Chapter 431: The Fox Fire Lantern

Huge movement.

It also made others panic.

The scene, which was like a bloody hell, shocked everyone's brain and was deeply imprinted in the depths of their memory and would never be forgotten for a lifetime!

Gah! Ao! Ho! Ah!
Various animal roars, insect chirps, and human-like sounds came from the surrounding caves.

Some are excited, some are relieved, and some are afraid.

This sudden change not only affected Wu Xian and others, but also all the evil spirits.

There should have been evil spirits in the closing cave. During the closing process, these evil spirits should have tried to escape, but the only escape route was blocked by the light of the palace lanterns in the cave.

They had no way to escape from their caves and could only watch as the caves shrank, squashed bit by bit, their bones shattered, their flesh and blood disintegrated, and their blood squeezed out like oil.

Wu Xian licked his dry lips and sweat beads appeared on his forehead.

"This is bad!"

"I shouldn't have thought about that before I go to bed!"

The death of a large number of evil spirits in the cave seemed to be a good thing for Wu Xian and others, but if they thought about it more deeply, they would know that it would become more difficult for them to survive in the cave.

The first is that the scope of activities has been reduced by a quarter.

This means that the resources in the cave will disappear and they will never have the chance to get them again.

Moreover, the evil spirits in other caves will also react to this. They are not the only ones who act on instinct. Those evil spirits with a little intelligence can see at a glance that once the caves close, the large cave will be the key escape node.

However, this escape node was occupied by humans, who lit lanterns to prevent them from escaping.

So what will these evil spirits do to protect themselves?

kill!

As long as all the humans in the big cave are killed, the palace lanterns will no longer be lit, and this key transportation hub will not be blocked!
Originally, many evil spirits may only operate in their own small area, but after this, they will definitely take the initiative to hunt humans to buy themselves some safety time!
Also.

Are all the evil spirits really dead in those closed caves?

Assuming that there is a powerful evil spirit, it has the opportunity to escape from the closed cave and blend into other caves. Then the number of evil spirits in other caves will increase, and the danger when exploring the evil spirits will also increase!
Wu Xian turned and looked at the crazy woman.

"Have you ever seen anything like this before?"

The crazy woman hugged her arms, covered her mouth, and her body was shaking slightly. This exciting scene made her feel like vomiting.

"I haven't seen it. The cave in my memory has always been the same as before."

"How long have you been talking about?"

The crazy woman thought for a moment and said, "It should be at least several dozen days. If it's further away, I won't be able to remember clearly."

Dozens of days!
Wu Xian's pupils trembled wildly.

How long had she been in this cave?

Wu Xian had only speculated about her question before, but now he has solid evidence because ordinary people cannot survive in a cave for so long!

Then there are only two possibilities about the identity of the crazy woman.

The first type is that she is an underground maze NPC similar to a Rubik's Cube slave.

The second option is to keep her in the underground maze!
There was murderous intent in Wu Xian's eyes.

No matter which possibility it is, killing the crazy woman here can prevent something more dangerous from appearing.

but……

Could it be that the act of killing the crazy woman itself is the condition that triggers greater danger?
Wu Xian's eyes became more and more dangerous, and his hand was placed on the handle of the sawblade knife.

bass!
Just when Wu Xian was hesitating.

The palace lanterns suddenly went out without any warning! The suffocating darkness once again enveloped the cave. The oppressive mental shock came faster than ever before, and the fear in everyone's heart grew like weeds.

In the underground maze.

Palace lanterns have always represented absolute safety.

They had never encountered any danger under the palace lanterns. The only ones who were not afraid of the light of the palace lanterns were the evil spirits coming from outside.

but now.

This sense of security was broken!
"Is it time?"

"Impossible! I just checked the time and there are still 30 minutes before the lights go out..."

"No, now is not the time to think about the reasons!"

Foxfire Lantern Curse!

Wu Xian threw out a poker card, which was half burned. A green flame lantern appeared out of thin air and floated nimbly above and behind Wu Xian.

Behind the flame lantern, there is a cute flame fox tail.

The gentle light of the lantern illuminates the surroundings.

Then everyone saw that dozens of pairs of eyes suddenly appeared around them!
Evil spirits ran out of every cave. All of them had gloomy faces. They stood at the entrance of the cave, staring at everyone with eyes full of cold murderous intent!
Xiong Gang immediately revealed his true form and roared at the evil spirit.

Fat Tiger also let out a domineering roar.

The sounds of bears and tigers startled these creatures, making them hesitate to approach.

But Wu Xian had no time to care about the evil spirits around him.

Because a terrifying big mouth was aimed at his head!

Wu Xian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The owner of this mouth is a creature that is approximately humanoid.

It is smooth and slimy, with no characteristics of male or female. Its skin is like that of a white jade snail, and is translucent, so you can directly see the bones inside its body.

The most amazing thing is the head of this creature.

That should not be considered a head, but a terrifying mouth that was big enough to swallow an entire human head. At the top of the mouth, there was a 20-centimeter-long tentacle.

At the top of the tentacle is an eye!
Let's call this monster 'Terrible Snail'.

The terrifying snail was already biting towards Wu Xian. Its huge mouthparts contained spiral fangs that were twitching and retracting, but its biting speed was not very fast.

Wu Xian dodged easily and swung the sawblade knife to cut at the chest of the terrifying snail.

laugh!
The saw blade cut through the mucus, and large amounts of colorless liquid flew out, but Wu Xian frowned.

"So slippery!"

Due to the excessive mucus on its body surface, the blow only barely injured its skin, but fortunately it was too slow, and Wu Xian easily circled around it and quickly cut it several times.

But Wu Xian felt something was wrong.

If the speed of this terrifying snail was really so slow, then how did it rush to his side and attack him in such a short time when darkness fell?

Wu Xian looked around, collecting clues, and suddenly noticed that the tentacles on the head of the terrifying snail were moving slowly, and the movement trajectory seemed to be locking onto something.

"fire!"

Wu Xian suddenly felt horrified, as the evil spirit's eyes were fixed on the fox fire lamp!
puff!
By the time Wu Xian reacted, the eyes of the terrifying snail had already been fixed on the fox fire lamp.

puff!
A huge snail shell suddenly appeared from out of thin air above, smashed the Fox Fire Lamp down and covered it underneath!
