Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster

Chapter 113: Firewood Collectors and Firewood Takers

Lingzhu Forum.

[Brothers, I encountered a weird thing today! ]

The player with the id "Creepy" did not log in to the game again immediately, but posted everything he had just seen and heard on the forum, and x-on:Li Miao and Shangan, who had met the firewood picker before.

This post soon sparked a heated discussion in the forum.

"Is this guy also a firewood picker?"

"Why can't you move when he pinches his heart? What kind of weird ability is this?"

"It feels like it should be a hidden organization completely different from the firewood pickers."

"..."

Players expressed their opinions one after another.

Some speculated on the origin of the clay pot man, some were curious about his abilities, and some thought that this should be the main plot given by the official Lingzhu.

Among these posts, the comments of three old players were also pushed to the top.

Storyteller: "I don't know if you realize that the background story of the spirit candle should be divided into two types."

"I call it 'static' plot and 'dynamic plot'."

"Static plot is naturally the background story pieced together through monster information, item information, text and a small amount of plot in each dungeon. This kind of plot will always exist and every player can see it clearly."

"And the dynamic plot refers to the candle keeper, the candle keeper witch, the expansion of the power of the spirit candle, as well as the firewood gatherer and the recently appeared clay pot man, etc..."

"This kind of plot will not appear in every player's dungeon, it is not fixed, but it should also be closely related to our development."

"Unlike the static plot, which can be replayed after death, the dynamic plot can only be experienced once. I guess if you go online again, the clay pot man will definitely be gone."

"Perhaps, in the future we will encounter major events about these dynamic plots. It is likely that it will only give us one chance..."

The storyteller's comments attracted a large number of player replies. They agreed with the storyteller's views and also believed that such major events might really be encountered in the future.

Most players are eager to try it out and are looking forward to the follow-up content.

Miao Ge did not fail: "The firewood collector we met at the beginning... was different."

My son failed and I landed: "The firewood collector before was able to communicate, but this... From your description, I think it is very strange, he seems to be coming for you."

I did push-ups with Niu Niu: "You should go online and have a look, maybe you can get the same reward as them?"

"..."

After carefully reading the comments and posts, Mao Gu Ran's eyes lit up.

He actually doesn't care about dynamic plots, but if you talk about rewards, then I won't be sleepy!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly went online again.

However, when he saw the prompt message of the game, he felt his eyes go black.

[Your candle spirit body has been stolen, and 50 wax oil has been consumed for reshaping and completion. Please be careful of the "firewood snatcher" attacking again! (For details, see the official information of the forum)]

"Forget about no compensation, why are you deducting my wax oil!"

He was unlucky and cried.

At the same time, Lingzhu official also released two data cards, namely "Firewood Collector" and "Firewood Taker", with two related pictures.

[Firewood Collector]

[Danger Level: Unknown]

[Description: A walker with unknown purpose and blessed by an unknown power, has the ability to communicate, but after crushing the sparks, he disappeared. Enemy? Or potential friend? ]

[Firewood Taker]

[Danger Level: High]

[Description: A visitor with unknown purpose, trying to steal the body of the candle spirit. The clay pot on his head is not a headgear, but a tissue like skin. Do not look at him, be careful! ]

[Attention! If the body of the candle spirit is stolen, the consumption of wax oil required for re-ignition will be higher! Please be careful! ]

After seeing the two data cards released by Lingzhu official.

The forum exploded immediately.

Some players even went offline to see these two data cards in the forum.

This is the first time that Lingzhu official has released a data card.

It seems that the inference given by the storyteller is really in line with the dynamic plot development of the world of Lingzhu.

Storyteller: "It seems that the firewood pickers can still try to communicate, and the firewood snatchers are most likely hostile forces, and the death penalty will be relatively more severe."

My son failed the exam and I landed: "Don't look at him? Where does this thing have eyes? I can't look at chicken feathers..."

Fighting is cool: "What a mess, just chop it off."

Sitting people don't forget to say: "Come on, hehe, it's just right for me to try out the new skills... Hehe."

I use Niu Niu push-ups: "I don't know what the clay pot on the head of this thing is for. (Thinking)"

My hamster is called Guagua: "Let's call this clay pot man a clay pot head? How about it? How about this name? (Expecting)"

Pa Daxun: "What firewood snatcher, can it drop magic beads?"

Invincible: "Hehe, a clown-like character, he just didn't meet me. (Picking nose)"

The deity suppresses all enemies: x-on:Invincible, haha, you ignorant newbie, this thing won't give you a chance to revive and continue fighting."

"..."

Most of the players took a nonchalant and nonchalant attitude towards this kind of thing, and only a few serious veteran players were thinking about the impact of this matter.

After all, for them, this is just a game plot, what's there to be afraid of?

Of course, the higher death penalty is still worth being cautious about.

...

Prayer Chapel.

After Rogge posted the official announcement of Lingzhu, he pondered,

"The firewood snatcher..."

Combined with Lingzhu's analysis of the clay pot man and Nonia's memories, the clay pot man that appeared before should belong to the group of "firewood snatchers" before the disaster.

That's right, firewood snatchers is not a particularly accurate name, but a group.

Their initial purpose seems to be to seize the power of the primordial fire.

They are definitely more than one person or one force.

Such people or forces are collectively referred to as-"firewood snatchers"...

And Lingzhu's feedback to Rogge is-the purpose of their seizure of the body of the candle spirit is to obtain information about Rogge, the player, and Lingzhu.

"Sure enough..."

Rogge's eyes sank slightly.

His guess was right. Although most of the lives in this world have been turned into zombies and walking dead by the disaster, those who are powerful to a certain extent are very likely not to be affected by this.

The power that took away the firewood collector with Mars is like this, and the power that seeped out of the vortex is also like this...

And next, he and his players must be more careful.

Because the power that instigated the clay pot man must snatch the body of the candle spirit at all costs, there must be a reason.

They are likely to come back again, perhaps attacking players in the dungeon, or they may find the candle firewood island...

However, there is no need to worry too much.

Candle firewood island is the home of the candle and Rogge, and the candle is deeply rooted here. So far, it has not been impacted by any external force.

If there is really a powerful one... then it can't be avoided.

We can only take one step at a time.

But from Rogge's own guess.

This firewood snatcher is likely not that strong, at least for now.

His guess is not groundless.

First of all, this clay pot man came alone.

This shows that the person behind the scenes is most likely following the "rules" in these chaotic spaces.

Moreover, when Rogge tried to snatch back the body of the candle spirit, the power in the vortex also decisively chose to cut off its tail and survive, directly abandoning the clay pot man in exchange for the body of the candle spirit.

If Rogge stood in the other party's perspective, he would not give the other party any chance to obtain his information if he had a little spare power...

In short, the potential crisis is not small.

But... let's take it one step at a time.

"Mr. Rogge..."

As if she noticed that Rogge was in a bad mood, Nonia hesitated for a moment and took his hand.

Feeling the softness in her hand, Rogge frowned slightly and turned to look at her.

I saw Nonia put the unique dagger that she had once boarded in Rogge's palm.

"Here, give it to you." Nonia nodded to him with firm eyes: "Maybe it will help you."

Rogge looked at the strange dagger in his hand and was silent for a moment.

After the grade of the candle spirit was upgraded, more potential power naturally appeared, which naturally included the previous burning analysis.

If the dagger that Nonia once lived in is thoroughly analyzed, perhaps some important information can indeed be obtained.

But...

"Are you ready?" Rogge looked at her and added: "Completely break with the past?"

Nonia retracted her hand and smiled.

This time, she did not use the previous way of saluting, but instead extended her hand in the way that players greeted each other.

"I am your candle keeper witch now, Mr. Rogge."

"..."

Rogge was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then he extended his hand and shook hands with Nonia.

"...Thank you."

After saying that, Rogge was silent again and suggested: "When dealing with that group of... warriors, don't use this kind of etiquette."

"Why?" Nonia was a little confused.

If the candle keeper witch NPC who saluted all day suddenly shook hands with you, wouldn't it be exposed...

"...You should look better when you salute."

Rogge explained evasively.

"...Okay." Nonia nodded lightly, and the hand in front of her couldn't help but pinch the corner of her clothes.

After finishing speaking, Rogge turned around, with a blue flame burning on his hand.

Not long after, the strange dagger that Nonia had once inhabited was burned out and analyzed by the power of the spirit candle.

Rogge also closed his eyes.

Nonia knelt beside him, waiting quietly.

After a moment, he opened his eyes.

After burning the dagger that inhabited Nonia's soul, he only got a piece of information.

[The pure souls who practiced, hanging on the edge of death, waiting for the arrival of the firewood master...]

It seems that in addition to the firewood pickers and firewood snatchers, there are other hidden forces...

...

Two more days passed, and neither the firewood pickers nor the firewood snatchers appeared again.

At the top of exile, in front of the furnace of sin.

Dingdang... Dingdang...

A series of knocks of forging weapons sounded.

Not long after, Li Miao picked up his Law Knight Greatsword from the forging table.

At present, their level has reached more than 20 levels, and they are beginning to prepare to attack the Taurus Guard.

"Tsk tsk, +4 Law Knight Greatsword, I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

Li Miao happily touched the Law Knight's sword in his hand.

Dangdang!

Li Miao's crotch armor suddenly made a knocking sound. He looked down and found that it was Yuanfang.

He was still in the transformed form of the Law Knight, so Yuanfang could only pat his position.

"Let me."

Yuanfang said calmly.

"Oh oh." Li Miao made way awkwardly.

He was just too excited, and the big body of the Law Knight blocked the way, so Yuanfang couldn't touch the fire at all.

Fortunately, Yuanfang never cared about these details.

Soon he started to strengthen.

Then Li Miao saw Yuanfang calmly strengthen twice and failed, and twenty strengthening wax stones 3 were directly gone.

But fortunately, the weapon was not broken.

This made Yuanfang frown slightly and try again.

Wow!

The sound that players hate to hear the most appeared.

The execution gloves broke under the eyes of Yuanfang and other players.

"..." Yuanfang.

"Hahaha, how unlucky is this, big guy..."

"I can't hold it anymore..."

"I'm so happy, it didn't break the first two times, and it broke the weapon after another hammer."

Seeing this, other players couldn't help but gloat.

They don't care if you are a big guy or not, they have to help out when they see something funny.

"Hahaha..." Li Miao couldn't help laughing: "Yuanfang, what kind of luck do you have, a 35% chance of hitting three times in a row..."

"Unlucky." Yuanfang sighed, shrugged, and came to the side helplessly to recast the weapon.

But then, he looked at Li Miao again: "Give me some wax stones."

To be honest, he didn't expect that he could still use up all the wax stones 3 he had saved.

Luckily, Li Miao succeeded twice, and there were still a lot left.

However, when it came to strengthening, Yuanfang hesitated.

Afterwards, he pulled Li Miao over: "You come."

Things like metaphysics cannot be superstitious, but it is not to be unbelievable at all.

As expected, Li Miao did not fail when he arrived, and successfully hammered to +4.

After strengthening the weapon, Li Miao also looked into the distance: "Next, go directly to the ruins?"

"Don't worry, go to Zhuxin Island to find some mushrooms first." Yuanfang shook his head.

Li Miao heard this and had no objection, just follow the boss's arrangement.

But he could roughly guess why Yuanfang was looking for mushrooms.

After all, recently Mushroom has posted his Demon Hut Raiders on the forum.

Many players have also tried potion learning and have achieved some considerable results.

If they want to try to attack the Taurus Guard, then they can get some consumables from Mushroom, and their chances of winning will be greater.

As they talked, the two walked towards Lingzhu, ready to teleport directly.

However, on the way, Li Miao also remembered an important question: "Three people can enter the ruins, should we bring another person?"

"Let's ask Brother Yu to come together." Yuanfang said.

One person is enough in the back row. The Taurus Guard has a very low tolerance rate. Players who don't have a certain level of combat skills can easily fall behind.
