Chapter 68: The Compass of Destiny
With the death of the last white beast, the incident on 92 square finally ended.
In fact, if you count it carefully, the incident of this black and white beast is not too difficult. It is even easier than the previous time-swallowing beasts, two-headed ogres, etc.
But the problem is that there are too many monsters, and Yang Ni, Cookie, and Bai Ye lack a range attack method, so they suffered a big loss after being caught off guard.
This incident can almost be regarded as the biggest loss in this game.
This fight took about 5 minutes, but its strength was huge, especially Yang Ni, who was almost always in a state of high tension. Although he still let 6 people go away, he didn't care about too much. He sat on the ground and gasped.
Bai Ye, who has a slightly better physical fitness, looked at the chessboard stone and said sadly: "It's awful. The chess piece has 14 grids from the end. Even if it can throw the highest point of 11, it still cannot be completed."
Yang Ni was thinking more deeply. At this time, there were less than 20 minutes before the end of the game. Apart from the time of triggering the event in the middle, there were only two chances of throwing the pigs at most.
Although it seems that the winning rate is still very high, don't forget that the next time this time should be thrown by Jiang Yan in order. However, she, who is already dead, defaults to throwing the number of 1 in the number of tines. In this way, there will be no chance of winning anyway.
The other two seemed to think of this and were a little depressed for a moment.
Yang Ni pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. We still have a glimmer of hope. That is to see what the next two events are. If you are lucky enough, you will directly reward you for a few steps forward, and then we can still win."
After hearing his words, Cookie recovered some confidence, clenched her fists and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I won't give up easily." After that, her face turned red, and she didn't know what she thought of.
But Bai Ye no longer cared about this game. The worst result was nothing more than wasting a day. He didn't care too much. Even if he couldn't get the poker cards, it would be nothing. In this underworld space, as long as he didn't die, everything would turn around.
Bai Ye thought in his mind that the game was about to end, and he didn't know how to say something to Yang Ni.
It wasn't big, and the tiny piece reappeared. Although no one threw it this time, the chess piece still took a step forward and stopped steadily to the 93rd square.
It seems that this is the default throwing number is one. No matter how many color pieces it is or what is the smallest number, the chess piece can only move forward one step.
Then the color disappeared, and a few lines of handwriting were displayed on the smooth chessboard stone:
The compass of fate, northwest and southeast, turns gently, life and death will appear.
This time, none of the three of them spoke, and they looked patiently at the handwriting on the chessboard.
According to the experience of the previous few times, this kind of prompt usually appears as a puzzle, and there will definitely be a brief further prompt next.
Sure enough, a prompt appears soon:
"Select a representative to make a turn on the upcoming Fate Compass. If the pointer points to the red zone, the chess piece will move forward five grids, and if it points to the white zone, the chess piece will move backward five grids."
Just about 5 seconds after this line of prompt appeared, I felt a vibration near the chessboard stone. Immediately afterwards, a circular turntable with a diameter of about 1 meter drilled out from the ground and stood next to the chessboard stone.
Yang Ni and the other two quickly went up and took a look.
I saw that this so-called fate compass is not as tall as the narrative, but is similar to the common ones on TV variety shows. A pointer pointing upward in the middle cannot move, and it depends entirely on the user to rotate the turntable outside for operation.
Moreover, on the disk of the outer ring, there are 12 small grids, 6 reds and 6 whites are spaced apart from each other. Depending on the size, the total area of the two colors should be the same.
Yang Ni raised his eyebrows and said, "That's great. This is an event that can make the chess piece move forward extra. It's all a 50% chance, and you have to have luck."
After thinking about it, he continued, "I'd better ask Xiaobai to come and go. Xiao Biscuit and I are not very lucky today, so I won't be so bad."
Cookie stomped her feet and said dissatisfiedly: "They have a name, but they are not a cookie."
Bai Ye laughed and raised the laser gun in his hand and replied: "Don't worry, I'm the best at trying my luck."
After saying that, he didn't refuse, took a step forward and turned the compass vigorously.
It is actually difficult to explain things like luck and probability. Take buying a lottery for example. If you cannot win the prize, it is probability, but once you win the prize, it is luck.
When the base of the sample is not large enough, luck is also a very critical factor. Everyone has the kind of people who are particularly lucky.
As the roulette slowly slowed down, the hearts of the three people almost reached their throats. When luck determines major events, even the most determined atheist will pray silently in his heart.
The edge of each area on this fate compass is cookie's palm wide. When the compass pointing to a red area, it was already very slow. Cookie was so anxious that she shouted unconsciously: "Stop, stop, stop, stop."
However, the pointer slowly slid out of this area and entered white.
Bai Ye is not old, only in his early 20s, and has a childish temper. At this time, he turned around and said to the cookie with some dissatisfaction: "I said little biscuits, just your luck, nothing is needed. I think if you shouted 'Go quickly, go quickly', it might stop."
Cookie knew that she was in the wrong, and she even forgot that Bai Ye would not call her little biscuit. She just looked up at Yang Ni's eyes with tears in her eyes, stretched out her little hand and gently pulled Yang Ni's corner of her clothes, as if she was wronged.
Yang Ni smiled and said nothing.
Just as I was talking, the pointer had slowly walked to the middle of the white area, and it seemed that it would stop at any time.
After all, it was turned by himself, especially it was already boasting. To be honest, Bai Ye is more anxious than anyone else now. He hurried to the side of the compass, pouted his lips and kept blowing it up, as if this would make the compass turn a little more.
After all, it is related to the victory or defeat of the game. Yang Ni couldn't help but feel nervous. He wanted to ask God to pray to the Buddha, but in this fountain space where life and death, he didn't know which god to pray to.
Could it be that he would like to pray to the only Lord of the Lord of the Yellow Springs here? Yang Ni shook his head. Until now, he still didn't know what kind of mentality to face this god who could not guess the intention.
Although he gave everyone a hope for life, he threw them into the more terrifying trap of death without any mercy, like a cockfighting, constantly urging these cages to bite each other.
