Chapter 1257 Eric's words
As soon as this said, Xiaobai's spirit was immediately shocked. Although it has no cultivation now, the only thing that is thankful is that its body shape has not changed back to its original cat form, but still maintains its fierce tiger form. It is no longer desperate, but is becoming more and more excited and more excited.
Because, at the moment when Wuqi said this, Xiaobai's confident and calm boss came back in his heart. Even if Wuqi's cultivation has completely lost its ability, Xiaobai firmly believed that as long as Wuqi found the cause of the problem, it would definitely be solved. Since all such difficult problems can be solved, it is no problem whether he can restore his cultivation in the future.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiaobai said excitedly: "Boss, what is the reason?"
Wuqi's eyes lit up, pointed to the ground beneath his feet and said, "Xiaobai, do you still remember the word you saw on the ground a few weeks ago when our cultivation level improved last time?"
"The word?" Xiaobai showed a reminiscence. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Remember. That's the word "win". Does this have anything to do with the reason you are going to say now, boss?"
"Of course there is." Wuqi smiled and said, "Just just now, when we entered this channel, that is, when our cultivation level fell for the last time, I noticed that the word "lose" appeared on the ground. In other words, why our strength fell should have a huge connection with the word "lose"."
"What is the connection? Boss? Xiaobai doesn't understand very well." After hearing this, Xiaobai asked subconsciously with confusion on his face.
Wuqi continued to explain: "Only look at this word, of course there is no connection. But if you put the words you saw that time together with the words I noticed just now, it will be related. Xiaobai, think about it, what will win or lose?"
"gamble?"
"That's right. It's gambling." Wuqi said confidently: "I know why our cultivation will fall when the word "lose" appears, and will it improve when the word "win" appears? It is because of the relationship between our bet and our bet loss.
Although, so far, I still don’t know when we got into this bet. But the facts told me that we are already in the bet, and our bet is nothing else, but our own cultivation."
Hearing this, Xiaobai suddenly realized. His eyes lit up. He finally understood everything he had encountered before. Why did his strength decline inexplicably? It turned out that it was the reason for losing a bet game, and the address of this bet game is actually this maze.
As for when this bet started, Xiaobai continued to think about it and understood completely. It turned out that it was his actions that made the bet work. When he came to the maze and saw seven or eight paths in all directions, the bet had not started at that time.
The real time to begin is when the two of you entered one of the channels by feeling without authorization. Since this is a giant maze, there will inevitably be countless wrong dead ends, and these dead ends are a bet. When there are countless roads placed in front of you to choose, in fact, only one road is correct.
In other words, in this bet, as long as you enter the wrong channel once, your cultivation will drop once. On the contrary, as long as you enter the right channel and come to the next fork, your realm will improve. This is the truth of this bet, and it is also why gamblers usually say that nine out of ten bets will lose.
Because when there are seven or eight paths in front of you, the real right path is only one that allows you to win, and the probability of winning is too small. Therefore, it is precisely because of this that your cultivation level is weakened again and again without realizing it, and until now he turns into the most ordinary mortal.
Thinking about this, Xiaobai's eyes flashed, and he immediately felt expectant. Looking at Wuqi, he asked excitedly: "Boss, Xiaobai understands everything. Do you have a solution now?"
"I really want to tell you that I have it." Wuqi smiled bitterly and spread his hands, shook his head and said, "But unfortunately, there is no. If we still have a little cultivation level and when our realm is not serious, we will find this point, and maybe there is still a way. But now, it's too late."
However, Wuqi did not feel any frustration or discouragement after saying this, but his smile became brighter. Looking at Xiaobai, his eyes were filled with strong hope. He changed his tone and said, "But, Xiaobai, I have no way to solve the decline in my cultivation level. There is a way to get out of this giant maze.
Have you forgotten? Didn’t we already formulated it not long ago? It just might take a long time. Let’s walk towards the exit together. If you are hungry, you will eat me, and then continue to take my soul. When my body recovers, you will be hungry again. Just continue.
I think this method is the safest. Anyway, we have no cultivation now, and we are not afraid of losing or winning by betting. Are you right?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiaobai's body suddenly shook. Although before Wuqi spoke, he had guessed that the other party would probably say this proposal that he could not accept, while listening, there was another voice in his heart that was constantly echoing, reminding it that things would not be like this.
Don’t talk about that method, don’t. Boss, I beg you! I really can’t do it!
However, the final result was still so cruel. So, after Wuqi finished speaking, Xiaobai did not continue to agree to Wuqi this time. Instead, he remained silent for a long time, told the truth, and said earnestly: "Boss, I...I can't do it."
“Can’t do it?”
Wuqi was stunned after hearing this. Xiaobai's reaction was very surprised. He was obviously solemnly agreed to him not long ago, but now he has changed his mind. This result suddenly made Wuqi fall into a long silence.
Is Xiaobai rejecting me? But why does it refuse? Can't it take action? But, although its cultivation has lost, its mind should still be there. Don't you know that only this method can make both of us leave safely?
After thinking about this, Wuqi couldn't help but feel confused and asked in confusion: "Xiaobai, can you tell me why you can't do it?"
"No reason. Boss, please don't force me! I'd rather be eaten by you if I really eat you. Xiaobai really can't do it, don't force Xiaobai, okay?" Xiaobai replied aggrievedly.
Seeing this, Wuqi was speechless. Although Xiaobai's words disappointed him very much, he realized why the other party could not do it. It was not that the other party was not cruel enough. He was too soft-hearted. When dealing with the enemy, Xiaobai had not been so soft-hearted. Xiaobai could not do it because the friendship he had established for so long with him was too deep.
It is this kind of love that makes Xiaobai unable to do such a cruel thing as eating himself alive. But what should he do if he does this?
After thinking about this, Wuqi couldn't help but feel troubled again. Since Xiaobai couldn't accept this method, it would be useless to force the other party, so he could only think of other ways. But is there really any other way?
Wuqi thought seriously and tried his best to work his mind, trying to find a more effective way, but after thinking about it, he didn't understand what else could be done to resist hunger and thirst. Hunger is a little better. After all, they were once very tenacious in their willpower, even if they were more than ordinary people, they would not be a problem.
However, it would be difficult without water. Originally, Wuqi planned to give up his body and use his own blood to help Xiaobai solve his thirst problem, but now it seems that this method is no longer possible.
As soon as he thought of this, Wuqi's gaze suddenly became solemn again, and his mood became more and more urgent. After all, they are already mortals now, and there are too many things to consider, instead of just considering the speed of moving forward or slow monks. But the cruel reality is in front of him, like a mountain that cannot be overturned, filling Wuqi's heart with helplessness.
However, at this moment, when Wuqi had to smile bitterly and chose to give up, his eyes flashed, and something suddenly came to his mind. Then, as the outline of a familiar person in his mind slowly emerged, a word that was almost forgotten by him immediately echoed clearly in his mind, as if it was ringing in his ears.
"This is not a dangerous thing, but my intention. If you really have no choice when dealing with Bayer, you can try it. Maybe it can help you resolve the crisis at a critical moment. But remember, it can only be used once, don't be absolutely necessary, don't use it randomly."
This was the voice of the blood demon Eric. As soon as Wuqi's mind echoed, his eyes lit up and he muttered excitedly: "Yes. Why did I forget this? Eric gave me a drop of blood. Although I don't know what the function of this drop of blood is.
However, since Eric is the guardian of hell on two levels, the effect of that drop of blood will naturally not be small, and it will definitely be extraordinary. Although Eric said that I would use it when I had no choice but to deal with Bayer. However, the current situation is already a necessity.
Maybe if I use it now, it will waste the magical effect of this drop of blood, but without it, Xiaobai and I can’t even get out of the maze, so we must use it! Hopefully, this drop of blood will not disappoint me!"
Then, when the words came to the ground, Wuqi looked down at his right index finger and found a clear bloodline absorbed on his fingertips. Without any hesitation, he tore it off and stuffed it into his mouth. The blood entered his throat, which was very sweet and had no blood at all. Instead, it was a little cool, making Wuqi feel particularly comfortable.
This is indeed not a drop of blood.
Wuqi made a judgment at the first time and couldn't help but exclaim at the drop of blood. But at this moment, he almost just praised in his heart, and his eyes completely solidified, just like time had frozen, and his whole body became motionless and had no reaction at all.
Of course, this is not that Wuqi suddenly stopped breathing and turned into a zombie and died, but that Wuqi felt a wonderful reaction that he had never had before and instantly fermented in his body.
