Chapter 331: Mermaid Tattoo

~7 min read 1,389 words

"Since we won, then next..."

Just as he was speaking, footsteps actually came from the stairs behind them; a third person had successfully arrived here.

Xia De and Miss Difa were greatly surprised, and the evil spirits and the captain were even more surprised. All the people and monsters that were originally hostile to each other now looked at the stairwell, and the first to see that person was Miss Difa, who was closest to the stairwell; she widened her eyes at once.

The third ring sorcerer who broke in here had already taken off his mask, just like Xia De and Miss Difa, and they actually recognized that face. This was Mr. Dac Nisi, who played cards with Xia De in the tavern this afternoon and cheated using despicable means.

Although he didn't know what means he used to get here, his left half of his body seemed to be covered by wriggling darkness and shadows. The man's complexion was very poor, and there were traces of dirty blood on the normal half of his body.

Miss Difa just wanted to open her mouth to ask him to come and help together, but she didn't expect the middle-aged man to just glance at the situation here and immediately retreat backward. The fading footsteps meant that Mr. Dac Nisi had actually run away.

"The last time three people in a batch walked here was 1500 years ago."

The captain's hoarse, low voice made Xia De realize that the danger had not yet been lifted. Amidst the restless whispers of the evil spirits, he turned around and took Miss Difa's hand, giving her a look to relax, and then they walked to the table together.

Xia De sat down on an empty chair at the end of the long table, directly opposite the captain, who had an exceptionally ugly appearance. Miss Difa stood behind Xia De, placing her hand on the back of the chair, bathing in the golden light on him.

The subsequent gambling duel would be conducted by Xia De; she really didn't have the mental energy to sit at the same table with the sailors and the captain unscathed.

The wooden table in front of them also looked like it had some years on it; the table legs were full of silt, and the tabletop, filled with various delicacies, was a mix of black and brown. Although the wood hadn't rotted yet and looked very sturdy, one could immediately smell the scent of decay upon getting close.

This smell made Xia De even hungrier, even making him have the thought of tasting whether the wood was delicious at a certain moment.

No one stopped him from sitting down; having won the duel, he had the qualification to sit down.

"I want to leave here."

Xia De said, his hands clasped together and placed on the table, not looking at the captain's face.

"Gamble a round with me; if you win, you leave, if you lose, you sit here forever."

The captain pressed his hands on the table, and the whispers of the surrounding evil spirits became denser. The skull chandelier above was swaying, and eerie laughter entered his ears from nowhere.

"Sit here forever" should mean boarding the ship; if Xia De lost, he would also become a part of this ship.

"Wait, I also want to take this companion of mine away; we came here together."

He pointed behind him again.

"Then let her also gamble with me."

"I will gamble with you in her place; we can gamble a bit bigger."

Xia De said again. In front of him was a golden basin filled with milky white fish soup. Although he didn't know why these foods had no scent, just by looking at it, he couldn't help it anymore.

The sound from his stomach due to hunger was continuous; he even felt he could feel his intestines and stomach wriggling in dissatisfaction. Although the food in front of him had no taste, seeing it, he couldn't help but think of the high-end restaurant he went to with Miss Lu Yi Sha last time with self-prepared ingredients, thinking of the taste of the delicious fish soup.

"Facing this kind of situation, you actually still want to take someone away together?"

The captain wearing the tricorn hat laughed loudly, and the strange sailor evil spirits around the table also began to roar with laughter. Their laughter made the ship begin to shake; the captain, the evil spirits, and the ship were one, and everyone was part of the relic.

"Can, since you want to gamble bigger, why not make it even bigger. If you win, I will let everyone on your ship leave."

Amidst that irritating laughter, the captain said, but Xia De shook his head immediately.

The bigger the bet, the less likely he was to win. Although he sympathized with other people involved in this accident, he didn't want to make himself and Miss Difa unable to leave because of this.

When he could help others, he would naturally help, but this time it wasn't rolling dice where the probability was mostly around 10, but rolling dice where the probability was mostly less than five.

"No, I only gamble for myself and the companion behind me."

Xia De emphasized.

"That's not up to you."

He tore open the buttons of his shirt, but what was revealed was not a body covered in scars, but a thin, weak body like a mummy. The surface of the mummy was full of fish scales, and on the shriveled gray chest, there was a black mermaid tattoo the size of a forearm. The mermaid on the tattoo originally had its eyes closed, but the next moment its eyes opened abruptly. The originally beautiful face became evil, and subsequently, the mermaid detached itself from the captain's scale-covered body, jumped onto the table, and then disappeared abruptly.

"Gamble three rounds; if you win two rounds, I will let all of you leave. If you don't gamble, then let the woman behind you gamble for her freedom with me herself. First round, you guess, where is that mermaid hidden in which plate?"

The captain pointed to the table with his chest exposed just like that:

"First round, if you win, I will give you the method to lift the hunger state. If you guess wrong, eat what you guessed. This is the first round; if you lose, you eat what you guessed."

The restless evil spirits were roaring with laughter, and the cold wind made Xia De, who had started to tremble due to excessive hunger, feel even more uncomfortable. Miss Difa's hand was placed on his shoulder at this time. He turned his head to look up, his emerald green eyes meeting hers.

Once, the black-haired maid Miss Difa had also looked at Xia De like this; it had to be admitted that that maid was the person with the best figure Xia De knew in this world.

Miss Difa didn't say anything, but her eyes made Xia De feel much more at ease; this time he wasn't alone.

He knew that saying anything couldn't refuse the captain's malicious expansion of the bet. He turned his head to look at the captain with fish-like features on the other side of the table, golden light traces drifting toward the surroundings like sparks with his movements:

"I will gamble with you, but you must swear to your god that once I win two rounds, you will let everyone on the cruise ship leave."

"No problem, swear to my master, the 【Infinite Change】, if you win, you can all leave!"

"That's good."

Xia De's eyes stared at the table, asking in his heart:

"Where is it?"

【The traces of the elements are very obvious, the silver basin on the left hand side, under those white breads.】

"Under the white bread."

Xia De said.

"You guessed wrong."

The captain laughed, and at the same time, the voice in his heart reminded him again:

【It changed position, now it's under that plate of roasted meat.】

"In the roast..."

"Only one chance, you lost the first round!"

Saying this with a wave of his hand, that flat mermaid tattoo flew directly out of the roasted meat and stuck back onto the captain's chest. ===== CHAPTER 332 =====
