Chapter 402

While the freak was shrieking.

Wu Xian rushed into the room, quickly plucked two candles from where the fire hadn't spread yet, and then retreated from the fire scene with some reluctance, standing to the side watching the big fire burn.

The freak's words just now were very likely true; completing the cube might really grant power.

But Wu Xian was also certain that the freak must have hidden important information.

He didn't need the monster's power; as long as he burned this place down, he could obtain power.

So rather than risking unknown consequences, it was better to seek the greatest immediate benefit; therefore, Wu Xian had planned to burn the altar from the beginning, and the conversation with the freak was just to extract as much information as possible.

The freak mentioned a god and said to offer pain to the darkness.

There was a statue on the cave side, and the cave was filled with the curse of dark fear.

The information provided by the travel permit said, 'The fierce god refuses to release light.'

Wu Xian scratched his hair in distress.

"A fierce god related to darkness should be the big boss of this Fudi... but is this really an opponent that a Lotus Juanren of my level should face?"

"Hmm... it should be some kind of derivative threat related to the fierce god, and the statue on the cave side is also playing tricks."

"Let's just take it one step at a time."

The flames soon burned out, and only three complete things remained in the cave: the charred corpse formed by the freak, the metal cube on the altar, and the statue that had just formed.

Wu Xian quickly inserted the malevolent incense, and three talismans appeared before him.

One of them was Wu Xian's old friend, the True Fire Incantation; although very simple, it could by no means be said to be useless, especially since Wu Xian's Iron Tree Silver Flower Incantation had just been used up.

The second was the Fire Character Talisman, a talisman that could make the enchanted item emit flames.

The third was the Explosive Burning Method, which could make the next released fire-type incantation possess explosive properties; if it originally had explosive properties, it would increase the power of the explosion.

Wu Xian struggled for two seconds.

The one with the greatest subsequent benefit was the Explosive Burning Method, which could stack up fire incantations with exaggerated power; the effect of the Fire Character Talisman could actually be replaced by the True Fire Incantation.

But what Wu Xian wanted most was a talisman he could use immediately.

Because once he used three talismans, he could activate the blessing of 'Three Giving Birth to One,' thereby obtaining another talisman out of thin air!

In this Fudi.

This was the only way Wu Xian could obtain other system talismans.

After getting the Fire Character Talisman, Wu Xian wanted to brand it onto his saw-blade knife, but just as he was about to act, his body stiffened, and then he turned his head to look at Fatty, who was licking its wounds; Fatty was startled by Wu Xian's gaze.

The last time it was looked at like this, it was used as an ox or horse to pull things.

"Can it be used on Fatty?"

"Although Fatty is a living creature, since it can be used on the Huang Quan Dragon Louse, it should also be able to be used on Fatty!"

Wu Xian's saw-blade knife already had the effect of the Melt Character Talisman, and stacking the Fire Character Talisman might increase its power, but Wu Xian's only comrade-in-arms in this Fudi was Fatty, so it was more cost-effective to let Fatty undergo an upgrade.

So Wu Xian imprinted the Fire Character Talisman on Fatty's head.

Whoosh! A burst of flames immediately erupted from Fatty's body.

The flames were fleeting, and after they extinguished, Wu Xian discovered that the yellow fur parts of Fatty's body had turned red, and some of the fur patterns on its body had also become somewhat like burning flames.

But Fatty didn't notice it itself, only feeling that its throat was a bit uncomfortable, so it burped.

A burst of flames sprayed out from the tiger's mouth.

Fatty was stunned immediately.

Wu Xian didn't pay attention to Fatty; the moment he used the Fire Character Talisman, a new talisman appeared before Wu Xian. This talisman was a technique talisman.

The moment he saw this technique talisman, Wu Xian's pupils dilated slightly.

The name of this technique talisman was.

Resurrection Technique! "Can even this kind of thing be done? It's simply too incredible!"

But after carefully studying the effects, Wu Xian was a bit disappointed.

This technique talisman itself was an Immortal Artifact-grade technique talisman, and under normal circumstances, it could resurrect the dead.

Moreover, this kind of resurrection would heal all injuries and replenish all strength, and it could be effective as long as the time of death did not exceed one hour.

But unfortunately, this technique talisman was obtained through the blessing of 'Three Giving Birth to One,' so it had dropped two grades, becoming only a Common Item, and had been weakened twice.

After dropping to Treasure grade, it could resurrect people who had died within one stick of incense time and simply repair their injuries, but there was a probability of losing a part of their three souls and seven spirits.

After dropping to Common Item grade, it only remained to resurrect people who had died within one cup of tea time, with injuries only repaired to the point of survival, and the three souls and seven spirits would definitely be lost.

But even so.

This was a very powerful technique talisman.

If an important teammate was killed by the Fudi, one could use the Resurrection Technique to save their life, and after that, whether using soul-summoning abilities or throwing the person to Li Hen Tian for repairs, one could save a life.

Wu Xian put away the technique talisman.

This technique talisman could only be saved for later use; for now, except for Shi Ji and Du E, no one else was worth Wu Xian using it on.

After taking the technique talisman.

Wu Xian looked at the other two remaining things.

First was this freak; he first rummaged through the freak, only to find that the freak had already been burned to charcoal but was still alive; the moment Wu Xian touched him, he emitted a moan that was unclear whether it was pain or pleasure.

Additionally, Wu Xian also noticed that this freak's body structure was even more human-like than he had thought; although he was still alive even after being injured like this, nothing non-human could be seen from the outside.

Then Wu Xian looked at the tetrahedral Rubik's cube.

He first poked it twice with a mushroom arm, discovering that once the cube started to rotate, sharp spikes would emerge from the small holes; these spikes had barbs, and once they pierced into a human body, it was very difficult to pull them out.

Then he used his fingers to press against two corners of the tetrahedron, picking up the cube in a position where he wouldn't be poked by the spikes.

"Like this, it should count as being held."

Putting down the tetrahedron, he opened the travel permit, and sure enough, the description of this tetrahedron appeared on the travel permit.

'Evil Sacrificial Vessel - Pain Cube'

'Evil Sacrificial Vessel: A special prop for offering sacrifices to evil existences.'

'Pain Cube: After enduring pain and restoring the cube, you will obtain the full ability of one malevolent entity within the cube's range of influence.'

'After obtaining the ability, you will be influenced by the nature of the malevolent entity, and if you cannot leave the range of the power's influence within seven days after obtaining the power, you will become a slave to the cube.'

'Cube Slave: The cube can only have one slave; upon obtaining the next slave, the previous slave will die, and the slave is responsible for introducing the cube, letting others try to restore the cube, and offering sacrifices to the evil existence.'

After reading the introduction, the corner of Wu Xian's mouth twitched.

This thing really had a catch.

In this way, the charred freak should be the slave of the Pain Cube; he exchanged with the cube for the ability not to die, but because he didn't escape the cube, he became the cube's slave, constantly offering pain to the cube.

"But... this thing seems useful."
