Chapter 249: Five Branches of the Hungry Ghost Apocalypse Have Surfaced One After Another

Chapter 249 Five branches of "The End of the Hungry Ghosts" have surfaced one after another

"You mean, you have deduced the progress of the branch line of 'Mysterious Leyline' to 75%, but you are stuck in the final answer link?"

Jiang Qian quickly extracted the key information from the dense words of the black brother Apu:

"Tell me about your problem-solving process."

"okay……"

Apu recalled carefully and told the truth:

"Let me highlight the key points. The first branch plot was triggered when we hid in an ancient church to avoid the eyes and ears of hunters, and accidentally triggered the mission."

"The information point is a network line map hidden under the church... There are some inexplicable numbers drawn on the edge of the map, which I can't understand."

"Fortunately, Shanta is a fan of decoding! She actually found the code book in the library according to the diagram on the back of the map, and deduced that this picture is the distribution map of the 'mysterious leyline'. Hey, don't mention how cool it is!"

Apu's face was full of pride:

"The second information point is a code word, which roughly means: The mysterious earth connects humans and gods. This is a clue we obtained from the house of a highly respected priest in the church records..."

"The third information point comes from the diary of a local stranger who lives in seclusion in the mountains and makes a living by hunting. He once witnessed a strange scene in the mountains, which can be roughly described as: when small herbivores drink water from a certain spring, they will He was inspired to be as brave as a large beast. To sum it up, he believed that God bestowed power on all things through mountain springs.”

"After finding these three clues, we triggered the permission to fill in the answer. The question is: Where is the source of the mysterious leyline... The answer is limited to 20 characters."

After Apu finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Qian:

"How's it going? Is there any matching information in your database?"

"Where's the earth vein distribution map?" Jiang Qian asked.

"It's in the backpack behind your seat. Why don't you take it and take a look for yourself?"

Jiang Qian followed his instructions and took out the spider-web-shaped leyline distribution map Apu mentioned. While spreading it out, he continued to ask: "What was the wrong answer you tried to fill in?"

"Well, Santa and I have tried to verify it. The wrong answers are: North Sea, North Sea Islands, Paradise, Mysterious Land..."

Apu was a little embarrassed and gave four wrong answers and explained:

"According to the location of the ley line map, the source of the mysterious ley line should be in the North Sea, so we tried the North Sea and the North Sea Islands, but the result was no... Later, Santa tried to fill in 'Paradise', uh, because the clue said ley lines It connects humans and gods. Maybe gods are in the sky..."

Jiang Qian stared at the earth vein map, his expression unmoving: "So you filled in the 'mysterious place' because after the dungeon announced the coordinates for the second time, it mentioned information about the mysterious place on the North Sea, so you tried to fill in the answer, right?"

"That's it..."

"Yes, the wrong answer has been falsified from all dimensions."

"Hey, are you making fun of us?"

"It's a compliment, please be careful."

As he spoke, Jiang Qian took out the atlas and pen and paper from his backpack, and compared the river channels and the lines of the leyline map in the atlas to make a miniature copy of the longitude and latitude lines of the map.

At this time, Jiang Qian had already turned on his spiritual vision, and his control of details was particularly precise. With the support of auxiliary lines from a professional atlas, a miniature version of the earth vein map soon appeared on the atlas with complete latitude and longitude.

The origin of the earth's veins is located on an inconspicuous island in the North Sea Islands that Ap just mentioned.

Fortunately, the exact name of the island can be found in this atlas!

"Devil's Eye Island, try this answer." Jiang Qian put down his pen and said.

Apu was stunned for a moment, holding the steering wheel and looking at Jiang Qian several times: "Are you sure? If I fail this verification, I won't have any more chances..."

Jiang Qian did not give much advice: "The risk is yours, and the decision-making power is also yours."

"Forehead……"

Apu hesitated for a while, then suddenly shouted several times to the back row: "Santa? Santa?"

After trying unsuccessfully, he glanced at Jiang Qian and said, "Brother Qianlong, can you help me wake up Sangta first?"

"..."

A few minutes later, Shantae shouted so excitedly that she nearly flipped the roof of the van off!

"Oh~ That's incredible! My props can be taken out!"

By this time Apu had stopped the van.

He then entered the correct answer and looked at Jiang Qian with admiration after unlocking the item:

"Oh my savior! How did you do that?"

"Go further based on your answers."

Jiang Qian smiled modestly.

His open-minded and reliable performance undoubtedly made this potential alliance soar in his favorability.

Jiang Qian tore off a few pages from his notebook and handed them to Apu:

"I have to go. The information you provided is very meaningful. If there is any news in the future, I will contact you through these pieces of paper. Please be vigilant. Of course, you can also take the initiative to contact me by..."

After explaining to Apsanta and the other two, Jiang Qian jumped out of the van, stretched out his blue-gray wings, and soared into the air under the admiring gazes of the two!

That night, Jiang Qian unexpectedly received a message from the postman - Kangaroo:

The city the kangaroo goes to is "Youlong City", which is the city closest to the coastline.

It is said that this city believes in a mysterious giant beast of the sea, which has several thick and powerful tentacles. It looks like an octopus, but is much larger than an octopus. It can often swallow cruise ships on the sea.

People fear it, explore it, and try to conquer it!

But usually return in failure.

Therefore, it is worshipped as a sea totem and called: Youlong!

But Jiang Qian quickly determined through Kangaroo's description that this North Sea monster was the Kraken sea monster tattooed on Monat's body.

Of course, Kangaroo's first arrival in Youlong City certainly did not explore most of the side quests like Apu and Santa's combination, so the clues he provided were very general and it was difficult to grasp the key points at once.

Therefore, after encouraging him, Jiang Qian asked him to continue exploring and try to find the nearby Guardian camp players hiding, and find ways to get side information from them.

After replying to Kangaroo, Jiang Qian received a "letter" from Monat, informing them that they were about to set off.

Everything was moving forward in full swing.

The next morning.

Jiang Qian received additional clues about Pulse City from Crocodile, and news about Ice City from Beth:

Crocodile found the mysterious spring in Ice City that "can give power", and after confirming the effect of the spring, he immediately informed Jiang Qian of the news and waited for a decision.

The information here is different from that provided by Apu: the spring water only makes animals more manic and fierce, but not really good at attacking like large beasts.

The message sent by Beth made Jiang Qian fall into deep thought:

Ice City is a city that makes people feel inexplicably cold.

This kind of cold is not in the physical sense, but a chill that permeates from the clues of the city and acts on the spiritual level!

According to Beth's description: The feature of this city is "window toys", which can be understood as sealing living specimens or beautifully made dolls in glass covers and selling them as ornamental ornaments.

There are many types of "window toys", which are different from the ornaments enclosed in the cover, and the most common one is the specimen.

Even after the devastating catastrophe, there are still countless window toys left in the Frozen City. Looking at them in the sunlight, they are like living bodies that have just been sealed in the transparent ice layer, dead but not stiff, and lifelike.

From the words described by Beth, Jiang Qian imagined the window toys in the streets and alleys of the Frozen City.

After a short silence, he asked Beth:

"Why do you feel cold?"

Toys of this level do not bring any burden or stimulation to Jiang Qian just by imagination, indicating that there may be some kind of spiritual pollution source in the Frozen City, which will affect the players within the city.

After a while, he received Beth's reply:

"Because you are not free."

Jiang Qian closed his notebook with all his thoughts.

At this time, the "Source of the Disaster" branch of Lotus City and the so-called "Mystery of Scientists' Intrigue" in Twin City were connected. Among the branch clues of the six cities, only the Pendulum City has not yet unveiled a corner of the mystery.

As he continued to fly, Jiang Qian quickly integrated the various clues he learned in his mind.

What he cared about most was the branch information of "Twin City" provided by the Tyrannosaurus team:

First, Twin City is the location of the Biologists Forum.

Dr. Kate naturally traveled frequently between Twin City and Lotus City for communication.

In this strong academic atmosphere, Dr. Kate met his academic rival in this life, Hermite, who was the character for whom Kate wrote a special message in "The Miracle of Genes".

The two of them specialized in the same field, had similar academic abilities, and both had many works.

Jiang Qian even felt that even the name of the city "Twin City" was a strong hint of the relationship between the two.

On this basis, the Tyrannosaurus team got the information of Dr. Kate's granddaughter Elizabeth, and when they could not find more effective information, they decisively went to Lotus City to search for the whereabouts of Kate's granddaughter, hoping that Elizabeth could fill the gap in the branch task.

Of course, they did not succeed.

The embarrassing thing is that they, a group of six, did not even unlock the questions in the Twin City branch task. Jiang Qian was very disappointed with their IQ.

Therefore, he also reminded Canyon Lao Liu that he must pay more attention to the intelligence of the side missions in Gemini City to avoid missing important clues.

"I don't know what progress Lao Liu has made..."

Jiang Qian looked down at the miniature wilderness jungle below him, and continued to fly high towards the target location.

...

The intersection of Pendulum City and Gemini City.

In the courtyard of an abandoned farm, Canyon Lao Liu and Northeast Home Cooking were standing back to back with weapons.

Around the two of them, there were foreign players with different clothes and hair colors.

The irony is that these foreigners are also defenders!

"Monkey, Monkey Brother, what's going on? How come these idiots even betray our own people!"

Northeast Home Cooking is not good at fighting. This urgent situation of being surrounded and beaten scared him so much that he was sweating on the back of his forehead. He was most afraid of being repeatedly abandoned in a fight!

Canyon Laoliu was also depressed: "Don't ask me! Ask yourself how you translated it?"

"Ah? I, I translated it according to your original words!"

The two were whispering. Outside the encirclement, the foreigner who was the leader of the guards coughed and laughed coldly:

"After talking for a long time, aren't you just trying to trick us into fighting in the military fortress?"

He spat, raised his pistol and aimed at Canyon Laoliu's head:

"Sorry, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, we won't go to die."

The last sentence, without the translation of Northeast home cooking, Canyon Laoliu can understand it.

Not going to die...

This mentality is easy to understand.

Even the dungeon hints that the defenders have two options: fight! Or hide.

But is it really so?

Canyon Lao Liu looked at the people who surrounded him. The six players who held the bottom line and did not eat people or crawlers, all of them had Nordic physical characteristics and held props.

Very strong combat power!

At the same time, it also means that these people have unlocked at least one of the side quests in Twin City or Pendulum City.

To exaggerate: These people are all treasures! It's a shortcut!

Must be taken! Take it and take off directly!

Canyon Lao Liu was even a little excited when he thought of this.

He poked the shivering dark man with his elbow:

"Hey, don't panic, tell them what I said... Just say: The most courageous and resourceful guardians in this copy have formed a powerful military alliance. After rigorous layout and intensive output of strategies and tactics, they are preparing to fight a decisive battle with the enemy camp at the North Sea Military Fortress!"

"The guardians are determined to win, and the hunters are like a pile of loose sand! The final winner must be us, the guardians!"

"Now the two of us are small messengers in the Guardian Corps, just carrying out the task of summoning other guardians to participate in the victory attack."

"If they participate..."

Canyon Lao Liu muttered a lot, and he couldn't remember so many words under the tension of Northeast Home Cooking. He was so anxious that he just wiped his sweat:

"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, can we be more concise? Do you think I can talk to them like this? Just say..."

"No! Translate it to me without changing a word!"

Canyon Lao Liu's hair stood up at that time.

If this paragraph is simplified to the extreme, there are only four words left: "I am a liar"!

"But I can't remember this either~ What should I do, Monkey?"

The two of them started whispering again, making the surrounding Guardian players impatient.

Especially the foreigner who had the highest status among the crowd, who was so angry at the arrogant behavior of the two players in the same camp that his veins popped out:

"What are you two talking about? Do you think anyone can't understand Northeastern dialect?"

The Nordic guy couldn't hold it back and started to talk back in Chinese! To be precise, he used an authentic Northeastern accent.

When these words came out, Canyon Laoliu and Northeastern Home Cooking were stunned.

Especially Northeastern Home Cooking, the experience at that time can be said to be like a spring breeze! He was no longer nervous, and his legs were no longer trembling, as if he had met his long-lost brother:

"Oh my god, fellow countrymen meet!"

The Nordic brother rolled his eyes and said with some disdain: "My eyes are full of tears."

"Hey! Where in the Northeast are you from, brother?"

"I'm not from the Northeast, but my second uncle's eldest sister found a son-in-law from the Northeast, and now our family speaks in this tone..."

"Oh! Oh! My mother-in-law's family!"

"..."

This dramatic scene stunned the sixth player in the canyon.

Including the other foreign players around, although they didn't understand what the two were communicating, they were all hesitant when they saw the joyful and lively atmosphere: Can't we fight today?

Northeastern home cooking has completely overcome the fear of war, and happily said to the relative opposite:

"Don't worry, relative, I will translate for you~"

"Don't bother, I can understand."

The sharp eyes of the Nordic drag brother refocused on the Canyon Lao Liu:

"Brother, save your tricks, tell me the truth, why should I work for you?"

The heart of the Canyon Lao Liu is surging!

The excitement is that the translation crisis has been resolved, and the anxiety is that his routine has been seen through. It's understandable, who let him have relatives in the Northeast?

But the Canyon Lao Liu can't and won't retreat at this time.

He must prove his strength in front of Qianlong Wuyong!

"You must participate in this decisive battle. The option of avoiding is just a trick of the dungeon."

The sixth old man in the canyon put away his weapon, took two steps forward, and solemnly launched a new round of lobbying:

"According to the location of the second coordinate announcement, the hunter's general attack on the human military fortress will be launched within 5 days. Now is the 26th day of the 72-day survival process of the dungeon. After 5 days, the time in the dungeon is not half over. By then, the winner will probably be decided. The worst result is that humans are on the verge of extinction and the mysterious land of the North Sea will be invaded."

"We don't know what the consequences of these things happening now mean. But have you ever thought about it? Once the defender camp is defeated and the hunter wins the absolute initiative, then what can we do to ensure our own safety in the long and unknown survival progress of dozens of days in the future?"

The sixth old man in the canyon stared at the deep blue eyes of the Nordic guy, and went further:

"What will those crazy people who are so crazy that they even eat their own kind do to us?"

...

PS:

The typos and defects will be corrected later.

I am a little short of energy today, so I will add more updates later. Don't worry, I am not refusing to pay! Snake Boss still owes 4 more chapters, and Qian Da owes 5 more chapters...
