"It seems that there is also a very powerful alchemist among the Deta people, and this guy is really ruthless. He even understands this kind of alchemy formation involving living bodies."
Norton shook his head and continued: "Of course, from a modern perspective, this is indeed a terrible thing. This alchemist is also worthy of verbal criticism, but under the circumstances back then, I can understand it very well.
What this alchemist has done, after all, this living body formation formation can be regarded as being able to advance, attack, retreat and defend, which is the alchemist's strongest skill."
Liu Xing felt that Norton was right. Nowadays, many people like to point out some things done by the ancients, and even use them to attack them. This makes Liu Xing a little confused, because all kinds of things in ancient times
The situation is very different from now. Isn't it a bit too much for you to use the sword of this dynasty to kill the officials of the previous dynasty?
So from a modern perspective, Liu Xing also feels that the alchemist turned tens of thousands of Deta people into a "ghost". This is simply beyond words to describe its evil, but what it did was
In order to repel an enemy defeated by normal means, which was a desperate counterattack, Liu Xing can only say that it is understandable.
"Let's go down and take a look and determine what is going on with this formation."
Norton said as he walked: "Alchemist is a very old profession, but alchemists have only had a few professional routes, and the spells used in each route and the basis of the alchemy formation have not changed much.
There have been many changes, so even if it is a formation formed tens of thousands of years ago, you only need to see through a few key points to know its specific function and operation process, but more importantly, 90% of ancient civilizations existed
I follow the traces of alchemists, which is why I am so popular at Miskatonic University, because many people need to come to me to study the various alchemy formations and alchemical products they have discovered."
"As for why alchemy has been passed down for so long, in my opinion, the main reason is that alchemy is too simple. It can be regarded as a low-end version of the spell type, because even a person without any magic foundation can construct it according to the script.
A complete and usable alchemy array, which can also produce some alchemical products that are not demanding, so the alchemist is easy to get started with but difficult to master, because there are many details that need to be worked out; in this way, the alchemist
It became the mainstay of ancient civilizations, using these alchemical techniques to fight against powerful mythical creatures."
Liu Xing and others followed Norton and couldn't help but nodded, because as Norton said, alchemy is the easiest supernatural skill for players to learn in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, but most players
Alchemy can only reach the entry level, and the value hovers between 25 and 30, so this can only be said to be better than nothing.
"So at Miskatonic University, alchemy is already a compulsory subject. Although you are nominally students of Miskatonic University, you are actually partners of Miskatonic University, so we will not
What are the mandatory requirements for you? Of course, if you are willing, you can come to my alchemy class and learn something more or less."
Norton suddenly stopped and said seriously: "This smell is a bit strange. It seems that this formation is more evil than I thought."
Liu Xing smelled it carefully, and indeed smelled a light fragrance. If I had to describe it, it was similar to Fengyoujing.
"If I remember correctly, this smell comes from a mythical creature called the hypnotic tapir. You also know that tapirs have always been considered to have the ability to hypnotize, and this is indeed the case. There was a creature in ancient times.
Tapirs can emit a scent that can hypnotize any creature through their sachets. According to legend, even the earth-burrowing demon insects and the Star Familia have been affected by this trick, so this mythical creature called the hypnotic tapir has been around for a long time.
Extinct, after all, everyone wants to get their sachets."
Norton put his hands on his hips and said: "Of course, there are also people who try to breed these hypnotic tapirs, but the result is that these hypnotic tapirs will completely degrade their sachets after they live a comfortable life, because every time the hypnotic tapirs use the sachet, they will
He lost a certain amount of vitality, so someone later conducted research in this area and determined that if a hypnotic tapir kills chickens to obtain eggs, it can only use hypnosis three times in a short period of time.
It can only increase the number of times to five times, so the plan to breed hypnotic tapirs is unrealistic."
"But then again, the alchemist who did all this can be regarded as spending a lot of money. He first used the hypnotic tapir's sachet to control all the Delta people so that they could walk more peacefully, and then started the refining process.
Forming an array... But there is one thing to say, there are actually quite a few requirements for refining an array with a living body, the most important of which is to ensure that the living body is awake, because the final result of refining an array with a living body will most likely be to create a
It is a new living body, so it is necessary to ensure that the participants are awake so that they can get better shape."
Having said this, Norton sighed, "If all participants have been hypnotized, then the result of this formation will be very uncertain, because after being hypnotized, everything seems to be empty.
In fact, we are constantly thinking wildly, so the settings that have been made for the formation will be affected. Therefore, what the enemies we may face later look like and what abilities they have are completely random.
But this also means that the Delta people really don’t intend to live anymore.”
"This is like opening a blind box. The Delta people put all their trump cards in and then left without looking back, because they no longer care what the blind box opens." Elizabeth shook her head and said.
"So we don't have to go down anymore, because this formation has no reference value, but one thing we can be sure of is that the monster summoned by this formation is a living dead, and it has no breath of life and autonomy.
It has the ability to think, so what it does may come from the instinct deep in the soul, so we have to use the way of thinking of a beast to consider what it will do." Norton nodded and said.
"Really?"
Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "Actually, I had a very strange dream when I first came here. An old acquaintance of mine said that it left some good things for me here. It's in this ruins.
I kept it in the treasure house; because I thought it was a bit outrageous at the time and thought it was a strange dream I had, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. But now that I think about it, I doubt that this dream was sent to me by this monster. Now
It seems that it wants to guide us to the treasure house, and it is most likely there."
When Liu Xing asked, Elizabeth smiled and replied: "This is actually normal. Many mythical creatures without thinking ability also do this trick because they know it is very effective."
"Yes, the lack of thinking ability does not mean that they have no intelligence. On the contrary, this type of mythical creatures believe in their own intuition. Therefore, after they find that a certain method is very effective, they will choose this method to deal with the enemy in the future. Then
I'm afraid they can't understand why this method is so effective; not to mention that this monster was made by so many Delta people, and it should also have some memories of the Delta people, so it knows how to use treasures to guide us to find it.
It's normal." Norton said: "So we can now confirm that this monster is most likely to be near the treasure house, and for an ancient civilization like the Delta people, the treasure house is most likely to be near the palace!"
"I asked the Dak bug man before and confirmed that the Deta people also have a king, and the Deta people have very strong vitality, so the king is usually chosen through a duel. After all, how can there be seventy people in the world?
The prince of the year? So if nothing else happens, the palace should be not far from this gymnasium, because the venue for the duel is most likely this gymnasium, so the winner can quickly go to the palace to ascend the throne after leaving the gymnasium.
Wang...but the question remains, we already know that this monster is very powerful, so do we still need to go and take a look at it?"
Liu Xing looked at his mission panel and found that he had obtained preliminary information about "ghosts and gods" - how they appeared. It seemed that this "ghosts and gods" were indeed created by the refining array in the gymnasium.
At the same time, Liu Xing has completed the main mission and can now leave the ruins.
"To be on the safe side, we'd better leave the ruins directly." Ricky said decisively: "Judging from the current situation, we definitely have no way to deal with this monster. In the past, we even found ourselves in the trap of a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, seeking death.
So it’s better for us to leave now and talk about other things later.”
As soon as Ricky finished speaking, Liu Xing felt the ground shaking again, but more importantly, Liu Xing could already hear the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, not far from his left hand side.
This "ghost" is not far from the gymnasium!
"Walk!"
Norton said decisively: "We just brought some light weapons in. It has no effect at all against this behemoth, so it's better not to meet it."
Liu Xing deeply agrees with this.
But just when Liu Xing turned around and wanted to leave, he suddenly found a figure standing up unsteadily not far away.
This is?
Liu Xing took a closer look and determined that it was the skeleton of a Delta man, but it could actually move!
Click click click...
Following a series of bones rubbing together, Liu Xing saw that all the Deta skeletons that had been lying flat stood up.
"What is going on? Is that monster a necromancer?"
Complaints are complaints, Liu Xing and others have also realized that something is wrong. This "ghost" seems to want to use these skeletons to trap his group, so Liu Xing and others quickly ran away, and of course there was no
I forgot to take out my weapons and prepare to deal with these slow and leisurely skeletons... But to be honest, although these skeletons seem to be outnumbered, their speed is really impressive, and more importantly, Liu
Xing has also studied the skeletal structure of these Delta people and found that as a flying creature, their bones naturally need to reduce weight in order to fly better, so Liu Xing feels that the total weight of the bones of an adult Delta is less than
Ten pounds.
Of course, the total weight of the bones of an average human is actually only about fifteen kilograms, so after Liu Xing learned this in college, he suddenly felt that the skeleton soldiers in the novel and game suddenly became weak chickens, because
Their weight is about the same as that of kindergarten children, so if they really want to fight, ordinary people can knock a skeleton soldier apart with one punch.
After all, without considering some special circumstances, weight represents the level of combat effectiveness.
However, there is also a saying that an elephant will be killed by too many ants, so the densely packed skeletons made Liu Xing and others run faster, because Liu Xing and others knew very well that if they were dragged down by a skeleton, how many people would there be?
Tens or hundreds of skeletons rushed toward him.
Of course, Liu Xing did not forget to use the intercom to notify Zhang Jingxu and others outside to run away quickly, or to go and see what the situation was like outside.
As a result, when Liu Xing and others ran to the door of the gymnasium, they saw Zhang Jingxu and others using a stick each to smash the frame of the person who was approaching him into pieces.
Fortunately, there were not many skeletons along the way, and their speed was very slow, and they would fall to the ground from time to time, so these skeletons did not pose a threat to Zhang Jingxu and others at all.
"Come on, let's leave the ruins quickly!"
Norton said loudly: "There are tens of thousands of skeletons chasing us inside, so we must get out of here as soon as possible!"
Hearing what Norton said, Zhang Jingxu and others, who were originally quite leisurely, immediately became nervous. They no longer waited for the skeletons to get close to them before taking action, but took the initiative to turn these skeletons into bone scum.
At this time, Liu Xing finally discovered why these skeletons suddenly moved, because they were controlled by tiny tentacles, and these tentacles looked like tree roots.
It seems that this "ghost" should be a tree man.
Liu Xing took the wooden stick, or rather a chair leg, handed over by Yin En, and directly knocked off the head of a skeleton in front of him. Then he saw the tree root controlling it retreating into the darkness at an extremely fast speed.
middle.
But now Liu Xing had no time to think about it, let alone the time and idea to pursue these tree roots, or follow the clues to find the "ghost"... and die.
