This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic

  Chapter 438 Law of Order

  Seeing that the army of undead successfully prevented the barrier from closing, Caesar did not immediately walk out of the entrance and return to the desert. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the tall tower standing in the center of the oasis.

  Lighthouse, the core of this divine realm, the bedroom that the lamp **** once built for himself, and also the hiding place of the pen of order.

  Caesar knew very well that someone who dared to come here with a magic lamp would rather release him than break into here. The purpose must be the magic pen in the lighthouse!

   This is an artifact that he has been waiting for for thousands of years. How can he let others get it first?

  Caesar hurriedly moved the giant's body and rushed towards the lighthouse.

   On the other side, in a cave somewhere in the Oasis.

  Bing Lanqing is being imprisoned in this slightly damp and gloomy cave, curled up in a corner, motionless, and the entrance of the cave not far away is covered by a transparent barrier, preventing it from escaping.

Outside the cave, a stone frog covered in colorful beads was lying on a bluestone, its cheeks bulging and its mouth uttering a frog cry. It closed its eyes and rested. , no one disturbs anyone.

  Until a certain moment, Bing Lanqing, who was dozing in the cave, suddenly opened her eyes, jumped to the barrier at the entrance of the cave, and looked out anxiously.

  Just now, it suddenly sensed the existence of the 'magic fungus spore sac', which was her father's prop, and later fell into the mouth of the pocket toad.

   That said, Pocket Toad has come in here!

  Following Bing Lanqing's movement, the stone frog on the bluestone outside the cave also opened its eyes immediately.

Seeing Bing Lanqing, who is always extremely cold on weekdays, suddenly appear at the entrance of the cave with an anxious look on his face, the stone frog's eyes lit up, he hurriedly jumped to the front of the cave, and said courteously: "Xiao Bingbing, are you hungry? ? I have fresh food here!"

   As he said that, the stone frog opened its mouth, and spit out a bunch of dragonflies, grasshoppers and other small creatures from its mouth, and rolled it with its tongue and sent it into the barrier.

   "Eat it quickly, I just caught it today, freshness is guaranteed!" The stone frog looked at Bing Lanqing flatteringly.

  Bing Lanqing looked at the pile of worms with mucus on the ground, her face full of disgust. The reason why it has been on a hunger strike here is not because it really wants to show its ambition with death, but purely because the food provided by this guy is all spit out in front of it. It's too **** disgusting, who can eat it?

  The stone frog saw Bing Lanqing's indifferent appearance, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly heard a giant roar from a distance, and was startled.

   "No, my master is calling me... I'm sorry, Xiao Bingbing, I have to leave first!" After the stone frog finished speaking, he turned around and was about to jump away.

  Bing Lanqing in the cave hastily said: "Wait! Let me out, I will go too!"

   "Quack?"

  Shiwa looked back at Bing Lanqing in shock, a little unable to believe his ears, and then ecstatically: "Little Bingbing, you finally figured it out, are you willing to accept me?"

   "Get out! My husband is here, I'm going to see my husband!" Bing Lanqing cursed mercilessly.

"What?"

  The stone frog's eyes widened suddenly. The word 'husband', like a sharp arrow, pierced its petrified heart, causing it to feel a throbbing pain in its chest. The stone frog's skin turned red visible to the naked eye, and it was furious: "Okay, then I will kill it with my own hands in front of you, and make you give up!"

   "How dare you!" Bing Lanqing immediately grinned at it angrily: "If you dare to kill him, I will commit suicide!"

   "Little Bingbing, you...would rather sacrifice yourself for other frogs than accept me?" Stone Frog held his heart, feeling that his stone heart was being stabbed again, and he couldn't bear the pain.

   "So you should give up. No matter how long you imprison me, it will be useless. A twisted melon is not sweet. It is impossible between us!" Bing Lanqing snorted coldly.

   Another knowing critical blow, the stone frog clutched its chest and rolled on the ground in pain.

   After a while, the stone frog calmed down, got up and looked at Bing Lanqing again, with gloomy eyes, and with a wave of his right paw, the barrier in front of the cave dissipated immediately.

   "Well, I will definitely prove to you that I am better than any frog! I will use my actual actions to make you change your mind!"

   After finishing speaking, the stone frog ignored Bing Lanqing's reaction, turned around and jumped towards the lighthouse.

  Bing Lanqing was still a little dazed looking at the barrier that opened in front of her, she couldn't believe it was released so easily.

  Looking at the figure of the stone frog that quickly disappeared in front of him, Bing Lanqing hesitated for a while, but hurriedly followed.

  …

   At the same time, Mu You's figure had already appeared under the lighthouse first, and under the guidance of the troubadour, he successfully opened the stone gate under the tower with the magic lamp.

  After the enchantment of the Lamp God Realm was opened just now, Mu You secretly let Coke do some tricks, turning Caesar who appeared in the entrance into a walking 'cat teaser stick'.

   As we all know, no cat can resist the temptation of a cat teaser, so as soon as the entrance opened, a group of cats rushed towards Caesar.

   And Mu You also took advantage of Caesar's gaffe and slipped in. Under the guidance of the troubadour, he came to the lighthouse at the fastest speed.

   "Boom..."

  Under the dim light of the magic lamp, this tower, which has been silent for thousands of years, finally opened for the first time. As the two stone doors in front of him trembled and separated towards the two sides, a dark and deep entrance appeared in front of Mu You.

Coke trotted to the stone gate, peeked into the door carefully, then seemed to see something horrible, backed away quickly, hid behind Mu You, and said with lingering fear: "Mu You, it's dark inside, like a haunted house. Well, there is definitely a problem! Let's go back quickly!"

   "Then you can stay outside and wait."

  Mu You said casually, quickly checked the things on his body, and made sure that all the things that should be brought were on his body, so he was relieved.

   "Quack!" The frog yelled aggrievedly on his shoulder, a little anxious.

   "Don't worry, when I get the magic pen and eliminate the enemy, I'll have plenty of time to help you find a wife!" Mu You comforted it, then carried the oil lamp, took a breath, and stepped into the darkness in front of him.

  Looking at the disappearing figure of Mu You, Coke hesitated for a moment, but chose to stay outside the door, looked around suspiciously, and immediately prepared to find a corner to hide nearby.

   Unexpectedly, at this moment, a loud roar came from behind.

Coke looked back and saw a huge blue-skinned giant galloping towards the lighthouse at an unimaginable speed. The ferocious aura seemed to crush everything, which made Coke terrified. Tucking his tail, he jumped into the stone gate in front of him without even thinking about it.

   A moment later, Caesar's huge body also appeared in front of the tower.

  As soon as he saw the stone door opened in front of him, he immediately let out another unwilling roar, and then directly transformed into a blue light, and drilled into the stone door.

  The scene fell silent for a while.

   Tens of seconds later, two frogs crossed the jungle and jumped forward one after the other. It was the stone frog and the ice blue green.

  The stone frog jumped in front of the entrance, didn't rush in, but turned around and shouted at Bing Lanqing: "Xiao Bingbing, it's very dangerous inside, you wait for me outside first, I'll go...uh..."

  Unfortunately, before it finished speaking, Bing Lanqing jumped over it and plunged into the darkness inside the door.

   "Wait for me, Xiaobingbing..." Shiwa hurriedly followed.

  Accompanied by the two frogs also disappearing at the entrance, the scene was completely silent.

  …

  Mu You only felt the light dim in front of his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in a dark and deep passage, and the phantoms of the frog and the bard all disappeared.

  The first thing I did after entering the tower was to check my belongings in a hurry, because the lamp **** reminded me that some props might not be usable during the test of the magic pen.

  Mu You guessed at first, maybe it was the rule that items other than relics could not be used...

  However, the result of this inspection made him even more desperate.

   It's not just props other than relics. At this time, except for his ordinary clothes, all the magic props have disappeared!

   Not only that, even the magic power in his body disappeared completely, and his body also degenerated back to the state of an ordinary person without any attribute blessing before becoming a player.

  It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality, accustomed to a high-level body, and suddenly loses all strength at this time, which immediately makes Mu You feel an unprecedented emptiness.

   "So this trial must be carried out in the form of an ordinary person?" Mu You frowned secretly.

  After checking his physical condition, Mu You had time to check the surrounding environment.

  Looking to the left and right, there are walls on both sides, and some dots of matter are inlaid in the stone wall, providing a faint light, so that the place will not be completely dark. When Mu You looked up, the stone wall above was so high that it couldn't reach the top, and with his current body, he couldn't climb over it at all.

   Looking back, there is a wall behind him, directly blocking his way.

  That is to say, the only way to go is forward...

   Mu You looked at the deep darkness ahead, exhaled, and walked forward.

   Before he could go far, there was a mechanical sound of 'clicking' in the darkness ahead, as if his footsteps had disturbed something.

   Mu You looked up, and in the light of the passageway, a mechanical beast in the shape of a war horse slowly walked out of the darkness ahead.

   "Hiss..."

  After seeing his figure, the war horse stopped immediately, raised its head and let out a whine, then lowered its head, revealing the sharp one horn on its forehead, and at the same time, its left front hoof kicked the ground, which was a sign of an imminent attack.

   At the same time, Mu You felt as if he was holding something abruptly in his hand.

   Looking down, he realized that there was a writing brush in his palm at some point, which was as long as an ordinary magic wand. Except for the pinch of wolf hairs at the top, the overall shape looked like a dead branch that can be seen everywhere.

  【Pen of Illusory Order! 】

  The moment he saw the pen, the name of the pen automatically appeared in his mind.

  False pen of order...what does this mean?

   Do you want him to use this pen to kill this robot horse?

   Mu You looked at the war horse in front with a strange expression.

   Unfortunately, there is no time for him to think about it.

   After a while of kicking, the war horse swung its hooves and charged towards him suddenly.

  Mu You's expression froze. If it was before, he would not care about such a low-level mechanical beast, and he could easily solve it with a single shot.

   But now, after losing all his strength and degenerating back to an ordinary person, this robot horse can kill him in a fancy way!

  Seeing the roaring horse charging towards him, Mu You hurriedly dodged to the side, jumped up with one step, stepped on the stone wall, and jumped over the horse's head.

However, the moment he gripped the writing brush tightly and leaped over the horse and landed on the ground, he suddenly found that the angle of view in front of him changed, and the horse in front of him turned into a solid mass of 'runes', densely packed with numbers and runes, They were neatly arranged together in a certain order, and finally gathered into this mechanical creature.

  In addition, the stone walls on both sides and the ground under their feet have also become walls made of runes.

   Mu You looked down, only to realize that even himself, had become a humanoid digient composed of countless runes.

   "This is the ability of the Pen of Order?"

   Mu You immediately thought of this.

  Everything in the world is composed of order, and the ability of this pen is to allow him to see the order entity inside through the appearance of things.

  The test of the pen of order should not give him an impossible task. It seems that the "order perspective" in front of him is the real test for him...

   Mu You hurriedly looked up at the war horse.

  At this moment, in the body of the war horse, thousands of mysterious runes circulate in a unique order.

  For Mu You, who has never been in contact with the law of order, he can't understand any runes, but this does not prevent him from discovering the imperfections in these runes.

  Near the liver of the war horse, one of the runes was crooked, mixed among the neat runes, which looked particularly awkward.

  It feels like a gear is missing a corner in a perfectly precision-operated instrument. As the gear set rotates, it keeps getting stuck, which makes him feel obsessive-compulsive.

   "Perhaps this is the weakness of this war horse?"

   Mu You suddenly felt that he had discovered the trick. If this was the opponent's weakness at the rule level, then he only needed to amplify this weakness, and he might be able to kill the horse, or at least stop it.

  As for how to zoom in... Mu You looked at the pen in his hand.

   This pen is obviously the 'weapon' provided to him in this test, a weapon used to modify the rules!

   "Hiss..."

   During a short thought, the horse in front had turned its head, neighed again, and rushed towards him with four hooves.

   Mu You took a breath, and held the brush like a dagger.

  Looking at the moment when the horse was charging, he jumped up, stepped on the wall again, turned over at the same time, and thrust out his right hand toward the horse's back.

  Unfortunately, he underestimated the speed of the war horse, and also overestimated his own ability. This stab missed his grandma's house.

   Mu You shook his head secretly, and subconsciously reached into his pocket, wanting to press the pocket watch.

   It turned out to be a model but found nothing.

   Mu You was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that he no longer had a pocket watch to use.

   Mu You was a little embarrassed. The pocket watch dependence brought about by his long-term fighting habits made him instinctively want to go back and start over whenever he failed.

  Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine to take in this trial, and there is only one chance for every action, so everything can no longer be wasted like before.

   After landing, Mu You took a deep breath, held his breath, and concentrated on staring at the horse in front of him that stopped and turned.

   A few seconds later, the horse charged towards him again.

  In this narrow passage, there is very little room to hide, either up or down.

  This time Mu You chose.

  The moment the horse rushed over, he slid under the horse with a sliding shovel, grabbed the saddle of the horse, and then aimed at the belly of the horse, stabbing the brush with his right hand upwards.

   Finally got stabbed this time!

  The soft tip of the pen is now like the hardest and sharpest dagger in the world, piercing the steel body of the war horse with ease, and accurately hitting the uneven rune inside.

  The moment the rune was drawn across by the tip of the pen, it shattered and disappeared automatically, and the two surrounding runes were also drawn along, becoming crooked and on the verge of breaking.

   "Woo..."

  The war horse wailed, and the left forefoot suddenly seemed to be fractured, and it became staggering.

   "It really works!" Mu You's eyes lit up.

  The next moment, the war horse shook its body frantically, trying to throw Mu You off it.

  Mu You didn't insist, and gave up when he saw it. He rolled out from under the horse's belly, jumped up after landing, held the brush tightly again, and took a defensive posture.

  The horse in front of him must have been irritated. This time, he didn't have time to react. He turned around and rushed towards him with a snort.

However, Mu You, who had experience this time, did not panic at all. He saw the timing of the horse charging and jumped up again. Instead of thinking about bypassing the horse, he grabbed the rein of the horse's back neck, and then his arms Pushing hard, he straddled the horse directly.

  The right hand holding the pen was raised, and it suddenly pierced from the side of the horse!

  The tip of the pen eliminated a deflected rune again, but Mu You was still not satisfied, and raised his hand to stab again.

  A series of runes around it were continuously eliminated by Mu Youzha.

  Mu You was not sure what the meanings of these order runes represented, in short, it was just random destruction.

After stabbing more than a dozen times in a row, the order of the runes in the horse's body was turned upside down. The horse finally let out a mournful cry, and the forward speed became slower and slower. After shaking left and right for a while, it completely fell to the ground, and never made a sound.

   "Finally solved..."

  Mu You got off the horse, the battle was over, and he felt a burst of burning pain all over his body. Looking down, there were large bruises on his body, which were all injuries from the fight with the horse just now.

And this is only the first monster. Mu You believes that the test of the pen of order is definitely more than that simple. The most troublesome thing is that he has no way to recover now, so what will happen if he dies due to insufficient health ? Does the test fail directly?
