I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today - Chapter 682

Chapter 682: Chapter 682: Number 6
 

The tense atmosphere continued until the fishing boat passed through the cave entrance.

—Cave No. 2, there was no mermaid monster.

Everyone on the boat was somewhat bewildered. Had they actually managed to pass through successfully?

Asarina’s emotions shifted from disbelief and shock to exhilaration as if a heavy burden was lifted!

“We made it out!” she turned to Bai Youwei, her eyes wide open, “Nothing happened at No. 4, and now the same for No. 2! It seems like the even-numbered caves are safe! So, if we go through No. 6 next, can we get out of the maze?!”

Bai Youwei was stunned.

Following this logic… as Asarina pointed out, it indeed seemed like the even-numbered caves had a high likelihood of being safe.

Otherwise, how could one explain that Cave No. 1 and No. 3 were infested with fish monsters, while No. 2 and No. 4 were not?

But…

But, her sense of the caves was that there was a progressive layering. If they purely considered odds and evens, it lacked that sense of progression.

Was she overthinking it, or was Asarina being too hasty?

As Bai Youwei contemplated these things, Asarina was becoming quite impatient, her gaze fixed on Bai Youwei, asking: “What do you think? Should we go into Cave No. 6 and power through this place?”

Bai Youwei furrowed her brow slightly, still considering.

Asarina added: “After all, choosing other caves still involves risks, right? We might as well try No. 6, perhaps we can really make it out.”

Fearing Bai Youwei’s disagreement, she lowered her voice and earnestly added: “Moreover, we still have half a catch on the boat. Even if we encounter three fish monsters, we should be able to handle it.”

Bai Youwei looked at Asarina.

At such a moment, unless she could propose a more effective plan, there was no reason to stop Asarina.

Besides, what Asarina said did make sense. Risks were inevitable. Choosing any other cave would still be dangerous. If that was the case, why not select No. 6, which had a higher probability of being safe?

Bai Youwei spoke softly: “If you insist, then prepare yourself.”

Asarina’s gaze was resolute as she nodded her agreement.

The two decided, and after passing caves No. 4 and No. 2, the fishing boat began to navigate towards Cave No. 6.

All the caves were the same.

After progressing a distance in the darkness, Bai Youwei smelled the familiar stench and her heart sank.

She turned her head to look at Asarina near the cabin door, unsurprisingly, Asarina’s face had also turned ugly.

Fear and even more so, disappointment surged within them. Because they had been wrong again.

On the other side, Along’s expression was equally serious.

It seemed, everyone had smelled that scent.

Bai Youwei gestured to Pan Xiaoxin in the cockpit.

Pan Xiaoxin nodded, silently altered the course and began to reverse the boat.

But what was fated to come, still came.

The boat’s speed could never outpace the monsters in the water.

They heard the sound of splashing water, as if something was rushing up from the water, shortly afterward, that something began to hit the hull of the boat!

Thump! Thump!

The massive fishtail smacked the water’s surface and the mermaid monster leapt several meters high! It clung to the edge of the boat, revealing its wet, triangular head!

“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”

With its jaws wide open, revealing sharp teeth, it issued a threatening warning at them! Intent on tearing these invaders who dared to violate its territory to shreds!

Asarina pressed her hands against the cabin door, roaring: “Come on! You stupid things!!!”

The three mermaid monsters, as if provoked, puffed up the ruffs around their necks! They scrambled towards Asarina!

Asarina yanked the cabin door open abruptly!

In an instant, the stench of the dead fish filled the air, driving the mermaid monsters crazed! They hurriedly crawled into the cargo hold filled with dead fish beneath the deck!—
