Black Hair's Source

The kerosene lamp hanging from Han Dong's waist gradually illuminated the bottom of the well.

The bottom of the wellhead faces a clear underground pool, and through the water layer, you can see a lot of black hair growing at the bottom, with some broken hairs floating in the pool.

There is also open space below where you can land, which can be reached by ' Tether Swing '.

The G-1 virus body has no problem performing such movements... As long as the right arm grips the Spider Silk tightly, the Tether Swing can be completed by using the strength of the waist and abdomen to shake the Spider Silk.

Despair!

A smooth landing.

Mia nimbly followed and landed, gazing at the cave below the well by the firelight, and couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

Mia exclaimed, "Wow! It's so big down there!"

"Language (pay attention to word choice)."

"Hehe... So you can joke too. You were so mean to that person while we were driving."

At this point, Mia suddenly remembered something and pulled out a detector with a scale from her waist.

"This was given to me by Wenli. She said it can visually detect pollution concentration... However, I don't know what the specific values mean. I'll report the detected values to them later."

The detector is clearly marked with scales from 1 to 100.

Starting from a value of 5, the background color begins to darken.

Once the value reaches 30, the background turns completely black.

The current value of the cavern at the bottom of the well is 3.7, which seems to be within a safe range.

Mia stared at the eye that was open on Han Dong's forehead. "The things underground must have been scared away by your eye. Should we call them down?"

"Wait a minute, there might be a trap."

Han Dong needed to eliminate all dangers, after all, it was he who proposed directly exploring the bottom of the well.

Walk around the open space at the bottom of the well cave.

The underground cavern has been confirmed to be a ring-shaped structure.

The center is a circular underground pool, surrounded by walkable shallow water rings... After a brief inspection, no hidden stone compartments or Secret Corridor leading to the [Underground Area] were found.

"Mia, wait for me here."

"Huh? Where are you going?"

"Underwater."

Without much hesitation.

Han Dong gripped the detector in one hand and jumped into the underground pool.

The "Plague Doctor Attire" adapts and changes.

The original robe shape was instantly transformed into a black bodysuit suitable for swimming.

The mask also provides a small amount of oxygen, allowing Han Dong to move underwater for about 10 minutes.

Due to the activation of the "Lesser Demon Eye".

The hair floating in the water spread out on its own, none of them daring to approach Han Dong.

"As expected, my guess was right."

Finally, at the bottom of the underground pool, a Secret Corridor was discovered, connecting to another Underground Area.

Judging from the density of black hair growth, the direction of its movement, and the linearly increasing pollution index.

This secret passage at the bottom of the pool must lead to the lair of the 'Black-haired Evil'.

"The pollution index at the cave entrance reached 9.7, it must be even higher inside..."

Just as Han Dong was staring at the bottom passage of the pool filled with black hair, a strange Red Balloon slowly floated out from inside.

Snap!

The balloon burst midway, and Han Dong shook his head violently, abandoning his idea of exploring on his own.

wellhead.

Han Dong and Mia returned to Stone Well.

"Prepare a full-body wetsuit; we need to go further into the water below."

The detector showed that the pollution index at the underwater cave entrance was as high as 9.7, and it was estimated to be even higher inside.

I suggested that Winry and another person with weaker resistance or who is not well-suited for underwater activities stay at the wellhead to ensure that the wellhead is not blocked by external forces.

At the same time, we must hold firmly onto the Spider Silk wrapped around us, ensuring that we can escape the Stone Well at any time via the Spider Silk.

Captain Abel suggested, "Dawu, why don't you stay? You're not suited for the water, and you should conserve your energy... We'll need you to confront the bigger monsters later."

"Good!"

"Wenli, could you enchant the equipment? Increase its resistance to contamination."

"... Yes! Everyone, give me all your diving gear. I need half an hour."

Half an hour passed.

Each member of the squad was bound to a strong Spider Silk spun by Mia, which Winry held onto.

Demps the Magician wrapped his body in a special Magic Shield that could both isolate him from the water and protect him from pollution.

At the moment Abel entered the water, a protective structure resembling a tortoise shell grew on his knees, back, elbows, and the backs of his hands.

The white mist surrounding his body sometimes conjures up images of turtles.

"Spirit Turtle Guard" - Increases defense, increases all resistances, and allows the use of the "Joints Parry" skill.

As for Mia, she gathered up her witch's coat and transformed it into a swimsuit that accentuated her figure.

Even Abel was taken aback when he saw the dense black hair in the underwater passage and immediately stopped swimming.

If you get entangled in black hair, "contact contamination" can be difficult to resist.

Han Dong, who was leading the way, showed no fear and continued swimming into the underwater passage.

"How... how did they do that?"

As Han Dong swam in, the black hair in the passage seemed to 'retreat on its own,' all retracting into the wall... as if it were afraid of this young man.

Shocked, Abel quickly swam to catch up.

The underwater passage is about twenty meters long.

Because of Han Dong's presence, the black-haired people here dared not cause any trouble.

They successfully traversed the underwater passage and arrived at a similar pool... only the underwater scenery here left the team members stunned.

"Where did all these corpses come from? Doesn't Stuart Manor have a large cemetery in the open area separated from the town by the hills?"

Why are there so many corpses in the Underground Area...?

"Is the basement of our chosen residence the same? Could this manor have had problems even before the ' Dark Age ' arrived?"

Han Dong carefully examined the corpse at the bottom of the water.

Perhaps due to the special nature of the water, the body did not completely decompose.

In particular, the head was perfectly preserved, with enlarged pores on the top of the head and small black dots inside, similar to sesame seeds... This "abnormality" was discovered by Han Dong.

"This! These are... culture medium!?" Han Dong finally found the source of the black hair at the bottom of the well.

Someone is getting hair transplantation to make black hair.

These corpses submerged at the bottom of the water are excellent culture medium for black hair.

In addition, unlike the previous well-bottom caves,

The pool appeared remarkably 'clean,' with no black hair floating on the surface except for a large number of corpses at the bottom.

Following Han Dong's instructions, everyone surfaced.

Having spent some time underwater, all three of them, except Han Dong, had some faint Corruption Lines around their eyes.

Captain Abel exclaimed excitedly, "This is!! Nicholas, you really guessed right... There really is a sophisticated underground system in the manor."

Above the pool.

It is no longer a cave structure at the bottom of a well, but a man-made underground place.

Apart from the regular stone masonry walls.

Torches, decorations, and even some rather elegant paintings hung on the walls.

The water area where Han Dong and the others were located was a large indoor pond... a pond used for hair transplantation.

In addition, there was a 'owner' standing at the door.

A white candle was held in her hand, and her black hair covered her face, hanging down to the ground.

A strong sense of danger swept over the squad.

However, the black-haired owner did not seem to have any intention to attack. When the four people surfaced, it immediately turned around.

rustling sound... (the sound of black hair rubbing against the stone floor)

The black hair wriggled as it moved, seemingly trying to lead Han Dong and his group to a certain area.

Movement Speed, giving Han Dong and his group no chance to attack.
