Baihecheng looked at the monkey in front of him and murmured to himself: "There are not many things related to monkeys in the Cthulhu Mythology, so this should be an original plot of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, so there is a high probability that
It refers to some legends and allusions in the real world, but if there are any stories about monkeys in South America, it would be strange for me to know..."
Before Baihecheng finished speaking, another crisp bell rang.
At this time, there was another monkey in front of Baihe City.
But at this moment, Baihe City had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility - San Bu Monkey.
Don't listen, don't speak, don't watch.
"It turns out to be the Three Don'ts Monkey. No wonder every time I see it, hear the bell, or talk, there will be an extra monkey. It turns out it's because it violates these three Don'ts."
Baihecheng thought for a while, closed his eyes and covered his ears with his hands, then bit his lip and walked forward, but suddenly missed a few steps.
Baihecheng opened his eyes subconsciously, and then found that the monkey was no longer in front of him, and Mo Jin and the kayak also appeared behind him, but at this time, Mo Jin was still trapped in the hallucination of the three monkeys.
, so he stood there like a scarecrow.
Baihe City thought for a while and decided that he should not go up and "shake up" Mo Jin, because Baihe City didn't know if doing so would have any side effects on Mo Jin, and the illusion of the Three Monkeys didn't seem to be dangerous, after all.
Those monkeys didn't come down from some mountain.
So Baihe City ignored Mo Jin for the time being and searched for treasures on the island alone. It didn't take long before he discovered an unusual pile of stones, because this pile of stones was made of obsidian.
As we all know, obsidian is produced when magma meets water... Just kidding, obsidian actually appears when magma cools down rapidly, so whether you splash water or turn on the air conditioner and blow it directly, you can actually make obsidian, and obsidian also has
A very interesting feature is that obsidian generally contains about one percent moisture. After all, magma is also a liquid, so obsidian will also lock some moisture in it when it cools down rapidly and condenses.
It is precisely because of this approximately one percent moisture that the structure of obsidian becomes relatively tight, so the edges will be very sharp after being knocked into pieces. Therefore, many people in ancient times used obsidian fragments as weapons, such as Nan.
Major Civilizations of the Americas.
Therefore, some people think that the reason why the Aztecs, Mayans, etc. in South America are relatively backward in metal smelting is that in addition to the difficulty of mining the ores in South America, another reason is that the large amount of local obsidian has replaced metal weapons and weapons.
The role of metal tools such as kitchen knives, and obsidian is easier to obtain, so civilizations such as the Aztecs chose to use local materials - obsidian.
"These obsidians were obviously brought by some people from other places. After all, there cannot be a volcano on this island, so obsidian cannot be formed naturally. Moreover, these obsidians happen to be concentrated together, but these obsidians are all
It’s a little small.”
As Baihecheng spoke, he picked up an obsidian the size of a fingernail, "I remember that in Indian legends, obsidian is also called the Tears of the Apache. It is said that a warrior of a certain Indian tribe was ambushed by the enemy.
The mother, wife, sister and daughter were all wiped out, so after learning that at this time, the mother, wife, sisters and daughter cried sadly for them. In the end, the tears turned into obsidian, and the person who got the obsidian will no longer cry, because someone has already cried for him.
pass."
"White River City, what are you talking to yourself here?"
Mo Jin suddenly spoke and startled Baihe City.
"Here, can you please stop talking suddenly? This scary person will scare people to death." Baihecheng said angrily: "It is my habit to talk to myself, because it is not easy to understand the words I hold in my heart.
If you clear your mind, your words will be much better, but then again, you must have encountered the illusion of the three monkeys."
Mo Jin nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, I realized at the beginning that these might be three monkeys, because the timing of these monkeys' appearance was so special. However, I was not in a hurry to crack this environment. Instead, I wanted to
I tried to make those monkeys more, and I turned into hundreds of monkeys. I wanted to see if these monkeys would do anything new, but unfortunately these monkeys were just looking at me."
"It seems that the person who created this illusion has no murderous intentions. Otherwise, the three monkeys who will attack will be very dangerous. After all, these monkeys are agile and have home field bonuses. However, I am very confused about it. Then
The story of the Three Monkeys is mainly spread in China and its surrounding areas, so why do the Three Monkeys appear in this place? You must know that this treasure should have been left by a famous pirate more than 500 years ago. At that time, things
The communication between the two sides is still very limited. Those pirates only read Marco Polo’s travel notes. No, they should have only heard some distorted stories that have been circulated for a long time.”
Baihe City put down the obsidian and continued: "So those pirates should have never heard of the story of the Sanbu Monkeys, and they have no reason to set up an illusion of the Sanbu Monkeys. After all, if they really want to create an illusion to confuse outsiders who come to the island, how can they
It is better to just get a Bahamut to guard the island; so I think there may be something wrong with the treasure map I obtained before, and it may not be left by the pirates hundreds of years ago."
Hearing what Baihe City said, Mo Jin replied indifferently: "That's true, but I think these pirates may be related to the deep divers, and this, or these deep divers may have been to China, so these
When the deep divers arranged the illusion, they decided to use the story of the Three Monkeys as a model. Because the locals here did not know the legend of the Three Monkeys, it was difficult for them to leave the illusion in a short time; not to mention that this might also be a counterattack.
The Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall is deliberately burying easter eggs, because I heard that the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall likes to play with the Sanbu Monkeys' jokes. This is almost to the point of exploiting every opportunity, so now we are encountering the illusion of the Sanbu Monkeys.
It’s quite normal.”
Mo Jin's conjecture convinced Baihe City, who nodded and said: "That's true. I've also heard that the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall likes the allusion of the Three No Monkeys very much, and even specially created the Three No Monkeys.
Mythical creatures, it is said that players will be deprived of certain abilities as long as they see the three monkeys, and if you commit the other two monkeys at this time, then you may permanently lose your speech, hearing or vision. In short
It's quite scary."
"So some players think that most of the mod writers in the Cthulhu Run game lobby are Chinese, so that's why the three monkeys appeared, and they turned the three monkeys into a meme."
Mo Jin looked at the obsidian on the ground and continued: "This should be obsidian, right? Isn't this common in areas with frequent volcanic activity? So if there are no micro-volcanoes on this small island, these obsidian should be outsiders.
Bring it."
"I think so too, but Mo Jin, don't you think these obsidians are a bit too small? Normal obsidians are very large, because magma appears in large pieces, so these obsidians should have been processed.
But I just took a look and found that these obsidians don't seem to have any traces of processing." Baihecheng said seriously: "So I suspect that these obsidians may come from a submarine volcano with a very small flow, so these obsidians are like this.
It’s small, but no matter how small the submarine volcano is, it’s not a place that ordinary people can go, and who would go to collect this kind of obsidian near the submarine volcano?”
"You are right, normal people would not do this, but the people who can arrange the Sanbuhou Illusion on such a small island and bury treasures should not be very normal. Of course, these are not important, the important thing is
Will there be treasures under these obsidian stones?" Mo Jin said with a smile.
After Mo Jin said this, Baihe City slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, I am putting the cart before the horse when I study obsidian here. The focus is whether there is any treasure here."
As Baihecheng spoke, he swept the obsidian aside, and then started digging directly. After all, the claws of ghouls and deep divers are much easier to use than shovels.
Seeing this situation, Mo Jin said with some envy: "White River City, you are so awesome, you can transform into a mythical creature at will so quickly, and I still have to make some preparations to become a semi-deep diver... But
Speaking of which, did you hear that Wang Qi and the others suddenly appeared again?"
Hearing the name "Wang Qi", Baihe City sneered, "It's not like Xue Ba and those guys are causing trouble. I don't know what they think. They suddenly gave away all the character cards that have been confirmed to be ripped out.
They were resurrected and turned into a group of complete NPCs, but these are not the point. The point is that Xue Ba and others directly used the distraction technique to control these character cards."
"Yeah, I don't know what Xue Ba and the others are thinking. They dare to use the distraction technique on NPCs. You must know that the distraction technique is equivalent to a life link. If Wang Qi and others are injured, Xue Ba and the others will share half of it.
The pain, and if Wang Qi and others died directly, then Xue Ba and the others would not be much better. It would be good to be able to save their lives." Mo Jin put his hands on his hips and said: "And these have been torn apart.
The props and points on NPCs have been directly cleared, so there is no benefit in controlling these NPCs. At the same time, the player's character card will have fewer skills and skill points than the NPC."
"So what Xue Ba and others value is the identity of these NPCs, or the identity of the original owners of these character cards."
Baihecheng said with great certainty: "I think Xue Ba and the others are preparing to set up a trap for Liu Xing and others, because Liu Xing knows that Wang Qi has passed away in the real world, so now Wang Qi's character card appears in Liu Xing's
The situation in front of him will definitely make Liu Xing doubtful and worried, so Xue Ba will have more things to plan."
Mo Jin nodded, and then said with some hesitation: "Well, why do you and Xue Ba like to target Liu Xing? I think Liu Xing is quite good, and Liu Xing's player team and us also
Is there no conflict of interest?"
Baihecheng was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "This is what you don't know, Mo Jin. In fact, we and Liu Xing have fundamental conflicts of interest, but these conflicts have been temporarily hidden, or it is time to
arrive."
"Okay, although I think Liu Xing is pretty good, but now that he has become our enemy, I won't hold back, not to mention he almost tore up our character card before."
As soon as Mo Jin finished speaking, Baihecheng found that he seemed to have dug a wooden box, but the surface of this wooden box was very hard, and even Baihecheng's claws could not damage it at all.
"There is indeed something."
Mo Jin said in surprise: "White River City, please get this box out quickly and let's see what treasures are inside."
Baihecheng nodded and immediately dug out the wooden box, because this wooden box was about the same size as an old-fashioned computer, but the lock on the box had long been broken due to rust, so Baihecheng
Opened the box effortlessly.
Three monkeys!
Three three monkeys made of gold, jade and agate!
"Ah, no wonder the illusion arranged on the island uses the allusion of the Three Monkeys. It turns out that the treasure is the Three Monkeys." Mo Jin said in surprise: "But the workmanship of these three monkeys is quite good, and the choice of
The materials are also very valuable now, so if you can tell a reasonable story about them, then these three monkeys should be able to sell for a good price."
Baihecheng nodded first, then shook his head and said: "These three monkeys are indeed quite valuable, but compared with the treasures I imagined, they are not worth it, so unless they are sent to the auction house to speculate on the price, otherwise
We still can’t afford a new boat.”
Looking at these fist-sized Sanbu monkeys, Mo Jin agreed with Baihe City's statement and felt that although these monkeys could be sold at high prices, it was still too much to think about changing to a better ship.
"However, this box should also be a good antique, because the pattern on it is very good, and its texture is also very hard, which is not at the same level as other woods I know."
Baihecheng put the wooden box aside, and when he was about to continue digging, he suddenly discovered that the obsidian on the ground had turned gray-white, and the originally smooth surface had become pitted.
"What's happening here?"
Mo Jin asked himself and answered: "By the way, there is still a certain amount of water in obsidian, so this water can be evaporated through high temperature, and then the obsidian that has evaporated the water will become like this."
