Valoran's waterways have been around for a long time, but the demon Tamkenchi has a much older history.

According to the records, this old demon has existed since the beginning of the world.

It gambles like a gamble, from the muddy tent stalls of the Python River Valley, through the salty gambling halls of Bilgewater, to the gilded tables of Piltover and Zaun.

But it seems to prefer to lure others into gambling rather than gambling itself.

You know, it's not just money that can be lost.

"That's right, it's me." Tamu let out a low laugh like the mud and sand stirring up at the bottom of the river. "Big sway, big yawn, two coats. I have many names, being best known in Bilgewater as Tamkench, but I would prefer people to call me the King of the River. ”

Planck silently lowered his pistol, and Tam said, "Since you know who I am, you should know that I have the power to help you out of this situation, why don't you consider my advice?" ”

"There is no such thing as a free lunch, and your help comes at a price." Planck said.

It was precisely because he knew that Tamu was not so kind, so he did not immediately agree, the person who made a deal with the demon never made money, and those legends about Tamu finally led to a truth, no matter how tempting its rhetoric is, you will be lost in its mouth.

"You're right again, the price you have to pay is just a small thing." The demon laughed, not minding Planck's wariness, "I'm actually a pretty good deal...... But you've got to be willing to make it up to me. ”

"What do you want from me?" Planck carefully weighed his words, noting whether there were any traps hidden in the other party's words, but he didn't expect Tamm to say the price straight to the point.

"An arm."

"Your appetite is too big!" Planck was furious.

This is different from the legend, the Tamu in the story is to use the benefits little by little to lure people to degenerate, and only need to pay a small price at the beginning, and the later the cost, the greater the cost.

It is said that on one day of evolution, it approached a struggling inventor in Phi City and gave her an idea that would be noticed by a wealthy family.

And all it asked for in return was a bundle of her hair, but now it came up and asked for an arm, which made Planck difficult to accept for a moment.

"Others want wealth, but what you want is to live, and the price is naturally greater. But compared to death, such a price is already small. If you don't want it, then I'll leave. The demon was still laughing, its mouth open for the size of the entire city, and its words left Planck speechless.

It is up to the old demon to decide what kind of plan to offer, and how he chooses to accept it or not.

Planck had no choice, and staying here would only lead to death. He asked, "How are you going to get me out?" ”

"If the world is a river," said Tamu, "then I am the king of this river, and there is no place I have not been to, and there is no place I cannot set foot again." If I can get in here, I can get out. ”

"I accept this deal, and if you can take me out, I'm willing to pay the price of an arm." To warn Tamm not to overstep, Planck reiterates the contents of a deal.

"Deal." Before he could say another word, Tamu opened his wide mouth and bit him.

Planck thinks that Tamm has repented and wants to ruin the deal and eat himself directly. Such an outcome was one of the endings he predicted, and for him there was no difference between dying in the mouth of an underwater monster and dying in the mouth of a water monster, it didn't matter.

But unexpectedly, this was just the way Tamu used to take him away from the belly of the sea beast.

After being swallowed by that big mouth, Planck felt like he had fallen into a murky river, and his head was dizzy as the rushing water washed him.

Outside, out of sight, the plank beneath Tam's feet created a vortex out of thin air, swirling its bloated body into it before disappearing into the chamber without a trace.

The underwater beast seemed to feel abnormal, and the stomach wall squirmed violently, and the huge pressure instantly crushed the wreckage of the Abyss.

Planck felt like he had been thrown into a drum filled with river water, and he spun around for an unknown amount of time, and when he was spit out by Tam, he found himself on a beach.

Beneath him was fine white sand, partially darkened by absorbing moisture from his body. The sound of the tide was heard in my ears, and a swift crab on the clean sea not far away quickly disappeared by kicking the water, as if frightened by his arrival. On the opposite side of the sea is a dense tropical jungle, a sight that is hard to see in Bilgewater, where the trees have been cut down to make way for the house.

Planck endured the spinning dizziness and got up and looked around again, and finally confirmed that the place where he was was on a small island in the Python Islands, north of Bilgewater, belonged to the Bajou people.

In general, the Bajou forbade the Bilgewater to enter their territory. But Planck is different, he has acquaintances here, so he is not very worried about being driven away.

And, at the moment, there is no one nearby but him. TV updates the fastest //

A fat, sticky claw grabbed him, and Planck turned his head to see that Tamm hadn't left yet, staring at him up close with his yellow, pupilless eyes, which made him a little worried.

"It's time to deliver on that promise." Tamu smiled gloomily, then suddenly attacked, grabbed his left arm and bit it down.

Caught off guard, Planck roared violently at the sharp pain of tearing his left arm, and he saw white bone slag looming at the fracture, and the torn muscles and blood vessels were exposed to the air, and blood was gushing out, staining the sand beneath his feet.

There was a clumping chewing sound in his ears, the sound of a demon's teeth crushing bones, and he clutched his arms and fell to his knees in pain, screaming incessantly.

The demon seemed to have to taste it before swallowing the flesh, and Planck couldn't help but vomit at the thought that his arm had gone into someone else's stomach.

"The Pirate King's arm? What a good appetizer. Tam laughed contentedly and patted his round belly.

Planck raised his head in pain, and from this angle, its face was obscured by the protruding belly, but this did not affect Planck's imagination of its evil smile at this time in his mind.

Looking at his empty left arm, Planck realized that he had finally paid for his life with an arm.

"When you're full, can you go?"
