Chapter 7: Devotional
After a brief conversation, I had a rough idea of where I was going. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since being bitten by the petrified snake, my left leg has begun to show some changes, and by the time I drove the locomotive back to the camp, the entire sole of my left foot was as hard as a stone.
"Even among adventurers, it's rare to see someone so determined." Shirley couldn't help but compliment me when she told me what had happened, which was very comforting.
Shirley said that it was not easy for me to survive the petrification and return to the camp, and it was also a very fortunate thing, and the little girl bluntly said that if I passed out in the wild and disappeared, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
So I asked again what was going on with the pocket watch and the stone.
At this time, Shirley smiled and said, "Thank you very much, my pocket watch and stones have not been lost, for which I will pay a commission according to the market price." “
"Not really, I asked about the pocket watch, but that's not what I meant."
As I spoke, I remembered one thing, when in the forest, the red snake bit me, and then pounced on the grass, looking at my neck and biting, but for some reason, this guy suddenly seemed to be frozen, frozen in the air, think about it, this incident may have something to do with the pocket watch.
So I asked, "Sister Shirley, does your pocket watch have any special functions?" ”
Hearing me say this, Shirley had a puzzled look on her face, and then shook her head.
"It's a little strange, if I'm not mistaken, there was something unusual about the watch in the forest that night, it emitted a bronze light, and then a flower snake was frozen." It is precisely because of the help of the pocket watch that I was able to escape in a thrilling way at the last moment, and because of this, I don't blame Shirley from the bottom of my heart, if it wasn't for her pocket watch, then I am afraid that I would have been either bitten to death by a snake or hammered to death by a gorilla!
Yes! As soon as I finished speaking, Shirley's face immediately showed a look of extreme surprise!
"Brother Zhiyuan, what the hell is going on, tell me quickly."
Shirley spoke very eagerly, and it could be seen that she was very excited when she heard the news.
So I told the story of the night, frowning slightly, until I made it clear to me that she took the watch from her fanny pack and gently placed it in my hand.
"Brother Zhiyuan, I didn't expect that you actually have the talent of spiritual cultivation!"
Devotional? Hearing this, I was slightly stunned, but when I looked, I saw the two strong men and the nurse next to me with envious looks on their faces.
"What is devotional?" I asked.
Shirley said: "Spirituality is a way for adventurers to practice, for example, Brother Xuanbin can control the actions of monsters through his pocket watch, and for example, a friend of mine, he has mastered the ability to increase his speed and can speed up his own shots." ”
"And such a thing?" For me, who had never been in the adventure world, this seemed odd.
"Spirituality can be divided into several major systems, one is the elemental system, adventurers who master elemental spirituality can control water, fire, wind, and all the common elements in the world, and fight through them. The second is the amplification system, such as speed amplification, healing amplification, damage amplification, etc. The third is the space-time series, this type of adventurer can master the ability to operate time and space. A few years ago, there was even a veteran space-time adventurer who flew to the moon alone in order to slaughter a monster! ”
When Shirley said this, my heart couldn't help but be shocked!
It turned out that the world of adventurers was so different from ordinary people, so I asked Shirley, "So what type of devotional are you?" ”
Who knew that Shirley just shook her head: "I'm just an ordinary adventurer, and mastering the two skills of 'Gun Mastery' and 'Mineral Mastery' is not a spiritual practice. The existence of spirituality in this world is very, very small, about one out of every five million people, only one person has the gift of spirituality, and among these people, there is a high probability that many people's talents will not be developed in their lifetime! ”
Is it? One in five million, if this is the case, then if the global population is calculated at 7 billion, there are probably no more than 1,500 people in this world who have spiritual ability.
Well! For some reason, Shirley suddenly clenched her fists very excitedly: "Brother Zhiyuan, since you have the ability of spiritual cultivation, you are the darling of the heavens, I believe that you will definitely survive the petrification difficulty." ”
I hope so, I gently stroked my pocket watch and handed it to Shirley.
Unexpectedly, Shirley just shook her head: "Let's put it on my brother first." ”
"Huh? Why not, maybe what I said about 'pause' was just because of the pocket watch, and I probably don't have the spiritual gifts you are talking about. ”
Shirley shook her head: "No matter what, it's worth trying, even if Brother Zhiyuan doesn't have the ability to manipulate time, even if it's just the ability to manipulate this pocket watch, it will be of great help to your future." "Although I have never blamed Shirley, Shirley seems that she has an unshirkable responsibility for petrification, and putting the pocket watch given by her father on me at this time has made her feel relieved.
I could see the meaning of the request in Shirley's eyes, and thought that it would not be possible to put this thing on me, so I said to Shirley, "Then put it here for me, get out of the cave, and return it to you." ”
Shirley was noncommittal, and only then did she begin to answer my previous questions and tell me what the hell this place was.
About a hundred kilometers outside of our camp, there is a huge mountain range, where Arras Circus has excavated several ancient caves, marked as Caves 1 to 7, and the cave where I am located is the number 3.
Cave 3 is so large that the place I woke up to see alone was enough to stuff a few skyscrapers.
In order to treat my injuries, Shirley bought all the existing "petrified relieving potions" in the base, but these potions can slow down the spread of snake venom, but they cannot cure it, in order to prevent the petrified venom from flowing into my heart, I must not take Shirley to Cave 3 to find plants that can detoxify.
"Our potion is only enough for 24 hours, so we must find the jellyfish corpse flower during this time, its medicinal properties can dilute the poison of the flower snake!" Shirley opens a profile page on a tablet, densely filled with information about the jellyfish corpse.
Although this jellyfish corpse flower has the word "jellyfish", it is a terrestrial plant, the plant on the ground is about 8cm high, only three flowers bloom at a time, the flower color is fleshy, yellowish, slightly fluorescent, there is a video on the computer, open it to see, it is the process of the adventurer digging the jellyfish corpse flower. After the jellyfish corpse flower is excavated, the underground stem is in the shape of a transparent bag, like a jellyfish, so the flower is named "jellyfish".
It is said that this jellyfish-shaped tuber is the only place where this flower has medicinal effects, which can solve many problems, such as relieving petrification and inflammation, when the plant blooms, it will emit a strange fragrance and attract many animals, but these animals are often harmed by flower poison and become nourishment, so next to this plant, many corpses are often seen, which is the origin of "corpse flower".
"I didn't expect that there are such strange flowers in this world." After reading the materials prepared by Shirley, I let out a sigh of admiration, in the past few days, my concept of the world has suffered a very big impact, it turns out that this world is not as ordinary as I imagined. Unexpectedly, there are so many animals and plants in this mysterious cave that I have never heard of before.
"Without further ado, let's move on." Shirley handed me the silver-white giant hand cannon Super Black Hawk into my hands, and stuffed me with a bag of things, which contained 0.7 meters of folding glow sticks, some marching rations, a 1L bottle of purified water, and a few grenades, which were very heavy.
Shirley said: "Brother Zhiyuan is still lying on the stretcher, take these things in your hands, if there is any problem, you can deal with it." ”
"What could be the problem?" I asked, confused.
Shirley said: "There are many strange creatures in Cave 3, which are difficult to deal with, such as the strange monkeys and snakes in the forest, so you must be vigilant. ”
Well, when Shirley said that, I was a lot nervous, but I didn't want to lie down, so I asked Shirley, "Maybe there's a way to help me get up!" ”
Shirley looked at me in surprise: "What does my brother want to do?" ”
"I don't want to lie down, it feels weird."
Hearing me say this, Shirley was silent for a while and then spoke: "There is a powerful potion, which can help my brother completely suppress the petrified venom within 24 hours, but this thing has strong side effects, so I didn't give it to my brother." ”
"Oh? What are the side effects? "Shirley is a polite girl, and she speaks and closes her mouth, which makes people feel quite close.
"Severe pain!" "Once the effect is over, it will cause very intense pain, like someone with a shovel hitting our bones alive. ”
It gave me a toothache when I heard that.
"Are there any other side effects besides pain?" I asked.
"Nope." Shirley said.
"So, do you have this medicine with you, are you tired?"
"This ......," said Shirley, "is expensive." Once used, relieving agents can no longer be used. ”
Shirley said with concern in her eyes, I knew that she didn't feel sorry for money, otherwise she wouldn't have said that she would give me 100,000 US dollars, she said this, I'm afraid she didn't want me to suffer, and wanted to persuade me to give up. However, knowing that my left leg might be ruined, and that I might die if I didn't even find the medicinal herbs, how could I lie down and be taken care of by someone at this time, and it was impossible for me to sit still at this time.
I can't use the reliever anymore, that's okay, anyway, if I don't find the jellyfish corpse flower after 24 hours, then my fate will be the next one, turning to stone.
My attitude was very firm, and even though I knew that Shirley was well-intentioned, I still said, "Just use it for me, if it's hard, if it's expensive, just put the 100,000 dollars away." ”
Yes! Hearing this, Shirley's face turned red, and she suddenly showed a look of shame. Obviously, Shirley had prepared two potions to take into account my needs. Being topped by me like this, Shirley suddenly didn't know what to say.
I know I'm talking too hard, but I really don't want to lie down, and if Shirley really wants to help me, I'd rather be able to stand than lie down and let her take care of me.
