On the Avenue.

Chapter 213 Be Careful All Your Life
Many dealers in gambling houses only look like humans on the outside, but their souls are very strange.

Chen Shi saw that the dealer at the next gambling table was a human with a chicken's head, wearing a turquoise dress embroidered with red and yellow peonies. Behind the dealer's head was a rooster's long feathers, hanging down from his back, almost dragging on the ground.

He walked towards another gambling table. The dealer at this table was shaped like a hawk moth, with gray, hairy antennae growing in a fan shape on a small, furry head. He was wearing a gray-black Taoist robe with a golden collar and a pattern of the five poisonous creatures embroidered with red thread.

It has two pairs of white wings behind it, and it looks like a human but is not human.

"Will the chicken demon lose control, be controlled by instinct, and eat the moth demon?" Such a thought suddenly popped up in Chen Shi's mind.

There is also a dealer at the gambling table with a snake head and a human body, wearing a large flowered robe, which is quite festive.

Most dealers in gambling houses are like this.

The gamblers around the gambling table seemed to be unaware of the dealer's anomaly and placed their bets one after another, creating a very lively atmosphere.

In addition to gamblers, there are also some girls in scantily clad clothes walking back and forth in Happy Forest. They dress very revealingly, as if they cannot afford clothes and only use silk gauze to cover their private parts. Sometimes they also participate in betting to liven up the atmosphere, and sometimes they watch others bet and help shout, which seems to improve the gamblers' luck.

Whenever the gamblers won, some would throw some change to them, while others, unable to control their lust, would take the women to a small room in Happy Forest.

When they came out, the girls had money in their hands and continued to bet, even more fanatical than the gamblers.

Some who lost in gambling were taken away to have their fingers and hands chopped off. Chen Shi saw that many gamblers were missing a few fingers on their hands when they placed bets, and some even had bare wrists.

In the dimness of Happy Forest, there was a man selling his wife. He pushed his wife onto the guards, took the silver and happily went into the gambling house, shouting, "My wife, I will come back to redeem you when I win the bet!"

There is also a special small room in Happy Forest, similar to a pawnshop. If you lose in gambling and have no money, you can mortgage your property, land, accessories, and other items. If all else fails, you can bring your sons and daughters with you, and the pawnshop will accept them.

There is always a way to sell these things.

At night, desire is magnified to the extreme here. Everyone seems to be a slave to desire, controlled and enslaved by desire.

Chen Shi was walking among the crowd. In his ear was a tiny puppet, Yanshi, only the size of an ant, but with all the necessary organs. It was talking to Chen Shi and said, "True King, did you notice the man in purple over there?"

Chen Shi looked over and saw a man in purple in the corner.

"There is such a purple-robed person in every hall, and he is called a fortune teller."

The puppet Yanshi is Situ Wen. He has already rushed to Gongzhou, but with the help of the puppet Yanshi's magic, he can still contact Chen Shi even though they are hundreds of miles apart.

The magic of Lu Ban Sect is extremely special. Situ Wen can control 360 puppet Yanshi at the same time and has 360 fields of vision without confusion. Therefore, he is the first person in Yudu to find Chen Shi.

"The fortune master is there to reduce the gamblers' luck. Some gamblers are particularly lucky, with purple qi infused on their heads, so they need to have their luck reduced to prevent them from taking away too much money from the gambling house. Some gamblers bring ghosts and gods into the gambling house, hoping to win money, and the fortune master also needs to take action to quietly expel or eliminate the ghosts and gods in them."

Situ Wen was obviously a frequent visitor here, and he knew everything about this place. He said, "Some gamblers gather in groups of three or five, hoping to use each other's luck to unite and cheat each other to win a lot of money, but they will also be cut into pieces by the luck master."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi said, "There are many experts in the gambling house, and the layout is also thorough. How can a gambler win?"

Situ Wen said through the puppet Yanshi: "Boshabosha, that is, Bosha. There are so many people in the world, there will always be people who believe that gambling can change their fortunes... Du Shenshou is here!"

Chen Shi was about to turn around when Situ Wen said nervously, "Don't look around. Now, everyone in Yudu City is looking for you. If you show up, you will be besieged! Go to the gambling table on the left and pretend to place a bet. Look to the right and you will see Du Shenshou and the eight Vajra beside him! The eight Vajra are all masters of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Chen Shi followed his instructions and came to the gambling table on the left. He took out a few pieces of silver and prepared to place his bet. Looking to the right, he saw a carriage parked outside the hall of Happy Forest. It was pulled by two white rhinos and was magnificent.

Eight men in black clothes were guarding the carriage. One of them stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and a man with noble appearance walked out.

The man was in his forties or fifties, and his clothes were shining with gold. They were actually woven with gold threads!
"This golden thread robe is a precious robe. Not only is it valuable, it also has extremely strong defensive power. It is a talisman weapon. Many tiny talismans are imprinted on each of the gold threads."

Situ Wen whispered, "This dress of his can block the attack of a strong man in the Spiritual Transformation Realm! Du Shenshou himself is also very powerful, and his cultivation strength is not weaker than mine, but he is also very cautious and is very timid and afraid of death. Although his cultivation is high, he still lets the Eight Vajra guard him to prevent being attacked and assassinated. The strength of the Eight Vajra is also extraordinary."

Chen Shi just took a quick glance and then looked away. The eight men in black clothes looked exactly the same. They were of average height, more than a head taller than ordinary people, strong and muscular, with well-proportioned muscles and no trace of fat.

They had square faces and beards, and wore black sleeveless vests and black trousers with narrow bottoms that only reached their ankles.

Before Du Shenshou entered the door, two of them immediately stood guard on both sides of the door, and the other two quickly came to the inside of the door and also stood guard on both sides.

The four of them each summoned their Nascent Souls, and the force field spread out silently.

The two people outside the door looked outside, while the two people inside the door looked into the gambling house.

The other four surrounded Du Shenshou and walked towards the gambling house.

Behind these eight people, there were also strange visions of souls. Chen Shi came back to life and had the ability to see through spirits, but what he saw were eight large red centipedes with long legs and feet, lying on their bodies.

The centipede's head covered their heads and its body lay down along their bodies, but the centipede was too big and half of its body was dragging on the ground.

As the Eight Vajra moved, the pairs of legs and feet of the centipede souls dragging on the ground also moved and followed them.

But the centipede legs and feet on the Eight Vajra bodies clung to their torsos tightly and did not move.

Chen Shi placed a bet casually, and regardless of winning or losing, he kept an eye on Du Shenshou's figure.

Du Shenshou also had the same vision as the other dealers, but his soul was a fat white insect with thick black hair on its back, each of which was very sharp. It looked a bit like a caterpillar, but countless times larger.

Its head is green with a slit in the middle. Its eyes are extremely large, taking up most of the head. Inside its eyes are grid-shaped compound eyes. Hundreds of eyes reflect all the movements around it.

Below the eyes are the claws, which are larger than a human head and covered with serrations.

Its limbs are made up of segments, and at the front end of each segment there are two chubby short arms on one side and two chubby short arms on the other side.

There are probably more than thirty similar limbs.

It lay on the back of Du Shenshou, wearing a golden dress, with its chubby little hands sticking out from the sleeves, looking very funny.

"Don't keep looking at him!"

The puppet Yanshi in Chen Shi's ear hurriedly reminded him, "Du Shenshou's eyesight is extremely sharp, and any slight movement will not be hidden from his eyes!"

Chen Shi whispered, "Why don't I just go over there and kill Du Shenshou?"

Situ Wen said angrily, "You killed him? How did you kill him? There are so many people here, and he has the Four Vajra Kings by his side, how could you kill someone? Everyone in this hall will be killed or shattered by your golden elixir force field... You won the money, collect it quickly, don't be like a novice."

Chen Shi quickly collected the money and saw Du Shenshou coming over. His heart was pounding and he whispered, "He's getting closer and closer to me. He's almost two meters away from me! I think I can kill him with one move!"

Situ Wen said angrily: "Let go, let go..."

He then remembered that he was a Tiangong of the Heavenly Palace, and Chen Shi was the True King. He didn't say a word and said, "True King, don't do anything stupid! You are still at the Golden Core Realm. It is impossible for you to break through the protection of the Four Vajra in one move and kill Du Shenshou! Wait a minute!"

Chen Shi casually bet the money he had just won. Du Shenshou walked over here and stopped in front of each gambling table for a moment to check the profit situation on the table.

He would also whisper a few words to the dealer, or pat the dealer on the shoulder, or when he saw the dealer losing money, he would wave his hand to call a new dealer. He was only one gambling table away from Chen Shi's table!
He has already entered a distance of twenty-four feet!
At this distance, Chen Shi can reach it in an instant by exerting force through his thighs!

Chen Shi's hands were shaking a little. He looked down at the silver on the gambling table. Situ Wen said in his ear, "Zhen Wang, your hands are shaking. Calm down... You won again. Collect the money quickly!"

The dealer used a wooden ruler to push the silver on the table in front of Chen Shi, winning two games in a row. There was already a small pile of loose silver in front of Chen Shi, which looked like about a hundred taels.

His gambling table is for betting on numbers. There are sixteen numbers engraved on the table, from three to eighteen. If you bet on a number correctly, the payout will be six to one.

Chen Shi bet on the number nine twice, and the dice came up with "225" and nine points both times, so the three taels of silver turned into one hundred and eight taels.

Chen Shi had been paying attention to Du Shenshou's every move, and he casually pushed the pile of silver out, still betting on nine.

The other people at the gambling table were in an uproar. If the dice came up with nine again, it would be more than six hundred taels, which was definitely a considerable sum in Happy Forest!

The dealer who was shaking the dice also felt the pressure. He looked towards the purple-clothed fortune master in the corner, hoping that he would come over quickly and reduce the boy's luck.

The fortune master also noticed the unusual situation here, stood up and walked over to observe Chen Shi's fortune.

Du Shenshou was also alarmed. Looking over here, he saw that the gambling table was surrounded by gamblers. Chen Shi was stuck in the middle. He couldn't see Chen Shi's face for a while.

"Open! Open! Open!" The gamblers were even more excited than Chen Shi, and they shouted while staring at the dice cup.

The dealer was a monster with a chicken's head and a human body. He also felt the pressure at the moment. His hands were shaking a little, but he still opened the dice cup.

One, three, five.

Still nine.

The dealer raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and exchanged Chen Shi's silver for six silver notes of 100 taels. The remaining 48 taels of silver were exchanged for four silver ingots of 10 taels and eight taels of broken silver.

Chen Shi picked up a few taels of loose silver and, imitating the masters in the gambling house, stuffed the silver into the chest of the scantily clad girl next to him, and then put the remaining banknotes and silver on the number nine.

There was an uproar in the venue, and many gamblers rushed to the gambling table, making it very lively.

Du Shenshou frowned slightly. Generally speaking, when this kind of situation happens in a gambling house, it is often when the gambling house is about to suffer a big misfortune. It must be that a gambler with extremely good luck has appeared.

However, no matter how good your luck is, it will eventually run out.

He walked towards Chen Shi's table without any panic.

Chen Shi’s eyes widened. It was ten feet high!

Du Shenshou was approaching him, only ten feet away!

"Open! Open! Open!" The gamblers were extremely enthusiastic.

Chen Shi clenched his fists and his eyes widened. It was getting closer, too close!

Du Shenshou has already entered within ten feet!

In his ears, the little puppet Yanshi controlled by Situ Wen was also very excited. He suppressed his excitement and said, "There are too many people. It's not suitable to fight! True King, if you win this game, don't meet Du Shenshou. Just take the money and leave!"

"Open! Open! Open!" the gamblers were still shouting.

The dealer with a chicken's head and a human body held the dice cup, gritted his teeth, and suddenly opened the dice cup!

He glanced into the cup, his body trembled violently, and he screamed, "Two, four, four! Ten! It's ten! Not nine!"

"Ugh--"

The crowd dispersed and left the gambling table and walked to other gambling tables. There were more than a hundred people around this gambling table just now, and if they walked out now, they would inevitably bump into Du Shenshou.

The Four Heavenly Kings immediately pushed the crowd away to prevent anyone from getting close to Du Shenshou, but there were too many gamblers, all of whom were guests, so they did not dare to act recklessly.

There were many people gathered around the gambling table, hoping to take advantage of Chen Shi's luck and win a bet. Next to Chen Shi, the woman with a few taels of silver in her chest took out the silver from her chest and placed a bet on the gambling table. She was so excited that her pupils dilated and she shouted, "Bet on nine!"

Chen Shi followed the crowd out and heard Situ Wen's voice: "Leave quickly, we still have a chance!"

Chen Shi followed the moving crowd and came to the side of one of the King Kongs. The King Kong stretched out his hands to block the crowd. Suddenly Chen Shi slipped under his armpits, took a step forward, turned around, clenched his left fist, and the moment he turned around, he punched Du Shenshou on the back of the head!

The Yuzhen point at the back of the head is where the shrine comes out of the body. If this place is sealed, the shrine and the divine fetus can be sealed, making it impossible for the monk's shrine to leave the body.

Chen Shi hit Du Shenshou on the back of the head with a whip fist, then slipped out from under the armpit of another King Kong and walked out of the gambling house.

When he passed by the door, the four King Kongs guarding the door looked at him. They were surprised at first, then stunned, and obviously recognized Chen Shi's identity.

When Chen Shi saw their eyes, he knew that his identity was exposed, but he had already walked out of the gambling house.

Situ Wen's voice came: "Yes, leave quickly! I know that Du Shenshou has a mistress. When he sleeps with his mistress, the Eight Vajra will definitely not stay next to him. You hide under the bed first..."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Tian Gong, Master Du is dead."

"died?"

Situ Wen was stunned. "When did he die?"

"Just now."

Chen Shi walked out of Happy Forest in a few steps and disappeared into the darkness.

Two of the Vajras chased forward, raised their Nascent Souls, and shot divine light from their eyes, which were as bright as pillars, searching around. The other two Vajras rushed towards Du Shenshou in the gambling house.

Du Shenshou stood there with a smile on his face, raising his hand to touch the back of his head.

He felt something hit the back of his head.

He touched the back of his head and felt a soft skull.

He was shocked: "I have been careful all my life, but I still fell into the trap..."

Although the back of his head remained intact, all the bones in it were smashed to pieces. His brain and the fetus in the shrine were all smashed into powder by Chen Shi's whip fist!

Du Shenshou still had a smile on his face as his body fell forward.

——Zhaizhu doesn’t know much about ancient casinos, and I don’t know if the rules of betting on numbers are correct. If there are any mistakes or omissions, please forgive me.
