Chapter 410: Desperate Parasitism

When Huang Huang Debiao was unconscious just now, he still looked like a normal person.

But after Wu Xian had been busy for a few hours, when Huang Huang Debiao woke up, his body had undergone strange changes.

His eye sockets were sunken, his blood vessels were black, his hair had turned gray, his skin was covered in folds and wrinkles, and he had gone from slightly fat to a bamboo-pole figure, and he seemed to have aged dozens of years.

But even though his body was withered to this extent, there were several large lumps bulging on his body; the things inside these lumps were still wriggling, and it was clear that there were living things inside.

Huang Huang Debiao's mental state was also abnormal; he persistently called out to Wu Xian, praying for Wu Xian to send him into the temple; he felt that no matter what he had become, as long as he entered the temple, there was still hope.

"Sure enough, it's like this..."

Wu Xian pointed at Huang Huang Debiao and said to Gong Gong Xiujuan and the others.

"You can all see it now, Huang Huang Debiao killed his wife and obtained the qualification to leave the maze, but is this qualification really a good thing? Do you want to become like this?"

Gong Gong Xiujuan was horrified.

Huang Huang Debiao's fate was not much different from what Wu Xian had estimated.

When he saw Huang Huang Debiao, he had already vaguely guessed this possibility.

Huang Huang Debiao followed the instructions of the voice he heard and completed the task given by the other party, so he might have two endings.

One was being deceived by the other party and killed directly by the malevolent entity.

The other was the other party keeping their promise and letting Huang Huang Debiao leave this underground maze.

But what Wu Xian saw was Huang Huang Debiao unconscious on the ground, with footprints of malevolent entities around, and several puncture wounds deep into his skin...

Those malevolent entities didn't kill him, just left some wounds.

This was worth pondering.

Wu Xian thought for a moment and concluded that a malevolent entity had laid eggs in Huang Huang Debiao's body! The voice Huang Huang Debiao heard did intend to let him return to the ground, but it was using him as a breeding ground for malevolent entities, letting him carry the malevolent entities to wreak havoc on the world above.

Wu Xian could let Huang Huang Debiao leave, or he could kill Huang Huang Debiao on the spot.

But he still chose to detain Huang Huang Debiao and delay until the malevolent entities in Huang Huang Debiao's body were about to hatch.

Because only by letting everyone present see Huang Huang Debiao's miserable state and letting them face the bloody reality would they understand that the voice that suddenly appeared in their minds was a scam; killing a malevolent entity disguised as a human would not give them a chance to leave the underground maze, but only make them die more miserably! Wu Xian hoped that Huang Huang Debiao's death would unite the remaining people and not waste precious time and energy on meaningless infighting. Now it seemed the effect was good! Huang Huang Debiao's pleading voice became weaker and weaker, and his eyes became more and more desperate.

In the last moments of his life.

He somewhat regretted acting against Xia Xia Caoqing.

But this trace of regret soon turned into hatred for Xia Xia Caoqing; he hated this woman for deceiving him and letting him fall into such a miserable state.

Creak, squelch! In Gong Gong Xiujuan's horrified eyes.

A beige worm bit through Huang Huang Debiao's skin and drilled out amidst a large amount of pus; this thing was as large as a small arm and had dozens of small claws, each of which was a chubby little human hand, while the head was...

She didn't see the head clearly.

Because Wu Xian chopped off the head of the small malevolent entity directly.

Confirming that Huang Huang Debiao was already dead, Wu Xian dragged him to the side, threw two fire oil balls on him, and lit them with a wooden stick.

Whoosh! Huang Huang Debiao burned all over, and the malevolent worm in his body twisted in the flames; occasionally, some that wanted to crawl out were chopped off by Wu Xian, who was guarding the side.

Don't look at these malevolent worms as small; if Huang Huang Debiao were allowed to "explode," all the small worms rushing out might cause even greater trouble; the form of these small worms looked like they were very suitable for drilling into human bodies...

Soon Huang Huang Debiao was burned dry, turning into a charred corpse without much moisture. Wu Xian left the charred corpse there to deter others who would appear next; with such a corpse there, those who came later should be much more obedient.

After going through this.

The remaining three people were much more honest, and Wu Xian established his leadership position.

Additionally, after confirming that Huang Huang Debiao was indeed parasitized.

Wu Xian also had a vague understanding of the mode of this Fudi.

This Fudi.

Was like a malevolent entity factory.

There were two kinds of malevolent entities in this world: one followed its nature to kill, and the other was converted by the Fire Huo De Xingjun.

The maze first pulled ordinary people who were scared by the converted malevolent entities into it, forcing ordinary people to tell stories, and through stories, pulled the disobedient malevolent entities into it.

Then it seduced ordinary people, letting them kill the converted malevolent entities, and then sent the ordinary people out, while the ordinary people sent out often carried other malevolent entities! The Fire Huo De Xingjun and this underground maze had been in a stalemate for who knows how long.

"Looking at it this way, the degree of interference of immortals and gods in the world is different in different worlds."

"Worlds that can be completely interfered with don't need Lotus Juanren; the immortals and gods themselves can solve all the malevolent entities and let the world develop prosperously; I shouldn't be able to encounter such a world..."

"Some worlds can only be intervened to a certain extent; in such worlds, the power of malevolent entities and immortals and gods is in a tug-of-war, and the purpose of sending Lotus Juanren over is to help the immortals and gods increase the chips on the balance of victory or defeat; for example, this world, and the world of Luo Wang Island; these two worlds have obvious interference from the power of immortals and gods."

"There are also some worlds where the hands of immortals and gods almost cannot reach in, and they can only send Lotus Juanren over, trying to save the world that is about to be destroyed through the activities of Lotus Juanren; for example, the world of the Son-Seeking Ghost Mother, the world of the Body-Snatching Malevolent Entity..."

Additionally.

Through the operation mode of the maze.

Wu Xian could conclude that this world was the home field of the Fire Huo De Xingjun, and the maze could not directly pull in the converted malevolent entities, nor could it directly send malevolent entities to the outside world, and could only use ordinary people as a transfer station.

"In this way, the result the Fire Huo De Xingjun wants most is for me to completely destroy the ritual, making this maze unable to serve as a transfer station."

"As long as there is no such transfer station, the Fire Huo De Xingjun can quickly eliminate the hidden dangers of this world by relying on the conversion of fire."

"It's just that facing the Black Heaven Lord head-on is too difficult, so he only wants me to survive for seven days to drag out some time for the Fire Huo De Xingjun."

Thinking of this.

Wu Xian suddenly looked at the mad woman.

"If I'm not mistaken, someone should have told Xia Xia Caoqing's story before!"

The mad woman was stunned.

She looked at Wu Xian in surprise, not knowing how Wu Xian knew.

"Indeed there was; that story was told by an old man."

"When he was young, he met a woman as fresh as summer grass; he fell in love with her at first sight, so he took ropes, chains, and drugs, sneaked into the woman's house, and prepared to take her away when she came home."

"But the woman brought a man home; the man and woman were passionately hugging in the living room, and the old man could only peek in the corner."

"Watching and watching, he discovered that roots were growing out of the woman..."
