Chapter 140: The Unsolvable Curse (I)
The task gives a total of 24 hours.
In other words, Qin Fei and the others only need to hold out until midnight tomorrow, and they should be able to successfully complete the second main quest.
The situation in the outside world is unknown at the moment, and the mysterious 'Devouring God' has never appeared, so it would be quite unwise to rush out and act at this time.
Moreover, the pigs in the village did not become mad pigs, so Qin Fei planned to hide in Caesar's house for a period of time before taking action depending on the specific situation.
In Caesar Pig's house, Qin Fei and Xie Nanai stayed until the next morning.
The village was still remarkably calm.
Qin Fei opened the door of the pig room and glanced outside.
Unlike usual, the pigs did not come out of the house.
Although it was early in the morning, the sun did not appear in the sky. The strange white full moon was still hanging in the sky at this time.
The whole world was reflected in the moonlight of this full moon, and it was grayish and white.
After probing the situation in the outside world, Qin Fei continued to stay in the pig house and spent the entire day.
The 'God of Biting' still hasn't appeared.
[Countdown to Survival: 22 hours]
What made Qin Fei feel strange was that although he was not attacked by the 'Devouring God', the countdown on the mission hint was also very slow.
Qin Fei and the others stayed in the pig room all day, but the countdown to this task was only 2 hours.
In this way, it is at least six to eight times slower.
Could it be that ....
Qin Fei estimated that it might be due to the fact that he used the pig house to defend against the 'God of Biting'.
This is equivalent to him taking advantage of the 'loophole' in the mission world to tide over the difficulties. That's why it was punished by the system, which led to a slowdown in the flow of time....
However, it doesn't matter how slow you go.
Even if time slows down in the pig house, as long as you can avoid the 'God of Biting'. 24 hours is not a long time, and it can always be over.
What's more, the food and water in Qin Fei's backpack are still sufficient, even if he stays for more than ten days, it is no problem.
Nothing was said all night.
Soon, the time came to the early morning of the third day.
The so-called 'God of Biting' has yet to come.
In this way, even Qin Fei, who has always acted cautiously, was already a little unable to sit still.
He felt the slightest thing was wrong.
This task is a bit too simple, isn't it? Even if the pig house can hide from the attack of the 'God of Biting', there has to be some movement outside.
has been so quiet, but it made Qin Fei feel a little abnormal.
He decided to take a look outside.
If you just go out for a while, there shouldn't be any danger....
Qin Fei lifted his spirits and cautiously walked out of the house.... Since the pigs were hiding in the pig houses, the whole village was a little quiet and eerie.
But apart from this strange atmosphere, Qin Fei, who was standing outside, didn't find anything abnormal.
……
Qin Fei was a little puzzled.
Could it be that the system is wrong?
In fact, there is no such thing as a 'god of biting'....
No.
The information given on the sample implant has not been error-free.
And according to the performance of those pigs, it is clear that a catastrophe is coming, which also shows that disasters definitely exist.
I don't know how the pigs in the village are doing now....
In order to investigate the situation, Qin Fei relied on the skill of Shadow Form to burrow into the nearby pig house and check the situation inside.
The pigs, basically all of them are in the house. Most of them were huddled in the corners of the room, shivering with horror on their faces.
There should be no problem with the tasks given by the system.
And the fear of the pigs is also not fake.
But Qin Fei did not encounter any danger outside.
That's weird....
Qin Fei suddenly found at this time that after he had been outside the house for such a period of time, the countdown on the mission seemed to be moving faster.
The countdown to the previous full day was only 2 hours shorter.
And after Qin Fei walked outside the pig house, it only took a short while, and the time had been reduced by an hour.
The speed of time in the outside world, compared to the countdown of the mission, has almost returned to the normal one-to-one state.
[Countdown to Survival: 21 hours!] 】
Since he was sure that there was no danger outside, Qin Fei immediately called Xie Nanai out of the pig room. In this way, the time countdown on the two-person mission can be faster.
The two of them are not far from the pig house, so that if they encounter any emergencies, they can also return to the house as soon as possible.
"Huh? Why do I feel so itchy? ”
Xie Nana, who had been standing outside for a short time, suddenly began to scratch the back of his hand.
"Itchy?"
Since Qin Fei had been concentrating on thinking about the problem before, he didn't notice the abnormality in his body.
But now after hearing Xie Nanai say this, Qin Fei, who didn't feel itchy, also found something wrong at this time.
The back of his hand began to itch too.
Not only that, Qin Fei found scales the size of rice grains and some small granular protrusions on the back of his hand....
These.... Looks like a fisherman's trait ....
"Is this a curse?"
Qin Fei immediately came to a terrifying conclusion.
So, the plague in the mouth of the pig elder refers to the curse that will turn into a fisherman?
From this point of view, the biggest crisis in Yongyue is not an unknown horror monster at all, but gradually mutates into a fisherman's curse!
The 'God of Biting' mentioned in the quest is coming, referring to himself who is about to transform into a fisherman, as well as the pigs.
No wonder I haven't seen the so-called 'God of Biting'!
In this way, the so-called countdown in the mission should not be a survival task.
It was Qin Fei himself and Xie Nanai, who were about to transform into fishermen after being cursed, and the countdown to death!
In this way, the reason why the swamp pigs became fishermen was found.
Those pigs are probably all transformed into fishermen in the last 'Eternal Moon' incident.
However, after standing outside for such a short time, the fisherman's scales on Qin Fei's arm had already covered half of the back of his hand....
No, I can't stay outside anymore.
Qin Fei and Xie Nanai have been staying in the pig house in the two days since Yongyue arrived.
Inside the pig house, the death countdown on their mission not only went slowly, but also had no obvious physical mutations.
The pig house should be able to delay the time the curse takes effect!
After realizing this, Qin Fei immediately pulled Xie Nanai and returned to Caesar Pig's house.
Qin Fei, who returned to the house, immediately found that the strange feeling on his body had disappeared....
According to the speed of time, the pig house can probably slow down the time for the curse to take effect by about six to eight times....
However, Qin Fei was still extremely apprehensive in his heart. If they can't find a way to lift the curse soon, he and Xenaine will eventually mutate into fishermen.
Mutation is not death, and as such, a substitute for a dead doll is ineffective.
Not only that, but the curse is almost ubiquitous and invisible. Even the source of the release of the curse, Qin Fei still had no clue.
There is no way to avoid this curse.
Qin Fei began to panic.
Could it be that this mission world is unsolvable?
