286: Chapter 286 Treasure Land Forum (Type 2)

581L: ???

607L: Mandrills are a species with a very strong sense of community. Those Mutated Mandrills clearly live in the Treasure Site year-round and find it difficult to leave. You can think about it, what is there to eat in the Treasure Site? Basically nothing. So, what do those Mutated Mandrills rely on to maintain their vital signs? There must be something else providing them with sufficient food. And that is obviously this group of Mandrills.

682L: Furthermore, as primates, their intelligence is not low; Mandrills are one of the smartest primates. You can tell from the actions of those Mutated Mandrills later on that they are indeed very smart. Therefore, luring players to the Treasure Site is an action the Mandrills are fully capable of.

727L: Damn, it makes sense now. These Mandrills aren't short on food, but those Mutated Mandrills are. And the humans who come to this primeval forest are probably all heading toward that Treasure Site. No wonder that group of Mandrills stopped caring about the players later; they probably knew they were walking to their own deaths.

741L: Those Mutated Mandrills aren't just short on food; they're also short on human heads [facepalm].

749L: One person, two uses [thumbs up].

761L: Could you please stop making me laugh with these hellish jokes? Okay.

927L: The person above is wrong. These Mutated Mandrills don't eat humans, okay? Otherwise, why would those headless skeletons still have clothes on? What, are you saying those Mandrills reassemble the bones after eating the human meat and then put the clothes back on the skeletons?

941L: Who said these Mandrills aren't good? These Mandrills are great.

949L: These Mandrills, they are kind.

961L: Hhhhhh, the person above is really trying to kill me with laughter.

987L: I agree with the person above. Actually, I think the reason these Mandrills outside keep providing food for the Mutated Mandrills inside the Treasure Site is very likely because they also need that black liquid. Otherwise, why would these creatures feel the need to guard the Treasure Site for hundreds of years?

1004L: That makes some sense. If the Mutated Mandrills inside really couldn't contribute anything to the population, they would definitely have been abandoned long ago. How could the Mandrills outside keep supporting them?

1041L: Good heavens, I've figured it out. The Mandrills outside aren't killing the players to feed them to the Mutated Mandrills as rations, but to collect the players' heads!

1062L: That's quite evil.

1091L: Moon Goddess must have known there was something wrong with these Mandrills long ago; she has always been very vigilant. After climbing up the tree, she even tied a rope around her waist.

1131L: The person above missed the point. The point is the length of that rope; theoretically, it was more than enough for Moon Goddess to descend directly to the ground. But Moon Goddess specifically wrapped it around her body several extra times. Think about it, really think about it~

1162L: It seems Moon Goddess really knew that little Mandrill was up to no good early on. So why didn't she just kill that Mandrill?

1189L: Moon Goddess did want to kill it. After confirming that the tree was indeed problematic, her gaze was clearly searching for the little Mandrill. Unfortunately, the guy ran fast, and Moon Goddess didn't go after it.

1212L: These animals have a very keen sense of danger. It probably sensed Moon Goddess's killing intent beforehand and knew this woman was not to be trifled with, so it ran away early.

1246L: It's lucky it ran fast :D.

LZ: The viewers in the livestream room have already analyzed the situation after arriving at the base of the tree; it was blood that opened the hidden passage. This can be determined by the fact that there were no corpses at the base of the tree, so I won't go into detail about that. Here, I mainly want to talk about some of the detailed actions I observed Moon Goddess taking after arriving at that Secret Room. The moment she fell into the underground Secret Room, Moon Goddess's gaze first fell on the stone platform she had stepped on when she fell. This stone platform was not only carved with intricate patterns but also had a transparent glass crystal on it that looked far from simple. Anyone would realize the stone platform must be problematic and is very likely a key item. However, one very wise thing about Moon Goddess is that she didn't waste much time on this stone platform. Even watching the replay, we can see that almost immediately after confirming the situation on the stone platform, she left the side of the platform without the slightest hesitation. If this kind of stone platform isn't triggered by gravity, there are many other possibilities for how to trigger the mechanism, such as rotating the platform, light sensitivity, heat, etc. If one were to really study it, it would definitely take a long time. Based on the later results, we also know that the army of tens of thousands of rats was advancing toward this Secret Room at a rapid speed. If Moon Goddess had really spent a lot of time on that stone platform, she might not have had time to create the fire wall, and everyone can imagine what the outcome would have been.

1302L: OP is calling me out, aren't they? When Moon Goddess was looking for clues, I was staring at that stone platform the whole time, and I even thought that thing must have a lot of secrets... Tears are flowing out of my ears TAT...

1324L: Your brain is flooded, right? I feel you, person above.

1351L: It's human nature. That stone platform is indeed an obvious mechanism, and it's normal to want to study it. Moon Goddess is the abnormal one [facepalm].

1399L: Moon Goddess is truly decisive. It should also be because she was very clear that danger was about to arrive. After all, when she was on the surface, she quickly realized there were no corpses in the tree hollow, so she must have also realized there were no corpses in the Secret Room. Since that was the case, something must have cleaned up the corpses. So Moon Goddess started thinking of ways to resolve the crisis very early on.

1427L: Actually, I think the person above is slightly inaccurate on one point: Moon Goddess might not have been looking for clues just to avoid the potential danger. I think she must have also been very confident, believing she could find a way to leave the Secret Room before the danger arrived. The result was that she not only blocked the rat swarm but also found the exit passage at the same time.

1431L: This move is really 666.

1455L: Moon Goddess is truly amazing. She was actually able to see that the patterns on the ground were problematic and thought of using the oil in those earthenware jars to form a wall of fire. It not only blocked the swarming rat army but also caused the temperature in the Secret Room to rise sharply, reaching the temperature to trigger the stone platform mechanism, allowing her to escape successfully. This level of observation and mentality is truly terrifying.

1471L: Yes, honestly, at the time I didn't know the glass crystal on the stone platform was actually a temperature-sensing device, and I was sweating for Moon Goddess. After all, although she blocked the rat swarm with the fire wall, if the fire kept burning, the thick smoke and various harmful substances produced would definitely be fatal.

1490L: +1, I was also holding my breath.

1534L: You guys are overthinking it. Moon Goddess never fights battles she isn't sure of. This Secret Room includes the earthenware jars on the ground, the guiding patterns on the floor, the oil lamps above the wall pillars, etc. These clues might seem cluttered and chaotic to us, but in Moon Goddess's eyes, what she saw was likely a very clear logical chain, and these clues all pointed to a single, clear goal—lighting a fire. And the act of lighting a fire was obviously not just about clearing the impending danger. After all, relying solely on lighting a fire couldn't fundamentally solve the problem and might even exacerbate the risk due to the drastic temperature change. Since those Treasure Owners carefully designed such a place, they naturally wouldn't let themselves be trapped, so they must have left a way to escape. And this act of lighting a fire, which was constantly being guided, was undoubtedly the key to solving the puzzle or controlling the environment. Based on her comprehensive analysis of the scene, Moon Goddess must have realized that lighting a fire was more likely a means to solve the puzzle or control the environment. So after confirming these clues, Moon Goddess very likely judged immediately that the white glass crystal on that stone platform was actually a temperature-sensing device.

1561L: It seems that's the case... The world in Moon Goddess's eyes is different from the world in the eyes of us ordinary people. There have been many times before when Moon Goddess just took one look and was able to find the real clues while other players hadn't even reacted.

1582L: Is this the difference between a master player and an ordinary person?

1606L: No, this is the difference between Moon Goddess and ordinary people. I have also watched many master players, but absolutely none of them are like Moon Goddess.

LZ: A big shot has appeared above and said everything I wanted to say, so I won't say much about this part. The part where Moon Goddess was drifting later actually doesn't have much to talk about, but I'll add a small detail. That is, if Moon Goddess had been walking the whole time, she wouldn't have had any rest time since entering this Miracle Escape Live Stream Game. This time drifting not only replenished Moon Goddess's energy well but also avoided the physical exertion caused by traveling. And honestly, the speed of drifting on the Underground River is actually not much slower than walking. Next is what I personally consider the second coolest performance of Moon Goddess in this Treasure Site game~~~ That process of jumping down from the top of the waterfall was really cool, okay! Where are you, screaming chickens?!

1749L: Here, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Attachment: Moon Goddess entering the water.jpg

1790L: I suggest all the friends on the forum learn this part well; it really is a very standard self-rescue procedure for falling from a waterfall.

1836L: No need to worry about me, I would just hit my head on the rock and die when falling down :D.

1850L: That shows great self-awareness.

1887L: When watching the recording again, I suddenly noticed one thing: Moon Goddess took a look at her hands at that time. I didn't pay much attention to this detail at the time, but now looking at it, I realized that her hands were already injured at that time.

1907L: It's mainly because those hands had been washed white by the water, so it's not easy to notice without seeing blood. However, I feel like Moon Goddess might have been paying attention to her wounds at that time, which is why she chose to recover her energy by sleeping the first thing after entering the Treasure Site later.

1962L: Adding one thing that probably not many people noticed. I later compared Moon Goddess's location at the time with the marked point on the map at the beginning, and only then did I realize that the section of the river that disappeared on the map at that time overlapped with the Underground River that Moon Goddess drifted through. In other words, the real location of the Treasure Site shown on the map at that time was actually this Underground River, not the rivers on the ground.

1994L: Holy crap, is that really how it is? No wonder that group of players searched for a long time and couldn't find the river marked on the treasure map, only seeing a swamp.

2032L: I repent; I was calling them trash in the barrage at the time...

2059L: Do you guys think Moon Goddess knew about this early on?

2083L: This is really hard to say, but judging from Moon Goddess's various actions, I personally think she most likely had already sensed some clues. After all, in Moon Goddess's subsequent actions, her goals always seemed exceptionally clear; it's absolutely impossible that it was just a whim.

2099L: Agreed, if Moon Goddess had just run over there across mountains and rivers because she saw that low, yellowing tree was a bit strange, it would be very abrupt and unreasonable.

2123L: I feel like maybe during one of the times she was on a tree, Moon Goddess accidentally discovered the river in the forest, and this river did not completely overlap with the one marked on the map that should have existed but inexplicably disappeared. But these are all my speculations.

2153L: I'll help confirm his speculation. Do you remember what Moon Goddess said when she first discovered that a small section of the river was missing on that map? Moon Goddess said: "This river is hidden." Got it?

2171L: Holy crap, this river is hidden?! Doesn't that mean an Underground River? Holy crap, I really didn't understand the meaning of Moon Goddess's words at the time!

218b, you even remember such detailed things.

2207L: I'm just a humble person, but I've recorded every word Moon Goddess has said in every Miracle Escape Live Stream Game in a notebook~

2222L: 666, you're awesome [facepalm].

2243L: Big shot!

LZ: Only at this moment did Moon Goddess enter the real Treasure Site. And here, she also found the most important item in the entire game—those parchment scrolls that exist in every room. When watching the livestream room before, except for a few viewers at the very beginning who mentioned the content on the parchment scroll Moon Goddess saw in the first room she entered, which talked about the treasure-hunting experiences of these Treasure Owners, almost no viewers mentioned those parchment scrolls again. However, the most important clues are almost all hidden in these parchment scrolls. I spent a long time translating the content of all the parchment scrolls Moon Goddess saw and discovered many very important clues.
