Chapter 708: Sick Mountain, Flying Dragon, and Hidden Village
Rakavik Town,
Originally, it was supposed to be an idyllic town with a European retro style, and the sparse and low-rise bungalows were perfect for out-of-town travelers.
But as the gray field spread, the disease spread.
Pathogenesis permeates every inch of land, every brick and tile, every wall paint, and the town has been radically diseased, and the once low bungalows have begun to grow like living creatures, not vertically but crookedly and twisted.
The various window structures are more like organ structures such as mouths and eye sockets.
To add insult to injury, the fully diseased house seems to be able to 'procreate', giving birth to structurally similar structures around the house, making the once sparse town compact, making the wide roads only sideways to squeeze through, and in some places even going over walls, drilling holes, and even passing through the interior of the house.
Most buildings will intersect above the second floor, with doors to doors, windows to windows.
Instead of wandering the streets, the townspeople wander from building to building.
This vertical structure has also increased the capacity of the town by more than tenfold.
Just standing outside the town and looking at such a dense and twisted complex of buildings can be uncomfortable, and it feels like you're being squeezed by the houses once you set foot in it.
William was attracted by such a small town structure from a distance of hundreds of meters, and wanted to go in and experience the cultural customs.
At this moment, a click~ sound came from the side of the road,
The snail shell, the size of a football, is peeled off from the ground, and a large amount of mucus is secreted to lubricate it, and then a large amount of soft tissue grows from it.
Translucent wet feet, a willow-like waist, black hair hanging down in front of him to cover the bulge, hands very politely clasped around the waist to salute the four people passing by.
However, just by stature, the person's head has been combined with a snail shell, and it looks like some kind of parasitic infestation.
A voice resembling a severe cold with a severe nasal voice came from between the shells of the snail on the head: "If I'm guessing correctly, you're here to stay in the town of Rakavik and inquire about the Sick Mountain, right?" Can you let me be your guide for your stay?
With just a small rebate, I can help you arrange the best accommodation possible and explain the legends and deeds of the Sick Mountain, the Wyvern and the Hidden Village. ”
William, who heard a few special keywords, immediately became interested, "How do you charge?" ”
"Deeply infected people like you, don't need money, just let this little brother accompany me."
As she spoke, the woman's translucent body sprouted nematode-like structures that floated in the air like silk threads, and the object of her words was Nash.
William turned his head directly and asked, pushing his fingers through the glasses he had just changed, "Nash, can you meet this young lady's request?" ”
"It's an honor."
Nash also changed his previous appearance from the ass and invited the other party to join the team very gentlemanly.
The moment the snail-headed woman touched Nash's palm, a large amount of tissue fluid was immediately secreted from the head of the snail shell like an electric shock, soaking her whole body.
The whole body also trembled with excitement, obviously believing that he had made the right bet. Being able to mate with such an excellent parasite, she will get parasitic experience that money can't buy.
William, who was walking in front, continued, "We'd better not stay at the hotel, but give us a rough overview of the situation on the sick mountain, and then we'll set off." ”
"Is it in such a hurry? Sick Mountain is very dangerous, most people will rest and recuperate to the best state before setting off, otherwise the mortality rate is very high. ”
"How tall."
"Eight or nine floors are so high."
"Okay, then you can find a place to talk to us in detail about [Sick Mountain], and then we will consider the next action."
"Okay." Naturally, the snail girl wanted them to stay a few more days so that she could have a chance to communicate and learn from Nash, "Let's go to the café and sit down, there is a private room where we can chat." ”
Led by the Snail Girl, the group set foot in the outermost building of Rakavik Town, and when they entered, they found that the town's 'street' was completely inside the building.
By crossing the glued windows,
or a 'common door' in the bathroom, living room,
Even the entrance passage, which has been fully connected, can freely pass through the different buildings, realizing the so-called 'shopping'.
Of course, there are also private areas marked in some places, and trespassing will be attacked.
Soon came to a high-end café on the top floor, called Cloud Coffee, where the attendants also wore snail shells and quickly arranged a closed private room for everyone.
The coffee cups are also snail-shaped, and mollusks can be seen popping up in the hot coffee, giving them a unique flavor.
The private room was for four people, the snail girl was sitting on one side with Nash, and William and the dentist Jessica were sitting on the side.
The mentally ill Lorian stood with his back to the door, unmoved even if William asked him to come and squeeze him.
The snail girl spoke first, "You came here from other places, you should have some preliminary understanding of the sick mountain, right?" ”
William waved his hand, "We came here unintentionally and heard about Sick Mountain, and we didn't even have the slightest preliminary understanding.
The purpose of our trip was to transfer this particular patient to a hospital somewhere in the Northland.
But he's still in a stable state, and we're always stop-and-go, and when we encounter interesting things, we get involved. ”
"Well, I'll tell you more about it.
[Ill Mountain] is famous in many places in the Central Region, and many patients who have reached the open source level will come to visit it, even if their lives are in danger.
It is rumored that as long as you can find the hidden village in the sick mountains and become a villager in it, you will be able to contract a terminal disease, and the individual's illness will get a qualitative leap, and even easily touch the [path] that you can't believe at all. ”
"Terminally ill?" For some reason, William wanted to laugh when he heard such a word.
"Sick Mountain is pregnant with a special pathogen, but not everyone can be infected, and only when it reaches open source can you try to contact it."
"What kind of illness is it? Are there any patients infected with this terminal illness in the town? ”
"The terminally ill big guys don't come to us, most of them stay in the Hidden Village for a long time, and then go straight to the Old World.
What kind of illness is it, I just roughly heard that it can swallow clouds and spit fog, and soar through clouds.
The special mist that surrounds the sick mountain is spit out by the sick people in the hidden village, and even the brightest light is impenetrable, making the sick mountain isolated from the world. ”
"What about the Wyvern you were talking about?"
"This is the most dangerous element of the Sick Mountain, and a large number of flying dragons are entrenched in it...... These huge flying bodies that resemble mythical dragons can seriously injure or even kill the open source sick with a single breath.
And our patients, especially some of the flesh-related patients, are the favorite desserts of the Wyverns. ”
"Can this thing kill?"
"You can't kill it, and you can't kill it!
Wyverns are part of the Sick Mountain, and killing them will attract the hatred of the Sick Mountain, not only will they never find the hidden village again, but they will never be able to get out of the Sick Mountain.
In severe cases, they will even be assassinated by the sick in the hidden village, and even brought as living sacrifices.
Moreover, there are many hidden dangers in the sick mountains, such as humanoid mushrooms, man-swallowing tree holes, and so on.
It is recommended that you rest here for a few more days and buy our climbing tools here, which can greatly increase the success rate. ”
"No, we'll set off today, and the time is very urgent~ After all, our main task is to send this special patient. 【Sick Mountain】Let's take a casual stroll, it doesn't matter if we can find the hidden village.
If you want to stay with Mr. Nash, you can come with us.
Of course, if you don't want to come along and want money, we can pay you too. ”
It would have been absolutely impossible for the snail girl to go to the Sick Mountain, she knew very well how dangerous it was, and in the past, she would have almost died in nine deaths. But the contact with Nash's palm just now made her experience a feeling that she had never felt in her life.
Gritting his teeth, "I...... I'll go with you. ”
