This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 670

After exchanging information with the Cummings family, Mu You recovered a lot from his injuries and was able to go to the ground for activities. However, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he followed the family of four and walked around on the fourth floor, continuing Collect detoxifying herbs and learn the survival skills of Jie Lin.

 “Don't fight the ecology here, but try to blend in.”

 This is the survival secret Cummings told him before setting off.

 Every creature in the forest has its own position and role. The entire ecosystem is actually a large symbiotic system. The creatures each perform their own duties, forming a stable closed loop.

As an alien species, if humans want to join this symbiotic system, what they have to do is not to destroy it, but to carefully feel the rules of this ecology, find a place where they can participate, and then do it without affecting the overall ecology. Integrate into it, comply with the needs of the ecology, first help with what you can do, and then think about harvesting what you need, so that you will not be squeezed out by this closed-loop ecology.

["The moon butterfly actually does not reject foreign species, and even welcomes the addition of outside creatures. Within seven steps, there must be an antidote. This principle of balance of mutual growth and mutual restraint is vividly reflected in this jungle. As long as you pay attention, you will find the antidote in this jungle." You don't encounter real desperate situations in the jungle," Cummings said. 】

 In the next three days, Mu You silently followed this family, learning the survival skills of the fourth level, and gradually figured out their survival strategy.

 Cummings is right. To survive here, you must first admit your weakness, lower your body, be like those lower creatures, observe, imitate, and learn their way of survival.

 Finding rules and then using them is always the most efficient way for humans to survive in unfamiliar environments.

The moonlight shines through the jagged treetops, covering this mysterious land with a silver veil. In the jungle ahead, a huge creature with barbs on its back and antlers on its head was quietly hiding behind a bush, grazing leisurely. 】

The antlered hippopotamus is a unique creature on the fourth floor of the Ring Forest. It is a gentle herbivorous creature similar to cattle and sheep. It generally does not actively attack other creatures. Because of its large size and delicious meat, it has become the hunting target of the Cummings family today.

Mu You did not take action, hiding in the jungle in the distance and silently observing the actions of the four people.

 Among the four, Cummings, as the head of the family, naturally shouldered the most important task. He crawled through the grass in the dark and quietly approached the hippo.

Cummings stopped dozens of meters in front of the hippo, reached into the grass nest next to it, groped around, and caught a long, strange fish from it. He then pinched the abdomen of the strange fish and exerted force.

The strange fish suddenly let out a pitiful cry similar to that of a screaming chicken, which echoed sadly in the jungle for a long time.

The hippopotamus grazing in front suddenly raised its head, making threatening muffled sounds from its mouth, and stamping its limbs manically on the ground.

Cummings was unmoved and continued to pinch the strange fish. After three times, the hippo was finally completely irritated. The spikes on its back stood up, its eyes were red, and it charged towards Cummings' position.

Cummings hurriedly threw away the strange fish and retreated into the distance. At the same time, from the depths of the jungle in another direction, two more strange fish screams came one after another.

 The running hippopotamus naturally changed its direction and continued to rush towards the source of the sound.

In this way, the hippopotamus was led by three people in a relay, and they quickly led into the trap area they had prepared.

 Brother Milai stood in front of a ring tree, wearing a mechanical light on his head and holding a mechanical claw in his right hand.

After the furious hippopotamus rushed over, Milai immediately turned on the instrument above his head, and a beam of strong light shot out, shining into the hippopotamus's eyes. The hippopotamus wailed, his eyes stung, tears continued, and his vision was blurred, but he still instinctively He launched a charge towards Mi Lai, as fast as lightning.

 Mi Lai hurriedly started the instrument in his hand, and the mechanical claw popped out, grabbed the trunk of the nearby Jiemu tree, and flew Mi Lai away.

The next moment, the hippopotamus carried huge kinetic energy and collided with the hard wood behind it. As a result, the wood did not move at all, and a pair of hippo's antlers were broken by the impact and fell off.

The hippopotamus that lost its antlers let out a mournful cry, its vitality quickly dissipated, and it soon died.

[After the hunt, the four people gathered around the prey, but they did not immediately step forward to touch the antlered hippopotamus. Instead, they remained in awe, lowered their heads and waited silently until cocoons formed on the hippo carcasses and the blue spiritual butterflies flew out and flew away. , after the insect slough disappeared, he stepped forward and started to pick up the remains of the prey...]

 Mu You watched the entire hunt. The lighting equipment and hook equipment used by the little boy were all tools removed from the armor left behind by the mechanic.

In fact, his usage is wrong. This hook itself is a destructive weapon. If Mu You uses the mechanical heart to control this hook, he can activate more functions on it. There is no need for such a troublesome process. Just use the hook directly. The claw can kill a hippopotamus head-on.

However, Mu You did not remind him aloud that the hunting method of this family of four does not rely on tools, but on the division of labor and cooperation of the four people. Even without the assistance of these two pieces of mechanical equipment, they can find other things to replace it.

After observing the hunting with this family for a few days, Mu You has completely understood that in the Ring Forest, humans are indeed at the bottom physically. They may never be able to be at the top of the food chain like savages, but by being higher than other creatures, With his intelligence and ability to use tools, he can still survive better than most of the creatures in the Ring Forest.

 Three days later, Mu You recovered from his injuries and found Cummings to say goodbye.

“It's all here.” Cummings takes you to a warehouse in the backyard. You see that the warehouse is filled with all kinds of dazzling mechanical parts. 】

"They were all from those three armors. I thought they might be useful in the future, so I didn't throw away any of the disassembled parts," Cummings said. 】

　　【You walked into the house and took a look around, then turned around and asked Cummings if you could pick out some parts to take away and borrow for a few days. 】

"Of course. You can take whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you take them all. These are the things the mechanic left for you. We took them without authorization." Cummings scratched his head in embarrassment. 】

After a few days of getting along, Cummings already knew that Mu You was the successor of the mechanic, and those armors were specially left for the successor.

 Muyou clicked on Ava.

 Chameleon helmet flew out from his head and floated in the warehouse, scanning all the accessories.

 Soon, more than ten available mechanical accessories were marked on it.

Mu You controlled the character to step forward, and used the mechanical heart to connect these parts one after another, finally forming a weird humanoid armor that looked messy. Due to its obvious top-heavy weight, it gave people the feeling that it would fall over at any time.

Although the shape is a bit strange, the power is indeed impressive. Twelve external accessories and six internal accessories are all available, and all the necessary parts are included, and the weapons are all high-damage accessories. According to Ava's calculations, the power of these parts The combination is already the best combination.

With a rumbling sound, parts are assembled on your body, eventually forming a complete armor. 】

　　【The moment the battle armor took shape, you clearly felt the hot light erupting in the eyes of the little boy next to you, and he looked at you with eyes full of envy. 】

"When I finish my work and come back, this armor will be yours." You said to Mi Lai. 】

　　""Seriously?" The little boy's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed. Of course Muyou will not take these parts directly, he just needs these parts to help him enter the savage tribe.

The quality of these temporarily modified parts is actually not high, and they are far less useful than Black Angel outside the ring forest. It is useless for him to take them out, and they will be returned when the work is done.

Cummings looked at this scene with a smile, and suddenly stepped forward and thrust a book into your hands. It was a handwritten book titled "The Forest Survival Manual." 】

"This is an encyclopedia of Ring Forest compiled by us based on many years of life experience. It records all the Ring Forest creatures and habits we have seen. It may be of some use to the Fool, so take it." Cummings said. 】

 Muyou was pleasantly surprised, this is not of some use, but of great use!

With this manual, the difficulty of survival in Jielin will be drastically reduced, and other Fools will also have the opportunity to come in in the future, which will greatly save the Fool's time in starting from scratch.

　　【You thank Cummings, and then tell him that after you meet the savage leader this time, you will persuade him to send people to move the boulder at the exit of the ring forest and open the space passage. 】

Mu You is reminding them that the passage to the Ring Forest will be opened soon. If they want to leave the Ring Forest and return to the Star Spirit Realm, they can pack their things and prepare to move now.

　　【After you finished speaking, Cummings and his wife looked at each other, but both smiled and shook their heads: "Thank you for your kindness, but no, we don't plan to leave the Ring Forest."]

  【“Why?” You expressed confusion. 】

Mu You was surprised. He thought that the two of them had been away from home for more than a thousand years, and they must miss their hometown very much at this moment. He didn't expect that the two of them refused so simply.

[Cummings scratched his head and said awkwardly: "How should I put it? In fact, thousands of years ago, we learned from the savages that the Fool might be destroyed, and since we decided to stay in the Ring Forest, we can no longer be regarded as the Fool. After so many years In the past, we have adapted to life in the Ring Forest, but now the star spirit world is a strange place for us."]

“What's more, the children are here and we can't leave them.” Cummings' wife added. 】

　　"But your lifespan..." you hesitated. 】

Mu You didn't know how long these two people had before they came, but now more than a thousand years later, there is still something like the rain of time in the Ring Forest that consumes lifespan. No matter how careful the two of them are to avoid the rain, after so many years, the two of them will Most people's life span is already running out.

Going to the Star Spirit Realm, at least returning to the Sky City area will give them a chance to replenish their lifespan. If they don't return to the Star Spirit Realm, they will die sooner or later.

Mu You couldn't figure out why they would rather run out of life and die in the Ring Forest than return to their hometown.

"It may be difficult for outsiders to understand, but in fact, in the Ring Forest, death is not the end..." Cummings explained with a smile, but did not explain more. 】

Mu You was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and combined with what he saw and heard in the Jie Forest these days, he gradually understood what he meant.

Indeed, because of the existence of soul butterflies, there is no real death in the Ring Forest. There is only continuous reincarnation. The concept of reincarnation is real in this forest. For the creatures here, physical death is just the next stage. There is no need to be afraid of the beginning of a new life.

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief and gave no more persuasion. Their family had obviously been completely integrated into Jie Lin's world system. For them now, the Fool and the Star Spirit World no longer had a sense of belonging. Instead, Jie Lin was their real homeland.

 Mu You bid farewell to the four of them and set off in the armor.

The functions of this set of four-dislike armor are actually far inferior to those of the complete Black Angel, but it is made of local materials and is extremely smooth to use. With the support of the armor, Muyou's combat effectiveness increases sharply, and after passing the fourth level, he becomes easy.

 It only took a day for Mu You to walk out of the fourth floor.

  【You have arrived at the fifth level of the Ring Forest. 】

  【The density of the surrounding wood has increased again, and the transmission of game text has encountered a significant delay. Under the current environment, you cannot transmit props through the game, and all text will be presented with a delay of 15-30 seconds. 】

On the fifth floor, the pressure on the game system has indeed increased again, props have become untransportable, and the text delay has also increased to up to half a minute!

 What is the concept of a half-minute game delay? Basically, when he saw the incident, he was already cold to the core.

 Fortunately, the modified armor has not been suppressed. If it encounters danger, Ava can take over the armor in real time, which can greatly reduce the impact of text delay.

As you step onto the fifth floor, in the jungle ahead, various black and white creatures appear one after another, looking at you with fierce looks, and there seems to be a trend of a biological riot again. 】

  【You grab a handful of worm sloughs from your pocket and eat them. 】

 【Your energy limit has been reduced by 7 points, currently: 0 (-297)】

  【You have gained 7 restricted attribute points, which can be added to other attributes except intelligence. 】

  【You have gained 0.7% of the divine system resistance, and the current total resistance is: 29.7%. 】

 After eating this insect slough, the divine energy in Mu You's body completely returned to zero, and his attributes increased to the limit. Even if he eats the worm slough again, his attributes will not increase anymore.

Muyou opened the panel and simply assigned a few restricted attributes. Now his attributes are:

 Power: 248

  Agility: 346

 Intelligence: 297

Physique: 61

The 297 points of restricted attributes awarded were evenly distributed among Muyou's strength and agility, while his constitution was not increased at all, because constitution affects life, defense, injury recovery, toxin resistance, etc., and these things are all in Within the coverage of the vampire's passive talents, adding physical fitness will improve him relatively little.

As for health points, one point of physical constitution can only add a little bit of real life. In this regard, rather than relying on improving physical fitness, it is much faster to rely on taking potions and raising stars.

The real shortcoming of this set of attributes is that the original 1:2:3 ratio of Li, Min, and Zhi has been broken, which will make the Fool Card unusable in the future. However, at this stage, Muyou has basically no need for the Fool Card, and it is impossible to buy it for a prop. And continue to be stuck on his own attributes.

  【As the energy in your body changes, the hostility of the creatures in front gradually dissipates, they no longer pay attention to you, and each returns to their own territory. 】

　　【You start the armor and cross the grass, continue to explore forward...】

The fifth floor is indeed more dangerous, but with the protection of the armor and the survival manual given by Cummings, Mu You feels that as long as you are not too unlucky and keep a low profile, you should be able to pass here in one go... Of course, the premise is that you don't encounter To those top fifth-level creatures.

After all, this suit of armor was temporarily modified by a mechanic. It is fine for bullying ordinary creatures, but when faced with creatures at the top of the food chain, it will only be torn into pieces.

Mu You obviously overestimated his luck. After only half an hour, he couldn't laugh anymore. (End of chapter)
