The heroine was created with cards - Take a day off
Of course Tang Xu and Long Zai didn’t know what the secret code was.
But Tang Xu knew in his heart that this should be a sentry of the Toad Clan. If he and Long Zai couldn’t answer the code, the other party wouldn’t open the door, so their only option was to force their way in.
Of course, it would not be difficult for the dragon cub to break in forcefully, but if he broke in directly as soon as he arrived at someone else’s property, and the person in charge of the toad clan found out about it, it could only be said to be harmful rather than helpful for the subsequent contact with him through borrowing copper coins.
“We’re here for a visit, we’re from the Dog Clan.”
Tang Xu was the first to respond loudly, directly classifying himself as a member of the dog clan led by the dragon cub.
After all, in the world of monsters, although there were dragon cubs around, Tang Xu didn’t have to worry about his own life, but if the other party heard that humans were coming, they probably wouldn’t open the door.
“From the Dog Clan? What’s the matter?”
The questions inside were much sharper than before, and even if they heard that they were members of the dog tribe, the people inside still looked nonchalant.
Tang Xu felt that the dragon cub could bear it, but he couldn’t bear it. No matter what the dragon cub’s status was, how could he have time to waste his time here with you, a toad looking after the door?
But it was impossible for him to tell him about the money he wanted to borrow here, because they would definitely refuse on the spot, and by then they wouldn’t even be able to get in.
The dragon cub stared at Tang Xu as if watching the excitement, waiting for his next move.
Seeing that Tang Xu was at his wits end, he took out a small iron ball from his pocket and threw it directly into the glowing door.
Even though the door was closed, the little iron ball went right through as if it was spiritual.
From beginning to end, Long Zai didn’t say a word, and Tang Xu didn’t understand what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
After about ten minutes, the gorgeous door in front of Tang Xu and Long Zai opened, and Tang Xu also saw the people inside.
“Please, both of you.”
In Tang Xu’s expectation, when the door opened, he might see a monster with a toad’s head and a human body. At that time, he would have to control his emotions and prevent himself from acting strangely due to panic.
But the guide looked no different from ordinary people. Whether it was appearance or clothing, he looked like a modern person.
Tang Xu is currently walking in the courtyard. There are rockeries and ponds in the courtyard, there are rattan chairs and mahogany tables, and there are green vines climbing all over the walls, but there is no one else.
Tang Xu and Long Zai followed the leader and kept walking forward. Suddenly they felt that the golden light was shining brightly in front of them, and a palace appeared out of thin air in front of them. It formed a sharp contrast with the unique courtyard scenery before, giving people a strong sense of fragmentation. .
The door was open, and the guide led Tang Xu and Long Zai in.
Twenty meters away from the entrance is a bright red carpet, with red roses scattered on the ground.
There were two rows of figures standing on the left and right, men on the left and women on the right. The hall exuded the smell of money, which even made Tang Xu feel that the palace was made of gold and was priceless.
However, because it was within the barrier, Tang Xu also knew that this golden palace could not exist in real life, otherwise it would have been reported on the news.
At the end of the two rows of human walls, three middle-aged men were looking at Tang Chu and Long Zai with smiles.
“The unknown dog king of Shen City is here. The three of us are far away from the welcome, but we still hope to atone for our sins…”
The leading man was short, wearing brown clothes, with a smile on his face, and looked very kind.
The two men next to him were about the same height as him, wearing gray and black clothes respectively. They both looked smart and capable.
The black and white hair of the dragon cub is very obvious. He looks like a young man, much younger than the three middle-aged people in front of him.
Even so, the expression of the dragon cub did not change much.
“Um.”
The dragon cub responded with an attitude that made Tang Xu on the side feel awkward, as if this was the dragon cub’s dog clan.
The reaction of the dragon cub was seen by the three people in front of him. Although the smile on his face did not diminish, he felt a little more wary in his heart.
In fact, the various monster clans have very little contact with each other, and everyone basically lives their own lives. Unless something big happens within the clan, friends from other monster clans need to come to support them, so that different monsters can have different relationships. Opportunities come together.
So even though the three of them were smiling, they had already made the most dangerous plans in their hearts.
“My name is Bu Nian. The one in gray is my second brother Bu Chu, and the one in black is my third brother Bu Xin. The dog king of Shen City is famous, and the three of us have known about it for a long time. I don’t know. Why do you come to our Toad tribe this time? Also, the little brother next to you should be a human.”
Bu Nian smiled and rolled his eyes, as if he had three thousand ideas.
Long Zai did not introduce himself and even ignored Tang Xu’s existence.
“We want to borrow the Toad Clan’s copper coins.”
Long Zai’s straight-to-the-point reply made Tang Xu feel chilled.
If we were to talk like this today, what good results could there be?
Sure enough, as soon as Long Zai finished speaking, Bu Nian’s smile in front of him became stiff.
“Does the Dog King know that the copper coin guide is the most precious treasure of our Toad clan and plays a vital role in our Toad clan?”
“Know.”
The dragon cub answered in a very calm tone, and his expressionless expression was indeed very easy to make people angry.
But Bu Nian had seen strong winds and waves. Even though Long Zai’s attitude really made people want to get angry, he still explained to Long Zai the importance of copper coins to the Toad Clan.
“People in our toad tribe don’t like to practice spiritual power. Those who can become monsters in the tribe are all selected to have superior spiritual power. We use copper coins to attract the few to become more, and sacrifice other toads to let the better toads become monsters.”
Tang Xu on the side understood it.
This means that the monsters of the Toad tribe do not rely on their own cultivation of spiritual power, but rely entirely on copper coins to attract the blood of their teammates. They gather the spiritual power of many toads into one high-quality toad, and in this form of gathering a small number into a large number, it becomes a monster. .
When Tang Xu thought this way, he felt a little sympathy for the victims.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when he didn’t have to interrupt, Tang Xu looked around and found that there were many card tables in the palace, which were completely incompatible with the interior of this magnificent palace.
Sure enough, is it true that these toads like to gamble…
After Bu Nian finished speaking, he paused for a moment, looked at the dragon cub meaningfully, and then spoke again.
“Even so, does the Dog King want to borrow copper coins?”
“Um.”
The dragon cub answered quickly and without hesitation.
“Then my three brothers can only say sorry and obey your orders.”
Bu Nian’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the subtle changes in his expression made the two brothers beside him immediately understand.
The two rows of men and women stretched out their arms and made an invitation gesture at the same time, which was regarded as an order to expel Long Zai and Tang Xi.
“Wait a minute, wait a minute, Uncle Bu Nian, right? We have something to discuss. We borrowed the copper coins to save my girlfriend. If you have any conditions, just make them. We will try our best to do what we can… “
Tang Xu had a smile on his face, but he didn’t say the last sentence.
If you can’t do it, you can only grab it openly.
The three of them, Bu Nian and others, have been monsters who have been walking around for many years. Although they are not very capable, due to their passion for gambling, their ability to observe people’s emotions has reached its peak over the years.
Everyone in the demon clan in Shen City knows about Long Zai’s ability. He dares to go to other people’s demon clan alone, and he also directly stated that he wants to borrow other people’s treasures, so be careful.
“The copper coin guide is the most precious treasure in our clan. It takes many years for the Toad clan to condense one in a place. The fortune of the clan and the construction of the clan all depend on it. It’s not that we can’t trust the Dog King, but once this object is lent, I’m afraid it will hurt someone. The foundation of our toad clan…”
Bu Nian spoke sincerely, while Bu Chu and Bu Xin beside him were as mute and did not say a word during the whole process. Bu Nian was like their spokesperson.
“You can make conditions, but we will be satisfied if we can satisfy you. And we are just borrowing it for a while, and we can return it to the Toad Clan soon. At worst, we can mortgage some things with you. When we run out of copper coins, we Come and collect the things we pledged.”
Tang Xu didn’t know what he was talking about. He didn’t have any treasure worth mortgaging. The previous Infinite Soul Summoning Jade had already been returned to the underworld.
He was just trying to stall to prevent the three toad monsters in front of him from driving him and the dragon cub away.
“We, the Toad Clan, have always been fond of gambling. We have won countless gold, silver and jewels from various places over the years. To be honest, we really don’t care about what you two mortgaged here. No matter what it is, it is impossible for us. More important than a copper coin.”
Bu Nian had finally finished talking and there was nothing left to talk about.
He stretched out his arms slightly, which together with the two human walls behind Tang Xu and Long Zai made it clear that he was expelling the guests.
Tang Xu’s throat rolled and he wanted to say something, but he noticed that all the smiles on the faces of the three Bu brothers in front of him disappeared.
Obviously, the scene talk should end here.
Tang Xu clenched his fists. The situation was developing as he expected, but it was even worse.
It sucks that the other person doesn’t even want to talk to them.
If Qin Zheng’s body was not suitable for moving now and he could only stay at home to avoid the harm caused by the more intense spiritual impact in his body, he and Long Zai would have just brought Qin Zheng here and used copper coins to heal him before leaving. How could there be so much trouble?
Now people obviously don’t want to borrow, and they can’t leave without getting the copper coins. The final result is obvious.
The dragon cub didn’t say anything, his expression was indifferent, and there was no emotion at all on his handsome face.
When the black and white hair on his head moved without wind, the majestic spiritual power in his body also overflowed and surrounded him, and the flow of spiritual power in the air changed as a result.
When the three Bu brothers saw this, their expressions looked extremely cold. At the same time, they spread their spiritual power out of their bodies, forming a protective shield around their bodies.
The two human walls of Toad men and women facing each other behind Tang Xu and Long Zai also had the same reaction at this time.
The change in the flow of spiritual power in the air was noticed by Tang Xu. Although he could not use spiritual power easily, he was extremely sensitive to the flow of spiritual power and knew what might happen next.
“Call your ancestors out. Just the three of you plus these clansmen are no match for me.”
Long Zai’s tone was very calm, but the words in his mouth made the three Bu brothers itch with hatred.
“We respect you as the Dog King of Shen City, but we didn’t expect you to want to take it by force!”
Bu Nian’s voice became sharper, and when his eyes widened, Tang Xu could indeed see the shadow of a toad on his body.
“I didn’t want to take anything by force. I took the copper coin away and used it and returned it immediately. Human life is at stake, so I had no choice but to do it.”
The dragon cub raised his palm slightly, and with such a simple movement, the entire golden palace seemed to be shaken, instantly trembling.
“How dare you!”
Bu Nian’s cheeks turned red with anger. He had long heard the rumor that the dragon cub could fight fourteen demon kings and hundreds of demons undefeated by himself. When he saw it today, even if the dragon cub only made a slight move, he was already undefeated. This is their limit.
“Lend us the copper coin, and I will return it in person the next day.”
The dragon cub spoke again, as if giving an ultimatum.
“If you don’t borrow it, you don’t borrow it!”
Bu Nian gritted his teeth. Although he knew in his heart that they could not defeat the dragon cub, the copper coin guide was extremely important to the Toad Clan, and he had to keep it even at the risk of his life. After all, as long as the copper coin guide was there, he could copy another one in a short time. It is not difficult for the Toad Clan.
“okay.”
Long Zai responded, but just when he was about to take action, Tang Xu stretched out his hand to stop him.
“Everyone, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully and try not to do anything if you can. The three uncles of the Toad Clan don’t want such a beautiful golden palace to be turned into ruins just because of this thing, right?”
Seeing Tang Xu speak, Long Zai glanced at the young man with a warm smile beside him, and instantly withdrew the spiritual power spreading out of his body.
Seeing that the dragon cub had stopped, the three Bu brothers also lowered their defensive stance.
In fact, the spiritual shield they use for defense is extremely crude. After all, they are not very capable. In the eyes of the dragon cub, they are like bubbles that burst at the touch of a touch.
The three Bu brothers didn’t know Tang Xu’s identity, they only knew that he was a human being, but the dragon cub could listen to him, which made them pay a lot of attention to Tang Xu.
“Uncles, I heard that the Toads are good at gambling, so we might as well give it a try. If I win, you can lend us the copper coins, okay? At least it won’t hurt your friendship, and it’s also the way you like.”
Tang Xu’s suggestion instantly intrigued the three Bu brothers. People in the Toad Clan were the best gamblers, even to the point of addiction.
“Okay, what’s the bet?”
Bu Nian agreed instantly, while Tang Xu had a look of astonishment on his face.
Is it solved so easily?
Isn’t the copper coin guide the treasure of these guys? Isn’t it something that we must protect even if we lose our lives?
The dangers of gambling are evident…
Tang Chu didn’t know how to gamble. He had only seen similar scenes in old Hong Kong movies.
Since he was a layman, Tang Xu decided to choose the simplest way.
Not talking about skills, just luck.
“Each of us draws a playing card and compares the size.”
“OK.”
The smile returned to Bu Nian’s face, and Tang Xu’s expression was very helpless. How much these toad monsters like to bet with others…
Soon Bu Nian had someone carry a card table over, and it could be said that the atmosphere was already in place.
Tang Xu didn’t expect that drawing a card to compete could be so grand. He just felt speechless.
“Come on, let’s get started.”
Bu Nian rubbed his palms and was eager to try. Tang Xu glanced at the playing cards on the table, but did not start drawing cards immediately.
“If I win, the Toad Clan will lend us the copper coin guide. If I lose, we promise not to use force to borrow the copper coin guide.”
Gambling is a two-way street, so Tang Xu naturally has to place a bet as well. This is the rule.
“It doesn’t matter, you can’t win anyway.”
There was a smile on Bu Nian’s face. He put his palms on the card table and raised his head to look at Tang Xu, his eyes full of pride and disdain.
When it comes to fighting, their Toad Clan may be ranked at the bottom among all the Monster Clan.
But when it comes to gambling, they really haven’t been afraid of others.
