Chapter 400 Tomb Master

Under the swaying dim green light, densely packed human-faced spiders raised their faces, and their countless white eyeballs stared coldly at everyone.

This scene is so weird and scary no matter how you look at it.

In particular, these human-faced spiders have human faces, but in essence they are extremely strange creatures, and their appearance hovers between distortion and normality.

The clothes on Huang Shiren's back had been completely soaked. The creature he had heard of in rumors actually appeared in front of him, and Huang Shiren couldn't remain calm at all.

In particular, these human-faced spiders were obviously afraid of something, as if there was some terrifying existence on their bodies that forced them to be afraid.

But Huang Shiren didn't think that there was anything about them that would make these human-faced spiders afraid.

Huang Shiren said with a pale face: "If they are really afraid of something, then it is very likely that there is something strange around us that we cannot see."

Is there an invisible strange existence around them?

Although they couldn't see it, these strange human-faced spiders were still frightened. Li Xiao and Wang Cheng felt goose bumps all over their bodies.

Extraordinary people are not afraid of ghosts, but they are afraid of those strange and incomprehensible horrors.

These terrors would scare even extraordinary people like a tiger.

The more you know, the more afraid you become.

Because there are countless strange existences in the world of extraordinary people.

Li Xiao moved his lips and said, "I really wish we hadn't come down now."

Wang Cheng agreed with Li Xiao and said, "It would be nice if all this was just a dream."

If everything was a dream, then as long as they woke up, they would not be trapped here again.

But there are no ifs. The cruelest thing about the world is that everything is real, irreversible and unchangeable.

This is naked despair.

Huang Shiren said coldly: "Everyone, come closer and take a look at the blank spaces around us left by the spiders to see what strange things are there."

There was one thing Huang Shiren didn't say, which was that he suspected that these human-faced spiders were afraid of Su Xi.

He even suspected that the Su Xi in front of him was not the Su Xi he had seen before, but was an illusion created by some strange existence in this terrifying underground palace.

Huang Shiren has heard many legends about this kind of strange things. It is said that in those strange pits, there are countless strange creatures that are rarely seen in the world, and some of these strange creatures can transform into human form.

They often transform themselves into people that people know.

And in this process, the most important thing to pay attention to is to never expose these strange existences.

If you don't expose them, they won't attack you directly, and may even eat you alive. But if you expose them, these strange creatures will go crazy in an instant.

It is said that the people who made these strange beings that can transform into human form appear are all dead.

So even though Huang Shiren had some doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud, and he didn't even dare to hint to Li Xiao and Wang Cheng.

He could only keep it all in his heart and dare not mention it.

Under the dim green flickering ghost fire, the entire underground palace appeared before everyone's eyes, with clearly distributed city walls on both sides of them, arranged in an orderly manner.

But maybe it would be better if there weren't those extremely weird beings standing there.

Huang Shiren kept telling himself not to look at those human-faced spiders, but he couldn't help but look up.

Because he felt that if he didn't keep his eyes on these strange human-faced spiders, they would pounce on him at any time and tear them to pieces.

Su Xi actually understood much more than Huang Shiren and the others. He didn't have so many thoughts because he knew what these human-faced spiders were afraid of.

What they fear is that gentleman, the most powerful person in the world of extraordinary beings.

Su Xi could see the panic of Huang Shiren and the others, and he slowly said:

"Actually... you just need to follow, and these human-faced spiders won't attack you. Um... they probably won't attack you."

After hearing Huang Shiren's guess, Su Xi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this middle-aged extraordinary person.

He actually guessed the existence of that gentleman. Even though he couldn't see the gentleman, he could be sure of it. Perhaps this was a kind of experience.

But he guessed wrong. These strange human-faced spiders were never afraid of any strange existence in the underground palace.

Instead, it was a terrifying extraordinary being who came in with them from outside.

Maybe even the entire cemetery is afraid of that gentleman.

"Shouldn't?"

Huang Shiren repeated this sentence silently in his heart when he heard it, and he became more and more panicked.

He became more and more certain that Su Xi was the mysterious existence in the underground palace.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know so much about the underground palace and would not be able to make such an affirmative statement.

Moreover, Su Xi outside was obviously not so hunched, but at this moment, Su Xi was almost curled up like a frozen shrimp.

This didn't seem like Su Xi at all, but more like the behavior of some decayed mummy.

The more Huang Shiren thought about it, the more likely this seemed to be the case.

Of course, Su Xi didn’t know what Huang Shiren was thinking, otherwise he would probably have just looked on coldly.

Is he hunching over on purpose?

He can't stand the cold, okay?

You vulgar transcendents have no idea how unsuitable this place is for a mortal to survive.

But Su Xi didn't know, so he didn't complain.

Huang Shiren was speechless. He had no idea what to say. Ever since he began to suspect that Su Xi was some strange being in the underground palace, he had no idea what to say.

If someone you are very familiar with is right next to you, and you know that he is some kind of weird monster, will you still communicate with him?

Most people won’t.

Huang Shiren wanted to communicate with Su Xi, but he had no idea what to say.

In the silent and eerie underground palace, apart from the sound of people's footsteps, there was the sound of the strange human-faced spiders moving.

In this weird atmosphere, Huang Shiren felt that every step he took was torture.

Step by step, until they reached the end of the underground palace, those pairs of pure white eyes were still staring at them.

However, Huang Shiren found that they had stopped, as if they sensed some kind of threat.

None of the human-faced spiders entered the new corridor at the end. Huang Shiren raised his head and said, "There may be something even more bizarre inside the entrance to this underground palace."

In fact, even if he didn't say it, Li Xiao and Wang Cheng had already guessed that these human-faced spiders would definitely attack them. The only thing that could allow them to suppress the desire to attack was a more terrifying existence.

At this time, Su Xi spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a living dead."

"A living dead who has eaten the Yellow Spring Grass is the owner of this cemetery."

After hearing this, Huang Shiren felt his heartbeat slow down by half a beat.

Is this no longer hidden?

Is this going to happen?

Could it be that this "Su Xi" is the mysterious existence in the underground palace?

Huang Shiren subconsciously looked at Su Xi, only to see that Su Xi's cheeks were stiff, and a weird smile appeared on that machine-like face.

It's that weird feeling that the body seems to be completely different from the original body and soul.

It was like pressing a completely unfamiliar soul into another body.

Huang Shiren felt his heartbeat slow down by half a second.

And at this moment, Li Xiao spoke.

"Su Xi...what are you doing?"

Li Xiao was also frightened by Su Xi's smile just now. He felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Su Xi in front of him.

Showing such a weird smile in a place like this is scary, it can scare people to death.

"I?"

"Do I have any problem?"

Su Xi touched his unusually stiff face. He could feel that his face was almost numb from the cold.

But he didn't feel anything was wrong.

At this moment, Huang Shiren immediately said:

"Su Xi is very normal, don't be surprised."

"Be careful for a while. There may be some unexpected and strange beings deep in this underground palace. They may disguise themselves as beings that we can't imagine at all."

Huang Shiren gave people the feeling that he was actively trying to change the subject, and this feeling made Li Xiao and Wang Cheng feel that something was wrong.

Li Xiao and Wang Cheng's doubts deepened after hearing this. Why did Su Xi show such a weird smile, but Huang Shiren didn't let them ask at all?

How can I think about this? It feels strange.

But Li Xiao and Wang Cheng didn't ask in the end. Li Xiao glanced at Su Xi and said, "Maybe I was dazzled and saw it wrong."

But Li Xiao's eyes changed when he looked at Su Xi. There was an unspeakable fear in the depths of his eyes.

The same thing happened to Wang Cheng, who seemed to have become a stranger in an instant.

"Did you see it wrong?"

Su Xi frowned. He always felt that the people in front of him seemed a little strange at this moment, but he couldn't tell what was strange about them.

Maybe I'm a little sensitive!

"Since I've made a mistake, let's just keep going. I hope I can get out of here alive!"

Su Xi turned around and followed Wen Zhengming into the corridor.

Huang Shiren and the other two exchanged glances for a moment, and finally followed.

Because they have no other choice.

This time the corridor was not pitch dark, but was lit with dim green lights.

The entire corridor seemed more formal than last time.

However, they became more cautious. The scale of this underground palace was far beyond their imagination. The larger the place, the more likely it was that unimaginable weirdness would exist.

After walking for an hour, when Su Xi felt that he was on the verge of freezing to death, an even more magnificent underground palace appeared in front of everyone.

Lanterns made from human heads floated in the air. The dim green light shone from the empty eyes and mouths, illuminating the entire void.

A staircase leads all the way up.

Human head lanterns surrounded the crowd, as if leading them up the stairs.

And in that huge underground palace, countless strange creatures stood in all directions.

Huang Shiren only took a glance around and saw countless strange creatures. Some of them looked like countless corpses made up of one another, with bloated and huge bodies.

Some strange existences are like a white mist, in which countless voices come and go, as if millions of people are constantly talking.

Some strange creatures are beasts that resemble humans but are not.

As Huang Shiren looked around, he even saw strange creatures such as paper figures.

However, these extremely strange creatures just watched them from afar and didn't seem to have any intention of taking action.

But this made Huang Shiren even more alert.

He became more and more certain that Su Xi might be the owner of this cemetery.

Only this can explain why this scene happened.

Those mysterious creatures that had only been heard of in legends were now right before their eyes, as if witnessing the return of the tomb's owner.

"Everyone, please be careful. We may have to stay here with the owner of the tomb today."

Huang Shiren's voice was extremely serious. He seemed to have seen that when he reached the end of the stairs, Su Xi would turn into that strange existence.

By then, none of them would survive.

But he had no other choice, either expose Su Xi now and die here, or wait until the end to die.

Even if there are 10,000 people choosing this option, 9,990 of them will choose the latter option.

If you can live a little longer, then live a little longer.

Li Xiao and Wang Cheng glanced at Huang Shiren and seemed ready to die.

Huang Shiren walked up the stairs without saying a word. There were a total of 99,999 steps until they reached the end.

A hoarse voice slowly sounded.

“Finally…someone is here!”

It seemed that the man had not spoken for a long time, and even when he spoke, there was a sense of incoherence in his voice.

"who?"

Huang Shiren suddenly raised his head, and in an instant the platform at the end of the stairs was instantly illuminated by human head lanterns.

In the center of the entire platform, a decayed "person" was looking up at them. His flesh and skin had completely dried up, revealing his white bones.

But even so, he still seemed not dead, and there was a trace of vitality lingering around his body.

This strange feeling between life and death reminded Huang Shiren of the living dead that Su Xi had mentioned before.

"You come to my grave and ask who I am?"

"Who are you?"

The withered "person" who looked like a corpse looked at everyone with his empty eyes and said coldly:

"Why are you breaking into my graveyard?"

"No one has been here for a long time. If your answers satisfy me, I can let you walk out of here alive."

"Or... did you see those on the road?"

"Those are the people who disturbed my eternal sleep. In the end, I made them into monsters. I think... you don't want to be one of them."

There seemed to be a lot of meaning in that hoarse voice, but the threat was not concealed at all.
