Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2460: The Pit Filling Party

Since there is no need to hide things about atmospheric creatures, Liu Xing told Liu Nan the reason why he was injured today. Of course, this was the same version he told Gongzi Ying.

 “Are they those transparent flying monsters again?”

After Liu Nan was silent for a moment, he said: "Actually, I encountered similar monsters when I was young, but I didn't encounter two or three such monsters at that time, but maybe more than three. Several dozen similar monsters appeared in front of me! One of them seemed to me like it was blocking the sky. I couldn't even see the edge of its body at a glance, let alone Tianshui Town! Boyang City, no, even Liang City is not as big as it!"

 Are there any experts?

At this time, a long-awaited mechanical synthesis sounded, "Congratulations to the player for triggering a new hunting mission—Atmospheric Creature. Kunpeng! Because the player has an ongoing hunting mission, the mission will enter the standby state. When the player After completing the current hunting mission, you will directly accept this hunting mission!”

 Atmospheric organisms. Kunpeng? !

In Liu Xing's opinion, this title is more domineering than the mimic plant. King of Beasts, because although the title King of Beasts is also very powerful, the prefix of mimic plant makes it much weaker. After all, plants The weaknesses are too obvious. The biggest problem is that it cannot move, or move quickly. In addition, the fire attack has a damage bonus to plant enemies, so even this fire cannot If this mimic plant is burned completely, it will also be greatly weakened, such as losing some tentacles with bait and the grass that can hide the body.

But this atmospheric creature, Kunpeng, is different. The value of the word "Kunpeng" alone is self-evident. After all, everyone has heard of the classic description of Kunpeng - Kunpeng is so big that it cannot be stewed in one pot. . . . Uh, no, it should be that the Kun was so big that it was thousands of miles away!

Kunpeng took off on the wind in one day and soared ninety thousand miles!

So if he wanted to hunt mimic plants, Liu Xing had some idea and some confidence. But now if he wanted to hunt this atmospheric creature named "Kunpeng", Liu Xing really couldn't think of any way. Deal with this atmospheric creature that may be larger than a city!

More importantly, Liu Xing felt that based on Liu Nan's description, there were hundreds of other atmospheric creatures next to this atmospheric Kunpeng. Therefore, according to the real world, this atmospheric Kunpeng was an aircraft carrier. Although it itself It's just a huge target, but the carrier-based aircraft on it won't chat with you, and the nearby destroyers are not for nothing, so if you want to hunt this atmospheric Kunpeng, you have to face a large group of other atmospheric creatures. .

Just the three atmospheric creatures last night scared Liu Xing enough, so Liu Xing couldn't even imagine how scared he would be if he had to face hundreds of atmospheric creatures.

"Actually, I always thought I was just having a dream, because I went up the mountain to collect medicine that day, and accidentally got separated from other people, so I came to the top of a hill inexplicably, and then I I found a big sinkhole on the top of the mountain, just like you would pile flour together before kneading dough, and then dig a hole in the middle; next to the big hole, I smelled a strange fragrance, I still can't find a suitable adjective for this kind of fragrance, but I think it smells very good. Plus, I was already very tired at the time, and I was even more worried and scared after getting lost, so that's it. Fell asleep, or passed out."

Liu Nan let out a long sigh, shook his head and said: "When I woke up again, it was already the moon and stars were thin, and the crows were flying south in the middle of the night, but I was actually bitten by a mouse and woke up in pain. , after all, you also know that mice are timid, but at certain times they are not generally courageous. As long as they see you sleeping, they dare to come up and bite you, so the Wang Ergou who used to live next door to our house is not A piece of my ear was missing. It was bitten by a mouse when I was a child. I was lucky at the time. I was just bitten on my finger, and then my fingers connected and I woke up immediately, and then I saw it! A group of transparent and flying monsters flew out of the big pit."

"These monsters all look different. In addition to the common fish, there are also creatures similar to birds and animals. For example, I saw a flying transparent monkey. It can fly several times with just one somersault. Mi Yuan! In short, in my opinion, that scene is like a dream. I still dream about this scene sometimes. Of course, I was also fascinated by it at the time, because you can imagine a group of transparent people. Creatures were flying in the wind in mid-air, and they became golden under the moonlight; most importantly, the oversized transparent monster I just told you about also passed by my head at this time, and at the same time, those from The transparent monster that emerged from the top of the mountain also flew towards the big monster like a swallow returning to its nest. "

“It seems that those transparent monsters can’t fly in the sky all the time, so they have to find a suitable place to stay in the sky, and those huge transparent monsters take on this task.”

Even with only one hand, Liu Xing could still touch his chin and say: "As far as I know, sinkholes like this usually produce a lot of updrafts, just like the stoves we use for cooking at home. When the bellows are turned on, The air brought in will fly upward from the bottom of the stove! Therefore, these transparent creatures may be trying to take off with the help of the updraft in the sinkhole, so the atmospheric creatures you saw at that time may have just left their nests. chicks, and that oversized transparent monster is here to pick them up?”

"Maybe, but I didn't know why at the time. Maybe I was quietly influenced by a certain monster, so I fell asleep again and didn't wake up until noon the next day! After I woke up, I found that everything around me was normal, so I thought those flying transparent monsters were just a dream I had, after all, I didn’t know that such transparent monsters existed in the world at that time.”

Liu Nan took a sip of water, shook his head and said, "But that mountain disappeared more than ten years ago because a strange sect called the Hole Filling Sect filled up the mountain! To be honest , I have never been able to figure out what the existence of this pit-filling group is. The only thing they can do is to fill up all the sinkholes, but the big potholes on the roadside do not arouse their interest. "

The pit-filling sect that Liu Nan talks about is indeed the weirdest of the sects in the New Dragon Empire, because this sect does not even have a serious station. After all, everyone in the sect is either filling in holes or filling in pits. Just on the way to filling the hole!

Moreover, the pit-filling faction can only fill one kind of pit, and that is the so-called sinkhole.

In this martial arts module, a sinkhole specifically refers to a sinkhole that must have a radius of more than ten meters and a depth of more than fifty meters to be considered a sinkhole. However, it does not meet this standard, or it only reaches one of the standards. It can only be regarded as a big pit.

As for why there is such a strange standard, it is because the New Dragon Emperor feels that since the tiankeng has the word "天", it cannot just turn all big pits into tiankeng, so a standard must be established. . As for why the pit-filling sect works tirelessly to fill those sinkholes, the main reason is that the founder of the sect believes that these sinkholes are the birthplaces of those monsters. Therefore, if these sinkholes are not filled up, then the monsters will continue to grow. Keep popping up.

Of course, what the pit-filling faction did was a bit of a slap in the face of the New Dragon Emperor. After all, when the New Dragon Emperor formulated the standards, he sealed these large pits that met the standards as tiankeng. As a result, these tiankeng were The hole-filling party was directly filled up, which must have been a bit disrespectful to the new Dragon Emperor.

However, the reasons given by the pit-filling faction can still be recognized by many people, so it is not easy for the new Dragon Emperor to take action against the pit-filling faction.

Of course, the Hollow Filling Sect is a wandering sect, and they go deep into the mountains and old forests when they have nothing to do. At the same time, they stay in the mountains for years, so even the new Dragon Emperor has a hard time determining the specific location of the Hollow Filling Sect.

But having said that, at this time Liu Xing felt that this disciple of the hole-filling sect was not ordinary perseverance, because after rough calculation, it would take at least more than 15,000 cubic meters to fill a hole. of soil and rocks.

Under normal circumstances, one cubic meter of earth and rock would weigh one or two tons, not to mention that if you want to fill these sinkholes, you have to transport the earth and rocks from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, so Liu Xing thinks that the mountain filling faction wants to fill a sinkhole. The amount of work may be greater than building a smaller pyramid.

But then again, if what Liu Nan saw and heard that day is true, then the pit-filling faction can be regarded as an accident, using all the operations originally aimed at Warcraft on atmospheric creatures!

Although atmospheric creatures have not done many bad things in history, the destructive power of atmospheric creatures is really comparable to Warcraft, so Liu Xing feels that if he is an NPC in this martial arts module, he must support it. The pit-filling faction filled up all those sinkholes.

However, in Liu Xing’s view, this weird pit-filling school may also be the modder’s trick, because a survey shows that no matter what field the author is in, there is a 99% chance that he will do it intentionally or unintentionally. Digging holes, and these holes will be forgotten by the author intentionally or unintentionally, especially in some long works, it is already very good to have about half of these holes filled.

Logically speaking, the amount of text in Cthulhu Run game modules is generally not too large, because there are so many hyperlinks available in the module, and most modules are linear processes, so the module If the team author takes the initiative to dig holes, he should fill them in later. After all, if you don't fill the holes, the plot of this module will not make sense. . . As for the mod author, if he dug a hole unintentionally, or there was a bug, he could use Nyarlathotep's name to solve the problem.

As long as there are some unsolvable problems in the Cthulhu Running Game, then Nyarlathotep can stand up and take the blame. After all, Nyarlathotep is a fun person and a very capable fun person. Man, its actions are reasonable without any logic.

So is this pit-filler being used by the modder to make fun of himself, or to mock his colleagues?

Looking at Liu Xing who suddenly fell into deep thought, Liu Nan sighed and said to himself: "If I guessed correctly, the current pit-filling sect is near Tianshui Town, because there is a precise one directly opposite Tianshui Town. .Sinkholes are the kind of sinkholes that are almost up to standard, but to be honest, no one usually determines whether a big hole is a sinkhole, so the hole-filling faction will fill the big hole. It's also normal! What's more important is that on this day last year, a man came to the medical center and bought a lot of medicine. I knew at first glance that this man was a martial arts master, but he looked like the kind of person who lived in the open all year round and was worried about eating and drinking. Looks like this, so I can only think of three words - pit-filling faction."

Liu Xing was not distracted at this time, he was just thinking about the logic of the action of the pit-filling faction. Anyway, he was bedridden now, so he could pass the time by thinking more about the problem and stretch his brain.

So when Liu Nan mentioned what happened a year ago, Liu Xing immediately thought of the person Liu Nan mentioned.

Although this man looked slovenly and no different from a beggar, he casually took out a few silver coins from his arms and threw them neatly on the counter several meters away. , and at the same time, he told the medicinal materials he needed in a loud voice, so he looked like a martial arts master at a glance.

However, there is no beggar gang in this martial arts module. After all, everyone has no worries about food and drink, so who would want to be a beggar?

Of course, there are still beggars in this martial arts module.

Therefore, martial arts masters with this kind of appearance are not common in this martial arts module, and can even be said to be unique. Therefore, it is really not a random guess to say that he is a trap-filler, let alone this person is a one-timer. The purchase of a large amount of herbal medicine showed that he was not acting alone.

Moreover, Liu Xing could still remember those herbs that person bought at this time, so based on these herbs, he could be more certain that that person was a member of the Pit Filling Sect, because these herbs were used to repel insects, relieve itching, and prevent heatstroke. , it is not difficult to see that this man and his unseen teammates are preparing to stay in the wild for a long time.

But this is not important. What is important is that when this person saw "Liu Peng", his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately came up and wanted to take "Liu Peng" away, but was stopped by Liu Nan in the end.

“Apeng, you almost joined the pit-filling faction back then.”
