Chapter 534: Jumo Island (Forty)
After his teammates finished drinking the raw goat blood, Feng Bujue picked up a kitchen knife and dismembered the goat with his skilled knife skills.
He removed the internal organs and bones, leaving large pieces of steak and lamb legs, and then divided the meat from these parts into more than ten portions, which were distributed to the three people present. He also took three of them and put them in his bag.
"Ok, let's go." After Feng Bujue finished these, he put away the kitchen knife and urged his teammates to set off again.
"I say... you have been working so non-stop... aren't you really tired?" Even Tianma Xingkong was surprised.
During the few minutes when Brother Jue was cutting meat, Brother Xiaoma and the others rested on the spot and more or less recovered some physical value. But in such a short time, the recovery obtained was very limited.
On the other hand, Jue Ge, from the moment he entered the tunnel until now, he has almost never stopped moving... leading the way in the tunnel, fighting with the Queen of Blade Butterflies, saving people from the silk net, escaping, turning back, and then leading the way again... Now, he has wrestled with such a big goat and acted as a butcher.
After doing so many things, he actually has no intention of taking a break... Anyone would find this incredible.
"It doesn't matter, I can still hold on." Feng Bujue replied lightly.
He did not give further explanation, for the same reason as before, he did not want to reveal the title ability of [Hate Attractor] in detail.
The teammates did not know... While "fighting" with the goat, Jue Ge relied on [Hate Furnace] to recover some physical strength again. Of course, the damage caused by [Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Technique-Modified] was not converted into effective "hostile damage". However, the part of the survival value loss caused by the goat has been converted into physical value according to the proportion.
Therefore, Feng Bujue's physical strength has returned to nearly 20% at this moment. As long as he grits his teeth... he can release the Nan Dou Fei Long Quan.
"You don't have to worry about this guy..." Hong Hu, who was walking at the back, said at this time. "Don't forget, when the combat power rankings still existed, this guy's ranking was on par with that [Shiva]. Even top players like [Zuiwo Changran], [Waste Uncle] and [Xiaowen Cangtian] were all ranked behind him." He paused, "For players of this level, you can't use common sense to speculate. Even if he said that he has a passive skill that can double the upper limit of physical value, I wouldn't find it strange."
"Well... I almost forgot." Atobe read, "This guy's strength is genuine..."
"Ah~ Speaking of this..." Tianma Xingkong continued weakly. "After the version update, I disappeared from the new 'Player Comprehensive Strength List'." He paused for half a second and added, "And the new list can show a full thirty places!"
"That's normal..." Honghu said with empty eyes, "Before the update, you were able to rank 20th. I think it's a miracle."
"Hmph! Yulong, you are jealous." Xiao Ma turned his thick-browed and big-eyed face to Honghu and said.
"I am jealous of your seventh uncle?" Honghu replied very unhappy. "I am telling the truth, okay? Players like you. If it's a one-on-one match, others can easily come up with ways to target you. Just find a medium-level shooting expert, formulate a good tactic, and you can be dealt with."
"I agree with this." Feng Bujue also responded, "I can pull out forty-seven strategies to kill Tianma Xingkong in a one-on-one match."
"Don't you think that what you said is not only disgusting, but also suspected of self-deprecation?" Jibe continued.
Jue ignored him. He continued, "By the way, Xiao Ma, there is something that confuses me. I want to ask you. But if it is not convenient for you, you don't have to answer." He turned his head and looked at Tianma Xingkong with a subtle look, and asked, "After getting the 'mysterious gift' of the first place in the Peak Competition, your strength should have been greatly improved, right?"
This sentence made the atmosphere among the crowd suddenly tense.
There is no doubt... this is an "overstepping" question.
Although the Peak Competition has been settled, people's speculation about the "mysterious gift" has never stopped. Including Honghu and Jibe, almost all players are extremely curious about the content of the prize...
But the problem is... the answer is unknown.
The only people who know the truth are the senior executives of Dream Company, the senior executives of Xingchen Studio, and the person involved, that is, the beneficiary of the prize-Tianma Xingkong himself.
No matter which party, they will not leak the secret. Needless to say, Dream Company... Anyone who leaks the secret may be silenced; Xingchen's senior management is also very tight-lipped. For them, the content of the "mysterious gift" is an invisible bargaining chip, and it is valuable only if it is not revealed.
So... there seems to be only one way to find out about this matter, that is to ask Xiao Ma Ge himself.
But who would ask? This kind of thing is equivalent to a commercial secret in the gaming circle. As long as the studio does not agree, Tianma Xingkong certainly has no right to disclose it. Asking him... isn't it asking too much?
"Uh... let me think..." Tianma Xingkong thought for a full minute after listening to Jue Ge's question, and then replied, "Your question seems to be nonsense? Since I have been squeezed out of the top 30 of the comprehensive strength list, my strength must not have improved much. Is there any need to ask?"
"Tch...have you been seen through..." Feng Bujue continued, "I thought you would tell me what the prize is."
"Oh~ So that's what you want to know..." Xiao Ma smiled and said, "It's okay, I can tell you."
"What!" Honghu and Jibu were both shocked, "Isn't that actually a secret?"
"Ah... how should I put it..." Brother Ma put his head on his hands and said as he walked, "I think... even if I tell you, it won't be a big problem. Of course, the studio did ask me to keep it a secret. ”
"Then it's better if you don't say anything..." Feng Bujue said, "I'm just asking casually. I don't want you to lose your job or get into a lawsuit because of this..."
"Haha... you're overthinking..." Tianma Xingkong smiled, "I belonged to the group of newcomers who were not very promising, so I signed a contract at the level of 'blue-collar players'. In my contract, There is basically no content about the 'game competition prizes', but there is an additional clause - the player has complete autonomy in distributing the prizes." He spread his hands. "Actually...even contracts prepared for star players rarely mention the need to keep the 'tournament prizes' confidential."
"That's true...Normally speaking, when game companies hold competitions, the prizes are the focus of their hype. It's rare to see them hiding things like Dream Company." Atobe continued.
"That is to say..." Honghu also added, "This part of the content is not within the protection scope of the 'confidentiality agreement'."
"Yeah." Tianma Xingkong smiled, "It's a loophole in the contract."
"But... that's not enough reason for you to tell the contents of the prize." Feng Bujue continued thoughtfully, "I've probably guessed it..." He squinted at Brother Ma, "That's The true nature of the "mysterious gift" is probably the kind of thing that "no one will believe even if we preach it everywhere."
"Haha! You are so awesome." Tianma Xingkong laughed, "Let me tell you, the prize is a one-to-one 'Pegasus Saint Cloth'!"
"Huh?" Honghu's glasses almost came off.
Atobe also had a dull look on his face: "Don't tell me...even I don't believe it."
"Hahaha..." Feng Bujue laughed and muttered something vaguely. "It varies from person to person, is it tailor-made... Humph... It really looks like that guy's style..."
"What did you say?" Tianma Xingkong thought Brother Jue was talking to him and asked immediately.
"Oh. I said..." Brother Jue said, raising his voice a little. "It really suits your style."
"That's right!" Tianma Xingkong hit the bridge of his nose and laughed, "When I heard about this, I was so happy! I was always excited when I received the express delivery. I tore up the cartons and plastic foam outside with my hands. ”
"Hmm...don't you think the value of this prize is a bit low? It's just a figurine gift, right?" Atobe thought, "leaving aside the skill value rewards. The second and third ranked [Zui] Both [Wuzhanran] and [Yama] got a piece of legendary equipment. Although they couldn't sell the bound items, but according to the market price... the current market value of the legendary equipment is at least tens of thousands. rmb.”
"How do you know it's not worth it?" Feng Bujue showed an indifferent smile. "If I were unconstrained, I would prefer to get the Holy Cloth instead of some legendary equipment." He breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky and said sadly, "You have to understand... things are worthless to a person. , may be priceless to another person.”
"Yes... the treasures in the game are virtual after all. One day, Thriller Park will be shut down like other games, and everything here will come to an end..." Honghu continued, "And the souvenirs in reality , but it can be preserved.”
"Hey...why are you acting like I've been tricked?" Tianma Xingkong interrupted, "The letter that Dream Company sent me along with the prize said that this set of holy robes is worth ten boxes of four drachmas. ' (a silver coin circulating in ancient Greece)!"
"Haha... what kind of currency is that..." Honghu said with a smile, "It's actually still measured in 'boxes', which is similar to Vietnamese dong, right?"
Atobe also said: "The party giving out prizes must have exaggerated their value."
"No, no, I think it's pretty reliable." Tianma Xingkong defended, "I tried it on... the workmanship of the holy robe is really exquisite. Although it is heavy, you can move freely after wearing it, and it's not uncomfortable at all. "The carvings on the outside of the holy garment are also very delicate, with no scratches on the surface and a faint reflection." He paused, "Well... and... when I put it on, I feel that power is constantly flowing out of my body..." "
The more Feng Bujue listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He already had a very bad hypothesis in his mind, "Let me ask...when you tried on that, did you try to attack the wall or release the Pegasus Meteor Fist?" What……"
"Ah? No." Xiao Ma replied, "It's not in a game. Who would do that kind of thing in reality? Are you a primary school student?"
"You are the least qualified person to say this..." Feng Bujue curled his lips.
The four of them were talking all the way, but their pace was not slow at all. In fact, under Brother Jue's conscious guidance, their walking speed even sped up.
Because they had just replenished water, their "thirst" feeling had basically disappeared. The consumption of physical energy values also tends to be normal. In this state, their physical fitness will slowly recover even while walking.
Feng Bujue had naturally noticed this a long time ago, and he quickly came to the conclusion... In this script, as long as "not hungry or thirsty", the loss of physical energy points is the normal rate. As for "fatigue", it is only a physical feeling that appears when physical fitness is low, and can be relieved by a little rest.
Of course, there is another factor that needs to be considered, which is "temperature".
At this point. There is no need to worry yet. The temperature in Crystal Mystery is cold, about ten degrees. This temperature will not bring any negative effects. Anyway, it is definitely more comfortable than below zero or above thirty degrees.
…………
After walking for a while, everyone's physical fitness has returned to more than 20%. And at this moment. They are not far away from "Fear Leaf".
"Honghu." Feng Bujue seemed to have noticed something, and he suddenly stopped. Look ahead alertly. And said, "Can your infrared lamp still work?"
When Honghu heard this, he didn't hesitate and took out the oval-shaped metal lamp from his luggage. He stepped forward and said, "The power is still about half." He said. He had turned on the infrared light.
In an instant, a large ring-shaped area around him was illuminated by red rays. All the silk screens within this range are also visible...
Everyone looked up and saw it was five or six meters ahead. It is a "silk wall".
"Ha... you guessed it right." Feng Bujue said, "Like the previous leech, these threads can also be illuminated by infrared rays."
"I said...how did you know there was a silk screen in front of you?" Honghu looked at Brother Jue and asked doubtfully, "You have been walking very fast along the way, but as soon as you get here, you asked me to turn on the infrared?"
"Observe carefully, you can find some patterns..." Feng Bujue raised his finger and pointed upward, "90% of the crystal pillars in the puzzle are more than twelve meters high, but few are more than fifteen meters high. And the silkworm mother paved the way The average height of the silk screen is over ten meters." He pointed to the one next to him casually, "Take ten meters as the boundary...turn off the infrared rays and look at the bonding part between the silk and the crystal."
Hearing this, Honghu turned off the infrared lamp, looked at it intently for a while, and then asked: "The surface of the crystal is a bit blurry?"
"That's right." Feng Bujue continued, "The principle is just like you use transparent glue to paint a line on the surface of the light bulb."
"Well...if these crystal pillars don't emit light themselves, they probably won't be visible at all." Atobe on the side also added.
"Okay, turn on the light." Feng Bujue said to Honghu. He then turned to look at Aibu, "Aibu, open the way with your fan."
In less than ten seconds, the two men were ready. One held a lamp and the other picked up a large fan and began to clear the obstacles ahead.
"I hate being ordered around..." Honghu said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Oh... Unknowingly, it was that guy giving orders again..." Atobe continued.
"What are you talking about!" Feng Bujue shouted after them, "It's not okay for companions to blame each other! Have you forgotten what Walker said before he died before leaving the army?"
"He didn't say anything and he was chopped into pieces by you!" Atobe yelled.
"If I have to add lines, it's just..." Honghu muttered, "I really don't taste good...Ya Zhudie..."
While talking, Atobu had already swept away several pieces of silk screen. Once those nets fall to the ground, they lose their threat and the path becomes passable.
The four of them continued walking like this and entered an area covered by a thick pink-white substance. The crystal pillars here are higher and denser than elsewhere. The path on the ground becomes very narrow and there are many forks. It feels like walking into an insect's nest.
"We're almost there..." Honghu glanced around vigilantly and said, "I think... we'd better formulate a battle plan first. Although our current physical condition is better than when we first came out of the tunnel, we still have to win. That boss still feels terrible.”
"Well, that caterpillar is indeed very powerful." Tianma Xingkong continued, "It was hit by my meteor fist, but it was almost unscathed."
"I say, Emperor of Natural Sciences." Aibu waved his fan to clear the way and turned to Brother Jue, "You should know what silkworms are afraid of, right?"
"The air-conditioning blows, the scorching sun, the water, fire, spices..." Feng Bujue immediately summed up the twelve words simply, and then poured a basin of cold water on his teammates, "Actually, silkworms are a very fragile animal. It's a pity that The thing is...even if Silkworm Mother does have such weaknesses, we can't find a breakthrough because she is too big in proportion...unless one of us can use Daiguren Hyōrinmaru. A unique skill, otherwise she wouldn’t even feel it.”
Unexpectedly... before he finished speaking, Atobu immediately said: "You told me earlier, I can do it.".
"Ah?" Feng Bujue was stunned again. This was Atobu's second surprising reply after the one in the corridor.
Honghu and Tianma Xingkong seemed quite calm, and their attitude was still: "Atobe, you are really powerful, you are worthy of being the boss of the Ice Emperor."
"Um... do you really have a big move of that level?" Feng Bujue still couldn't believe it, so he confirmed it again.
"Don't worry, it's a perfect ultimate move." Atobe didn't mind saying the name of the skill, because it was a one-time consumable skill, "The legendary [Ice Wheel Slashing Mirror Tianchang], the name sounds very powerful, right!" (To be continued...)
