Chapter 154 Hosting the Bone and Blood Colossus
This giant corpse tree seemed to be providing nutrients for the girl.
After realizing this, the two looked at the girl with a little more vigilance.
But at this moment, a line of prompts appeared in their sight.
[Do you want to consume 10 wax oil to awaken the "human girl in the corpse tree"? ]
What does this mean?
Could it be that this girl is a hidden boss, but she needs wax oil to awaken her?
"Never mind, let's try it first." Guagua made a decision quickly and went forward to consume ten points of wax oil.
Soon, the wax oil dripped into the girl's forehead, and her cry for help gradually disappeared.
After a while, she opened her eyes.
But her eyes seemed a little abnormal, as if she had some mental problems.
And her next behavior was even stranger.
She slowly stood up, without any intention of talking to the two, but just stared blankly at a certain location.
Then, she dragged her staggering steps and began to walk slowly in that direction.
Seeing such a strange scene, Tianji and Guagua looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"She is so strange..." Guagua frowned.
Then, she walked forward, grabbed the girl directly, and patted her shoulder to call her.
Tianji watched silently, but his body was always tense.
But the girl obviously did not respond.
And even if they stopped her and called her, she did not have the slightest intention to return to normal, but just tried to move towards the target direction.
"This... Is she an NPC or a monster?"
The two were very puzzled by the girl's strange behavior and did not know what to do.
"Forget it, let's follow her and see."
After weighing the pros and cons, the two decided to follow the girl, anyway, the guidance of the spirit candle also came from this direction.
...
Compared with the more moderate choices of Guagua and the others, some players' choices are completely different.
After confirming that most of the Corpse Forest is made up of Corpse Trees and Parasites.
Niu Niu and Mushroom even came here earlier than others.
After following the cry for help to the giant skeleton tree and rescuing the girl from the skeleton tree.
Looking at her strange behavior, Niu Niu touched his chin.
The next moment.
Before Mushroom on the side even had time to react, he was horrified to see Niu Niu raise his hand to the girl's back and directly explode with flames.
Bang!
In an instant, a huge explosion burst out, and a pile of half-burned blood and flesh lay on the ground.
[You killed the human girl in the skeleton tree]
[Obtained: Sorrow of the Host]
[Obtained: Ina's Last Words]
"Ahem..." Mushroom looked at the pile of flesh and flesh, shocked: "What the hell is wrong with you? How did you kill the NPC?"
In response, Niu Niu still had a thoughtful look on his face, and even reached out to lift the blood and flesh to confirm whether the girl was dead.
"Of course, to see what would happen if this NPC was killed." Niu Niu responded while lifting the blood and flesh.
With the world chat, players communicated much faster when going to dungeons.
Niu Niu naturally learned from other players that the NPC in this tree is not unique like the firewood gatherer or the firewood snatcher, but exists in every copy.
Niu Niu turned his head and looked at him: "Don't worry, there is one in every copy."
"Then you can't just kill people casually, right?" Mushroom still frowned.
"Human?" Niu Niu was a little surprised: "The corpse trees before were all a bunch of disgusting face huggers. You actually think this thing that also came out of the corpse tree is a human?"
"Just because she looks like a human and can say a few words of human words for help?"
"..." Hearing this, Mushroom was silent for a while.
Indeed, from a realistic point of view, this girl can't be a normal NPC no matter how you look at it.
From the perspective of the game, Niu Niu is not wrong. The only thing wrong may be that he made a decision without consulting him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Niu Niu smiled.
"Maybe she will be an important plot character in this dungeon."
"But for me, as long as the game does not restrict me, I must give it a try!"
"Anyway, many people have followed her forward, so I just want to try to kill her early."
After Niu Niu said that, he checked the drops after killing the girl.
The Sorrow of the Haunted is a thing that looks like a tree root with hard tendrils growing all over it, which looks quite strange.
[Sorrow of the Haunted]
[Type: Special Item]
[Effect: After using war to burn it out, it can cause special damage to specific enemies. ]
[Description: The pitiful Haunted, even if he died, the sadness in his heart did not dissipate. ]
And [Ina's Last Words] is a soft blue light like a feather. The moment it touches Niu Niu's palm, it is automatically triggered and begins to dissipate.
A low voice of thanks appeared with it.
"Thank you..."
"You...be careful..."
[You have obtained "Ina's lingering power", which lasts for 10 minutes]
[Ina's lingering power: You have received Ina's help. For a period of time, the host creature will not be able to host you before you die. ]
"..."
After reading this, Niu Niu suddenly fell silent.
"I'll treat you as a child, and I'll help you even if I die." Mushroom also sneered at this time.
At this moment, along with the tremors of the earth, a burst of sharp laughter suddenly came.
"Hahahahahahaha..."
call--
The terrifying shrill laughter carried strong sound waves and blew through the corpse trees one after another.
Some of the more fragile bone trees were snapped into two sections.
The two of them subconsciously started fighting to resist, thus avoiding more harm.
But the impact of the shrill laughter clearly goes beyond that.
Poof! Poof!
One after another, as if guided by something, the host worms burst out of the host worm sacs and began to gather together.
Then, something mind-numbing happened.
One after another, the host insects bite each other and burrow crazily into each other's bodies.
In just a moment, a large number of the host insects trying to parasitize each other died, and black blood and mud flowed down.
"Good opportunity!"
Niu Niu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
The girl's drop did make him feel a little guilty, but not much.
Fighting these lodging bugs would free him from the psychological burden.
He didn't care what the bugs were doing.
If this copy is ruined, he will have to reset it, so he will take this opportunity to brush the wax oil!
Soon, Niu Niu, who had changed his job to the Explosive Niu Zi routine, began to use stinky manure and explosive flames to attack these lodging insects.
The explosion was accompanied by flames, and the disgusting barbecue-like aroma crazily ravaged the mushroom's sense of smell.
【You killed the lodging bug】
【You killed the lodging bug】
【……】
Each lodging insect provided Niu Niu with nearly 20 pieces of wax oil. In just a short while, Niu Niu harvested nearly 300 pieces of wax oil.
"Hurry up, Mushroom!"
Niuniu also didn't forget to ask the mushrooms to pick up the leaks together.
Seeing this, Mushroom hesitated for a moment, then took out a splashing agent with a poisoning effect and began to harvest these host insects.
However, even though the two of them had tried their best to kill monsters, the forest of corpses was too large and there were still countless boarding insects that had accomplished their goals.
Gurgling.
Right next to Niu Niu, a piece of meat wrapped in lodging insects had rolled towards the direction the girl had gone before, leaving black traces of blood along the way.
"These bugs are crazy."
"It must have been caused by you killing that npc."
Mushroom sighed while swiping the boarding bugs.
"At worst, I'll reset it. Now I've recovered my capital and even made some profit."
"...I won't kill her next time." Niu Niu hesitated before saying.
"Stop gossiping and work harder!"
Niuniu urged again.
Hearing this, Mushroom said nothing more.
Needless to say, the efficiency of brushing wax oil is indeed very fast.
In just such a short period of time, Niu Niu had accumulated nearly a thousand wax oil.
And Mushroom has also saved more than 500, and it is still rising.
It even made the smell of burnt meat that the mushrooms originally disgusted less disgusting.
Boom——
Just when the two of them were working hard.
Along with the trembling of the earth, a dull heavy tapping sound sounded, which made people's hearts shake involuntarily.
The two of them had just finished cleaning up the lodging bugs in front of them, and originally planned to visit other places.
But the sudden huge movement caused the two of them to stop involuntarily.
"What the hell?"
Mushroom was shocked.
"It's probably the effect of killing NPCs." Niu Niu was not surprised.
After taking a look at the lodging bugs in other places, he decisively gave up and continued to apply wax oil.
"Stop farming mushrooms, get on your horse, and be careful. Don't die too quickly. It's best to see what's going on."
After Niu Niu finished speaking, he immediately got on his horse. After some searching, he headed towards a small slope, trying to see clearly the source of the huge movement from a high point.
"...can really cause trouble."
Mushroom sighed, he was tired of playing the dungeon with this guy Niu Niu.
Then, he also summoned the Candlelight Spirit Horse and kept up with Niu Niu's pace.
Thump…thump…
The tremors of the earth did not stop, but became heavier.
The two quickly reached the top of the slope.
Here, they finally saw the source of the sound clearly.
This is an extremely large monster.
It had a huge head, with tentacles hanging from its lower jaw. Black and red flesh made up his body, and bones formed his shell. At the joints, there were squirming parasites one after another.
[Hosting Bone and Blood Colossus]
[Grade: Burning Charcoal]
【Level: 35】
[War:? 】
【talent:? 】
【Skill:? 】
[Explanation: Infected by alien power, it is made of innocent flesh and blood, and the crazy host remains in it. 】
"Damn, there are so many question marks... and they are so big!"
Looking at the huge body of the giant thing, Niu Niu felt a little numb. This was the first time they had seen such a huge monster in this game.
"It's coming this way!"
Mushroom frowned.
A sharp laugh erupted from the terrifying big mouth of the host bone-blood colossus. He used both hands and the tentacles of his lower jaw to pick up one host insect meat ball after another from the ground, threw it into his mouth and chewed it.
And its footsteps did not stop for a moment, obviously heading towards the two of them.
"What should we do? Run first?"
Mushroom looked at Niu Niu.
"Why run?" Although he was surprised by the size of the other party, Niu Niu was obviously confident: "It's just a boss of the Burning Charcoal Rank. I will set up the venue, and you go to lure it over and blow it up directly!"
"Okay."
Mushroom did not say much. Both of them were at a high level, and they had rich combat methods and experience. They would not be confused when facing such a boss.
Soon, the two began to act quickly.
After a while, Niu Niu spread the stench of feces over a large area.
And Mushroom also successfully lured the host colossus over.
"Niu, do it!"
Bang!
Without his reminder, Niu Niu, who had been prepared, directly activated the explosion flame.
In an instant, a large amount of stench of feces under the feet of the host bone and blood colossus was instantly ignited and exploded, bursting out with powerful power.
Boom!
The flesh was charred and the black blood was evaporated.
The legs of the Bone and Blood Colossus instantly festered, and after losing support, the huge body collapsed.
The opponent's health bar instantly dissipated by about one-third.
The power of the exploding bull was still as terrifying as ever.
Niu Niu and Mushroom's eyes lit up when they saw this, and they ran forward without hesitation, using all kinds of magic potion skills.
However, they seemed to have underestimated the horror of this giant.
Another burst of teeth-grinding shrill laughter sounded.
It was accompanied by a distorted and weird voice.
"Outsider, this useless trick can't kill me!"
"I will... live here forever, forever!"
This voice was like the voices of countless men, women, young and old twisted together, which made people's scalps numb.
After the voice fell, the body of the Bone and Blood Colossus began to disintegrate at a very fast speed, and countless parasitic insects wrapped in bone and blood turned into a wave of insects, dispersing in all directions.
The next moment, the shrunken Bone and Blood Colossus stood up from the waves. Mushroom and Niu Niu were already surrounded by countless parasitic insects, and they couldn't win even if they cut them.
Just as the two were exhausted, the terrifying Bone and Blood Colossus opened its mouth again.
"It's so exciting..."
"I haven't seen outsiders for a long time."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will let them fill every part of your body except the brain, provide you with nutrients, let you live forever, here, accompany me..."
"Finally, I have to thank you for killing her. Now I have no weaknesses!"
"Ah... I pay the highest tribute to you, the great existence in Tasoromo, your breath makes me intoxicated, everything I have comes from you..."
The guy who controlled the Bone and Blood Colossus seemed to have not seen a living person for a long time. When he saw Niu Niu and Mushroom, he even spoke incoherently, which made people feel cold on their backs.
This made the two of them suddenly startled while dealing with the parasitic insects around them.
This doesn't seem to be just a simple boss, he seems to have the ability to think normally?
Is this... an NPC?
