Listening to Lin Baici’s voice, Hua Yue Yu and Zhou Ya still felt a sense of security.
Xia Hongyao racked her brains, trying to reason out the critical point as soon as possible.
As time passed, gradually, no one spoke anymore.
Only Lin Baici silently counted the minutes, asking Hua Yue Yu and Xia Hongyao every three minutes.
By the third time, Hua Yue Yu didn’t respond immediately.
“Small Fish, what’s wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?”
“I feel so tired, like when I first started live streaming, having to sing and dance in front of the computer for twelve hours a day!”
Hua Yue Yu’s voice was filled with fatigue.
Lin Baici relit the pine torch and looked around.
Many people were clinging to the edges of the wine jar with their heads resting on their arms, looking exhausted.
“Could this liquor be consuming our energy?”
Lin Baici’s brows furrowed deeply as he carefully observed everyone’s condition.
Lin Baici had a good impression of the cute and obedient girl who had suffered from the Divination curse, but now she was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Baici called out several times, but no one responded.
Lin Baici hesitated for a moment but eventually got out of the wine jar and quickly ran towards the jar where Liu Liu was soaked.
“Little Linzi, what are you doing?”
Xia Hongyao was shocked, wasn’t it said that it was very dangerous outside?
But the next second, she also got out.
As the team leader, she should lead by example and not let the team members take risks.
The liquor splashed everywhere as it was drawn out by the long robes of High Ponytail.
Hua Yue Yu was also very nervous.
“Why are you coming out?”
Lin Baici scolded, “Go back!”
“I’m with you, so we can watch out for each other!”
Xia Hongyao insisted.
Lin Baici pursed his lips.
Honestly, he was moved because two female college students had already died, which meant that getting out of the wine jar would be dangerous.
Xia Hongyao walked over to the jar where Liu Liu was soaked, and seeing the spread of that black hair floating inside, she had a sinking feeling: “Is she dead?”
Lin Baici reached out and pulled Liu Liu up.
The girl’s complexion was pale, and her eyes were closed forever.
Even so, the fatigue, bewilderment, fear, and desire to live could still be seen on her face—these expressions combined into a distressing yet pitiful look.
Everyone was eager to know.
“Everyone, get out; the liquor drains our energy, and staying in it too long will kill you!”
Lin Baici finally understood what the Red Medicine wine soak was all about.
It turned out that it extracted the essence of life, or life force, or vitality from one’s body.
The person who completed the wine cure was like discarded dregs; if they didn’t die, they were finished anyway.
but didn’t you say that staying outside the wine jar would also kill you?”
This really left no way out!
“Staying in the wine jar means certain death, and once you come out, it randomly kills one person—you choose!”
Lin Baici thought the pine torch in his hand might make the unknown creature wary of him, at least enough to save him for last.
“Small Fish, come here!”
Lin Baici called Hua Yue Yu over.
Everyone dared not stay in the wine jar any longer, and after getting out, they gathered around Lin Baici.
“Why don’t you move forward?”
Du Xin pulled Zhou Ya, wanting to be close to Lin Baici.
With so many people, there would always be those closer and those farther away, and those farther from Lin Baici had a definitely higher risk of death.
No one was a fool, so they all squeezed towards Lin Baici.
If they weren’t worried about Lin Baici thinking ill of their behavior, these girls would have already started cursing, insulting each other’s ancestors.
Lin Baici was speechless, “Also, keep quiet.
I need to think of a solution!”
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Lin Baici currently had four Divine Grace abilities, with Mantra Buddha Resound and Wild Buddha blowing a lamp being the most powerful—the latter even offered a mass killing ability.
Red Rolling Stone followed, with better stealth, but without seeing the enemy, its power was useless.
Passing Ears Recitation was a support power, leaving only Mantra Buddha Resound.
Lin Baici didn’t know if it would work, but he had to try something, like a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
He began to recite the Heart Sutra, and the dark, damp cellar, which felt like an ogre’s den filled with shadowy figures, began to imbue a serene, dignified, and majestic atmosphere.
Lin Baici was bathed in an aura of Buddha light, seemingly purifying the cellar and transforming it into a paradise on earth, filled with birds chirping and flowers blooming.
The restless and anxious emotions of the crowd began to calm down.
Gu Rongjie looked at Lin Baici, full of admiration.
This superior appearance, this unique voice, and the calming Buddhist sutra…
She wouldn’t even need to buy much online hype; a simple packaging would make him a hit, a top-tier idol.
After Lin Baici finished the first recitation, he paused for a moment before starting the second.
He kept an eye on everyone, trying to spot the murderous creature.
But everyone seemed normal, which left Lin Baici disappointed and at the same time, somewhat hopeful.
“Could it be that this sutra had an effect?”
On the third recitation, Lin Baici became even more immersed.
“Seems like it might work?”
Guo Zheng was excited, following Lin Baici’s lead.
It was definitely the right choice.
“Everyone, keep an eye on your surroundings, and if anything is amiss, signal immediately!”
“Could this Buddhist chant have suppressed the monster?”
Du Xin felt relieved.
Just as everyone’s spirits were high, thinking they had survived, a boy suddenly collapsed to the ground without a sound or a twitch.
His eyes rolled back. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI(F)ire.net
