Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

"You must answer the questions I asked truthfully and in detail without any concealment." After Zhao Xun finished speaking, he repeated the previous question, "Do you know why the Frog Prince was sealed here? "

"It is said that it was too evil and was hunted down by magicians. The magicians worked together to seal it here." As expected, the macaque boss immediately gave the real answer.

The other macaque followers all looked surprised after hearing what the macaque boss said.

They didn't understand why the macaque boss, who just refused to answer any questions, suddenly began to answer all questions.

But the macaque boss was the tallest and strongest among them. None of them dared to disobey or question the macaque boss, so after a brief period of surprise, they all chose to remain silent.

Zhao Xun didn't care what these macaque followers were thinking. He continued to ask: "Is the Frog Prince going around killing people?"

The boss of the macaque nodded: "That's right. I heard that it killed many, many people."

"Then do you know who the Frog Prince is?" Zhao Xun asked.

"I don't know," the macaque boss shook his head, "I haven't heard from the magicians."

Zhao Xun was not disappointed when he did not get a definite answer. He continued to ask: "Were you asked by the magician to guard here?"

"We have always lived here," the macaque boss explained. "It's just that after the frog was sealed here, the magicians knew we were here and asked us to help guard it."

"Aren't you responsible for guarding the frog prince?" Zhao Xun raised his eyes and looked behind the macaque boss, "You are responsible for guarding the fireflies."

This sentence was not a question, but an affirmation.

During the short conversation, he had already seen two flickering fireflies flying slowly deep in the woods.

At night, when the moonlight is blocked by big trees, the light of fireflies is very conspicuous.

These macaques did not appear after he walked out of the frog barrier, but appeared when he was about to step into the woods.

What it protects is self-evident.

"Yes." The macaque boss nodded, "Magicians know very well that there is a way to break the seal. In order to prevent the Frog Prince from having a chance to break the seal, we must protect those fireflies."

The macaque followers behind it widened their eyes and opened their mouths, as if they couldn't believe that it actually said these words directly.

One of the macaque followers standing closest to the macaque boss quietly raised his hand and poked the macaque boss on the back, trying to remind the macaque boss to stop talking.

But the macaque boss didn't react at all, not to mention looking back, and didn't even move his body.

It seemed that all its thoughts were on Zhao Xun, and it was just waiting for Zhao Xun to ask questions so that it could answer them as soon as possible.

Zhao Xun thought for a few seconds and asked: "If I want to lift the seal of the Frog Prince, will it attract the attention of the magician after the ceremony starts? Will they come to stop it?"

"I don't know." There was a look of confusion on the face of the macaque boss. "It's been more than two hundred years. I don't know if the original magicians are still alive, let alone whether they have descendants or whether they know what happened here." Entrusted to others."

"So, you are not the first batch of monkeys to guard here." Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, "You are the descendants of the first batch of macaques."

"That's right." The macaque boss nodded.

"You don't even know if the magician will come to help you when you are in trouble, and are you willing to stay here all the time?" The orangutan standing behind Zhao Xun couldn't help but ask, "Just like how your ancestors have been here for a lifetime? "

It escaped from the zoo.

As a primate that wants to get rid of the fate of being watched, it cannot understand these similar people who are willing to be trapped in one world.

"We have always lived here. Without the magician's instructions, we would still have survived here for generations." The macaque boss said calmly, "It's just one more thing to do, not to mention when you show up. Before, our lives had been very normal.”

The orangutan was silent.

While the macaque boss was talking to the orangutan, Zhao Xun was deep in thought.

If the magician comes, it will be a problem for him.

Even if his current strength is pretty good, he will still suffer under the crowd tactics.

What if the magician takes advantage of the chaos and takes the Frog Prince away, or tries to destroy the altar, or uses other tricks to cause trouble? If he fails to take care of a certain part in time, then this side mission will be impossible to complete.

But the monkeys didn't know whether the magicians would show up.

It would be a good thing for him if they didn't show up at all, but if they did...

The best way is to minimize the possibility of attracting the magician's attention during the entire process.

So far, taking away the luminous stone from the creek or electrocuting the creek to make the stones fly into the grass will not cause any abnormality.

This shows that even if the magician may appear, it will definitely happen in certain scenarios or after certain events.

It may not cause any trouble to get the items needed to unblock it.

But the unsealing ceremony is the one most likely to attract the attention of magicians.

The second is to kill the animals responsible for guarding.

He was not sure whether there was some kind of contract between the macaques and the magician, and whether the death of the macaques would attract the magician's attention.

Just in case, he had to keep these macaques alive.

Therefore, hypnosis became the best way.

With a rough plan in mind, Zhao Xun asked another question: "Will there be any bad consequences if the seal of the Frog Prince is lifted? For example, after it returns to its original state, it will raze this place to the ground."

He didn't care whether the Frog Prince would destroy the world, but he had to spend three days here, and he had to confirm whether the Frog Prince would do anything that would affect his ability to pass the game during these three days.

In this way, he can prepare in advance and take some necessary measures.

The macaque boss shook his head: "I don't know."

"Didn't the magician mention it even a few words to your ancestors?" Zhao Xun asked.

The boss macaque shook his head again: "I haven't heard of it. I only know that our duty is to protect those fireflies, and not much else is known."

Zhao Xun was not particularly disappointed with this.

It is indeed a safer and safer choice not to tell all the secrets to the same person.

It's normal for macaques not to know everything.

Perhaps other guardian animals can be found near the wintersweet tree, and there will be other harvests.

But for now, he still has to catch the fireflies first.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun asked another unrelated question: "Then do you know where the altar is?"

The boss of the macaque almost blurted out: "In the cave."

Zhao Xun showed a clear look.

It was just as he expected.

"Where exactly?" Zhao Xun asked again.

"I don't know." This time, the macaque boss shook his head again.

Zhao Xun thought for a while and asked in a different way: "Then do you know who knows the specific location of the altar?"

"I don't know." The macaque boss continued to shake his head.

After having asked all he could, Zhao Xun finally returned to the topic: "Let me catch ten fireflies. After catching them, I will leave."

The boss macaque's face wrinkled a little. Obviously, this hypnotic instruction was extremely contrary to its original intention, and it struggled.

As a result, Zhao Xun strengthened the control of his mental power.

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then the macaque boss's expression returned to calm.

It began to give orders to the macaques behind it.

But such an order is difficult for all the macaque followers to understand.

The boss who always insisted on abiding by the agreement with the magician and protecting the safety of the fireflies, why did he suddenly change his mind?

Moreover, they were present throughout the whole process and had no idea how the macaque boss was persuaded.

There is no inducement or coercion.

Just by Zhao Xun's words, the macaque boss seemed to have changed into a monkey.

Zhao Xun knew very well that on such a big issue, the macaque followers might not completely obey the boss macaque, so he selected a few macaque followers with obvious resistance intentions for hypnosis.

After some tossing, these macaques finally settled down.

Zhao Xun motioned to the ten primates behind him: "Go and catch them, remember to keep them alive, don't crush them to death."

The ten primates headed into the woods and soon dispersed, jumping up and down to catch fireflies.

Their movements are very agile and fast, and climbing up the tree is as easy as going home.

Some of them acted in unison with each other, and soon they caught several fireflies.

In this way, it took about half an hour to successfully capture ten fireflies.

Zhao Xun looked at the fireflies in a transparent glass bottle, put two flowers in it so that they could eat nectar, and poked two air holes in the lid.

If there is air, a firefly can live for three or four days without eating or drinking, not to mention he has prepared some food.

Should be able to survive until the ceremony is performed.

Zhao Xun tried it and found that neither the glass bottle nor the fireflies could be put into the storage compartment.

Whether it was because fireflies, a living creature, could not be put into the storage compartment, or because the "ritual items" set in the game could not be put into the storage compartment, he could only act with it in his hands anyway.

The same goes for the luminous stone I found before. It cannot be put into the storage compartment and can only be stuffed into the pocket.

In order to avoid breaking the glass bottle, Zhao Xun took out a clean towel, wrapped the glass bottle, and stuffed it into his coat pocket.

Then, he put the ten primates back into the small millstone, and he turned into a large bat and flew straight towards the opposite side.

The location of the wintersweet bush is exactly opposite to the location of the fireflies, on the farthest diagonal line.

Moreover, when the wintersweet tree is above the mountainside, it is much faster to fly over than to climb up.

Zhao Xun quickly flew to the mountainside and saw the wintersweet trees.

But before he could get close, he was blocked by a flock of crows.

Listening to the hoarse cries of the crows, Zhao Xun felt a little headache.

The communication with the macaques was so smooth that he forgot about the language barrier for a short time.

He had no idea what the crow was saying.

Although from the attitude of the crows, he knew that they were driving him away and not allowing him to get close to the wintersweet.

But he was unable to communicate normally with the crows, and he could not get the answers he wanted from the crows' mouths for some more complex questions.

However, you can still try hypnosis.

Simple questions can still be asked.

Even if he couldn't understand what the crows were saying, as long as they could understand what he was saying and give answers with actions, the result would be good.

The bat's eyes brightened slightly, and all the noisy crows fell silent instantly.

Only the previous response remained in the valley.

But it soon returned to calm.

In view of the crow's vengeful character, any omission of one without hypnosis may bring him trouble, so he controlled all the crows.

"Do you know where the altar is?" Zhao Xun first asked the question he was most concerned about, "If you know, just turn around in a circle."

Soon, all the crows were spinning in circles.

"Take me there." Zhao Xun said immediately, "Immediately."

Dewdrops can be collected at any time, but the altar must be looked at first.

Regardless of any other gains, at least you can understand the layout of the altar first, which will also be helpful for subsequent plans.

The crows all turned around and flew towards the cave.

"Wait a minute," Zhao Xun suddenly called to the crows, "just one of them can lead the way. The rest will continue to guard the wintersweet here and protect its safety."

Although he is the only player in this dream game, it does not mean that there are not other NPCs who may destroy the items needed for the ritual.

It's not a good thing to let all the crows go AWOL, and they have to be relied on to guard the wintersweet.

The crows immediately returned to their respective places in a tacit understanding, leaving the largest crow flying in front of Zhao Xun.

"Let's go." Zhao Xun motioned to the big crow.

The big crow chirped and flew quickly towards the entrance of the cave.

Zhao Xun followed closely.

The crow flew very fast, and even after entering the cave, it still did not slow down.

Fortunately, there are not many obstacles in the cave. You only need to control the angle and direction when turning to avoid hitting the wall.

The characteristic of bats is that they can sense obstacles ahead in advance.

Following along, he neither lost sight of the crow nor bumped into a stone wall.

After flying like this for about ten minutes, the big crow finally stopped.

Zhao Xun landed next to the big crow, and turned back to his human form the moment he landed.

This is indeed a road that Zhao Xun has never walked before.

However, there is a dead end inside, so it naturally forms a room.

There was no door made outside, so Zhao Xun and Da Crow walked into the room easily.

In the center of the room is a large smooth stone slab for adults to lie on. The stone is carved with complex patterns and incomprehensible characters.

Three stone trays were placed on the top of the stone. There was nothing in the trays.

It looks like it is used to place the items needed for the three rituals.

Zhao Xun stared at the words on the stone tablet for a long time, until his eyes were dazzled and he couldn't see anything.

He asked the crow: "Do you understand what is written here? If you do, just nod." (End of Chapter)
