Chapter 399 Human-faced Spider

The corridor was extremely dark, and the cold air penetrated Su Xi's muscles and bones, making him tremble as he walked in the cold corridor.

Su Xi could even feel the cold air rising up along the soles of his feet.

"Sir, where are we going?"

Su Xi said with a trembling voice, this kind of coldness really made him feel like his soul was frozen.

It is said that this is Yin energy.

"Since I'm here, I naturally want to meet the tomb owner."

Wen Zhengming walked slowly in the corridor, his voice sounding calmly.

"After all, the owner of this tomb is also a very interesting existence. He can't be said to be dead, and he can't be said to be alive either. This is the real living dead. There are not many such people in the human world."

Tomb owner?

So the zombies and strange creatures just now are not the real owners of this cemetery?

Su Xi's muscles were trembling, but his brain was working rapidly.

The person who can allow such a strange creature to guard the tomb must be an extremely terrifying being, the owner of the tomb.

But what shocked Su Xi even more was that according to the gentleman next to him, the owner of the tomb was not dead?

But if he is not dead, why is he in this tomb?

"The living dead?"

Su Xi felt that in these few hours, he had seen countless existences beyond his imagination.

"Yes, the living dead."

Wen Zhengming's voice sounded calmly and rhythmically, along with the steady footsteps.

"In this world, there is a plant called Huangquan Flower. It grows in places beyond Huangquan and in the human world where the Yin energy is extremely dense. It is a very rare plant."

"If someone takes this Yellow Spring Flower, they will transform into a monster that is neither alive nor dead, becoming the third kind of existence between life and death - the living dead."

"They will not be taken to the netherworld by the ghost messengers, nor will they be accepted by the people of the world. They can only be buried in the ground in a cemetery. Most of them will breed evil spirits and eventually turn into monsters."

"But the tomb owner has not yet turned into a monster."

Su Xi opened his mouth, looking into the dark and cold tunnel, and said:

"The living dead? Living in this tomb for hundreds of years?"

"Hundreds of years?"

Wen Zhengming shook his head, seeming to find Su Xi's answer somewhat interesting.

"The owner of this tomb is at least a thousand years old."

A thousand years?

Su Xi raised his head, eyes full of disbelief, and said, "Living in this kind of environment for a thousand years, wouldn't it be better to die?"

Su Xi couldn't imagine what it would be like if he lived in such a cemetery for a thousand years.

This kind of longevity is worse than death.

Wen Zhengming's steps remained steady, as if nothing in the world could affect him.

"For you, it is better to die than to live like this."

"But for the existence in this cemetery, this may not be the case."

"For some people, being alive is more important than anything else in this world."

"No matter what form it takes to be alive."

"In any form?"

Su Xi murmured to himself, he couldn't imagine this craze for immortality.

This kind of immortality is not an option for Su Xi at all. For him, living like this is worse than death.

After thinking for a moment, Su Xi paused and said:

“I cannot accept this way of living.”

"It is better to die than to live in humiliation."

Wen Zhengming glanced at him when he heard this. He could see that Su Xi was sincere in what he said.

In fact, when one reaches his level, no one in the world can lie to him.

"Then you'll have one less way to live forever."

"It's okay if it's less. Everyone has their own choice."

Su Xi huddled into a ball in the chilly cold air, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

At least Su Xi definitely doesn't want to live forever like this at this moment. To him, living underground for a thousand years is worse than death.

Just as Su Xi opened his mouth to speak, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him in the dark corridor.

The footsteps were dull and noisy, but gradually got closer and closer to him.

The sound of footsteps made Su Xixin nervous.

In this strange corridor, anything is possible, and no matter how creepy the thing is, it is normal, so Su Xi is extremely sensitive to these sounds.

"Is there something coming from behind?" Su Xi couldn't help but ask.

Wen Zhengming did not pause for a moment and said calmly, "This is nothing. These are your three friends."

Su Xi was a little surprised when he heard this: "They didn't leave?"

In Su Xi's opinion, Huang Shiren and others should have gone out by now.

After all, although the ten-zhang-high cliff was almost insurmountable for Su Xi, it was not a difficult task even in the eyes of the injured Huang Shiren.

What's more, when he left, Huang Shiren and others had already decided to leave.

How come he followed in again?

Wen Zhengming did not look back, but he seemed to see through what Su Xi was thinking.

"They just can't get out."

"Can't get out?"

Su Xi was stunned and asked in confusion.

But Wen Zhengming didn't seem to answer him, and just continued walking forward along the gloomy corridor.

The corridor is tilted and seems to lead to the depths of hell.

The further down you go, the wetter and colder it gets.

Su Xi did not stop but followed Wen Zhengming, but he was always paying attention to the footsteps behind him.

He could clearly feel the footsteps getting closer.

But a moment later, a voice sounded in the dark corridor.

"Brother Su?"

In Huang Shiren's field of vision, a figure was curled up and walking in the dark corridor. He was not sure whether it was Su Xi. After all, whatever happened in this place was normal.

Even if it is Su Xi, whether it is Su Xi himself is also a question.

Weirdness and unpredictability are the norm in the world of extraordinary people.

And in this kind of strange tomb, it is the norm among the norms.

Even though Li Xiao and Wang Cheng only had a little strength left, they became alert.

If I encounter a strange existence again in this dark corridor.

They were really not sure they could get out.

"Brother Huang?"

In Huang Shiren's field of vision, the dark and somewhat hunched figure turned around and said.

Huang Shiren saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of him. It was Su Xi.

"It's really you. I'm really afraid that I'll encounter something weird here again."

Huang Shiren couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said.

But he still looked at Su Xi carefully, because sometimes what you see is not necessarily true.

Especially in this weird place.

Even if it looks like Su Xi, it is possible that it is not Su Xi.

While looking at it, Huang Shiren explained:

"After you left, we found that the outside had been sealed by a formation and we couldn't get out, so we had no choice but to follow you."

"Has it been sealed by the formation?"

Su Xi frowned, then slowly said: "Actually, you might as well stay where you are."

At least in Su Xi's opinion, if Huang Shiren and others had not caught up, the probability of survival would still be very high.

But it is not certain whether you can keep up.

The gentleman is now going to see the owner of the cemetery, a monster who has lived for more than a thousand years. In front of such a monster, Huang Shiren may not be able to survive.

That is the biggest danger in this cemetery.

Huang Shiren smiled when he heard this and said, "We can't just surrender without a fight."

"Give up?"

Su Xi shook his head. He couldn't possibly say everything. He could only sigh and say:

"Come along if you want!"

Su Xi didn't say much, and he didn't want to persuade the three people to leave. After all, the gentleman obviously didn't want people to know his existence.

In the pitch-black corridor, you can't see your hand in front of you.

Huang Shiren looked at Su Xi in front of him, and he always had a feeling that Su Xi seemed to have discovered something.

But Su Xi didn't seem to want to tell him this.

Huang Shiren couldn't tell whether it was because the Su Xi in front of him was fake that made him feel this way.

But at this moment he could only follow, after all, he had no confidence to take action at all.

In the dark corridor, except Su Xi, the other three people remained vigilant at all times.

Because they were not sure whether the Su Xi in front of them was real.

After walking for about half an hour, everyone finally walked out of the corridor.

At this moment, everyone's vision suddenly brightened.

At the end of the corridor, a row of faint green lights lit up.

Su Xi couldn't help swallowing. He felt that after the green light was turned on, the cemetery became more and more eerie.

It's like a will-o'-the-wisp.

The dim green light illuminated the pale stone wall, revealing a huge underground building.

This is a huge underground palace.

Su Xi had never imagined that there would be such a large building underground. The scale of this palace was no less than that of the palaces on earth.

Huang Shiren smiled bitterly at this time.

"If I had known that there was such a large underground palace, I would not have come here."

"I had planned everything, but I didn't expect that this zombie coffin was just the entrance to the underground palace."

"An underground palace of this size is definitely not something that ordinary people can enjoy. It seems that we will be buried here forever today and guard the tomb for the owner of this tomb."

"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe there is still hope."

Su Xi held the rusty dagger in his hand and looked carefully into the distance.

He knew much more than the three of them, and as long as that gentleman was willing to take action, there might be a chance.

Although Su Xi didn't know how strong that gentleman was, he knew that he was definitely able to get out.

At least the person who walked here was still strolling leisurely.

"Is there hope?"

Huang Shiren looked at Su Xi and said in surprise:

"Brother Su seems to have some tricks up his sleeve!"

Su Xi smiled bitterly. He was just an ordinary mortal. How could he have any unused means? Since he entered this pit, he had been fighting with all his might.

Su Xi didn't even know how Huang Shiren could tell that he wasn't trying his best.

But he knew that there were more than four of them entering the pit this time, but he couldn't say that.

"Some things cannot be said."

After Su Xi finished speaking, he continued to move forward and caught up with the voice of Wen Zhengming in front.

Huang Shiren and the others looked at each other and then followed.

At this moment, a chaotic sound came from the huge underground palace, like footsteps, or like something crawling.

This sound made them even more horrified.

According to rumors, the cemeteries of this mythical era often contain unspeakable strange existences.

Anyone who enters there will not be able to leave the cemetery once they see these beings.

Although Huang Shiren had not seen much except zombies, he had heard such words so many times that how could he not be horrified?

The more I understand, the more I fear.

The more you know, the less you dare.

Huang Shiren felt that he might see those strange creatures today.

"We may really gain some knowledge today, but I don't know if we can bring this information out."

As soon as Huang Shiren finished speaking, the strange sound became more and more frequent, as if there were tens of millions of arms rubbing against the walls of the underground palace.

Su Xi's hand holding the rusty dagger had turned pale, and his hand was even shaking.

Because it was too cold.

And at this moment, spider-like creatures crawled out from the darkness.

The next moment, Su Xi's pupils shrank.

Because he saw clearly what these figures were. They were people with eight hands, but their arms were exactly like spiders, long and slender and divided into many segments.

There was pure white in their eyes, and they didn't look like humans at all.

But they have a human face.

This presence made Su Xi's heartbeat slow down by half a second.

"A spider with a human face?"

Huang Shiren's voice rang out.

Su Xi suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you know him?"

Huang Shiren said: "I've only heard of it, but this is the first time I've seen it."

"This is a kind of monster that lives in a place with extremely strong yin energy. According to legend, they will be bred from the bodies of people who died here, and finally emerge from the broken bodies."

"During this process, they will completely inherit the facial features of the corpse."

"It's hard to say they are human, but they look very much like humans."

"More importantly, this is a monster that is equivalent to the third stage of the ultimate level. At this moment, there are so many of them in front of us that we can hardly see the end."

"It seems that we are bound to die here today."

Huang Shiren seemed to be a little desperate because he had no idea how many monsters were in this cemetery.

The human-faced spiders quickly surrounded Su Xi and the others who had woken them up.

But at this time, Huang Shiren noticed that these strange spiders seemed to be afraid of something, and there was even a look of fear on the dead face.

"They seem to be afraid of something."

"Are you afraid of something?"

Su Xi raised his head and looked at the figure in front of him.

Only Su Xi knew what they were afraid of. It was obvious that they were afraid of the black figure in front of him.

Every time the gentleman took a step forward, the human-faced spiders would take a step back.

It's like an instinctive fear.

Is this the powerful person in the world of extraordinary people?

Even these underground monsters are afraid.
