Chapter 697 A Gift from the Counterpart
Xu Huo did not laugh.
After a brief silence, Yi Pei asked again: "Are those people in Sifang Palace City still alive?"
“Half of it,” Xu Huo said. The boss of the dungeon wouldn’t go crazy and kill everyone. Otherwise, where would he find so much nourishment?
?However, no one can stop it if it really wants to do so.
"I thought there was only one child left." Yi Pei whispered, "But even one child is fine."
For a moment, the three people''s eyes fell on the unconscious child.
?Stepping onto the stone path in the center of the pool, I met other players before I had gone far.
“You’re still alive!” Wei Xian crawled out of the water dripping wet and walked towards the group of people excitedly.
“Bang!” The water droplets shot by the water jet gun shattered the stone in front of his feet. Xu Huo raised his chin to signal him to stand where he was, “Have you been hiding under the water?”
"Didn''t I say that I was a fishing expert by profession? I hid in the water as soon as I crossed the stone bridge." Wei Xian said, "I''m not good at fighting. I can still hide. How about Sifang Palace?" Where are the others?"
“There is no danger at the moment.” Xu Huo put away the props, “We should be the only players alive.”
"Are you going to the county seat now?" Wei Xian looked at Yi Pei, who was seriously injured behind him, and said proactively: "I''ll carry it, you''re not seriously injured..."
?This time Xu Huo didn''t stop him and just looked at him.
Wei Xian had already walked up to the two of them. He stretched out his hands and then retracted them, "Let''s forget it. I''m covered in water."
After speaking, he automatically retreated to the rear.
Xu Huo looked away, and the group of people walked silently along the stone road to the other side.
?Wei Xian followed the three of them, his eyes constantly moving on them, but until they reached the shore, he just followed them obediently.
??Xu Huo was not in a hurry to return to the county town. After putting Yi Pei down, he patted Wei Xian on the shoulder and said in a friendly manner: "I want to ask you a favor."
The previous tense atmosphere was swept away, and Wei Xian quickly said: "Mutual benefit, that''s what it should be."
“There should be a sluice under the water pool, please look for it.” Xu Huo handed him the one-time prop that Fu Danhong gave him.
“Destroy the pool?” Wei Xian was puzzled, “Isn’t there no danger?”
Xu Huo didn’t explain. Bian Jin, who was standing next to him, said, “Be sure to be safe in case there is another problem later. The three of us are seriously injured, so we have to let you go.”
Wei Xian hesitated for a moment and then took it. He jumped into the water beautifully. When he put his head out of the water, he accidentally met Xu Huo''s eyes. The man standing on the shore looked at him expressionlessly.
?With fear flashing in his eyes, he waved his hand and sank into the water.
When he was far away, Xu Huo sat down under a tree to rest. Yi Pei said, "This man has no good intentions."
"He didn''t dare." Xu Huo cleaned the wounds on his body, "If he dared, he would have done it just now."
I showed my back to him without even making a move, the other party was very cautious.
"Be careful anyway." Bian Jin also said, "I''m afraid he will take advantage of the situation." "It''s not bad to let him help for the time being." Xu Huo didn''t pay more attention to this topic, but checked the injury on his arm.
?After discovering the bugs in the wound, he specially used medicine to wrap the wound. The effect of soaking it was not bad. Although the water bag was broken in Sifang Palace just now, the wound was obviously improved.
He scraped off the remaining carrion and applied some medicine, then wrapped another bag of medicine on it.
"What kind of injury do you have?" Yi Pei noticed it two days ago, "The self-healing agent is useless?"
“A very small insect that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but it can be soaked in water.” Xu Huo explained briefly.
"It''s a bone rot worm, it must be." Bian Jin suddenly said: "I''ve seen it in other districts before. Some people raise it specifically to eat corpses. Although they are small, their vitality and fecundity are not weak. They usually pour a bottle into the mountain of corpses. , they will eat all the flesh and bones of the carcass themselves in a short time.”
“This kind of insect is not poisonous, and it will be done if it is burned down later.”
“Bone rot worms...eat anything?” Xu Huo thought of the water bags sprinkled in the Sifang Palace.
He took out the bottle from the luggage compartment. The wood chips and food he had thrown in to test the insects only had a little foam left, but the stones were still fine.
“It’s a pity.”
With the shelling and fire, it is estimated that all the bugs in the Sifang Palace have been killed, but this is a very good idea.
“Why are insects used to eat corpses?” Yi Pei’s focus was different. “There are many ways to dispose of corpses, but if these insects are released, they will easily spread.”
Bian Jin was silent for a few seconds before saying: "The favorite food of the bone rot worm is the corpses of humans and animals. It can also eat other things, but the survival period will be greatly shortened, and it will self-extinction if it does not reach the level of disaster."
“This method is only used in some backward small districts, and the cost is relatively low.”
Yi Pei also understood and couldn''t help but sigh, "I heard from other players that some partitions are not very strong from the beginning. After resources are plundered by other partitions, they may become a ''garbage dump'' where adults and children can live. Life is short in a dump."
“There are countless such things in the game.” Bian Jin nodded.
People are smaller than they realize.
Listening to their conversation, Xu Huo looked towards the other side. There were many people like the Xiaoyun brothers and sisters and the residents of Sifang Palace City in the game. In this evolutionary game, they were eliminated before they even got the tickets.
?But not all is ashes under the fire.
Divided the liquid in the bottle into three bottles equally, and then threw food into each bottle. He asked Bian Jin, "How many can you reproduce in two days?"
“At least five times the number.” Bian Jin was slightly confused, “What are you doing raising this insect?”
"Prepare a suitable gift for the boss of the dungeon." Xu Huo put away the bottle and stood up. Wei Xian had already swam to the shore. Before he could climb out, there was a muffled sound under the water. After a dark light flashed, the first person in the pool appeared. A huge splash of water rose up, and then turned into a whirlpool - the water level in the pool began to drop!
"There is a secret sluice for releasing water down there," Wei Xian said: "The sound of water we heard earlier should have come from there. The stone bridge will only be exposed when the water is released. I just went down and the sluice was closed again. "
?This is not difficult to understand. The water pool was originally used to separate the two square palace cities. When the water gate is closed, when daybreak, the water will almost reach the stone road.
"In this way, the real Sifang Palace City cannot be hidden." Yi Pei said: "If we burn the county seat later, we still don''t know if this copy can exist."
“The survival copy can be made with or without the participation of ordinary people.” Xu Huo’s eyes were dark.
As long as the Sifang Palace is still there, there won’t be a big problem. However, it is not so easy for the dungeon boss to eat people, but players will still take the initiative to enter in order to obtain high scores.
What''s more, the Sifang Palace City is not completely isolated from the outside world. There is no guarantee that if one group leaves, the next group will not come.
