The fighting in the arena had already begun. Bursts of noise were particularly clear at night. This was only less than 30% of the audience. One could imagine the scene during its heyday.
Chen Rui walked to the door and was stopped by two centaur guards.
"Where's the gambling ticket?"
It turned out that the gambling ticket was the ticket. Chen Rui thought for a while and said, "Excuse me, how can I participate in the competition?"
A centaur looked at Chen Rui and felt that he was powerless. He sneered, "A coward like you still wants to come to the arena to die?"
Chen Rui didn't speak. He just walked forward and held the hammer in his hand. A few finger marks suddenly appeared on the hammer.
This move stunned the two centaurs. Most of the participants in the competition were desperate people. If they provoked such people, it would definitely not end well. One of them immediately said, "If you want to sign up, go straight in and then turn left to the room upstairs."
Chen Rui nodded and walked straight in. He found the room mentioned by the centaur. This room was a large hall with relatively gorgeous furnishings. A table was placed at the door, blocking the entrance. A lich was sitting in front of the table.
"Is the registration for the competition here?"
The lich lazily pointed to the wooden sign at the door. Chen Rui took a look. The sign was written very clearly. The arena fighting competition was divided into three stages according to the level. Low-level competition, intermediate-level competition, and high-level competition. The higher the level, the higher the bonus. The bonus for consecutive wins or challenging consecutive wins would also increase. According to the rules, there was also the difference between empty-handed and weapon. At the bottom, there was a special note: Life and death are your own responsibility.
The lich waited for him to finish reading and said, "If you're sure to participate, report your name and strength level to me now. Generally, your competition will be arranged within three days. You can go to the bulletin board outside the arena to see your number of matches. If you dare to lie about your strength or run away timidly, you will be severely punished by Sir Arux. "
"I'm sure I want to sign up." Chen Rui nodded. The match would only be arranged in 3 days. Before that, he could take a look at the situation of the arena. Not to mention that he used an < Aurora Shot > just now during the negotiation. Plus the one in the poison dragon's special training last night, he had used up the 2 shots within 24 hours. It would take 3 hours to recover.
"Early Intermediate Demon." Chen Rui thought for a moment and removed the "Breath Control" characteristic.
"Middle rank?" The lich looked at this "Demons" in a cloak who weren't that tall. He finally cheered up a little and nodded. "The Beginner's competition lacks excitement. There are too few Higher Demons. The Intermediate's competition is the most, but today's schedule is already full. It's going to be the last match soon. Also, your name."
"Aguile."
"Aguile … I seem to have heard of it somewhere." The lich recalled, but he couldn't remember. He handed an iron plate to Chen Rui, "It doesn't matter what your name is unless you can participate in more than 3 matches alive. Otherwise, the name has no meaning to you. No one will remember the name of a corpse. You'll be number 64 in the future. Remember to pay attention to the bulletin board outside the arena. The competition is usually notified two days before, and it starts at night. Don't miss the time. "
Chen Rui took the plate with the number "64" engraved on it. His eyes inadvertently glanced at the craft sculpture that was emitting a faint light next to the opposite sofa. He suddenly froze there. The sculpture was nearly 1.3 meters high with exquisite craftsmanship. It was in the form of a female Great Demon holding a strange double-headed scythe in her hand.
Chen Rui wasn't looking at the artistic value of the sculpture, but its material, fluorescent stone! Such a big piece of fluorescent stone!
"That's … a sculpture made of fluorescent stone?"
The lich looked back and said proudly, "This is one of Sir Arux's favorite works of art. It's carved from a whole piece of superb fluorescent stone. It will change color every hour. Sir is watching the competition now. Otherwise, he usually likes to sit here and drink."
Chen Rui didn't expect to have such a harvest in the arena. It was really a case of searching far and wide. It was actually a superb fluorescent stone. With this size, it was at least a few thousand auras or even tens of thousands. He had to think of a way to get it. However, there were still rooms in this hall. Could Arux be living here? If so, it would be troublesome.
At this moment, an imp ran in panic and said, "Oh no, Sir Keithahn. No. 52 who was fighting against" Bloody Hand ", Lance, in the next match is missing."
"What!" Keithahn was taken aback, "Did this guy run away because he was afraid of Bloody Hand, Lance's notoriety? Does Sir Arux know? "
The imp replied anxiously, "Sir Arux has already gone to hunt down No. 52. It's just that the last match is coming soon. What should I do?"
The last match was usually the highlight, and the bets were the most. If the match was canceled, the arena would suffer a great loss, and its reputation would drop too.
"Sir Arux's men won't leave anyone alive." Keithahn looked distressed. He turned his eyes and looked at Chen Rui who just signed up. He said, "No. 64, your chance is here. There's a match that happens to be short of one person. If you win, you can get double the bonus!"
Chen Rui's < Aurora Shot > couldn't be used yet. Judging from No. 52's escape and the fact that he could get double the bonus by defeating his opponent, this Bloody Hand, Lance's strength must be quite strong. He wouldn't be that stupid to fight such a terrifying opponent at the beginning of the actual battle.
As Chen Rui was about to refuse, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. He pointed to the hall and said, "I don't want double the bonus. I want that."
Keithahn looked at the direction of his finger. It turned out to be Sir Arux's favorite statue. He quickly shook his head. As he was about to speak, he heard a strange voice from behind, "Yes! As long as you can win Bloody Hand, Lance! "
As soon as Keithahn heard this voice, he quickly stood up respectfully, "Sir Arux!" Before Chen Rui turned his head, a burly figure had appeared in the room in an instant. He was holding a bloody head in his hand and threw it at the imp, "Hang this out to warn those who dare to escape next time."
The head belonged to No. 52 who escaped. Just as Keithahn said, Arux didn't leave anyone alive. The imp picked up the head in fear and retreated. Keithahn immediately cleaned the blood on the ground nimbly.
"If you dare to sign up for the fighting competition, you must have the awareness of death." Arux was a fierce-looking Great Demon. His whole body exuded an undisguised sharpness. His voice was also very strange as if gold and iron collided. "I despise those weak guys the most!"
The description of Arux that he got from Jía immediately appeared in Chen Rui's mind. Arux, one of Joseph's three assistants. His strength was estimated to be at the stable stage of Higher Demon. He was brave and aggressive, cruel and cold …
"You sneaky guy. If you want this statue, exchange it with Lance's head! If you don't dare, get out of the arena now! " The Great Demon's sharp eyes fell on Chen Rui's face. Fortunately, Chen Rui had worn a metal mask to cover his true face during the negotiation today just in case.
Chen Rui thought quickly and finally made up his mind, "When do we start?"
Arux saw that the cloaked man wasn't timid and nodded with satisfaction, "Right away!"
In the arena, the noise rose and fell one after another because Bloody Hand, Lance was already on the stage, but his opponent, No. 52, did not appear.
At this time, a scantily dressed succubus twisted her waist and walked to the stage. With the power of the magic amplification, she said, "Everyone! I just received the news that No. 52 has been killed by Sir Arux because of his cowardice. However, the exciting game is not canceled! A mysterious No. 64 will replace No. 52 to challenge No. 17, 'Bloody Hand', Lance who has four consecutive wins! The original bet is still valid! "
The audience previously saw the imp hanging a bloody head on the high pole, so they had already guessed No. 52's ending. When they heard that the game would continue, their emotions rose again.
Judging from the cheers of the audience, most of them were optimistic about Bloody Hand, Lance, who had won three consecutive wins in the previous games. When No. 64 appeared on the stage, his relatively small figure made more of the audience lean towards Lance's side. Only a small number of people who originally bet on No. 52 had a fluke mentality for this mysterious masked man.
"Bloody Hand", Lance was a strong centaur with a fierce look. Judging from the record of three consecutive wins, he was definitely an experienced veteran. When the two faced each other on the stage, Lance grinned, revealing his white fangs, "Kid, wearing a mask to act mysterious? Don't worry, I don't care what you look like. What I care about is how to torture you. Generally, I like to break the enemy's limbs first, then dig out the heart, and finally crush the head. Are you ready? "
Cruelty and violence had always been the theme of the arena. For the Demon Realm that advocated power, the more intense and bloody the battle, the more it could arouse the audience's climax. These words made more people shout Lance's name.
Chen Rui ignored Lance. The scenes of the poison dragon's special training appeared in his mind. Although the poison dragon usually fought fiercely, he had a sense of propriety. However, it was different now. It was a real battle of life and death. But, he didn't regret it. Sooner or later, it would come sooner or later. He had to face the actual combat eventually. The young eagle always learned to fly after being pushed off the cliff by the eagle again and again. What Chen Rui did was nothing more than pushing himself off the cliff.
This battle was not only his first battle in the arena, but it was also his maiden battle in the true sense since he was reborn to the Demon Realm.
"No. 64, do you have any battle declaration?" The coquettish succubus put her hand that was casting the magic amplification closer to Chen Rui.
"What are my odds?"
Chen Rui's question stunned the succubus, then she replied skillfully, "Since you replaced No. 52, almost no one bet on No. 52 to win, so your odds are now 1: 120."
"The odds are so high? So, if I bet on myself, I can win back 120 times? " Chen Rui untied his cloak, threw it on the ground, and threw a black crystal coin to the succubus, "I'll bet 1 black crystal coin on myself to win."
The succubus didn't expect the mysterious No. 64 to do this. She took the black crystal coin and was at a loss for a moment. At this time, a metallic voice sounded, "Bet accepted!"
"It's Sir Arux!" The audience looked at the Great Demon who appeared at the VIP seat. Their eyes were full of awe.
No. 64's approach was undoubtedly a provocation and demonstration to Lance, but almost no one believed that this guy in a cloak could win against bloody hands who had four consecutive wins.
