Chapter 136 The Tenth Dungeon
Before they knew it, the sky had completely darkened, and everyone had only oil lamps in their hands for lighting.
But the style of this oil lamp is very simple, and it relies entirely on the candles inside for lighting. The light is very dim, and it can only illuminate the area of half a meter around itself. And if the wind is a little stronger, it will even make people suspect that the candle will go out.
Everyone knows the importance of this oil lamp. After all, in this dungeon, this oil lamp is an indispensable prop. Not only can it keep those ghosts away from themselves, but more importantly, only this oil lamp can reflect where there are God's tokens in this building.
Although they don't know exactly how to get the special treatment of the gods in this dungeon, as long as they use their brains to think about it, they will think that the gods will definitely reward the most pious people among all people.
This is equivalent to only those who have collected the most tokens can get privileges as the most pious believers, which makes many players already eager to move. They came here just to get power.
At the moment when the yin energy in the house was the strongest, everyone understood that everything had begun.
The decoration in this hall suddenly became simple and quaint. Everywhere they saw gave people a strange feeling, making them feel as if they had traveled back to the building a hundred years ago. The
weird thing is that the roads that originally led to other places have been disrupted, with forks leading to various places, and no one knows where these forks lead to.
Everyone naturally did not communicate with others, but walked towards the entrance they chose. In order to avoid conflict, no one chose the same entrance.
Although Rong Qingman was very worried about Gu Wuji, in the current situation, he could not stay in the hall to continue waiting for Gu Wuji. There is also an unspoken rule in this house that staying in one place for more than five minutes will attract more powerful ghosts.
"Hey, if I had known that I would have told him all the important things about this copy on the ship, I thought I would have time later, but who knew that Felicia would..." Rong Qingman couldn't help but sigh, feeling a strong regret in his heart.
All of them had studied this dungeon for a long time and investigated a lot of information, so they knew the default rules in the dungeon. But Gu Wuji came in without knowing anything...
"I hope he can hide in a safe room now and come out at dawn, otherwise staying in this building without an oil lamp is no different from seeking death." Rong Qingman could only hope so.
The ghosts in this dungeon are definitely not easy to deal with... Although there are also a large number of low-level ghosts that can be easily dealt with, if the low-level ghosts are killed, higher-level ghosts will be attracted.
Those are ghosts that were once transformed by devout believers, and they can even use some of the power of the gods in this world. If you encounter them, you will definitely die unless you are favored by the gods.
——Gu
Wuji continued to walk in the building. It was pitch black around him. If it weren't for the fact that his physical fitness had improved after experiencing so many dungeons, he could hardly see the road around him.
The man and the ghost also encountered some low-level monsters on the road, all of which were derived from the existence of too much resentment. These were all solved neatly by Gu Wuji with a kitchen knife.
The ghost regarded this scene as a threat, and was so scared that his body almost trembled, thinking what kind of terrible person he had encountered!
In fact, Gu Wuji felt that he was quite friendly, because the system only required him to be indifferent to people, so it was okay to be friendly to ghosts.
But because he had gone through so many copies, the sense of decisiveness that he unconsciously revealed when killing monsters had made other ghosts feel afraid.
"What's going on? Why haven't you reached the hall after walking for so long?" Gu Wuji felt that it had been too long.
The ghost next to him was afraid that Gu Wuji would do something to him on impulse, and hurriedly said: "This is because this building will change after dark. It can be said that it has become a strange space. Of course, it is difficult to walk out. Don't get excited."
In fact, what it said was true, but the ghost had other ideas. When it was outside, it had long realized that there were some extremely terrible beings in this building. Now that it can't deal with this terrible human, other beings can definitely kill him.
The ghost felt physically and mentally happy when he thought of the scene of Gu Wuji being defeated. Only such a scene could heal his psychological trauma caused by Gu Wuji.
In short, the man and the ghost walked forward, and Gu Wuji suddenly felt a strong yin energy coming, as if he had walked into a busy hall in an instant. Four or five low-level ghosts in maid outfits suddenly appeared around him.
They all looked like skeletons, and only their clothes could reveal their gender. They all walked around numbly, and after realizing that there was a living person here, they rushed over here with shining eyes.
"What poor ghosts, it seems they have been imprisoned here for many years." Gu Wuji shook his head and tried to purify them, but found that it didn't work.
There is no doubt that the ghosts in this building are just like the ghosts on the ghost cruise ship. They have long been a cursed whole, not a separate existence that can be purified.
"Then there is no way." Gu Wuji immediately used the ghost control technique on the maid.
Because his ghost control technique was advanced enough, the maids who originally acted on instinct immediately stood behind Gu Wuji respectfully, as if waiting for his orders.
"Okay, now I have someone else to lead the way." Gu Wuji looked at the ghost on the side, "You can go now."
The ghost looked at Gu Wuji in disbelief. He didn't expect that this man who was like a devil in his heart would let him go so easily.
But it suddenly thought that if a ghost like itself wanted to turn around and leave, it would encounter a lot of trouble. It might as well sacrifice this human to cling to the thigh of the senior ghost. It immediately said firmly, "No, since I want to help you lead the way, I must lead you to the end!"
Gu Wuji was surprised that this ghost was so dedicated. This made Gu Wuji feel a sense of mutual appreciation among the same kind. He immediately dismissed the ghosts of the maids and said, "Then let's continue walking."
They continued to move forward and turned the corner. Gu Wuji heard a crying sound and a faint light.
He turned his head and saw a little girl sitting in the corner crying. There was an oil lamp at her feet, which faintly illuminated a painting hanging on the wall.
"It's a human?" Unexpectedly, Gu Wuji did not feel the yin energy on the little girl, but felt the vitality that only humans have. But why were there no ghosts around her?
Anyway, Gu Wuji led the ghost forward, but when they were at a certain distance, the ghost behind him didn't dare to approach at all.
"So that's why, it's because of the oil lamp." Gu Wuji had noticed it when he heard the ghost say it before, but he didn't expect the oil lamp to be so powerful.
"Why are you staying here?" Gu Wuji saw the little girl's silver-gray hair and pale skin at such a close distance. It looked like Felicia's relative, could it be his sister?
Although he was treating the little girl, and Gu Wuji wanted to help her in his heart, but in order to fit his character, his tone was still cold.
"Woo woo..." The little girl raised her head in fear, and when she saw Gu Wuji, she stopped crying and said, "Big brother, I'm lost, can you take me back to the bedroom?"
"Yes, but what can you do for me?" Gu Wuji was still trying to create his indifferent character, "After all, I won't help useless people."
"I, I..." The little girl was a little confused. She didn't expect someone to ask her this question, and she cried again out of fear.
"Don't cry, or I'll throw you to the ghosts." Gu Wuji said coldly, and the little girl immediately shut up.
The ghosts behind were shocked. This human was so vicious! He was so cruel to a little girl. Did he say that he would let me go just to test me? If I really leave, I might be killed by this man!
Thinking of this, the ghost was scared and began to praise his wit.
"Humph." Gu Wuji picked her up and picked up the oil lamp next to him. "If it weren't for the fact that you might have a relationship with the young master, I wouldn't do it."
He found that the oil lamp was about to burn out. He held the lamp and reflected the painting on the wall. It was a portrait of a noble young man, who was very similar to Felicia. It can be seen that they are related by blood.
But this noble young man looked mentally ill, like a fanatical believer of the evil god.
"Where do you live?" Gu Wuji asked the little girl.
"I don't know either." The little girl was frightened by Gu Wuji and said, "I just wanted to find my mother, so I ran out, but my mother's shadow disappeared... Then I came here..."
[Trigger side quest: Go home.]
The name of the side quest is very concise. Gu Wuji couldn't find any clues from it, and the little girl might be too young, so her words were not very clear.
Gu Wuji looked at the ghost hiding outside the light source, "Do you have any ideas?"
If he had known, he would not have dismissed the ghosts of the maids just now. If they were there, he would not be so helpless now.
"I, I..." The ghost hid behind and suddenly raised his voice, "In front of you!!"
Gu Wuji didn't quite understand what he said, but when he turned around, he saw that in the light of the oil lamp reflecting on the portrait, a twisted black shadow suddenly appeared. The figure looked like a female ghost and was not afraid of the light of the oil lamp in front of him.
The ghost hiding in the back was so happy that he didn't expect a high-level ghost to appear so soon. Now this human must be dead soon.
The female ghost looked at Gu Wuji with cold eyes. A dark shadow suddenly extended from the portrait. The oil lamp flickered under the light, as if it would be completely extinguished in the next moment. At that time, the female ghost would start to attack. The
little girl had fainted because she was too frightened at this time.
Gu Wuji looked at the female ghost in front of him, thinking about whether he could negotiate with her. But the female ghost's momentum of fighting to the death seemed difficult to deal with. He had secretly taken out his pocket watch and was ready to run away when he saw that the situation was not good.
When the light finally dimmed completely and the female ghost was about to attack Gu Wuji, the evil god mark on Gu Wuji's hand suddenly became hot and emitted a faint light. When the female ghost noticed the light, she was stunned.
But all this happened in such a short time that Gu Wuji opened his pocket watch at the moment the mark started to heat up, and he didn't even notice the ghost girl's abnormality.
As for the heat of the evil god's mark, this thing always heats up from time to time, and Gu Wuji is used to it.
The golden light instantly illuminated everything around, and the ghost girl's figure seemed to be frozen. Gu Wuji threw away the oil lamp in his hand, and when he ran away, he did not forget to take the dazed ghost with him.
Ghost: "..." Damn
, what's wrong with this human? Even the high-level ghost didn't do anything to him! God knows that the ghost was already scared in his heart just now, and he didn't dare to have any contact with Gu Wuji again.
The question is why he was taken away by this human!
