Chapter 212 Controlled Experiment

After hearing what Peter said, Reina also reacted.

The situation is indeed not normal.

"Did they move from deeper into the dark cave?" Halfway through Gale's words, he denied his statement: "No! Even if that's the case, why is this big cave in the center so... clean?"

"This is what I don't understand."

Peter pointed at the surrounding connecting passages, turned his head and asked Miranda softly:

"Miranda, you know more about monsters than we do."

"Would monsters sleep neatly in different caves like this?"

Miranda thought about it for a while, and finally shook her head with some uncertainty.

"Probably...not right?"

"Monsters can sleep, but they will not sleep so neatly, so...regularly."

"What I know is that there are no rules in the actions of monsters. After all, they have no such thing as reason. They may be sleeping one second and start looking for their hunting targets the next."

“It’s strange enough that there are so many monsters sleeping here at the same time.

Peter touched his chin and analyzed: "So, this is the problem."

"No wonder the Lord sent us a mission to explore the dark crypts."

"Either the monsters here are in a special situation."

"Either, it's simply because the situation in this place is special."

"Don't forget about the gray mist!"

Brandon listened in confusion for a long time and finally heard something he could understand.

"Everyone, do you think it's possible that the monsters are sleeping neatly in those caves because of the gray fog!"

Brandon's logic is simple.

There is a thick gray fog shrouding the outside of the misty valley. Most monsters will stop when they get close to a certain distance and will only wander outside this area.

So, use an analogy.

Traces of gray mist were also found in the dark crypt.

Will these gray mist have the same effect, preventing monsters from approaching?

Is that why monsters are sleeping in caves?

Brandon described his thoughts through words and gestures.

Pet pondered Brandon's logic.

"When Ya'an and the others took away the crystal-white ball, why were the monsters not afraid of the gray mist at the connection between the cave and the passage, and came out to chase and kill them at all costs?"

Brandon fell silent.

His analytical ability is limited, so it is more suitable for him to just draw his sword and slash.

The place where Peter and the others came together to communicate was where Ya'an's team found the Yingbai Ball.

The large cave in the center is almost near the center.

There is a small area on a slightly higher ground, with a round platform that looks like a mixture of mud and rocks commonly found in caves, about half a person tall.

The round table is not large in area, and there is no so-called bright white ball on the table. Instead, there is a strange square colorless small crystal.

However, in the almost "pure primitive" environment of the cave, this thing gave Peter an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

He felt... this thing was a bit like the round platform used to exchange bread and record the magic of resurrection in the altar of creation.

But the material of the round platform here is completely different from the translucent crystal of unknown material on the Creation Altar.

A dwarf dagger fell on the ground. If you get closer and smell it, you can still feel the smell of blood left behind.

Pat simulated the situation.

"At that time, the bright white ball should have been placed on this round platform."

"Yan and his teammates are here."

"Teammates take the ball."

"Alarm the monster."

"My teammates were overwhelmed by monsters, and Ya'an flashed out of the crypt, escaping for his life."

Gale concluded: "In other words, the bright white ball is the key to alarming the monster. As long as it is moved, the monster will wake up and start chasing."

"But now the things on the round platform have changed." Peter hesitated.

He always felt that there might be some connection between the sleeping monsters neatly distributed in the crypt, the gray mist floating in fixed positions, and the round platform in front of him.

"so."

"Rena, Brandon, Miranda, the three of you leave here first, return to the ground, and find a safe place to hide."

"Gail stays, I want to do a controlled experiment."

"I want to simulate the situation of the Ya'an team at that time."

"If I alarm the monsters like Ya'an, I won't run away. Anyway, at worst, I will return to the altar of creation dead."

"As for Gale, try to imitate Ya'an. After the monster wakes up, you run outside and see if the monster will chase you the same way it chased Ya'an without the crystal ball."

Gale had no objection and nodded in agreement.

They were here to open up wasteland this time and knew nothing about the situation in the dark cave.

I was prepared to die for the last time.

After possessing the [Rebirth] magic, life has become a currency for the followers of the Church of Knowledge, but they need to make better use of death to make their death more valuable.

Reina looked at Peter with some worry, hesitated for a moment, and then applied:

"How about... I won't leave? I can enter [Stealth], just to see if the monsters can see through the stealth state when they are chasing them. It can also be considered as gathering information."

Peter thought for a moment and agreed to Lena's request.

Rena became visibly happy.

This change in mood was noticed by Peter, who couldn't help but complained helplessly: "What's so fun about this? Maybe we will all be wiped out here later."

Reina just smiled and didn't explain why she was happy.

Miranda looked at Gale. She also wanted to find an excuse to stay, but she couldn't find a suitable excuse after thinking for a long time.

She was a radiant priest. She didn't have [Stealth] like a stealth, nor did she have [Blink] and [Self-Invisibility] like a mage. Moreover, the priest herself was a profession with a relatively fragile body.

Fortunately, Brandon took action at the critical moment:

"I might as well not leave! Exploration, fighting must be part of exploration! I can try to see how many monsters I can destroy. It's just right to test the strength of the monsters in the dark cave, and also to collect intelligence for everyone!"

Brandon turned his target to the combat test, and Miranda naturally had a reason to stay.

"Then I'll stay too! Fighting definitely requires treatment. The attacks of level 3 monsters come with contamination, which I can purify so that we can get more clear data!"

Pate didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I want everyone to die less often. After all, there is also a loss in transferring legendary experience!"

"Don't you feel sorry for it?"

Rena, Miranda and Brandon shook their heads at the same time.

Especially Brandon, his head was shaking like a rattle.

He was almost suffocating to see so many monsters but couldn't kill them.

"Okay!" Pete didn't hesitate any more. The instant messenger edited a message to notify the believers outside, asking them to hide in case of accidents.

Take a deep breath.

Reach out to touch the strange transparent crystal.
