Abyss invasion? As a demon cultivator, I laughed.

Chapter 142 All-in

Norton looked at the corpses on the ground in shock.

As the only knight under the baron, he was responsible for the security and defense of the entire town, and was the real second in command.

But in the sixty years he served the baron, he had never seen such a horrifying scene.

The dried blood dyed the streets dark red, the walls were covered with broken meat, and the severed bodies were everywhere. There were also a large number of monsters hiding in the city, like poisonous snakes that chose people to bite!

"What happened?"

Before coming, he had heard the report from his men. He originally thought that it was just a crazy man who was high and burned down the warehouse where the paradise grass was stored.

This was certainly a huge loss, but for Norton, it was not a difficult problem to deal with.

Find the culprit, hang him in the most conspicuous place in the town and torture him for three days and three nights, make sure every gambler can see him, and then kill him with the most cruel means, which is enough to make this group of desperate people still maintain a basic fear of death even after getting high.

So after ordering the guards to wear isolation masks, he brought four knights and his men all the way here.

But the scene in front of him made him realize that things are far from that simple!

This is a premeditated attack on the city!

"Humph, what a courage! Dare to use such means under the gaze of the God of Gamblers?"

Norton snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes, and carefully looked at the looming figures in the red mist.

"The enemy should be mainly soldiers, but there are a lot of them, about the same number as my guards."

"There are also a few fierce ones."

"But it seems that these wandering guys are not their leaders."

After a slight pause, Norton turned to the notary beside him and asked, "Can you help?"

The notary nodded mechanically: "My duty is to maintain the gambling game. Any offensive means other than gambling should be punished by the God of Gamblers."

Hearing this, Norton couldn't help but feel relieved.

In the world of believing in the God of Gamblers, in order to maximize the fairness of the gambling game, the strength of each notary is very strong, far exceeding the gambler itself.

The notary of the Jazz Gambler is comparable to the general level! The physique is more than one thousand!

This kind of strength is amazing no matter where it is placed. With the notary taking action, it must be enough to easily deal with the invaders.

Thinking of this, Norton was relieved. He turned back and shouted to his men: "Everyone, get ready for battle! As long as you repel the invaders, each person will be rewarded with three pounds of bliss grass! For each soldier killed, one more pound! If you don't want the grass, you can exchange it for points!"

Needless to say, bliss grass, points can be exchanged for many equipment and the qualification to become a high-level gambler, which is also extremely precious, which made the guards excited immediately.

With Norton taking the lead, a group of warriors rushed into the town in a mighty manner. After a long time of cooperation, they automatically formed a combat team without saying much. With their joint efforts, the outermost monsters were easily cleared, and more than a dozen were killed in a blink of an eye.

"It seems that this invader is not as powerful as I thought." This thought flashed through Norton's mind.

However, just as this thought arose, there was another loud noise in the center of the town!

Norton's heart tightened, and he looked in the direction of the sound. In the hazy red fog, it seemed that a huge monster rose from the ground and extended towards the sky.

"What is that?" Norton narrowed his eyes and was about to go to find out what was going on when he suddenly heard a scream beside him!

He saw a dragon warrior of his rank being thrown to the ground by a ferocious monster. The strange thing was that the dragon warrior had clearly cut his knife into the monster's body, but the monster did not immediately lose its combat effectiveness like the other monsters that everyone had killed before. Instead, it turned around and bit the dragon warrior's neck!

When others were about to rescue, a large number of monsters suddenly rushed out of the red fog, like a well-trained army, and directly killed everyone's position!

This sudden attack directly caused all the guard teammates to panic.

"Sir! All the monsters in the city are gathering towards us!"

"And, why the hell can't they be killed!"

Amid the crowd's horrified shouts, Norton was shocked to find that these monsters had a layer of blood light on them. Whenever his teammates caused damage, the blood light would quickly transform into powerful life energy to heal their injuries!

In particular, these monsters also have a strange ability to transform from entities into souls, making it difficult for even the captain of the fierce level to kill them in a short period of time!

Norton had a bad premonition in his heart, but as a fierce-level peak, and a jazz gambler blessed by the God of Gamblers, he was extremely confident in himself and instantly realized the core of the problem!

"The source of the bloody energy is the giant that suddenly rose in the center of the town!"

"This may be some special prop that forms a recovery field."

"Catch the leader first. As long as I destroy the giant, the remaining monsters will naturally not be the opponent of the guards!"

With a notary of the general level, he is confident that the leader hidden behind the scenes will not be his opponent!

Thinking of this, Norton did not hesitate and rushed out to the center of the town, followed closely by his notary.

In just a few breaths, Norton rushed out hundreds of meters, and he also saw the whole picture of the giant.

It was a blood-colored vine that rose from the ground, as high as five or six stories, and was still growing. A large number of tentacles extended from its roots to the surroundings. These tentacles rolled up the bodies of the town gamblers, and then swallowed them into the body, slowly crushed and absorbed them, and turned them into their own nutrients.

"Sure enough!"

"Jamie, destroy the blood vine!"

As his voice fell, the notary beside Norton kicked the ground with his feet, and soared up under the huge recoil force. At the same time, a three-meter giant sword appeared in his hand, and he was about to cut the blood-colored vine!

However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded beside Norton's ears.

"You are really confident in yourself."

The moment he heard that voice, Norton felt a chill rushing straight to his head. He looked up with horror on his face, and what came into his eyes was a demon-like figure who had come above him at some point, with wings spread out and black mist rising all over his body!

The black eyes, as calm as an ancient well, were looking down at him condescendingly.

Almost at the moment of looking at each other, Norton felt an extremely dangerous feeling in his heart!

Before he could think, a rapidly enlarged demon fist appeared in front of him!

He only had time to block it instinctively, and the fist hit him! The next moment, the pain of broken bones surged into his mind!

"Boom!"

In the huge collision, Norton's arms broke directly, and the whole person flew out like a rag doll, hitting the wall heavily!

He collapsed in the ruins, with an incredible look of horror on his face, and his thinking almost stagnated. Only the continuous pain from his whole body reminded him all the time how terrifying the power of the punch just now was!

With just one punch, he, the peak of the fierce level blessed by the God of Gamblers, was shattered!

"Boom!"

At this time, there was another loud noise from his side, but the notary who was dismantled into scrap metal was thrown over and collapsed a wall.

Now, the last bit of luck in his heart disappeared.

"Baron, what kind of monster did you offend?"

At the last moment of death, Norton had only this thought in his mind.

"Bang!"

A demon hand fell from the sky and smashed his head.

A large number of items exploded, and Chu Xiu waved his hand and collected them all.

"As expected of a knight, one person's net worth is a full 600 chips, and there are many equipment items of high grade."

Chu Xiu showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Of course, these are all expected things. What surprised him was that the effect of the blood vine was far beyond his expectations!

Chu Xiu could feel that under the power of the blood vine, the speed of his body's repair reached an extremely amazing level, and he could use magic energy to infuse his body without limit!

This is also the reason why he can deal with the notary with a physical fitness of up to 1,000 so easily.

After all, the notary only has high basic attributes and does not have any tricky skills or characteristics.

And the terrifying thing is that according to the information sent by the blood vine, its current growth rate is not even one-third!

"It is indeed a mythical item!"

"And the restriction that it needs to grow again every time it is used makes its effect even stronger than that of ordinary mythical items!"

With the blood vine as a backup, Chu Xiu has no worries at all. He doesn't believe that anyone can kill him in the blood vine's domain in a mere fierce trial.

Without hesitation, Chu Xiu rushed out and began to quickly hunt down the guards and the remaining four knight gamblers in the town.

While maintaining the magic energy in his body throughout the whole process, his killing efficiency reached an astonishing level. In a short while, he wiped out all the enemies. Their souls caused the number of evil spirits to surge again, approaching 300!

And the flesh body naturally turned into nutrients for the sky-reaching blood vine, allowing it to grow further.

The huge city was completely transformed into a dead city in just less than a quarter of an hour!

"So now."

Chu Xiu looked towards the castle.

"There is only one last trouble left to be solved."

At the same time, in the golden hall.

The gambling game became more and more intense, and it had reached the 23rd round.

Since Lin Ji made a fortune in that poker game, his gambling luck has not stopped, but has gotten better and better! He has won all the way!

This has made him have more than 600 chips, and he has become more and more confident. He must raise the bet every time. Several times, he obviously had a bad hand, but he relied on his momentum to scare the baron to fold directly.

He seemed to have become the protagonist in the golden hall.

"We have won a lot, and it's almost time to stop." Song Linchuan patted his shoulder.

"Why are you in a hurry?" Lin Ji was beaming, "Anyway, even if we lose, we can get tokens, we won't lose anything."

"I'm lucky now, let's play a few more! It's not too late to leave when you lose!"

Song Linchuan didn't persuade him anymore, but there was a flash of worry in his eyes. He felt a little uneasy in his heart, thinking that he seemed to have missed something important. His intuition told him that the baron was brewing some kind of conspiracy.

But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Ji's words really made sense. Even if they lost all their chips, as long as they had the "bottom line" of passing the trial, everyone would have made a lot of money.

And in so many games, the Baron did not show any signs of cheating. He really couldn't find any evidence to support his "intuition".

While he was thinking, the 24th round began.

As soon as the cards were dealt, Lin Ji couldn't wait to pick up his hand, and almost laughed out loud.

Another big card, two Js!

"Raise!"

He generously waved out ten chips. Song Linchuan and Bian Guanyue looked at each other and folded their cards. The baron chose to follow the bet.

After all, there are five public cards. Before the public cards are opened, the information that can be obtained from the hand cards alone is very limited. Many people will look at the public cards before folding even if they get small cards.

Under the gaze of everyone, the notary issued three public cards, namely 4, 10, and Q, with mixed colors. This was useless to Lin Ji, which made him a little disappointed.

But with a roll of his eyes, he still pushed the chips and shouted: "Raise! Fifty chips!"

In the previous few rounds, the baron would usually choose to fold if he saw that he was so confident, but Lin Ji was no longer satisfied with the normal game strategy and began to try to cheat people and play psychological warfare.

But this time, the Baron did not throw away his cards, but calmly chose to call.

This made Lin Ji's heart tighten.

However, when the fourth card was issued, Lin Ji swallowed all his worries back into his stomach.

The fourth card was another J!

In this way, he formed three Js! And based on the pattern of the public cards, no matter what the remaining fifth card was, no matter what the Baron's hole card was, it was impossible to form a flush, four of a kind, etc. pattern.

In other words, he was almost certain to win this time!

"One hundred chips!"

Lin Ji laughed and pushed the chips in front of him. At this time, he was glad that the Baron had not been cheated by him before.

The Baron on the opposite side looked at him with a smile, and still calmly chose to call.

Soon, the fifth card was opened, which was a 3 of clubs.

This made Lin Ji completely relieved.

Now, the full house pattern was impossible, and only a straight could beat him.

That is, the Baron's cards needed to be a combination of 89, 9K or KA.

But. The probability of drawing these three types of cards combined is less than 5%!

"Two hundred chips!"

Lin Ji directly bet most of his remaining wealth.

The Baron just smiled and said, "Follow."

"Okay!" Lin Ji shouted excitedly, "Then open the cards!"

"Slow."

But at this time, the Baron interrupted him again.

"I want to raise the bet."

"More?" Lin Ji was a little surprised. At this time, he suddenly realized that this scene seemed very similar to the previous gamble.

At this time, the Baron's voice with a hint of smile sounded.

"Yes, I want to raise the bet."

"I want to add another one--"

"One thousand chips!"

As the Baron's voice fell, the table was suddenly audible, and everyone showed a look of surprise.

Lin Ji even stood up and said in disbelief: "One thousand chips??? Where can I get so many chips?"

"If the chips are not enough, you can exchange them with other things."

"Or if you are confident enough--"

The baron looked at Song Linchuan and Bian Guanyue with a smile.

"You can also ask your companions to borrow."

Hearing this, Lin Ji's face sank.

One thousand chips, even if all the chips of Song Linchuan and Bian Guanyue are added together, it is far from enough. You have to exchange all the legendary equipment on them!

"Are you trying to force me to fold in this way?" Lin Ji sneered, "But don't forget, there is an All-in rule in Texas Hold'em."

The so-called All-in means putting all the chips on, so that even if the chips are not enough, you can continue to the opening stage. Of course, the chips won in this way are not 100%, but will be recalculated through a set of conversion rules.

In fact, Song Linchuan would not miss this point because he had confirmed that this rule was valid before the bet was made.

Otherwise, the baron would have bet a thousand chips in each bet, and there would be no need to bet at all, and everyone would be forced to fold every time.

"So you want to go all-in?"

Lin Ji's words did not make the baron panic at all, but he asked calmly.

Now, it was Lin Ji's turn to hesitate.

These were all his chips! Even if the chance of winning was more than 90%, how many people would have the courage to bet their entire fortune?

If he lost, it would mean that all his previous efforts would be wasted, and even because he had already taken back his 40 chips to ensure clearance, it was unknown whether he could pass the level after losing.

But if he gave up, it would mean that all his previous investments would be wasted, and that was almost 400 chips! After losing, it would basically be like going back to the pre-liberation era overnight.

And if he won, his assets would double directly! Enough to take that [Legendary] quality equipment!

"Lin Ji, forget it," Song Linchuan whispered, "I feel something is wrong. Although I haven't figured out what the problem is, my intuition tells me that the baron is definitely plotting something."

"You are the third son of the Lin family. There is no need to risk your life for a piece of [Legendary] equipment. If you can pass the level safely, don't make any more trouble."

Song Linchuan was right. As the third son of the Lin family, although Lin Ji's talent is not as good as his brothers and sisters and he is not the main heir, the resources he can obtain are definitely not what ordinary people can imagine.

A piece of [Legendary] equipment is indeed precious, but it is not to the extent that he needs to risk his life for it.

But.

For some reason, Lin Ji was like a possessed man. Even though he knew the truth, he couldn't say the word "discard". Whenever he said it, he felt as if hundreds of hands were scratching his heart. There seemed to be countless voices in his head repeating "What if the Baron is cheating you?", "You have such a big hand, you will definitely win!", "The Baron is cheating you!", "If you give up now, you will regret it for the rest of your life!".

Countless voices intertwined, making his mouth dry. He stared at the card table, his eyes were about to pop out, and his heart was beating wildly, as if it would explode in his chest at any time!

The voices in his mind became louder and louder, and more and more unified.

The Baron is cheating you, the Baron is cheating you, you will win, you will win!

"Bang!"

Lin Ji's palm slammed heavily on the card table.

Under the complicated gaze of Song Linchuan and Bian Guanyue, he pushed out all the chips in front of him.

"All-in."

He said slowly but firmly with red eyes.
