The edge of the Ten Thousand Demons Pit is actually the large salt crust area left after Lop Nur finally dried up.
Because the ground surface was so weathered that it could not withstand the weight of the wheels, we had to drive to a nearby area and drive over on two legs.
This is also the place chosen by Batu Gal for gambling. His opponent is a very strange thing, known in the circle as "Insect Grudge"
The so-called insect resentment is actually the ghost that the insect turns into after it dies.
As we all know, everything in the world has spirits. When people die, their souls remain, and even after the death of birds and animals, there will be ghosts left behind. However, the lower the creature, the less likely it is to form ghosts.
Everyone in the circle knows that it is still possible for insects and ants to become spirits by chance, such as the Golden Centipede of the Sun that bet against Su Buling, or the Land of Death Worms guarded by Batu Gal.
.
But if insects and ants become insect resentments after death, the possibility is very slim. Throughout the five thousand years of China, there are no more than ten insects and ants that turned into ghosts after death.
And Batugar was facing one of them.
This was also the main reason why Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua had to travel thousands of miles to invite Batu Gal to participate in the bet. The reason why Batu Gal agreed was that he actually wanted to truly understand what insect resentment was.
After all, he has spent half his life suppressing death worms, and the reason why these worms continue to live and grow may be that there is insect resentment hidden in them. If the characteristics of insect resentment can be understood through gambling, the scourge of death worms in the desert may be completely eliminated.
It was already dark when I walked to the gambling battlefield with a bag and a stick on my two legs.
This place is located on the edge of the Ten Thousand Demons Pit. If you take a step forward, you will find a filthy place with turbid air. Especially when it is dark, there are shadows all around, and you don't know how many ghosts and ghosts are floating around.
On the contrary, not a single living person was seen.
After all, this is a place where filth and evil are hiding. Those exorcists who are watching the excitement and reaping the benefits may have the courage to observe the process of other gambling games, or may dare to fish in troubled waters to gain some benefits secretly, but those who dare to get close to the Ten Thousand Demons Pit really have no chance.
several.
I inserted the evil-repelling short stick into my waist and turned on the soul-catching flashlight. The golden beam suddenly lit up, and the patterns on the filter continued to change, forming various evil-repelling beams.
Being swept away by this beam of light, those floating monsters and monsters instantly dispersed, not daring to get even half a step closer.
Relying on the ability of my soul-capturing flashlight to scare Xiao Xiao, I walked forward along the dry salt crust. Not long after walking, I saw a bonfire burning unbridled. Next to the bonfire, there was a burly man standing vaguely.
I squinted my eyes for a while and saw that he was the person taking charge of this bet, Batu Gal.
Needless to say, Batugar's ability is really strong. When we rushed to the Death Desert to look for him, we saw with our own eyes that he was like the God of War, beating the death worms and killing him on the spot.
Even Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua were discussing that if Batugar was invited, there would be at least a 70% chance of winning this bet.
But one thing I still don’t understand is why Zhang Wuren wanted to watch the seventh gambling game? Was he worried that Batugar would lose? Or was it really like what he said, that I could get some information from this gambling game?
According to my speculation, Su Buxing and Mr. Lei Jian's victory may have alerted the ancestors of the zombies, and the advantage brought to them by starting the gamble in advance has been almost eliminated.
The stakes in this bet are very important, and it’s hard to predict whether the ancestor of the corpse will do something else. The sudden appearance of the Xuan Zhi has already explained a lot of problems. After all, according to the information obtained before, the Xuan Zhi does not have such a heaven-defying thunder needle.
s things.
Since this is the case in the sixth gambling game, will there be some changes in the seventh gambling game? Or, is this the main reason why Zhang Wuren asked me to come to Batugar?
Or perhaps, he has seen that Batugar will be defeated and asked me to save his life?
I threw this idea out of my mind as soon as it came up. Are you kidding me? Batugar is so powerful and an expert in dealing with bugs, how could he lose?
While I was thinking wildly, I was already standing on a raised mound. This position was the highest point of the surrounding terrain. Standing here, I could have a clear view of the gambling game below.
I opened my backpack and took out a small stove. After lighting the solid fuel, the stove emitted a dazzling white light. This fuel was made from the grease of deep sea dragons. When combined with some special materials, the light emitted was not only dazzling, but also
Even extremely aggressive.
Wherever the white light goes, all evil spirits recede and the yin energy does not come close. It is just like an artificial small sun, and the person who shines it cannot open his eyes.
Batugar, who was standing next to the bonfire, immediately noticed the dazzling white light. He squinted at me and then nodded slightly.
I shouted loudly: "Master Batugar! I'll capture the formation for you!"
Batugar's deep voice spread far and wide in the dark night: "Here you go, little brother!"
He turned his head, cast his gaze into the darkness again, and said expressionlessly: "There are insects in the Mobei wilderness. The resentment lingers after death. It's because of the insects."
"Insect resentment has a spirit, which can be large or small, hidden or visible. If it is large, it will swallow people and beasts, and if it is small, it will take living creatures as its residence. The insect resentment in Mobei once resided in the body of living people, controlling them and doing all kinds of evil.
"
He slowly raised the scimitar in his hand, then pointed it into the darkness, and said: "Now that we are here, there is no need to hide, come out and fight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a chuckle came from the darkness, and then a pale-faced woman suddenly appeared behind the bonfire.
This woman's face was covered with layers of prohibited substances, her eyes were painted with dark makeup, her lips were painted bright red, and the corners of her mouth were raised, making a strange smile.
The most important thing is that her expression seems to be frozen, and if you look closely, it looks a bit like she is wearing a mask.
The woman with white makeup didn't move her lips, but a strange giggle came from her throat. She screamed: "Are you Batugar? The most powerful one among shamans?"
Batugar stood motionless and said, "Are you the bug who likes women? In recent years, I heard that you are very arrogant and even want to enter the desert of death!"
The woman with white makeup said with a sharp smile: "It's me! It's me! Do you also know my name? In this case, you admit defeat! I will spare your life! Okay?"
When I heard this, I suddenly woke up. Damn it, it turns out that this extremely ugly woman with white makeup is Batugar's opponent?
But how could a bug suddenly turn into a woman? Is it true that insect resentment can control the human body as Batugar said?
Damn it, is this bug really a sperm? No! It should be a dead bug that has become a sperm!
Batugar shook his head slightly and said: "I hate insects the most. If you want me to admit defeat, don't even think about it!"
The woman with white makeup screamed: "I know you won't admit defeat! Very good! Very good! Then I will fight with you!"
Batugar said calmly: "Please give me a question!"
In this case, Batugar takes over the question, and insect resentment poses the question. In other words, Batugar is on the disadvantaged side. After all, the question maker will formulate a relatively unfair question based on his own ability and what he is good at.
the rule of.
Just like Su Bu Xing dealt with the Sun Golden Centipede.
The woman with white makeup giggled: "Ten miles east from here, there are thirteen families. I come to harm people, and you come to save them. With dawn as the time limit, the more people you save, you win! I harm the people
More, I win!"
Batugar's eyes were gleaming, and he shouted sternly: "Where did the living people come from here?"
The woman with white makeup floated around the bonfire, laughing loudly: "This is specially prepared for you for this gambling game!"
Batugar gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You bastard!"
The woman with white makeup didn't care at all, but smiled even more sadly: "If you don't bet, I will judge you as a loser! How about that?"
Speaking of this, the woman with white makeup seemed to be convinced of Batu Gal, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, I will kill the thirteen living people first, and then come up with a new question. But you
You know, we are born as insects, and what we hate most is human beings. I can’t guarantee that the new topic will be what you want!”
I was shocked when I heard this. Is this thing a bug? It can capture people's hearts so much! If it had hair on it, it would be even better than a monkey!
How could a bug be so cunning? Did she come up with this on her own? Or was it taught by someone in the Demon Pit?
Batugar's face was gloomy, but he really didn't dare to say no. He had guarded the Death Desert for decades and never left easily because he was worried that the death worms would rush out and harm people. It can be imagined that he didn't want to at all.
Let innocent people be harmed.
This question must be answered whether he accepts it or not!
I heard Batugar say coldly: "Okay! Let's gamble on the death of thirteen living people! Let's decide the outcome!"
The woman with white makeup let out a shrill laugh, and her body suddenly disappeared into the darkness. She screamed: "In this case, the gambling begins now! Shaman, don't slow me down!"
The guy was talking, but his body had disappeared. Looking as far as the eye could see, he could vaguely see a dark shadow running towards the distance.
Batugar's face changed color slightly, then he cursed, kicked the lit bonfire away, and then turned around and left. Only then did I realize that Batugar was so fast, even though he was just walking.
But with one step, it was more than two meters away.
If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that he has such speed. After all, Batugar patrols the Death Desert all year round. The place where he goes is inconvenient by vehicle, so it's really not as convenient as walking on two legs.
Over time, his walking speed became faster than ordinary people's running speed.
When I saw one of them and one insect disappear in an instant, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Now, carrying the dazzling stove, I also spread my legs and ran wildly. This bet is unique and involves the lives of innocent people, so I must not miss it.
