Chapter 1: The Witch Rite of Passage
The time was just past noon, and the fog shrouded Yun Mengze had just dispersed, and the water waves on the muddy swamp shook slightly, and a huge figure walked slowly on the swamp that could easily trap people.
This person's name is Shui Rain.,It's one of the official beta registered players of the game Digital Flood.,An ordinary underage witch of the witch clan.。
Of course, this is just the name of his game.,His real name should be Sun Moumou.,Known as the number one military advisor of a small game group.,In addition, there is a nervous reaction speed and calculation speed beyond ordinary people.,It's also a little famous in the game world.。
And his appearance this time is also very in line with the characteristics of the Zhongwu clan in the wilderness, with a figure of more than three meters, bronzed skin, four extremely strong arms, black hair that keeps dripping water, and indigo tattoos on his face, that fierce appearance completely conceals his identity as a minor.
At this time, his two left hands were dragging the tail of a huge blue-gray six-legged crocodile, one of his right hands was still wiping his sweat for himself, and the other right hand was pressed on a bone long sword, and it was the thing behind him that was more than ten meters long that made his speed so slow.
However, in front of his eyes, a wall of countless large and small totem poles had appeared in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.
In fact, Sun Moumou's generation can be regarded as relatively lucky, extremely high technology has greatly increased productivity, so that the unemployment rate will naturally increase at any time.
However, in this era, this small problem is not difficult for the government, there is a lot of surplus resources, and it is very simple to feed these people, so the rest is how to find something to make these people settle down.
In this way, online games appeared in front of everyone, almost all of them have devoted themselves to the vigorous cause of online games, some organized and planned establishment of various guilds, killing into the game to build forces to make a lot of money (the government has to deduct a lot of taxes when the game currency is exchanged for cash), and there is no organization to do it alone, and no one comes to destroy their good mood of playing games.
As for this small organization like Sun Moumou, it is just an idle organization organized by a few like-minded gamers, and it doesn't have much binding force at all, like this digital flood incident, which is like this, and only four of the organizations with less than ten members have entered the digital flood.
The other reasons for not wanting to come in are various, but there are no more than two points, one is that there is no human choice in the digital wilderness, which makes them very unwilling.
In fact, it's normal to think about it, the era of the digital famine is set in the legendary Zixiao Palace, and in the era before the start of the Lich War, Nuwa has not yet created humans, so where can you choose humans.
The second point is that the two lich clans in the digital wilderness all look weird, either four hands or two heads, which makes people very unaccustomed to using them.
Of course, this can also be explained, you must know that the most famous person in the wilderness is not known to have eighteen heads and thirty-six hands, each holding a magic weapon, which shows that it is normal to look like this, those people don't want to play, it is completely because they can't control the extra body parts.
Although the game is also very enthusiastic about providing hosting services, players can use their extra body as a magic weapon, but game masters often choose to operate these limbs themselves to do more delicate movements, so as to achieve the purpose of holding everything in their hands.
Therefore, those who are not strong often choose to quit after playing the game, which also makes the overall level of gamers of the digital flood go to a higher level.
And Sun Moumou is one of the masters who survived the game in such a situation, he entered the third day of the game, he successfully controlled his extra hands, and used all his years of experience in the game to operate the entire body.
On the fifth day, Sun Moumou could take the four bone swords, shouting that the four swords were running around, to chase and kill the monsters outside Yun Mengze, of course, his four bone swords were also unashamedly named by him as the four swords of 'punishment, poke, trap, and absolute', of course, the immortal character in the back didn't dare to add it so early.
On the seventeenth day after that, that is, today, his level has reached the peak of level 9, and he needs to complete a hunting mission in order to perform a rite of passage in his Wu tribe, break through the limit of the level, reach the level of the first heaven, and obtain the totem pole and natal magic weapon that represent his adult identity.
If there is any dissatisfaction he has now, it is his bloodline at this time, you must know that when he entered the game, he gave up the three races of Peacock, Spirit Monkey and Lotus, which had the largest number of people in the Demon Clan, and gave up the three branches of Houtu, Candle Jiuyin and Dijiang, which were the most popular in the Wu Clan, and chose the comprehensive bloodline of Gonggong and Xuanming, in order to master water and Xuanming to master rain.
Even his name Water Rain came from this, but I didn't expect that some changes were made during the digital flood public beta, maybe the designer thought that it was enough to have an ancestor who mastered the weather, so he changed the four ancestors who mastered the wind, rain, thunder and lightning to master the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
So Xuan Ming was lucky to get an ability unique to summer, plague and poison gas, and because of this, Sun Moumou was often laughed at in the game as 'water poisoning'.
Okay, that's all for gossip, it was also mentioned that this time the rain in the water appeared on this swamp, in order to find a beast that could allow him to pass the rite of passage to hunt, this time his luck was good, after running for two game days, he finally found an iron-backed six-legged crocodile in a large swamp in Yunmengze.
This is not like those saber-toothed tigers and swamp pythons outside the Wu tribe, which are monsters for newcomers to the Wu tribe to practice, this is a monster that has reached level 13 and has his own inner pill and natal magic weapon in the sky.
For this thing, the rain in the water soaked in that quagmire for three game days, and then he used a trap to kill this big guy who was five times bigger than him, and now seeing that his hard work for so many days has finally paid off, he naturally has a smile on his face.
At this moment, there were also people on the wall composed of totem poles not far away who discovered the existence of rain in the water, and they didn't open the door after looking at it, and two witches with human heads and bird bodies flew down.
The two sorcerers flew in front of the rain in the water, and one of them, covered with blue scales, said loudly, "Xiao Shui, you did a good job this time, this is a big guy, I can now imagine how beautiful your coming-of-age ceremony will be." ”
"That's right." Another sorcerer with a red feather on his head also flew up and down and said, "This is a level 13 mini-boss, even if it is difficult for the little ones to deal with in the first day, you can defeat him so easily, it seems that we all underestimate you." ”
"But then again, a strong body is the focus of our Wu clan, and the way of calculation does not last long, you can pay attention to this, don't be too obsessed, and finally lose the face of our Wu clan."
"Naturally, I don't dare to say anything else, but what a witch should do, I did my best." The rain in the water said confidently.
"I also believe this, okay, let's not talk about this, let's go in quickly, don't let the elders and the clan grow for too long." With that, the two sorcerers directly grabbed the iron-backed six-legged crocodile and flew to the tribe not far away.
When he saw the rain in the water, he also strode forward with a puzzled face, and asked as he walked, "Did something happen?" Why don't the gates of the tribe be opened? ”
At this time, the sorcerer with red feathers on his head was dragging the iron-backed six-legged crocodile with all his might, and he didn't have the heart to speak, but the sorcerer with blue scales all over his body replied casually, "There are more newborn brothers in the clan, and the elder and the patriarch are discussing how to divide the nest." ”
Hearing the word split nest, the heart of the rain in the water jumped a little, splitting the nest is a good task, whether it is the demon clan or the witch clan, it is generally from one day to six days before you can participate, and there will be a relatively good reward after completing the task.
However, this kind of nest splitting task often appears when the number and strength of a small tribe of the witch clan or the small clan of the demon clan reaches a certain level, and sometimes it is even more difficult than a random hidden task, so generally when encountering this kind of task, most players will put down what they are doing and devote themselves to it.
And this time the rain in the water can be said to be lucky to get home, he just completed the task of advancing to the first day, and he can meet the conditions for receiving the task of dividing the nest by handing in a task, which is equivalent to the reward given to the rain in the water for nothing.
Such a thing, the rain in the water could not be missed, so he quickened his pace and ran towards the tribe not far away.
In a few moments, they crossed the wall of totem poles, bypassed the tents, and came to a large platform in the middle of the tribe.
A two-meter-wide ditch was dug around the platform, and the water in the ditch was as fast as a flooded river.
The two witches transported the iron-backed six-legged crocodile to the top of the platform, threw it directly on the platform and flew away, but the rain in the water was dragged by several players who were born here together, and they didn't reach the platform yet.
At this time, a wizard who looked very old appeared on the platform at some point, but it was strange to say that this wizard did not look strange like other wizards, but looked no different from a normal human.
In fact, he didn't choose this way from the beginning, nor did he take special care of the aborigines in the system, but his strength had reached level 120, that is, the level of the Twelve Heavens, and he could transform into a Dao Body and a Law Body.
You must know that the great god Nuwa herself is also a human head and a snake body, and her appearance when she finally created a human being was based on her Dao body.
As soon as the old wizard appeared, Shui Zhongyu understood that he could no longer talk to a few player brothers, so he confessed his guilt, and crossed the ditch under the platform in two steps, and jumped directly onto the platform.
Jumping onto the platform, before Shui Liyu could say anything, the old wizard kicked him down, "Unload all the equipment on your body, don't worry about it there, you won't be able to use it soon." ”
At this time, the rain in the water had not yet reacted from the old wizard's foot, and when he heard the old wizard's words, he hurriedly took off all the equipment on his body, and after a while, the rain in the water only had a beast skin girdle left in his body after entering the digital wilderness.
By the time Rain jumped onto the platform again, the old wizard had already completely disposed of the iron-backed six-legged crocodile that had been thrown on the platform.
The head and heart of the six-legged crocodile were taken out separately and set aside, and the six stout feet were dismantled into twelve pieces and stacked in the middle of the platform, on which some of the fat of the six-legged crocodile was placed and set on fire.
The iron back of the iron-backed six-legged crocodile was also taken down separately and roasted on top of this pile of flames, and the old wizard also threw some of the internal organs and blood of the six-legged crocodile into this iron back from time to time, and when he joined these, the old wizard kept chanting something in his mouth.
In a short time, in the old wizard's hand, this huge and hard iron back turned into a dark black scale.
Putting the scales aside, the old wizard took the tail and bones of the six-legged crocodile and threw them all into the fire, and then the old wizard carefully picked up the head of the six-legged crocodile, and wrote patterns on it with the blood of the six-legged crocodile, while reciting strange incantations.
Under this spell, the head of the six-legged crocodile became darker and darker, but the flame became brighter and brighter, and finally even reached the level of blazing white.
The moment the flames turned blazing white, the old wizard threw the six-legged crocodile's head into it, and then he picked up the six-legged crocodile's heart and beckoned to the rain in the water.
It's the first time I've seen such a situation, and in the usual game forum, I didn't say what to do at this time, so he could only walk in front of the old wizard with fear.
I didn't want this old wizard to press the heart of the six-legged crocodile to the chest of the rain in the water, and the old voice sounded in his ears, "The totem and natal magic weapon of the witch clan need to be refined by yourself, I have prepared everything for you, after taking a bloody bath and installing the first spell scale, you can go to the fire to get your totem." ”
As he spoke, the old wizard moved the heart of the six-legged crocodile to the top of Shui Yu's head, easily crushing it, and at this moment, the black scales that had just been put aside were also imprinted on Shui Yu's chest, and before Shui Yu could react, he was kicked into flames.
Entering the flames, Shui Zhongyu thought that he would suffer at least some flesh and skin, but he didn't expect that this blazing flame turned out to be another dimension.
In this space, three completely different totem poles were floating in front of him, one of which looked like the head of the six-legged crocodile that had been dried up by the rain in the water.
The other two were ordinary, both of them were wooden, except that one was as thick as a bowl and longer than the height of the rain in the water, and looked like the beams of the house, and the other looked like the old wizard's cane.
Shui Zhongyu thought about it and understood, this should be the choice of profession, if you take the totem pole made of the head of the six-legged crocodile, you should take the warrior route, and the cane is needless to say that it is the route of the law system, as for the huge wooden stick, it should refer to the cultivation of the demon martial arts.
Thinking of this, Shui Zhongyu, who thought he understood everything, chose the thick wooden stick without hesitation, and after taking this wooden stick in his hand, Shui Zhongyu was directly sent out of this space.
Returning to the platform, Shui Yu found that the old wizard on the platform was gone, the flames had completely disappeared, and the entire platform was as empty as it had been at the beginning, only he was standing in the middle of the platform with the totem pole he had just arrived.
Before he could react to what was going on, four or five players who had been born here pounced, and a whole bunch of questions were like bombs, making the rain in the water dizzy.
"How's it going, what does it feel like after a heavy day......
"Can we fly, fly and let us open our eyes......"
"The totem pole in the brother's hand is right, what is the function, take it to the brother to see......"
"I said can you teach me how to complete the task of the coming-of-age ceremony......"
Listening to this, it's hard to refuse the rain in the water, after all, there are a few days to work together, and the people who can stay and play the digital flood are elite players, and the relationship between them is not bad.
For this reason, he can only explain the past one by one, there is no difference between what is a heavy sky, but he can give full play to the additional attributes on the equipment;
Now flying is not able to fly, except for the race that has grown wings in the sky can learn to fly in the double heaven, only to the level of the triple heaven can learn to fly;
The function of the totem pole is the same as that of the demon clan's Neidan.,The force type can provide a certain attack power bonus.,Can be used as a weapon.,Can provide the same life supplement as the user's health.,The intelligence type is just the opposite.,It provides a certain spell attack power bonus.,Although it can't be used as a weapon.,But it can be used to trigger spells.,In addition, it can be supplemented with twice the user's magic power value.。
As for the one in the hands of the rain in the water, it is a standard totem pole, which is generally used by the aborigines, and can be used as a weapon, but it can only be used in hand-to-hand combat, and can be used as a magic weapon prop, but it is not very powerful, and it can supplement magic power and life, but it is only two-thirds of the upper limit of the user's number, which can be said to be a more comprehensive thing.
However, this thing also has a feature, that is, it can be inserted into the ground and used as a temporary battle totem to enhance the combat effectiveness of nearby allies.
After listening to these explanations, the players went back happily, of course, the rain in the water did not fully explain the situation of entering a heavy sky.
And what he didn't make clear was the most important thing in this, such as the scale on his chest, in addition to the effect of water spell +1, it is also the basis for the operation of a series of water spells, as long as this scale is there, 10% of the experience gained by the water rain will be automatically transferred to this scale, helping the water rain to practice the water spell.
In addition, since the scales on the water rain are obtained from the iron-backed six-legged crocodile, it also adds an additional level 1 water spell and 10 defense points, which is a good little superlative, which is already a good situation for the setting that can no longer be taken down when it is installed.
As for the normal equipment column, I'm sorry to prevent someone from taking up more hands and wearing more, so you can only equip one more magic weapon, one ornament and one weapon or defensive equipment every day, so that good weapons and equipment have become the first thing for a player who has set foot on the heavy sky level.
In ancient Chinese myths and legends, what equipment is the best, although the answer is not necessarily, there is a relatively standard answer, that is, the natal magic weapon is the best.
Of course, the natal magic weapons of the two clans of the Wu clan are also different, and the demon clan often uses a part of their own body to make their natal magic weapon, such as the tail feathers of the peacock clan can be made into five-color divine light, and the tail of the tiger clan can be made into a steel whip and so on.
And the Wu clan who were born with the vitality of heaven and earth, their natal magic weapon is something between heaven and earth, such as the Wu clan of the Gonggong family, their natal magic weapon is made of water.
And among the water spells in the scales on the chest of the rain in the water, the first is the production method of the natal magic weapon, after applying to the patriarch of the clan to join the nest division task, the rain in the water found a small river and started the first production of his natal magic weapon.
After standing firm on the water surface as usual, the method of making the natal magic weapon kept flashing in the mind of the water rain, and the water rain must consider all the steps clearly, because although the natal magic weapon can also be upgraded along the master's level, but the foundation is not good, even if it is promoted to the highest level attribute, it will not be too good.
So the rain in the water must take everything into their own hands, not to leave regrets to themselves, after the method of making the natal magic weapon in his mind twice, after making sure that he will not have anything to forget, the rain in the water in front of a pair of hands stretched out to the river in front of him.
As the hands of the water rain stretched out, the water of the small river in front of him suddenly became turbulent, and the water in the water was staring at the water flow very seriously, and the speed and volume of the small river water were calculated in his heart.
This is very important for the natal magic weapon of rain in water, because the body of the natal magic weapon of rain in water is the small river in front of you.
After a while, the rain in the water had calculated what he wanted, and this small river was the best river in the vicinity, as he had estimated at the beginning, and the speed and flow of the river exceeded the requirements for making the natal magic weapon.
He took a deep breath, made all the preparations, and kept his hands towards the place where the river was flowing most urgently.
Under the click of the rain in the water, the river flowed more and more rapidly, and finally this small river, which was not more than ten meters wide and less than five meters deep, actually set off a big wave.
However, Shui Yu did not flinch, but stared closely at every move in the big waves, and finally Shui Yu's two hands stretched out at the same time, pounced into the big waves, and forcibly snatched a fist-sized water balloon from it.
After the water balloon was snatched out, the water level of the small river quickly fell, and the rain in the water knew that the river could not be allowed to recede, otherwise this treasure would be considered a failure.
So he pointed out with both hands at the same time, and all kinds of strange witch scripts were submerged into the water balloon along his four hands, which was also a test of the water rain, because all the witch scripts became universal words and appeared in front of the water rain, and the water rain had to read all these words within the specified time.
If you don't finish reading, the river is all gone, then this time the treasure making will be considered a failure, but if you read it too fast and a certain word is wrong, then after the magic weapon is successful, the power will also be deducted, so you must put all your energy into it, so the speed will naturally be slower.
By the time the rain had finished reading all the words, a third of the river had flowed away, and the rain knew that it was inevitable, so he went away, waved his hand, and threw the water balloon into the river.
As soon as the balloon enters the river, the remaining two-thirds of the river quickly gathers together, forming a huge column of water that keeps rolling towards the sky.
At this time, the rain in the water knew that the most critical moment had come, and if he couldn't subdue this water column, then everything he had done before would be in vain.
At this critical moment, the rain in the water rubbed his body up, stepped on the water column with one foot, and his two hands formed fists to hit the water column continuously, and pressed the water column to the already dry riverbed.
At first, the water column wanted to throw the rain out of the water, but as the water rain fist became stronger and stronger, finally the water column had to fall to the ground, turning into a giant snake composed entirely of water, opening its mouth and biting the water rain.
However, the rain in the water was prepared, he directly pinched the body of the giant snake with his two hands, and the two hands kept hitting the head of the giant snake in fists, and after a battle, the giant snake finally lowered its head and lay motionless in front of the rain feet in the water.
At this time, Shui Zhongyu understood that his natal magic weapon was almost completed, and he grabbed the giant snake on the ground, and kept chanting the strings of incantations that appeared in front of him.
Under this spell, the giant snake, which was thicker than the rain in the water, slowly shrunk until it shrunk into a small snake one meter long, which was so crystal that it looked as if it was made of crystal.
Once he had done this, the natal magic weapon of the rain in the water was almost completed, and he wrapped the little snake around one of his arms and strode towards the other river.
Fortunately, the location of the rain in the water at this time is in the legendary Yunmengze, and the river is very close to each other, after letting the little snake drink the water of the three rivers, the little snake finally regained the vitality at the beginning, so far the natal magic weapon of the rain in the water 'water eye snake' is roughly completed.
After that, it is to replenish the river water, increase experience, and improve strength, and finally this natal magic weapon, whether it can become the Jiao of the water eye, the dragon of the water eye, it depends on the upgrade method of the rain in the water.
As for now, this water-eyed snake has no other way than to increase the necessary water for the water spell of the rain in the water, can be used as a whip to beat people, and can be used as a snake to bite people.
Of course, as a magic weapon, it can also provide attributes, and the attributes it provides are exactly what the rain in the water needs most now, water spells +2, physical attack +50, and spell attack +30.
Just as Shui Yu completed his natal magic weapon, outside the tribe where Shui Yu was located, the patrolling Wu soldiers found another creature walking towards this tribe.
Although this kind of three-meter tall looks like a member of the Wu Clan, the patrolmen who are convinced that they can recognize everyone in the clan can be sure that this is not a member of their own clan.
At this time, the two witches who helped the rain in the water carry the iron-backed six-legged crocodile to the central platform shouted, "Which ancestral witch are you from which tribe, are you an adult, how could your patriarch let you out, don't you know that it is dangerous to walk in the flood wilderness if you have not reached the triple heaven or above?" ”
The Wu clan below has a tiger face, but has hands and four legs, and looks like a half-human tiger mutant of a centaur.
In his hand he carried a cane-like totem pole, which at first glance was a spell-type witch, and on his tiger back was a package made of rhinoceros skin, which was intended for a long journey.
As for his natal magic weapon, he didn't see it, and he didn't know if he put it away, or if he didn't have time to make it.
Hearing the shouts of the two sorcerers above, the half-human tiger sorcerer also responded loudly, "I'm from the Candle Nine Yin clan, the Xiaotang clan, I'm an adult, I'm here to find a friend." ”
"Looking for a friend? The Candle Nine Yin Clan often lives outside the Northwest Sea, in Zhangwei Mountain in the north of Chishui, which is very far away from here, how can you have friends here. ”
"That's right, my mother's clan is the Dijiang family, and I have always grown up with my mother's clan, and my mother's clan happened to pass by nearby." The Centaur explained.
For this explanation, the above two witches can be regarded as believing a little, among the twelve ancestral witches in the digital wilderness, that is, the Dijiang family that controls the space, lives more scattered, and most of the other clans have corresponding spheres of influence, and the distance between them will take more than half a year even if they fly, generally speaking, when the strength of the witches is below the triple heaven, they have no ability to communicate between clans at all.
Therefore, in the case that most players are now a heavy heaven, or have not reached a heavy heaven, the only one who can realize the connection between the clans is really this kind of witch who moves around the Dijiang clan.
The shamans who were patrolling the tribal walls at this time also believed such a thing, and with a wave of their big hands, they shouted, "Then you can come up." ”
When the half-human tiger witch heard this, he immediately jumped on the wall and said happily, "My name is Sanchi, by the way, do you know that there is a man called Rain in the Water?" ”
