Chapter 113 Good Luck
Huangfu Miaomiao felt that she was left out and her face was full of disappointment.
Feng Ling said, "If you want to help, choose a side. Join me in leading away the maze boss, or go burn the tree with Deputy Captain Pei?"
Huangfu Miaomiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
She wanted to go with Feng Ling, but luring the Boss was too dangerous and she was really scared.
Feng Ling's mind was full of the maze Boss at the moment, and she didn't care about Huangfu Miaomiao's little emotions. She lowered her head to study the hunter's special mobile phone. After a while, the owl came back and dropped a bunch of fruits from the sky.
The atmosphere in the safe zone suddenly relaxed a lot.
With this magical fruit, they no longer have to fear those poisonous insects.
After that, the owl continued to fly back and forth between the peak and the safe zone, bringing back a few fruits each time. It was not until the Minotaur returned to the peak that Feng Ling stopped letting the owl fly to pick fruits.
Night falls.
They lit a fire in the Sanqing Temple for the night. The flames drove away the cold and dampness. Everyone gathered around the fire to rest, quietly waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
Huangfu Miaomiao tossed and turned on her mattress, unable to sleep.
She was still struggling. Should she choose Feng Ling or Pei Xianjue tomorrow? ... Or should she stay in the safe zone and wait for news?
Pei Xianjue also suffered from insomnia. She felt as if she was walking on a tightrope. If she walked across it, she would receive cheers from thousands of people, but if she fell, she would be shattered to pieces.
She couldn't help but look at Feng Ling who was already asleep, envying Feng Ling's good psychological quality.
The Pei Group cooperated with the government to research alien species and cards, providing financial and equipment support. At the same time, the group also privately cultivated some card holders. Therefore, Pei Xianjue had seen all kinds of card holders.
But this was the first time Pei Xianjue had seen someone like Feng Ling.
She felt that Feng Ling was as free as the wind, and the prerequisite for freedom was to have an extremely strong and firm heart, so that one could resist the interference of various external voices and act solely on the basis of one's own will.
Pei Xianjue thought: But I am different. I have too many concerns and I want too many things...
Time passed zero o'clock unknowingly.
Pei Xianjue quietly sat up and walked outside the palace gate. He pointed the camera at the foggy night outside, turned on the hidden microphone and recorded in a low voice:
"It is now 6:4 a.m. on June 12th, the third day since we entered the maze. The mountain path is covered with spider webs, and we cannot seek help from the outside world. We have currently drawn up a preliminary attack plan, and we will start the action at dawn. I will be responsible for going up the mountain to burn the fruit trees that can revive monsters, Feng Ling will be responsible for leading away the master of the maze, and Bao Changzhi will assist... If the action fails, this should be my last record."
She originally wanted to say some sentimental words to liven up the atmosphere, such as "I am not afraid of death" and "Humanity will win".
But my heart was heavy and I was in low spirits. In the end, I said nothing and turned off the microphone.
…………
……
Its daybreak.
Everyone ate, drank, and packed their bags in silence, preparing for the action to come.
Huangfu Miaomiao watched Feng Ling and Pei Xianjue busying around with a gloomy expression, still unable to decide which side to choose.
Feng Ling hung his cell phone on his back, tied his waist bag, and stuffed five grenades into the bag, so that the zipper could hardly be closed.
She turned to look for Li Qing and said, "Let's do a fortune telling today to see if our actions will go smoothly."
The others all looked over.
Li Qing raised his eyes to look at them, and after a moment's silence, he took out his own divination tools, a tortoise shell and ancient copper coins.
He shook the tortoise shell gently as he did yesterday, and poured out the ancient coins.
Ding-ding-ding-ding.
Li Qing's brows were furrowed and his face was a little tense.
Pei Xianjue was panicking and asked, "How is it? Did you figure out the result?"
Li Qing silently picked up the ancient coin and looked at Feng Ling, "...Do you want to calculate it again?" Feng Ling raised his eyebrows, "Why, didn't you calculate it just now? Or is the result not good? The accuracy rate of the second divination is only 48%. I want to know the result of the first one."
"It's not 100% accurate the first time. The essence of divination is numerical deduction. Sometimes the conditions are not sufficient, and the deduction errors may occur." Li Qing explained.
Feng Ling curled his lips and smiled, "If the first time is bad, and the second time is good, which one do you want me to believe?"
Li Qing: “…………”
Feng Ling's smiling face suddenly turned cold, "Alright, I don't want to choose the result, I want you to give me a result directly."
Li Qing held the tortoise shell in his hand and rubbed it slowly, and replied in a low voice: "It is a lower hexagram. The upper hexagram is Kan, which means water; the lower hexagram is Gen, which means mountain. The mountain is rocky and the water is winding. This is the image of the Jian hexagram, which means - the road ahead is dangerous and there are high mountains behind. There are many disasters and difficulties, and it is difficult to advance or retreat."
Pei Xianjue smiled bitterly after hearing this, "So many disasters, so many difficulties, so difficult to advance and retreat... Aren't we in a difficult situation now..."
Baozi hesitated and said, "How about...how about today, we should focus on investigation and then take action tomorrow?"
"What if tomorrow's divination is not auspicious?" Feng Ling glanced at him coldly.
Baozi looked embarrassed.
"Every day is unlucky, so you don't take any action every day?" Feng Ling said coldly, "And then live in the maze forever?"
Seeing that everyone was depressed because of a bad hexagram, she became even more impatient and said with a frown, "Our operation this time was already very dangerous. You can tell with your toes that the hexagram cannot be auspicious. The result is nothing more than the difference between bad or very bad."
She said to Huangfu Miaomiao, "Bring out another box of grenades."
Huangfu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a grenade.
Thirty new grenades were neatly arranged in a metal box.
Feng Ling opened Pei Xianjue's fireproof bag, stuffed a dozen grenades into it, and said, "Okay, now we're in luck."
Pei Xianjue: “…………”
"I'm leaving now. You stay here and wait for my message." Feng Ling waved at Baozi, "Let's go."
Baozi looked at Pei Xianjue hesitantly.
Pei Xianjue nodded and said to Baozi, "You go with her, and be careful."
"Yeah." Baozi nodded, put on a backpack, and followed Feng Ling in front of him.
Feng Ling walked briskly on the mountain path.
Baozi could barely keep up with her speed.
The cat-spider rushed forward aimlessly like a pure black St. Bernard, while the cat-owl circled in the sky, monitoring the surrounding situation.
The spider silk along the way was trampled by them.
A large number of skeleton spiders soon came down from the mountain, crawling very fast on their eight legs. Their skulls bumped into each other, making a ping-pong sound, as if they were playing a chaotic musical instrument.
From further away came the roar of the Minotaur.
Baozi's heart tightened, and he said to Feng Ling: "Your guess is right, they are really here!"
The horse-faced monster is dead, and the minotaur has to work overtime during the day.
"Let's go," Feng Ling quickened his pace, almost running down the mountain, "Keep the distance!"
"Those spiders are too fast!" Baozi said as he ran.
Feng Ling suddenly stopped, turned around and threw a grenade——
The grenade flew in a parabola in the air, fell into a group of spiders, and exploded with a bang!
"Good luck!" Feng Ling continued to run down the mountain.
