When the beauty of cultivation enters the infinite live broadcast
Chapter 187 Red Candle
There were no ghosts on the stage any longer. Only the big red lanterns were left, eerily lit, illuminating the pale faces of the players lying on the ground.
Feng Ling was closest to Xiao Wen, just behind Xiao Wen's body, leaning against a pillar with a thin layer of snow on his head.
Lian Wu put the candle aside and tried to wake Feng Ling up, but there was no movement. If it weren't for the obvious pulse in his hand, Lian Wu would even suspect that this group of people had frozen to death here.
Helplessly, Lian Wu helped Feng Ling to a chair nearby. No matter how cold the wooden chair was, it was still not as cold as the stone floor.
Xie Ning wasn't found, but Lian Wu found the already dazed Hua Meng. Although Hua Meng was still conscious, in her current state, she was no more reliable than the frozen Zhou Yixi.
There were also six players lying on the ground, and it would be difficult for Lian Wu alone to move them all to a relatively safe place.
But he soon thought of a solution. Six people had fallen, so the rest were probably in the room. One person couldn't finish mopping the floor, so he just called a few more people.
Following the players' rooms in his memory, Lian Wu knocked on each door and left a message: "Come out and help me. I have a clue. Do you want it?"
If you simply tell them there are clues, players won't necessarily risk going out in the dangerous night fog that's clearly stated in the rules. They'll suspect ghosts are deliberately luring them out, or they'll suspect other players with ulterior motives are out to harm them.
But adding a sentence "Do you want it or not?" would be much better. Ghosts or bad players would be eager for them to leave, so how could they leave such a sentence?
So most of the players who were still in the room opened the door.
As for the two doors that could not be opened, Lian Wu understood the plight of the players in the room when he saw the red ice in the cracks of the doors.
Xie Ning's door was open, and the red candle inside was half burned. The ice and snow on Xie Ning's body was still melting, and his face was not as pale as those players on the first floor, but he was still asleep.
At this time, Zhou Yixi had almost recovered, and her cheongsam had been changed into a warmer sweatshirt, which was sponsored by Mo Ru.
Originally, Mo Lu didn't wear a sweatshirt in the corridor because she was afraid of violating the family rules, but until Zhou Yixi helped take the red plum from her hand, she no longer cared about the so-called family rules. No matter what the family rules punished her, that would be a matter for the future. If she didn't change now, she would freeze to death.
In return for saving his life, Mo Ru contributed the remaining warm clothes.
As for the other players, under the coercion of Lianwu Tijian, they were forced to do hard labor, carrying the frozen players on the first floor.
The sight of six frozen players sitting in a row in the corridor was a truly eerie spectacle.
At this time, Zhou Yixi came down with the red candles she had collected from each room.
When Lian Wu saw Xie Ning's expression earlier, she guessed that the red candles could effectively alleviate this unusual frost.
A group of frozen players were surrounded by lit red candles, and the scene was inexplicably reminiscent of a sacrifice.
After the candle was lit, the surrounding frost quickly melted and the player's face gradually turned red.
Hua Meng had been outside for the shortest time and suffered the least damage, so she was the first to regain her ability to move.
Lian Wu held the candlestick with the white candle in it. Mo Ru couldn't help but ask, "Why did you only let us find the red candle, while you held the white candle?"
"It's okay if I don't hold a candle. This level of cold won't harm me. Holding a candle is just for convenience. Besides, the white candles here last longer than the red ones."
Only then did Mo Ru notice that the red candle on the ground had burned to the width of two fingers, while the white candle that Lian Wu had been holding for so long was only a little shorter.
The next person to wake up was Feng Ling. He staggered when he stood up and was steadily held by Lian Wu.
After everyone regained consciousness, Lian Wu asked each of them to take a candle and return to their room.
The number of red candles that Gathering Mist cleared wasn't enough for each player, to prevent them from mistakenly using white candles. He reminded them, "White candles will bring in the cold, but they'll also keep the ghost faces outside from breaking in through the windows. If you don't want to freeze to death, remember to live with someone who has red candles."
Before leaving, Feng Ling did not forget to warn them: "Don't think about causing trouble, be careful that the victimized players will turn into ghosts."
On the surface, Feng Ling was warning everyone, but in reality, he was speaking to Wan Yaomei's people.
The Wan Yao Mei Guild is not a gathering place for good people. Before falling into a coma, Feng Ling had seen the barrage of comments and had a basic understanding of this guild.
Simply put, this guild will stop at nothing to obtain dungeon rewards, even infighting within the guild is common.
Lian Wu and a few others gathered in Xie Ning's room. The original red candle was less than 1/3 left, but Xie Ning showed no signs of waking up.
"Master's health is very poor. Even common illnesses can be very serious in him."
Hua Meng carefully wiped away the remaining melted snow on Xie Ning's face.
The expired replacement hourglass that Xie Ning was holding in his hand was also taken out by Hua Meng.
He never told Xie Ning that this item was bound. In addition to the person holding the item, the bound owner could also trigger it forcibly, but the price was that the item would become permanently ineffective.
When Hua Meng realized something was wrong outside, she wanted to open the door and go out directly, but the entire door was frozen tightly. Although the red candles were burning in the room, it would take a long time to completely melt the ice on the door.
Hua Meng knew that her master couldn't wait that long with his physical condition, so she forced him to use props.
He was always the one who was most willing to take a gamble, but when it came to Xie Ning, he didn't dare to take a gamble. Xie Ning had already endured the consequences of his crime for two years, and the impact of the crime on him was almost doubled. Hua Meng even regretted agreeing to his master's original arrangement.
Lian Wu looked at the remaining candles in their hands. The ones in Zhou Yixi and Xie Ning's rooms were red candles, while the ones in Feng Ling and Hua Meng's rooms were white candles.
The red candles in Xie Ning's room couldn't last long, and the real time of the copy started from midnight.
That is, they are now in the early morning of the first day of the dungeon, and there are at least two more nights waiting for them.
The red candles alone are not enough to last until the end of the copy, they must find new red candles.
The same problem also exists for other players. The number of red candles is too small, and the candles Zhou Yixi found are all the red candles in the player's room.
Including the two candles here, there are only seven candles among the 15 players. And tonight, in order to save the players on the first floor, only 2/3 of the red candles are left.
Although white candles can block the ghost face, they will cause the temperature to continue to drop.
At this moment, Feng Ling remembered the lantern that suddenly lit up when the temperature dropped sharply.
What if the drop in temperature wasn't caused by fog? The lanterns must have been filled with candles.
If there is a white candle in a red lantern, is it possible that there is a red candle in a white lantern?
When Feng Ling shared this guess with his teammates, Lian Wu immediately decided to go and see for himself.
Feng Ling wanted to follow but was rejected.
"It's very cold outside. It's dangerous for you to go out. I'm the most suitable person to go. Don't forget, you have the bracelet."
