Chapter 12: The Carnivorous Mother-in-law and the Temple of the Faceless

"The fox demon you chose doesn't seem to be willing to help you collect other fragments and retrieve your creator, the old man of the Yellow River?"

In the giant tower laboratory, Tang Qi was still sitting on the chair of Beckfast, the two pages of the withered yellow fragment were floating in the air, and the old servant's face was still flickering, but Hu Zu was no longer on the ground.

His Royal Highness, the prince from the "Zuqiu Fox Clan", has been sent back to the unnamed village camp by Tang Qi.

At this time, it was already early in the morning in the camp, about six o'clock, and there should have been some light elsewhere, but in the anomalous area of the dragon's nest, most of the day was in a gray, dark and dreary weather, and the number of blizzards was far more frequent than in other areas of the snowfield.

However, it did not prevent Vladimir, the demigod general, from waking up all the temporary investigators in a hurry and announcing that all personnel were on duty.

In addition to "Hu Zu" who was held in the arms of the Ice Witch, Tang Wang and Diana, a father and daughter, were also there, but they were no longer real bodies, but "tool people" who would not be recognized.

After yesterday, both Tang Qi and Diana lost interest in those areas that were polluted by the divine power of flesh and blood.

Especially Diana, as a young goddess who has the ability to purify all filth and plague, can stay in that foul environment for most of the day, just to play with her father.

His Father, who gave Olga all the right to experience, returned to the kingdom to communicate with the "Old Servant of the Yellow".

When the withered yellow face heard this, it flickered for half a second, and after the vicissitudes of life, an incomparably gentle voice sounded:

"Respected true god, I have made a choice after I woke up, this little fox demon was the most suitable choice at that time, he is eager to save his sister, he is eager to revive the fox clan, and he has enough motivation...... I guided him to find power, he helped me find the other scraps, and it was a deal. ”

"But as you said, his motivation will probably disappear after achieving his goal, and with his personality, he will probably deny it, or passively oppose it. ”

"You didn't make a contract with him, or did you leave some kind of counter-prohibition law?"

Tang Qi glanced at the investigation team that had already advanced towards the "core area of the dragon's nest", turned his head and asked the old servant again.

Generally, transactions involve contracts.

A transaction that does not exist is almost the same as non-existent.

Of course, there are many exceptions.

For example, the next moment, Huang Zhi's old servant's answer.

"Although I am an independent will, I still have a creator, and my mind is influenced by the 'Yellow Old Man', who is a great and benevolent sage, and most of the time he only gives and does not seek anything in return, although his giving does not always bring good results. ”

"I did the same, I guided him to flee from Zuqiu and come here to find his way to the gods, and he promised me that he would collect the other fragments...... Neither he nor I could get the results we wanted, but it just happened. ”

After hearing this, Tang Qi fell into a short silence.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "...... Trade with fate, I probably know that your creator is such a sage. ”

After speaking, Tang Qi paused, smiled more brightly, and then said:

"Outside of fate, are you interested in making a real deal, you can sign a suitable contract, of course the other party to the contract will not be me, I am very curious about the Secret Scripture of Immortality, and I also hope to communicate with an ancient sage like the old man Huang, but I have a more important itinerary. ”

"I'll pick a really suitable 'Fulfiller' for you, you give her some guidance, and she'll do her best to collect the scraps and look for clues about the old man Huang. ”

Tang Qi's words made the withered yellow face flicker and reorganize more frequently, and after a while, it froze.

The old servant obviously understood that a sister prince who longed to revive the fox clan would definitely break his past promises.

He seemed to hesitate for a second or two, and then the voice sounded again in the Dream Tower.

"Sounds like a good fit, and I'm interested, so who is the candidate?"

Tang Qi seemed to have known the old servant's answer, and did not immediately say who he would.

Instead, he pointed to the light curtain that was still "playing live", looked at the investigation team in distress as soon as he left the nameless village, and said leisurely: "At the end of this somewhat slimy and disgusting adventure, the answer will appear." ”

"It's a bit boring, hopefully there's a surprise at the end. ”

Tang Qi, whose strength had swelled to the point where he could fight with all the spirits, said a boring sentence in his mouth, but for the temporary investigation team that gathered more than 200 transcendental beings and transcendent creatures of all kinds, it was a thrilling and extremely dangerous adventure mission.

They had just left the nameless village and were no more than a few kilometers into the core when they had an accident passing through a forest.

The forest that was shrouded in ice and snow on the upper layer, but dark and cold inside, suddenly came to life after everyone entered.

In the forest, every tree and vine has turned into a terrifying creature.

Hidden by the black skin, there are wriggling flesh buds, tiny sharp teeth, and this forest is full of monsters, man-eating monsters.

To be precise, the forest itself is a filthy life unique to the Dragon's Lair region.

It was its main body, and the vines and roots of the trees were "hairs" that extended from its body, thick and deadly hairs.

In the curtain of light, a huge, fleshy figure covered in the thick hair of a living creature, with a face in the center that was so ugly that anyone would have polluted their mind when they looked at it, and she could even speak, a very old Ural dialect, hoarse and harsh, and at the same time put the investigation team in a bitter fight.

"Transcendent Creature: Carnivorous Mother-in-law, a 'weird' older than the Slavic states, she existed during the Dark Age, and every time she appeared, she was able to destroy at least several villages and towns, and even a bustling city, and the Spirits almost killed her, and at the most miserable moment, her body shrank to a bare black vine tree. ”

"The revival of the spirit tide, coupled with the flesh pollution emanating from the dragon's lair, has brought her back to the top. ”

......

In a dialect roar of "You can't kill me, my mother-in-law will come back", the flesh tree man fell.

It wasn't Vladimir who killed her, or part of it, who was killed, but the god of war mechanic called "Anna".

More than 200 temporary investigators have seen an incomparably strong profession for the first time.

The actual gunfire washed the floor, almost completely grinding the area, and the hair and flesh eventually mixed together to become minced meat.

However, the comfort brought by such a strong man to the investigation team only lasted for ten minutes.

Under the pressure of the bounty mission, the investigation team headed towards the core area, and after crossing the node of "Flesh-eating Mother-in-law", they seemed to be completely out of the periphery, and one after another, only the dragon's lair area of flesh monsters, xenomorphic monsters and strange frenzy poured up.

The huge investigation team, the smell of fresh flesh and blood they exuded, could not be concealed in the anomalous area at all, and they began to break through.

The sheer number of monsters is enough for a beginner to be promoted to an expert in "flesh and blood" after experience.

"Matryoshka dolls: A group of 'snowmen' distributed in a flat area, with a normal surface of snow, but at a depth of two centimeters, skinless flesh and blood, numbering seven, will attack en masse upon detecting an intruder. ”

"Strangely, after seven, seven more snowmen will be born in the same place, and they will continue to attack and kill the invaders...... In a short period of time, the team encounters an army of snowmen. ”

Eventually, the army was destroyed at the hands of Vladimir, and the demigods broke into the nesting doll itself, destroying seven snowmen and successfully cracking the anomaly. ”

"The anomaly resulted in the death of three investigators, and their bodies have been contained. ”

......

"Bloodthirsty Birds: A giant bird with a thousand mouths, thousands of claws, and thousands of wings...... Flying in a way that violates fundamental laws, the speed is approximately comparable to that of a small aircraft. ”

"In addition to the usual attacks of most ferocious birds, the ensemble can also emit highly polluting noise and strongly corrosive and toxic bird droppings. ”

"Eventually, it died from Anna's 'anti-aircraft weapon', which caused the deaths of two investigators in a way that was drowned in guano and the remains could not be contained. ”

......

"Lonely Aid Station: A simple aid station established by the Slavic states during the period of the spiritual break, there is an old man in the station, he surprisingly keeps his senses, he claims to be a retired soldier, has extremely high wilderness survival skills, and likes solitude, so he always lives alone in the aid station. ”

"He was communicative and friendly, and he even offered to treat all the investigators to a lunch of canned beef dated 'November 3rd', and everything was fine until Vladimir opened the can and saw the human tongue, teeth, and hair inside. ”

The old man went mad, and he turned into a bloody shadow and attacked Vladimir with a sinister smile, while the entire aid station also turned into a flesh cave, spewing out stun-inducing gases and hallucinating...... All of this was resolved five seconds later by Vladimir, who was highly skilled in flesh magic. ”

"The old man briefly recovered before he was killed, he was indeed the stationmaster of the aid station, he was controlled by the dragon's nest soon after the revival of the spirit, he gained great power, and his hobby was making canned food. ”

He refused to give an account of the origin of the large amount of meat in the canned food he made, and Vladimir believed that he had a certain ego that allowed him to leave the Dragon's Lair and go hunting in the territory of the state. ”

The eccentricity did not cause the investigator to die, except for a handful of people who vomited excessively and became weak. ”

......

"Temple of the Faceless: A primitive temple built by the ancient Urals, dedicated to the 'Faceless God' sought by the natives of the Urals, the temple has been abandoned, there is no trace of life, the investigation team stayed in the temple for a short time, and no anomalies have occurred. ”

"The accident first appeared, and as the team was about to leave the temple, about one-tenth of the lower-ranking transcendent investigators suddenly ignored the order and cut off their faces with both hands in the temple clearing, and they fell into a state of serious injury in an instant...... The infection continued, and more than a dozen people could not resist the contamination and repeated the action...... Infection persists ......"

"Vladimir and Anna have their own actions, and each investigator has used different supernatural powers to resist the pollution, but the effect is not good, and the pollution continues. ”

"At Vladimir's suggestion, the red-lipped old woman secretly prayed with a few half-dragon warlocks, and the telepathic influence from 'Abel' dissipated the temple contamination after more than ten seconds. ”

The anomaly resulted in the death of ten investigators, the bodies were recovered, and the remaining seriously injured were cured by the Red Square Special Curious Object. ”
