Chapter 118: Gargoyle
"A shortcut to the top of the mountain?"
Mu You was overjoyed, this time, in the future, he would not need to climb thousands of meters from the foot of the misty mountain every time, and he would have to pass through the dangerous misty area on the way, which was dangerous and slow, and it was much more convenient to directly enter the tomb and take a shortcut.
Mu You chose to be sure, this must go up to see the situation first.
But at the same time, he also held his pocket watch to avoid any danger.
[You climb all the way up the stone chimney, climbing, and you are expected to reach the ...... in ten minutes]
The one-thousand-meter-high pipeline seemed to be more difficult to climb, and Mu You waited honestly for ten minutes.
[After a difficult climb, you finally come to the chimney exit!] 】
You crawl out of the exit and appear on a snowy field. What is presented in front of you is a world covered in ice and snow, the white snow-capped mountain tops are connected in the distance, you can't see it really, the wind mixed with the frost is whistling, and the strong low temperature instantly swept you, causing you to enter a state of severe hypothermia, and your health will slide down at a rate of 5% per second......]
"Damn, so scary?"
Mu You's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly pressed the pocket watch.
It seems that this mountain top is really not something that can be climbed casually, at least you must prepare the means to protect against the cold, otherwise you will be frozen to death in less than 20 seconds when you go out, which is really outrageous.
This can only be put away for now, and then we will talk about it when we have prepared the props to protect against the cold.
[Time passes, and you return to the chimney. 】
[After seeing the extreme environment at the top of the Misty Mountain, you know that there is no hope of exploration now, so you return to the secret room the same way......]
After another ten minutes of waiting, the figure returns to the chamber.
Mu You manipulated the character to leave the secret room and prepared to leave through the teleportation array.
However, due to the hurry of coming up just now, the six corridors below were all hurriedly swept by.
Considering the chimney passage found in the secret room just now, in order to avoid missing any treasures, Mu You carefully searched the entire tomb before leaving.
- He really found out something!
[You returned to the main hall at the bottom of the tomb and were about to leave, but suddenly you felt a faint shout in your head. The voice is very weak, and your feelings tell you that it seems to be a cry for help. Do you want to find the source of the sound? 】
Distress?
Mu You was stunned, weren't all the creatures in this hall torn apart by the shadow ghosts, could there be any alive?
After thinking about it, Mu You clicked 'Trace the Source'.
[You followed the sound and searched, and after searching all the way, you finally found a pile of broken stones at one of the Yongdao crossings. These stones seemed to be fragments of some kind of statue, and it was from them that the idea of crying for help came from. 】
[You search around the neighborhood and collect all the stones of the same kind.] From the appearance of these stones, you can vaguely see the prototype of a gargoyle. 】
Gargoyle: This is a magical creature that can switch between life and stone. When it is injured or dies, it enters a petrified state, quickly repairing itself until it is resurrected. Gargoyles have no concept of lifespan, as they never really die, and even if they are broken into pieces, they can be resurrected instantly as long as they are reassembled into stone scarves.
[You have obtained 'Gargoyle Wreckage Rubble'*17.] Do you want to take it out? 】
"It turned out to be a gargoyle!"
Mu You was stunned. When I got the vampire skin before, the game description mentioned the existence of this gargoyle, and for many years, he has been helping his master to deliver blood and energy, and maintain his body from decay, which can be regarded as loyal.
It seems that this gargoyle was also shattered into stones by the shadow ghost, but I didn't expect it to be dead......
Mu You clicks on the 'Gargoyle Wreckage' text.
A pile of stone remains appeared on the ground in front of him at any moment.
Seventeen pieces, not too broken to be very thorough, Mu You spliced it a little, and quickly put it together into a complete gargoyle statue on the table.
However, the size of this gargoyle is much smaller than expected, and the size is similar to that of the evil woman, and the shape is like a miniature version of the western dragon, especially the head, the appearance of the foolish head, coupled with the pitch-black color, reminds him of the night fire in "How to Train Your Dragon".
As soon as the splicing was completed, there was a faint vibration in the stone carving, as if something was struggling to break out of its shell.
Mu You immediately took a step back and held the wand in his hand.
He wasn't sure what the state of the gargoyle would be when it came back to life, but if it was a wild monster, it might attack directly, and it would be right to defend it.
The stone statue trembled more and more, and finally after a burst of turbid air came out, the whole stone statue suddenly moved directly, flapping its wings and flying in the air.
Mu You could see it clearly, the moment the stone statue moved, the color of its body surface deepened slightly, and it was no longer the material of the stone, but turned into a real creature skin.
After the gargoyle was resurrected, he seemed to be still a little weak, and after a few flapping of his wings, he lost his strength, and fell back on the table, moving quickly towards Mu You on two short legs.
Mu You was still a little vigilant, but he didn't expect that after this gargoyle approached, instead of attacking, he rubbed his hand with his head very affectionately.
Mu You was stunned for a moment, and some reacted.
Could it be because he still wears vampire skin, so the gargoyle thinks of him as his former master?
Mu You looked at the gargoyle in his hand and checked its attributes with the omniscient crystal.
"A newly resurrected gargoyle with a demon state bound to a vampire's skin. After hunting an organism, it absorbs its blood and converts it into one blood gas in the body, up to five blood gases at the same time. Gargoyles can infuse their owners with a portion of Blood Qi per day, helping them suppress the cursed effects of Blood Thirst and increasing their master's lifespan by one year. ”
So that's it!
Mu You's eyes lit up, and he said that such a powerful character as a vampire could not even have a basic lifespan task, it turned out that the task was bound to this gargoyle!
Relying on the gargoyle to pass on a piece of blood to him every day, not only can he suppress his curse, but also increase his lifespan by the way, killing two birds with one stone!
And the gargoyle also seemed to feel the bloodthirsty curse in Mu You's body at this time, and suddenly flapped its wings and flew to his shoulder, sending him a stored blood qi.
Mu You suddenly felt that the cold in his body disappeared without a trace, but turned into a warm current circulating in his body, which was very comfortable.
I can only say that fortunately, he searched a little more before leaving, and this gargoylee was so useful that it directly helped him resolve a curse effect.
However, this gargoyle seems to only be bound to vampire skins, and if he usually changes the vampire skin, I don't know if it will recognize its master......
Thinking of this, Mu You took the gargoyle off his shoulder, put it on the table, gently pressed its back wings with his hands, and then tried to remove the vampire's skin and observe the gargoyle's reaction.
As a result, the gargoyle still didn't attack him, but just looked at him suspiciously, as if he was at a loss, why did the image of the master suddenly change? However, after confirming that the smell had not changed, it soon began to rub Mu You's palm affectionately again.
At this time, Mu You was completely relieved, opened the backpack space, and released it into the backpack.
This gargoylee has no attributes such as level and attack power, and like Coke, it belongs to a non-combat type of housekeeper, and it is a bit dangerous to let it go hunting, so simply let it be in the backpack.
On the newly appeared mountain range in the backpack, there were many small animals surviving, enough for it to hunt and replenish its blood.
