This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 564

Chapter 564 Chameleon

“Don't worry about this. The mirage tapir is too big and cannot completely pass through the transmission node. It will be stuck on the opposite side. At most, it can stretch its nose.”

 This is the Deng God's answer after Mu You consulted it.

"Of course, the influence of mirage is unavoidable. The mirage tapir is a very playful creature. When it finds a novel place, it will stay for a while and will not leave until it is no longer interested. During this period, it will be filled with mirage. The area you want to detect and what happens within the scope of the mirage cannot be hidden from its perception."

"However, no matter how large the scope of the mirage's influence is, it cannot spread to the entire star spirit world. It can only cover one-third of the area at most. It cannot affect your forgotten land. Don't worry." The lamp **** said. Yawning as he explained, he obviously didn't pay much attention.

 “Can you only reach through your nose...”

Mu You pondered, in this way, it will not have a great impact on human beings. Anyway, the mirage cannot reach the earth, and Sky City can move at any time. If it encounters a mirage, it can just fly away. At most, players will only be in the star spirit world. There are just a few less areas to set foot on.

However, the aborigines of the Star Spirit Realm are in a worse situation, especially those races whose gathering place happens to be within the scope of the mirage. They must either relocate their entire clan, or they can only live in the mirage for a long time.

Mu You has experienced the feeling of being in a mirage before. It is not a good experience anyway. In addition to falling asleep every few hours, he also has to face the problem of unusable props and the hunting of mirage-type creatures.

More importantly, each natural disaster season lasts for up to 5,000 years, and now the mirage season has just begun. If you are not lucky, the mirage tapir is likely to stay in the astral world for more than an era...

Even if the creatures in the astral world have the ability to resurrect, they cannot withstand such trouble. For intelligent races with choices, migration is almost an inevitable option.

And if one-third of the races in the Protoss Realm begin to migrate, the population density in the remaining areas will increase dramatically. By then, the turmoil caused by various survival and resource disputes will definitely not be small.

Mu You glanced at the group of city owners, and the discussion about mirage had not stopped yet.

 “Have all players withdrawn from the real world?”

“The information has been disclosed and we are retreating.”

“Those who didn't evacuate...are probably dead...”

Jiuyou finally said something, and everyone expressed their deep sympathy. A few days ago, several of their city lords joined forces to open up wasteland in Mirage Qi, but in the end they were all wiped out by the group, not to mention these ordinary players.

“Will those shrimp soldiers and crabs discover the entrance to the astral world?”

"Not yet, but according to the current trend, it will happen sooner or later..."

Mirage is a thing that spreads everywhere. Even if the exit of the Brave Tower is just an insignificant ant hole compared to the Giant World, it cannot be missed.

The mirage tapir can sense the situation inside the mirage. Once the mirage spreads past the exit, it will almost certainly be noticed by the mirage tapir.

 In fact, mirage penetrates faster than imagined.

At noon that day, some players who cleared the level in the Tower of Brave discovered that the top floors of the Tower of Brave were shrouded in mirage, causing the level-clearance determination to be abnormal.

 Muyou urgently kicked all players out of the tower and closed the Brave Tower.

 But even so, it cannot stop the spread of mirage.

 In just one hour, the entire Brave Tower was wrapped in mirage and rendered useless. The mirage even poured out from the windows and door cracks around the tower, flooding into the Village of Braves and the surrounding areas.

Mirage tapirs cannot pass through the teleportation point and cannot enter the star spirit world for the time being, but those shrimp soldiers and crab generals can.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon that day, several players reported that they found traces of mirage crabs and mirage shrimps near the Brave Village.

 Fortunately, these shrimp soldiers and crabs will not be able to escape the range of the mirage. As long as the players always stay outside the range of the mirage, these shrimp soldiers and crabs will not pose a threat to them.

Mu You found a topographic map of the Star Spirit World and looked at it.

The location of the Brave Tower is located in the White Maple City in the southern part of the Star Spirit Realm. White Maple City is located in the buffer zone between the human race and the elves. Therefore, after the mirage leaks from the Brave Tower, the first person to be affected is the Tower Si next door. The Nuo Empire, and the Sun Elves.

The human empire is okay, the capital is relatively far away, and it is backed by a vast plain, so the capital can be moved and evacuated at any time.

The elves are in dire straits. Phoenix City, the royal city of the Sunlight Elves, is almost on the edge of White Maple City, and there are many important things in Phoenix City that cannot be taken away, such as the Phoenix Tree, the mother tree of the Phoenix. If the elves evacuate, It is equivalent to giving up the Phoenix clan that lives with them.

Based on Mu You's understanding of these daylight elves, it is impossible for them to move away. Most of them will stay and fight the invading mirage creatures in order to protect the Phoenix Tree.

Mu You held a moment of silence for these elves, and then continued to look outside.

In addition to the Sun Elves and the Tasino Empire, expanding a circle further, another familiar place name was included in the scope - the Fatimid Empire.

Hum, that is the country where the Secret Church is located.

 “What a great opportunity!”

The clock watcher who was chatting with Linglong suddenly slapped his thigh.

"If the mirage is shrouded, the props cannot be used, so will the secret crystals forged by these guys also become ineffective? If so, when the mirage is shrouded, wouldn't it be a good time to take action!" The watcher thought freely. .

Mu You pondered for a moment and found that what he said was indeed possible. The secret crystal is ultimately a man-made auxiliary prop. Mirage can even block relics in the real world, not to mention props made from the star spirit world. .

When the mirage comes and the Secret Arts Church discovers that the crystal has failed, chaos will inevitably occur, and it will be much easier to take action by then.

 “Come on!”

Mu You encouraged the two of them, but did not support their ideas, because his own side was also in a mess now.

On the map, bypass the Fatimid Empire and continue to look to the lower left. Thousands of miles away, a conspicuous black circular cave stands out - the Great Lohmadi Abyss.

Yes, the great abyss located in the southwest corner of the Star Spirit Realm happens to be within the range that the mirage will soon cover. It is just that it is luckier than the previous three unlucky people because it is far away from White Maple City, so it will be difficult for the mirage to spread there. Not so fast.

However, after the reminder just now, Mu You's heart was moved: If mirage can affect the props, will it also affect the operation of the mechanical body?

The reason why living things can survive and move in mirage is because living things are made of flesh and blood. Although mechanical life is nominally called life, it is essentially a pile of dead things, no different from manufactured props. , in theory, it should also crash under the mirage...

Mu You shook his head. This was a bit far-fetched. Even if the mirage didn't leave, it would take a long time for the mirage to spread to the abyss. It was better to withdraw from the abyss first.

In this way, when the world was in an uproar due to the arrival of mirage season, a few people in the pet shop were calm. Mu You and his clones were doing their own things.

 The time soon came to night.

　　…Chunli's eyelashes fluttered slightly, she opened her eyes and woke up from her sleep. 】

"System, what time is it? How long have I been asleep?" Chunli stretched her body and drowsily brushed the messy hair on her head. 】

　　　 "You slept for a full fourteen hours." 伱 replied. 】

 【"No wonder, I'm so hungry...System, I want to exchange for food!"】

 The first thing a panda does after waking up is to eat.

Muyou will deliver the takeout prepared in advance into the game.

 【Chunli is enjoying her feast...】

　　【Chunli ate all the food on the table, rubbed her belly and showed a satisfied smile...】

"Huh? What is this?" The panda girl, who had eaten and drank enough, noticed a scroll on the table. 】

"What you have always wanted is the Elf Fighting Technique Scroll. After tearing it open, you can directly learn the Elf Fighting Technique. However, it requires frequent practice to fully master it."]

Mu You asked Xiaoya to redeem this scroll in the forest elves' territory. With his current reputation, it was only a matter of words to exchange for this kind of thing among the elves. 【Chunli picked up the scroll in surprise and was about to tear it open to study, but suddenly remembered something: "But I haven't accumulated enough points yet..."】

"It doesn't matter, this is for you, just think of it as a parting gift." You replied. 】

"Gift? That's great...wait, parting?" Chunli suddenly realized the problem in your words before she could be happy. 】

“System, are you leaving?” Chunli said nervously. 】

【"Yes."】

【"Why?"】

"As you can see, I am not the same as the robot here. When the host wakes up and discovers my existence, it will kill me. I must leave early."]

　　【Chunli suddenly showed reluctance when she heard this. She wanted to ask her to stay, but she couldn't find a suitable reason. 】

"The question now is, do you want to go with me?" you asked suddenly. 】

　　""Go together? Leave the Garden of Eden?" Chunli was surprised. 】

　　"Yes, go to your true homeland outside the Garden of Eden - the Star Spirit Realm."]

　　""I..." Chunli looked hesitant upon hearing this. 】

　　【After rubbing her hair and struggling painfully for a long time, Chunli seemed to have made up her mind. 】

"Sorry, system, I can't go with you. Although I yearn for the outside world, I still can't leave my people behind and run away alone..."]

Mu You breathed out. Chunli's choice was not beyond his expectation. Anyone who wanted to suddenly leave the environment where he grew up and go to a strange place would hesitate. That's fine. It happens to be quite chaotic outside right now. Maybe it would be safer to stay underground.

"Before I leave, there is one more thing I need your help with." You spoke again. 】

【"What's up?"】

  【"Take me into the dormant area and take a look at the situation inside."】

【Chunli was a little hesitant when she heard this, but thinking that this was your last request, she nodded firmly: "Okay, I'll go with you!"】

 Before finding an independent energy source, Mu You had to rely on Chunli to act as a humanoid power source.

 Half an hour later, the two set off in the dark again, heading to the robot territory behind the Garden of Eden.

"Wait!" On the dark night road, you suddenly stopped Chunli. 】

　　""What's wrong?" Chunli asked blankly. 】

“Go to the left and take a look... there may be treasures!” you said. 】

Just when he was passing through this area, Mu You once again received a 'sense of summons' prompt, and it seemed that something familiar to him was nearby.

 Having learned the lessons from Green Bee Sting, Mu You will definitely not let it go.

"Treasure!" Chunli's eyes shone, and she hurriedly put on her cloak and ran towards the path on the left. 】

　　【Chunli trotted all the way, but suddenly stopped and hid behind a tree because a high-level patrol robot appeared in front of her and was walking directly in your direction...】

"If you find a suspicious creature, stop immediately, otherwise attack procedures will be carried out!" The patrol robot scanned the beam in your direction and raised the barrel of its right hand at you. 】

"System, isn't it about treasures? How come they are patrollers..." Chunli was about to cry but had no tears. 】

Mu You was also a little strange at this time. When he discovered the patrol robot just now, he even received another reminder that the summoning feeling came from this robot.

 The question is how can the enemy make him feel called?

Mu You had no time to think too much at this time. The enemy was already in front of him, so Mu You had no choice but to adopt the same strategy as last time.

　　【You switch to the image of a transport robot, wrap Chunli in it, and drive out from behind the tree. 】

　　【"Confirm target: transport robot, judged to be a damaged and out-of-control mechanical body, execute the order: inspection, recovery..." The patrol robot broadcasts the instructions and walks towards you...]

 Based on the experience last time, Mu You did not give the opponent a chance to get close this time. After the opponent entered the farthest attack range of the green bee sting, he immediately launched an attack.

　　【The cyan light and shadow flashed across like lightning, hitting the robot's face directly, but was bounced out with a crisp sound...】

["Under attack, confirm as the enemy, execute the attack command, and activate the alarm program..." The attacked robot instantly entered a combat posture, and fired at you from the muzzle of its right hand. At the same time, the alarm device on its chest flashed a red light and emitted a harsh sound. Humming...]

 “Huh?” Mu You was stunned.

The Green Bee Sting is the weapon of the Origin Armor. Last night, when we encountered a patrol robot, we killed it with one clean blow. It cut steel as easily as cutting tofu. Why did it suddenly not work today?

Has the robot opposite been upgraded? The head is so hard!

There was no time to think too much, the alarm had already sounded at this moment, Mu You hurriedly backtracked according to the schedule and attacked again.

　　【Time passed, you launched another attack, this time aiming at the alarm device on the opponent's chest...】

　　【The green bee sting turned into blue light and flashed, easily pierced the alarm device, passed through the opponent's back, then turned back at high speed, and passed across the robot's neck...】

　　【In the flash of green light, a mechanical head flew up, and the remaining mechanical body lost control. Electricity splashed all over the body, and it fell straight to the ground...】

 【A head rolls down not far in front of you, the red light in the eyes is still scanning towards you...】

["Enemies found, confirmed to be embedded life forms... Uploading alarm information... Failed to upload, intelligent circuit is interfered... Warning: The body is overheated... has exceeded the critical temperature..." The robot head announced a long voice, and the voice became increasingly louder and louder. Transformation, until finally, with a muffled sound, green smoke came out of the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the robot head, and the light in the eyes extinguished, and it seemed to be completely dead. 】

“System, what's going on?” Chunli asked nervously. 】

Mu You was also at a loss at the moment.

After the beheading operation just now, he found that the head was still alive. He was just about to make a cut, but the mechanical head actually short-circuited and exploded on its own.

  【You come to the mechanical head and pick up the dead head. 】

  【You find that this mechanical head seems to be covered with a special layer of material, and the summons you feel comes from this layer of material...】

  【Before you take action, this layer of transparent material will naturally fall off and fall into your hands. You throw away the remaining mechanical head, and the transparent substance in your hand emerges...it turns out to be a helmet with sharp edges! 】

【Chameleon Mask: The mask component of the battle armor 'Chameleon', has super camouflage and concealment capabilities. After assembly, it can shield the body from outside detection and perfectly assimilate the body with the surrounding environment. Possessing a certain degree of autonomy, attached to ordinary machinery, it can disrupt the actions of the machinery to a certain extent. Only the manipulation of the Machine Heart is recognized. 】

Mu You was stunned for a moment after reading it, and hurriedly clicked on the entry for 'Chameleon'.

　　【Chameleon: One of the original battle armors. 】

 Another piece of Yuanchu armor!

No wonder even the green wasp sting couldn't penetrate the robot's head just now.

The description of this suit of armor has the ability to hide, just like its name, a chameleon, which can perfectly hide itself in the surrounding environment. This thing has been attached to the robot's head in a transparent state before, but no one has noticed its existence for so many years, which shows how strong its concealment ability is.

What surprised Mu You even more was that this helmet actually suggested a certain degree of 'autonomous consciousness'. The head of the robot just self-destructed, which was probably the fault of this helmet.
