Chapter 100 The Lottery (Keeps Changing, This Book Insists on Writing to the End!) )
"It's a paper man?" Hearing this, Xue Tianyuan immediately stood up from his seat and frowned, "It's troublesome." ”
From the conversation of the passengers in the car, Su Xing learned.
Although the number of monsters in the Southern Ganbu Continent is small, and most of them are not as strong as the Strength Warriors, there are some of them that are more difficult to deal with.
This 'paper man' is one of them.
Paper Figures are one of the 'weird' monsters, possessing entities and being able to be killed, and their strength generally does not exceed that of a Warrior of the Transformation Level.
But the strength of the paper people lies not in their individual strength, but in their numbers.
They usually move in groups, and most of them are no less than ten, and even if they see a power-level martial artist, they can only take a detour.
In the carriage, a passenger proposed a countermeasure: "Or, why don't you just let the warriors of the caravan drag those paper figures, and the rest of them take the opportunity to escape?" ”
"It won't work."
Li Lingsong shook his head and said: "I came out this time, and I only brought one martial artist who entered the strength level, plus Uncle Xue's two good players, there are only three people in total, how can I hold back those paper people?" ”
On the other side, Xue Tianyuan also shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
Assign a part of the warriors to drag the paper man, not to mention whether it can be dragged down.
From the perspective of the warriors alone, how could they risk their lives to drag down the monsters for the sake of the mortals in the caravan?
In the face of danger, it's good that they won't be the first to run.
Under the pressure of the paper people, the people quickly got out of the carriage and began to discuss who in the team should be sacrificed.
In the face of such a strange thing as a paper man, it is not entirely possible to win by force, and the problem can be solved by sacrificing some people.
The reason for the birth of the paper people is unknown, and the purpose of the paper is unclear.
But every time these monsters appear, they will carry a paper sedan chair in the middle of the road and stop passers-by.
For passers-by, there are two options:
One is to rely on one's own force to win a frontal battle, or to forcibly break out of the encirclement of the paper people and escape.
However, the passengers in the caravan, including Li Lingsong and Xue Tianyuan, although they had martial arts, most of them were only martial artists.
These people are placed on the rivers and lakes, and at most they can be regarded as second-fashion.
The gap between the strength of the caravan and the paper world is too large, and it is not wise to rely on force to win the battle, or to force a breakthrough.
So there is only a second option:
A part of the caravan is selected to go to the dead, and they 'voluntarily' enter the paper sedan chair, so that the paper people can retreat on their own.
As for how to choose....
In order for everyone to 'voluntarily die', so as not to cause chaos by forcibly escaping after being chosen.
In the midst of the crowd.
Xue Tianyuan proposed: "According to the old man's humble opinion, let's use the lottery to determine life and death, which seems fair." ”
As soon as these words came out, the weaker or lowly people in the caravan followed suit.
"This method is good, and the person who draws it can only blame himself for his bad luck, and he can't blame anyone!"
"I'm in favor of it, it's fair enough!"
'Winter'!
On the official road.
While everyone was discussing, a gong suddenly sounded from the paper figure team, as if urging everyone to make a decision as soon as possible.
And Li Lingsong, who knows the characteristics of the paper man, also explained loudly at this moment: "This paper man knocks the gong, which is urging us to hurry up and get on the sedan chair, let's quickly elect the people!" ”
in the crowd.
Su Xing resisted the intention of standing up for everyone, and asked out loud: "If you want to send away those paper people, how many of them will you have to sit in the paper sedan chair?" ”
Li Lingsong was stunned when he heard this, and said uncertainly: "It depends on how many paper people there are, generally speaking, the number of people who need to sit in a sedan chair will not exceed one-third of the paper people." ”
At this moment, there were eleven paper figures surrounding the caravan.
Then, according to Li Lingsong, there need to be up to three to four people sitting in a paper sedan chair.
In this case, Su Xing dispelled the idea of standing up for everyone....
Although the strength of the paper people does not exceed that of the Huajin-level martial artists, it is strange that they are strange in the end, and they may use some unbelievable means.
Although Su Xing is not a wicked person, he is also not a virgin.
If there were too many casualties in the caravan, he might force his way out of kindness, but if it was only four lives...
Thinking of this, Su Xing stopped talking, but just mixed in the crowd and watched the changes.
The draw was easy.
Su Xing is located in a caravan that travels between various merchant towns, and the caravan carriage happens to carry bamboo fast and bamboo tubes.
Perhaps he intended to show himself in front of Xue Tianyuan.
After Li Lingsong found four bamboo fasts and painted some cinnabar, he said loudly: "We have a total of twenty-nine people, so I took twenty-nine bamboo fast, and then four of them were coated with cinnabar by me, and those who draw cinnabar have to volunteer to go to the paper sedan chair, no problem, right?" ”
'Winter'!
As soon as Li Lingsong's words fell, he saw that the paper people sounded the gong again.
Before they started, the paper people would ring the gong a total of three times, and now it's a second time....
In other words, there is not much time left for Su Xing and the others.
No one on the southern continent has ever studied probability.
Although the probability of winning the 'dead lot' is the same regardless of the first draw and then the draw, there are always some smart people who will think that the first draw is more advantageous.
If the first few people have won the 'live lot', then the probability of the later ones winning the 'dead lot' will increase.
Therefore, this part of the people think that the probability of winning the live lottery first is greater.
So, one of the people in the crowd volunteered: "I'll be the first to smoke." ”
With that, he stepped forward and gritted his teeth and pulled out a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube.
In the next second, his face showed ecstasy: "It's yellow!" I've got a 'live lot'! ”
Seeing this situation, the rest of the people couldn't help it: if the 'live lot' was drawn by others, wouldn't it be higher and higher if they won the 'dead lot'?
So, after this person won the live lot, six more people stepped forward to draw the 'live lot'.
But when it came to the eighth person, a 'dead stick' was finally drawn out of the bamboo tube.
Seeing this, Li Lingsong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at the gong in the paper man's hand, and said apologetically to the person who won the lottery: "I'm sorry friend, you can get on the sedan chair!" ”
"Okay...."
The Dead Signer replied in a low tone, and glanced around quickly.
In the next second, he threw the bamboo in his hand at Li Lingsong's eyes, and regardless of whether he hit it or not, he immediately fled in the direction with the least number of paper figures.
However, Xue Tianyuan's martial artists were also prepared.
Before he could take a few steps, he was caught by one of the power-level martial artists, slashed his legs with a sword, and dragged him into a paper sedan chair.
"Don't! Please don't drag me! I don't want to die! ”
After a while, there was a violent tremor in the paper sedan chair, and then there was a terrible roar of the deceased.
Obviously, this person must have been subjected to inhuman torture in the sedan chair.
When everyone present heard this roar, they all felt frightened, and for a while, no one dared to step forward to draw the 'life and death lot'.
Seeing that the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Li Ling was relieved.
He made a promise: "Whoever wins the death lottery can leave his address, and I can give your family ten years of life after death!" ”
Ten years of life is indeed quite tempting.
But the screams of the people who died before were indeed too miserable.
After everyone glanced at each other, no one dared to step forward to draw lots.
In desperation, Su Xing walked out of the crowd and said indifferently: "Okay, I'll draw this lot!" ”
