mysterious forerunner

Chapter 213 Hand Cards
This is a huge casino.

Magnificent and magnificent, the level of luxury is unparalleled.

The sound of cheerful music echoed around.

There are beauties of all races walking through the hall, including orcs, elves, angels, succubus, black people, white people, cyborgs...

What they have in common is that they have hot bodies and cool clothes.

They smile beautifully and hold up trays with all kinds of fine wines and delicacies on them. As soon as you say hello, they will appear in front of you. At the same time, they will bend down and deliver the trays to you, allowing you to choose.

What is also presented to you at the same time is a large area of ​​white greasy in the deep ravine on the chest.

There are hundreds of gaming tables, but there is only one gambler in front of each gaming table.

At least half of those gaming tables were empty.

The dealers across the gaming table have different looks and figures.

Moreover, facing every gambler, their responses are ever-changing, with different expressions and actions.

Zhang Qingxiang blinked.

Everything in front of me suddenly changed:

The splendid hall has turned into a hell cave!
The beauties of all races walking by were skeletons, mummies, and human skins!
Their faces were stiff and filled with gloomy energy.

The trays in their hands were in ruins, with some wriggling maggots and broken bowls filled with rotten flesh and pus piled on them.

The cheerful music disappeared and was replaced by the howling wind.

Above the void, countless white bones were used to piece together a line of crooked characters:

Betting on dogs will lead to a bad death!

The gamblers were surrounded by a strong aura of death.

Death energy is like venomous snakes. When a gambler loses a round, they will bite off part of the "life" from the gambler's body and devour it.

Every gambler described himself as haggard, with pale and blue faces and heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Fate is coming soon.

Only the croupiers still looked like stunning beauties, with diamond crowns on their heads. I am very satisfied with my "place", and no matter what the expression on my face is, there is always a smile on my face.

Suddenly, hundreds of dealers glanced at Zhang Qingxiang quickly at the same time.

Everything in front of Zhang Qingxiang suddenly changed, and once again turned into a splendid casino where singing and dancing flourished.

Zhang Qingxiang worked hard to find Zuo Yehang and others among the gamblers.

But the "beauties" of all races seemed to have read through his thoughts, and kept giggling and flashing in front of him, and their postures seemed to be dancing.

In front of Zhang Qingxiang, a red and pink Rakshasa formation suddenly shimmered and psychedelically covered the true faces of all the gamblers.

What Zhang Qingxiang could clearly see was the croupier wearing a diamond crown, staring at him with a charming smile.

It made Zhang Qingxiang's hair stand on end.

Zhang Qingxiang blinked again and activated his [Spiritual Eyes].

But then Zhang Qingxiang groaned, his eyes stung violently, and blood flowed down his cheeks.

The secret skill [Spiritual Eye] was also interrupted.

Zhang Qingxiang closed his eyes to recover, and a manic voice sounded in his ears: "Do you understand the rules of the casino, you bad guy!"

Regardless of gender, once it enters the ear, it will be like countless corpse worms, gnawing from one's ear holes to one's brain.

An angry and impulsive emotion burst out in Zhang Qingxiang's chest.

"Huh..." Zhang Qingxiang took several deep breaths in succession, but still couldn't get rid of the influence of this emotion. Finally, he suddenly opened his blood-red eyes, glared at the entire casino, pointed at the void and jumped up and said nonsense:

"What's the point of this low-end gambling?"

"Come on, I'll challenge you!"

As soon as these words came out, hundreds of croupiers wearing diamond crowns were not affected at all in the shuffling and dealing of cards. They still had smiles on their faces and still said words to tease the gamblers in front of them——

But everyone's left eye was fixed on Zhang Qingxiang.

From Zhang Qingxiang's perspective, this scene was extremely strange.

In addition, the girls and gamblers of all races in the casino turned a blind eye to Zhang Qing, and were not affected at all.

The manic and depressive voice sounded again: "It depends on whether you are qualified to serve."

Every word he spoke was like exploding countless corpse insects, which had begun to circle around Zhang Qingxiang's body.

This time it was not only anger, but also contempt - Zhang Qingxiang felt that impulse, which almost turned into a red-eyed fighting dog and rushed out of his chest.

"Take him to have his life money weighed."

The voice gave instructions, and a succubus who only covered the hidden parts of his body came up with a smile, took Zhang Qingxiang's hand, and led him somewhere.

During the action, her tail flicked Zhang Qingxiang's face and butt from time to time.

Zhang Qingxiang threw away his hand in disgust, and the succubus chuckled: "You like pure ones?"

So he instantly transformed into an angel with white wings, deep blue eyes, wearing a white dress, holding a cross sword upside down in his hand, and a ring of holy light surrounding his head.

Zhang Qingxiang was full of irritability and snorted coldly: "I like hermaphrodites!"

"Change and show me!"

The other party was obviously stunned for a moment. He followed the Elephant Lord throughout countless worlds and had seen many perverts. This was the first time he had encountered such a pervert.

She was hesitating whether to transform... The voice said dissatisfied: "Do something!"

She trembled all over, obediently transformed back into her succubus form, and led Zhang Qingxiang to push open a heavy black iron door next to her.

There is a large scale hanging inside.

There is a strange man who is more than ten feet tall, with eight slender arms extending out from both sides of the torso, like a giant strange insect. He is lifting a large scale with one tentacle on his head, and the eight arms are sensitively adjusting the position of the weight.

Another tentacle on the top of the head wrapped around a person and was about to throw it from the scale. It should be a guest in the hotel.

"You're dead."

"I have, I still have!" The gambler struggled and refused to go down, his eyes were red and he looked crazy: "I still have a wife and two sons. I can decide their lives!"

The giant insect-man stared at him with a pair of strange compound eyes: "Do you really want to take me up?"

The gambler screamed: "Bet!"

The giant insect man chuckled, stretched out three arms and grabbed it.

Strange arms like insect limbs disappeared into the void, and three people were pulled out immediately.

It was the gambler's wife and two sons.

Zhang Qingxiang's eyelids twitched: In this era, the secret world has not yet been able to invade. It can simply "come" and capture people from the air!
The owner of the casino must be a elephant owner.

Otherwise, such power would never be possible.

The mother and son had frightened faces. They didn't know what happened, but they were thrown onto the huge scale by the insect man. The eight arms of the insect man quickly adjusted the position of the scale.

"Two, two, four dollars."

After the call was completed, the insect man spread out an arm and flicked it in the chip box. Two silver and four green chips flew into the hands of the gamblers.

A huge black whirlpool appeared on the scale, and his family screamed in horror and fell into it, disappearing without a trace.

The gamblers didn't even look at them. They grabbed their chips and rushed out: "I will definitely be able to make money back. When I win, I will redeem you."

The insect man's huge compound eyes reflected Zhang Qingxiang's figure: "Another one?"

Zhang Qingxiang moved his body angrily: "Hurry up."

He lifted his feet and climbed onto the scale himself.

The insect man chuckled strangely, picked up the big scale, and quickly adjusted it with his eight arms: "Oh, my life is quite heavy, six pounds and twenty taels a dollar!"

Zhang Qingxiang stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here."

The insect man sent six gold, two silver, and one green chips.

Zhang Qingxiang held his head high and followed the succubus out.

The manic voice in the dark knows everything that happens in the casino.

As soon as Zhang Qingxiang came out, He said: "Bring him up."

The second floor of the casino is a more luxurious box.

The succubus pushed open the two soft-covered doors, then bowed her head and retreated with great humility.

Zhang Qingxiang walked in with chips in his hand. In the center of the oblong gaming table, there was also a croupier wearing a cheongsam and a diamond tiara sitting on his head.

On the left side of the gambling table, a giant toad wearing a black tuxedo suit sat lazily.

His body occupies one-third of the space in this box, and even when he is sitting there, he is more than five meters tall.

The suit on his body should also be a powerful secret object. It changes with his body without affecting his activities at all.

One of his webbed palms tapped lightly on the gambling table, and there was a huge scar in the shape of a cross star around his left eye.

In his wide mouth, he held a cigar as thick as a pillar, took a sip, and exhaled a huge cloud of smoke.

Dozens of souls howled in pain in the smoke, and then completely dissipated and annihilated.

Only then did Zhang Qingxiang see that the huge "cigar" was rolled out of hundreds of human skins!

The toad high roller was quite dissatisfied, and his voice was still manic: "I really shouldn't have come to this place to play a card game. The money I won is not enough for me to buy a cigarette."

There were more than 400 people trapped in the entire hotel, and all of them were skinned... which might not be enough for him to roll a cigar.

The croupier smiled and spread his left hand: "Guests, please take a seat."

Zhang Qingxiang sat on the right side of the gaming table.

At this time, in the private room, on one side of the oblong gaming table sat a ferocious and huge toad high roller, in the middle was a stunning croupier, and on the other side was a tiny ordinary human being.

The visual impact is extremely strong.

It looks like the dealer is like a cook, and Zhang Qingxiang is the food that is about to be put on the table.

The only diners can only be toad high rollers.

"Let's begin." Toad Hawker calmly ordered, and the card game officially began.

The Toad High Roller seemed very casual, with a large number of chips piled around him.

At the same time, as the gamblers below lose all their money, new chips will automatically appear in His hands.

Pre-flop, flop, turn, river, every time Toad didn't even look at it, grabbed a few chips and threw them out.

Zhang Qingxiang, on the other hand, is much more cautious.

Zhang Qingxiang plays Texas Hold'em and all other chess and card games that have appeared in "The Game of Gods and Ghosts". In the previous life, not only Zhang Qingxiang, but also almost all practitioners had "minor training" in card skills.

It's all just in case you are unfortunate enough to enter the [Shen and Ghost Gambling Game], don't turn your eyes black and you won't know anything.

Zhang Qingxiang estimated that it was the remaining time of the poker game and calculated the chips in his hand.

Toad, on the other hand, didn't care about Zhang Qingxiang's plans at all.

According to the amount of chips on both sides, it is almost impossible for Zhang Qingxiang to win all his chips before the end of the game.

And precisely because of the attitude of the toad high roller, the chips in front of Zhang Qingxiang began to gradually increase.

He won.

The toad gambler casually glanced at his chips: "You want to save these people?"

Zhang Qingxiang did not deny it: "You can save as many as you can."

With the strength of the other party, lying is meaningless, so it is better to speak frankly.

Zhang Qingxiang sorted out his chips. There are now twelve gold chips, twenty-one silver chips, and seventeen green chips.

Roughly speaking, a silver chip is equivalent to the "life money" value of an ordinary person.

One gold chip is exchanged for ten silver chips.

There are about four hundred people trapped in the entire hotel, which means that under normal circumstances, the total number of chips in this mysterious scene is about forty golden chips.

Counting Zuo Yehang and Zhang Qingxiang, the total would not exceed fifty golden chips.

But obviously the chips circulating on various gambling tables have far exceeded this number.

Because there are many gamblers who, after losing all their money, put their parents, brothers, sisters, wives, children, boyfriends and girlfriends on the line.

Zhang Qingxiang finished counting his chips and made a clear statement to the toad high roller: "If the gambling is over and I am lucky enough to still have a surplus, I will only redeem those players who lost their own lives but did not implicate other people."

"A beast that puts its own immediate family members on top is not worth saving at all!"

The toad hawker remained indifferent.

For an existence like it, the "justice" that Zhang Qingxiang holds in his heart is meaningless.

Even the entire earth is not of much value to it.

It has conquered many similar worlds.

The only thing it is interested in is the "game" in front of it.

"Whatever you want," the toad high-roller smoked his cigar, not even bothering to raise his heavy eyelids: "We are playing cards, and it depends on luck. If you are lucky, you might be able to buy back everyone you like. .”

Then the toad high roller impatiently urged the dealer: "Deal the cards."

The dealer shuffled the cards skillfully and was about to start the next round of cards.

Suddenly, there was a fierce noise downstairs, and someone yelled: "You are cheating!"

"My luck can't be so bad!"

"I am a powerful professional with great luck. How can I be worse off than those ordinary people?"

The word "cheating" made the toad hawker frown.

There was obviously no change downstairs, but there was a gambling table that stood out. Both Zhang Qingxiang and Toad Hawker saw that there was a gambler who was losing his sight. He messed up his hair and pointed. The dealer yelled and cursed.

This man is Pang Bufan.

Toad Hawker glanced at Zhang Qingxiang lightly and asked, "You guys know each other, do you want to save him?"

Zhang Qingxiang said unceremoniously: "No help!"

Before coming in, Zhang Qingxiang had thought that if Zuo Yehang and the four of them were within their means, Lan Qingqing and Zhuang Sheng could try to save them.

Zuo Yehang and Pang Bufan were determined not to save him.

It is true that the family represented by Zuo Yehang is powerful, and his death in the original city will cause the Zuo family and the Xiao family to retaliate against the original city's secret case team.

But Zhang Yanei could not do anything to repay evil with kindness.

Why should I risk my life to save my enemy?

That would make me confused!

The toad hawker just asked casually, not caring about Pang Bufan's life or death.

It held the cigar awkwardly between its webbed palms, pressed its hands together on the shooting table, professionally opened the legs of the two cards, rubbed them gently to see clearly, and then pressed them down quickly.

Just highlight one major.

Then the Toad Hawker used the suction cups on his webbed palms to stick a few golden chips and threw them out.

"That guy is hopeless." It chatted casually: "I lost my life, my parents' life, and finally my master's life."

Zhang Qingxiang raised his eyebrows and asked unexpectedly: "Master? Does he still have a master?"

The toad hawker took a puff of his cigar and blew out the smoke, which rolled and changed, showing a dreamy bubble in which Pang Bufan's life flashed by.

His parents have very little wealth - this is compared to ordinary people. As a classmate in college, if he could become friends with Zuo Yehang, his family would have at least tens of millions.

He is the only child in the family.

When I was a freshman, I joined a Bajiquan club, and the leader was a senior.

He originally joined the club because Zuo Yehang suddenly became interested in Bajiquan.

After joining the club, the team leader accidentally discovered that Pang Bufan was a good candidate for practicing Baji, so he took great care of Pang Bufan.

During that time, Zuo Yehang was obsessed with boxing. In order to please him, Pang Bufan also practiced hard. Seeing that he could endure hardship and came from a wealthy family, Pang Bufan officially accepted him as his disciple.

Pang Bufan didn't care much about this master-disciple relationship, but it was very important in the martial arts circle.

Even after the senior graduated and Zuo Yehang and Pang Bufan lost interest in Bajiquan, the senior always took good care of Pang Bufan.

Even after the universal practice started, the senior unexpectedly became a professional, and even tried every means to steal an original object to help Pang Bufan become a professional.

It was precisely because we were all professionals that Pang Bufan was able to continue hanging around Zuo Yehang after graduation.

But the master who was so kind to him was betrayed by him.

Deep down, Pang Bufan actually didn't care much about the master-disciple relationship. If the senior had the same view in his heart, he would not be betrayed by Pang Bufan.

The rule of the Gods and Ghosts game is that you can only sell the people closest to you.

In the martial arts circle, the master-disciple relationship is not much different from the father-son relationship.

"You deserve to die!" Zhang Qingxiang cursed, not to mention not knowing how to rescue Pang Bufan.

After cursing, Zhang Qingxiang casually threw away the two cards in his hand.

The toad high roller's eyelids suddenly raised halfway, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's a waste of my good cards."

Zhang Qingxiang sneered secretly: If I hadn't been rich in experience in my previous life, I would have been deceived by you.

How could the toad hawker be so kind and share Pang Bufan's life with him for nothing?
Zhang Qingxiang is very sure that the two trump cards in the hands of the high roller in this round are at least a pair of queens!

Maybe even a pair of Aces!

While showing himself Pang Bufan's life, he casually threw out three golden chips. Once you lose concentration and follow the bet casually, you will probably lose a lot.

These masters in "The Game of Gods and Ghosts" not only have huge power, but also a wealth of card game skills and tricks of this kind.

They are also professional gamblers. As long as they can win, they will do anything within the limits allowed by the rules.

In the next dozen or so cards, Zhang Qingxiang's luck was extremely bad.

The best hand is just two 8s and 9s of different colors.

The toad high roller raised his bet after seeing the cards, but Zhang Qingxiang chose to fold all his cards and not play, so he kept losing blind bets and the chips in front of him slowly shrank.

A faint smile finally appeared on the Toad Hawker's face, and the cross-shaped scars around his eyes squirmed like living creatures: "No good cards?"

"Have you never thought about it, could I get good cards more than ten times in a row?"

"I'm exploiting you."

While it was talking, in a new hand, it raised to a full twelve golden chips before the flop!

This is almost all the chips in front of Zhang Qingxiang.

Toad Hawker half-opened his eyes and took a puff of his cigar: "I'm just trying to trick you, do you dare to follow me?"

Zhang Qingxiang, however, was not agitated at all. He turned over the pair of jacks in his hand and threw them away: "I won't follow."

Then Zhang Qing said fiercely: "You didn't play cards like this. I guess your hand is a pair of Aces. Originally, you had a chance to empty out my chips, but it's a pity that you were too impatient and lost this good opportunity." Chance."

The toad hawker snorted coldly, changed his cards so as not to show them to Zhang Qingxiang, and said calmly: "You are self-righteous."

"Just think of it as a pair of aces."

It tapped the table with its webbed paw and said to the dealer: "Continue to deal the cards."

But in the next few cards, the high-roller continued to raise bets wildly, trying every means to prove to Zhang Qingxiang that he was not affected by that card.

But the toad high roller was already secretly worried, because Zhang Qingxiang’s guess about the hand just now was absolutely correct. His hand was the best hand in Texas, a pair of Aces!

Zhang Qingxiang's pair of jacks is also a very good hand. If it is not impatient, it is really possible to win all Zhang Qingxiang's chips in one go.

The toad high roller looked at the new card and held it gently. He was thinking about how much to raise when suddenly there was another commotion downstairs.

Zhang Qingxiang glanced down and said, "He seems to be an acquaintance of yours."

A gambling table was highlighted. The croupier is a handsome elite guy with a smile on his face and is taking away the last chips in front of the gamblers on the other side.

The gambler's face was pale, his delicate body was trembling, and he was sweating coldly.

The elf dealer asked: "Madam, do you still want to make up the numbers? Your relatives can use them to place bets. As long as you win, you can redeem them."

Lan Qingqing was about to cry. She clenched her teeth and hesitated for several minutes before shaking her head vigorously.

The toad hawker held a cigar in his mouth and invited Zhang Qingxiang: "How about we increase the bet in this game. If you win, you can get an extra life of this girl."

Zhang Qingxiang frowned and fell into a dilemma.

Toad Hawker continued: "You came to save people, but you haven't saved anyone so far. What on earth did you come in for?"

Zhang Qingxiang stared at the Toad Hawker in confusion: "You have a very good hand..." Zhang Qingxiang deliberately prolonged his voice and used words to test, while paying close attention to every subtle change in the Toad Hawker's expression: "Or, you Your cards are very bad, are you trying to rip me off again?”

Toad Hawker's expression remained unchanged, and his heavy eyelids remained motionless.

Zhang Qingxiang hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you."

The toad high roller's face still showed no change at all, and he said to the dealer: "Continue to deal the cards."

The two cards under the toad's webbed palms were a pair of kings!

A great deck of cards!
　I will try to write as few cards as possible. There are not many people playing Texas Hold'em. Next time I write about mahjong, I can write more ^_^
