Chapter 301: Lava
"It's dead. ”
This time, it was "Shijo Er" who went up to check in person, and he even gave the old patriarch an extra sword, convinced that the other party was really a corpse.
Xu Jia took another look, there was a wound on the old patriarch's arm, but there was no blood flowing out, according to the time calculation, it was likely that he had emptied the blood himself.
Perhaps the final design of Xiaopan Island needs the blood of the patriarch to open...... This shows that the Xiaopandao civilization had a period of glory in ancient times.
Otherwise, such a device could not have been designed by these natives who did not even have words.
But now thinking that these are useless, Xu Jia's eyes began to sweep around, and sure enough, he saw a few pages of bamboo books on the stone table next to him, on which in addition to the lingua franca, there were some strange patterns.
Xu Jia's gaze swept over the lingua franca, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
Described above are a variety of herbs and ingredients, which are the recipes and production methods of secret medicines!
At the same time, the strange patterns next to it are actually pictograms, most of which are the physical appearance corresponding to these materials.
The natives are unable to understand the lingua franca and can only memorize and pass on the materials needed in the recipe in this way.
Perhaps many years ago, the outsiders who came to Xiaopan Island with these materials and recipes taught the content of the recipe to the natives, but they were not taught the words.
"That's it. Xu Jia casually threw the paper to "Shijo Er" and others, but this time he didn't mean to swallow it alone.
Although judging from the current situation, Xu Jia has no problem killing all the players on the scene, but it is too inconsistent with the identity of the NPC.
It's nothing for an NPC to betray a player, but if it's linked to a quest, it looks like the system is also helping NPCs trap people.
The players finally completed the task, but not only were the task rewards repented by the NPCs and could not get them, but they were also slaughtered by the NPCs, and they couldn't stand this kind of thing.
If overexposure results in a large-scale event, the fact that NPCs are not controlled by the system can easily be seen.
After all, if NPCs could control it, the game would never have been designed like this.
So Xu Jia was not in a hurry to kill people, because he knew that even without himself, each of these players would have to die at least five to ten times.
After "Shijo II" got the paper, his face suddenly showed joy, he didn't need to rely on himself to distinguish the authenticity of the formula, and the change of the system's task information was the best evidence.
Now that the system has prompted him to get the formula, the next step is to "make a secret potion".
Although the original goal of the quest was to get the elixir, and it stands to reason that getting a pill should be counted as a completion of the quest and a reward without having to eat it, players have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
Of course, they wouldn't know that it was precisely because Xu Jia gave them the formula that the system required them to continue to do it step by step until they collected the materials and configured the secret medicine by themselves.
If Xu Jia directly takes away the recipe, then their task will still be completed, and the system judges that the player has no possibility of getting the secret medicine in person, so it will directly give a reward.
And if Xu Jia takes out the recipe afterwards, it has nothing to do with this task, and the player can get rewards and take secret medicine, which is equivalent to improving the attributes twice.
Of course, this kind of cheating method is only understood by Xu Jia, and he naturally can't tell the players in front of him, and he can only sigh in his heart that the system loopholes in his head can't be used.
And after "Shijo II" got the formula, he quickly took out the formula and handed it to the other members of the ten-person team to pass it on one by one.
There's no way, the game system is so rigid. It's a group task, but you have to make sure everyone has seen it before everyone completes it.
One of the players thought for a moment and said, "Now that we've got the recipe, why don't we just look for the ingredients here?" ”
Since the natives can make secret medicines, it means that the island must have enough resources, which is easy to think of.
However, before the "four two" could speak, there was a violent vibration around them again, and everyone stood unsteadily, and Xu Jia took the lead, rushing out of the tower without saying a word.
Only then did the players come back to their senses, scolding that this damn mission was not over, and they also rushed out of the tower.
Strange to say, after leaving the obelisk, you can clearly feel that the shaking is much smaller, as if it is only the tower that is really shaking.
It's just that their movements are far less fast than Xu Jia, and when they come to the outside of the tower, they can only see Xu Jia's figure disappearing far away from the sky, and they can't see it in a blink of an eye.
"Why did this NPC run away?
"He's running too fast to catch up!"
"Chase a fart, it's important to escape!"
Players are running for their lives while also making small talk. After all, for players, life is actually a very unimportant thing, it's just a big deal to die once, but how the mission continues is more important.
"Shijo II" has never seen such a scene, but the warm sheep look a little solemn: "NPCs don't do things for no reason." Either this task has nothing to do with him next, or ...... We're in trouble. ”
As if to verify Nuan Yangyang's words, at the same time as her words fell, a loud noise suddenly came from behind everyone, and many players were almost frightened to sit on the ground.
Even long after the loud noise, many people's ears were still buzzing, and they couldn't hear anything else at all, only one thing was very clear.
If you don't run, you'll die!
At the top of the obelisk, a large amount of magma is erupting, some of which is left along the obelisk to form lava, and some of which are splashed out by the thrust.
Several unlucky players were landed on top of their heads by lava, and their figures disappeared in an instant.
"Damn, what kind of mission is this, and you take a magma bath?"
"Don't say it, it's too comfortable......"
The wonderful experience that has never been there before, makes the chat channel of these players lively, but "Shijo two" can't help but remind them.
"What are you still talking about! Hurry up and run the corpses, and you won't even have a place to resurrect in a while!"
"Damn, that makes sense!"
Those few people hurriedly began to hurry up and run the corpses, if they were any slower, they were afraid that there would be magma everywhere around, and they would die immediately at the moment of resurrection.
By that time, these people would probably have to die all the way out.
The others didn't bother to wait, and quickly ran out, but fortunately, the magma didn't spread very quickly, and the players were all warriors, so they wouldn't be caught up.
But they soon discovered a serious problem: an area near the obelisk had sunk deep below the ground due to the patriarch's movements, and they ...... Can't get out.
