Wu Xiaode looked forward.

Cold sweat flowed down his neck and down his back, bursting into bursts of cold chills that he didn't even notice.

- On the pile of bones hundreds of meters ahead, a monster sits on it.

That's a cyclops.

It was so large that it was three stories tall even if it sat on a hill-like pile of bones.

"Phew, your human flesh is unpalatable."

The giant grabbed a skeleton and grumbled as he chewed it.

Its eyes were tyrannical and cruel, its mouth was splattered with blood, and its skin was covered in a dark gray that looked like a solid rock.

How could Wu Xiaode ever see such a hellish scene?

Is this a dream?

He stretched out his trembling hand and twisted the flesh on his waist fiercely.

- Not a dream.

Why did you end up in such a horrible place?

A voice suddenly sounded from behind him:

"Three, you're the last to enter here."

Wu Xiaode suddenly turned around and looked.

I saw a little girl covered in injuries sitting in the corner, her face covered in blood, and it seemed that she would not live long.

She said—

Three?

Wu Xiaode followed her gaze and looked to her side.

I don't know when, two other people really appeared next to me.

A man in a hat, dressed in a full night suit, clutched a cold sword in both hands, was looking left and right.

The other was an old man, with a dark black scepter in his hand, and from time to time he exuded a burst of palpitating aura.

Masked Nightcrawler, old man, himself.

Exactly three people.

"Excuse me, why are you here?" The masked man spoke vigilantly.

The little girl was about to answer, but suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, the old man turned his head to look at the corpse mountain and the one-eyed giant hundreds of meters away, and frowned: "The one-eyed giant is a monster in myths and legends...... It turned out to be this place. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xiaode and the masked man couldn't help but look at him together.

"Your Excellency, do you know what this place is?"

The masked man asked cautiously.

The old man bowed his head and said, "I know a legend about the 'Death Demon Cave'—"

"When a living creature falls into a mortal fate, there is a certain probability of entering here - the cyclops are in this demon cave, its strength is extremely terrifying, once anyone enters here, they can no longer get out, they can only be eaten by the cyclops."

The old man's face turned pale after speaking.

The masked man's body also trembled, and he whispered, "You mean, we're actually dead?" ”

"Even if you're not dead, you're going to die soon – death is our destiny that follows us, that's why we're here." The old man whispered.

The masked man looked down at the sword in his hand and said thoughtfully, "I was exploring a top-secret ancient ruin, and I took this sword from the deepest mechanism, and then the entire ruin began to crumble. ”

The old man turned his head to look at Wu Xiaode and asked, "Little brother, what were you doing before you were teleported?" ”

"I'm fighting people." Wu Xiaode said.

"Fight?" The masked man answered.

"It's weird to say...... It was just an ordinary brawl, but someone hid in the shadows and stabbed me in the back. Wu Xiaode replied truthfully.

"That's right," the old man looked at the masked man, and then at Wu Xiaode, "one of you will be killed by the ruins, and the other will be stabbed to death by someone, and I am fighting an enemy today." ”

The three fell silent together.

Death –

It turned out that he had fallen into a mortal situation, so he was teleported to this death cave?

Sounds so ridiculous.

The masked man was still a little unconvinced, turned to the little girl and said, "This girl, what is your situation?" ”

The little girl was able to speak at this time, and said, "I have encountered an assassination in the field. ”

Wu Xiaode's heart slowly sank, and his eyes looked around.

The ground was littered with men dressed in uniform armor, all killed, corpses lying in pools of blood.

These people seem to be the little girl's entourage.

Among them were a few brave men with swords, and some maids—

There's even a chef with a full set of barbecue utensils.

Even the chef has a ......

It didn't look like these people were preparing to fight the giants, but rather like themselves, they had entered this place by accident.

It's right again.

It is also a coincidence that a person is in danger and is teleported in.

Now everyone is in a different dangerous situation, and then they are here.

This proves the old man's words.

"That's right, this is the legendary Death Cave, it seems that we are the ones chosen by fate, and we are all going to die here." The old man sighed.

The masked man's body shook, clutched the sword in his arms, took a step back, and whispered, "No...... It shouldn't be like this, I finally got this sword. ”

No one responded to him.

Wu Xiaode also gritted his teeth-

Chosen by fate?

Dead here?

I'm just an ordinary person, why did this kind of thing happen to me!

"That's not right." Wu Xiaode suddenly spoke.

Everyone else looked at him.

"Everyone around you is dead, but you are still alive, why did this giant let you go?" He asked the little girl.

The little girl smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why I am not dead is because the giant wants to keep a fresh bite and eat it later." ”

In the distance, the giant seemed to sense the movement.

It tore a warhorse in two, and one of them was stuffed into its mouth, chewing and eating it, and said with an urn sound:

"She's right - people who die in fear will quickly stink and sour their corpses, and they won't taste good at all."

"Alive...... It's scary, but it's a little better. ”

The giant's voice came from afar in the quiet, cold cavern, with a sense of permeation.

Wu Xiaode froze.

I can't imagine it, it turns out to be this truth.

Beside him, the old man's body began to tremble, and the masked man involuntarily clenched the long sword.

- I don't know if it's dazzling or what's going on, Wu Xiaode always felt that the long sword was constantly shaking, as if he wanted to break free from the masked man's hand.

Bursts of chill erupted from the giant's body, silently spreading out in all directions, causing a thick layer of hoarfrost to form on the walls and floor.

The huge and ferocious momentum on its body is even more magnificent and immense, making it completely impossible for people to rise to resist.

Wu Xiaode just glanced at it, and he felt a fluster, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet.

- This is not a scenario that humans can cope with at all.

Incomprehensible.

Why did you appear in such a horrible place!

Is there only one dead end?

Wu Xiaode's heart was full of despair, but he found that something suddenly appeared in front of him.

A thick book with a black cover appeared in the void and opened it towards itself, revealing lines of frosty small characters that exuded a cold light and crystal clear:

"In this strange land of undead and heroic spirits, your soul will naturally resonate with this place, thus activating a deep potential and awakening a special ability: the Book of the Dead."

"The Book of the Dead immediately begins to unleash its power, giving you optional commissions."

"Current number of available orders: 2."

"Please choose one of the delegates to be executed to get the corresponding reward."

Wu Xiaode's heart ignited hope, and he hurriedly looked down.

"Entrustment One: Sensible Lamb."

"Mandate note: The cyclops are extremely powerful beings, even if you awaken a rare ability like the Book of the Dead, you can't defeat it in a hurry, so you are dead."

"The Cyclops craves a perfect meal, and you, as a lamb to the slaughter, strip yourself of your clothes so that the Giant can eat happily."

"Delegated Reward: Eaten by a Giant."

Wu Xiaode read it quickly, and couldn't help but scold.

Who would choose this commission?

Who would?

- Anyway, this neurotic ability is really awakened by itself?

He continued to look down, only to see that there was another commission below:

"Commissioned two: the lamb to the slaughter."

"Mandate Statement: You must ensure that the little girl lives, even temporarily."

"Delegated Reward: This is your only chance to survive, and there is no guarantee that this will be useful, but there is always a little bit of hope."

Wu Xiaode's heart jumped, and he squinted at the masked man and the old man.

I saw the two of them staring at the one-eyed giant, their expressions full of wariness, but they turned a blind eye to the black book in the void.

As for the little girl, she was vomiting blood.

She was dying, and she didn't even glance at the cold little words in the void.

Don't......

Only you can see the book?

"Ladies and gentlemen," the masked man said, grasping his sword, "this place is extremely ominous, take the next step first." ”

The masked man jumped up slightly, and his figure flew towards the corner of the wall.

Flight!

Wu Xiaode's heart jumped.

- The masked man can fly!

This was not the end of it, the old man waved his scepter and whispered, "Go! Walk! Walk! ”

A firebird several meters long appeared at the old man's feet, carrying him towards the masked man.

Wu Xiaode looked in the direction where the two were going, and saw a one-person hole in the corner of the wall.

I see!

With the huge body of the giant, it was impossible to pass through this cave at all, so the two of them had to flee towards this cave!

"They're so strong, maybe there's hope to escape!" The little girl murmured.

She suddenly threw something to Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode took it and took a look, but it was a scale armor as thin as a cicada's wings.

The scales contained a strange fluctuation of power, as if it had a slight repulsion to everything around it.

"It can keep you from being killed in one hit, go quickly, someone is covering, maybe you can survive!"

The little girl looked at Wu Xiaode expectantly and cheered him on.

"Why give it to me?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"If you can run one, it's one, go quickly!" The little girl said.

Wu Xiaode's heart was a little touched.

- It's a pity that the little girl's face is covered with coagulated blood scabs, and she can't tell what she looks like at all.

I don't know who she is.

But no matter what, as the little girl said, she already has this armor that looks like a treasure.

Since there are powerful masked men and mages running ahead, why don't you follow?

Spelled.

Fight it!

Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth, put on the close-fitting scale armor, and bent down to pick up a spear from the corpse of a guard.

The spears were heavy, some could not move, and dragging and running also affected the speed.

- This spear weighs at least three hundred pounds.

Someone made this spear move?

Originally, I thought that if I could rush into the hole, at least there would be a weapon behind me to defend myself, but now it seems that I can only forget it.

Putting down the spear, Wu Xiaode picked up another short knife-

No way!

This knife is also heavy!

- Affect the speed!

Wu Xiaode dispelled the idea of picking up weapons.

As he delayed, the masked man had flown into the corner of the wall, and was about to burrow into the hole, when the old man followed closely with a firebird.

Sudden mutations.

On the pile of corpses, the giant suddenly raised his head, grinned and showed his hideous sharp teeth, and said with a cruel smile:

"Professionals? Your meat must be chewy. ”

Wu Xiaode didn't see what was going on at all.

All he saw was the giant's big hand of steel, grabbing it through the air—

The next moment.

The masked man clutched it in his hand, put it in his mouth, and chewed it vigorously.

"It's unpalatable!"

The giant shook his head, stretched out his other hand, and grabbed it at random.

The firebird was immediately shot out, and the old man was caught, and the giant put him in front of his nose and sniffed him, and said in a disappointed tone:

"The fear in your heart is too great, and the flesh is sour."

It slapped the old man out of the air and slammed it into the hard stone wall hundreds of meters away.

The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, waved his scepter, and emitted a ray of light to form a shield—

The giant's eyes widened suddenly, staring straight at the old man.

An incredible scene has appeared!

A crimson ray flew out of the giant's one-eye, piercing the light-shaped shield and striking the old man.

The old man didn't even scream, and his entire body completely disintegrated, turning into a pool of bright red blood stains that continued to flow downward and gradually dry up on the wall.

He's dead.

— like a mosquito that has been swatted to death.

The giant snorted, chewing heavily as he turned his head and looked at Wu Xiaode with one eye.

Everything happens in just a few breaths.

The masked man and the old man had just landed in front of the hole in the corner, and Wu Xiaode had just given up picking up weapons.

It all started and it ended.

Wu Xiaode was stunned and looked at the piercing scarlet on the stone wall.

- This is still a hairy run!

It seems that there is only one dead end.

Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth and picked up the scimitar from the ground-

He didn't know what it meant, but no matter what, at the last moment of his life, he must not be like a bastard!

He took a deep breath and raised his scimitar.

- It's heavy!

The scimitar was raised above his head with great effort, and it twisted crookedly because of the poor grasp of the strength.

- How is this going to be fought?

There's no way to fight it!

Wu Xiaode thought distractedly.

He met the giant's gaze—

The ugly, cold, merciless eyes revealed an increasingly obvious sarcasm.

The giant snorted contemptuously and muttered:

"For countless years, few of you low-level species have dared to fight me except to escape, and even if they do, they can't catch my move, let alone hit me, O ants, you are as humble and ridiculous as dust."

No one ever hit it.

Wu Xiaode listened quietly, and his heart was filled with boundless despair.

The giant stretched out his hand and flicked it at Wu Xiaode in the air.

Before Wu Xiaode could react, the scale armor on his body suddenly emitted a layer of light, completely enveloping him.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound.

Wu Xiaode flew out upside down, rolled several times in a row, and hit the wall, so dizzy that he couldn't get up for a while.

The mask shook for a while.

The whole scale armor made a "click" and "click" sound, gradually cracking through the dense lines, and finally scattered on the ground with a bang.

The scale armor with magical powers was completely damaged.

The giant said boredly, "It's that interesting armor...... But what's the use? Its owner is dying, and you will die too. ”

Wu Xiaode's figure shook, and finally stood up slowly against the wall, gasping for breath.

Thanks to the little girl's armor, she saved her life.

I almost died just now!

The giant seemed to lose interest, and no longer looked at him, but opened his jaw, full of sharp fangs—

Burst!

An afterimage was spat out by it, flew out like an afterimage, hit the wall, and bounced to the ground with a crisp sound.

Dead.

Wu Xiaode looked at the long sword stained red by blood, and the whole person was completely stunned.

It was the sword that the masked man had been holding tightly in his hand.

In this way—

The flying masked man has been swallowed by the giant.

I-

Is this also the end?

Why am I facing such a thing?

Wu Xiaode was in a trance.

Behind him, the little girl whispered quickly:

"Run—the giant seems to be full, its desire to attack has decreased a lot, and you're just an ordinary person, and it doesn't look down on your flesh-"

"Take advantage of this time to get away from here!"

Wu Xiaode's eyes swept around, only to see a piece of blood spilled in front of the hole in the corner, dark inside, and he didn't know where to lead.

Yes, the hole is too small for the giants to pass through!

"Let's go!"

Wu Xiaode put down the short knife and hurriedly went to help the little girl.

Anyway, her armor saved her life just now, and she has to repay it!

"Leave me alone, my injuries are too bad, my bones are broken, and I can't live."

The little girl said through the pain.

Wu Xiaode looked at her twisted legs, only to feel as if something was stirring vigorously in her chest, and an indescribable emotion gradually filled it.

His gaze once again focused on the small lines of ice crystals in the void:

"Commissioned two: the lamb to the slaughter."

Is there really a chance of survival?

Even the commission itself says that there is very little hope.

Wu Xiaode looked at the hole again.

The ground shook slightly.

The giant slowly climbed down from the towering mountain of corpses, apparently intending to come this way.

Escape –

For now, the only way to do this is to escape!

Wu Xiaode looked at the little girl again, wanting to say something.

"I'm already dying, run away - if you survive, avenge me later!" The little girl looked at him deeply and said her last words.

Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth.

Damn it.

Damn!

He took a big stride and rushed to the hole with all his might.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The giant really didn't bother to pay attention to him, but walked towards this side step by step, and said:

"Rats don't deserve more – I have too much rat meat."

"However, a sprout with special power fluctuations can be used as a meal for this meal."

Its one eye fell on the little girl.

Finally.

When it stood in front of the little girl, Wu Xiaode had already rushed to the entrance of the cave.

He can leave!

The little girl withdrew her gaze and looked at the giant in front of her.

There is no doubt that he is going to be eaten.

The little girl could no longer hold back her emotions and began to let out a slight sob.

The giant looked at the little girl and said in an urn voice: "As a high-quality ingredient, you are qualified to say a last word. ”

The little girl looked at the hole in the ground.

Wu Xiaode drilled into the hole and stood in the shadow of the hole.

- There is a steep slope in the burrow, and there is no end in sight, and if you jump down, you can immediately leave this terrifying place.

But for some reason, Wu Xiaode hasn't left yet.

He stood in the darkness and stared at the little frost letter:

"Commissioned two: the lamb to the slaughter."

I appeared here inexplicably, and I got this book of the dead inexplicably.

Then again-

Not even the masked man and the mage survived!

Is the hole safe?

No, there is no way to confirm this.

So—

Do you believe the hints of this Book of the Dead, or run away in this completely unknown and terrifying place?

Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth and looked at the little girl in the corner.

The two looked at each other.

The little girl wiped away her tears, sniffed, and shouted at him, "Go away!" ”

Wu Xiaode froze in place.

In mid-air, the giant hummed again:

"It's mealtime."

It slowly reached out its large, bloodstained and skeletal hand and grabbed at the little girl.

It's coming to an end.

Suddenly—

A voice sounded from a hole in the ground not far away:

"If I were you, I wouldn't have eaten her so easily, after all, she was already full of fear."

"According to you, the corpse of a person who dies because of fear will stink and sour, and it will not taste good at all, even if it is a living person, right?"

The giant's hand stopped.

The little girl also looked incredulous, and her eyes looked straight into the hole.

I saw Wu Xiaode coming out of the hole.

His face was very pale, and his body was still trembling slightly, but his eyes were fixed on the giant.

Damn it.

He cursed secretly in his heart, and said loudly to the giant:

"You can't see anything other than corpses in this cave, so you can only eat these things all the time, and of course you find it unpalatable."

He walked back step by step, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

The giant stared at Wu Xiaode, his eyes were full of disgust, but he still couldn't help but say:

"Sour flesh, what do you want to say?"

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath.

It's going to die.

The thought came out of his heart and was immediately restrained by him.

You don't have to worry about life or death anymore.

If everyone who enters this sealed cave is extraordinary-

The masked man has a sword, the old man has a staff, and he ...... There is a book of the dead that no one else can see!

If the commission on this book is true -

Take a gamble.

No matter how illusory your hope is, you have to gamble yourself!

Wu Xiaode walked straight to the little girl and opened a corpse.

- It was the corpse of the only cook among the many guards around her.

Wu Xiaode opened the box of utensils pressed by the corpse, rummaged through it, and soon found some bottles and cans.

"Look, we have vinegar, soy sauce, garlic."

"Actually, that's enough, but luckily, we still have chili peppers and cumin powder."

Wu Xiaode began to apply various condiments to himself.

The little girl froze.

The giant froze.

A few breaths passed.

The giant's one-eyed eyes became more and more rounded, and the wings of his nose opened and twitched from time to time, as if he was trying to sniff the unique flavor emanating from Wu Xiaode's body.

Its raised hand slowly stopped.

Wu Xiaode had already let go at this time, and said loudly:

"I'm alive, and it must taste better than a corpse."

"I'm fat and thin, unlike her, my skin and bones are not delicious at all."

"The most important thing is that I'm very good at this dipping ratio."

Wu Xiaode estimated the size of his body, smearing all kinds of condiments all over his body, and did not stop until he reached the ideal level in his heart.

He has faith in himself.

- After all, every time you eat hot pot, everyone likes to let themselves help with the dipping sauce.

The ex-girlfriend has always been reluctant to give up on herself.

It wasn't until she specifically asked herself for the ratio of dipping sauce that she dumped herself mercilessly.

That is to say-

You can handle the dipping sauce yourself!!

Wu Xiaode put those bottles and cans on the ground, raised his head to meet the giant's one-eyed, and said in a loud voice:

"I'm probably the tastiest person you've ever seen in your life, and I don't think you can deny it."

His voice echoed far away in the silent cavern.

The murderous aura on the giant's body has long since dissipated.

It looked down at Wu Xiaode, who was full of condiments, and was a little surprised for a while.

Beside Wu Xiaode, the little girl's eyes were bigger than a bull's eye, and her mouth was even more open, and she couldn't close it at all.

What is this man doing?

He's crazy?

I am so pitiful that when I was dying, I thought about saving such a madman, and hoped that he would survive.

Thinking of this, the little girl's expression became gloomy again.

Wu Xiaode didn't care about it so much.

He opened his arms, held his chest out, and shouted to meet the giant's gaze:

"Come on, try the taste!"

The giant was a little moved.

The killing intent in its one-eyed eye completely dissipated, hesitated for a few breaths, gently stretched out his hand, and carefully grabbed Wu Xiaode-

Looking at it, it seems that it is afraid of hurting Wu Xiaode, so that the living flesh and blood body will turn into a corpse, destroying the freshness and flavor of the entire ingredient.

The giant palm held Wu Xiaode with extremely gentle strength, slowly raised it, and put it in front of his nose and sniffed lightly.

"How?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The giant said in a serious tone, "This is a wonderful taste that I have never tasted. ”

"Actually, there are several other better flavors, I can teach you how to season them, can you learn them?" Wu Xiaode said.

"And?" The giant's eyes lit up.

"Yes, I'll tell you—" Wu Xiaode grabbed its two giant fingers and struggled to get up, leaning forward and leaning against the giant's nose.

And then—

Syllable!

A crackling sound suddenly sounded in the quiet demon cave.

The cyclops froze.

It tore Wu Xiaode off his face and asked, "You ...... just now It's in ......"

"Slap you." Wu Xiaode said.

He was covered in sauce and grinned as he rubbed his palms, "No one can hit you?" Big garbage, what was this sound just now? ”

There was a dead silence all around.

The little girl didn't know what to say anymore, so she covered her mouth with her hands.

The cyclops swelled with ferocious murderous intent all over its body, and the vertical pupils on its head slowly contracted, and began to glow with bursts of scarlet light.

Wu Xiaode had already put life and death aside, and said with a gentle expression: "Next time you introduce yourself to others, don't be so arrogant, remember to tell them how you were fanned." ”

As soon as the words fell, the change was abrupt!

An illusory lamp suddenly appeared in the void.

The moment the lamp appeared, a loud "bang" broke out, and then quickly turned into several blazing stars.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

Nine brilliant stars surrounded the Book of the Dead, neatly arranged in a circle in the void, radiating a dazzling radiance.

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

What kind of magic is this, is it used by giants to kill themselves?

No, it looks more like something inspired by his own Book of the Dead.

As he was thinking, he saw that the star light quickly scattered into countless points of light, and disappeared into the Book of the Dead.

The inner pages of the book frantically refreshed lines of small words that exuded an icy atmosphere:

"Congratulations!"

"You've done the commission: the lamb to the slaughter."

"You saved the little girl for the time being."

"You slapped the cyclops and taunted him by the way."

"This has never happened in eternity, and you have done it as a humble ant."

"All the undead who wander in this cave are looking up to you and cheering for you."

"You've earned the appreciation of the undead, Rank: Nine Stars."

"This is the highest rating."

"Many heroic spirits are surrounded by the little girl's guardian spirit, and they all decide to take a gamble on you."

"This book has resonated with all the Heroic Spirits, and has drawn enough power from them to temporarily free you from your current mortal condition."

"You'll go back to your own world and try to improve your strength for seven days."

"In seven days, you will be back here, this is an inescapable fate!"

"Teleporting ready—"

Out of death?

Even if it's only seven days, it's great news.

But is it true?

Wu Xiaode couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but look up at the giant.

I saw the giant staring at Wu Xiaode, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs, and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.

It whispered:

"I looked away just now, you guy still dare to struggle like this when he is dying, and there is an indescribable power fluctuation in his body-"

"You should be the top ingredients!"

The giant opened his mouth and stuffed Wu Xiaode inside.

Those sharp fangs fell with a strong wind pressure, but they stopped a few centimeters away from Wu Xiaode's head.

- The teleportation has begun!

The Book of the Dead frantically refreshed lines of small ice crystal print:

"Energy conversion complete."

"You're all set."

"The character is about to be stripped away from the present moment and return to the world to which it belongs."

"Return!"

Hmmm-

Wu Xiaode turned into a cloud of light and shadow, instantly broke through the void, and didn't know where to go.
