Chapter 454

The next day.

The village became quite lively.

Wiping out a wolf pack was a great thing for such a poor mountain village; it not only solved a hidden danger but also obtained a large amount of meat and fur.

The villagers held the wolf corpses, their faces stained with wolf blood, wolf meat was boiling in the pot, and everywhere there were wolf corpse pieces and hot air with a wolf smell...

At this time, a leatherworker passed by and found that these black wolf skins had a soft texture, very suitable for making clothes, so the leatherworker lived in the village for half a month and made a black wolf skin garment for every household that participated in the wolf hunt.

Some families had hats, some had vests, and the largest wolf skin from the old wolf was made into a coat and sent to Uncle Wang's home.

Uncle Wang decided to stay in the village and gradually got together with Auntie Wang who saved him.

Auntie Wang wiped her tears, thinking she must have missed her old man.

"Thus, decades passed."

"This black wolf skin coat is a token of love between him and me. I have always wanted him to wear it and see."

"But this stubborn old man was scared by what happened back then. Not only did he not dare to treat dogs, but he would also bristle with fear when he saw this coat..."

A strange smile appeared on Auntie Wang's face.

"Fortunately, he died. I finally found an opportunity to dig this coat out of the cabinet to be his burial shroud and saw what he looked like when he wore this coat."

"He can also walk on the Yellow Springs Road in style like a wolf."

Outside the window.

The villagers were holding flashlights, searching for Xiong Gang's figure throughout the village.

Xiong Gang sat on the ground, listening to this story.

He listened very carefully at first, but gradually felt something was wrong.

When Auntie Wang told this story, she seemed to often inexplicably lean toward the wolf's perspective, and knowing that the old wolf had said it would turn Uncle Wang into a wolf using wolf skin, she still insisted on letting him wear a wolf skin coat, which seemed even stranger.

Suspicion arose in his heart, and Auntie Wang's loopholes became more numerous.

Since Xiong Gang entered the room, she had been wrapped in a quilt, but it was not cold in the room, and her quilt was not wrapped tightly, and a piece of black thing seemed to be exposed at the lower left side...

Xiong Gang's tone trembled: "Auntie Wang, are you... very cold?"

Auntie Wang was stunned for a moment, and following Xiong Gang's line of sight, she saw the black corner of the clothes exposed at the lower left of the quilt.

"No, I'm very hot."

On the familiar face of Auntie Wang, whose hair was gray, a look that made Xiong Gang feel terrified appeared. She slowly lifted the quilt, and what she was wearing was exactly that strange black wolf skin burial shroud!

Auntie Wang gradually twisted into a half-human, half-black wolf appearance, jumped up and hung upside down on the ceiling, drooling, and yellowed fangs grew in her mouth.

"Ha, haha..."

Xiong Gang trembled all over, unable to help but retreat.

He could easily tear the monster in front of him to pieces, but he really didn't have such courage.

Just shivering, retreating step by step.

Exiting Auntie Wang's house, he saw the villagers shouting and rushing toward him, holding various farm tools or weapons, their expressions fierce. Although they didn't have guns, they were even more fierce toward Xiong Gang than they were toward the wolf pack back then.

Xiong Gang was scared out of his wits and fled in a panic in the night.

Occasionally looking back.

He found that many of the villagers chasing him had protruding upper and lower jaws, fangs growing, and drooling, just like mad dogs with a disease!

And those villagers who looked like mad dogs were all wearing a piece of black clothing.

Some were vests.

Some were hats...

Xiong Gang ran further and further, and vaguely could hear the sound of wolf howls coming from the direction of the village.

Xiong Gang let out a long sigh.

"Later, I appeared in this underground labyrinth."

"If you ask me, since I developed consciousness, which day I felt fear deep into my bones, it was only this incident."

Xiong Gang finished his story. A moment later, the palace lantern lit up, which proved that his story had been accepted by the Big Ear Statue. Wu Xian asked Xiong Gang: "You said you had selfish motives in telling this story, wanting to pull that malevolent entity into the underground labyrinth so that it would no longer harm the villagers, right."

Xiong Gang nodded.

"That wild dog can possess humans through its own skin. I think only by using this method can the villagers be freed from its control."

"And..." Xiong Gang's eyes turned red instantly, "I really want to tear it to pieces with my own hands!"

This was the selfish motive Xiong Gang spoke of. Wu Xian understood his mood, but if this was the case, there was one more thing they needed to be vigilant about.

Xiong Gang stood up from the divine statue and sat cross-legged beside the Yin Fire pool.

"Since the palace lantern is already lit, everyone should rest as early as possible. Tonight is very important, so I will keep watch."

Wu Xian raised an eyebrow: "Is there no problem?"

Xiong Gang grinned: "It's fine, I'm terrifyingly energetic now."

Too much had happened today, and everyone was already exhausted. Wu Xian walked to Fatty Pei Dasen's side, curled his body into Fatty Pei Dasen's hair, and soon entered a dream.

In the dream.

A flickering figure stood in front of Wu Xian and asked Wu Xian in an ethereal and void voice.

"What do you want to do tomorrow?"

In theory, the will of the labyrinth didn't need to worry about anything, but the mysterious Wu Xian really made it worry, so it decided to come and ask Wu Xian personally.

Wu Xian sat up from his body, only dazed for two seconds, and realized he was dreaming, so he ignored the voice's question and curiously explored his state in the dream.

In the real world, there is the saying of lucid dreaming.

That is, people in a dream can realize they are dreaming. Some experiencers have said that they can control some things in a lucid dream, and others have said that they are almost omnipotent in a dream.

Wu Xian had always been curious about this, but he had never entered the state of a lucid dream, so for him, being questioned by the will of the labyrinth in a dream this time was a very good opportunity.

After all, with the increase in Fudi experiences, Wu Xian would sooner or later encounter a Fudi dominated by "dreams."

The experience accumulated here could save his life in the future.

"The surroundings are a bit blurry..."

"Some scenes are incomplete."

"Various feelings are about the same as when awake."

While Wu Xian was studying the dream, the will of the labyrinth had been trying to communicate with Wu Xian.

Threats, inducements, compromises, vicious curses...

All kinds of things had been said, but Wu Xian remained unmoved, occasionally making strange movements, such as jumping into the water, or roasting his hands with flames...

Finally.

The will of the labyrinth broke its defense.

Its tone was no longer ethereal, but it roared at Wu Xian.

"You will pay the price for your rudeness at this moment!"

At this time, Wu Xian was using the water surface as a mirror, trying to use his will to make his slightly curly hair look dashing and straight.

He dismissed the threat of the will of the labyrinth; after all, this guy's ability in the dream was just talking to people and bewitching people's hearts.

If it had any other abilities, it would have used them on others long ago.

Suddenly.

Wu Xian looked at the will of the labyrinth, showing a thoughtful look.

The will of the labyrinth was overjoyed: "Are you finally willing to talk to me?"

"No, I still have an important thing to test."

"Test what?"

"Test if I can kill in a dream!"
