Chapter 435

~7 min read 1,344 words

Ah~ ah~ twisted light shadows emerged from the tetrahedral cube.

These light shadows were all human-shaped, with countless scars on their bodies, twisting irregularly around Zhao Zixuan, all with very painful expressions, opening their mouths to let out painful cries like singing.

Just like the characters in the famous painting "The Scream".

Zhao Zixuan pulled his hand away from the cube and placed it on both sides of his cheeks, letting the blood and flesh residue stick to his face, his eyes turning into a vast whiteness, emitting a sound like murmuring.

This scene was very eerie.

But everyone had long known that the Pain Cube was not a good thing, so they didn't feel too surprised.

Zhao Zixuan said in a dream-like tone: "Someone asked me what ability I wanted."

"What are the options?"

"Xiong Guai, Shadow Dancer, Red Shoe Ghost, Li Po Po, and Shape-Shifting Worm."

The Xiong Guai was Xiong Gang, the Red Shoe Ghost was Gong Xiujuan, the Shadow Dancer and Li Po Po were also malevolent entities Zhao Zixuan had seen before, and the last one, the Shape-Shifting Worm, was a monster he had encountered before being saved by Xiong Gang.

"Choose the Xiong Guai!"

Zhao Zixuan's activity time was limited, so choosing a simple and brutal ability would better exert his role.

After making the choice.

A twisted light shadow, its face turned into the appearance of a black bear, shook a few times and then burrowed into his body; Zhao Zixuan let out a miserable howl and then knelt on the ground, head bowed, without a word.

Wu Xian asked curiously: "How does it feel?"

Zhao Zixuan did not respond, but stood up slowly, leaning on his knees, smiled obediently at Wu Xian, and opened his arms to approach Wu Xian, seemingly wanting to hug him.

Seeing this, the others also smiled.

But Wu Xian felt his scalp tingle and subconsciously took a step back.

"Roar!"

Sharp teeth grew out of Zhao Zixuan's mouth, and he lunged over the moment Wu Xian retreated.

Bang! Zhao Zixuan was knocked flying by Xiong Gang, and black hair began to grow on his body, but just as the hair stubble grew, Wu Xian released the talisman, and he fell straight down again.

Wu Xian's breathing was slightly rapid; in that instant just now, he felt like a rabbit being stared at by a giant bear.

"He's out of control!"

Xiong Gang limped to Zhao Zixuan's side and said: "You said it before, right? Bears like to pretend to be harmless before launching an attack; he just wanted to get close to you and then rip out your heart, liver, and lungs."

Wu Xian looked at the cube, his expression somewhat disappointed.

Among the abilities of the Pain Cube, there was another explanation: the nature of the person who gained the malevolent entity's ability would be influenced by the malevolent entity's nature; Wu Xian had thought that such influence would only be to the extent of being irritable, greedy, and bloodthirsty, but he hadn't expected that even the holder of the Yin House Talisman would be attacked.

"If that's the case, Zhao Zixuan is useless; waking him up again is just waking up an enemy."

"This cube... can't be used either!"

Xiong Gang lay on Zhao Zixuan, sniffed carefully, got up, and said to Wu Xian.

"He is currently in the irritable period of just being born; I understand this feeling. When I was just born as a malevolent entity, I also had such a stage. In this state, I wouldn't think about anything, only focusing on killing, attacking whatever was in front of me until I killed one or two things before stopping."

Wu Xian raised an eyebrow: "You mean..."

"Next time we encounter a strong enemy, just let him out; he will attack the thing that poses the greatest threat to him first. A crazy bear monster is enough to save our lives!"

"But his body will be ruined that way, right? Didn't you tell me you didn't want me to desecrate his corpse?"

Xiong Gang looked at Wu Xian in surprise: "How can this be called desecration? As a man, is there any way of dying more glorious than dying in battle?"

Wu Xian was speechless.

The Red-Lipped Female Malevolent interjected: "You're not even human."

Xiong Gang was also speechless.

Then he began to chat enthusiastically with the Red-Lipped Female Malevolent; the distance between the two grew closer, and they got along much more naturally than before. But during the chat.

Xiong Gang always looked at the Pain Cube thrown to the side intentionally or unintentionally, seemingly weighing the gains and losses in his heart.

While Xiong Gang and the Red-Lipped Female Malevolent, this pair of monster man and woman, were exchanging feelings.

Fu Liang Liang Jian had been watching the crazy woman; he tried to communicate with her, but the crazy woman couldn't say anything except "Save me".

"I'm sorry, but in order to see my daughter, I must do this."

Fu Liang Liang Jian apologized silently to the crazy woman.

Wu Xian watched the palace lantern above his head.

Just now, this palace lantern flickered; the time of the flickering was exactly eight hours since the last story was told.

This meant that the extinguishing just now did not affect the timing of the palace lantern itself.

Next time they could still light the palace lantern to exchange for safe time to rest, but this palace lantern was no longer trustworthy.

"No matter when, there must be a light source other than the palace lantern, and someone needs to keep watch while sleeping."

"What has been will be again; at the critical moment, the Labyrinth Will will definitely use the palace lantern to pit us again. We must find a light source that can be lit at any time..."

"That marble girl seems to possess the ability to emit light..."

Everyone rested for a while longer.

The four people and one tiger finally recovered to the point where they could move freely.

Everyone first began to clean up the battlefield.

Although the battle just now was thrilling and brought them huge losses, the harvest was also rich, and many malevolent entities had died in the large cavern.

Except for some human-shaped ones or those that were too disgusting, the remaining beasts and insects were all edible.

Organizing these meats and roasting them dry, they wouldn't lack food for the next few days.

In addition, the body parts of some malevolent entities were also useful.

The skulls of several parkour heads were removed, cleaned, and could be used as containers for water; although a bit ghostly, it was the only way.

The giant snail shell could be used as cookware to boil meat soup.

In addition, Wu Xian also found the remains of a giant mantis and removed an arm blade from it; although it wasn't very handy to hold, it at least counted as a usable weapon.

Corpses that couldn't be eaten or used were thrown onto the burning fire; the oil in these corpses could also provide some lighting time.

Of course.

For Wu Xian.

The most important thing was not these, but the malevolent incense produced after the death of wandering malevolent entities that had reached a certain level of strength.

Wu Xian actively processed the corpses also to find the malevolent incense.

Finally, after counting, Wu Xian got six sticks of malevolent incense; there might be more in the remaining corpses, but he didn't have the time to continue searching, and the amount of malevolent incense in this Fudi had already seriously overflowed.

In addition, the previously burned rotting corpses and wood piles also provided Wu Xian with a statue each.

Now Wu Xian had three statues and nine sticks of malevolent incense.

After the remaining corpses and fire piles were burned out, another statue should be able to be burned out, but now the situation no longer allowed Wu Xian to wait leisurely.

"Then, offer to the gods again!"
