Chapter 317: The Terror Under the Well

Wu Xian stood at the mouth of the well.

Holding a torch in his hand.

He wanted to be a pioneer and explore whether it was safe underground.

The surface of this well is very wide, with a diameter of more than one meter, and even the largest coffin can be thrown in easily.

The torch in his hand was made by Wen Chao using wooden sticks, rags and lard. After experiments, it can burn for more than a quarter of an hour. Everyone carries one, and they can be used alternately for a long time, which is enough to provide basic lighting for exploration.

Wu Xian had a thin fishing line tied around his waist, which allowed him to slowly descend to the bottom of the well.

Some people may be confused.

So many people are going up and down, relying on this thin fishing line. Aren't you afraid that the fishing line will break due to excessive wear?

Actually no.

The reason why the magical instruments or weapons obtained from worshiping gods give people the impression that they are very fragile is because they are eroded by evil forces. If there are no evil forces involved and they are simply used, each magical instrument for worshiping gods will be very durable.

Just like when Wu Xian was experimenting with the bloody boomerang, he used it to smash countless weeds...

Wu Xian took a deep breath and said, "Go ahead!"

As the fishing line slowly descended, the light around him gradually dimmed. Even with the torch, Wu Xian felt a sense of oppression. Looking up, it seemed as if he was moving away from the light, and looking down, it seemed as if he was falling into an abyss.

Every time Li Juxian's hand trembled, Wu Xian would bump his hand against the wall of the well. With the light of the torch, he could clearly see the moss and various strange algae on the wall of the well.

These algae are affected by ghost energy and their appearances are all strange and creepy.

The further down he went, the colder Wu Xian felt. The damp water vapor seemed to penetrate into his body. His knee joints were aching slightly, as if he had suffered from rheumatism at such a young age.

at last……

When Wu Xian's toes touched the water, a bone-chilling chill suddenly rushed in, causing his entire body to shiver, but he still descended little by little until he was completely floating in the water.

He pulled the fishing line, and it immediately loosened a little, but it was still tied to his body to ensure that Wu Xian could be pulled up if any danger occurred.

By the light of the torch.

Wu Xian saw the scene down in the well.

The well is very spacious, and the structure of the entire bottom of the well is like a gooseneck bottle. The diameter of the well mouth is one meter, and the diameter of the bottom of the well is as much as five or six meters, like a small pool of water.

The water in the pool was extremely cold, but very clear. Even though corpses had been soaked there before, it only made Wu Xian feel a little disgusted.

He swung his legs a couple of times but couldn't touch anything.

Hold the torch as close to the water as possible.

Even with the light, the bottom of the well was pitch black and nothing could be seen down there. When I looked up, the light from the wellhead was extremely dim and I could only see human heads looking down.

in case……

The well water is deep enough to be several hundred meters deep.

in case……

There was a huge water monster in the well, opening its huge mouth towards him...

in case……

In the darkness, a hand grabbed Wu Xian's ankle and pulled him down.

Can anyone save him?
Countless terrifying scenes flashed through Wu Xian's mind in an instant.

The unknown deep pool stimulated his fear. Anything could be hidden under the pitch-black pool. His heart was beating violently, and the echo of his rapid breathing seemed to flash in the small space.

Seeing the growing fear, Wu Xian waved the torch hastily, and the light shone to the side, and he found a relatively flat stone on the left. He swam over to it, and his heartbeat gradually calmed down after he stepped on the stone.

finally.

Nothing appeared in the well water.

Wu Xian wiped the sweat off his forehead. He thought that after all he had been through, nothing could scare him anymore. Unexpectedly, this well where nothing had happened could send a chill down his spine.

Dark, claustrophobic, deep water, unknown...

"As long as there is danger that can take people's lives at any time, fear will always exist. Those who are not afraid are either ignorant or invincible... Unfortunately, I am neither ignorant nor invincible. I am just a fun person caught in the middle."

"Oh, but there are still good things."

"Fortunately, I listened to Jian Lingyu's advice and didn't insist on pouring manure into the well when I was exterminating the water ghosts... That's the real fear."

Wu Xian was muttering to himself in the darkness, his voice echoing in the empty well. The tension in his heart eased a little, and he started to get down to business.

Su Xuan and Wei Qinglan did not come down immediately.

They will wait until Wu Xian confirms that the area below is suitable before they come down from above one after another.

Before letting them come down, Wu Xian had to at least find a place to stay and a way to go somewhere else. He shone the torch around and his expression gradually fell.

"This is troublesome. The area is sealed off on all sides. There is no other place to stay except this stone. So how did the toxin spread to the other side of the pit?"

Wu Xian looked for the direction.

He discovered that the direction of the big pit was exactly in the direction of the platform where he was standing. He then tested the water flow, which confirmed his judgment.

So he stuck the torch into a gap in the wall of the well and reached out his hand to feel around under the stones.

click!
He touched something and slowly took it out. It was a piece of human hand bone. There was no flesh or blood on it. Only four of the five fingers were left...

I think it was left by someone who was killed by a water ghost in the past.

Wu Xian swallowed his saliva and said, "Well... it's not a human head. Thank you so much."

He calmed down for a moment, and continued to dig with the hand bone. The hand bone increased the range that Wu Xian could reach. As he touched, he felt a hole...

"Ah... this gap, doesn't it require diving to get in? But how far do I have to dive? Will I have no place to surface and breathe oxygen if I dive all the way down?"

Wu Xianguang was floating in the well water and felt uneasy. Naturally, he did not dare to try diving by himself.

He thought for a moment.

He took out a telescopic stick and knocked on the wall. Listening to the sound, a smile appeared on his face.

In the direction of the water flow, the well wall is a solid boulder, estimated to be at least several dozen centimeters thick. Stone of this thickness cannot be moved easily, and breaking it violently may also pose other risks.

But Wu Xian had a way to solve the problem.

He took out a poker card in his hand. The card was still dry. As a permanent accessory, the White Ghost Poker card also had a waterproof effect.

Wu Xian's hand trembled.

Then a brush appeared in his hand!

God's magic brush!

This brush is an imitation of the 'Ma Liang Magic Brush' by the immortal craftsmen. When you paint on materials with this brush, the materials can be directly forged into the shape of a painting!
With this brush, Wu Xian can easily distort the shape of the huge rock blocking the road and create a path out of thin air!

He waved the brush and started painting on the boulder.

Although there was no ink, wherever the tip of the brush touched, there was a faint glow. The rock was very large, so there was plenty of space for Wu Xian to paint.

Soon, a light gate appeared on the stone!
