He Comes From the Void

The waterways of Valoran have been around for a long time, but the origin of the demon Tam Kench is even longer.

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

It eats gambling like life, from the muddy tent gambling stalls in the Anaconda River, through the gambling halls of Bilgewater, and then to the gilded gaming tables of Piltworth and Zuan. Footprint.

But it seems to like to lure others into the quagmire of gambling more than gambling on its own.

You know, it's more than money that can lose.

"Yes, it's me." Tam let out a deep laugh, as if the river bottom was being churned by the turned-up mud. "A big swing, a big yawn, two coats. I have many names. The best known in Bilgewater is Tam Kench, but I would rather people call me the king of the river."

Planck put down the pistol in silence, and Tam said: "Since you know who I am, you should understand that I have the ability to help you out of the predicament. Why not consider my suggestion?"

"There is no free lunch in the world, and your help comes at a price." Planck said.

It is precisely because he knew that Tam was not so kind, so he did not immediately agree. Those who deal with the devil have never made money. Those legends about Tam have finally led to a truth-no matter how rhetoric it is. Alluring, you will be lost in its mouth.

"You're right again, the price you need to pay is just a trivial thing." The demon laughed and didn't mind Planck's vigilance at all: "My business is actually pretty good... but you have to be willing to compensate me. That's fine."

"What do you want from me?" Planck carefully considered his words, and at the same time paid attention to whether there were any traps hidden in the other party's words, but he didn't expect Tam to say the price straightforwardly.

"One arm."

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

This is different from the legend. The Tahm in the story uses benefits to gradually lure people into depravity. At the beginning, they only need to pay a small price, and the later the price will increase.

It is said that on an evolution day, it found a tangled inventor in Picheng and gave her an idea to ensure that it would be noticed by a wealthy family.

And the return it asked for was just a bunch of her hair, but now it came up with an arm, which made Planck unacceptable for a while.

"The wealth that others want, but what you want is life, and the cost is naturally higher. But compared to death, the cost is already small. If you don't want it, then I will leave." The devil is still there. Laughing, its mouth opened as big as the entire city, and its words made Planck speechless.

What kind of plan to offer is determined by the old devil, and how he chooses to accept it or not.

Planck had no choice, and staying here would only die in vain. He asked: "How are you going to take me out."

Tam said: "If the world is a river, then I am the king of the river. There is no place I have never been to, and there is no place I can't set foot again. Since I can come in here, I can go out. ."

"I accept this transaction. If you can take me out, I am willing to pay the price of an arm." In order to remind Tam not to go beyond, Planck reiterated the content of a transaction.

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

Planck thought that Tam had repented and wanted to destroy the deal and eat himself directly. This kind of result is the kind of ending he predicted. For him, there is no difference between dying in the mouth of a behemoth under the sea and dying in the mouth of a water monster, it doesn't matter.

But unexpectedly, this was just the way Tam used to take him out of the belly of the sea beast.

After being swallowed by that big mouth, Planck felt like he had fallen into a muddy river, letting the rushing water wash away, making his head dizzy.

And outside he could not see, the wooden board under Tam's feet created a whirlpool out of thin air, swirling its bloated and fat body into it, and then disappeared without a trace in the cabin.

The behemoth under the sea seemed to feel abnormal, and the stomach wall squirmed violently, and the huge pressure instantly smashed the wreckage of the Mingyuan.

Planck felt like he had been thrown into a roller filled with river water. The sky was spinning around for a long time. When he was vomited by Tam, he found that he was already on a beach.

There was fine white sand under him, which was partially darkened by absorbing moisture from his body. The sound of the tide came from my ears, and a swift crab kicked on the water and disappeared quickly on the clean sea not far away. It seemed that he was frightened by his arrival. On the opposite side of the sea is a dense tropical jungle, which is difficult to see in Bilgewater, because all the trees there have been cut down to house the house.

Planck endured the spinning dizziness and got up and looked around again, finally confirming that he was on a small island in the Python Islands, in the northern part of Bilgewater, belonging to the Baru people.

Generally speaking, the Baru people prohibit the Bilgewater from going to their turf. But Planck is different. He has acquaintances here, so he is not very worried about being driven away.

Moreover, at present, there is no one nearby except him.

A fat and sticky paw caught him, and Planck turned his head and saw that Tahm hadn't left. He was stared at close range by his yellowish eyes without pupils, which made him feel a little frustrated.

"It's time to honor the promise." Tam grinned sullenly, and then suddenly attacked, grabbing his left arm and biting it~www.readwn.com~ caught off guard, the severe pain of the left arm tearing made Planck horrible. Roaring, he saw the white bone dregs looming at the fracture, the torn muscles and blood vessels were exposed to the air, blood was constantly pouring out, reddening the sandy beach under his feet.

There was a frustrated chewing sound coming from the ear. It was the sound of the devil's teeth crushing bones. He knelt on the ground with his arms covered in pain, and kept roaring.

The devil seemed to have tasted it carefully before swallowing the flesh and blood, and Planck couldn't help vomiting when he thought that his arm had entered someone else's stomach.

"The arm of the pirate king? It's a good appetizer." Tam laughed with satisfaction and patted his chubby belly.

Planck endured the pain and raised his head. From this point of view, its face was blocked 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 in order to survive, he finally paid a price-an arm.

"If you are full, can you go?"
