Chapter 530: Protoss Origin
The Protoss and the Demon are completely opposite existences, the Demon is the representative of the strong body, and the Protoss is the embodiment of the power of the soul. To put it bluntly, it is spiritual power. But before this, Xia Chiyu had always been curious about how the Protoss appeared, which made him have no clue at all, and after opening this copy, Xia Chiyu finally understood.
In fact, according to Li Yi's research diary, there may be two reasons for the Protoss.
The first explanation is a more superstitious one. In fact, Xia Chiyu has also seen this statement in many other film works, which is the origin of "legend".
Since there are many people who believe in the existence of something, then this thing will become a real thing because of their "beliefs". Just like some of the legendary ghosts, they didn't exist in the first place, but as the stories of these ghosts became more and more widely known, these ghosts did appear.
This is the power of so-called "believing", which makes these things really exist because human beings believe in the existence of these things. This is also the origin of the Protoss...... Speculation.
When humans hope for the existence of some kind of creature that can save them, and hope for the appearance of gods, they will make up such a spiritual pillar, and then with the propaganda, more and more people will believe in the existence of gods.
And when more and more people believe in it, this "god" really appears, it is a spiritual body, a soul-like existence, capable of doing things that human beings cannot do. Just like the body of the demon race is just those black germs, and the body of the god race is also such a collection of beliefs, as long as it is parasitic on people who believe in its existence, it can survive.
This is one of the explanations, that is, the Protoss is actually created by humans themselves, just as the Demon is a physical virus that corrodes their physical body, the Protoss is also a spiritual virus.
When people put all their hopes in these so-called "gods", it is a sign that they have given up. Giving up oneself to try to change the status quo, just waiting for others to save oneself, this can actually be said to be a spiritual virus. So, this is what the Protoss did after they appeared.
The Protoss used the spiritual power of humans as food to maintain their existence, but at the same time, they also replaced the demons and raised humans in another way. In Xia Chiyu's view, this explanation is very reasonable.
However, in Li Yi's opinion, there is another explanation, that is, the city of the Protoss "Staircase of Heaven".
Legend has it that the Stairway to Heaven leads to a "top", and this top is supposed to be where the "Creator" is located.
Actually, it's very interesting. According to Li Yi's statement, it feels like Li Yi already knows that he is in a virtual world, the spiritual world of "someone". This statement is also true, because at the top of the connection is the main server of AO, and this world is indeed a virtual world created by people.
Of course, this is just speculation, and like the previous speculation, Li Yi did not confirm either of these speculations.
The reason why Li Yi would think of this speculation in this place was because of the seal of the evil dragon.
How to seal the evil dragon. In fact, it is to rely on the "souls" of those fallen soldiers. In Xia Chiyu's opinion, this is really a bit cruel, because those soldiers who died died before they died, and their souls could not rest after death, and they had to fight the evil dragon on the soul battlefield forever. The cycle of continuous killing and being killed, there is no more tragic fate than this.
Li Yi used this method to let the souls of these fallen soldiers suppress the power of the evil dragon and prevent it from leaking. But as time passed, the souls of these fallen soldiers were finally corrupted by the power of the evil dragon. Became a part of the dragon.
This time, Xia Chiyu and the others eliminated the torso of the evil dragon, and it only temporarily dispersed the power of the evil dragon, but after a while. The dragon's power will be restored again, and then you will have to return here again to fight the dragon.
This is equivalent to changing the souls of those fallen soldiers who are responsible for constantly fighting the evil dragon and suppressing the power of the evil dragon to the players of them. But there is no way to do this, the magic power on the evil dragon cannot be dispelled, and this is the plot setting of this dungeon. But in some ways, this setting is actually quite reasonable......
This would explain why the player had to farm the quest over and over again.
"Actually, in my opinion, this dungeon is even more difficult than the previous Top of the Firmament." Xia Chiyu frowned and said.
"yes, the copy is too big, and there are so many monsters." Lacey frowned and sighed, "I estimate that if it is a player of the same level, it will take thirty or forty minutes to complete each area. After all, a boss monster plus a boss. ”
"Hmph, isn't it more than that?" Gu Qinyan didn't have a good air, "There are so many mobs, if there is no level crushing, just cleaning up the mobs is enough to get tired, plus a total of four areas, if it is not for four teams like us, it will take at least an hour to rest and eliminate fatigue halfway." ”
Su Xing shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "Not to mention the damage of the final boss...... I don't think ordinary players have a level crush, and the boss battle probably lasts for twenty minutes, right? After such a long boss battle, it is naturally easy to make mistakes in the middle of the battle, and the damage of the boss skill is so high and the release is so frequent, it is simply a rookie killer. ”
"Hey, are you saying we're rookies!?" Xiao You angrily pinched his awake ear and asked.
Because Xiao You and the others were indeed frequently swept by the BOSS skills just now, and Xiao You and the others actually had a level of ten levels to crush, and they would still lose about 20% of their blood if they were swept by the BOSS skills. The skill of Dragon's Breath is even more continuous damage, if the player does not dodge and chooses to stand and jerk, all the damage will be eaten, even if there is a ten-level crush, it will be killed in seconds.
In fact, in the previous boss battle, if it weren't for Xia Chiyu's two group healing spells, I'm afraid that Xiao You and the others would still be killed even if they were crushed by the tenth-level level. The difficulty of this boss is indeed beyond imagination.
"I guess that's a 'threshold'." Xia Chiyu explained, "If you can't beat this boss, it proves that the player's level is indeed not up to this level, so it's better to go back and hone it." I guess that's what it means. Because in fact, this boss tests some basic skills. ”
Liu Yiyu thought for a while, and suddenly said: "It's true, this boss doesn't move by itself!" ”
"Right?" Xia Chiyu said with a smile, "The head of the evil dragon will not move from the beginning to the end, and the skill also has obvious hints. So this boss is, to put it bluntly, a complete test of the player's dodging skills. ”
"It seems that our standard is still a lot worse." Pepe smiled helplessly.
"You just need to get acquainted with it, after all, it's only one fight." Xia Chiyu comforted, "These bosses need to be tried and practiced repeatedly. So, let's start with this book now. ”
After this dungeon, the main line on the Dragonman side is over, and at the end of this last research diary, a clue also appears to guide them to the next place, that is, the main city of the Orc Clan, the hunting place "Hanyu".
And the purpose of going to the main city of the orc clan is to confirm Li Yi's speculation about the god race. He plans to climb to the top of the Orc Clan's soul totem with his Dragon Clan's partner Kidd to investigate the cause of the Protoss' appearance.
"There's still a lot of time. Want to continue? Lin Qianxue asked with a smile, Xia Chiyu knew that she would definitely want everyone to stay in her villa all night, and if she was hungry in the middle of the game, she could go out for a supper or something.
"Go ahead, just go to the orc side and have a look." Xia Chiyu replied, "The level of the dungeon has been raised to level sixty-five here, and the level span of the dungeon should not be so big after that." ”
The large level span of the early dungeon is because the early upgrade speed is fast, and the upgrade is relatively safe, and it is possible for a dungeon to upgrade two or three levels, but it is very difficult to level up in the later stage. Even if you open a dungeon, you may not be able to upgrade by half a level.
Therefore, from this later stage onwards, the dungeon level span will be reduced. For example, the four dungeons on the orc clan's side have only increased their level from level sixty-five to level seventy-two.
And rightfully so. First of all, when you come to the orc side, you must experience the national customs here.
The Orc cities are more retro, somewhat similar to the Mongolian side, with buildings such as yurts and tents. Built on a cliff, several successive cliffs make up the main city of the orc clan, "Cold Jade".
Although this place is called the land of hunting, it is actually called the land of eternal hunting. Because of the relatively harsh environment of this place, due to the scarcity of civilization, life here is too primitive, and this place has become a permanent hunting place, regardless of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, thunder and rain, hunting in this area in an infinite cycle.
And in this place, there is a new monster species, the "Dangerous Species". This is a kind of monster unique to this map, in fact, it is a kind of world boss, each boss has unique attributes, not only terrifying strength but also extremely large size. And there is a special thing about it, that is, these dangerous species actually fight each other.
When Xia Chiyu and the others teleported to the cold jade of the main city, they could stand above the city and see the huge dangerous species under the cliff fighting each other, and they could speculate on the skills of these dangerous species through this kind of observation, because these dangerous species will not really fight to the death, when one side has residual blood, the residual blood will slip away.
The special cuisine of the orcs is barbecue, and most of it is grilled meat, but the grilled vegetables are also quite delicious. In fact, there is nothing special about barbecue, what is unique is the spices of the orc tribe, all kinds of strange spices, which set off these barbecues extraordinarily delicious. Xia Chiyu and others have just eaten barbecue in real life, but compared with these barbecues in the game, it tastes like chewing wax.
And the players of the orc clan are actually a highlight, on the contrary, the orc clan actually has more female players, especially the anchor, because the cat ear girl and the rabbit ear girl are undoubtedly extremely lethal for male players.
But because this game has an identity authentication system, you can't be a shemale player, so this race has become the best choice for streamers like Li Jiani and those girls who have a boyfriend or want to find a boyfriend. And the first choice of male gamers who want to be handsome is undoubtedly the Dragonman.
"Eat fish, you taste this!" Liu Yiyu said happily and handed over the barbecue skewers in his hand, "This is the tender crocodile meat I invited you to eat when we first met, I didn't expect it to be so delicious to make a barbecue!" ”
"Hmm." Xia Chiyu was stunned, and subconsciously took a bite on the barbecue skewer in Liu Yiyu's hand.
"Well, it's really delicious,...... Xia Chiyu replied, but he realized that there was a burning pain behind him, he turned his head to look, and found that Zhang Zinuo and Lin Qianxue were staring at him with straight faces, and their expressions were extremely terrifying......
"Come, eat the fish, and try my too?" Lin Qianxue smiled sweetly, handed over the crisp bones of the Thunder Tyrannosaurus in her hand, Xia Chiyu had no choice but to eat a piece, and then Zhang Zinuo was not to be outdone: "And this one of mine is also delicious." ”
"Well, it's delicious......" Xia Chiyu tasted the tenderloin of Zhang Zinuo's leyline bull and said, in order to end the topic, Xia Chiyu brought the matter to the point: "Well, let's hurry to the library, and then prepare to type." ”
Zhang Zinuo and Lin Qianxue were really distracted, and Xia Chiyu came to the library of the orc clan and looked at the parchment scrolls in this place. And after reading it like this, he probably knew the reason why Li Yi came to this place.
The "soul totem" of the orc race is somewhat similar to the Tower of the Dead that Xia Chiyu and the others fought when they met Agareth in the Capital of the Dead, which is a tall tower leading to the dome. They need to climb all the way up from the bottom of the tower to the top.
For the orcs, the soul totem is a path to heaven for the soul after death, and they believe that after death their soul will gather at the top of the tower and become part of the totem, protecting their descendants.
And Li Yi believes that this is where spiritual power is condensed. Li Yi felt that after climbing to the top of the tower, if he could figure out what the "final destination of the soul" was, he might be able to figure out the reason for the birth of the Protoss.
In fact, the Soul Totem is indeed not only a totem, but also a source of the Orcs' unique power.
The Orcs' new classes, the Axemen and Berserkers, have some unique abilities that allow them to add buffs to themselves through the transformation of the Beast Totem. Berserker's beast spirit totem "Tiger" increases attack power, while "Leopard" increases attack speed. Therefore, Li Yi speculated that the soul actually condensed into a spiritual power in the end, and this spiritual power would resonate with people with "common beliefs", which is the origin of the birth of the Protoss, which is the spiritual power of those who believe in the same "god".
"Okay, let's go and see what Li Yidu found from this place." Xia Chiyu looked up at the tower that went straight into the sky and said to himself.
"I hate climbing trees." At this time, Su Xing came coldly, paused, and added: "Or climb the tower." (To be continued.) )
