Volume 4 The Stormy Waves Chapter 377 All or Nothing
The fight with the sea ghost again still ended with the sea ghost being killed.
At the end of the battle, Tie Niu checked the bullets and said to Poplar: "There are only three bullets left, we really have to find a way to get out of here quickly!"
Poplar didn't say a word, just thinking about the thought that crossed his mind before.
But this kind of thing is so infuriating, the more I want to think about it, the more I can't figure it out, and when I don't think about it, it will suddenly pop up.
But knowing this, I couldn't help but think about it, so that I couldn't sleep at the thought of being dizzy.
Everyone in the world is like this, and Poplar is no exception.
As a result, that night, the poplar brain was tossed and turned, and he finally fell asleep, and he also had a strange dream all night.
The next day, he still couldn't remember, Tie Niu saw that Bai Yang's eyebrows were tightly locked and he was quite haggard, so he had to persuade him: "If you don't think about it, if you continue like this, don't think about that thought, you will go crazy yourself!"
Bai Yang smiled reluctantly, he didn't really want to think about it, but he couldn't help but not want to.
However, there was nothing to do in this place, and there was nothing to eat, so it was impossible to divert his attention, so Tie Niu simply dragged the poplar to the island to swim, and the poplar was also not interested.
After more than half a day like this, Poplar thought that he would have another battle with the sea ghost when it got dark, so he simply lay on the hillside and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Iron Bull held the damn psychic orb in his hand, and together with Haizhu, he was still trying to use all sorts of unbelievable methods to make the orb sense their wishes.
But the bead never moved.
Tie Niu didn't have much patience, so he couldn't help but grab the bead and was about to throw it on the ground, so frightened that Haizhu hurriedly grabbed his hand and shouted, "What are you doing? Once the bead is smashed, we won't even have any hope!"
Tie Niu is just a throw, no matter how irritable he is, he will not mess around in this life-and-death matter.
So as soon as Haizhu screamed, he withdrew his hand and said, "This bead is so annoying, just smash it, we don't have to waste our efforts so much!"
As soon as he said a word, Poplar sat up abruptly and said happily, "I remember?"
"What do you remember? is that ...... What you said Redbeard couldn't have tried?" Iron Bull asked, hurriedly walking over to Poplar with the Psychic Orb.
"Yes!" Poplar nodded, looking at Tie Niu with excitement on his face, "Redbeard is right, as long as we can think of a solution, they must have tried all of them! And there are nearly thirty of them, and they must be able to think of any unbelievable way, so no matter how much we try, it will be in vain! But there is one method, Redbeard has not tried 100%!"
"What's the solution?" Iron Bull immediately asked, his face starting to look a little excited.
"Destroy it, destroy this bead!" replied Poplar, speaking slowly, almost word for word, "perhaps if this bead is destroyed, this place without the sun and moon will disappear with it, and we will naturally return to the real world!"
Tie Niu's face was shocked, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.
Haizhu took a breath of cool air, and asked slowly for a long time: "But, what if it doesn't work? If we destroy this bead, we still can't go back, then won't there even be the last hope?"
"Yes, Lao Bai!" Tie Niu also followed, "If you can get out by destroying the beads, why didn't Redbeard do this?"
"He's definitely thought about it, but the problem is, he's just like the two of you, he's afraid that if he destroys the Psychic Orb, he won't even have the last hope, so he'll have to worry about it, and the longer time passes, the more he won't dare to do it!" replied Poplar.
"Shall we ...... Do you want to think of another way? Maybe ......"
Perhaps, Iron Bull really can't tell. Because he himself knew very well that Poplar was right, as long as they could think of a solution, Redbeard and the others must have tried it a long time ago.
Haizhu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Why don't we scratch our bodies and drop blood on this bead?" Isn't it a legendary spiritual item that needs to be sacrificed with blood or even life......? Redbeard, they hadn't thought of that?"
"How could I not have thought of it!" Poplar shook his head with a wry smile, "I thought of this method you said yesterday, the reason why I didn't bring it up is not because I was afraid of being hurt, but because I think Redbeard is a bloodthirsty pirate, and there are more than one or two people under him, let alone sacrifice with blood, they may have sacrificed with their lives more than once......! In this place, if you die today, you will be resurrected tomorrow, and the so-called sacrifice with your life is simply false!"
His words made Haizhu speechless for a while, but Haizhu refused to give up, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Maybe you are right, but Redbeard only has men, not women, maybe with women's blood, they can make the psychic orb perceive our wishes and send us out safely?"
"Who said they don't have women?" said Poplar smiled bitterly, "If the sea ghost can take you captive here, it will naturally be able to take other women here as well!
He paused here, glanced at Haizhu, and then continued.
"I think the reason why they don't dare to force you is precisely because they must have forced more than one woman to death before! And it's not easy to get the sea ghost to kidnap a woman here, so they hope that you can slowly accept the reality and don't dare to force you too much!"
Haizhu still wanted to argue, but he knew that what Bai Yang said was reasonable, so he could only look back at Tie Niu.
Tie Niu immediately said: "Lao Bai is right, we can't let you scratch yourself to commemorate this bead, if not, I would rather choose to believe Lao Bai and simply smash this bead!"
"But I still think that once we smash the beads, we still won't be able to get out, and it will be too late to regret it!" Haizhu said.
Poplar has nothing to say. In fact, he said that if he really wanted him to smash the beads with his own hands, he would not have the courage to do so.
It wasn't about his life alone, but about three. There was a girl in particular.
He lives and dies with Iron Bull, but he has no right to decide the fate of this girl.
So Poplar could only sigh and said, "Okay then, then let's fight the sea ghost again tonight, and then let's talk about it!"
As soon as he said this, Tie Niu suddenly jumped up and was speechless for a long time.
"What's wrong with you, old black?" asked Poplar, having to push him.
"Lao Bai, I thought of another method, Redbeard can't they try it!" said Tie Niu, scratching his ears and cheeks with a happy face.
"How?" asked Poplar hurriedly.
"Sacrifice this bead with the blood of the sea ghost!" Iron Bull said, his voice was very loud, "If you think about the sea ghost's ability, it is so difficult for the two of us to kill it, and Redbeard They don't have a pistol or other firearms, and it is impossible for them to take its life from the eyes of the sea ghost! Also, the sea ghost will be resurrected after being killed, and it seems that after the resurrection, he can still remember the previous events, if they have killed the sea ghost, the sea ghost will not obey their call, but will treat them as enemies like us!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Haizhu's eyes widened with excitement.
As soon as his last sentence was finished, Haizhu had already jumped up, grabbed his arm and shook it again and again, and said, "I said that Poplar was smart before, but you are also so smart! What do you think Poplar? Do you think Tie Niu is right?"
Poplar thought about it for a while, nodded quickly, and said, "Old Black is right! Redbeard and their family really can't use the blood of the sea ghost to sacrifice this bead, let's try this method at night......! It's still the same thing I said before, even if you are killed in this place, you will be resurrected the next day, so ...... Sacrifice with blood or with life is false. Since it's false, it can't work!"
His words caused Tie Niu to fall from the peak of excitement all of a sudden, and he could only turn his head to look at Haizhu.
Haizhu hurriedly said: "Try it, it doesn't hurt to try! It's a pity that you didn't think of this method after you killed the sea ghost last night, and now the sea ghost's body doesn't know where to go, so you can only kill it again at night!"
Poplar nodded before he could speak, but Tie Niu suddenly jumped up again and said, "No, what about the women?"
"What?" asked Poplar.
Tie Niu took a breath and said, "Before, you said that the sea ghosts must have taken women here more than once, if that's the case, then what about those women? After the people in this place die, they will be resurrected the next day, even if those women are forced to death by Redbeard, they should be resurrected the next day, right?"
Before he finished his words, Poplar was already nodding his head again and again, and when his last sentence fell, Poplar said: "You're right, it's that I didn't think about it well before, it seems that when Redbeard comes over in the evening, we have to ask him where those women have gone!"
"I'll just say that Tie Niu is also very smart, and he can always think of things that others can't think of!" Haizhu smiled and gently hammered Tie Niu with his hand.
Tie Niu was very proud, and said with a smile: "If we can figure out where those women went, maybe we can get out of here!"
Poplar looked at his excited face, and was afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so he had to splash him with a little cold water, and said, "I'm afraid not! If we knew where those women went, we would have been able to get out of here, and Redbeard would have left a long time ago!"
These words made Tie Niu stunned, thinking that Bai Yang was right, the joy in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he could only reach out and scratch his scalp.
