Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2360 Lichen?

Liu Xing and others immediately ran over, and they also showed a rather worried expression, because after they received the system prompt, they knew that there should be no anacondas and crocodiles in this river. After all, there were all those nearby. It only mimics the territory of plants, so it will definitely not tolerate apex predators like anacondas wandering around in its territory. Therefore, Liu Xing and others believe that there are no other apex predators nearby, and even There are no carnivores, because the apex predators in nature will not allow other carnivores to compete with them on their territory.

Therefore, in the opinion of Liu Xing and others, although there are many wild beasts in this area, they are actually just part of the mimic plant. Therefore, when crossing the somewhat wide river, Liu Xing and others On the surface he was panicking, but on the inside he was as steady as an old dog.

After crossing the river safely, Liu Xing and others felt more at ease, because whether it is in game design or biological habits in the real world, the animal's activity area will be bounded by the river, because the river water can take away the smell left by other animals. , so the land on the other side of the river is an insurmountable gap for animals. After all, there is a completely unfamiliar land on the other side of the river.

But Yu Lei didn't know this, so he was still cautiously clearing the way for Liu Xing and others. This made Liu Xing feel a little embarrassed, but Liu Xing didn't know how to reveal the news to Yu Lei. It was impossible. He said that he had received the oracle from Canglong in the East Palace with divine help, right?

 Eh, it doesn’t seem impossible?

Liu Xing suddenly realized that he could really do this at this time, because doing so could also cooperate with Dong Qian to build momentum for himself. After all, as a divine envoy, of course he could receive instructions from the gods at any time, or the envoy could not receive instructions from the gods. That’s weird!

 So Liu Xing hurriedly took two steps and said directly to Lei: "Brother Yu, have you heard of the legendary King of Beasts?"

"The King of Beasts, isn't that a tiger? No, the King of Beasts you are talking about is the mysterious being in the folklore who is worshiped by all the beasts? Wait, I remember that in that folklore, those beasts They seem to be larger than their counterparts, and this folk legend happened near Boyang City!"

Yu Lei took a deep breath, and his expression became more solemn, "Are we passing through the territory of the King of Beasts? Then this is not good news, because like this King of Beasts can make other beasts surrender. , whose intelligence level is no worse than that of ordinary people like us! You must know that a few decades ago, a desert wolf king appeared in the great desert in the west, and it recruited all the wild wolves in the desert under its command. , so caravans at that time often encountered packs of more than a hundred wolves, and there was even an oasis with thousands of desert wolves! You must know that before this, the largest wolf pack a caravan had ever encountered was only more than thirty. Only."

"So the new Dragon Emperor ordered a team of people to deal with this wolf king. Among them, there were ten first-rate masters alone, and the total number of second-rate and third-rate masters was over a hundred, as well as a spear consisting of five hundred elite soldiers. It took almost a year to get rid of the Desert Wolf King, because this Desert Wolf King can really be described as turning like the wind! And before dying, this Desert Wolf King also brought A first-class master was gone, and there were hundreds of casualties. This shocked the new Dragon Emperor, because no one thought that these beasts would be so difficult to deal with, so now every five years , there will be a special team going to the desert to deal with the alpha wolves who may become the wolf king."

Having said this, Yu Lei suddenly used Qing Kung Fu and jumped to a tree. After making sure that there was no strange movement around, he came down and continued: "Hundreds of years ago, there was a king of beasts who led Wild beasts within a hundred miles radius attacked a city, turning the entire city into a dead city! You must know that in relevant records, when a caravan came to the city to do business, they smelled a There was an unspeakable stench, and after that, three-quarters of the people in the caravan were frightened crazy by the sight before them! You can imagine that the entire city was filled with the remains of people and various animals, so this The final result of the city was that it was directly bulldozed."

Speaking of this, Yu Lei pointed at his feet and said: "I don't know why, but everything in this city was deliberately wiped out. As for the king of beasts, there was no trace after that, so some people suspected that I wonder whether this King of Beasts really exists, but if the King of Beasts does not exist, it would not be easy to explain everything that happened in this city! Therefore, the legend of the King of Beasts you mentioned by Apeng, The basis of existence is this legend, otherwise if a drunkard is dazzled while rushing in the middle of the night, the stories he tells will not become folklore no matter how bizarre they are."

“Brother Yu, you mean that the city is actually under our feet?!” Liu Xing said in surprise.

Seeing Yue Shao and others following up, Yu Lei nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I thought, because that city is obviously close to a mountain forest, otherwise it wouldn't be the target of the King of Beasts. The second thing is that you all know Apeng, that is, Far West City and Boyang City were only established in the past hundred years, so before these two cities appeared, there was not even a city in such a large area. There are only a few small towns, which is obviously unreasonable! Because there are a lot of flat lands and lakes in this area, logically speaking, this must be a good place to build a city. Of course, the same was true for the first generation lord of Boyang City. Thought."

When Liu Xing heard what Yu Lei said, a map appeared in his mind. Then Liu Xing removed Boyang City and Far West City from the map, and found that there was an obvious "bald patch" on the map.

 This is obviously unreasonable.

"But this is not a problem we should consider yet, so we still have to find the blue fireball first! And this may be the territory of the King of Beasts, so we still can't stay here for a long time! In short, we have to speed up now! "

After Yu Lei said this, he began to quicken his pace, and Liu Xing and others also followed Yu Lei in a trot. Because Yu Lei seemed to be walking, but his pace was still a little too fast, so Liu Xing and others People can only run.

Because the weather was a bit hot, Liu Xing, who was not in good physical condition, soon began to pant. When Yue Shao saw this, he supported Liu Xing, allowing Liu Xing to barely keep up with everyone.

Fortunately, after running like this for more than ten minutes, Liu Xing saw thick smoke not far away.

“Fortunately, this blue fireball did not fall behind this mountain. We don’t need to go over the mountains anymore.”

Yu Lei saw that everyone except Yue Shao looked bad now, so he stopped and said: "I remember Yue Shao, your strength is pretty good, and we should have left the territory of the King of Beasts. , because there are no longer those giant beasts after we cross the river, so there should not be much danger around here! So I will go up first to see what Xia Fei finds, and you can just come up slowly."

Without waiting for Liu Xing and others to reply, Yu Lei directly used Qing Kung Fu to "fly" out. Liu Xing could also understand Yu Lei's current mood, because at this time Yu Lei was like a student waiting for test results. If If his grades were not ideal, he wouldn't even have the chance to enter the factory to make screws. Therefore, no matter how calm Yu Lei looked on the surface, he would already be worried in his heart.

Liu Xing and others were not in a hurry at this time and slowed down their pace.

"I think this mimic plant should be more difficult to hunt than ordinary Warcraft, because it is called a legendary creature! And if nothing else, this mimic plant has existed for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years. There were no magical beasts at that time."

Yang De said as he walked: "Judging from the current situation, the action method of this mimic plant is quite classic. The ends of the tentacles, or vines, will be baits with various animal images, and they can move within a certain range. However, these baits may not have any attack power, so we were so close to the anaconda and crocodile at that time, and it did not even attack! Moreover, the bait part of this mimic plant may not feel pain, so the leader turned the peacock into a senior , that peacock is still dancing there." "Ah? It's been more than ten years, why are you still playing senior sister jokes?"

Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "But this is not important. What is important is that when I hit the target, I did not directly enter the battle round, and there was no calculation of the damage value, so this means that although the bait is also the mimic plant It is a part of the plant, but it is as dispensable as our human appendix, so being attacked will not affect the body; then the problem is back, the coverage area of ​​this mimic plant may be very large, and we don’t know what its body is. Big trees are still tuber plants buried underground, which are potatoes, sweet potatoes and the like.”

 “Is it possible that it’s a lichen?”

At this moment, a strange voice sounded, which startled Liu Xing and others.

The next second, Ding Kun emerged from the grass nearby with a few strangers. They all looked very embarrassed. Not only were they all gray and dirty, but they were also in ragged clothes.

 “Lao Liu, you are back.”

Ding Kun said with a smile: "When I saw the alliance interface changed, I knew you had returned to Sweetwater Town. And the moment I saw the blue fireball, I also knew you would come to see what was going on. .”

Liu Xing also smiled and introduced the players behind him to Ding Kun.

 The player who just spoke is the only biologist in the alliance.

“This is the leader of our expedition team—Lei Yang. He has discovered several new plants in the past two days.”

Ding Kun pointed to the grass they had just emerged from and said, "We were resting behind this grass just now, and then we heard what you mentioned about a mimic plant, Old Liu, and this mimic plant can also bring its own bait like a lantern fish. ?”

Liu Xing nodded and told him about the mimetic plant, the king of beasts, including of course the story Yu Lei told about hundreds of years ago.

In addition, Liu Xing also smoothly recruited Ding Kun and others into his hunting team, because Ding Kun and others are indeed the best hunting group in the alliance, not to mention that Lei Yang is still a member of his own team. Professionals in urgent need.

"Leader, the big trees and potatoes and sweet potatoes you just mentioned are very common plants. That's why I mentioned lichen. Even if you see it, you may not care about its existence because it is too inconspicuous. ”

Lei Yang said seriously: "Common lichens look like miniature versions of fungus, so they are eaten as wild vegetables in some places. However, it is not easy to find lichens in such a weedy wilderness. After all, As the name suggests, lichens are the clothes of the earth, so lichens always lie on the ground or on rocks; and lichens can theoretically grow very large, or in other words, they can cover a large area and form a large area with other plants. A very subtle symbiotic relationship, for example, the weeds in front of us may grow on lichens, or these weeds are also imitations of lichens!”

Liu Xing and others were shocked when they heard Lei Yang's bold guess, because if Lei Yang's guess was correct, then hunting this mimic plant might be more difficult than imagined.

But before Liu Xing and others said anything, they had already arrived at the place where the blue fireball fell. At this time, Xia Fei and Yu Lei were squatting there and studying a black "stone".

When Liu Xing came to this "stone", he discovered that it was actually a molten unknown metal, or an alloy, because upon closer inspection, the black color of the alloy was actually colorful black.

Seeing this, Liu Xing and other players determined that the prototype of this blue fireball should be an artificial satellite, or some kind of aircraft, which suddenly fell due to some reasons, and may have triggered an automatic explosion during the fall. It destroyed the program, so it transformed into a blue fireball, and was finally melted into such an unknown alloy.

Liu Xing stepped forward and tried to touch the alloy, and found that it was not a prop.

This is a bit wrong, because Liu Xing had speculated before that this blue fireball should turn into a prop after landing, allowing the third prince to get a trump card that could make a comeback.

It turns out that this thing is not even a prop, it can only be regarded as a piece of metal material that looks good. So, can this thing be used to forge a few magic weapons, so that several masters under the third prince can have the ability to kill monsters at a higher level?

That’s not very reliable either.

 For a while, Liu Xing also began to feel confused.
