In just a few breaths, Norton had rushed hundreds of ters forward, and he saw the full form of the giant creature.
It was a blood-red vine that towered five or six stories high, continuously growing. Nurous tendrils extended from its roots in all directions, coiling around the corpses of the town’s gamblers, which were then devoured into the vine’s main body, slowly crushed, absorbed, and turned into its nourishnt.
"As expected!"
"Jamie, destroy that Blood Vine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the notary at Norton’s side pushed off the ground, launching himself with imnse force. A three-ter giant sword appeared in his hand, ready to slash at the blood-red vine!
But at that mont, a cold voice suddenly echoed in Norton’s ear.
"You really have confidence in yourself."
Upon hearing the voice, Norton felt a chill rush straight to his head. In shock, he looked up to see a figure resembling a demon with wings open, emanating a black mist, staring down at him.
The calm, well-like black eyes looked down at him condescendingly.
At the mont of eye contact, a sense of extre danger surged in Norton’s heart!
Before he could think, a demon’s fist rapidly enlarged before him!
Instinctively, he barely managed to block it before the fist slamd into him! The next mont, the excruciating pain of broken bones flooded his mind!
"Boom!"
With a massive collision sound, Norton’s arms snapped, and he was sent flying like a ragdoll, crashing heavily against a wall!
He lay limp in the rubble, his face still reflecting disbelief and terror, his mind almost stalled, only the continuous pain throughout reminding him of the terrifying power of that punch!
With just one punch, he, who was blessed by the Gambling God at the peak of the Fierce Tier, was shattered!
"Boom!"
Another loud noise erupted beside him, as the disassembled notary was thrown over, collapsing another wall.
At that mont, the last sliver of hope in his heart vanished.
"Baron, what kind of monster did you provoke!"
In the final mont of his life, Norton had only this thought.
"Bang!"
A Demon’s Hand descended from the sky, smashing his head.
A large amount of items burst out, and Chu Xiu casually swept them up.
"As expected of a knight, a single person’s wealth amounts to a full six hundred tokens, along with plenty of high-grade equipnt and artifacts."
Chu Xiu displayed a satisfied smile.
Of course, all of this was expected; what surprised him was that the Blood Vine’s effect far exceeded his expectations!
Chu Xiu could feel that under the power of the Blood Vine, his body’s repair speed had reached an astonishing level, allowing him to use Demon Energy Infusion without limits!
This was also why he could so easily deal with the notary, whose constitution was as high as a thousand.
After all, the notary only had high basic attributes, without any troubleso skills or traits.
And terrifyingly, according to the information from the Blood Vine, its current growth wasn’t even a third of what it could achieve!
"No wonder it’s a mythical level artifact!"
"And the limitation of requiring new growth every ti strengthens its effect beyond ordinary mythical artifacts!"
With the Blood Vine as a backup, Chu Xiu had no worries at all; he didn’t believe anyone in this re Fierce Tier trial could kill him within the Blood Vine’s domain.
Without hesitation, Chu Xiu charged out, quickly hunting down the town’s Guard Team and the remaining four Knight Gamblers.
Maintaining Demon Energy Infusion throughout, he reached a terrifyingly efficient level of slaughter, soon exterminating all enemies. Their souls caused the number of fierce ghosts to skyrocket again, approaching three hundred!
Their bodies naturally beca nourishnt for the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine, allowing it to grow further.
The vast city, in less than a quarter of an hour, turned completely into a ghost town!
"Now then..."
Chu Xiu looked toward the direction of the castle.
"Only the last trouble remains to be dealt with."
...
anwhile, in the Golden Hall.
The gambling ga beca increasingly fierce, already reaching the twenty-third round.
Since Lin Ji made a fortune in the last hand of poker, his luck not only hadn’t stopped, but was getting better! Winning streak!
This brought his total to over six hundred tokens. The more he gambled, the more confident he beca, raising the stakes in every hand. Several tis, even with a bad hand, his montum forced the Baron to fold directly.
He seed to have beco the protagonist of the Golden Hall.
"You’ve won a lot, it’s about ti to call it quits." Song Lichuan patted him on the shoulder.
"What’s the rush," Lin Ji grinned, "Even if we lose, we still get tokens, so we’ll never actually lose out."
"My luck is great right now, let’s keep going a few more rounds! It’s not too late to leave when I start losing!"
Song Lichuan didn’t persuade any further, though a trace of worry crossed his eyes. He felt a vague unease inside, sensing that he might have missed sothing important, and instinct told him the Baron was brewing so sche.
But upon reflection, Lin Ji’s reasoning made sense. Even if they lost all their tokens, as long as they maintained the "bottom line" to pass the trial, everyone would gain big.
Besides, throughout many gas, the Baron hadn’t shown any signs of cheating; he couldn’t find any evidence to support his "intuition."
