An invincible journey starting from a different race

But then again, I've already lost so many games, playing one more game won't change the outcome.

So Stank and Jer gritted their teeth and directly slapped the last chip - socks.

"Study!"

They had thought Lily and the clever dealer would agree immediately, but unexpectedly, after exchanging glances, they said with a sweet smile, "Are you planning to ask for help? This seems a bit against the rules."

"What?" Stank said coldly, "Are you scared?"

"Of course... not. But there are rules at the gambling table, and breaking them isn't nice." Lily blinked and said, "But you're guests after all, so it's okay to want some privileges, but at least you have to pay a little more. That way, it's fair to us."

"What else do you want us to pay?" Stank was getting angrier. "We've already given you every last bit of fabric we have, and you're still not happy?"

"Yeah." Jer also looked at the two of them, his eyes sharp as a knife. "When you bet with us, it's not about what you want, but what we... have!"

"Don't be angry, guests. Don't worry. We won't let you do anything too extreme." Lily said with a smile, "How about this, if you lose this round of poker, you can give us a bonus performance of two-man bullfighting."

Two people fighting a bull?

Stank and Jer exchanged glances, then nodded simultaneously: "No problem."

"I haven't finished yet." Lily's smile grew wider, with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "It's Niuzi's cow."

Stank and Jer: "......?"

301 Weak Goblin

"Bullfighting...to?"

Stank and Jer were instantly shocked.

What kind of fucking horrible idea is this? Is this a demon? Is this really a demon?!

"How about it, guests?" Lily seemed to have guessed their reactions long ago, so she asked with a smile, "Are you sure you want to accept this challenge?"

Stank and Jair didn't dare to speak much. Even though they were already world-famous adventurers and had all the experiences they should and shouldn't have, it didn't mean that they could accept anything.

They leaned back and moved closer to Aesop, as if they didn't want Lily and the other elf dealer to hear their conversation. However, this action was more or less like trying to cover up one's mistake, but the two dealers didn't point it out. They just looked at them with a smile. However, this smile, which should have been sweet, made the two of them feel very stressed.

"These two guys are so scary!" Stank said gritting his teeth.

"Yes." Jer nodded in agreement, "It's really terrifying!"

Aesop asked curiously, "What does bullfighting mean? Where are the bulls here?"

Stank and Jair thought Aesop was joking on purpose, but when they turned around and looked into Aesop's eyes, they found only innocence in them.

So the two of them gritted their teeth and explained it to Aesop: "The cow is the cow of the cow, what do you mean by bullfighting?"

Aesop thought for a moment and asked Stank, "Is that the one you and Bruce made in the snowy mountains?"

Stank's expression became even uglier, while Jer looked at Stank in shock: "So you've already fought once?! And with Stank?!"

Jer had not read the latest volume of Aesop's Fables, so he didn't know what was going on. Stank naturally would not bring up this matter. After all, if he could, he would have wanted to kill all the witnesses at the time.

"It was an accident! It was an accident!" Stank roared in a low voice. "Can you please stop bringing up irrelevant issues at a time like this? Our enemy right now is those two little bitches, not me!"

Jer nodded: "You are right."

Then he moved his stool a little further away from Stank.

"Hey! Jer, do you think I didn't see that?! What do you mean by that?" Stank was very annoyed. "There's nothing wrong with my sexual orientation! I told you it was just an accident last time, asshole!"

Jer moved the stool a little further away. The small action caused such great damage that Stank was so angry that he wanted to go find him and fight him.

"Alright, alright, let's deal with the situation at hand." Jer was just joking. "Honestly, I don't really care if I lose the bet. Losing is losing. It's all fun anyway. But bullfighting is really too intense. It's better to avoid it if you can."

"You said that? Do you think I was willing to fight back then?" Stank said angrily. "But those two bitches are so arrogant. Look at their expressions... Damn, so mean!"

Indeed, the expressions of the two dealers at that moment were simply the word "scrap" engraved on their faces, which made people feel angry at the same time.

Having said that, Jer also felt that he could no longer bear it.

"So what do you say?" Jer said, "Just fight them directly?"

"It's no use telling me this!" Stank turned to look at Aesop and asked, "What do you mean, Aesop?"

Aesop replied, "I want to see you two fight the bulls, too."

"Who the hell asked you that! I was asking if you have the confidence to win, and why you want to see that thing! I warned you not to go too far!" Stank was about to explode with anger.

"Oh, then I think I can win."

"I don't care what you think!" Stank clenched his fists tightly and said, "You have to understand what your promise means! If we lose now, then we lose, and at most we become their playthings. But if you join in, risk everything, and then lose, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Jer patted Aesop's shoulder and said seriously, "Stank is right, so Aesop, you have to think about whether you can win. After all, with just one word from you, Stank and I will hand over our cows... ahem, our swords."

Aesop first looked at Jer, then at Stank. After thinking for a moment, he took a step forward, then stretched out his left and right hands at the same time, and in front of everyone, he grabbed Jer and Stank's... big swords on the left and right.

Jair and Stank were both stunned, and then subconsciously lowered their heads, looked at Aesop's hands, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Aesop said, "Didn't you say you would hand the sword over to me?"

"...I didn't even let you hold it!" the two men shouted almost in unison, "Who said it was just a physical handover?"

Aesop said "Oh" and then took his hand back.

"I think the probability of winning is still quite high." Aesop said, "Probably about 70%."

Stank frowned slightly: "How come it's only 70%?"

"Seventy percent of it is because it's my first time playing," Aesop said. "It also depends on their level, but I don't think they know how to play cards very well."

...Are you saying that a senior dealer doesn't know how to play cards? And he's just a complete novice who only watches from the sidelines and hasn't even played himself.

This is too crazy.

But this is Aesop, after all.

After a brief hesitation, Stank and Jer gritted their teeth and agreed.

"Let's get started!" Stank said. "It's just a bullfight, isn't it? I've already done it once before with Bruce, so why not do it again?"

Jer, who had been about to agree with great pride, lost most of his momentum when he heard what Stank said: "Fuck, don't act so excited!"

"Who would expect this?" Stank was too lazy to argue with Jer. He slapped the gambling table and shouted at the two dealers, "On this last round... oh no, this last endgame, Jer and I are betting everything! It's just a bullfight, right? Come on, a real man won't back down!"

"Great, that's a snap!" Dealer Lily immediately unfolded the cards in her hand, looking like a gambling god. "Then let's continue! The Warrior card you just played has been eaten by my Dream Demon card. Now it's your turn."

Oh yeah, now it's my turn.

Stank looked at the cards in his hand and was in a dilemma.

He had just played the Warrior card carefully, intending to suppress the opponent's Thief card, but was countered by the Nightmare card.

Damn it! How can a warrior be suppressed by a nightmare?

You see, I'm a warrior. Have I ever been suppressed by a nightmare?!

How can he counter the Nightmare card? The only card that can counter the Nightmare is the Nightmare Lord card, and he does have one, so he should play it.

Just as Stank was about to play the Nightmare Lord card in his hand, Aesop's extremely calm voice sounded behind him: "Pass."

Stank was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Aesop: "Pass?"

"Yes." Aesop nodded and repeated, "Yes."

Should I pass at this time? If I do, the opponent will definitely play a bunch of cards, and then I might be killed directly!

Do you know how to play cards?

Seeing that Stank was a little hesitant, Aesop said lightly, "But that's okay, then you can wait for the bullfight."

This one sentence made Stank's body tremble unconsciously.

Damn it, now that he had already handed the sword to Aesop, he couldn't regret it now. He could only grit his teeth and say to Lily, "Pass!"

"Oh?" Lily raised an eyebrow, seeming quite surprised by Stank's choice. "You dare to pass this? Very good, then... a spirit card."

Ah, the Elf card, I can use Goblins to suppress it.

Just as Stank was about to play his card, Aesop's voice rang out again, "I'm sorry."

Stank: “……?”

And he doesn’t want it? !

Stank looked back at Aesop, but Aesop still stared at him with those extremely calm eyes, as if saying "Just do it yourself". There was no way, Stank could only grit his teeth and say "I can't accept it" again!

Next, no matter what cards Lily played, Stank's response was "pass", "I can't accept it", "You played your cards very well".

Not only Stank, but the same was true on Jer's side. The two of them kept playing cards, and finally Lily only had two cards left, while the elf dealer on the other side only had three cards left.

Stank and Jer here had bitten their lips until they bled, and their eyes were full of bloodshot. It was obvious that they were not far from going crazy.

"Hahaha, have you given up resistance?" Lily laughed as she played her second-to-last card. "Here, the Nightmare Lord card. I know you have a Nightmare Lord out there, but it's useless. I'm the Grand Lord. Hehehe, I only have one card left."

Is there only one card left?

Stank felt a little dazed. He lowered his head and looked at his cards... what a damn hand.

"I counted for you, there are still seventeen cards." Lily said with a smile, "With seventeen cards, you can't kill me in one second? Oh, forget about killing me in one second, you can't even get past my Incubus Overlord."

Indeed, the Incubus Lord is the biggest card, able to suppress all incubi, the opposite sex, and even the same sex. It has an absolute advantage.

I didn’t expect that her second to last picture would include the Nightmare Lord.

Her cards are... too big.

Stank sat dejectedly in his chair, ready to throw all his cards away.

Lost, already lost.

There's no other way, I'll just have to go to the bullfighting...

At this moment, Aesop suddenly stretched out his hand, picked up a card from his messy cards, and threw it on the table.

"The Weak Goblin Card." Aesop calmly read out the title of this card.

Weak Goblin card?

Everyone was stunned, including Lily, but she was only stunned for a moment, and then quickly laughed: "Sir, what do you want to do by playing the smallest card at this time? I am the Lord of the Nightmares..."

Lily was halfway through her words when something suddenly rang out, and she froze.

"I've known for a long time that you have the Overlord of Nightmares in your hand, so I haven't played a card yet," Aesop said. "It's all for this moment. The weak Goblin is indeed the smallest of all the cards, but he can indeed eat the Overlord of Nightmares."

"Because of the weak goblins..."

"You can be a man."

302 The Last Trump

Everyone was stunned.

Aesop actually used the smallest card in the "Adventure Cards" to crush the largest card?!

Stank was also confused, and then lowered his voice to ask Jer, "Is there such a rule in the Adventure card? Is Aesop just talking nonsense?"

Jer was also a little stunned, but he quickly came to his senses after Stank's questioning, shaking his head repeatedly: "No... It seems that there is indeed such a rule in the Adventure card, but few people use it. But since you, Stank, don't know it, how did Aesop know it? Have you played Adventure cards before?"

"Hmm, me?" Aesop saw everyone was looking at him, so he pulled out a thick book titled "Risk Card Rules and Allusions" from somewhere. "Isn't this the book for this casino? I took a quick glance at it while you were playing cards just now, and I knew it."

This was just... a quick glance?!

No one at the table knew what to say.

As mentioned before, the Adventure deck is a complex game with 108 cards representing different races and identities. The cards don't just have simple size relationships; they also have restraint relationships. These restraint relationships aren't just groundless; they have historical allusions.

For example, the famous warrior and war hero Olair was defeated by an ordinary purebred nightmare. When his tribe found him, his calf was so thin that it could be tied into a bow.

This is why the rule that Warrior cards can be eaten by Dream Demon cards exists.

But there are so many rules and allusions. Everyone is just playing cards, so they only remember those that are often used. Some card effects that are difficult to trigger and use are not remembered very clearly.

For example, the rule that Aesop is using now, using weak goblins to kill the Nightmare Lord, is little known.

There are many reasons for this. Just like the warrior mentioned earlier, the reason why the Dream Lord was counter-killed by the goblins was because it happened in history.

At that time, the aloof and arrogant Lord of Nightmares was determined to conquer all creatures in the world with his sword, even his own kind, in order to become the most powerful and perfect being in the world.

And he did indeed defeat almost all races, and made countless alien races kneel before his great sword.

Until one day, he met a weak goblin.
