When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 687 - 505: Puppet Child

Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage couldn't see Xiang Beifei even from such a short distance, so he could try impersonating this "Piercing Stone"; maybe he could find out what this group was up to.

Xiang Beifei followed behind Lei Chadao, walking out of the passage and heading towards another.

"Even someone as powerful as Lord Kui was restrained?" Xiang Beifei inquired.

"All the same, why do you feel strange? Haven't we discussed these things?" Lei Chadao asked.

"I just feel it's alarming that someone as powerful as him was also restrained," Xiang Beifei said.

"Restrained means restrained, it's the same for anyone. Let's hurry up and not keep him waiting too long," Lei Chadao turned and headed outside.

"Okay."

Xiang Beifei followed Lei Chadao quietly, observing his surroundings. The place was indeed peculiar; the passage was enclosed by stone slabs, which were not sealed and had gaps between them. If the light was a bit brighter, one might have been able to see the other side of the walls clearly.

They soon turned a corner and saw Brain Hole and the others ahead.

"What happened?" Brain Hole asked darkly.

"We were attacked, something attacked me," Xiang Beifei said.

"Are you all right?" Brain Hole asked again.

Xiang Beifei was relieved to find that Brain Hole indeed hadn't recognized him.

"I ran out, but that purple bug almost dragged me away," Xiang Beifei said.

"You were attacked by the holy relic of Fubei?" Brain Hole asked.

"Yes."

Xiang Beifei wasn't clear on what exactly the holy relic of Fubei was, but he guessed that this was what Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage called the thing on top that devoured Spiritual Power. These things were lethal to them.

"You're lucky to have escaped," another woman with a blue face said.

"Yes."

Xiang Beifei decided it was best to speak less to avoid slipping up.

"Stick close, and don't get separated again," Brain Hole didn't ask any further and continued walking ahead.

Xiang Beifei walked at the very end, right beside Lei Chadao. He really wanted to ask these people what they were looking for but restrained himself.

Probably because of the attack on Piercing Stone, every Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage became vigilant, their attention fixed on their surroundings, not even noticing an uninvited guest in their midst.

They soon reached a fork in the road; the stone path here turned into steps, branching off in different directions.

"Lord Kui, which way should we go?" Half Head asked.

Brain Hole stood pondering which road to take but at that moment, Xiang Beifei suddenly heard a strange sound, like someone sighing heavily. He looked in the direction of the sound and paused.

About five or six meters in front of the left staircase, there clearly stood a blurred figure. Although he couldn't see the person's specific features, those purple eyes were shining brightly in the darkness!

What is this guy?

Xiang Beifei watched the figure cautiously, glancing back at Brain Hole and the others, but this group of Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage seemed like blind men with open eyes, unable to see such an obvious person!

Even if this group had poor eyesight, the shining purple glow of those eyes was as conspicuous as guiding lights. Could they really not see them?

Xiang Beifei quickly realized that the suppression here was very noticeable on the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, no wonder they were reluctant to come down when they were on the lake surface earlier.

The creature with the big purple eyes seemed to know that these people couldn't see it, which is why it fearlessly stood so close. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Left," Brain Hole made the decision.

At that moment, the purple shadow leaped upward, disappearing into the darkness.

Xiang Beifei had no way to warn these Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, because he couldn't explain why he could see them. Besides, he didn't want to alert them; the life or death of Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage didn't matter to him. Here, he only needed to ensure his own survival and find the blood altar.

They began ascending the stairs on the left, and after climbing twenty-one steps, they arrived inside a spacious secret chamber.

Though it was called a secret chamber, it wasn't exactly one. The chamber, including its walls and ceilings, were made of stone slabs everywhere there were gaps. Xiang Beifei had just entered this chamber when he suddenly found many pairs of purple eyes staring at them through the gaps between the stone slabs!

Even Xiang Beifei felt chills now. What kind of place was this? Why were there so many purple eyes in the cracks between the stones?

Most importantly, the group of Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage still hadn't noticed anything unusual!

"It seems everything here is normal," Lei Chadao said.

Normal, my ass!

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but curse inwardly.

However, the other Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage also breathed a sigh of relief. Brain Hole said, "Hurry and find the Puppet Child."

Puppet Child?

Xiang Beifei was puzzled. Was this their purpose for coming here?

But what is the Puppet Child?

While keeping an eye on those purple eyes, he pondered, but the other Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage had already started feeling around. They began searching cautiously in this secret chamber.

As they moved, those several pairs of eyes immediately disappeared, fading into the darkness. Xiang Beifei also pretended to search, although he didn't truly know what he was looking for, but when in Rome, do as the Romans do—he still had to put on a show.

Xiang Beifei slowly approached the walls with gaps, cautious of the eerie purple eyes. He was worried that something might drag him away in the darkness, but he soon discovered that these stone slabs were covered with murals.

The murals were carved with some sharp blades, cut deep into the stone. The depicted scene was a high mountain adorned with many desolate beasts. Since there were cracks between the stones, the murals weren't continuous. As he moved forward, the first things he saw were various desolate beasts, most of which he recognized, but some he had never seen before.

"Where exactly could this Puppet Child be?"

Xiang Beifei approached Lei Chadao and asked casually.

"I don't know either, if we can't find the Puppet Child here soon, we'll face severe punishment when we return," Lei Chadao said fearfully.

"But in such a dark place with our senses so heavily suppressed, how can we find the Puppet Child? We can't even see clearly what the Puppet Child looks like," Xiang Beifei said.

"Don't worry, this Puppet Child is something that the Demon God placed here long ago specifically to restrain them. It will resonate with us."

"Them?" Xiang Beifei asked, puzzled.

"Yes, they resisted the Puppet Child, but were still wiped out. However, the Puppet Child seems to have been hidden somewhere. This is the most troublesome part for us. They were annihilated, yet still left us with troubles," Lei Chadao explained.
