Chapter 132
"Damn, I'm so lucky!" The scarred man snorted coldly, not convinced.
The blonde woman didn't say anything, but she put the dagger in her hand away and stuck it into her shoe, her eyes fixed on the screen.
The live broadcast continues. Under the high-definition camera, the hungry wolf's slightly trembling nose was clearly visible; it followed the smell to find its way here. This maze, which looks almost the same everywhere and cannot be distinguished by the naked eye, is not a problem at all for wild beasts. They have an extremely keen sense of smell and can smell blood from two kilometers away, let alone in the confined space on a cruise ship.
The only thing that bothered this hungry wolf was that there were too many sources of bloody smell. At first, it was in almost every direction, and later it spread throughout the entire area. It had been hungry for five days, and the strong smell of blood in the entire area almost drove it crazy, but the complex terrain and sudden obstacles made it difficult to track its prey. Besides this, there are threats from other wild animals, such as tigers and lions, neither of which are good.
It ran in the maze for a long time before it noticed the trace of its prey, which was not far away. It approached cautiously, wanting to take it down in one fell swoop, but when it got closer it found nothing. The smell of blood mixed with the breath of living things disappeared wherever it stayed. Unwilling to give up, it moved its head closer and stretched out its front paws to grab the wall.
There was a slight sound, and the place where the front paw touched actually slowly went inward.
In room 3001, Yang Xinyao, Bai Ningxi and Song Xiuyuan watched the live broadcast together. At the beginning, she was quite worried about Jing Ling and the others. From a God's perspective, the game gives close-up shots of the three beasts before the game starts. They have sturdy bodies and sharp fangs, and their performance after being stimulated by the smell of blood is extremely ferocious and scary. It would be fine if you were prepared in advance, but if you meet it on a narrow road when turning, you will suffer a great loss if you react a little slower.
But Jing Ling was lucky. He drew a number plate and was arranged at the best entrance. The shots are switched from one to ten in sequence and then pieced together again. During the game, we can see the reactions of each team. The ones in the front are relatively calm, while the last two teams, number nine and ten, are in a miserable state. They have been racing against the beasts out of the cage since the beginning of the game, racing against time. Although they have tried very hard, luck is really beyond human control. At the eleventh minute after the game started, the members of Team Nine were turning left at a three-way intersection and unfortunately collided head-on with a lion. Although they escaped in the end, both of them were injured, with deep scratches on their arms and calves. Of course, the lion didn’t escape unscathed either. It was stabbed on its butt, with the dagger that was distributed throughout the game still stuck in it!
Team No. 10 was not much better off. They were chased by the tiger all the way. They were lucky to choose the right road when turning, otherwise they would have collided with a hungry wolf on another road. They had an adventure of having a wolf in front and a tiger behind, and experienced a feeling of their heart beating instantly.
After all, the place is so small. You may be far away at the beginning, but after a long time, you will inevitably encounter wild beasts. The other teams had all more or less greeted the beasts, either running into them without warning or just glimpsing them from a distance. Only Jing Ling and Xu Shaohuai encountered the shadow of the beast from beginning to end. This is really unmatched luck. Moreover, Jing Ling's painting style has always been fascinating. After discovering the flip door at the beginning of the game, he seemed to be obsessed with finding various small mechanisms.
The live broadcast only had video but no sound, and the three of them were not able to read lips, so they couldn't guess what Jing Ling and Xu Shaohuai were saying in the video. Seeing that the two of them seemed to be idle and not caring about the treasure at all, Yang Siyao and the other two were not very anxious. After all, they had VIP privileges and could enter the hunting ground three hours in advance. For them, this half hour would be icing on the cake if they could get it, but it didn't matter if they couldn't get it. The most important thing was that no one was hurt.
But later on, Team No. 3 got the treasure and prepared to leave the maze. They can only see what is in front of them, but the audience can see the whole picture. The walls move without warning, blocking the original path and forming a new path. This back and forth change causes Team No. 3 to wander around in the maze and be unable to get out.
Yang Xinyao and the others then realized that this game was not that simple. However, considering Jing Ling's previous performance, they were not too worried. Several times he was about to collide with wild beasts, but he always managed to turn in another direction and avoid them safely.
Some people may think that this is just good luck, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is not right. It can be said to be a coincidence once or twice, but if you can avoid it every time, it cannot be explained by luck. After all, if you really have such incredible luck, it would be great to just go back and buy lottery tickets and make money easily. Why bother risking your life here?
Seeing Jing Ling and the others encounter the hungry wolf again, Yang Xinyao and the other two became nervous. Because this time was different from before, they were on the same road as the hungry wolf, and they could see each other after turning a corner. There was no fork in the road to avoid. They all felt that there was no way to avoid it this time and they had to confront the hungry wolf head-on. Unexpectedly, Jing Ling actually found the flip door on the wall, and under impossible circumstances, he once again perfectly avoided the beast.
"What incredible luck!" Yang Xinyao exclaimed.
However, before her heart could completely fall back into her stomach, she saw the hungry wolf stop in front of the flip door, and with a paw, the door slowly opened.
"Fuck! What a shitty organizer!" She was really pissed off by this development and cursed out loud.
When Jing Ling opened the revolving door, the force point was the upper left corner, which was above the height of the head. If one didn't know, the possibility of hitting it by accident was very low. But I didn't expect that there was a force point almost at knee height. This is obviously prepared for wild beasts! You can tell at a glance what the organizers are planning!
The hungry wolf was startled by the sudden opening of the door. He took a few steps back, leaned against the wall behind him, lowered his body slightly, and made an attacking posture. It is cunning and cautious by nature, so it will feel that this situation is a trap and will not step into it easily. But after the door opened, the scent of the prey that was about to dissipate suddenly became clear, and it didn't care about anything else and rushed forward.
The scent of prey is not far ahead!
It ran as fast as it could and caught up with it.
As a result, the situation just now happened again. The prey's scent suddenly became faint again and appeared on the other side of the wall.
It used to be the wolf king of the wolf pack and had a certain level of intelligence. After being captured, it played games with many humans and became smarter. With the previous precedent, it tried to stretch out its claws and scratch around. When it touched something, it heard a slight sound and the door opened.
It passed through the flip door and continued to track its prey.
"Hmm?" After passing through the third flip door and walking a few steps forward, Jing Ling suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xu Shaohuai looked at him.
"I found something interesting." Jing Ling replied, "The wolf caught up with us."
Xu Shaohuai frowned slightly when he heard this, "The maze has a complicated terrain, it shouldn't be so fast!"
"This is exactly what I meant by the interesting part. It took a shortcut just like us." Jing Ling said this, turned around and took a few steps back, then squatted down and groped along the outline of the door. One of the differences between humans and animals is intelligence. Jing Ling knew one point of force for the flip door, and through comparison and guesswork, he quickly found another one.
Lower left corner, almost at knee height.
The slight sounds of running and panting, as well as the unique smell of wolves, entered the ears and nose respectively. Jing Ling closed the door casually, thought for a moment, then looked up and called Xu Shaohuai, "Captain."
Xu Shaohuai looked at him.
"I'll give you a present." Under the clown mask, Jing Ling grinned with ill intent. With the push from the other side, he pushed the flip door open and closed it in an instant.
When Xu Shaohuai heard the tone of Jing Ling's voice, he felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the next second he saw the hinged door open and a dark shadow rushed out. He subconsciously took a few steps back, dagger in hand, ready to stab at any time. But there was no need for him to take action. Jing Ling opened the door quickly and closed it even faster. The black shadow was trapped in the door before it could completely rush out.
It was a wolf, or more accurately, a wolf's head. It was caught in the door, with its body on that side and its head on this side. It struggled desperately, kicking the revolving door with its limbs, making a harsh sound.
Jing Ling grabbed the door with one hand and pushed his knee against it. No matter how it struggled, it was of no use.
"Do you want to touch the dog's head, Captain?" Jing Ling asked.
Xu Shaohuai was silent for two seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "You little bastard, you are making fun of me!"
Jing Ling laughed twice, then lowered his voice and started talking about business. "I remember you said that all the teams that will enter the hunting ground will be our enemies, right? So now, should I kill this thing directly, or let it go and let it fight with our enemies? Don't worry, I can completely avoid it."
Generally speaking, he would not kill wild animals easily, but this wolf was different. It has been trapped here and has participated in countless games like this. It has definitely eaten people. Of course, the lives of those who know there are dangers but still participate in the game for money are different from those of ordinary people. But even if they deserved to die, the wolf did nothing wrong, and there was no point in Jing Ling letting it go now. Because it cannot escape from this cage, it can only choose to kill or be killed. It should be living in the wild, free, not here for people's entertainment. When you lose your freedom, death is a relief.
"How could you have such an idea?" Xu Shaohuai really didn't expect that Jing Ling would have such an idea - thinking about how to eliminate those who might become enemies before the game even started.
Jing Ling reached out and touched the wolf's head, using the same technique as when he touched a dog's head. His expression could not be seen through the clown mask, and his voice was also indifferent, "I am just more conscious. Stepping onto this ship means temporarily giving up the identity of an ordinary person, giving up the protection of moral laws, and following the law of the jungle."
