Stray Chapter 156: Get out of the way, I’m going to make a difference!
When did it start?
Xia Ran can't be sure, after all, Xiao Zuo doesn't like talking and talking, and he also doesn't like talking to himself with his left hand, although he just doesn't like it, not hate it.
But if it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't have any words to talk to his left hand.
So many times, Xiao Zuo is dormant silently, with no sense of existence... Unless it is in a situation that requires it to fight, otherwise, it is really no different from Xia Ran's left hand.
However, just when she was in distress before, Xia Ran found that Xiao Zuo didn't react at all...
It's not that he suspects anything. After all, Xiao Zuo has no reason to fight against each other at a critical moment. If there is a problem with Xia Ran, the left hand can't be immune. The parasitic beast is a very rational creature——
Should understand this very well.
Then the question arises, what is the reason? Is it because of the structure of the world? After all, this is a plane different from the earth. Perhaps the foundation of the world has changed. This is an exotic physical rule that subverts common sense.
So after entering this quest world, the parasitic beast was influenced and suppressed in some way?
Xia Ran doesn't quite understand it, but thinks it's unlikely this is the reason, because there is a "compatibility patch" on the lost person.
Speaking of this, it seems that this situation is not a problem that has only occurred in the past few days, but has already been foreshadowed. After trying hard to recall, he even found that when he could go back to the previous world, it should start after he strengthened his spiritual attributes to 39 points.
Wait, isn't that what "absolute dominance" is all about?
He seemed to have remembered some key clue, and stood in a daze for a while. But at this moment, the five fingers of his left hand slowly stretched out, an eyeball appeared on the index finger and **** respectively, and a crack was also split in the center of the palm.
"...Xia Ran..."
The recovered youth looked at his left hand, and then looked behind him. Although he could no longer see anyone, he could only hear a faint voice coming from there.
But after thinking about it, he continued to walk forward quickly.
At the same time, he was using the power of his own mental thoughts to directly connect with the independent conscious response on his left arm.
"What the **** happened to you just now? Is it because it's too cold, so you're going to hibernate?"
"I don't need to hibernate..."
"What's the reason for that? You haven't responded before." It's good that there is no problem. Xia Ran's heart is a little more relaxed, but she still asks with some doubts, after all, this situation is a bit abnormal.
“…”
“…”
"...I seem to be... dreaming."
……
……
The depths of the cave are more tortuous.
And it really seems to be the lair of some kind of beast. Xia Ran found a lot of animal skeletons in the depths. Some of them even looked like human corpses, but the number was relatively small, and it seemed like a long time ago.
This is also a very normal thing. This kind of place where birds don't **** is inaccessible all year round. If it is not necessary, it is impossible for normal people to come to this place...
Regardless of their origins, or whatever specific reasons these people have, they've been dead for a long time. And there was nothing left. Xia Ran only picked up a few gold coins that were barely recognizable. Although there were a few books next to them, they were completely rotten.
If you want to turn a page, you can tear it off, and it is completely unclear what is written on it.
He wasn't too disappointed. After all, he didn't know what those books were about. If he knew it was some advanced spell books, he would feel heartache because he couldn't get it, but now He couldn't even tell if they had any value, so naturally he wouldn't feel anything.
Next, he asked the dog to carefully search the depths of the cave to confirm that there was no danger.
Although this is a beast's lair, the beast is not in the lair. Maybe it just went out to forage before... But it is estimated that it will not survive. Anyway, the result is the same, dying under the big avalanche outside. , and can leave a whole body.
If it were left in the cave, it would probably be cooked on the fire now. Although the lost are not picky, but if they have a choice, who would like to eat those dry energy bars that taste like chewing wax!
I tried to cast a certain summoning spell on some corpses, but could not wake up these completely decayed corpses. Xia Ran was a little disappointed. It seemed that he could only revive zombies, but there was no way to revive skeletons...
Sure enough, is there a limit to spells?
Glancing at his left hand, Xia Ran didn't bother anymore, turned around and went back. What was the reason for the change in his left hand, he could not be sure for the time being, and he did not return to the white space, and he could not get the most authoritative answer.
But... there shouldn't be a problem, right?
Perhaps this uncontrollable deep slumber is caused by deep evolution? After all, it has been strengthened twice, and it is not so much a strengthening as an evolutionary mutation at the genetic level.
Because it's not a simple addition——
For the first time, it fused with another parasitic beast larva, and fundamentally obtained the power of two parasitic beasts. Its other kind increases its power, but cooperates with each other, that is, in the form of 1+1, but it has completely transformed itself into the result of that equation.
The second time is the fusion of the genetic sequence of the storm demon. After all, the degree of fit between the two species is really too high, and there will not be any obvious conflicts, such as vampires strengthening the Holy Light or something.
In other words, the first strengthening allowed the left hand to break through the limitations of parasitic beasts, and the second strengthening allowed the left hand to gain possibilities beyond the parasitic beast species.
This should be considered evolution, right?
"Did you find anything?" Luoli, one meter four, seemed to have contacted his teammates, and his mood improved a lot. After seeing Xia Ran back, he asked casually, and at the same time, he looked at the man behind him with a cold and arrogant expression. Ghost Wolf Familiar.
This is the reason why she can rest assured that the other party will go to the depths of the cave alone. One is that she does not sense too dangerous aura, and the other is that this guy seems to be higher than the "cute new" level she imagined. A lot of them, although they took the legal route from the beginning, it was not a drag.
For example, for the newcomers around, how many people can win this magical pet alone is still a question.
They can't even win a summoned wolf... Well, then again, this thing should be a wolf, right?
"It's nothing, I just found a few gold coins..." Xia Ran didn't hide it, and took the initiative to reveal her private space, saying that she didn't hide anything.
Everyone looked at them and felt relieved, although they didn't think they were so lucky - if they were really lucky, they wouldn't run into a giant dragon as soon as they came in - just find one The caves can be lucky enough to win the jackpot.
It is impossible that there is a treasure in it, or that there is a great magician who is about to pass away, but suffers from the fact that no one inherits his lifelong cultivation. , so the other party casts the technique of empowerment...
Well, I always feel that this style of painting is a bit nondescript, but it's good to understand the meaning.
By the way, that violent luoli happened to have really practiced a peerless skill. Maybe behind her, many heroes of the valley have already fallen, or she is very familiar with this kind of thing.
"Did you just think something rude?"
One meter four Luoli suddenly felt a chill, and subconsciously locked the source of malice.
"...Huh? You're thinking too much." Xia Ran, who was thinking about it, was interrupted and gave her a condescending look before speaking slowly.
"What kind of eyes are you looking at! How dare you look down on my height!?"
However, the one-meter-four luoli suddenly burst into anger, and almost wanted to rush over and hit him directly.
There is no doubt that she made up something on her own...
"..." Xia Ran was silent for a while, sighed long, and wisely chose to shut up.
However, the 1.4-meter Luoli was even more angry, and he didn't even have an explanation. The guy's eyes just now were really mocking his height!
……
……
Because teammates couldn't hurt each other, Xia Ran was not jumped up by Xiao Luoli and kicked her knee.
And also because of the hard work of a group of melee fighters, and because Xia Ran simply let the ghost wolf go up and dig hard, a path was quickly opened up... But the magic pet digs the soil and throws it especially Huan, fast and good, made Xia Ran very worried.
The group reappeared on the white snow, only to see that the mountains were in a mess, and some of the vegetation that could still be seen before had been completely engulfed. I sincerely felt the violent power of nature.
The snowstorm has stopped, but it's already night.
The group discussed it and decided to go to the top of the mountain, because they had to meet the people who had been scattered before. Moreover, Xia Ran put forward the opinion that there may be a dragon language wall on the top of the mountain, and remembered the word about the power of "Dragon Roar".
Anyway, the giant dragon has already flown away. Although it may come back, at least it is not on the mountain now. This is just an opportunity. If we don't take advantage of this time to go up the mountain to have a look, do we have to wait for it to come back? come over?
There is a saying that birds die for wealth, and everyone feels that this possibility should not be missed, and it is completely worth the risk.
In addition to the difficult trek along the way, there was no more danger, and everyone finally reached the area close to the peak.
They found that they had come to the right. A stone wall that was obviously a man-made building appeared in front of them. Although there was only a solitary stone wall, it inexplicably gave people a sense of history and grandeur.
The stone wall is dark and seems to be filled with some kind of omen. There are some runes on the surface, ancient and mysterious, and no one can explain their meaning.
The most important thing is that the shape of the writing is very similar to the various scratches caused by claws. Everyone stopped in front of them, subconsciously thinking of the scenes of the giant dragon carving the symbol on the stone with its mighty and sharp claws.
"It's really a dragon wall, great...but why didn't I learn the relevant dragon roar?"
A young man stretched out his hand and stroked the writing on it, and said excitedly and doubtfully.
——Doesn't the game automatically learn skills by looking at the wall?
"Are you a dragonborn? Or do you know the language of giant dragons? You can't even read them, so naturally it's impossible to directly learn the dragon's roar..." Someone glanced at him and said angrily.
"If you want to learn dragon roar, you must first memorize these words, then find a way to understand their meaning and pronunciation, trigger learning conditions, and then pay the corresponding karma crystal to learn dragon roar..."
One meter four luoli took out the communicator and explained while contacting his teammates.
"Of course, if you don't have crystals or are unwilling to pay, you can also find a way to learn by yourself. For example, when it comes to the monastery of the High Roar Peak in the throat of the world, the gray beard there can teach the dragon's roar. Some people have already succeeded..."
Everyone immediately understood what they were going to do, so they hurried to work.
"Aren't you a magician? Dragon roar is also equivalent to dragon language magic, so you're not interested?" One meter four Luoli pouted, and then happened to see a guy circling around the stone wall, not knowing that he was investigating what.
"This is not urgent..." Xia Ran said casually, and by the way instructed the dog to dig through the snow on the ground, slowly revealing the patterned slate below.
"No hurry? That dragon will come back..."
"Hey! Don't be a crow, what should I do when it really comes back..." Xia Ran waved her hand with a sullen face and looked at her with disgust.
"It's you, not me..." Luoli gritted his teeth, but he also noticed the slate exposed on the ground, "What are these things, have you found any clues?"
"Isn't it obvious, there seems to be a tomb underneath... Speaking of which, who would be buried in such a place!" Xia Ran stared at the outline of the coffin that was slowly exposed in the depths of the snow. Said thoughtfully. "Could it be a dragon sacrifice?"
“…”
“…”
The scene was suddenly silent, and everyone heard some kind of strange sound coming from the depths of the ground under their feet. It was a kind of clucking sound, which came from the coffin that had just revealed its outline.
It seems like...something rests in a deep tomb and is now returning to the world.
