"Gulp…"
A low groan of hunger immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"..." Qiao Ji sat expressionlessly against the wall, looking as if he didn't know who was screaming in hunger.
"Looks like you're hungry." Diana laughed lightly.
"If I had known earlier, I would have brought a wolf leg over to the colosseum.”Qiao Ji sighed.
"Here, get ready to catch it."
"What?" Qiao Ji turned his head to look.
"This is my food reserve, I'll give you one.”
Diana waved the piece of hard wheat bread in her hand.
" No..." Qiao Ji was only halfway through his rejection.
"You're welcome. A powerful warrior can't go hungry.”Before Diana could refuse, she threw the hard wheat bread over.
"Thank you." Qiao Ji quickly raised his hand to catch the bread.
The hard wheat bread weighed more than a pound. After squeezing it hard, he found that its surface was as hard as a rock. It could be used as a weapon at a critical moment.
"Hurry up and rest after eating. You still have to play tomorrow.”Diana tucked her long red hair behind her ear.
"I still have to go on stage tomorrow?" Qiao Ji frowned.
"Yes, new gladiators are going on stage every day.”
Diana softly introduced the rules of the colosseum." As long as you are not dead or heavily injured, you will only be able to fight less until you have fifty consecutive victories.”
George bit off a crumb from the hard wheat bread and soaked it in his saliva.
He asked vaguely," What kind of opponent will you arrange for me tomorrow?”
"It depends on what kind of gladiators the other chambers of commerce send.”Diana shook her head.
"So, I might be ranked as an opponent with a high number of victories?”Qiao Ji frowned and asked.
"Yes, when I won three matches in a row in the past, I was ranked against an opponent who won twenty matches in a row.”Diana calmly narrated her past achievements.
"You won?" Qiao Ji asked curiously.
"Hehehe…Little brother, don't underestimate Diana. She's the Scarlet Valkyrie.”
"Diana is undefeated. She didn't even have a tie.”
"Even Ironwall Stone Duo isn't Diana's match.”
“……”
The gladiators suddenly praised him together.
"Hey! Stop flattering me."
Diana glared at him with her purple eyes and shouted angrily," Don't think that I'll give you wine just because you said something nice.”
"My luck…shouldn't be too bad, right?”
George ate his hard wheat bread and thought about what kind of opponent he would meet tomorrow.
"Don't worry."
Diana seemed to see the young man's worry and said softly," It's not easy for newbies to line up against opponents with many consecutive wins. Usually, only people with similar strength will be arranged to fight.”
"Yes." Qiao Ji nodded on the surface, but there was a sense of urgency in his heart. He could not gamble his life on luck.
If he wanted to get rid of the slave status of a gladiator, he would have to live longer so that he could have time to seek revenge.
Otherwise, if his strength was too weak, he might have died in the Spirit Beast Arena that day.
The 99 slaves who died in the colosseum today were a lesson from the past.
"Right now, I don't have a sword or shield, so I can only increase my footwork skill proficiency.”
He put in a half-eaten piece of hard wheat bread and got up to stretch his body.
Swoosh!
Qiao Ji practiced his footwork in the cage. He walked in a certain direction and his body twisted as if he was dancing, but also as if he was walking around randomly.
"Dodge 1."
"Dodge 1."
"Dodge 1."
“……”
"Eh? Can you become stronger with this kind of training?"
Diana tilted her head and watched the young man jumping around in the cage. She slowly fell into a daze.
Time passed slowly.
Lunch was hard wheat bread and a large glass of water.
"Dodge 1."
"Dodge 1."
"Dodge 1."
“……”
The sky was dark, and the passage to the cage was lit by candlelight.
" Advanced, Basic Steps improved…"
[Obtained: Special Basic Footwork]
" Huhahuha…" Qiao Ji was panting tiredly, but his face was filled with a happy smile.
A familiar feeling appeared in his brain, and new knowledge appeared.
"So positioning can be like this." Qiao Ji's eyes sparkled.
Footwork could also be used to attack, such as tripping the ankle, kicking stones, throwing sand…and even luring people into a pit.
"This time, I used my footwork and battle awareness a little more.”Qiao Ji was very satisfied.
He lacked close combat experience. After all, he used to use more guns and ammunition.
"It's already dark before I know it.”Qiao Ji came back to his senses and looked out the window to find that it was dark outside.
"I thought you were going to keep practicing.”Diana said with a smile.
" The sound is so close…" Qiao Ji immediately turned to look at the passage.
He found the Crimson Valkyrie squatting at the door of his cell. He could see her exquisite collarbone and a snow-white curve.
"Wait…"
Qiao Ji came to his senses and blinked his eyes in shock." How did you get out?”
"I was tired of staying inside, so I came out for a walk.”Diana tilted her head playfully.
" What you said makes sense…" Qiao Ji said in a daze.
" Hehe…You're so interesting." Diana grinned, revealing her small fangs.
She stood up and stretched." I've been here for more than ten years. I still have the ability to get in and out of the cage.”
"You can easily enter and exit the cage, so you should be able to escape easily, right?”Qiao Ji turned his head and glanced at the guards at the end of the passage.
"Even with their abilities, they can't stop me.”
Diana raised her chin proudly and sighed." I wanted to leave. I ran away two years ago.”
"You don't want to leave?" Qiao Ji said in surprise.
"Of course I do." Diana hurriedly replied.
"What about you?" Qiao Ji was a little confused.
"So what if we leave this place? We still have nowhere to go.”
Diana sounded a little melancholic. She turned around and returned to her cage, locking it again.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go out, but that he had nowhere else to go. If he had no place to live, he might as well stay in this cage for eleven years.
"..." Qiao Ji opened his mouth but didn't know what to say before closing it again.
He sat against the wall and quietly looked at the crimson figure in the darkness.
