Trickster Hunter

Chapter 234 Bone Throne

…

The infected person led Sun Hang and the others for nearly two kilometers in the tunnel, passing through many side roads that still smelled of strange things. However, the infected person did not stop, and Sun Hang and the others were not easy to separate. Explore these forks in multiple ways.

They can simply mark these intersections and continue to follow the infected people.

Finally, when Ye Xuan was out of breath, they finally arrived at the end of the tunnel - a rather spacious underground hall.

This hall is filled with life-size pottery figurines. Most of these pottery figurines are defective, but the few well-preserved pottery figurines exude a very obvious aura of strange things - except for the armored soldiers. In addition to the figurines, there are even many horse figurines and chariot figurines in the hall.

A heavy bed crossbow was mounted on the chariot. Four large bows with a length of three meters overlapped front and back. The huge winch was wrapped with strings made of several strands of animal sinew. The front end of the crossbow arrow was as thick as a child's arm and flashed with sharp arrows. The cold light was pointed directly at the people who broke into the hall.

"Good guy...are you moving the Terracotta Warriors and Horses from the First Emperor's Mausoleum on the outskirts of Chang'an City?" Sun Hang couldn't help but sigh.

"No, what is moved here is not the terracotta warriors and horses from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor." Zhulong shook his head, "The chain armor and weapons equipped on these terracotta warriors are very different from the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty... And those mounted on chariots The bed crossbow is also closer to the style equipped by the Crusaders a thousand years ago. "

However, in addition to this, Sun Hang also felt an extremely powerful aura hidden behind the military formation.

"Oh?" Sun Hang looked at these warriors again, "So they are just a group of barbarians?"

This is not that Sun Hang looks down on Europa's army, but in comparison, the Crusaders are indeed not worthy of carrying shoes for the Song Dynasty army at the same time in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, let alone the more sturdy nomads in the north of Xiazhou Continent. .

To the Xiazhou people of that era, the Crusaders who broke into Asia Minor from the Europa region could only be regarded as a group of beggars who had never seen the world.

"It looks intimidating at first glance, but if you take a closer look, it's still far behind the terracotta warriors and horses in the Qi Imperial Tomb." Ye Xuan also commented on the side, "Both in terms of quantity and momentum."

The number of mercenaries in this hall is about three hundred, there are less than fifty war horses, and there are only four chariots carrying heavy crossbows... This kind of force may be considered a small amount during the Crusades. It is an armed force that cannot be ignored, but if it comes to the battlefields of Song and Liao at the same time, it may be difficult to even attack a small town.

"Could these things be imitations produced by the 'Phoenix Factory' back then?" Yang Qi asked doubtfully.

"It should be that Europa has no history of making clay terracotta warriors," Zhulong said.

Just as several people were discussing these pirated terracotta warriors and horses, the infected person suddenly started running back, shouting in a hoarse voice as he ran: "Wake up! He...he is already awake!"

A loud noise suddenly came from a distance. No one expected that the bed crossbow that had been placed underground for hundreds of years could still fire normally. The crossbow arrow as thick as an arm shot out quickly, directly nailing the escaped infected person to death. On the ground!

"Betrayer, die!"

A dull voice echoed in the hall.

Several corpses immediately rushed forward, blocking everyone behind them, while Yang Qi and Ye Xuan ran to the infected person's side and checked her condition.

"There is still hope!" Yang Qi shouted, "But she must be sent back to the hospital immediately. Sun Hang, can you use your ability to help her stop the bleeding first... Sun Hang?"

Yang Qi raised her head and realized that Sun Hang had already bypassed the corpses and walked to the front.

"No, buddy." Sun Hang continued to walk forward, "Your lines are too average, right? Can you change it to something less embarrassing?"

"Intruders, surrender and live." The voice said again, "Resist and die together!"

The mercenaries carrying the aura of strange things started to move, and with a harsh and rough friction sound, more than a dozen mercenaries holding swords and shields surrounded Sun Hang. The sharp weapons with cold light pointed directly at every part of Sun Hang's body. key points.

"Kneel down!" the voice shouted.

"I think you seem to be a little confused about the situation." Sun Hang glanced around the group of mercenaries and said calmly, "Get out of the way."

His tone was calm, but the aura released from his body was extremely turbulent. In an instant, with him as the center, all the mercenaries within a radius of 100 meters fell to their knees. Even those standing behind Sun Hang were not affected. Wang Xiyi and Zhulong, who were hit head-on by this aura, also had a look of discomfort on their faces.

"Watch well and study hard." Sun Hang said as he walked away, "The so-called 'king's spirit' is not something that is shouted out by mouth. People like you can only be called 'bastard's spirit'."

Sun Hang had already seen the source of the sound - looking past the kneeling mercenaries, he could see that at the end of the phalanx, there was a throne made of bones, with a dried corpse leaning on the throne, and a throne. A crown of pure gold sat on its bare head.

There was an extremely exaggerated wound on its chest, extending from its left shoulder to its lower right abdomen, cutting open the entire chest and abdominal cavity. It could be vaguely seen that something was emitting from its heart. A faint red light.

Sun Hang kicked away a mercenary who was kneeling in front of him and was in the way, and walked straight towards the throne.

"Soldiers! Kill him!" The voice sounded again, with seven parts of anger, two parts of surprise, and... one part of fear in the tone.

No soldier mercenary moved. When Sun Hang walked to the center of the army, all the soldiers mercenaries had already knelt down - facing the direction of Sun Hang.

Sun Hang climbed up the steps paved with bones and walked to the front of the throne.

"Don't you think I am more suitable to sit here than you?" Sun Hang asked seriously.

The corpse opened its eyes and stared at Sun Hang with its pupils that also emitted dark red light... The next second, it suddenly jumped up, pulled out the dagger under the throne and slashed at Sun Hang.

But the dagger just swung into the air, and its movement froze - because Sun Hang had reached into its chest and grabbed the glowing thing.

Accompanied by the sound of dry tissue being torn apart, the thing was taken out of the chest of the mummy by Sun Hang.

The dark red light in the mummy's eyes dissipated instantly, and it fell headfirst, rolling along the steps under the bone throne into the army formation until it was stopped by a kneeling soldier.

"You are...killing the king..." Its last voice echoed in the hall.

"What a king you are." Sun Hang responded casually, while playing with the things dug out from the mummy, he turned around and sat on the bone throne.

Although it was made of bones, the surface of the bone throne was polished very flat and smooth - it was quite comfortable to sit on.

The thing hidden in the chest of the mummy was also a crystal, but unlike the previous heart-shaped crystal, this crystal was a cube with clear edges and corners, and the surface was covered with dense lines - but these lines were also straight lines, and the turning points were all right angles. There was no place in the whole crystal that could be described as "round".

For some reason, Sun Hang always felt that the thing, in terms of shape and size, was very similar to a Rubik's Cube... He tried to twist it, but the crystal didn't move at all - those lines were really just lines, and the gaps left by the precise structure biting each other.

"Sun Hang... did you kill that guy?" Wang Xiyi ran to the throne and looked up at Sun Hang who was sitting on the throne.

"Yeah... I thought this guy was so strong, but when I dug this thing out, it just died." Sun Hang raised the crystal in his hand, "The powerful breath I sensed before was not from that guy who likes to show off, but from this."

"Its meme strength... seems to be stronger than mine..." Wang Xiyi walked up and stared at the crystal at close range... But even she didn't notice that the area covered by scales on the surface of her body was rapidly increasing. In just a few seconds, the whole face, except for the circle around the facial features, was already covered with iron-black dragon scales.

"Old Wang... you seem to be a little bit wrong." Sun Hang noticed the change in Wang Xiyi and immediately reminded her.

"Me?" Wang Xiyi was stunned, and then she also noticed the change in her body. She immediately jumped back, flapped her wings, and instantly pulled more than ten meters away from Sun Hang.

The scales that almost covered her body slowly retreated. She took a deep breath, reached out and touched her cheek, and muttered: "Strange... why don't I feel anything at all?"

"It seems to be because of this thing?" Sun Hang stared at the red crystal in his hand for a long time, and thought of the antiques imitated by the "Phoenix Factory" that turned into weird things... He suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

Could this thing have the ability to "mass produce weird things" like himself?

Mass production of weird things and meme transmission are not the same thing. The latter is to use the weird's own memes to infect people or things that are still in a normal state, so that they are infected... and then become weird skeletons or weird things.

In this way, the memes in the infected object and the strange creature that is the source of infection are "of the same origin". Even if they mutate later, the meme fragments of the two will have many similarities.

However, mass-produced strange creatures are completely different.

This is to use special abilities to make normal people or things produce strange creature memes by themselves, and then give birth to a "new strange creature" - for example, "九二七九六" and the liquid metal weapons that Sun Hang is carrying with him now. These things are just the most common waste metals, but after being affected by Sun Hang's "wish come true" ability, they all become strange creatures carrying memes...

Song Yarong has already conducted a detailed analysis of the meme fragments of "九二七九六", and the result is that the meme fragments of the strange creature and the meme fragments in Sun Hang's body are completely incompatible, and there is no relationship of infection and being infected between the two.

"Lao Wang." Sun Hang shouted.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Wang Xiyi was stunned for a moment, "By the way, won't you be affected by this thing?"

"I haven't found any effect yet." Sun Hang said, "Do you have any unnecessary small items on you? Give me a few."

"Small items?" Wang Xiyi touched her waist and thighs, and suddenly remembered that she was still wearing the nano armor combat suit brought out from the test site. Apart from the functional equipment hidden inside the combat suit, there was nothing extra on her.

This is also related to her usual combat habits - after all, once she enters the beast state, her clothes and personal belongings will basically be scrapped, so she rarely carries things like mobile phones when she goes on a mission... In Wang Xiyi's own words, "If the monitoring bracelet is broken, the institute will reissue it for free, but if the mobile phone is broken, you have to buy it yourself..."

"Won't the logistics department reimburse me?"

"At first they were willing to reimburse me, but later... they were only willing to give me the kind of old-fashioned phones that cost two or three hundred yuan."

...

"Are you going to test the function of this crystal?" Zhu Long saw Sun Hang's intention at a glance, "It just so happens that I have a useless thing here."

Zhu Long took something out of the big pocket of his jacket and threw it at Sun Hang.

Sun Hang caught it and saw that it was a stainless steel fork.

"Why do you carry this thing with you?" Sun Hang asked in confusion.

"I was having breakfast when I received the news." Zhu Long smiled awkwardly, "I realized I was still holding the fork in my hand after I ran to the parking lot, so I just put it in my pocket."

"That's fine."

However, Sun Hang looked at the crystal in his left hand and the fork in his right hand, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

If the "Phoenix Factory" relies on this thing to turn those imitation antiques into strange things, then how do they do it specifically?

Is it just a matter of bringing the two together?

Sun Hang brought the things in his hands closer and closer... However, until the stainless steel fork and the crystal were close together, there was still no change.

"Could it be a matter of time?" Zhu Long said, "Those imitations were transformed into strange things a year after the Phoenix Factory disappeared... No, no."

As Zhu Long spoke, he shook his head.

These imitation antiques were obviously not produced at the same time, but the time points when they were transformed into strange things were very concentrated... This is obviously not because this transformation takes time to slowly "ferment".

It is more like a "bomb" that has a set "detonation time" or can be "remotely controlled".

In this case, if you want these "bombs" to explode immediately after they are made, it should be possible in theory.
