Chapter 383 Darkness Itself


    It was a plain palace lantern.


    The shape of the palace lantern is traditional and simple, with a lacquered wood frame, a white lampshade, and four hanging tassels hanging below. The light of the candle shines through the yellow cloth, illuminating a large space with warm light.


    The one holding the palace lantern is a statue.


    The statue has a slender body and a human-like head, but its ears are strangely large. The body is bowed, and it holds the pole of the palace lantern with one hand, raising the pole to more than three meters high.


    Behind the statue is a temple.


    This temple has red bricks and green tiles, has no name, and occupies a small area. The old and greasy door curtains cover most of the interior scenery, and only a solemn statue of the **** can be seen sitting inside.


    Under the light.


    Wu Xian gradually relaxed.


    The experience he had just experienced in the darkness made the hair on his body stand up. Even a person like him found it terrifying. Only those who have experienced it personally can understand the deep-seated fear of darkness.


    Then Wu Xian began to look at the surrounding environment.


    This is a spacious Dadu Cave. Except for the direction of the temple, other places are relatively primitive.


    There are stalactites above and stalagmites below. The ground is slightly uneven, but overall it is flat. There is a pool opposite the temple. It seems that in this blessed place, at least drinking water is not something to worry about.


    Looking up, down, left, and right, there are holes everywhere, and every hole is dark. I don''t know where it leads, and I don''t know what will come out of the hole.


    Besides Wu Xian, there are others here.


    One was a skinny woman with disheveled hair. This woman was huddled in a corner with some hay on the ground and a small pile of dry firewood. Her eyes were bloodshot and she kept staring at Wu Xian without knowing what she was saying.


    There was also a young man and woman, dressed as mountaineers, but their backpacks had been lost. The two were helping each other up, and there was some blood on their bodies.


    Wu Xian looked up and saw a dark hole above.


    It seems that the sound that saved Wu Xian''s life just now was made by these two people when they fell from above. They were still fine after falling from such a high place. These two people are really lucky.


    Wu Xian thought for a moment.


    He walked towards the woman huddled in the corner.


    Although there is light, Wu Xian is not sure whether it is safe now. He needs to understand the current environment as quickly as possible. The man and woman obviously just fell off, and Wu Xian may not know more.


    Therefore, this skinny woman is the best source of information.


    Wu Xian flicked his curly hair to try to look as handsome as possible: "Sister, do you know what the situation is here?"


    "Great, great!"


    The woman ignored Wu Xian, but covered her arms and muttered to herself nervously.


    "The people who wanted to die are here, someone else can die, I have food again, and I can live a few more days..."


    Wu Xian pushed the woman twice, but she still didn''t respond. She just kept repeating some meaningless words. It seemed that there was no way to extract information from her for the time being.


    Then Wu Xian turned to look at the man and woman.


    The man gave Wu Xian a bad look: "Don''t look at me, I still want to ask you."


    After some communication.


    Wu Xian learned that the two were newlyweds, the man was Huang Debiao and the woman was Xia Caoqing.


    The couple went on their honeymoon and wanted to leave some special memories, so they backpacked and hiked into the mountains. As a result, they lost their footing and fell into a hole buried in weeds. They fell for who knows how long before they finally landed here.


    Huang Debiao seems to be a very angry man. In such a situation, he can hardly think. His face is as black as coal. It is very difficult to communicate and he often gets angry for no reason.


    Xia Caoqing is a good-tempered person. She patted Huang Debiao''s arm to comfort her: "The two of us are traveling in Zhongzhi Mountain. This should be under Zhongzhi Mountain. If we don''t go back for a long time, there will definitely be a search and rescue team to rescue us. It should be Don''t worry too much. "You can''t go back!" the mad woman suddenly screamed, "No one can go back!"


    This scream frightened Xia Caoqing and turned pale. Huang Debiao stood up and wanted to hit someone, but his wife stopped him and prevented any violence.


    There was no atmosphere for discussion between the three of them.


    Wu Xian stepped aside.


    Judging from Xia Caoqing''s words, this world is the healthiest blessed place he has ever experienced.


    Although strange events have occurred, the outside world is still functioning normally. Only in a safe enough world will newlyweds be so bold as to travel into the mountains.


    But just because the world is safe, doesn''t mean it''s safe here.


    When I first entered the blessed land, it was too dark to see the content on the certificate. Now I am taking advantage of the light to see what message the certificate left for me.


    ‘The deep darkness kills people, and strange words stir up ghosts. ’


    ‘It’s hard to survive the day with the dim light of the lamp, but the evil spirit refuses to let out the light. ’


    ‘Survive in this blessed place for seven days and then you can leave. ’


    Wu Xian''s eyelids twitched. Putting aside the content of the poor poem, the requirements of this blessed land were too simple, just to survive for seven days.


    But the simpler the request, the more it proves the danger of this blessed land.


    Because this can only show that in this blessed land, even just surviving is a difficult thing. Unlike other blessed lands, there is still some room for messing up.


    "Deep darkness can kill people. It means that in a dark environment, there is a danger that can kill people. I have just experienced this."


    "Weird words can stir up ghosts... What does this mean, asking me to control my mouth?"


    "It''s hard to survive in the dim light of a lamp. It should mean that the key to survival in this blessed land is light..."


    "The fierce god..."


    Wu Xian''s teeth were slightly sour. This fierce **** shouldn''t be referring to the level of evil spirits. Could it be that in this blessed land, he had to face evil spirits at the level of a fierce god?


    Even though he was holding the Yama Tie, Wu Xian still felt a little unsafe, because the Yama Tie could not guarantee a one-hit kill against evil spirits, let alone higher-level evil spirits.


    This seemingly ordinary world has been targeted by a fierce god, and the crisis contained in it is even more terrifying than those ruined worlds.


    Wu Xian continued to turn over the documents, turning them over and over again, and his eyes went dark again.


    "No, I haven''t done anything yet, why is there a curse on my body?"


    Curse: Dark Fear


    When the cursed person stays in the darkness, the negative state of ''Dark Fear'' will gradually accumulate on his body. The darker the environment, the faster the accumulation speed.


    The deeper the state, the more unstable the cursed person''s emotions will be, and all kinds of abilities will be proportionally weakened.


    This status will weaken over time when you are in a light environment.


    Wu Xian put down the ultimatum.


    Take a deep breath.


    This curse should be indiscriminately effective for everyone, so even if you have the ability to see at night, you will not be able to easily get through the blessed land, because in this blessed land, the most terrifying thing is not the things in the darkness, but the darkness itself.
