Real Cthulhu Running Game

"How about it? Let's go in and take a look?"

Erlang suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xing and the others, and said with a smile: "Since you are all here, it would be unreasonable for us not to go in and take a look. Of course, if the three of you don't want to take risks with us, then please stay outside. Keep a lookout for us, and remember to give us a call if you see members of the public faction."

Ichiro on the side nodded, and continued: "Although we have reason to believe that this tunnel and the tunnel at the top of the rock climbing mountain are connected to each other, but maybe this tunnel actually leads to other places, so everyone also There’s no need to risk our chances.”

Although Ichiro and Erlang were talking about their deep feelings, Liu Xing knew very well that these two guys were acting, and they were still trying to bully the three of them with their words, forcing the three of them to take risks with them, otherwise they would be in trouble after today. , stories of "members of the Sawada family not keeping their promises" will begin to circulate within the Wu family faction.

Therefore, after a brief eye contact between Liu Xing and the other three, Zhang Jingxu stood up and said: "Since this tunnel is most likely connected to the tunnel on the top of the mountain, and the furbolg should still be in this tunnel. , then we will definitely keep our promise and advance and retreat together with everyone in the Monster Talk Club, so let’s go in now?”

Hearing what Zhang Jingxu said, Ichiro was very happy and said: "I know that you Zetian family are very particular people, so let's pack up and prepare to go in, but of course we will do the work of opening the way."

After Ichiro finished speaking, the few Kaidankai members holding flashlights and daggers carefully walked into the cave, and Jiro also took out a short-barreled shotgun and followed him into the tunnel, while outside the cave. The other members of the Kaidan Club were helping the two tall muscular men among them put on a suit of iron armor. Liu Xing estimated that even the sharp claws of the ghoul might not be able to cut through the armor.

As for Ichiro, he now walked far away and made a phone call. It seemed that he was contacting the president of the Kaidan Club.

To be honest, Liu Xing is still very interested in the president of this weird talk club, because since he can train a group of newly graduated students into professional investigators, it shows that this person is quite capable.

I just don’t know if there are other forces behind this president.

"Liu Xing, take this."

Yin En suddenly approached Liu Xing and very discreetly put a round object into Liu Xing's pocket, "This is a sugar pill that can reduce your breathing needs. Later, if we enter a place lacking oxygen, you can Just eat it and it will keep you from feeling sick from the thin oxygen.”

Liu Xing nodded and whispered: "You can give this sugar pill to me openly, why do you have to do it secretly?"

Yin En smiled, shook his head and said: "This is a life-saving thing. I only carry four of them with me, so apart from the three of us, if we are really in danger, I can only help one more person." , but the relationship between the two brothers Ichiro and Erlang seems to be very good, so I am worried that if I give you this sugar pill openly and openly, if Ichiro takes notice of it, he may be detrimental to us. So we have to take the sugar pill as soon as possible."

Hearing what Yin En said, Liu Xing suddenly said uneasily: "Listen to what you say, are we likely to be in danger of hypoxia later? Could it be that this is a mechanism prepared by the Luca civilization for the secret base?"

Yin En glanced at Ichiro who was still on the phone, nodded and said, "Yes, Lucca Civilization must have prepared various mechanisms near its secret base, and these mechanisms need to be unlocked by Lucca Civilization's own people. , so if we want to get close to the secret base of the Luka Civilization, we may encounter various mechanisms. However, due to years of disrepair, many of the exquisitely crafted mechanisms have been scrapped, and the remaining mechanisms Among them, the most famous one is the oxygen maze. The design of this maze is actually very simple, that is, the closer you get to the exit of the maze, the lower the oxygen content there is, until there is no oxygen at all in the last section."

"If that's the case, then this oxygen maze is actually quite easy to pass, but the appearance of this oxygen maze does not look any different from an ordinary tunnel, so we will only realize it when we find that the surrounding oxygen content drops. We have already entered the oxygen maze, and as everyone enters the maze, each node in the maze will be blocked with high-strength alloy plates, so there is no way back for us. Of course, we can also choose to dig directly into the rock wall. As long as we can dig into the one-meter-thick alloy inner wall, in the end, we will definitely be in a situation of lack of oxygen, and the sugar pill in your pocket, Liu Xing, will become the last life-saving straw."

At this time, Zhang Jingxu also came over and said seriously: "We are not afraid of 10,000, we are afraid of the unexpected, so we must be prepared."

Liu Xing nodded as if he understood, and then couldn't help but ask: "So, do we really want to take such a risk? If we make a wrong step, we may be in jeopardy."

Zhang Jingxu and Yin En put on an expression of "I knew you would say that", which made Liu Xing a little depressed. He was the only one who knew the least about co-writing this.

"Liu Xing, you don't have to worry. In fact, all the secret bases of Luka Civilization are divided into three levels according to the security level and the materials stored in them. The secret bases at different levels have their own set of agency standards, so this oxygen maze There are only three versions in total, so we only need to pay attention to the closed nodes after discovering that we have entered the oxygen maze, and we can deduce the correct exit route." Yin En said with a smile.

As soon as Yin En finished speaking, Ichiro came over after making a phone call, "Without further ado, let's set off quickly. I have just informed the personnel to send out drones to monitor the situation here. If there is any suspicious person approaching here, we will Just leave here directly to avoid being caught in a trap; by the way, there is already a fight on the top of the mountain, and several forces are fighting for their ability to enter the tunnel first. It seems that they will not be able to take care of us for a while."

As he spoke, Ichiro put on a leather jacket with the help of others.

"This leather jacket is made through a special process. It will inflate quickly like an airbag when attacked, thus preventing me from receiving a fatal blow, so I will open the way for you later." Ichiro said with a smile.

After saying that, Ichiro raised his hand and waved, and walked into the cave first.

Liu Xing and the other three thought for a while and chose the position in the middle of the team in a tacit understanding, because this is the safest place.

As soon as he entered the cave, Liu Xing smelled a vague smell, and Liu Xing couldn't tell where the smell came from, because the smell seemed to be everywhere, seeping out from the rock wall all the time.

However, Liu Xing didn't wonder for long before he felt his phone start to vibrate in his pocket. Liu Xing knew that this was the answer Yin En or Zhang Jingxu wanted to tell him about the smell.

Liu Xing pretended to take out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight function, then avoided the gaze of the member of the Ghost Talk Club behind him and glanced at the text message Zhang Jingxu sent to him.

The content of the text message was very simple, only two words - Luca and Harmless.

It seems that now we can be sure that our group is approaching the secret base of Lucca Civilization, and this smell should be related to the institutions prepared by Luca Civilization. Perhaps the raw materials used by these institutions will emit this smell?

At this time, the members of the Kaidan Club also began to discuss the strange smell, but soon Ichiro, who was walking in front, calmed everyone down, claiming that the smell should come from the furbolg itself. To put it bluntly, The furbolg is marking his territory.

As soon as Ichiro said this, the discussion stopped abruptly. It seemed that Ichiro still had great authority in front of these members of the Kaidan Club.

At this moment, Erlang, who was walking at the front, suddenly said loudly: "People behind, come here quickly, we found the food left by the furbolg!"

Hearing what Erlang said, Liu Xing and others stepped up quickly.

Soon, Liu Xing and others came to a three-way intersection, and at the middle intersection there was a pile of fruits that had begun to rot. The fruits had already turned into a ball, and it was difficult for Liu Xing to identify which ones they were. What fruit.

"According to the average temperature and humidity in this cave, this pile of fruits should have been placed here by the furbolg within a week, so this should be the lair of the furbolg. However, from this three-way intersection and this tunnel Judging from the various artificial traces, someone should have built a secret base in the rock climbing mountain, and judging from the average width of these tunnels, the main function of this secret base is to hide people, so I doubt that one of these three passages, Even two of them have traps." Ichiro said while squatting in front of the pile of bad fruits.

Liu Xing picked up his phone and scanned the three passages, and said: "The middle passage has traces of the furbolg scratching the rock wall and grinding its claws, while the left and right passages don't seem to have many humans or furbolgs. Traces of activity.”

"Then let's have a middle!"

Ichiro said without hesitation: "We don't have so much time to analyze now, so it's better for us to choose the most reliable path."

After saying that, Ichiro and Erlang took the lead in entering the middle passage. Liu Xing and the other three followed closely behind without any hesitation.

After walking a few steps, Ichiro, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and whispered: "Everyone, please be careful. There is something that looks like a mythical creature ahead."

The three Liu Xings lowered their footsteps very cooperatively, and then looked towards the front of the passage as they approached Ichiro and Erlang. Sure enough, a "blocking tiger" appeared in front of them.

This "blocking tiger" is not big and looks about the same as a kitten, but Liu Xing can clearly see that the "blocking tiger" is covered with dense barbs, and the tips of these barbs are also Flashing with a faint blue light, it seemed that these barbs were probably poisonous.

However, this "blocker" seems to have suffered severe deterioration in vision due to living in a dark environment for a long time. Therefore, although it has been "staring" at Liu Xing and others, it has always had its eyes closed.

"If it has lost its eyesight, we have many ways to deal with it, but the barbs on its body are not vegetarian at first glance. If nothing else, its attack method should be to send out all the barbs on its body, so Let the two Black Island brothers handle this."

As Ichiro spoke, he called for Liu Xing and others to retreat with him. At this time, the two armored men also appeared. One of them was holding a large shield that was better than his own, while the other was holding a shield. Holding a flamethrower.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xing knew it was safe.

To be on the safe side, Ichiro led Liu Xing and others back to the three-way intersection, and specifically asked everyone to hide in the passages on the left and right. Then he snapped his fingers and the two armored men who were already in place started to take action. .

After only hearing a "hoo", Liu Xing heard a crackling sound. It seemed that the "blocking tiger" had indeed tilted all the barbs on his body to attack him.

However, the sound did not last for a few seconds before a deep male voice was heard, "Captain, the mission is accomplished, but the barbs issued by this mythical creature are poisonous, so I will use the flame to clean them all first." After it’s clean, it’s not too late for you to come back.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xing heard several more "hoo" sounds, and then after the male voice said "safety", Ichiro couldn't help but ran over.

Liu Xing and the other three were not in a hurry. They waited until Ichiro and Erlang "risked their lives" and were sure that the place was completely safe, then Liu Xing and the other three walked over.

When he saw the dense holes on the big shield, Liu Xing suddenly felt lucky that the mythical creature did not attack immediately, otherwise he would have turned into a hedgehog. . . The kind that's dead.

As for the mythical creature, it has now been burned to ashes.

"If I remember correctly, this should be a mythical creature called a spiny beast. However, this mythical creature has been an endangered species more than a thousand years ago because it is very suitable for use as a tomb beast. As you just saw, if those tomb robbers in ancient times entered the tomb with torches, they would unknowingly attract the attention of the thorn beast because of the limited lighting distance of the torch. When they found the thorn beast, The Thorn Beast has already launched an attack.”
