Chapter 38: Dice of Fraud You have successfully attracted my attention...

The pale lich lost his usual slowness. He looked cautiously at the empty space ahead, chanting obscure spells fluently.

The black mist rising from the unknown gap gradually spread to the surroundings, returning the area to a gloomy atmosphere.

The ground began to vibrate like a struck drum, and as time went on, the black fog grew thicker.

With a "click".

There was a clear sound of breaking ground.

A corpse that had been sleeping for many years poked out its hand bones from the thick layer of humus. The exposed bones gripped the ground tightly, and the joints exerted force to pull the entire body out of the eternal darkness.

The cold soul fire was shaking in the white skull. The moment its thinking was rekindled, it instantly understood what to do.

The skeleton moved incredibly fast, using its hands and feet to crawl towards the direction pointed by the black-robed lich, and bit it desperately.

Then came the second, the third...

The overwhelming white bones merged into one, rushing madly towards the invisible unknown creature.

They piled up one after another, but were quickly thrown away by the huge force. The scattered bones and debris mixed with the fallen trees everywhere, forming a rather chaotic scene.

The two sides temporarily maintained a delicate balance.

Chen Shuang, hovering high in the sky, shifted his gaze from the main battlefield to his surroundings.

The sudden attack caused the army of magic ants to scatter, but the population rules in the nature of social creatures made them quickly gather again and retreat strategically.

Xiaohong led a group of magic ants to guard the rear, keeping an eye on the battlefield where accidents might occur, and being on guard for the retreating large force.

Among the retreating ants there are also magic ants that play an auxiliary role. They carry their injured companions and leave in an orderly manner, never leaving any of their companions alone.

“Hiss.”

The demon ants suddenly became agitated.

Chen Shuang looked towards the center of the ant colony.

They gathered in a group, their tentacles swaying at high frequency, exchanging information flexibly, and making constant hissing sounds, as if they were discussing something extremely important.

As the figure moved back and forth, several hidden human thieves were revealed.

These thieves were more or less covered in blood, their faces were visibly pale, and they looked in very bad condition.

Apparently, the invisible being arrogantly attacked all living beings present.

Chen Shuang turned his gaze back to the battlefield.

What could it be?

*

“Hiss.”

The demon ants were discussing how to deal with the injured human thief.

Wouldn't it be more convenient to just bite it and move it away?

They tilted their heads and looked at the injured thief seriously, their sharp jaws opening and closing, as if they were thinking about where to bite.

Being surrounded by demon ants is not something you can relax about.

Chief Hall looked at the huge demon ant in front of him and swallowed.

He had seen with his own eyes how these demon ants used their sharp mouthparts to bite through the indestructible diamond.

Such terrifying power, even just looking at it, caused a tremor from the depths of the soul.

Hall endured the severe pain in his legs and forced himself to stand up. His face covered in sweat, he said, "I can still hold on. There's no need for you Demon Ants to worry."

If he were to be bumped by these demon ants, his legs would be completely gone.

Hall pointed to the lying Advisor T. Mullen, trying to divert attention. "He's badly injured, unable to move. He was just mumbling about wanting the adults to take him back."

His face was full of sincerity: "Adults, please help him."

Maren, lying on the ground, cursed for a moment, then pulled himself together: "I'm actually fine, I just look a little worse, but they're just superficial injuries."

"Look, isn't this all right?"

He gritted his teeth and sat up, a clear pain instantly spreading from his abdomen.

Mullen glared at Hall fiercely, then said with trembling lips, "Really, I'm fine."

"Ahhhh, my nose is bleeding!"

Hall cried out in surprise, limped forward, covered Mullen's mouth and nose, and pushed him back to the ground.

Ignoring the murderous look in his eyes, Hall immediately shouted, "Take him away quickly! It will be too late if you delay any longer!"

"hiss!"

The demon ants immediately swarmed forward, some ants grabbed the corners of the thief's clothes, some ants bit his pants, and some ants lifted his collar and lifted the thief who was unable to move into the air.

Maren's resistance was in vain and he was quickly carried away, leaving behind only a few cries of pain.

The thief strategist lay on his back, reaching out his hand tremblingly: "Don't pinch my buttocks..."

The demon ant ignored his words and bit the human thief's clothes hard to lift him up when he slipped.

The helping magic ant shook its head, happy with its own agility.

The human thief who couldn't resist suddenly let out a cry of "Ah".

He said weakly, "I told you not to pinch your butt."

*

As the other creatures in the field left, the place became quiet again.

Large pieces of shattered white bones were scattered all over the ground, mixed with the trees that were knocked down by brute force, creating a very shocking scene.

Looking down from a high altitude, the fallen trees formed a clear gap, and the shape was winding and swirling, stirring up gravel and dust in the forest as it moved.

It lurks secretly, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Chen Shuang's eyes moved slightly: "This shape is..."

"snake."

The atmosphere became slightly tense. The mysterious snake that was in a stalemate with the pale lich completely disappeared, leaving only a long dead silence in the forest.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes...

Chen Shuang patted the unicorn's back, and the intelligent holy beast understood instantly, leaping away from its spot with all four hooves.

The next moment, a cold wind suddenly blew behind her. Chen Shuang looked back and saw the giant green python that had reached high into the sky opening its mouth, exposing its sharp white fangs in the air, bringing out a cold wind.

It was as if it wanted to tear the person into pieces and swallow him.

The attack missed, and the giant python lowered its head and its figure gradually disappeared.

The forest returned to its empty state.

It will become invisible.

Chen Shuang patted the unicorn: "Go to the lich."

The white holy beast leaped down with light steps and arrived beside the black-robed lich in a few moments.

"Here, for you."

The lich, who had just experienced a dangerous battle, rummaged through his pockets, took out a bag of magic crystals, and handed it over, saying slowly, "I kept it well and didn't lose it."

He glanced at the dark forest and said, "It tried to rob, but failed."

[Congratulations, Magic Crystal +100]

"Thanks."

The small bag handed over made up for the last ten draws. The original intention was to come here today to make up for the last one hundred magic crystals. Although the situation is a little different now, the result was still achieved.

Chen Shuang clicked on the card pool interface and drew directly.

Brilliant golden light leaped out from the card pool and rushed into reality impatiently. After the light gradually dissipated, what remained in its place was a small dice.

The gray dice rolled a few times and finally stopped at Chen Shuang's feet.

Dice for golden items?

This is the first time I've seen a golden item that isn't divine power.

The system made a "ding dong" sound.

Congratulations, you got the "ordinary dice"

[Buried in the pitch-black earth, a super-super-ordinary six-sided dice, so old that even the inscriptions on it have faded. Perhaps only those who have passed away with similar age can recognize its full appearance.]

[Usage: Random Throw]

Notes:

This item has a limited expiration time. Please unlock the inscription as soon as possible to expand its range of capabilities. This item has a long cooldown time, so please use it sparingly.

This item is extremely powerful, please use it with caution.]

Congratulations, you have unlocked the achievement "This is just an ordinary dice"

Chen Shuang: I almost don’t recognize the word “ordinary” anymore.

The dice in front of him was very small and gray in appearance. Different unknown characters were engraved on the six sides. Five of the sides had severe signs of wear and tear and could no longer be seen clearly. Only the last side, engraved with dark red characters, remained clear.

Chen Shuang lightly touched the dice. Although she had never come across this kind of ancient text before, she knew the meaning of the dark red text the moment she got the dice.

The first side [Fraud].

So far, except for Fraud, the other sides lack inscriptions, and even if they are cast, they are invalid areas.

It seems random, but it is actually specified.

The rustling sounds in the forest gradually reappeared, followed by an approaching cold breath.

Chen Shuang glanced at the empty forest and started throwing the dice.

You are using "ordinary dice"

The gray dice fell from the air, rolled a few times, and when the fifth side was about to face up, it suddenly twitched and jumped up, then swayed and stopped on the first side engraved with dark red words.

Chen Shuang: It would be redundant to write the words “random throw”.

[Thrown successfully, "fraud" in progress]

The shadows of the trees in the forest swayed, and as the invisible force extended, the restlessness became more and more obvious.

Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared in the forest.

This is a huge python with solid green scales. Its head has sharp scales growing backwards, which are now opened excitedly.

The giant python, having regained its invisibility, slowly lowered its head and looked at the humans and the lich... and the gray dice at its feet.

It remained motionless and stared for a long time.

Chen Shuang stopped the lich who was taking a step forward, shook her head at him, and signaled the lich to wait for a moment.

The giant python in front of him looked at the gray dice seriously, his eyes full of desire and excitement. The thorny scales on his head moved backwards, and his body gradually straightened up, showing a more majestic and powerful figure.

The giant python spoke, looking at the dice lovingly, "You have successfully caught my attention."

dice:"……"

Chen Shuang: Uh, why does this beginning sound weird?

The giant python picked up a bunch of flowers from somewhere and said casually, "I'm single."

dice:"……"

Chen Shuang: Who asked you?

Not knowing what kind of illusion this [ordinary dice] gave the giant python, Chen Shuang only saw the giant python in front of him listening and nodding.

Then he pretended to be casual and said, "How do you know I'm 180 meters?"

dice:"……"

Chen Shuang: “…”

Who asked about your height?

The giant python suddenly smiled evilly and snorted, "Playing hard to get."

"I'll give you three seconds to completely leave my heart."

Chen Shuang was silent for a while, and quietly moved away from the gray dice.

The Sweeping Monk is so terrifying.
