chapter 62: the formless offspring blocking the way tina acted without hesitation, holding nan xiaoniao in one arm and covering her eyes with the other, continuing to walk downwards. meanwhile, liu xing served as the observer, closely watching the movements of the formless offspring to provide tina and the others with firsthand information. just as liu xing had anticipated, the formless offspring's primary target was nan xiaoniao. it pursued them directly, and its speed had increased somewhat since li ming had awakened. the speed of the formless offspring had evolved from snail-like to that of a turtle. "the monster's speed has obviously improved a notch, but it's still very slow, so we don't need to hurry," liu xing reminded everyone. thus, what should have been a tense and intense chase scene completely changed its tone. the formless offspring, a mythical creature, now seemed like a pitiful puppy being led on a walk by these "evil humans." however, liu xing remained concerned that the formless offspring might possess long-range attack spells, frequently looking back to monitor its actions. after all, the spells in the cthulhu rpg game usually required noticeable pre-casting movements. liu xing hypothesized that the formless offspring's spells might allow it to parasitize or transform into humans. this would explain why it could masquerade as nan xiaoniao's mother, leading to the terrifying transformation scene in the grape arbor. while not entirely certain, liu xing felt there was an 80% chance of this being true. moreover, it seemed unlikely that the formless offspring had any long-range attack spells, as its choice to ambush suggested a level of intelligence that would have surely led it to use such spells if it had them. relieved by this thought, liu xing led the group confidently to the commercial district. looking back, the formless offspring was still far behind, not even halfway up the hill.ñøv€l-b1n was the first platform to present this chapter. ignoring the slow-moving formless offspring, the group reached the grape arbor, finding only grape skins and seeds, with no grapes in sight. "wow, how much can this creature eat? did it finish all the grapes here?" tian dao said, somewhat dismayed. thus, tina took the grape from tian dao and carefully placed it in nan xiaoniao's small bag, entrusting akira akashi with the responsibility of carrying it. after securing the last of the sacrificial items, liu xing and the team felt urgency. they promptly returned to the temple to offer the sacrifice and return to the real world. but liu xing suddenly remembered something important – where had the formless offspring gone? logically, this 'disabled' formless offspring, although slow, should have reached the commercial district by now. but liu xing saw no trace of it. could it be... thinking this, liu xing turned to tina and the others, "where has that monster gone? has it stopped chasing us?" liu xing's question furrowed the brows of tina and the rest, who shared his concerns. they all pondered why the formless offspring hadn't appeared. however, they soon found their answer. the formless offspring had learned to lie in wait, blocking their path to the crane temple halfway up the mountain. using its massive form and tentacles, it effortlessly barricaded the only route to the temple. as liu xing watched the formless offspring's undulating tentacles, he couldn't shake off the feeling that it was mocking them – "no matter how fast you run, you still have to return right into my grasp. let's see how you'll get past me now." faced with this obstacle, both akira akashi and tian dao were at a loss and had to confront the formless offspring directly. given the situation, their san (sanity) values were bound to decrease. "so, as akira akashi and tian dao lay eyes on the formless offspring for the first time, it's time for a san check. a success means a decrease of 2 san points, a failure results in a loss of 1d6+1 san points, and you'll gain equivalent knowledge of the cthulhu mythos." tian dao, 84/78, failed. akira akashi, 33/76, succeeded.
