Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1294: Prison Arena of Inmates
Every major city in the Eternal World usually had an Inmate Arena similar to the gladiator arena on Earth — places filled with brutality and blood. Each deathmatch gladiator is a slave whose fate is in the hands of others where they have only two paths to survive. One was to constantly kill their opponents in the Convict Arena, and the second was to attract the attention of a potential rich figure who would buy them.
Immortal Solicit City alone could only be considered a medium-sized city in the Eternal World. Due to its location, the Convict Arena was built here. After all, this Eternal Domain was far more barren than any other crowded domain, so more and more outcasts and inmates were here.
“The place is in front, Sire.”
Following beside Tang Xiu, the Dragon Broker boy nodded and said after they spent half a day running and arrived at a dark castle thousands of meters high. Even with his incredible vision, Tang Xiu soon realized that he could not see the end of the castle at all.
“The size of this place doesn't seem small, does it?” Tang Xiu asked.
“As you said, Sire.” Dragon Broker replied, This little “Si has heard a lot of rumors even though this one has never been to another city. Rumor had it that even the Convict Arena in the big cities was not as big as the Solicit Immortal City. Because of this, many gamblers from other Eternal Domains came here to gamble. ”
“You seem to know a lot about this Prisoner Arena.” Tang Xiu smiled and said, “Did you come here often to play some games?”
“Why does this little one have spare money to play such games, Sire? This little guy was always poor and could barely survive. ” The boy smiled blankly. “Only ... many outsiders come here to gamble and they need this little one to guide them. Thus, this little one has accompanied many gamblers wherever they go. Seeing how some of them suddenly got rich overnight and watching more go broke. So...”
Tang Xiu looked thoughtful and smilingly asked, “So what?”
“So this little one lost the courage to go to places like this,” the teenager replied wryly. “This little guy always advises every rich guy who hired me wisely, hope they don't bet on this place.”
Tang Xiu patted her on the shoulder and gave her a relaxing pill. He chuckled and said, Well, you're not evil, son. At least you're not lost. Anyway, let's go! It's been a long time since I last played betting at the Convict Arena, you know. I will play some games today and try to win some money to buy some gladiators. ”
A warm feeling flooded the Dragon Broker's heart when he saw the potion in his hand. However, his expression seemed complicated as he had never met anyone so generous for his service even though he had served thousands of rich people as guides before.
“May I know your honorable name, Sire?”
“You can call me Mr. Great Tang,” replied Tang Xiu calmly.
“Lord Great Tang, this humble one has no right to advise you or anything, but to look at the potion this Sir gave me, these unworthy ones really hope you don't bet too much. There were too many Gods that ended up miserable after losing the gamble in this Convict Arena. ”
“I know. I'll just have a small bet for fun. ” Tang Xiu nodded calmly. He then glanced at the dozens of steadfast men standing outside the 100-meter-high gate. To his surprise, these people were unexpectedly Gold Gods.
“Welcome, two honored guests. Do you want to rent a barouche? ” A Dragonkin girl with horns on her forehead approaches with a slender arched waist that sways and asks with a smile.
“How much is it?” Tang Xiu asked.
The dragon girl replied, “Only 10 Everlasting Stones for an ordinary barouche and 100 Everlasting Stones for a beautiful one. Each barouche can be used for an indefinite amount of time, so even if the two Masters wanted to remain in it for thousands of years, it would not be a problem. ”
Tang Xiu took out 100 Immortal Stones and casually handed them to him. “Please give me a beautiful barouche.”
After which, he turned to Dragon Broker and asked, “You drove it.”
“At your command, Sire!”
Dragon Broker seemed a little happy because he liked to ride barouches and ride them many times. To him, the feeling of driving it was much cooler than flying with a sword. After they chose the ship-shaped barouche, Tang Xiu took a seat inside and watched as the teenager skillfully rode it to fly inside.
Both sides of the straight path in the interior space were filled with open stalls selling weapons, potions, talismans, and many others. Everything was available for sale here as long as the item was considered an ordinary item in the Eternal World.
Tang Xiu himself had frequented such a place many times and naturally knew that almost all of the items here were for cultivators. Generally speaking, a stronger person who managed to break through the Immortal rank would never buy anything at such a low-grade stall.
However, he really needed such things. After all, almost everyone in his Great Tang Kingdom had yet to break through to the Eternal Stage, so the items sold here were very useful to them.
“Dragon Broker, tell me a kiosk that has complete goods and reasonable price,” Tang Xiu said calmly.
“What do you really want to buy, Mr Great Tang? Do you have a detailed number? ” Dragon Broker inquires with doubtful face.
“Well, every pill for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, talismans, weapons, refining ingredients, and potions for alchemy,” add Tang Xiu.
“You helped me deal with it and I will give you 10 Immortal Crystals as your reward when I leave,” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
10?
The teenager's body trembled before an expression of excitement replaced his other expression. It should be known that 100 Immortal Crystals were equal to 1,000 Immortal Stones, all of which were enough for him to use for several years.
“Don't worry, Mr. Great Tang. I promise to manage it well so that you can purchase the most resources with the fewest Immortal Stones. ” Dragon Broker guaranteed and pat his chest.
Before long, the two were in no hurry to rush to the Convict Arena but spent four days shopping. They only stopped shopping after Tang Xiu spent 20 million Immortal Stones and prepared an entire cultivation resource sufficient to be consumed by over 200,000 people of the Great Tang Empire for 100 years.
For Dragon Broker, there was no time as stimulating as these four days. The feeling of spending money like pouring water had made his veins swell all the time. He continued to look at Tang Xiu as if he was some kind of God.
“Hah ..”
When the two of them came out of a stall, Dragon Broker took a deep breath, wiped the sweat on his forehead and respectfully said, “Great Lord Tang, will we head to the Convict Arena next?”
“Take me to the High-grade Prisoner Arena,” Tang Xiu said.
“It is required that gamblers must prove their wealth before entering the high-level Prisoner Arena, Sir. They should have at least 10,000 Immortal Crystals. ”
Tang Xiu nodded and ordered, “We will not be subject to such limited entries. Go over there! ”
“Understanding!”
The boy himself had witnessed Tang Xiu's expenditure lately, so he naturally knew that Tang Xiu had so many Immortal Stones and Crystals. Therefore, after he brought them to the deepest part of the Convict Arena, he said to the guards outside and said, “Two Masters, we already know the rules.”
Tang Xiu handed over the interspatial ring. After the two guards verified that, they immediately invited them in with a respectful face.
The Convict Arena itself was an independent space spanning hundreds of kilometers with a height of nearly one kilometer. It was built like a gladiator arena on Earth surrounded by a colosseum-like auditorium that was enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.200 km to the center was the arena for deathmatch gladiators participating in the fight.
By this time, thousands of gamblers were already inside the auditorium, staring at the two gladiators in the arena. The two combatants were neither pure humans nor pure immortals. One of the warriors was a Leopardkin male with the power of the Earth Immortal Stage, and his bare upper body was covered with fine iron chains as he swung the immortal sword that created overlapping layers of swords around him. The other fighter was a Featherkin man with a human appearance with two pairs of wings on his back. At this moment, he flapped his wings and immediately sent a red layer of blades at odds with the formation's attack.
Tang Xiu randomly chose a place to sit down and calmly watched the fight of these two Earth Gods. With his sharp eyesight, he could easily see that the Earth Immortal-headed tiger whose body was covered with steel chains had fallen into a weaker position and was about to be killed by his opponent.
The Dragon Brokers did not accompany Tang Xiu to sit down but slipped away into the surroundings towards the row of iron cages that could be seen in the North direction, with each cage guarded by an Immortal. Price tags and information on the planting of these death gladiators and their battle records in the arena were displayed in each cage.
Immediately after, the Earth Leopard-headed Immortal was killed by his opponent. Dragon Broker retreated and stopped behind Tang Xiu, reporting in a whisper, “Great Master Tang, please, I was just wondering and there would be 4 high-level battles three days later where all 8 Immortal Gold deathmatch warriors would fight. The last four winners would win, while the other four would die in the Convict Arena. At that time, some high-class gamblers from some Immortal Domains would come to participate in the gamble. ”
A glint flashed across Tang Xiu's eyes and he nodded in response. “If so, we will stay here for two days and use the winning money to buy some cultivation resources in high-end stores.”
Dragon Broker hastily replied, “A-are .. Are you sure you can win, Sir Great Tang?”
“You know, there is a saying in some places that you should avoid doing things that you can't handle. I wouldn't have come here if I didn't have the confidence. Of course, you might think that I am arrogant, but I have decided to have fun anyway. ”
After saying that, he gave the interspatial ring to Dragon Broker and lightly said, “There are 100,000 Immortal Crystals inside. You helped me to place my bets with this. ”
“O-one ... hundred thousand Crystals Lasting?”
The teenager trembled and replied with a slight face of fear, “S-Master Great Tang.. isn't this? So many Eternal Crystals, just in case .. ”
“Just follow my order and give me a question about my decision, right?” Tang Xiu lightly said, “If you are incompetent, I can replace you with someone else.”
“Ya, yes ... I will listen to your order.”
The Dragon Broker's expression changed and he soon realized that he was talking too much. After taking an interspatial with 100,000 Immortal Crystals inside and placing a bet, he returned and stood beside Tang Xiu, waiting for the start of his next fight and a huge gamble.
