This grade two poisonous insect, a small scorpion, had been fed Blood Fiend Powder in advance.
Under the stimulation of the medicinal properties, at the cost of its life, it could exert five to eight times its usual strength within a short period. However, the medicinal effects would only last for fifteen minutes, and after the poisonous insect died, nothing could be traced.
Since Ruyi Pavilion was engaging in fraud, Su Luo felt justified in winning their money.
After a gambler who had lost all his money was thrown out by the thugs from Ruyi Pavilion, cursing and in a frenzy, Su Luo seized the opportunity to sit down.
The next round of gambling began.
Soon, a new batch of poisonous insects was brought to the gambling table. This time, there were still five different species of poisonous insects in the compartments.
Su Luo waited until everyone had placed their bets, and at the last moment, she wagered one million, betting on the inconspicuous grade one silver silk snake to win. This was because the casino had also secretly administered Blood Fiend Powder to this snake, and it was bound to 'turn the tables' soon.
All she had to do was follow the flow.
Jiang Musue, standing behind her, quickly said, "Luoluo, this grade one little snake doesn't look promising. You've bet so much, what if…"
Su Luo waved her hand, signaling that it was fine.
She was already prepared, waiting to win big!
"Little girl, you've bet on the wrong one. This silver silk snake is only grade one, it's bound to lose. The iron-armored scorpion just now was an accident, but there can't be so many accidents." The speaker was a middle-aged man to Su Luo's left. He had a pile of chips in front of him, indicating he had won quite a lot.
Su Luo casually replied, "It's okay, I'm just playing."
The woman to her right glanced at her and said sarcastically, "Boss Song, she has money, you don't need to pity her."
It was the woman who had been losing money all along. Su Luo didn't bother with her. She had just lost another round, losing over three hundred thousand, and this time she had bet on the most ferocious-looking grade three tiger-striped venomous frog. Needless to say, she was going to lose again.
Clang, clang, clang!
Bets were placed, and the gambling began.
The group of men and women who had bet watched the five poisonous insects in the transparent compartments with bated breath. The surrounding crowd erupted in a clamor, "Kill them, take them down… The tiger-striped venomous frog is sure to win!"
The woman surnamed Li was even more anxious, her fingers clenched tightly, and she kept muttering, "Win, win… hurry up!"
The five poisonous insects fought fiercely. As expected, the tiger-striped venomous frog quickly defeated three opponents, leaving only the weakest silver silk snake, which it seemed about to devour.
"Hahaha, little girl, the silver silk snake you bet on is cornered."
The middle-aged man who had spoken to Su Luo earlier laughed smugly, about to boast about his keen eyesight, when his expression suddenly changed: "How could this be… Oh no, the tiger-striped venomous frog was bitten by the silver silk snake and entangled… This is bad!"
The gamblers who thought victory was assured stared with wide eyes at the sudden reversal.
As if in a life-or-death struggle, the silver silk snake erupted with immense power, tightly coiling around the more ferocious tiger-striped venomous frog, constricting it more and more, as if it were a rope burrowing into its body.
Suddenly, crack!
The bulging body of the tiger-striped venomous frog exploded, splashing blood onto the compartment's protective barrier, leaving a vivid red stain. Its intestines spilled out; it was unequivocally dead.
Everyone was stunned. How could this have happened?
"Yay, I won!" Su Luo, however, burst into laughter.
She already knew the outcome but feigned a look of surprised joy: "Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue! Look quickly, I've bet on the Gu King!"
After a moment of astonishment, Jiang Musue was also happy for Su Luo's luck. "That's great, Luoluo. You won on your first try. Fortunately, you didn't listen to me earlier; you won three million in one go."
"This young lady has truly good luck. Congratulations."
The dealer, against his will, praised Su Luo and had a maid place three million spirit coins in chips before her. He also took the opportunity to shout out to others, encouraging them to bet and get rich.
He thought to himself, this brat is damn lucky.
Her first bet was a million. She must be a young lady from a prominent family. He'd make her lose everything and cry as she left.
In a teahouse next to Ruyi Pavilion…
Li Tianjue sat in the first-floor lobby, ordered a pot of clear tea, and sipped it with a poker face, while using his spiritual sense to monitor the situation in the casino.
She actually dared to go to a place as disreputable as a casino!
No wonder she didn't want him to come.
It was fine if she won, but if she lost, he would see how he dealt with her.
Who could have known…
In the next two rounds, Su Luo happened to bet correctly again.
She still bet one million spirit coins per round. In just three rounds, she had won ninety million from the casino. At this point, sweat began to bead on the dealer's forehead. When the poisonous insects for the fourth round appeared, Su Luo immediately noticed something amiss.
"Hmm, they've been changed?"
Under the detection of the Divine Eye, Su Luo discovered that all five poisonous insects had been tampered with and were now controlled by a secret technique. Whoever controlled which poisonous insect died was entirely in the dealer's hands.
He only needed to look at the amount of bets placed and ensure the poisonous insect with the fewest bets survived, thus guaranteeing the casino's win.
How cunning!
"Bets are in, place your bets!" the dealer shouted, smiling at Su Luo. "Miss, since your luck is so good, why not bet more? You might win even more if you get it right."
Su Luo seemed oblivious to the dealer's scheme and glanced smilingly at Jiang Musue. "Xiaoxue, my luck is great right now. How much do you think I should bet?"
Jiang Musue hesitated. "How about… still one million?"
Although he felt Su Luo was lucky, this was, after all, a casino. Winning too much always led to losing eventually.
He just didn't want to dampen her spirits.
Su Luo thought for a moment, then took out five million in chips and bet on the most ferocious grade three silver-ringed snake, looking as if she expected to win. The other gamblers, seeing this, all followed her lead and also bet on the silver-ringed snake.
"This lady is on a winning streak, betting with her guarantees a win, hahahaha!"
"Hurry up and start, don't dawdle…"
All the gamblers were excited, shouting and clamoring. The dealer, seeing that bets on the silver-ringed snake amounted to thirty to forty million, chuckled inwardly.
"Hmph, I'll make you all cry later!"
The battle began…
The five poisonous insects fought fiercely in the transparent compartment. The surrounding gamblers shouted to the heavens, their eyes bloodshot as they stared intently at the silver-ringed snake, looking frenzied.
Soon, the first one died, the second one also died, and the third centipede had its head bitten off and died.
A sinister glint flashed in the dealer's eyes. Just as he was about to use the secret technique to kill the silver-ringed snake… suddenly! His heart gave a violent jolt. Damn it, where did all his spiritual power go?
Seeing the dealer suddenly freeze, Su Luo's lips curved upwards.
Trying to play dirty?
She had been watching all along. How could she let the dealer kill her little money-making darling?
Although using the 'Seal of the Gods' technique consumed a bit of her life force, Su Luo was not worried. The Xuanhuang Continent was not her previous life. Here, there were all sorts of spiritual pills and elixirs. As long as she found something to extend her life, she could recover after taking a few.
As the silver-ringed snake successfully defeated its last opponent and became the Gu King of this round, all the gamblers erupted in excitement.
"Ah—we won, we won, I finally won!"
"That's great! This lady is practically a gambling god. Following her bets, everyone won!"
"Hahahaha, bring the money here…"
The entire Ruyi Pavilion was in a frenzy, the noise deafening. In this round, everyone who had bet with Su Luo won. People cheered and congratulated each other, dancing with joy. Even the woman surnamed Li, who had lost nearly ten times before, felt fortunate that she had been smart this time.
Calculating the amounts everyone had bet, the dealer had to pay out over a hundred million spirit coins.
His face turned ashen, and he slumped onto his seat, almost fainting.
This was disastrous!
