Immediately following was a surging sea of densely packed spiders.
This scene was quite shocking and extremely oppressive.
People with trypophobia will feel their scalp tingling when they see it.
On the way the chosen one left the cave, the mountain suddenly crumbled.
Just as the chosen one was about to fall off the cliff, a spider silk wrapped around him at the critical moment and pulled him back.
Upon closer inspection, the audience discovered that the one who saved the chosen one was a spider with a touch of emerald green on its body.
Without a doubt, it must be the fourth sister.
The most beautiful spider spirit who had been helping the chosen one since he entered the Spider Cave.
The audience has long regarded Fourth Sister as the destined one's official partner, calling her "wife" all the time.
Next, it's time to run around the map again.
Seeing that there was no more boss battle, Kiana and the others surrounding Mo Li asked the questions that had been on their minds.
"By the way, Bronya, you just said the game's background is very dark, what's going on?"
Bronya shook her head: "I don't know either. That's just my guess. You'll have to ask the boss for details."
Before Kiana could ask a question, Mo Li interrupted with a smile, "Don't ask, I won't spoil anything even if you do~"
"All I can say is that you can't access the specific world-building yet. You'll understand as more DLCs are released."
"DLC? What's that?"
"Uh... you could think of it as a game update, expanding the game content."
"I see..." Kiana nodded, then smiled and said, "Then, Bronya, tell us your guess."
Bronya, who did not receive the complete script, is in a sense also a player of "Black Myth: Wukong".
Her guesses, of course, don't count as spoilers.
Therefore, Duck is also happy to share its thoughts.
Let's start with the prologue—
"From the very beginning, at the end of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong didn't intend to become an immortal; he just wanted to return to Flower Fruit Mountain and live a peaceful life."
"Logically speaking, as a key figure in the Journey to the West, he should be considered a meritorious person. But why would the people in heaven refuse to grant him such a simple request and instead want to kill him?"
yes……
After DuckDuck said that, the player's thoughts were immediately broadened.
Details that were previously unnoticed suddenly revealed countless questions.
Let's look at another line Sun Wukong said during his fight with Erlang Shen—"Immortality!"
"This seems to be what everyone desires most."
"The known methods of achieving immortality are the [Peach of Immortality] and the [Elixir of Immortality]."
"But the ripening time of the peaches of immortality is too long, and there are too many gods and Buddhas in heaven, so alchemy seems to be a way to gain lifespan more quickly."
This only fueled the players' even greater doubts.
But before they could ask, Duck Duck revealed the key point.
"Have you noticed while playing the game that when you kill some elite monsters, they often drop something called [Exquisite Inner Core]? And this happens to be the main ingredient for refining [Heavenly Elixir]?"
Hold the grass! !
After Ya Ya said that, countless people felt a chill run down their spines.
Does this mean that in order to prolong their lives, the immortals in heaven can only kill demons to obtain their elixir and use it to refine immortal pills?
If things get even darker, could there be people who specifically raise monsters, and then kill them to obtain their elixir once they've "matured"?
And the "feed" for raising monsters...
Countless people thought of [Lion Camel Ridge].
The place was teeming with monsters, and all the people had been eaten.
Coincidentally, Lion Camel Ridge is located at the foot of the west, and the Buddha of the west... happens to not have any peaches of immortality.
Therefore, they needed a large number of elixirs, and thus kept a large number of monsters at their feet...
.......
Chapter 721 Where is my fourth sister? Where is my big fourth sister?
【Oh my god! ! 】
[This...this...Black Myth...it's terrifying!]
Is it really... that dark?
[This is just Duck's guess... but it somehow feels incredibly reasonable...]
[This idea... is brilliant!!]
So, Sun Wukong discovered that Buddhism... no, he discovered that all immortals and gods practiced "killing demons for elixirs to prolong their lives," which is why he refused to join them and wanted to return to Flower Fruit Mountain, only to be silenced?
[Makes perfect sense...it makes perfect sense! Recall the conversation between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen; he clearly scoffs at the idea of "immortality"...You know, Sun Wukong himself traveled thousands of miles to learn magic in pursuit of immortality...]
[Here's another question: Doesn't Journey to the West have a Book of Life and Death? Doesn't crossing out a name mean you're no longer subject to reincarnation?]
[I guess the adaptation of "Black Myth" has been changed. The immortals and Buddhas here probably can't live forever either, and can only rely on the peaches of immortality given out at the "annual meeting" to prolong their lives.]
[There aren't enough peaches to go around, so I'll have to refine more elixirs... Oh my god... - This is too dark (horrified)].
……
in fact.
The main reason why Ya Ya can make such a guess is because of the fate of the fourth sister.
In this chapter's side quest, Fourth Sister is captured and taken to heaven because she helped the Chosen One.
Before leaving, the birdman said he would refine Fourth Sister into an "elixir of immortality".
Of course, since this involved spoilers, she didn't reveal this crucial information.
"Of course, the above is just my personal speculation. Whether it's true or not, we'll have to wait for the DLC the boss mentioned to fill in the gaps."
In the end, Duck still managed to give itself a buff.
but.
The audience doesn't have time to pay attention to the duck right now.
Her guess was so logical, it was almost like the truth.
As a result, the discussion in the bullet comments was extremely intense.
Countless people have become even more interested in the game's storyline.
Kiana, Qingque, and the others around her also shrank back, as if they were frightened.
no way.
The worldview that DuckDuck is speculating about... is indeed too dark.
As for Mo Li...
He just smiled and didn't say anything.
However, he actually agreed with Ya Ya's guess.
Actually... even he didn't know what the game's worldview was like.
After all, he only extracted the game and didn't really learn about the story background.
"I need to find some time to extract the rest of the DLC and take a look..."
After Ya Ya did this, even he became interested in the plot of Black Myth.
……
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
Kiana and Qingque were also keeping an eye on the comments.
Before she knew it, Mo Li had finally arrived at the battlefield of the final boss.
As soon as the chosen one steps into it, the game enters the story unfolding phase.
Only then did countless viewers focus their attention on the game.
In a sea of flowers, a man dressed as a Taoist priest stood facing Zi Zhu'er in her true form.
Several spider demon sisters knelt to one side.
"Senior brother... save me..." Zi Zhu'er's voice trembled slightly, indicating that she had been severely injured by the chosen one.
"I taught you how to set a trap and gave you a magic weapon to help you, so how could you have failed?" The audience all understood that the Taoist priest who spoke was none other than the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.
That is, the centipede demon in Journey to the West.
