Chapter 313: Desperate Duel
Thinking that the little murloc Finger might be related to the skeleton who assassinated Jagu last night, Yang Yi didn't care about anything else and hurried out of the tavern.
However, the little murloc Finger had disappeared without a trace, and there was no place to find him.
"Speaking of which, the skeleton last night was very strange. I have seen a lot of undead, but I have never seen one without a bit of flesh on its body. The skeleton was a skeleton, just like a pile of bones that were pieced together and resurrected." Yang Yi thought.
Unable to find the little murloc Finger, Yang Yi had to find the old blind eye and tell him about the little murloc Finger. He asked the old blind eye not to alert the enemy and arranged for the patrol fishmen in Ratchet Town to search for the little murloc Finger.
Yang Yi pretended to wander around Ratchet Town, hoping that the little murloc Finger would not know that his whereabouts had been exposed and he could meet him again.
Today's Ratchet Town is bustling everywhere, full of joyful atmosphere.
Many of the murlocs who came to the murloc gathering came to Ratchet for the first time. They had never seen a murloc town, let alone a murloc settlement that was so well planned.
These murlocs were like country bumpkins entering the city, dazzled and deeply shocked.
Yang Yi liked to see these murlocs open their mouths when they were shocked by Ratchet. The inexperienced look of these murlocs made him feel that the construction of Ratchet was not in vain.
Since defeating the Blackfin Murlocs, the reputation of Ratchet has been getting higher and higher. Many nearby murlocs came here because of its reputation. This murloc gathering was much more grand than the one held by the Blackfin Clan.
The murlocs who came to the gathering this time came from Durotar in the north to Dustwallow Marsh in the south. It can be said that the influence of Ratchet has exceeded the Barrens and radiated to the two areas in the north and south connected to the Barrens.
Of course, this influence is limited to the murlocs.
The largest number of murlocs are the Blackfin Murlocs. The former leader of the Blackfin Murlocs, Thief Eyes, joined Ratchet Town. The current leader, the Blackfin Clan Sage, also follows Yang Yi's lead. The Blackfin Murlocs have become a vassal clan of Ratchet Town.
In addition to the trade market, the Murloc gathering also has other entertainment activities, among which the most popular is the arena.
Yang Yi had seen the duel of murloc gladiators when he attended the Murloc gathering held by the Blackfin Murlocs before. At that time, it was just a very simple arena surrounded by sharp wood on the ground.
"It was at that gathering that I met Mojimus. At that time, Mojimus almost died in the arena. Fortunately, I met him, otherwise such a good murloc would have died." Yang Yi recalled.
Today Yang Yi did not bring Mojimus, his little follower, because Mojimus went to the town's arena to participate in the duel.
Under the training of Big Jaw, Mojimus's level as a Murloc Beach Walker has reached Level 4. Now he is stuck at the threshold of becoming a high-level professional, and he has been training hard but cannot break through.
Therefore, Mojimus decided to go to the Colosseum to be a gladiator, hoping to improve himself through duels with other murlocs.
As for another little follower, Benbolba, Yang Yi was furious when he thought about it.
"Mojimus is hardworking, unlike the stinky boy Benbolba, whose level of Murloc Prophet is only Level 2 so far, and he only knows how to play."
On the beach of Ratchet Town, groups of murlocs gathered together, singing murloc songs and dancing murloc dances to celebrate the opening of the rally.
Although the murlocs' songs are out of tune and their dances are incomprehensible, it does not affect their joy and happiness at all.
Benbolba, the "smelly brat" in Yang Yi's mouth, was jumping up and down on the beach at this time. This kid's "performance" expertise was put to good use at this time. His self-created fish-man ballads and fish-man dances were very popular, and he became a big star on the beach.
Yang Yi looked at Benbolba from a distance. Seeing that the boy was having fun, he did not choose to go over and kick his butt at this time.
"Don't beat children during the Spring Festival. Remember first, beat them back after the festival."
Yang Yi let Benbolba go for the time being, and he planned to go to the Colosseum.
In addition to the market on the big square, the Colosseum is now the place with the most fishmen. Yang Yi wants to see if he can find the little fishman Finjie and cheer for Mojimus.
The Colosseum was built at the foot of Thunder Peak to the west of Ratchet Town, and not far away was a busy hotel.
Every time the fishmen held a grand event, duel performances were indispensable. This is one of the most popular entertainment activities of the fishmen.
As soon as Yang Yi entered the Colosseum, he saw Mojimus fighting with his opponent.
"Just in time, Mojimus seems to be winning."
Mojimus' opponent was a tall adult murloc. Yang Yi used the Lord's Eye to see that this murloc was a level 3 murloc beachwalker from an unknown murloc village.
Level 3 murloc beachwalkers are already considered to be one of the best in ordinary murloc villages, but this level is still not good enough in Ratchet Town.
Mojimus, the underage murloc, was one level higher than his opponent. In addition, Mojimus mastered skills such as hamstring, sonic spear, shield blocking, and stun. This opponent was quickly defeated by Mojimus.
Mojimus was just trying to hone his fighting skills and had no intention of killing. After defeating his opponent, he put away his spear.
The audience cheered loudly for the victorious Mojimus, and Yang Yi also applauded and cheered for Mojimus.
Mojimus spotted Yang Yi in the crowd, and when he saw Yang Yi applauding and cheering for him, he happily showed his fangs.
"This little gladiator has won nine games in a row today."
"He won too easily. Which fishman dares to challenge him in the next game?"
"Rachet Town is too strong. A minor fishman has such great strength."
The fishmen around him were talking a lot, and Yang Yi smiled when he heard it. The little guy's efforts were not in vain.
Mojimus retreated to the edge of the arena to rest, and soon a new gladiator came to the arena.
The record of the new gladiator is not far behind that of Mojimes. He has won 8 games in a row before. As long as he wins this game, his record will be able to catch up with Mojimes.
Yang Yi took a look and found that this gladiator was a level 4 murloc ambusher from the Blackfin clan.
Even though the Blackfin Clan is rich in murloc ambushers, such high levels are extremely rare.
The black-finned gladiator stood silently in the middle of the arena, the two spider-tooth daggers in his hands glowing coldly, making people shudder.
For a while, no gladiator dared to challenge the last time.
"This black-finned gladiator is too ferocious. No fishman wants to duel with him."
"He is so terrifying. Today's champion should be between him and the little gladiator from Ratchet Town."
The fish people started talking again. It was obvious that this black-finned gladiator had left a deep impression on the audience in the previous duel.
The Blackfin Gladiator waited on the field for a long time, and the audience thought that there were no challengers. Then a group of fishmen appeared.
I saw a dozen murlocs carrying a giant crab to the arena like a sedan. Sitting on the giant crab was a murloc with a blood-red dorsal fin.
Under the surprised eyes of the audience, these fishmen put down the giant claw crab and retreated.
"It's time to show your true strength, and Magoffin is today's champion."
The fish-man on the giant claw crab stood up and shouted loudly that she was Magoffin, the leader of the Yanmo clan.
"Priestess of the Temple of Farahim, Magofumraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, this!"
"The supreme chanter of the island in the middle of the lake, Magofen, is mula ga ga ga ga!"
"The only huntress of the murloc tribe, Magofin, is mula quack!"
"The great patriarch of the Yanmo clan, Magofen Mula ga ga ga ga!"
…
The Yanmo fish people who had just retreated immediately started shouting with all their strength. They shouted in unison and in unison, which sounded like they had undergone strict training.
Originally, the audience was very excited to see a challenger appear, but they were so stunned by the strange behavior of the salt-molten fish people that they forgot to cheer.
Yang Yi felt funny when he saw this scene. These Yanmoyu people were really enjoying themselves. It was clear that not long ago in the tavern, he was beaten all over the floor by the little fishman Fenjie, and he felt good about himself again and felt that he was good again.
After enjoying the cheers of his men, Magoffin arrogantly pointed the tip of the knife at the black-finned gladiator.
"It will be the greatest honor in your life to die under Magoffin's knife." Magoffin said.
The black-finned gladiator couldn't help but look sideways when the salt-molten fish man shouted strange slogans. He remained unmoved by any provocation from his opponents on the field.
"Let's get started."
The Blackfin Gladiator said a word, then entered the [Stealth] state and disappeared from people's sight.
A duel with a stalker is a very uncomfortable thing.
The Rogue can enter the stealth state at the beginning of the duel, which means that as long as the stealth is not broken, the Rogue has the opportunity to take the initiative in the duel.
Magoffin is a level 5 murloc tidewalker and a hunter profession.
She was very anxious after seeing her opponent disappear. She jumped up from the giant crab, took two steps forward, and then released a [flare] forward.
However, the flare skill did not illuminate the Blackfin Gladiator.
The Blackfin Gladiator obviously has rich combat experience. After sneaking, he did not dive straight towards the opponent, but chose to circle around in an arc to approach the target.
Not being able to spot the sneaking black-finned gladiator, Magoffin quickly directed the giant claw crab to block it in front of her.
The Blackfin Gladiator was not in a hurry to attack. He sneaked around Magoffin's back.
Rogues are deadly assassins who attack from behind and pierce their enemies' vitals.
Just as the black-finned gladiator raised the spider-tooth dagger in his hand, intending to use [back stab] to severely injure his opponent, he suddenly heard a soft snap from under his feet.
"Oops!"
Hearing this sound, the Blackfin Gladiator knew that he had been tricked.
Under his feet, a [Freeze Trap] was triggered, and the black-finned gladiator was instantly frozen, and his figure appeared at the same time.
Magoffin laughed wildly, her fish-man eyes that were as red as the dorsal fins turned ferocious, and she slashed at the immobile black-finned gladiator.
The Blackfin Gladiator was originally not as good as Magoffin, and now that it has lost the initiative, it is no longer a match for Magoffin.
Magoffin was not merciful. After she succeeded, she launched a violent attack and brutally chopped the black-finned gladiator into fish paste on the spot.
The Blackfin Gladiator never thought that Magoffin would take the opportunity to set a trap because he was distracted and glanced at Magoffin's men.
After the victory, Magoffin hung the Black Fin Gladiator's eyeball and some internal organs on her broadsword and displayed it as the winner's flag.
Murlocs naturally like blood and cruelty.
Faced with such a bloody scene, the fishmen in the Colosseum did not feel any discomfort, but instead burst into deafening strange screams.
The whole audience cheered Magoffin's name, and the salt-sprayed fish people even shouted it at the top of their lungs.
Amid the cheers, Magofin once again arrogantly pointed the tip of his knife at Mojimus who was resting at the edge of the arena.
