Chapter 520 Desperate News
"You mean, after defeating that monster, Ling Jian suddenly changed?"
Everyone gathered around the unconscious Ling Jian and listened to Mr. Yuan''s account of the previous encounter.
"That''s right." Mr. Yuan nodded: "I had already walked up to collect the trophies when I suddenly heard an unusual sound behind me. When I turned around, I saw that Ling Jian''s body was changing, but his consciousness was still awake. While shaking the part that controls the mutation, he loudly reminded me to stay away.”
"Then, Ling Jian began to be unable to suppress these chaotic parts and began to attack me. It took me a lot of effort to control him, and I lost some energy to help him resist the infection, which finally stabilized him. This kid should be now I am fighting against the mutation in my body..."
"So Mr. Yuan, are you not injured?" Luo Jun asked with concern.
"I''m fine." Mr. Yuan waved his hand: "Before Ling Jian took action, he used his last consciousness to remind me that I was on guard, and his attacks were blocked with Gang Qi."
Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but still patted Mr. Yuan and judged: "I photographed Mr. Yuan who was not infected."
"Ding, the direction of this incident is unknown and cannot be determined."
Unknown direction?
Luo Jun immediately began to look inside, his vitality moved around the limbs and bones, but he didn''t notice anything unusual.
Is it because I am not infected or am I unaware of it?
To be on the safe side, he tried to use dice to make a decision, but no matter how he worded it, the final result was in the unknown...
This shows that there is a problem with the concept of infection.
According to Luo Jun''s experience, dice judgment events are not so literal. Generally speaking, as long as the meaning is achieved, Luo Jun''s understanding will prevail to a certain extent.
It is said that the direction is unknown, which means that the concept of becoming a chaotic creature is different from the infection that Luo Jun understands.
As for other explanations, such as whether it will become a chaotic creature, it is not relevant enough. After all, even if it is "infected", it will take a certain amount of time to mutate, and dice cannot determine this kind of non-instantaneous of effective events.
So since it is not an infection as he understands it, what is the principle of this change?
Luo Jun began to look inward again, his vitality moved around the limbs and bones, but he didn''t notice anything unusual.
I can''t feel it, and the dice can''t tell it... What exactly is this strange change?
The only clue he has now is that he has completed the change and is no longer the same person. As for the process, Luo Jun doesn''t know, but if he doesn''t know this, he has no way to judge whether he, Mr. Yuan, and others are There''s a problem!
No...just calm down and analyze...
Ling Jian was injured by a chaotic creature a few hours ago. If it was really "infected" at that time, then it means that it will take a certain amount of time to transform into a chaotic creature, and there will be an uncontrollable mutation process in the process.
In other words, if you are just "infected", you won''t notice any changes, and it will be difficult to verify the problem even with dice; after a while, there will be a violent reaction, which is Ling Jian''s current state, and you can tell it with the naked eye at this time. Abnormal; after this intense state, it will completely turn into a chaotic creature and stabilize. Just like Li Ying, it can deceive most detection methods. At present, only dice can accurately verify it.
It seems that except for Ling Jian, everyone else is currently in a stable state. Among them, Mr. Yuan, Ma Qiao and Sun Xiaowei have been with him all the time. The three of them can be sure that there is no problem at the moment. Even if they are "infected" at some point, they will have a violent reaction at some point in the future.
As for Zhuge Zi and Mao Xintong who later joined the team, they had many days to act alone. It is possible that they have completed the "mutation" during this time, so they need to verify their problems first!
Thinking of this, Luo Jun took advantage of everyone to discuss Ling Jian''s condition and calmly went over and patted them. In the end, both of them were fine.
Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
In other words, there are currently no mutations in the team...but it cannot be ruled out that someone has been "infected" and has the seeds of mutation, of course, this includes himself.
"What should we do now?" Sun Xiaowei asked.
"We have no experience in this situation and can''t solve it." Mao Xintong suggested: "It''s best to ask the businessman first. Maybe he knows something."
"But the nearest store is still far away." Zhuge Zi said: "We can''t leave him here, right?"
"Take it with you, what if he hurts someone again?" Ma Qiao warned: "And who knows how he was infected? Even if he doesn''t hurt anyone, what if people who have been in contact with him will be infected? "
"Do you suspect that I am also infected?" Mr. Yuan asked directly.
"I didn''t mean that..." Ma Qiao hurriedly changed his words: "Old Yuan has a profound cultivation, so naturally he is not afraid of these evil heretics, but we may not be able to withstand them..."
"Let''s do this. I''ll build a robot and carry him on my back!" Sun Xiaowei volunteered.
"Can you hold on?" Zhuge Zi said: "You must be very tired every time you scan the map. It is so difficult to maintain an electric car and a bicycle, let alone maintain a robot that can carry a person for a long time?"
"I can try!" Sun Xiaowei gritted her teeth and said, "Grandma said that only by constantly breaking through your own limits can you become stronger!"
"This is not a long-term solution." Mr. Yuan shook his head, then raised his hand and took out a ring, put it on, injected vitality, and summoned a huge animal.
This animal looks a bit like a cow, but it is bigger than a cow, almost like an elephant. It has only one horn on its head, and its body is green and black. Its body is very thick and powerful, but it looks very bulky.
"What is this?" everyone asked curiously.
"This is the summoned beast of the Noble Phantasm, the Unicorn. It is very strong and can carry heavy things, but it is not fast. When we are exploring normally, we can use it to help carry the Lingjian."
With such a beast of burden, everyone no longer had to interact with Ling Jian. Everyone found a way to tie Ling Jian to Dujiao Si''s back and ran directly to the store.
On the way, Mr. Yuan approached Luo Jun and asked in a low voice: "Li Ying, he..."
When he came back and didn''t see Li Ying, he asked about it. The answer everyone gave him was the same story Luo Jun made up. Of course Mr. Yuan didn''t believe it. If nothing else, at Luo Jun''s level, even if he didn''t show his true strength, escaping from the chaos monster would at least not be a problem. It was completely impossible for him to become a "drag" and kill Li Ying.
Luo Jun looked at the people behind him, especially Mao Xintong from the Insight Sect, and sighed: "Brother, he is very brave, and he did not embarrass you in the end."
As he said this, he began to adjust the screen of the video recorder with his hand, blocking it with his body, and played a short video.
This was recorded casually when he was fighting with Li Ying. He knew that Mr. Yuan would definitely ask about the matter, so he left a piece of evidence.
Looking at the half-human and half-monster Li Ying in the picture, Mr. Yuan sighed: "I understand, thank you..."
Luo Jun nodded, switched back to the map and continued to lead everyone forward.
All encounter points were abandoned along the way, and soon they arrived at the nearest store. Luo Jun stepped forward and knocked on the window. When the fat businessman saw him, he immediately burst into laughter.
"Guest, you came at just the right time. We just found a page of the diary. You..."
"Don''t worry about that, let''s take a look at this first." As he said that, Luo Jun pointed behind him. Ling Jian, who was carrying one third of his body on Dujiao Si''s back, had already been alienated. It didn''t matter if the businessman didn''t see it. When he saw it clearly, he was startled and had to close the window.
"Wait!" Luo Jun''s eyes quickly blocked the window with his hands: "What are you afraid of? Isn''t it just that you are sick?"
"That''s not a disease, my guest!" The businessman glanced at him, as if he didn''t dare to look at him: "I''ve seen people become like this and end up miserable in the end."
"It''s him who is miserable, what are you afraid of?" Luo Jun frowned.
"Of course I''m scared!" The businessman trembled: "People who have been in contact with him may also become like this..." As he said that, the businessman looked at Luo Jun with a wary face: "Guest, you won''t also..."
"I haven''t touched him." Luo Jun''s words made the businessman breathe a sigh of relief: "That''s good, that''s good."
"But I have come into contact with that kind of pure chaos creature, does this count?"
"Ah?!" The businessman heard that he immediately opened the door desperately, but how could he shake Luo Jun''s wrist strength? After struggling for a few times, he realized that it was in vain and could only shrink back in: "Guest, how long have you been in contact with me? ?”
"It didn''t take long, less than an hour." Luo Jun asked curiously: "I brought the gold ingot before, doesn''t it mean that I have been exposed to the chaos monster? Why weren''t you afraid at that time?"
"With the gold ingot, doesn''t it mean that the monster is completely dead?" The businessman whispered: "Then you won''t mutate..."
"Oh?" Luo Jun''s eyes lit up: "Is there such a thing?"
As he spoke, he took out another gold ingot and said, "This is the one I touched."
Seeing this, the businessman breathed a sigh of relief: "That''s good, that''s good...but the one behind you is obviously not dead yet."
"He has not completely mutated yet and still has human consciousness." Luo Jun said, "I came to you just to ask if there is any solution."
"I don''t know about this either..." The businessman sighed and said: "The black shop is more professional about the Chaos Creatures. We all know only a little about it. Why don''t you go over there and ask?"
"Black store?" Luo Jun rolled his eyes: "Then do you know any other information?"
When he said this, he secretly rolled a dice, and the result was inevitable...
"That''s all I know. This mutation can be transmitted through contact. If the monster dies and explodes with gold ingots, then there is no need to worry about the infection... For other things, you really have to ask the black shop."
It seems that there is really no more information to be asked, but at least Luo Jun has ruled out the possibility of being "infected".
"Okay, then show me the diaries you collected."
The businessman nodded and hurriedly handed over the diary. Luo Jun took the diary and read it with the others.
"Success, we finally redeemed the exit indicator!"
"This is our only hope to leave this maze... No, not just hope, we will definitely be able to get out of here!"
"After getting it, we immediately activated this treasure. After a while of swinging, the pointer accurately pointed in a direction. We immediately started to set off and walked in this direction as much as possible."
"The maze is so big and complicated that it is difficult for us to keep one direction, and every time we are forced to change the direction we are going, we find that even if we go a long way, the direction of the pointer hardly changes."
"This shows that the exit is very far away from us. It is impossible to reach it in an hour."
"Both Chen Jin and Ling Yue looked a little discouraged, but Ah Liang comforted them, even if time has passed, as long as we remember this location and go in that direction, we will always be getting closer to the exit. By then, As long as I can redeem another exit indicator, I have great hope of getting out.”
"A Liang''s words gave us hope, but soon, this hope was shattered."
"When we were walking for about fifty minutes, the hands suddenly moved!"
"The pointer indicating the exit suddenly changed direction drastically!"
"When we kept moving towards the exit before, even if we took a long detour, the pointer did not change significantly. This change is obviously not because we are approaching the exit, but because... the position of the exit has changed. !”
"And it''s a pretty big change!"
"When we realized this, we almost collapsed..."
"The location of the exit actually changes? Then isn''t this exit indicator meaningless?"
"Aren''t our efforts these days completely in vain..."
"When can I leave this hellish place..."
………
After reading the diary, everyone fell silent.
Will the direction of the exit change?
Such a huge maze, endless, with an exit that changes location at any time? How can one find this?
If you don’t want to pass the level, just say so. Isn’t this just kidding?
"Businessman, please explain." Luo Jun looked at the fat businessman with anger in his eyes: "You never mentioned before that the exit of the maze will change."
The fat businessman chuckled twice: "You haven''t asked me before..."
"Then I''m asking now." Luo Jun leaned on the window sill with his elbows: "How did the position of the exit change? Is there any pattern?"
"This is a bit difficult for you." The fat businessman said, "Although I have an exit indicator in my hand, I can''t bear to use it. To be honest, this exit will change. A customer told me many years ago. , otherwise I wouldn’t even know such a thing happened…”
"Are you telling the truth?" When Luo Jun asked this question, he activated the dice in his mind and got a true answer.
"It''s absolutely true!" The businessman didn''t lie.
The clues about the exit ended here. There were too many mysteries in this endless maze. Just talking to the businessman to get information took two more dice rolls, but in the end, nothing substantial was found out.
Looking at the decreasing number of dice rolls, Luo Jun sighed silently in his heart. At this moment, his eyes blurred and he suddenly discovered that the number of dice rolls had been refreshed!
Refresh...it means it’s past zero!
After exploring this maze for almost twenty days, the real world has finally arrived on the first day of the new year!
