Gao Mi grabbed her hand and helped Zhao Menghua, who was still trembling and in shock, to her feet. "Let's go, before anything else happens."

Three emaciated figures supported each other as they left in opposite directions.

"What on earth is all this?!"

Zhao Menghua couldn't help but turn around, but Xia Mu was nowhere to be seen...

"A big bad wolf is a big bad wolf; how can it follow other people's rules?"

Mai and Su Enxi were happily munching on snacks, just like watching a movie.

"We should be there soon."

"Yes, the climax of this scene is coming."

The two opened a bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, and clinked them together…

Xia Mu walked forward in the damp tunnel.

The darkness was like a sticky swamp, and he trudged through it.

Just like his current situation, even though there is only one path in front of him, it feels like he is walking into an abyss.

Is there any other option for Xia Mi's future?

Xia Mu pursed his lips in the darkness, gripping the Thousand Chance Umbrella even tighter.

That's just how the world is. There's no love without a reason, and no hate without a reason. Two lines of fate intersect and then diverge, and no one knows what the future holds.

Perhaps in the end, it was simply a matter of insufficient strength...

He sighed inwardly, thinking that he should continue to absorb energy from the other two dragon kings, and finally raise his strength to the level of a true king.

In that case, perhaps I wouldn't be as anxious as I am now.

He suddenly stopped and looked up, only to see golden starlight drifting in the vast darkness, with no top in sight and no wall in sight.

He entered this vast space like an ant crawling into St. Peter's Basilica in the dead of night.

Those golden starlight looked like fireflies, and by their faint light, dozens of parallel railway tracks could be seen underground.

Here, the railway becomes a spiderweb-like structure. Originally designed to store military subways, loaded with heavy tanks, it is now just a collection of rusty tracks.

He reached the end of the subway line, which was also the end of the maze.

Xia Mu groped his way forward, stepping over the sleepers one by one, until he finally saw a man-made rock wall covered with the marks of machinery. Adjoining the rock wall was a spindle-shaped cement platform, extending into the railway tracks like a pier into the sea, probably for train stops and maintenance.

He jumped onto the platform and walked to the stone wall.

At that moment, yellow lights appeared on the rock wall, flickering slowly.

The thick rock wall began to tremble.

Cracks appeared from top to bottom, the entire rock face was covered with cracks, pieces of rock fell down, and dust filled the air.

Xia Mu jumped backward.

Damn it! That's not a lamp at all! It's clearly a dragon's eye!

The rock wall completely collapsed, and something serpentine slithered out from the crack, its scales clearly visible! The yellow light was the eye of a dragon's head!

Behind the screen, both Mai and Su Enxi stood up and took a step back in unison.

"Damn! A real dragon!"

This was the first time the two of them had ever seen such a majestic, terrifying, and noble creature.

That kind of beauty is a dark beauty, a majestic beauty, and a profound beauty, which inspires awe.

The dragon's dark blue scales opened and closed sequentially from front to back, making a metallic clanging sound, and its bony face exuded a monarchical majesty.

He looked down at Xia Mu, spread his huge black wings, and let out a sharp roar.

"Let's play a game."

Xia Mu slung the Thousand Chance Umbrella over his back and suddenly spoke calmly.

Behind the screen, Mai Shude and Su Enxi stared blankly, potato chips falling from their mouths onto the floor.

The dragon's golden eyes narrowed slightly, like those of a cat.

Xia Mu was taken aback, and suddenly realized what his posture resembled.

It's just a cat!

A giant cat that weighs as much as a humpback whale!

The dragon slowly approached him, its long neck undulating. It slowly opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth like spearheads, and its long black tongue licked Xia Mu's entire body from top to bottom.

"How disgusting! What are you doing!"

Xia Mu jumped back, and his reaction was so great that it made the two people behind the screen laugh and cry at the same time.

"Does he even know what that is?! It's a dragon! A dragon!" Su Enxi looked utterly devastated. "Who would dare resist a dragon's advances?"

Mai Shude had a look of sudden realization: "So it was a gesture of goodwill, huh? I thought he was planning to lick Natsuki's boots to death... Wait! So why is he behaving like a puppy?"

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Something's not right with this dragon...

"If you don't like playing cards, what should we play?"

The dragon's voice was deep and majestic.

"Who says I don't like playing cards?"

"You killed my croupier."

"Oh...I forgot..."

Chapter 243 The Big Fool…

"I like playing cards."

Upon hearing that Xia Mu didn't mind playing cards, Long suddenly waved his membranous wings, causing two decks of cards to fall down and land between him and Xia Mu.

The two of them faced each other, like an ant meeting a dragon.

Xia Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, propping his head up with his hand: "What rules are we playing?"

Long looked at him seriously and said in a low voice, "I went to Macau when I was three, entered the Lisboa Casino when I was four, became a gambling expert when I was five, started to be unruly when I was six, and who knew that I would lose big when I was seven. I am twenty-seven this year and still carefree... Come and play Texas Hold'em!"

The two people behind the screen burst into laughter.

"Don't add lines randomly! Are those lines meant to be used here?!" Xia Mu slammed his fist on the ground in anger.

"Oh…"

The dragon's snake-like neck actually shrank slightly.

"Place the bet!"

Xia Mu put down the backpack containing the Thousand Chance Umbrella behind her.

"How much money did he bring? Does Long really need money?" Su Enxi asked.

Mai Shude shook her head: "The land of the dead is full of wealth, what would we need human money for... uh!"

Her eyes suddenly widened. "What is that?!"

On the screen, Xia Mu was pulling out bags and buckets of potato chips!

"Potato chips are the best-tasting thing in the world."

Long's eyes were noticeably bright and sparkling, and his voice was deep and serious, as if he were speaking of universal truths.

"Yes."

Xia Mu nodded seriously.

The two people behind the screen burst into laughter again.

"I only have one bag of potato chips left."

The dragon flapped its membrane wings, and a packaging bag fell down.

“No need,” Xia Mu waved his hand. “If I lose, these potato chips are yours. If I win, we’ll watch TV together.”

"it is good!"

The dragon's tongue curled back, "You're a good person."

He didn't even notice anything wrong with the way the bet was made.

Stop licking me!

Even when Xia Mu jumped back, he couldn't dodge the tongue that could extend and retract at will.

“You smell like my sister,” Long suddenly said in a deep voice. “I like it.”

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then silently sat back down opposite his head: "Deal the cards, deal the cards."

Mai Shude sighed, "He really is playing cards with a dragon, and the stakes are dozens of bags of potato chips."

“I now have a strong sense of respect for him,” Su Enxi murmured.

"but…"

Mai Shude found it strange, "His card skills seem really bad... How can he be so good at a straight flush?"

Before long, Xia Mu lost three rounds in a row.

“That’s a dragon, you know. It’s possible that it has a higher IQ than humans…” Su Enxi said.

But Xia Mu lost more and more, and within an hour he had lost all the potato chips he brought.

"Here, have it all. There's so much today, no need to save any, just eat it all."

Xia Mu waved his hand... in a coaxing tone.

"You are a good person."

The dragon licked him again, then opened the bag and extended its black wings.

With sharp claws at the tips of its wings, this giant creature moved with extreme precision, prying open the potato chip bag with its claws and carefully picking up a chip to put back into its enormous mouth.
