Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickly took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Jingxu.
"Liu Xing, what's the matter..."
Before Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Liu Xing interrupted: "Zhang Jingxu, do you know Hanban?"
"Han Ban? You know, this can be regarded as a mythical creature unique to China, because a person who wants to become a Han Ban Jiu must be in a cursed state when he dies, or be buried with some cursed items;
Although there are many kinds of curses that can turn people into drought demons, except for a special drought demon curse, the probability of other curses turning people into drought demons is only about 5%, and the success probability of drought demon curses is
As high as 70%, but this requires certain external conditions, that is, the burial site needs to be in a long-term drought and lack of rain."
"And this Drought Mantra is very special. It must be recited in a local dialect of China that is almost lost, and it has requirements on pitch and speaking speed. It is equivalent to singing a difficult song at a KTV. In the end
The system score is still over 100, so this Drought Demon Curse has always been circulated on a small scale, that is, areas prone to droughts in ancient times; therefore, from ancient times to the present, the Drought Demon has only appeared in China, and the frequency of its occurrence is also
Not high, after all, Drought Demons have very low intelligence and are very aggressive, so those who try to create Drought Demons and control them for their own use are basically asking for trouble in the end."
"Of course, the emergence of some drought demons is purely accidental. For example, in some chaotic times, some secret churches like to put curses on some treasures, and then find ways to give them to those who don't deal with them, and these
People who died because of the curse, or who were buried with these cursed treasures, may turn into drought monsters and suddenly appear to harm the party. For example, I remember that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was a big
After the general died, he turned into a drought demon and directly turned a nearby city into an empty city."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that although Drought Demon only has one ability, which is to heat the surrounding air to achieve the effect of scalding the enemy, but this ability is really powerful, because even if it is a ghoul or the like
Mythical creatures also have a lot of water in their bodies, so they can easily be heated into ghouls in close combat with drought demons. Therefore, when dealing with drought demons, Chinese Daomen can only use long-range spells to deal with them; however, between drought demons
The individual differences are quite large. As I just said, the drought demon who was transformed from a general can defeat more than ten drought demons who were transformed from ordinary people."
"The reason is very simple. Since the Drought Demon is a purely melee-type mythical creature, the stronger the melee ability of a Drought Demon during its lifetime, the more powerful it will be in combat after it completes its transformation. Therefore, some people planned to use Li Yuanba as the Drought Demon back then.
, as a result, they were very unlucky. They were put under the Drought Demon Curse, and Li Yuanba, whose coffin was filled with various cursed items, was buried in a drought-ridden land for several years. As a result, he did not turn into a Drought Demon. Of course, this is also a good thing.
, because if Li Yuanba really becomes a drought demon, I am afraid that the Huaxia Taoist Sect will have to pay a heavy price to kill him."
At this point, Zhang Jingxu asked curiously: "So Liu Xing, why did you suddenly think of asking me about the Hanban?"
"Because there might be a Drybeast right under the farm we live on!"
As soon as Liu Xing said this, he heard a harsh brake sound coming from the other end of the phone, "What the hell, Liu Xing, are you kidding me? How could there be drought demons under the farm where we live? You have to know that since
Since more than five hundred years ago, there has not been a Drought Demon in China! Because those who knew the Drought Demon Curse were all killed or injured in a war, and the Drought Demon was not as useful as a human-faced rat, so over time it became
It has been lost.”
Liu Xing sighed and told Zhang Jingxu the current situation.
After a while, Zhang Jingxu said: "Indeed, it looks like a drought demon is about to be born, but this drought demon should not be underground on the farm, because if it is really underground on the farm, then you should be able to feel it by now.
The temperature underground is abnormal, and the soil on the surface cannot be still in good condition; so I suspect that this dwarf may be located near the farm, but I still can't figure out why there are dwarfs in island countries? You must know that island countries, especially those close to
It is impossible for a long-term drought to occur on the Nagoya side of the sea, and in fact there has been no drought in the past two years, so this drought demon should have stopped changing."
Liu Xing looked at the weather changes in Nagoya in the past two years and found that the summers in the past two years have been hot, but the rainfall is still quite high, so it does not meet the changing conditions of drought. However, according to the experience of the original owner of the farm,
, this drought demon is indeed constantly changing.
Wait, is it?
Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, "Zhang Jingxu, do you think there is such a possibility, that is, using modern technology to prompt the Hanba to complete the changes? For example, install a few high-power light bulbs next to its coffin, and then use
Are these props used to simulate a high temperature and drought environment?”
"Uh, it seems really ok?"
Zhang Jingxu thought for a moment before saying: "In ancient times, there were people who tried to catalyze droughts by using methods such as torches and heated kangs. As a result, they all failed without exception because they could not control the appropriate temperature; but now
It's different. With the development of science and technology, it is easy and effortless for us to control the temperature and other conditions of a room. Therefore, it is indeed possible to use technological means to complete the changes of drought demons. After all, drought demons cannot distinguish the natural environment.
and the artificial environment.”
"Okay, now I'm going to find someone to investigate if there are any companies or households with abnormal power consumption nearby."
After Liu Xing finished speaking, he hung up the phone and then sent a text message to Alice, briefly explaining the current situation.
At this moment, Mr. Guchuan, who was listening silently, said: "Dry Demon? I have heard of this mythical creature before, but as Mr. Zhang Jingxu said, Drought Demon has never appeared in China.
Other places, but the leader once told me that there is a secret church called Researchers, which has been dedicated to studying the physiological structure of various mythical creatures, and this secret church also has branches in the island country."
"Researcher?"
Liu Xing frowned and thought for a while, and found that he had actually heard of this secret church. Of course, this secret church could not be considered a "normal" secret church, because the members of this secret church had only one purpose to gather together -
- Research a variety of mythical creatures.
In addition, there is very little information about this secret church. The outside world only knows that they have a professional capture team that will hunt down lone mythical creatures all over the world. Therefore, many secret churches have researchers
They are regarded as enemies, but they have no way to deal with the researchers, because no one knows where the headquarters of the research association is, nor who the main members of the research association are.
As for the branch mentioned by Onikawa Xiaofu, it is actually a guess, but this guess is quite reliable, because the island country is a very strange place and has gathered a large number of secret churches, which has also led to the diversity of mythical creatures in the island country.
Sex far exceeds that of other countries, except for big countries like China.
So Liu Xing once heard a report from Sawada Yaon, that is, thousands of mythical creatures disappear every year on the island country. This is obviously unreasonable, because no one will abduct mythical creatures, and it is secret
The church is also a group of "upright people". If they kill their opponent's mythical creature, they won't hide it.
Therefore, some people think that researchers have done these good things.
In addition, Liu Xing also heard some analysis about the researcher in the forum. Some people thought that the researcher was probably a secret church led by players. The reason why these players would do this was
In fact, there is only one - to learn more about the specifics of mythical creatures.
After all, the rule book only provides some brief introductions to various mythical creatures, and these mythical creatures are very directly digitized, which results in players' understanding of mythical creatures being superficial.
Although these basic understandings about mythical creatures are very useful for players, after all, there is a saying that as long as the monster can light up its health bar, then we as players will have a way to kill it, so as long as we know this mythical creature
With the general information about the creature, players will know how to deal with it...or how to escape better.
However, Liu Xing, like some other players, feels that it is necessary to understand the specific situation of these mythical creatures in more detail. After all, what the Cthulhu Running Game Hall pursues is authenticity, or in other words, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall
Everything is inherently real, so those mythical creatures can no longer be simply summarized by what is written in the rule book, not to mention that some things are not written in the rule book, such as whether different types of toxins can affect certain mythical creatures.
Creatures produce different effects, or how resistant a certain mythical creature is to different types of magic.
However, no player has ever admitted on the forum that he is a member of the researchers.
So over time, Liu Xing forgot about the researcher. Unexpectedly, he heard the researcher's name again at this time.
But having said that, Liu Xing really thinks that researchers might be interested in the man-made mythical creature like the Drought Demon, which has disappeared for a long time. After all, things are rare and valuable. This researcher has been around for decades, so he should have taken advantage of it long ago.
Common mythical creatures such as ghouls and deep divers have been "researched" for almost all time, so they should also focus on those rarer mythical creatures.
Thinking of this, a story emerged in Liu Xing's mind - a member of the researchers obtained the long-lost Drought Mantra in China, or a cursed item, so he brought it back to the island country
Want to create a brand new drought demon... However, it is also possible that when someone in the island country was buried, his family mistakenly placed a cursed item in his coffin, causing this person to start moving toward
The drought demon evolved, and during the evolution process, because of the high temperature it involuntarily emitted, the nearby land became exactly like today's farms, so the researchers discovered a changing drought demon, so they tried every means to convert this semi-finished product
The drought demon moved out.
All in all, after the researchers got a half-finished Audaba, they took it to the suburbs of Nagoya. Because there are many factories in this area, they can consume a lot of electricity under the guise of factories to maintain a suitable environment for the Audaba.
Changing environment.
The most important thing is that the best way to deal with the Drought Demon is to directly flood it with water, because if the Drought Demon's body temperature drops to a certain level, its abilities in all aspects will be severely weakened, and in the end it will even die like an ordinary person.
.. But having said that, Liu Xing had heard of a ghoul that accidentally fell into the sea. In the end, because it was too far away from the land, it persisted for three days and three nights before sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Known as the "most embarrassing death" ghoul.
Although Liu Xing doesn’t know whether this is true or not, one thing that is certain is that some mythical creatures are only hundreds of millions of points stronger than ordinary humans, so they may die on the spot due to various accidents. For example, Liu Xing heard
There were the deep divers who were electrocuted into cokes by high-voltage electricity, the shoggoths who were poured into concrete piers, and the human-faced rats who died after eating rat poison.
This is very real.
Just when Liu Xing was thinking about the possibility of the Dry Demon being put in a water tank for research by the researchers who captured it, Alice sent back a text message.
This text message was the first question Liu Xing responded to - what happened to the farm before the Zetian family took over.
In addition to what Onikawa Koo discovered, Alice also found out that a mysterious buyer wanted to purchase the farm two years ago. Naturally, he was rejected by the original owner of the farm, so something happened on the farm.
At that time, the original owner of the farm once went to investigate the mysterious buyer and wanted to know if he was behind it. It turned out that the mysterious buyer had opened a fish cannery less than five kilometers away from the farm.
The reason why this buyer wanted to buy the farm at the beginning was because in order to ensure the safety of its own water, the farm specially prepared a small seawater purification device on the beach and connected it to the farm with a pipeline. When necessary,
It can purify sea water to water fruits and vegetables.
Seeing this, Liu Xing began to suspect that the cannery was trying to sell dog meat.
