Chapter 562 Practice

Chapter 562: Practice

So far, the players had only truly witnessed those withered branches connected to the nurses. Yet they understood clearly that such branches were nothing compared to the colossal tree hidden deep down the corridor.

They were merely the tip of the iceberg, just the exposed tendrils.

But even this small part was already difficult for them to manage.

After much deliberation, everyone ultimately decided to follow Jie Ying. She possessed a method that could make them stronger quickly. Even if they didn't fully trust her, even if they found her somewhat strange, they had no other choice when it came to survival.

Moreover...

They sensed genuine sincerity in Jie Ying's words.

She didn't seem to be fabricating a random pretext to deceive them; she truly intended for everyone to grasp a method that could enhance their own strength.

Furthermore, if they could truly comprehend and learn the method Jie Ying spoke of, it wouldn't just increase their chances of clearing this nightmare game; it would be of immense benefit for every subsequent nightmare game.

This was an extremely rare opportunity, and naturally, they were unwilling to miss it.

Since the corridor lights hadn't been turned off during this time, the group began "Meditation" right there in the corridor, under Jie Ying's instruction.

Su Bai also closed his eyes, but he wasn't "meditating." Instead, he was sorting through the various pieces of information mentioned in Jie Ying's earlier words.

Only a short while later, Xu Rui spoke up.

"I think I can feel it!" Xu Rui's voice suddenly rang out from the side, filled with intense shock and excitement. "Oh my god, I think I can really see inside my own body!"

His tone carried a hint of disbelief, as if he had witnessed something utterly unimaginable.

Xu Rui was a quick study, so he was also the first person to successfully enter the state.

Following closely behind, Chi Yan, Le Shiya, Feng Xuelan, Tian Yue, Su Bai, and the amnesiac Xiang Feiyu also gradually entered their respective meditative states.

The method was effective.

This was what everyone realized.

Just as everyone was focused on practicing, a peculiar sensation quietly surfaced.

"...Is it my imagination? Or a side effect of practicing this method?" Xiang Feiyu, the biggest of them, suddenly tugged at his collar, his brow slightly furrowed, his tone carrying a hint of confusion. "Don't you all feel like your bodies are getting warmer?"

"Isn't it because of the practice?" Tian Yue slowly opened her eyes. She seemed to have the same feeling but didn't pay it much mind. "Like the situations mentioned in cultivation novels?"

"No." Su Bai hadn't entered meditation, so he had been listening and sensing the various changes around him from the start. "It has nothing to do with the practice. The temperature of this corridor itself is rising."

Hearing Su Bai's words, the other players also stopped their practice.

Soon, they too noticed that the "body warmth" indeed had nothing to do with it. When they reached out to touch the corridor floor and walls, they could all feel a noticeable increase in temperature.

"This is bad." Chi Yan suddenly grew tense. "Is what happened in the ward going to happen again?"

What Chi Yan referred to was naturally their near-freezing experience earlier in Ward 1406. If it really was the Eerie Entities of the Newborn Department messing with them again, then after trying to freeze them to death... were they now going to be cooked alive by this corridor?
