Real Cthulhu Running Game

"What are you talking about?"

Yu Lei's voice suddenly sounded behind Liu Xing. As soon as Liu Xing turned around, he saw Yu Lei playing Haqie without any image of a master.

"Well, it's okay. We are just discussing how to set up defenses in Tianshui Town. After all, you have to be careful to sail a thousand-year-old ship. Tianshui Town still needs to prepare some defensive means to deal with possible threats." Liu Xing said with a smile.

"Apeng, you are right. There are so many people in Tianshui Town now. We really need to work hard on defense to avoid heavy losses."

Yu Lei looked around and continued: "Based on the terrain of Tianshui Town, I personally recommend setting up a defense line by the river. The focus is naturally on the stone arch bridge, because the specifications of that bridge are a bit high and can be completely used. The enemy's cavalry speeds up, so we have to put a few resisting horses on the bridge when necessary. As for how to defend the river, we can only continue to put some resisting horses on the river bank to force the enemy. We can only go ashore from a few places, and then we only need to arrange a few reliable spearmen, and we can fight one against ten."

When Liu Xing heard Yu Lei mention the stone arch bridge, he immediately thought of those dragon-slaying swords, so he immediately asked: "Brother Yu, we found several dragon-slaying swords under this bridge a few days ago, and there are also We found that some swords may be stained with the blood of monsters, so we are a little worried that there are other monsters around here!"

As soon as Liu Xing said this, Yu Lei's expression became serious, because he had dealt with many magical beasts, so he knew very well how destructive a magical beast lurking in the dark could be.

Moreover, Yu Lei also has a certain understanding of the Dragon-Slaying Sword, so he knows that the monsters that can be injured by the Dragon-Slaying Sword are generally not too weak.

"Are you sure it's not the wine gorilla?" Yu Lei asked with a frown.

"There is a 90% chance that it will not be the wine gorilla, because the blood of these monsters has been covered with rust, so we estimate that these bloods of monsters have existed for more than twenty years, that is, before the incident in Sweetwater Town. Yes; and according to our previous speculation, the wine orangutan should have been in the growth stage many years ago, so its size may be similar to that of a mandrill, so it is unlikely to be injured by the dragon-slaying sword." Liu Xing explained.

Yu Lei nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said hesitantly: "In my memory, there has been no flood in Tianshui Town for a long time, and there are no sighting reports of Warcraft. So from the establishment of Tianshui Town, In the process of being burned to the ground, I really couldn't imagine that any monster would settle or pass by here; of course, it would be another matter if it was just a monster that could only live in water, because this kind of monster has always lived under water. , so we rarely see them, and most of them are just glimpses.”

"So I now know the specific situation of more than thirty kinds of Warcraft, among which there are only two Warcraft that live completely in the water. Of course, these two Warcraft do not include the Pig Dragon, which can float in the water for several months, and can also float in the water for several months. A monster that can stay on land for half a year; but the two aquatic monsters I know are unlikely to be related to this matter, because the head of the steelhead is about twice as big as the body, and it is not a magic weapon. No sharp weapon can leave a scar on its head, so if a steelhead fish passes by, the rusty dragon-slaying sword cannot hurt it."

"Then there is the swordfish. This monster is about the same size as a dog. It can spit out several water arrows that can penetrate ordinary wooden doors in the blink of an eye. It will also explode directly when it receives fatal damage, shooting towards Hundreds of small water arrows splashed around; however, this kind of monster usually lives in the south where there is no ice, and it only comes to the surface when hunting for food, so it is not like the current situation, so this may be A kind of magical beast that has not been discovered yet.”

Having said this, Yu Lei looked at Liu Xing, "So now you take me to see those dragon-slaying swords! Although the dragon-slaying swords are used to prevent dragons from collapsing bridges, the problem is that after so many years, We have never found dragons or similar monsters, and snake monsters like Guoshanfeng basically won’t take the initiative to go into the water, because they rarely come to the surface after going down; so so far, we still I think the dragon is a mythical creature, that is, a fantasy creature that only exists in myths. However, there are indeed some large fish in the water. When the water rises, they may constantly collide with the bridge piers, resulting in some fish that are not of good quality. of bridges collapsed."

"So there are two types of Dragon-Slaying Swords on the market today. One is simply an ordinary iron sword, or even an iron lump with the shape of an iron sword. Its existence is for peace of mind; and the other is the Dragon-Slaying Sword. There really is something there, and their sharpness is comparable to the magic weapons in the hands of some heroes, but they are easy to damage, so there is no pressure to use it to deal with ordinary fish schools, and this kind of dragon-slaying sword You can chop up some fish when the water rises, and then attract some predatory fish or other animals to drive away other fish, thus ensuring the safety of the bridge."

This looks so scientific.

Liu Xing did not expect that there is such a saying about Dragon Sword, but it is indeed feasible in a sense.

"In addition, there is a very special dragon-slaying sword. This dragon-slaying sword is indeed used to target some monsters passing under the bridge, but its function is to collect the blood of monsters."

Yu Lei touched his chin and said: "This is actually a modification of a very ancient trap. You may have heard of this kind of trap - the winter in the north is very cold, and the heavy snow in some places can even block the door. Live, so those animals that cannot hibernate face food problems, so local hunters take advantage of this to hunt wild wolves and other animals; simply put, they smear chicken blood and duck blood on a sharp short knife, Then let it freeze naturally, then pour a little more water and let it freeze again. After repeating this for several times, you can place the short knife on the path where wild wolves must pass."

"It's snowing heavily, and after smelling the smell, those wild wolves who have been hungry for several days may start licking the blood from the edge of the knife without choosing food, and then their tongues will gradually start to become numb. After all, this is an ice knife. But this still cannot resist their instinct to continue licking; in the end, the tongues of these wild wolves may be cut open by short knives, but their tongues have long lost feeling at this time, plus this fresh wolf Blood has more flavor, so these wild wolves will lick it more vigorously, and then they will fall down due to excessive blood loss, and finally turn into wolf fur coats."

Liu Xing had heard several versions of the story told by Yu Lei many years ago, because some versions would change the short sword into a three-edged military thorn, or add some hemp powder to the smeared chicken blood and duck blood. Or simply add arsenic directly.

"So Brother Yu, what you are saying is that some dragon-slaying swords may have some special seasonings on them, which can attract some monsters to lick them, leaving some monster blood?" Liu Xing said.

"Yes, many people are thinking about this idea now. After all, the blood of Warcraft is quite valuable, and you can keep it for your own use, so there will always be people who want to do this business, but there is one thing to say, as long as you have the courage Be a little bigger and be careful when you do it, and then the risk of doing it is not too high.”

Yu Lei said as he walked: "I knew a friend before, and he did something similar. He took a hollow short gun and put it in the woods, and then hung a piece of fresh fat on the head of the gun, so that he could When a passing monster eats meat, you will be injured by the spear if you are not careful, and the blood of the monster has a high chance to be preserved in the spear; of course, this is quite simple to say, but it is very high in practice. For example, the position of this short gun is very particular, and it must be ensured that the monster can just reach it, so that it can just open an opening."

"Then we need to understand the habits of this monster and determine when it will start hunting, because if this trap appears after it eats, it is estimated that this monster will not even look at it, and if it is after it If you put it directly before eating, you may be swallowed with the stuffing, so when to put the trap is very important; and the IQ of Warcraft is not low, you can only cheat with the same trick. If you can fool it once or twice, you're really lucky, so you have to use a different trick every time."

Hearing Yu Lei's words, Liu Xing thought of the mountain wind. Maybe he could use a trap to deal with it? For example, "release" a few chickens, ducks and geese on the mountain every day, and then tie some "seasoning" on the chickens, ducks and geese after they get used to the mountain wind?

I don’t know how high the poison resistance of Guoshanfeng itself is? In other words, whether poison resistance can have an effect on special medicinal materials such as Croton.

If that doesn't work, how about arranging some wireworms for the mountain breeze?

As soon as his thoughts opened up, Liu Xing felt that he really seemed to have a way to master the mountain wind, but it might take a long time.

Back at the Juyi Hall, Liu Xing took out the Dragon-Slaying Swords, and Yu Lei just took a look at it and said with certainty: "That's right, this is not a Dragon-Slaying Sword, it's just a useful sword. It is a trap for monsters, and it seems to be used to deal with flying monsters! If I guessed correctly, these dragon-slaying swords were placed densely under the bridge, right? In this way, you only need to hang some Bait, if you want to eat those flying monsters, you may accidentally scratch your back or wings. Of course, you may only lose a few feathers, but these feathers are also quite valuable and can be used to make arrows. The tail feathers allow beginners to point where to hit.”

I see.

When Liu Xing saw these dragon-slaying swords under the bridge before, he felt that something was wrong, because these dragon-slaying swords were crowded together instead of evenly distributed under the entire bridge.

"If it is a flying monster, then this range is quite large, because unless the flying monster has a very special shape, such as the four-winged giant eagle that often appears in the past two days, it is difficult for you to distinguish it with the naked eye. Is it a Warcraft? So now we know very little about flying Warcraft; and Flying Warcraft also likes to migrate around like ordinary birds, so this Flying Warcraft that has left the blood of Warcraft may be After staying in Sweetwater Town for a few months, we moved to other places, so we don’t need to worry about this monster still living nearby.”

Although Yu Lei was very confident when he said these words, Liu Xing always felt a little worried. . . What if this monster is a four-winged giant eagle?

"But having said that, although these dragon-slaying swords have been hanging under the bridge for many years, logically speaking, they should not be so rusty, because a qualified dragon-slaying sword will be rust-proofed, so even if It has been stored for more than 20 years, and it shouldn't be like this now, not to mention that some dragon-slaying swords have the blood of monsters on them to help prevent rust." Yu Lei said doubtfully.

At this time, Yin En immediately replied: "Is there a possibility that the reason why these dragon-slaying swords are rusty is because the blood of these monsters plays a role? In other words, that monster has the ability to accelerate The ability to rust?”

As soon as Yin En said this, Yu Lei suddenly widened his eyes, looking very surprised.

After a while, Yu Lei said seriously: "It may be possible, because there was an unsolved case in Liangcheng more than ten years ago. A family was supposed to attend a banquet that day, but it turned out that After the banquet was over, they didn't show up, so the person hosting the banquet felt a little strange. After all, the relationship between the two families was pretty good. If your family didn't come because something happened, you would probably ask someone to bring news, so he took someone there. I'm looking for that family to see what happened and if they need help."

"As a result, when they arrived at the door of that family, they knocked on the door for a long time but no one responded. When they asked the neighbors around, they also said that the door of their house had not been opened today and they heard nothing. So these people realized that something was wrong, so they They broke in through the door; as a result, they kicked the door down and the door opened directly because the door lock was already rusty! Then they found that the family was lying everywhere in the yard, without any wounds on their bodies. But there seems to be something wrong with his face, and his expression is a bit ferocious. In addition, the iron tools everywhere are rusty, but the degree of rust is still somewhat different."

Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but frown.

As a medical student, Liu Xing's teacher once put forward a hypothesis, that is, if the iron ions in the human body suddenly turn into iron atoms and become rusty, what impact will it have on the human body?
