Chapter 403

The biggest negative effect of the Pain Cube.

Is that the person who obtains the power might become a slave to the cube after seven days.

But if Wu Xian couldn't leave this Fudi after five days, his fate might be even more miserable than a slave's, so for Wu Xian, the effect of the Pain Cube could be utilized.

But if he wanted to take the cube away, he had to solve one problem first.

Wu Xian pinched his chin and looked at the freak writhing on the ground.

This guy was a slave to the cube and suspected of possessing the ability not to die; once he regained his ability to move, he might stick to him like a dog-skin plaster.

"How should I deal with him?"

Wu Xian had a flash of inspiration.

Before finding the Pain Altar, he seemed to have encountered a deep water pit.

In the dark cave.

An arm-long centipede caught a plump worm.

The centipede coiled around the worm, wanting to enjoy a rare and delicious big meal.

Pfft! Both the centipede and the worm were crushed into a pulp by a big foot.

In the pitch-black tunnel, fast and chaotic footsteps echoed, along with rapid panting, sounding like someone was fleeing in a sorry state.

Bang! The fleeing person bumped into something, and then a man's anxious shout came from the darkness.

"Spray fire quickly!"

Hiccup~ The large beast choked, choking out a small burst of flames, illuminating the tunnel for an instant.

Two figures appeared in the darkness: one was a curly-haired man with a nosebleed and a bruised forehead, and the other was a panicked, fat tiger with fur missing from one hind leg and blood dripping from one front leg.

It was Wu Xian and Fatty.

At this moment, the two of them were fleeing for their lives.

After dealing with the cube slave, Wu Xian saw that he still had torches left, so he went to explore another fork in the road, and after walking a few steps, he saw a pile of rotten wood.

That rotten wood pile was very large, enough to create two statues.

But Wu Xian only had one stick of malevolent incense, so he worshipped one statue first, and put the other one on Fatty.

From the three fire talismans given by that statue, he chose the 'Oil on Fire Technique'; although this technique also belonged to the fire system, what it released wasn't flames, but black grease; this black grease was very flammable and durable, and could be sprayed on enemies to burn them to death, or collected and used as a resource.

After getting these two statues.

Wu Xian was in a great mood and wanted to take Fatty back.

He didn't know what kind of trouble Huang Debiao was going to cause on the cave side, and now that he had completed his goal, it was better to go back early to deal with Huang Debiao's matter.

But just as this thought arose.

He started dancing involuntarily.

Wu Xian had never been able to dance, but this time, his dance moves were very aesthetic.

But as he danced and danced, Wu Xian's dance moves became distorted, even attempting to break his own arms, and he also slashed Fatty with his knife, leaving Fatty's leg skin torn and flesh gaping.

Fatty wasn't doing any better; it jumped around like it had epilepsy, using its mouth to pull out a lot of its own tiger fur.

This scene was too bizarre.

While dancing just now, Wu Xian discovered that he had been hit, and confirmed that the reason he was hit was his shadow.

The image in his shadow was completely different from his real image; he was a man, but the shadow was a dancing girl in a dress, and Fatty was about the same, not a tiger's shadow, but a dancing girl's shadow on all fours.

The one targeting them was some kind of malevolent entity lurking in the shadow!

But even after discovering the malevolent entity in the shadow, Wu Xian couldn't find a way to break the dancing girl shadow malevolent entity; the only thing he could do was resist with all his might and extinguish the torch.

Without the torch, there was no light.

Without light, there was naturally no shadow.

After breaking free from control, Wu Xian and Fatty fled in a panic. They couldn't light the torch because they would be targeted by the dancing girl shadow.

They couldn't flee along the original path because there were water pits and falling rocks on the original path; returning along the original path without lighting was looking for death.

Fatty occasionally sprayed a small burst of flames, allowing them to have an instant to remember the road conditions; after running for a while like this, Wu Xian no longer knew how far he was from the cave.

During the fleeing process, the curse of dark fear eroded Wu Xian's heart, and he even forgot to note the road he had run.

The flames sprayed by Fatty also became weaker and weaker.

At first, Fatty needed to wait for Wu Xian for a while from time to time, but later it couldn't even outrun Wu Xian.

For one thing, Fatty was injured, and for another, Fatty and the flames on Fatty were products of the god-worship ability, and in complete darkness, the god-worship ability would be suppressed.

Suddenly.

Wu Xian and Fatty stopped.

Not because they knew they had escaped the pursuit of the shadow monster, but because other dangerous things appeared in front of them.

Those were a pair of brown eyes glowing in the darkness!

In a completely dark environment, these eyes were very eye-catching; Fatty crouched down, emitting a threatening sound from its throat; it had already felt the threat.

Wu Xian didn't have the beast's sensory ability.

But he sensed Fatty's tension, so he drew his saw-blade knife, also preparing to fight for his life.

From the direction of the eyes, a puzzled voice came: "You two, what are you hiding from?"

After hearing the voice, Wu Xian relaxed for a moment, and then became tense again.

The good news was that this voice was an acquaintance.

The bad news was that this acquaintance was a malevolent entity.

The owner of the voice was Xiong Gang! Facing Xiong Gang, staying in the darkness was not a good choice, so Wu Xian drew the last mushroom-arm torch.

"Spray fire!"

Whoosh! Fatty sprayed a small burst of flames.

Borrowing the light of the flames, Wu Xian placed the torch by Fatty's mouth, and then Fatty sprayed another small burst of flames, which finally lit the torch.

After the torch was lit, it illuminated the surrounding environment.

The place where Wu Xian was now was a small cave; although it wasn't as large as the big cave, it was more spacious than an ordinary cave.

In the middle of the small cave was a crushed palace lantern, as well as a broken stone statue; the clothes on the stone statue were exactly the same as those on the large-eared stone statue in the big cave.

Xiong Gang was sitting on the broken stone statue in the center of the small cave.

His appearance wasn't much different from before, except that there were many more bloodstains and wounds on his body, and there was a conspicuous blood hole in his chest; this wound was left by Huang Debiao.

Around Xiong Gang were some corpses of malevolent entities, as well as traces of battle; looking at it this way, he wasn't in the same group as the malevolent entities in the cave...

After confirming that Xiong Gang had no intention of attacking.

Wu Xian looked at his own shadow.

"Very good, the shadow has no abnormalities."

Wu Xian let out a long sigh of relief; it seemed that the shadow's speed was limited, and after fleeing for a period of time, they had already escaped the shadow's attack range.

But even if they could escape this time.

It might not be the case when they encountered it next time.

Wu Xian hated leaving things to luck, so he decided to find time to think of a way, at least to be able to escape steadily.

While thinking.

Xiong Gang had already stood up vigilantly, and behind him, a smaller figure was hidden.
