my cthulhu game

Chapter 255 In the "fur" of the black goat
Virtual world, that afternoon.

In a cave deep in the forest.

The pained Yi Si gasped heavily and fell to the ground.Her abdomen was pierced from behind by a sharp branch like a knife.

A sticky jelly oozed from the bark to coat her wounds.While the liquid stopped her bleeding, it also pinned her to the ground, leaving her completely immobile.

Not far away, her wise and exploring mentor, the Yisian attached to the innkeeper Mrs. Maxim, leaned motionless on the rock wall with bleeding eyes.

Her eyes had been gouged out by herself.Ice suspects that she is dead.

This is the consequence of trying to imprison the "Outer God", Iss thought desperately.She was tormented by the pain of "you can't live but you can't die".

No matter how clear the rationality of intelligent life is, the cold universe will never be changed by the will of civilization. This is the same for human beings, the ancients, Migos, and great races.The intelligent race always pretends to imitate the gods, until the mockery of the gods relentlessly falls on them.

Now Yisi's only reliance is his backer as "Shili", hoping that those human investigators can come to rescue him.

[Isth’s listening check is 10/20 successful]

In the silence, Iss heard movement from above the cave.

……

Not far from the cave.

"I must be crazy." Qin Yixian supported his forehead.

Following the road map left by Yi Si, everyone trekked extremely hard in the mountains.

At first, the winding mountain roads that were in disrepair and full of potholes helped a lot—the car parked in front of the hotel was their only means of transportation.

At Bai Shaobao's insistence, Chen Qiang, Cecilu and Bai Shaobao tied the oil barrel found in the basement to the roof of the car.The legends left by his ancestors made him always worried that some kind of big monster was hidden in the mountains, but he didn't express his unbelievable worries.

Compared with trekking in the mountains with two feet, it is a wise choice to take this modern and civilized transportation while you can still take a car.

As the woods grew thicker, cars soon became impassable.Chen Qiang pushed out the flatbed car from the trunk, pulled the gasoline can, and continued walking along the rugged dirt road in the dense forest that covered the sky and the sun.

"We shouldn't be carrying these...things that can cause wildfires." Qin Yixian said worriedly.

"I completely agree with Xiaobai's statement," Chen Qiang said, looking at the layers of forest in the distance, "We need more weapons... more."

"Mr. Chen is right," Bai Shaobao said, the picture in the basement of the hotel lingered in his heart, "The more destructive the weapons in our hands, the better."

[Bai Shaobao's Survival (Woodland) test was successful 54/65]

"This forest is not normal." He was walking in the forefront of the team, nimbly passing through the narrow passage between the trees, and suddenly shivered uncontrollably, "It's really not normal."

The trees that cover the sky and the sun grow too densely, and the intertwined roots are completely entangled together.Growing so close together, the trees shouldn't be able to survive, at least they won't grow as amazingly and thrive as everyone has seen.I don't know where the soil here comes from so much nutrients.

But the big monsters—of course they couldn't be seen, not even animals.

[Cecile Survival (Woodland) check 32/40 success]

Maomei leaned down.The plants in this wood are full of vitality, but no animals can be seen, except insects.Dense green insects crawled around Cecile's booted feet, surging around like water.Cecilu inserted her gloved fingers into the soil: the soil was extremely moist and unbelievably fertile, and she could even smell a warm milky scent.

The chorus of the insects turned into an uncoordinated and continuous vibrato. Even though Chen Qiang pulled the flatbed cart and ran over it, the insects on the ground still didn't intend to disperse.

"Strange forest," she muttered.

Chen Qiang is not surprised by this: he has an unreal sense of déjà vu and control over everything in front of him.

"illusory."

【However, is it the worm, the forest, you in the forest that are illusory, or... all of this? 】

The monotonous and unchanging voice of the system rang in Chen Qiang's ears.So far, the system has never spoken a word during the process of the module, and this is the first time that Chen Qiang heard the voice of the system during the process of conquering the module.

"system?"

The system did not answer.

The more you step into the depths of the dense forest, the stronger the feeling that everything is under your control, as if everything in front of you is just an illusory veil, as long as you stretch out your hand to remove it, the truth will—

[Chen Qiang failed the intelligence test 88/75]

"……Well."

However, the more he clings to the illusory feeling, the more that feeling will leave Chen Qiang.It seems like a perfect design drawing, because the most critical part of the material is missing, so it cannot be constructed as a whole.

suddenly--

[Qin Lingxue failed the listening test 59/29]

[Qin Yixian succeeded in listening test 8/75]

"Hush!" Qin Yixian suddenly made a silent gesture, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

[Bai Shaobao failed the listening test 87/61]

[Cecile's listening test failed 68/34]

[Chen Qiang listened to the test with a 1/70 success]

"Listen..." Chen Qiang pricked up his ears.

"It's near here." Qin Yixian said, but Chen Qiang walked directly towards the bushes not far away.Many unnamed insects lined up at his feet.

"It's over here...you see."

Chen Qiang tore away the bushes.

In the bushes half a person's height, the ground suddenly bends downwards, forming a huge hidden cave.

And Yisi's cry for help became more and more clear at this time.

"It's Sister Shili's voice," Bai Shaobao successfully recognized his girlfriend's voice, "My God...she...she's down here!"

Everyone looked at each other.

"We...should go down and rescue her." Qin Lingxue said, with worried eyes.

"But it might be a trap," Cecilu stood on the edge of the cave and looked around, volunteering to say, "Let me go down alone. You wait on the top."

The entrance of the cave is extremely steep—it’s no joke to fall down if you don’t have any motor nerves, Cecilu thought.

"It's still me." Bai Shaobao said forcefully, not wanting to be preempted by girls.

Qin Yixian touched his chin.

"Stop arguing," the youngest of the Qin family thought for a while, then looked up at Liangse, "We act as a group. Five people are divided into two groups..."

He paused, then took out a thick rope from his backpack: "I have prepared a safety rope. Xiaobai, Saixi, Chen Qiang, you three go down the rope one by one. Xiaoxue and I stay on top and watch over the safety rope." .Let me see..."

He tied the safety rope to the thickest tree around, and tied a neat knot.

"that's it."

"This tree makes me feel uncomfortable." Xiaoxue said worriedly, and found that the bark of the big tree was sticky.

"At least it's strong enough." Qin Yixian shrugged and patted the tree trunk hard a few times.
