Chapter 443

Wu Xian heard this.

And wanted to stop Xu Meng from continuing.

If ghosts appeared in Xu Meng's story, then it could be used to light the palace lantern to exchange for safe time.

Although the 'Labyrinth Will' had already proven with actual performance that the safe time was not absolutely safe, having it was much better than not having it.

But Wu Xian hesitated for two seconds and let Xu Meng continue.

"That sound was very strange; it didn't sound like a person, nor an animal, and it couldn't be a strange sound produced by wind blowing through the cavern; if I had to say, it sounded like some kind of musical instrument that could make the sound of a living thing, with a chaotic and mixed rhythm, an eerie tone, as if cheering for us walking toward death."

"When we reached the end of the original cavern, we two discovered that there was an extra pitch-black crack there, and the sound came from the crack."

"I reported to the boss with a walkie-talkie."

"A hissing electric sound came from the walkie-talkie; after more than ten seconds, there was a call sound, and the boss told us to enter the crack to take a look, not to go too far, just to see the situation, and that he would give us a bonus when we came back."

Xu Meng shook his head regretfully.

Thinking back now, he discovered that the boss's voice was very cold at the time, and no emotion could be heard at all.

"Chen San-Baldy didn't want to go, but I was in a hurry for money, so I forced him to enter the crack with me."

"This crack was wide and deep, and the light could shine in very far, so we weren't too nervous; although there was only the headlamp providing lighting, how could people who often work in the mine be scared by this little thing."

"The crack became narrower and narrower, and soon it reached the point where it couldn't be passed, so Chen San-Baldy and I wanted to go back."

"But just as we two turned around, the rhythm of the sound suddenly accelerated, the earth began to shake, and the crack began to expand; we two were caught off guard and fell from the crack."

"The good news is that we didn't fall very deep, so we weren't injured."

"The bad news is that we two fell head-first into a sloping tunnel..."

"That tunnel was very dark and narrow, and we couldn't even turn around; we couldn't retreat and leave, and even if we used the walkie-talkie to call for help, there was only a hissing electric sound inside!"

"All we could do was keep climbing down, wanting to find a space where we could turn around and let us climb back!"

"The eerie sound had been accompanying us; we kept climbing and climbing, not knowing how deep we climbed..."

"And then at one moment, we two suddenly fell, and when we opened our eyes, we were in this underground labyrinth."

Xu Meng's story was finished.

When he said it, his expression looked very relaxed.

But Xiong Gang and Gong Xiujuan listened very uncomfortably.

This story wasn't terrifying.

It was just hearing strange sounds, not seeing ghosts, and no sudden danger.

But if you substitute yourself into Xu Meng's situation a little bit, you would feel a terrible sense of oppression and despair.

Two men climbing down endlessly in a dark and narrow cavern, with no food, no water, no rescue; stopping would mean death, but every move would push themselves into the abyss of death.

And they didn't know at which moment they would realize.

"It's too deep; even if we two turn around, we can't climb up!"

Xiong Gang patted Xu Meng on the shoulder.

"Your coworker died; you must be very sad, right? Even if you were deceived by a malevolent entity, you were so determined to save him; you must not have wanted him to die in your heart."

Xu Meng was silent for a moment, and then smiled slightly.

"Actually, thinking back now, his death even makes me feel happy. Chen San-Baldy owed me a large sum of money, but when the time came to pay it back, he didn't have a penny in his hand."

"If it weren't for him not paying back the money, I wouldn't have taken the risk for some bonus, and he wouldn't have listened to me and entered the crack with me."

"I wanted to save him at the time mainly because I was afraid he would die and the debt would go bad, but now that I'm sober and think about it, since we've already fallen into the underground labyrinth, if we can't get out, then the money has no meaning, and I only have complaints about him not paying back the money."

Just complaints...

Wu Xian shook his head.

He had been very expectant when he first heard Xu Meng's story, thinking that the two of them had climbed all the way to the underground labyrinth, so he had found the way out of the underground labyrinth.

But the final fall of Xu and Chen showed that this underground labyrinth was not really underground in the real world, but an independent space.

That's right.

If there really was a road that could be climbed out directly, the Labyrinth Will wouldn't need to spend effort to bring malevolent entities out through people.

In addition, there were some contradictions in Xu Meng's words; since he claimed to be a miner, why was there only mud and no coal dust on him?

The boldness he claimed also seemed to be just a pretense.

However, Wu Xian didn't expose him.

For someone meeting for the first time, having some concealment was not a big mistake.

After listening to the story, Wu Xian stood up and walked to the front of the shrine.

The crazy woman still maintained her previous posture, casting a pleading look at Wu Xian.

Wu Xian looked at her stomach and his heart sank.

"It's bigger!"

"Although the change is subtle, her stomach has indeed grown a bit!"

The growth speed of this 'Magic Infant' far exceeded Wu Xian's expectations; according to this development method, this guy should be born before the end of the seventh day.

"Looking at it this way, many things that happened in this cavern before were to accumulate 'nutrition' for this thing's growth; this Magic Infant is the big boss I need to face in this Fudi."

"The Black Heaven Lord leaving offspring in the crazy woman's womb is to raise the upper limit of this 'Magic Infant'."

"The cavern closing and squeezing countless malevolent entities is to provide 'body nutrition' for this Magic Infant."

"Letting us tell ghost stories is to provide it with 'experience' and 'spiritual nutrition'."

There should be many things similar to the Pain Cube in this cavern; these things provide perhaps the 'ability nutrition' for the 'Magic Infant'."

The more Wu Xian thought, the more frightened he became.

If it continues to develop like this, the Magic Infant's strength will become stronger and stronger; after the Magic Infant is born, there will only be two possibilities.

One, the Magic Infant, like the 'Evil Dragon' transformed by Liu Baoyu, will go to harm this world as soon as it is born, without caring about the lives of these small fry, and then Wu Xian can easily clear the level.

One, the Magic Infant launches a hunt for them, and they need to defeat the Magic Infant or persist until the seven-day time limit to escape.

But Wu Xian didn't like either of these endings.

He stared at the crazy woman's stomach and licked his lips.

Is there a possibility to find a way to turn the Magic Infant into a premature baby and then use the premature baby's umbilical cord to strangle him? (End of chapter)
