Chapter Seventy-Seven: Greedy Harvest
When he returned to the Lookout Square, where the goblins were imprisoned, there were about fifty minutes left in the [Ice Curse] time, and in order to reduce the possibility of accidents, Chu Ge planned to wait until the curse time was over and his health was full before doing those dangerous things.
While waiting, his mind involuntarily began to think about the information about the four supreme crystals, and the song sang:
……
Garnet Nilusa, gave birth to undefeated courage.
The emerald stone Silba gathers hope to sow freedom.
Amber stone Arya, bestows the bearer with the meaning of steel.
Lapis lazuli's Feia, brilliant and introverted condensed mysterious.
……
"'The giver is like steel'...... Well, although it is much more vivid than the description of lapis lazuli, it is still too general, and there are too many people who meet this aspect, and it cannot be used as a reference standard at all. ”
Chu Ge tapped his chin lightly, trying to deduce the identity of the person who took the amber stone from the clues.
"I remember that according to the official account, the rebellion in the royal capital five years ago was all caused by the healing of the church."
"After thoroughly accepting the blood of the ancient gods in their own way, the individual strength of the members of the healing church has increased unabated compared to before, although the number is far from comparable to the heyday, but the elites are even stronger!"
"On that day, the seven disciples of the Healing Church and the two bishops attacked the royal capital, because they came with the belief that they would die, and they only used the strength of nine people to make the royal capital restless!"
"Ordinary guards can't intervene in this level of combat at all, and some of the top brass of the Templar went to Silva to deal with the incident of the Winter Veil, and the rest of the people couldn't stop the other party's attack at all, so the first king had to send a legendary attendant to help."
"And just when the palace defense was empty, a powerful assassin quietly sneaked in, desperately risking being killed by another legendary attendant, he successfully assassinated the first king, took the first king's heart and fled with serious injuries, even the attendant failed to catch up with him!"
"After the powerhouses of the National Academy arrived, they finally joined forces with the Holy Church to eliminate all the heresies, but the assassin's whereabouts are a mystery, not only his identity, but also his appearance!"
"The healing church in that turmoil seems to have been greatly damaged, and there are almost no transcendent legends left, and since then there has been no major action, it has always been a small fight."
"In other words, the person who took the amber stone must have reached some kind of agreement with the Healing Church, even if he is not a believer in the Healing Church......
"But according to the memories of my previous life, it seems that there are more or less some of the major forces who have a cooperative relationship with the Healing Church, but they can be ruthless enough to provide legendary combat ......power."
The Hutton Federation, no, it should be said that the Barka Institute is undoubtedly the most suspicious!
Although the woodland kingdom Berlan or Durontar, who belongs to the orcs, can show legendary combat power, they should not dare to take the risk of accompanying the healing church to invade Arcaya, it is good that they are not discovered, once they are discovered, they are afraid that the hard-won peace will be broken again!
(Bellan and Durontar are similar in nature to Alcaya, they are both forces ruled by a single race, and of course their size and strength are not comparable to Arcaya.) )
In addition to the above three and the healing church itself, those small hidden forces that have been passed down for a long time also have the possibility of taking action, after all, it is the temptation of Amber Stone Elya, even the pure-hearted ascetic will be moved.
"Lei Zhen's boss really doesn't know what that map represents, even if he wants to investigate the current situation in the ice prison again, he should send a real henchman to come, not a supernumerary like Lei Zhen."
"And the source of that map ......"
“……”
Thinking of this, Chu Ge's brows furrowed heavily, slashing together like two steel knives!
All the clues to the mystery now have to start with the minister, at least to figure out how the map came about!
As time passed, the effects of the Ice Curse finally wore off, and he put the charged quartz seaweed in his mouth and chewed it gently.
Compared to the quartz seaweed, which will be eliminated when it reaches the second order, the value of the witch doctor's recovery herb and the Barka artificial life liquid is undoubtedly more precious.
Ten minutes later, seeing that his health was almost full, Chu Ge stood up from the ground, put away the cloak that was still in effect, and walked to the nearest jackal.
"If the guess is correct, there's a lot of SP here!"
Although the positions of these low-level alien kneeling are also arranged, they are far less neat than those of the alien squares in the arena, but they don't look chaotic.
"According to the analysis of the situation of their battles with the aliens every night before, as long as they do not get close to a fixed area, the imprisoned aliens will not wake up, and the same battle will not take place. And fighting outside a fixed area does not lead to the awakening of the imprisoned aliens......"
"Then, I just need to lure out the aliens I need and kill them outside the range, and I can safely get SP points!"
Of course, this premise is based on the fact that the guess is correct and that the captivity of the alien provides SP.
Chu Ge's current area was on the left edge of Slave Square, close to the lookout, and the foreign branches in the vicinity were relatively sparse, making it easier to escape if the guess was wrong.
As he approached, the distance between the gnolls and him diminished.
"It's the closest thing to me, and if the reasoning is correct, I'll only face one enemy when I wake it up!"
"If the awakening distance is determined by strength, then it should be about the same as that goblin......"
Just when this thought appeared in Chu Ge's mind, the jackal suddenly raised its head and pounced towards Chu Ge with a hideous expression, but it was a pity that its limbs were trapped by ice locks, and it could only move a little distance forward.
Chu Ge, on the other hand, immediately retreated, observing the reactions of the other gnolls in the distance, and leaned towards a wide place.
The situation of the goblin was similar to the previous goblin, after waking up for about three seconds, the four chains that trapped the gnolls instantly dissolved, and the gnolls who were unrestrained quickly attacked towards Chu Ge!
In order to prevent the night from dreaming too much, Chu Ge didn't have any intention of keeping his hand, as soon as he came up, he shot with all his strength, and the dagger and fist fell on the jackal at the same time!
Compared to the goblins, this gnoll is a little stronger, and has reached the peak of the first order, but it is still meaningless.
Not to mention Chu Ge's strength and physique attributes that both exceeded 4.0, even his agility reached 2.9, not to mention that the jackal was not wearing any armor and weapons, and could only attack with his own claws.
Even if he didn't use any combat skills and followed the most savage primitive fighting, Chu Ge would be able to completely crush the Gnoll, not to mention that he was going all out now!
It didn't take him more than a minute for him to break the other man's neck, and his own health was barely deducted!
【SP+2】
There was a pleasant hint from the battle log template that these prisoners were indeed able to provide SP value, but the amount provided was a little different from what Chu Ge had imagined.
Originally, according to the strength of the first order peak of the Gnoll, its death could provide about ten SP points, but now Chu Ge only obtained one-fifth.
"Is it the peculiarity of Ice Hell? Or is it because of my increased strength? ”
Chu Ge fell silent, if the former was fine, if it was the latter, it would be a little difficult, you must know that before entering the Ice Hell, he was already unable to obtain SP from creatures below the middle of the first order.
He couldn't help but glance at the attributes of lapis lazuli Fei'a, and there were still only three question marks behind the column marked with [Divinity].
"Sure enough, it's hard to ask for it......"
Chu Ge shook his head self-deprecatingly, it was a very hard thing to worry about such an unsolvable problem.
However, although the SP value provided by a single alien race is relatively small, in the face of such a huge number, the total amount of SP value that you can obtain should be quite amazing, and it is impossible for these aliens to kill all of them even if they are soft!
"Hurry up and harvest."
He kicked the shattered ice crystals beside him, which were left behind by the gnolls after they died.
When he used the dagger to cut open the gnoll's skin, blood did gush out of the other party's wound, but when the blood touched the air, it immediately turned into white ice powder and sprinkled on the ground.
"It's weird, but at least I don't have to worry about blood spilling on me."
Then Chu Ge took some time to draw out three first-order gnolls one after another, and killed them all without any danger.
"I don't feel the pressure at all, since that's the case, let's lead more and quickly clean up the remaining first-order alien races!"
The ones he had just killed were all first-order aliens who were in a marginal position and had a relatively small number, and because of the constant vigilance, the efficiency was very low, and the number of people he had solved was less than one-tenth of the number of races.
The remaining number of first-order gnolls is twenty-three, all of them are in the lower position of the gnolls, and most of them are not difficult to cause.
"Three...... Four ...... Five, almost! ”
This time he was also much deeper than before, waking up the five first-order gnolls in one go, and when the ice lock on the first gnoll was about to melt, he immediately retreated to the rear.
Five first-order pinnacles, although even if this number doubled again, Chu Ge was confident that he would solve all of them, but considering the relationship between the consumption of health and the long-term continuous battle in the future, he adopted the optimal solution.
With no more life deducted, kill the Gnoll as quickly as possible!
【SP+2】!
【SP+3】!
【SP+2】!
……
"Whew...... Although I have a digital body, fatigue is still unavoidable. ”
After spending a lot of time, Chu Ge cleaned up all the first-order gnolls that could be awakened, and there were still four or five of them that were in the area of the second-order gnolls, and he didn't act rashly before he didn't know the scope of the second-order awakening.
During the previous battle, he consumed quartz seaweed again, gaining a total of 58 SP.
It is not impossible for the second-order gnolls Chu Ge to defeat quickly, but the price to be paid will definitely be much greater than when facing the first-order gnolls, and it is impossible to get rid of them easily like mowing the grass like now!
If he wanted to kill the same number of second-order gnolls in a short period of time, it was estimated that it would be difficult for Chu Ge to complete it even if he consumed all the supplies on his body, so he thought about it for a while and left from the gnoll's side.
Quickly harvest the other first-order aliens first, this is the most efficient method!
However, because of the kneeling position, the only first-order alien races that Chu Ge could awaken were the jackal on the far left and the kobold on the far right of the square.
(In order to prevent the intruders from detouring into the passage, the kneeling ranks of each alien race stretched all the way to the rear cave wall, and Chu Ge could not wake up the alien race in the middle from the rear, only there were free places on both sides.) )
After waiting for some time to regain his strength, he put on his cloak again, made his way through the alien group, and raised his butcher's knife at the kobold.
In the same way, the first-order kobold will be awakened on a small scale, and the SP value will be obtained by killing.
Gradually, there was more and more ice and snow on the right side of the square, and there were fewer and fewer first-order kobolds left.
Just as Chu Ge was happily brushing the SP value, in the place where he couldn't see, those kneeling alien leaders suddenly moved lightly at the same time, some raised their heads, some stretched out their claws, and some shook the ice lock on their arms.
After this action, they did not continue to do anything, but remained asleep. Of course, maybe after a certain condition is met, they will all wake up in an instant and surround Chu Ge in the most brutal way!
After another period of time, the first-order kobolds who could be safely awakened were also cleaned up by Chu Ge, and the SP value obtained from each kobold was not much like that of the jackals, almost all of them were 2~3 points, and the twenty-three first-order kobolds provided him with a total of 54 SP points.
"Do you have to approach the second-order alien race, be careful from now on."
Chu Ge touched the serrated dagger, the continuous battle had caused serious wear and tear on this weapon, and the durability had dropped to a dangerous number, but he didn't plan to continue to use the dagger in the next battle, facing the second-order alien race with a relatively large volume, the effect of the bronze heavy sword should be better.
"If you choose a second-order target, I remember that there seem to be a few mutant spellcasters on the Gnoll's side, and they should be easier to kill than a second-order kobold in melee without a staff."
Chu Ge glanced at the second-order kobolds kneeling in front of him, their muscular arms were quite thick, and he estimated that if he was hit hard by their fists, he would definitely not feel good, while the relatively slender body of the jackal caster looked much kinder now.
"Let's get back over there and start again, and it's closer to the lookout, so you won't be able to wait for anything to happen."
