my cthulhu game

Chapter 48 The Ancient Race on the Tip of the Tongue

In the hall, all the seats have long been removed, and a large number of mining machines are neatly placed here, but obviously, they have not been turned on.

"It's not turned on," said Uncle Xu, switching his real vision, "There's still a lot of dust—"

These mining machines have not been turned on for a long time, but according to the power supply station, the power consumption here is really high...

"Uncle Xu, look at that corner." Chen Qiang said calmly.

【SC0/1D6】

[Chen Qiang succeeded in sanity test 12/35]

Chen Qiang didn't think there was anything scary about this thing...

"What?" Uncle Xu also looked there.

In the line of sight of the two, a barrel-shaped thing appeared, which looked like some kind of plant.

Uncle Xu blinked.

"Is it... alive?" Uncle Xu asked.He had never seen such a thing before, and looked curiously at this barrel-shaped plant growing in the corner of the stage.I saw the gray-green torso of the plant standing there motionless, the five pale yellow tentacles on the head (the position of the barrel lid) drooped feebly, and the tentacles on the root (bottom of the barrel) seemed to be rooted on the floor .

My old Xu is uneducated, what is this stuff?

"Uncle Xu." Chen Qiang said suddenly.

He confirmed it: his other gods could attack this guy with a slightly higher blackjack consumption than Old Xu.

Well, living intelligent mythical creatures.

"What's wrong?" Uncle Xu was puzzled, "Xiao Chen, you know more than I do, what is this?"

Chen Qiang glanced at the tip of the tentacles—the colorful cilia were tightly covered.

[Chen Qiang Cthulhu myth knowledge check 33/55 success]

Only when it comes to details that are difficult to recall, Chen Qiang will receive the notification of the Cthulhu mythology knowledge check.

In the knowledge of Cthulhu mythology in Chen Qiang's memory...

The creature's eyes are red, iridescent lens-like spheres at the tips of the tentacles.

The check was successful, I remember correctly.

I said, do you think that if you close your eyes and pretend to be dead, I will treat you as an ordinary tree?
Even if you are really a tree, I have to inform the experts of the botanical garden to come and have a look at this kind of strange tree that I have never seen before.

"Uncle Xu." Chen Qiang's voice was very calm.He gestured to Uncle Xu, and the two backed away a few steps together, away from the safe distance threatened by the vines of the plant.

"Xiao Chen?"

"I have traveled to famous mountains and rivers," Chen Qiang said calmly, "I have seen this kind of... this kind of tree before."

In Chen Qiang's impression, the moving shape of this creature is more like sea anemones or insects than trees, but at this moment, it looks too much like a stump when it is pretending to be dead, so we might as well call it a tree.

"The plant is generally aquatic and grows in the deepest and deepest trenches, but it can occasionally be found on land."

"Why is this happening?" Uncle Xu was puzzled.

"It reproduces by spores, and spores reproduce!" Chen Qiang said half-truthfully, "Wherever the spores fall, they will grow there."

"It's amazing."

"No," Chen Qiang said leisurely, "it's very rare, hard to find, and, most importantly..."

Chen Qiang took a big breath.

"...it's still delicious."

w(Д)w? !
The "tree" trembled unconsciously...

……

the ancients.

This is the name of this plant race.

I don't know how they call themselves, anyway, human researchers call them "the ancients".

The ancients are the race in the Cthulhu world that dominated the entire earth long before the Cambrian period.Overlord of the ancient earth.The vast majority of life on earth comes from their creation, including the distant ancestors of human beings.

Like all the awesome ancient civilizations in the heavens and myriad worlds, the ancients couldn't find an opponent in the world, so they started to die.

Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, they finally succeeded in killing themselves...

The ancients created the horrible creatures "Shoggoths" that they couldn't even serve. The Shoggoth's rebellion severely damaged them.The Migo family from the universe and the Cthulhu family who rose from the sea-the deep divers also joined the ranks of fighting the ancients. In the end, this race went extinct under the tragic situation of the wall being overthrown by everyone.

There are only a handful of ancients hiding in the dark corners of the earth, tremblingly guarding against the pursuit of the Shoggoths.

The ancients are a plant race with a large size (the average size attribute is 95), but the one in front of them is about the same size as him and Uncle Xu.

Is this just a rare, larval ancient?
Well, living, larval ancients, and legendary investigators are rare beasts that are rarely seen.

The adult elder is stronger than Uncle Xu, but the one in front of him may not be.The attitude of the ancients towards inferior races like human beings may not be called good, but it can't be called bad either. At least it is much better than deep divers, enemies who rely on the master of evil gods and want to counterattack human society.

……

This ancient plant is very aggrieved.

[Chen Qiang's speech skills were successful in 7/71]

It (by the way, the ancients are not divided into males and females) The portal experiment carried out in the morning has almost exhausted the energy reserves, facing the two humans who are now stalking (it has not yet noticed that one is a ghoul) ), it is completely hard to tell.

It doesn't know whether Chen Qiang is really going to eat himself, but judging from the situation of the few humans it successfully coaxed before, it thinks this is really possible!
"This kind of tree is full of treasures." Chen Qiang pointed at the old man, making the old man hairy all over. "Its tentacles have high medicinal value, which is better than those metaphysical health products on the market." It’s so tall that I don’t know where it went; and his tree core, let me tell you, dissection of this thing is a delicate job..."

The Elder: _(Д) What are you going to do to me?
"It's a pity that our family's nutritional requirements are different from human beings," Uncle Xu said enviously, "maybe we can't eat it."

"I remember, Uncle Xu," Chen Qiang said with a smile, "When you eat, you like to add spices occasionally, right?"

"We are not barbaric cannibals!" Uncle Xu said, "We mainly get our nutrition from carrion, but we also have the art of cooking! Listen to me, it's like stinky tofu..."

"See that shorter red tube? The cyst there?"

What do you want to do!That's someone's mouth!You savage tree eaters!The old man's heart is broken.

"I saw it."

"Squeeze it hard and open it," Chen Qiang said solemnly, "you will see a row of white teeth. Just pull them out one by one and collect the pus inside..."

"%^*#$^&*" (Enough of you!)
The old man finally couldn't take it anymore, and jumped up from the ground.That's right, I am very weak now, but if these two daring and inferior races really dare to eat me, I will fight to the death even if I go all out!

Even though he was angry, the ancient man's voice was as crisp and melodious as a flute.It has already learned some Chinese words, but it is very difficult for it to use human language with its vocal organs, so it is speaking its native language at the moment.

Of course, for Chen Qiang who owns a translation headset, this is not a problem.

"It can move!" Uncle Xu immediately protected Chen Qiang behind him.

"Sorry... I don't know, you're still alive," Chen Qiang feigned surprise, "I don't know what you call it, but we won't hurt you."

Through the translation of the mobile phone, Chen Qiang's words were transformed into the melodious flute language of the ancients.
