That's a great thing.

Liu Xing knew that now "Ishikawa Ling" had reached a new stage of loyalty to himself, so he would give him the Guardian Stone, which also meant that even if he gave "Ishikawa Ling" an order to send him to death, "Ishikawa Ling" should choose to obey his fate.

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Xing to let "Ishikawa Ling" send him to death, after all, Liu Xing doesn't want Yin En to come and PK with him.

Although Liu Xing still wants this guardian stone very much, after all, the effect of the guardian stone is very good, and if it is used well, it is equivalent to an extra life, but Liu Xing also knows that Yin En should not really want to give this guardian stone to himself, but he is limited by the loyalty of "Ishikawa Ling", so he has to hand over the guardian stone to himself.

Therefore, a gentleman does not take advantage of others, and Liu Xing does not want to bully others with "power", so as not to affect his relationship with Yin En.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing returned the Guardian Stone to Ishikawa Ling, and said: "This stone should be handed over to Ishikawa Ling to carry it, after all, in the next action against the mythical creatures in Panlong Town, Ishikawa Ling you are our main output, and it is very likely that you will also become the target of those mythical creatures, so for the sake of insurance, it is better for you to hold this stone or Ishikawa Ling." ”

Ishikawa Ling took the Guardian Stone and said with a smile: "How is this good, the importance factor of your life safety is much higher than mine, after all, we can worship the Yellow Coat Sect without anyone, but we can't do without you, Sect Master." ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, this Ishikawa Ling is really a drama master.

However, Liu Xing also had to accompany Ishikawa Ling to finish the play, "It's okay, I believe Ishikawa Ling will protect me, so the effect of this stone on you will come into play, okay Ishikawa Ling, you don't have to shirk, this stone is decided to be kept by you, because this is the order of the sect leader, so Ishikawa Ling must obey!" ”

As a result, the Guardian Stone returned to Ishikawa Ling's hands.

Ishikawa Ling, who took back the Guardian Stone, suddenly said seriously: "By the way, Sect Master, I asked from Serac about the possible causes of the time-space disorder, so I personally think that the current appearance of Beaulieu Town is most likely not caused by Graki, because after fighting with the black dragon, the injured Graki should not have the ability to turn Beaulong Town into an independent space." ”

Liu Xing frowned, and said, "Oh, then Ishikawa Ling, tell me about the information you heard from Serak." ”

Ishikawa Ling nodded and continued: "According to Serak, if you want to turn a territory the size of Panlong Town into an independent space, you first need the caster's own strength to be strong enough, if there are no props to assist, only the existence of the old ruler level can create an independent space with its own strength, and it must also be an old ruler in its heyday, because if you want to create an independent space, you will consume a lot of magic power at the beginning, And Grachi, who was already seriously injured at that time, probably didn't have enough magic. ”

"The second is about Gracchi, Serac has studied many old rulers, and has also told me and Ibonn a lot of stories about the old rulers, including Gracchi, because Gracchi was already a very active old ruler in ancient times, and has appeared in Hiberil many times, and Serac has also seen Gracchi by chance, to be exact, it should be Gracchi's doppelganger, because Serac once summoned Zatgua once in a sacrificial ritual to Zatgua."

"At that time, Zatgua introduced many situations to Serac about the old rulers, including Graki, the Graki in Zatgua's mouth is just like the sect master, you know, like to use immortality as a condition to attract humans to become its believers, but Gracchi basically will not choose to come forward in person to collect believers, so in most cases, Gracchi sends a clone to collect believers, so I think the Gracchi in Beaulong Town should be just a clone."

"Therefore, a seriously injured clone of the Old Ruler should not have the ability to turn Panlong Town into this ghost, so I think that unless it is Graki's deity, the culprit who turned Panlong Town into an independent space should be someone else, and this person is likely to be an existence of the Old Dominator level, of course, this is just my personal speculation, just for your reference."

Hearing this, Liu Xing understood that Ishikawa Ling was hinting that Naiarathotep was behind the scenes.

However, this also reminded Liu Xing of the mysterious statue under the ground of the junior high school in Panlong Town, about which Liu Xing has not yet told Zhang Jingxu and others, because in Liu Xing's opinion, this matter should be regarded as the hidden task of this mod.

Regarding the introduction of the hidden task, Liu Xing also saw it from the hard drive that Yin En gave him.

In the Cthulhu Run game, there are also a lot of hidden missions, and these hidden missions are also divided into two categories, one is the hidden mission related to this mod, and the other is the hidden mission that has nothing to do with this mod.

The first type of hidden quests, generally speaking, will involve the true ending of this mod, because the mod ending of the Cthulhu Run game is actually divided into four endings - normal ending, good ending, bad ending and true ending, if the player follows the process completely and only completes the main quest, it will basically only trigger the normal ending, and the good ending and bad ending require players to complete certain side quests to ensure that some NPCs survive or die at the end.

And if the player wants to trigger the true ending, they must discover and complete the hidden tasks in the mod, which can potentially trigger the true ending of the mod.

Just like Liu Xing's own experience of the first official mod - the castle lord, the normal ending is that the player desperately resists after discovering that the castle lord and the ghoul are preparing to attack his group, although there are some casualties, but still successfully escapes from the castle; The good ending is the ending that Liu Xing completed at that time, after discovering the true identity of the castle lord, the player does not fight the castle lord and the ghoul, and escapes directly and smoothly from the castle; The bad ending is that the player escapes from the castle after being attacked by the castle lord and ghouls... Or didn't escape the castle.

As for the true ending of the castle lord mod, you have to trigger the hidden quest first, and this hidden quest should be related to Elizabeth, and nine times out of ten it is necessary for the player to find out Elizabeth's true identity, and then find a way to leave the castle and bring the castle lord and Elizabeth to justice.

And it is worth mentioning that as long as the true ending of the mod is completed, then players can also get a lot of additional rewards, plus the rewards that come with the hidden mission, it can be said that the clearance reward of the true ending is more than twice as much as the clearance reward of other endings.

Of course, according to relevant statistics, only 1 in 10 mods may have true endings, so the number of hidden quests in the second category is much higher than in the first category.

Hidden tasks that have nothing to do with the mod can basically be understood as the "fuse" of the next mod, for example, Liu Xing heard in the forum that some players have completed such a hidden task - the main task of the original module is to investigate the raw materials of an emerging cosmetics company, and it turned out that the raw materials of this cosmetics company involved a mythical creature, and then after defeating the mythical creature, when the module was about to be cleared, a player found that someone was spying on them, All the players then trigger and complete the hidden quest, catch the person who spied on them, and then in the next mod, the players get together again to continue the quest to track down the organization that gave the mythical creature to the cosmetics company.

Therefore, although Liu Xing now thinks that as long as he goes to find the statue on the ground of the junior high school in Panlong Town, he should be able to trigger a hidden mission, but Liu Xing is not sure what type of hidden mission this hidden mission is.

However, no matter what type of hidden quest it is, it is not easy to complete, after all, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is very likely that this statue involves at least one Old Ruler-level existence.

So, this hidden task is definitely high-risk and high-reward.

Do you want to die or not?

Liu Xing thought about it while telling Ishikawa Ling about the statue, after all, if he wanted to trigger this side quest, he would definitely pull Ishikawa Ling.

After listening to Liu Xing's story, Ishikawa Ling frowned and said: "If this is the case, then it is certain that the person who buried the statue is at least an existence at the level of an old ruler, so the appearance of this ghost in Panlong Town is either related to the person who buried the statue, or it is related to this statue, after all, a statue like this is very likely to have great power." ”

Liu Xing nodded, and said with a smile: "There is indeed such a possibility, but according to Hu Li's description, I'm afraid we can't dig up that statue, so it's good that Ishikawa Ling knows about this matter, and there is no need to tell anyone else." ”

Ishikawa Ling touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "This is not necessarily, we still have a chance to dig up this statue, although this statue is buried very deeply, but in the magic book I took out just now, there is a spell whose effect is comparable to that of an excavator, so if you want, sect leader, I will start learning that spell, and I should be able to learn that spell in ten days." ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that there was a spell used to dig the ground.

However, Liu Xing was still a little worried and said: "That statue may release magic fluctuations, which will have a huge impact on people's mental state, so Ishikawa Ling, do you have any ways to prevent it?" If not, let's not take any chances. ”

Ishikawa Ling frowned, thought for a while and said: "This is a big trouble, but if this statue is as Hu Li said, it only emits magic fluctuations at night, then we can still gamble and dig up that statue during the day, anyway, the big deal is to die, and in a few days it will be a good man." ”

Hearing Ishikawa Ling say this, Liu Xing also came to confidence, anyway, he can still die once or twice in this mod, so it's okay to gamble.

And if you win the bet, maybe you can get that statue, and that statue is a very high-level prop at a glance, if you can get this statue, even if you tear the card, it's blood. . . Of course,If you tear the card, the props on the character card will be lost.。。。

Therefore, Liu Xingyi gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, now Ishikawa Ling, you start learning that spell, and when we get rid of all those mythical creatures in Panlong Town, we will dig up that statue." ”

Ishikawa Ling nodded and said, "No problem, I'll start working on that spell now." ”

In this way, Ishikawa Ling took out the magic book and read it.

7d24=51。

It seems that Ishikawa Ling was lucky this time, and he only needed to study for fifty-one hours to learn this spell.

You must know that learning skills has always been a hassle in Cthulhu Run games, because unlike other games, learning skills can be achieved overnight.

Especially learning magic, it basically takes dozens or even hundreds of hours, but now Ishikawa Ling only needs fifty-one hours to learn a new spell, which is already a very short time.

However, according to the current situation, Ishikawa Ling does not have much time to learn magic every day, after all, in addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping, Ishikawa Ling also has to follow Liu Xing and his party to deal with those mythical creatures in Panlong Town, so it is already very good to have six hours a day to learn magic.

Of course, now Liu Xing and the others are aiming to solve a mythical creature at a point in time, so after eliminating all the mythical creatures in Panlong Town, Ishikawa Ling should be able to learn new magic.

Looking at Ishikawa Ling, who was studying diligently, Liu Xing was not easy to disturb, so he chose to sleep first.

In this way, Liu Xing slept until the afternoon, and was not called downstairs by Ishikawa Ling until dinner time.

"This is the fishing net you need." Hu Cang pointed to the corner of the wall and said.

Liu Xing stepped forward to check the fishing net, and found that Hu Cang was quite reliable, there was nothing damaged in this fishing net, and it was very strong, even if it couldn't completely trap the mountain demon, it could make the mountain demon toss in it for more than ten seconds, and it lasted until Hu Li arrived at the scene.

In addition to the fishing nets, Liu Xing saw two other shotguns in the corner.

"Hu Cang, the shotgun you got from there, can this be used?" Liu Xing asked with a look of surprise.

Hu Cang nodded and said with a smile: "This is what I borrowed from my uncle by the way when I went to look for fishing nets, and I have also tried these two shotguns, and they can be used normally." ”

Liu Xing smiled, with these two bird guns, he would be more confident in dealing with mountain demons.
