Chapter 875 Interlude
Let’s go back in time a little, to the moment when Hog Blackpipe woke up.
Well, you ask, since you are going back now, why didn’t you just follow what you wrote before, but inserted a short paragraph that happened twenty minutes later, which is full of information but not really necessary? content?
Too naive, of course because the paragraph just now is very suitable as the end of a chapter~
Okay, everyone, please be patient, I will get back to the business.
Twenty minutes ago.
“Eat first.”
After hearing these words, Hogg, who was already unconscious from hunger, immediately covered his stomach. He was still quite energetic. The dog's face suddenly shrank visibly to the naked eye, and his stomach, which could no longer make any beeps, began to roar silently, urging Hogg's brain with waves of hunger that was so clear that it made his scalp numb. Take the time to do something.
After smelling the smell of the piece of bread in his hand, this feeling immediately went to Hogg's mind. After realizing that it was indeed food, Hogg almost swallowed the piece of bread. A piece of bread went into his stomach, and then he couldn't wait to take the second piece of bread from Mo Tan's hand, which was also deliberately broken into small pieces, put it into his mouth and started chewing it.
Mo Tan, who was squatting in front of the kobold, smiled and handed him a small bottle of clean drinking water. Because there was only a big kettle in his luggage, this bottle was the one he poured into the potion bottle just now. There was only more than half of the bottle in it, and it still contained about 20% of the potion ingredients. It wouldn't be enough for Hogg to fill himself up, and it would be better than nothing to restore some physical strength.
As a result, under Mo Tan's careful care, Hogg, who had been so hungry that he fainted once, did not choke or stretch himself to death. Instead, he gradually recovered after swallowing small pieces of bread and water mixed with healing potions. In terms of physical strength, he did not gorge himself to death after getting food like many hungry people do.
After a while
“Eat these first.”
After observing that Hogg’s eating speed dropped significantly, he still asked for help immediately after swallowing the dried meat. After reaching out, Mo Tan shook his head slightly, and did not continue to take out the food. Instead, he handed a whole bottle of healing potion to the kobold boy in front of him, and said warmly: "Drink this. If you still feel hungry after a while, I will try again." "Here you go."
Hogg bared his teeth subconsciously, but still obediently took the potion in Mo Tan's hand and drank it, and then stared at the latter with the meaning in his eyes. Obviously, that is - still hungry and still want to eat.
Mo Tan didn't say anything, just looked at Hogg with a smile.
One minute later
Finally freed from the illusion that he was still hungry, Hogg shook his head vigorously and his eyesight returned to clarity. He first touched it a little slowly. He touched his swollen belly and reacted for a long time before he suddenly shuddered and said loudly to Mo Tan in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Mr. Half-Dragon."
"You're welcome, Child."
Mo Tan raised his hand and rubbed Hogg's head, not minding the large amount of blood on the latter's body, and blinked: "Are you still hungry?"
It is necessary to mention here that in fact, Mo Tan, who is not very old, did not want to call Hogg 'kid', but in order to make himself appear more reliable and help Hogg quickly regain his composure, he finally chose to do so. A name.
“I’m not hungry anymore, sir.”
Hogg shook his head politely and answered Mo Tan’s question honestly. He was rescued by the same ‘outsider’ as the three of him. The playmate who came down was different. He did not show any hostility towards Mo Tan, who was a half-dragon. Although it was not ruled out that the current situation was a special situation + a dangerous environment, at least from the perspective of self-cultivation, this person was very likely to The young man who becomes the next clan leader is indeed exceptional.
He was scared, but he was still able to force himself to calm down, and he even had the intention to secretly observe the seemingly non-hostile stranger in front of him.
【It should be very promising in the future. 】
Maybe he found a few traces of himself in the young man in front of him, Mo Tan suddenly thought with some narcissism, then he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground and ate, the content was the same as what he just said. The same as Hogg's, it was a simple meal consisting of bread, dried meat and healing potion. It tasted ordinary, but it could increase the speed of his physical recovery.
Players who do not feel hungry in the game seem to be able to increase the recovery speed of their physical energy if they eat normally, even just eating apples.
This sentence was something Mo Tan saw on the forum before. After testing with multiple characters, various environments, and various foods, he not only confirmed the authenticity of the above point of view, but even concluded An experimental report with a text volume of 20,000 words, which provides a detailed analysis of the relationship between eating and the recovery rate of various character values, from the most common apple to the [Ten Fragrant Wind Falcon] worth 80 gold coins. , up to Ji Xiaoge’s [Honey Synthetic γ], they were basically summarized by Mo Tan.
This behavior also directly led to the emptying of the apples that Luna forced on him in 'Hei Fan''s bag. 'Tan Mo' lost the last bit of gold coins on his body, and 'Mo' got Ji. Xiao Ge has a certain favorable impression of this series of results.
Of course, this is a digression. We just need to know that Mo Tan is trying his best to restore his fighting ability.
"Um. I'm sorry, sir."
Seeing that Mo Tan began to eat by himself, although he knew that it was somewhat inappropriate to ask questions now, the kobold boy gradually began to panic after regaining his composure. Still unable to hold back, he carefully thought about his only support at the moment and asked: "What are we going to do now?"
"You can call me Mo, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Mo."
Mo Tan first took a sip of the healing potion to restore his health to full, and then showed a reassuring smile: "I also know that your name is Hog Heipi. In fact, I just met you not long ago. "My aunt, Ms. Carion Heipi, is very worried about your safety."
After hearing Carion's name, the young boy's eyes suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head and choked. : "I should listen to my aunt. I."
"I also hold the same view, kid Hogg."
Mo Tan nodded slightly, and did not let the young man continue to feel depressed on his own, but cleverly changed the topic: "After we leave this place , you must apologize to Ms. Carion, I think she will forgive you."
"Leave here, leave here"
Hogg repeated the words of Mo Tan on both sides in a low voice. Then he took a deep breath and asked Mo Tan: "Are you sent by my aunt? I mean, my aunt asked you to save me?"
Mo Tan shrugged, spread his hands and said: "To be precise, after my companions and I learned that you were missing, we asked Ms. Carion to let us rescue you. By the way, your three friends were also very worried about you, and even risked Risk your life and leave the village to look for you. Don’t forget to thank them when you go back.”
Although he didn't know how to leave, Mo Tan had been consciously instilling the concept of 'we can leave successfully' into Hogg from the beginning. This behavior had an outstanding effect, and the latter has become much calmer now.
“Those three idiots.”
Hogg smiled and cursed with some emotion, then suddenly stood up and bowed to Mo Tan: “Thank you again, if you can bring If I leave here, I will definitely try to persuade my aunt to help you."
Mo Tan raised his eyebrows and looked at Hogg in surprise. After a while, he nodded with a smile and said, "No. Don't tell me, you just gave me a very good 'motivation'."
Hogg smiled sheepishly. It was obvious that he had guessed the motive of his previous words. Not pure anymore.
"Okay, now that you have calmed down, let's talk about business."
Mo Tan changed to a more comfortable sitting position and asked with a slightly serious face: "First of all, I want to It is very important to know how you appeared here and what happened after you came to this place."
"Okay sir, I..." "No need for honorifics, Hogg."
“Yes, Brother Mo, actually I”
In the following period, Hoge told Mo Tan exactly what happened after he left the village.
To put it simply, Hogg originally just wanted to take advantage of the stall where his aunt was so distressed by the outsiders to get some fresh air and leave the village to enjoy the so-called 'free' air. Unfortunately, he got lost due to familiar reasons. In addition, the child's sense of direction may not be very good, so he wandered further and further away from the village during the process of finding the way, and finally wandered near the nest of the unlucky group of night vipers.
What happened next was not very different from what Mo Tan had guessed. The young man who led the snake out of the hole began to flee in a hurry and finally ran to an open space. In the process, he was very familiar with it. Diandi fell down, leaving Bolenggaika bald, and his hands were scratched with two blood marks on the ground. At this moment, those unlucky night vipers determined that their prey had no ability to fight back. 'Then approached at high speed, ready to hunt.
Then, Hogg's blood triggered some kind of mechanism, and the night vipers he brought behind him were directly transported to this place. Due to his poor physical fitness, Hogg was directly transported to this place during the transmission process. He fainted with a crunch, and when he woke up and saw the pair of snake corpses around him that had been cut into pieces by two knight statues, he fainted for the second time with a crunch, and when he woke up he saw Ink Tan.
By the way, here is a digression, that is, not all the night vipers lured by Hogg were passed away, and those survivors found the second wave shortly after returning to their nests, which looked better. The prey that was dealt with was then wiped out by the Wangwang team and the beautiful girl mercenary group.
Okay, this is a pretty sad story.
In short, after obtaining the information that was mostly deduced by himself, Mo Tan can already determine the reasons for the disappearance of the 'black skins' in the past.
There is something wrong with their blood, which can trigger some mechanisms that are probably located in more than one place around the village, and those unknown mechanisms will teleport the surrounding living creatures into some places after being triggered. It is a place that is absolutely inseparable from the Sun Dynasty. At this point, the people are gone.
According to what Carion said, not only are those people gone, but most of them have been in trouble.
This is what Mo Tan doesn't understand. After all, the knight statues here will not attack people with the 'black skin' bloodline, and this kind of building that is most likely an underground palace should not have no exit. , if that's the case, why didn't any of the missing people go back?
He frowned, put the question aside for the time being, and patted Hogg's shoulder gently: "So the main reason why you were in danger this time was that you got lost?"
"Yes, Brother Mo." "
The kobold boy blushed and lowered his head, and whispered: "I just wanted to leave the village to get some fresh air while my aunt was busy, because my friends often play near the village, so I think I should be fine. I didn’t expect that my sense of direction would be so bad. I’m sorry. If I had shouted for help or stayed where I was, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“ No!"
Mo Tan shook his head firmly, looked at Hogg with stern eyes, and said decisively: "It was not you who was wrong!"
The young man was stunned: "It's not me?"
"It's not you!"
"That is."
"It's this world without intelligent navigation, and those A world with smart navigation but increasingly complex road conditions.”
Mo. Tan said such nonsense in a deep voice, and then simply told Hogg the reason why he appeared in this place. Finally, he said with some hesitation: "That's the way it is. If nothing else, we should be trapped here. I I thought of a way, but"
He frowned and did not continue speaking, obviously still struggling.
“But?”
Hogg was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Mo Tan had nothing to say, he started to think about it, and quickly guessed the 'method' that the latter had thought of temporarily: " Brother Mo, I seem to understand."
Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands vigorously and said, "Don't worry, let's think of another way."
" No, I think this is a good idea.”
The smart kobold boy stood up and grinned at Mo Tan: "If those stone statues really won't attack me, a person with 'black skin' blood, then it would be perfect for me to explore the way."< br>
“It’s too dangerous.”
Mo Tan still shook his head and said solemnly: “I don’t think it’s possible.”
“I am still very confident in my own steps. , although I am indeed a little scared."
Hogg rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "So I want to walk a short distance by myself first. Brother Mo, just wait for me here. I will call you when I feel safe. Go over and continue to explore the road. If I encounter danger, I will run back to Brother Mo for protection as soon as possible.”
"But."
"There is no better way, right? Are there any torches?"
Mo Tan sighed, took out a second torch from his bag, and used The flint lit: "Yes."
"Then I will walk a short distance first~"
Hogg took the torch, hammered his withered chest hard, and said with a trembling smile : "I'm so brave."
So, the 'courageous' young man took a torch, shivering, cautiously, and took him a full fifteen minutes to walk through the less than fifty-meter-long corridor in front of him, and then he was sweating profusely. He turned around and waved to Mo Tan, and mustered up the courage to turn a corner.
Ten seconds later
“Brother Mo!!”
Zhonglue
“Maybe he wants to kill me!!!”
