Chapter 254: Prequel to Infinite Highway
Li Yuan couldn't quite tell whether he was hallucinating due to food poisoning or whether what he saw was just so absurd.
A tree made of human limbs, and a person on the tree playing the game system.
Now only Qi Fan's head was left moving on the tree, and his cervical vertebrae had turned into wires, entwining different parts of the tree.
Many mouths in the tree are talking.
But those voices really rang next to my ears: "The mushroom map is merging with animals. Every once in a while, mature mushrooms will hatch freely. Please don't step on poisonous mushrooms, and please don't step on animal mushrooms."
Little Shitou, who had just rescued someone, couldn't help but lower his head and ask the tiny Li Yuan: "Can mushrooms in the human world hatch animals?"
Li Yuan's face was covered with her long black hair.
Li Yuan, who looked like a child, stroked her hair and said, "These are the dungeon settings that only exist in the game. How come your hair has become so long?"
The culprit who made herself rejuvenated had already turned into an 18 or 19-year-old girl.
Li Yuan remembered that Xiao Shitou's hair had just reached his shoulders before, but now it had reached his ankles.
"It's because the guy across the street found that he couldn't bite my flesh, so he started to think of ways to make my hair grow longer. Look, I've already cut a lot of my hair."
Only then did Li Yuan notice that there were also black hairs hidden in the areas covered by white mycelium on the ground.
He had previously thought that it was also a mutant mycelium.
The human-tree that Qi Fan turned into would occasionally lower a branch, stretch out a head, and eat all the hair on the ground.
Little Stone looked disgusted: "He really looks like the sweeping robot in your world."
Li Yuan: "Robots are not as disgusting as him."
But something so disgusting that I have to eat must be important.
Li Yuan has summoned his keyboard and screen, the screen in the game editor, and the entire world is filled with various warning signs of exclamation marks.
This means that the game is full of bugs, and at the same time, the only thing that is a little different is the position of the hair on the ground.
Li Yuan clicked on the tax law on the map and applied for data detection.
[The target level is too high... *%# cannot be edited@*&]
[Friendly reminder, all items in this map cannot be changed at the data level]
[Ding——Please continue the game! ]
The three sentences not only appeared on the screen, but also changed into three different people's voices and sounded in the ears.
Li Yuan looked at the red triangle exclamation marks that kept lighting up on the screen, knowing that his skills might not be able to change the rules here.
So Qi Fan’s target is Xiao Shitou?
The dizziness had not completely disappeared. Li Yuan resisted the urge to vomit, took out the medicine given by Dr. Wu and swallowed it quickly. Then he saw Aunt Huo had crawled out of the mycelium.
Huo Siran seemed to be naturally compatible with sheep's skills, and he quickly summoned several floating eyeballs.
"I just felt something was wrong in the mycelium. It seems there is a hole under the cabin, and mycelium has crawled in."
Li Yuan pulled up the map to look at it, but his current authority was very low. He could only see a hole on the ground and could not see the situation outside the room.
While dodging the attacks, he tried his best to observe the entrance of the cave, which was near the tree that Qi Fan had turned into.
Little Stone glanced at his screen and wondered, "That ghost thing hasn't moved since before. When did it dig the hole?"
The mycelium crawls very slowly, but the tree roots have already penetrated into it quite a bit.
etc.
While dodging, Li Yuan zoomed in on the scene and saw that the tree roots were also made up of human hands. Those long and thin hands, like noodles, quickly pulled out a ghost face from the hole and ate it.
The opposite of Tiangang.
The catchphrase that A Guang often said appeared in Li Yuan's mind.
"A living person ate a ghost?"
Little Stone was jumping around to avoid the attacks, and occasionally she would crush a few mushrooms. Although she was breaking the rules, Little Stone would not be poisoned. She kept staring at Li Yuan's computer screen.
Shitou was also surprised.
"You humans really do eat everything."
He eats the living and the dead, and even wants to eat stones.
Li Yuan felt that things had far exceeded his imagination. Countless threads were tangled in his mind. What was Qi Fan's purpose, or what was the purpose of those people behind him?
Qi Fan's current behavior is definitely not her own will. Fang Jinyu had tried to be an undercover agent before, but she was so far away that she couldn't even get to the captain's room. She suddenly fell to the ground from such a distance, and Fang Jinyu knew that something was wrong with her sister. It was either telepathy or this group of people had been tampered with.
She probably doesn't know the specific reason, otherwise she would have explained it long ago. Now the only ones who can save her and her sister are Li Yuan and others. Fang Jinyu probably doesn't have the courage to hide any clues.
Qi Fan and the others were arranged from the moment they came on stage.
His current state is probably just the last bit of his potential.
Writer. Fang Jinyu's ability is writer. She once told Li Yuan that if this world is a story, Xiao Shitou is the protagonist.
Li Yuan's career in the real world also requires him to read novels to enrich his knowledge base.
The protagonist of a novel usually needs to defeat the villain and reach a victorious and happy ending.
Little Stone is indeed doing this.
Li Yuan followed her with his eyes. After the other party turned into a human, her innate physical advantage was obvious. She found an iron water pipe from somewhere and directly broke a branch that was chasing her.
"It's so annoying. Why does this thing just keep chasing me?"
The broken branches are like brittle white bones. If one branch is broken, there are still countless branches left.
Just like what Xiao Shitou said, although those things can't threaten her, they will keep chasing her, which is very annoying.
Li Yuan had been observing the tree that Qi Fan had turned into. He saw a broken cross-section of a branch, and suddenly a round capsule spit out of it.
The capsule landed, glowed, and turned into a new mushroom that looked like a toadstool, with animal patterns on it.
"Aunt Huo, could you please bring back a mushroom with an animal pattern?"
Aunt Huo, who had been summoning eyes and observing the environment nearby, nodded.
Sheep horns grew out of its head. Aunt Huo looked at the eyeball in her hand for a while. The eyeball quickly squirmed and turned into a little man with limbs.
[In the world of imagination and hypnosis, all flesh and blood can become anything as long as they believe in it enough. ]
Aunt Huo hypnotized her own separated eyeballs.
The eyeball scurried out like a lizard and soon grabbed the nearest one to them, and like a cake, it covered the cap of its head with an animal-patterned mushroom.
As a result, the thing just happened to mature.
The small ball was bounced out in an instant, and the mushroom cracked directly.
A mini foal, soaking wet as if it had just crawled out of amniotic fluid, slowly stood up from the remains of the mushroom.
"Ding - the experiment log has been updated. There is an animal mushroom, and a new soul has been successfully hatched!"
Little Stone also noticed the movement here. Although she didn't know what the rules of the game were, she was smart and knew that she was immune to poisonous mushrooms, so she would only step on poisonous mushrooms when running around.
Animal mushrooms?
"Don't they say that all small animals hatch from eggs?"
Little Stone, who had never received any preschool education, talked to himself.
Li Yuan has used his skills to quickly lock onto this life form. He has discovered that he has less authority to use when it comes to things related to trees, that is, things related to Qi Fan. But it is different with mushrooms. This thing was designed by infringing on the permissions of Li Yuan and Xiao Shitou.
Li Yuan's fingers kept tapping, and the lines of data streams were his weapon. Soon, he saw the script data that appeared on the colt on the map.
[Name: Unknown]
[Occupation: Horseman]
[Status: Dead/Wandering Soul/Player]
Li Yuan scrolled back a few lines in disbelief and soon saw the person's life and death date.
Died in 1999 from drowning.
This is a dead person, not a guy who came into this world because of a coma or something.
This is not a player. This is completely different from Li Yuan and the others. This is a soul in the river.
Turn the dead into living animals again.
A light bulb went off in Li Yuan's head, and he seemed to understand a little bit what the organizations behind Qi Fan were doing.
They want more than just to stay in the market, they want to learn how to make games themselves, build systems, and expand the map.
To build a city, besides land and money, something more important is needed.
They need residents.
They want to resurrect the dead and turn them into residents of their own world.
In the whole world, there is only one thing that can do this, and that is the stone that pulled up the water plants, the one that saved them and was worshipped.
No wonder he wanted to eat her hair.
The little stone was still jumping up and down, dealing with those annoying branches in the not-so-spacious room.
Li Yuan only had time to shout:
"Stop attacking those branches, they're attacking you on purpose to break them. Come to the door!"
Li Yuan had to find a way to break the door open and get out using the same method he used before.
Whether you go to the corridor or to the boat, you can't stay in the room, you have to go to a place with white light.
They, the living and the dead, are afraid of light, but stones are not.
There were many eyeballs floating on Aunt Huo's body, which she catalyzed into the same type of surveillance camera as A Guang.
"Those people in the tree are still alive. They are not dead. Only some of them have lost their hands and feet. I just used my eyes to look for a while. Some of them were even crying out in pain and calling for help."
Aunt Huo's expression and tone were somewhat heavy.
There are some people in Qi Fan’s team who are called food reserves, all of them are old people, women and children.
Those people are still alive. Their brains are used as information warehouses, their hands and feet are used as tools, and their skills are used as weapons.
Qi Fan not only controlled them, but he himself was also remotely controlled by something else.
Li Yuan had retreated behind the door. The large amount of hyphae behind him was like blades, trying to tear the door open. When Xiao Shitou saw that he was about to open the door, he immediately came over to help.
"Are we finally going out?"
It was difficult for her to get out alone, but with two more people, it was much easier to open the door.
The white light only squeezed a little through the gap, and the branches led by Qi Fan began to scream.
Li Yuan was shocked: "It's useful, get out first!"
They could use the previous method, even if they got hurt along the way, it would be better than staying here.
However, fate seemed to have already arranged the script for tonight. They opened the door and forced Qi Fan to retreat for only two or three minutes when the voice that Li Yuan least wanted to hear rang out.
That was the ship's broadcast.
[Dear passengers, the long day is about to end, the disinfection has been completed, and the next step is the twelve-hour night]
Behind Li Yuan and others, the humans on the trees who were originally screaming gradually regained their animal nature while begging for mercy in pain. They opened their eyes and stared at the three figures in front of them.
From a lamb waiting to be rescued, to a demon with fangs growing at night.
The last bloody night of carnival has arrived.
