MTL - Start a Core Pod

  Chapter 661 Comer

   "Hoo......"

  Duanmu Huai also opened his eyes at this time, and then looked at Mary who fell on the ground, and was stunned for a moment.

"This is?"

   "Ah...Miss Mary seems to be feeling a bit uncomfortable..."

  At this moment, Ann and Guleya also hurried forward and helped Mary up.

   "Did the magic fail? But I think it succeeded?"

   Duanmuhuai can now clearly see that there is a pink line connecting himself and Mary.

   Well, of course, the location is a bit indescribable—but considering that this is a spell from the Pink Book, it seems understandable?

   "Uh... It's just that Miss Mary is not used to magic yet, she'll just rest for a while."

  An also hurriedly spoke at this moment.

   "Okay then, I'll go out and have a look first, you are here to take care of Mary."

  Duanmuhuai didn't think too much, just nodded and left the room. Seeing Duanmuhuai leave, An and Guleya breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Mary who was still in a trance at the moment. The girl's eyes were blurred, she was panting slightly, her whole body was limp and powerless, and her face was blank. .

   "...I am very interested in the magic that Mister Knight just used."

  Ann stared at Mary, and then said in a low voice, Guleya was taken aback when she heard Ann's words, and turned her head to look at her.

"install?"

   "Isn't it fun?"

   "Uh...who are you going to use it for?"

"whee………"

  Hearing Guleya's question, Ann smiled at her, and seeing An's smile, Guleya trembled all over, and subconsciously took a step back.

   Well, it all goes without saying.

  At the same time, Duanmu Huai was experiencing the power of the golden pupil to the fullest in the small town.

   "This is really amazing... Tsk tsk tsk, why is no one brushing it in the game?"

  Looking at the world in front of him, Duanmuhuai couldn't help feeling emotional.

  Of course, if you just look at it, it doesn't seem to make any difference. But when Duanmuhuai focused his will on his right eye, he could see different rays of light. Mary couldn't explain what it was, but Duanmuhuai understood it at a glance.

   This is the direction mark.

  In the eyes of Mu Huai at the front of the eyes, everyone has a direction mark, pointing straight to the distance, that is to say, just by looking at it, you can know where these people come from and where they are going. For example, the guard is going to drink in the tavern next to him, and the man on the other side is going to go fishing by the river. Even if it is a black cat chasing a mouse, Duanmu Huai can see how it is through the broken glass window. Drilled out, and then chased the prey into the alley.

  And if you focus on a certain goal, you can see everything related to it.

  For example, the river right now.

   "Is this the problem here?"

  Duanmu Huai stood by the river, looking towards the river in front of him, the dark aura in the belly of the pregnant lady before was connected with this river, that is to say, does the dead baby have something to do with this river?

   But no traces of curses or magic were detected... hmmm...

Duanmuhuai stared at the river again, concentrating, and soon, his eyes began to "go against the current", moving along the direction of the river, and then came to the cave in the mountain, and then Duanmuhuai saw a strange Dazzling flash, in a huge pond, a stone is exuding dazzling brilliance, and then...

   "Woo!"

  The next moment, a severe headache came, and Duanmuhuai came back to his senses, only to find that the light connecting him and Mary had disappeared.

   "Sure enough, it's not my golden pupil, so it's still troublesome to use."

  Obviously, the golden pupil is indeed a magic tool. In the game, this is simply a plug-in for automatic guidance. To put it simply, it's like when the player accepts the task, a direction mark appears directly for you, and the player can directly complete the task as long as the player follows the direction mark, which is simply cheating.

   But it's a pity that this thing doesn't seem to support sharing. Although Duanmuhuai is fine, Mary can't support it anymore...

   Forget it, anyway, the clue has been found.

   "My lord, it's bad!"

   At this moment, a guard ran over panting. His face was pale and terrified, while Duanmuhuai closed his eyes and stared at him.

"What's wrong?"

   "Strange, monster! There are monsters in the mine!"

The guard who came back was exactly one of the guards who Duanmuhuai ordered to follow the kid to check the mine. According to his account, the group of people followed the kid to the mine mouth halfway up the mountain, only to find that the mine that should have been closed was indeed closed. It was smashed open by something. Everyone was taken aback at the time. Originally, they should have left immediately to report the news to Duanmuhuai, but several miner-born guards were dazed by the destructive atmosphere of the mine, and then walked into the dark mine. Want to find out what happened in the mine.

But soon, the guards left outside heard the screams from inside. The screams that seemed to tear their souls made the others tremble. They dropped their weapons almost immediately and ran away in a hurry. back.

"I see."

   Duanmuhuai thought for a moment, then nodded.

   "I will deal with it and ask your people to block all mine entrances and exits-are there many entrances and exits?"

   "Only two, I'll plug them all up!"

  The returning guard looked pale and his lips trembled, but he mustered up the courage to answer.

   "Need me to notify your companions?"

   "I don't need it for now, it's better for me to handle this matter alone."

  Although Huang Jintong didn't see the end, Duanmuhuai had already made some guesses, which might also explain why neither the priest nor the paladin noticed the problem. Because this has gone beyond their knowledge and common sense. Just as for people in other worlds, the so-called magic or magic is more like a trick to deceive people, some things are also very strange for people in this world.

The entrance to the mine is located on the mountainside behind the town, where there are still railroad tracks, and you can see the empty minecarts around - obviously, they once had a glorious time, but the dust and cobwebs all over the minecarts now show that period Gone are the days.

   "Stay away from here, don't come near, don't let anybody in."

   Before entering the cave, Duanmu Huai turned around again and said to the mayor and the garrison officer.

   "If you want to come in, then you will do so at your own risk."

   "Is it dangerous inside?"

   "You don't need to know this."

  Duanmuhuai's cold gaze stopped the mayor's stupid and curious inquiries.

   "If you want to come in, please feel free, after all, I have warned you."

  After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned and left, while the others swallowed, looked at each other for a moment, and then backed away.

   They're not stupid.

  The mine is dark and dark.

   Duanmuhuai clenched his hands into fists and strode in. The cramped space wasn't ideal for him to swing the Thunderhammer or the Power Sword, but that didn't matter. For Duanmuhuai, these fists alone are enough to turn all creatures who dare to stand in front of him into a pile of meat paste.

   Even more effective than Warhammer.

   "click...click click click click...!"

  As Duanmuhuai went deep into the mine, there was a strange noise in his helmet, but Duanmuhuai was not surprised by this noise. It can even be said that he had already guessed it!

   "Sure enough, **** radiation!"

  Looking at the radiation level warning from the helmet, Duanmuhuai clenched his fists.

   This is what he guessed when he saw the last scene through the golden pupil, although in the magical world, it is not surprising that stones will glow, and it can even be said that many gemstones will also glow. But Duanmu Huai quickly thought of what Priest Tire had said before, that their investigation had yielded nothing.

  If that stone was the work of some kind of magic, there was no way they could not have noticed it. But what if that's not magic?

  Can radioactive substances be detected by detecting toxins or detecting curses?

   Duanmu Huai didn't know what the basis for this kind of magic was to detect, but now it seems that these magics obviously have no effect on the radiation produced by nature.

   So, it was just an accident?

  Duanmuhuai doesn't think so, the reason is very simple, this is an iron mine, if there had been a radiation mine long ago, then the miners in Locke Town would probably have died a long time ago. But you said that if the ones dug out recently are not right, it can be seen from the previous mine carts that because the mines have been exhausted, Locke Town has not opened for mining for a long time, and there is no such thing.

That is to say, someone deliberately put a piece of radiation ore here, in order to poison the people in the lower reaches of the river. It is no news that radiation pollution causes fetal malformation and miscarriage. Understood, the only thing to say is that this process is a bit too fast, and it doesn't seem to be happening anywhere else.

  Perhaps it was because Locke Town was the closest, so it was the most affected?

   This is also the reason why Duanmuhuai didn't let Ann, Mary and others come with him. The judge's power armor can resist all radiation, extreme cold and high temperature, and can move freely in a vacuum. But he didn't believe that Ann's magic could protect him from radiation pollution.

  Radiation ores, but unlike ordinary radiation ores, Faerun doesn’t seem to produce such things. Could it be from another world? That would be even more interesting, who, for what purpose, and from what world brought it here?

You must know that the surrounding area is deserted except Locke Town, and it is not a densely populated place like Waterdeep City or Neverwinter City. Generally speaking, if you use radiation to cause pollution, you can choose those big cities to launch an attack instead of such a small place. ...

   "Huh——!"

   While Duanmu Huai was thinking, suddenly, a sharp spear-like thing emerged from the dark shadows, stabbed at Duanmu Huai's head, then hit Duanmu Huai's helmet heavily and bounced away. Feeling the impact of the battle, Duanmuhuai let out an angry roar, calmed down, stretched out his hand to grab the long spear, and pulled it hard. Then, accompanied by a scream, a black shadow fell from the air and died. down, hitting the ground.

  At this moment, under the illumination of the searchlight, Duanmuhuai clearly saw the monster attacking him——its body was like an adult human, but it was only the body. His limbs are very slender, especially the forearm and calf, which are as long as the feet of a spider, and this monster has no neck at all, and its distorted face is "embedded" in the middle of the shoulders, chin There was a scream of pain as it opened and closed, and the muddy and dirty blood sprayed out from the break of one of the feet, and sprinkled the entire cave.

   What the **** is this? Spider humans?

Duanmu Huai was also stupefied looking at this ghost in front of him. He had never seen similar mutated monsters before, but he was certain that these things should be the monsters that came out of the women's stomachs in Locke Town before, because Duanmu Huai remembered It is clear that the mayor and the captain of the garrison once said that the victim's body seemed to be pierced and torn by something like a spear...

   Duanmu Huai looked at the section in his hand, it looked like a slender human calf being pulled, but the place where the sole should be was stood up high, forming a sharp tip.

  Well, it seems that this is the murder weapon.

It's just that this thing is obviously bigger than Duanmuhuai imagined. You must know that this thing was hidden in a woman's stomach at first, and it would only be as big as a baby no matter how you guessed it, but now the monster's body is as big as a strong adult Men are about the same.

  It depends on what it eats... Uh, it can't be radiation.

   Duanmu Huai's face darkened, he felt more and more that this was a conspiracy.

   Twisted corpses of dead babies, mutated monsters that feed on radiation, plus a stone that radiates radiant energy.

   Putting these three things together, Duanmuhuai always gave Duanmuhuai a kind of standard plot that seemed to be the beginning of some mission.

"snort!"

Duanmuhuai stepped on the distorted monster, directly crushing its body into a **** mess, then he clenched his fists and continued to walk inside - the mines extend in all directions, but for Duanmuhuai It doesn't matter anymore, he just needs to follow the radiation detector and find the place with the highest radiation concentration.

The deeper you went into the mine, the more weird monsters there were. Duanmuhuai also saw the corpses of the soldiers who entered the mine before. Their bodies were pierced, their abdomens were cut open, and the internal organs inside were scattered all over the place. Apparently the monsters that gnawed on them didn't seem quite familiar with how to eat. But Duanmu Huai didn't doubt that these monsters would understand after a few experiments.

   But unfortunately, they have no chance.

   "Zhizhizhi——!"

This distorted monster screamed like a mouse, and rushed towards Duanmu Huai. Their attack method is very simple, that is, they use their spear-like limbs to pierce the enemy's body, and then throw They rip. But this move was totally useless to Duanmu Huai, he didn't even intend to hide, but let the opponent hit him.

   "Clang——!"

   Duanmuhuai remained motionless like a rock, but the monster screamed and backed away, but Duanmuhuai had stretched out his fist at this moment, and punched the monster's body with one punch, directly breaking it in half. Then he grabbed the monster's stump and slammed it, breaking the slender leg of another monster. The moment it fell to the ground, a big steel foot slammed down.

"boom!"

   The monster's stump trembled for a moment, and then there was no response.

   "Waste."

   Duanmuhuai clapped his hands, stood up and continued to move forward. He had already heard the sound of running water, which meant that he was getting closer and closer to his destination. If he was right, when he walked around this corner, he would see an underground lake, and there would be a glowing stone in the center of the underground lake.

  But Duanmu Huai saw only darkness.

The sudden darkness was not even able to penetrate Duanmuhuai's searchlight. It wasn't until a moment later, when Duanmuhuai saw the crimson flesh and sharp teeth wriggling in front of him through the light, that he realized what had happened. .

   "Fuck, what the hell!"

   Duanmuhuai let out a roar, stretched out his hand, grabbed the mouth where the opponent was biting his head, and pulled hard. I saw that rubber-like skin and muscles were torn apart abruptly by Duanmuhuai. Soon, a gap was torn open in the originally dark space, and then Duanmuhuai roared and used his hands again to directly expand the gap. The gap, and then he threw the idiot who attacked him to the ground.

   That's a snake.

   It just looks like it is not just a snake, but more like a fusion of some strange animals. It has a wolf-like head, a snake body, and even gecko-like feet and tail. This looks weird and twisted. But unfortunately, in front of Duanmu Huai, this twisted, mutant and deformed monster had no effect. Its head had been directly torn in half by Duanmu Huai, turning into a pile of flesh and blood that collapsed on the ground.

  Then, Duanmuhuai saw the shining stone.

   "Didididididi——!"

   At the same time, the radiation alarm sound also increased rapidly. Obviously, the radiation brought by this stone has exceeded the critical value. Fortunately, Duanmuhuai's power armor can completely resist this level of radiation. He walked into the underground lake, came to the stone, and stared at it.

"Where are you from?"

  Duanmu Huai didn’t believe that this stone was produced locally. It was about one meter high and looked like a semicircular stone, emitting a light as bright as an incandescent lamp. Duanmuhuai remembered that there was this kind of ore in the game, which was used by certain races to manufacture power systems, but it was a relatively backward power source.

   Soon, Duanmu Huai found the answer. He found a corpse not far from the ore—a corpse that did not belong to this world.

  The reason why Duanmuhuai is so sure is also obvious. No one in this world would walk around in a space suit or space armor.

   Except myself.

And this person also fell in the lake at this moment. His cause of death is obvious. From his lost lower body, it can be seen that the deceased should have been attacked by some kind of local monster here, and then was torn in half. Unfortunately, he died, so the stone he brought can be easily explained.

  The people who brought it are dead, so it is impossible for it to run away on its own, right?

   But when Duanmuhuai turned the corpse over and saw its swollen, sore face and the profane, ugly marks on its chest, what Duanmuhuai got was far more than he imagined.

   "The followers of the taint of corruption..."

   Staring viciously at the corpse in front of him, Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth.

   "You really ran to a far away place..."
