Even now, although there are still various points that haven't been fully understood, such as what the "one wish" in the dungeon's name actually refers to, and why they all fell into a coma at the beginning and then woke up in the lobby, Bai Chen has roughly figured out some of the key threads in this dungeon.

...For example, the origin of the corpse clinging to the first-floor ceiling.

Judging from the bloodstain on the wall at the corner of the stairs, the father of the family of five should have died there. Based on their experience of finding the two corpses on the second floor, they should have found another corpse on the stairs.

Based on their previous experiences, the body in the stairwell must have climbed up to the first-floor ceiling from there.

Unlike the two trigger-type corpses on the second floor, this corpse is significantly more active. Not only did it extinguish the candles at the beginning, but it also controlled the Tiger King later. Compared to the two corpses on the second floor that did not have any special abilities, this corpse is clearly much stronger.

However, even though he had figured out these things, Bai Chen still couldn't understand the other party's motives.

Theoretically speaking, the other party should not have any ill intentions towards them. Otherwise, they could have simply killed them when they first fell unconscious, instead of lighting candles to wait for them to wake up.

However, judging from the fact that the other party controlled the Tiger King to attack and blow away the maple leaves, and then tried to attack him just now, the other party also harbors some malice towards them.

If Tiger King's entry into the kitchen triggered the other party's reaction, but I hadn't done anything wrong, was it necessary for Tiger King to specifically control itself to attack me? It couldn't possibly be because of my behavior on the second floor earlier that they were taking it out on me, could it?

If that's the case, then the other party is really stingy...

While inwardly grumbling, Bai Chen repositioned the camping lamp, but when he tried to turn it on, he unconsciously frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing his unusual behavior, Yuan Qing looked at him.

"You have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Bai Chen reached up and picked at his ear, then turned to look at the crowd.

"Uh... bad news?"

While busy checking on the Tiger King's condition, the fallen maple leaves turned their heads away.

"The lights are malfunctioning. From now on, camping lights will no longer provide illumination... and it may not just be camping lights."

Finally, Bai Chen added one more sentence.

"Out of service..."

As if he had thought of something, the bard's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly took out a high-powered flashlight from his backpack.

Unfortunately, although the high-powered flashlight still worked normally, the brightness was much weaker than before, and it was difficult to see clearly at a distance. He initially thought it was a battery problem, but the situation remained the same after he took out a brand new high-powered flashlight.

If this change continues, it is estimated that in another hour and a half at most, the high-powered flashlight will become completely ineffective.

What's even more terrifying is that less than an hour has passed since the beginning, but there is still an extremely long time before dawn.

"And what's the good news?"

Suddenly raising his head, the bard looked in Bai Chen's direction.

"Good news? The good news is that now that we're sitting around the fire, it will feel even more adventurous."

With a slight pursing of his lips, Bai Chen walked over to the Tiger King lying on the sofa and placed his hand on it.

Soon, feedback from the pharmacopoeia flooded his mind.

He seemed to have made the most of his attack, but having only mastered internal energy for a few days, he didn't know the true extent of its power. It was only because of the Tiger King's strong physique that he only suffered a minor bone fracture. If it were the Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao, he would probably have broken at least two ribs.

In addition, he also sensed a sinister aura in the other party's mind.

He hadn't sensed this aura when he was treating the other person with basic healing potions, but now it had suddenly reappeared... Was it caused by that corpse above them again?

While pondering in his mind, Bai Chen channeled a surge of internal energy into the other person's body through his fingertips.

As the signature technique of the Red Dust Sword Sect, the [Empty Valley Orchid Heart Technique] inherently possesses a righteous aura, making one immune to evil. It is only used to dispel a small amount of yin and evil energy, so it is naturally no problem... It is just that the loss of internal energy is really making Bai Chen feel a little heartache.

In order to clear the Tiger King's mind and eliminate the unstable factors in the team, the treatment he received just now consumed another five points of his internal energy.

The recovery of internal energy is troublesome, and he only has 65 points left. Once his internal energy is exhausted, he will lose the ability to fight against these ghosts and monsters... but he can't afford not to use it.

Actually, he had considered using the Pharmacopoeia to create a potion that could restore internal energy, but because the internal energy system originated from Yin Hongxiao's "Cataclysmic Martial Arts," many of the materials for making the potion had to be obtained from that world. Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.

...However, considering the dynamic difficulty of the novice trial, if he were to bring a dozen or so internal energy recovery potions into the dungeon, the difficulty of the dungeon might increase even further.

A few thoughts flashed through Bai Chen's mind, and he withdrew his hand.

"Alright, he should be fine now... By the way, did you bring any water?"

As if he had thought of something, Bai Chen turned around and looked at the crowd.

"Water? I brought a case of bottled water."

Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly asked this question, Dao Ke Dao is not the eternal Dao, he still honestly took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack.

Seeing this, Bai Chen didn't waste any words. After taking the bottle of mineral water, he first unscrewed the cap and then poured the entire bottle of mineral water onto the Tiger King lying on the sofa.

The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao: "..."

The waterboarding had an immediate effect; within seconds, Tiger King began coughing violently, then suddenly rolled over and fell to the ground.

"Alright."

Bai Chen tossed the remaining half-bottle of mineral water back to Dao Ke Dao Fei Chang Dao, clapped his hands, and looked relaxed.

"Oh, and by the way, here's a warning: if you don't want to end up like this guy, having your minds clouded by ghosts and monsters, you need to learn to control your emotions and not let fear and other negative feelings take over your minds. I don't want this to happen again..."

Before Bai Chen could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a violent cough, followed by the furious words of the Tiger King.

"Cough! Cough cough!! Fuck!! You son of a bitch..."

The next second, a kitchen knife flew past him, almost piercing his ear and embedding itself in the sofa.

"What, you have something to say?"

Looking down at the other person, Bai Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tiger King: "..."
