Chapter 378: Wager (Subscription Requested)
What the code is, of course Tang Xi and the dragon cub don't know. But Tang Qiu knew in his heart that this should be an existence like a toad sentry, if he and the dragon cub couldn't answer the code, the other party wouldn't open the door, then the only option they had left was to break through.
Of course, it is difficult for the dragon cub to break in, but as soon as he arrived at the boundary of other people's land, he broke into the door directly, and was known by the steward of the toad clan, which can only be said to be harmful and useless for the contact caused by borrowing copper coins later.
"We're here to visit, we're from the canine clan." Tang Zhao was the first to speak and responded, directly subsuming himself into one of the canine clans led by the dragon cub.
After all, in the realm of monsters, although there are dragon cubs, Tang Zhao doesn't have to worry about the safety of his life, but if the other party hears that a human is coming, it is estimated that he will not open the door.
"Canine's? What's the matter? The interrogation inside was much sharper than Fang Cai, and even if they heard that they were from the dog clan, the people inside still looked like they didn't care.
Tang Yu felt that the dragon cub could bear it, but he couldn't bear it, what status did the dragon cub have, how could he have time to waste time with you as a janitor toad here.
But it was impossible for him to tell him what he wanted to borrow copper coins to induce here, because they would definitely refuse on the spot, and they would not even be able to enter the door at that time.
The dragon cub stared at Tang Zhao as if he was watching the excitement from the sidelines, waiting for his next move. Seeing that Tang Qiu was out of options, he took out a small iron ball from his pocket and threw it directly into the glowing gate.
Although the door was closed, the small iron ball pierced directly through it as if it were spiritual. From beginning to end, the dragon cub didn't say a word, and Tang Zhao didn't understand what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
After about ten minutes, the gorgeous gate in front of Tang Xuan and the dragon cub opened, and Tang Zhao also saw the people inside.
"Please, both." In Tang Qiu's expectation, after the door was opened, he would see a monster with a toad's head and a human body, and at that time he would have to control his emotions and not let himself show something strange because of panic.
But the leader looked no different from ordinary people, both in appearance and clothing, he was dressed as a modern person.
Tang Zhao was now pacing in the courtyard, which had rockeries and ponds, rattan chairs and mahogany tables, green vines climbing all over the walls, but no one else.
Tang Xi and the dragon cub followed the leader and walked forward, and suddenly felt that the golden light in front of them was shining, and a palace appeared in front of them out of thin air, which formed a sharp contrast with the previous chic courtyard scenery, giving people a strong sense of separation.
The door was open, and the leader walked in with Tang Zhao and the dragon cub. Twenty meters from the entrance, there is a bright red carpet and red roses scattered on the ground.
There are two rows of figures standing on the left and right, men on the left and women on the right, and the hall exudes the smell of money everywhere, which even makes Tang Zhao feel that this palace is made of gold, which can be described as priceless.
However, because it was in the enchantment, Tang Zhao also knew that this golden palace could not exist in real life, otherwise it would have been reported in the news a long time ago.
At the end of the two rows of human walls, three middle-aged men were looking at Tang Qiu and the dragon cub with a smile.
"The unknown Shencheng Dog King is coming, the three of us guys are not welcome, and we still hope to atone for our sins......" The man led by him was not tall, wearing a brown dress, with a smile on his face, and he looked very kind.
The two men next to him were about his height, dressed in gray and black, and looked very smart and capable.
The dragon cub's black and white hair was very obvious, and his appearance looked like a young man, much younger than the three middle-aged people in front of him.
Even so, the cub's expression did not change.
"Hmm." The dragon cub responded, and his attitude made Tang Yu on the side feel very dragged, as if this was the dragon cub's dog clan.
The dragon cub's reaction was seen by the three people in front of him, and although the smile on his face was not reduced, he was a little more vigilant in his heart.
In fact, the various demon clans have little contact with each other, and everyone is basically in their own way, unless something big happens in the clan, and friends from other demon clans need to come to cheer, so that different monsters will have the opportunity to get together.
So despite the smiles on the faces of the three of them, they were already prepared for the most dangerous things in their hearts.
"The old man's name is Bu Nian, this gray is my second brother Bu Chu, and this black is my third brother Bu Xin. The Shencheng Dog King is famous, and the three of us have known it for a long time. I don't know what you are doing when you come to my Toad clan this time? Also, the little brother next to you should be a human. Bu Nian smiled, his eyes rolled, as if he had three thousand ideas.
The dragon cub didn't deliberately introduce himself, and even ignored Tang Xuan's existence.
"We want to borrow the copper coins of the Toad Clan." The dragon cub's straightforward way of replying made Tang Qiu's heart cold.
If you want to talk like this on this day, what other good results can you have? Sure enough, as soon as the dragon cub's voice fell, the smile of Bu Nian in front of him became stiff.
"Can the Dog King know that the copper coin is the treasure of my toad clan, and it plays a vital role in my toad clan?"
"Yes." The cub's tone of reply was very calm, and his unchanging face was indeed very easy to get angry.
But Bu Nian had seen strong winds and waves, even if the attitude of the dragon cub really made people want to get angry, he still opened his mouth to explain to the dragon cub the importance of the copper coin to the toad clan.
"The people in my Toad clan don't like to cultivate spiritual power, and those who can become monsters in the clan all choose those with superior spiritual power, use copper coins to attract less into more, sacrifice other toads, and make better toads become monsters." Tang Yu on the side understood it.
It means that the monsters of the toad clan do not rely on their own spiritual power, but rely on copper coins to attract the blood of their teammates, and gather the spiritual power of many toads into a high-grade toad, and make it a monster in this form of gathering small and many.
When Tang Yu thought about it, he felt a little sympathetic to those victims. Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't have to interject, Tang Zhao looked around and found that there were many card tables in the palace, which did not match the interior of this magnificent palace at all.
Sure enough, is it true that these toads like to gamble...... After Bu Nian finished speaking, his tone paused slightly, and he glanced at the dragon cub meaningfully before he spoke again.
"Even so, does the dog king want to borrow copper coins?
“
"Hmm." The dragon cub's answer was quick and without hesitation.
"Then my three brothers can only say one word to you, forgive me." Bu Nian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the subtle changes in his expression made the two brothers on the side immediately understand.
The two rows of men and women spread their arms at the same time and made a gesture of please, which was regarded as an eviction order to the dragon cub and Tang Xuan.
"Wait, wait, Uncle Bu Nian, right? Let's have something to discuss, we borrowed copper coins to save my girlfriend, if you have any conditions, you can mention it, and we will try to do what we can......" Tang Zhao smiled all over his face, but he didn't say the latter sentence.
If you can't do it, you can only rob it openly. Bu Nian and the three of them are monsters who have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, although their skills are not great, but because they are keen on gambling, their ability to observe words and emotions over the years can be said to have reached the extreme.
The dragon cub's ability is known to all the demon clans in Shencheng, he dares to go to other people's demon clans single-handedly, and directly explains that he wants to borrow other people's treasures, so he must be wary.
"The copper coin is the treasure of my clan, and it takes many years for a place to condense one in the Toad Clan, and the luck of the clan and the construction of the clan all depend on it, not that we can't trust the Dog King, but once this object is lent, I am afraid it will hurt the foundation of our Toad Clan......" Bu Nian spoke earnestly, and Bu Chu and Bu Xin beside him were like dumb people, and they never said a word throughout the whole process, Bu Nian was like their spokesperson.
"If you ask for the conditions, we will meet your needs. And we're just borrowing it, and we'll be able to return it to the toad clan soon. It's a big deal, we can mortgage something on your side, and when we run out of copper coins, we'll come back to take what we have mortgaged. Tang Zhao didn't know what he was talking about, how could he have any treasure worth mortgaging in his hand, and the previous Infernal Spirit Jade had also been returned to the underworld.
He was just trying to drag it out to avoid letting the three toad monsters in front of him drive him and the dragon cub away directly.
"I, the Toad, have always been good gamblers, and over the years have won countless gold, silver, and jewels from all over the place, and to be honest, we really don't care about what the two of us have mortgaged to us, and whatever it is, it can't be more important to us than the copper coin." Bu Nian is dead to death, and there is no need to talk about it.
He stretched out his arms slightly, and together with the two human walls behind Tang Xi and the dragon cub, he made it clear that he wanted to chase away customers.
Tang Qiu's throat rolled, and he wanted to say something, but he noticed that the smiles on the faces of the three Bu brothers in front of him had all disappeared.
Obviously, this is the end of the scene. Tang clenched his fists, and the development of the situation was as he expected, but it was even worse.
The other party doesn't even want to talk to them, which is really bad. If it weren't for Qin Zheng's current body not being able to move, he could only stay at home to avoid any harm caused by the more violent spiritual impact in his body, he and the dragon cub directly 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 if they can't get copper coins, and the final result is obvious.
The dragon cub didn't say anything, his expression was indifferent, and there was no emotion on his handsome face. When the black and white hair on the top of his head was windless, the majestic spiritual power in his body also overflowed around his body, and the flow of spiritual power in the air changed as a result.
Seeing this, the three Bu brothers' faces all looked extremely cold, and at the same time, the spiritual power in their bodies spread out, forming a protective shield around their bodies.
The two opposing walls of toad men and women behind Tang Xi and the dragon cub also made the same reaction at this time.
The change in the flow of spiritual power in the air was noticed by Tang Yu, although he could not use spiritual power easily, he was extremely sensitive to the flow of spiritual power, and he also knew what might happen next.
"Call out your ancestors, just the three of you plus these clansmen are not my opponents." The dragon cub's tone was very calm, but the words in his mouth made the three Bu brothers itch with hatred.
"I respect you as the King of Dogs in Shencheng, but you want to take it by force!" Bu Nian's timbre became sharp, and when his eyes widened, Tang Xi did see the shadow of a toad from his person.
"I didn't want to take it by force, I took the copper coin away and returned it as soon as I used it. Human life is at stake, and I have 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, and it instantly fell into trembling.
"How dare you!" Bu Nian's cheeks flushed with anger, he had already heard the rumor that the dragon cub was undefeated by fighting the fourteen demon kings and hundreds of demons alone, and when he saw it today, even if the dragon cub only made a slight move, it was already their limit.
"Lend us the copper coins, and I will return them the next day." The dragon cub spoke again, as if given an ultimatum.
"If you don't borrow, you don't borrow!" Bu Nian gritted his teeth, although he also knew in his heart that they couldn't beat the dragon cubs, but the copper coin was extremely important to the Toad Clan, even if he risked his life, he had to keep it, after all, as long as the copper coin was there, it was not difficult to replicate another Toad Clan in a short period of time.
"yes, okay." The dragon cub responded, and just as he was about to make a real move, Tang Zhao on the side stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Everyone, if you have something to say, don't do it as much as possible, the three uncles of the Toad Clan don't want such a good golden palace to become ruins because of this matter, right?" Seeing Tang Qi speak, the dragon cub glanced at the young man with a warm smile on his face, and instantly withdrew the spiritual power that spread out of his body.
Seeing that the dragon cub had stopped, the three Bu brothers also took off their defensive posture. In fact, the spiritual power shield they used as defense was extremely rudimentary, after all, they were not very capable, and in the eyes of the dragon cubs, they were like bubbles, bursting at the touch of a button.
The three Bu brothers didn't know Tang Zhao's identity, they only knew that he was a human being, but the dragon cub could listen to him, which made them inevitably pay a lot attention to Tang Zhao.
"Three uncles, I heard that the Toad clan is good at gambling, we might as well gamble, if I win, you can lend us copper coins, okay? At the very least, it doesn't hurt your peace, and it's the way you like it. Tang Qiu's proposal instantly made the three Bu brothers interested, the best bet among the people of the Toad Clan, and even reached the level of addiction.
"Okay, bet on what?" Bu Nian agreed instantly, but Tang Yu was stunned. It's so easy to solve?
Isn't the copper coin lead the treasure of these guys, isn't it something that you have to protect even if you lose your life? The dangers of gambling can be seen...... Where would Tang Zhao gamble, he has only seen similar scenes in old Hong Kong movies.
Since he was a layman, Tang Yu decided to choose the easiest way. Don't talk about skill, just luck.
"Each of us draws a playing card, and we compare the size."
"Okay." Bu Nian's face returned to a smile, Tang Qiu's expression was very helpless, how much do these toad monsters like to gamble with others...... Soon Bu Nian asked people to bring over a card table, and it could be said that the atmosphere was in place.
Tang Zhao didn't expect that drawing cards could be so grand compared to the size, he only felt speechless.
"Come on, let's get started." Bu Nian rubbed his palms and was eager to try, Tang Qian glanced at the playing cards on the table, but did not immediately start drawing cards.
"If I win, the Toad will have to lend us the copper coins. If I lose, we promise not to forcibly borrow copper coins by force. "Gambling is a two-way street, and Tang Zhao naturally has to place bets here, this is the rule.
"It doesn't matter, you can't win anyway." Bu Nian had a smile on his face, he put his palms on the card table, and when he raised his head to look at Tang Xuan, his eyes were full of pride and disdain.
When it comes to fighting, their Toad Clan may have to rank at the bottom of all the demon clans. But when it comes to gambling, they really haven't been afraid of others.
