Chapter 398 The Call from the Darkness
Wu Xian also had his own considerations when choosing the fusion character.

None of these three talismans can be said to be useless.

The Stone Fire Curse can directly increase the damage capability, but the Iron Tree and Silver Flower Curse has not been used yet, so it won’t have much impact if you don’t choose the curse for now.

The technique of taking chestnuts from fire may look inconspicuous, but it is very functional. If Wu Xian had this technique before, he could have safely taken out the oil lamp, and he could also formulate a battle strategy based on his short-term immunity to fire.

The biggest advantage of melting talismans is that they can bless weapons, and Wu Xian happened to have a melted saw in his hand. After adding the talisman to it, Wu Xian would have a real weapon.

Although not as good as the fine weapons produced by worshipping the gods, combined with the potential of being a natural killer, it can greatly enhance Wu Xian's sense of security in the blessed land.

Wu Xian calmly put away the talisman.

I'd better wait until the saw is sharp before using this talisman.

After the worship was over, there was nothing useful left in the hut. Wu Xian held a torch and walked up to Huang Debiao, who was still sitting on the ground, still a little overwhelmed.

"Let's go."

Huang Debiao was a little confused: "Where to go? Continue exploring?"

Wu Xian shook his head: "No, we'd better go back first."

"okay."

Huang Debiao stood up and looked relieved.

Xiong Gang's roar dispersed the courage he had finally gathered, and he felt very happy when he heard that he was going back.

And if Wu Xian guessed correctly, there was a hidden evil spirit hiding here. The evil spirit put clothes on the mimic mushrooms and cooked a pot of thick soup in the cabin.

Under normal circumstances, the evil spirit should have launched a sneak attack when Wu Xian and others were dealing with the Mushroom Uncle, leaving Wu Xian and others unable to take care of themselves and thus forcing them all to stay here.

But because of the sudden explosion in the cabin and the fact that Xiong Gang had just revealed his true form, the evil spirit did not show up.

Therefore, Wu Xian not only needs to be wary of Xiong Gang, but also of sneak attacks from evil spirits. Anyway, they haven't gone far along this road, so it would be better to retreat back to the cave, replenish supplies and take another route.

In addition, Huang Debiao also needs to slow down a bit before he can return to normal exploration.

The two men and the tiger turned towards the mushroom forest.

Just as he was about to pass through the mushroom forest, Huang Debiao heard an old man calling him.

"De Biao!"

Huang Debiao turned his head subconsciously, but saw nothing. Instead, he instantly felt a chill, as if the surroundings had become much colder. At the same time, the torch he was holding also lost some of its light, and the illuminated area became much smaller.

"Who, who called me?"

Huang Debiao looked for the source of the sound in panic, but only saw a pair of feet. The old man's upper body was hidden in the darkness. But just the simple old man's shoes on the feet and the voice calling Huang Debiao made his body tremble.

"Grandma, is that you?"

Huang Debiao lost both his parents, and during his most difficult times, he relied on his grandmother to get through it.

"It's grandma, come here, let me take a closer look, my Debiao has grown so tall."

While Huang Debiao was wavering, Wu Xian also heard the call of an old man, the old man who raised Wu Xian.

"Axian!"

Wu Xian rolled his eyes.

It was this method again. He had seen it once before.

There are ghosts calling people at night, and trouble will come when they turn around.

Judging from the situation on Huang Debiao's side, if they turn back this time, the brightness of the flame will be weakened. If both of their torches are weakened, they will soon collapse in the darkness.

Unfortunately, Wu Xian and Huang Debiao heard the sound at the same time. When he realized that something was wrong, he could no longer stop Huang Debiao. So Wu Xian grabbed Huang Debiao's arm.

"I don't know what you heard, but what I heard was the voice of my adoptive father, which is definitely different from what you heard, so the things behind it are fake. It is just using the familiar things in your memory to confuse you."

Huang Debiao was about to take a step, but when Wu Xian grabbed him, he suddenly came to his senses and felt scared.

He immediately realized that his grandmother would not appear here, so the only feeling that the familiar figure gave him was biting coldness and fear.

Even though he and his grandmother have a deep relationship, his survival instinct will not let him seek death for the sake of this relationship.

Huang Debiao trembled and said, "Then, what should I do?"

Wu Xian pondered for a moment.

The arm in his hand was cold, which meant that turning the head would not only reduce the brightness of the flame, but also have a cooling effect on the person turning the head.

According to folk legends, there is a fire on each of a person's shoulders and head. If one suddenly turns his head at night, the fire on the corresponding shoulder will go out, making the person more vulnerable to evil spirits.

This evil power is probably based on a similar principle.

Then should Huang Debiao turn around and come back in the direction he turned his head?

No!

Wu Xian couldn't guarantee that his guess was accurate, and because he didn't want to be tricked, he couldn't turn his head, so Huang Debiao was the eyes he was looking at behind him.

"Don't look back, just follow me and back away slowly."

So in the dark cave, the following scene appeared: a man was looking forward, another man was retreating, and a big tiger was following with its head lowered.

Fat Tiger also sensed the danger and kept his head down, refusing to look back.

If you want it to fight to the death, Wu Xian also needs to enter combat mode. But Wu Xian can't even turn his head, so how can it take the initiative to fight?

So Wu Xian looked ahead and slowly pulled Huang Debiao forward.

"Keep this state and go back to the cave. As long as we get to a place with bright enough light, this thing won't affect us."

Huang Debiao's throat gurgled and his forehead was covered with sweat.

He took small steps back, his heart trembling with every step. He didn't have the ability to memorize the entire future route, so for him, every step was unknown.

He didn't know if he would suddenly step on empty air, nor did he know what was behind him. He could only follow Wu Xian's guidance and move towards an unknown ending.

"Please, don't let go."

"Well, no."

In Huang Debiao's ears, his grandmother's voice suddenly disappeared. Because he was too nervous, he regarded all the old woman's words as magic sounds in his ears, so he could not hear any useful information.

Then the old man's voice appeared in Wu Xian's ears again.

Wu Xian turned a deaf ear to the voice and just moved forward slowly, occasionally directing Huang Debiao not to fall.

After walking a few steps.

Wu Xian suddenly stopped.

Huang Debiao asked tremblingly: "Why did it stop? Is there something in front?"

Wu Xian licked his lips and said, "Nothing. I'm wondering how to get rid of the thing behind it."

He lied.

There is something ahead, but if Huang Debiao were to explain it, this guy would probably lose control of himself.
