Real Cthulhu Running Game

   "Luo Tiedan's wife really has a problem."

Meng Fugui frowned and said: "After they came to Tianshui Town, I heard that Luo Tiedan's wife has always been out of the house, but she occasionally sings some strange songs at home. The troupe that the leader called before could not hear what she was singing; so judging from the current situation, we have reason to suspect that the source of this smell may be related to Luo Tiedan's wife, maybe he or it came to find Luo Tiedan Tiedan's wife, and Luo Tiedan's wife left Tianshui Town with Luo Tiedan after realizing that something was wrong."

As soon as Meng Fugui finished speaking, Yin En shook his head and said, "But I think Luo Tiedan and his wife didn't panic at all when they left. They not only packed their clothes, but also took away all the chickens, ducks and geese at home. , and the whole process did not make much noise, you must know that those chickens, ducks and geese are noisier than each other; the most important thing is that there are more than ten chickens, ducks and geese, the weight is not light, and it is not A back basket can hold it, so I think Luo Tiedan and his wife may have already prepared for it."

Liu Xing rubbed his nose, nodded and said: "Anyway, the culprit of all this should be Luo Tiedan's wife, so Luo Tiedan must have lied to us before, and what we know about him The wife's information should be all false! Then the question arises, why is Luo Tiedan's wife doing such a gunshot, and she left Tianshui Town in just a few days? Could it be that she is also a subordinate of the former prince, and this time she came Is Tianshui Town just for the purpose of inquiring about news? That wouldn’t make so many moths, would it?”

  Yin En wanted to say something, but he coughed because of the smell, and this made Liu Xing want to cough twice.

At this time, Yu Lei also came over with Xia Fei, "Young Master Ying has already sent people to investigate the situation, so A Peng, you only need to send people to check the situation in the north, that is to say, the beast is falling into the ground." Because the terrain of the Dungeon beast is really big, we can only choose local materials and take away all the useful things on the Dungeon beast, but we also leave such a large piece of meat Bones, it is indeed possible to attract certain beasts."

  Hearing what Yu Lei said, Liu Xing felt the direction of the wind subconsciously, and found that the wind was indeed blowing from the north.

   Could this be the smell left by the Dungeon Beast?

Now that Yu Lei has said so, he must know that Liu Xing and others will think so, so he said in advance: "This smell may be related to the beast, but the possibility of this is actually not high, because at this time Although the Dungeon Beast has turned into a skeleton, this skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it can already intimidate those ordinary beasts; and other monsters passing by will not be interested in it. It is because most of the monsters do not have night vision ability like bat wolves, and secondly, the conflicts between monsters basically come from fighting for territory, and it is rare for a monster to prey on another monster."

  Hearing this, Liu Xing suddenly thought of the four-winged giant eagle again, because it might be a strange beast among the monsters, after all, it might be the only scavenger among the monsters.

So is there such a possibility, that is, when the four-winged giant eagle passed through Tianshui Town in the evening, it discovered the existence of the bone-in meat of the Dungeon beast brand, so it wanted to make the bone-in meat more "flavorful", so it How many hours did you wait for your meal?

Although this guess is a bit outrageous, Liu Xing thinks it is the most reliable guess at present. After all, if you rule out other possibilities, then no matter how unbelievable or inexplicable the remaining possibilities make you feel, it is also the truth of the matter .

   Moreover, Liu Xing has also heard that scavengers have relatively loud breaths. After all, the food they eat has been fully fermented, and they don't usually brush their teeth or rinse their mouths, so it is normal to have a bad breath.

  Is this the truth of the matter?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing said to Lei: "To be on the safe side, let's check the location where the Dungeon Beast fell, but now there are still two villagers missing, and we have reason to suspect that they may have the same relationship with this It is related to the smell that suddenly appeared this time, so I ask Brother Xia to bring a few people to investigate this matter."

  Xia Fei just nodded, Yin En stood up as his guide and took him to Luo Tiedan's house, wanting to see if he could find other clues.

  As for Liu Xing, he went with Yu Lei to the place where the Dungeon Beast fell, or Yu Leiti led Liu Xing all the way forward.

   At this time, Liu Xing once again wanted to learn Qinggong, because it was so useful.

   And when Liu Xing and two arrived at the destination, they saw that the Dungeon Beast had disappeared, not even a single bone was left.

   "What? Someone really, no, it should be a monster who took the bone of the Dungeon?"

Yu Lei looked around, and then said puzzledly: "If all this is man-made, then there will definitely be traces left on the ground, so now we can rule out that it is someone else who took the bones of the Dungeon Beast, because there are people around here. There are only traces left by us, unless these people follow the traces to the direction of Sweetwater Town first, and then find an opportunity to escape, but this is not necessary; These bones are not suitable for processing into weapons or armor, because these bones are too brittle."

At this time, Liu Xing was already sure that the bones of the Earth-Dressing Beast were taken away by the four-winged giant eagle, because as Yu Lei said, there were no other traces around here, which meant that the Earth-Dressing Beast It is impossible for the bones of the four-winged eagle to be dragged away by people or monsters; and Liu Xing noticed that the nearby grass has fallen to the surroundings, which may be caused by the blowing of the four-winged giant eagle when it **** its wings to land or take off. The strong wind blows these weeds to the ground.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing said: "Brother Yu, do you still remember that giant four-winged eagle that flew over suddenly when we were going to play football in the evening? I suspect it took away the treasures of these burrowing beasts." The bone, because its size is not small, is fully capable of taking away these bones! And because it can fly, it will not leave any traces on the ground."

Yu Lei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, how could I have forgotten about the giant four-winged eagle? So what does it do with the bones of these escaping beasts? It won't be so despondent as to eat the meat left on the bones, right? Then its status in my heart may drop several notches."

   Liu Xing didn't know what to say for a while, because there was no vulture in "Liu Peng"'s memory. After all, vultures generally live in high mountains and hilly areas, so they were not distributed under the rule of the third prince.

   "But having said that, the smell here is still as stinky as ever, and the giant four-winged eagle also directly took away the bones of these Dungeon beasts, so this is not the source of the smell."

Yu Lei looked around, and then jumped onto a big tree. Even so, Yu Lei didn't think it was tall enough, so he jumped on the top of the tree twice, and even made a big move with his left foot on the right. trick!

   I have to say that in this martial arts module, stepping on the right foot with the left foot can really jump up.

   This is unscientific!

   But that's enough martial arts.

  Surprised Liu Xing waited for Yu Lei to come back, and asked impatiently, "Brother Yu, did you find anything?"

Yu Lei, who was panting, nodded first, and then waited for a while before saying: "Sure enough, it is similar to what I thought. As long as you stand high enough, you won't be able to smell this smell! What does this mean, it means This smell is accumulated on the ground... I suddenly thought of one thing, that is, several years ago, Heluo City, thousands of miles away, received a message, so Wutai took the local sect together to wipe out it There is a heresy named Baigudong, and there is an indescribable stench in this Baigudong."

"The most important thing is that I don't know why this smell is. You can't smell anything when you are at the entrance of the cave, but after you go in and walk down a few steps, you can smell this stench, and the further you go down The smell gets worse when you walk; as the saying goes, the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. It stands to reason that such a strong smell should have come out of the unsheltered cave long ago? So the Wutai in Heluo City specially carried out After investigation, I found that those heretics have developed a powder that can adhere to odors, which looks like plant ash, and only a small amount can make all the odors in your room, Ah Peng, adhere to it."

  Activated carbon?

Liu Xing thought of these three words subconsciously, because Liu Xing had seen some advertisements before saying that activated carbon can remove odors, and the principle is that the structure of activated carbon itself can absorb various tiny molecules, and the essence of taste is the essence of various odors. kind of molecules.

  So that heretic researched activated carbon? But judging from Yu Lei's description, those powders similar to plant ash are more powerful than activated carbon in removing odors.

"So it's possible that some people used these powders to absorb a lot of odors in order to do certain things, and then found a place to sprinkle them out after dark, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating the odor, because No matter whether these odor-absorbing powders are burned again or directly buried in the soil, it will still emit a continuous odor!"

Speaking of this, Yu Lei left Liu Xing's sight with just a few jumps, which shocked Liu Xing, after all, it was not yet dawn, and the moonlight was hazy because it was blocked by clouds The most important thing is that he didn't bring a torch when he came, so letting Liu Xing stay alone in this wilderness, it is inevitable that he will be a little scared.

   Fortunately, Yu Lei went and came back quickly.

   "We can go back, now I have found the source of this smell, and why this smell lingers around Sweetwater for a long time."

Yu Lei smiled, shook his head and said: "Actually, if we had checked the river for the first time, we would have found the source of the smell! Because I found a few suspicious small cloth bags by the river not far away, Then these small cloth bags contain the powder I just mentioned, and those heretics call it plant ash; so if there is no accident, as I just said, some people in the upstream have used a lot of plant ash, Then, in order to get rid of all the plant ash, I thought of throwing these small cloth bags into the river."

"Since the plant ash can absorb the smell, if it is left idle in an open place, it can also emit the smell continuously. In the end, the plant ash has no peculiar smell like ordinary plant ash, but this process may take a long time, every ten and a half days It won't dissipate for a month; but if you put the plant ash into the water, then the water can also isolate the odor to a certain extent, and it can also make the plant ash emit the smell continuously. This process takes about 20 minutes. About a day."

"These are the data obtained by the Wutai in Heluo City after experiments. Of course, these data may not be completely reliable, because those guys have only done one side of the experiment. After all, the plant ash is really smelly... All in all, the plant ash in this small cloth bag should correspond to a room, or the peculiar smell that can be produced in a certain period of time in a closed space, so adding up these small cloth bags should be able to deduce how big the closed space is, And when did the owners of these little cloth bags start doing this."

  By the moonlight, Liu Xing could see that Yu Lei's expression had become very serious.

"That is to say, except for a small number of cloth bags that were hung by the river while going down the river, most of the other cloth bags were stopped by our fishing nets? That's why this smell will stay near Tianshui Town, And it directly envelops Tianshui Town, so we can't determine the source of this smell, after all, we are in it!" Liu Xing said with a frown.

   "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, only because I am in this mountain."

Yu Lei sneered and said: "These guys are also good at calculating. They wanted to use the river to send all these bags away. Even if one or two bags will run aground when the river bends, it won't cause too many people. attention, because after the river next to Tianshui Town, it still needs to drift for hundreds of miles to reach the next town, and even if the town finds these bags, it will be difficult to find the owners of these bags.”

   "That is to say, the owners of these cloth bags may not know that Tianshui Town is already inhabited, so they deliberately put the cloth bags into the river."
