I'm Immortal Speed Pass Supernatural Game

#205 - Isn't it fate? Here you go!

Dong, dong, dong—

The two walked one in front of the other.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the narrow passage, making people feel uneasy.

There was almost no light around, and they could only vaguely discern the direction by the faint fluorescent light that flickered on the stones for some reason.

They walked for about two minutes.

Wu Wang's sense of the body told him that he had come at least tens of meters underground.

Only then did the front suddenly open up and light appear.

What caught the eye was a magnificent and spectacular pavilion.

That's right!

There really was a pavilion underground!

The area must be at least two hundred square meters.

A medicine furnace far exceeding the height of a normal person stood in the center.

Wu Wang couldn't see the top even if he jumped up.

Perhaps only a prince with a height of more than two meters could hope to see it by jumping up.

Not only that, but the surrounding walls were all inlaid with a large number of cabinets.

Most of them were labeled with wooden signs.

"Angelica, Polygonum multiflorum, Epimedium, Polygonatum, Dendrobium, Velvet antler..."

Wu Wang glanced over.

The cabinets seemed to be full of names of Chinese herbal medicines.

Looking at the number of cabinets in the underground secret room covering the walls, it is estimated that even the pharmacies outside would rarely have such a scale of Chinese herbal medicine types, right?

Buddy, is your family an opera troupe or a pharmacy?

"This is the place where the Five-Colored Higan Flower is refined.

The medicine furnace in the pavilion is ready, and you can take whatever herbs you want."

The troupe leader said calmly, "This way, you don't have to leave the courtyard."

Wu Wang's heart sank when he heard this.

Sure enough, the instance wouldn't let the players leave the Pear Garden so easily.

Even the situation where the prince would let the players go out to buy medicine was taken into consideration.

The variety of Chinese medicine here is so complete that there is no need to purchase it outside.

Then, the troupe leader walked to a wall.

The cabinets on this wall were not labeled with any wooden signs, but instead were engraved with some insect-like marks, densely packed and making people confused.

The troupe leader opened one of the cabinets.

He took out a ceramic medicine jar from it.

He carefully reached in and took out a black pill with a hint of dark green.

He handed it to Wu Wang and said with a smile, "Eat it."

Wu Wang: "?"

Buddy, do you want to hear what you are saying?

If I reach into my crotch now, take out a dark black 'Kick Your Legs and Stare' pill and tell you to eat it.

Would you eat it?

Seeing that Wu Wang didn't respond, the troupe leader raised his eyebrows and said:

"Now that you have seen these things, I must ensure that you will not reveal them."

"This is a Gu medicine that the prince gave me before."

"Only if you eat it can I consider you to have truly agreed."

Wu Wang could understand this.

He showed a helpless expression, took the pill, raised his head, and reluctantly swallowed it.

A strong earthy smell came from his mouth, and he could vaguely feel a strange heat gushing out from his abdomen and flowing through his body.

He couldn't help but ask, "Could this be the kind of thing in those storybooks, where you need to take an antidote regularly to suppress the toxicity, and if you betray you, you will die from the poison if you don't take the medicine for a long time?

"Aren't you afraid that I will find the antidote in advance or not completely swallow the poison, and then try to spit it out, and create a classic 'Mission: Impossible' plot?"

Troupe leader: "?"

What is this kid babbling about?

I've already told you everything, what am I supposed to say?

But he could still understand Wu Wang's meaning, and smiled disdainfully: "Although I don't know what 'Mission: Impossible' is, this is not something that can be dealt with by an antidote."

With that, he turned the ceramic medicine jar over.

After shaking it for a while, a dark green centipede as thick as a thumb and nearly the length of a forearm fell out.

He reached out from another cabinet and grabbed a fist-sized mouse.

He threw it in front of the centipede.

In just a moment, the centipede pounced on the mouse and bit its leg.

The intense pain made the mouse couldn't help but scream and frantically stir its legs, trying to escape.

But it had just stood up and taken half a step forward when it directly stiffened its limbs and fell to the ground without moving.

Its whole body began to glow with a dark green luster, and then it dissolved in front of Wu Wang in an extremely disgusting way, turning into a pool of stinky corpse water and a skeleton.

Wu Wang squatted down and looked at the centipede on the ground with great interest.

Obviously, this is not a creature that exists in reality.

Normal biological toxins are usually proteins that interfere with the function of other macromolecules in living organisms.

Living organisms need energy to produce these proteins, and they also need to have a certain resistance.

Turning flesh and blood into corpse water in a few seconds, corroding it until only the skeleton remains.

You can't expect a centipede to have half a bucket of strong acid in its stomach and play COSPLAY with you here, right?

Do you really think you're acting in Alien?

Pa—

The troupe leader stomped the centipede into an insect cake before Wu Wang could observe it carefully.

Then he said lightly: "Don't be so curious, you have a lot in your stomach too."

"The pill just now contained its eggs, which can hatch about ten [Corpse-Eating Demon] larvae."

"From today onwards, I will suppress it for you once a day so that the eggs will not hatch."

"On the day the Five-Colored Higan Flower is successfully refined, I will help you take it out."

"But if you betray me, then wait to be turned into a skeleton."

With that, seven familiar actor ghost shadows appeared behind him.

Some of them went to open the medicine furnace, some went to the corner to pick up cleaning tools to dispose of the corpse water and skeleton on the ground, and some also came to Wu Wang with wooden buckets containing medicine residue and waste.

The ghost shadow gently pressed its hand on Wu Wang's abdomen.

A cold aura entered his body through his clothes and skin.

After a while, the heat in his abdomen gradually calmed down.

"Oh?

I thought you were going to vomit something dirty when I saw your complexion was not good just now, but I didn't expect you to be able to hold it back?"

The troupe leader was a little surprised that Wu Wang didn't react at all after knowing that the pill he ate was actually insect eggs.

But unexpectedly, this kid rolled his eyes and said: "When I went to Kunming to eat the Hundred Insect Banquet back then, what haven't I seen?

Can a centipede scare me?"

At worst, I'll just die for it to see.

Of course, Wu Wang would never say this.

The troupe leader looked at him with a strange expression.

This guy's performance in the past few days has been too strange, and he's been talking about words that he doesn't understand.

But since Wu Wang had already eaten the pill, and the ghost shadow had also detected that the pill was indeed in his abdomen when it went to suppress it just now.

He wasn't too worried.

This was just an insurance anyway, and Bai Sha would probably not betray him.

After all, he also needs the Five-Colored Higan Flower to open the Road to the Underworld and rebuild the Naihe Bridge, so that he can bring his beloved back from the Gates of Hell.

He had already investigated these things.

The troupe leader didn't know.

Wu Wang dared to eat that thing, not because of loyalty or anything.

But because he was really not afraid of death.

What's it like to be turned into corpse water?

Even if you grind his bones into ashes, it's useless.

Isn't it just life?

Here you go!

"Okay, hurry up and refine the medicine.

If you can offer it to the prince before tonight, and please him, he might give you some rewards."

"This is a great favor to you commoners."

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Wu Wang's eyes.
