Dark!

Boundless darkness!

There is not a single bit of light. There is no trace of wind or any sound in the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info!

He seems to be the only one in the world!

Mu Gou stood up, the thick earth under his feet, but it didn't give him a sense of security.

Where is this?

No one can tell him!

He walked forward step by step. There were no stars, no trees, no rivers, no variegation, and he didn't know how to tell the direction.

He picked up a stone and made a mark, but when he took a step, he turned back and didn't even know where it was!

He walked constantly.

At some point, there was a little light ahead!

He was overjoyed, and walked up quickly, it was a huge lantern!

No!

It must have been a strange lantern! It had the appearance of a lantern, and its eyes, nose, and mouth! The light was a candle-like flame burning inside.

Mu Gou was shocked in his heart, and he hesitated a little.

It was unsettling to see such a strange picture in this strange place.

But he didn't know if he would have encountered anything else if he missed this time!

He was already hungry and felt like he hadn't eaten or drunk water in years!

Thinking of this, he didn't care about anything else, and walked to the lantern that was slowly floating in the air, "That... Are you a human or a ghost?"

The lantern did not answer, still floating silently.

"Can you hear me? Is there anyone here?"

Lantern suddenly turned his head and looked at Mu Gou, "People?"

Mu Gou suddenly noticed that there was a winding river in the eyes of the lantern, and something seemed to float in it, which looked like a dead person, which was very terrifying!

"Do you mean them?" said the lantern, the candlelight inside swaying sharply to the other side.

Mu Gou suddenly retreated in horror, and under the light of the candlelight, it turned out to be a dried corpse, wearing a robe, obviously not an ordinary hunter, at least they were all Gu masters or wealthy people.

Wait! The lantern is talking about them! Is there any other corpse besides this corpse?

Mu Gou was guided by the candlelight and walked to the side of the dry corpse.

This dried corpse is different from ordinary dried corpses, not only the clothes are still very well preserved, but even the skin is the same. If it weren't for the thick layer of dust accumulated on its body and the smell of decay, Mu Gou wouldn't necessarily think it was a dry corpse!

"Who is he, how did he die here, and where is this?" asked Mu Gou.

"This is here! He's human, just like you! Because he didn't find his way out, he starved to death!" Lantern replied to Mu Gou one by one.

Mu Gou was entangled in his heart, what is called this is here? It seems that this lantern is either deliberately concealed or does not understand anything!

However, there is a key point mentioned in it, and that is the way to leave!

"Can you tell me how to get out of here?"

The lantern said, "Take the boat!"

"Where do you sit on the boat?"

"You come with me!"

The lantern spoke, swaying in a certain direction.

Mu Gou followed behind him, vigilantly watching everything around him.

The candles inside the lantern could only shine at a distance of a few meters at most, so he could only see such a wide area.

After a while, Mu Gou suddenly saw a little light in front of him, and vaguely saw a large stone house, with a lantern floating under the eaves on the left and right, which also had human facial features.

Seeing Mu Gou and the lantern leading the way, the two lanterns immediately shouted, "Yo! There is another one! There are still two left!"

"Great! Great! quack!" the other lantern cheered, croaking loudly.

Mu Gou suddenly had an uneasy premonition in his heart. He has always been very confident in his instincts.

He stood outside the hut and watched the three lanterns talk sentence by sentence.

"How many humans have you brought here?" said the lantern with the wooden goo.

"I've brought two!" called the lantern on the left.

"I brought one!" said the lantern on the right, a little jealously.

"That's one more!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Quack!"

As he spoke, the lantern leading the way turned to Mu Gou and said, "Go into the hut!"

Mu Gou frowned slightly, and said, "Can you ask what's in the hut?"

"Hehe, sure enough, the humans who came in were very suspicious, didn't they know that this was the only way to the outside world!" The candlelight in the lantern on the right dimmed slightly, and a trace of gloomy aura swept out, as if they were very dissatisfied.

The lantern on the left side said earnestly: "He's right! This hut is the entrance to the outside world, and you can't get out of here without going in!"

The lantern who led the way also advised: "The dried corpses you saw along the way were too suspicious to believe us, so they chose to leave, and finally became dry corpses!

Seeing that Mu Gou was still hesitating, the candlelight in the lantern on the right flickered, shining into the thatched hut, and saw two or three figures sitting on a wooden table talking to each other.

"It's them!" Mu Gou looked slightly shocked.

"Now you can rest assured! You both came at the same time, and you must know each other, and they are all inside, don't you want to go in and have a look?" said the lantern who led the way.

"Alright then!" Mu Gou said.

The candles in the three lanterns flickered.

Tear and pull!

Suddenly, Mu Gou pulled the lantern in front of him, and with a sharp force, he directly tore it in half, revealing the candle flame inside!

Ahh

A scream rang out, and the candle flame danced and turned into a hideous face, "What are you doing? Let me go!

"Hehe!" was interrupted by Mu Gou before he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "I made a mistake in this area not long ago, and now I will definitely not be!

The face of the candle flame was about to say something, but he saw a sneer on Mu Gou's face, and ripped everything off the candle flame's body.

Each time a part of it was torn off, the candle flame let out a scream, and the light emitted was also dimmed, and by the time Mu Gou had finished tearing everything up, the whole candle flame had become very weak, as if it could be blown out with a single breath.

And Mu Gou did intend to do so, he took a deep breath, his cheeks bulging -

"No! don't! I say, I say!" the faint sound of the candle flame sounded.

The candles in the two hanging lanterns flickered, and an eerie aura gushed out.

"Three! You dare! You have to say it, everyone will suffer!"

"Can't say! Can't say!"

"Noise!"

Mu Gou said coldly and rushed directly towards the two lanterns.

As he had guessed, the two lanterns, though they were desperate to escape, were slow in their speed, like tortoises and rabbits compared to his.

Mu Gou easily grabbed the two lanterns in his hands and tore the cover on the outside of the lanterns.

"Now you can choose not to say it, but I will just trample you to pieces!" Mu Gou said expressionlessly.
