Chapter Thirteen Betting on Life(1/2)
The girl asked doubtfully: "A gamble?"
"Um."
Ji Xun nodded, his eyes sparkling like a torch, and his tone was firm and calm: "Bet on whether my reasoning is correct."
"..."
Hearing this, the girl really couldn't understand what her teammate was thinking.
This guy's tone was so calm that no one could hear any fear or anxiety.
Instead, I heard a kind of... eagerness to gamble on life?
He actively wants to gamble with the monster?
This guy is not afraid of death!
At this moment, only one word came to her mind: crazy.
...
Probably because of the fluorescent powder, or Ji Xun's crow's beak.
Not long after the two stopped, a sudden stench hit them, and a dog-headed monster teleported before their eyes.
Face to face, the terrifying oppressive feeling of an A-level disaster is as real as it is, making people's scalp numb. Moreover, the cursed monsters give people an infinite and mysterious terror, as if they are facing an abyss.
However, the monster chose not Ji Xun, but stood in front of the girl with the mechanical arm.
The girl's expression suddenly changed, her expression darkened, and she cursed secretly: "What bad luck."
With so many people looking for her, we can only lament that she is out of luck.
But even at this time, she was not in despair.
The mercenary was helpless in the face of this disaster, but that didn't mean she couldn't.
The girl has an ancient relic on her body that can be forcibly transported out of the dungeon. Once used, she can leave immediately.
The only drawback is that after using that treasure, everything you get in the space cannot be taken out.
Including the elusive [Witch's Pituitary Gland] obtained before.
I missed it this time, and I don’t know if I can find such suitable career materials again.
She didn't want to give up unless she had to.
But now looking at the ferocious and hateful face of the dog-headed monster in front of him, he was already in a desperate situation.
There is no choice.
The girl with the mechanical arm felt sad in her heart, what a pity.
At the same time, I also felt apologetic. As soon as she left, my teammates would definitely die. She clearly promised to do her best to protect her.
But this is also a situation that she cannot change.
Why...
Sighed slightly.
However, before she could think about using that special relic to forcefully leave the instance, something unexpected happened.
She never expected that at this moment, a provocative question suddenly came to her ears: "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"
The girl's eyes widened and she looked at Ji Xun who was talking next to her with disbelief.
For a moment, my thoughts seemed to freeze.
After being stunned for a moment, she realized what Ji Xun had done.
This guy...
Is he provoking a monster?
He is provoking monsters!!!
As expected, the monster could bear this mockery?
For gamblers, there is no such thing as gambling.
It immediately gave up its current target and turned to look at Ji Xun, with a sarcastic smile on its head: "Which card is the ace of spades on?"
...
This incredible scene unfolded, and the girl with the mechanical arm was completely confused.
Her eyes were full of confusion, this guy actually saved her?
But why would he do this?
It's a cooperative relationship, of course, but it's not...
At this moment, the girl finally understood what he meant when he said "we" just now.
This guy had said before, "If we are chosen", let her escape first.
In other words, no matter who the monster comes for, he has already made preparations to face the monster?
But this...
No one can survive [Gamble on Dogs]. Why would he do this?
The girl with the mechanical arm really couldn't figure it out. She looked at Ji Xun and suddenly had some subtle complexities about this temporary teammate.
...
Holy Mother Ji Xun is possessed, sacrificing herself for others?
No!
Instead, his absolute rationality allowed him to analyze the current situation clearly.
This bodyguard teammate is dead, Ji Xun can be 100% sure that he will not survive next.
The probability of survival for those well-equipped mercenaries is extremely low, let alone yourself?
Any little monster can bring him a fatal crisis.
So escaping now has no meaning other than surviving for a while.
If you can't kill this dog-headed monster, you will definitely die in the end.
What's more, there is another more important factor.
He needs to verify a conjecture.
Now he has enough information, and little clues are forming a curtain in his mind.
He has understood some of the "game rules" of this extradimensional space.
This was the reason for him to speak.
The 30% exploration level of the dungeon had just begun. Only by verifying those conjectures, he felt that he would have a real chance of completing the dungeon alive.
It is undeniable that this verification process does involve gambling.
But for Ji Xun, if he is still indecisive about his firm judgment, such a life of firewood will be so boring.
Furthermore,
There is an eager idea in my heart that I can no longer hold back.
He really wanted to take a gamble.
Tsk tsk.
What to bet on?
Are there any thrills from gambling?
.......
"I choose..."
Ji Xun had a calm expression on his face and deliberately delayed for some time.
Looking at the struggling girl next to him, he also guessed that his teammate was probably going through some complex psychological activities.
But staying here right now is not a good option.
He raised his eyebrows and gave a look that meant he could run away.
When the girl with the mechanical arm saw this, her expression was tangled for a moment, as if she felt it was unethical to leave him and run away after someone else saved her.
But looking at Ji Xun's urging gaze, she glanced sideways and knew that there was no point in staying for a long time, so she said: "Take care!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person quickly evacuated towards the depths of the corridor, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
With his teammates gone, the last factor that might have caused the accident is gone.
Ji Xun had no worries at this moment.
At this moment, it was as if the beast within was awakened, and a scalp-tingling excitement surged into my heart.
To be continued...
