Skeleton King

Chapter 284 The Prelude to the Battle

The dagger in Ace's hand was as dexterous as a butterfly, and quickly removed the excess gravel from the little thing, and Ace was sure that the little thing was unharmed.Not only because Ace was careful enough, but also because of the appearance of this little thing - the gray-green solid carapace, the plastron is white, and after Ace put it on the ground for a long time, a triangular head poked out cautiously .

Obviously, it's in good shape.

But after confirming its race, no one will be surprised.Whether it is the round carapace that is different from the oval carapace of most turtles, or the aura similar to the Heavenly Shield Sword Master, it all shows that this little thing's race is the Sky Shield Turtle, which is also extinct in the World of Warcraft Forest.

It may be because of the contract between Ace and the Sword Master of the Sky Shield, the little Sky Shield Turtle could feel the aura of the same race from Ace, and after poking its head for a while, it crawled in the direction of Ace hesitantly, slowly It slowly climbed onto Ace's shoes, and after making sure there was no danger, it lazily shrank its head back, as if satisfied with its new home.

Ace grabbed the little sky shield tortoise dumbfoundingly, and didn't know what to do with it for a while.

Little Sky Shield has not yet activated its intelligence, and cannot communicate with Ace, but Ace does not want to treat it like the little stone beast, because it may cause irreversible damage to its spirit, and may even cause it to be unable to activate its intelligence in the future .Before the status of the Sky Shield tortoise population is determined, every living Sky Shield tortoise is extremely precious.

Jacob and the others are coming to the amphitheatre, and then they will ask the Heavenly Shield Sword Master, Ace planned.

……

The time when the star power is at its strongest at night has passed.

Under the amphitheater, the astrological puppets come out day and night. Theoretically, the astrological puppets never get tired, but in many cases their spirits are weaker than ordinary humans of the same level. Whether it is high-intensity training or fighting, it will speed up their souls. The speed of collapse.As far as they are concerned, only by practicing one piece and one piece of relaxation can they last for a long time.

The longer he stays near the amphitheatre, the deeper Ace's research on the astrological puppets will be. As his understanding increased, so did his doubts.

At first, everyone including Ace thought it was hatred, that's why the self-destruction of astrological puppets happened in the imperial capital of Pansy Empire and the city that never sleeps. Abandoning humanity and being emotionless, but getting along with them day and night, Ace discovered that the truth is not the case.

Thousands of years have passed, not only in this world, but also the origin of the small plane is rarely known here, and it seems that it has been submerged in the long river of history.The astrological puppets who still retain the memories of the past, like Johannes, the village head of Hongyan Village, keep silent about these unfortunate pasts. More astrological puppets even think that they are born like this after sleeping and waking up. Indestructible, the runes are gorgeous and powerful.

For them, the unreachable other plane is far less dangerous than the sudden appearance of stone beasts outside the village. Only these stone beasts can jam their throats, completely destroy their bodies, and make them never again. No chance of waking up.

It's amazing that the people in power of the two planes and their top-notch combat power have used a lot of resources for this war, and even embraced the determination to fight to the death, but the ordinary people, they are still day after day, Living an ordinary life year after year, only a few people with a keen sense of smell can get a glimpse of anomalies from the mobilization of supplies and the actions of the Knights.

Ace began to think, if it weren't for the hatred that is as insoluble as ice and as scorching as flames, would this war have other directions?

In the second month after Ace and the others arrived in the Colosseum, Nou regained his sobriety.

"The fusion of star power and vindictiveness has already begun. When the fusion is over, I will fight here again to recover my vindictiveness, and I will not be affected by magic elements." Nuoou is in good condition, and the way ahead is clear. Existence is only a matter of time.

Ace said suddenly, "I'm going to explore the Colosseum."

Nou said immediately, "I'll go with you."

Ace agrees.

The circular arena will open once a month, and every time the circular arena is opened, it is also a grand event on the small plane.Although there are arenas near other villages on the small plane, their scale is far from comparable to this one.

The inspection at the entrance of the amphitheater is very simple. Enter star power into the stone at the entrance, and small gravels with the coat of arms will fall out.These coats of arms represent the village to which each astrological golem belongs, and correspond to a certain stone gate in the amphitheatre.Ace's coat of arms is a red square, which is the symbol of Hongyan Village.

Every time the amphitheater is opened, villagers from hundreds of villages will participate. Hongyan Village is recognized by the amphitheater, but its coat of arms has hardly appeared here. It can be said that this is an incomprehensible thing.

Just like the top auction in the Pansy Empire Imperial Capital, the venue will specially leave boxes for the big nobles, even the big nobles who are not resident in the Imperial Capital, there will be people from the family going to the auction every few years. No one took a look at it for a hundred years, not to mention that there were almost no other entertainment activities in the small plane except for competitions.

However, the astrological puppet guarding the entrance of the amphitheater just handed the gravel to Ace and the others mechanically, and then turned to do other things.

Astrological puppets are not curious.

Their lives are day after day, year after year, and the more this is the case, the more Ace feels that the village on the other side of the Grand Canyon is special.

Ace and the others walked up the stone steps slowly, looking no different from the surrounding villagers.The gate of Hongyan Village is on the fourth floor of the amphitheatre, the farthest away from the arena, the location is remote, and the viewing angle is not good. Compared with the bustling villagers in other areas, there are only three of them here, so it looks a little deserted.

If you asked Ace before, what do you think the Colosseum looks like?

Ace would say that it was probably like the football stadium in his previous life, and all the audience looked forward to a hearty football game.But now he won't do that.At this moment, the amphitheater is a quieter place than a library, there is no sound of pages being turned, or even the sound of people breathing—because astrological puppets don't need to breathe.Such a huge arena is so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground can be heard.

Until two fighters jumped onto the arena.

Every time the opening battle of the amphitheater belongs to the newly awakened warriors of the Golden Village and Ghostface Village, it is a test and an honor.

The sound of the soldiers from the two villages of Gold Village and Grimace Village jumping onto the arena was like the roar of a machine. Before this thought was finished in Ace's mind, he realized that what he heard just now was the sound of the entire amphitheatre. The puppet sighed.

The grudges of both sides are golden, like beams of light soaring into the sky.

In an instant, Little John behind Ace couldn't help but exclaimed.

They already know that the fighters in the opening battle must have been awake for less than 3 years, and at this moment, the grudges displayed by the two fighters in the arena seem to be real, but they are not materialized like the Muse princess back then. Whip, not far behind.According to the evaluation standards for swordsmen in this world, they have already reached the peak of level 8, and they are only one step away from level 9.

Is this the real strength of the little plane?

As usual, Little John's exclamation was obvious in the Colosseum, but now, no puppet noticed him.Little John's eyes were fixed on the two soldiers.Nuo Ou sat there calmly, the strength of these two fighters was still beyond his eyes, for the holy rank, all below the holy rank were ants.Ace's eyes were on the astrological puppets around them. As the battle started, the emotions of these puppets gradually changed.

The golden grudges collided, and the strength of the two fighters was evenly matched. The half-materialized grudges shot in all directions like small ice cones—even though it was so far away, Ace felt the sharpness of these small ice cones, and even more so. Not to mention the other puppets in the arena, they are closer to the arena, and their strength is also uneven.Many puppets in the front row couldn't bear the oncoming hurricane, and fell directly on their seats; there were no seats above the third floor of the arena, and the puppets were all standing there, their fists clenched tightly, and their expressions became excited.

The golden lion roared in the arena—a huge lion shadow appeared behind the warriors of the Golden Village. The warriors had disheveled black hair like a bloodthirsty beast. He and the phantom behind him roared at the same time.

puff-

Ace vaguely thought he heard the simultaneous heartbeats of the astrology puppets throughout the Colosseum.

The roar of the Golden Village fighters in the arena was like opening an invisible valve.

All the astrological puppets seemed to be possessed. They raised their feet, stomped on the ground, waved their arms, and shouted for the soldiers they supported.There are also many puppets, none of them support any fighters, they simply cheer for the aesthetics of this violence and vent their emotions to their heart's content.

It was as if this was the football league game everyone had been waiting for.

Compared with them not long ago, all the puppets seemed to be schizophrenic.Ace also noticed Little John's movements, and Little John's emotions became a little excited, for this grand contest.However, he was not affected by the formation as much as other puppets.

In Ace's eyes, compared to the raging battle in the arena, the formations under their feet are even more dazzling-the golden formations are bright and dark, like stars in the sky, and the complex runes are endless with the formations of the Grand Canyon The same, but there are similarities.The functions of these formations are almost the same, they smash the calm shell of the astrology puppets, and release the madness in their human nature.

In the few months under the arena, Ace has thoroughly grasped the tens of thousands of small formations on the periphery.He even imagined what he would do if he were to design the formation of the circular arena.

But the formation in the arena far exceeded his expectations.

According to his previous idea, he should remove the defensive and offensive parts of the circular arena's formation one by one.In his eyes, only the core parts of these formations remained.

At this moment, if any astrological puppet turns around, they will notice the black-haired priest standing on the fourth floor of the arena. The green eyes of the priest are like mysterious lakes, and golden runes continuously emerge from it. These runes surround and form a Another formation.While the old formations sank and dimmed, new formations appeared.

Even the temperament of the young priest's body has become more and more unpredictable.

So, is this the real purpose of your amphitheater?

Ace was amazed by the imaginative vision of Tsval, the lord of the small plane - Tsval spent a lot of money to transform the other side of the Grand Canyon, allowing the villagers in Hongyan Village, Huba Village and Buffon Village to retain their humanity as human beings. Even the villagers of Xueyan Village, who moved in later, adapted well there, but the disadvantages are obvious. Their bodies are obviously not as strong as other astrological puppets, and the newly awakened astrological puppets in the Grand Canyon have much weaker fighting consciousness. .

The amphitheater also created an environment similar to the Grand Canyon, and combined with the fighting rhythm of the fighters in the arena, it opened the shackles on the astrological puppets.However, is it really good for them to loosen the shackles that imprison the soul in this way once a month in the amphitheatre, and let the humanity of the astrological puppets switch between extreme coldness and madness?

Will it also cause some side effects, making their souls collapse faster?

Ace fell into thought again.
