Ascension

Chapter 174 The eighth of the ten prides, golden shining
Giant Frog Pond, Blue Frog Country, Red Clay Swamp.

Mud frogs are a frog species that can be seen everywhere. They occupy an important part of the swamp ecology and are indispensable.

Stinky flies are flying in swarms, looking for the excrement of wild animals everywhere. Only there is a warm haven where they can fill their stomachs, find a beautiful wife, and spend a wonderful night.

Scavenging snails are looking for the remains of wild beasts. They have little practical ability. They must eat as much as possible before other carnivores arrive, and then work hard to survive for one more day.

……

Natural ecology, etc.

However, in such a remote and desolate place, it is not pure nature.

Ye Hanjun, who was in disguise and once again assumed the alias of White Crow, was following Dongfang Xu deep into an underground passage.

This passage is very wide, and large creatures can easily pass through it.

However, Dongfang Xu still recovered the Red Flame Tiger to prevent the blazing flames and fierce aura from attracting unnecessary attention.

"Hey, Old Man Zhang, you mortgaged the family heirloom last time. When can you redeem it?"

"Hey, isn't this Boss Wang getting rich again? He's so lucky, I'm so jealous!"

"Huh? Brat, what do you think this place is? This is Mr. An's territory. What are you looking at? Do you want to cause trouble?"

……

The noise in my ears became clearer and clearer. After a few breaths, a special building built underground came into view.

From the appearance, it looks like a palace, extremely luxurious and magnificent. Whether it is statues, textures or structures, it must have been forged by a master with a certain reputation.

There is a plaque at the main entrance of the palace.

Engraved on it are four big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes - Ri Jin Dou Jin.

"Hey, what a handsome young man, full of murderous intent. Did he just finish hunting?"

There is a guard on each side of the door.

Their duties and responsibilities are unknown, but the contracted spirits are "Stone Wolf" and "Arrow Elephant" respectively. They are both Xia Zhao Dacheng, savage beasts known for their large size and tenacious vitality.

"Wow—"

Dongfang Xu didn't answer, but just threw out two bags of spirit stones, deliberately showed an impatient expression, and shouted loudly:

"Why are there so many nonsense? This is my friend, bring me here to learn more!"

"Get out of the way quickly, don't block our financial path! If we don't make a lot of money from him today, we will never go back!"

"Hey, you're just a stinky mercenary, don't make such nonsense."

The guard on the right obviously didn't recognize Dongfang Xu. He was holding the bag of spiritual stones in his hand and laughing again and again.

But the guard on the left showed a hint of fear in his eyes, and said seriously:
"I know you, the leader of the Fire Stealing Mercenary Group!"

"I would like to advise you again, this is Mr. An's territory. If you don't follow the rules, you should know how serious the consequences will be."

"This is the fourth time I've come here to have fun. You don't need to tell me that."

Dongfang Xu was displeased, and his red pupils stared back with a fierce look on his face.

"Okay, how many chips do you want to exchange?"

The guard on the left softened his tone a bit and asked in turn.

"Three thousand first."

Dongfang Xu threw out an extra-large bag and stood there waiting.

After a while, two exquisite trays were handed over, with red, yellow and blue chips on them, corresponding to the face values ​​of 10, 50, and 100 respectively.

Ye Hanjun followed Dongfang Xu, took one of the trays, and then, led by a scantily clad waitress, walked through the hallway and formally entered the palace.

"Roar!"

"Ouch!!"

"Damn it! Wind Wolf actually lost to Swift Leopard! How is this possible!"

"Hahaha, 4 minutes and 46 seconds! I pressed "5 minutes to resolve the battle". According to the difference of 15 seconds before and after... I won, I won!The principal is 100, and it is multiplied 10 times, which is a total of 1000 low-grade spiritual stones. It is a huge profit! ! "

……

The noise was like boiling water, buzzing and buzzing incessantly.

Under the colorful lights, large round or square arenas were spread out.

The one closest to him had just finished a battle.

Ye Hanjun saw a scarred Xunbao, which was carefully rescued by medical staff and then imprisoned again.

The wind wolf lying in a pool of blood was bitten by a group of hyenas and became their dinner.

This - is an underground casino.

Ever since I stepped into this space, the strong smell of blood has been overwhelming, and I don't know how many creatures have died tragically here.

But the people here seem to be used to it. Regardless of whether they are men or women, whether they are old or strong, whether they are holding a wine glass, shaking the beer, or hugging a handsome guy or holding a beautiful woman, they only have greed in their eyes.

"Go up, go up! I don't believe that seven fire ants can't defeat a water toad!"

"Hahaha, fire ants are all perfect clay sculptures, but water toads are perfect clay sculptures. This level of numerical advantage is not enough to turn the tables, right?"

In another arena, a melee had just begun.

There were more than twenty humans onlookers, most of whom stood on the side of the water toads and a small half on the side of the fire ants. They were either cheering or scolding, and they were very excited and excited.

"Fizz!"

During the fierce battle, the seven fire ants seemed to have been severely stimulated and desperately attacked the water toad.

The water toad, whose mental state is also extremely unstable, is furious and crazy. Every shot of the water gun can knock away a fire ant, giving it no chance to get close.

"puff--"

Without any warning, an injured fire ant was suddenly promoted to a higher level.

It was promoted from Clay Sculpture Dacheng to Clay Sculpture Perfection, its injuries improved slightly, and its crawling speed and biting power became faster and more ferocious.

After a bloody battle, the water toad managed to defeat the fire ant, but was seriously injured by the burning liquid splashed out of the fire ant's body.

"Fizz!"

In the end, five of the fire ants died and two were disabled, while the water toad was unable to support itself and was unfortunately defeated.

The people who bet on the victory of the fire ants burst out laughing, their smiles almost reaching behind their ears.

The toad bettors cursed, smashed the fruit plate, and smashed the fence angrily. Because they made too much noise, they immediately attracted the attention of the security personnel.

"What are you doing? If you buy it, you have to admit it if you lose!"

An E-class "police officer" with his "fat dog" picked up two drunken men who were arguing the most violently like chickens.

One of them punched him and passed out.

The other one was unwilling to give up and wanted to scratch the police officer's face with his nails, and kept going crazy with alcohol.

"Oh!"

Another merciless punch, the pretty woman's face was bruised and even her front teeth flew out.

"Go, take off her clothes and throw her outside."

"You dare to cause trouble here, you are so impatient!"

The police officer dropped the woman on the ground like a piece of trash.

Two bastards who were obviously subordinates came running over with their contracted spirits. They smiled flatteringly and followed the instructions.

……

"Two guests, there's a small problem, so don't panic."

Two scantily clad beauties found Dongfang Xu and Ye Hanjun holding wine glasses and took the initiative to ogle them.

"Are there any fighting beasts you are interested in? If not, you might as well let us recommend them to you."

"Need not!"

Dongfang Xu glanced at it and pushed it away, looking impatient.

Like a regular customer, he led Ye Hanjun to order two drinks at the bar, and then took a seat in the ring viewing seat on the far right.

After just observing for a short while, he bet on the chickadee to win between the "titmouse" and the "flower sparrow".

"Aw!!"

"Quack! Quack!"

After a bloody battle, one of the two spirits, who had obviously been injected with mad drugs, died and the other was disabled.

The chickadee won, but its odds were lower.

The 100 chips only become 120.

The second battle of beasts began, and Dongfang Xu continued to place bets.

This time he pressed 300, and he pressed the end time of the battle.

The odds are as high as ten times. If you can win, you can really make a lot of money.

But this is a very difficult matter. The actual results are too different from the judged results, and the 300 low-grade spiritual stones were instantly wasted.

...In the lavish casino, perfume and blood compete with each other.

Wild spirits continue to fall in a pool of blood. Some people cheer for this, and some are upset about it. You can see a lot of extreme aspects of life here.

"Tack, tick, tick..."

Like the sound of high heels walking, a man with his whole body shining walked into the casino.

He was tall and muscular, and his entire set of dark gold dress seemed to be a custom-made one. It was inlaid with rose-red broken gemstones, which flashed and flashed, making it very gorgeous.

He has long golden hair like a waterfall, and even his skin has a faint luster. The heroic spirit between his eyebrows is ready to come out. He is like a noble son of the royal family. His every move is elegant and polite. He raises his eyebrows and glances to show his handsomeness. Incisively and vividly.

"This is... Huo Xin?!"

"It's true, this conspicuous bag is here again..."

Among the noisy crowd, it was like a huge stone was dropped, causing ripples everywhere.

More than a third of the punters averted their eyes, unable to easily ignore this radiant and handsome man.

"Hey, everyone is welcome~"

Huo Xin raised his right hand and greeted him casually.

There is also a tray in his hand, but the chips on it are only one color, all with a face value of 100, and there are no options for 50 and 10 at all.

"Boss Huo, I have long admired your name!"

"Haha, I heard that Brother Huo is a celebrity in Canghai Pavilion. What a talented person we met today!"

"Yes, yes, I wonder if we are getting married? I have a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower. When we have a meal together, we should just get to know each other..."

"Go, go, Mr. Huo will take a fancy to your ugly girl? If you ask me, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Huo, we all know that you have a sharp eye and a strong gambling luck. What do you want to play today? We are with you! "

A group of people surrounded Huo Xin, and the noise in the casino escalated to a higher level.

"It's just right. My hands are itchy. Let's play some "Chaos" first to cheer up the fun. "

Huo Xin's eyes glanced at Dongfang Xu inadvertently.

After a brief moment of intersection, he walked towards the largest ring in the center.

Along the way, there were gorgeous maids who came up to him with smiles. He would not refuse anyone who came, and his hearty laughter and wild movements perfectly fit the image of a playboy.

"Roar!!"

Ten wild spirits were released in a row, all of them were clay sculptures, and their ranks ranged from clay sculpture minor to perfect clay sculpture.

Huo Xin just glanced at it and bet 500 chips on the seventh spirit.

Among the people who gathered around, some followed suit, while others took a different approach and insisted on betting on other spirits.

When the great battle officially began, the ten spirits fought against each other. Unexpectedly, the spirit number [-] was the second to die. In the end, number [-] was the only one to survive.

"Hahahaha! Got rich! Got rich!"

"I bet 1000, and I will make 5000 directly this time! Mr. Huo is really good news to me! The bad luck that I have suffered for several days is finally gone!"

A skinny old man was dancing with excitement.

Most of the others looked at him with envy and greed. Some of them lost money, but they lowered their voices and asked their companions:
"Hey, does he know how to bet? I just followed the bet for 300 and didn't make any money."

"You don't understand this, right? Mr. Huo's main business is 'wealth-spreading boys'."

"Although he occasionally wins a lot of money, he has at least lost tens of thousands of spiritual stones this week without even frowning. Such a generous move is a treasure of the casino."

"That is to say, he is very good at 'warming up'?"

The first person scratched his head, and after feeling dazed, he laughed:
"I understand, if you follow him, you don't have to follow him."

"Once you win what you bet on, you will definitely make a lot of money, and you will wake up laughing in your dreams at night."

"Hey." The companion grinned and glanced a few times. Seeing that the second round of brawl was about to begin, he quickly placed his bet.

"Brother Bai, let's go have some fun too."

Dongfang Xu said hello, and followed the surging flow of people to the central arena.

Ye Hanjun stepped forward, but his eyes stayed on Huo Xin, and the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc.

The eighth among the Ten Pride of Canghai Pavilion, Jin Shining Huo Xin!
This man is jade tree facing the wind, handsome and unrestrained, it is true.

But his whole body was crystal clear, as if his whole body was glowing, which had something to do with his authority.

D-class "Juggler" - the best at tricking people!
Passive power: visual distortion, subtly distorting the vision of outsiders, resulting in wrong judgments.

The active power·trick pocket is similar to a miniature space storage device. It can use energy to condense throwing knives, flash bombs, roses, ropes, elixirs, flames and other things. Winning the favor of passers-by is as simple as searching the pocket to retrieve items.

"Snapped!"

Dongfang Xu placed a bet of 300 on the number five soul. Lord Ye Han glanced at it and placed a bet of 300 on the number three.

The brawl began. Huo Xin bet 1000 on the No. [-] Familiar Spirit. He was so brave that he killed No. [-] and No. [-] in a single encounter.

The remaining spirits were fighting in various ways, and their roars and screams were drowned in the more turbulent cheers, and the atmosphere in the casino reached a climax in an instant.

"Hahaha, I won."

The No. 3000 favored spirit won, triple the odds, and won [-] chips.

This time, those who placed bets with Huo Xin laughed from ear to ear, while those who placed bets on their own sighed in annoyance.

"Keep going!"

"Mr. Huo, what number do you press for the third round? I'll vote with you!"

……

The gamblers' hearts burned with greed.

Dongfang Xu and Ye Hanjun, who casually bet and play casually, don't care at all whether they win or lose money.

They seem to be having fun, but in fact their perception is spreading and they are always observing the layout of the casino.

This mission is very difficult, but the reward is extremely generous.

As long as this underground casino can be eradicated and an evil force is wiped out, all the treasure gained can be used and distributed by oneself.

Dongfang Xu estimates that if this thing is really done, everyone in the Pirate Fire Mercenary Group will be armed to the teeth and quickly increase their strength.

In addition to the part Ye Hanjun uses for himself, the excess can also be distributed to his disciples to help them grow better.

——This is a very considerable resource.

The only problem is how to remove it.

As far as the eye can see, there are definitely more than 30 guards in the casino.

All of them are second-level dependents, there are no first-level miscellaneous fish, and based on observation of their words and deeds, they are either brave and aggressive or dark and cunning, with extremely high alertness.

Of course, these are minor annoyances.

The biggest trouble comes from the "Mr. An" mentioned just now.

The specific identity and background of this person are still unclear.

What is certain is that he is an E-level "gambler" who is not very good at fighting, but he has also been promoted to the third level and has a contracted spirit with a small jade infant.

Moreover, according to Dongfang Xu's information, Mr. An may have some friends of the same rank who occasionally appear near the casino.

——If you want to take down the casino, you can't have a head-on conflict with them.

Part of the intelligence showed that Mr. An did not always stay in the casino and would leave for a while.

The most fundamental purpose of Ye Hanjun and Dongfang Xu entering the casino was to confirm this time period.

As long as you know that when there is no Jade Infant's Fetus guarding here, you will have a real chance to rise up and attack with thunderous force.

"Hahaha, Mr. Huo, this is a terrible loss. I have lost almost all my profit!"

"That's right! Mr. Huo spends money like water, whether he is winning or losing money, he looks really cool. Look at those women, from old ladies to young girls, they all seem to want to eat you. You have to be careful , don’t let them take advantage of you.”

"Where is it."

Huo Xin waved his hand and said energetically:
"We're all here to have fun, and we'll have as much fun as we want."

"But there's one question. Don't you think clay sculpture-level brawls are a bit boring?"

"Is the person in charge of the casino here? I'm here today, why don't you get some high-level fighting beasts of the Kasumi level and play a few games?"

As soon as this statement came out, the crowd gathered around was stunned at first, and then burst into cheers. They were all people who were watching the excitement and did not take it too seriously:

"Did you hear that? Mr. Huo is not having a good time!"

"Go and call Mr. An out. Gambling beasts of the Xiazhao level must get his consent. This is Mr. Huo of Canghai Pavilion who speaks in person. It would be a bit disappointing if it offends his face, right?"

"Crack, crack, crack—"

A series of applause rang out, and with the aura of the superior beast sweeping away, the noisy crowd seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on them, and there was suddenly silence.

An old man with his hands behind his back and a calm expression walked up to Huo Xin under the respectful gazes of the guards.

"I, Anratusa, have met Mr. Huo."

"Mr. Huo is not having a good time here, and Mr. An cannot escape the blame. It is really a sin, a sin."

"Come here, go and escort the fighting beasts at the level of Xia Zhao. Let's have a good time today. You won't come back until you get drunk! You must have fun!"
