Chapter 397 Warning from the Statue

"Ah...ah..."

Huang Debiao sat on the ground and could not speak clearly.

He clearly mustered up the courage to take action, but now he was so frightened that he couldn't move.

Wu Xian's palms were sweating, he held the spider's foot thorn in one hand, and was ready to cast the Iron Tree Silver Flower Curse at any time. Fat Tiger changed his silly attitude and started to get angry at the bear.

Xiong Gang looked very scary at this time.

Thick black hair grew on its body, and there were terrifying fangs in its mouth. Its body had expanded a bit, and it looked extremely oppressive standing in the narrow tunnel.

This narrow environment is very advantageous for bears to fight.

The blood on Xiong Gang's chest had stopped. With Huang Debiao's limited strength, the wound was just a minor skin injury for Xiong Gang.

He looked very angry, as if he wanted to tear Wu Xian and the other man to pieces.

But perhaps because of Fat Tiger's intimidation, Xiong Gang hesitated for a moment, changed back into human form, looked at the two of them deeply, said nothing, turned and entered the tunnel, and disappeared into the darkness.

Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

He did not pursue.

Before facing Xiong Gang, he thought he had a sure chance of killing this guy alone, but when he really faced Xiong Gang, he was still a little timid.

He doesn't have many tricks now, and it's not yet time for him to confront the powerful evil spirit head-on.

Wu Xian sat next to Huang Debiao and asked curiously, "Tell me, how did you know that Xiong Gang was a monster?"

Huang Debiao calmed down a little.

"Of course I guessed it. His appearance, name, and timing were all just too coincidental. How could I not be suspicious?"

Wu Xian stared into his eyes: "You are lying."

Huang Debiao smiled bitterly: "Well, someone told me that Xiong Gang is a hidden monster, but I can't say who told me."

anyone?

After lighting the lights, the six of them stayed together. Wu Xian had never heard anyone say this to Huang Debiao.

The answer is obvious.

Huang Debiao was looking at the statue last night, so the news was revealed by the statue!
The statue told Huang Debiao in some way that Xiong Gang was an evil spirit, so Huang Debiao launched a surprise attack on Xiong Gang. Perhaps the statue also said that Xiong Gang's target was Xia Caoqing.

Wu Xian touched his chin.

Now that Xiong Gang has been confirmed to be the evil spirit, Huang Debiao's embarrassing appearance should not be a disguise.

That proves that Wu Xian’s first guess was correct.

Telling ghost stories in front of the statue will summon or create an evil spirit in the cave. This evil spirit is different from the original evil spirit in the cave and is not afraid of light.

But while confirming this guess, Wu Xian also felt that Xiong Gang's behavior was very strange.

Although he was an evil spirit, Wu Xian did not sense any hostility from him. This was one of the reasons why Wu Xian did not draw a conclusion at the first time, but had a second guess.

And after Xiong Gang left, Wu Xian had new doubts in his mind.

Why did the statues in the cave temple help Huang Debiao to uncover the evil conspiracy?
It is obvious that Xiong Gang was summoned by the statue, so why would the statue help humans to expose Xiong Gang’s disguise?
The logic of the statue's behavior is contradictory!

Could he be the fun-loving type?

Wu Xian couldn't come up with an answer to this question for the time being, but he had already kept the doubt in his mind.

While thinking.

The fire has gradually died down.

Wu Xian picked up a piece of burning residue from the ground, and gently squeezed it with his hand. He felt a completely different texture from charcoal...

“Not wood, more like mushroom.”

He walked to the place where the bearded man was before, and saw a particularly obvious mark on the ground. He pressed it with his finger and found that the ground here was soft. It was about the size of a person's waist, soft underneath, and felt like something hard inside. Wu Xian used the spider's foot thorn to cut it open and pulled out a stick of incense from it.

"Tsk, I see."

No wonder the hut was so discordant, burned so quickly, and the bearded uncle had such a dull expression.

It turns out that this whole cabin.

They’re actually mushrooms!

Dead Man's Finger Mushroom also exists in real life.

It just looks a bit like a finger, but perhaps the species in the blessed land will be one step further than the real one and directly grow into the appearance of a human.

The bearded man had a dull look in his eyes because he was not a human, but just a mimicking mushroom.

And that seemingly perfect hut is also part of the mimicry. By mimicking humans and huts, it attracts humans into itself and then digests humans or other creatures.

Because it is mushroom, it burns faster than wood.

Just came to this conclusion.

Wu Xian shook his head again.

In addition to the traces of mushroom mimicry, there are other traces in the cabin, such as the clothes and blanket on the bearded man are not mimicry, the pot for cooking mushrooms is not mimicry, and the saw is not mimicry either.

These things cannot be grown by mushroom mimicry alone.

So this trap was not set by mushrooms, but by other things. Using these mushrooms, the trap was improved.

So we can't let our guard down now.

Wu Xian used the spider's leg to scratch the ground twice and pulled out a saw.

The saw was still hot and slightly deformed, but the short period of burning did not cause it to melt completely. Instead, it became somewhat hideous. It seemed that its melting point was much higher than that of the previous oil lamp.

Wu Xian planned to take this thing back, grind it, and wrap some cloth strips around the handle so that he could use it as a weapon.

The pot of mushroom soup was still there, but the pot had been deformed and leaked due to the high temperature, leaving only a little soup base.

Wu Xian felt a little bit sorry.

After all, the taste was really good, almost as good as the soups carefully prepared by Heigu.

Although the certificate of ordination for relatives has the function of identification, it can only identify some high-grade items. Only things that are comparable to props for worshiping gods in terms of effect are worthy of being described in a few words by the certificate of ordination.

Therefore, Wu Xian could not use the certificate of ordination to determine whether the mushrooms were poisonous.

Found a new weapon.

The remaining embers were also burned out.

Wu Xian was at the innermost part of the room and saw what he wanted to see most.

Tianguan - Statue of the Southern Three Qi Fire Star God!

Because Huang Debiao was there, Wu Xian's worship was very secretive. He simply lit the incense burner and inserted it. A stream of hot flame spurted out of the incense burner, which scared Wu Xian, but Huang Debiao didn't notice it at all.

Just as Wu Xian had guessed before.

There are still three talismans.

They are the Fire in the Stone Spell, the Melting Character, and the Chestnut Extraction from the Fire Spell.

This Fire Spell in the Stone should be an ordinary fire attack spell, which is similar in nature to the True Fire Spell. Wu Xian saw Sun Qian use the Aerial Fire Spell on Luowang Island. It should be a system and can be used three times.

As for the "Melt" character, it is a talisman used to add effects to weapons. Weapons with the "Melt" character added to them will become scalding hot during battle, like a red-hot iron.

The technique of taking chestnuts from fire allows Wu Xian to ignore the flames for a period of time and take out things from the flames at will. This technique can be used twice.

Wu Xian didn't look for too long before making his choice.

He took the talisman in the middle without hesitation, because it was the talisman that could most directly improve his strength!
