Legend of Shi’En - C79
Late at night, a horse carriage stopped in front of the town’s entrance. Shi En took a deep breath, dispelled the chill in his heart, and ignored the people at the door who were hesitating to enter. He put down the reins in his hands, and the horses snorted.
Shi En lifted his foot. The moment he stepped into the town’s gate, he felt a bizarre fluctuation sweep past his body.
After Shang Qian was also swept by that bizarre fluctuation, waves of shock immediately rose in his heart. He never thought that in the short span of a few days, the External Devil Group would have installed such a strange detection device inside the town.
While the others, on the other hand, were not like Shang Qian who was paying too much attention to the strange undulations that carried a test smell. Shu Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at the streets of the town; on the inside of the street, there were many people walking around, on both sides of the street, there were all kinds of Gambling Stand, some thugs were still messing around on the streets, and the atmosphere here, seemed to be even more eroded than before.
Although they hid a bit of vigilance in their eyes, they did not have much of a reaction. Tonight’s gamble had attracted all sorts of people, and everyone wanted to make a windfall from this gamble.
His gaze swept across the street. Just as Shi En and the rest were about to enter, he suddenly had a thought, and raised his head to look at the rooftops of the houses in the town. He saw over ten shadows, which were like apes, dashing over towards the town’s entrance.
After a moment, over ten figures appeared at the entrance of the town, their gazes sweeping across Shi En and the rest. One of them, a middle-aged man who was the leader, said indifferently: “Tonight is the grand gambling feast, whoever enters the town must report their identity, name and so on, otherwise, they will be directly expelled.”
Shu Xiaoxiao’s eyes swept across the ten or so figures, and saw that other than the middle-aged leader, there were men and women in the other dozen or so people, but all of them were quite young, around 22 to 23 years old. All of these youths were dressed in uniform, and the embroidery on their clothes was extremely exquisite.
Shi En took a closer look and noticed that the embroidery on their clothes looked very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere. Shu Xiaoxiao had the same thought in her heart at the moment, but when she looked carefully, she recognized the origin of the embroidery.
Shu Xiaoxiao turned around and glanced at Shi En. He noticed that was frowning as if he was thinking about something, and thought to himself: Could it be that he recognized this embroidery? He wouldn’t be wrong, he was just a little pauper.
At this time, these ten or so young men were using defensive techniques and looked at Shi En with contempt.
“Also, after reporting their names and identities, if they are unknown, those who come uninvited will pay fifty taels of silver and then consume this pellet.” The middle-aged man waved his hand, and one of them appeared in his hand. He casually poured out a few brown colored pills, glanced at the people hiding outside the entrance of the town whose expressions had changed, and said coldly: “Everyone, don’t worry, this is not some poison, it is a kind of Pill that was refined from Jiao Hai Gang that can sense one’s position. If you enter the little town and have any thoughts of causing trouble, then this Pill will send a signal from your body, and people of our Jiao Hai Gang will follow the reaction of the pill and search.
Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, the faces of everyone at the entrance of the town changed slightly. They were used to hanging out in this town, and had entered this Underground Fighting Ground a few times already, why did they have these rules now? With their sensitive nerves, which constantly licked blood off the edges of their blades, how could they possibly let them swallow some unfathomable pills? Wouldn’t they have given their lives into the hands of the Jiao Hai Gang?
However, just as some busybodies couldn’t help but object, the ten or so young men and women behind the middle-aged man immediately pulled out their sabers with a “choke” sound. A domineering aura exuded from their bodies; one of the youths pointed his saber at the entrance of the town, ready to drive them away at any moment.
Please forgive me, Jiao Hai Gang is just following orders, from tonight onwards, this is a rule, if no one wishes to, then don’t enter, if not you will violate the rules, then maybe you will end up dying before you get the windfall. ” The middle-aged man said with his hands behind his back. As his words sounded, a powerful aura slowly seeped out from his body.
“This person is quite strong. I’m afraid tonight… Are you sure you want to go in? ” Sensing the middle-aged man’s imposing aura, Shu Xiaoxiao muttered softly.
Shi En knew what she wanted to say to him, but he had already decided that he would completely eradicate this scourge tonight.
However, when they saw the shiny long sabers, their bodies couldn’t help but shiver. The ferocious aura that they had just gathered immediately dissipated, and after biting their teeth, they took the pills and swallowed them, and directly left the Underground Fighting Ground. On the other hand, those who were still unwilling to take the pills, helplessly retreated.
Looking at those who obediently swallowed the pills, the middle-aged man’s apathetic expression finally relaxed. As for those who left, he did not even bother to look at them.
“Um, I’m an employee of Underground Fighting Ground this time, so I don’t need to eat this stuff, do I?” Just as the middle-aged man passed the pill in his hand over to a youth that stood in front of him, he heard that person’s voice.
“Uh, please state your identity and name.”
Shi En pointed to his own face, and boasted: “Wang Dachui, Underground Fighting Ground’s strongest participant, is also the main character of tonight’s grand gambling event.”
Hearing Shi En’s words, the people who had not left and the ten odd Jiao Hai Gang members all looked over in astonishment. Looking at the huge face, the middle aged man’s face was filled with suspicion as he asked: “You are Wang Dachui?”
Shi En shrugged his shoulders, smiled and said: “If you don’t believe me, we can exchange two moves, and take it as a warm-up before the competition.”
Hearing that, the middle-aged man was startled, his face filled with surprise, then said with disdain: “I heard that Wang Dachui was playing with the meteor hammer, and no one within three meters was able to approach him, I would like to ask for guidance.” One must know that today, he had already received orders to search for suspicious people. He had only occasionally heard Wang Dachui mentioned this before, but had not personally witnessed it. Furthermore, Wang Dachui rarely showed his true face to people.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems that you are not my hardcore fan. I, Wang Dachui, know a lot of weapons. Shi En’s bullsh * t statement scared everyone present stiff.
He circled around Shi En, his nose continuously sniffing towards’s armpits. Afterwards, he said confidently: “He’s Wang Dachui, that’s right, at least I won a lot of money from him, I was there during every fight, and even if he fell into the septic tank, I would still recognize this scent of his.”
After the others heard the old elf fellow’s words, they also surrounded Shi En and pointed at him. After carefully observing him, they confirmed Wang Dachui’s identity. At this time, the gamblers in the town also heard the news and knew that Wang Dachui, with his odds of one against one, had appeared at the entrance of the town. With a hula sound, they all rushed out and surrounded Shi En and the rest.
Those who had previously won money, called “Brother Dachui” and “Brother Dachui” one after the other, instantly smashed their flattery towards Shi En like hail. This made Shi En very “angry”, thinking to himself that a righteous person like him would never be able to hear such waves of flattery, and was so angry that his mouth couldn’t even close.
Who knew that this group of quack gamblers would still not know how to appreciate favors? They praised Shi En nonstop, from top to bottom, as if they would not rest until Shi En had been angered to the back of his head.
“This bunch of bastards, are they really going to praise me to the heavens?” Shi En grinned and smirked at Shu Xiaoxiao.
Facing such a shameless Shi En, Shu Xiaoxiao did not feel anything. She was still worried about Shi En’s battle tonight, but Zhu Xiaochang rolled his eyes at him. He had even seen lose himself in battle several times and had the urge to expose him on the spot. However, when no one noticed him, Shang Qian secretly sprinkled a handful of ‘black sand’ on the ground. Strangely, when the ‘black sand’ landed on the ground, it moved without wind and scattered in all directions.
Actually, there were quite a few people who spat at Shi En. After all, if there were people who won, there would be people who lost, which was an immutable truth in all of history. However, just as these people were about to make a move, they were discovered by the people from Jiao Hai Gang and exiled in a proletarian fashion.
Under the crowd’s support, the people from Jiao Hai Gang also tacitly agreed that Shi En was Wang Dachui, and Shu Xiaoxiao and the others, Shi En publicly announced that they were his own wife and two children. The middle-aged man was currently confirming the number of Wang Dachui’s family members with the Underground Fighting Ground’s manager, and received a response that Wang Dachui indeed had a wife who had adopted more than one child.
Now, all of the data were matched, and there was no reason why Jiao Hai Gang would not let people in. Then, the crowd burst into an uproar. They were all discussing how Wang Dachui even brought his friends and family along, this was clearly being fearless.
One by one, they risked their lives to bet all their wealth on Wang Dachui.
Just as Shi En and the rest were about to enter the Underground Fighting Ground, a young man with a sinister cultivation was hiding in a corner. He held onto his waist with one hand, and his eyes stared fixedly at the wooden blade on Shi En’s waist, as he said while gnashing his teeth: “I thought I couldn’t find you, but I didn’t think that you would come knocking on my door.”
