Chapter 957 Bag (Four K)

Latest website: The stone pillars are slowly falling down like melted candles.

Win or lose?

Seeing the searching expressions on the faces of his companions, Hohenheim showed a faint wry smile and stepped off the stone platform onto the grass.

"I am willing to admit defeat."

Claude, who also walked down the platform, threw the three bags in his hands towards Hohenheim from a distance with an indifferent expression.

The latter used the hand of the mage to grab three cloth bags of suspicious material from the air and did not put them into the space storage device.

"I lost this time."

Claude patted the dust on the three palms, twisted his neck, and said indifferently: "There are one, two, and three black spots at the bottom of these three bags respectively.

They open time, respectively, when you are attacked by evil and filthy things;

When you hear unreasonable requests;

And when you are about to leave here;

Strictly following these three time points and opening the bags in sequence according to the number of black spots should be able to help you overcome the difficulties ahead.

If you open the bag at an inappropriate time or make repeated attempts to explore the contents of the bag,

Something pretty bad is going to happen...

Don't blame me for not reminding you. "

After that, he glanced at the wild boar carcasses on the ground that had been dissected by David and neatly stacked on the plastic sheet, and said in shock: "How did you decompose it? This is my dinner!"

"Um?"

David was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "Uh... I thought you killed this creature just to demonstrate with us.

But it shouldn’t matter now, I just broke it down for you. "

"You know what the heck, I'm here to make soup. Just now I smashed its brain with my fist, just to ensure that the original flavor of the ingredients can be sealed under the fur, but now you've ruined it all..."

Claude babbled for a while with red eyes, and then calmed down after a moment. He took a deep breath, picked out a few pieces of wild boar with a straight face, wrapped them in plastic cloth, and tied them into a package.

boom.

He put the package on his back, turned his head and took a deep look at the players, and said with a straight face: "Start here, follow the eleven o'clock direction, and proceed three kilometers, and then follow the eight o'clock direction, and proceed five kilometers." kilometers, then walk left for two kilometers..."

Claude spoke very quickly and reported a large section of the route, and concluded: "If you follow the route I mentioned, you should not be attacked by wild beasts.

If you stray from the path, do not respond to any sounds you hear, and walk toward the sun until you meet others.

Wait until you get out of the forest,

You will know where to go next..."

After saying that, without waiting for the players to ask questions again, Claude picked up the package containing the pork, stepped on the ground, and rushed into the depths of the dense forest. His figure was quickly swallowed up by the shadow of the trees and disappeared.

"It turns out that with such a big wild boar, how big of a pot does it take to make soup..."

Shinji Ding stood there, smacking his lips, and looked at the others, "Want to chase?"

"Need not."

Hohenheim, who was standing at the front, shook his head and turned to look at his companions. "Let's follow the route he told us. I'll tell you what happened on the way."

A group of players set out on the road. As Li Ang guessed, the actual area that can be explored in this forest is quite vast. The road indicated by Claude is complicated, but overall, it is still heading in the direction of eleven o'clock.

At the player's traveling speed, and knowing the road, it will take almost an hour.

Along the way, Hohenham began to recount his coin-tossing experience.

In the first two rounds of throwing, he won first, and then immediately lost two sets to Claude, entering the match point game at 2-2.

"In the fourth round, I had calculated almost all interfering factors including the surrounding air density, wind direction, wind speed, angle and strength of the coin, but I still lost that round."

"That's when I realized it wasn't just luck or a mathematical game of probabilities," Hohenheim explains.

The essence of tossing a coin is actually to compete with each other to see who is more skillful and able to influence and interfere with the coin without being discovered by the other party. "

David raised his eyebrows, "Cheating?"

"Yes, it's cheating."

Hohenheim nodded and said, "The coin itself has no problem, the problem is Claude himself.

During the brief moment when I tossed the coin and it flew up and spun in mid-air,

He stared at the coin with his own eyes, and the trajectory of its rotation changed subtly. This was only discovered by me when I kept replaying the previous video in my mind before the fifth round started.

Every time he tossed a coin, a tiny, almost imperceptible red dot lit up deep in his eye.

Although at the beginning of the fifth round, I still didn’t know what the red dots in the depths of the opponent’s eyes had to do with the coins, but knowing his cheating methods, I could interfere and reveal his tricks. "

Hohenheim shrugged his shoulders and said: "The ejection strength of the control mage's hand is obviously not good, and it will definitely be interfered by the opponent.

Methods such as controlling gravity and wind will probably be noticed by the opponent on the spot and caught.

So my method is to use light. "

Din Shinji frowned, "Light?"

"That's right."

Hohenheim nodded and said: "Although light does not have rest mass, it does have momentum, which is manifested in the macroscopic world, which is commonly known as light pressure.

The thrust generated by this light pressure can be ignored in most cases.

But in special circumstances, for example, after I use magic to strengthen the sunlight and form optical tweezers at the macro level, the thrust generated by the light pressure can interfere with the rotation of the coin.

At the beginning of the fifth round of throwing, I pretended to throw with normal force, and then suddenly increased the force, causing the coin to bounce high, instantly pass through the canopy of the tree, and fly into the air.

Claude didn't expect this. When he suddenly raised his head, trying to focus his sight on the coin, I had already used magic to complete the light pressure interference above the canopy, causing the coin to rotate. The angle has changed.

The potential energy of the coin began to convert into kinetic energy, and it fell straight into the hands of my mage.

Claude was not given enough opportunities to interfere with his gaze.

I won the round without breaking the rules—I just threw a little harder. "

Hohenheim paused and said slowly: "Now that I think about it, Claude's gaze should be a superpower based on the law of cause and effect.

When he enters the observation state, the coin will rotate in the direction he wants.

Maybe in addition to light pressure interference, I can also win the game by cutting down the surrounding trees, changing the wind direction and force, or blocking his line of sight.

After all, he was too confident, and in the fifth round, he still chose to reverse the result of his throw.

Among the first three shots, as long as one goes positive, you will definitely lose. "

"So that's it."

David nodded, looked at the three bags held by Hohenheim with his mage's hand, and asked: "Aren't you tired of holding the bags while you are casting spells all the time? Don't you put them in the backpack column?"

"This thing is shown as a bound item and cannot be put into the backpack slot."

Hohenheim's expression became a little strange and he disclosed the description of the bag's contents.

[Name: Suspicious Bag]

[Type: mission props]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Special effects: Containment. A strange bag containing the treasures of the three-armed monster Claude】

[Consumption: None]

[Cooling time: None]

[How to use: Unlock the bag]

[Note: Mission props cannot be placed in the backpack column or space storage device]

[Note: A long time ago, the three-armed weirdo Claude was a famous chef. Every dish he developed could trigger a trend in the kingdom. Until one day he was discovered that his gourmet secret was to add his own body parts to every dish, such as nails, dandruff, bath mud, saliva, nasal mucus, etc.】

[Note: Claude, a famous chef who was expelled from the kingdom, went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain to change his mind and repent, but his personal hygiene became worse and worse. Personal suggestion...it’s best not to touch anything he gives you with your palms]

"this...."

David was stunned for a moment, smelling the strange smell emanating from the bag, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind. "Okay, I understand why you want to hold it with magic hands..."

"But if you can't put it in the backpack compartment, you have to carry it with you all the time."

Shinji thought for a while and said, "Mr. Hohenheim, didn't you use magic to observe what's inside?"

"I tried, but it didn't work."

Hohenheim said: "This bag can absorb energy. The detection spell has no effect, but based on the shape, weight, sound...

The first bag should contain metal products, the second bag should contain stones, and the third bag should contain a piece of meat or rubber products.

Considering that this thing is a mission item and will definitely be useful later, it is best not to destroy or dismantle it according to Claude. "

Following Hohenheim's narration, it didn't take long for the group to walk out of the dense forest without encountering any additional trouble.

They stood outside the forest and looked toward the back. The dark and deep forest was like a huge monster, silently opening its bloody mouth to devour people.

"Coming out."

Shinji took a deep breath and looked at the remaining power in the cockpit, which was still 90%.

The Kuiniu mecha underwent a comprehensive upgrade after the battle for the door, and its overall battery capacity was much higher than before. There are also two large-capacity energy devices in his backpack, which should be enough to cope with the upcoming script tasks.

"Um."

Li Ang nodded slowly, "Looking from outside, the movement of this forest is really obvious."

From the perspective of the players, the entire dark forest is changing in a strange way. The crowns of the trees at the edge of the forest were rustling in the wind in the last second.

The next second, the trees suddenly changed.

The types, shapes, and colors of trees, shrubs, and grass have changed.

But there was no obvious difference, as if the new trees had always grown there.

"These trees change together with the land below, but the leaves falling from mid-air will not shift."

Liu Wuxiao observed for a while and said calmly: "Maybe the position change is based on the ground.

If we don't encounter the NPC Claude, or lose the coin tossing game, we should be able to get out of the forest by levitating.

Maybe even faster. "

"But it may take more time to find the law of levitation."

Hohenheim said lightly and turned to look ahead, "The Holy Mountain should be in front of us."

Everyone turned around and saw a towering snow-capped mountain located in the distance.

The rugged rocks on the mountainside are green and black, and the snow on the peaks is quite thick and white, and the clouds and smoke are lingering, making it look like a fairyland.

And on the top of the snow-capped mountains, there stood a towering weird building.

The building was in the shape of a cube as a whole, pitch black, and covered with golden straight lines that crossed each other, dividing the building into pieces.

Like a Rubik's cube, it is inserted abruptly on the surface of the snow-capped mountains.

The volume of the building deep under the snow layer is unknown how huge it is.

"Holy Mountain..."

Hohenheim narrowed his eyes, "Let's go."

The mission goal of the first stage is [pass through the forest and reach the foot of the Holy Mountain]

The player has completed the first half, and needs to continue moving forward in the second half. Wangshan is a dead horse. Even at the player's traveling speed, it is best to go faster.

Everyone took a short rest and then moved forward again.

After stepping out of the forest, the barrier of lightning strikes still exists.

Since modern vehicles and summons cannot be used,

Li Ang simply used the soil of this world to release alchemy, and made a few sleighs with spring shock absorption systems, and let everyone sit on them.

Shinji Ding turned on the pulley function of the Kuiniu mecha, dragged the rope in front, and pulled the sled forward.

The Kuiniu mecha was originally built to adapt to harsh environments. In an environment with extremely low free energy, it can also adapt to the "altitude sickness" that lacks energy.

The movement speed is faster than others, and it can also help others save energy.

For the high-level players present, it was quite a "mundane is the real" experience.

Soon, Shinji Ding pulled other companions, climbed over several small slopes, and approached the foot of the Holy Mountain.

The moment the soles of the Kuiniu Mecha stepped on the blue-black rocks, a system prompt sounded in everyone's ears.

[The first phase of the task has been completed]

[The second phase mission goal: find a way to enter the Holy Mountain]

[Task time limit: 5 hours]

[Task reward: none]

[Penalty for mission failure: None]

"Find a way to enter the Holy Mountain?"

Shinji Ding was stunned for a moment, then let go of the rope of the sleigh and turned to look at the others, "Does this mean we can't go in directly?"

“Enter the Holy Mountain, not climb the Holy Mountain.”

Hohenheim frowned and said: "We are already within the snow-capped mountains.

The system’s task description, taken literally,

Maybe it allows us to pass through the Rubik's Cube-shaped building and enter the interior of the Holy Mountain?

Or just dig a tunnel. "

"Another 5-hour time limit..."

David squinted his eyes and said slowly: "It is impossible to dig a tunnel. There is something wrong with these stones at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. Their hardness is much higher than ordinary stones in the real world.

I guess I can only go through the Rubik's Cube building.

However, the height of the Rubik's Cube building from the ground is higher than the height we detected before that would cause lightning strikes.

Climbing a snowy mountain rashly may cause lightning strikes.

In addition, there is also the risk of encountering monster attacks and avalanches on the snowy mountains.

Um? "

Suddenly, David seemed to have noticed something. He instantly pulled out the spear of judgment from the backpack rail, and the power gushing from his body flowed to his right arm.

The surging electric current penetrated the golden spear, and the tip of the hair struck the air with a crackling sound.

"Who's there? Come out!"

David growled toward an empty space at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. The spear in his hand was ready to be thrown out at any time.

"Don't attack, don't attack."

Just listen to the old call, ringing in the open space,

In the seemingly empty open space in front of everyone, the light flickered and changed, revealing a small mountain village made of wood and stone buildings, and a group of skinny... vampires?
