The Strongest Devouring Upgrade

"Master Tao Shi, there are guests who want to challenge you."

The top floor of Jingou Terrace is a two-story patio structure. It is very spacious. After the guards took Lu Ping'an to the first floor, someone trot to the largest room on the second floor.

"Well, I see, let him wait."

After a while, a slightly impatient voice came from the well-carved four-open yellow rosewood door, which sounded like a young man.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping'an and Jiang Yuebai looked at each other subconsciously, and they both saw an incredible color in each other's eyes.

At this time, a tall and thin man in the field guard saw their doubts and explained with a smile: "Our shopkeeper is the nineteenth son of the city lord. Although young, he is a genius. No one can beat him in a match-up."

"Oh."

Lu Ping'an responded coldly, and did not give the eagle dog of the Golden Gob Terrace a good face.

Having said that, the Patriarch of the Baishi clan is quite capable.

In addition, Tao Shiqian was able to do the job at a young age, and the treasurer of Jin Houtai, who occupies the bulk of the family's income, shows that his talents are quite high and should not be underestimated.

"Excuse me, three, will you compare together later, or will you come one by one?"

While waiting, I saw an elderly man dressed in purple and gold robe, looking like a housekeeper, walking out from another room with an iron tray covered with black cloth, and came to the three of them to ask questions.

The iron tray uses solid materials, roughly estimated to be at least a dozen kilograms, and this old dealer holds it with one hand, and it is very relaxed, presumably he is also capable of cultivation.

"Ask them both, I will definitely participate anyway."

Jiang Yuebai hugged her arms and looked at the two people beside her.

"No, no, I don't compare."

Tian He didn't want to take the muddy water at all, his head shook into a rattle.

"Me too..."

Lu Ping'an originally planned to watch the battle from the sidelines, but after thinking about it, he thought it would be better to wait and see first.

So he changed his mind and asked, "Uh... I don't know what project will be better later? If I am not good at it, I can only quit."

"Hehehehe, there is nothing to be good at."

When the old dealer heard this, he laughed, "The way Master Tao Shi has come up with a gambling game, as long as he is not a fool, he will play it."

"Come on, choose one from the list, so I can prepare first."

As the old dealer said, he uncovered the cloth covering the tray with his other hand, and saw that there were two rows of bamboo slips neatly placed in it, a total of 16 sticks.

The bamboo slips should be marked with a variety of gambling games, but the names are more weird.

Not only Lu Pingan and Jiang Yuebai, but even Tian He, a self-proclaimed expert, had never heard of it.

Goat's head dog meat, fools get it, it is hard to harvest when covered with water, tigers die and leave their skin...

Those who don’t know think that this is a private school tool to teach children idioms.

"Old gentleman, sheep's head dog meat is..."

"Don't ask, young man, we have a rule in Golden Goose. Before the customer chooses the item, we can't disclose the specific content of the game, otherwise it will be too boring."

Lu Pingan was about to ask when he was interrupted by the old croupier who guessed his intention.

"Just choose this one."

At this moment, I saw Jiang Yuebai, who had been silent for a long time, and directly reached out his hand decisively, and took out the bamboo slips with "Life and Death" written on the iron tray.

"I'm going, this doesn't sound simple."

Lu Ping'an grinned.

The line of life and death, with the word "death" in the name, is too unlucky.

"Do you think there is something simple in it?" Jiang Yuebai asked back, and handed the bamboo slips to the old dealer.

"Okay, then I will prepare first."

The old dealer put away the tray and said to Lu Pingan before leaving, "Don't worry, young man, you can make a decision after the game is announced."

In this way, after the old croupier left, the guards at the field began to get busy back and forth.

However, the young shopkeeper of Golden Goutai still did not show up.

The guards were very swift, and they were able to set up the props for the "life and death frontline" gambling game with only half the time.

In the center of the spacious hall on the first floor, two pillars with a height of more than ten feet were firmly fixed to the floor by nails and stood firm.

The distance between the uprights is about two feet, and the upper and lower columns are connected by beams.

Among them, at the bottom of the upper beam, a huge axe made of black iron is hung with a strong gold wire rope.

The cutting edge of the giant axe is unusually sharp, and the cold light flickers, making people feel heart palpitations. It is also very large, about the size of two eight immortal table tops put together.

Lu Ping'an estimated that even with the bloodline of the dragon neck beast, he can barely lift the axe now.

The plate-shaped beams below are designed as a row of shackles connected together.

There are five sets of shackles, and up to five people can be locked at the same time. Each set of shackles is equipped with shackles for binding the hands. The chains are rusty, and there are even blood stains on them.

"Ah? No, isn't this the guillotine."

Standing in front of the gambling props, Lu Ping'an looked blank, and asked whether this thing had anything to do with gambling?

At this time, in the largest room on the second floor.

Tao Shiqian, who had just had a nap, was yawning, and under the wait of two close waitresses, she put on a golden yellow python robe embroidered with domineering python patterns.

I think back then, the ancestors of the Baishi clan helped the royal family establish the current state of affairs. They have made outstanding contributions and all children in the clan can wear python robes.

And the children of Patriarch's line can wear golden yellow python robes of the same level as the prince.

This is the only family in the entire Cangwu country that enjoys such an honor.

咚咚咚...

"Come in."

"Master Tao Shi, everything is ready."

With permission, the old croupier who had received the three of Lu Pingan pushed in and told respectfully.

"Compared to what?"

Tao Shiqian asked casually, playing with the little hands of the personal waitress.

"Hey, you just invented the line of life and death."

The old croupier smiled sinisterly, and the wrinkled old face showed an expression of eagerness.

"Oh?"

When Tao Shiqian heard that, he was also interested in the moment, no longer lingering, and quickly walked outside the house.

Originally, he was going to take the place of his father in retreat today to receive a friend from Luyi City, and he was not interested in gambling.

However, since you are playing the "frontline of life and death", it's a different matter.

Before the arrival of the distinguished guests, it is the right to have some time for recreation.

While thinking about it, Tao Shiqian had already walked out of the house, and saw him clasping his fists in his hands, smiling humbly, "Haha, several people have been waiting."

After saying this polite remark, he cast his sights and looked closely at Lu Pingan and others who came to bet.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, when Jiang Yuebai's graceful posture came into the field of vision, Tao Shiqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and the sleepiness that had just woke up was wiped out.

Such a beautiful woman is really rare in the world.

But it is a pity that no matter who the challenge is, he will not be soft.

Tao Shiqian, who was born in Tao Shiqian, has a mediocre aptitude for cultivation. The reason why he can have a lofty position in the family is because of this, which can provide the family with a golden hook for half of the annual expenses.

This is his only foundation.

A bet against a guest is never allowed to fail!

"Well, everyone's time is precious, let's just start."

Tao Shiqian walked to the "guillotine" in the center of the venue, and while talking, he took the paper scroll handed by his subordinates, and opened the faces of the three of Lu Ping An.

The rules are written in black and white on the scrolls to prevent gamblers from refusing to pay after the gambling is over.

"To put it simply, whoever can beat me can choose a treasure at will from the list of reward items posted today on our Golden Hook Platform."

"Of course, since it's a gambling, then both sides naturally have to bear certain risks. That is to say, several people must take out enough betting items. Before betting, I will introduce the gameplay of'life and death' first line..."

Tao Shiqian is very eloquent. Although he has just woken up, he speaks endlessly.

After his explanation and reading the rules on the scroll, Lu Ping'an quickly understood what the so-called "line of life and death" meant.

First of all, before the start of the gambling, in order to ensure fairness and justice, the gamblers will be avoided, and at the same time, twenty golden wire ropes of the same length and thickness will be inserted into a row of circular holes on the beam above the guillotine.

Next, the giant axe will be suspended by a gold wire rope randomly selected by the dealer.

Then, the end of this row of gold wire ropes will be covered by wooden boards built according to the size. It is impossible to distinguish which gold wire rope is bearing the weight from the outside.

After finishing these preparations, the gamblers who evaded in advance will return to the scene, enter the shackles under the guillotine, and then lock them with shackles.

After the gambling game officially begins, the players who bet on the gambling will take turns to cut the gold rope. In the end, the person who has the courage to stay in the shackles is the winner.

It is worth noting that the several sets of shackles attached to the shackles are all made of special materials, and most cultivators can easily break free.

After the chain on the shackles breaks, the color of the fracture will gradually darken over time.

Based on this characteristic, you can determine who is the last person to stay on the field.

"The axe of the Shui Ming Axe is a special weapon for the fifteenth generation of the Patriarch of the Baishi Clan, and it is also the treasure of my Golden Gob Terrace."

"If it fell from this height, even a cultivator in the Yuan Wu realm would not be safe."

"So several people pay attention. When the axe drops, you must avoid it immediately."

Tao Shiqian finally explained.

"Ahem, Master Tao Shi has already made it very clear, so please confirm those who participated in the gambling."

The old dealer on the side coughed lightly, took the conversation, and looked at the three of Lu Pingan with questioning eyes.

"I attended."

Jiang Yuebai took a step forward without hesitation.

Although the bet seemed dangerous, she still did not flinch.

Tian He turned his head and didn't reply. His attitude was the same as at the beginning.

Finally, it was Lu Ping'an's turn...
