Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 191: Biting the Mad Player

Click click click.

Li Miao obviously did not focus on Rutan's words, but was fiddling with the joints of the gear-type limb with great interest, making crisp sounds and marveling at the results.

I have to say, this gear replacement limb looks really cool!

I thought that Lingzhu was a dark game with a purely medieval background, but now it seems that there are also steampunk elements in it?
Moreover, the foreshadowing was laid in advance through an NPC wandering merchant in the game.

Reasonable, very reasonable.

Success aroused my curiosity.

As Li Miao thought about it, he fiddled with the gear-like limb lovingly.

"..." Seeing him fiddling with it, Rutan's wrinkled face wrinkled even more. After reaching out to take it back, he said calmly, "Do you want to buy it?"

Li Miao's eyes still didn't leave the gear replacement limb. He was very envious and had a strong desire to buy it.

Using the funds provided by the Candle Keeper to buy a replacement limb like this... shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Candle Keeper, you know me.

I have been blessed with three heads and six arms since I was a child, but now I only have two hands. I am really not used to it...

"Yes, of course I want to buy it. I want this, this, this, and some intelligence and information..."

Li Miao started shopping in Rutan's store.

After a while...

Li Miao quickly finished his shopping and quickly returned to find Rogge to hand in the task.

Rogge took out some equipment that was used to anchor the island and sent him away.

After Li Miao left, he began to check the harvest.

The first was the bark given by Rutan, [Strange Spell]. After Rogge gave it to Lingzhu for disassembly, he also got feedback. It was not difficult and could be copied in large quantities by spending a small amount of wax oil.

In the future, players will be able to summon wood spirit merchants through the props imitated by Rogue. Of course, in Rutan’s words, they may not come.

"This wood spirit merchant must have earned 9999 wax oil from me with tears and blood."

Rogge thought in his mind.

Although he was not stingy and directly gave Li Miao a large piece of burning charcoal spiritual material, equivalent to about ten thousand wax oil, but the things here in Lu Tan are not cheap at all.

Moreover, the focus of what Rogge wanted Li Miao to buy was not the things in Rutan’s store, but various kinds of “intelligence”.

Of course, thanks to sufficient funds, although Li Miao was unable to buy everything in Rutan’s store, he basically bought everything that was worth buying and had special value.

The most noteworthy ones are naturally Galgerda's [Gear Crystal Limb Replacement] and another rather peculiar [Sea Abyss Bone].

Li Miao was very greedy for the gear crystal replacement limb, but Rogge didn't give it to him.

In Lingzhu's feedback, this thing is also classified as a "special weapon" and Rogge is currently unable to copy it.

But this thing has great research value. If Lingzhu can fully understand it, maybe he can even make new limb replacement equipment himself.

It’s not possible now, but there will definitely be a chance in the future.

It's impossible to just go to the player Li Miao to ask for it when the time comes, right?
So, after Li Miao bought it, Rogge marked the equipment as [Quest Item], and the latter could only helplessly hand the item to him.

[Bone of the Abyss: A small piece of burning charcoal ember, a product of the heavy pressure of the abyss. 】

According to Rutan, this thing comes from the "Heavy Pressure Abyss" and can coexist with the user, enhancing the strength of the body and bones and granting special abilities, but it has independent self-awareness and some special needs that need to be met by the user.

It was also reported by Lingzhu as a "special weapon" and could not be copied.

And from the feedback, there are some differences between them and the "special weapons", because Rogge felt a faint breath of life fire on it.

In addition, there are some specialty consumables from various places in the Burning Land and the Endless Sea.

Finally, of course, there is the area that consumes the most funds and obtains the most intelligence.

Although Rutan showed very direct caution and vigilance in this regard.

But it also clearly felt the sincerity of Li Miao and Zhuxin Island behind him, so it was willing to reveal some relevant information under limited conditions...

Wood spirit merchant.

Because their members are almost all wood spirits, that is, tree people, they are called this. They can also roam in various chaotic areas, purchasing and selling goods in the process.

As for the origin and more important circumstances, of course they were not revealed.

However, Rutan did provide some additional information about the Burning Land, the Endless Sea, and the background of the world itself, including a lot of information about the forces in the "dynamic plot" such as the Firewood Gatherers and the Shadow of Fool.

Even the [cremation ship] that Rutan had heard a little about before from Leti was mentioned further by Rutan.

Because a Muling merchant was robbed...

Finally, Rutan also revealed a key piece of information that is currently the most important - near the chaotic area of ​​this quiet platform, firewood collectors appear very frequently.

This means that if Rogge anchors the Tranquil Platform, builds the Spirit Fire Port and then tows the area, he will most likely find the area where the firewood gatherers are.

Of course, it is possible to search nearby one by one, but it is very laborious and time-consuming, and it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Thinking of this, Roger narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

Firewood picker...

The danger level of Tranquil Terrace is marked as "extremely high". The people who can come here to collect firewood are probably not newbies like Claymore and Ryan who are still playing single-player games.

It is very likely that they have found the organization, namely the "Fire Temple"!
Roger has never forgotten this important matter.

First, we learn from Claymore and Ryan that their witch has been guiding them to the Fire Temple.

And Rogge learned from Nonia, the former Fire Witch, that the Fire Temple had been captured.

The reason why Nonya said this is because her original "connection" with the Fire Temple was broken. Therefore, it would cost a huge price to cross the endless dark border to re-establish connection.

As for why the "connection" was broken, Rogge didn't know.

But it is definitely related to the firewood collectors.

Now, he was already quite close to these firewood collectors...

However, considering the powerful repulsion and restrictions of the Quiet Platform, if you want to go to the debris area where people already exist, you may need some special means.

After thinking for a while, Roger came up with a solution...

……

Li Miao sent all the dynamic story tasks he had just completed to the player group.

At this time, the storyteller seemed to have just returned to Zhuxin Island for something, and he gave Li Miao an analysis of the situation.

Reverend Liqun: "Dynamic plot mission? Damn, how come you encounter it again? Why can't I encounter it? (tears)"

Storyteller: "Wood Spirit Merchant... Interesting, I thought Lingzhu didn't plan to launch merchant NPCs."

Storyteller: "A replacement limb? You're still selling this?"

Storyteller: "You guessed right. This is a foreshadowing. No, it can't even be called a foreshadowing. This is a guide. It clearly tells us that the place called 'Gailgda' has such good things. Judging from the background, it should be a place that focuses on spells and technology."

It's time to eat mushrooms: "Ah ~ the sweet smell of science ~"

Brother Miao did not fail the exam: "What great inventor did you invent? (Angry)"

Brother Miao did not fail the exam: "Ah, I am still very sad. I was planning to cosplay as Nezha with three heads and six arms."

Storyteller: “…”

……

"You can only see it but not use it. Sigh, my gear-like replacement limb..."

Li Miao returned to the Milestone Spirit Candle with a sigh, still feeling resentful that he could not get the gear replacement limb.

When Rutan saw him coming back, he began to quietly pack up his things, apparently preparing to leave. "You bought a lot of things, so I'll just give you this information."

After putting away the backpack, Rutan looked towards a certain place in the garden beside the stage and spoke slowly.

"That confused guy who is hiding is the key to this place."

Hearing this, Li Miao followed his gaze and looked back in surprise, but did not see anything special.

"I should go now, good luck."

After saying that, Lu Tan didn't say anything more. His body twisted and was finally absorbed into a small dot, and then disappeared.

"The confused guy who is hiding..."

Li Miao scratched his head.

The reason why Rutan had to wait until he arrived before leaving was because he said he wanted to buy information about this area.

What Rutan just said should be about this, but he didn't quite understand it.

While frowning and thinking, he walked slowly towards the Broken Fountain, trying to find the so-called "hidden confused guy".

Suddenly, he paused, slowly raised his head and looked at the space in front of him that was slightly curved.

"This……"

Li Miao was surprised and slowly reached out his hand to touch it.

The next moment, his hand melted into it.

Seeing this, Li Miao made up his mind and walked straight in.

Wow!

“Woo——” “Hehehehaha——”

The first thing that catches your eye is the splashing blood, accompanied by an extremely loud and piercing noise.

A blurry blood-red figure was frantically fighting and devouring the monster group.

[You are infected by madness, the upper limit of mental value is -1, and abnormal progress is accumulating...]

The familiar negative state came again.

Except for the solid eyeballs, the figure was almost identical to the bloody figure that Li Miao encountered when he was first infected.

Li Miao can confirm that it is that guy.

That eyeball also looked familiar...it seemed to be the two eyeballs on the left and right on the bridge!
【Unknown Seeker】

His eyes fell on it, but Lingzhu only gave him this feedback.

And the guy who was fighting with Blood Shadow also made Li Miao's pupils shrink.

[Crazy Biter], charcoal grade, level thirty-six!
It still retained a trace of its human form, but its body was covered in blood and wounds, with sticky blood constantly circling around it.

The most eye-catching thing is its mouth, which is exactly the same as the flute in the hands of the soloist on the side stage, but it is enlarged and fits directly into its mouth, breaking in a jagged shape and emitting a constant terrifying echo.

Surrounding the Mad Player were a large number of [Mouths of Madness], which he had seen before.

There is no doubt that this so-called crazy performer is closely related to the soloist on the side stage that Li Miao had just seen!

It turns out that it’s not the second stage, but you have to enter such a special place!

but.

Before he had time to think about it, the situation in front of Li Miao changed abruptly.

It seemed that because the "unknown seeker" had the upper hand in this battle, the Crazy Biter could no longer hold on.

“You can’t stop playing!”

"I can't! Hahahahaha!"

It laughed wildly, then closed its huge jagged mouth and used the mouth flute instrument in its mouth to make a terrifying loud echo.

"Woo——"

I grass!

This huge and soul-shaking sound made Li Miao subconsciously cover his head, grimace, and have a splitting headache.

[You are infected by madness, the upper limit of mental value is -1, and abnormal progress is accumulating...]

【…】

The abnormal progress bar popped up three times in a row, making Li Miao's already low spirit value even worse.

The unknown seeker also held his head in pain and struggled silently.

Fortunately, the terrifying screams of the Mad Biter did not last long and stopped. Taking this opportunity, it gave orders, letting all the surrounding Mad Biters pounce on the seeker.

It reached out and grabbed its own upper and lower jaws, and then stretched and tore them violently in front of Li Miao's stunned eyes.

Hiss…hiss…

wow...

The muscle tissue was forcibly torn apart, flesh and blood gushed out, and a deeper force also continued to surge out from the body of the mad player.

Its body began to change.

The flute-like instrument quickly swelled and grew larger, growing more spikes, gradually covering most of the body of the mad player, hard and hideous.

The seeker seemed eager to kill it at this time, but was entangled by a bunch of biting mouths and could not go any further.

See this situation.

Li Miao knew that he might have to make a choice.

To help or not to help.

According to the feedback given by Lingzhu, this seeker is similar to an NPC, while the Crazy Biter is undoubtedly a monster.

Just now, the Crazy Mouth was baring its teeth at him.

Therefore, it is impossible to help the madman to bite the crazy player.

So now the only question left is whether to help or not.

However, Li Miao soon made a choice.

Rutan had just reminded him that "the confused guy is the key to influencing this place", and he was most likely referring to the seeker.

Thinking of this, Li Miao said nothing, and directly swore an oath of law and a battle cry, then took out the Frost Lance and joined the battle.

call out--

After sprinting to the appropriate distance, he found the right opportunity and made a frost piercing move.

The effect of the frost piercing on the body of the Mad Bite Player was suspended for a moment, but soon recovered.

Its scarlet eyes fell on Li Miao, but it did not turn around to attack Li Miao, but continued to change its body.

Naturally, Li Miao would not miss this great opportunity to deal damage. He directly stabbed hard with the Frost Lance, alternating between combat skills and dealing considerable damage.

Bang bang bang!
The seeker also did not stop for a moment. Facing the numerous biting mouths, it was furious. After a silent roar, its two solid eyeballs swept around, emitting a blazing red light.

The bodies of the three Biteers that were exposed collided strangely, and exploded into a pool of blood mud the next moment.

when--

After a powerful rebound force came from his hand, Li Miao's heart tightened as he looked at the completely different crazy player in front of him.
