229 Flesh Mystery
Rescued Hadren's corpse and got a few strange things, plus a force field wrist shield that could protect him.
In general, although it is a little more thrilling to clean up the ruins of the underground temple, the benefits are huge, just searching for the coffin to get a huge number of mysterious spices, and the 13,400 gold coins that you get before and after, are enough!
Although the current players' ability to obtain game currency has increased a lot with the improvement of their strength, more than 1,000 gold coins are still a huge amount of wealth that is enough to make the player's power staggering, which is not a huge amount of money that a single player can have, even if it is raised by the power units of the game guild and the player's family, it is the wealth of the entire guild, not the wealth of a certain guild executive.
Conquered the High Priest's Tomb, although it was only in the game, the group of people still felt a little exhausted, so they decided to suspend the exploration and take a break for a while.
The lion who just ran away from them, and came back with the handyman, the rest of the things naturally do not need to be Wutong and the main force of them, naturally someone is responsible for the aftermath and tidying up, just now they delayed so much, this gang of people has already finished tidying up the room they have conquered in front, and carried out simple repairs and restoration, is doing the final cleaning and decoration work, I believe it will not be long before it can be put into use.
It's a crazy idea to work in a dungeon infested with undead creatures, but if you can really occupy this place, it's undoubtedly a very cost-effective thing, and you don't know how much you have your own exclusive station before other player organizations!
This is not like occupying the nominal nominal occupation of the novice villages, although there is no official ownership, but there are no NPCs here who will dictate to the players, and the autonomy is all in their own hands, and in the twenty-four novice villages of each trial island, even if the players except for their own forces are expelled, they still have to obey the rules set by the NPCs, and whether it is trading or buying, they need to pay taxes to the lord of the village, and if they do not obey, the consequences can be very serious.
"Boss! What about the eight heavily armored zombies just now? β
The lion asked curiously as he sent someone to guard the entrance of the passage opposite the burial chamber of the senior priest to prevent monsters from suddenly rushing out of the passage that had not yet been cleared.
Wutong didn't know much either, so he could only cast his eyes on Wu, who was in charge of leading away the heavily armored zombies just now, and his useless thumb compared the direction of the big pool: "Soak it." β
A group of people glanced at each other, and suddenly stood up and hulala, and they all ran to visit, but such a powerful monster was trapped, and it was very tempting for them, if they could take advantage of the other party's inability to attack themselves, and kill the other party, it was judged that those heavily armored zombies were at least fifty or sixty level monsters! In terms of their level, how many percent of the soul energy points are added to the level?
But when everyone saw the eight heavily armored zombies soaked in the big pool, they were collectively dumbfounded, because they saw that the two thistles were frantically attacking the heavily armored zombies soaked in the water, and their movements were obviously getting slower and slower.
But the heavily armored zombies who lost the control of the ghost priest did not notice these "small fish" attacking them at all, and they lost their attack targets, wandering aimlessly in the pool in a daze, unaware that they were soaked in the water, and their heavy bodies doomed them to be impossible to climb up from the large pool of water that was four or five meters deep.
The ferocity of the thistle terrestris is something that everyone has seen, but the iron thistle terrestris is sharp enough to bite off the teeth of steel, and on the cast iron armor of the heavily armored zombie, it can only gnaw scratches one after another, if it is not soaked in water, it is estimated that it can directly splash sparks.
Don't break the defense!
With the damage ability of the iron thistle, gnaw on the body of the ironclad zombie, and it doesn't break the defense!?
Although I don't know how many levels of thistle terrestris are, but Wutong, who has dealt with these two strange fish several times, estimates that the level of these two fish is at least above level 25, because of so many days of games, the game Xiaobai Wutong, slowly discovered some little secrets in the game that were not recorded in any information and strategies!
It's a secret.,In fact, it's estimated that most advanced players and experienced veteran players have discovered it.,That is, players can't see too much monster information that exceeds their own level.,But you can judge the approximate level of the monster according to how much information you can see.γ
Before he had a special detection skill, after attacking the opponent, he could see the six basic castes and rank numbers of the enemy whose level was no more than 3 or above, but if his level was higher than the enemy, the more detailed data he could see!
For example, now he looks at level 0 toads, except:
[Health 80, First Strike +1, Damage 17, Defense 10, Speed 5]
In addition to these six basic castes, you can also see such as:
Special Attack: No Special: Amphibious, Dim Vision Immunity: Tenacity +2, Reflex +3, Will +2 Caste: Strength 1, Agility 12, Constitution 11, Intelligence 1, Perception 14, Charisma 4 Skill: Hiding +21, Listening +4, Scouting +4 Specialties: Alertness, Protective Color (Toad's skin color grants it a +4 race bonus when hiding).
Area: Temperate Swamp Organization: Large group (10-100) Challenge Level: 0Evolution: NoneLevel Adjustment: None
And so on and so on to the limit of detailed data, although it is usually not used in the battle to such detailed information, players only need to know the opponent's attack, defense, blood, speed values, to judge whether they can beat or not.
But at some point,You can't help but say,Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win a hundred battles.,For some dangerous.,Or very special monsters,The basic caste doesn't mean it's dangerous.,Just like some high-level monsters are lower than low-level monsters' health.γDefenseγAttack power is even lower.γ
The method of judging the level of monsters in "Endless" is not based on one of its surnames, but according to its dangerous surname, which is inseparable from its living environment, ethnic characteristics, life forms and other external and internal factors, only the more you know about it, the most appropriate battle mode can be arranged for it, saving time, effort and effectiveness.
So,In the case of a new monster that you don't understand,Rashly attack,To be honest,It's a rough technique with the experience of a small life shop.,Some advanced players or old players,Usually disdain to do this kind of manual work.,They attach great importance to monster information and intelligence,Far more than the average ordinary player.γ
Wutong has only noticed this in the last two days, from the damage caused by the attack of the iron thistle terrestris that fell into the big pool, it can be deduced that the base damage of the iron thistle is as high as 200+, but such an attack gnaws on the body of the heavily armored zombie, it doesn't hurt or itch, and even the miss is too lazy to float, which is very revealing.
Although this phenomenon has a certain relationship with the protective power of the set of fully sealed heavy cast iron armor on the heavily armored zombie, the surname of the heavily armored zombie itself is probably also very amazing, and it is far more than the fifty or sixty levels that Wutong judged before!
Half of the cigarette shot an arrow at the thistle terrestris that turned out of the water from time to time with a longbow, and after discovering this situation, he said, "What is the origin of these iron cans?" So perverted? This is no longer the level of the boss, this Nima is at the level of a divine beast, ah? β
Half a cigarette is also a veteran player who has experienced many online games, and naturally noticed these details before Wutong, and it is easy to deduce that at this stage, the attacks of the vast majority of players are impossible to break the defense of these eight iron cans, whether it is physical damage or spell damage!
After holding his chin for several layers and staring thoughtfully at the heavily armored zombies in the big pool for a while, Hadron frowned and tried to recall something, and after a while, he suddenly spread his palms with one hand and smashed his fist in the palm of his hand, and exclaimed with a sudden expression: "Ah! I remember! These eight monsters aren't zombies at all! β
Wutong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the resurrected NPC fat man, and he smiled proudly: "I devoured the soul fragment of that ghost, and obtained some of its scattered memories and abilities, just to know the origin of this group of monsters!" Want to know? β
Fortunately, the fat merchant Hadron didn't let Wutong wait too long, so he immediately said the answer, otherwise under the wrath of the heavens and people, he would not have been able to press the [Inferior Eternal Stasis Badge] on him again.
"These eight iron guys aren't zombies at all! They are the undead temple guards left behind by the occult sect, an undead monster called the 'Flesh Statue'! They are the most powerful organs on the corpses of some powerful creatures, through evil sacrificial rituals and forbidden spells, forbidden alchemy techniques, to carry out fusion, patchwork, sewing and other acts, artificially created walking corpses, although they do not have their own thoughts, but the combat ability is extremely strong! β
Even Hadron, who possessed the memory fragments of the ghost priest, couldn't help but be amazed at the origin of these eight "flesh statues": "But fortunately, the method of making this monster has been lost a long time ago, and these eight flesh statues were excavated from some ancient ruins and ruins at the beginning of the creation of the mysterious sect.
Then he was transported here, armed with clumsy armor and heavy weapons, and he became what he is now, and took on the task of guarding this temple, I don't know if there are other such immortal temple guards, the soul fragments I devoured are incomplete, and the memories I have obtained are intermittent, I can only know so much"
The sudden mention of the Ao Statue made the players at a loss, but it was the Wutong who had been immersed in reading hard whenever he had time recently, and he had seen a record of this kind of thing in that book.
This kind of thing like Ao is not accessible to today's players at all, it is beyond the existence of more than 7 levels, that is to say, at least more than a hundred level monsters, with the technology in the current world background of "Endless", it has long been impossible to manufacture, and it is replaced by a simplified version of various puppets!
The so-called arcane statue is an automatic device powered by arcane energy, which is actually made of various materials, similar to robots, such as constructed mechanical bodies, made of stone, metal, and even various strange materials.
The content he saw about the mysteries in the books was only a vague mention of some powerful ancient nobles who liked to place some statues disguised as statues and decorative armor in the corners of the walls in their courtyards and residences to protect themselves.
These statues, which stand motionless on the courtyard platform and disguise themselves as sculptures, are likely to become the terminators of the invaders, and in the case of inadvertently, with the strong fighting ability and destruction of the statues, it can be said that few people can hide from them.
Unfortunately, although the power of the arcane statue is strong, the process of making it usually involves the use of powerful arcane and elemental powers, and the key activation factor in order to make a body with no living characteristics move and be able to perform tasks according to the orders of its owner, is the "soul" of the creature, in short, one or more unwilling souls are implanted into the artificial body and forced to act according to the will of the creator.
The Occults are incomparably strong in battle, because their bodies are unusually strong and sturdy, and because they have no mind, they will do nothing without the command of their master. Although they will clearly carry out orders, because they do not know how to adopt any strategy or tactics, they will only destroy the targets designated by their masters in the simplest and most brutal way in battle.
As long as the statue is within 60 yards of its owner and can see and hear his voice, the owner can give it commands, and if it does not receive a new command, the statue will try to complete the last command it receives until it is completed, but if it is attacked, it will still instinctively fight back.
When the owner needs to leave the Okiya, he can give some simple instructions to the Idol in advance to control its actions, for example, the owner can order the Idol to follow the instructions given by others, and the person can also hand over the control of the Statue to others, but in any case, the owner can regain control of it at any time and let it only obey its own orders.
The whole process of making the statue is extremely complicated, and the materials used involve too many expensive and rare precious materials, which leads to too much cost, even those extremely wealthy lords and nobles, there is no way to arrange a large number of them in their residences, more often used as a weapon of war with a deterrent surname, and they are properly stored in the warehouse in peacetime, and only when it is critical will they be taken out as a killer weapon.
Since the manufacturing method of the statue has been lost, every preserved statue that has not been damaged is a non-renewable resource, and it is worth a fortune regardless of the level!
Thinking of this, Wutong looked at the eight flesh statues soaked in the pool, and almost all the green light shot out of his eyes, but unfortunately, not all the statues found from the ruins can be bought and sold and used, unless he also got its "key" by the way while discovering the statue.
The key, to put it simply, is the key to a car, without which the vehicle cannot be started, not necessarily a physical object, it may just be a secret word, or a specific password, a hidden gesture mixed with a large number of useless actions.
In short, if you want to gain control of an ownerless statue, you need someone with a certain protagonist's aura to do it, it's not just a matter of strength, but also depends on whether the character is strong enough, and whether the luck is enough shit.
Obviously, Wutong is not the guy with the aura of the protagonist, he can only look at the eight flesh statues soaked in the big pool with a sigh of pain, he can't control these flesh statues, and he can't get them out of this big pool, he can only watch them be soaked in the pool and slowly rot.
However, when Wutong inadvertently found that the corners of Hadron's mouth were twitching when he couldn't help but grin, but he couldn't help but squeeze his mouth, and his eyes flickered violently, he noticed that something was wrong, why did this girl smile so silverly?
After fluting, Wutong immediately reacted, this guy is a businessman, and now, he can be said to be poor and has nothing but a lot of gold coins, his original identity and power have dissipated in decades of desolation, so why should he laugh like a little widow who has a husband to come to the door in the middle of the night?
From the wind-scratching eyes he looked at the eight flesh mysteries in the pool, Wutong knew that he was afraid that in the soul fragments of the ghost priest he devoured in the state of the void ghost, there was exactly the "key" to control these flesh mysteries!
Trying to bring his distorted facial expressions back to normal, Hadron turned his head and suddenly found that Sycamore was staring at him, with one hand still in his pocket where the [Inferior Eternal Stasis Badge] was placed!
Suddenly, a spirited Hadron quickly flashed countless thoughts in his mind, and immediately decided to recognize the current affairs as Junjie, not to mention that this strange trialist is his partner, even if the eight flesh statues are out, I am afraid they will also be used to protect the Chamber of Commerce, and sooner or later they will be exposed, rather than turning their faces at that time, it is better to sell them now
This guy in front of him has just killed that terrible ghost priest, and that ghost is many times stronger than his former scrap wood ghost!
As a shrewd businessman, he didn't want to die, and in his physical state, he was not much higher than the threat of a mouse, and he couldn't compete with this guy with a lot of people for the time being, even if he also gained some of the powers of a ghost priest.
The most important thing is that he also devoured the main body of the ghost priest, and he may have more memories than himself, even if he doesn't confess, I am afraid that when the other party fuses the memory fragments of the ghost priest, these eight arcane statues may be insulated from himself, because the control methods he has mastered are extremely limited.
"I know how to control these carnal images"
Hadron cheekily confessed to Wutong as if he had no intention of swallowing the eight statues alone: "Uh, part of the control method!" β
Wutong continued to stare unmoved, Hadron broke out in a cold sweat, he saw that Wutong had already taken out the [Inferior Eternal Stasis Badge], and put it in the palm of his hand to play with it, a little scared, but still stubbornly said: "I want four of them", Wutong suddenly coughed, he immediately halved: "Control of the two!" But I ask these eight carnal statues to be the common property of the Chamber of Commerce! β
"One! And its control is limited to guarding the property of the Chamber of Commerce! β
Wutong stared at his eyes: "Don't forget, I said before, I will save you, and everything on your corpse belongs to me!" I haven't done it yet! If you want, you can refuse my offer, but give me all the loot you have, including your panties, at once! β
Not only Hadren, but even the lion next to them were collectively in a cold sweat, the leader is threatening an NPC? Even hand over your panties? Too ruthless, right? Doesn't that mean that this big fat NPC merchant is going to return to Bahadiga City naked?
When I thought of the most prosperous square in the middle of Bahadiga City, where the Waujin Temple is located, a big fat man suddenly appeared, covering his face with his thighs covered and running wildly, and all players couldn't help but feel a collective chill!
"It's not"
Hadron was furious, the control of a carnal statue, and it was limited to guarding the property of the Chamber of Commerce, what difference was that from getting nothing?
Wutong suddenly lowered his head and played with the silver-gray [Inferior Eternal Stasis Badge] in his hand, smirking suspiciously, not knowing who he was talking to, and as if he was talking to himself, "This priest's memory is really interesting?" It turns out that there is a means to seal up the imaginary creatures, slowly whip the soul, and extract memories? Interesting, interesting, quack! β
Hadren's hairs stood on end, and he said categorically: "Deal!" β
Seeing Hadron on the set, Wutong casually stuffed the badge into his pocket, and secretly sighed, he just used his [bluffing] +6 skill, but Hadren, an NPC merchant, is also proficient in bluffing tricks in business negotiations, and Wutong is not sure if his bluffing skill can take effect.
But now it seems to be working well! He hadn't received any of the ghost priest's memory fragments at all, the hapless ghost wasn't devoured by him, but by the Bone Eater's Ring, but it looked like it had been devoured by him from the outside, and he didn't know if he was really able to seal the imaginary creatures and extract memories, just casually made it up.
In order to enhance the effect, he also specially took out the Eternal Stasis Emblem to threaten the other party intentionally or unintentionally, if not, he planned to seal Hadren's body as a threat.
But after being thought by Hadron that he was going to seal his body and force out of his virtual state, he used the [Soul Talisman] to imprison himself and torture him slowly, but the psychological defense line collapsed on the spot, and he was imprisoned for decades, floating around in the ruins of this lifeless dark underground temple all day long, and you can't afford to hurt a bunch of people who deal with bone racks!
The dejected Hadron handed over the body like the "control key", not completely, after the Sycamore is a threat again, and intimidation after repeated questioning, the obese Hadron swears like a ball of rage jumping up and down gambling curses, Sycamore is sure that the control key he has is indeed incomplete!
Because, according to Hadrun, what he got from the Ghost Priest was only a part of the control key, and it was limited to controlling the flesh statues in the ruins of this underground temple, performing the guardian work, and could not leave here, nor could he command them to actively fight for themselves!
This disappointed the sycamore, who planned to go out to sweep the world with eight invincible statues, and only be able to protect the temple? Can't take the initiative to fight yet? What's the use of that?
(To be continued)
