Chapter Seven The Hunter
"Sharur, kill him!"
In the fighting arena under the heavy metal music, the roars of the surrounding crowd were like a group of wild beasts. The strong man holding an ax, Shalur, succeeded in consecutive attacks, forcing the opponent's body to the corner of the fighting arena.
There was blood overflowing from under the ghost mask of the white ghost, and his arms were shaking. He was an ordinary person. He owed usury in a casino and had his hand chopped off. By the way, he arranged for a "doctor" to install a mechanical arm for him, but as a
The price required him to participate in fighting to repay his debt. After a period of training, he entered the fighting field and won several victories until today when he met Shahr.
"I don't want to die!" The face under the white ghost mask was pale, and his eyes were coldly staring at Shahur who was walking towards this direction. The sound of music and the roar of the surrounding people all stimulated his nerves, and he roared crazily.
With a sound, his body shot up, and his arms shot out at the same time, trying to pierce the oppressive Shaur.
Shahur raised his giant shield in front of him. There was a loud clang. The shield blocked one mechanical arm, while the other mechanical arm grabbed his exposed leg, and the sharp blade directly tore it apart.
The skin is bleeding.
Shahur roared and moved the shield away, and the ax in his hand flew out.
"Pfft..." The ax hit the Ghost Faced Man's head directly, and the huge force split the head open. The bloody and terrifying scene made Xu Mo close his eyes, and his heart trembled, it was so cruel.
But there were loud cheers all around the fighting arena, like a group of crazy beasts roaring to tear apart their prey, which made him feel a little out of place, as if he was separated from the world in front of him.
Someone came to the fighting arena to clean up. After enjoying the cheers, the injured Shaluer walked to the passage opposite Xu Mo, and the roar of the crowd gradually died down.
"Sacher is so powerful. He has won five games in a row. I don't know how much the appearance fee is."
"It depends on the opponent. This fight with the white ghost will probably earn a lot of money. If you encounter a strong opponent later, the appearance fee will only be higher."
"It's so fucking profitable, I want to steal the money too."
"You are going to die."
The surrounding chatter was heard one after another, and it penetrated into Xu Mo's ears. It seemed a bit like boxing in the previous life, but it was more bloody and cruel, and life was used as a bet.
"Who will be next?" someone asked.
"I just saw Ryan entering the backstage, maybe he will fight."
"Ryan, he has won three games in a row, so he is not weak."
"Well, Ryan is a member of Cobra. If he comes to fight, I'm afraid it's because of Cobra's instructions. He'll fight with his hands. It's really cruel."
"Shh, do you want to die?"
"Lian?" Xu Mo secretly thought, is it the murderer? The passage the other party walked into just now should be the backstage of the fighting arena, and his senses cannot spy into it.
Most of the people around him didn't leave, and Xu Mo didn't leave either. After waiting for a while, the passage opposite Xu Mo opened, and two figures walked onto the fighting field and stood in the two circles of light on the left and right.
"It's him!" Xu Mo stared at the person on the left side of the fighting arena. He wore a silver helmet and metal arm guards on his hands, protecting the upper part of his wrists. His opponent was more burly and holding a steel knife.
, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Challenger, win three times against Ryan; challenger, win three times with a sword." A metallic sound resounded in the sky above the fighting arena, instantly detonating the surroundings of the fighting arena.
Both of them have three wins. If they meet on a narrow road, whoever wins will win four, and whoever loses will die.
The explosive heavy metal music blasted in the eardrums, and amid the roar of the crowd, another voice came: "Start!"
As the voice fell, Bai Jian walked towards Ryan step by step with a steel knife in hand. Ryan stood there with his arms raised and made a blocking gesture.
Amidst the violent music, the steel knife in Bai Jian's hand slashed straight down, full of violent beauty, and Ryan raised his arm to block.
"Dang..." A sharp and harsh sound was mixed with the music and roars. Ryan's arms were shaken down and he took a step back.
The movement in Bai Ren's hand did not stop, and the steel knife struck down again, as if it contained a huge amount of power.
"Dang, Dang, block..."
The sound of violent collisions was heard continuously, stimulating the nerves of the crowd. Ryan stepped back step by step, his arms feeling numb.
"Kick him to death, chop him to death!"
Seeing that the white blade has the upper hand, the wild roar is overwhelming, and I want to see the white blade chop Ryan to death.
Xu Mo stared at the battlefield. Although the sword had the upper hand, it had exposed a lot of flaws. If Ryan still had the strength to spare, as long as he seized the opportunity to counterattack, the victory or defeat would be reversed in an instant.
Seemingly stimulated by the shouts, the white blade became even wilder. He held the steel knife in both hands and gathered stronger power to strike down, hoping to finish the battle and kill Ryan.
"Tsk..." The sound of metal friction sounded, sharp and harsh. Ryan's arm took advantage of the situation to release force, causing the opponent's body to also move downward with inertia. At this moment, Ryan suddenly burst out and threw his right arm violently.
, the steel arm guard hit the opponent's head directly.
Blood splashed out, and the opponent's head was smashed directly, and his body was also smashed to the left side. Blood continued to flow out, and his body twitched in pain.
The crowd around the fighting arena went completely crazy.
"Smash him to death, crush him to death!"
The roar had completely overwhelmed the loud music. Ryan stared at the opponent, then picked up the steel knife that the opponent had dropped on the ground and walked towards the white blade. He raised the steel knife and stabbed it directly with the wild roar.
The opponent's head and blood spattered on his body.
Xu Mo did not close his eyes this time and kept staring at the fighting field. The sound of the surrounding mountains and tsunami seemed to be automatically blocked by him.
He recalled the scene of that day in his mind, the boundless fear of the family of four, the murderer broke into the room and stabbed his parents' hearts with a sharp knife, with a cruel smile in his eyes.
He thought of the powerlessness he felt huddled in the corner, and of the five-year-old girl's hysterical and desperate cry. These images appeared in an instant, filling his mind like a nightmare.
A violent emotion arose in his heart, and Xu Mo turned around and headed out of the crowd.
Amid that wild roar, his figure seemed a little out of place.
This is a barbaric world.
Xu Mo squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the passage that Ryan had walked through before. After entering, there was a door that was blocked by someone.
"I want to participate in fighting." Xu Mo said. One of them opened the door, and the other took Xu Mo into the passage, which was also the backstage of the fighting arena.
A woman in sexy clothes and glasses received her. With a fake smile on her face, she asked: "Sir, do you want to participate in fighting?"
"Yes." Xu Mo nodded.
"Are the rules clear?" the woman asked.
"The loser will die?" Xu Mo asked.
"It depends on the mood of the winner." The woman said with a smile, but in the fighting arena, the winner will basically not show mercy and will choose to kill the opponent.
"How is the appearance fee calculated?" Xu Mo asked.
"It depends on the opponent you challenge, but I won't pay you until you get out of the fighting arena." The woman smiled gently. If she died in the fighting arena, she would naturally not be able to take away the entry fee.
"If I challenge Ryan, how much will the reward be?" Xu Mo asked.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then her smile became even brighter.
Newbie, challenge Ryan?
Although Xu Mo is wearing a mask, his figure still looks thin, especially in the fighting arena. He is definitely one of the thinnest. His voice sounds young, but he actually wants to challenge Ryan?
"I'll do the math." The woman calculated carefully, and then smiled: "If you win, it will be 1,800 federal coins, and if you fail, it will be 300 federal coins. However, I need to ask Mr. Lane if he is willing to accept it."
The entry fee is different if you win or lose, but if you fail, you will most likely not get the entry fee.
"Okay." Xu Mo didn't know how the other party calculated it, but one thousand eight hundred federal coins was not a small amount. The original owner's parents' monthly salary was about two hundred federal coins.
A lot, but definitely not much. If you lose, you will only have three hundred, and there is a high probability that you will keep your life. This is gambling with your life, but even so, some people will still take risks. In the underground world, many people themselves are
On a dead end road.
Of course, the biggest source of newcomers to the fighting arena is the nearby casino, and these are the gamblers.
People like Shaqir and Ryan are already experienced veterans.
"Please wait a moment." The woman left, and Xu Mo could sense that she was walking towards Ryan who was coming down the background. Ryan glanced at him and agreed with some disdain.
The woman came back with a smile and said to Xu Mo: "How do you call me sir? You can use your real name or a code name."
Xu Mo came wearing a mask, so he probably wouldn't use his real name.
"Hunter!" Xu Mo said.
The woman took a serious look at Xu Mo's expression under the mask, hunter!
This codename seems to have a profound meaning.
"Mr. Hunter, please rest backstage first." The woman took Xu Mo to the backstage area. There were several people here. The injured Shachuer had been bandaged and was recuperating. Ryan was shirtless and someone was pinching him.
His arm, in the previous fight, he had consumed a lot of it.
Ryan smiled contemptuously at Xu Mo, as if he were looking at a dead person. Although the appearance fee for fighting a newcomer is not much, it is easy to kill the newcomer. Moreover, continuous appearance can deepen the audience's attention to him. The higher his popularity, the more likely he will appear in the future.
The fees will also be higher.
Xu Mo also stared at Ryan, his eyes under the mask were motionless, which made Ryan frown. From the newcomer's eyes, he saw an extremely strong anger, as if it wanted to swallow him up.
After a while, the woman behind came to Xu Mo and said, "Mr. Hunter, please follow me to the weapons depot to choose weapons."
"Okay." Xu Mo turned his eyes away and followed the woman to the back of another door and came to the armory of the fighting arena. There were all kinds of cold weapons here, of different types and weights.
"You can choose a set or a piece of weapons, or your own weapons. Once confirmed, you are not allowed to use other weapons, otherwise you will be shot dead on the spot." The receptionist reminded Xu Mo.
Xu Mo first filtered out heavyweight weapons. Armor and protective gear were meaningless to him. He wanted offensive weapons.
Xu Mo walked to the knives. There were many different knives here, with different lengths, weights, and hardnesses.
