Chapter 180: The Battle (Part 2)



At the moment the dust rose, a sneer appeared on Yanoboni's lips. He and Blackstone had encountered the same situation many times in the four-man competition in the arena, and they already had a routine to deal with it. To put it bluntly, Wu Lai's move could only slightly interfere with him and Blackstone and slow down their rhythm a little, and even this point could be ignored.

The moment the dust rose, Black Stone's shield instantly flipped back to a tree, blocking Yanobuni, and he also lowered his body and hid behind the shield.

In their previous gladiatorial experiences, when other gladiators saw them doing this, they would think that their method of kicking out the sand had worked. However, when they rushed forward, as long as they took two steps within the range, Blackstone would swing his shield to the side. At the same time, Yanobuni's sword would stab out as swiftly as a poisonous snake. He did not need to kill the enemy, but only needed to stab the opponent's leg to make him pause. Blackstone's shield would then flip up again and use the sharp edge to cut the opponent's throat. Sometimes, the entire head would be cut off. Of course, Yanobuni usually would not stab the legs. He would choose to stab the opponent's crotch. No matter whether the gladiator was a man or a woman, that would be a part that would cause screams.

Yanoboni liked to hear such screams.

Wu Lai rushed to within two steps, and Black Stone turned his shield to the side as usual. Then Yanobuni's sword, mixed with a strong sense of cruelty, stabbed out - "Shua"...

When Yanobuni found that he had stretched out his arm and the tip of the sword did not send back the usual sense of resistance when it entered the flesh, his heart skipped a beat. Then, he heard Blackstone's scolding from above his head...

“Plop”…

Heishi fell heavily to the ground, with a large bloody dent on his head. Because the skull in that area was shattered, bright red blood continued to flow down and seep into the ground.

Evelina and Rebecca were both stunned, because they had witnessed all the gladiatorial matches between Blackstone and Yanoboni, and knew what would happen if Wu Lai was not careful just now.

Even when Wu Lai charged forward with all his might, they still thought he was dead.

The corner of A-Ka’s eye twitched. He thought to himself that Wuleglindo really showed mercy to my men that day. Otherwise…

Iris was delighted and was about to cheer, but her mouth was covered by the loli.

"Shh, don't disturb him, let him fight in peace." Loli leaned close to Iles' ear and whispered.

Elise nodded quickly.

At this time, Wu Lai had retreated to five steps away from Yanobuni. At this distance, Yanobuni could not launch any decent attack on him.

After quickly glancing at the three siblings on the balcony, Wu Lai slowly rubbed his right elbow. Black Stone's head was indeed as hard as a rock. Wu Lai believed that if it were not for the pair of bronze arm guards on his forearms, or if he had not used the arm guards to hit Black Stone but used his unprotected elbow, he would not be able to lift his right arm at this moment.

"Black Stone! Black Stone..." Yanobuni held his sword horizontally for defense while calling out to Black Stone, but Black Stone was only breathing out but not in, so how could he respond?

Yanoboni's heart sank to the freezing point...

Wu Lai looked at Yanobuni with a cold look: "Yano, do you remember what I told you?"

Yanoboni gritted his teeth and pointed the tip of his sword at Wu Lai.

"I told you, in my eyes, you are just a slave, a stupid slave, not even worthy of bringing me a basin of water to wash my feet." Wu Lai raised a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Wu Lai Grindo, you are a bastard!" Yanobuni didn't want to hear this.

"Asshole? Well, if you insist on understanding it this way, I can only follow your will. Yanuo, I think you must really wish that you were not in front of me now, but living an ecstatic aristocratic life in your Hulett territory, right?" Wu Lai smiled slightly and continued, "Yanuo, do you want to know why you two lost?"

Yanoboni was startled.

"That's because you don't want to be a good person, but insist on being a 'tumbler'." Wu Lai said. No one present could understand the word "tumbler", but the copper plate under Yanobuni happened to turn Yanobuni into a tumbler. It allowed Yanobuni to rotate freely, turn sideways at a large angle, and flip backwards at a large angle. It also allowed Yanobuni to reset instantly after these turns and flips were completed, catching the opponent off guard. Of course, all the movements had a common weakness - they could only be completed on the spot.

In order to become a "tumbler", the copper plate must not only have a semicircular arc like a pot, but also have a certain weight.

"Kill him!" When Aka's voice came from the balcony, Yanobuni sighed softly, because he knew that he would never have the chance to stab Wu Lai again.

"Yano, admit defeat and I will spare your life." Wu Lai said.

Yanobuni looked at Wu Lai and frowned suddenly.

"You can't move. I can just lift my leg and kick you into a pulp." Wu Lai was telling the truth. "With my speed, I can just rush two steps in front of you. Even if I'm hit by your sword, the shield will fall into my hands. Then, it will cut you in two."

"Wuliglindo, you are really cruel." Yanobuni narrowed his eyes, turned the rapier slightly, and the tip of the sword was against his left chest.

"Wuli, I'll wait for you in hell." Yanobuni smiled slightly and exerted force with both hands...

"He actually committed suicide?!" Aka couldn't believe his eyes.

Evelina and Rebecca looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes.

Yanobuni's action moved Wu Lai a little. After a heavy sigh, he looked towards the balcony, then stretched out his arm and gently hooked his fingers.

"Asshole, he actually dared to provoke me." Rebecca gritted her teeth and said to Evelina, "Sister, let the masked assassin go."

"No." Evelina frowned and shook her head. After a short pause, she spoke again, "The Masked Assassin is the master's treasure. In a few days, the master plans to have him compete in the Assyrian Gladiator King. If something goes wrong and Wu Lai hurts him, affecting the outcome of the competition, we will be in big trouble."

"Sister is right, but...others may not be a match for Wuleglindo. He can kill Black Stone with one move. I'm afraid that sending others will just die." Rebecca expressed her concerns.

"Hmph, I've thought about it. I won't send other gladiators in for now. I'll just put the big white lion in and kill him directly. What do you think?" Evelina said.

"Big white lion?" Rebecca frowned and thought for a while, then nodded. "It will be no problem for it to kill Wu Lai, but it will be troublesome to drive it back to the cage later."

"That's better than sacrificing the master's manpower." Evelina waved her hand, "Sister, you go and make the arrangements."

Rebecca nodded, stood up, and walked straight from the balcony to the middle courtyard.

A-Ka quickly moved closer to Evelina and said, “Sister, is the great white lion very powerful?”

"This great white lion originally lived in the Forest of Sin. It is a natural alien species. Its shoulder height is six cubits and its body length is eleven and a half cubits. It is heavier than two strong men combined. Half a year ago, the master sent out two thousand cavalrymen and fifteen hundred heavy armored soldiers to capture it. It took half a month to trap it. The fifteen hundred heavy armored soldiers were each equipped with a heavy shield as tall as a person. They used the method of continuously shrinking the encirclement. It took four days to force it into the pre-prepared animal cage pit."

Evelina paused for a moment, then continued, "Even with such a strong formation, it still killed more than 20 heavily armored soldiers, and injured more than 100. Do you think it is powerful?"

“That’s amazing!” A-Ka couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. “So it should be tamed now, right?”

"It's not that easy." Evelina sighed and shook her head. "This white lion has thick skin and flesh. Ordinary blades and feather arrows can't do anything to it. Beating it with a copper chain has no effect other than angering it. Cutting off its food and water doesn't work either. This white lion can go without food or water for half a month, and its energy is still not reduced. Isn't that strange?"

“That’s really strange.” A-Ka nodded quickly. “Is it so difficult to tame a beast? For ordinary wild animals, as long as you feed it every day, it will become closer to you as time goes by.”

“Look at what you said. Can a big white lion be an ordinary wild beast?” Evelina rolled her eyes at Aka.

"That's right, sister, you are right." A-Ka nodded quickly.

While the siblings were talking, Wu Lai quickly walked to the animal cage and said in a low voice, "Lori, Elise, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you."

Loli nodded quickly, but she felt a little sad in her heart. As smart as she was, how could she not see the intentions of the Evelina sisters? Since the other party had deliberately kept Wu Lai, no matter how brave Wu Lai was, he could not withstand the other party's wheel tactics.

"Master, I'm scared." Iris said with tears in her eyes. After all, she was born a commoner and had never seen such a life-and-death fight. Fortunately, Wu Lai came over, otherwise, with her legs so weak, she would not even be able to stand up.

"Don't be afraid, I'm confident." Wu Lai held the two girls' hands, but his confidence was not real. Once the situation that Loli guessed occurred, Wu Lai could only delay for as long as possible.

After a while, Wu Lai heard a beast roar. Although the roar was low, it was very penetrating. It was obviously not a roar, but it made everyone's eardrums buzz...

Wu Lai's heart sank immediately. He guessed what he was about to face - it was definitely a fierce and ferocious beast, otherwise, how could it have such a sharp and domineering roar.

"Don't worry." Wu Lai stood up quickly.

"Be careful." Loli and Iris said in unison.

Wu Lai had no time to answer, he had to prepare for the battle as quickly as possible.

After quickly running to Heishi's body and picking up the heavy shield, Wu Lai quickly carried the shield to a corner of the yard, raised it with all his strength, and thrust it hard, and the shield was firmly stuck into the soil.

"Sister Loli, what is the young master doing?" Iris asked as she watched.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"He did this to make the shield form an angle with the corner of the courtyard, so that..."

Loli stopped talking before she finished, because as the copper gate under the balcony opened, a shrill scream and a white shadow suddenly rushed into the yard.

The scream came from a beast tamer slave, because his right shoulder was currently held in the mouth of the big white lion. After he opened the cage, he felt a flash before his eyes, and then he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

When the big white lion suddenly appeared, Loli and Elise exclaimed at the same time - this beast was far beyond their imagination, because not only was its size horrifying, but the way it appeared with a person in its mouth was too shocking.

Wu Lai's pupils suddenly shrank, but the next moment, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes...

Perhaps because the beast tamer in its mouth was too noisy, the lion simply let go of the slave and threw him to the ground. But don't think he can escape his fate, because in the next moment, the lion bit his neck again...

"Sister..." Aka was almost frightened to death, because the big white lion bit the neck of the tamed slave and then raised its head to pull. Blood splattered and the slave's head and body were separated. This method of killing was much more terrifying than the biting, digging and scratching of other ferocious beasts.

After throwing away the head, the big white lion seemed very proud. It shook its head gently, raised its head, and howled softly...

Wu Lai slowly stood up from behind the shield...

In the yard and on the balcony, everyone's eyes, except those of the big white lion, turned to Wu Lai.

"Master, hide back quickly!" Iress could not help but remind her loudly. It would have been better if she didn't say anything. As soon as she finished speaking, the big white lion pounced in front of the cage and stretched out its claws to grab her. If it weren't for the fact that Loli was careful and pulled her back to the inner corner as soon as Iress spoke, Iress would have been ripped open by now.

The big white lion bent its body and pounced to the left side of the cage, where Klee was lying unconscious, and his legs were less than two elbows away from the edge of the cage...

Just as the great white lion raised its claws for the second time, Wu Lai shouted, "Mengdan!"

The big white lion's body suddenly trembled, and its claws, which were half-stretched out, stopped abruptly. It turned its head to look at Wu Lai, its dark eyes full of confusion.

"Mengdan! It turns out it's really you! Mengdan! I'm your brother! Brother! Do you still remember me?!" Wu Lai shouted in surprise and joy.

The big white lion retracted its claws and stared at Wu Lai with its eyes fixed, as if trying to identify him.

"Mengdan! It's really me! Brother!" Wu Lai shouted.

The big white lion tilted its head but did not move.

"Sister, is Wulai Glindo crazy? What is he shouting?" Aka couldn't help asking, because he didn't understand a word of what Wulai just said, and it was obviously not in Assyrian.

"I don't know either..." Evelina also looked confused.

"Sister Loli, what is the master doing?" Iris asked in a trembling voice. The moment the big white lion pounced on her just now, she thought she was dead. Although she is out of danger now, how can she get rid of the fear in her heart for a while?

Lori shook her head, as she could only guess that Woolley seemed to be talking to the beast.

"Little cute girl!" Wu Lai was even more confident and walked out from behind the shield very decisively. Seeing him like this, the big white lion hesitated for a moment and then took a step slowly.

"Mengdan! Mengdan, look at me!" Wu Lai raised his arms and made a heart shape above his head. His voice suddenly became a little more coquettish. "Mengdan, Mengdan, brother loves you."

The big white lion's eyes lit up and its pace suddenly quickened.

"Yes, that's it, bite him to death!" Aka shouted on the balcony, but he was stunned the next moment.

Because after the big white lion ran to Wu Lai, it not only did not bite Wu Lai as he had imagined, but it circled around Wu Lai happily and even stretched out its tongue to lick the back of Wu Lai's outstretched hand from time to time.

"Mengdan! I've changed, but you haven't. No, you're stronger than before! It's great to see you again." Wu Lai smiled and cried. He couldn't help but squatted down and hugged the big white lion's neck...

"Sister, he, he, he actually knows the big white lion?" Rebecca was almost shocked.

Evelina was even more frightened than Rebecca. She was so stunned that she couldn't hear what Rebecca was saying.

Wu Lai knew this big white lion more than just an acquaintance. To be precise, it was not a lion, but a snow mastiff. In the last two and a half years of Wu Lai's last memory, he had spent time with this snow mastiff. Even the name Mengdan was given by him...

That year, Wu Lai's career entered a stable period. He no longer had to work hard every day like he did at the beginning of his business. So, being active by nature, he packed his bags and went to Tibet alone.

Many days later, Wu Lai began to climb the Nanga Parvati Snow Mountain in Medog County, Nyingchi Prefecture, southeast of Tibet. This snow-capped mountain, with an altitude of more than 7,700 meters, ranks 15th among the world's highest peaks. It is rarely visited by people. Tibetans have always regarded it as a path to heaven, the residence of gods, and a sacred place that mortals cannot disturb...

Several days later, Wu Lai saw a little white mastiff frolicking on the snow slope about 400 meters away from the top of the snowy peak. Its white fur sparkled like crystal in the sunlight...

A few days later, when Wu Lai was carrying the little white mastiff back to the small temple at the corner of the peak, the old lama who had practiced alone in the temple for decades told Wu Lai: "What you are holding in your arms is called a snow mastiff, the guardian beast of Mount Nanga Parbat. It likes you so much, which shows that you two are destined to be together. However, it cannot leave this snowy peak, so..."

"It's okay. I'll stay and accompany it for a while." Wu Lai said with a smile, and reached out to touch the snow mastiff's nose. "From now on, I will call you Mengdan. Who made you so cute? What do you think? Do you like this name?"

The snow mastiff grinned, as if it understood.

From that day on, Wu Lai and the snow mastiff lived in the small temple...
