Conquering alien worlds starts from the game
Chapter 28
The tentacle spider being chased by the players is a low-level monster called "Dreamweaver".
That's right... Although it looks like it can't be fought, and it was beaten back hastily by the player with a rotten stick and a broken shovel, but this thing is indeed a real monster.
The reason why it appears to be more "parallel imports" is because the biggest threat to this "dream weaver" is not physical attacks, but the densely packed venomous needles on the thirteen tentacles—as long as a living creature is touched lightly by the tentacles If it is touched, even if it is only touched by a little bit of skin, it will be instantly injected with neurotoxin by the "dream weaver".
And once injected with this evil spider poison, even Hal, who is as strong as a bull, will start to be paralyzed within a few seconds, and his consciousness will start to blur after half a minute at most, and he will enter in a clear state. The dream, unknowingly, becomes a delicious meal for the "dream weaver".
Good at lurking, able to move on any terrain, thirteen two-meter-long tentacles can form an attack range without dead ends, and can be called the predator king among low-level monsters; replace it with a normal close-up professional-level powerhouse, such as Hal Normal people like Maxwell, Charlie Rex, or Pansy challenge this "dream weaver", and if they don't do it, they will have to fall into a hard fight.
But...Although the player moves like crazy, chatters loudly, and is alive and kicking, he is still not a living creature. No matter how much neurotoxin the Dreamweaver injects into the player, it will only flow through the cracks in the bones...
Immune to the biggest poisonous ultimate move, the players whose weight is only 40% of normal people are fast enough, and the dream weaver is really only good at lurking attacks, not good at flexibility, and is quickly caught up by the players.
Next, the untimely dream weaver was beaten alive by the players by smashing stones, throwing mud, holding tentacles and holding rotten wooden sticks to the spider's torso, which was already a weak point. , aggrieved and rushed to the street...
"This damn thing made me dirty." Yang Ying, one of the main output, was not necessarily very happy, shaking the green stuff on the novice outfit.
"I also got a lot of stains on it, and it still stinks, I have to wash it when I go back." Tang Jia, another main output player, also had a look of disgust on his face, "This is the only bad thing about this game, the dog scheme is like eating too much Ollie Crazy pursuit of realism, playing games and washing clothes by myself, I’ve seen it for a long time.”
In the town hall, Yang Qiu, who heard the female player scolding the dog for planning with his own ears, looked calm.
What she scolded was planning, what does it have to do with my game producer?
"Where have we all run to? Why is this tunnel so long?"
The players who killed the tentacle spider finally realized that something was wrong.
"It should have been out of the town." Entropy, who fell at the end in the pursuit, came up to meet everyone, "Since we met this monster just now, the inside of the tunnel has changed. From being fixed with a wooden frame to being fixed without a wooden frame, the space is more spacious, and the walls of the tunnel seem to have been strengthened by some special means, which is stronger than the tunnel we walked through before, which seems to be dug by the townspeople themselves."
"Eh? What do you mean?" Tang Jia was confused, and Yang Ying, who was obsessed with studying, was also full of question marks.
The entropy does not increase, and he missed the short-term cooperation with Miaobi Shenghua, and explained patiently: "I mean, since we met this tentacle spider monster, we have entered the underground passage opened by 'non-human'. Considering the suspected Anna's corpse seen at the entrance of the cellar, I think that many townspeople who dug the tunnel accidentally dug through the underground space leading to the monster's lair or the monster's territory , this is likely to lead to the destruction of the townsman group, or at least the reason for the loss of a large number of townspeople."
The three of them trembled.
Brother Lahong didn't participate in the discussion between them. His attention was always on the monster's corpse. At this moment, not only was he not frightened in the slightest, but he turned his head excitedly and said excitedly: "Hey, big discovery... ...This thing can be identified with an identification technique!"
The four girls were taken aback for a moment, and quickly cast out their appraisal skills...
"Dreamweaver"
"LV1"
"Low-level monsters are good at mental attacks. After injecting neurotoxins into the prey, they can make the prey fall into a state of paralysis, trance, and daydream."
"May drop: Dream Weaver Poison Sac, Dream Weaver Poison Bead, Magic Residue."
On the identified information, in the column of information "May be dropped", the font displayed for "Dream Weaver Poison Sac" is white, which means ordinary materials, and the fonts displayed for "Dream Weaver Strain" and "Magic Residue" are Blue, which means excellent grade material!
"A mob that dropped high-quality materials?!" Tang Jia, a girl with a huge game addiction, became excited all of a sudden, and said excitedly, "This is the place to spawn monsters? Have we found a spot to spawn monsters?!"
"That's right!" Brother Lahong, who is also a heavy gamer, nodded vigorously, "The only south side that can leave the town is blocked by that big mouse. The cliff we found now is the correct way to go out of the town to spawn monsters!"
Without saying a word, Tang Jia rushed up with a broken shovel, and dug up the monster's corpse with Brother Lahong, and actually dug out an organ that looked like a pig's heart from the monster's abdomen:
"Dream Weaver Poison Sac"
"A common monster poison sac can be used for poison processing and alchemy production. Turn it over to Black Mage Yang to get 20 reputation points."
Without even thinking about it, Tang Jia handed this material to Entropy: "That's great Qingyue, if you can get more of this stuff, you'll be able to earn enough reputation to change jobs earlier."
"Yes, kill a few more monsters if you have the chance." Yang Ying finally understood why Tang Jia was so excited when she heard that she could spawn monsters, and nodded happily.
Entropy does not increase. He glanced at Brother Lahong and Shen Shenstudy, and seeing that neither of them had any objections, he put away the poisonous bag unceremoniously: "Let's look forward, there is only one way from the moment we come down, since here There are monsters, so the end of the road is likely to be the monster spawning point that we will open after we overcome this task, and there may be important task information in this place.”
In the town hall, Yang Qiu, who was monitoring the players, nodded in relief.
It seems that the SAN value will be lost just by looking at the appearance, and you will be attacked by disgusting tentacles during the battle, and you will also get monsters covered in poisonous toxins. As long as you give numerical rewards, players will not be particularly repulsed... …
The player with the ID "Entropy does not increase" is indeed clever enough to interpret the clues he intentionally left - that's right, an extra 800-meter-long tunnel was added to the passage dug by the townspeople. It is Yang Qiu.
After finishing this tunnel, Yang Qiu's magic powder inventory will be exhausted...Earth magic does not cost mana, but it is really a waste of magic powder.
But in order to provide monster spawning points that are suitable for players to spawn monsters and can benefit themselves, this kind of investment is worthwhile.
Yang Qiu carefully selected the Dream Weaver for players to play with. Except that this thing was indeed defeated by the "Undead Scourge", its poison sacs and beads, as well as the "magic residue" formed by the internal secretions of monsters belonged to Popular and practical materials, you can exchange them from players for some of your own reputation, don't be too happy!
If the player doesn't panic when the entropy doesn't increase, and if he puts an appraisal first, the player can still see the red name on the top of the monster's head, the level of LV1, and the blood bar...
"This side is going well...how about the other side?"
The Miaobi Shenghua team who explored in another tunnel found a relatively open underground space about half the size of a basketball court after detouring for a while in the narrow tunnel fixed by wooden planks and wooden pillars.
This space is narrower and lower than the cave where Lord Yang planted the big-leaf vines. It is an obvious artificial creation, and there are some supplies piled up inside. It can be seen at a glance that it was once operated by the townspeople as an underground refuge.
"All the materials stored here are rotten." Jiang Wei lifted the tattered wooden boards on a wooden box, took a look and covered the wooden boards, "The last time there were living people here, it should have been a long time ago. gone."
Miaobi Shenghua touched his chin and looked at the pile of wooden boxes and sacks in the corner, which was still quite a lot, and said thoughtfully: "The townspeople here belong to a team of pioneers led by 'General Charlotte', The townspeople are more united and collective than ordinary townspeople. Judging from the materials piled up here, this conclusion can also be established. Then why... When encountering danger, none of these townspeople went to this underground refuge What about running away?"
"Because the danger is too urgent, the townspeople have no time to move?" Qin Guan thought for a while and asked.
Miaobishenghua shook his head and said: "Although we don't know how many people are in this pioneer team, there are 120 three wooden houses in this town, of which 68 houses were specially dug out to store materials in the cellar, which proves that the town There used to be at least 68 or more households who had surplus materials that needed to be dug into cellars for storage.”
"It is very difficult to pose a life-threatening threat to so many families in a very short period of time, and prevent all townspeople from having time to hide in underground shelters. Unless..."
"Unless these townspeople have given up on the underground shelter." Jiang Wei answered calmly.
"That's right. The underground refuge, or all the spaces underground, make the townspeople feel more dangerous and terrifying. That's why there is such a strange phenomenon that the townspeople dare not go underground." Miaobi Shenghua smiled at Jiang Vi nodded.
Give me medicine & Qin Guan, looking at Jiang Wei silently.
It doesn't matter if the entropy doesn't increase... You also came to the show?
Jiang Wei ignored the boring jealousy of the men and continued to discuss with Miaobi Shenghua: "But the mission we are going to do, the mission protagonist 'Morris' is obviously an exception, the parchment he wrote on after losing his mind was thrown at the entrance It can be interpreted as this guy has entered the underground passage again, isn’t that true?”
While discussing with their mouths, the two kept searching around the shelter with their hands, but unlike other people who rummaged around, they seemed to only stay in some key places with a purpose.
"I think so too. The protagonist 'Morris' in the mission should be the last person among the townspeople to enter the underground passage. It's just that there is too little key information, and we can't determine the specific reason. We can only...fuck it!" Miaobi Sheng Hua pushed the two stacked empty boxes away, and was startled by the scene behind the boxes.
Give me the medicine and Qin Guan, the two little friends, rushed over with concern...then they also let out a very shocked sound of "Fuck".
The wall behind the box was hollowed out to create a cavity the size of a suitcase.
Inside the hollow, curled awkwardly... a male corpse wearing a shirt, vest and overalls can barely be seen.
Miaobi Shenghua couldn't accept the horror and horror scenes, so he took several steps back in a row - being a skeleton and not being afraid of skeletons are two different things!
Qin Guan stepped forward boldly and cautiously, and pulled out a piece of rolled parchment from the hand of the male corpse that seemed to be stuffed into it by himself.
The handwriting on the parchment was very scribbled. It was not as neat as the one that gave me the medicine, but at least it was not as chaotic as the one that was found at the entrance of the tunnel. The formed characters could be barely seen, and most of the content could be seen. Translated by the system:
"Dear Anna:"
"I don't remember how many days I have been in Tarantan today, maybe two hundred days, maybe three hundred days, I don't know (indistinct writing)"
"(content missing)"
"They all think I'm crazy, but I know I'm not crazy (the handwriting is illegible). The problem is definitely not me, but them!"
"At first, it was Bildad, the farmer's son, who said he heard a far-off, distinct laugh, as if it came from the end of the world, or from under the pillow."
"I suspected that Bilda had betrayed Prosperity, but he vehemently denied it. I took him back to my lodgings and asked him to spend the night under my nose."
"Blessed by the Goddess of Prosperity, this traitor who believes in the cult, laughs like a madman when the night comes... That laughter is not from others, but from Bildad himself!"
"Bilda lost control before my eyes, he attacked me with crazy laughing (indistinct)"
"Everyone, including Arlin who lived next door to me, denied hearing Bildad's terrible laughter, and they suspected that I had killed Bildad out of personal vendetta."
"I didn't want to embarrass Yarlin, so I handed over the post of sheriff, but I definitely didn't kill people for any reason that I can't stand on the stage. I can't support myself. How I hope I can get your support."
"Not long after, I heard laughter too."
Qin Guan gave a jolt, and handed the letter paper to Miaobi Shenghua.
Miaobi Shenghua read the content of this letter... Even though he knew he was playing a game and doing tasks in the game, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, and shouted: "Really—is the production team a dog?" ! Is this a mission or a horror game! Those who can’t play horror games are not qualified to do missions?!”
In the town hall, Yang Qiu, who was once again angered by female players, remained calm.
What she scolded was the production team, what does it have to do with me, the lord of Tarantan, the black mage Yang?
That's right... Although it looks like it can't be fought, and it was beaten back hastily by the player with a rotten stick and a broken shovel, but this thing is indeed a real monster.
