Chapter 395

Want to extend survival time in the cave.

The most important thing is food, followed by enough dry wood. The big spider yesterday was enough to eat for two days, but the dry wood brought back yesterday had already bottomed out. In another two hours, everyone would fall into darkness.

So the most important thing for this exploration is to find dry wood, so the more people who can carry supplies, the better.

The Mad Woman is crazy, Gong Xiujuan just entered the cave and is not familiar with the situation, Xia Caoqing wanted to follow, but was strongly rejected by her husband Huang Debiao.

Therefore, the people who finally explored were Wu Xian, Huang Debiao, and Xiong Gang, three men.

Of course.

There must be a fat tiger, but except for Wu Xian, others couldn't be sure whether the fat tiger would follow actively.

Each of the three brought three torches, as well as spider silk ropes, and a spider foot sting as a weapon.

During the march, it must be ensured that two torches are lit at all times. After finding enough supplies, send them back to the cavern first, and try to explore many times to bring back more dry wood.

The three entered the cave entrance that Wu Xian explored yesterday, and the fat tiger followed behind as a matter of course, which made Xiong Gang and Huang Debiao feel uncomfortable, but they felt that without the fat tiger following behind, they would be even more unsafe.

This time the torches were much brighter, and the visibility was much higher. Some details on the walls could be seen clearly.

The reason for choosing this road is for safety and to avoid doing some useless work.

But just after the three entered the cave entrance for more than ten meters, Wu Xian, who was walking at the front, stopped.

Huang Debiao asked tremblingly: "W-what's wrong?"

Wu Xian pointed to the cave where the cold wind was blowing on the left and said coldly: "The road is different. There was no fork here yesterday."

Xiong Gang, who was walking at the end, was surprised: "You mean the route of this cave will change?"

"Then what are we exploring? Let's go back to the cavern first. If we don't walk far, the way back will be blocked, and then we won't be able to go back at all." Huang Debiao immediately wanted to retreat.

Wu Xian shook his head: "Let's continue. There is not much dry wood left in the cave, and we have no room to retreat. During my entire exploration process yesterday, the forks were fixed, so the conditions for the cave path to change should be once a day, or once per lighting."

The change of path made Wu Xian a bit distressed, and the routes he remembered yesterday were all useless.

But he didn't feel too surprised, because Wu Xian noticed that this underground cave was alive as soon as he woke up.

If the path of the cave is fixed, over the years, even if it uses human lives, a simple map can be drawn.

The three moved forward for a distance and came to a road with many rock crevices.

Just after entering the intersection, Wu Xian stopped, and his scalp felt slightly numb.

I saw countless human fingers sticking out from the rock crevices on this road, fingers in groups of five or four, all black and gray, some holding the rock wall, some as if wanting to grab something.

Are there malevolent entities hiding in these rock crevices?

Or were many people squeezed to death by the rocks here, only exposing their fingers?

Wu Xian looked twice and wanted to change to another road.

But Xiong Gang smiled and walked over, pulling two fingers directly and shaking them in front of the two.

"This is a dead man's finger, a kind of mushroom, it just looks scary."

Wu Xian felt relieved in his heart and also pulled one. The feeling was soft and tender, and it broke with a little force. It was indeed a mushroom.

Huang Debiao asked Xiong Gang with expectation: "Can it be eaten?"

If these mushrooms can be eaten, there can be one more food source in the cave.

Xiong Gang looked embarrassed.

Wu Xian threw away the mushroom in his hand with regret. He missed the big sister Jian Lingyu who could know all herbs very much now.

"Continue exploring."

He didn't want to risk trying the taste of this mushroom.

If it's not a professional, the simplest and crudest logic for ordinary people to distinguish whether mushrooms can be eaten is that mushrooms on supermarket shelves can be eaten, and those picked by themselves cannot.

Although it was determined to be a mushroom, the three were still very careful when passing by. They walked tremblingly for more than ten meters before passing through this 'mushroom land'. And then.

They saw a small wooden house.

This wooden house was built directly with cut logs and was built in the depression of the cave. Although it was a bit small, it was complete with everything, with doors, windows, and chimneys.

Warm light shone through the windows, and the chimney was also smoking, as if something was being cooked inside.

Huang Debiao walked to the window cautiously, took a look inside, and greeted others to take a look. Xiong Gang didn't think much and leaned over.

Wu Xian looked at the backs of the two, and his gaze gradually became deep.

This exploration outside.

Actually, getting supplies is secondary. His real purpose is to verify his guess about this Fudi.

He wanted to see these survivors in the cave.

Are they humans or malevolent entities! Wu Xian has never fully trusted the teammates who are struggling to survive in the cave together.

The object he suspected at first was Xiong Gang.

The degree says 'Strange words urge ghosts to rise', and if you want to light the palace lantern, you need to tell horror stories.

So Wu Xian's first guess was: 'Telling a horror story will summon or create a malevolent entity from the story.'

And Xiong Gang happened to appear after Xia Caoqing finished telling the story. The malevolent entity in the story happened to be a bear that could disguise itself as a human.

Xiong Gang's name, appearance, unreasonable strength, and vague suspicion of murder all deepened Wu Xian's suspicion of him.

Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences.

Therefore, during the first exploration, Wu Xian refused to explore with Xiong Gang. He didn't want to be backstabbed by a teammate in an unsafe place.

At this time.

Wu Xian felt that there was only one malevolent entity in the cave, Xiong Gang.

Because the native malevolent entities in the cave are all afraid of light, it is impossible for others to be the disguise of native malevolent entities.

After Wu Xian returned to the cave and killed that big spider, Wu Xian's attitude changed a bit. He felt that there was more than one malevolent entity hiding in the cave.

Because Xiong Gang's abnormality was too straightforward, he even dared to hug the big spider directly, not avoiding exposing his strength in front of people.

Then if he had the ability to kill the big spider in seconds, he wouldn't hide it.

And in that condition, the only people who had close contact with the big spider were Wu Xian, Xiong Gang, and Xia Caoqing! So Wu Xian suspected Xia Caoqing.

The spider legs of the big spider are very sharp and can even be used to make weapons, and Xia Caoqing was pressed under the big spider for so long, only scared to the point of mental withering, but there wasn't even a big scratch on her body.

Is this normal?

Not normal! Plus, in Huang Debiao's story, after he met Xia Caoqing, the ghost who wanted to buy the Yin house stopped looking for him...

Therefore, Wu Xian guessed.

The one who killed the big spider was actually Xia Caoqing, who was closest to the spider and whose movements were least likely to be seen!

Therefore.

Wu Xian had a second guess.

'The person who tells a story to the palace lantern will become the malevolent entity in the story!'

Looking at the backs of the two, Wu Xian took a deep breath.

"Then, which one is it?"
