Chapter 979

However, the group's reactions were quick; Hu Bayi immediately said, "It seems that not only was the space we saw before an illusion, but even that jade armor was as well."

Yang Lusi couldn't help but take a deep breath and immediately said, "The problem is, who exactly is that jade armor?"

Upon hearing such a question, everyone's brows immediately furrowed, because this conjecture was truly too horrifying.

The subtext of what Yang Lusi was implying meant that what they were facing was very likely a living person?

Or perhaps some kind of zombie transformed from a living person.

Then the people involved here wouldn't be too many; it might be the very result they least wanted to see.

And soon, the others didn't even mention this question, because there was indeed such a possibility.

Because the things in the bottle had a white outer skin, like tofu.

Inside were dark green particles like agate, but these particles were very soft, which is why they could digest them after taking them!

Ah!

A scream rang out, and everyone's gaze converged.

For them, all of this was already a common occurrence, and they were even somewhat unfazed.

Almost immediately, they identified that this voice came from Zhao Young Master; it was not surprising for this kid to be easily startled.

It was unknown when Zhao Young Master had woken up; at this moment, his body was constantly scooting backward, as if avoiding something.

At the same time, Zhao Young Master held his arm up, pointing in one direction, and kept muttering something in his mouth; the sound was too soft, and because the distance was too far, no one heard it.

The reason Yang Lusi had raised that question just now was that she realized not only had they ignored the contents of the bottle, but the corpse that had been constantly shaking in the jade armor had also disappeared.

Furthermore, this space had become much smaller compared to the previous great hall, yet they hadn't discovered that a cave entrance was hidden in the pitch-black space.

Because it was too dark, no one had discovered it, but these things happened to fall into Zhao Young Master's eyes.

He not only saw the cave entrance but also a corpse beneath it; the most fatal part was that he shone his flashlight on it.

It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't looked, but the moment the flashlight beam hit it, Zhao Young Master almost peed himself in fear.

Everything is feared when one starts associating things, and he was also afraid of seeing through the so-called truth; Zhao Young Master knew very well what he had just eaten, which triggered associations in his heart.

When Zhao Young Master woke up, Yang Lusi happened to be discussing the issues regarding the great hall itself with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, as well as the thing taken from the small bottle; actually, even from far away, Zhao Young Master had seen it—what exactly was it?

At this distance, Zhao Young Master shouldn't have been able to see it; it was just that he was too unlucky.

In this space, there was originally only very dim light, and the moment Wang Kaixuan took out that small bottle, he shone his flashlight directly on it.

Even from this distance, Zhao Young Master could see it clearly!

He saw that white thing, and then when the flashlight shone on that corpse, Zhao Young Master felt a chill run down his spine.

The only reason for this was that he saw something that was also like tofu!

The corpse was none other than Xu Lang; Zhao Young Master understood what might have happened in an instant.

That was that the ghost thing that had attacked them before was just created by the cooperation of the imaginary space and the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac, and what he saw before his eyes was the real thing!

If it were just eating those kinds of bugs or foul-smelling snake blood, Zhao Young Master wouldn't have had such a reaction.

Relatively speaking, what he had eaten this time was brain matter!
