Chapter 164: Searching for Immortals
Such a strange scene made Professor Ding feel a little numb, and subconsciously stayed away from these flesh and blood creatures.
But Li Wenhao seemed to be very thoughtful. He even walked up to the two squirming animals, seeming to be thinking about something.
Then, he took out the pieces of blood and flesh he had collected earlier from his arms and placed them on the animal!
With Li Wenhao's operation, the animal's scattered intestines were tied up, and the internal organs and pieces of blood and flesh were stuffed back into the body, turning into a sticky mess.
Li Wenhao even pushed the two parts of the animal's body to squeeze them back together.
"Brother Ding, why are you still standing there? Didn't you pick it up too?"
Li Wenhao urged while turning back to collect the pieces of flesh and blood.
“Huh?”
Lecturer Ding felt a little numb. He forced himself to endure the discomfort and walked up. Sure enough, the interaction button really appeared on the corpse.
After pressing it, Li Huanzhen took out the pieces of blood and flesh that he had taken before and stuffed them on the body.
"Mouse, I feel like you are in tune with the brain circuitry of this game? How did you think that corpses can also interact?"
Lecturer Ding is a little curious, after all, normal people see this A bunch of flesh and blood monsters subconsciously want to stay away, right? If you don't look over there, you won't see the interactive button.
Li Wenhao said matter-of-factly: "Ah? Try it when you see interactive elements in the scene. Isn't this the most basic player habit?"
Lecturer Ding was speechless for a moment. : "That's right."
Soon, as the last piece of Li Wenhao's flesh and blood was stuffed into the animal's body, it came to life!
Judging from its still intact head, it seems to be a deer, but it looks quite bloated at this time, with a lot of flesh and blood tissue proliferating at the waist fracture, which looks quite strange.
Li Wenhao sighed with emotion: "It looks a little weird, after all, it's not as good as the original one. But it's not a big problem, as long as it can move."
Instructor Ding didn't know what to say for a while. Is this not a big problem?
However, he did not refute. After all, we are friends playing games together. Even if a friend is a little strange, it is not easy to directly challenge them, and it is easy to end the friendship.
Lecturer Ding is quite emotionally intelligent.
The deformed flesh deer limped away.
Li Wenhao walked forward, wanting to save more animals, but this time it seemed that the bandits' warning range was triggered, and three bandits rushed over together!
"Hey! Brother Ding, be careful!"
Li Wenhao yelled and quickly retreated. The two of them pulled the monster away from each other as they did before.
Li Wenhao took away two bandit soldiers, while Professor Ding faced the bandit leader directly.
The two bandit soldiers were holding axes instead of knives, so their movements were obviously slower. Li Wenhao seemed quite uncomfortable.
The bandit leader’s sword was even more strange and its speed was a mystery. Lecturer Ding had to stand in the air several times while trying to parry, and was severely beaten.
Finally, after a simple resistance, Lecturer Ding fell to the machete of the bandit leader first.
The familiar big characters appeared on the screen again: Collapse!
The two returned to the entrance of the valley and were resurrected.
Li Wenhao was a little helpless: "Brother Ding..."
Lecturer Ding was also a little embarrassed, both times because his death implicated Li Wenhao.
It can only be said that the two-player mode of this game is not friendly to friends. Two people share one life. If there is a special dish that keeps holding back, the difficulty will be even higher than playing alone!
However, this also aroused Professor Ding's desire to challenge: "This is an accident! I'll be careful this time, it should be fine!"
Li Wenhao didn't believe a word he said: "Okay, Brother Ding, I believe you, but this time it's up to you to deal with the two monsters..."
The two stepped forward to start a fierce battle again.
After dying twice more, the two finally began to gradually adapt to the rhythm of the game. Although they have not yet mastered the relevant mechanism of rebound, after all, this game can still dodge. Li Huanzhen's mobility Very good too.
So after killing the two soldiers, the two of them besieged the bandit leader one after another, and finally tortured him to death.
“Phew! Done!
"The BOSS in this game is quite cruel!"
Lecturer Ding and Li Wenhao both discovered that the BOSS and the mobs in this game seem to use two different mechanisms.
Mobs have no overlord effect. Below the health bar is the posture bar. It is 0 at the beginning. It will increase after parrying. When it is full, execution can be triggered directly.
But BOSS is not like this. There is a purple energy bar under the health bar. The player's normal attacks will also slightly reduce this energy bar while deducting blood, while perfect parries and some special attack methods can significantly reduce the energy bar.
After the energy bar is empty, the BOSS will lose its dominance state and can attack and suppress it.
At the same time, after the energy bar is cleared, the posture bar can be accumulated. When the posture bar is full, execution can also be performed.
But if the momentum bar is not successfully filled within a certain period of time, the energy bar will automatically be restored according to a certain proportion.
In the middle and late stages of the game, some powerful BOSSs will automatically change their forms and fill their energy bar when changing stages, but Lecturer Ding and Li Wenhao have not encountered them yet.
This bandit leader is just the most common elite monster in the game, but it still caused great difficulties for the two of them.
Finally, the two of them finally defeated the bandits together.
However, before they had time to celebrate, they saw the huge flesh and blood monster moving towards the two of them.
Lecturer Ding couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, a second consecutive battle? Don't be disgusting!"
At this time, the two of them had exhausted all their strength to defeat the bandit, this flesh and blood monster It looks very powerful, and it is definitely unbeatable.
However, Li Wenhao approached and said, "This looks like a friendly unit, right?"
Lecturer Ding was shocked. Why on earth did you tell me that this kind of thing is a friendly unit?
Maybe my brain is broken!
Sure enough, as Li Wenhao approached, the flesh and blood monster suddenly stretched out a tentacle and wrapped him up!
Li Wenhao found that he could not move, and could only be controlled by the flesh and blood monster and sent into the bloody mouth.
“Brother Ding, save me!”
Lecturer Ding was speechless, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and step forward. But what he didn't expect was that a cutscene was triggered at this moment.
Li Huanzhen grabbed him with his tentacles, and the flesh-and-blood monster opened its bloody mouth, preparing to eat him.
This should be the Li Huanzhen controlled by Li Wenhao.
He struggled hard and kept stabbing the flesh and blood monster with the sword in his right hand, but he still wanted to be swallowed up.
At the last moment, Li Huanzhen could only stretch out his left arm to resist in vain, but he was still bitten by the bloody mouth!
As the flesh monster's mouth full of broken teeth closed, his left hand was also swallowed.
Immediately afterwards, the bloody mouth opened again, and the tentacles of the flesh and blood monster were raised high again, trying to throw Li Huanzhen directly in!
However, just as Li Huanzhen fell into the bloody mouth, a huge sword fell from the sky and cut off the flesh and blood monster directly!
A large amount of flesh and blood poured out of its belly, including Li Huanzhen, who was covered in flesh and blood.
With one left arm missing, he fell into a pile of flesh and blood, and a mysterious man holding a sword and wearing heavy Chinese-style armor appeared next to him.
After a brief black screen, the camera switched to a dilapidated Taoist temple.
The blood stains on Li Huanzhen's clothes had disappeared. He gradually woke up, raised his left hand and looked at it, only to find that his original left hand had disappeared and was replaced by a skeleton of white bones.
It’s just that this skeleton arm can be used as usual, and it is surrounded by a special black bamboo slip.
Each bamboo slip presents a narrow pentagon, a bit like a hexagram or a tablet. It is layered around the skeleton arm and vaguely exudes a black aura.
Li Huanzhen climbed up from the straw in the corner of the Taoist temple and saw that the statue in the center of the Taoist temple had completely collapsed and its original appearance could not be seen. However, the incense burner on the offering table was still burning incense, and under the offering table There is a dark cabinet, I don’t know what it is for.
A young female Taoist priest knelt on the straw mat in front of the altar, holding a stick of incense in her hands and praying with her eyes closed.
Outside the Taoist temple, the mysterious man in heavy armor who had rescued Li Huanzhen before was silently cleaning the large sword.
At this time, the game naturally switched from the CG cutscene to the normal game screen, and Professor Ding found that he could control Li Huanzhen's movements.
And the Li Huanzhen controlled by Li Wenhao did not know when he appeared on the screen.
The two didn't say much. This was a very common opening kill in the game, so they immediately started talking to the NPC and went through the plot separately.
During the conversation, Professor Ding quickly learned several key pieces of information.
Li Huanzhen’s left hand was mixed with a large amount of flesh and blood and was corroded by the monster, which was beyond repair. But the general took out a black bamboo slip, allowing Li Huanzhen to continue using his left arm.
This black bamboo slip is called "Seeking Immortals". It can not only perform normal arm functions, but also gain some special abilities by sacrificing body parts after obtaining the secret.
However, the upgrade materials for the Secret Legend and the Immortal Searching Record need to be obtained in subsequent explorations.
At this time, the country where Li Huanzhen was located was called "Daliang", and the heavy-armored general who rescued him was named Zhao Siyuan, who was a loyal minister of Daliang.
