Chapter 801 Opponent

Because the previous battles have been arranged long ago, in order to ensure that the final showdown is exciting and topical, basically the most powerful gladiators will not meet prematurely.

But now Zhang Heng appears again amidst the cheers of the audience, but it also brings new problems. His opponent for the next round has not been revealed yet, so now there is some difficulty in the arena, but then Zhang Heng directly faced What did the referee say? The latter looked surprised and asked repeatedly, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I won't joke with my life." Zhang Heng said.

So the referee quickly told Commodus in the front row about Zhang Heng's proposal. A strange look appeared on the young Emperor's face when he heard the words, "Did he really say that?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I specifically asked him twice." The referee confirmed.

Commodus thought for a while, "Then we should believe in him. He is a person who can always create miracles, and I think this time is no exception."

The young emperor issued the order, and soon, more and more people in the stands knew the opponent Zhang Heng would face in the next battle.

The audience was stunned.

Especially when they saw Zhang Heng handing over the two Persian swords that were his only weapons, they were even more shocked, and they all started whispering to each other.

Although Zhang Heng showed overwhelming strength in the previous battle, not many people are optimistic about him in the next battle, because considering the opponent he will face, his fighting skills and strength, The advantage in speed will be gone, and he actually chooses to face the enemy with his bare hands. No matter how you look at it, he looks very dangerous.

Of course, this is just the perspective of the live audience.

For Zhang Heng, the instigator, he did not feel that his behavior was really seeking death, not to mention that he did not have any equipment. No, he had already obtained the rope he named.

Zhang Heng first tested the strength of the rope, and then tied a knot to make a noose.

Holding the noose, Zhang Heng also had the illusion that he had returned to the wilderness of the American West in the 19th century.

Immediately afterwards, his opponent in this battle was also released from the cage.

——This is a bison, and it is an adult bison. It is more than two meters long and weighs about a ton. No wonder the audience present is not optimistic about the outcome of Zhang Heng's battle. The weight alone is already overwhelming. No one can stop him, and if he is hit, his bones will probably fall apart on the spot.

Moreover, the bison have rough skin and thick flesh, and a pair of horns are extremely hard. The bison can even fight with lions if they are cornered. Lions often hunt bison together in groups, but they are gored by the bison and rise to the sky. , the last word is taken literally.

As I said before, unlike in the movies, gladiators and beast fighters in reality are two completely different professions. Under normal circumstances, the two will not exchange opponents. Gladiators spend their entire lives fighting against people. Technique does not mean how to deal with beasts, but the same goes for beast fighters. There is almost no interaction between the two sides.

Therefore, the referee was stunned when he heard that Zhang Heng was going to challenge the bison, especially when the latter specifically stated that he did not know how to use a sword and only needed a strong rope. The audience in the stands really couldn't imagine what else Zhang Heng could do. Can it take on bison, fists and teeth?

But just when everyone was confused, the battle below had already begun.

The trainer used a sharpened hard pole to poke the bison, causing the latter to become violent. The big copper bell-like eyes quickly locked on Zhang Heng not far away. Then the angry bison buried his head and showed his face. It had the most deadly weapon on its head and rushed towards Zhang Heng.

However, Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to throw out the lasso in his hand.

He had driven cattle many times before as a cowboy, and had dealt with many dishonest cattle, but this was the first time he had dealt with such a large bison, and there were no horses to ride, so he had to be a lot more cautious.

But fortunately, the specific methods are the same, and the experience he accumulated before can also be used. Zhang Heng did not attack rashly because the bison was very powerful. Even if he could accurately hit the opponent's neck, he would probably be the one who was carried away in the end.

So he chose to avoid the sharp edge temporarily and rolled on the spot to avoid the impact of the bison, but the bison had already spotted him and immediately circled back after missing the attack. He wanted to push Zhang Heng from behind.

Seeing that the horns were less than half a meter away from Zhang Heng's body, everyone in the stands screamed in surprise, and Queen Crispina couldn't bear to watch anymore and threw herself into her husband's arms. Kang Maode's heart also skipped a beat. Although he had said that he would trust Zhang Heng, he was still doubtful about dealing with the bison with bare hands. Seeing that Zhang Heng's life was in danger, he couldn't help but suspect that Zhang Heng was going to mess up this time. .

It would be a pity if this Oriental man really died in this. Commodus had just started to like Zhang Heng, and wanted to find an opportunity to chat with the latter more. Moreover, after the previous battle, Zhang Heng's odds skyrocketed. , which shows that everyone is very optimistic about him winning this championship. If he can't make it to the final decisive battle because of Dalian, then the wonderful battle he dedicated before will become a joke.

Pompeianus on the other side also looked at it and shook his head, and said to his wife, "Your five thousand gold coins seem to be in vain. How about it? Do you still have enough private money? I need to help you with it first." ?"

"What a considerate man." Lucilla smiled upon hearing this, "But the battle isn't over yet, is it?"

While the two were talking, Zhang Heng seemed to have eyes on his back. He didn't look back and just moved half a step to the left to avoid this brutal sneak attack. Two sharp corners brushed against his arm. It was only a few inches away from piercing into his flesh, and then Zhang Heng made a crazy move that no one expected.

Shortly after escaping from the clutches of death, he actually reached out and grabbed an ox's horns, then tapped his toes on the ground, and the next moment he was flying on the back of the ox, and a burst of even more enthusiastic cheers erupted from the stands. , surrounded by a wonderful and dazzling scene.

However, Zhang Heng's plan failed. The bull's back was bumpy so hard that he couldn't get his hands around the bull's neck. The bison then cunningly rushed to the rope net at the edge of the arena, trying to grab it. Zhang Heng was thrown inside. Fortunately, Zhang Heng also discovered its intention. In the end, he had no choice but to jump off the back of the cow again, rolled around on the ground, and avoided another round of stampedes.
