Chapter 796 Big Rock Snake
“165…166…167…”
Sweat slid down the curve of the cheek, gathered on the chin, formed a crystal drop, and then fell on the collarbone.
Lucina bent her legs, grabbed the stone handle with both arms, and was trying her best to push her chest up.
Pull-ups are a difficult barehanded exercise that can make your chest and upper body muscles more coordinated, strong and endurance stronger.
A strong body can allow a person to go anywhere freely, but most people abandon their bodies with unlimited potential, allowing alcohol and tobacco to corrode their internal organs, eating too much fried food or staying up late for a long time, making themselves thin and fat...
Another 6 cycles passed...
Lucina has been here for a long time. She is very worried about Chen Ke and the others. She doesn’t know what is going on in Asgard, but she is sure that Chen Ke must be looking for her.
She used the alias Amara and made a group of friends under this stone dome. They were all from Asgard. Odin had fought in the Nine Realms. When the Asgard army left, many warriors were left behind.
Eivor was one of them. There were thousands of them, but now there are less than a hundred left.
But Eivor never gave up looking for an opportunity to return to Asgard. They were always looking for opportunities.
"Sister!" Eivor came to Lucina with a sledgehammer.
Lucina let go of the stone handle, jumped down, wiped the sweat from her neck and forehead, and the time for her first time in the arena was getting closer and closer.
Eivor could understand the language of the grays. He heard them talk about the strong girl who would have her first battle, and the grays couldn't wait to see her being entangled by the rock python and crushed to death.
"So, my opponent is a rock python?" Lucina said.
"Not strong, but not weak either. Hit it head on. With your strength, you can smash its head." Eivor dropped the big hammer on his shoulder to the ground, and then tilted the long handle towards Lucina.
This is a long hammer. The hammer head is black and looks like some special rock. The wooden handle feels good in the hand. It is a very good weapon.
Lucina lifted the hammer without much effort, clenched her hands, and felt heavy.
"How big is that thing?" Lucina asked.
"It's big, but don't be scared by it, sister. It's probably as long as six carriages connected together, but it's not as fast as a real snake. You have enough time to avoid its movements." Eivor smiled.
"That sounds simple." Lucina said.
"I'll tell you a trick. Always stand in front of it and wait for it to make a move first. It's very slow. When the head reaches over, you come and use all your strength. You can definitely smash it." Eivor taught.
"I understand. Stand in front of it and hit its snake head." Lucina smiled.
"But remember, sister, don't be surrounded by it, don't stand in the circle formed by its body. It's not powerful, but it still killed many of my people. It will try to surround you, then tighten its body, crush your muscles and ribs, and then bite off your head." Eivor warned.
"Got it, I won't die here, absolutely not." Lucina smiled.
"It's great to see you so confident. You must have the blood of a berserker in your body." Eivor said.
"When will you go on stage?" Lucina asked again.
"It depends on them. I guess you should go on stage the next time you wake up." Eivor said.
Lucina nodded. She lied to Eivor that she was also an Asgardian, but did not reveal more. Eivor did not ask too much. They all knew that they were reserved with each other.
Waking up from a deep sleep again, the gray man stood at the door of the stone chamber. Lucina knew it was her turn to go on stage. She got up from the ground, took the broken stone and carved another mark on the wall, and then followed the gray man out of the passage.
In the large stone room used for training, many people were still lifting weights on their own. When they saw Lucina coming out, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Lucina.
Eivor stood at the door with the long hammer in his hand. When the Gray Man and Lucina walked there, he handed the hammer to her and said, "Hit the head."
Lucina picked up the hammer, nodded to Eivor, and then entered another passage under the push of the Gray Man.
The sultry air blew from the front. She stepped up the steps and came to another stone room. This was the preparation hall. There were two rows of stone benches. Some equipment was thrown in the corner. She already had weapons in her hands, so she didn't need to choose.
The Gray Man opened the chains on Lucina's hands and feet and pushed her.
At the end of the hall was the arched hole leading to the arena. The outside was red, the heat wave blew, the red fire was swaying, and the waves of shouting and noise came from outside.
Lucina walked out of the arched hole carrying a hammer. It was a large circular square. The ground was covered with bloody sand. The entire arena was as big as half a football field.
Around the arena, there were rows of spectators. They were all gray people. At a glance, they were all naked. It was hard to tell what class they were.
Seeing Lucina coming out, thousands of gray people shouted, as if they were booing. Waves of negative emotions and ridicule hit Lucina with huge waves of sound, but she was not scared.
Lucina held the hammer handle tightly with both hands, staring at the arched cave opposite. These gray men wanted to see her bleed, but she would not let them succeed. She would survive and then find a way to leave this damn place.
"Don't waste time!!! Get out! Stone baby!" Lucina yelled at the cave entrance.
A pair of red eyes appeared in the cave entrance, accompanied by rocks wriggling and hissing. After a while, a huge flat triangular rock head poked out from the darkness.
This stone head was twice as big as her, and its body was composed of pieces of blocky rocks connected to each other. It looked no different from the big rock snake in Pokémon, except that it had no horns on its head.
"Fuck... It's really big..." Lucina took a deep breath, and her muscles were tense because of tension. Adrenaline has reached the highest level.
The rock python slowly slid out of the cave entrance. It had no snake tongue, but it still hissed. Its red eyeballs rolled around and looked at Lucina carefully.
Lucina looked at its body. After it slowly slid out of the cave, it coiled into a pile, like a stone mountain. Each section of the rock was covered with bumps, rough and sharp.
She definitely didn't want to be wrapped up in this stone body. Even if she couldn't be strangled to death, she would be killed by the stone bumps all over it.
"Hit the head... hit the head..." Lucina muttered silently, holding the hammer head tightly with both hands. She moved her feet slightly to form a straight line with the head of the rock python.
"Come on, come, bite me!" Lucina raised the hammer and shouted at the rock python, trying to lure it to attack.
The next moment, the rock python stretched its head like lightning and bit the hammer head in Lucina's hand. It bit off with a click. Lucina only felt her hands shake, and the weight of the stick was much lighter.
The rock python bit off the hammer head, held it in its mouth and tasted it, and spit it out again. The black hammer head fell to the ground, and the audience burst into laughter.
Lucina looked at the stick in her hand and cursed secretly.
"Eivor...you said this thing is slow..."
