Chapter 173: Treasure Hunter
Chapter 173
Du Zhengyi's chair turned, and he faced Luo Qi, leaning back in the depths of the chair, his two slender legs overlapped. "Do you want to hear it?"
"Yes, Queen!" Roach exclaimed.
His juice bottle flew up and knocked on his head, and he rubbed his head and waited eagerly for Du Zhengyi to speak.
"Qiqi is actually just a legend, because we have this fierce beast, and then we attached such a name." Du Zhengyi said, "I think that when humans first saw them, they must have been very desperately frightened, and without knowing how to describe it, they thought of the poor strange they imagined. ”
Roach kind of understood, "You mean to say that Poor Qi hasn't always been there?" In other words, Qiqi is actually just a legendary story, not a beast that escaped from the hands of an ancient mage. Even an ancient mage with boundless mana hadn't actually used this beast? ”
Du Zheng nodded and thought about it a little, "Qiqi, that is to say, the scavengers that Qionglin uses now appeared in the Middle Ages. Not many people pay attention to this matter, so I only remember an approximate year of its occurrence, which occurred from the Five Dynasties period to the early Song Dynasty in terms of human time. The landmark event in which Qiqi appeared was later called the Kongsang Mountain Qiqi Case. ”
"Poor Qi did appear in Kongsang Mountain?" Rocky asked.
Du Zheng thought for a while, as if he wanted to find some uncertainty in this Qionglin incident that he didn't care too much about, he was a cautious person. Finally, he said, "I remember that it is indeed Kongsang Mountain, but it may also be that Kongsang Mountain in general. As soon as the Qiqi appeared, they began a massacre, and they swept through many villages, causing great chaos in the area of Kongsang Mountain. ”
Roach could imagine that scene, he had come face to face with Poor Qi, and Poor Qi did look terrible at first glance, but that was only because he had never seen anything like it. Roach could also feel that the thing completely violated the basic common sense of biology, and it didn't look like a creature that should exist in nature at all, but the initial horror could always be overcome, and Poor Qi was just a beast after all. Since it is a beast, it will not be invulnerable, and it will be killed. But the most terrifying thing about this beast is that it is not normal, it is an existence that can make the natural world unbalanced.
In other words, they are more reactive than all beasts, they are more agile than cheetahs, they are more powerful than tigers, and they are even more active than most of the beasts at the top of the food chain. Jonlin called them scavengers because they literally tore apart all the creatures that passed in front of them, a highly efficient killing effort they had enjoyed for nearly a thousand years.
So when Qiqi appeared in front of humans, even though it was just a beast that could not breathe fire or spit lightning, it was still something that the people of the Great Song Dynasty could not deal with. Even now, if a considerable number of poor Qi appeared in the human market, Luo Qi did not dare to say whether the human race had a complete chance of winning. After all, there has been a lot of discussion in movies like Jurassic Park, and the conclusions are not too optimistic.
When Luo Qi was deep in thought, Du Zhengyi continued, "When Qionglin first started the investigation, he paid a lot of price. At that time, the mages did not expect that there would be a beast with such a reaction speed, so the initial battle suffered heavy losses, and Qiqi's reaction speed was able to completely suppress the mage. ”
Luo Qi nodded and was apprehensive about this matter, his reaction speed can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches of the mage, and it is completely impossible to even escape in front of Qi Qi.
However, the pattern soon appeared, and it is said that although Qiqi was good at killing, he was able to choose who to kill in a tendentious manner. They seem to prefer to kill humans, and are cautious about mages killing. Jonlin soon realized that he should send the Mind Mage to investigate the matter, but the Mind Mage failed to figure out why Poor Qi was inclined to attack humans, the only explanation being that they seemed to prefer human taste, in other words, the tendency of some people to eat pork and some to eat mutton. However, in the process of investigating, the Mind Mage discovered that there was a mage's consciousness in Jonchi's mind. This is what Wen Lin said, the evil ghost that accompanies the fierce beast. In fact, this just shows that it is obvious that someone is using Qi Qi as a psychic beast, but his skills are not perfect, and he has not been able to completely control Qi Qi. It could be that the person's energy is not enough, the telepathy level is too low, etc., all in all, a disproportionate mage gets a deadly weapon. Du Zhengyi said, his words making Luo Qi shudder.
"Did that guy get caught later?" Rocky asked.
"It is said that in the process of arresting, he was accidentally killed." Du Zhengyi said, his eyes drooping, as if calculating what kind of ending things would be if he was doing it. Finally, he shook his head, "If the other party can drive away the Poor Odd Corps, it will not be easy to capture him. Even if you want to eliminate him, it will not be easy. ”
"So how the hell did he unlock the seal of Qiqi become an unsolved mystery?" Roach had some very unlucky thoughts.
"Qionglin investigated afterwards, and it is said that he once boasted to others that Qiqi was made by himself." Du Zhengyi said calmly.
"Brother, from your professional point of view, do you think this is possible?" Rocky asked.
"I don't know, the magic of the ancient mages was so vast that it was not imaginable today, and most of it has been lost today. Sometimes, after a few hundred years, there is a revival of one or two magical techniques. Du Zhengyi said, "It is interesting to note that after the investigation, it was found that the mage was a treasure hunter. ”
"It's possible for a treasure hunter to discover ancient magic." Luo Qi said, looking into Du Zhengyi's eyes, "But it's also very likely that he broke the seal in the ruins of the ancient mage." ”
"There's another possibility. In fact, he had both, and he unlocked the magic of the seal and created the Ancient Beast. Du Zhengyi shook his head as he spoke, "It's not clear what exactly is going on, Qiong Lin didn't find anything, but just received this batch of poor Qi in a psychic way." They brought the controlled Qiqi back to Qionglin, and they didn't want to kill them all, but they couldn't let them out, so they simply used them to watch the home and nursery, so they let this fierce beast breed until now. ”
"So Wen Lin's worries are actually very reasonable, how could the Lotus Burner give up such a good tool? A super beast that naturally loves to attack humans! So they were really looking for a seal in the empty mulberry mountain. Roach said worriedly, unable to sit still.
"Luo Qi, you should be able to guess that Qionglin has already dug three feet into the ground against Kongsang Mountain back then." Du Zhengyi said, "I don't think the Lotus Burner can find anything. Whatever the treasure hunter found back then, it must no longer be in the Empty Mulberry Mountain. ”
