Chapter 405

In Xia Caoqing's story.

The monster bear attacked the campers less than a month ago!

Xiong Gang had already admitted to the attack, so there was no need to lie about the time, so the problem was with Xia Caoqing!

Wu Xian immediately asked Xiong Gang.

"That human-headed spider, did you kill it?"

Xiong Gang scratched his head: "Didn't you kill it? I was really grateful to you at the time; if you hadn't appeared, I would have only been able to reveal my true form!"

Wu Xian had already been puzzled as to why Xia Caoqing could be unscathed under the spider; now it seemed this woman was the one hiding her true strength, and that big spider was killed by her! Speaking of which.

In Huang Debiao's story, it was only after he met Xia Caoqing that he got rid of the entanglement of the old lady in the Yin house.

Then it was very likely that the old lady in the Yin house didn't let Huang Debiao go, but was scared away by Xia Caoqing, so Huang Debiao could get peace.

Wu Xian scratched his hair.

Looking at it this way, the forces in the cave were very complex.

First was the statue faction: the large-eared statue listening to stories, the Pain Cube, and the broken statue in the small cave, etc.

Second was the monster in the darkness.

Third was the malevolent entity summoned.

Finally was the ordinary person summoned.

These four forces might only be two, or there might be five or six; Wu Xian didn't have enough information yet, so it was difficult to make a definitive judgment.

Wu Xian stood up: "I was busy fleeing for my life just now and forgot the way back to the cave; let's find the way together next."

Xiong Gang pointed in a direction: "The way back to the cave is this way; take a left at the first fork you encounter, and after walking for a while, you should be able to see the light."

"How do you know the way?"

Xiong Gang looked at the boy behind him.

"This child is named Zhao Zixuan; he hasn't been in the cave for long, and I discovered that once there is no light, his spirit will collapse rapidly; I can protect him from the threat of malevolent entities, but I have no way to keep him away from the darkness; he will die if he stays by my side for too long!"

"So please take him back; people you take back are more easily accepted by them."

Wu Xian immediately understood: "You tried to return to the cave for this child before?"

Xiong Gang sighed helplessly: "Yes, but it was a bit fierce over there; if I took him over, he would be killed by the people over there, so I brought him back again."

It was a bit fierce over there? Wu Xian couldn't sit still; that cave was his base camp, and it would be troublesome if everyone died; besides, it had indeed been a long time since he left this time.

He wanted to take Xiong Gang back together, but was refused by Xiong Gang; the only person Xiong Gang could trust was Wu Xian, and if he returned there, he might be sneak-attacked again.

Staying in this small cave by himself was safer than the big cave.

Additionally, Wu Xian also learned that the cave paths would change every once in a while, but the big cave and small cave would not change, so as long as he knew the direction, Xiong Gang could find the location of the big cave at any time.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xiong Gang.

Wu Xian didn't persuade him anymore; he checked the malevolent entity killed by Xiong Gang, but unfortunately, there was no malevolent incense in that malevolent entity's body; perhaps only malevolent entities whose moment of death was witnessed by Wu Xian would produce malevolent incense.

Then he left a candle, lit the torch, and hurried into the cave with the boy and Fatty; before leaving, he warned Xiong Gang.

"There is a kind of monster lurking in the shadow; that monster can control people's actions through the shadow and is very dangerous; you must be careful if you encounter it."

After saying this, Wu Xian walked into the cave.

Xiong Gang scratched his head.

A malevolent entity that can control people in the shadow? He had encountered it before; it wasn't hard to deal with at all! Xiong Gang wasn't a human.

He wasn't affected by the curse of dark fear and could see in the darkness, so using a candle was a bit of a waste; he extinguished the candle, preparing to use it when he encountered others.

The moment the candle was extinguished. Two shadows flashed by quickly and drilled into the cave where Wu Xian and the others were advancing.

Not long after Wu Xian left.

It became noisy inside the cave.

The main arguments were between Gong Xiujuan and Huang Debiao; she was very dissatisfied with Huang Debiao's concealment, believing that important information should be shared by everyone, and he had no reason to swallow it alone.

But Huang Debiao refused to speak, and when asked urgently, he started scolding people.

Xia Caoqing was caught in the middle, so anxious that her eye sockets were moist.

The crazy woman turned her back early, not wanting to express any opinion on Huang Debiao's concealment of information.

Just like this, the two sides argued more and more fiercely, until Huang Debiao finally couldn't help but roar.

"Killing a monster that isn't afraid of light will let us go back; are you satisfied now!"

After Huang Debiao finished speaking, he was immediately covered in cold sweat; he looked around tremblingly, and only felt relieved after discovering that nothing had happened.

Gong Xiujuan was stunned: "If you put it that way, those rolling human heads just now meet the standard."

"Whether it's those human heads or the spider that appeared before, they are actually afraid of light; it's just that the firelight can't make them afraid enough not to launch an attack."

"The monster that isn't afraid of light that I'm talking about refers to... a guy like Xiong Gang!"

Anyway, he had already let it slip, so Huang Debiao didn't mind revealing some more information.

After he finished speaking, Xia Caoqing and Gong Xiujuan were all silent, and the crazy woman covered her head, looking very painful.

They realized that this so-called 'not afraid of light' was actually a monster disguised as a human staying with them, and this monster could be anyone present! No one asked how Huang Debiao got the news.

Just the possibility of leaving the dark cave was enough to make everyone's heart move.

At this time, Xiong Gang appeared with Zhao Zixuan, and just as he was about to open his mouth to entrust Zhao Zixuan to the four people in the cave, he discovered that Gong Xiujuan and Huang Debiao's eyes were full of murderous intent.

He keenly sensed that the Zhao Zixuan he brought might also be regarded by these two as a monster disguised as a human.

So Xiong Gang could only retreat with Zhao Zixuan.

Without a target, the three women and one man in the cave fell into a long silence again.

Huang Debiao sighed and groaned, his mind constantly fighting between heaven and man.

He remembered what Wu Xian had said.

'Why would the other party help you, what can you provide them?'

"It must be because there are some things that only I can do, only I can kill those monsters!"

Huang Debiao's eyes slowly became fierce.

His goal was very clear; after learning the conditions for leaving the cave, he had already set Wu Xian as his target.

Wu Xian was definitely not human; how could a normal human use that kind of strange move? Although Wu Xian had saved his life, in order to leave this terrifying cave, he could do anything.

He had already experimented with sneak attacks on Xiong Gang; next time he wouldn't aim for the chest, but would attack the neck and eyes.

But what made Huang Debiao a bit irritable was that Wu Xian hadn't appeared for a long time, and the burning time of the three torches was about to end; perhaps Wu Xian wouldn't come back, and he had already died in the process of cave exploration.

"What should I do!"

Huang Debiao's gaze fell on his wife beside him.

If Wu Xian couldn't come back, the only monster he could find would be...
