Seeing Xuan Yang covering Li Huowang's mouth, the others holding the fire box rushed up with unfriendly eyes and surrounded Li Huowang.

"Not leaving, huh? Then you'll die here today! We absolutely won't let you go and inform that leper head!"

Despite his current life and death situation, Li Huowang was not panicked at all. He rolled his eyes silently and cursed the plot of this illusion, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself bound to the hospital bed with wide straps, and those fellow disciples had disappeared.

"Aunt Wang, I'm awake. Can you help me loosen up?" Li Huowang shouted into the microphone on the bedside to the night shift nurse. He urgently wanted to see if the jade pendant was still in his clothes.

However, after shouting for a long time, there was no response. Li Huowang understood that Nurse Wang was secretly watching Mary Sue TV station while on night duty again. She always liked to be lazy.

Li Huowang looked down at his chest wrapped in blue and white hospital clothes, desperately wriggling, trying to sense whether there was a jade pendant in his chest by squeezing it. But now his body was tightly bound, and he felt both sensation and no sensation. After trying a few times, he reluctantly gave up.

Li Huowang was in a helpless state, lying on the bed, praying that Nurse Wang would finish watching the drama and take a look at the camera with mercy.

In the late night environment, even the second floor where severely ill patients were located was very quiet. Li Huowang fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the cold ground of a cave.

He was still in the same position, but those guys who had tried to escape before were all gone.

"Hmph, you NPCs also want to deal with me?" Li Huowang took out the jade pendant from his pocket and gently shook it in his hand before putting it back in his pocket.

When he returned to his dormitory and lay in the hay waiting patiently for the arrival of daylight, he couldn't sleep at all because he was excited about the value of the jade pendant.

Without a clock, Li Huowang didn't know how long had passed. When he saw his fellow disciples waking up on both sides, he also sat up.

"It's getting light outside, so Aunt Wang should be changing shifts. Should I go back now and check? Nurse Ai is much more dedicated than her."

Just as Li Huowang was hesitating, there was a hurried sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Aren't you coming faster? Master ordered everyone to gather at the Hui'an Palace!!"This sudden news left everyone confused, but since it was their master's decision, they had no reason to refuse.

Soon, all the disciples gathered in the largest cave of the Huian Palace, and the torches illuminated their puzzled faces.

Li Huowang noticed that some people were missing, except for Xuan Yang, even some of the headmaster's disciples were gone.

"Did they run away with him?" Li Huowang thought, watching the scene with interest.

When a head emerged from the dark tunnel, all the disciples except Li Huowang instinctively lowered their heads.

It was their master, Danyang Zi.

"Cough!" A cough made everyone tense.

"Last night, at two in the morning, someone tried to escape, including two of my personal disciples. I am deeply saddened!" He said he was saddened, but his face was filled with anger.

"Was it discovered? Xuan Yang and his gang are really incompetent." Li Huowang sneered.

"No rules, no square. Mistakes must be punished. This is the rule of our Xishan Donghua Sect. Follow me."

All the disciples followed Danyang Zi in silence.

After passing through various caves and a turbulent underground river, they arrived at a damp cave the size of a classroom.

Li Huowang saw the people who tried to escape tied up in the corner, their faces dejected. They seemed to want to say something, but the cloth in their mouths prevented them.

Danyang Zi did not seem to want to hear their excuses, and he pointed forward with a hand gesture. "Open!"

The smooth ground of the cave opened up, and the escapees fell into the hole.

The next moment, the sound of hysterical screams, flesh tearing, bone breaking, and other terrifying sounds echoed from the hole.

Facing this horrifying scene, many disciples' legs began to tremble, and their eyes wanted to shut.

"Come closer! This is the consequence of their escape!" Danyang Zi's words made everyone's faces turn pale.

No one dared to disobey their master's command, and they were pushed to the edge of the hole.

The cave was very dark, pitch black.

The dark circular cave was like a whirlpool, as if it wanted to swallow everyone up.Li Huowang carefully identified and saw a large black cauldron in the cave, with twisted symbols pressed on the edge of the cauldron.

There seemed to be something moving inside the cauldron, but Li Huowang couldn't see it clearly. The only information he received from his senses was the nauseating smell of blood inside.

No matter what was inside, it was definitely dangerous.

"Things in my hallucinations shouldn't be able to harm me. Something like that has never happened before."

Although he said that, his heart was still hanging and he was ready to retreat to the hospital at any time.

"Whoosh!" A wriggling black shadow instantly drilled out of the cave, wrapping around a junior fellow beside Li Huowang and then quickly retreating.

Everyone was frightened by this scene and retreated to the smooth cave wall. If it weren't for Danyang Zi watching nearby, they would have already run away.

At this moment, almost everyone's expression became extremely frightened, and they were trembling with guessing what that thing was.

But Li Huowang was not among those guessing, because he was standing closest to it and he saw it clearly.

It was a mass of black flesh with meaty texture, with short black tentacles growing on its slippery and sticky skin, constantly trembling!

Based on this alone, Li Huowang could be sure that what Danyang Zi was raising in this cave was definitely not a normal thing in the world.

As for what it was exactly, Li Huowang couldn't guess and didn't want to go over and take another look.

Although he knew that all these things were created by his own brain, Li Huowang really wanted to understand why such a thing would appear in what he created.

Li Huowang looked around at everything that was so real and suddenly had a terrible guess. "Could this terrifying and strange world be real?"

This guess made Li Huowang's body tremble instantly. He thought of the people who had died before. If those people were real and not just his hallucinations, then he would have died when that thing grabbed him just now?

Li Huowang was almost overwhelmed by this suffocating fear. He took a few deep breaths and immediately used the self-soothing method taught by Dr. Li.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"All of this is just a hallucination, even if it's so real, it's just a hallucination. Li Huowang, you can't get lost in these hallucinations. They are all created by you, what are you afraid of?"

"Yang Na is still waiting for me, I can't let her down. I can overcome all of this! I definitely can!"

After Li Huowang's self-soothing, his emotions gradually stabilized, and he was able to face everything calmly.
