Chapter 183 Mechanism

Chapter 183 · Mechanism

"If we are not allowed to go directly, then of course we will be forced to pass through the jungle in front of us."

"And the plot of the original work has been expressed very clearly - there are only a group of short natives in the jungle who can use blowpipes and cold weapons. It seems that there is no difficulty in crossing their defense line."

"So, as the last gateway, this group of natives... or monkeys, they must have some hidden traps. And we still have relatively ample time now, it is best to explore their details."

The reincarnations stopped at the edge of the oasis. They have tested the rule that they will not be sniped by the laser on the top of the pyramid if they do not fly in the air. The height limit of this flight is not very accurate, fifteen meters, which is exactly the average growth limit of large trees in the lush green jungle above this oasis.

Jiang Yu knew the answer.

He knew that these native monkeys were a group of agile and thin primitive people under normal circumstances. Using blowpipes, wielding stone knives and axes, and even without sharp bows and arrows. It sounds easy to solve, and it is actually true, but as long as they are killed, the weapons they hold will be quickly iterated, and they can also fully master and use them.

Kill dozens of monkeys, and the monkeys will change from primitive people to warriors wearing armor and holding long swords and axes.

Kill hundreds of monkeys, and the monkeys will change from classical warriors to early shooting troops holding flintlock rifles.

Kill thousands of monkeys, and the shooting army will quickly iterate to the First World War, or even the Second World War, carrying large-caliber rifles, equipped with heavy snipers, tanks and rocket launchers, and it is like an elite armored division.

And if tens of thousands of them are killed... I don’t know what will happen in the original world line. But Zheng Zha feels that the monkeys will drive Gundam to chase him. However, at that time, he resurrected Chu Xuan and got advice on using incendiary bombs. After not facing the enemy head-on, but borrowing the power of nature, the monkeys’ technical iterations remained in the Second World War with a few thousand casualties, and did not upgrade further.

Naturally, the monkeys’ technical iterations must have an upper limit. The upper limit is the total number of monkeys, which may be a fixed number of tens of thousands. As for the source of their power, it is naturally the power of Anubis.

Very tricky... but Jiang Yu knows a less tricky way to deal with it.

No need to use incendiary bombs-since the monkeys will upgrade their technology as the number of deaths increases, just don't kill them from the beginning. Wearing armor, keep moving at high speed, use spells to cover yourself, or simply support the shield barrier and rush forward directly. These blow arrows and stone axes can't break the defense of the reincarnations, and as long as they don't die, their combat effectiveness will naturally not be upgraded.

"I didn't see any abnormal phenomenon... um... there are indeed many natives who look like monkeys." Zhan Lan pressed her forehead. When the aerospace fighter plane made an emergency landing, she began to scan the inside of the oasis. Unlike the black pyramid of the god of death, the woods in the oasis do not have the effect of shielding mental scanning.

"Can you estimate the approximate number?" Jiang Yu asked.

"A lot... but I can try. Well, the nests found so far are..."

"There are seven nests in total, with 64,000 to 67,000 natives." Chu Xuan suddenly spoke and gave an answer. A projection was projected from his glasses, and several golden apples of unknown function floated beside him.

"Satellites can be used here, and that laser transmitter will not launch sniping attacks on targets over 100 kilometers away. At the same time, these native monkeys are also warm-blooded animals with biological characteristics. Infrared detection can capture their shapes, and then the difficulty of counting them one by one is not very huge."

So that's it, high technology is indeed superior to mental scanning.

And since the total number of monkeys is close to 70,000. That means that after they reach the level of the armored divisions of World War II, they can at least iterate three or four times... Considering the power of Anubis behind them, when the monkeys are killed to a single digit, they may really drive the Gundam to fight.

Troublesome challenge, fortunately there are many loopholes.

But...

-Well, are you really not going to try it?

I was slightly restless in my heart, after knowing the approximate upper limit of the monkeys. Jiang Yu's restless nature began to stir again. Although this group of monkeys is troublesome to fight, and each of them only has a few reward points. But they are undoubtedly good whetstones. This kind of strong enemy is indeed suitable for the reincarnations whose combat power has just been iterated to practice here.

Jiang Yu hesitated a little.

At this time, Zhan Lan brought new information.

"... I scanned the inside of these natives. Their physique is not much different from that of ordinary people, but there is a special energy lingering vaguely. This energy may be related to Anubis, but the total amount of energy held in each monkey is not large. In addition, I have not observed any signs of civilization."

Civilization, text, records, proof.

Without civilization, there is no inheritance. Without inheritance, there will be no systematic supernatural power.

"Some kind of curse." Zhao Yingkong suddenly spoke. "I... can feel that this forest is full of things that are the same as the dark power inside the bone harp."

The blessing of Anubis is also the curse of Anubis. It is not difficult to understand this logic. When the Scorpion King dies and the Dark Pyramid collapses, the Amshe Oasis will sink into the depths of the earth as Anubis's power fades. And this means that the life and death of these indigenous people have been tightly in the hands of Anubis from the beginning.

They are His props.

They are extensions of Him.

They are left here by Him to give the challenger a final test.

"Then... I probably understand the operating mechanism of this last level of test." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said: "There are no powerful creatures, and there is no crisis curse on the surface. So, what appears here is It can only be the power of rules.”

"...Rules?" Zheng Zha scratched his head.

"What kind of god is Anubis?"

"It's the God of Death."

"Yes, but in this oasis, all I saw was a piece of vitality - I have a guess that this last test will only appear after life transforms into death. Moreover, it can be bypassed, It’s even adjustable.”

Chu Xuan stretched out his hand, and a golden apple floating on his shoulder flew into the woods.

Jiang Yu didn't stop him, because what he wanted to do was what Jiang Yu originally planned to do. Regardless of whether the monkeys here will continue to evolve indefinitely as before. He has to verify it with his own hands.

And the next second, an explosion occurred.

'boom--! ! ’ Deep in the woods, a ball of light burst out. Dozens of indigenous monkeys affected by the controlled power of the golden apple explosion were reduced to pieces in an instant.

The forest suddenly became noisy, with the screams of monkeys coming from the depths and their chaotic movements as they ran around.

"Huh?" Zhan Lan shouted softly, his tone full of surprise. "The monkeys... have leather armor on their bodies? When did they complete the change of clothes... Wait, they also have copper weapons and shields?"

"Zhan Lan, have their physiques changed? Have they moved faster and become stronger? Has the special energy in their bodies grown?" Chu Xuan asked quickly.

"Let me see...no. There is no change in speed and strength. The monkeys wearing leather armor run a little slower. But the energy in their bodies...well, I can't tell it clearly. But it seems to be true. There is a little difference.”

"It seems that these monkeys can become stronger according to the increase of death." Jiang Yu nodded. Chu Xuan's operation saved him a lot of effort. "So, in other words, as long as there is no death among them, the speed of getting stronger will be interrupted and stopped. We can easily pass through this forest, and they can't break our defense anyway."

"It's logically true." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and confirmed Jiang Yu's statement. "Also, when I just started, the Lord God informed me that I had killed 86 jungle guardians, and each one gave me 1 reward point. Considering that we were still worried about reaching the Pyramid of Death in seven days, branch line, then this shows that in the Lord God’s judgment, killing them is optional, not a necessary measure.”

"So, let's set off?" Zheng Zha interrupted, trying hard to show his presence.

"Yes." The man without glasses nodded. But the conversation changed. "However, I feel that avoiding them or rushing past them is not the most appropriate option. We will undoubtedly trigger the next main mission in the Pyramid of Death, and a challenge that is definitely better than B is waiting for us. Crossing over. In this case, it may not be a good plan to have a group of hidden dangers that contain Anubis's power."

"And..." He paused. "I feel that these natives exist here. It is not only a test, but also a hint. A... hint to us."

There was a rare hint of uncertainty in his tone. But even so, every word he said was still very convincing.

“In the later stages of the second part of the original plot, when Immorton walked into the Pyramid of Death and sounded the gong to challenge the Scorpion King, Anubis stripped him of the mana curse and made him mortal. Fight the Scorpion King in half-body form, and I suspect that the same treatment will be given to us when we enter the Temple of Anubis.”

"We don't have the power of Anubis." Zhan Lan rubbed his forehead. "...But it is true that the Lord God does not rule out doing this."

"Yes." Chu Xuan agreed. "But even so, there are still ways to break the situation. Even in the original plot, the use of the Spear of Judgment is not prohibited. In addition, these indigenous people 'enhanced their equipment under the influence of divine power, but did not improve their physique' This hint can prove that the various equipment we carry in the next battle are not prohibited - even if the Lord God regards these as external forces and imposes restrictions, there is still one kind of equipment. , will not be under the adjustment of the Lord God.”

"The equipment derived from the power of Anubis, our gains in this world, the trophies and weapons we can obtain by defeating the jungle guardian in this jungle." Jiang Yu sighed silently.

He thought that as a prophet, he could easily avoid the pitfalls in the original script and get the maximum results at the minimum cost. but……

"The test of fate, the greater the test, the more you will gain."

"Gods favor the brave."

Jiang Yu stretched out his hand and raised the Spear of Judgment.

"We still have plenty of time. So..."

"Let's see what these jungle guardians can bring us."
