Chapter 397

"Ah... ah..."

Huang Debiao sat on the ground, unable to speak clearly.

He had clearly gathered his courage to do it, but now he was so scared that he couldn't move.

Wu Xian's palms were sweating, one hand holding the spider foot sting, the Iron Tree Silver Flower Curse ready to be released at any time, the fat tiger changed from its silly appearance and started to bristle at Xiong Gang.

Xiong Gang's appearance at this time was very scary.

Black and thick fur grew on his body, there were terrifying fangs in his mouth, his figure expanded a bit more, and he looked very oppressive standing in the narrow tunnel.

This narrow environment is very favorable for bear fighting.

The blood on Xiong Gang's chest had stopped. With Huang Debiao's small strength, the wound stabbed was just some minor skin injuries to Xiong Gang.

He looked very angry, as if he wanted to tear Wu Xian and the two alive.

But perhaps because of the fat tiger's deterrence, Xiong Gang hesitated for a moment, turned back into a human appearance, looked at the two deeply, said nothing, turned and entered the tunnel, and disappeared into the darkness.

Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't pursue.

Before facing Xiong Gang, he thought he was sure to kill this guy alone, but when he really faced Xiong Gang, he was still a bit timid.

Now he doesn't have many means, and it's not time to fight hard with a powerful malevolent entity.

Wu Xian sat next to Huang Debiao and asked curiously: "Tell me, how did you know Xiong Gang was a monster?"

Huang Debiao smiled bitterly.

"Of course it was inferred. His appearance, name, and timing of appearance were all too coincidental. How could I not suspect it?"

Wu Xian stared at his eyes: "You are lying."

Huang Debiao smiled bitterly: "Well, someone told me that Xiong Gang is a hidden monster, but I can't say who told me."

Someone?

After lighting the lamp, the six people have been together. Wu Xian didn't hear anyone say this to Huang Debiao.

Then the answer is obvious.

Huang Debiao was looking at the statue last night, so the news was revealed by the statue! That statue told Huang Debiao that Xiong Gang was a malevolent entity through some way, so Huang Debiao launched a sudden attack on Xiong Gang. Maybe the statue also said that Xiong Gang's goal was Xia Caoqing.

Wu Xian touched his chin.

Now Xiong Gang is confirmed to be a malevolent entity, and Huang Debiao's shameful appearance shouldn't be a disguise either.

That proves that Wu Xian's first guess is correct.

Telling a ghost story in front of the statue will summon or create a malevolent entity in the cave, and this malevolent entity is different from the native malevolent entities in the cave and is not afraid of light.

But while confirming this guess, Wu Xian also felt that Xiong Gang's performance was very strange.

Although he is a malevolent entity, Wu Xian didn't feel hostility from him, which is one of the reasons why Wu Xian didn't draw a conclusion for the first time and had a second guess.

And after Xiong Gang left, Wu Xian had new doubts in his heart again.

Why did the statue in the cave temple help Huang Debiao see through the conspiracy of the malevolent entity? Clearly, Xiong Gang was summoned by the statue. Why did the statue help humans expose Xiong Gang's disguise? The statue's behavioral logic is contradictory!

Could it be a fun-loving type?

Wu Xian couldn't get an answer to this point for the time being, but he had already kept the doubt in his heart.

Thinking.

The fire was gradually weakening.

Wu Xian picked up a burning residue on the ground, squeezed it gently with his hand, and felt a completely different feeling from charcoal...

"Not wood, more like a mushroom."

He walked to the position of the bearded uncle again, and saw a particularly obvious trace on the ground. He pressed down with his finger and found that the ground here was soft. About the thickness of a person's waist, it was soft underneath, and there was a hard object touch. Wu Xian cut it open with a spider foot sting and pulled out a Suixiang from inside.

"Heh, I understand."

No wonder this small house was so uncoordinated, burned so fast, and the bearded uncle's expression was so dull.

This whole small house.

Actually, it's all mushrooms!

Dead man's finger mushrooms also exist in reality.

It just looks a bit like fingers, but maybe the variety in Fudi will go a step further than reality and grow directly into a human appearance.

That bearded man had a dull expression because he wasn't a human, but just a mimic mushroom.

And that seemingly perfect small house was also part of the mimicry, attracting humans into its interior by mimicking humans and small houses, thereby digesting humans or other creatures.

Because it's a mushroom, it burns faster than wood.

Just after reaching this conclusion.

Wu Xian shook his head again.

Besides the traces of mushroom burning, there were other traces in the house, such as the clothes and blankets on the bearded man were not mimicry, the pot for boiling mushrooms was not mimicry, and that saw was not mimicry.

A single mushroom mimicry cannot grow these things.

So this trap was not arranged by mushrooms, but by other things, using these mushrooms to improve the trap.

So you can't relax your vigilance yet.

Wu Xian raked the ground with a spider foot sting and dug out a saw.

This saw was still in a scorching state and a bit deformed, but the short-term burning didn't make it completely melt, but became a bit ferocious. It seems the melting point is much higher than the previous oil lamp.

Wu Xian is ready to take this thing back, grind it, and wrap some cloth strips on the handle, and it can be used as a weapon.

That pot of mushroom soup was left, but the pot had been burned to deformation and leakage, leaving only a little soup base.

Wu Xian felt a bit sorry.

After all, that taste was really good, almost catching up with the soup products carefully cooked by He Mama.

Although the Juanren degree has an appraisal function, it can only appraise high-grade things. Only things with effects comparable to worship props are worth describing by the degree in a few words.

So Wu Xian couldn't use the degree to appraise whether the mushrooms were poisonous.

Found a new weapon.

The remaining embers were all burned out.

Wu Xian saw what he wanted to see most in the innermost layer of the room.

Tianguan - Southern Three Qi Fire Virtue Star Lord statue!

Because Huang Debiao was still there, Wu Xian's worship action was very hidden. He just lit the Suixiang and inserted it. The incense burner suddenly spewed out a burst of scorching flames. This burst of flames scared Wu Xian, but Huang Debiao didn't notice it at all.

As Wu Xian guessed before.

It was still three talismans.

They were Stone Fire Curse, Melting Character Talisman, and Fire Chestnut Technique.

This Stone Fire Curse should be an ordinary fire-type attack spell, and its nature is similar to the True Fire Curse. Wu Xian had seen Sun Qian use the Air Fire Curse on Luo Wang Island, which should be a system, and the number of uses is three.

As for the Melting Character Talisman, it is a talisman used to add effects to weapons. Weapons with the Melting Character Talisman added will become scorching hot during battle, like a red-hot branding iron.

Fire Chestnut Technique can allow Wu Xian to ignore flames for a period of time and take things out of the flames at will. It can be used twice.

Wu Xian didn't look for too long and made a choice.

He didn't hesitate to take the middle talisman, because this is the talisman that can most directly improve his strength for now! (End of chapter)
