Chapter 1659: Chapter 1654: Deeper Within

Mental World projection, a nice explanation.

And at the critical moment between life and death, revealing one’s deepest secrets to eliminate team friction and plot survival, no matter how you look at it, it’s a good situation.

Especially in this team, I’ve already gained the right to lie flat indefinitely.

The conversation between Sha Ming and Huang Leji undoubtedly caught everyone’s attention, including Fu Qian.

Even though some of the content had already been vaguely guessed before, the added details were obviously quite valuable.

According to Sha Ming’s explanation, the current situation is still quite simple to understand—

This mysterious place that suddenly appeared and became more real with each step deeper is fundamentally linked to the missing Huang Zhixun.

His disappearance wasn’t an accident; rather, after returning from the first ”fruitless expedition,” he sneaked back here alone.

Although this time he came with teammates, the ever-shrewd Blood Lion only intended to use their strength without sharing the spoils.

And ultimately, after bringing that Special Item back here, his plan seems quite successful.

Combining with ”It,” his inner projection directly materialized into the place before us, trapping everyone inside.

If all this is true, betrayal, treachery, Brother Blood Lion’s performance in this story is rather spectacular.

But different from the previous outrage, after Sha Ming finished speaking, an angry denunciation did not immediately ensue.

Condemnation is also selective; it generally has little effect on the truly non-innocent.

Not to mention Brother Sha Ming himself dissected everyone’s intentions without mercy while revealing his own cards.

Everyone is here to mix in, yet among those who followed in, how many really believe the purpose is that pure?

The bloody facts are already here; thinking about how to escape is the real deal.

Moreover, it seems like there’s still a chance to get benefits.

As long as we can find Blood Lion.

...

”So, you mean we should jump from there?”

Once it’s confirmed there’s someone similar further down, continuing to fall downward doesn’t seem so daunting.

As Sha Ming candidly spoke, the team members might feel agitated inside but are ultimately starting to look ahead.

And after exchanging a glance with the group, when Huang Leji spoke again, he was already pointing towards a corner of the hall.

”Otherwise? Do you think we have any other path we can take?”

To this, Sha Ming let out a hoarse laugh, and while countering, he directly stepped out.

”Besides, if you look closely, there’s a path leading downwards there; no need to jump at all.”

The spot Huang Leji indicated is probably the darkest corner of the space.

There’s no decoration around it, like a chunk of the floor has sunk unexpectedly.

At the same time, even standing here, one can smell an unpleasant fishy odor wafting out from inside, akin to the exposed sludge when water recedes.

”There’s really a path!”

Sha Ming’s words were ostensibly indefensible, and as Fu Qian commented, someone already managed to step forward, followed immediately by an exclamation.

And when Elder Huang Leji glanced this way and saw Fu Qian still showed no sign, his lips moved but eventually said nothing, leading the others along.

As for this unsaid sentiment, Fu Qian found it entirely understandable.

Even though appearing abruptly and not even introducing oneself until now, as a new team member, it’s the epitome of rudeness.

But when everyone chooses to establish ”Bonds” immediately and then forces maximum value, they’ve already lost the grounds to criticize these things.

And after failing in a nakedly desperate scenario, there’s absolutely nothing more to say.

Like mentioned earlier, I am now an indefinitely flat-lying member.

With that sense of ease, Fu Qian finally didn’t further disrupt the team atmosphere, choosing to step up and join.

...

”What if we die down there?”

Without leaving time for the group to hesitate, after reaching that dark corner, Sha Ming didn’t hesitate for a moment and walked right down.

And the group, exchanging glances, could only grit their teeth and follow once Huang Leji stepped forward.

But this doesn’t mean they’re completely without complaints, especially when walking on those narrow, steep stairs filled with green-black sticky substances.

Indeed, this narrow downward passage seems to have been soaked in water for who knows how long, everything visible is covered in a layer of damp sludge.

There’s certainly a bit of an Abyss entrance feeling, no wonder someone couldn’t help but ask such a pessimistic question.

Trailing behind the group, Fu Qian curiously observed his surroundings, clearly impressed by the current development.

He even felt that Elder Huang Leji might not have wholly negative emotions.

Earlier, forcing his hand was true, but frankly, it was merely a survival tactic in dire situations.

Although unable to stimulate positivity now, Brother Sha Ming standing out was a prime example of unintended consequences.

”I don’t know; normally, we wouldn’t truly die, but honestly, I find it hard to believe Huang Zhen didn’t die just now.”

Including addressing such morale-shaking questions, he actually responded.

”What about you?”

And following this seemingly pragmatic answer, he stopped in a puddle after descending the stone stairs, turning to face the last one walking behind, Fu Qian.

Clearly forced into action, unable to remain low-key, he didn’t want to let Fu Qian so easily stay out of it either.

”That one indeed seems dead.”

And as the perpetrator, Fu Qian even nodded slightly, using a somewhat awkward phrasing, he confessed to his crime unashamedly.

”Although it doesn’t mean dying down here would have the same fate.”

But next, he continued to meticulously assess the surroundings, indicating it couldn’t be simply compared.

Below the rather short stone staircase is an excessively low underground space, the mud above almost touching the hood.

”What would be the fate?”

And observing people coming down one by one, squeezing into this damp and oppressive place, Sha Ming continued his emotionless inquiry.

”It’s deeper here, theoretically meaning conditions should be more severe.”

Fu Qian hadn’t intentionally minced words, offering a straightforward logical deduction.

”SAN Points minus 1.”

And at the instant he finished speaking, a familiar voice actually rang out simultaneously.

Without disappointment, after charging for a while, Brother Sanxun manifested once more.

The voice came from the damp wall behind.

[SAN Points minus 5]

Moreover, he even brought an extra surprise, proving Fu Qian’s statement in an instant—coming down here makes conditions more severe.

The SAN Points loss notification in their ears actually increased fivefold.
