Are you insulting me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene made it clear to everyone: they had only one choice—enter one room and spend the entire night inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what items they’d obtained, Wu Xian didn’t care; all he saw was that they all seemed happier after coming out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunger had made people emotionally unstable; Aunt He kept babbling, spouting gloomy remarks and sarcastic complaints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Daorong walked over to Qi Peiyě and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, using tombstones as stoves and firewood was easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smell stimulated everyone’s nostrils and taste buds; they all realized that if they had to enter a room, the banquet hall was the best option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the spirit hall, banquet hall, study, clothing shop, guest room—all five rooms were now accessible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave everyone a boost; they took turns entering the shrine room, and when they came out, their expressions were noticeably relaxed, their spirits visibly improved, and their anxious, uncertain moods eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only this much supply, they couldn’t last ten or eight days—not even tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the rooms held unknown dangers, entering them was necessary to leave the blessed land; now everyone had their worship items, so they weren’t completely defenseless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian’s lips curled upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second time, third time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Guan Daorong had changed the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Daorong sneered: “If we’re truly desperate, someone among us will have to sacrifice themselves—to become our food through this crisis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze suggested he was looking for someone to test his new ability on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire area was graveyard—no birds, no bugs, nothing. Luckily, they’d found the crashed bus and scavenged some supplies from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems this shrine is purely a bonus room among the eight—like a divine mercy extended to ordinary people in the blessed land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also some plastic bags for preventing vomiting, a shovel, and a crowbar as collective supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t know what’s inside each room. If most people enter one room, we could all be wiped out with no survivors…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the banquet hall tomb mound emitted music and the enticing aroma of food…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength is courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Dian chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the shrine room’s information was obtained by Wu Xian and his group at risk, Wu Xian had no objection to helping everyone grow stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they had worship items, they no longer felt fundamentally different from Wu Xian and Hu Yun—everyone had power, everyone understood the blessed land. Why should we follow you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt He turned a dull story into a dramatic tale; He Gai and others listened intently, but Guan Daorong grew irritated—he disliked people emphasizing his failures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian and Du E immediately prepared themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He favored this talisman most—it was just so fun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around them, the graveyard began to reveal swaying tree shadows; monstrous forms faintly emerged from the thickets…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Daorong grinned wickedly: “The one who sacrifices? Naturally, it’ll be the person everyone hates!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt He was deeply disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving, they’d walked in one direction—but after only a short distance, they saw the same clearing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, they hadn’t eaten since last night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As most people began heading toward the banquet hall, Hu Yunkuan suddenly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian could do nothing for now, so he gathered evenly sized stones nearby and tried building a small stove—so when the supply seekers returned with food and firewood, they could heat it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian and his group revealed their findings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you even behave?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Xian had already predicted this would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While building the stove, Wu Xian had seen Guan Daorong’s group several times; each time, their faces grew darker, until finally they stopped on the flat ground, abandoning any hope of finding an exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shrine room suddenly shut and could not be opened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, the sky darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian carefully climbed the stairs, encountered no danger, and walked out of the tomb mound safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt He’s voice cut off abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Daorong began trying to leave markers—even drawing lines on the ground—but it did nothing; they always returned to the same spot…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they stayed on this clearing, they would be devoured by monsters emerging from the graveyard—this time, no Hu steward would come to save them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Yunkuan also returned with his group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Peiyě blinked: “You mean…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All five closed doors had opened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That tiny amount of supplies had to be saved for survival; only a few couldn’t hold back and ate the sausages—the rest endured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thick skin could take hits, but the enemy didn’t have steel bones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian unhesitatingly took out the Shared Injury Spell from his qi; the Heavenly Official statue vanished instantly, dissolving into a swirl of colorful mist, leaving only eight statues in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interiors of the five tomb mounds remained unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Xian had Hard Qi Gong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Dian and Du E both relaxed, then entered in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone would find out this information eventually—better to tell them now, raise their survival odds, and help them gather intel on the other rooms for Wu Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Yunkuan noticed their glances, beads of sweat forming on his forehead—his nervous habit flared up again—but he still tried to explain clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d gained a little, but only a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wu Xian came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was a bit suicidal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere grew oppressive again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they had to enter a tomb mound, they had to pick the best one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The favored and newcomers were cold and hungry—they had no firewood to burn and no food to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop right there! Only five people may enter the banquet hall!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those wanting to enter the banquet hall all turned to Hu Yunkuan, especially the newcomers, whose dissatisfaction was plain on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were the only Shared Injury Spell, it’d be useless—its effect isn’t damage reflection; it transfers the exact damage you take to the enemy. Even if you kill them, you still take the same damage yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, this first large-scale entry into the rooms is extremely valuable—we must spread out to gather more information from inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing these three chapters, I felt they were rough, so I revised them—added a few hundred words or so.
