God Bestows Evil

Chapter 394 Light the palace lantern again

What happened next.

Huang Debiao doesn’t remember clearly.

He only remembered that he was frightened to the point of losing his mind and fled from home in a panic, like a stray dog ​​that was frightened by the sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve and could only huddle in a damp corner, shivering.

After that, Huang Debiao's life was very difficult. No matter where he lived, he could hear the strange sound of marbles and receive a house transaction contract at midnight.

I don’t know how long this kind of day lasted.

Slowly, the contract no longer appeared and the sound of marbles disappeared. Huang Debiao got rid of the haze and met an artistic girl who attracted him. The two fell in love and finally came together.

The reason why Huang Debiao agreed to travel with Xia Caoqing as a newlywed was because he was afraid of the contract, so he wanted to take this opportunity to escape from the city for a while.

Xia Caoqing listened to the whole story.

She didn't show any surprise, she just held Huang Debiao's hand and said softly.

"If we can survive in this dark cave, we will find a way to take the house back when we go back."

Wu Xian rolled his eyes.

Take a ghost, don't seek death, this is not a pleasant thing to say, this is a standard flag!

Others also had their own reactions to this story.

The mad woman listened very carefully and frowned from time to time, as if she was trying to analyze the information from the story. This performance made Wu Xian very concerned.

Gong Xiujuan was so frightened that she shivered.

Xiong Gang scratched his ears with his thick fingers, his eyes a little confused. He didn't understand the horror of this story at all.

After a small moment.

The palace lantern held by the big-eared statue lit up, and the warm yellow light illuminated the entire cave again.

The sudden change in light seemed to bring everyone from night to day in an instant. A sense of security instantly rose in their hearts, and the negative emotions accumulated due to the darkness were slightly relieved.

Blah, blah, blah...

Everyone could hear the sound of dense footsteps, and countless things in the darkness were evacuating from the entrance of the cave. It seemed that their previous movements had attracted many things in the cave.

The big spider was just an outpost.

If everyone couldn't deal with that spider, more things might attack.

"Tomorrow's fire should be slightly brighter, otherwise it will be too dangerous."

Speaking of fires.

The moment the palace lantern was lit, the mad woman started to put out the fire. The lantern was already on, and it would be a waste of resources to continue burning it.

Wu Xian used the light of the palace lantern to look at the surrounding environment and found that there were three obvious differences between the cave and the last time it was lit.

One is a temple.

The curtain in front of the temple door is slightly open. Without getting close, you can vaguely see the black statue of the statue inside, with a crown on its head.

The second place is a corner of the cave.

There is an additional wooden sculpture there. Judging from the outline, this wooden sculpture is somewhat similar to the 'Southern Three Qi Fire Virtue Star Lord' that Wu Xiang just worshiped, but the statue looks like it has just been carved halfway.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wu Xian's eyes.

"It seems that the output of idols in this blessed land is indeed related to burning. As long as enough wood is burned, idols will appear. When burning buildings outside, they will burn at high speed and directly produce idols. When lighting bonfires in caves, they will appear slowly. Progress bar for accumulating idols.”

"It seems like there should be no shortage of statues here, so it's time to hunt more monsters and get the incense."

The third difference is the traces on the ground.

In order to separate the two corpses, a lot of blood was left on the ground, some green and some red, as well as some dirt from the stomach pouch and grease accidentally spilled when cooking oil.

According to common sense, these stains should be very difficult to remove.

Before, the bonfire was dim and difficult to observe, but now that the palace lanterns were on, Wu Xian found that there was very little blood on the ground, as if it had been devoured in just a few hours.

Wu Xian suddenly felt cold all over.

"This dark cave is alive!" If this cave is alive, then many traces may have been swallowed up. Wu Xian cannot determine how many people died in this cave before the mad woman.

Think about it for a moment.

Wu Xian stopped and thought.

Thinking is important, but now is a rare relatively safe time, and he must seize the time to rest.

After hesitating for two seconds, Wu Xian came to Fat Hu, curled up next to Fat Hu's belly, rested his head on Fat Hu's knees and closed his eyes.

Someone should have been keeping vigil over sleeping in a blessed place, but the other five people didn't understand, and Wu Xian didn't understand either.

but.

First of all, everyone is very tired now, and no one wants to miss precious rest time.

Secondly, Wu Xian doesn't trust anyone in the team now.

Yes.

He doesn't believe anyone!

After entering this blessed place, there were many mysteries. Wu Xian already had several conjectures in his mind, and he still needed a little more testing in the future.

As for now.

Let’s rely on Fat Tiger.

In this environment, beasts are much more reliable than humans.

…

Wu Xian closed his eyes.

Within a few minutes, he fell into a deep sleep. Whenever there was any disturbance, the fat tiger would open his eyes and scan around. It seemed to be very lazy, but in fact, it had always maintained the vigilance unique to wild beasts.

A few hours later.

Wow!

Huang Debiao sat up and looked at the temple blankly, his expression was very complicated, a little confused, but also a little surprised.

It wasn't until Xia Caoqing pulled him that he shivered, then lay down and fell asleep holding Xia Caoqing.

For a moment, the entire cave was filled with the sound of snoring.

In the darkness of a cave around the cave, a wrinkled old man's hand slowly poked out. The palm of his hand grasped at everyone, but after being illuminated by the light, he slowly retracted his fingers as if he had been burned.

Eight hours passed in a blink of an eye.

Wu Xian opened his eyes.

I found that the palace lantern had started to turn yellow.

Sleeping in Fat Tiger's arms is very comfortable and warm. The area close to the tiger's skin is even a little hot, and he feels very safe.

The only drawback is that the tiger's hair is a bit stiff and has a bit of a stinky smell, not as fragrant and soft as a kitten's.

"Speaking of which, Aunt Hei has always wanted to raise a cat."

“These days, people want to keep pets.”

Wu Xian yawned and got up from Fat Tiger. He first walked to Huang Debiao, looked at the time, and then took the time to wake everyone up and relight the fire.

It had only been a few minutes since the fire had been lit.

Snap!

The palace lantern went out.

There was only the flickering firelight left in the cave again, but this time the firelight was much brighter than before. Increasing the light was not only safer, but also increased the speed at which the statue appeared.

After getting up, everyone peed, boiled water, and tried to cheer themselves up.

Wu Xian noticed that except for himself, everyone's mental outlook was much better than a few hours ago, and the mental stress was relieved in the light and sleep.

Everyone is gearing up and packing their equipment.

Even before going to sleep, everyone had planned to start exploring once the palace lanterns went out!
