God Bestows Evil

Chapter 414 Foot Bugs and Vines

In art class, the teacher once said.

The mystery of 'Mona Lisa's Smile' is that no matter which angle you look at it, you will feel that the person in the portrait is looking at you.

Later, Wu Xian discovered that this was not mysterious at all. Photos of older sisters in cosmetics advertisements on the street had the same effect.

But the old lady’s photo was different.

No matter which angle Wu Xian looked at, the eyes in the photo were all moving around. This photo was alive, and the old lady was peeping at everyone through the photo.

Wu Xian's teeth were slightly sore.

If the body had been thrown farther away, we wouldn't have had this trouble.

Now this old lady has regarded the charred corpse as a ghost house, and throwing Huang Debiao's body away is equivalent to demolishing it...

"Grandma, come out and talk?"

"Aunt?"

"elder sister?"

Wu Xian changed his names several times, but the old lady had no intention of communicating with him.

He still had many things to do, and he couldn't spend them all on the old lady, so he could only give up communicating with her for the time being.

The red-lipped female ghost didn't do any tricks last night, and the old lady just wanted a home. None of the evil spirits summoned so far had any intention of hurting anyone, so letting the old lady stay in the cave might not be a bad thing.

He endured his nausea, ate the spider meat, and asked the others to look at the old lady, then went into the cave to explore again with an arm torch.

…

In a dark cave.

Wu Xian walked briskly.

Compared with the previous times, Wu Xian felt much more relaxed, and even had a traveling mentality. Many strange monsters gave him the joy of seeing toys.

Changes in mentality come from changes in strength.

The equipment Wu Xian carried could be regarded as replacing a shotgun with a cannon.

He brought six torches alone, all of which he made himself. Although not as skilled as Huang Debiao and his wife, Wu Xian had higher quality kerosene, so the brightness and burning time of the torches were better than before.

In addition to the torch, the 'Fox Fire Lantern Technique' also gave Wu Xian the confidence that even if the torch was lost, he would not fall into darkness.

More importantly, Fat Tiger.

After Fat Tiger was strengthened by Suanni Yuhu, his strength and intelligence improved a little. Now he is not as stupid as before. He can follow some simple instructions from Wu Xian and no longer needs to rely on luck to make him cooperate like before.

The direction Wu Xian was heading was towards the small cave where Xiong Gang was.

Yesterday, Xiong Gang refused to come over because he was worried about being rejected by others, but this problem has been solved by Wu Xian, so there is no need to let Xiong Gang stay outside anymore.

Xiong Gang, who is physically strong, is a very valuable fighting force. With him, the exploration of Wu Xian will be much easier.

He brought six arm torches, three of which were prepared for Xiong Gang.

The road in the cave is different from yesterday, but Xiong Gang said that the location of the small cave will not change, so Wu Xian should be able to find Xiong Gang as long as he follows the direction.

Snap, snap...

Just after walking a certain distance, Wu Xian heard footsteps.

The sound of footsteps was accompanied by heavy breathing. This combination of sounds made Wu Xian's heart palpitate subconsciously, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

When he first came to this blessed place, he was chased by the thing that made this sound, which caused a small psychological shadow.

Wu Xian stood there.

Wait for the monster to come.

As long as he kills this thing, he can dispel this psychological shadow.

His voice became more and more impatient, his breathing became tighter, and Wu Xian's pressure became more and more intense, but he waited for a long time and didn't see anything attacking. Wu Xian's expression gradually became weird.

He stood there, carefully discerned the sound, then raised the torch and looked upward.

As a result, it was discovered that there were several human feet above the cave!

These feet have no ankles, only soles and toes. Some small claws emerge from the soles of the feet, controlling the soles of the feet to tap the rock wall, imitating a sound similar to footsteps.

Where the ankle should have been, there was an insect's mouth. Whenever the sole of the foot tapped the rock wall, the mouth made a sound like breathing.

Wu Xian's mouth twitched.

Thinking back now, during the whole process of his embarrassment and escape, he was not attacked by the monster, nor did he see the monster's figure. Only when he turned back at the end, he saw a fleeting shadow.

That shadow might just be the movement of the feet retracting.

What scared him at that time was not the monster, but the unknown in the darkness.

Wu Xian raised the torch and used the flames to burn the feet above the cave. The feet fell off one by one. Some looked like those of rough men, while others were white and red.

Fat Tiger took one bite at a time, chewing it crunchily, and green juice oozed from his mouth.

"These feet, let's call them foot bugs. They should be part of the ecology of this underground cave."

Wu Xian looked at Fat Tiger with disgust, sincerely hoping that these foot bugs didn't have athlete's foot.

Foot bug solved.

Wu Xian encountered another bunch of strange plants on the road.

This pile of plants seems to be just ordinary vines, crawling on the ground and rock walls on the only way forward. There are also many vines hanging above the cave. The bones in the vines show that these plants are not simple. Maybe the vines are not good. It also contains neurotoxins that can kill people.

Wu Xian thought for a while and then pushed the torch into the vines.

Wow!

The fire explodes!

The vines twisted in the flames, and in less than five minutes, all the vines were burned clean.

In fact, under normal circumstances, these vines are very troublesome. Living plants are not so easy to ignite. This vine can be regarded as a high-level danger in the cave.

But in the cave environment, Wu Xian set fire to a large number of combustible materials. With the blessing of the 'Fire Star Lord', he just lit a fire and burned all the plants.

This can only be regarded as bad luck for these plants.

Wu Xian got a statue of Huode Xingjun and two incense sticks.

He thought for a while and asked Fat Tiger to carry everything on his back, preparing to worship the gods together when they returned to the cave. This would not only save time, but also allow for better matching of abilities.

Then he crossed the crack, jumped down the short slope, and finally came to the small cave where Xiong Gang was.

But what surprised Wu Xian was.

Xiong Gang was not in the small cave.

There have been a lot of changes here compared to yesterday. The candles were half burned, and the ashes left by the bonfire on the ground were still warm to the touch. It was obvious that the bear had just left not long ago.

In addition, there were traces of blood and fighting, and the traces disappeared at the entrance of a cave.

"Xiong Gang is alone. There is no need to light a bonfire. He should have met other survivors."

"The two of them were attacked by a monster. After a fight, the monster kidnapped the other person. Xiong Gang escaped... No, looking at this trace, it seems that Xiong Gang chased him in this direction."

"You have to follow the traces to see...this may be a trap."

Just as Wu Xian was hesitating, he suddenly heard a male scream coming from afar.

"Ahhh!"

The direction of the scream was consistent with the trace, but it was not Xiong Gang's voice.

Wu Xian patted the tiger's head.

"Let's go and have a look."
