Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

In the same morning, in the dilapidated house.

When Shi Li got up and walked out of the room, he saw Chu Shisan busy in the yard.

Specifically, it is maintaining the equipment.

"It's so early."

It reminded him of hard-working mushrooms.

"Master, good morning."

Chu Shisan did not forget yesterday's apprenticeship, and smiled wryly: "Last night, the exorcism ended too late, I didn't have time to drink, so I woke up earlier."

Seeing his haggard look, it seems that he didn't sleep enough or sleep well.

"So there are so many tools for eliminating demons?"

When Shi Li took a closer look, he found at least a dozen tools and weapons, large and small.

"Of course, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools."

It seems that because he let go of his defenses, today's attitude towards Chu Shisan is completely different.

"You saw this demon-slaying sword yesterday."

He raised the small dagger: "Sharp and blessed by formations, it can cut through many monsters and evil spirits."

"And it can also be scaled and transformed, which is quite hidden."

As he spoke, he blew on the dagger.

Clang!

The small dagger suddenly stretched into a big sword.

"I heard you say yesterday that this is something inherited from the ancestors?"

Shi Li had never seen this kind of technique and magic weapon on Blue Star, so he was quite curious.

"That's right, my Chu clan is the contemporary demon-killing clan."

"Let's talk about this sword again. It can be regarded as my main weapon. It has accompanied me through life and death all these years."

"Once I strayed into the dangerous place of the demon clan, the sword of the horned snake demon king was only 0.01 away from my neck..."

Except for the thirteen who rarely have the opportunity to talk about these things with others on weekdays, when they open their mouths, they are eloquent.

"This sharp cone is specially used to break the golden demon's shield."

After introducing the Demon Slayer Sword, he picked up a palm-length iron awl.

"Back then, I fought an iron armored monster for 300 rounds, all because of it..."

"This water-avoiding bead is aimed at water demons who like to do evil underwater. Once I was ordered to go to a big river to eliminate demons. There was a species called slippery shrimp..."

"The root-cutting axe, don't look at it as it is rusty and has no blade. It is actually very powerful when dealing with wood demons. There is a headless demon tree on the headless mountain, which goes down the mountain in the dark all the year round to hurt people..."

Unexpectedly, except Thirteen was quite enthusiastic, the origin and experience of each weapon were clearly introduced.

Shi Li got up close to noon, and now when he finished speaking, it was almost time for the sun to set.

Fortunately, the physique of a LV5 poker player is much higher than that of ordinary people, so he can still endure a hungry meal.

So in order to learn more about the world, they didn't stop each other.

After listening to this introduction, he felt that Chu Shisan might not be a name, but a nickname.

Because these utensils add up to a total of thirteen pieces.

In addition, he also has his own questions to ask.

"From what you said, monsters seem to be divided into five categories: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth?"

That guy from last night was undoubtedly a fire demon, it couldn't be more obvious.

"Yes, master, among these five categories, the five big monsters are the leaders."

"Or at least in name, they are the leaders of all kinds."

"The names of these five big monsters are—"

"Gold, the galaxy is perfect."

"Mu, Mu Boy."

"Water, the cold fairy mirror."

"Fire, burn the sky."

"Earth, Porcelain Princess."

When these five titles were mentioned, Chu Shisan's eyes became a little more dignified.

"Does the monster clan still have a leader? Where are these guys now?"

Shi Li felt that just by hearing their names, they knew that they were not bad.

He doesn't expect to be able to kill the opponent, but if he meets him, will he have a chance to include his projection into the card pool of the draw?

"Where are you?"

Obviously, Chu Shisan was confused by this question.

"Master, you asked a tricky question, I never thought about it."

After all, who would go to the big demon for no reason.

"But I do know a little bit of where Xinghe Wucai is going."

"oh?"

These words immediately aroused Shi Li's interest.

"Xing He Wu Que...is actually a sword."

"And its owner is rumored to be a top demon extermination."

"So it can be said that among the big monsters, Xinghe Wuque is relatively the closest relative to the human race."

Except Thirteen said.

"According to the rumor? Where is the top demon extermination now?"

Shi Li asked curiously.

"I have no idea."

Unexpectedly, Chu Shisan shook his head, and suddenly his expression became nostalgic.

"It is said that tens of hundreds of years ago, a group of visitors from space suddenly descended."

"Their methods are brutal and ruthless, but the leader is extremely powerful."

"In order to protect our world, the human race and the demon race have joined forces in an unprecedented way."

Hearing this history, Shili's first reaction was alien invasion.

However, he always felt something strange in his mind, but he couldn't say it for a while.

"In order to defeat the leader outside that day, the five great demons and several top demon exterminators fought against him for ten days and ten nights."

"In the end, it was Xinghe Wuque's sword that cut it down."

"Without the leader, the remaining group of aliens were finally repelled."

"And the top demon extermination man at that time was holding Xinghe Wuque, and the sword he swung was called [Forgotten]."

"I remember that it was recorded in the books that that sword was an extremely powerful sword, a sword that opened up the world."

"But using this sword move has to pay a huge price, that is, it will be forgotten by the long river of history."

"To put it bluntly, all the memories and records related to it in the world have been erased."

Hearing this, Shi Li felt that this sounded a bit like a side effect of a superpower, but it was more exaggerated and outrageous.

At the same time, I couldn't help asking: "Since everything is erased, why do you still know about it?"

"That's why I said it was rumored."

"At that time, the big demon and the demon extermination were all top-notch in the world, so they resisted a little bit in front of the power of [Forgetting]."

"It's just that even so, they can barely recount part of the situation."

"Who is that person, what is his name, I don't remember all of them."

"The concept of [Forgetting] is also summed up afterwards."

"As for Xing He Wu Que, he disappeared after that battle."

"There are only vague rumors that someone has seen its traces in certain places."

"Because of the disappearance of the leader, the gold-type demon clan has been the most chaotic in recent years. Now there are rumors that they plan to re-elect a new leader."

"I don't know if this is true or when it will happen."

In the end, except Shisan Yitong, Shi Li was still disappointed.

After talking for a long time, isn't it just that the gold-type monster can't be found.

"Oh, it's already this time."

It wasn't until this time that Chu Shisan finally took a belated look at the sky.

After telling so many rumors about the demon world, now I feel thirsty and hungry after realizing it.

"..."

Shi Li now found out that this guy should have three personalities.

One is used to get rid of demons, one is used to gamble, and the other is used to live a bad life.

"Master, wait a moment, I want to take a shower and change, let's go to the casino."

Well, it really is living a bad life, not even eating for gambling.

While he was doing those pre-gambling ceremonies, Shi Li went to the street to eat something by himself.

Then the two went to yesterday's casino together.

"Master, you have to teach me well tonight, I don't want to lose again!"

When he came to the gate of the casino, Chu Shisan stopped.

"I'll teach you how to play cards, and you take me to eliminate demons, how about that?"

After waiting for so long, Shi Li knew that the time to negotiate the terms of exchange had finally come.

"Of course there's no problem. Didn't you follow last night?"

"You just need to stand far away and pay attention to safety."

In order to learn gambling skills, Di Shisan seemed quite generous.

"Well."

Shi Li nodded, and asked along the way: "When do you plan to investigate the source of the monster yesterday?"

He didn't forget his purpose of entering the dungeon.

"By the way, when you went out to eat just now, I received a notification from the Demon Elimination Mansion."

"It is said that there is no progress in the Yamen."

"It seems that this kind of thing still needs to be done by ourselves."

In addition to thirteen spread hands.

"Then you still come to gamble?"

Shi Li frowned.

"Haha, it's not the right time yet."

"Anyway, if you're idle, you're idle, let's just play around to kill time."

In addition to thirteen compensation laugh.

"Okay, but I have to tell you first."

"Learn to play cards with me, I have my taboos."

"You can only watch but not ask. How much you can learn depends on your own good luck."

Shi Li said so.

What a joke, he doesn't have much skill to teach mahjong.

But is it possible to tell the other party that you have clairvoyance?

Perhaps the most that can be taught is how to pretend to be aggressive at the poker table.

"Good master!"

The more the other party is like this, the more Chu Shisan will buy it.

Because it looks so tall and unpredictable!

So just like that, the two stepped into the casino again.

Leaving aside the process, they came out around midnight.

Except Shisan's face was the same as last night, full of smiles.

He didn't serve the table tonight, but had a great experience.

The reason is simple, Master helped me win money again!

Now, it's time to get down to business.

He took Shi Li all the way to the market where he was interrogated by the yamen servants during the day.

At this time, the market is naturally empty.

Nothing but moonlight.

"Last night, the man said that his portrait was bought from this market five days ago."

"So if we want to find the source of the monster, we must start from here."

"The moonlight is good tonight, just in time for business."

Except Shisan looked up and expressed his satisfaction.

"Among our means of eliminating demons, there is a secret technique called Moon Shadow Technique."

"Specially used to detect traces of evil spirit."

"Only an excellent demon exterminator can master it."

He made a fart expression.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up."

But Shi Li was not used to him.

"OK."

Except Shisan pretending to be coercive failed, and took out a yellow talisman from his pocket resentfully.

Accompanied by a long spell, his expression gradually became serious.

Demon Eliminator Personality, it's time to go online.

"go!"

After the spell was finished, the yellow talisman was thrown forward.

It burns as soon as it leaves the fingertips, and burns to ashes in mid-air.

While still making ashes, a blurry figure shrouded in moonlight appeared in front of the two of them.

【…】

The figure silently bowed to Chu Shisan, then sat up cross-legged on the spot.

A thread of light floated out from its body and landed on the ground.

The filaments of light in the dark night are clearly visible on the ground, meandering and gradually extending in a certain direction.

"The man shouldn't have lied. There has indeed been a monster here recently."

Chu Shisan pointed to the trace of light and introduced: "The aura of every monster in the world has its own uniqueness."

"In simple terms, it's like we know people by their appearance."

"Now we just need to follow this thread of light, and we should at least get some clues."

As a result, he had just finished speaking, and immediately saw that something was wrong.

Because sitting cross-legged on Guangying's body at this time, another ray of light split out, extending to other places.

"This monster...is there more than one?"

he asked.

"Yes, more than one."

But Chu Shisan stretched out his head to look at the new line, then waved his hand and said, "This is a guy you don't need to care about."

"Since the two races joined forces to resist the alien corps, the relationship between humans and demons has entered an unprecedented harmonious stage."

"Limited by the signed covenant, the two races of monsters are basically non-aggressive."

"Of course, the demon here refers to the spirit demon, that is, the kind with spiritual wisdom."

"The target of our demon extermination is those spiritless demons who have no intelligence and can only do evil, or spirit demons who commit crimes with malicious intent."

"Since the official establishment of diplomatic relations between human and monsters, occasionally some spirit monsters will come to our site to settle down."

"However, in order not to cause misunderstandings and disturbances, they usually disguise themselves as humans, and they must first be reported to the Demon Mansion."

"The owner of this evil spirit is one of them. He should just pass by the market to buy vegetables."

"I will occasionally play cards with it, and I will introduce it to you next time."

"It's a nice guy, and it keeps losing."

Hearing the last sentence, Shi Li couldn't help complaining: "The other way around, it should be because you always lose at cards that you think it's a good guy."

But before he could finish speaking, he saw a third ray of light appearing.

"Huh?"

Dividing Thirteen also found this situation.

Taking a closer look, the curved pattern of this light filament is not the monster I know.

Immediately afterwards, the fourth article, the fifth article, the sixth article...

Strips of light filaments were drawn out, and the volume of the light and shadow sitting cross-legged became smaller and smaller, as if it was about to be emptied gradually.

"No, I'm in big trouble now!"

After scanning those light threads one by one, he found that there were ten of them.

And there are only three of them that I know!

When did so many monsters come to the city at once? !

Thinking of this, he hastened to hit the magic spell towards the sitting cross-legged light and shadow.

With so much evil spirit, it cannot track all of them.

Right now, he can only choose a strange monster with the strongest breath.

"Master, this matter may be serious tonight."

"For safety reasons, why don't you go back first."

Looking at the evil spirit that gradually extended the farthest, Chu Shisan said solemnly.

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait to answer immediately, and disappeared into the night along the evil spirit.

Originally, Shi Li planned to follow, but almost at the same time, he heard a voice beside his ears.

[Ding dong! 】

[4 stages completed]

[Task stage 5, find and find a monster independently]

[Hint: Except Shisan doesn't trust you enough yet, maybe you need to show some other means]

"Is the 4th stage considered complete?"

Shi Li didn't expect that the 5th stage would change the previous rule that it must be linked to the thirteenth, and issue an independent action task for himself.

"But then again, what is the 'other way' method."

"Is this implying that I should stop playing mahjong all day?"

Shaking his head, he smiled wryly.

"But it seems a bit difficult for me to track it down by myself."

As Di Shisan walked away, the moon shadow technique released by him quickly dissipated.

Even if he could remember the distribution of those light filaments with his memory, he couldn't find the target clues if they didn't extend long enough.

"Fortunately, I haven't used the 1 chance of the follower card yet."

Then he thought of a card of his own.

[Wow! 】

Following a panel operation, the tall Beast Dog appeared in front of him with all its hair gone and its dry taupe skin exposed.

The only follower card that might be useful right now is this.

Beast Dog is already his follower card, so there is no need for Mushroom to translate it, he conveyed it with a thought in his mind.

[Wow! 】

The Beast Dog responded and started sniffing on the ground.

After sniffing carefully for about 5 minutes, it gave Shili a feedback.

In this land, there are eleven very special smells.

"It's actually really useful."

Shili patted its head appreciatively.

The eleven special smells almost match the number of light threads that appeared just now.

It's no wonder that there is a slight error. After all, it is not specially used to eliminate demons.

So let the beast dog choose one of the scents for himself.

Then follow it and start walking through the night.

One person and one dog are like this, after walking through the road for a few kilometers.

Came to a very ordinary family.

The beast dog, who had been reminded not to make a sound, tugged Shili's trousers with his mouth, and then wagged his tail aggressively.

It seems that this place is the final location of that smell.

"..."

Shi Li first looked around, and then looked at this family.

Although the house looks very ordinary, it is a one-story house with a tiled roof and is surrounded by short, half-person-high earthen walls.

But this family didn't look right at first sight.

Because of this time, everyone around turned on the lights and went to sleep.

Only this house is still lit.

After thinking about it, his first move was to pull out the hard iron rod in his trousers.

Even in the dim moonlight, you can still see wisps of immortal energy floating on its surface.

After listening to Shisan's introduction during the day, it was difficult for ordinary objects to cause too much damage to monsters.

So this iron rod should be his only effective weapon.

Walking to the window of this family, he dipped his finger in the saliva and poked it.

In the past, when watching TV dramas, ancient people always peeped like this.

It was only after poking it that he realized... It's not paper, it's cowhide.

...

...
