"Is this, it seems that a mythical creature has attacked the public faction's camp?"
Yin Luyang frowned and said seriously: "And this is a large mythical creature... It should be an earth-boring demon insect!"
Looking at Liu Xing and others who were a little surprised, Yin Luyang continued to explain: "Miskatonic University used to have an experimental project, which was to record the sounds of various mythical creatures releasing spells in daily activities and battles, so as to decipher them.
Although the results of the languages of these mythical creatures and the spells they use are somewhat unsatisfactory, we have recorded the true pronunciations of many mythical creatures. Therefore, from then on, graduate students in occult and other majors at Miskatonic University
There is an additional entry test - identifying mythical creatures by listening to sounds, so I can roughly confirm that the strange noise coming from the other end of the walkie-talkie is actually made by the earth-burrowing demonic insect."
"Earth-boring demonic insects? How did the people from the public faction provoke these terrible guys?"
As Liu Xing, who has seen the earth-boring devil with his own eyes and even been suffocated by the earth-burrowing insect, he still has vivid memories of the performance of the earth-boring devil, especially the effects that the earth-burrowing insect brought to Liu Xing during the pursuit.
The oppressive feeling makes Liu Xing's heart skip a beat just thinking about it now.
Therefore, encountering earth-burrowing devil insects without water source will definitely be a very bad experience.
So is there water on Mount Fuji? Of course there is, and there is a lot of it, but most of this water exists in the form of ice and snow, and the remaining water is distributed in several mountain lakes.
Therefore, there are no visible water sources in most areas of Mount Fuji. Therefore, Liu Xing and others carried a large amount of mineral water when they went up the mountain to ensure that they would not be short of water on Mount Fuji.
Although the earthworm is very afraid of water, it is not advisable to talk about toxicity regardless of dosage. Therefore, if you want to make an adult earthworm escape because of fear of water, you only need to rely on people to drink it bottle by bottle.
It is definitely unrealistic to pour water on it, not to mention how many people dare to throw cold water on it when faced with a sudden attack by an earth-boring demon insect?
Isn’t this boring life?
Therefore, without support, unless the public faction's camp has a powerful mythical creature like Baruka or the Scarlet Ghoul, it is impossible to stop this earth-burrowing demonic insect.
At this moment, a voice came from the intercom, "Let me go, why did this earth-boring demonic insect attack the public faction's camp? And it seemed very angry?"
As expected, the thing causing a commotion all over Mount Fuji is indeed an earth-burrowing demonic insect.
But then again, why did this earth-boring demonic insect suddenly attack the camp of the public faction? And it was still in a very angry state? Could it be that someone in that camp didn't have the foresight to make it angry?
"Summon the Earth-Burrowing Demonic Insect?"
Zhang Jingxu put forward his own idea, "Could it be that someone used the magic to summon/contact the earth-burrowing demon insects when they were idle? As a result, the earth-burrowing demon insects felt as if they were being tricked, so they came to make such a big fuss in the camp.
drama?"
"It is indeed possible. Under normal circumstances, if you use a spell to summon or contact the earth-burrowing insect, then you have to think in advance how to appease the upcoming earth-burrowing insect to ensure that it does not
It will complete the task you gave it, or you can stay with it peacefully for a while, and then happily send it away; this is like you calling to invite a gold medal thug, but someone else comes and you
Tell him that you don't have a penny on you, so it's a good thing if he doesn't beat you to death."
Yin Luyang shook his head and said with a smile: "When talking about this, I remembered a story my grandfather told me - Mr. Ye loves dragons. I believe everyone has heard of the popular version of Mr. Ye loves dragons. He is a person who likes dragons very much.
, as a result, I was frightened when I saw the real dragon. The version told by my grandpa was actually very similar. The difference was that the dragon was actually summoned by Ye Gong himself because he bought a copy of "The Dragon" from a roadside stall.
One Hundred Ways to Summon a Dragon"."
"The title of this book is quite strange, but it's good that ordinary people like Mr. Ye didn't get scared to death when they saw a dragon for the first time." Liu Xing said with a smile.
Liu Xing has also heard of the Cthulhu Mythos version of "Ye Gong Loves Dragons" in the real world. It is nothing more than Ye Gong really summoning "dragons" through various methods, but there are so many kinds of dragons here, just
Liu Xing had heard of more than ten kinds of dragon-like mythical creatures, so Liu Xing was not sure what kind of "dragon" Ye Gong saw.
""One Hundred Ways to Summon a Dragon" is actually a pseudo-magic book that was once very popular in China. From what I saw, it was just a very capable veteran who had nothing to do, so he and a few friends collected various information about dragon-like types.
The story of mythical creatures is put together, and then other spells are modified and treated as spells to summon these dragon-like mythical creatures. Logically speaking, nothing can be summoned, so this is essentially a layman's book.
A lively, insider’s storytelling session.”
"So at that time, when you don't know whether the other person really has something or is just an ordinary monk and Taoist priest, you can use this book to ask his opinion, so that you can know whether he and you are on the same page.
people; at the beginning, these books were only circulated in this small circle. As a result, some books later became popular among the people for various reasons, but these books did not cause any waves. After all, the summoning spells in the books were all
it is wrong."
"In the end, Mr. Ye made one mistake after another, and actually summoned a dragon-type mythical creature. Fortunately, someone nearby took action at that time, otherwise Mr. Ye's love for dragons would have turned into Mr. Ye summoning a dragon to destroy the city. Later, these books were
They were all collected and destroyed, because no one knew whether other summoning spells could also summon a dragon-type mythical creature with some modifications. You must know that the combat effectiveness of this dragon-type mythical creature is generally not low, and burrowing into the ground
Demonic insects are also one of them."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jingxu looked at Mount Fuji and shook his head: "So now I also suspect that someone from the public faction camp is looking for trouble and used a spell that he didn't know the specific effect of, because there are many spells circulating.
There are no instructions for use during the process, so this kind of nameless spell is like opening a blind box. If you are lucky, a gold nugget may appear directly, but if you are not lucky, a poisonous snake will appear."
"Then this is indeed quite exciting, but it is a good thing for us. Without a bloody battle, we will lose a public faction camp." Shi Zixuan said with a smile.
"Yes, unless the public faction is sure to directly kill the earth-boring demonic insect, their best way is to let the earth-boring demonic insect destroy the camp and wait for it to leave on its own, because then send people there
It's just a waste of money; but more importantly, no one knows if there are more earth-boring bugs underground. If they get rid of this earth-boring bug, more earth-boring bugs will be attracted.
If the insect avenges him, then this matter will be troublesome."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Shimazu Nakano's voice came from the intercom, "Please note, everyone, we are now preparing to counterattack Mount Fuji. If that earth-boring demonic insect can cause more damage, then we will
You can take advantage of the chaos to attack."
"clear."
"learn."
Listening to the response from the walkie-talkie, Liu Xing nodded and said: "If the anger of the earth-boring devil can be extinguished without destroying a camp, then it would be a good choice to take advantage of the chaos to counterattack Mount Fuji now, because this earth-boring devil is
The insect is enough to disrupt the defense arrangements of the public factions, but the water can carry the boat and capsize it. If not handled properly, this earth-boring demonic insect may in turn attack us."
"Yes, launching a counterattack now is a big gamble. If we win, we will win the civil war, but if we lose, we may not have the capital to launch another attack."
Zhang Wenbing frowned and continued: "So should we start making preparations? In fact, if we go up the mountain now, it may be very dangerous no matter whether we win or lose, because even if Shimadzu Nakano and the others win a big victory, they will not be able to eliminate Tai
There are many enemies, so we may encounter a defeated army dozens of times ours. If they can't defeat Shimazu Nakano and others, can they still defeat us? As for Shimazu Nakano and others, if they lose, then we can
It just depends on how far you can run."
"Yeah, I also think it's better for us to stay here honestly now. If someone escapes here, we can safely collect tolls. If there is no one, we will go directly up the mountain to meet Shimazu Nakano and the others.
, when the time comes, there will be no credit but hard work." Zhang Jingxu nodded and said.
Ever since, Watanabe Ryusei just removed all the outer checkpoints and asked everyone to return to the river defense.
In the end, the battle did not start, because after the earth-boring demonic insect completely razed the camp to the ground, it disappeared directly into the soil. Therefore, the disappointed Shimazu Nakano could only order everyone to stop preparing for the war and continue to wait for the opportunity.
.
Liu Xing and others restored the outer checkpoints, and then a group of people continued to walk and chat in the forest, which was considered a good activity.
To be honest, Liu Xing now regrets not going to the tunnel with Yin En and others. At least there you can hide and play poker or something, which is better than walking around here with nothing to do...
"So the question is, what should we do in the subsequent counterattack on Mount Fuji? We can't really intercept the public faction's rout, right?"
Faced with Zhang Wenbing's question, Liu Xing shook his head and said: "Of course, there are so few of us and we don't want to be a mantis, so I think our mission is just three words - the atmosphere team, run up and scare the people from the public faction.
That’s it. After we complete the mission, we can just find a place to hide and wait to enjoy the fruits of victory.”
Speaking of this, Liu Xing thought of the treasure map and the "undersea maze" again, so while Yin Luyang was by his side, Liu Xing quickly asked: "By the way, Professor Yin, have you ever explored the sea at Miskatonic University?"
Ancient ruins? I think your footprints should have spread all over the land, so you should have thought about taking a trip underwater, and you should also be able to explore these underwater ruins."
Yin Luyang looked at Liu Xing with some surprise, then nodded and said: "Yes, although it is a bit troublesome to explore the underwater ruins, it is not an impossible task, so we at Miskatonic University have indeed tried to explore several
The harvest from ancient ruins offshore is indeed better than those on land, because the underwater environment is relatively more stable, and there are no bold thieves who would dare to go in and die; but if something happens to the ruins under the sea, then
Ninety-nine percent of them will be destroyed directly, so our Miskatonic University has not approved the exploration team of the underwater ruins for a long time."
"Yes, we humans are still too weak after all. Although we can use various equipment to make ourselves a lot stronger, we will return to our original shape as soon as we leave these equipment. Therefore, if the expedition team to the underwater ruins loses their diving equipment,
Just finish playing." Zhang Jingxu agreed.
Yin Luyang nodded and said with some fear: "I almost went to participate in an adventure project about Atlantis. I had already packed my luggage, but my mother was hospitalized because of a car accident, so
I gave up the expedition project...and then the expedition team lost contact the next day, and there is no news at all to this day."
"Atlantis? Mu continent?"
Looking at Liu Xing with a surprised look on his face, Yin Luyang shook his head and said: "Atlantis is just a project code name. Basically, we will call the ancient ruins related to the ocean Atlantis first, and then we will call them Atlantis based on the results of the exploration."
Change its name; as for the real ruins of Atlantis, we have actually found it, but because the difficulty of the expedition is really high, we at Miskatonic University have never taken any official action."
"Then the ruins of Atlantis are really worth something. Otherwise, with your Miskatonic University's fearless temper, how could you give up in front of a small ruin?" Shi Zixuan smiled.
said.
Yin Luyang shook his head quickly and said seriously: "The ruins of Atlantis are actually nothing, or the Atlantis civilization itself is just a very ordinary civilization, just because Plato promoted it
, so its reputation is very great; as for why the ruins of Atlantis scare us, the reason is that a group of uninvited guests came to the ruins - Shoggoths, and these Shoggoths began to refer to the ruins.
