Chapter Thirty-Seven: Buy Your Own Win!

  Yinling Ancient Road's four special buildings: Life and Death Arena, Hunting Grounds, Happy Forest, Yinling Tower.

  The most arenas of life and death, the largest hunting grounds, the liveliest Happy Woods, and the noblest Dark Spirit Tower.

  This only hunting ground, located in the southern part of the Spirit Ancient Road, is a hundred miles around, with broken walls and various types of vegetation everywhere.

  In these ancient, crumbling buildings and dense foliage, the spirits of those who died long ago left behind their skeletons, while the newly dead had bodies that had just begun to rot, filling the entire hunting ground with the stench of blood and death.

  Apart from those who cultivate the Dark Soul-type Xian Gong, no one likes this kind of environment. Even if you just bring it for a short while, you will feel uncomfortable in your body.

  Of course, except for yin spirits.

  The living and the dead, life and death in opposition.

  This place is the land of Yin spirits, all buildings are ultimately serving the Yin spirits, creating killing, producing dead air, making the entire ancient path of Yin spirits into a sacred place for Yin spirit cultivation.

  The hunting ground is rarely open, but once it's opened, it means that hundreds and thousands of lives will engage in a bloody feast, where the winners enjoy glory and the losers pay with their lives.

  The last time the hunting ground was opened, it was a month ago.

  And the most terrifying solo hunt has not been opened for a year.

  When the news of the unique hunting opening spread throughout the entire Spirit Ancient Road, everyone was boiling.

  "Have you heard? The hunting grounds have opened!" a mysterious yin spirit said.

  He is not tall in stature, with delicate facial features and a calm expression that reveals nothing of his inner thoughts. A person like this must have meticulous thinking and be extremely deep-minded.

  "It's just a hunt, what's the big deal? Every month, you can see one, I've seen dozens of times already!" Another yin spirit said disdainfully.

  He is tall and sturdy, with a rough face and a muscular body. He has a simple mind and great strength, undoubtedly a wild man from the East.

  "Haha, you think it's just an ordinary hunt? I'll tell you, this time the only hunt has begun!"

  "What? The only hunting? Really fake?"

  "Of course it's true! It's been a year, finally can see the only hunting again!"

  "Haha, last time was the only hunt, that guy called 'Knife Slave' was really fierce! Seventh Treasure Realm first level, Sun Copper Bone, actually slaughtered more than 40 prey, including two same-level cultivators!"

  "Unfortunately, he still died, besieged to death! Do you know that this time's only hunting is different from the others?"

  "What's different now?"

  "Haha, this time there are five hunters! One of them is even a Triple Void Refiner, and has only condensed one drop of Blood Essence!"

  "A drop of blood essence? Isn't this seeking death?"

  "Who says it isn't?! I guess I must have offended someone."

  "By the way, who are you planning on winning this time? The hunter or the prey?"

  "Haha, I bought Cheung Ying! His overall rating is the highest! You don't know yet, this time the opening odds, because there are five hunters, so you can buy who wins specifically! And this time's five hunters are Cheung Ying, Fung Huo Lin Sing, Toxic Snake, Butcher and Cho Sang!"

  "Beacon fires linked cities? He's going to war? Then I'll bet on his victory!"

  ……

  The two spirits were in a heated discussion when suddenly a low voice sounded.

  "Excuse me, where can I place a bet?"

  The two turned their heads and saw a young man wearing a mask, they both laughed.

  "New here? Want to go place a bet? Just in time, we're going too, together?" one of them said.

  "Alright." The young man nodded.

  After chatting for a few sentences, Chu Cheng had figured out the names of these two people.

  One is called Yin Wu, and the other is called You Quan.

  Yin spirits ancient way, almost all yin spirits, have only three surnames.

  Shade, spirit, secluded.

  Three people arrived at the entrance of the hunting ground, a black obsidian sculpture, lifelike. The sculpture was of a middle-aged general, wearing dark armor, carrying a long sword on his back, standing with his hands tied behind him.

  His eyes gazed into the distance, as if looking out at some place, nostalgic or waiting for someone important.

  Anyone who sees this sculpture will feel an inexplicable surge of tragic and magnificent feelings from the bottom of their heart.

  This is an immortal masterpiece, and the carver must be a great master.

  "This is the creator of the Dark Spirit Ancient Path, the great Dark Spirit Emperor, personally carved statue. As for who carved it, very few people know. However, since it can make the Dark Spirit Emperor personally carve a memorial, it must be a great person." Yin Wu's expression was solemn.

  Dark Emperor!

  The great figure who created the Dark Spirit Ancient Road, an unparalleled powerhouse in the Realm of the Gods!

  "This statue, with its extraordinary magical power, has been steeped in the dark spiritual energy of the ancient path for three thousand years. It is said to have already become a spirit vessel. Its existence can intimidate evil spirits, protect the entire hunting ground, and prevent anyone from causing chaos." Youquan glanced at Chucheng: "In the past, there was a human strongman of the Five Elements realm who wanted to destroy the hunting ground, but ended up dying an untimely death."

  Yuquan's gaze was clearly a warning to Chucheng, never to provoke trouble.

  "In the morning, we bow three times to the statue, and then we can enter the casino." Yin Wu first gestured, bent down, bowed three times to the statue, and a ray of light flashed by, disappearing.

  "You too, come with me." Yuquan also followed and bowed three times, disappearing from sight.

  "Is it an illusion or a teleportation array?" Chu Cheng couldn't see through it and didn't care about these things, so he simply bowed three times.

  A flash of light passed by, and Chu Cheng's eyes involuntarily narrowed.

  When I opened my eyes again, I had arrived at a dark place.

  This is a very large hall, but there is only a little bit of light.

  In the center of the hall, seven clusters of light floated, each a different color.

  In each cluster of light, there are several large characters shining.

  "Dark Eagle!"

  "Beacon fires linking cities!"

  "Massacre the city!"

  "Poisonous snake!"

  "Chu Sheng!"

  "Prey!"

  "All will perish!"

  "What does it mean?" Chu Cheng frowned.

  "Each name represents a result: he will win! If you bet on the dark eagle and it wins, just put the gold coins into the corresponding light group, that's all. The light group is wonderful, automatically recording the person who made the bet and how much they bet." Yin Wudao.

  He stretched out his hand and threw a small pile of gold coins into "Cangying", which means he is optimistic about Cangying.

  "If the Dark Eagle dies, I won't be able to get my gold coins back. If the Dark Eagle ultimately becomes the only winner, then all of my gold coins will be returned, and those who bet on other outcomes will have their gold coins pooled together, with 10% taken out as the casino's commission, and the remaining 90% distributed among us who bet on 'Dark Eagle' according to our betting ratio." Yin Wu explained.

  "Right, who are you voting for? Why don't we vote for 'Fenghuo Liancheng' together, he's extremely powerful. At least ten Qi Bao realm cultivators have died at his hands." Youquan also took out a small pile of gold coins and threw them into "Fenghuo Liancheng".

  Who threw it?

  Chu Cheng smiled slightly.

  Does he have other choices?

  Of course vote for yourself!

  If you lose, it's death, what's the use of gold coins?

  If you win, you can only get a share by voting for yourself!

  In front of Chu City, he took out the crystal card, activated it, and a large pile of gold coins flew into the light group representing "Chu Sheng".

  "Wow, I couldn't tell, you're still a big shot? With that huge pile, it's at least worth millions of gold coins, right?"

  "Heaven, you sent 'Chu Sheng'?"

  Yin Wu and You Quan exclaimed at the same time.

  However, their focus is clearly different.

  Yin Wu was amazed at the wealth of Chu City, while You Quan was shocked that Chu City had actually cast "Chu Sheng"!

  Chu Cheng smiled slightly.

  To increase the bottom card, Chucheng bought too many materials and spent a lot of gold coins. In the end, only 12 million gold coins were left. Compared to the original 300 million, it was simply a drop in the bucket.

  "Who are you?" Yuquan frowned tightly.

  No one would vote for "Chu Sheng" because everyone knew that Chu Sheng had only refined a single drop of blood essence, and his strength was too weak. How could such a waste possibly survive the only hunt?

  It's absolutely impossible!

  If there is someone who will buy "Chu Sheng" stock and win, then this person can only be "Chu Sheng" himself!

  "It's said that 'Chu Sheng' is a young man, not very tall, with three layers of extraordinary aura, condensed into a single drop of blood essence... and this is his first time coming to the Ancient Nether Path..." Yuquan's eyes flickered incessantly.

  A bold conjecture surged into his mind.

  "Chu Sheng! You're Chu Sheng!" Yuquan exclaimed.

  "What? Chu Sheng? Is he Chu Sheng?" Yin Wu was taken aback and looked up and down at Chu Cheng.

  "It can't be!" Yin Wu shook his head.

  "Is there anything like that? Think about it, who else would buy 'Chu Sheng' besides Chu Sheng himself?" Youquan stared straight at Chucheng: "I didn't expect you to be 'Chu Sheng'."

  "Huh? It seems so. Are you really 'Chu Sheng'?" Yin Wu still had some doubts.

  With a faint smile, Chu Cheng nodded slightly.

  "What? Are you out of your mind? You actually went to participate in the Unique Hunt? And became a hunter?" Yin Wu exclaimed.

  It's just as well that the hunt hasn't started yet, and there's still some time to go, so there aren't many people here. The only ones present are five masked figures in the corner, who don't react at all to Yin Wu's exclamation.

  "Keep your voice down!" Yuquan frowned, then looked at Chucheng and said: "Chu Sheng, your strength is too weak. This time, it's absolutely a death sentence! I think you must have been forced to do this."

  Forced?

  Chu Cheng smiled wryly to himself.

  He was indeed forced, but not by others, but by himself.

  Can't bear to watch Dongfang Ye die, can't bear to watch Dongfang Ye forever lose the opportunity to advance to the Divine Realm, can't bear to see Dongfang Xiang'er sad, can't bear to see old man Dongfang send off his black-haired son.

  Regardless of Dongfang Ye's life and future?

  He can't get past his own barrier.

  In this case, perhaps many people will be indifferent and turn a blind eye, such as Jiugongzi and Huang Tiancang.

  But Chu Cheng won't.

  So he came and joined the only hunt.

  "I'm going to get ready." Chu Cheng smiled slightly.

  "Wishing you good luck." Yin Wu's eyes were very complicated, with admiration, pity and confusion.

  "Good luck!" Yuquan gave Chucheng a deep look.
