C326 – Shiny Debut
Posted on January 2, 2019 by AzureOrchid92
Shao Xuan followed Su Gu as they entered the Colosseum together.
Inside the huge Colosseum, around the edge was the stands. In the middle, there was a nearly 10,000 square meter pit, similar to the pits outside the Colosseum. Just that, the size of the place was larger with a more exquisite structure.
The sunken pit made Shao Xuan think of the crater of the bat mountain.
The walls of the pit were made up of huge stones. Looking at the stones, he thought it was at least moderate level. For a lot of slaves who couldn’t even use good stones, the building here was simply luxurious.
The kings of each city came to their respective places with their slave owners and their slaves.
In the place where the king was situated, there was a set of specially hung cloth used to shade or block the sun or snow. A few of the carved bamboo sticks were there too and the slaves quickly put the cloth over it as they went over. Even if there was no sun today, it could also be used to block the snow.
The man who presided over this beast game was naturally the king from the three great cities. They took turns to preside every year, and this year was the turn of the Snowfield City.
The king of Snowfield city first sent the people of the city’s big slave owners in the order he had arranged. Su Gu went over to Su Lun to take a look. Then, he returned, raising his four fingers to Shao Xuan which was to say that the beast game arranged by the Baishi City today was on the fourth.
“The first is the Snowfield City with their own arrangement for the opening war. Unexpectedly, it was arranged by the king himself!” Su Gu exclaimed. The order of arrangement was not meticulously written. There was only a serial number. However, this opening of the game was usually prepared with more details, almost as if the Snowfield City slave owners were trying to boast.
Although the battle in the Colosseum was only for the entertainment of the great slave owners, the slaves used it for the merits. However, for the other slave owners, especially those who were trying to compete for the throne, they would use it in this way in front of their king to prove their strength. If they won, they would have a light on their faces.
After the king of Snowfield City announced the start, the field was quiet.
Rumble~
Inside the pit, the huge slate door lifting resounded.
Shao Xuan listened to the sound of the thick stone gate, and then looked at the huge slate. He was sure that the stone slab was at least a superior stone. It was better than the rocks on the pit wall. In the tribe, such a good stone might be used to make weapons, but here, the slave owners just used it to build a door! That was a whole piece of fine stone, not pieced together. To find such a stone, the difficulty was not small.
Especially if it was compared to the weapons in the hands of most of the lower to middle ranked slaves and looking at the facilities in the Colosseum. If the tribes were here, they would not understand the thinking of the slave owners. Wasn’t that a waste?! What a luxury!!
After the heavy stone gate opened, he did not see a large body of a fierce beast but a man stood there with gold glitters. He was even shinier than the golden fur he had worn.
It was a young master of Snowfield City that was in the opening game.
After Shao Xuan saw the Snowfield City’s young master, he suddenly felt extremely shocked. It was not that the person was dazzling, but that the equipment in his body made Shao Xuan quite surprised.
Anyone who was in a stone-clad environment suddenly seeing a man in metal armor would be.
Even before Shao Xuan saw Su Gu’s treasure with that piece of gold, he had thought of whether there was a metal mine here. After all, from the beginning to the present, Shao Xuan never found a suitable smelting metal ore. Originally, he thought that this world only has unique stones but no ores existed. Even if he knew it was difficult to find, he still gave up looking for a metal mine. In the desert, while in contact with the Su Gu and the other slave owners, Shao Xuan also did not see them use metal equipment. Even their knives was the same as Shao Xuan’s stone knife, but the style was a little more extravagant.
But now, Shao Xuan’s original idea collapsed.
In Snowfield City, this master wore an approximate golden armor as he entered with a large axe in his hand similar to gold. The axe’s body depicted a number of patterns with the edge having a circular arc.
Gold?
No. It couldn’t be gold.
Bronze?!
As he thought of this point, Shao Xuan heart suddenly set off waves. If it was bronze, was there a metal mine in Snowfield City?
Looking at the other slave owners, he noticed that, in addition to envy and hate, there was no shock, including Su Gu, which showed that they knew there waa such a metal existing.
“How is it? Surprised?” Su Gu saw Shao Xuan’s expression and laughed. “That is made out of stone. But with regards to those stones, almost 99% of them are in the hands of the three big cities.”
Ore.
The ores they could smelt to metal were in the hands of the three big cities. But where did those ores came from?
“Don’t you think those people are crazy?” Su Gu asked as he looked at the Snowfield City’s young master in the field wearing that dazzling armor and axe. His eyes flashed with strong envy and jealousy, muttering, “Showing their powerful strength.”
Thinking of something, Su Gu lowered his voice as he continued speaking to Shao Xuan. “Although outside the three big cities, there were other cities also having it, but most were gifts from the three big cities. There were also in the hands of the kings in each city like father’s knife is. And you tribes are playing with this idea.”
Shao Xuan’s eyelid twitched. What Su Gu meant was that the other tribes were thinking of the metal ore idea of the three cities?!
No wonder he always felt that there were more secrets with the tribes who came over to the desert. It seemed that one of the secrets was these metals!
In the field, the young master of Snowfield City wore the golden armor, then in his hand, he held the axe and roared loudly.
The people in other cities have not reacted. Only the people on the Snowfield’s side immediately followed his howling to cheer their own young master. The answering scream was always inspiring.
Rumble—
In the opposite field, another heavy stone gate opened.
A giant beast with a height of nearly ten meters came into the field from the door. Its stout limbs and fleshy body appeared thick and heavy, looking somewhat like a rhinoceros without horns. Every step of the way, it would make a banging sound and the ground inside the field was also shaken up with dust. The green skin, unknown if it was because of acclimatizion or other reasons, cracked.
“Hey.”
Shao Xuan heard someone whisper to Su Gu, “This beast doesn’t seem to be as powerful as it looks.”
Not only the Luoye City’s side, the people in other cities also checked it out. This just looked big, but its offense and threat was not comparable to other that could play in the Beast City Colosseum. Moreover, this beast was mostly vegetarian. It was not known from where the Snowfield people found this fierce beast, since it couldn’t evem live in the desert.
Some people despised this. No wonder this Snowfield young master dared to start the opening battle. Finding such a fierce beast was really too funny.
But the people of Snowfield City would argue. “You can do it! Even if this beast only has its appearance, then what? At least we have our young master willing to play!”
These people immediately snorted. Even if it was a relatively weak beast, it was still a fierce beast. The next to fight would have a greater risk. With that stout fat leg’s pressure that could turn one into a patty, a real fight would be trouble and a rescue from the people in the stands would be too late. They still cherished their lives.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The huge body walking in the entrance, probably because it was not accustomed to the atmosphere here, released a loud roar like a demonstration.
The dull, thunder-like roar of the beast called out to the ring in the Colosseum.
It was like they heard a signal. Not waiting for the roar of the beast to stop, the young slave owners on the stands began to scream at ring.
“Hey—”
“Yes, yes! Start the killing!”
Although the people from other cities saw the golden equipment of the Snowfield young master and the only seemingly fierce beast together on stage and their hearts somewhat had ideas, but with the other people’s roars, their moods were also driven up. At such times, who would wish for so much? They were here to enjoy. Even the clever young female slave owners who had been dressed up in the morning screamed aloud.
For a time, the whole field was like water boiling. The atmosphere was warm.
Each of the great slave owners who came into this place brought hundreds of people. The three big cities even had more people, therefore, summing up, there were thousands of people here.
Around the Colosseum, the sound waves was like a vortex, seeming to suck everybody into the general mood. The people in the stands, even if they were calm at first, would be affected by such an atmosphere.
Not sure when I could upload a chapter again. I got lazy yesterday and sick today, but at least I finished this one.
(ﾉ*°▽°)ﾉ
Anyway, I’m not sure if I made a mistake with the chapters regarding the preparation before going to Beast City, like what happened to the other tribes. I thought they went to Beast City too. I’ll look into it once I’m done with all the chapters and reread this again.
