Chapter 458

Wu Xian sneered.

This downward staircase might be the most dangerous place in the underground labyrinth.

But did the will of the labyrinth provide them with a way to live?

If no matter how you walk, it's a dead end, it's better to walk the path that makes the will of the labyrinth the most uncomfortable.

Losing together is better than winning alone! Besides, who lives and who dies is yet to be known!

The dark cave behind him made a whistling wind sound.

Wu Xian took the lead and walked down the stairs.

After walking two steps, he noticed that the carvings on both sides of the wall were very vivid.

On the walls on both sides of the stairs, every short distance, there was a relief carving. The content of the relief was much the same, all scenes of humans suffering torture: skinning, bone scraping, tendon pulling, intestine pulling...

The sculptor had superb skills, expressing the painful expressions and the scenes of flesh and blood being destroyed vividly. Through these relief carvings, Wu Xian seemed to be able to directly feel the pain of the people being tortured.

Especially a relief carving of eight small hooks pulling the lips completely up made Wu Xian feel phantom pain.

The pain of the lips tearing, the teeth feeling the biting cold...

Wu Xian hurriedly covered his mouth and looked down.

At the same time, Gong Xiujuan fell on the stairs, covering her hand and screaming, as if five toothpicks had simultaneously pierced into the five fingers of her left hand.

Xu Meng scratched his back hard, the skin on his back seemed to be torn open in one breath from the lower waist, rolled up to the position of the shoulder blades.

Wu Xian touched his mouth.

His mouth was still intact, but the pain was very real. Along with the pain came a strange pleasure, making him unable to help but want to continue experiencing that feeling.

"Don't look at the relief carvings, let's walk forward with our heads down!"

Because of the existence of that pleasure, Xu Meng and Gong Xiujuan soon recovered their ability to act.

Everyone walked down along the stairs with their heads down.

Xu Meng would look up at the relief carvings while walking, the intense pain made his body twitch, but the pleasure that followed made him feel as if he were shaking.

Gong Xiujuan wanted to look up at the statues several times, but was pressed down by Xiong Gang's big hand. After a few times, she could gradually control herself.

Wu Xian didn't think about looking up. He could understand why Xu and Gong couldn't control themselves. Everyone had been suppressed in this underground labyrinth for too long, and any degree of happiness had a great attraction to everyone.

Black Hei Hei Tian Zhu's full name includes the word "extreme pain," which shows that Black Hei Hei Tian Zhu might master the power of pain, so the relief carvings on this downward staircase might not be a punishment for visitors, but a reward for Black Hei Hei Tian Zhu's believers...

During the march, an occasional cry of pain would come out.

Because the stairs were downward, even if they kept their heads down, everyone couldn't avoid seeing the statues occasionally, suffering sudden pain, among which Xu Meng's voice was the most frequent.

What's worse, not being able to look up limited everyone's field of vision.

No one knew whether there was some terrifying thing happening quietly in the place they couldn't see.

During the march, Wu Xian discovered two things.

First, shadows.

The shadows on everyone were only reflected by the blue flames, but not by the white flames of the skull lamps on the wall.

This meant that the dazzling skull lamps didn't actually emit light.

The environment in the staircase was still dark, and the bright white light was just some kind of illusion that transcended common sense, so they could clearly "see," so they absolutely must not extinguish the torches.

Second, sound. Among the occasional cries of pain, most were very familiar, but there were two different female voices.

One voice was Gong Xiujuan's.

But the other one was not Liuli's.

That is to say, there was another woman following behind them! Wu Xian turned around suddenly, holding a playing card in his hand, and let out a sharp shout: "Who is following behind, come out, or I will take action!"

"Master, wait a moment, the concubine will come out."

I saw some semi-transparent things suddenly appear in the shadows of the stairs above. These things were twisted, squirming, winding, crawling...

It was a snake pack! The snake pack gathered together and turned into a woman wearing white clothes.

This woman was wearing a white quju with triple collars, red lips and green eyebrows, graceful and charming, her arms were like snow lotus roots, her ten fingers were like green onions, her black hair was coiled up, and she wore two white snake hairpins.

The upper body looked like a graceful beauty, but the lower body covered by the dress was crawling and squirming, not like human legs, but more like a snake tail.

Everyone was startled.

Except for Liuli and Xu Meng, everyone else had seen her.

When they went out to explore together, it was this woman who helped everyone drive away a very tricky three-legged toad.

After the woman appeared, she bowed to everyone.

"Everyone, don't worry, the concubine's name is Bai Gu. I have been trapped in this labyrinth for a long time and only recovered my sanity a few days ago. I heard that you want to strangle the Demon Infant and escape from this underground labyrinth, so I followed you, wanting to find an opportunity to help you and seek a glimmer of life."

The reason Bai Gu gave was still able to hold water.

The underground labyrinth is very large, and what Wu Xian and others explored was only a small part. It is normal for other resistance fighters to exist.

But when she spoke, she always secretly looked at Wu Xian, glanced at him, and then moved her gaze away, and then her cheeks were slightly red, as if she were very shy.

Wu Xian's head grew big.

He didn't know this big sister, why was she blushing!

After a moment of confusion, Wu Xian suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He hurriedly opened the Juanren Dudie and found that his "Dragon-Snake Affinity" characteristic had disappeared.

This characteristic was obtained by Wu Xian in the Eight Tombs Fudi.

After that Fudi ended, Liu Xian Gu, to thank Wu Xian for his help, gave Wu Xian a one-time "Dragon-Snake Affinity," the effect of which was to increase the favorability of a certain snake creature toward Wu Xian.

Liu Xian Gu is a superior snake demon, and the characteristic she gave Wu Xian made Bai Gu's favorability toward Wu Xian continue to rise. At first, she just helped Wu Xian, but later she kept thinking about Wu Xian, so she followed everyone and planned to help secretly.

Wu Xian put down the Dudie. Now he confirmed that Bai Gu could be trusted, and the winning percentage of this Fudi was a bit higher.

But facing Bai Gu's fiery gaze, Wu Xian was a bit tearful. Can't there be a normal beautiful girl who likes him?

Why is it either a hedgehog or a snake!

After adding Bai Gu, the actions of the crowd did not change, and they still kept their heads down and kept moving forward. After they walked half the distance, there were more things on both sides of the stairs.

Those things were shrines.

These shrines were placed randomly, with red cloth strips hanging on them, as well as withered flower wreaths. What was enshrined inside was not a divine statue, but rough-carved black stone curse dolls.

When everyone passed by with their heads down, their line of sight happened to be opposite to the line of sight of each curse doll.

All the curse dolls within their line of sight were very well-behaved, but after they walked past the dolls, they could hear strange crawling sounds coming from behind!
