Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 1068
Chapter 1068 Fishman’s Bet
Ye Feng risked his life to sign a contract with Yun Zhang.
This was also Ye Feng’s best plan at the moment. He could only succeed, not fail. If he could not awaken the Azure Water Divine Pearl, Romanyu could not spare him. He might as well go crazy.
If he won the bet, not only would he be able to get rid of the threat of the Roman Fish, he would also be able to obtain a treasure like the Water Avoidance Pearl. In the future, he would be able to go to the seabed to search for spiritual treasures.
Ying Zhang glared fiercely at Ye Feng and left with the Fishmen. The other Fishmen also left.
“Little brat, although I, Fish Bear, reject you, I admire you very much today. If you win, I will treat you to the most famous wine of the Roman Fishman, Immortal Er.”
Yu Xiong patted Ye Feng’s shoulder. He had always rejected Ye Feng, but what Ye Feng had done today had greatly improved Yu Xiong’s senses towards him.
“Brother Yu, you’re too polite!”
Ye Feng’s expression was expressionless, and a cold snort had already arisen in his heart. “If I can’t awaken the Azure Water Divine Pearl, I guess it’s not to treat me to Xian’er Wine, but to feed it to the fish.”
Although Ye Feng was thinking this in his heart, he did not reveal it. He still looked like an ancient well without waves.
The group quickly entered Sea King City and entered the prepared relay station. They did not receive any other provocations and finally calmed down.
Ye Feng was assigned a clean courtyard. No one came to disturb him, only two girls from Fishmen were assigned to serve Ye Feng.
Moreover, they were all-round attendants. Although the two girls from Fishmen were still slightly inferior to Yu Ke’er in appearance, they were definitely beauties.
With her exquisite figure and a pair of lubricating fish tails, she definitely had a different style and gently helped Ye Feng massage.
Unfortunately, Ye Feng did not have any interest in them and sent them away. Ye Feng sat down cross-legged and did not let go of any opportunity to cultivate.
“Brother Ye, are you interested in going out and gambling?”
Yu Xiong walked in and interrupted Ye Feng’s rest. Tomorrow was the Fishmen Convention. It was boring to be idle. Yu Xiong came looking for Ye Feng and actually invited Ye Feng out to gamble.
“Not interested!”
Ye Feng said coldly.
“Don’t refuse. We Fishmen gamble, but it’s different from you humans. We gamble on heavenly materials and earth treasures. If we lose, we have to take out equivalent materials. Unlike you humans, we can’t bring out anything good except those few items.”
Fish Bear continued. There were no pills in Fishmen. There was something called Taibai Lingmao on the seabed. It was Fishmen’s food, and it was also rare spiritual energy. The purity of it was even above that of human spiritual liquid.
There were countless treasures at the bottom of the sea. Humans simply could not obtain any deep-sea cold iron, Dragon Gathering Grass, black gold, or spiritual fruits that could only grow at the bottom of the sea.
In addition, they did not have any awareness of snatching. Because they did not lack such resources, most gambling was based on gambling, which was relatively simple and straightforward.
Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and slowly opened his eyes. Hearing the fish bear’s introduction, he seemed to have aroused some interest.
To be honest, Ye Feng had killed a large number of geniuses and obtained many treasures in Mo Lianhai. Only a handful of them could really take out their hands. The Water of Life in Haotian Palace was considered one of them.
Other than spirit liquid, the other treasures were some artifact forging materials, as well as some spirit medicines.
Ye Feng no longer lacked materials for forging. Even if he lacked them, they were still rare materials. They were all used for forging immortal artifacts. As for the materials for semi-immortal artifacts, Ye Feng did not need them at all.
Spiritual liquid Ye Feng was temporarily lacking. Most of the refining materials had been used for Mu Bai. The Spiritual Stones were enough for Little Bai to eat. Apart from some peerless treasures, there were only Spiritual Liquid and Spiritual Medicine left on Ye Feng’s body.
Hearing that there was a treasure, Ye Feng’s eyes lit up. Indeed, it aroused his desire. After all, ordinary materials could no longer satisfy Ye Feng. This seabed was rich in treasures. It was absolutely rich.
There were even many treasures that were no less precious than spring and autumn. Once they were obtained, they could not be used by themselves. Family and friends were in great need of them.
“Let’s go!”
Ye Feng stood up with a calm expression.
Hearing Ye Feng’s agreement, Yu Xiong revealed a smile. The two of them quickly walked out of the relay station and headed towards the center of Sea King City.
On both sides of the street, there were no shops. The Fishmen were different from humans. They rarely traded, so there were very few shops, but there were also some. However, many of the things sold inside were from the human world. They were taken to the deep sea and traded.
Ye Feng’s strength was suppressed by the sea water, greatly reduced, but his primordial spirit was not restricted, and he could freely visit.
Unexpectedly, the price of human items had increased tens of times when they were brought to the bottom of the sea. Ye Feng even wanted to take out the items on his body and let them sell them in exchange for more materials.
Ye Feng was secretly shocked to find that a household accessory that was extremely ordinary for humans was actually exchanged for a hundred-year-old treasure.
To humans, this was the most ordinary thing, but to the Fishmen, it was a treasure. Because the two worlds were different, their views were naturally different.
This was the so-called principle that things were precious when they were rare. What was most precious in the sea was treasures, and what they lacked was things on land.
“In front of us is the largest casino in Sea King City. Let’s go in.”
This wasn’t the first time Fish Bear had come here. He was familiar with the road. He quickly went through the formalities and entered with Ye Feng. Only now did Ye Feng experience where the idiom of fish entering came from. Rows of fish formed a line and swam over together.
A huge gambling city was approaching. It was more than ten thousand square meters in size and had all kinds of gambling tables and facilities. However, it was different from human gambling.
Humans only gambled on some card tricks, dice, and the like, but Fishmen, bet on guessing. This kind of guessing left you with no clue. Whoever guessed the closest distance would be the winner.
After the fish bear entered, it immediately transformed into a human form and walked towards a huge table. It drove the two Fishmen away and swaggered onto the table.
Ye Feng did not hesitate to sit down. There was a box on the gambling table. No one knew what was inside. Everyone closed their eyes and concentrated. They were probably guessing.
There was no difference between the banker and the Xian Clan. Everyone could guess together, or they could guess alone.
“Whoever wins this round!”
The fish bear asked the white tuna beside him.
“This round is between the Red-eyed Fish and the Lionfish. What’s in the box?”
The white tuna glanced at the fish bear and told them the bet.
Ye Feng was very curious. His divine sense spread out, wanting to see what was inside the box. He was also interested.
When his divine sense approached the box, it was actually blocked by an invisible force, unable to penetrate it at all. No wonder the lion mermaid and the red-eyed fish closed their eyes in succession. They were sensing whether they could guess it or not.
This was the first time Ye Feng had encountered such a gambling method. The dealer was only responsible for putting things into the box. Sometimes, it was an ordinary item. What was inside was even empty. This gambling was very exciting.
Since his divine sense wasn’t enough, Ye Feng quietly opened the Heavenly Wizard’s Eye and his spiritual energy seeped out. The invisible barrier actually disappeared. The Heavenly Wizard’s Eye could see through the illusion and nothing could stop it.
There was actually a furry little thing inside the box. It was probably an ordinary demonic beast that could not be found in ordinary demonic beasts, and it was unknown where they had found it.
“I guess this is a dead object.”
The lion mermaid opened its eyes and shouted loudly, saying its own answer.
“I guess it’s a living creature!”
The white tuna also opened its eyes. Although it was still 108,000 kilometers away from the answer, whoever was close to the bet would naturally be the winner.
One guessed dead creature, the other guessed living creature. There must be someone who was right.
This table actually had fifty to sixty people gathered, and it was also the largest one. It was estimated that everyone sitting here was a person of high standing and dignity. Basically, all of them were people that the various fish races said exactly the same thing.
No wonder Fish Bear threw the two Fishmen out just now. The other party left without saying a word, because Fish Bear was the prince of the Roman Fishmen, and his status was extraordinary.
“Alright, both of you have given your answers. Let’s see whose answer is the closest to the correct one.”
The dealer was a dolphin Fishmen. In this region, the dolphin race was the strongest and had the most say. However, they were fairly impartial and would never take sides.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on the box in the middle of the table, wanting to see what was inside.
The lion mermaid had invested a lot of money to watch the white tuna’s chips, so she gambled with him. If she lost, she would definitely lose all her money.
“Open!”
The box slowly opened and a furry little thing crawled out. Although it didn’t know what kind of demonic beast it was, there was one thing that could be confirmed. It was a living creature.
“Hahaha, Lion King, these seven Dao Insight Fruits are mine now.”
White Tuna put away the stakes on the table without any hesitation. It was actually a rare Seven Dao Insights Divine Fruit. It contained seven Dao Insights. If swallowed, it could increase his cultivation of Dao Insights. It was a supreme treasure, even above the Autumn Dao Insights Dao Fruit.
The Autumn Insight Dao Fruit only allows you to comprehend Dao Insight, and the Dao Insight Divine Fruit is pure Dao Insight. The more it contains, the more you will comprehend in the future.
Ye Feng checked the seven Dao Insight Divine Fruits with his divine sense. They actually contained five elements, and two were extremely obscure. Ye Feng did not detect them.
“Sure enough, it’s a good thing!”
Ye Feng raised his eyebrows. If it weren’t for the fact that he was in Sea King City, he probably wouldn’t be able to help but snatch it away.
The resource that the white tuna took out was a material that even Ye Feng could not understand. It was glittering with golden light. It seemed that the lion mermaid needed it very much.
“Brat, if you can find a large number of Dao Insight Divine Fruits, you can break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm soon!”
Mu Bai’s perception of the outside world was clear, and his tone was filled with emotion. He did not expect that there would be so many treasures here. Either way, it was a supreme treasure.
If Ye Feng obtained it, not to mention the Celestial Realm, even the Earthly Immortal Realm wouldn’t have to worry about it.
“I’m so angry, even if I open it three times, it’s still a living creature!”
The lion mermaid let out an angry roar, as if she was unwilling to accept it. If she lost, she would lose. There was no face to speak of here. If she wanted to continue gambling, she had to take out resources.
“I need a Black Lotus Fruit. Whoever has it, I’ll bet with him. This is an Earthly Immortal Realm skeleton. Everyone knows its function.”
The white tuna took out the golden bone again. It turned out that he needed the Black Lotus Fruit.
