As night falls, the sky is filled with stars, and the soft starlight shines down, covering the lake with a layer of quiet silver light. (First published on шш.uuo. website)
But the lake was not quiet at all. Although the Hou family's black ship spent a lot of money to buy the prime position where Lai Siyu and others were previously located, it still got nothing.
On the contrary, Lai Siyu and others would occasionally catch one or two Void Beasts after changing places.
"Brother, they are definitely cheating!" a young man said indignantly.
Although the two young men in the lead already had a look of resentment on their faces, when night fell and they saw the sky filled with stars and covered with black velvet, they smiled.
Fight him! Let them die without knowing how.
When he came out, his grandfather gave him a star stone to carry with him.
As long as it is night and the sky is full of stars, the star stone can automatically absorb the power of the stars.
And this power of the stars is the best way to catch the void beast.
"I wonder if the fellow cultivators across the way are interested in a gamble?" the young man called out. Although his voice was not loud, it echoed clearly across the lake, allowing all the cultivators to hear it clearly.
His words immediately caused a strong reaction. So far, the Hou family hadn't caught a single Void Beast, but the old turtle had a good harvest.
"Could it be that the Hou family has some trump card?"
"Of course. As one of the twelve main gods, how could the Hou family not give the younger generation some treasures?"
"Looking at how confident they are, they must have something in mind."
"Maybe they were deliberately trying not to catch any fish to paralyze the other party."
"They're gambling, should we also be gambling?"
"Look how anxious you are. Even if you want to start a gambling game, you have to wait until the other party starts the gambling game."
…
Everyone was talking about it, wondering whether Lai Siyu and others would accept the challenge.
After all, they are the only ones who have caught the Void Beast so far, while everyone else has caught nothing.
So, in fact, both sides are capable, but it is hard to say which side will win.
"How do you want to bet?" Lai Siyu asked.
The young man smiled and said calmly, "Whoever catches the most Void Beasts within two hours will win!"
"What about the bet?"
"The number of Void Beasts is the bet. The losing side will be compensated with four thousand low-grade divine stones for each Void Beast the losing side has fewer than the winning side!"
The young man smiled sinisterly. He wanted Lai Siyu to return to him ten times the amount of the magic stone that had cheated him!
Of course he knew that they were the only ones on the lake, so they must have some unknown means to catch a large number of void beasts. But now it was night, and the star stone in his hand was his greatest weapon.
Few people know that the Void Beast actually loves to eat the power of stars. Similarly, there are also few people who can possess the power of stars.
Things like star stones are condensed from the core essence of stars. They are rare and hard to come by in the divine world.
The star stone in his hand was made by condensing and refining the cores of hundreds of medium-sized planets.
With the star stone in hand and a starry night, it means that God is helping him.
The boy had already imagined the scene after the game, when the old turtle's people would lose all their underwear.
Humph, if you don’t have the magic stone to give him, just give him the old turtle!
If it’s still not enough, just write an IOU. Hahaha, the result will be so wonderful.
Lai Siyu pretended to think deeply, as if she felt the stakes were too high for her to bear.
A young girl on the boat asked excitedly, "Why, you don't dare? Until now, it's always you who have caught the Void Beast, not us!"
At this time, Mu Lingxiao persuaded Lai Siyu: "Agree to them, they are right. So far, we are the only family in the entire lake that has gained anything."
"But are they fools? They know they can't win, yet they still come to compete with us. I wonder if there's some conspiracy going on. They might be setting a trap for us to fall into!
I don't have that many divine stones to compensate them!"
Upon hearing what Lai Siyu said, the boys and girls on the boat became a little anxious. Damn, if they didn't take the bait, how could they earn back the spiritual power they had given away before?
"Humph, you dare not, and you even said we set a trap to trick you. Even if we were to pull some conspiracy, it was you!
There were clearly many Void Beasts here before, why did they gradually become fewer after you left?
We don't mind, we just feel that the night is too long to sleep, so we want to compete with you to kill some time.
Is it as dirty as you think?"
Lai Siyu raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "You talk nonsense, who knows what you are thinking?
Also, what if we win and you refuse to pay?
You can compete, but you must sign a blood contract before you begin!"
Whoosh…
This silly woman finally agreed!
The young man felt relieved and said, "Okay, we will each send one person to participate in the gambling, and the time limit is two hours.
The losing side will compensate the winning side with 4,000 low-grade divine stones for each Void Beast that was not caught.
I will sign the blood contract now."
The two sides quickly exchanged contracts and then entered the state of competition.
At the beginning, a gambling game was started on each ship. Because the strength of both sides was unknown, the odds were equal, one to one.
As soon as the competition started, Daxue and his friends rushed to various ships to place their bets. Their boss never did business at a loss, so they also wanted to take this opportunity to make a small fortune.
They took out all the immortal crystals they had and bet on their boss to win. Some cultivators still couldn't help but persuade them, "You're betting too much! If someone from the Hou family dares to bet with you, they must have a trick up their sleeve!"
"That's right, don't let it happen that you lose the game and all the bets here are lost. That would be a huge loss, and there would be no place to cry."
"Yes, it's not easy for you demon slaves to save up some immortal crystals, but you dare not spend them so recklessly."
Daxue grinned and said in a silly voice, "No, no, our boss won't lose."
Sanyan lifted his chest, raised his face full of sweat, and said proudly: "I'm giving you a chance to make a fortune. Hurry up and take out all the immortal crystals and bet on our boss to win!"
Siji also said: "Yes, our boss will definitely win!"
"What are you talking about winning? Just wait to lose. Look, the young master of the Hou family has already caught three void beasts in the blink of an eye.
You haven't caught a single fish yet!"
"Yeah, only two hours have passed, and there's still a long time before the game ends.
I think your boss is going to lose all of you this time!"
