Chapter 32: Monsters from Cthulhu
"Really......"
Admiring the tentacle monster that ignores the laws of physics and is climbing out of the wall as a door, huh...... Should it be called "crawling"?
Shen Yan felt a little speechless.
Like the "bet" he had just said, he meant it - because until that second, he wasn't sure he was in that hardcore game, until this creeper appeared.
Pulling the fate line across this kind of thing, it seems that no one has ever done this in history. Therefore, if nothing else, when Shen Yan was doing this crossing, there must be half a dozen bigwigs around silently watching! You know, because they are so big, jumping into the river of fate will only block the river, it's too embarrassing.
Therefore, in order for Shen Yan's experiment to succeed and allow them to observe the results of the experiment smoothly, Shen Yan must have secretly added a lot of blessings and luck to Shen Yan's body, and there must be a share of his own mother - there is no need to guess, because if Shen Yan is in the position of the big guy, he will do the same!
But out of consideration for the risk, Shen Yan still chose a world that looked similar to the game.
First of all, of course, because Shen Yan is most familiar with the game, this game has a simple background, the plot is bloody, it belongs to a game where you can know who is the big boss behind the scenes with your eyes closed, and the overall strength of the monster is average; Secondly, because the world view of this story is very narrow, and the plot is all confined to a small town and a castle, which helps Shen Yan to control the situation and hold the whole audience in case the plot goes berserk......
But even after preparing so much, Shen Yan didn't expect that what he entered was really that story!
Looking at Crawl, for a moment, he had the feeling that he was also in someone else's story.
*****
The Creeper is a great mini-boss in the game, and the team will randomly encounter a strange tree-shaped altar in the maze, which can be led out with torches.
Creeper ...... It is said that Shen Yan has slaughtered hundreds of them in the game, but what is its scientific name?! Of course, the reptile monster is very different from what it looks in the game, it is not tall, only seven or eight meters...... But it's super huge! It's also super meaty! It looks like a lump of flesh covered with tentacles.
After it crawled out, its body almost filled half of the hall, and the fleshy tentacles flew out of the way and seemed to have little power, but as long as the living dead were drawn by the tentacles, they were all half cut off......
The most interesting thing is that with the appearance of the reptilian monsters, suddenly there are two dozen undead creatures who change their behavior patterns - they do not stay in the hall stupidly, but accelerate out of the monster herd and run towards the passage behind the hall in a swarm!
"Made, it's right not to mess with these monsters!" Shen Yan wiped his cold sweat and quietly gave himself a thumbs up.
In addition to those miscellaneous soldiers who only have instinct left, there are obviously many elite monsters with higher intelligence mixed with the living dead! If it's just a scuffle, you're going to be overshadowed by these monsters that can't be seen from the outside!
Shen Yan admired the creeping "heroic posture" of the reptilian monster with relish - it may be that the place of the gods died was brushed too much, and even his aesthetics were distorted.
I don't know when Shen Yan began to like to see this strange monster.
- Pure appreciation, anyway, he feels that he can deal with it, this kind of huge monster he slaughtered in the world of the gods and deaths, not ten thousand, but eight thousand! And the climb is just passing in the beauty of the form...... Don't talk about big monsters, he's seen them all!
It's just a tentacle monster that looks average.
Shen Yan was still stopped in front of the door, naturally not afraid of being crawled out and hurting Catherine.
But he ignored that the background of the dark game was a reference to a part of the Cthulhu worldview - and all Cthulhu monsters must be mentally polluted!
*****
Shen Yan couldn't feel it, because he had killed too many monsters like him...... At first, Shen Yan also felt scared, but after walking countless times from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, he became completely insensitive! What is Mental Pollution? Can it be exchanged for money? If Shen Yan's traits can be displayed digitally, he will definitely have a dozen buffs such as "Giant Slayer", "Immune Deterrence", "Demon Slayer", and "End Fear".
He didn't feel it, but others couldn't.
I didn't look at Andre and the tomb robbers, obviously in terms of strength, even if they couldn't kill this climber, they could hold on for a while. But since the appearance of the creeping monsters, they have been like crazy, dropping their weapons and running around like headless flies!
Crawling absorbs the light around them, and seems to suck away their sanity.
Fortunately, those living dead with a little bit of intelligence are also affected by crawling like them, and they are rushing around, and Andre and the others are miraculously not dead yet...... There was a two-handed sword warrior who was unlucky, and hit the crawler headlong, and then the whole person withered like the wind, and in a moment it turned into a dry corpse.
Catherine was similarly affected - when the crawl began to appear, it was as if she was in a nightmare!
In her eyes, everything around her has lost its meaning, and only a monster that appears in nightmares, ugly to the extreme, crazy to the extreme, crawls towards her! The monster stretched out its jungle-like tentacles, which were covered in blood and filth, and the stench of evil seemed to hold her in place......
Unlike Andre and the others, the instinct of the half-hung mage still made Catherine contract her spirit violently at the last moment, and built a defense in the spirit world that was not stable, she was not the main target of climbing, and barely withstood the impact of spiritual pollution!
But her body was frozen, and she wanted to move, but she couldn't move a finger!
Nor can it make a sound.
Looking at Shen Yan's back, which seemed to be also fixed, Catherine shouted anxiously in her heart. "Run...... Shen Yan, run! She didn't know that someone was admiring the beauty of the tentacle monsters......
Shen Yan's posture standing at the gate is so eye-catching, it is difficult for people not to pay attention. Crawling has also been paying attention to him, and took the initiative to attack Shen Yan with spiritual pollution. But all the while, its mental impact was like slapping an unconscious stone, and it didn't get any effect or response...... But it's clearly a creature!
Especially the look in the eyes of the person looking at it with great interest, which made Crawl a little scared...... Crawl now want to climb back.
*****
Shen Yan was checking his eyes with Crawl, but Catherine didn't know!
Her consciousness gradually returned to the real world, and she saw the scene in front of her that made her extremely frightened - Shen Yan was "shocked" at the door, and the terrifying tentacle monster was only a few steps away from him! Great fear and anxiety hit Catherine, and she felt a string snap in her head!
As if a punctuated water bladder, a steady stream of magic surged out from the depths of the spiritual world, breaking through the shackles on her body that bound her ears one by one!
didn't care at all that she had just enjoyed the "protagonist treatment" of a breakthrough, Catherine rushed forward as soon as she could act, and threw herself on Shen Yan's back. "Shen Yan, wake up! Brace oneself! Catherine hugged him tightly from behind, her voice sounding distorted. We...... Run! Her arms couldn't use any strength at all, and her body was still shaking, but Catherine still gritted her teeth and wanted to drag Shen Yan out.
"Wait a minute, Catherine, I'm fine." As soon as Shen Yan saw Catherine's haggard appearance, he immediately thought of the cause and effect, and he couldn't tell the blame in his heart. "I'm sorry ......"
Shen Yan sighed softly when he took out a green bead, even if he could hide it before, his wife must know it now...... Forget it, just break a leg. "Adhesion," he said, a faint flash of magic flashing as he stuck the green bead to the center of Catherine's brow. Pure natural energy poured into Catherine's mind, and those spiritual impurities were expelled like ice and snow melting, and even the spirit she had overconsumed due to the breakthrough slowly made up for it with nourishment.
Catherine only felt that her mind was clear, and the headache and murmur just now were driven out of her mind, and the whole person seemed to be as comfortable as flying.
"What's going on? Why are you ......" Catherine was completely stunned by Shen Yan.
Shen Yan looked at it, he had to shake the pot at this time!
He turned to crawl towards the doctor who was about to flee and roared, "Bah! Where are you going! Scared my lovely Catherine...... Eat me Big Avada Destiny Technique! ”
A green light of "Dissociation" flew towards the crawler that was burrowing into the wall!
To say that the IQ of Crawling is not low, as soon as it looks back and sees the green light, its heart is trembling! Sure enough, the hunch just now was not wrong, high-level mage! This is a character I can't afford to mess with!
But the dissociation technique is the dissociation technique, what the hell is the Avada Destiny Technique?
Crawl on the hind legs...... The rear tentacle kicked hard, directly cut off the tentacle, and threw it in front of the green light - only to see a sudden, the hundreds of pounds of tentacles were silently decomposed into fly ash by the green light!
Crawling has no eyes, but its whole soul can feel the horror of that green light! Trembling with fear! It's scary to crawl!
You must know that after each tentacle of the crawl is broken, it can become a small crawler, which is equivalent to a new life. Therefore, the identity of the crawler is determined and certain, the success rate of ordinary "dissociation technique" hitting it is only a quarter, and at most it creates a circular hole, and it never has such a powerful decomposition ability! That's a whole decomposition of a tentacle of hundreds of pounds!
It was extremely sure that another "dissociation technique" might still be successful, and this person's high spell immunity rate was a bit unscientific...... An unscientific Cthulhu magical creature pondered quietly.
"Still running? Run and aim at your body again! I know you understand what I'm saying! "Someone shamelessly turned the cart before the horse, and turned it into him taking the initiative to aim at the tentacles.
The actual situation is that he is only level 12 now, and he has just mastered the 6-ring magic of "Dissociation", and he has no more powerful means...... And this crawler looks like it has at least a few hundred tentacles that can die on its behalf. The reason why the difficulty of his "Dissociation Technique" exemption is so high is because of the sub-divine power used. It is estimated that it is difficult to kill this crawler with magic, and it is too tiring to get on the knife, besides...... Isn't this Catherine watching from the side, how to pretend to be forced with a knife.
Therefore, he thought it would be better to verbally intimidate him first...... Otherwise, he has been using the dissociation technique to decompose it, and with a dozen units of sub-divine power, he feels that this transaction will be a loss!
Shen Yan really didn't know if he could understand human words, but he was surprised enough by the few adventurers in front of him to speak the lingua franca...... There is another crawler who can understand people's words, and Shen Yan feels that he should go back and test his IQ...... As a result, after he finished speaking, the crawling that filled most of the hall stopped for a while, and he really shuddered and pulled out half of his body from the wall again, and honestly lay in front of Shen Yan......
There were green beads to protect her sanity, and Catherine watched the whole time.
Except for when she crawled and turned her head to climb out, Catherine tensed for a moment, and most of the rest of the time seemed to be reading mythological stories...... The mouth simply can't close.
In fact, Shen Yan is also very strange, this crawler is really obedient! It's too ...... No bosses! However, he pretended to be calm the whole time, as if he had already masturbated countless bosses like this.
Crawling is just a cricket crawling.
"Ahem...... Look at how messy this hall is! Don't go clean up yet! Those who didn't die were killed, and the corpses were piled up in front of me. And all that money, right...... It's gold and silver metal stuff, pick it up and you'll ...... Well, get out again, and you'll be able to fuck off the rest! Got it? ”
Understand? How can you not understand!
Those adventurers burrowed into its lair, looking for useless metal, and they didn't forget to hold it in their arms until they died.
Of course, with such a large size, it is impossible to do it yourself.
I saw that it trembled violently up and down, and hundreds of tentacles were broken one after another, turning into hundreds of small crawlers with the same tentacles! The little crawlers scattered in a swarm, those who picked up money picked up money, those who dragged corpses dragged corpses, and those who were diligent couldn't do it! Shengsheng made a holiday gift and worked hard!
It's Catherine who was forced into a dense phobia by a large group of small crawlers, and the small bumps on her skin were layered up.
"Hehe~ You look much more pleasing to the eye." Seeing that the tentacles were all broken and completely turned into meat balls, Shen Yan couldn't help but tease. "Come, roll around and let the uncle be happy."
Catherine's eyes widened again, to suffer! It's too much, it's too much!
You can't just play with a monster just because it's obedient, and monsters are dignified......
Grunt, grunt~ Crawling has obediently turned in a circle, it rolls from east to west, and from west to east, and is not afraid to press to a small crawl!
