Chapter 20: There is no way out

Putting down the notes of the High Priest Nue, Su Xiao looked thoughtful. According to his guess, Luyang Continent should be a certain native world, and the High Priest Nue came from there.

The void is not the only place chosen for the game participants in the House of Death. As for the 'desecration of death' mentioned in the notes, there are too few clues to get the answer.

The high priest Nue is the dead in the house of death. The dead are not dead, they are also alive.

This wooden house has had many visitors. In the beginning, the high priest Nue had friendly negotiations with these people, exchanging knowledge, etc. One person even became his friend. That person took a huge risk before leaving the death house.

Return here and visit the high priest Nue for the last time.

Unfortunately, the friendly negotiations did not last long. When he learned that he could leave the cabin after obtaining the Shadow Stone, the high priest Nue began to trap and kill the visitors.

As soon as he killed the first person, the high priest Nue was handcuffed by the iron shackles on the wooden wall around his neck. At that time, the iron chains were still very long and he could move freely in the room.

As the high priest Nuai killed more and more visitors, the chain that imprisoned him became shorter and shorter. Until Su Xiao came, the chain was only three meters long.

Killing the visitor will not only shorten the chain, but what is even more terrifying is the loss of intelligence. In the middle and late stages, the high priest Nue has forgotten who he is. The strange thing is that he still remembers the knowledge in his head and the sentence "really corrupted"

.

Su Xiao had previously wondered why the High Priest Nue was so stupid. There were many loopholes in his door opening and closing strategy, but the High Priest Nue was like a boss with a bug. He suppressed his abilities after closing the door, and reopened after opening the door.

savings.

High Priest Nue's abilities are similar to those of the Necromancer. Most of his abilities require energy accumulation, which is commonly known as 'reading'.

What's funny is that as soon as Bu Bu Wang closed the door, this guy stopped "reading the note" and started "reading the note" again as soon as he opened the door. As a result, after Su Xiao killed him, he thought he was pretending to be dead.

Restricting the scope of action is already hopeless enough, but using intelligence to do so is even more terrifying.

What's even more 'horrifying' is that the deceased named Nue was very poor. This guy didn't record the knowledge in his mind, and the books on the bookshelf were all biographies and of little value.

The candlelight flickered, and Su Xiao looked at the candlestick. The candle on it was burning with a small flame. When he came to the candlestick, he touched the candle with his index finger.

【You get ‘White Fat Wax’.】

[Tip: White wax can be used for lighting for more than 90 years. If you use it to dispel the 'dark fog', it will accelerate the ignition and melting speed. The time limit is 20 minutes. 】

Su Xiao pulled out the white wax from the candlestick and blew it out. In just a moment, the wooden house fell into darkness, so dark that it was impossible to see even one's fingers.

"Ooooo!"

Bubuwang howled miserably.

"You're not blind."

"Woof?"

Under Bu Buwang's doubtful gaze, Su Xiao lit the white wax in her hand, and the darkness was quickly dispelled.

Su Xiao walked out of the wooden house. As soon as he went out, the door slowly closed, making a hard friction sound.

The wall of black mist surged, and the wooden door above was gradually swallowed up, and finally disappeared completely.

Su Xiao stood in front of the black mist wall. Not far in front of him, space fluctuations appeared, and a wooden house appeared, which was the one he was in just now.

There is a faint black mist floating over this wooden house, which is the only difference between it and other wooden houses.

Looking around, there are at least hundreds of wooden houses in the open space ahead. There is no need to say more about what this represents.

There shouldn't be too many dead people in the Death House now, but the Death House has existed for too long. During this period, I don't know how many dead people died here. The wooden houses they lived in during their lifetimes will appear in this open space. Over time, there are only so many.

Su Xiao had previously learned a piece of information from the Shadow Stone's information. There were two types of dead, those that could be negotiated and those that could not.

The dead who can be negotiated should be those who do not have iron chains around their necks and have not killed death game participants. Those with iron chains around their necks have killed death game participants. The shorter the chains, the more people they have killed.

many.

It is unknown whether all the dead who cannot be negotiated have been reduced to intelligence. The strength of the high priest Nuai could only be considered acceptable. Even if he was not bound by chains, Su Xiao could still deal with it.

The wooden houses ahead are not worth exploring. These wooden houses have been looted many times by other participants in the death game. Searching here is a waste of time.

Su Xiao glanced at the white fat wax in her hand, thought for a moment, and then brought the white fat wax close to the black mist wall.

As soon as the white fat wax approached the black fog wall, a small area of ​​black fog was dispersed, forming a channel two meters high, one meter wide, and less than half a meter deep.

A drop of wax oil drips from the white wax, and the burning and melting speed of the white wax is accelerated.

If he wants to continue exploring, white wax is a necessity. Su Xiao's guess is that there should be other wooden houses in the black mist. He needs to disperse the black mist and search inside the black mist.

Su Xiao blew out the white wax in her hand. There were three walls of black mist in this area. There were black mist walls in front, left and right, and there was a gray mist wall in the rear.

Su Xiao is not ready to go deep into the black mist for the time being. He wants to search to see if he can find another wooden door from the black mist wall to obtain the second piece of white wax.

Traveling between the wooden houses, Su Xiao ran at full speed and encountered no danger along the way. She arrived in front of the black mist wall on the left side of the wooden house area.

When the white fat wax was lit, something strange happened. The black mist was not dispersed. The white fat wax went out as soon as it got close to the black mist wall.

Seeing this, Su Xiao went straight to the black mist wall on the right side of the wooden house area. Although it was a waste of time, he was already the last one to head into the black mist, so he didn't lose any time.

After some experiments, Su Xiao discovered that the black fog walls on the left and right sides could not be dispelled with white wax. As for the gray fog wall returning to the banquet hall, it had been blocked at this time.

The black mist above cannot be dispelled either. The only thing that can be dispelled is the wall of black mist in front of the wooden house area.

Returning to the black fog wall ahead, Su Xiao began to patrol along the black fog wall. Soon, he found three wooden houses where the black fog was still drifting.

Bubo Wang began to track the smell, breath, footprints, etc., and soon found the directions where Mond, Nita and others entered the black fog wall. Dilin was more cautious and covered up the traces left by them.

Su Xiao was not prepared to track other participants. He chose a section of the black mist wall that no one had entered, lit the white fat wax, and the black mist in front was dispersed, and a passage appeared.

Su Xiao held the white fat wax in front of her and started to move forward. Bubu Wang followed behind him, while Baha walked at the back with a sly pace. Flying and walking were completely two extremes.

When he flies, he is the overlord of the sky. When he runs, he is like a vulture that has just stolen a bird's egg. His pace is as aggressive as he wants.

The black mist in front was dispersed by the white wax in Su Xiao's hand. Because the black mist was not dispelled quickly, Su Xiao could only walk. Once he accelerated, he would immediately crash into the black mist.

Su Xiao held a wooden board in his hand, which he removed from a wooden house. This wooden board is quite strong, with a hardness no less than that of metal, and still retains the toughness of wood.

Throw the board into the black mist beside you.

hiss……

The wooden board cracked quickly, and a black-purple liquid appeared on it, eventually eroding the wooden board into slag and dissipating.

Seeing this, Su Xiao continued to move forward, but as soon as he moved forward more than ten meters, the black fog slowly gathered behind him, sealing the rear.

Going deep into the black fog, there is no turning back. You can only move forward. Going back will waste the white fat wax. Without the white fat wax to open the way, Su Xiao will stop in the second round of the battle between the strong.

But if he keeps moving forward, when the white fat wax burns out, Su Xiao will be eroded by the black mist. By then, the probability of him surviving is extremely slim.
