The Little King Next Door

Chapter 296

Deep in the underground palace of the Sa family cemetery, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the endless darkness.

That is the ray of energy activation.

After the light passed, two figures, one large and one small, appeared on the beautifully carved stone platform.

Lei Mu took out two magic lamps and lit them up, letting them float in the air to follow the two of them.

But the darkness here is very strange, as if it would swallow the light. Even with the illumination of two magic lamps, it can only illuminate a three-meter radius around the two of them. Beyond this distance, there is not even a transition zone, and it is just darkness.

Wang Ye looked at the stone platform they were on and the surrounding environment.

If it's not too dark, the layout here should be very beautiful. Both the top, bottom, left and right are wrapped with stones. The ground is dry, without the unique dampness of the underground, and this space is quite wide, as if a city has been dug out of the ground.

It's just that there are no buildings in this city, only thick stone pillars and a stone platform in the middle.Maybe it's the unique atmosphere of the underground, maybe it's the darkness, which makes the atmosphere here very eerie.

"The air here doesn't smell bad." Wang Ye was surprised. After saying this, he suddenly yelled again.

Lei Mu looked sideways, he didn't hear any panic in Wang Ye's cry, it seemed that he just screamed when he wanted to.

Wang Ye repeated ah ah ah a few times, and after the test, he turned to Lei Mu and said, "Obviously it feels very empty here, but the sound can't go far, it's swallowed up by the darkness like a light. This underground palace is a bit It's not easy."

Lei Mu held Wang Ye's outstretched little paw, and led him forward: "If you don't tell me, I haven't paid attention to this."

"Do you know how to get here?" Wang Ye asked him sideways.

Lei Mu smiled: "Of course, I can walk here with my eyes closed. I have never been afraid of the dark. When I was first thrown into the tomb, the silence here even made me feel at ease. When I first came in, I couldn't see anything, so I kept touching walking, and then..."

Lei Mu paused slightly, with a strange look in his eyes: "I now understand why you said that my memory is missing. My memory is indeed missing. I have the memory of walking all over the underground palace, but I don't remember how I lived in the first place. It's coming down."

"Did it take you a while to meet Merlin?"

"It should be. I was thrown at the entrance of the underground palace, and the underground palace is a large maze. The first time I came here, there were no lights, and I kept going around in circles. It must have taken me a long time to reach the depths of the underground palace. , that is here."

"Then do you know the altar?"

"Altar?" Something flashed in Lei Mu's mind, he didn't say anything, but pulled Wang Ye forward.

Seeing that Lei Mu kept pulling him forward without any hesitation or pause on the way, Wang Ye refrained from speaking.

The current Lei Mu feels a little strange to him, but he believes that Lei Mu will not hurt him, even if Lei Mu does do something, he still has the ability to protect himself.

Lei Mu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Wang Ye also smelled a strong slightly earthy smell.

This smell came out of nowhere, as if it had just entered a densely packed mushroom cultivation room.

Even the air here is no longer so dry, but slightly humid and stuffy.

Shua, Shua, it sounded like someone dragging their legs.

Wang Ye also heard a slight chewing sound.

Seeing that Lei Mu didn't move, Wang Ye had no choice but to direct the two magic lamps to fly into the depths of the darkness.

A black figure crawled on the ground, and when the magic lamp passed by, it suddenly raised its head, and it turned out to be a person.

But this guy looks like he's got some serious skin disease, his face, neck, and all exposed skin is covered in... fungus.

Dense mushrooms of all sizes covered the man's body, and Wang Ye felt uncomfortable seeing it, as if countless spores had fallen on his body.

Fortunately, Wang Ye put a protective cover on himself and Lei Mu from the beginning of the teleportation. This protective cover also has a filtering effect, that is, no matter how tiny the spores are, as long as he doesn't want to, don't even try to get close to their bodies.

The man covered in mushrooms jumped up. It wanted to throw down the two magic lamps. It could be seen that it hated light.

Under Wang Ye's command, the magic lamp quickly flashed past the attack of this unknown species of monster, and at the same time illuminated another corner of the wall.

There seemed to be a hunched man digging for something.

But when Wang Ye let the magic lamp stay there, Wang Ye could see clearly that it was also a humanoid monster. Its whole body was not covered with mushrooms, but it was about to become a huge fan-shaped mushroom.

Its legs and feet are glued to the corners of the wall, like the stalks of mushrooms, and its head and upper body have mutated into two fan-shaped canopies, one big and one small, like Ganoderma lucidum.

Wang Ye suddenly turned his head, just behind him, several mycelia that were spreading were approaching him.

"Mumu?" Wang Ye gently tugged Lei Mu's hand tentatively.

Lei Mu was still in a strange state that seemed to be in a daze or in a trance.

Wang Ye felt that Lei Mu shouldn't be alarmed at this time, which is why he didn't use his mental power to wake him up.

Lei Mu suddenly took another step, and he walked straight towards the mushroom monsters.

But what was strange was that those few mushroom monsters seemed to be extremely afraid of Lei Mu, and when Lei Mu approached, they made extremely piercing screams, and they shrank themselves tightly instead of running away.

Lei Mu passed these monsters without stopping, and continued to move forward.

But Wang Ye found that those mushroom monsters were only afraid of Lei Mu, but they didn't take him seriously. When he approached these monsters, these monsters also tried to attack him with mycelium.

The invisible protective cover is covered with hyphae, which look like tree roots and human blood vessels, they are constantly spreading and wrapping.

Lei Mu suddenly reached out and grabbed the mycelium on Wang Ye's protective cover, and pulled it hard.

Those mushroom monsters screamed again.

Hyphae break.

But Lei Mu didn't throw away the mycelium, he grabbed the mycelium and devoured it.

Wang Ye: "..." He wasn't disgusted, his heart was even full of pity for Lei Mu.

If he found mushrooms in the corner of his home when he was a child, he would not care whether they were delicious or poisonous, because when people are hungry, they can really eat anything, as long as they can make the terrible hunger disappear.

Lei Mu led him through a road full of mushroom monsters.

Most of these mushroom monsters look like people, at least it can be seen that they used to be human beings.

Wang Ye didn't want to think about what Lei Mu ate in the cemetery when he was a child, and how he made these mushroom monsters fear him.

He only knew that this underground palace was definitely not "there is no living person except him" as Lei Mu said.

Maybe there is no living person, but there will be no fewer monsters.

These mushroom people can only play sneak attacks, and their most powerful is their spores and hyphae.

If Wang Ye and Lei Mu didn't have the karma loop protection shield on their bodies, maybe they would be covered with mushrooms after walking such a distance.

Wang Ye also collected the mushrooms from several mushroom monsters for identification.

This kind of fungus is the same as the fungus Cordyceps sinensis. They can parasitize in the body of organisms, absorb the nutrients and vitality of organisms, and achieve themselves. They are also parasitic life.

But they have a very nice name called thousand change bacteria.

Because after this fungus parasitizes, a variety of mushrooms with different shapes and colors will grow on the parasite.

Wang Ye thought this kind of variegated bacteria was very interesting. When he saw a huge clump of variegated bacteria, he couldn't help but went forward to collect some.

Of course, he didn't collect these fungi for eating, but he still remembered what Zong Lao told him that ancient parasites liked mushrooms very much.

After collecting all the large fungi on the surface, Wang Ye stopped suddenly.

Because he saw that under the layers of mushrooms were four connected human bodies.

They seem to be alive, their bodies are still wriggling slightly, and new mushrooms are constantly growing all over their bodies.

Wang Ye stopped collecting, even if the insect nest expressed his liking for these mushrooms, he didn't want to collect any more.

He bottled some of the spores of the chamomile mushroom and put them in a separate isolation room.

During this period, Lei Mu stood aside and waited for him.

Lei Mu even grabbed a few handfuls of mushrooms and handed them to him.

Wang Ye wanted to laugh again, but felt distressed at the same time.

Even at this moment, Mumu was thinking about him, afraid of starving him, so she still remembered to share the food with him.

Wang Ye grabbed Lei Mu's hand and said softly, "Let's go, let's go to the altar."

Lei Mu's eyelids didn't move, which was weird in itself. He looked at Wang Ye, as if he saw it, but also seemed to be in a state of sleepwalking, and led him to continue walking.

Wang Ye felt that after he saw the group of mushroom monsters, nothing could shock him.

But after seeing the hundreds of wriggling rotten flesh in this passage, I still feel unbearable.

Have you ever seen rotten flesh that rots to a stench and grows dozens of legs to crawl around on the ground and walls?

Wang Ye saw it now.

The most frightening thing is that these rotting flesh have a mouth, and they keep screaming "Help me! I'm hungry!"

These carrion presumably have nothing else to eat, they gobble each other up.

Seeing the pieces of carrion eating and absorbing each other, Wang Ye was so disgusted that he wanted to spit out the overnight meal.

The passage here obviously has some blocking effect, ensuring that monsters in one passage will not go to other passages.

It's just that Wang Ye doesn't know how these monsters came from for the time being, and what is the purpose of them being placed in the underground palace.

To protect the underground palace?

But is it really necessary to prepare such a disgusting monster?

At this moment, Lei Mu suddenly opened his mouth and said to him: "It's not delicious."

Wang Ye was stunned.Dare his baby Mu Mu have tasted the taste of these carrion?

"Mumu, for you, I will also be qualified as a holy-level magic chef! I will never let you eat any unpalatable and unhealthy dark dishes again!" Wang Ye made his great wish heartbroken.

Wang Ye swore that he saw the corner of Lei Mu's mouth curled up in sleepwalking state.

Lei Mu's movements were also a little more obvious, he held Wang Ye's hand tightly, as if to keep him from touching these pieces of rotten flesh.

Wang Ye didn't have the slightest idea of ​​collecting these pieces of carrion, he just wanted to leave this passage as soon as possible.

But maybe the guy who arranged these monsters really had a different taste from ordinary people. He prepared a large number of scalded people in the next passage as if there were not enough disgusting people.

Scalder is a nicer term.

What Wang Ye really saw was a gigantic ground pot, with boiling water or some other liquid boiling in it, and then dozens of people were screaming and wailing in it, and some people kept jumping into the pot.

Some of them looked like they had just been cooked, and some had boiled skin and flesh falling off their bodies in pieces. The most terrifying thing was the half-cooked people. No one could take a second look at the terrible scalds.

Wang Ye looked at the huge ground pot, thinking about whether to fly over it.

However, Lei Mu had already grabbed him and walked up to a very hidden path next to it, just like the narrow side of a pot.

The people in the pot kept rushing towards the two of them, but when Lei Mu turned his head to stare at them, he screamed in fright and jumped back into the boiling water.

"Mumu, you didn't drink this pot of soup, did you?" Wang Ye said jokingly.

Lei Mu didn't answer him, he just took him away from the ground pot quickly.

When he was on the opposite side of the ground pot, Wang Ye knew what happened to those people who jumped into the pot on their own initiative.

A large number of small bugs crawled all over the bodies of those people.

The insects continued to drill into the nostrils, ear holes and other holes of these people. Some insects had powerful claws and could directly bite through the skin and enter the human body.

Lei Mu grabbed a few bugs from a person, crushed them to death, brought them to Wang Ye's mouth, and said, "Eat."

Wang Ye: "..." He really didn't want to eat it.

He didn't even dare to speak, he was afraid that Lei Mu would directly feed these worms into his mouth.

Fortunately, Lei Mu was not very persistent, he saw that Wang Ye would not eat, so he ate the worms by himself.

Wang Ye swallowed, he was definitely not greedy!

Same as before, the insects here, whether they are living monsters or not, are all afraid of Lei Mu, as long as Lei Mu gets close to them, they will either frantically dodge or shrink themselves into a ball, more is constantly screaming.

Wang Ye paid special attention to those humans who were bitten by bugs.

These people all look like humans, but just looking at their pale skin and eyes with only whites, you can tell that they are not normal humans.

There is no normal human who has been boiled to bones, can crawl out of the pot, and grow back the skin and flesh after walking around.

These people will be bitten by countless bugs when they grow up.Bitten by insects, they can't stand it anymore, and they will take the initiative to jump into the tumbling ground pot.After being boiled and boiled into white bones, they crawl out again, and the cycle repeats.

Wang Ye suddenly thought that if this is really punishment, the monsters in this passage can be "resurrected" continuously, repeat the process of punishment, and feel the pain repeatedly.So could the previous mushroom monsters and carrion blocks still be conscious?

Thinking of this, Wang Ye couldn't help but shudder.

He thinks that he is ruthless, cruel and ruthless in his treatment of enemies and enemies, but using this kind of repeated punishment to torture people?

He really can't do it.

This is no longer venting hatred, let alone revenge. It is obvious that someone is satisfying some kind of perverted desire for sadism.

This kind of people are all mentally ill, no, they can no longer be called human beings, because they have separated themselves from the category of human beings, and human beings are no different from insects and ants in their eyes.

The fourth passage, it is a passage full of fruits on the walls, but if you see what the fruit trees are, you will not want to pick these fruits and eat them, even if each of them sprouts extremely Alluring sweet taste.

The fifth passage, it is absolutely not suitable for minors to enter and watch.

Lei Mu even reached out and covered Wang Ye's eyes.

Wang Ye didn't want to watch it either, it was so disgusting, I can only say that the imagination of some perverts has no limit.

Lei Mu stopped at the entrance of the sixth passage. He lowered his head and said seriously to Wang Ye: "Mycelia can be eaten, insects can be eaten, but others are not allowed. If you eat it, you will get sick."

Wang Ye nodded.

Lei Mu stretched his finger to the dark passage ahead again, and said slowly: "The people here are all lunatics, don't pay attention to them. Don't eat anything inside either."

Lei Mu held Wang Ye's hand and exerted a little force: "Follow me closely."

Stepped into the passage with one foot, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Wang Ye's eyes widened in surprise. Did they enter the palace banquet from the cemetery and the palace?

Everyone here is wearing luxurious and exquisite palace dresses, elaborate jewelry on their bodies, and extremely delicate makeup on their faces.

Even the men are obviously powdered, and some men's clothes are more gorgeous than women's, and their body smell is even more fragrant than women's.

But these men are not motherly, and they have no gender misunderstanding. They just think that this will highlight their unique identity and status, because both cosmetics and fragrances are extremely expensive.

Some people are obviously wearing alchemy jewelry, and the temperament of these people looks different from the people around them.

They raised their heads higher, looked more arrogant, and even waved their fans and joked with more self-satisfaction.

Lei Mu and Wang Ye stood at the door, both of them were out of tune with the nobles in this banquet no matter their clothes or temperament.

Wang Ye was still wearing Meteorite's school uniform.He found that school uniforms are really durable, dirt-resistant, not easy to break, and suitable for many occasions. Wang Ye prepared a lot of sets for this.

Lei Mu didn't wear a school uniform, his attire was closer to that of a warrior.

Wang Ye was particularly envious of Lei Mu's figure. Most of Lei Mu's body was made of strip muscles, which made his body full of muscles, but he was not tall and big, but slender and powerful.Moreover, Lei Mu has slender limbs, coupled with his height of 1.8 meters [-], and perfect body proportions, it can be said that Lei Mu's body shape is simply Wang Ye's ideal.

But Wang Ye hopes that he can grow taller in the future, at least surpassing Mu Mu, and he also hopes that his muscle layer can be thicker.

At this time, among the guests talking and laughing happily at the banquet, the outermost group of people discovered the two of them.

"Who are you guys?" Someone came towards them with a glass of wine and asked in a not very polite manner.
