Chapter 73.1 Blatant Scheme (1/2)
Chapter 73.1 Blatant Scheme (1/2)
Wang Ke knew Tong An’an and Northern Gambling God were plotting against him. That was why he was extremely careful. He thought about many possibilities, but he never expected them to stop hiding in the dark: they finally acted in the open!
They kicked me into the pool while everyone was watching?
Wang Ke was well-versed with war strategies, but he was still too careless. He thought that the demons had put in so much effort to set him up for something else; they totally caught him off-guard by directly shoving him into the pool!
Was there a need for all those tricks if you just wanted to drop me in the pool? Calling me ‘Brother Wang’ with great hospitality, then intentionally losing money to me. You even helped me to win the Sacred Child’s money.Did you have to do all this? You could have just shoved me here from the start!
That move was completely out of Wang Ke’s expectations.
The venomous snakes rushed toward Wang Ke when they saw him falling into the pool.
Wang Ke instinctively tried to swim back up. But the next moment, he came to a realization.
It won’t do. Northern Gambling God and his people already kick me down so blatantly. They will kick me back into the pool the moment I swim back onto the bank. Now that they openly declared their hostility, there’s no way I can swim back! Wang Ke thought grimly.
He turned to look at the surrounding crowd, but was unable to see Northern Gambling God and his followers.
What happened?Didn’t you change your plan to openly harm me?Where are you people?
Wang Ke was confused. Are those schemers still hiding in the crowd?Could it be that they’re still afraid of exposing themselves?
If they are, why the hell would they act while everyone is watching?
No, something’s not right.They could be worried that other demons might gossip about them. Are they trying not not to expose their intentions?
If I swim back like this, I’ll be forcing them to move and try to stop me from getting out!But if I don’t go back… Do I have to stay here and wait for the snakes to bite me?
“Aiyo, someone jumped into the Ten-thousand Serpent Pool to rescue that child?” someone shouted.
That remark was an immediate source of inspiration for Wang Ke.
That’s right! The demons plotting against me don’t want me to reach the edge of the pool, and neither do they want to expose themselves. But there’s no way they can stop me if I have a legitimate excuse, there’s no way they can stop me!The other demons who don’t know about their plan will surely support me!
Rescue the kid. I should rescue the kid first!
Wang Ke came to a clear conclusion and swam back toward the center of the Ten-thousand Serpent Pool.
“He’s really going to rescue the child!”
“Who is that person? He looks like Brother Wang…”
“Brother Wang just came to the Divine Dragon Island. To actually jump down to rescue the child without hesitation, at the risk of his life even! And he doesn’t even know who the child is!”
“Brother Wang, risking his life for a child of ours. He’s a true model for the demonic sect!”
“Such a brave and sacrificial spirit!”

…………………..
………..
The demons by the edge of the pool sighed in amazement.
Only Zhu Yan was dumbstruck.
What’s happening? Wang Ke, I kicked you into the pool, and yet you go and try to rescue the child without hesitation? This is not like you! Saving others at your own expense? Why? Zhu Yan was at a total loss.
“Ahh, the snakes are biting him!” a demon said. He was worried for Wang Ke.
The snakes blanketed Wang Ke. It only took an instant for a dozen snakes to bite him.
Wang Ke was barely able to muster some strength due to the array suppressing him. He could only swim around like an ordinary person. Not even the turbid essence Qi could be released from his body.
But even if the turbid essence Qi couldn’t leave his body, it could still remain under his skin, hiding inside the pores. Just like a sponge filled with water, his body was filled with the turbid essence Qi.
Wang Ke wasn’t afraid of snake bites; he was already immune to all poisonous materials, including snake venom.
“Ummm!”
The snakes bit Wang Ke as if he were a springy sponge. The sponge was all right, but the water in the pores was being squeezed out; the turbid essence Qi inside Wang Ke’s pores filled the snakes’ mouths.
“Kraaaaak!”
A thunderclap shook the snakes’ minds. Those that had bitten Wang Ke immediately experienced humanity’s hostility in full.
Damn, how vicious!
I only bit you. Why the need to harm me like this?What did you fill my mouth with?
“Blup, blup, blup!”
All the venomous snakes that had bitten Wang Ke rolled their eyes and floated on the surface, unconscious.
Wang Ke continued to swim toward the center of the pool. Everywhere he passed, batch after batch of snakes floated on the water, belly upward and twitching.
“Brother Wang, be careful!” the demons looking from the edge warned him.
“Lots of snakes are biting Brother Wang!”
“Yeah, but why do they stop moving after they bite him?”
“Yeah, aren’t the snakes in the Ten-thousand Serpent Pool the most ferocious and venomous? What is happening?”
“Brother Wang is going to swim over despite all the snake bites? That’s something I couldn’t have done if it were me!”
“Such bravery!”
………………………….
………………
……….
The demons by the edge were amazed by Wang Ke; none of them had dared jump into the pool.
“Help me! Are all of you blind? Come and save me!” the little boy in the pool cried out.
The snakes were biting away at the child too. I can’t hold on much longer… It’s over for me.Am I going to die?
“Boohoo! Someone save me! Save me! I’m the Sacred Child. Save me!” the little boy shouted desperately.
His entire body was turning purple; the pain from the snake bites was overwhelming.
But then, he saw someone jump into the pool without hesitation and swim toward him.
Finally! Is someone coming to save me at last?
