229 The Flesh Mystery
229 The Mysterious Image of the Body
After rescuing Hadron's body, he found several strange objects with strange functions, and also a force field wrist shield that can protect the body.
In general, although it was a little thrilling to clean up the ruins of the underground temple, the benefits were huge. Just searching for the coffin and the 1,300 gold coins they got, it was enough [.com]
Although players' ability to obtain game coins has increased a lot as their strength increases, more than a thousand gold coins are still a huge wealth that is enough to shock the player's power. This is not a huge sum that a single player can own. Even if it is raised by the power units of the game guild and the player family, it is still a wealth of the entire guild, not the wealth of the senior management of a certain guild.
I conquered the Grave of the High Priest. Although it was only in the game, the group of people still felt exhausted, so I decided to pause the exploration action and take a break for the time being.
The Lion and the others who just ran away came back with the chores. Of course, the main personnel like Wutong and Wuwu were not worried about the rest. Naturally, some people were responsible for the aftermath and. They were delayed so much just now. These people have completed the room they had conquered in front and carried out simple repairs and restoration. They are doing the final cleaning and decoration work. I believe it will not take long to put it into use.
I have to say that this is a crazy idea in the dungeon where undead creatures are rampant, but if I can really occupy it, it will undoubtedly be a very cost-effective thing. It is ahead of other player organizations and I don’t know how many of them have their own exclusive locations.
This is no different from occupying the novice villages in name. Although there is no official ownership, there is no NPC here that will point fingers at players, and their autonomy lies in their own hands. In the twenty-four novice villages on each Trial Island, even if players other than their own personnel are driven away, they still have to obey the rules set by the NPCs. Moreover, whether it is transactions or transactions, they need to pay taxes and fees to the lords of the village. If they do not obey, the consequences will be very serious.
"Where are the eight heavy armored zombies just now?"
While sending people to guard the entrance of the passage opposite the senior priest’s tomb to prevent monsters from suddenly rushing out of the passage that had not been cleared, the lion asked curiously.
Wutong was not very clear, so she could only turn her eyes to Wu, who was responsible for attracting heavy armored zombies just now. Wu's thumbs up with the direction of the large pool: "I'm soaking."
A group of people looked at each other, and suddenly stood up and went to visit. Such a powerful monster was trapped, which was very tempting for them. If they could kill the other party while the other party could not attack them, it was judged that those heavy armored zombies were at least level fifty or sixty. In terms of their level, this was considered a bonus of soul energy points that exceeded the level?
However, when everyone saw the eight heavy armored zombies soaked in the large pool, they were all stunned because they saw two caltrop fish attacking madly in the water, and their movements were obviously slower and slower.
However, the heavy armored zombies who lost the control of the Ghost Priest did not notice the "fish" that attacked them at all. They lost their targets and wandered aimlessly in the pool, without realizing that they were soaked in the water. Their heavy bodies were destined to be impossible for them to climb up from a large pool of four or five meters deep.
Everyone has seen the cruelty of the caltropfish, but the sharp caltropfish can bite off the steel teeth. It can only make scratches on the cast iron armor on the heavy armor zombies. If it weren't for soaking in water, it would probably splash directly.
Not broken
With the damage ability of the caltrop fish, it chewed on the body of the iron armored zombie, but it didn't break the defense?
Although I don’t know how many levels of the caltrop fish are, Wutong, who has fought with these two strange fish several times, is estimated that the level of these two fish is at least above level 25. Because of the game for so many days, Bai Wutong has gradually discovered some secrets in the game that are not recorded in any information and strategies.
It is said to be a secret, but in fact, most advanced players and experienced old players have already discovered it. That is, players cannot see too much monster information than their level, but they can judge the approximate level of monsters based on the amount of information they can see.
Before he has no special detection skills, after attacking the opponent, he can see the six basic attributes and level numbers that are not more than the enemy level 3 or above. However, the more his level is higher than the enemy, the more detailed the data he can see.
For example, now he looks at level 0 toads, except:
【Life 80, first attack +1, damage 17, defense 10, speed 5】
In addition to these six basic attributes, you can also see for example:
Special Attack: None
Features: amphibious, dim vision
Savings: Strong +2, Reflection +3, Will +2
Attributes: Strength 1, Agility 12, Physical 11, Intelligence 1, Perception 14, Charm 4
Skills: Hiding +21, Listening +4, Scout +4
Expertise: alertness, protection color.
Area: Temperate swamp
Organization: a large group
Challenge level: 0
Evolution: None
Level adjustment: None
And so on, such data that are so detailed to the limit, although usually, such detailed information is not available in battle. Players only need to know the opponent's attack, defense, blood, and speed values, and judge whether they can beat them.
But at some point, you have to say that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. For some dangerous or very special monsters, the basic attributes do not represent its danger, just like some high-level monsters are lower than those of low-level monsters.
The method of determining the level of monsters in "Endlessness" is not based on a certain attribute, but on its danger. This is closely related to its living environment, ethnic characteristics, life form and other external and internal factors. Only when you know more about it can you arrange the most appropriate combat mode for it, saving time, effort and effective.
Therefore, when you don’t understand a new monster, you will rashly launch an attack. To be honest, it is a rough technique that uses life experience. Some advanced players or old players usually disdain to do this kind of physical work. They attach much importance to monster information and intelligence than ordinary players.
Wutong has only noticed this in the past two days. From the damage caused by the skeleton that fell into the large pond before, it can be calculated that the basic damage of the skeleton fish is as high as 200+, but such an attack is not painful or itchy when gnawing on the heavy armored zombies. Even Miss is too lazy to float around, which is very telling.
Although this phenomenon has a certain relationship with the protective power of the fully sealed heavy cast iron armor on the heavy armor zombie, the attributes of the heavy armor zombie themselves are probably amazing. Maybe it's far more than the level 50 or 60 that Wutong judged before
Half of the cigarette was aimed at the caltropfish that was turning out from time to time with a long bow and shot an arrow. After discovering this situation, he said strikingly: "What are the origins of these cans of iron? So perverted? This is no longer the boss's level. Damn it is at the level of a divine beast, this?"
Half a cigarette is an old player who has experienced many online games. Naturally, he noticed these details first than Wutong, and it was easy to infer that at this stage, the attacks of most players are simply impossible to break the defense of these eight cans, whether it is physical damage or spell damage.
Hadren, holding his chin for several layers, stared at the heavy armored zombies in the large pool, observed thoughtfully for a while, frowned and thought hard about something. After a while, he suddenly spread his palms and punched them in his palms, and said with a sudden enlightenment, "Ah, I remember that these eight monsters are not zombies at all."
Wutong and the others were stunned and turned their heads to look at the resurrected fat npc businessman. He smiled proudly and said, "I swallowed the soul fragments of that ghost, and obtained some of its scattered memories and abilities. Do you want to know the origin of these monsters?"
Fortunately, the fatty profiteer Hadlun didn't ask Wutong and the others to wait for too long, so he immediately gave the answer. Otherwise, under the rage of heaven and people, Wutong would not be allowed to press it on him again.
"These eight iron guys are not zombies at all. They are guards of the Immortal Temple left by the mysterious sect. An immortal monster called the "Sutra of the Body". They dismantle the most powerful organs on some powerful creatures' corpses. Through evil sacrificial rituals and taboo spells, banned alchemy techniques, they perform fusion, patchwork, sewing and other actions. Although they do not have their own thoughts, their combat ability is extremely powerful."
Even Hadron, who has fragments of the memory of the Ghost Priest, was amazed by the origin of these eight "physical images": "But fortunately, the method of manufacturing this monster was lost a long time ago. These eight physical images were excavated from some more ancient ruins and ruins at the beginning of the mysterious sect.
Then I was transported here and armed with dull armor and heavy weapons. I became like this now. I took on the task of guarding this temple. I don’t know if there are any such Immortal Temple guards elsewhere. The soul fragments I swallowed were not complete, and the memories I gained were intermittent, and I could only know so much."
The sudden mention of the Ao Si made the players confused. On the contrary, Wutong, who has been studying hard when she has time, has seen records of this kind of thing in that book.
Things like this are not something that today's players can access. They are more than 7th level or above, and are few monsters of more than one hundred levels. With the technology in the current world background in "Endless", it can no longer be created, and it is replaced by various puppets in the simplified version.
The so-called Aoxiang is an automatic device driven by Aoya energy. It is actually made of various materials, similar to robots, including stone, metal, and even various strange materials. Wutong has never heard of Aoxiang using corpses and flesh.
The content about the statues he saw in the books was nothing more than a vague mention of some powerful ancient nobles who liked to place some statues disguised as statues and decorative armor in the corners of the walls in their courtyards and residences to protect themselves.
These statues of the Ao that stood motionless on the courtyard table disguised as sculptures are likely to become the terminators of the invaders. Inadvertently, with the powerful combat ability and destructiveness of the Ao that can be said to be almost few people who can escape.
Unfortunately, although the power of the Ao Si is powerful, the manufacturing process usually involves the use of powerful arcane and elemental power. If you want a shell without life characteristics to move and be able to perform tasks according to the command of the owner, the key activation factor is the "soul" of the creature. In short, it is to implant one or some unwilling souls into the artificial body and force it to act according to the will of the creator.
The Ao Si is extremely strong in battle because their bodies are unusually strong and strong. Since they have no mind, they will do nothing without their master's instructions. Although they will execute commands clearly, because they do not know how to adopt any strategy or tactics, they will only destroy the targets designated by their masters in the battle without any emotion in the simplest and most rude way.
As long as the Oscar is within 60 yards of the master, he can see and hear his voice, the master can give instructions to it. If no new instructions are received, the Oscar will try his best to complete the last instruction it receives until it is completed, but if it is attacked, it will still instinctively fight back.
When the owner needs to leave the Ao Si, he can issue some simple instructions to the Ao Si in advance to control its actions. For example, the owner can order the Ao Si to obey the instructions issued by others, and the person can also hand over the control of the Ao Si to others, but in any case, the owner can re-control it at any time so that it can only listen to its own commands.
The entire process of manufacturing the Aosai is extremely complicated, and the materials used involve too many expensive and rare precious materials, which leads to too expensive costs. Even those extremely rich lords and nobles cannot arrange them in large quantities in their residences. They are often used as deterrent weapons of war and are properly kept in the warehouse at normal times. They will only be used as killer weapons at critical moments.
Since the manufacturing method of the Aoxiang is lost, every Aoxiang that has been preserved and not damaged is a non-renewable resource. Regardless of the level, it is worth a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Wutong looked at the eight physical statues soaked in the pond, and almost all the photos emitted from their eyes were green. Unfortunately, not all the images found in the remains can be bought, sold and used, unless they were found, and they also got their "key".
A key, to put it simply, is the car's key of a car. Without it, the vehicle cannot be started. It is not necessarily a physical object. It may be just a secret word, or a specific password, a secret gesture mixed with a large number of useless actions.
In short, if you want to gain control of a masterless statue, you need someone with a certain protagonist's aura to do it. This is not just a matter of strength, but also depends on whether your character is strong enough and whether your luck is shit.
Obviously, Wutong is not the guy with the protagonist's halo. He could only sigh and look at the eight flesh-like bodies soaked in the big pool. He couldn't control these flesh-like bodies and could not get them out of this big pool. He could only watch them slowly rot in the pool.
However, when Wutong accidentally discovered that Hadren couldn't help but smile, but forced the corners of her lips to twitch, and her eyes flashed violently, she realized something was wrong. Why did this girl laugh so much?
After being stunned, Wutong immediately reacted. This guy was a profiteer, and now he was poor and had nothing but a bunch of gold coins. His original identity and power had disappeared in decades of desolation. Why did he laugh like a widow whose adulterer was about to come to his house in the middle of the night?
From the coquettish eyes of the eight physical figures in the pool, Wutong knew that he might have the "key" to control these physical figures in the soul fragments of the ghost priest he devoured in the virtual ghost state.
Trying to make his distorted facial expression return to normal, Hadron turned his head and suddenly found Wutong staring at him, with one hand still inserted into the pocket.
A sudden shiver of Hadron, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he decided to recognize the current affairs as a hero. Not to mention that the current strange trialist is his partner, even if the eight physical statues are taken out, they may be used to protect the business association. Sooner or later, it will be exposed. Instead of turning against each other, it is better to sell them now.
The guy in front of him just killed the terrifying ghost priest. That ghost is many times stronger than his former useless ghost.
As a shrewd businessman, he doesn't want to die yet. In his physical condition, he is not much more threatening than a mouse. He can't compete with this guy with a lot of people for the time being, even if he has gained some of the abilities of a ghost priest.
The most important thing is that he also devoured the subject of the Ghost Priest and got more memories than himself. Even if he didn't explain, he might have been insulated from him when the other party merged with the Ghost Priest's memory fragments, because the control methods he mastered were extremely limited.
"I know how to control these mythical images of the body"
Hadron made a shameless expression to Wutong, as if he had no intention of taking over these eight Ao Si at all: "Uh, part of the control method"
Wutong continued to stare at him unmovedly. Hadron broke out in a cold sweat. He saw that Wutong had already taken it out and put it in his palm and played with it. He was a little scared, but he still said with a tough bullet and said, "I want four of them." Wutong suddenly coughed, and he immediately cut it in half: "The control of the two animals, but I require these eight animals as the property of the business association."
"One and its control is limited to protecting the property of the business association"
Wutong stared at his eyes: "Don't forget, I'll save you before. Everything on your body belongs to me. I haven't taken off you yet. If you want, you can refuse my conditions, but give me all the spoils, including underwear, to me immediately."
Not only Hadron, but also the lion next to him were sweating coldly. The boss was threatening an NPC? He even handed over his underwear? It was too cruel, right? Doesn’t that mean that this fat NPC merchant is going to return to Bahadiga City naked?
When the thought of the scene of a big fat man with a bare body suddenly appeared in the center of Bahadiga City, and in the most prosperous square where the Woking Temple was located, and suddenly appeared. He threw away his thighs and covered his face and ran wildly. The players couldn't help but feel cold.
"Not this"
Hadron was angry. The control of a statue of the body was limited to protecting the property of the business association. What is the difference between getting nothing?
Wutong suddenly lowered her head and played with the silver-gray in her hand. She smiled sinisterly. She didn't know who she was talking to, but she seemed to be talking to herself: "Is the memory of this priest really interesting? It turns out that there are ways to seal the virtual creatures, slowly whip the soul, and extract the memory? Interesting and interesting gaga"
Hadren's hair stood up and said firmly: "Trade"
Seeing Hadron put on a trap, Wutong stuffed the badge into his pocket as if nothing had happened and secretly sweared. He had just used his +6 skill, but Hadron, the NPC businessman, was also proficient in bluffing tricks in business negotiations. Wutong was not sure whether his bluffing skills could take effect.
But now it seems that the effect is good, he has not received any memory fragments of the Ghost Priest. The unlucky Ghost was not swallowed by him, but was swallowed by the Bone Eater Ring. However, from the outside, it seems to be swallowed by him. And he doesn't know if it can really seal the virtual creature and extract memories, but just make up for it casually.
In order to enhance the effect, he also took out the Eternal Stagnation Badge to threaten the other party intentionally or unintentionally. If it doesn't work, he intends to seal Hadron's body as a threat.
But Hadron thought he was going to seal his body, and after he forced himself out of his virtual state, he used the imprisonment to interrogate himself slowly. As a result, his psychological defense line collapsed on the spot. He was imprisoned for decades, floating around in the remains of this lifeless dark underground temple all day long. You can't afford to hurt people who deal with a bunch of bones.
The body handed over by the depressed Hadron is like a "control key", not complete. After Wutong was threatening and intimidating again and again, the fat Hadron jumped up and down like a ball and sweared. Wutong was sure that the control key he had was indeed not complete.
Because, according to what Hadron said, what he got from the Ghost Priest was only part of the control key, and was limited to controlling the body statues in the ruins of this underground temple, performing guardian work, and cannot leave here, nor can they command them to actively fight for themselves
This disappointed Wutong, who planned to take the eight invincible statues to sweep the world, was disappointed. She could only guard the temple? She could not take the initiative to fight? What's the use?
Chapter completed!
