Real Cthulhu Running Game

Bypassing the village, Liu Xing and Dogo Aige came directly to the big tree.

As a mythical creature, the task of communicating with those eight-eyed crows is naturally given to Dogo Aig.

"So, how do crows crow?"

Dogoeg touched the back of his head and said helplessly: "Although the eight-eyed crows and I are both mythical creatures, these mythical creatures in the world are not a family. How do I know how these eight-eyed crows communicate?"

Having said that, Dogo Aig still tried to "quack" the eight-eyed crows twice. . . Although it sounds more like a goose call.

So the eight-eyed crows on the tree ignored Togo Egg. The angry Togo Egg couldn't help but kick the big tree, which made the eight-eyed crows fly up in fright.

But these eight-eyed crows all fly in the same direction.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xing immediately thought of a possibility - the eight-eyed crows are "going home"!

Liu Xing patted Dogo Aige on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's follow these eight-eyed crows to find their boss."

As expected, these eight-eyed crows have been flying in one direction, and the terrain in this direction is a mountain forest, which indeed looks like the real habitat of the eight-eyed crows.

However, this is an ancient mountain forest, so it is very inconvenient to move in such an undeveloped deep mountain forest, and the field of vision will be greatly restricted. Therefore, Liu Xing and Doge Aige quickly lost sight of those The eight-eyed crow then got a little lost in the forest.

Because there are weeds and big trees everywhere in this mountain forest, you can't find any difference if you look around.

So Liu Xing looked at Dogo Aige with a headache, pointed at the big tree in front of him and said: "Dogo Aige, you should be able to climb trees, so you can climb up the tree now to see where we are, and then confirm if you can." Check out the location of those eight-eyed crows."

Dogoeg nodded, immediately transformed into the form of a deep diver, and quickly climbed to the top of the tree using his sharp claws.

After staying on the top of the tree for a while, Dogo Aig jumped down directly and said: "Our current position should be halfway up the mountain, and the group of eight-eyed crows are currently circling on the top of the mountain. If nothing happens, If that’s the case, that’s their nest, but then again, Liu Xing, do we really want to go to their nest? What if they don’t reason with us?”

"Cold salad."

Liu Xing shook his head and said: "For us, the only thing we can do now is to talk to the bosses of the eight-eyed crows about the situation here and see if they know how to leave here. After all, we are very familiar with this poem. There is still too little understanding of the world of Gefu, and it is too difficult to leave here by exploring on your own."

Liu Xing said as he walked towards the top of the mountain.

Seeing this situation, Dogo Aig didn't say much, but continued to maintain the form of a deep diver to cope with the battle that might occur at any time.

I have to say that climbing the mountain is really tiring.

When Liu Xing saw the group of eight-eyed crows again, he already felt his feet were sore and was out of breath.

So before officially approaching the Eight-Eyed Crows' lair, Liu Xing asked Dogo Egg to sit down and rest, and gave some final instructions to Dogo Egg.

"Dogo Aig, after we enter the Eight-Eyed Crow's lair later, if we can meet the boss of the Eight-Eyed Crow and he is willing to talk to us, then shut up and say nothing. You are not allowed to say anything outside, and the most important thing is that you are not allowed to touch anything for me, lest people fall out with us!"

Looking at Liu Xing with a serious face, Doge Aige nodded quickly, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry Liu Xing, since you have said so now, then I will definitely be your bodyguard honestly, but If the other side flips the table, should we fight or run?"

"Of course we are running. This is their home court." Liu Xing rolled his eyes at Doge Aige and said, "A good man will not suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. Aren't we looking for death when we fight with others here? So as long as we see that the situation is not going well, we will be thirty Of the six strategies, walking is the best strategy. Don’t think about going head-on with them, because it will definitely be us who suffer in the end.”

After repeatedly instructing Dogo Aige, Liu Xing saw that he was almost rested, so he took Dogo Aige and continued to set off, arriving at the place where the group of eight-eyed crows were hovering - outside a huge cave.

Liu Xing looked at the cave and found that it should have been dug manually. He didn't know whether the cave would be restored to its original state at a certain point in time.

At this moment, a handsome young man in black robe suddenly walked out of the cave.

He looks Asian.

Obviously, this is definitely not an NPC in the world of poetry and poetry. After all, Liu Xing thought about it and couldn't think of a few poetry and poetry related to caves, except "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring".

But when it comes to "Peach Blossom Spring", Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the "Peach Blossom Spring" in "Peach Blossom Spring" is actually a fragment of poems and songs that fell in a cave, but this The conditions for opening and leaving the broken page are relatively simple, so the villagers and fishermen entered it so easily; and after the fisherman left, the villagers may have thought that the fisherman would reveal the location of their group, so they sent someone to hold it. The broken page went to other places, so the fishermen and the local governor could no longer find the "Peach Blossom Spring".

Yes, it's reasonable and convincing.

At this time, the young man nodded towards Liu Xing and Doge Aige, and said, "Where do you two come from?"

Liu Xing frowned. He didn't expect this young man to ask such a difficult question as soon as he arrived.

These are the legendary Three Questions of Philosophy.

Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "We are from the 21st century."

Now it was the young man's turn to look confused. It was obvious that he didn't know what the twenty-first century meant.

Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that this young man had entered the world of poetry and poetry for many years. After all, it was only in the past few hundred years that Asians came into contact with the unit "century".

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "When did you enter here?"

The young man thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, I should have entered here in the first year of Yuangui."

The first year of Yuangui?

Liu Xing remembered that this was an era name during the Warring States Period of the island nation, when the shogunate was Ashikaga Yoshiaki. . . The reason why Liu Xing remembers this is because Liu Xing played "Nobunaga's Ambition" in the real world some time ago, in which the year number of the current time is displayed every year in the cutscene, so Liu Xing often played it when playing early scripts. I saw Yuan Gui in XX years.

In other words, this young man has been in this world of poetry and poetry for five to six hundred years.

However, judging from his appearance, Liu Xing has not yet seen what kind of mythical creature he is. After all, this young man's appearance has no distinguishing features.

Of course, judging from the fact that he has no pressure when facing Dogo Egg in the form of a deep diver, his strength should be very good, and he is confident that he can deal with a deep diver and himself, who "has not revealed his identity yet" mythical creature".

So Liu Xing knew that he could not intimidate him.

"Then we are entering this world five or six hundred years after you." Liu Xing said seriously.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Sure enough, there is no time in the mountains. I didn't expect that five or six hundred years have passed so quickly... Is the current island country still governed by the shogun?"

Liu Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, the shogunate has been overthrown more than a hundred years ago. Now the island country is controlled by the prime minister and cabinet."

"So, I knew that even if the shogunate was gone, the emperor would not be able to return to power." The young man sighed and said with a smile: "It seems that I made the right choice to leave the imperial family."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that the young man in front of him would be related to the royal family of the island country.

Looking at Liu Xing and Dogo Aige who were a little confused, the young man smiled and said: "I almost forgot to introduce myself, I am Yata Crow."

Yata crow? !

Liu Xing looked at the young man in front of him with surprise. He didn't expect that his background was so big.

In the myths and legends of the island country, Yata Crow is one of the spokespersons of Amaterasu. It is somewhat similar to Hermes in Greek mythology. It serves as a bridge of communication between gods and humans. It was once under the command of Amaterasu. Lead the way for Emperor Jimmu.

The image of the Yata Crow is a huge crow with three legs, which is obviously a reference to the three-legged Golden Crow in Chinese mythology.

However, the island country is a country that attaches great importance to "localization", so many foreign cultures will be magically modified after entering the island country. Therefore, apart from their similar images, the Yata Crow and the Three-Legged Golden Crow are very different in other aspects.

But no matter what, Yata Crow can be regarded as a subordinate of the ancient god, and is a higher level than other mythical creatures.

"Haha, don't think too highly of me. Although I once served the Ancient God in legends, in fact I am not the Ancient God's subordinate." Yata Crow suddenly sighed and said, "I believe you You should also know that in order to embarrass himself, the emperor of the island country forcibly claimed that he was a descendant of Amaterasu, one of the ancient gods of the island country, and arranged all the famous ancient gods in the island country to form the so-called island country. Myth, and then described me as a subordinate of Amaterasu."

"And I was just an ordinary Wuling, and I was friends with the first emperor of the island country, because I once helped him deal with a snake demon, so when he was trying to flatter himself, he didn't Wang changed me from a crow to a crow, which feels a bit ridiculous when I think about it; but I have to say that his luck is really good. Not only were the ancient gods not angry because of his random arrangement, but he also successfully deceived the ordinary people. I really regard him as the descendant of the ancient god, and the incest has continued from then on, making me, the Wuling, really turn into the Yata Crow."

As mentioned before, island countries like to make magical changes to foreign cultures, so the "crow" and "crow" in the island country form two concepts. Among them, "crow" is more positive, because crows are scavengers, so crows often appear. Around the dying or dead people, and staring directly at the "food" in front of them, the ancient islanders believed that the crows were protecting the deceased from becoming a wraith, and were offering salvation for the deceased. , so "crow" has become the preferred element of divine patterns in many island nation's shrines.

But "Crow" is different, because "Crow" is the resentful spirit formed after the death of a crow. Simply put, it is a kind of monster. Therefore, "Crow" and "Crow" can be said to be the same person but have different fates, and one is worshiped by others. , one is despised.

Therefore, Liu Xing also understands why Yatagarasu has a self-deprecating expression now, because it was originally an ordinary little monster, but now it has been inexplicably "washed" into a messenger of God. This is indeed a kind of Very amazing thing.

At this time, Dogo Aige finally couldn't help it anymore, "In that case, Yata Crow, you have always lived with the island country's royal family, so why did you leave the island country's royal family in the first year of Yuangui to enter this poetry and song world? What about the world of gifts?”

After Yata Crow was silent for a moment, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "At the beginning, when I learned that I was arranged by that guy to become a divine envoy, I was a little scared. I was afraid that those ancient gods would bring disaster to Chiyu when they punished that guy. , so I could be said to be in constant panic during that period; but after a period of time, I found that not only did the ancient gods not come to trouble me, but I also continued to become stronger because of the offerings of ordinary humans. , after all, as a spirit body, I want to become more powerful, and the easiest and fastest way is to obtain the power of faith."

"At this time, that guy also came to me to discuss, saying that he wanted me to cooperate with his performance, so I became the patron saint of the island country's royal family, and would go on tours with that guy from time to time. To ensure his status in the minds of ordinary people, I also gained great power, which made me start to become a little swollen, and I really regarded myself as the messenger of the ancient gods... No, I should say that at that time I feel like I am an ancient god.”

"Because that guy and I were superficial friends who used each other, so the royal family of the island country became increasingly weak, and I just tried to ensure that they could survive under the shogunate and continue to stay there to dream of my spring and autumn dream; but After the Battle of Okehama, I suddenly discovered that mythical creatures and even the support of the old rulers appeared behind the great names of the island country. I realized that the situation was not good, especially after I confirmed my own strength. Those powerful mythical creatures were no match for me, so I had no choice but to run away because I was worried that I would be buried with the island nation’s royal family.”
