Chapter 91 Sensitive Content
The fire was blazing, and the monster, which was over three meters long, was burned to charcoal in the flames.
Feng Ling picked up some dry grass and branches and threw them into the fire.
"Can you still be resurrected after being burned like this?" she asked Li Qing.
Li Qing shook his head. "Genetic evolution can allow organisms to create miracles, but it cannot create myths. Once dead, they are dead. It is impossible for them to come back to life."
"Then why did it come back to life last time?" Huangfu Miaomiao asked puzzledly.
"I don't know. Maybe its vital parts are not injured, or maybe there is some substance in its body that can help it heal quickly." Li Qing replied honestly.
"Is it a substance like a powerful recovery agent?" Huangfu Miaomiao asked again.
Li Qing thought about it and said, "Maybe..."
Feng Ling looked at the corpse in the fire for a while, kicked a stone on the road, turned around and said, "Let's go, maybe we can meet the Minotaur later."
Pei Xianjue was filming the fire. Hearing this, he looked in both directions of the mountain trail and said, "I don't know where the monster will come out from. If it's at the bottom of the mountain... the injured hero is definitely no match for the monster."
Li Qing said: "The Minotaur should be on the mountain now."
"Why?" Feng Ling turned around and looked at him.
"I'm not 100% sure, it's just a guess." Li Qing pondered, "Didn't you see the Minotaur with the drone last night? It was the only monster on the mountain path at the time, right? This means that under normal circumstances, it and the Horse-Faced Monster would not appear together. One of them might be responsible for patrolling the mountain during the day, and the other for patrolling the mountain at night, so that they can rest at different times."
Li Qing paused for a moment and continued, "They are monsters, not perpetual motion machines. They always need to eat and rest."
Pei Xianjue couldn't help but ask, "Then how do you explain the fact that Haohan and Baozi were attacked by the Minotaur during the day?"
"You set out at around 5 a.m., which is the time when night and day alternate. If the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Guards were changing shifts at this time, it makes sense that the Ox-Head had not gone far when you met Horse-Faced Guards and was attracted here by the sound of fighting," Li Qing replied.
"So that's how it is..." Pei Xianjue murmured thoughtfully, "After the heroes defeated the horse-faced monster, the Minotaur heard the noise and rushed over. We happened to be in the safe zone at that time. When we returned to the mountain road, the Minotaur had already left..."
Her eyes suddenly widened. "Ah, so the Minotaur is probably sleeping somewhere in the mountains? Should we take advantage of this opportunity..."
Pei Xianjue got stuck in the middle of his speech.
She originally wanted to say that they should take advantage of the fact that the Minotaur was asleep and strike first, but then she thought of Liang Zhou whose whereabouts were unknown.
Should she go down the mountain and look for Liang Zhou?
Or go up the mountain and kill the Minotaur?
Feng Ling, who was in front of her, heard what she said and looked back at her in silence, "We are already halfway down the mountain."
Pei Xianjue felt relieved upon hearing this, but still a little guilty. He smiled at Feng Ling and said, "Then, shall we go down the mountain?"
Feng Ling didn't stop walking, complaining: "Deputy Captain Pei, you should at least be more resolute. It was you who wanted to go down the mountain to save people, and now it's you who wants to go up the mountain to find the Minotaur. What did you say just now? ... Oh, seven years of love, seven years, longer than dating. And your father, he used money and power to corrupt human nature and destroyed the purity and loyalty of a bodyguard. You have to take responsibility and can't let Liang Haohan's body be exposed in the wilderness, right?"
Pei Xianjue's face turned red and black, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "...You have a good memory." He remembered the exact words.
Pei Xianjue quietly defended himself: "I just felt that this was a rare opportunity, so I hesitated for a moment. If I could kill the Minotaur, it would be considered revenge for a hero... Well, okay, I admit that for a moment, I was too eager for quick success. I am just an ordinary person. Everyone has their own limitations and complexities. You should understand that, right? Although I hesitated just now, I went down the mountain to save people absolutely from the bottom of my heart. I am not the kind of person who plays two-faced tricks..."
Feng Ling looked back at her and said with emotion, "You are really good at talking. You are almost talking nonsense. Now I believe that Liang Haohan must have been bewitched by your father. Is your father better at talking than you?"
Pei Xianjue pulled the corner of his mouth unhappily, "Can we just have a good chat and not mention my dad?"
Huangfu Miaomiao at the back couldn't help but interrupt: "But how can we be sure that there is only one Minotaur on the mountain? This mountain is so big, there may be many Minotaur and Horse-Faced Monsters."
Li Qing shook his head slowly. "Both the Bull-Headed and the Horse-Faced Monster are unique. If the maze requires multiple monsters to appear on this mountain path, other monsters can be arranged. Since the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Monster is used, it should not violate common sense."
"Uniqueness..." Feng Ling was slightly inspired when he heard this word and thought of himself.
You are the source of life, you are the mother of the world...
There will never be a second source of life, and there will never be a second mother of the world. These words all imply the uniqueness of the mother nest. According to this line of thought, the replication characteristics of the mirror salamander are exactly the opposite of the mother nest. Could this be the reason why the mirror salamander card brings her a pollution value of up to 14%?
Feng Ling was just thinking about it when he heard Huangfu Miaomiao complain: "How can the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons be considered common sense..."
Pei Xianjue smiled and said, "It's common sense for us humans, but it might be difficult for alien species."
Li Qing disagrees. "Any game will use the corresponding culture as the background basis. Entering the game without doing a strategy is the player making it more difficult for themselves. It is not a problem of game design."
Huangfu Miaomiao was very angry when she heard this. "You are the administrator, so of course it's easy for you to say that. After we log in, we players have to hide our identities, learn how to treat people, handle interpersonal relationships, learn how to use mobile phones and computers, and find ways to complete tasks without being noticed! How can we have the time to study the strategies you mentioned!"
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, then said, "There are only 122 mazes in total. They were originally opened to a small number of players. Players who don't do a walkthrough can't solve the riddles, and naturally can't enter the maze."
Huangfu Miaomiao said angrily: "You mean I deserve it? I can't figure out the strategy, so I deserve not to earn points, right? It's obviously your fault. You deliberately tortured us, teased us, and took our embarrassment as fun. Is it fun to see us fighting for those few points? And that disgusting offline penalty, clearing the player's points! If it weren't for..."
She was cursing, and halfway through her cursing her voice suddenly turned into a chattering sound.
Li Qing frowned and spoke, and the words that came out were a series of chaotic sounds.
Pei Xianjue was stunned and looked at Feng Ling in surprise.
"It's okay~" Feng Ling shrugged, "Sensitive content, the system automatically blocked it, we can't understand it."
Pei Xianjue looked up at the sky, feeling that the ubiquitous system was terrifying.
"Why don't you try to persuade them?" she asked Feng Ling in a low voice.
Feng Ling walked in front and asked in confusion: "Why do you want to persuade me?"
