Chapter 450

After cleaning up the battlefield.

Wu Xian rode Fatty Pei Dasen and set off on the road back to the Great Cavern.

The return journey was quiet; he did not encounter a single malevolent entity, and not even small creatures like insects or bats appeared.

Instead, every so often, several eyes would grow on the rock walls. These eyes stared straight at Wu Xian, their pupils turning as Wu Xian moved, and their gazes exuded undisguised anger and malice.

The familiar feeling of being watched made Wu Xian feel as if he had returned to the building the wicked people used to cultivate malevolent entities before he entered this Fudi.

These eyes did not come from some small malevolent entity with special abilities, but from the will of the labyrinth!

The appearance of the eyes.

Meant that the will of the labyrinth was no longer hiding; Wu Xian's act of burning the Inverted Corpse Forest had completely enraged it.

But Wu Xian did not care about this; he was even a little happy.

The conflict between him and the will of the labyrinth was irreconcilable; sooner or later, they would have to face each other with blades. Since the will of the labyrinth had already sent malevolent entities to surround and kill him, it showed that it could not let Wu Xian go, so what more could it do if it were even angrier on this basis?

Wu Xian even felt that the will of the labyrinth was not angry enough.

So he ignited a small wooden stake he encountered on the road, collected all the ash from the stake, and carried it with him. Every time he encountered the eyes of the will of the labyrinth, he would sprinkle some ash into its eyes.

Slowly, the eyes stopped appearing.

Wu Xian returned to the Great Cavern safely.

Wu Xian returned to the Great Cavern.

And found that everyone's expressions were not very good.

Everyone was full of vigilance, like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. Xu Meng was curled up on the ground, clutching his chest and panting heavily, while Fu Liang Liang Jian was hanging his head, cursing in a low voice.

Xiong Gang walked over; he looked even weaker than before.

Wu Xian asked, "What happened?"

Xiong Gang sighed.

"Just about twenty minutes ago, the Great Cavern suddenly shook violently, and a voice rang out in all of our minds at once."

"That voice came from the will of the labyrinth; it promised us that as long as we killed you, it would let us out immediately!"

"But the price of believing the will of the labyrinth, Huang Debiao has already paid for us..."

It wasn't just that no one believed the words of the will of the labyrinth.

Fu Liang Liang Jian even raised his weapon and shouted at the surroundings, "You liar, come out, I want to kill you, kill you!"

A moment later, the figure of the will of the labyrinth actually appeared.

At the entrance of a dark cave, a pitch-black figure emerged, and the figure asked Fu Liang Liang Jian in confusion.

"How did I lie to you? Haven't you already seen your daughter? She even talked to you!"

Hearing this, Fu Liang Liang Jian's eyes turned red instantly, and he was about to rush into the cave to avenge his daughter, but just as he took two steps, he remembered Wu Xian's instructions before he left, and he forcibly stopped his steps and did not chase after it.

"It seems the will of the labyrinth wanted to lure Fu Liang Liang Jian into the cave and then kill him like Xia Caoqing, but Fu Liang Liang Jian did not fall for the trick, which made the will of the labyrinth very annoyed."

"Next, chaotic sounds began to ring out in all of our minds. These sounds lasted for about ten minutes; although not fatal, they made us all dizzy and bloated, and Xu Meng was even made to vomit twice."

After hearing Xiong Gang's words, Wu Xian's eyes widened.

Twenty minutes ago, that was exactly when he was about to burn down the Inverted Corpse Forest. It seems the will of the labyrinth was truly pushed to the limit by him.

Fu Liang Liang Jian raised his head, his eyes red as he looked at Wu Xian.

"I listened to you and didn't act impulsively. Is what you promised me still valid?" Wu Xian nodded solemnly in response.

"It's valid, I will help you get revenge!"

Xiong Gang walked around Fatty Pei Dasen and asked Wu Xian in surprise.

"Did you not even bring back a single piece of firewood?"

Before leaving this time, Wu Xian had burned all the firewood in the Great Cavern. Not bringing back firewood this time meant that once the story was finished and the palace lantern went out, they would have absolutely no light source.

Hearing this, Wu Xian smiled proudly.

He searched the Great Cavern for a moment and finally found a basketball-sized pit near the middle, and filled it with water.

"Yin Fire Incantation!"

A beam of blue-white low-temperature flame shot out and landed in the water pit, instantly igniting the water. The magnificent flames floated on the water's surface; the bottom was transparent, and the top was a gorgeous sky blue.

The flames swayed with the water ripples, actually having a somewhat dreamy tone.

Wu Xian pointed at the water pit and said, "The fire in this pit is Yin Fire. As long as you remember to add water to this pit, the fire will not go out. This light source can be used until we leave!"

The blue firelight gave the Great Cavern a different style, and everyone's mood changed along with it.

Xiong Gang patted Wu Xian on the shoulder and said loudly, "Just now, the will of the labyrinth told us to kill you, which shows that your existence has already threatened it!"

"This is great news for us, because it means we finally see the hope of leaving here!"

"You don't have to worry that someone among us will believe the slander of the will of the labyrinth. I think after all this, there won't be anyone among us who is that stupid and heartless."

"If there really is such a person... then he will be the enemy of all of us!"

Xiong Gang's words seemed to be said to Wu Xian, but in fact, they were said to the others in the Great Cavern. He wanted to use this to make others put away any small thoughts they might have in their hearts.

Then he leaned into Wu Xian's ear and asked in a low voice, "Do we need to fight?"

"Yes!"

"Is your strength enough?"

Wu Xian hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this trace of hesitation, Xiong Gang made up his mind, walked to the side, and brought the "Pain Cube" to Wu Xian.

"Teach me the method to restore the cube. My brain is stupid, I have no way to restore this thing myself!"

Wu Xian looked at Xiong Gang in surprise.

"Are you crazy? You saw Zhao Zixuan's end. Using this cube, your will might be devoured by the malevolent nature!"

"But this can make me stronger, right?" Xiong Gang smiled honestly, "And I have also considered it carefully. I should be able to hold on. Believe me, I am not Zhao Zixuan; I am a malevolent entity myself!"

Wu Xian was silent for a long time.

He was indeed lacking confidence for tomorrow's battle.

In this Fudi, all of Wu Xian's abilities were focused on talismans, and the effect of the Yan Luo Tie was also similar to a talisman, so his attack ability was maxed out.

But in terms of melee ability, it could no longer be said to be insufficient; it could only be said to be better than nothing. Although he could rely on Fatty Pei Dasen and the Fire Department Heavenly Soldier Technique to act as a meat shield, these alone could not be considered completely safe.

If Xiong Gang's body could recover and become stronger, with him protecting him by his side, Wu Xian would have no worries about melee combat.

And Xiong Gang making such a decision must have been well-considered, and he would only do so if he had the determination in his heart.

Wu Xian did not want to let down such determination.

So he nodded.

Xiong Gang grinned! (End of chapter)
