Chapter 451

Gong Xiujuan heard this conversation and immediately walked toward Xiong Gang.

But Xiong Gang turned to her and shook his head.

She bit her lip, gave up on stopping Xiong Gang, and instead reached out toward the Pain Cube: "I have a malevolent entity in my body; I can also try!"

Xiong Gang pushed her hand away.

"Your situation is different from mine; you won't be able to hold on."

After some tugging.

Gong Xiujuan retreated to the side reluctantly.

She wanted to restore the cube, one-third for Xiong Gang, but more because she truly wanted to become stronger, so as to survive the dangers that were bound to come.

But she was separated from the Red-Lip Female Malevolent Entity after all, and whether she could withstand the erosion of the malevolent nature was still an unknown.

Xiong Gang sat on the ground, his pair of broad and powerful hands pressed onto the surface of the cube. Sharp metal thorns pierced into his palms, making his hands bloody, and the blood was absorbed into the Pain Cube.

Others started to feel phantom pain just by seeing this scene, but Xiong Gang's expression remained firm. He raised his head and looked at Wu Xian.

"Start!"

Gong Xiujuan's eyes flickered, moved once again by Xiong Gang's manly appearance.

"Don't rush to twist it yet, let me see what's on each side..."

Wu Xian had guided Zhao Zixuan before and was already familiar with this kind of thing. Under his guidance, the Pain Cube was restored layer by layer. The first layer was the simplest, and the closer to the top, the more complex the steps required, bringing Xiong Gang more and more pain. This pain made his body tremble constantly, beads of sweat the size of beans fell one by one, and his facial muscles twitched due to the pain...

Finally, the cube was restored! Xiong Gang's eyes turned deathly white, and strips of shouting figures appeared in Xiong Gang's mind, asking Xiong Gang which malevolent entity's ability he had seen that he wanted.

"Xiong Guai!"

"I want the Xiong Guai's ability!"

Xiong Gang gave the answer he had long thought of.

A twisted shadow burrowed into Xiong Gang's body, and the next second, Xiong Gang let out a painful cry.

Creak, pop...

His body began to swell irregularly, and the sound of bones and muscles colliding came from within his body. Countless black hairs drilled out from his body, his palms turned into thick bear paws, and the sharp claws just waved gently, cutting deep marks into the hard rock.

This long transformation lasted for about thirty seconds.

During this time, Xiong Gang changed from a human strongman into a black giant bear standing over four meters tall. The giant bear's eyes were red, and it let out a deafening roar at the crowd. The flesh on its mouth was blown around by the sound waves, and saliva sprayed out along with it.

The fierce aura emitted from Xiong Gang made Fatty Pei Dasen lower his body instantly, baring his teeth and making a deterrent gesture at him.

A playing card appeared at Wu Xian's fingertips; as long as Xiong Gang showed any sign of attacking, a fire dragon would fly toward him.

But Wu Xian felt that Xiong Gang could hold on, because according to the experience with Zhao Zixuan, if Xiong Gang really lost his mind completely, he would instead disguise himself as calm and try to launch a surprise attack.

"Roar... ah!"

The giant bear held its head, making a struggling gesture, roaring while retreating step by step, gradually recovering into a human form during the retreat, and sat down in the corner of the Great Cavern.

The clothes on Xiong Gang's body were all stretched out. His left face looked normal, but his right face was a terrifying bear face. He smiled at the crowd with his half-human face and said, "It seems it was a success. Don't come over yet, give me some time. This is a nature I have already overcome; I will not lose to a defeated opponent again."

Wu Xian put away the playing cards: "So that's what you planned. The malevolent nature in one's own body is indeed easier to overcome than that in others, but I didn't expect the Pain Cube to have such a big bug, that even oneself is among the options."

Xiong Gang shook his head: "The Pain Cube can only acquire the abilities of malevolent entities one has seen oneself, so the one I chose was not me, but Zhao Zixuan!" Wu Xian's eyes widened and he gave Xiong Gang a thumbs up.

Gong Xiujuan stood on the side, not knowing what to do.

Wu Xian pointed to the white cloth: "Go make a piece of clothing; you wouldn't want him to have no clothes to wear after he recovers!"

Gong Xiujuan realized and hurriedly began to make new clothes for Xiong Gang. In the process of sewing the clothes, she kept calling out in her mind.

"Are you there?"

"Come out and see me. We haven't had a formal exchange yet; I want to see you!"

"If you don't come out... we will become a burden!"

During the process of waiting for Xiong Gang to recover.

Wu Xian studied the things he brought back from the Inverted Corpse Forest.

First was the corpse of the Inverted Female Malevolent Entity. She only had a head and the spine connected to the head left. This spine had been burned by the fire and could no longer be bent, turning into a black stick with a strange shape.

After a period of research, Wu Xian finally completed the transformation of her corpse and finally obtained a torch with a strange shape!

When Wu Xian was exploring the cave.

He often encountered such a problem, that is, once he moved too fast or his movements were too large, the torch would have the risk of going out, so even if he was on Fatty Pei Dasen's head and his stomach was about to be shaken out, he had to focus on keeping the torch from going out.

But Wu Xian found that the head of the Inverted Female Malevolent Entity could remain stable no matter how it moved, and the effect was much better than a gyroscope.

This effect still remained on this spine.

So Wu Xian, after some transformation, turned this spine into a torch. After some testing, Wu Xian confirmed that no matter how this torch moved, it could maintain the stability of the flame, even if it was deliberately swung around, the firelight remained stable.

This is not physical, but it is mysterious.

This torch is called the "Spine Torch," referred to as...

Um, I won't abbreviate it here.

Then Wu Xian looked at the hammer left by the puppet. This hammer was forty centimeters long, the hammer head was a claw hammer shape, the surface was polished bright, but the gaps were full of dried blood.

This thing on the puppet was a giant long-handled war hammer, but in Wu Xian's hands, it was just an ordinary hammer. He swung it twice, felt the hand feel was quite good, so he threw away the mantis arm blade and used this hammer as his personal weapon.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the middle, everyone had another meal.

The crazy woman's stomach was obviously larger than in the morning; the thing inside had grown again.

Gong Xiujuan's clothes were also finished. Although a bit simple, wearing them could at least cover her shame.

The bear characteristics on Xiong Gang's body had basically disappeared, only on his chest and the upper ends of his ears, some black bear hair remained. All the injuries that remained before had disappeared, and he looked much more powerful than before.

His strength among the wandering malevolent entities was already top-notch, and this time he had obtained another portion of the Xiong Guai's power. I'm afraid he could already be considered a Great Malevolent Entity in terms of strength.

Xiong Gang's condition was good, but including Wu Xian, everyone's body and spirit were almost unable to hold on.

Wu Xian checked the time.

"Everyone, it's time to tell stories again."
