Chapter 234 Little Black Has Grown Up
Three more months have passed since the storms and turmoil of the outside world began.
One day, the group was playing a gambling game called "Pai Gow" that Zhu Chongjiu had recently invented.
All that could be heard was Zhu Chongjiu laughing loudly at the crowd, "Ninth Prince, kill them all! Kill them all!"
Looking at the crowd who had been losing for five days and five nights, Zhu Chongjiu continued with a smile, "Sorry everyone, I'm just so lucky, there's nothing I can do about it."
Come on, come on, place your bets now!
The more you bet, the more you win; openly buy a big truck!
However, at this moment, one of the Heavenly Lord-level sea monsters playing cards said to Zhu Chongjiu with a dejected look, "Ninth Brother, let's stop playing."
I've been losing for a whole day and night. If I keep losing, you'll win all my savings!
As soon as the demon king finished speaking, more than a dozen demon kings immediately echoed, "We're not playing anymore, we're not playing anymore, I've almost lost all the money I borrowed."
If I keep losing like this, I'll have to go mining in the "Dead Eye" to pay off my debts.
Zhu Chongjiu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he quickly advised, "Don't do that!"
This thing isn't fun if there aren't enough people.
"How about this, I'll lend you the money, and you can pay me back once you've made your money back, okay?"
As he spoke, he took out a lot of immortal crystals from his storage ring and asked everyone to write IOUs.
Xiao Rou and Xiong Da, who hadn't participated in the gambling, witnessed this scene. Xiao Rou sighed helplessly, "Okay!"
If things continue like this, Ninth Brother will probably have to win back half of the Dead Black Sea.
When the demons saw Zhu Chongjiu take out money to lend to them, their eyes immediately turned red again, and they all began to sign IOUs, ignoring the interest rate Zhu Chongjiu mentioned.
"No wonder Brother Jiu once told everyone that nine out of ten gambling games are fraudulent."
Once you're hooked, there's no turning back!
Seeing this, Xiong Da agreed with Xiao Rou's earlier statement and replied.
However, just as the next round was about to begin, Zhu Chongjiu's expression froze, and then he said to everyone with a smile, "Sorry, let's call it a day."
My brother is about to be released from quarantine, so I need to go and keep an eye on him.
As he spoke, he didn't forget to gather the chips that everyone had bet on into his own pocket.
Seeing that there were no more immortal crystals on the table, Zhu Chongjiu turned over his card—"Your Highness and Your Majesty!"
Tianjiu is the biggest, it wins everything.
After saying that, his figure disappeared from the spot and rushed towards the sea.
All that was left were a group of people, disheveled and lost in the sea.
After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, the other little ones also went out together.
On the way, Xiao Jin rubbed his hands together and said to Zhu Chongjiu with a grin, "Brother Jiu, how much did you win?"
It was agreed beforehand that it would be split 30/70.
Xiao Mu and Xiao Lei nodded in agreement, but Xiao Tu finally realized what was going on and angrily shouted at everyone, "Huh? So you guys were cheating together?"
Your actions have made me feel extremely ashamed.
How am I, a local deity known for my integrity, supposed to survive in the world after this?
Unless... you share some with me too!
Upon hearing Xiao Tu's words, Xiao Rou muttered to herself, "Shameless."
A moment later, Zhu Chongjiu led the little ones to the void above the Dead Black Sea and released Little Black from his storage ring.
Then he saw that the cosmic clouds that had previously enveloped Xiao Hei's entire body had now been absorbed into his body.
Xiao Hei's eyes were tightly closed, its lips trembled slightly, and wisps of black mist were constantly emanating from its body.
It looked as if it was enduring immense pain.
"Ninth Brother, can we help Brother Hei?"
Seeing Xiao Hei's current state, Xiao Tu asked Zhu Chongjiu with some heartache.
"No, he has to do this himself."
If outsiders get involved, they might end up hurting Xiao Hei.
After all, none of us know anything about the ancient mythical beast, Zhouju.
Just as Zhu Chongjiu finished answering Xiao Tu, Xiao Hei suddenly opened his eyes and began to roar to the sky!
Upon seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu waved his sleeve and led everyone away at a rapid pace.
Because Xiao Hei's roar was the result of using his innate divine power, "Dragon's Roar Shatter".
Moreover, this was an indiscriminate attack launched by Xiao Hei while he was unconscious.
Although no one was seriously injured by Xiao Hei's roar, it still gave them a headache.
As Xiao Hei continued to roar, its body began to change.
The original body, which was about ten feet long, instantly grew larger.
A short while later, Xiao Hei's figure had grown to a size of a million feet.
Those forces that remained near the Dead Black Sea also witnessed this scene.
Most people didn't know Xiao Hei's identity, but a very few did, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's the ancient divine beast, Zhouju!"
It's an ancient mythical beast that disappeared millions of years ago.
It is truly an honor to meet you today!
After the man finished speaking, some people around him who were unaware of the situation asked him for the reason.
The man then began to proudly display his vast knowledge, which he considered the most impressive in the world.
After speaking, he didn't forget to explain to everyone: "I've long heard that this young human has a divine beast, the Celestial Steed, by his side."
I didn't believe it at first.
After all, it was a species that had disappeared millions of years ago.
But I saw it with my own eyes today, so it seems the rumors were true.
Just as the man finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he roared, "Run!"
Before the words were even finished, the person had already disappeared.
Before anyone could understand what was happening, a deafening sound suddenly resounded in their minds.
The sound caused everyone to have splitting headaches, and some people with low strength or weak mental power were even knocked unconscious upon contact with it.
Because at this time, apart from some immortal lords and heavenly lords, there were only a few immortal lords and heavenly lords who remained near the Dead Black Sea.
The spiritual power of the other Heavenly Kings, Immortal Kings, or even lower-ranking humans and immortals was vastly different from that of Zhu Chongjiu and his group.
Xiao Hei's roaring lasted for more than ten minutes before it stopped.
Zhu Chongjiu and his group rushed towards Xiao Hei the moment he stopped barking.
Little Gold, which was smaller than a single eyelash of Little Black, floated in front of Little Black and said to him happily, "Great job, Brother Black!"
It's getting cooler and cooler!
"If you level up two more times, you'll soon have my kind of imposing presence."
As soon as Xiao Jin finished speaking, Xiao Hei's body instantly shrank back to about ten feet in size.
Then, under the strange gazes of the crowd, it slowly transformed into the appearance of a human.
Looking at Xiao Hei, who had transformed into the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, Zhu Chongjiu stepped forward and examined him carefully.
His slightly dark face was paired with long, jet-black hair, which was casually draped over his shoulders.
He wore a long, jet-black robe, and under the reflection of the light, one could vaguely make out the shape of diamond-shaped armor plates.
Before Zhu Chongjiu could speak, Xiao Mu walked up to Xiao Hei, who was a head taller than him, looked him up and down, and then pinched his cheek to comment.
"Um!
His appearance is alright; he didn't embarrass my team.
Before Xiaomu could finish speaking, someone reached out and pulled her aside, while continuing to comment on what Xiaomu had said.
"Indeed, it's just that wearing your hair down like that doesn't look good; it makes you look a bit older."
After Xiao Lei finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhu Chongjiu, as if to say, "You should bring something out, right?"
Zhu Chongjiu, who was behind the crowd, thought about the old man's attire and began rummaging through his storage ring.
At the same time, he also asked the rat Guangwei, who was always in the storage ring, to help him search.
Because Haozi Guangwei was always in Zhu Chongjiu's storage ring, he remembered most of the items in the ring.
Sometimes, when he was bored, he would even automatically sort and organize the rare and precious materials that Zhu Chongjiu had put into his ring.
After all, he was once a Celestial King, so he has the eye to identify treasures.
A moment later, Haozi Guangwei handed Zhu Chongjiu a crown made of some kind of crystal.
Zhu Chongjiu looked at the crown that Haozi Guangwei handed him. It was jet black, but there seemed to be some dark green light flowing inside.
As Zhu Chongjiu examined the crown, Haozi Guangwei explained, "Brother Jiu, this crown is made of 'Zhoujing Moyu' (a type of black jade).
This cosmic crystal black jade can only be formed within cosmic clouds, and the conditions for its formation are extremely demanding, making it extremely rare.
It's a perfect match for Little Black.
After saying that, he didn't forget to give Zhu Chongjiu a thumbs up.
Upon hearing Haozi Guangwei's introduction, Zhu Chongjiu was overjoyed to see the headdress.
Before you leave, don't praise Haozi Guangwei. Just tell him to do a good job. If he does well, he'll eventually get out.
