Chapter 881 - The Wrong Choice Appears
Chapter 881: The Wrong Choice Appears
Everyone looked at the three caves in front of them. Their expressions constantly changed.
The probability of picking the right one out of three was not that low. They had at least a 30 percent chance of living. However, the moment they chose the wrong one, they would die. There did not seem to be any way back, so who would dare to take the risk?
“There’s definitely only one safe way. What do we do?”
“I feel like the best choice is to first get rid of the safe passage. It’s not a half-half situation. I feel like ‘a thread of life’ is better!”
“A thread of life can be understood as the only sliver of life out of the three. I feel like it’s very possible, too.”
“It can’t be so simple. I feel like it would be the opposite of what we think. Safe passage might really be a safe passage.”
“Does anyone have any scouting skills? You can scout for everyone!”
…
Everyone discussed the matter among themselves.
Sky One’s expression sunk as he looked at Xiao Chengfeng and the others. He frowned and said, “Do any of you hear the call of the gray mist?”
He hoped that the gray mist would lead them to the correct cave, but it was obviously not the case.
Sure enough, everyone shook their heads.
There were no signs. All they could do was rely on their skills or their own luck.
“Let me try it out first.”
Xu Da slowly walked forward. He started to point at a cave and use a spell. After a moment, his powers surged as three black eagles formed in the air. After a cry, they flew into the three caves.
Those eagles were not merely images created by spells but true living beings. They were no ordinary beings either. Their cultivation level was at the Saint realm!
When they were at their level, using their powers to create life was not hard.
The three eagles shared their vision with Xu Da. As long as they were in the caves, Xu Da would be able to see what was in the caves and easily make a decision.
However, the moment the three eagles entered the cave, they lost all contact with Xu Da. There was nothing at all.
Xu Da was stunned as he sighed and shook his head.
Following that, everyone started to use their skills.
There were so many cultivators, so there were naturally many different talents being shown. They used various ways to look for the right cave. No matter what, as long as they did not go inside themselves, it seemed like it was impossible to see what was in the cave. It left them feeling helpless.
Sky Three glanced at everyone and could not help but say, “What do you think?”
Sky Two said, “This is a seal left behind by the gray mist and the warriors back then. Their strength isn’t something we can imagine. If we choose wrongly, we probably won’t be able to handle it.”
Sky Five let out a cold smile, not really all that nervous as he said, “Even so, since we’re all already here, there’s no way for us to retreat. Since it’s impossible to scout inside, we can only rely on our luck.”
Sky Six said, “The gray mist will bless us.”
The mist moved around their bodies. They thought that they represented the gray mist itself. Their skills had greatly increased. They would be fine even if there was danger.
Sky Three’s gaze fell on those from the Heavenly Palace.
Yang Jing said, “No need to look for us. We have no way either. We’ll have to rely on our luck.”
Tian Luo suddenly laughed as he said, “I have a way in mind, but do you all trust me? Why would I tell you in the first place?”
His tone sounded like he had found the right entrance.
Sky Three was about to question Tian Luo when a clamor was heard coming from the ground.
After that, a rough voice attracted everyone’s attention.
“Don’t panic. With my big brother here, finding the right entrance is easy!”
Looking over, a completely black and burly demon walked out.
The crowd opened up a path for him. Behind the demon was a weak-looking old man with white robes and a goatee.
Yang Jing and the others were shocked when they saw the person. They then let out a smile.
Big Lord Demon was something else. In such a short time, he had somehow found himself a big brother. The buff was starting to activate. It had gotten rid of a wrong choice for them.
What a good friend!
Big Demon Lord puffed up his chest as he proudly introduced to everyone, “My big brother is Layman Wolong. He’s the best at fortune-telling. He’s able to see through the good and bad of everything. Isn’t it just three caves? My brother just needs to count with his fingers to see which one’s the safest!”
“What? So he’s Wolong?!”
“I heard that any hidden realm that Layman Wolong appears at, he’ll quickly find the best route. He’ll always be crowned the greatest winner!”
“So he absorbed the gray mist as well. With Layman Wolong, we’ll definitely find the best entrance!”
“Layman Wolong, I’ve admired you for a long time!”
…
The crowd was happy and excited. Countless people walked forward to greet Wolong.
Big Demon Lord felt happy as well. He merely stood behind Wolong as a loyal dog.
“So it’s Layman Wolong. Why didn’t you say you were here? We would’ve treated you like an important guest!”
Sky One laughed as he walked forward, saying in a friendly tone, “We’ll have to trouble you this time. If you find the right entrance, the gray mist will definitely reward us greatly. We’ll be brothers in the future!”
“Hahaha, you’re too polite. I just happened to master some strange arts. It’s nothing praiseworthy.”
Wolong had a humble reply, but he could not stop the smile on his face. His pride had been greatly satisfied.
He could not help but glance at Big Lord Demon with praise.
It had been right for him to accept that younger brother. He had a good eye. Big Lord Demon had pushed him forward at the right time, allowing him to become a focal point.
He would gain great things.
Sky One could not help but ask, “How confident are you?”
Wolong ran his fingers through his goatee as he said meaningfully, “If there were hundreds or thousands of caves here, then it would be incredibly difficult. If there are just three… Haha, I can’t say I’m sure, but I’m seventy or eighty percent confident.”
Hearing that, everyone was ecstatic.
What they got from that was that Wolong was incredibly confident!
Sky One said excitedly, “So humble. Mr. Wolong’s so humble! With your help, we’ll definitely benefit greatly!”
Sky Two said emotionally, “Layman Wolong, please show us your skills.”
“That’s easy.”
Wolong ran his hand through his goatee again as he smiled and pointed, “Little brother, bring me my diviner.”
Big Lord Demon immediately put the diviner into Wolong’s hand.
With a wave of his hand, the diviner started to rise. It started to glow as the space turned black and white. It formed various images.
Black represented death and white represented life. The two constantly flowed along the three caves…
After a moment, the black and white auras abruptly returned, and the diviner fell to the floor.
It fell in front of the three caves. The symbols crossed in front of the two caves, forming a gigantic ‘X’. As for the last cave, the symbols were linked together, pointing straight ahead.
In that situation, even those who were not skilled in divination could tell that that route was the one that would keep them alive.
