As the lanterns went out, the underground palace instantly fell into silence.

Then suddenly there was a burst of ghostly howling.

"What happened? Why did it go out?"

"Ahh... I didn't do anything! How could it be destroyed in my hands?"

"Fire! Who has fire? Can this lamp still work?"

"Wow! I'm sorry for your trust. I'm sorry to everyone. I'm sorry..."

"Shut up!"

Xiao Qianchuan couldn't bear it any longer, so he covered Lanbo's mouth with one hand and took out a ball of light from his arms with the other hand.

With this ray of light, several people calmed down instantly.

Lan Bo was surprised at what the other person had in his hand, but felt guilty about his own incompetence, so he had to shut up and dared not ask any more questions.

Gentlemen Newt and Wood felt that their panicked behavior was too ungraceful and they both lowered their heads in shame.

The underground palace finally became quiet.

Xiao Qianchuan let out a long sigh and squeezed the ball of light in his hand.

A thread emerged from the dark blue cocoon, and like a living thing, it swayed left and right playfully, as if saying hello to Xiao Qianchuan.

Xiao Qianchuan couldn't help but rub it in his palm. The thread swayed left and right, and it took a long time to stabilize the sphere.

Without Xiao Qianchuan saying anything, it seemed to know what the other party was thinking. The thread pointed to the left, and its meaning was obvious.

Go that way.

Xiao Qianchuan smiled and rubbed his cheek against the lovely ball of yarn. A little bit of pink actually appeared in the dark blue ball of yarn.

So cute!

Compared to its owner, this thing is so adorable.

Xiao Qianchuan stopped teasing the little guy and led the three of them to the left.

In the darkness, with only the faint fluorescent lighting, everyone followed very closely, fearing that they would be left behind at a turn. No one had time to chat.

They could not feel the passage of time, nor could they remember how many corners they had turned or how many rooms they had passed.

Until the next intersection, a little light finally appeared in front of the passage.

The light was the same dark blue as the one in Xiao Qianchuan's hand, but it was brighter and more eye-catching.

Lanbo felt something was wrong and slowed down his pace.

Wood, however, rushed forward from the back, unable to hide his excitement.

"Great, I finally found the exit."

Dr. Newt, who was equally delighted, quickened his pace and wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Xiao Qianchuan.

Newt turned around, his face full of confusion, then he thought about it and smiled, holding the other person's hand and comforting him.

"Don't worry, I said I'd take you away, so I'll definitely protect you. I'll get you out safely. Don't be afraid, let's go take a look ahead first."

Newt's tone was very convincing, but Xiao Qianchuan was not the young master who was ignorant of the world.

He has always been immune to unrealistic rhetoric.

Seeing how confident the other person was, Xiao Qianchuan stopped trying to stop him, pulled his hand back, and only gave him one warning.

"Go slowly."

But before Newt could get close to the door with the light on, Wood rushed back from inside, flapping his hands and feet.

"Bugs...so many bugs!"

Wood slapped off the spider hanging on his body and stepped hard, and the thick green slurry burst out instantly.

Everyone dodged immediately, and Xiao Qianchuan looked at Newt who was leaning against the wall and asked.

"Doctor Newt, do you have any insect repellent powder?"

Newt's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, I've been carrying it with me ever since they came out of the woods last time and were covered in bites."

After the choking powder was sprinkled, Xiao Qianchuan covered his mouth and started coughing violently.

Newt approached him and patted him on the back, caring.

"It's okay, it's okay! You'll get used to the smell. With the powder on us, the bugs should stay away. Can you walk? Do you want me to carry you?"

When Lanbo heard this, he immediately volunteered. How could an NPC be allowed to do something like gaining favor in front of the boss?

He quickly stepped forward to show his goodwill, but he felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart.

In the past, the players always acted like grandsons and tried their best to win the favor of NPCs. When did the key NPCs take the initiative to approach the players and curry favor with them?

After thinking for a long time without any result, Lanbo could only attribute the cause of this strange phenomenon to.

The boss is indeed a boss!

It is normal to play by unconventional means.

However, the boss Xiao Qianchuan did not give Lanbo the opportunity to perform.

After declining the two's offer, he clenched the ball of light in his hand and slowly walked into the door.

Just as he expected, this underground palace was connected to a natural tunnel underground.

After many twists and turns along the way, they finally arrived at the nest where the giant cocoon was.

The huge dark blue cocoon still stood upright in the open cave, and the glowing cocoon silks were entwined and extended in all directions as before. The difference was that more insects were attracted this time.

There were so many that Xiao Qianchuan had no idea where to step. Everywhere he looked, the sky was covered with all kinds of insects.

It makes the whole body itchy and the scalp numb.

"Then...what is that?"

Newt's eyes were filled with a faint blue light. He suppressed his fear and asked the question in his heart.

He thought no one would answer him, but suddenly a giggle was heard from the other side.

The laughter was hoarse and unpleasant, and it made people shudder.

"Hehehe! This is the body of a god."
