Chapter 562 Unexpected Harvest
With the elimination of the snake god Ige, the exploration of the underground snake-man empire has come to an end. Duanmuhuai asked the puppets to check all the underground ruins. After confirming that all the monsters were killed, he put all their corpses together and then completely disposed of them with black flames.
Of course, with the death of the snake god, most of the snake people in other places will also die. Although there may be some lucky ones who survive, without the protection of the racial gods, these guys can't make any waves.
In addition, in the snake man's lair, Duanmuhuai and the others also found a diary left by a victim long ago, which recorded the reason for this tunnel - it turned out that before this, this mansion Belonging to a slave-trading smuggler. In order to avoid being discovered by the authorities, he deliberately dug this secret tunnel under his mansion. It was originally intended to lead to the outside of the city, but he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune along the way. He accidentally dug through the Snake Man's tunnel. cave.
The slave-trading snakeheads dug the Snake Man's Cave. From a certain point of view, it was God's will.
Although the tunnel was dug, the business was not going smoothly because slaves were smuggled several times and disappeared halfway, and even the people who guarded them never came back.
So the furious snakehead personally took people to check the situation, and then they followed the snakeman's cave to the snakeman's lair - and then were caught by the snakeman.
But these people were not killed directly. On the contrary, the men were killed by the snake people as sacrifices to the snake god, while the women were kept by the snake people to reproduce their offspring. In fact, the white ape-like monsters Duanmuhuai and the others saw before were the children born between snake people and humans... Well, these snake people and goblins really look alike.
Of course, it is useless to say this now. The diary recorder has died long ago, the snake god is also dead, and the snake man is also dead. It can only be said that it has been proved once again that the hearts of people who are not my race must be different, and all aliens are. The necessity of genocide is the correctness of the basic policy of the Inquisition.
As for what to do with this ruins - Duanmuhuai asked Mary to call Professor Parmar and ask him to take charge of the research and excavation work here. Now that the snake god is dead, it is not a bad idea to keep this ruins. In fact, making humans aware of some things will also make them mentally prepared, right?
After receiving Mary's call, Professor Parmar was naturally overjoyed and said that he would immediately lead the team to Cornwall - after all, excavation of ruins is a first-come, first-served basis, and Professor Parmar himself is a middle-class scholar. , the reputation is average, if someone intercepts you halfway, it will be the end. So he also knew how to seize the opportunity, and immediately organized the team to set off after hanging up the phone... Of course, since he was taking a train, there was no need to worry about him passing through a murderous hotel.
Mary was responsible for taking care of Professor Parmar, while Duanmuhuai briefly reported to the client what had happened - yes, to put it simply, the culprit had been eliminated and the matter had been resolved.
It's that simple.
Although Earl Best still seems to have doubts, Duanmuhuai doesn't care. All that needs to be done has been done. Only time can verify it. Anyway, he doesn't lack this little money, not to mention that after killing the snake god Ige this time, Duanmu Huai also gained quite outstanding abilities.
"Drink————!"
Duanmu Huai stretched out his right hand, and the next moment, the palm of his right hand suddenly transformed into several twisted translucent tentacles, stretched forward, wrapped tightly around the wine bottle, and then grabbed it to pieces.
Yes, this is the [Omen of Eppolieta] that Duanmuhuai obtained. As the ability description says, it can turn any part of Duanmuhuai's body into the limbs of the Old Ones - in short , which is the tentacle.
"Well, this is quite useful."
Duanmu Huai nodded, then thought about it carefully, and then hairs grew on his bald head and stretched out automatically, and then turned into long tentacles - it looked like a head full of venomous snakes. Hair like Medusa.
"This is a little bit awkward."
Seeing the hair that couldn't stop squirming, Duanmu Huai was also terrified and decisively released the form.
But…………
"It would be great if it could be used like this."
Duanmuhuai clenched his fists as he spoke. After getting this ability, Duanmu Huai thought of many ways to use it. Among them, Duanmu Huai seemed to think that the best way was to use a tentacle to restrain the enemy, and then face the opponent with Euler. In this way, he was not afraid at all. The enemy will be knocked away, and it can be directly killed by Euler.
There's just one small problem.
"I only have two hands."
Duanmu Huai looked at his left and right hands. He wanted to use both fists to attack the enemy, so naturally he didn't have a third hand.
Um?
That’s right!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's eyes flashed, and then he clenched his fists. Then, he saw several thick tentacles suddenly emerging from his buttocks and grabbing directly forward!
“……………………”
Something doesn't feel right?
Forget it, it feels weird to use it against a man, and if the other party uses some method to cut off the tentacles, then I...
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai felt a chill on his back and crotch.
Let's think of other ways.
Duanmuhuai silently put away his tentacles again.
It's rare to get a good skill, can it only be used against Suzuame or Kanami?
This is too wasteful…………
"Dong dong dong."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Mary's voice came from outside the door.
"Mr. Duanmu, are you there?"
"Oh, I'm here."
Duanmu Huai put away his tentacles, moved his limbs, and then spoke. Mary also opened the door and walked in.
"How is the situation over there with Professor Parmar?"
"After seeing the ruins, he was very excited, saying that it could fill in the gaps in ancient history... Is it really no problem? Take those things out?"
Mary followed Duanmu Huai to defeat the snake people, and she also read the diary, so she naturally knew how terrifying these monsters were.
"It doesn't matter. Now that the snake gods are dead, they are no different from the extinct dinosaurs and pose no harm to humans. On the contrary, it would be better to do more research. At least it can let humans know more about this aspect instead of just being passive. Accept their existence.”
The more humans know about them, the easier it is for them to become resistant to these monsters. This is another reason why Lorena doesn't drop SAN much when seeing these monsters.
"But the first discoverer must be you. Nothing can compromise this point."
"Huh? I, but...it's obviously Mr. Duanmu who..."
"Neither Lorena nor I have any need for this. You are a student in the History Department, right? Isn't this a very important record for you?"
This is also one of the conditions proposed by Duanmuhuai and Professor Parmar, which is to let Mary be the first discoverer of the ruins. Mary is a student in the Department of History and is majoring in archeology. The discovery of the ruins can be said to be logical and even a bit legendary.
How to say it.
It's like a biology student accidentally discovering a whole new species.
Or it’s like medical students discovering hidden serious illnesses during clinical internships.
For students, this is a very impressive thing.
Of course, this kind of thing probably doesn't have much reputation in the outside world, but within the academic world, Mary can rely on this to get ahead. At least, with this qualification, others will think highly of her, which will also be good for Mary's future academic development. Just like Watson, although he writes books, isn't his official job also a military doctor?
Being a military doctor doesn't affect Watson's ability to follow Holmes in solving crimes, right?
After handing over the ruins to Professor Parmar and his team, Duanmuhuai and others left Cornwall. Mary returned to the Fog City and began to write about the two adventures and compile them into a book. Duanmuhuai, on the other hand, was not idle. After resting for a few days in the foggy city, he turned around and quietly headed to Yellowstone Park.
And Duanmuhuai came here for only one purpose.
"It should be around here."
Walking in the woods of Yellowstone Park, looking at the Yellowstone volcano not far away, Duanmuhuai looked around. His purpose of coming here was simple, that is, to find the foundation's headquarters and steal the "Deus Ex Machina".
No, how can the blood duck thing be called stealing?
"Come on, let's try it."
The use of "Heart of Blood Crow" is very simple. As long as you go to the designated location and then use "Heart of Blood Crow", players will have a chance to get something. Of course, if you can see what you want to steal, then you may be able to get it without anyone noticing.
But if you don’t have one, it’s basically just random stuff to see what you can get.
Duanmuhuai remembered that the foundation base was under the Yellowstone Volcano. He had already walked to the edge. Logically speaking, the base of the foundation should be under his feet.
So…………
"Heart of Bloodraven."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai clenched his right hand, and the next moment, he felt something quietly added to his hand. So Duanmu Huai opened his hand excitedly and looked at it.
“……………………”
It's bird droppings.
MMP, got off to a bad start, here we go again.
After washing his hands with mineral water, Duanmuhuai tried again.
"Heart of Bloodraven!"
………………
A pen, well, at least it can prove that my guess is correct, at least pens cannot grow on the ground in Yellowstone Park.
"Heart of Bloodraven!"
A cup of steaming coffee, what's the use of it?
Do it again!
…………………eraser?
Come again!
……………love letter? Are you living such a nourishing life down there?
Come again!
…………
Until the sun went down, Duanmu Huai couldn't find what he wanted. On the contrary, there was almost a mountain of garbage piled up next to him.
Am I so unlucky?
Duanmu Huai looked at the mountain of garbage around him speechlessly. There were A4 paper, pens, erasers, blackboards, a few chairs, desks, a safe, a few records, and even surveillance cameras and diapers... Well, Duanmuhuai was sure that he absolutely did not want to know what research these foundation members were doing down there.
Do I have to empty this place? Although Blood Duck has done similar things before...
While thinking this, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand again... hmm?
What's this?
Feeling a different touch than before, Duanmuhuai raised his hand curiously, and then.........
"Soul Card?"
That's right, what appeared in Duanmu Huai's hand was a soul card.
【Deus Ex Machina (Legend)】
【Consumption: 5】
【Attack: 4】
【Defense: 5】
[Effect: Unknown]
[I am the mechanical god who controls cause and effect. It is your freedom to make the world more stable or bring greater chaos... Come on, what do you want? 】
【Sealed】
"Is there really a deus ex machina?"
Looking at the card in his hand, Duanmu Huai was also surprised. Although players in the forum did say this, because no one had ever gotten it, Duanmu Huai just tried it. In fact, he originally planned to give up and go back if it didn't work, and then purchased the blueprints of the Reality Anchor from the Foundation and slowly studied it on his own.
I just didn't expect that it was really unintentional, and I actually got it.
“Woo…………Woo…………!!!”
At the same time, suddenly, a sharp siren suddenly sounded, echoing over the Yellowstone Volcano. At the same time, the lights under the mountain suddenly flashed, and it was obvious that the Foundation had also discovered that its biggest trump card was missing.
“……………………”
Slipping away, if you don't run away now, when will you wait?
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai took a few steps back, and then he completely disappeared into the darkness and disappeared.
