1708 Blackmailing the King of Hell?
“I can agree to your request, but we’ll have to discuss the details of the plan.”
Tang Zhen didn’t directly agree to the dwarf cultivator’s request. After all, he didn’t know much about this aspect. Although the other party wouldn’t lie to him, it was better to be safe.
After hearing Tang Zhen nod his head in agreement, the dwarf cultivator quickly nodded his head in agreement. Then, he began to explain the specific operation process to Tang Zhen in detail.
In fact, there were similar places in the Holy Dragon battle zone and the fifth battle zone. However, there were no similar gambling places, because only the cultivators of the island of destiny had the astrolabe of disaster.
Hearing the dwarf cultivator mention the disaster astrolabe, Tang Zhen’s interest was piqued. He asked what it was. The dwarf cultivator didn’t hide anything and gave Tang Zhen a detailed introduction of the disaster astrolabe.
It turned out that the disaster astrolabe was a divine weapon left behind from the ancient times. It could cross the void to search for people with declining fate and predict the disaster that they would suffer, displaying the images of their surroundings.
No one knew who made it, nor did they know what these functions were for. They only knew that these functions were of little value, which made the astrolabe of disaster the most flashy but useless artifact.
This also led to the disaster astrolabe being ignored even though it was called a divine weapon. Ever since it was discovered, it was put aside.
The dwarf cultivator had also thought of using the astrolabe of disaster to place a bet. After careful consideration, he had spent all his fortune and finally bought the cheapest divine weapon on the island of destiny.
In the days that followed, with the gimmick of the divine artifact and the fact that this method was indeed very interesting, it attracted many participants.
The dwarf cultivator relied on his steady income and gradually became rich. He then spent money to buy this piece of land and expanded his business.
His strength being able to reach the 2nd level of the sector Lord realm was also due to his wealth and cultivation resources. It could be said that he had used money to obtain his cultivation.
Tang Zhen nodded as he listened to the dwarf cultivator’s explanation. He didn’t expect that there would be such a reason behind this.
by the way, from the simulation of the astrolabe of disaster, the experiences of these chosen ones are extremely dangerous. They are almost certain to die. If everyone bet to death in the first wave and they win, won’t you lose money? ”
Tang Zhen had thought about this question for a long time, but he ultimately did not have an answer. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally had to ask.
Upon hearing Tang Zhen’s doubt, the dwarf cultivator smiled and explained,”Sir, do you know that there is nothing absolute in this world? in a situation where death seems certain, there is a chance of survival.
Take today’s young man for example. Although it was extremely dangerous, he still managed to survive ten waves of disasters. If he didn’t die in a real disaster, there would be good fortune after.
Perhaps this is what you human cultivators mean by “to die and to live”?”
When he heard the dwarf cultivator mention “death and then life,” Tang Zhen’s heart couldn’t help but move as if he had thought of something.
It was just that this thought flashed by and he could not figure out anything. Therefore, Tang Zhen did not pay much attention to it.
“As for the bet you mentioned, in fact, even if the young man were to die, the guests would have won all the bets. However, because the odds were extremely low, we didn’t lose much.
In a situation where there are close to ten thousand guests, the situation you mentioned is even more unlikely to happen. This is the psychology of a gambler.”
At this point, the dwarf cultivator sighed, as for the bet on how many waves the young man could last, there are only a few people who won. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone like you who won a million gold coins.
Tang Zhen thought and laughed. He thought in his heart,”I am actually cheating. It’s just that you are unable to discover it.”
After chatting with the dwarf cultivator for a long time and discussing the details of their cooperation, the two of them reached an agreement.
Later, the dwarf cultivator would send people to the cracked territory to inspect and construct it. When everything was ready, they could start business directly.
With the protection of the Lord Tang Zhen, no one dared to have any crooked ideas. This was what the dwarf cultivator valued the most.
Tang Zhen did not need to pay anything and could just sit back and collect the dividends. This could be considered an unexpected joy of this trip.
……
After staying in the gambling house for half a day, Tang Zhen discovered that there was someone secretly peeking at him when he walked out.
He didn’t even need to guess to know that someone was definitely eyeing the money and wanted to have a wicked idea on him.
Tang Zhen coldly laughed in his heart as he continued to move forward. He completely ignored these people.
If this group of people had the guts, they could attack him as much as they wanted. Tang Zhen would definitely make them regret it for life.
In reality, he didn’t even put these people watching him in his eyes. The real enemies that he needed to be wary of were actually son of destiny who was connected to Hua Yue and the schemes of the strange man.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was all by himself while the other party was a local snake who was born and raised. Their forces were deeply intertwined and might suddenly attack at any time.
The destiny Island that had started to become peaceful was no less than a Dragon’s pool or a Tiger’s Den to Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen could be considered to be filled with courage for daring to barge into this place alone. Even if it was really filled with danger, he had to kill his way out and kill that strange man.
Tang Zhen walked along the streets of the city and finally arrived at the area outside the city.
It wasn’t appropriate to say it was outside the city, because the island of destiny was full of beautiful scenery. There were also many courtyards outside the city, scattered around the valleys and streams like villas.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that there was a scenery with every step.
It was just that in this beautiful landscape, there was a hidden killing intent, which really ruined the scenery.
“You’ve been following us for so long, don’t you find it troublesome?”
Tang Zhen stopped his footsteps and coldly asked without turning his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, a few people walked out from the surrounding bushes, all looking at him with unfriendly eyes.
“Since you’ve already discovered us, I’m sure you know what we’re here for.”
A cultivator with a gourd-like body looked at Tang Zhen. After rolling his large eyes and sizing him up, he said in an unwilling tone,”Since you’ve gained some benefits, we’re here to make you happy. You should at least show us some respect.”
Tang Zhen nodded. He sized up the residents of fate Island and discovered that there were even Lord cultivators among them.
A character with such strength actually dared to extort a sector Lord cultivator. One had to admit that there were many strange things happening on this Island of destiny.
“Tell me, how many do you want?”
After hearing Tang Zhen’s question, the gourd-like cultivator immediately replied, we won’t slander you. There’s a saying that we’ll split it in half every time we meet. You can just give us half.
Looking at his expression, it was as if this was a matter of course.
“Half?”
Tang Zhen revealed a smile that wasn’t a smile as he looked at the cultivator and asked,”Do you know how much money I got from the casino?”
hehe, how could we not know? otherwise, we wouldn’t have come to you.
The gourd-shaped cultivator glanced at Tang Zhen and continued to roll his two protruding eyes and said,”For things like money, you have to be alive to spend it. Otherwise, it’s just the root of trouble.
If you’re not willing to lose your money, you have to be prepared to lose your life.
I’m not trying to scare you, but you can ask around after this.
He said he’ll kill you tonight, so you won’t live to see tomorrow morning!”
When the gourd-shaped cultivator said this, he didn’t hide his threatening intent. At the same time, he sneered at Tang Zhen as if he had the latter in the palm of his hand.
