Chapter 419: Dolls in the House
"If this is the case……"
Thinking of this possibility, Wu Xian felt a chill in his heart.
This means he made an error in judgement.
Although the old lady of the Yinzhai was brought in by Huang Debiao, the one who was truly converted was the marble girl. The old lady of the Yinzhai was just a dangerous evil spirit who was brought in!
The reason why she didn't launch an attack before was not because she was kind, but because she hadn't yet obtained the grave she had been dreaming of!
Once she took control of the haunted house.
She will attack people around her!
"Those three people are in danger!"
After realizing this, Wu Xian was eager to return home.
While he was thinking, the dozen or so corpses of the zombies were all burned to ashes.
Wu Xian searched quickly and found two incense sticks and a statue among the charred corpse. This action seemed very strange to Fu Jianan, but Wu Xian was not in the mood to care about his feelings at this time.
In addition, since statues of gods can appear here, it means that in this blessed land, as long as there is burning behavior, progress can be accumulated towards the appearance of new statues of gods.
Even if it means burning people!
If his prediction was correct, then the Forest of Hanging Corpses was a very important place in this underground maze. Dead people like the "kidnapped old man" would turn into inverted zombies after death and go to the Forest of Hanging Corpses on their own.
This means that the corpses just now will return to the Forest of Hanging Corpses, which is a huge treasure for Wu Xian. It’s a pity that his current strength is not enough to pick this precious gift.
He called Fu Jian.
"Come on, I'll take you to the base."
Fu Jianan looked surprised: "There is actually a human settlement here! How many people are there?"
"I hope there are still people alive there when we go back."
Wu Xian's expression changed from gloomy to bright as he spoke.
Fu Jian was also a little horrified after hearing this.
……
"No more, all gone!"
When Wu Xian returned to the big cave, he found it was pitch black.
Only a charred corpse was left sitting cross-legged.
In the room where the charred corpse's chest was, the old lady's portrait was looking at Wu Xian kindly, as if nothing had happened.
In the room where the charred corpse's abdomen was located, there were three little men, sitting one after another on chairs made of flesh and blood. These three little men were sewn from rags with very delicate craftsmanship, and they could show the characteristics of the three missing people.
"Crazy woman, Gong Xiujuan, and Zhao Zixuan..."
Wu Xian took a deep breath and touched the handle of the sawblade knife, but he resisted the urge to take action. He left the charred corpse's tomb, lit a bonfire, and the cave became bright again.
With the help of the firelight, Wu Xian scanned the cave. There were no obvious signs of a fight, and the original campfire had gone out on its own because no firewood was added.
This means that no fighting took place in the cave.
"Were they pulled directly in?"
"No, maybe they were tricked into going in. The haunted house might have some ability like a ghost wall. As long as they create a false illusion of danger, they can make the three of them voluntarily step into the trap."
It is also worth mentioning that there is a statue of the God of Fire standing on the edge of the cave. When Wu Xian left, the progress bar of this statue had been accumulated.
Wu Xian returned to the grave to see the charred corpse.
The old lady's kind expression suddenly became somewhat provocative, and she seemed to hope that Wu Xian would do something quickly.
But Wu Xian ignored her and walked towards the edge of the cave.
He decided not to worry about the three people in the charred corpse for the time being and to pray to God to improve his own strength.
If the three were being attacked when he came back, he could still try to save them. But now they have all been attacked, and Wu Xian is really powerless to do anything.
If Wu Xian rashly touches the tomb without understanding the abilities of the charred corpse, he might get himself trapped.
But before Wu Xian could worship the gods, a cry for help was heard from inside the tomb.
"Brother Wu, come and save us, it's really scary here!" This was Zhao Zixuan's voice.
Wu Xian cursed in a low voice and turned to look at the tomb. He saw Zhao Zixuan's puppet shouting loudly, stretching its neck and shouting repeatedly.
The voice startled Fu Jian.
Only then did he understand where the people who were originally in the stronghold had gone.
The weirdness of this place was beyond his imagination. He took two steps back and asked tremblingly.
"Do you want to save someone?"
Wu Xian shook his head helplessly: "This is obviously a trap. The old lady wants to drag us into it. As long as we are alive, the people inside can still survive. If we fall, they will be dead."
The voice just fell.
A shrill scream was heard from the cemetery.
The villain representing Zhao Zixuan is struggling hard.
The rag doll that looked like an old lady walked behind the Zhao Zixuan doll at some point, holding a pair of scissors that were powerful enough to cut off the head.
"Hurry up, I can't wait much longer!" Zhao Zixuan cried heartbreakingly, but Wu Xian still ignored him.
Fu Jianan had no friendship with these people, so he just watched from the side.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
at this time.
Wu Xian suddenly heard heavy footsteps, and Xiong Gang rushed out of a cave like a mad brown bear.
At this time, Xiong Gang was covered in blood, especially his arms, where large areas of skin were missing. It was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce battle.
But even though he was injured, Wu Xian was still very happy. Just as he was about to say hello, he saw Xiong Gang reaching out to the room below the tomb.
He was going to use brute force to bring the three villains out!
Bang!
A strange white smoke came out of the tomb. Xiong Gang tried hard to reach inside the tomb with his big hands, but he couldn't touch the inside of the tomb. After several attempts, he became furious and punched the tomb hard.
The fist, as big as a sandbag, was hit so hard that blood spurted out, which showed how much force Xiong Gang used, but the charred corpse remained intact.
After smashing like this for a while, Xiong just realized his own powerlessness. He sat on the ground gasping for breath, with huge beads of sweat all over his face.
Wu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that he has been seriously stimulated somewhere else, so he is so reckless..."
But his recklessness is not a bad thing.
At least he let Wu Xian know that using brute force would have no effect on the tomb. If he wanted to rescue the people inside, he would probably have to enter the tomb.
But this is too risky.
Maybe giving up the three people inside would be a better choice.
But for the time being, the more important thing is to treat Xiong Gang's injuries.
There was no clean cloth in the cave, so Wu Xian could only tear off his vest, tear it into two halves and wrap them around Xiong Gang's hands respectively.
During the bandaging process, Wu Xian asked Xiong Gang.
"I've been to the small cave. You should have met other survivors. Where are they?"
Xiong Gang was silent for a long time.
"She's dead..."
"She was dragged away by a monster. I tried my best to rescue her, but I was no match for the monster. If I hadn't sacrificed the skin on my arms, I would have been eaten by the monster."
"What kind of monster is that?"
Xiong Gang showed a look of fear on his face: "That thing has no fixed body. I don't know how to describe it. Anyway... it's scary, very scary."
