Chapter 437: Chapter 211: Being Cautious All One’s Life_2

They had square faces and full beards, wearing black sleeveless vests and black trousers, the legs of which narrowed at the ankles and reached just above their feet.

Before Chen Shi entered the door, two of them immediately stationed themselves at either side of the entrance, while the other two swiftly moved to the inside of the doorway, also guarding each side.

These four people each summoned their Nascent Souls, silently spreading their energy fields.

The two outside swept their gazes outward, whereas the two inside looked into the gambling house.

Another four people encircled Chen Shi in the middle and stepped forward into the gambling house.

Behind these eight, there also appeared spectral visions, as Chen Shi had died and been reborn with the ability to see through Spiritual Bodies. What he saw were eight enormous red millipedes, long-legged and sprawling atop their bodies,

covering their heads and lying along their bodies to the back, except the millipedes were so large that half of their bodies trailed on the ground.

As the Eight Great Vajra walked, the legs of these spectral millipedes that dragged on the ground also moved, following them.

However, the legs of the millipedes on the Eight Great Vajra tightly clung to their torsos, unmoved.

Calmly placing his bets regardless of winning or losing, Chen Shi kept an eye on Chen Shi’s figure through the corner of his eye. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Chen Shi shared the same spectral visions as the other casino owners, but his spirit was a big, fat, green-headed creature with stout black bristles that were sharp and pointy, resembling a caterpillar but magnitudes larger.

Its head was shiny green with a seam in the middle, its eyes enormous, filling most of its face with compound eyes that reflected hundreds of facets showing everything around.

Below its eyes were huge, saw-toothed jaws, bigger than a human head.

Its limbs were segmented; at the front end of each segment, two chubby little arms protruded on each side.

It had about thirty similar segments.

It lay behind Chen Shi, dressed in golden-threaded clothes, its chubby little arms sticking out from the sleeves, appearing quite comical.

"Don’t keep staring at him!"

The Mechanician in Chen Shi’s ear urgently warned him, "Chen Shi has an exceedingly sharp gaze, not a trace of movement can escape his eyes!"

Chen Shi whispered softly, "Why don’t I just go over and kill Chen Shi?"

Situ Wen said impatiently, "You kill him? How would you kill him? There are so many people here, and he’s surrounded by the Four Great Vajra. How would you commit murder? The Golden Core Field would kill everyone in this hall... Take your winnings and leave; don’t act like a novice."

Chen Shi quickly collected his winnings, heart pounding as he saw Chen Shi approaching, whispering, "He’s getting closer to me, almost within six feet! I feel like I could kill him with one move!"

Situ Wen exclaimed, "Just, just..."

He remembered that he was an Artisan of the Heavenly Court and Chen Shi the True King, the word almost escaping his lips, "True King, don’t be foolish! You’re still in the Golden Core Realm, it’s impossible to break through the Four Vajra’s defense and kill Chen Shi! Just wait a bit longer!"

Chen Shi offhandedly bet his newly won silver again as Chen Shi neared, stopping at each gambling table to check their profit situation.

He would speak softly to the casino owner or pat them on the shoulder, and if he saw a casino owner losing money, he would gesture to bring in a new operator.

Now Chen Shi was only one gambling table away!

He was now within eight feet!

With one surge from his thighs, Chen Shi could instantly close that distance!

Chen Shi’s hands trembled slightly, and as he looked down at the silver on the gambling table, Situ Wen whispered in his ear, "True King, your hands are trembling; calm down... You won again, quickly collect the money!"

The casino owner moved the silver piled in front of Chen Shi with a wooden ruler, winning two rounds. Scattered silver piled up modestly in front of him, weighing about one hundred and twenty taels.

His gambling table was for betting on numbers, with numbers from three to eighteen carved into it, sixteen in total, winning a bet on a number paid at odds of six to one.

Chen Shi bet on the number nine both times, and both times the dice showed "two-two-five," making three taels of silver into one hundred and eight.

Chen Shi continued to watch Chen Shi’s every move while nonchalantly pushing this stack of silver out, still betting on nine.

The others at the gambling table stirred at the bold move; if the dice showed nine again, that would be more than six hundred taels—a significant amount in Joy Forest!

The pressure mounted on the dice-rolling casino owner who glanced at the corner at the Qi Fortune Master, hoping the latter would hurry over to cut the young man’s luck.

The Qi Fortune Master noticed the unusual scene and walked over to observe Chen Shi’s luck.

Chen Shi’s presence also alarmed Chen Shi, who looked over; the gambling table was so crowded with gamblers that Chen Shi was trapped in the middle, making his face indiscernible to Chen Shi for the moment.

"Roll! Roll! Roll!" the gamblers shouted with even more excitement than Chen Shi, staring at the dice cup.

The casino owner, a being with a chicken’s head and human body, also felt the pressure, his hands trembling slightly, yet he lifted the dice cup.

One, three, five.

It was still nine.

The casino owner wiped the sweat off his forehead, exchanging Chen Shi’s silver for six hundred-tael silver notes and converting the remaining four and a half taels into four ten-tael silver ingots and eight taels of small change.

Grasping a few taels of small silver, Chen Shi mimicked the mature gamblers in the house, stuffing the silver into the bosom of a scantily clad girl nearby, then bet all the remaining silver notes and small silver on the number nine again.
