Tom didn't mind Mao Mei's provocation. Moreover, he didn't hold any grudge against Mao Mei's last attack on him. At the end of the day, it was Zhao Xifeng who led the way. Even without Mao Mei, it was possible that Mao Ge, Black Sister, and White Sister would come to trouble him. After Zhang Meng clearly stated that he could not take action against him, Zhao Xifeng had to resort to covert means.
However, Yao Xinlong's challenge today was different. Tom didn't believe that Zhao Xifeng had the ability to put two vicious women into the team, and the five of them teamed up to challenge him.
If it weren't for Tom's initial physical weakness and Yao Xinlong's support, there might have been five people coming together to try and get rid of him in person. Coincidentally, Tom's crystal core recovered, his strength increased dramatically, and he became vigilant, making it impossible for Yao Xinlong, even with a team of five, to flip waves in front of Tom.
In the words of an old man, since its establishment until now, there has been no female participant except for Mao Mei, even if she is ugly. Because women are resources, they were crammed into a group of gladiators and, for no reason, these two legged sheep were cheaper.
So the mastermind behind Yao Xinlong's incident is naturally Zhang Meng, who is the visible leader of the camp.
This point was further confirmed by speculation obtained from the testimony of Yao Xinlong and his siblings, and it was ultimately the next night when Yu Liangjun secretly met with him.
Zhang Meng felt Tom's threat and was no longer willing to torture him through the rules of gladiatorial combat. Instead, he sought to achieve his goal through the use of the underworld technique. This is not only a war between Zhang Meng and Tom, but also a secret battle between Zhang Meng and the mastermind behind him, the Black Widow.
Due to tomorrow being the second most powerful expert in the battle between Tom and the Big Health Team, second only to Mao Mei, Yu Liangjun was somewhat worried about Tom's situation, so he quietly came over to remind him that Zhang Meng would definitely find a way to use his Yin move in this duel.
Troops for the enemy, earth for floods. Now Tom has no more cards to play except for some strength he has recovered. Without the use of crystal powers, there is indeed not much he can do. Therefore, he could only intensify his training and even have his team members take turns playing against him to constantly hone his reaction ability and resistance to impact.
Soon a decisive battle began again.
But when he stood in the preparation room, he was told that the fighting rules had changed. Today was not his battle with the health team, his opponent had changed to a mutated mouse.
This can almost be seen as a life and death battle, because the rules of ordinary gladiatorial battles and surrender and immediate cessation are meaningless to mice. The ancient Roman gladiatorial arena was once so prosperous, thanks to the bloody and cruel battles between people and animals.
The large gladiatorial arena is built outside the glass covered fortress, also located above the supermarket parking plaza.
This is an open-air arena, and the arena below is a circular arena with a diameter of 3.5 meters, which in the eyes of a small person is 84 meters in diameter. This large arena can be used in daily activities such as multiplayer fighting or animal protection.
At this moment, most of the mutants in the camp came to the stands, which was their favorite event because it was a carnival of flesh and blood, and each of them had the opportunity to enjoy the flesh and blood of the dead gladiators.
Tom was first kicked out of the gate and strode to the main stand of the arena. On the half meter high stand, Zhang Meng walked out with a person dressed in a black robe.
Although the person's whole body was covered in a black robe and covered in a veil, the incredibly soft and fitting fabric revealed her unique and sexy curves, which even made people unable to resist daydreaming.
"301, today is your big day." Zhang Meng changed his previous ferocity and arrogance, putting on an air of superiority and extraordinary magnanimity, like a proud king. "This is a second level mutated mouse. If you can kill it, you will receive 30 points. Considering your small size, my wife chose a smaller one out of kindness. How about that? Don't you thank my wife for her kindness?"
Through the masked black veil, Tom could feel the gaze of the black robed woman firmly locked onto him. This should be the black widow that Yu Liangjun referred to as, who created this gladiator rule and made this mutant camp run so special as the mastermind behind the scenes.
Tom is uncompromising about this kind of kindness. It is unknown whether this woman is restricting Zhang Meng from simply upholding the rules she has set, or if she has another purpose. As the left iron gate slowly opened, he quickly picked up a metal shield and a short sword from the ground.
The iron door opened, and a black figure slowly crawled out of the door. It was indeed a mouse, all black, with shiny fur. It was obvious that it was somewhat reluctant to be driven out, and at this moment, the iron gate was closed and it could no longer go back. When it arrived at the open area, it felt very unsafe.
I saw it sticking its head and brain against the wall, looking around, its nose twitching uncontrollably, wanting to gather information from the smell first.
Quickly, it smelled the scent of people on Tom's body, and its red eyes lit up, making the whole mouse excited.
The mutated people on the edge of the cage were immediately extremely excited, as they believed it would be a one-sided massacre. After all, for an ordinary person without any abilities, if they want to fight a mutated mouse or a second level mutated one, it's like a mantis arm blocking a car.
"Bite him to death! Bite him to death!"
"I bought a winner within two minutes, I'm sure I'll eat this human flesh!"
"Weak chicken, I bought it for 40 seconds. Look at his thin arms and legs. Can you hold on for two minutes? Are you a fool?"
The excitement and frenzy of over a hundred people startled the mouse. It quickly retreated, but the iron door mercilessly closed, leaving it with no way out. Therefore, it could only huddle up and nervously look around. After climbing up the iron fence and biting around, it finally realized that so many people outside the cage could not threaten it. It finally landed with peace of mind, and its nose twitched again, cautiously moving towards Tom's direction.
The scent of humans has great appeal to many insects and mice, but mutated humans are not among them. Now the mouse can develop a strong interest in him, which makes Tom somewhat relieved. He couldn't help but ask himself, "Am I an illusion? Perhaps... I haven't mutated."
He didn't have time to investigate whether it was mutated, as the mouse in front of him was the one he needed to care about the most.
After the mouse approached, Tom was able to see its size clearly. It was only about 8 centimeters tall, and for him who was only 7 centimeters tall, his body size was comparable. No wonder this was the kindness of the Black Widow. He has encountered several secondary mutant mice, but they have always been 13 centimeters tall. At that time, even wearing the Awakened Armor and carrying a shield, fighting was still difficult.
Immediately, the mouse bit towards him and he quickly used an iron shield to resist.
This is equivalent to a collision with a wild boar, making his arms slightly numb even with 19 strength.
Tom took advantage of the gap in the block and waved a knife at the little mouse. The blade did not harm its skin when it struck its hair, but it startled it and let out a squeak as it quickly slipped away, widening the distance.
This is indeed a little mouse with limited combat experience. Tom estimates that it was either a dead person picked up by chance or a second level mutation cultivated by mutant people using two legged sheep, which indirectly reduced the difficulty of the battle.
However, Tom knows that the second level mutated mouse is not just an improvement in size, the new mutated organ will make it more efficient in attacking. Just at this point, it didn't use its trump card from the beginning. Tom had to kill or seriously injure it before it could react. Once it was cast with hair spikes at a distance, it would be very tricky.
So when the mutated mouse tried to attack again, Tom deliberately showed weakness and let it collide a few times, passively using an iron shield to defend and reduce its vigilance. So the mutated little mouse quickly played with Tom with a playful attitude, enjoying the fun of bumping him around.
This makes the mutated people who watch good games on the sidelines unhappy. They want to watch the bloody crushing, not to mention that someone bought a bet on how long Tom will be killed, and if it exceeds the time limit, it will be a loss.
Zhang Heng also became a bit impatient. He gestured to a deputy beside him, who immediately instructed the two mutated people guarding the edge of the cage to throw javelins. The javelin accurately pierced the mutated mouse's body, and the pain aroused its anger. It opened its mouth and roared at the people outside the cage, but found that they had no choice but to vent their anger on Tom who was in the same cage as it. So it stood still and charged towards Tom, aiming at him,
Wild boars are not as tall as humans, but they weigh more than humans. Once a person is hit, they can also be injured or even fractured. And this mutated little mouse, which is as tall as a human, naturally weighs more than Tom. Now, in a fit of anger, its full force and destructive power are astonishing for Tom.
However, Tom had already anticipated this. At first, when he saw him squatting, his center of gravity sinking, and holding a shield, the mutant people thought he wanted to repeat his old trick of using the shield to resist the heavy equipment of the mutant mouse. Everyone was very happy in their hearts, and finally the battle was about to end,
A mouse that has already been provoked, once a person falls, it welcomes death.
But when the mouse approached, Tom threw his shield and bounced his legs slightly, jumping onto the back of the approaching mouse.
In terms of power, every mutant on the field is higher than Tom, and when it comes to speed, some are indeed very fast. But when it comes to riding mice... it seems that none of them thought they could still do this.
At this moment, the mutated little mouse lowered its head and bumped into it, only to suddenly realize that it had hit something empty. The little person it wanted to kill had disappeared from sight, which left it in a daze for two seconds. After waiting for two seconds, it was only then that the little man realized he was already riding on its back. So it performed an entertaining play of a bullfighter riding a bull to over a hundred mutants, immediately running and bumping on the field, trying to knock Tom down.
However, Tom is too good at the tactic of "back up". Although the "back" this time is a bit small, it still cannot affect his performance.
Watching the mice running in circles and bumping on the arena, the mutant people laughed heartily. Of course, there was also the black robed widow sitting next to Zhang Meng who was infected by the laughter.
Zhang Meng looked at the black widow who was covered in a veil but was trembling with laughter, her face so black that it almost dripped blood.
Just as his face was uncertain, the sharp and piercing screams of mutant mice suddenly rang out on the field. Zhang suddenly turned his head and was surprised.
