Chapter 192 The World of Pipes
“Should I light a candle.”
Looking at the dim and depressing pipes, I didn’t know how long the road ahead was.
Wen Fuyao couldn't help but ask Xu Ke.
But Xu Ke rejected Wen Fuyao's idea.
Lighting candles and adding a light source can indeed increase your sight and detect possible dangers in advance.
But as the saying goes, every gain must come with a loss.
In this completely dark pipe space, there is no room to hide at all.
Even if some danger is discovered with light, it is difficult to respond in time.
On the contrary, the area that the candle's candle flame can cover is less than a few feet at most.
No matter how far away it was, it was still dark and nothing could be seen clearly.
The dangers hidden in the darkness may be attracted by the light, adding many real dangers.
Just like the lightless world he had experienced before, Wen Fuyao attracted a large number of weird people to surround him just because he lit candles.
"Unless the weird creatures in this world are afraid of light, lighting candles hastily will only increase the risk."
After hearing this, Wen Fuyao nodded sincerely:
"Fortunately, you, the immortal, guided me in my dream. Otherwise, if I were alone, I would have committed many taboos."
There is a person beside me who is helping me make suggestions, analyze the current situation, and deal with the situation. The psychological comfort to a person is huge.
Otherwise, Wen Fuyao was really not sure how long he could endure the series of horrific nightmares. He might not be able to survive more than a few nightmares before he would be tortured alive and become a lunatic.
While talking, Wen Fuyao had climbed out a distance of about ten feet.
But still can't find the end of this pipe.
At this moment, Wen Fuyao's hand seemed to touch something.
It is square and feels as hard as wood... It looks like a coffin?
Wen Fuyao couldn't help but feel a little scared, worried that he had climbed in such a circle and ended up back to the coffin at the beginning?
“No, it doesn’t seem to be the coffin you crawled out of in the first place.”
Wen Fuyao touched around carefully, and sure enough, he found a section of the coffin that emerged from the pipe wall. , indeed there are no traces of damage.
This coffin is not the one that was drilled out by oneself.
"Immortal, do you think there are other people in this coffin?"
Xu Ke was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked in a dumbfounded way:
"On the contrary, I feel , there is a higher probability that there is some kind of dangerous monster inside."
"If you want to try..."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Fuyao shuddered and gave up that terrible idea.
Even if I barely win the bet, there are really ordinary people locked up like me inside.
In such a narrow and closed environment, it is difficult to estimate how much consciousness the other party can retain.
People are separated from each other. In this environment, the other party will not only be unable to help you, but may even become a more terrifying danger.
Wen Fuyao carefully walked around the coffin and was about to continue climbing towards the front of the pipe.
Then I heard a rustling sound coming from the coffin behind me.
It seemed like there was a sound of something scratching the inner wall of the coffin.
"Is there someone inside?"
"If there is someone, you can knock three times."
Wen Fuyao tentatively asked.
But there was still no response from inside, only the sound of frantically scratching the coffin with nails.
The harsh sound made Wen Fuyao even imagine the 'creature' inside. Maybe the fingernails had been opened long ago and the fingers had been worn down to the bone.
Even until the flesh and blood were bloody and horrific, there was still no sign of stopping.
Wen Fuyao, whose scalp was numb, quickly sped up his crawling movements and left the vicinity of the coffin.
On the next journey, Wen Fuyao saw various coffins more than once.
But the situation inside is also strange.
There were bursts of crying coming from some coffins. No matter how Fuyao shouted, the other party would not give any reply.
There were only bursts of terrifying cries, like weeping and complaining, and those who cried felt terrified in their hearts.
Some coffins also contained the sound of a baby's laughter. The sound of laughter could easily penetrate the coffin and reach Wen Fuyao's ears, who were several feet away.
Some coffins emitted curses, which were so unpleasant that no communication could be made.
Wen Fuyao was sure that if there was really a person inside, the other person would definitely not have the energy to curse so vigorously in such a narrow environment.
At least Wen Fuyao himself was sure that after only a moment in the coffin, he could feel the air becoming turbid, his brain felt dizzy, and he could no longer use any strength.
It is certainly impossible to curse in such a bold voice for such a long time.
"This pipeline doesn't look safe. Maybe there is a 'person' in the coffin who can climb out of the coffin on his own like you."
"Currently We haven’t seen any forks in this pipeline yet. Once a monster chases you, you won’t even be able to take the forked road..."
While he was talking, there were actually two forks in the road ahead.
And unlike before, there seemed to be a faint light shining at the ends of these two forked roads.
The pipe on the left is bursts of flashing red light.
At the end of the pipe on the right is an extremely weak green light.
"This...which way should I go?" Xu Ke hesitated for a moment and said again:
“Wait for me, I’ll summon something to help you explore the way.”
[Consume five development points to exchange for a ‘Fat-Headed Fly’. 】
【Consume five development points to exchange for a ‘Fat-Headed Fly’. 】
Two fist-sized flies appeared in front of Wen Fuyao.
Wen Fuyao couldn't help but feel stiff on his face.
Otherwise, these two flies are really too fat and disgusting, and their appearance is not very pleasing.
But Xu Ke has no choice. Among the evil things that can be summoned, this fat-headed fly is the most suitable for exploration.
The speed is not slow, and they have physical bodies. If they can pass safely, it must not be a danger to Wen Fuyao.
The most important thing is that this evil object is one of the cheapest summons.
Even if he was sacrificed as cannon fodder, Wen Fuyao would never suffer.
Following Xu Ke’s order, the two fat-headed flies each chose a fork in the road and flew along the pipe.
This fat-headed fly has almost no fighting power, but it is much larger than ordinary flies.
It is almost one of the most harmless evil creatures in the outside world. It can only feed on rotten food and cannot even suck the blood of animals.
To a certain extent, the fat-headed fly can even serve as a harmless animal, allowing it to deal with some common garbage and decay.
Wen Fuyao waited nervously before the fork in the road, sincerely hoping that the two ugly evil things could help him find a way out.
After a while, a faint buzzing sound came from the red-lit pipe on the left, and the sound soon approached Wen Fuyao.
I saw the ugly fat-headed fly flying out, its appearance unchanged, and it still looked lively and vigorous.
"Well, it seems there is no danger on the left side." Xu Ke nodded.
At this moment, the same sound came from the pipe on the right, also approaching Wen Fuyao at an extremely fast speed.
"There seems to be no problem on the right side?" As soon as Wen Fuyao finished speaking, he heard Xu Ke's anxious voice:
"Be careful!"
Xu Ke confirmed in just a moment, that from then on The speed of the fat-headed fly coming from the right was more than twice as fast as before.
And the noise of flapping wings has also increased a lot.
The other party definitely had an accident!
Although Wen Fuyao didn't know what happened, after hearing Xu Ke's warning, he hurriedly raised the dagger, curled up slightly to gather strength, and was ready to dodge.
Sure enough, the fat-headed fly that escaped from the pipe underwent a strange and drastic change.
The whole body is a whole circle bigger, the eyes are red, the body is covered with terrifying tentacles, and the mouthparts are also one size larger.
For a moment, Wen Fuyao was stunned by the reborn fat-headed fly.
Fortunately, the other fat-headed fly responded promptly under Xu Ke's control.
He stood directly in front of Wen Fuyao, and his body was firmly penetrated by the terrifying mouthparts.
The next moment, the fat-headed fly seemed to be drained of blood by a powerful water pump, and was instantly turned into a mummified corpse by the same kind.
It fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The line of sight inside the pipe was blocked, and Wen Fuyao could only rely on the red eyes of the fat-headed fly to judge its location.
He waved the dagger and slashed at the opponent fiercely.
It's a pity that the deformed fat-headed fly moves too fast.
And the strength is far a hundred times stronger than that of a weak woman like her.
With just one blow, the dagger in her hand flew out.
The sharp mouthpart was like a spear, stabbing straight towards Wen Fuyao's chest.
In the flash of lightning, Wen Fuyao hurriedly grasped the mouthpart covered with fine thorns.
Even though his palm was bleeding profusely from being pricked by tiny thorns and the pain was excruciating, Wen Fuyao didn't dare to let go at all.
If she relaxed a little at this time, the mouthpart could stab her to death directly.
The other fat-headed fly was a warning...
Just as Wen Fuyao watched the mouthparts approaching his body little by little, his heart was filled with despair.
Wen Fuyao burst out with a huge force from nowhere, and suddenly broke the slender mouthparts directly.
In shock, Wen Fuyao thrust back his hand and directly pierced the head of the deformed fat-headed fly with his mouthpart.
With blood spattering, the fat-headed fly struggled for a while and finally stopped.
Wen Fuyao lay on the ground with lingering fear, breathing heavily, feeling the severe pain coming from his palms.
Wen Fuyao, who had narrowly escaped death, had no time to rejoice, and hurriedly asked Xu Ke:
"Exian, why did I suddenly have a strange power just now?"
I just heard about the power that Fuyao possesses. Naturally, Xu Ke has transformed all the development points into power.
Now Wen Fuyao's strength is approximately equal to that of two adult men combined.
Of course, this also exhausted all the development points Wen Fuyao had accumulated before.
Although Xu Ke feels that these pioneering points should be left to deal with more complex and changeable nightmares.
But now that Fuyao was about to die, Xu Ke had no choice but to act haphazardly.
