Volume 2, Xuanhai Immortal Mountain_Chapter 71, the probability is too small

"What's that turquoise mist?"

I put the problem on the turquoise mist, just now I clearly heard a strange gasp in the turquoise mist, it should be a monster, yes, but I have never seen this kind of monster with no entity floating back and forth.

"It was the fog that killed the others. After we were swept underwater, there were quite a lot of people at the time, and the rations and water were there. After resting for a while, I explored and tried to find the exit, but I didn't expect the exit to be found for a long time. I came here after passing through the main hall in front of the black dragon stone pillar, I didn't think that the cyan mist would float in that night, I slept in the middle of the night and heard the screams, and hurriedly got up, and saw the turquoise mist floating through a person's body, and it was only five or six seconds, and the flesh and skin on that person's body were gone. There was only a pile of bones left, and several people were killed in one night. In the next few days, everyone was panicked, and they all said that it was a monster, and some people couldn't bear this torture and escaped alone, but they didn't expect any of them to come back. We haven't been able to find a way out, and the whole underground is like a huge labyrinth, and we will always go back to the main hall of the Black Dragon Pillar. And at night, the turquoise mist would appear, and I would be the only one left alive. ”

This thing sounds strange, but it is also reasonable, this place in Xuanhai is too strange, and it is not uncommon for any strange demon clan to exist.

"And what about later? Why are you playing dumb? ”

"I pretended to be stupid to avoid the pursuit of that turquoise mist monster, although I don't know the principle, but it doesn't eat stupid people, once it chased me, I pretended to be stupid and found that it immediately turned around and left. For my own safety, I started pretending to be a fool. ”

This thing is even more strange, is it possible that this monster still thinks that fools are too stupid, so they don't eat stupid people? Hearing that it was still a little funny, Professor Shen Liangye in front of him smoked a cigarette and asked, "How many of you are here?" Are you the only one? ”

I gave a general account of what had happened before, and I didn't think that Professor Shen Liangye was stunned at first, and then shouted with wide eyes: "What did you say? My granddaughter is here too! What did you bring her for? ”

"It's not what I think, it's your granddaughter who has to come with me, and I can't stop it. But don't worry, Mr. Xu said that she will be fine, and my brother should be taking care of her now. It's up to you to worry, if we can't find a way out, we're going to die underground sooner or later. These days, haven't you found any clues to get out? ”

I took the topic to something else, and I still felt a little weak about it.

Professor Shen Liangye shook his head and said: "There are all directions under this Xuanhai, but I guess there is a way to really get out, but there should be very few, maybe only one." It's hard for us to get out if we don't have someone to show us the way. And ......"

He stopped in the middle of his words, and then listened to the movement around him, and at the same time the light around him suddenly dimmed, and the glowing stones on the walls also dimmed, and I also felt an aura similar to the qi of the youkai just now.

"Why did you come back again?"

Professor Shen Liangye said in surprise.

"In the past, this thing only came back once a day, how can it turn back today? Hide, hurry! ”

He said in a panic, and we came and hid in the corner next to us, and the turquoise mist drifted in from outside, and the heavy wheezing sound like a hungry beast. It wanders back and forth in the cave as if looking for food. The stay was quite long, and he seemed to be emotionally unstable, reaching out to fiddle with something on the ground.

But after rummaging for a while, I guess I couldn't find anything to eat, and just as I was about to leave, I passed in front of the two of us, but at this moment I suddenly stopped, as if I felt something floating towards us. Professor Shen Liangye hurriedly whispered in my ear: "Play stupid, remember to play stupid." ”

It's drifting closer and closer, but I don't mean to play stupid, and now that my breath has recovered a bit, it's a big deal to deal with this thing. It's not necessarily really powerful, it may be a weird demon or even just a ghost.

It flew two meters in front of the two of us, and it didn't seem to see us, but its breathing was clearer, as if it sniffed its nose and was looking for something, it should have smelled the human scent on us, but it couldn't find us, and finally muttered a few times in annoyance and turned around and floated away. As soon as the man left, the light in the cave came back on.

"Whew, finally gone, haha!"

Professor Shen Liangye also breathed a sigh of relief.

After waiting for a while, after making sure that this thing would not come back, he lit a fire, Professor Shen sat on the edge of the fire with a faint smile on his old face, and said, "It's the first time I've seen a flame for so many days." ”

"There's so little to burn here that it shouldn't last long, but it's good to be able to keep warm. Well, I have an idea...... "I said as I baked the fire, "you said before that if we want to get out, we can't find a way out, so we have to find someone to lead the way." The only one who can show us the way here is the demon. So, we'll have to get the demon to help. ”

"What do you mean?"

Professor Shen Liangye's face was a little stiff, he should have heard the meaning of my words, but he didn't answer immediately.

"It's very simple, that blue mist can float in, saying that our crisis is actually an opportunity for us, if we can catch it, then it shouldn't be difficult to get out."

"No, no, you can't do something so risky." I didn't think that as soon as I said it, Professor Shen Liangye immediately waved his hand and refused.

"Why? If we can't get out, we still have to die here, Xuanhai's location is so difficult to find, don't think that there are people from outside to save us, even if they can find Xuanhai, they can't find us who are still underwater, if we want to get out, we have to rely on ourselves, you can't save you if you don't save yourself. ”

"That's not going to work, we can explore it slowly, but won't that monster die if it finds us? Your idea is too risky to be put into practice. ”

In the end, they are doing research, and they must calculate the probability before doing things, and if the probability of success is too small, they will never take risks.

"Then if I don't do this adventure, you can watch from the side, and if you find out that the situation is not right, you will immediately pretend to be crazy and stupid, and the sacrifice will only sacrifice me, so it's okay, right?"

I came up with a compromise. Professor Shen thought for a moment and said, "How sure are you?" ”

"It's less than forty percent, but the probability is what you do as a scholar, and people like us just do it. For people like us, there are only two things to succeed and not to succeed, and it's 100 percent. Success is a hundred, and failure is also a hundred! ”

That's how I do things, and a lot of people think it's impulsive and irresponsible, but sometimes it's hard to get things done if you're too forward-looking.

"Okay, but I'll help you, I can come if you need anything or need help."

Professor Shen actually has the same thoughts as me on this matter, if you stay here and continue to die, even if the probability of success is small, it is much better than waiting to die. After all, waiting for someone to come in and save him, this probability is much smaller than the success rate of catching a youkai.

"I don't know what is in this turquoise mist, but it should be a demon and not a ghost, because ghosts don't need to eat. So we characterize it as a demon. ”

"But there are a lot of varieties of demons? Isn't there a different way to catch each type of demon? ”

Professor Shen asked.

I nodded and said: "It's really different, but it doesn't mean that there is no universal method, I know that there is a formation of trapping demons in the south, which is a small enchantment, but it needs to be arranged with human bones, and most of the demons can be trapped as long as the path is not too strong." It is equivalent to a method of drawing the ground as a prison. ”

"Human bones? There's really no shortage here. ”

"Professor, you take those human bones, and then try to break them, I will light a fire, burn the surface of these bones black, and use these bones to arrange the formation, the rest is my business, you just hide and watch."
