Chapter 317: Side Effects
According to the explanation of the burning direction, the relic actually has side effects when it has a powerful and strange ability.
The first type of relic is probably made by humans, and it does not have side effects, so as long as there is no permission to verify it, adventurers can use it with confidence. But the first type of relic that does not have permission to verify is very rare, and it is difficult for adventurers to obtain, and it is almost negligible.
The second type of relic, that is, the items originally retained from the Xindi-36 colony, although there is no permission to verify, the side effects cannot be ignored.
In order to prevent the side effects of relics from causing harm, the importance of the Association of Four is reflected here, all found relics must be registered, and after testing, according to the size of the side effects, whether they can be used or not.
If the side effects are too strong, they cannot be used and must be sealed.
Ran Xiang said with a complicated mood: "The side effects of many relics are difficult to tell clearly, for example, the side effects of some relics are that they will reduce people's life expectancy, and they will also make people around them suffer from various diseases, and no matter what kind of side effects, they all have a common side effect, but the intensity is different...... That is, it will make people's minds gradually crazy. ”
Burning Xiang's words, somehow, reminded Chen Shi of the Makuzhi he encountered before, which was the first living adventurer he had met, and he was also the object of a very bad impression.
He suddenly realized, could it be that Makuji became so crazy because he was affected by his own relics? Its relics were indeed very strong, which made Chen Shi a little helpless for a while, and in the end, he didn't know what the relics of the Makuzhi looked like.
"What do you think...... The disappearance of the villagers is because the adventurer was affected by the relics? ”
Chen Shi asked.
"That's the only way to do it...... Otherwise it can't be explained. The problem is that this has hardly ever happened before. All the relics have been tested, and those that affect people's minds in particular will not be used no matter how powerful they are. ”
Ran Xiang frowned, and the cracks in the center of his eyebrows were tightly closed: "This matter must be reported." ”
That's because you're short-sighted.
Chen Shi secretly thought that the relics of the shogunate branch were probably not registered, but obtained after it went down.
"Could it be that some adventurers have taken the relics they got in the Ruined City to the ground without permission?"
"Impossible, there is a relic that is extremely powerful, it can register the rest of the relics, as long as it has not been registered, once it is taken out of the ruined capital, it will cause an alarm and mark the place."
"That'...... Maybe this relic won't be flagged and alarmed? ”
Chen Shi asked.
"How is that possible?" Ran subconsciously retorted, but it quickly reacted, looked at Chen Shi and said, "Yes, how did I forget." ”
The battle clothes on Chen Shi and the girl are obviously a kind of relic, and they didn't cause any alarm when they came up, otherwise when they came up, they would have been surrounded, where could they go?
Such an obvious problem, it has been ignored!
So, did Lord True Shadow already know? Didn't remind it of it as a matter of attention?
Chen Shi looked at Burning Xiang's reaction and understood, probably the first kind of relic was too few and too few, so the truth that the first kind of relic would not cause an alarm was not known to most adventurers at all. The thing that can mark the location of the relic belongs to the extraterrestrial life of the Xindi-36 colony, so naturally it will not be marked as an item made by humans.
"Could it be that some relics really won't be marked?"
Ran Xiang couldn't believe it, but the facts were in front of him, so he couldn't believe it.
"Well, it's probably true that those relics with no side effects won't be labeled, as you might think."
"But if there are no side effects, why does it attack us like it's losing its mind? And the villagers are ......."
Ran Xiang shook his head: "It can't be sent by the Association of Four, it's one thing for the adventurers of the Association of Four to hunt us down, but if they are allowed to attack ordinary villagers, even if it is ordered by the Association of Four, all adventurers in their right mind will not agree." ”
"Anyway, don't worry about it, it's really attacking us."
Attacking me with a human weapon...... It's a dog.
Chen Shi was depressed, forget it, the invisible enemy is the most terrifying, "Let's go back the same way and find another way out." ”
"Chen, what the hell is going on?"
When Chen Shi and Ran Xiang fell silent for a while, Xingdian and the others in the carriage asked worriedly, probably because of Chen Shi and Ran Xiang's crazy escape back before, so they couldn't interject for a while, and they only had time to ask at this moment.
"In a word, it can be explained, there is an invisible enemy inside, and if you can't beat it, you can only escape."
Chen Shi's tone was very bad: "I still have to pray that the invisible enemy is not fast and can't catch up with us." ”
Ran Xiang was a little embarrassed, in fact, when he went to the village before, he still insisted on his own opinion, but it really happened, and in the end he could only flee in embarrassment, how could he not be embarrassed.
There was nothing to say all the way, the insect car ran wildly for a long time, almost returned to the place where he rested last night, and Ran Xiang pointed to a road again, but this road was not the main road, almost a crater, and the bumpy road was in addition to the insects that pulled the car, and the people in the carriage were still tossing.
It didn't take long for Xingdian and Bingyu to vomit out.
Ran Xiang was also very worried, worried that this dilapidated road would damage the insect car, otherwise it would have chosen this more hidden road a long time ago.
"You're right to be worried, this car may not last long."
Chen Shi saw Ran Xiang's unspoken look.
Sure enough, as Chen Shi said, when the insect cart struggled over the first mountain, as the night fell, the storm accompanied the arrival of lightning, and suddenly there was a bump, and the insect screamed and fell to the cliff next to the road.
"Click."
The carriage got stuck on a tree trunk on the side of the road, and held out for a while, giving everyone in the carriage time to salvage the things, but in the end, the powerless carriage cracked, and Gollum fell into the black cliff with the bugs.
Under the invasion of the torrential rain, it only took a while, except for Chen Shi and the girl, who were not afraid of the rain, the rest of them were soaked.
The wind was especially rampant on the mountainside, whistling and fierce, and the width of the road was less than three meters, so everyone could be swept under the cliff by the wind and rain at any time, and the situation was imminent.
Chen Shi worked hard to dig a pit in the cliff, but at this moment, a translucent shadow gradually approached.
