Chapter 39: Chu King of Hell Joins the Gamble
The scene atop Dingjun Mountain had become chaotic, with news of the Dream Clan spreading like wildfire!
Meng Luo quickly made a decisive move, leading the clan's experts down the mountain to rush back home overnight and prepare a strategy. Along the way, she was so furious she ground her teeth and cursed continuously!
“Chu Yang! Ji Mo! Rocky Luo! Dong Wushang! Hello, hello! I will remember you all!” Meng Luo gritted her teeth, “You’ve ruined my big plans, and in this life and the next, we will not rest until one of us is dead!”
She increasingly felt that Rocky Luo and Chu Yang were both major disasters. One was an unreasonable robber, while the other was even more sinister...
At the top of Dingjun Mountain, where the gambling took place, it was becoming increasingly lively.
The sounds of drums and gongs echoed repeatedly!
“Attention, attention! Young Master Gao Sheng has arrived! Young Master Gao is now at the peak of second tier throne, accompanied by ten throne experts from the Gao family.”
“Attention, attention! Young Master Li Xiong Tu from the Li family has arrived! Young Master Li is currently the first heir of the Li family! His arrival signifies the Li family's full support for Young Master Gao Sheng!”
“Attention, attention! Young Master Tu Qianhao from the Tu family has arrived; Young Master Tu is at the peak of second tier throne; in this battle, his odds of winning are very high. Furthermore, Young Master Tu has indicated he is prepared to allow another high-ranking throne from the Tu family to participate in this battle…”
“Attention, attention…”
At first, Chu Yang didn’t think much of it, but later, as he saw more and more gamblers joining in, it was a sea of people, leaving him dumbfounded.
“Is this a gambling event? I’m impressed… it’s like the whole nation is gambling!” Chu Yang was shocked to see many ninth rank throne experts also waving their silver notes to participate.
“This is quite normal,” Dong Wushang remarked nonchalantly, “After all, what are we working hard for in the Three Days? One is power, the second is strength, and the third is influence; however, to have these, you must first have financial resources!”
“Usually, people risk their lives searching for rare herbs, doing business, or fighting spirit beasts to exchange the skins and cores of spirit beasts they can’t use for money. That is to support their daily needs. Otherwise, they resort to robbery; that silver is drenched in blood and filled with danger.”
“But a gambling event is different; risking your neck for a big score can earn you several thousand to tens of thousands of silver. However, if you are lucky in a gamble, you can turn ten thousand into twenty thousand with no effort at all! Maybe even forty thousand! Tell me... how safe and fast is that?”
Dong Wushang sighed, “That’s why people in the Three Days are particularly enthusiastic about gambling. Especially with the four major families hosting the event, there’s absolutely no risk! How could they not take this opportunity to try their luck?”
Chu Yang snorted, “But what if luck doesn’t favor you?”
“If luck doesn’t favor you, just go out and work hard to earn silver; if you can’t earn it, you die. There’s nothing to worry about.” Dong Wushang spoke lightly, “This is just the nature of this environment. The so-called fairness and reasoning simply do not exist in the Three Days. The so-called compassion and forgiveness are even more absurd; as for justice and evil… that’s just nonsense.”
“Tu Qianhao and Li Xiong Tu came to gamble too.” Dong Wushang glanced over there dismissively, “These two bastards! This time, I want to face Tu Qianhao; Boss, what do you think if I slaughter Tu Qianhao… how about it?”
Chu Yang was startled, “Slaughter him?”
That guy was one of the future twelve influential figures, and Dong Wushang wanted to kill him?
“Tu Qianhao’s appearance this time is for Gu Duxing! But Old Gu Er was injured a while back... although it won't have too much impact on his strength, facing Tu Qianhao doesn't give him much of a chance. That’s also why Ji Mo’s winning odds are so low.”
