Chapter 739

The darkness faded like a tide.

Before Zhang Heng opened his eyes, he heard the deafening cheers and screams, which came from the top of his head. During that time, there was the roar of wild animals, but the roar was very close to him, probably less than one meter away.

Even Zhang Heng, who has always been calm, was startled.

What's the concept of one meter? For beasts like lions and tigers, it's a rush. If they're on guard, Zhang Heng may be able to escape. But considering that he doesn't know the specific location of the beast now, and with the end of the countdown of five seconds, it will take a certain amount of time for Zhang Heng's eyes to recover their vision, although the time is not long Many, but at this time any delay is fatal.

If the situation is really what he imagined, it can be regarded as an open-door killing with infinite mortality.

In principle, the copy, especially the ordinary copy, even if it is to survive as the main line, should not appear such a dangerous degree of opening.

The next moment, Zhang Heng regained his vision.

The first thing that came into view was the lion in front of him. The cheers seemed to stimulate him. He made him stand up and roar. It seemed that he wanted to attack Zhang Heng, but he couldn't get out of his cage.

Zhang Heng was relieved, and then he found himself standing in a dark room full of stink.

The cheers continued to come from his head, and there was another man beside him, holding a pottery bowl full of raw meat, looking at the lion in the cage in fear.

In terms of dress, he should be a slave, wearing a short sleeve gown and a pair of slippers.

And Zhang Heng found that he was almost dressed.

Before Zhang Heng had time to say hello to his friends, a man with a whip outside rushed in, waving the whip in his hand and shouting something in his mouth.

Zhang Heng had to be glad that he spent a long time learning languages in the copy of black sail, including Latin, which was the official common language in ancient Rome.

Of course, after more than a thousand years, there are still many differences in pronunciation and final tone. For example, the ancient Romans would pronounce a and e separately, and they would sound like k when they pronounce C, and they would add a lot of cadence.

Zhang Heng has a feeling of listening to dialects. Basically, he can only recognize that the other party is questioning why they haven't finished feeding Kunta.

Needless to say, Kunta is naturally the name of the lion in the cage in front of him. Then Zhang Heng took the bowl of meat from his companion and poured it into the cage to cook for Kunta.

The lion named Kunta finally stopped roaring after eating the meat.

However, the guy who looked like a supervisor didn't seem to be satisfied. He yelled again and tried to draw people out. Zhang Heng's companion immediately shrunk his head and ran out of the house. Zhang Heng followed him. After he left the supervisor, he asked, "Hey, what's your name?"

The other side seemed a little confused, so Zhang Heng repeated it again.

"You speak Latin?" This time, the guy finally understood, with a look of surprise on his face, "I'm varo, and you?"

"My name is Zhang Heng." Zhang Heng also made a simple self introduction and said, "please slow down when you speak. My Latin is not very good."

"OK, ok Zhang Heng, nice to meet you. No, I should say it's unfortunate to meet you here. " Varo laughs.

"We're in the arena now?"

"Yes, to be more precise, we are now underground in the arena."

"Oh, no wonder you can hear these cheers. What are the people cheering about?"

"Don't you know that they are executing the death penalty, and I used to sit there and cheer with them." When varo talked about the past, he looked dejected, "but now..."

"Did the Romans execute the death penalty in the arena?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Yes, it's a tradition. They will sentence the death penalty to the wild animals, and then the unfortunate ones will be sent here. By the way, let's talk as we walk. Pattita asked us to clean up the mess. If we delay the Gladiator performance, we will be whipped again."

Zhang Heng noticed that there was a flash of fear in varo's eyes when he talked about the Gladiator's performance, but now is not the time to ask such a thing, he still followed each other behind, and the two soon passed through the tunnel lit with oil lamp and came to the ground.

The arena they were in was not too big, and it was obviously not the famous Roman Colosseum.

But the grandstand also has several floors, almost 6000 or 7000 seats. It's almost full. That's the source of the cheers and screams. The audience yelled to kill him! Kill him!!! Everyone's face is full of excitement, as if enjoying a big play.

One of the two protagonists in this drama has been bitten off his throat, and the leopard also uses its claws to open his stomach and begins to tear up his internal organs. The blood gathers under his body to form a stream. His whole face is blurred, his nose and eyes are gone, and his facial bones are clearly visible.The other prisoner, though still alive, was completely stunned to see this scene.

He is sitting on the other side of the arena now, and it can be seen that he had a good life before he was caught. All the fat on his body trembled together, and he watched the cheetah eat in horror. The arena deliberately did not feed the cheetah for a period of time before the execution, which increased the cheetah's aggressiveness and entertainment.

Although the audience in the stands just witnessed a person's death, they were obviously not satisfied. Because the fat man on the other side was still alive, they began to urge the trainer. Two trainers used a long stick to poke the leopard, interrupt the leopard's feeding and force it to another executed prisoner.

The fat man wanted to get up and run, but probably because his legs were weak, he couldn't get up from the ground after two attempts. Instead, it caused a burst of laughter, and the grandstand was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Finally, the fat man stood up, but unfortunately, the leopard also walked to a place not far away from him. The fat man turned and began to run away, but the speed of the two sides' homes was not comparable at all. On the contrary, the fat man's escape stimulated the cheetah, who almost jumped on the fat man's back. Zhang Heng didn't feel like watching the scene There's no point in going.
