A Low-Probability Event
Outside the Demon Suppression Tower, Clark and his companion realized that Gu Ding and the others had been gone for some time, and there was no point in continuing to entangle with Aurora.
"Let's retreat too," Clark shouted to Brog. He wasn't worried that Aurora would hear him, because Aurora could no longer understand human language at all. Even the sounds coming from his throat weren't human voices, but rather the roars of beasts.
Brog nodded, took the lead in withdrawing from the battle, and rushed towards the Demon Suppression Tower.
Just as his figure disappeared from the entrance of the Demon Suppression Tower, Clark also rushed towards the Demon Suppression Tower.
Seeing the two suddenly disappear, Aurora felt something was strange; he had even completely lost his ability to sense their presence. However, given his current intelligence, he wasn't clever enough to follow them into the Demon Suppression Tower's gate. Instead, he began searching around.
After Brog entered the tower, he tried to contact Lolo Li using the same method as before, but found that the Local Area Network that worked outside the tower no longer worked inside.
Just then, Clark came in. "What are you doing standing here? Let's go! That guy will definitely catch up soon!"
"I don't know which way to go..." Brog looked at Clark with some helplessness.
Clark looked around, his gaze settling on a few small pebbles not far to his right. "Go to the right!"
"How did you know?" Brog looked at him with some suspicion.
"Gale left a mark." Clark didn't intend to explain further. He darted straight to the right, and Brog immediately followed.
"Hey, are you sure this is the right direction? We've been flying for over an hour already!" Brog was increasingly suspicious that Clark had led them astray.
"There's no mistake. I've seen Gale's mark three times along the way. Only people from our Top Organization can recognize this mark." Clark stopped abruptly as soon as he finished speaking.
"There's a smell of blood ahead..." Brog sniffed, smelling the blood coming from not far away.
"We'll turn left!" Clark's gaze was fixed on the roots of a dead tree. After confirming the information Gale had left behind, he headed to the left.
The two made three more turns and spent more than two hours before finally seeing a portal.
There were still many traces of Beast Blood left in front of the portal, obviously left by Liliath and her companions.
The two stepped through the gate one after the other. Before their eyes was only a blur, yet they were still in a desolate wasteland, just like on the First Level.
"This should be the Second Level, right?" Brog looked around. The environment in front of him was still a wasteland, not much different from the First Level, except that the positions of various stones and trees had changed.
"Left!" This time, Clark sped off to the left, and Brog immediately followed.
Unbeknownst to them, shortly after the two entered the Second Level, Aurora also finally stepped into the Demon Suppression Tower. He twitched his nose slightly, then sped off to the right, his flight speed more than ten times faster than Clark and the others...
At this moment, Liliath and her group had already reached the tenth floor.
Under the guidance of the Sea Emperor, Liliath was able to find the right door every time.
This made Gale even more certain that this was definitely not something that intuition could do, nor was it a coincidence.
Lolo Li also noticed this, but neither of them said anything.
The environments on these ten levels are all similar, with only minor differences. The only other difference is the strength of the monsters.
This tenth level is filled with demonic beasts at the peak of the second star level, whose Combat Strength is above that of Five-Star Mid-rank God.
Standing at the entrance to the tenth floor, Gale expressed his concern, "Above that are three-star demonic beasts. Even the weakest three-star demonic beasts are still at the level of High-rank God. With our strength, we can handle one or two, but if we encounter a horde, we can only run. Moreover, each floor's entrance is guarded by hordes of over ten thousand beasts. Even if we know where the entrance to the twelfth floor is, it's impossible to enter the twelfth floor from the eleventh floor."
Unlike the previous times, Liliath did not follow the route given by the Sea Emperor as soon as she entered. Instead, she stood still and waited for the Sea Emperor to give instructions.
"He's right, I've considered that too, so we're going to take a risky step," Sea Emperor spoke again. "This time, we won't go through the real door, we'll go through the fake door!"
Liliath was taken aback and almost couldn't help but ask why they had to use the fake door. Her doubts didn't last long, however, as the Sea Emperor provided an explanation.
"Whether it's the real door or the fake door, both are guarded by hordes of demonic beasts. If we enter the eleventh floor, we won't be able to go through either the real or fake door, because the hordes of three-star demonic beasts are beyond our ability to overcome. And the demonic beasts on the eleventh floor pose no threat to Aurora, so we cannot go up to the eleventh floor."
"I've also checked the fake door on this floor. There are two different teleportation points. One teleports you directly to the Sixth Layer, and the other teleports you to the sixteenth floor. The probability of each teleportation point is 50%. If you go directly to the sixteenth floor, everyone will be safe, because I can make sure you avoid all areas where monsters exist. And the monsters on the sixteenth floor are all four-star monsters, possessing the strength of Peak-rank God. Killing Aurora won't be difficult."
"But if it's a teleportation back to the Sixth Layer, then you'll have to climb up again. Aurora has just entered the First Level, and it will take him some time to get to the Sixth Layer. If someone is teleported to the Sixth Layer, they'll have to climb up to the tenth floor again and enter the fake door once more."
"My only concern right now is, what if you are all teleported to the sixteenth floor, and Gu Ding and Tagore, the two sleeping guys, are teleported to the Sixth Layer?" The Sea Emperor himself also had some concerns about the solution he proposed.
"Wasn't it supposed to be a 50/50 chance?" Liliath wondered.
"The probability of getting heads or tails when flipping a coin is 50%, but sometimes it's possible to get heads or tails several times in a row. Probability is sometimes very accurate, and sometimes it's just nonsense." The Sea Emperor seemed to have guessed Liliath's doubts and continued to explain.
Liliath made a decision in an instant, turning to the crowd and saying, "This time we'll go through the fake door!"
"The false door is located at two o'clock. It's an hour and a half straight ahead. Along the way, you'll encounter two small groups of monsters, numbering less than ten thousand." The Sea Emperor knew that whether they stayed on the tenth floor or went to the eleventh floor, the final result would be the same: being slaughtered by Aurora. The only way for everyone to survive was to go through the false door.
An hour and a half later, Liliath and her group finally arrived at the entrance of the fake door and quickly slaughtered the General Beast. The horde of two-star monsters did not pose much of a problem for Liliath and her group, who possessed area-of-effect attacks. General Beast out in less than twenty minutes.
"I'll go in last, Dokter, you guys go in first!" Along the way, Liliath also had the Sea Emperor explain the situation of the fake door to Bigge and the others. If Gu Ding was teleported into the Sixth Layer, anyone else who entered the Sixth Layer must be responsible for bringing Gu Ding back.
Dokter was the first to step inside. Sea Emperor quickly detected him and teleported him to the sixteenth level. He whispered in Liliath's ear, "Dokter has entered the sixteenth level!"
"Next!"
Robert was the second to enter, and Robert was also teleported to the sixteenth floor.
Next up was Elsa, who was also teleported to the sixteenth floor.
Just as Bigge was about to step inside with Gu Ding on his back, Liliath stopped him. "Bigge, wait a minute, we'll go in last!"
Lolo Li and Gale also stepped through the gate one after another, and they were both teleported to the sixteenth floor.
"What's going on? Is this door broken? Five people have gone in and reached the sixteenth floor already." Liliath frowned.
"If we consider a 50% probability, there's a high chance that the rest of us will all enter the Sixth Layer." Bigge had also heard about the teleportation situation through the fake door from the Sea Emperor, and immediately offered words of comfort, "At worst, the four of us can just go through the Sixth Layer again."
Suddenly, Blue popped his head Gu Ding's pocket.
"You forgot, there's also Blue, so there are five of us." Liliath felt a little more relaxed, glanced at Tagore who was still fast asleep on her shoulder, and nodded to Bigge. "Let's go!"
Bigge, carrying Gu Ding on his back, was the first to step through the gate.
A moment later, the Sea Emperor brought bad news. "Bigge and Blue have both entered the sixteenth level, while Gu Ding has been teleported to the Sixth Layer..."
"How could this be?!" Liliath's expression changed upon hearing this.
"Now it's all up to you." The Sea Emperor was somewhat speechless.
Liliath took a deep breath, knowing there was no turning back, and immediately closed her eyes and stepped into the portal.
"Which floor is this?" Liliath realized that Tagore on her shoulder had disappeared, and all she could see was a desolate wasteland. She couldn't recognize which floor she was on.
"You and Tagore have both been teleported to the sixteenth floor. Although the door is set to teleport you to the sixteenth floor, the location to enter the sixteenth floor is random and different for each person," the Sea Emperor explained.
"So, the Sixth Layer only has Gu Ding?" Liliath was stunned by this news. "Why is that?!"
"I'll figure out another way to deal with Gu Ding. You all need to get to a safe place and hide as soon as possible. This is the sixteenth floor, and all the monsters here are four-star level. Although they are few in number, none of them are something you can fight against. Tagore is closest to Bigge, and I've already sent him there. Elsa and the others are heading towards a safe place; you should go there as soon as possible too!" The Sea Emperor explained his arrangements.
Liliath nodded, composed herself, and ran toward the route given by the Sea Emperor.
Gu Ding was teleported to the Sixth Layer alone, which was something the Sea Emperor hadn't anticipated. What troubled the Sea Emperor even more was that the location Gu Ding was teleported to was less than ten kilometers away from the outpost of a group of demonic beasts...
