Chapter 2655 Visitors From the Dreamland
Liu Xing looked at the flying eagle and asked a question that the two people in front of him seemed to be deliberately avoiding, "Why did this flying eagle appear here?"
Yes, why did this flying eagle, which seemed to never leave the southern rainforest, appear in Tianshui Town thousands of miles away at this time?
Isn't this unreasonable?
Of course, the existence of this flying eagle is not very reasonable, because who would chase the sun when they have nothing to do? You know, from a scientific point of view, even if the structure of birds' eyes is different from that of humans, they cannot face the sun's rays. After all, if humans look directly at the sun without any protective measures, they may cause irreversible damage after five seconds.
So unless this flying eagle is born with a pair of sunglasses, it is impossible to be so arrogant, right?
Therefore, Liu Xing thinks that the reason why the flying eagle has such a setting is probably because the player who designed it wants to play a joke, that is, in the Olympus mythology, isn't there a boy who made feather wings to fly to the sun, but eventually caused the feather wings to fall apart, and he had to fall into the sea?
Of course, in order to neutralize the tragedy of this story, the setting of the Flying Eagle also includes the story of Sisyphus, that is, the stone ball that keeps pushing to the top of the mountain, but the stone ball will definitely roll down the mountain when it is about to go up the mountain. To put it bluntly, it is a process that is repeated but has no results.
So the Flying Eagle is restricted to the activities near the rainforest, because it is an existence with more symbolic meaning than practical meaning, and the player who designed it wants to use the image of the Flying Eagle to resonate with some people. . . In other words, this may be a cheating method?
Yes, Liu Xing thinks this may be a special cheating method. In short, it is the real... When the internal test players designed creatures such as the Flying Eagle, they were reminded by the male voice that there should be no obvious hints to let other players know that this thing is designed by you, such as you can let the creatures you designed mention your name or code when making sounds. After all, there are many animals in the real world whose sounds will be interpreted by people with different meanings.
For example, the "cuckoo" of the cuckoo.
Of course, there are also some insects like butterflies that use patterns on their wings to form a special pattern to scare off the birds that want to eat them, so players can also design a butterfly with their own name or big face?
According to Liu Xing's understanding of this martial arts module, those real beta players should have become the "developers" of a certain area like dividing a cake. The side quests and some special plots in this area, as well as some Warcraft, will be written by a certain player. Of course, in order to prevent some players from suddenly letting themselves go and designing some messy problems that other players cannot solve, the male voice must have made some restrictions.
And it is well known that veteran players of Cthulhu running group games are all very thoughtful. They can come up with several solutions for one thing, and there are also some solutions that can be called heaven-defying. For example, a player chose to confess in order to resolve the attack of a mythical creature, which caused a huge impact on Liu Xing's mind.
Therefore, Liu Xing can be sure that the players who will participate in this martial arts module must want to operate in secret and get the biggest reward with the smallest cost. For example, if Player A and Player B are good friends, they want to go to each other's responsible area to adventure, because they have placed a treasure chest that can be easily obtained in the area they designed. Of course, the "easy to obtain" here must find the key to open the door, so that you can enter the house and take the things inside.
So in the case of not being able to say it clearly, the only way Liu Xing can think of is to use this more abstract way to remind other players that this is his territory. After all, the Flying Eagle, which is a fusion of the story of "Icarus" and "Sisyphus", is not something that everyone can design, and only people who are familiar with this player know what this is.
If my guess is correct, there may be a treasure chest that can be easily obtained in the area where the Flying Eagle lives. Of course, the "easy" here is compared with other treasure chests in the same area. After all, the rainforest is a mysterious area that even the most experienced hunters dare not enter at will. At most, they just wander around the periphery. There are countless new species whose identities have been confirmed, not to mention those unknown creatures whose existence has not yet been confirmed.
For example, the rainforest sickle weasel!
The sickle weasel is a creature that only exists in legends in the real world. It looks like a weasel holding a sickle. In short, it can be any weasel-like creature. Its ability is to create a large number of small wounds without people noticing. So from a scientific point of view, the prototype of the sickle weasel is some weeds with sharp leaves. Therefore, when people pass by, they may be scratched by these weeds without knowing it.
The ancients at that time might have thought that these fragile weeds could not possibly hurt them, so they created monsters like the sickle-weasel. Of course, there are similar creatures to the sickle-weasel in other parts of the world. After all, this problem does not only occur in one place.
As for the rainforest sickle weasel, it also had the same beginning, but the rainforest sickle weasel was too ruthless, and it would break bones at any time, so everyone knew that the rainforest sickle weasel was real, but because there was no substantial evidence to prove the existence of the rainforest sickle weasel, and there was not even a witness, the rainforest sickle weasel was just a name.
It is even possible that the rainforest sickle weasel is not a mustelid creature, such as a rabbit, so it seems that someone in Chiyou City has offered a high reward for the rainforest sickle weasel, regardless of life or death, but unfortunately this reward has been posted for more than ten years and there is still no result.
This may be the reason why the male voice is fearless. Even if you real. beta players are playing secret codes, don't think of getting these rewards easily.
Just when Liu Xing was distracted, Yang Qunying had squatted down and picked up the Flying Eagle, because although he had heard of the existence of the Flying Eagle, this was the first time he saw a real Flying Eagle, so he wanted to study what was so special about the Flying Eagle.
As for Li Sheng, he was thinking the same thing as Liu Xing, who was distracted, because he couldn't figure out why this Flying Eagle appeared here.
"Hmm? This Flying Eagle is interesting. Its mouth is serrated?"
Yang Qunying's words pulled Liu Xing back from his distraction, and Li Sheng explained: "Yes, the mouth of this Flying Eagle, uh, to be precise, its beak has become serrated, because there are all kinds of monsters in the rain forest in the south, so it is not easy for the Flying Eagle to catch prey. Unlike our eagles, which have almost no opponents, they don't have to consider how the prey will resist when hunting. They just catch it."
As for Liu Xing, who came back to his senses, he also stared at the Flying Eagle for a while, and then he was sure that this Flying Eagle was the sawtooth eagle in the grid array, but this Flying Eagle looked more like an animal than a monster in the game?
Is this the classic reuse of materials?
Anyway, this martial arts module was designed in a hurry, so that the players who will participate in it later will become designers, so it is not impossible to let some unimportant creatures with far-flung activity areas share the same model, and just make some modifications.
Anyway, in the martial arts module during the real beta period, it is not easy for players to enter the grid array, and after they choose their birth point, they may only be able to wander around in the territory of a certain prince before leaving the module, so these players should not have the opportunity to see two creatures with similar models.
Moreover, there is a reasonable explanation for this, that is, there is also a dream gate in the rain forest in the south, so the sawtooth eagle in the grid array and the sky-throwing eagle in the rain forest were one family five hundred years ago, and the sawtooth eagle became more aggressive because of the harsher living environment.
However, because the current sky-throwing eagle has been passed through fire, it looks a bit "blurry", so this makes Liu Xing have a very bold guess, that is, this sky-throwing eagle may not be a sky-throwing eagle, but a sawtooth eagle!
That's right, Liu Xing suspected that this was not the Flying Eagle that came from thousands of miles away, but the Sawtooth Eagle that flew out from the strange house nearby? !
Thinking of this, Liu Xing subconsciously looked in the direction of the strange house, but he didn't see anything. After all, there were deep mountains and old forests over there, and all he could see were trees.
But if that was true, then wouldn't the crocodiles come out too?
Speak of the devil, and the devil will appear. At this time, an NPC came running over with a roll.
The reason why Liu Xing could be sure that this person was an NPC was mainly because the clothes worn by today's players were different from those of NPCs. In short, they were more lightweight, with a sweatshirt and shorts in each hand, so if the background was photoshopped, then no one would think that they were actually ancient people in the real world.
But the NPCs were different. Although they knew that wearing this way would be cooler, it was somewhat against etiquette. In addition, this set of costumes was worn by players like Liu Xing, so it was naturally regarded as the only designated suit of the East Palace Canglong Temple.
Therefore, these NPCs dare not wear the same clothes casually, because this is an act of usurpation!
"Brother Peng, a group of fully armed people came down from the mountain. I think they look like bandits from somewhere!"
Really?
Although Liu Xing knew that this group of people might be led by Crocodile, after all, Crocodile and his friends' appearance would naturally make people think of the word "bandits", but it could also be someone else, such as real bandits?
You must know that before this, bandits had already set their sights on Tianshui Town, so they might not have much chance of winning if they attacked from the front, but it would be much easier if they attacked from behind.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!
So, Liu Xing decided to ask Yang Qunying to go with him to see what was going on. As for Li Sheng, he asked Yin En and others to bring some people to help. Liu Xing made such an arrangement because he believed that Yang Qunying could easily deal with a group of ordinary bandits, and secondly, he wanted Li Sheng, who had just joined Tianshui Town, to feel more involved and better integrated into Tianshui Town.
I really have good intentions.
Liu Xing thought as he limped to the back mountain gate of Tianshui Town.
That's right. At this time, Tianshui Town specially built a gate for the back mountain, which is convenient for people who go to the back mountain to hunt. At the same time, in order to prevent any strange things from running into Tianshui Town, a reserve gatekeeper was also arranged to guard the gate of the back mountain.
Pei Ji.
Pei Ji came to Tianshui Town with Zhang Jingxu's recommendation letter two days ago. He is a lone wolf player. For some reason, he did not choose his birth point in the martial arts module, so he was randomly sent to a small village near Boyang City. He accepted a special task as soon as he arrived, and then was forced to stay in the village for more than a month before he had the opportunity to leave this novice village.
However, this time-consuming and laborious special task still brought Pei Ji a lot of benefits, such as learning a set of unknown swordsmanship, and strengthening his own strength and speed. In short, Pei Ji is already a third-rate master at this time, but because of his wild background, he cannot fully exert his own strength.
So when Pei Ji joined the alliance in Boyang City, Zhang Jingxu recommended him, because the alliance also needed its own martial arts masters in Tianshui Town. In order to show his appreciation for Pei Ji, Liu Xing made him a reserve guard first, and then made him a regular after the third prince really made him a general.
As a newcomer who had just joined the alliance, Pei Ji knew that he had to do something to get the recognition of other players, so he gladly accepted Liu Xing's arrangement and became the security captain of Tianshui Town.
As for why Pei Ji was responsible for guarding the back mountain gate instead of the front gate, it was because the front gate was guarded by Gongzi Ying's people.
"Brother Peng, they said they came to find you, and they seemed to be from some grid formation."
Pei Ji saw Liu Xing coming, so he walked over and said, "I don't know what kind of town this grid formation is, so I didn't let them in, and they didn't seem to be bad people, and they stayed outside honestly."
Really a crocodile!
Liu Xing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little surprised. After all, only a day or two had passed and the crocodile had already run out of the dreamland. It seemed that this guy's mobility was really strong. So, should he give him a chicken leg as a reward?
