figure, He Lanyuan's eyes were full of suspicion.Bai Huajiao turned his head to look at him, the hand hanging by his side grabbed He Lanyuan's hand, the two of them searched for a seat, but before they were seated, the ragged man in the arena suddenly made a counter-catch and lost weight The strong body forcefully threw the strong man to the ground, and then he knelt on his knees, abruptly staggering the strong man's throat, and the whole audience shouted instantly, some were joyful, some were angrily cursing.In an instant, He Lanyuan also became excited, because he recognized the anti-grab, and he had learned it before.

"Big brother!" Staring at the figure, He Lanyuan was obviously a little excited: "That's my big brother! That's my big brother..."

"Lan Yuan!" Bai Huajiao pulled the man in his arms and kept him from moving.But He Lanyuan was sullen in his heart, struggling with both hands: "Bai Huajia, what are you doing, let me go!"

"Then you can't act recklessly." Pressing the person down, Bai Huachen looked at the figures in the arena, and frowned slightly: "If you are impulsive, you will only do bad things, and it will be even more difficult to save your elder brother when the time comes."

Hearing this, He Lanyuan's eyes flashed, and he stopped struggling.

Bai Huayu let go of his hand, He Lanyuan bit his lower lip, turned his head and continued to look into the arena.

The previous strong man from the Western Regions was found to be indeed dead, and was carried out of the arena by two men.In the arena, just as He Lanqing was able to breathe a sigh of relief, the iron gate on the other side opened, and another dead man was released. When the two met, they fought directly without even speaking, wishing to kill each other.

The judge was protected and retreated to the stage, shouting something in He Lanyuan's incomprehensible Western Region dialect, and the surrounding crowd responded, also shouting in Helanyuan's incomprehensible language.

"What are they talking about?" He Lanyuan couldn't help asking, his eyes locked on He Lanqing, who had a close relationship with life and death in the arena.

Bai Huachen stuck to his ear and said, "They should be asking for a price."

Frowning tightly, He Lanyuan didn't speak again.

In the arena, He Lanqing, who had been fighting all morning, was obviously a little tired. The shackles on his feet made him even more passive. The sound was drowned out by the shouting voices all around.

He Lanyuan's expression was gloomy, and he wished he could fly down immediately and kill the people underground with his sword.

Seeing the thin figure in the arena, He Lanyuan looked worried, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, so he broke free from Bai Huajiao's hands and flew down.

A pair of hunters in white clothes suddenly landed in the arena like meteors whistling, and before everyone could react, they drew their swords suddenly, and the sword energy flew straight to kill the burly dead man. After two breaths of silence all around, a new round of noisy and fiery sounds sounded again.

The people on the stairs got up angrily, shouting and cursing angrily in words that He Lanyuan couldn't understand, and the judge was also angry at the sudden appearance, pointing at He Lanyuan and yelling angrily, the whole scene seemed to be close to getting out of control status.

He Lanyuan didn't notice any of this, just turned around and ran to He Lanqing's side. The two brothers were surprised and delighted when they met suddenly, but before they were given a chance to speak, they all jumped into the surrounding ladder walls. A lot of people came out, and as soon as they made a move, they rushed towards the two of them.

Seeing the situation, Bai Huayu frowned lightly. Although he felt displeased, he still hurried down. At the same time, Du Yi, who was in the crowd, saw that the situation had changed. He waved his hand, and the shadow guards who were hiding around received orders , took action one after another, and then, when everyone's attention was focused on the arena below, there were suddenly booming explosions, terrified screams, and fleeing figures from the ladder walls in all directions. In an instant, the whole scene fell into panic.

In the arena, He Lanqing was also startled. Before he could react, someone flew down the ladder wall. When He Lanqing was about to fight back, the other party cut He Lanqing off with a sword. Tilting the shackles on his feet, the three of them acted as shields, hacking and killing the thugs pouring out of the arena, and the three of them protected He Lanqing, and directly lifted him up to the ladder wall.In the chaotic arena, there were also many figures wielding their swords and killing the sentry patrols around the arena. The fleeing crowd pushed and shoved each other, and many people were pushed directly down the ladder wall.

He Lanyuan only protected his elder brother, and swung his sword to kill the figures rushing around. Unexpectedly, at this time, the high-strength archers outside the arena had already prepared, and while everyone in the arena was slashing, they aimed at The target drew the bow and set up the arrow, and in an instant, the arrows rained down, approaching the figure in the arena.

He Lanyuan dodged for a few times, and because of the restriction of the shackles on his feet, he was almost shot by an arrow. He Lanyuan looked startled, and quickly reached out to support him. His complexion also changed accordingly.

"Lan Yuan!!!"

The seven-inch arrow pierced through, and He Lanyuan's expression changed immediately.Feeling ashamed, Helan snatched the long sword from his younger brother's hand with his hands, and then swung the sword with enough skill, all the people who rushed towards them from all around were cut their throats by his sword.

The internal organs seemed to be damaged, and He Lanqing's face turned pale for a while.

Bai Huajiao came to the two of them, waved the jade flute in his hand and knocked down the feathered arrows coming from the sky, and when the surrounding shadow guards once again rushed to the three of them to form a shield wall, Bai Huajiao flew up in the air , the jade flute lay across his lips, and as soon as the sound of the flute came out, the archers on the high wall instantly suffered from splitting headaches, and they rolled all over the floor while shouting.

He Lan leaned weakly. Hearing the sound of the flute this time, he only felt that the breath in his body was confused, and he spit out a mouthful of blood. I just felt uncomfortable for a while, my face became paler, and I wanted to go crazy. Everyone in the arena hugged their heads, cried, and rolled all over the place, as if they were crazy.

Pinning the jade flute to his waist, Bai Huamao turned around and picked up He Lanyuan, and then led the crowd to disappear into the arena like birds.

The news of the arena being robbed spread within a short while, and the whole of Xiling was on alert. But at noon that day in the hut at the bottom of the mountain, Bai Huajiao stood by the bed with a gloomy expression on his face. , staring straight at the sleeping figure on the bed.

The woman beside the bed who was checking her injuries in Helanyuan was named Qiutang, she was a member of Bai Huajiao's shadow guards, and she was also a doctor. Although her medical skills were not comparable to Bai Feng, who is known as a genius doctor, she was not comparable to ordinary doctors. .

After checking He Lanyuan's situation, Qiutang frowned, with a plain face: "There is poison in the arrow, and the medicine I have here can only temporarily control the poison. Before the antidote is obtained, the arrow on his body cannot be pulled out."

"Why?" Bai Huayu frowned upon hearing this.

Qiutang said: "Drawing out the arrow may cause the blood to flow like a gush. If there is no antidote to stop the bleeding, I'm afraid that Mr. Yuheng will die of excessive blood loss."

Du Yi glanced at his young master, and immediately asked, "Where is the antidote? I'll look for it."

Qiutang said: "This kind of antidote is probably only available at the military doctor's office." In other words, if you want to get the antidote, you have to go to the army in the Western Regions.

Du Yi turned around and left: "I'll get it now!"

"Come back!" Calling Du Yi who had already walked to the door, Bai Huajiao stepped forward: "Now there are soldiers from the Western Regions everywhere outside, you can't take it." Turning to look at Qiutang: "You all stay here, take good care of them Brother, I'll be back before sunset"

Everyone looked surprised.

Bai Huayu didn't wait for them to finish speaking, but walked out on his own.

Qiutang frowned, with a suspicious expression on his face: "Young Village Master, is this really serious? I've never seen him care so much about a plaything before." Some of the people raised in the backyard of Qixian Village were only found by him. Some new loves, some are old loves that have been forgotten, and some have given up and left Shonai earlier.

Duy only sighed: "It's always the best if you don't eat it."

Qiutang understood and didn't ask any more questions.
