In just an hour, they found another elemental creature cave. They were really lucky tonight.
After Yang Dingtian sneaked into the cave to investigate, there was no one inside, but he also did not see any elemental creatures.
It was really strange. No wonder it was another demon spirit. It shouldn't be, right? Moreover, this cave was different from the previous one.
Yang Dingtian turned around and told Yao Li about it.
Yao Li also felt very strange. She had never encountered such a situation. It was not a demon spirit, but there were no elemental creatures either.
Therefore, the six of them carefully entered the depths of the cave again.
Sure enough, there was not a single figure in the huge cave.
Moreover, compared to the other cave abodes, this cave was particularly neat and square, as if it was a room.
Yang Dingtian and Yao Li looked at each other. They both had the idea of going out immediately.
Because a unique cave meant a unique elemental creature, or even a very, very powerful elemental creature.
This cave looked empty, but it was definitely not empty. There would definitely be elemental creatures.
Moreover, they were very powerful and unique. Yang Dingtian and the others felt that it was better not to take the risk.
Then, the six of them carefully retreated.
"Guests, since you're here, there's no need to leave." Suddenly, a dull sound came from the cave as if the entire cave was shaking.
Because there was a vacuum everywhere, there was no sound transmitted through the air.
However, this sound did indeed shake the entire cave and entered everyone's ears.
It was indeed a very terrifying and powerful elemental creature.
Then, they saw a stone golem directly crack out of the cave's stone wall and walk towards them.
Its entire body was made of stone. Only its two eyes flickered with a somewhat transparent light.
It looked about the same height as an ordinary person. It even had blurry facial features.
After cracking off from the stone wall, it carved out stones and made a table and a stool.
Then, it stretched out its hand and said, "Everyone, please!"
Yang Dingtian and the others were extremely flabbergasted when they saw this scene.
None of the elemental creatures they had seen could speak, and none of them had intelligence.
However, this stone golem could actually speak, and it could even speak the common language.
Yang Dingtian and Yao Li looked at each other and asked if they should make a move.
Yao Li shook her head. She had never seen such a strange elemental demonic beast before. It might be very powerful, but they could not act rashly.
Yang Dingtian and the others sat down.
"First, let me introduce myself." The stone man said, "My name is … Hmm?
What's my name?
Sorry, I don't know. I was once a stone statue that was buried with a certain master. Then, I don't know why, but I came back to life. "
Yes, no one knew why the elements in the Umbral Realm had come alive and become elemental lifeforms.
"And then?
I lived aimlessly … until a very, very long time ago, someone found me. He was wandering aimlessly in the endless dark world. He was bored to the extreme, so he asked me to follow him. He began to teach me how to speak and other things. Then he disappeared again, and I was left alone … "The stone man sighed heavily." In the end, after a very, very long time, suddenly one day, someone came again.
I was very happy and planned to communicate with them. In the end, they didn't say anything and directly hit me. Then, I killed all of them. "
Hearing this, Yang Dingtian's heart trembled.
"By the way, you are here for that thing called Energy Essence, right?" The stone man asked.
Yang Dingtian nodded.
The stone man opened his hand. There were five Energy Essences in his palm.
"In these countless years, I dug a cave and attracted people down. Then, I killed many people." The stone man said indifferently, "The feeling of killing is really good. I didn't realize it before.
Then, I also snatched their Energy Essences and found that I could devour them.
So, I specially dug caves everywhere to attract people down. I hunted them down and snatched their Energy Essences. "
Hearing this, Yang Dingtian shuddered.
The stone man continued, "It's been more than a thousand years. How many Energy Essences have I snatched?
I don't know either. Maybe it's a thousand, three thousand, or more. I can't remember clearly.
Now, you are here! "
After the stone man finished speaking, he smiled at Yang Dingtian and the others.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian's hair was about to stand on end.
What the hell!
He thought that he was lucky, but it turned out that he was too lucky and fell into a demon's den.
He didn't expect that elemental creatures would hunt people when humans hunted elemental creatures.
He had never heard of such a thing before.
However, it was normal not to have heard of it because the elemental creatures hunted were all dead.
"Okay, okay, okay …" The stone man said, "I know you are ready to make a move. Don't be like this. Don't use force, okay?"
Then, Yang Dingtian and the others only felt an incomparably powerful energy directly suppress the entire huge cave.
The six of them were completely unable to move.
Yang Dingtian's Demonic Spirit Mist Cloak and invisibility were useless.
As for Yao Li and the others, they were completely unable to move.
This stone man didn't do anything at all. He actually directly restrained the six of them.
This cultivation was completely heaven-defying. It was no longer something that could be described as a Half-Sage.
If he wanted to kill Yang Dingtian, it would be completely effortless.
"Two hours ago, I killed more than ten people and snatched these five Energy Essences." The stone man waved gently.
Immediately, more than ten coffins cracked from the stone wall, and more than ten pale corpses lay inside.
These corpses were very, very terrifying and strange.
That was because the skin on their bodies was messy. For example, some were clearly women's skin, but they were put on men's bodies.
Therefore, some corpses had both women's breasts and men's sexual characteristics.
Some corpses had bearded faces and women's characteristics below.
In short, it was extremely strange, disgusting, and terrifying.
"Sorry, I'm very cruel when I attack, so I often don't have complete corpses. However, I can't bear to see them without complete corpses, but I forgot what they looked like, so I could only piece them together and bury them," the stone man said with pity.
This, this was a devil.
The stone man looked at Yang Dingtian. "Then, let's wait and try not to attack, okay?"
Of course, it was better not to attack. If they attacked, they would die, and they would die very miserably.
The stone man said, "You also have Energy Essences on you. Take them out."
Yang Dingtian took out two Energy Essences. One was level 15, and the other was level 11.
"How about this, these two Energy Essences and the lives of the six of you will be your wager.
And my wager is these five Energy Essences. "The stone man smiled and said," What do you think? "
Damn, this is your territory. You're so powerful. Of course, you can do whatever you want.
Yao Li nodded.
"If I win, you will all be killed by me, and then the two Energy Essences will be mine.
If I lose, you can live, and my five Energy Essences will be yours, "the stone man said.
Yao Li nodded.
"Okay, then our wager will begin." The stone man smiled and said, "Please choose three people to bet with me. Two out of three wins."
Yao Li was very decisive. She pointed out Yang Dingtian and Yao Zi.
Bo Lu and Yang Dingtian were very surprised. Why did she ask Yao Zi to do it?
Wasn't it more appropriate for Bo Lu to do it?
But since Yao Li had already decided, so be it.
"Okay, then it's the three of you." The stone man took out a human bone and carved three dice on the spot.
These dice were not brought by Yang Dingtian from Earth. They also had six faces in the Chaotic World. The highest point was six.
"The first round, you …" The stone man pointed at Yao Li.
Then, he made a stone bowl and shook the dice hard. Finally, he put it on the table and asked Yao Li, "Is it big or small?"
More than ten points was big, and less than nine points was small.
No one could cheat in the entire game.
Under the stone man's incomparably powerful energy field, Yang Dingtian did not know the number of the dice in the stone bowl.
Countless vengeful spirits could not be released at all.
Yao Li immediately became incomparably nervous. Because winning or losing meant losing her life.
A bead of cold sweat slid down her forehead. She bit her beautiful lips tightly.
Now, everything depended on luck.
"Big!" Yao Li decided.
Yang Dingtian could actually guess that she would choose big. This was decided by her personality.
"You lost," the stone man said indifferently.
Yao Li said, "You didn't see it. How do you know?"
The stone man said, "I rolled the points. Of course I know.
This gamble is actually betting on my understanding of human nature. I knew that you would choose big, so I specifically rolled small. "
The stone man opened the stone bowl. Sure enough, the points on it were small!
Yao Li's face immediately turned pale. She held back her tears.
She was always tough and stubborn. She could be easily seen through. That's right. Yang Dingtian could guess that she would choose big, and so could the stone man.
This stone man was not gambling at all, but playing with people's hearts.
"Your turn." The stone man looked at Yang Dingtian.
Then, he shook the dice fiercely and finally slammed it on the table. He looked at Yang Dingtian and said, "This time, of course, I still know the points. Furthermore, this point was rolled based on my understanding of your personality. So, you choose?"
Yang Dingtian held his breath. Although this place was a vacuum, he still held his breath.
His personality?
What would he choose?
Was he tough?
Was he stubborn?
If so, he would still choose big.
However, he was considered to be tough on the outside but tough on the inside. He was definitely not as tough as Yao Li.
He would never compromise on key issues. But in the details, Yang Dingtian did not care about compromising.
For example, in order to join Yao Li's team this time, Yang Dingtian did not hesitate to bend down several times.
In that case, he should choose small.
However, clearly knowing that his personality was guessed by the other party, then Yang Dingtian would turn around and choose big.
With this kind of twist and turn, the stone man guessed Yang Dingtian's personality and would open a small one.
Then, if Yang Dingtian carried out the reverse deduction, should it be small?
Because the stone man speculated about Yang Dingtian, Yang Dingtian also speculated about the stone man.
The result of this reverse deduction, Yang Dingtian should be small!
"Big!" Yang Dingtian said directly.
After saying that, Yang Dingtian broke out in cold sweat. His entire body went limp as if he did not have any strength.
Since he said the answer, then it was up to fate.
If Yang Dingtian lost, the six people would lose their lives.
The stone man was stunned and opened the stone bowl.
Won!
18 points, indeed, it could not be any bigger.
Immediately, the six people's minds suddenly relaxed. Their small lives were finally saved by half.
The stone man said in surprise, "According to your personality, you should have chosen small. Why did you choose big?"
Yang Dingtian said, "I'm not very confident in my intelligence, so no matter what I deduced, giving the opposite answer might be better."
The stone man was stunned. "That works?"
Finally, the stone man looked at Yao Zi and said, "Okay, it's your turn."
Not only was Yao Zi not afraid, she was instead full of excitement and anticipation. This kind of thing seemed to be very exciting to her.
The stone man continued to shake the dice. This time, he shook it for a full two minutes. Then, he slammed the stone bowl on the table and said, "Okay, you can guess now."
"Big!" Yao Zi said impatiently without hesitation.
The stone man was even more surprised. "Why, why?
You didn't even think? "
Yao Zi pointed at Yang Dingtian. "I want the same answer as him."
The stone man was even more surprised. "Why, why?"
Yao Zi said, "Anyway, you don't understand."
The stone man lifted the stone bowl helplessly. It was indeed big, 18 points.
"Wow … I'm so good." Yao Zi cheered.
The stone man could have cheated, but he did not.
Because to him, the real game was much more interesting.
All these years, he had won almost all the time.
Because he could always guess the thoughts of some people. Even if he could not guess one occasionally, he would still win if it was best of three.
The stone man pushed the five Energy Essences in his hand and handed them to Yao Li. "Okay, you win."
Yao Li took all five Energy Essences.
However, Yang Dingtian's heart didn't relax!
Because so many years had passed. It was impossible that the stone man had not lost even once.
However, no one had ever walked out of his cave abode. Because the legend of the stone man had never been spread in Little Western Paradise.
So, it was not over yet.
However, Yang Dingtian pretended not to know anything and got up to leave.
At that moment, the stone man suddenly said, "Oh right, there's one last bet. You'll answer, okay?"
The stone man pointed at Yang Dingtian.
As expected, Yang Dingtian nodded.
"I'll ask a question. Do you answer yes or no? If you answer yes, I'll let you go.
If you answer wrong, I'll kill you. "The stone man smiled and said," Okay? "
Yang Dingtian nodded.
"Do you think I'll let you go?" The stone man asked with a smile.
Suddenly, the stone man's blurry face became extremely cunning.
No matter how Yang Dingtian answered this question, it was a dead end.
The answer was no.
The answer in the stone man's heart was that he would not let them go.
Because for hundreds of years, no one had left alive.
So if he answered yes, he would answer wrong and die.
If he answered that he would not let them go, congratulations, he would not let them go. He would stay and die.
This incomparably powerful and incomparably boring stone man revealed the cunning and shamelessness of a powerhouse!
At this time, almost everyone would bet that he would let them go.
Therefore, everyone answered incorrectly and died.
Yao Li's face turned cold, and she said, "You're shameless."
The stone man smiled and said, "As a powerhouse, I'm already considered reasonable. Moreover, I've already given you five Energy Essences."
Yao Li said, "But you said that if we won the bet just now, you wouldn't kill us."
The stone man smiled and said, "But I didn't say that if you won, I would let you go."
Yao Li still wanted to distinguish right from wrong but was stopped by Yang Dingtian with a wave of his hand.
The stone man said to Yang Dingtian, "You have to answer because if you refuse to answer, you'll also lose and die."
Yang Dingtian looked at the stone man. He would not answer yes, nor would he answer no, because that was death.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian looked at the stone man and said, "You said that a long, long time ago, the person who taught you how to speak was called Xuwu Piaoyan, right?"
Immediately, the stone cave trembled.
