Chapter 190: Chocobo's First Experience
[After a period of vertigo, you are resurrected in the 'Watchman's Cabin.] 】
After coming back from the resurrection, Mu You immediately pointed out the shrine and looked at it.
Sure enough, at this moment, on the urn, there was a skull at the bottom, and its eyes had lit up with a strange purple light.
"Purple ......"
Mu You touched his chin, it seemed that the level of corpses absorbed was different, and the reaction would be different in the color of the ghost fire of the skull.
And according to the color distinction habits of the Star Spirit Realm, purple is not the most advanced troll, and there are probably gold and the like......
Shaking his head, Mu You rode the teleportation array back to Xiaoya's tree house, and rode the donkey towards the cave again.
He died once just now, plus a teleportation, and then it took two years of consumption, and he just got a corpse, and he wanted to get twenty corpses, and he would have to spend at least 40 years of life.
This is also his time pocket watch, which can greatly reduce the life consumption in the process of pathfinding, and if ordinary people come to this task, they don't know how many lives they have to burn to complete......
By the time I got back to the cave, it was already two hours later, and it was early Sunday morning.
Mu You entered the cave again, and was about to copy the routine just now and continue to find the second tomb.
It didn't take long for him to find out that something was wrong: the density of patrolling trolls had increased significantly!
In the past, if the missile was shot two or three times, it would be possible to find an unguarded path. But now, it takes about seven or eight times to find a way, the strength of the guards has more than doubled, and the patrol range of each troll has been greatly expanded.
"It seems that the trolls discovered that the grave of a chief had been dug up, and they sent additional forces to guard the tomb......"
Mu You couldn't help frowning, in this case, it was barely possible to act, but don't think about absorbing the corpses, if it lasts for two minutes, it will definitely be discovered.
What's more, if he continues to commit crimes against the wind, every time he digs an additional grave, the guard force will probably increase by one layer, and it will soon make it difficult for him to move an inch.
Mu You has realized that this task may not be completed with the game character, because the game character is too dull to judge when to stop, and by the time he finds the troll, the troll has already approached him.
It seems that he can only wait for him to enter the door at night, and he can rely on his body to complete it.
Thinking of this, Mu You immediately gave up his plan to continue absorbing the corpses, and instead went all out to explore the crypt, at least to poke out the location of the high tomb first, and when the main body acted at night, it would be much easier.
The next day, Mu You began to draw a map of the tomb with all his might, and after more than 50 years of physical strength, he finally found the location of twenty high-level troll tombs before nightfall.
In addition, during the day, Lin Xue successfully transformed the spell of 'Dark Fire' into black magic.
She's been experimenting with this card since Thursday's meeting, and now on the fourth day, she's finally lucky enough to make her first finished one.
Of course, this speed can't be compared with Mu You, but compared to other rookie secret magicians, it is much stronger, it can only be said that Lin Xue's learning talent and calm and meticulous thinking ability have a natural advantage in the study of secret arts, and he has just become a secret master for less than two weeks, and in terms of card making ability, he is not inferior to veterans such as lion shooters.
The transformed black magic, called 'Hellfire', the original Hellfire is just a small ghost fire, and it can only hit one target after flying out, and the transformed Hellfire, after exploding, will cause 300 damage to all creatures within a radius of three meters of the opponent.
300 damage is actually only equivalent to a mid-level magic, which is far worse than a small fireball that is also a low-level black magic, both in terms of damage and range.
However, this secret spell also comes with two special effects: one is that it explodes at the same time, it dispels all magic effects within the range, and the other is that it deals five times the damage to soul creatures.
This will increase the practicality of this magic several times, even if you ignore the damage, it is very good to use it purely as a range dispel method, and if it is used against soul creatures, the effect is outstanding, and the damage of 1500 points at a time is comparable to the explosive power of two or three high-level magic!
Mu You made a few of these cards, and it was just about time to enter the door, and this spell could be used when he entered the door this time.
In addition, Mu You also took the time to refine a new elixir, 'Fish Gill Potion', the effect of which is to grow fish gills on the neck for underwater breathing for a period of time after taking it.
The main ingredients of this potion are Houttuynia cordata and mermaid scales, and Houttuynia cordata Mu You had already obtained a batch of spare items when he was picking up the loot.
As for the scales...... For merfolk are like hair, scales fall off naturally every day, and the scales that fall off are collected by the merfolk themselves and used to trade with other races.
So Mu You just prepared a few boxes of canned bait, and at the price of one can and one piece, he easily exchanged a lot of scales from the mermaid's hands.
In the end, ten bottles of gill potion were successfully baked, seven bottles of fine grade and three bottles of rare grade. The gills of the Finesse Potion will last for five hours, while the Rare will last all day!
The reason why this potion was made was mainly for dealing with the twins. After all, the Fishman Mask is a foreign object, and there is a possibility that it will fail, or the effect of the potion is safer.
After making these preparations, it was already approaching ten o'clock in the evening.
Mu You walked into the backpack space, came to the edge of the lake, put down a can of fish bait, and then whistled at the lake below.
The merfolk quickly swam up when they heard the movement and surfaced to take a look.
After getting along for the past few days, the mermaid no longer has much vigilance against Mu You, and when she saw the canned food placed on the shore, she consciously swam over, put a scale next to it, and then took away the can.
"I'm going to the Star Spirit Realm, do you want to go back with me?" Mu You took the opportunity to ask.
The mermaid's ears twitched, and a hint of hesitation was evident on her face, but the hesitation lasted less than two seconds before she made a decision.
The mermaid did not speak, but the fish swung its tail, and plunged to the bottom of the lake with the can in its hand, and did not move.
The meaning is clear: I don't want to go back.
Mu You was not surprised by this, this space was much better than her original living conditions, the food was enough, and no one was competing with her for food and territory...... It's normal not to want to go now.
Mu You didn't care about her, walked to the grass next to her, and led a chocobo out.
[Chocobo (Mature Stage): A terrified bird with vestigial wings, a high-quality mount, good at long-distance running, and carrying up to two people. Has the ability to 'breathe underwater': can move freely in an underwater environment. 】
This is the chocobo that Mu You specially fed, and now it has grown to a height of two meters five, with golden feathers, a wide beak, and two strong and slender legs.
This chocobo Mu You has already made a contract, and it is also equipped with a specially customized saddle on its back.
At this time, the chocobo also seemed to sense that it was about to follow its owner out of this birthplace and run on a wider land, and couldn't help but circle around Mu You excitedly, its long tail feathers were constantly swaying, and its mouth was 'chirping'.
Mu You soothed the golden feathers on its neck, quieted it down, and then took the reins and led it out of the space.
In the basement, Lin Xue and Xiaoya were already waiting in front of the door. With the experience of the last time, they all wore much thicker clothes this time.
In addition, there are little spiders, which are also going to follow into the door this time.
Mu You looked at the watch time, and after the hour hand passed ten o'clock, he stepped forward on time and pushed the door open.
Outside the door, it was still the scene of the snowy sky. The cold wind whistled, and the little spider immediately jumped on the back of the chocobo and buried it in its fluffy feathers to keep warm.
Mu You let the war eagle out, wandered around the sky, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal nearby, he led the chocobo out of the door, and then put it into the prepared backpack.
"You two practice first, I'll go to the Elven Forest to complete a task."
Mu You left the war eagle as usual, and after greeting the two, he teleported to the Elven Forest, preparing to take advantage of the strongest combat power at night to complete the troll task first.
After a period of teleportation dizziness, Mu You appeared in an exquisite wooden house.
This is Xiaoya's treehouse in the game, but there are only some simple living items in the house, and there is nothing special about it.
Leaving the tree house, Mu You released the chocobo, rode up, patted its neck, and motioned it to move west.
When the chocobo saw the new land, it couldn't wait for a long time, and kept stepping on the same place, until at this moment, Mu You gave the order, and it immediately flew out like an arrow from the string.
He only felt that the scenery on both sides was retreating rapidly, and the strong wind was coming, but it was blocked by the unique beak structure of the chocobo, which separated to both sides, greatly reducing the wind resistance suffered by the riders behind him.
At the same time, the chocobo's two strong legs are like two shock absorbers, and even when walking through mountains and forests like the Elven Forest, he can hardly feel the bumps.
The original two-hour journey took only ten minutes to run at the feet of chocobos, and they had already arrived at the predetermined location.
When Mu You went to the ground, the chocobo chirped twice dissatisfiedly, as if complaining about why it ran away for so long?
"Okay, let's go back first, and then there will be a chance to run openly."
Mu You patted its feathers amusedly.
This chocobo was brought in, of course he didn't plan to bring it back, and left it here for the game characters to use, and basically replaced the little donkey in the future, all year round.
