The ship was berthed for half a year and set sail smoothly with a full load. Everyone on board was delighted.
Wang Baoxing was busy on the deck. He was responsible for customer service and became even busier after the ship sailed.
For large ships on the high seas, storms are a secondary concern, and pirates and violence on board are more of a concern.
The giant ship guarding the Supreme Demon Lord cannot solve the fundamental problem, so the Nine-Nine Ship specially welcomes the Demon Lord to ride on it, which greatly improves the protection.
It is even customary for the first demon king to ride on the boat for free.
Xue Tong was in the early stage of the Demon Lord when he entered the city, and he did not hide it when boarding the ship. He was regarded as the top monk on the Angtu.
Xue Tong's guest room is on the second floor of the deck, and the view is half blocked by the thick mast.
“It would be nice to get on the boat.”
The cabin is of medium size, with floors and walls about one foot thick, and is lined with a solid iron core, making it safe and secure.
Xue Tong locked the door tightly and sat cross-legged to practice the exercises. He didn't feel relieved until he disappeared from the coast the next day.
The ship is already very lively, especially the casino on the first floor.
Xue Tong watched the excitement around.
Xue Tong was not good at gambling. When he was young, his family was poor and he had to worry about food and clothing. He had no spare money for gambling.
There are seven or eight gambling tables, all playing large and small dice.
Xue Tong only knew that nine out of ten bets were cheating, and he did not take part in the table. He observed the six-person gambling game on the stage.
The most common bet is a big bet, a small bet, and a bet on points.
Take turns to play the banker, lose all or win five thousand.
Gambling equipment is provided by Angtuhao and has been inspected and confirmed by everyone.
"Buy and leave!"
The black-faced brawny banker shouted.
The antler dice was shaken several times in the purple jade cup and then patted onto the soft rubber table.
Twelve dice, under thirty-six points is small.
The number of dice far exceeds the three to six in the ordinary world, making cheating more difficult.
To ensure fairness, the gambling equipment is changed every hour, and the size and weight of the dice shaking cup are different from the previous ones.
Xue Tong watched and gambled for nearly half an hour.
"The game seems to be all about luck, but there are still tricks."
"Practice diligently and become proficient in the twenty-four sets of gambling equipment. Start by controlling a dice. Rolling one dice increases the possibility of a small one, and rolling a six dice increases the possibility of a big one. Once you have practiced to five or six dice, you can It’s up to the bet.”
Xue Tong murmured in his heart, observing the words and deeds of the six people.
When the two shook the cups, they seemed to be practicing controlling the force and angle of the dice.
The other four, especially the carefree Minotaur, looked like they were gambling entirely on luck.
Xue Tong often hangs out in casinos during his breaks from practicing.
The demon envoys and demon lord-level gamblers were all afraid to give up their seats. Xue Tong waved his hand and just drank a cup of magic tea at the dining table.
After one month, the tauren gradually stopped laughing and focused on gambling.
The Tauren are not as intelligent as the Demons and make bets based on intuition. If there is a trick in the bet, they will definitely lose.
Sure enough, after another month, the tauren disappeared.
Xue Tong shook his head and asked the waiter at the dining table: "Why didn't that yellow-faced bull demon come?"
"Lost all!"
"I was given a leopard shot a few days ago, and I even took a pill to pay for it, so I paid twice as much," the waiter said.
Xue Tong went to the casino again half a month later, but the yellow-faced bull demon never showed up again after losing all his money.
This actually aroused Xue Tong's greater interest.
"If the Bull Demon comes, you must inform me." Xue Tong said to the waiter.
"Uh-huh!"
…
The days passed.
Xue Tong never watched the gambling again, and the waiter never informed him.
"boom!"
There was thunder in the middle of the night and it started pouring rain.
Storms and winds at sea were common, but Xue Tong did the exercises in the cabin without being disturbed at all.
But he could faintly hear sobbing.
The yellow-faced bull demon sat paralyzed leaning on the mast, with the wine bottle knocked over beside him, and let the heavy rain pour down on him.
"Why are you here with me!" Xue Tong came out of the house and shouted at the Bull Demon.
The tauren seemed oblivious and did not listen to Xue Tong's order. He no longer cared about the offense or not.
Xue Tong stretched out his hand and grabbed it, then picked up the tauren and entered the house with his fingers.
"What's your name, Huiyue Demon Clan?" Xue Tong asked.
"Little Longbatan, the Bull Demon Tribe of Tao Valley in Hunyue Continent."
The demon envoy Longbatan reached his peak and started chattering.
More than ten years ago, he took a boat to Yaoxingzhou and worked hard, earning about 200,000 spiritual stones.
The wealth of a magic envoy is usually only five to six hundred thousand, so it is considered good to have such a large amount of cash.
"The spiritual stone difference is still tens of thousands. I wanted to try my luck... but now it's all gone!" Longbatan covered his face and said regretfully.
"You didn't sell the magic weapon, but borrowed a high-interest loan to repay the loss, so you were still saved. Those people know how to roll dice, but you can't play it."
"What!"
Longbatan raised his head, his eyes widened with anger, and his bullish temper was about to explode.
Xue Tong waved his palm and punched the huge bull's head with his spiritual power. Longbatan's body was shaken and he gasped for air.
"There are many tricks and tricks. I blame you for being too young and stupid for wanting to get it back. Tell me about you, why you are in urgent need of spiritual stones," Xue Tong said.
"If you want to participate in the Demon Mansion's selection of talents, you need to pay off your old debt and pay an application fee of 50,000 yuan."
"You owe so much debt"
"I was in debt due to practicing Falun Gong, so I went to Yao Xing Continent out of desperation to do hard work to make money. After paying off, I can be recommended by the tribe and qualify for the selection of talents." Longbatan said.
"You are really stupid. If you pay back 150,000 yuan first, your tribe won't embarrass you."
"I once thought when I was young, isn't this too impatient and greedy?"
Longbatan's tears fell again.
"Selecting talents is so important. You seem to care about it." Xue Tong said.
"The Demon Mansion selects talents, which are divided into three levels: Demon Envoy, Demon Marquis, and Demon Lord. If you are selected, you will become a member of the Dai Hui clan. They will have a prominent status and will have no worries in this life."
Longbatan's eyes lit up, "Could it be that Sir..."
Then he suddenly came to his senses, "My lord, it seems that I have just been to Huiyue for the first time. I'm afraid it won't work. The selection process is strict and demons from other continents are not allowed to participate."
"The Demon Mansion is so charming that all the demon cultivators in this continent flock to it," Xue Tong asked.
"The monks of the Demon Palace, even if they are the people around the Demon Lord, they have the right to explore the Demon Island despite their noble status."
"Magic Island"
"The Demon Island is a mysterious restricted area. I don't know the details. Non-monk monks are not allowed to enter. Violators are wanted across the continent and will be killed without mercy!"
Xue Tong rolled his eyes slightly and made up his mind, "I will find a way for you to pay for the debts and registration expenses. You can do odd jobs and slowly deduct them from your salary."
"ah!"
As if hearing the fairy voice, Longbatan knelt down excitedly and said, "The kindness of Lord Demon King will be engraved in my heart and I will do my best to repay you!"
Longbatan was extremely excited, as if the name of the Demon Mansion monk was right in front of him.
Xue Tong was secretly amused and thought to himself: "Looking at your lackluster look, you'd be damned if you could be chosen."
The Minotaur is upright and stubborn, and since he has identified Xue Tong as his benefactor, he will almost never change.
"Take this bag of spiritual stones first and practice the exercises well. If you talk nonsense to others or gamble secretly, just pay back the money and go away!"
Longbatan took a small bag of spiritual stones and said, "Batan swears to God, if you talk nonsense and cheat on gambling, you will be shattered to pieces and die a good death!"
"Okay, okay" Xue Tong waved his hand, signaling Longbatan to leave.
…
The next few months were relatively peaceful.
While Xue Tong was watching the scenery and basking in the sun on the deck, he had several encounters with the Demon Lord on the ship.
They were all on guard against each other, only greeting each other with their eyes, without saying a word.
Longbatan asked him to pay his respects every five days. Xue Tong did not tell him to do anything, so he could survive the voyage safely.
Wang Baoxing paid a sudden visit to Xue Tong.
"Master Luo, Demon Lord Wubo invites you."
"Mr. Wu Bo doesn't know him, what's the matter?"
"Little Ke, I don't know, I said I was inviting you to have tea."
"Master Wu Bo, Hezhou Demon Clan" Xue Tong asked.
"The other two adults from Yao Xingzhou are from the Huiyue Demon Clan."
Xue Tong knew the sea, and a picture of three demon cultivators standing on the bow of the ship appeared.
He didn't want to go to drink tea, but he had no choice but to go to the teahouse because he couldn't avoid it.
Demons are direct and straightforward, and demons with a higher rank are often domineering and do not allow for evasion.
Wu Bo asked why Xue Tong went to Huiyue
"I've been staying at Yaoxing for a long time, and I want to visit other continents." Xue Tong behaved respectfully and answered carefully.
Before it was time to stop being afraid of trouble, another incident occurred on the ship, notwithstanding the big case of Yaoxing.
"I was invited by my old friend Huiyue to go to Jianshan to help the dwarf demon clan. Demon Lord Luo will go with me," Wu Bo said.
"I really don't have much ability, so I may not be able to help. Sir Wu, please forgive me." How could Xue Tong be willing to get involved in the dwarf demon's troubles.
"Mojun Luo doesn't give you face," Wu Bo said displeased.
"How dare you, my lord, forgive me."
"It depends on whether you have the ability to leave. If you really can't, it's not too late to leave." The Demon Lord next to Wu Bo said helpfully.
Huiyue Demon Lord was only in the middle stage of cultivation, so he used Wu Bo's power to speak scornfully.
"There are more demon kings on the Angtu than just below. Why don't Master Wu invite those kings and guests to give it a try?"
Xue Tong forced out a wry smile and thought to himself: "If in normal times, you few ungrateful bitches would have died long ago, Xue has no choice but to pretend to be a grandson today."
"How did you know we didn't invite anyone else?" Huiyue Demon Lord raised the corners of his mouth, half asking and half scolding.
"Yeah, well, Luo doesn't want to go, but some adults insist on going. This is really a bit hard, and I'm bullying you."
Xue Tong's patience was limited, so he thought: "If you are desperate, agree first, and then find a place to kill."
"Forget it, just don't want to go." Wu Bo pondered for a moment and then relaxed.
"Thank you Mr. Wu for your understanding!" Xue Tong let out a long sigh.
Finally passed the biggest hurdle in the journey.
…
The coast is far away, the color of the magic sea becomes lighter, and the eyes are full of blue water waves.
The merchants who pick up the ship at the dock swarm to unload and distribute the goods, which will last three months.
Xue Tong got off the ship and ordered Longbatan to buy a magic horse and drive towards Tao Valley.
With a loyal local demon like Longbatan on duty, Xue Tong no longer had to worry about anything along the way and rarely showed up.
Minotaurs are honest and willing to work, as long as they don't lose their temper, and their personalities are gentler than ordinary demons.
On this day, he arrived at the big city near Tao Valley. When Longbatan's affairs were arranged, Xue Tong handed him 250,000 spiritual stones and said, "Bring some gifts back to the village, pay off old debts, and get a letter of recommendation."
"I'm waiting for you here. Ten days is enough."
"Enough is enough!"
"When the tribesmen asked, they told me that I was the devil's charioteer. Don't mention gambling, just go and get back as soon as possible!"
Longbatan left in a hurry, Xue Tong closed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, using his magic skills.
