Chapter 409: The Right Choice

The stone carvings on the rock wall did not move at all, but Tang Juyi knelt in front of the rock wall like a lifeless statue.

Suddenly, a strange field came out from the small dice in front of Tang Juyi, and it was wrapped around Tang Juyi's body like a shackle.

At the same time, Tang Juyi's body trembled, and a dark and damp aura writhed like a living thing, struggling, oozing out of Tang Juyi's body, being imprisoned and rejected by the strange field, and forcibly pulling out of Tang Juyi's body.

The dark and damp aura was very resistant, but he couldn't do anything about the strange field emanating from the dice, so he could only retract back to the stone tentacles, staring at Tang Juyi who was kneeling on the ground, looking quite like a beast that had been taken from its mouth.

As the strange field completely pulled out the dark aura from the stone carving tentacles, Tang Juyi also let out a difficult gasp, and then fell backwards in a sweat, no longer kneeling on the ground as before.

"It's okay, I was right......"

Glancing at the stone sculpture with extremely jealous eyes, Tang Juyi stepped back without hesitation, his posture looked very embarrassed, but he didn't care at all, he just wanted to stay away from the stone sculpture on the rock wall.

This is Tang Juyi's means of survival - using the special nature of the fate dice to drive the projection from the unknown place out of his body.

The function of the fate dice is to allow the user and the chosen person to encounter the same rules at the same time, and gambling under this constraint is generally not lethal. However, it is important to note that while the Dice of Fate is being used, the power of the demons from Hell will also descend on the game to ensure that both parties are bound by the rules.

Tang Juyi had used the Dice of Fate twice, once against Emir and once against Byzand, so he knew exactly what the binding of rules meant - both sides involved in the game would be watched by the Dice of Fate, and the consciousness, or soul, would also be shrouded in the rules.

It is precisely because of the user's mental will that the fate dice can determine whether the user is following the rules, rather than using some kind of trick to deceive the user.

It is precisely this that makes Tang Juyi have the possibility of survival.

When he was just in the dream, Tang Juyi had a short time to think about countermeasures, and after excluding his useless special abilities, his only remaining choice was the fate dice.

Due to special restrictions, the role of Destiny Dice has also been weakened - "You can only use Destiny Dice once per person in this world".

However, the scope of "everyone" is very vague, and it is not specified whether it covers the user itself, so Tang Juyi conceived a method, that is, to occupy a dual identity in the game of fate dice, both the initiator and the chosen, so that he can trigger the game by himself without the presence of a second person.

When the gamble is triggered, the demonic power from the dice of fate will take effect, binding Tang Juyi's consciousness with rules, which is equivalent to a disguised "protection" behavior. During this process, external forces are generally unable to intervene in the game unless the game is completed.

And the sentence that Tang Juyi asked Mo Qianqiu was that he was speculating on the feasibility of this plan.

According to what Mo Qianqiu said, a projection from an "unknown place" descended on the tentacles of this stone carving (because of the use of [?). It feels a little awkward to replace it, so I'll use the name of the unknown place), but the strength of this projection has also been greatly weakened.

In connection with the above ideas, Tang Juyi naturally thought of using the "power of the devil" to fight against the "unknown power".

Facts have proved that Tang Juyi's thinking is correct. His consciousness remained intact and awake under the influence of the dice of fate, no longer eroded by the projections on the stone carvings of the tentacles, allowing him time to respond.

Although bound by the rules of the fate dice, since Tang Juyi has two identities at the same time, he can certainly carry out simple activities, such as retreating a distance.

As for what rules to choose? It doesn't matter. No matter what kind of rules it is, there is no loss for Tang Juyi, after all, the object of his bet is himself, and it doesn't matter which side loses.

The important thing is that he has the time to react, and the freedom to move.

Picking up the fate dice carefully, Tang Juyi still did not complete the gamble, but let himself still be bound by the rules, in order to gain more time to survive.

In fact, if he wanted to, he only had to complete two questions and answers to himself, and the game would be over – and as before, this time it was a game of language and a phrase that needed to be said explicitly to dissipate the constraints of the rules.

Tang Juyi couldn't say anything irrelevant or meaningless until the restraints dissipated, otherwise the gamble would be over and the demonic power in his body would recede, putting him back in danger.

Since the Fate Dice can only be used once for each person, Tang Juyi only has one chance to use this rule to protect his behavior, and if he misses it, he can't use it again.

With this in mind, Tang Juyi certainly wouldn't end the gamble stupidly, because that would mean that he would lose a strong umbrella.

With his mouth closed, Tang Juyi bypassed the stone tentacles and did not try to get closer to it again, but planned to continue walking towards the depths of the cave.

Although it was said that the demonic power on the dice of fate temporarily forced back the projection of the unknown land, if it was too close, Tang Juyi could not guarantee that he would still be safe. In order to avoid the situation of suicide, Tang Juyi decisively gave up the idea of exploring the tentacle stone carvings up close.

"I have to find the traces of Jiang Shuiyue first, whether it is dead or alive, otherwise I won't be able to leave this place."

Tang Juyi's psychology is very clear, the role he plays is now based on "looking for a wife" as the only faith, and he will not give up until he reaches his goal, and if he retreats halfway, it will obviously lead to many unpredictable bad developments.

With a bit of luck, it could just be a big drop in hidden gains. If you are unlucky enough, the subsequent plot development is likely to change in a direction that is unfavorable to Tang Juyi.

Now that he has penetrated into the forbidden land of this ancient civilization, and now that he has the dice of fate to protect him, Tang Juyi should certainly continue to explore.

There were equipment left behind by the expedition team along the way, indicating that their exploration scope would definitely not be limited to here, and Jiang Shuiyue must also be deeper in the cave.

Although I don't know how those four people managed to avoid the giant creatures at the bottom of the deep pool, and how they bypassed the tentacle stone carving, since they could all go deeper, there was no reason for Tang Juyi to stop there.

"As an expedition team to investigate ancient civilizations, they will definitely not let go of this special cultural relic, no matter how they say, they have to go up and knock on it, no matter how bad it is, they should get close and take a picture or something...... Why, then, did they leave unharmed, while I almost fell into a dead end? ”

Tang Juyi glanced at the stone carvings on the rock wall behind him with palpitations, feeling incomprehensible about this situation.

"Is it because the projection at that time happened to go out to buy groceries and was not at home? Giant creatures are also hanging out and about? That sounds a little too counterintuitive...... The biggest possibility is because of my psychic status. ”

Tang Juyi walked forward in silence, thinking about what happened to him before:

"At the bottom of the deep pool, I alarmed the monster after I almost had a psychic vision with the pile of bones, and I just experienced a mental disturbance similar to a death hallucination. In this way, is it really because of this special physique? Could it be that this place is a forbidden place for psychics? ”

Thinking of this possibility, Tang Juyi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, because this situation meant that his danger index in the cave would far surpass that of others, even if it was a horror that the previous expedition had not experienced, it could also be triggered because of his specialness.
