MTL - When Jianxiu Penetrates Into the Infinite Stream-Chapter 104
People in the prison woke up one after another and came to get food in an orderly manner.
Xie Liuyi stayed by the side of the food and asked a lot of questions with people like small talk. For example, how many hours are there in the day and how many hours are in the night on this planet, what is the arena outside the prison, and so on, simple and basic questions.
After asking different people questions and getting answers that confirmed each other, Xie Liuyi knew the basic information of this planet.
Fifty hours at night and over forty hours during the day. After nightfall, if the giant is all right, it will continue to sleep for more than 40 hours.
In other words, the living habits of giants are similar to those of humans, which is equivalent to extending the daily life of human beings by four times.
Find out the length of day and night in the giant country, Xie Liuyi had to adjust the plan.
The arena only opened for business at night. When Xie Liuyi woke up, the wild lion had just returned from victory. Later, after the military doctor returned, there was no one in the prison to fight.
It should be less than 12 hours since she woke up, at least 30 hours before the giants come to choose people tomorrow morning, and more than 70 hours before the opening of the arena .
So much time, enough action.
While Mr. Ouyang was eating, Xie Liuyi told him that he planned to act.
Mr. Ouyang frowned for a moment and said, "Sir, is there any way you can do a survey outside the arena without disturbing the giant?"
"Huh?" Xie Liuyi looked at him suspiciously.
"After we came to the giant country, we never left the arena, but we heard guests say that the arena is not far from the palace, so we speculate that the arena should be in the center of the city. Before the action , we need to plan a covert escape route, preferably to find a hiding place."
Xie Liuyi nodded in agreement. With her movement and speed, exploring the terrain is not a problem.
"The most important point, we have to prepare for the worst." Mr. Ouyang said with a heavy face, "I have observed that most giants have dark and rough skin, hard as a stone, which is very It may be the result of natural selection, that is to say, there is a high probability of strong sunlight or strong radiation on this planet. Based on this speculation, it is possible that we must reach the hiding place before sunrise."
Xie Liuyi's calm expression was slightly cracked. It turned out that the action time was not as long as she expected, and it was probably more than thirty hours.
"Of course, these are just my guesses," Mr. Ouyang suddenly softened his expression and said with relief, "Since we can survive normally in the arena, it means that this planet also has an atmosphere. Perhaps, its living environment is not as bad as I imagined. Everything has to wait for adults to survey the surrounding environment. "
After seeing his cunning and cunning, Xie Liuyi always had a skeptical attitude towards him. For example, now, she felt that the old man was trying to trick her into going out to the thunder.
"
Forget it, except for her, no one here has the ability to come and go under the eyes of giants.
Thinking about this, Xie Liuyi felt that the arrangement made by Mr. Ouyang was the most reasonable.
The cunning forward captain had been in prison for so long, Xie Liuyi could not believe that he did not understand the terrain of the arena.
"Oh, yes, I forgot." Mr. Ouyang patted his head, stood up, pushed away the hay under him, revealing some messy scratches, which looked like sharp stones drawn out. Some scratches are heavy and appear to have deepened on a regular basis; others are light enough to be smoothed out.
The deeper scratches are put together, and a rough outline can be seen. This is a simple map of the arena.
Xie Liuyi looked at the old man suspiciously, "Forgot?"
The old man smiled helplessly, "I really forgot, I have a bad memory when I get older."
Immediately, he said sternly: "Sir, rest assured, from the time you cleared the star thief, everything I said to you is true, and I guarantee it with the dignity of a soldier."
Xie Liuyi stared at his eyes for a moment, then turned his eyes to the map.
"This map has been revised many times, and it is a bit messy. Let me explain it to the adults." Mr. Ouyang said.
Xie Liuyi nodded.
“The whole arena is an outer circle and an inner square, with a circular stand on the outside, and the square football field in the middle is the gladiatorial arena.”
Hearing this size, Xie Liuyi frowned slightly. Mr. Ouyang seemed to see her doubts, "Does your lord think the arena is too big?"
"Yeah." The arena the size of a football field, just to watch two humans fight, is a bit too empty.
Mr. Ouyang smiled wryly, "The arena is not just about fighting between people, but more often, it is between people and beasts. Do you know what the most popular performances are in the arena?"
Xie Liuyi looked at him.
"The arena has a huge creature that looks like a wolf, with a shoulder height of four meters and a single horn on the top of its head. We call it the single-horned wolf. The most favorite show of the guests is Put 20 humans and a unicorn wolf that has been hungry for several days into the arena at the same time, and guess how many people will be strung on the horn of the unicorn wolf at the end. It is said that after one game, the income is hundreds of times more than usual."
Mr. Ouyang's tone was ironic, "The cost of this kind of show is too high. They will only arrange it when a lot of new items are released at one time."
Xie Liuyi took a deep breath calmly, suppressing the killing intent that surged in his heart.
Old Mr. Ouyang also adjusted his mood and continued to explain the map, but his voice sounded a little depressed, "Under the stand is where the prisoners and staff live. The prison is at the end of the corridor on the right. Outside the gate is the guard's room, and out of the guard's room is the corridor. A short way down the corridor is a bathhouse..."
He smiled sarcastically, "The bathhouse is for us. Before going on stage, we have to wash ourselves so that the guests will be happy."
The cell was silent except for the beeping sound of firewood burning in the brazier.
After a while, Xie Liuyi's voice was calm, "Hurry up." It's only thirty hours in total, so hurry up.
"Yes, my lord."
"Walking through the bathroom is the kitchen, and passing through the kitchen is the entrance to the arena. Usually this is the way to go to the arena. Going further is the residence of the staff, next to the residence is the gladiatorial arena. The back door of the market is usually used for grocery shopping, delivery, and staff access. If we want to escape, we also use this door."
"We haven't been to the other side, and we can't see the situation. We only know that there are many beasts imprisoned there." Mr. Ouyang finished his explanation and looked at Xie Liuyi, "The gate of the prison is usually locked from the outside. Come on, how are you going to get out?"
For this question, Xie Liuyi replaced the answer with action. She walked to the door with the knife in hand, lay down, and looked out from the crack of the door.
From this angle, only the thick legs of the wooden table and bench can be seen, but no giant.
She listened intently for a while, but there was no footsteps or breathing outside.
No one was outside the door, and the guard did not know where to go.
The gate is made of one-meter-wide and one-foot-thick wooden boards that are vertically assembled, and fixed horizontally by wide iron bars every two meters up and down. The left side opens and closes, and the right side is fixed on the doorpost. Earlier, she heard the sound and thought it was an iron door, but in fact, it was a wooden door surrounded by iron.
Others were alarmed by the sound of the door being sawed, and walked over cautiously, poking their heads out to watch the excitement.
A platinum-grade knife cut this old wooden door as easily as cutting tofu. In a few breaths, Xie Liuyi cut a small rectangle half a person high and two feet wide.
She put her ear to the door and listened, but there was still no movement outside, so she lightly patted the cut out area.
The wooden block flew out, revealing a rectangular hole. Xie Liuyi dodged out under the crowd's onlookers, and immediately stuffed the wooden block back into place.
Because the blade is thin and sharp, the incision is very smooth, and there is almost no crack after the wood block is plugged back. What's more, this position is also the height of the giant's calf. Unless they happen to fall and hit it, no giant will find out.
After plugging the wooden blocks, Xie Liuyi turned to look at the guard room.
In an instant, she seemed to have turned into a dwarf. Huge table, huge bench, huge brazier... huge everything.
The door of the guard room was not closed, Xie Liuyi was about to go out, and suddenly there were dull footsteps and thunderous conversations in the corridor.
It sounded far away, Xie Liuyi glanced outside. Two huge figures in the distance approached slowly. There were no shelters in the corridor, and it was easy to be discovered if they ventured out. She looked around, and her eyes fell on the old bench.
The structure of the stool is very simple. There is a flat and long wooden board on the top, and two stool legs on the left and right sides are crossed to support the wooden board.
The height of the crossbar is just above Xie Liuyi's head. She tapped her toes, jumped up on the bar, and hid at the angle formed by the bar and the legs of the stool. The top board of the bench was much longer than the legs of the bench, and her position happened to be in the blind spot of the giant.
The two walked slowly, chatting while walking.
"Today...too few, the guests are not happy."
"There is no way, ... the number is not enough, it's all dead ¥%@ adults will be angry."
“…When will the merchants come? Last time they said they would bring more goods.”
"It should be soon, there are still seven stars. Did you feed them?"
"Hey, they're so... they have to eat several times a night, and they'll die if they're not careful."
"Be careful, they are very...goods and we can't afford them."
Because of the accuracy of the translator, some words do not know whether the translation is wrong or what is going on. The pronunciation is very strange, Xie Liuyi can't understand it, but she understands the most important thing.
The merchants mentioned by the giant should be star thieves, and their seven stars will come later...but what is the seven stars?
Thinking about it, the two have already reached the door. Boat-like feet, pillar-like legs, long strips were in Xie Liuyi's field of vision, and the sound of the footsteps sounded like an earthquake to her.
The two did not find Xie Liuyi at all, let alone the hole she dug, and sat down on the bench each. Xie Liuyi clearly felt that the bench was lowered a lot, and the connection made an overwhelmed creaking sound.
"This is broken... When will it be replaced, it keeps ringing, I'm really afraid of it..." said the giant above Xie Liuyi's head.
"Don't complain," said the giant opposite, "Maybe... it's loose, you can just lift it up and fix it yourself."
Above the head, the giant hesitated for a while, and said, "Forget it, ... let's talk about it."
Before Xie Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief, the giant opposite stood up, "I'm lazy, get up, I'll help you see."
