Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 353 257. Things that only pokeni can do

Seeing that he was discovered, Ashitaka stopped hiding himself, so he stood up and shouted to the other party:

"My name is Ashitaka, and I come from the far east."

"Are you the ancient gods who live in the forest of mountain beast gods?"

The other party just said to him coldly, "Leave this place."

Then Princess Mononoke climbed on the back of the white wolf, and the three wolves ran away in an instant and disappeared into the woods.

…

It is impossible to cross the other side of the river, unless you have to run all the way downstream and cross over the single-plank bridge.

But when Masaharu Yamada ran over, Princess Mononoke and the others had already left long ago and were nowhere to be found.

It seems like this is the game setting.

We will meet again in future plots.

Thinking of this, Yamada Masaharu turned back along the original road.

On the road, Yamada Shoji saw a particularly interesting monster——

In the forest, or on rocks or tree roots... you can see a kind of green and transparent little people called elves everywhere.

They have bodies like children, and are about the size of a human palm. If you don't pay attention, you won't pay much attention to them.

Unless the game scene at that time was relatively dark (dynamic light effects are not supported now, so the map lighting in the game is all done on top of the game textures and will not change due to the movement of the characters or changes in time) Change.

Even if you light a torch, the brightness of the current scene will remain the same, without any change. )

When the scene is dimly lit, the elf with green light all over his body will be more obvious.

Although they are only about the size of a palm, their heads are very large. They are round in shape but have some edges and corners, and there are three irregular holes in the [face] position.

It looks a bit like an alien.

And it makes a sound when the head rotates.

It seems that no matter which side you turn this triangular hollow face, you can see the nose, eyes and mouth, but after turning, the expression on the face will also undergo some subtle changes.

The elf is really a very special kind of monster in the game.

As long as you don't touch it, it really doesn't matter.

But as long as you attack one of them, countless elves will immediately appear and attack you.

No matter how hard you run, you can't escape, you will definitely die.

Yamada Masaharu didn't know this at first, but he just went through it recklessly in the spirit of fighting every monster he encountered.

These are incredible, they are just like poking a hornet's nest, being hunted to death.

As for elves, their health is very thin and they can kill them all with just one slash. However, their ability to shake people is also really strong. As long as you are still in the forest, you will be chased to death.

It's probably the feeling of having stung a hornet's nest and being swarmed by countless wasps until you die.

No matter how far you go, there will only be more and more elves.

After dying about 5 or 6 times, Masaharu Yamada understood.

This is an existence that must not be touched, and is more terrifying than the BOSS.

"Elves, great elves, please ignore ignorant people like me!"

…

After finally returning to the original place, the two rescued guys were still waiting for Ashitaka.

After a conversation, the next task was to safely escort them back to Dadala Iron Town.

After walking for a while, when he saw the elf appearing on the road, the injured guy on Yaklu's back shouted in panic.

"Don't be afraid," Ashitaka comforted. "Elves are gentle creatures. They symbolize the prosperity of this forest. As long as you don't mess with them, there will be no problem."

Nani? !

Seeing this, Yamada Masaharu was furious.

"Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Thinking about it carefully, it was all my fault that I had to go around to the other side of the river to see Princess Mononoke, otherwise this plot should have been triggered long ago.

Such important information, I died n times in vain because I didn't know it.

Yamada Masaharu felt extremely depressed.

…

However, Ashitaka's words did not appease the two people. Instead, they became even more frightened after seeing the elf appear.

"The elves will attract the mountain beast god." One of them said.

"Mountain Beast God?" the male protagonist asked in confusion, "Is it the White Wolf God?"

"No, it's a more powerful monster."

Eh?

Is there a monster more powerful than the White Wolf God?

When he saw such a huge white wolf god just now, Yamada Shoji was so scared that he peed. He didn't expect that there was something more terrifying than it.

Then you must not seek death later. The elves have already made people die needlessly. What if they offend a mountain beast god again?

…

Walking through the forest.

Masaharu Yamada seems to be in a dreamlike world.

He saw towering trees that stretched their dense branches and leaves toward the sky, forming a sea of ​​green.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow, adding a mysterious and charming atmosphere to the entire forest.

Walking on the forest path, Yamada Masaharu heard the cheerful singing of birds and the busy buzzing of insects.

He saw a variety of wild animals and plants, including colorful butterflies dancing in the flowers, cute squirrels jumping among the branches, and a deer leisurely foraging on the grass.

These creatures coexist harmoniously in the forest, forming a vibrant picture.

Yamada Masaharu continued to walk forward and came to a crystal clear stream.

The stream flows slowly and makes a pleasant sound.

In this dreamy forest, Yamada Masaharu felt the power and beauty of nature.

beautiful.

So spectacular.

It's like living in a dreamy fairy tale.

Hayao Miyazaki's depiction of nature is truly god-like.

These are unlikely to be realized by real model making. In order to create the forest effect, pokeni basically uses 2D pieces and 3D models interspersed.

Within the range that the protagonist can reach, some trees on both sides of the road are 3D structures.

However, the areas that cannot be reached are surrounded by collisions, using intersecting cross pieces, and then filling the large surface pieces with 2D pictures.

The effect is actually very good. As long as you don't interact, you basically can't tell which are 3D models and which are 2D patches.

Otherwise, using a full 3D model, the number of faces in this scene alone would be enough to explode, and the PS game console would not be able to carry it at all.

Now it can still be extremely smooth and even give people a beautiful scene, all because of Qing Zhiyuan's good planning.

It is estimated that except for pokeni, other companies may not be able to come up with similar tricks.

…

Yamada Shoji took a deep breath and allowed himself to fully integrate into this wonderful environment.

Even if you are sitting in your own room, there are neon lights outside the window, noisy and lively.

But at this moment, Yamada Masaharu seemed to smell the fragrance of the soil in the mountains and fields.

This scene is really intoxicating.

"It is said that Hayao Miyazaki was inspired by Yakushima. It looks like I have to go there once."

Yamada Masaharu nodded.

…

Of course, the forest is not completely without danger. You will encounter attacks from various beasts along the way, such as bears, wild boars, wolves, etc.

As they continued to advance, several people came to the depths of the forest.

And at this moment, the plot was triggered again:

In this peaceful environment, everything around him became extremely quiet, but a hazy light shone in the forest in the distance.

In the light, a silhouette could be seen in the distance, like a herd of deer.

The head one has many antlers, and it looks like a tree growing upward on its head.

The mane is very long, extending from the chin to the belly, majestic and majestic, like a deer king.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the mountain beast god that the two of them mentioned just now.

The hero's nerves suddenly became tense.

At the same time, the thing suddenly turned its head.

Before he could see clearly what the other party looked like, the male protagonist's cursed right hand suddenly went crazy in the next second:

The entire wrist is swollen, as if it is about to explode, and the cursed insect inside keeps twisting...

Ashitaka's face was full of pain and he tried his best to suppress it, but his hand seemed to be disobedient.

He quickly put his arm into the water.

Not long after, it seemed that the deer king was no longer aware of it, and walked away and disappeared into the woods, and the male protagonist returned to normal.

The camera once again returned to the male protagonist.

very scary.

Do you want to go find that thing just now?

Yamada Masaharu was in extreme inner struggle.

The incident of being chased to death by the elves just now is still fresh in my mind. Do I really want to commit suicide?

But, ah... I'm just so curious.

…

If you don’t take a look, you will really feel uneasy in your heart.

Yamada Shoji still followed his first instinct and chased in the direction where the mountain beast god disappeared.

I ran all the way and searched for a long time but couldn't find any clues.

It looked like it should have simply disappeared.

Forget it, let’s get back to the main plot.

Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

If he really met the Mountain Beast God, would he die again?

Quickly save a file and move forward.

…

Not long after, the group finally arrived at Dadala Iron Town.

Standing at the foot of the town and taking a look, Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

The entire Dadala Iron Town is exceptionally majestic.

Viewed from the outside, it is a circle of tall walls made of trees with sharpened heads and lined up in rows. Various buildings in the wall stretch upwards along the mountain and are well-proportioned, like an iron castle built in the mountains.

And many of the houses have straight and long smoke rising from the tops, slowly rising into the sky in the direction of the wind, and blending into the sea of ​​clouds.

Oh my god...

It's scary how pokeni can take the game to this level.

The first thought that came to Yamada Masaharu's mind was——

Is there anything else that P Club can't do?

A Miyazaki world that can be explored and played, not just viewed.

Such a world is really fantastic and wonderful.

…

After sending the two injured people back to Dadala Iron Town, Ashitaka was welcomed and warmly entertained by the local residents.

The leader of the town was the woman who led the ox cart and shot the White Wolf God on the mountain road.

The woman was wearing casual clothes, but she had her coat draped over her shoulders, making her look quite bold.

The leader's name is Abbersey, and the residents of the town also call her Lady Black Hat.

Abosi is the daughter of a poor family who married a foreign robber.

Due to the brutality of the bandits, she finally killed her husband and returned to Neon with the treasure.

Gangsha is the only attendant she brought back from there, and he is also a very loyal subordinate.

As the leader of the town, Lord Absy also led the protagonist around.

Through conversations and information collection, Yamada Masaharu learned that——

Most of the people in this town are people who are suffering. Many women have fled here after being displaced by domestic violence, and many of the men are also poor people at the bottom, all because of the shelter of Mr. Abbersey. , they had a bite to eat.

With casting technology from the West, Abbersey led the people to cast steel, and used the smelted steel to make muskets. It was these walls of fire that gave them overwhelming and astonishing power.

So that you will no longer be bullied by others.

However, casting steel, in addition to mining, also requires cutting down a large number of trees and destroying the environment. It was under such circumstances that Abosi killed many beasts in the Holy Beast Mountain, and thus was hated by them.

Princess Mononoke wants to kill her for this very reason.

"If you need to make weapons, come here." After Abosi's introduction, the hero was left to explore the streets freely.

…

Dadala City mini map:

The weapons in Iron Town are very sophisticated. You can double the hero's weapons and bows here. Of course, if you have enough money, you can also buy the so-called [Stone Rocket] weapon here.

It was the kind of musket Yamada had seen used against the White Wolf God before.

After some searching and exploration, Yamada Masaharu also learned what happened to the boar god who had turned into an evil spirit——

In order to mine new iron sand, Absy led the people in the town to dig mountains, cut down trees, and destroy the forest wantonly, which angered the patron saint of the mountains, the Boar God.

So under such circumstances, the Wild Boar God led his descendants of the wild boar to launch an attack on Iron Town.

In the end, they were defeated because humans had mastered terrible musket weapons.

A fire broke out in the forest, and at the same time, the wild boar god was hit by an iron stone rocket. The iron block remained in his body, causing him great pain.

His hatred for humans turned the Boar God into a demon, and he ran madly to the east.

At this point, Yamada Masaharu finally understood.

Dadala Iron Town and Aboxi are actually the source of everything.

The cursed male protagonist wanted to kill Abbersey on the spot, but in the end he endured it.

Yamada Masaharu frowned, feeling extremely complicated.

Abbersey herself is a suffering woman, and she cannot bear to see the suffering of others.

The entire Dadala Iron Town is filled with those at the bottom who are suffering. The girls were sold to the market, and it was because of the compassion and empathy of Mr. Absy that he redeemed them.

Many of the men were infected with diseases, and there were also some with disabilities. Such people would be bullied outside, but Mr. Absy took them in and asked them to do what they could.

All this is because Absy has mastered the technology of iron smelting and gunpowder making. It is those actions of destroying the mountains and forests that allow them to survive.

It's actually quite sad.
