Simulator: Global Myths Come

Chapter 169 Escape from the cave
Gotta say, there are benefits to pushing that door open a tiny crack.At least this space is very cool, and there is no need to worry about lack of oxygen.

Cao Zheng was not idle, and approached the stone gate and the two statues little by little.When he found that there was no response from this thing, he would move two steps forward.

Cao Zheng didn't know if it was because of the small gap in the stone gate, but Cao Zheng felt that the further he went, the colder he got.

But it was just cold, because Cao Zheng had slowly come to the bottom of the statue, and nothing happened.

Ying Longwei flew to the place next to Cao Zheng, and also looked up curiously at the two weird statues.

"Did you find anything?" Cao Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"But no, I just feel more and more disgusting about this thing, I don't know why." Ying Long shook his head and said.

Luan also came over, hesitated for a long time and finally said, "I seem to know what this creature is, but I'm not sure..."

"Oh? Let's talk about it quickly." Cao Zheng was overjoyed. Don't worry about whether Luan's words are right or not, it's always good to provide a way of thinking.

Luan said while recalling: "Some time ago, I was also figuring out the myths of America, and I saw this kind of thing by chance. If I guess correctly, this should be the ancient one."

Cao Zheng didn't know what the old man was, so he quietly listened to what Luan had to say next.

"These are alien creatures that came to Earth a long, long time ago. They once had a highly developed civilization on Earth, but then gradually declined and died out.

The ancients waged protracted wars with Cthulhu's star families and deep divers, the great race of Yith, and the flying polyps.

In the course of this great war, the ancients successfully reached some kind of peace treaty with the Cthulhu faction—and considering that Cthulhu was sober at the time, they forced the Cthulhu faction to make concessions through some kind of huge deterrence. From then on, the ancients centered their activities in the Antarctic, while the Cthulhu faction retreated to the present Pacific Ocean. "

The more Cao Zheng listened, the more he felt something was wrong, "No, we are in the Pacific Ocean now, and this is not the South Pole."

"Ahem, I think this is also a very normal thing." Ying Long interrupted suddenly, "It's like the country of Bangzi also has American soldiers stationed there."

Cao Zheng thought about it carefully, and he really felt that this was the truth.The territory of the ancients is in Antarctica, but it doesn't mean that there won't be a garrison on a small island in the Pacific Ocean.

What if this is a secret stronghold?
Feeling a bit off topic, Cao Zheng brought the topic back, "Luan, does this thing have any weaknesses?"

Luan thought hard for a long time, then shook his head very embarrassedly, "I can't remember, probably because I'm afraid of the cold?"

—Afraid of the cold?

Cao Zheng always felt that the situation here was somewhat contradictory.

If this thing is really afraid of the cold, then what about the air conditioning behind the stone gate?Could it be that this group of ancients intends to challenge their weaknesses?

Cao Zheng felt that he still overlooked some information, and looked at Luan again expectantly, "Quick, think again, what other useful information is there?"

"I can't think of anything anymore. If you have to mention the enemy of the ancients, you must definitely avoid a creature called Shoggoth." Luan wished to get all the information in his head.

At that time, she had only briefly read the American mythology, and it was impossible to look up the information of the ancients specifically, and she really couldn't remember some things that were just a quick glance.

"Shoggoth?" Cao Zheng repeated,
"Yes, Shoggoth, the slave of the ancients, failed to resist the ancients hundreds of millions of years ago, and was finally suppressed and brainwashed." Luan couldn't remember too many details, so he could only summarize it in his own way.

"Shoggoths seem to be creatures without a fixed form. The ancients created them and enslaved them to build cities for themselves."

"Oh...so that's how it is..." Cao Zheng turned back into a human form, and slowly backed away with Luan and Yinglong in his hands.

"What's the matter?" Ying Longwei didn't resist, but asked a little strangely.

Cao Zheng pushed it to a seemingly safe position before explaining: "If these two statues are transformed from Shoggoths, it would be very reasonable."

As soon as the words fell, the two dark green statues suddenly swelled up, gradually turning into an amorphous lump of protoplasm, with a faint glimmer of light still shining on its surface.

If Cao Zheng moved a step slower, he might be wrapped up by this thing.

From this position, he could see that tens of thousands of pus-like eyes emitting green light were constantly forming and disintegrating on its surface.

"These little guys seem to have woken up, do you want to kill them directly?" After knowing the true form of the enemy, Ying Long felt that there was no need to restrain his hands and feet.

"It's okay to kill it first, anyway, neither the ancients nor the Shoggoths are good things." Cao Zheng's hand flashed a flash of lightning, and he threw it directly at the thing.

At the same time, flames spewed out from Yinglong's mouth, roasting another Shoggoth.

After being attacked, Shoggoth made a piercing sound and crawled towards Cao Zheng.

There is a strange smell in the air, which makes people dizzy after smelling it for a while.I don't know if he was poisoned, Cao Zheng just wanted to vomit at this moment.

Finally, when Cao Zheng was about to lose his hold, the two Shoggoths fell silent on the ground, and it seemed that the fighting power of this thing was just that.

Yinglong spewed out a puff of air, blowing the remains of Shoggoth to a place far away out of the way.There should be no obstacles in the future, you can try to push the door open.

However, just as Cao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, the Shoggoth, who was regarded as a wreck, suddenly became active again, and his size seemed to have grown a bit.

The two shoggoths squirmed and fused together, and it seemed a little more difficult to deal with.

Just as Ying Long wanted to continue setting fire, Cao Zheng quickly stopped it and motioned it to turn its head to look at the passage.

It turned out that the unknown substance of the sealed ancient was gradually melting, probably because the temperature in this space had risen.

This is not a good sign, if not, it will be the enemy.It's too bad that the Old One and its slaves are reunited or something.

Cao Zheng didn't want to sacrifice himself to resolve the conflict between the two races.

Ying Long was obviously also aware of this situation, its body gradually expanded in the air, and it slammed upwards.

—— boom
There was a muffled sound above Cao Zheng's head, the slightly dark space was opened, and the air became fresh.

But opening up the connection with the outside world means that the temperature in this space will continue to rise, and I must evacuate this place immediately.

- whoosh
Ying Long swooped down from the top of his head, grabbed Luan and Cao Zheng and flew up again.After several hours of cave adventures, Cao Zheng and others finally returned to this seemingly peaceful island.

With a big wave of Ying Long's hand, a big rock sealed the hole on the top of the mountain again.Although the airtightness will not be as good as before, it should also be able to prevent the awakening of the ancients.

Cao Zheng breathed in the fresh air, feeling that the sunset in the distance was so beautiful.

"The last question, why did we appear on such a strange island?" Cao Zheng asked suspiciously.

Ying Long looked at Cao Zheng strangely, always thinking that he was the last person who should ask such a question.

You opened the teleportation array, who are you asking here?

Of course, it is impossible for Ying Longwei to tell what Jiang Jinyi did, after all, he did not play any positive role in it.

"I think we should hurry up and leave this island, the holiday is over early." Cao Zheng said helplessly.

Luan hurriedly took out the satellite phone again and dialed a specific number.

After a short wait, Bi Fang on the other end of the phone answered the phone and exchanged information with Luan in great surprise.

Luan's smile was gradually disappearing, and finally he was listening to the phone with a serious expression.Just as Cao Zheng wanted to eavesdrop, the two had already ended the conversation.

"A good news or a bad news, which one to listen to first?" Luan turned off the phone directly in order to save power.

Cao Zheng and Ying Long looked at each other, "Why don't you listen to the bad ones first, and then reverse it at the end."

"The bad news is that we need to find a way to leave this small island by ourselves. There are many creatures from the Cthulhu camp in this sea area." Luan said seriously.

"Then... what's the good news?" Cao Zheng asked hastily.

"The good news is that Sister Bi Fang is already in the Pacific Ocean. As long as we leave this sea area, we can go home directly."

"Then why use her? It's not like we can't go back directly." Cao Zheng felt that this was taking off his pants and farting, and in the end he had to figure out a way by himself?
"Sister Bi Fang just cleared a road that can guarantee our safety for the rest of the journey." Luan explained.

Cao Zheng threw the man out of the Mythical Miaomiao House, and this guy will sleep for a long time before he wakes up.

"I suggest you think carefully before making a decision." Ying Long popped out such a sentence without beginning or end.

"Think about what?"

"You must be planning to leave with the players on this island. This will greatly affect our normal departure." Ying Long saw through Cao Zheng's true thoughts at a glance.

"Furthermore, let's take them along if you can. It's not good to leave them here to starve to death." Cao Zheng said awkwardly.

Ying Long saw that Cao Zheng had already made up his mind, so naturally he didn't say anything more, and directly shrank back to the top of Cao Zheng's head.

It can also understand Cao Zheng's approach.If Cao Zheng only cared about himself at first, Ying Longwei would not think that he is a person who can accomplish great things.

"Let's go to sea after a while, such as tomorrow morning?" Cao Zheng wanted to wait for the simulator to finish cooling down before setting off, so he was well prepared.

At this moment, sparse footsteps came from around.Looking around, more than 20 unkempt players had already surrounded them.

And the one in the lead is a woman with an Asian face.

Before Cao Zheng could speak, she asked in a very broken Chinese language, "Jianguo, are you planning to kill us all on this island before you give up?"

Cao Zheng tilted his head and looked at her. He didn't know what kind of mental disorder would ask such a question at this juncture.

Or...does she think she has already decided on herself?
Cao Zheng was not in a hurry, and decided to play tricks on her, "There are so many people here, are they here for team building?"

"Stop talking nonsense, how much food do you have hidden! Why don't you take it out and distribute it equally!" the woman asked sharply.

Cao Zheng was stunned. He imagined countless scenarios but never thought it would be like this.Where is the confidence of this guy?Or is it simply being stupid and not playing cards according to the routine?

Seeing that Cao Zheng didn't speak, the woman thought her questioning had an effect, and she said in a demagogic tone, "You've caused trouble in this mountain, right? The monsters in the mountain are your trump card against us, right? !"

Cao Zheng raised his eyebrows, unexpectedly, this woman knew quite a lot.Even the monster knows, she wouldn't just abandon this unlucky guy, right?
It's a pity that the male player is still asleep, unable to verify Cao Zheng's guess.

"It doesn't matter what you want to think, now, get the hell out of here!" Cao Zheng didn't want to cause trouble in this place, if the ancients below got out, it would be over.

Two strong men stood in front of Cao Zheng.

Cao Zheng stared, and the two of them silently took a step back to make way for Cao Zheng.

Before leaving, Cao Zheng also dropped a sentence, "I will contact you to weigh your own strength first. There are many things that cannot be solved by moral kidnapping."

At this time the sun had completely set, and Cao Zheng took Luan to a place far away from the cave to set up a tent.

"That girl's mental state is not right, she seems to be under control." Ying Long reminded suddenly.

"Why did you tell me now?" Cao Zheng frowned.

"You can't prove that she is controlled, can you still control her directly?" Ying Long asked back.

Cao Zheng thought about it carefully, which is really the truth.She can bring together players who don't understand the language, and her explanation without evidence is also very pale.

"Wait for her to show her feet, I will let her know why the flowers are so popular as soon as possible." Cao Zheng put down the harsh words directly.

Ying Long yawned and looked up at the direction of the mountain top, there seemed to be a few figures there.

Just when Cao Zheng was about to turn on the simulator, the whole island began to tremble violently.

"Mom..." Ying Long looked up, only to see a huge black shadow looming on the top of the mountain.

Cao Zheng followed Ying Long's gaze and looked up, and saw the huge creature.

"Looks like the Shoggoths have won the game."

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, leave here early tomorrow morning.

As soon as a decision was made here, the whole island changed again.Green tentacles soared into the sky, turning the entire island into a huge birdcage.

"Good guy, we're starting to close the door and let the dogs out." Ying Long teased softly.

After being disturbed like this, Cao Zheng, who was not sleepy at first, became full of energy in an instant, and happened to come to the island to clear the plan.

At this moment, a green light flickered in the grass not far away, and a tentacle struck towards Cao Zheng's face.

—— Shua
Cao Zheng waved his hand, and the tail sword instantly appeared on his paw.Without the slightest hesitation, the tentacles were directly cut into pieces.

"It seems that the whole night is not safe."
