Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2376 Invisibility cloak?

why is it you again?

Liu Xing looked at Shen Bai lying on the ground and didn't know what to say for a moment, because Liu Xing still remembered that Shen Bai was also fished out of this river a month ago, and these two times Shen Bai was still breathing, but at this time, Shen Bai had more than ten stab wounds on his body, and even a penetrating wound on his stomach, which was obviously the mark left by a spear!

Fortunately, the penetrating injury this time went straight in and out, and did not damage Shen Bai's internal organs. Moreover, Shen Bai, who was lying on the tree trunk, tried to keep the wound as far away from the water as possible before losing consciousness, otherwise he would Now it is impossible to make it to Sweetwater Town.

"Obviously, Shen Bai had a conflict with some people somewhere upstream, and these people should be the same group of guys who littered before. It seems that Shen Bai still wants to catch them all and bring them to justice. Ah, but he still thinks too highly of himself, thinking that he can defeat these enemies all by himself. But it looks like he lost miserably, and he almost turned it in! But his luck is pretty good, he was able to Find a log to support himself, otherwise he will have to fall into the water and feed the fish.”

Seeing Shen Bai being sent to his own hospital, Liu Xing put his hands on his hips and sighed: "But this Shen Bai really has the halo of a protagonist. He was able to escape unscathed in this situation and drifted to Tianshui again. Town, and it happened that I couldn't sleep after being drunk, maybe this is my destiny."

After saying this, Liu Xing felt a slight feeling of sleepiness welling up in his heart, so he went home and tried to sleep again, because it was still a while before dawn.

It seems that the reason why I have been unable to sleep may be that I was affected by the aura of Shen Bai, the protagonist, to ensure that I can save him.

The result was really like this. As soon as the back of Liu Xing's head hit the pillow, he fell asleep directly. However, this time Liu Xing was woken up by Ding Kun before he had time to dream, because the unconscious Shen Bai was older than Liu Xing. Get up earlier.

However, Liu Xing didn't know why at this time, the headaches he had originally had had disappeared, so Liu Xing felt that it was most likely because he rescued the protagonist Shen Bai, and his headaches were directly cured by "God" Already?

 Although it is a bit outrageous, it is quite normal in this martial arts module.

Liu Xing and Ding Kun first went to the cafeteria to drink a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and then went with Ding Kun to see Shen Bai who had just woken up. Yin En and others had already been in the hospital to visit Shen Bai, who had scored twice.

As a martial arts master, Shen Bai's physical fitness is quite good. Although he seemed to be dying when he was rescued, he quickly returned to normal after receiving treatment and can now walk around.

And Shen Bai's experience was just as Liu Xing guessed. After he realized that the group of heretics were doing bad things, he chose to sneak in again. However, he also made a lot of preparations before that, and the result was After entering the place, I found that I was fighting against the air, because all the heretics were gone, and there was nothing worth mentioning left on the scene.

However, these side roads used ox carts when leaving, so the ruts left were still very obvious, so Shen Bai followed the ruts to find the past, and finally found those side roads camping and resting by the river.

Just when Shen Bai thought he was hiding well, he was attacked by a masked man with a gun. Although this masked man was only at the level of a third-rate master, the problem was that this guy's moves were all about exchanging injuries for injuries. A life-threatening fighting style, so Shen Bai could only keep moving and dodging for a while. As a result, he was injured several times by other minions. In the end, he had to choose to escape, because it was impossible to fight at all. No.

Fortunately, there were a few logs placed by someone unknown by the river, so Shen Bai grabbed a log and jumped into the river. However, at the last moment, he was stabbed by the masked man, and Before Shen Bai lost consciousness, he tried his best to change his posture to ensure that his wounds would not attract any flesh-eating fish.

You should know that mullet are quite common in this river.

“Those pieces of wood were not left by the nearby family when they were repairing the house or making furniture, because there is a mark on these pieces of wood.”

Yin En said at this time: "There is a star-like pattern on both sides of this piece of wood. It is definitely not naturally formed, so we must think that this piece of wood belongs to that group of heretics, but the problem is that these The wood looks ordinary and nothing special, so why would the heretics take it with them?"

When Shen Bai heard what Yin En said, he suddenly thought of something, "Yes, the ruts left by those side roads are quite deep, so their cars should be carrying something heavy, and when I find them... I found that the things on these oxcarts didn’t seem too heavy, but if these pieces of wood were put on the oxcart, it would all make sense.”

 “Wood?”

At this moment, Liu Nan, who was watching the excitement on the side, said: "Shen Bai, can you be sure whether these side roads are major roads or small roads? Or are there no roads at all?"

Shen Bai thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, these guys are quite interesting, they dare to walk on the road openly, and if I hadn't been following them all the way, I would have thought they were a group of ordinary traveling businessmen. "

 “Chop!”

Liu Nan said without hesitation: "Since there is nothing wrong with this piece of wood on the surface, there should be something inside this piece of wood!"

Hearing what Liu Nan said, Liu Xing and others did not hesitate, ran directly to find the piece of wood, and split it open with an axe.

There is nothing inside this piece of wood, just a few fat, white worms, which Liu Xingyuan calls maggots PLUS.

"Uh, it's a bit disgusting." Yin En frowned and said: "These bugs look ordinary, like an enlarged version of maggots, but I remember that if there are really bugs growing in the tree, they are not like this. Looks like it?"

"Now that the entire wood has been chopped up, only a few bugs have been found. So even if we think these bugs are not a big deal, they should have been obtained by those outsiders who spent so much time and energy. Something... But, I remember, weren’t these heretics looking for a treasure in a cave? Could it be that the treasure is just these few bugs?”

As Liu Xing spoke, he winked at Yin En and others. The purpose was of course self-evident, which was to let them touch these bugs and see if the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall would give out some information.

But Liu Xing felt a little numb when he saw these squirming insects, so Yin En and others hesitated to move forward at this time.

"Union Leader, you know that if you asked me to challenge a monster at this time, I would just think about it for a moment and then rush forward. But Alliance Leader, if you ask me to study these bugs, then I can only say one thing. Please be wise."

Ding Kun shook his head and said: "So let's let Lei Yang study these bugs? He is an expert in this field. If nothing else, he should be able to figure out what these bugs are!"

Yin En and others on the side saw that Ding Kun had found a scapegoat, so they immediately nodded in agreement, so Liu Xing could only call Lei Yang over.

Anyway, there is nothing urgent to do in the past two days, so Liu Xing and others can afford to wait at this time.

When Lei Yang came and looked at the insects, he held it in for a long time before he couldn't hold it back and said, "Um, is this why you called me here? You are going a little too far."

Liu Xing and others all smiled in unison and didn't say much.

Seeing this situation, Lei Yang could only sigh helplessly, and then reached out and picked up a worm.

As a result, at this time, the caught bug suddenly changed and turned green in an instant. It changed from a maggot to a caterpillar. However, this still frightened Liu Xing and others. I jumped and couldn't help but take a step back!

As for the person involved, Lei Yang also showed extremely high professionalism at this time. He was not so frightened that he threw the bug away. Instead, he showed a "somewhat interesting" expression.

Seeing that there were no NPCs around, Lei Yang said bluntly: "These bugs are the legendary chameleons. They can change their colors according to the surrounding environment, but this color has a certain degree of randomness, so it is possible that they will A green leaf turns blue! As for the use of this chameleon, it is of course crushed like cochineal insects to make dye, and if this dye is matched with suitable fabric, it can be used to make an invisibility cloak. I heard that the effect is quite good, but this is also a legend, so I can’t guarantee the specific situation.”

"Oh? It seems that these heretics are planning to make an invisibility cloak."

Liu Xing shook his head and said: "If I remember correctly, this kind of bug seems to have disappeared many years ago. It is said that it was specially collected by some people and then hidden somewhere? I remember this character card of mine When I saw this story, I felt a little unreasonable, because you have collected these bugs, so why not just use them to make an invisibility cloak, and then hide the invisibility cloak? Wouldn't it be much more convenient? ? After all, although these bugs can't run very far, you still have to feed and drink them. You have to fan them when it's hot in the summer, and you have to heat them when it's cold in the winter. If you're not careful, won't these bugs disappear?"

"Well, these bugs are easy to die suddenly in the legend, but their lifespan is quite long. Anyway, there is no mention in the legend that these bugs will die! And you just need to put these bugs in a relative In a stable environment, as long as the environment they are in does not change too much in a short period of time, such as when you have to go to the bathroom in winter and your area does not provide heating, these bugs will Come and make a comeback."

Lei Yang said seriously: "Judging from the current situation, these woods are the home of these bugs, and the one who collects these bugs is the Fish King, because I have read many miscellaneous books on this character card, including A book dedicated to family emblems and heraldry, so although the five-pointed star mark on this piece of wood has been used by many people, based on our location and the legends related to chameleons, I think this mark is the former dynasty. The Fish King was left behind because the legendary Fish King was killed because of an invisibility cloak."

 “King of Fish?”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, patted his thigh and said: "I see, if it is the Fish King, then all these things make sense! The reason why we thought at the beginning that those heretics were looking for the treasure of the former prince, It was because they were looking for something in a cave, and there was a smelly pool in the cave, and there were a lot of bones around it. This seemed quite scary, but to put it bluntly, it was left by the Fish King. Hidden fish pond!”

In the memory of "Liu Peng", there are many books that record this fish king, and these books all mention that the fish king was a strange thing in the previous dynasty. In short, he was a fish fanatic who liked to raise all kinds of fish at home. Fish, and he did a lot of ridiculous things to raise fish, and even almost transformed a city in the fiefdom into a fish pond, so later generations have forgotten what kind of king he was, so they just called him the Fish King. .

Because the Fish King will do anything for fish, but he will not do things like bullying men and women, buying and selling by force, so the Fish King is portrayed as that kind of person in the folklore related to him. He is a kind-hearted comic character, so he is loved by everyone. However, his end is a bit tragic as Lei Yang said. He suddenly ascended to heaven with his family overnight without any warning. The only thing to be thankful for is But none of them suffered much, their throats were simply sealed with a knife.

As for who was responsible for attacking the Fish King's Mansion, there is still no explanation that can convince the public, because there are a lot of valuable things in the Fish King's Mansion, and all of them were taken away, but these things are thought to be It is not easy to make a move, because people who can afford to buy these things have other ways to get the same items. There is no need to get angry over this. What’s more important is that the fish king did not use these things in exchange for the fish, not to mention the fish. No matter how unreliable the king is, he is still a prince, so the Yuwang Mansion is not something that little thieves can get into.

So now there are two possibilities that are most recognized by everyone. The first one is that the invisibility cloak mentioned by Lei Yang caused the death of the Fish King, because at that time, the only one who owned the invisibility cloak was the Fish King. He is a soft persimmon, and it is easiest to control him.
