The clay took effect extremely quickly.
Tan Xiao’s superficial wound healed rapidly. Shen Mo poured water on his wound. The sticky blood and flesh were washed clean, and not a trace remained on his lower back.
Pan Xiaoxin watched these people bustle about from the side, his eyes widening.
He’d never seen such a miraculous item.
The earlier lightning had shocked him, but because he’d instinctively closed his eyes, he hadn’t seen clearly what item it was. This clay before his eyes, however, was crystal clear! It genuinely healed Tan Xiao’s injury!
The child thought: Brother Fei was right—these people really do have many items…
“Xiaoxin! Where’s the knife?!” Bai Youwei suddenly called his name.
Pan Xiaoxin jumped in fright and quickly handed her the knife.
The knife was intercepted halfway by Shen Mo.
“What do you want the knife for?” Shen Mo asked Bai Youwei with an expression suggesting he didn’t trust her.
Bai Youwei was exasperated. “What do I want it for? I’m going to chop him up!!! That guy isn’t afraid of the snake because the snake won’t eat him! He’s been playing us all along!—”
She didn’t want the knife anymore, angrily wheeling herself out. Shen Mo reached out to grab the wheelchair handle—she couldn’t move anymore and furiously turned to glare at him!
Shen Mo said, “I’ll push you over.”
The others looked at each other and followed along.
That man still lay slumped beneath the counter. Seeing Shen Mo and Bai Youwei return, his face immediately showed a fearful expression.
“You… what are you going to do…” he asked in panic.
Bai Youwei sneered coldly—her smile made the man’s hair stand on end. “What are you going to do?! I’ve already told you everything I know! What more do you want?!”
Bai Youwei curved her eyebrows and eyes, not a trace of warmth in her smile, saying in a gentle voice, “Nothing much—just wanted to ask you… would you like us to take you with us and leave this place?”
The man’s eyes flickered slightly. “Of course… of course I want to leave here, but didn’t you say you haven’t found the exit?”
“We just found it.” Bai Youwei smiled sweetly. “We’ll take you out now, okay?”
“You found it?” The man was astonished, looking at the expressions of Shen Mo, Tan Xiao, and the others.
The people standing beside Bai Youwei had various expressions.
The man didn’t believe it, shaking his head in panic. “Impossible! How could the maze exit be found so easily?! Are you trying to trick me?! I’m not going! You want to lure me outside so the monster will eat me! I won’t fall for your trap!”
Bai Youwei’s smile deepened. “If you don’t go look, how will you know we’re tricking you? Let’s go… Tan Xiao, he’s injured and can’t move. You carry him out.”
“…Ah, ah?” Tan Xiao stared at her blankly. “Really carry him?”
Where to? They hadn’t found an exit at all…
Bai Youwei said, “Xiaoxin, you help too. Help this uncle up.”
Pan Xiaoxin: “…”
He silently walked over to help the man up.
“Get away! Don’t touch me!” The man suddenly shoved Pan Xiaoxin away!
Pan Xiaoxin, unprepared, sat down hard on the ground.
The man roared at him, “Don’t touch me!!! You’re up to no good! You want to trick me outside! I won’t fall for it! …I’m not going out! I’m not going out!!!”
“What’s wrong with your brain? What nonsense are you spouting?” Tan Xiao was impatient, striding forward to grab his arm and pull hard. “If I say you’re going out, you’re going out—”
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
The instant he was pulled, the man let out a terrified, agonized scream!
The scream was heart-wrenching, distorted and shrill!
Yet his body seemed glued to the ground—his flesh pulled taut but couldn’t be lifted!
Tan Xiao was so frightened he let go, dumbstruck. “Shit…”
Pan Xiaoxin’s face turned deathly pale.
The suit jacket covering the man’s legs slipped off, revealing huge masses of meat tumors underneath. His two legs had actually grown into the floor!
His entire lower body was embedded in the flesh!
