Chapter 41 You'd better not be talking about Gu Long
The next day, the caravan set off again.
On the way over the hillside, a chessboard-shaped ruins came into view.
This chessboard-shaped relic is located on the top of a mountain. Each square is a huge stone slab. The black and white chessboard is covered with moss and traces of wind erosion.
There are still several stone chess pieces remaining on the chessboard. Without the control of anyone, the chariot chess pieces are running rampant on the chessboard, and the war horse chess pieces are jumping up and falling to the chessboard. The scene reveals a strange atmosphere.
"This is the king's chessboard that the Golden Lion King specially ordered craftsmen to cast on the mountain to commemorate the great victory in the Battle of Morning Frost Ridge, in order to offer prayers to the God of Strategy [Black Knight]."
Lena Looking at the chessboard at the far end, he said: "But for some reason, the chess pieces on the chessboard seem to be affected by Like a curse, it becomes able to act independently and attack passers-by."
After saying this, Lena looked at the red-haired woman aside and said: "We are going to pass this chessboard, and we hope you will take action. Crush these gargoyle-like chess pieces."
Hilud nodded lightly.
Yeats objected and said: "In my opinion, it would be better to just stop these chess pieces. There is no need to break the chess pieces to avoid the wrath of the black knight."
"But if you don't break the stone statue, how can you stop these chess pieces?" Lena asked confused.
"Based on my understanding of this kind of monster -" Yeats looked at the leaping war horse pieces on the chessboard, "They seem to be moving stone statues, but in fact, there is a kind of thing called ' Air nail bug's elemental creature."
"Air nail bug?" Lena was startled.
She has heard about this creature, and it can be used as a material for making the 'Wind Blade Bottle'. Just throw the Wind Blade Bottle to create strong winds to hit the enemy.
“Air spike bugs can compress and emit a strong blast of wind from their bodies, creating the visual illusion of stone sculptures moving.”
Yeats said: "Such tiny elemental creatures will gather and live in the cavities of statues, using these spaces to provide them with shelter."
The silver-haired boy's science popularization was well-founded, and Herod couldn't help but look at it. The chariot chess piece narrowed his eyes slightly and used the 'Eagle Eye' combat skill.
His eyesight increased exponentially. Hilud carefully observed the moving stone sculptures, and indeed found traces of the movement of the air nail bugs on the stone sculptures.
"To deal with the statues inhabited by air nail bugs, it is not wise to directly break them. They will launch a large number of air nails in all directions in an instant, and they may shoot people into sieves." Yeats said, "So, just find a mage who knows the sleep spell and cast the sleep spell on the stone chess pieces."
Although I know the sleep spell, it is difficult to explain the origin, so it is safer to let Lena's men do it for me.
The wolf girl Lena's golden sword flickered slightly, and she quickly adopted Yeats's suggestion and sent an accompanying mage to wave a staff and cast sleep spell on the chessboard.
After a burst of light pink light flashed, a moving chariot piece on the chessboard stopped moving. Lena was overjoyed when she saw this and ordered the mage to do the same thing and hypnotize all the remaining chess pieces.
Subsequently, tiny creatures fell out from the gaps in the chess piece statue.
Behind Lena, the dwarf and the tiger man’s two trusted followers widened their eyes.
It was just as the lord expected!
"How come your lord has such a deep understanding of Warcraft?" The Argonian was curious and spoke to Gray.
After discovering the weakness of the poisonous crocodile bird when hunting it, and now seeing the air nail insect in the stone statue, this lord's knowledge of Warcraft has far exceeded that of some elite adventurers!
The corner of Gray's mouth raised slightly, and he raised his head proudly, saying: "Don't ask, asking is a talent!"
Air spike bug is a rare elemental biological material, Lena ordered her men to use it Use knives, shovels and other tools to collect air nail bugs from the stone chess pieces and put them into glass jars.
The Air Nail Bug is a tiny silver-white bug whose interior is entirely composed of air elements. When the shell is exploded, a stream of air will surge up.
"Can you give me a can of air nailworms too?" Yeats asked.
“Of course!” Lena smiled generously, “Without your advice, passing through this ruins would not have been so smooth!”
Lena felt more and more that this lord had extraordinary abilities. at.
I really don’t know how the name ‘Kuchiki’ spread throughout the capital. Is it possible that Brondi has become so prosperous that even Yeats looks down on it?
“I would like to ask, what do you want the Air Nail Worm for?” Lena asked kindly, “If you want to make a Wind Blade Bottle, you don’t need to ask for the Air Nail Beetle, I will directly give you the Wind Blade Bottle. Just give it a try! ”
"I plan to make air nail bugs into jelly beans." Yeats said matter-of-factly.
Lena's smile froze, and she leaned forward slightly, signaling to say it again?
Yeats smiled but said nothing.
It’s night.
[Air Spike Bug Jelly Bean: One star. The jelly beans are made from elemental biogas nail bugs and honey. When bitten into pieces, the gas will crackle on the tip of the tongue. After consumption, jumping power will be permanently increased (micro)】
Yeats shook the jar of honey jelly beans in his hand, called Gray, and asked her to take a jelly bean and taste it. "What is this made of?" Gray asked suspiciously.
“Honey,” said Yeats.
Gray was doubtful, sniffed the fragrance of the jelly beans, opened her mouth and put the jelly beans into her mouth, and suddenly her whole body trembled.
Her eyes widened and she looked at Yeats in horror: "Uh...uh!"
After finally swallowing the jelly beans, Gray looked horrified: "This candy, it, it's jumping in my mouth!"
"Normal." Yeats said with a smile, "This jelly bean is not only It’s non-toxic and harmless, don’t you think?”
Gray suddenly seemed to realize something and turned pale: "You didn't add it..."
"Added air nail bugs." Yeats said in a broad voice, "It It's just called a bug, but its essence is still an elemental creature
Gray: (ノдヽ)
If Yeats is a crazy lich studying Warcraft cuisine, then I must be a poor guinea pig!
Yeats himself also tried the Air Nail Bug jelly beans, which were somewhat similar to the popping candies in his previous life, but with a honey flavor. They were also called Snow Owl Test Candies.
“Gu~（￣～￣;)”
The snowy owl chewed, his eyes suddenly widened, and his head began to shake wildly.
This candy is jumping!
Yeats observed the frequency of the snowy owl shaking its head and touched its chin.
The sensitivity of this brain is enviable...
In line with the principle of hugging the thigh of the Valkyrie, Yeats also invited Herod to taste the newly baked desserts.
Hilud was still wearing the eagle helmet when she came, and followed her herald.
She looked at the candy Yeats handed over and was slightly startled, but finally took one and put it in her mouth.
"How do you feel?" Yeats couldn't see Herod's expression under the eagle helmet.
The candy bouncing on the tip of the tongue gives people a strong sense of surprise. It cannot be simply evaluated as delicious. Hilud covered her mouth with her hands and couldn't help laughing:
"It feels... very interesting. Candy.”
The Argonians seemed to see something that subverted their worldview, and their eyes widened in shock.
Did a candy make the leader laugh?
You kid, you added medicine to the sugar, right?
……
Another day passed.
Icicles hung on the frozen cliffs, reflecting the dazzling sunlight, and a long line of pack teams passed by on the winding and rugged mountain road.
According to Herod, it is not far from the location of the temple on the manuscript.
Yeats and the others asked Lena to leave the team for half a day and got her permission.
Following the guidance of the manuscript, they passed through a stretch of snow-capped peaks, and a familiar cry echoed in the ears of the three of them again.
On the ice cliff, the snow leopard stood high, overlooking Yeats and others, with an icy blue light flashing in his eyes.
Yeats was surprised when he realized that the voice was actually coming from his mind.
"Please follow me, warrior who is not afraid of shadows."
Snow Leopard's telepathy emits a mature female voice.
"The cold wave is approaching, and the natural disaster is coming. The goddess of the winter country needs your help."
Gray: ω
A natural disaster? Could it be that he is talking about Gu Long!
Yeats: (ー`ー)
A natural disaster? You'd better not be talking about Gu Long!
