God Bestows Evil

Chapter 382: Lights and Ghost Stories - Beginning in Darkness

Dark, damp, corrupt.

The nose was filled with the smell of dead branches and leaves that had been left in the mud for several days.

Wu Xian opened his eyes, but saw nothing, so he opened his eyes several more times...

It was so dark in front of him that Wu Xian couldn't be sure whether there was something wrong with his eyes or whether there was really no light source around him.

Wu Xian thought for a while, then unzipped his clothes and rubbed the lining sweater vigorously a few times. Only after seeing weak electric sparks did he confirm that he was really in a lightless environment.

After the dinner at the new house.

Wu Xian waited for another two days before he found a good day and put on heavy clothes. Then he asked Hei Gu to cook some meat dishes. He ate meat until he felt like vomiting, so he used the 'Single Person' Blessed Land' invitation letter, entering a new blessed land.

As a result, as soon as I came in, it was this dark environment.

Since he didn't know what was around him, Wu Xian didn't act rashly. He took off his coat, wrapped it in his hands, and groped forward carefully.

During the exploration process, Wu Xian's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

He wanted to touch something to understand his situation, but he was also afraid that he would touch something strange and make his situation worse.

Soon Wu Xian figured out two things.

The first thing is that this is not a closed space because the air is fresh and you can feel the wind.

The second thing is that this place should be in the wild, because the ground is uneven and there are occasional water drops on the head.

"I should be in a cave or an underground cave. The most important thing now is to find the light source. Otherwise, I can't do anything in this environment."

Snap.

A soft, slippery, pencil-thick thing landed on Wu Xian's neck, and then squirmed and crawled...

Wu Xian performed a silent mechanical dance on the spot.

After panicking for a while, he removed the thing from his neck. It might be some kind of worm. Normally, it shouldn't be dangerous, but it almost destroyed Wu Xian's mentality.

Wu Xian is not afraid of bugs. He has a relatively ordinary attitude towards bugs. He keeps a respectful distance from bugs. He will not scream when he sees them, but he will not deliberately get close to them.

But what if that thing isn't a worm?

What if it's poisonous?

What if you like to eat people?

What if you just emerged from the cesspit?

Wu Xian knew nothing about this blessed place, and now he just wanted a bright light to help him quickly see the true appearance of this blessed place.

Otherwise, Wu Xian would not be able to guarantee that his mental state would remain healthy.

The only good thing here is that the surrounding area is quite spacious. Wu Xian touched around a few times and found that although he also touched the rock wall, the space for movement was still quite large.

If it is both dark and small, the sense of depression will skyrocket.

Wu Xian put his hand on the rock wall. The surface was rough and uneven, with some traces of moisture. He didn't feel anything like fat or internal organs. Wu Xian felt relieved. It seemed like an ordinary cave.

He stopped and put his ear to the rock wall.

The seemingly quiet cave suddenly became lively, and various sounds poured into Wu Xian's ears.

Chirp, snap, click, hiss...

These small sounds should be left by small creatures. These small creatures are part of the ecosystem in the cave. At least for now, they pose no threat to Wu Xian.

roar!

Suddenly, Wu Xian heard a roar!

The sound was rough and unpleasant, half like an animal and half like a human being. It was difficult to identify what kind of creature it was.

But since the sound appeared, some of those tiny creatures stopped moving, and some began to crawl in one direction... They were avoiding the owner of the sound!

Wu Xian swallowed, and then he heard the footsteps of that thing.

Step, step, step...

The thing's pace was leisurely, as if it was taking a walk, but its voice was getting closer and closer, and it was obviously coming towards Wu Xian.

Wu Xian didn't care to continue listening. He stood up and wanted to run away, but found that he couldn't tell where the sound came from. He could only press his hands on the rock wall again. It wasn't until a escaping bug bumped into his hand that Wu Xian confirmed it. East-west direction.

Coming towards him.

It might be an evil spirit, it might be a beast, or it might be a human being.

Wu Xian didn't want to gamble or fight with the opponent. This environment was really not suitable for any fight.

He touched the wall with one hand, enduring the bugs that crawled over his hands from time to time, and waved slowly with the other hand to explore the obstacles ahead, and his pace couldn't help but get faster and faster.

Bang!

Because Wu Xian was anxious, he did not explore the way forward and hit his head on a raised stone.

Because of his naturally thick skin, Wu Xian was not seriously injured in this collision, but the sound traveled far.

Tap tap, tap tap tap!

The thing that was gradually approaching Wu Xian quickened its pace!

Wu Xian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He didn't care about the temptation and quickened his pace. He now missed the Ruyi telescopic stick from the last blessed place. In this situation, if he had a stick, his sense of security would at least increase a lot.

But even if Wu Xian has reached the speed limit, he can still only reach the speed of the old man walking. This is already the speed limit in a dark environment.

The weird sounds were getting closer and closer, and Wu Xian's back felt cold. He always felt as if something was about to touch him. He even heard heavy breathing and smelled some kind of putrid smell.

It's not a human being, and the person behind it is definitely not a human being!

Wu Xian held a playing card.

This time in the blessed land, he brought two tools for worshiping gods, one was the magic weapon 'Yam Luo Tie', and the other was the magic weapon 'Suanni Tiger Taming'. He could summon a tiger at any time to assist in the battle.

Wu Xian didn't know if the tiger was a match for that thing in the darkness, but having his own creature there could greatly relieve Wu Xian's tension.

boom!

suddenly.

There was a loud noise in front of Wu Xian, followed by the sound of something falling from a height, and a human scream of pain.

Along with this sound.

Tracking Wu Xian's things, his steps stopped slightly.

What surprised Wu Xian even more was that a bright light came from the direction of the sound!

This light in the darkness gave Wu Xian hope.

Although it was very weak, with this light, Wu Xian had confirmed that there was no big obstacle ahead, so he ran away, running towards the front with all his might, and the footsteps behind him suddenly accelerated.

The further he ran, the brighter the light became, and the tracking sounds behind him stopped unconsciously.

When the light became clear enough, Wu Xian regained some of his courage. He braked suddenly and turned back, wanting to see what was chasing him, but he only saw a shadow retreating into the darkness.

As for what the shadow looks like, there is currently no way of knowing.

Wu Xian hesitated for a while, put away Suanni Yuhu's playing cards, walked around a rock, and finally saw where the light came from.

That's a lantern!
