Chapter 444: The Patron Spirit of the Desert
"Yfrit, you don't have a good death!"
Caesar was furious, but at the same time he couldn't stop panicking.
Stabbed in the heart by the Desert Guardian, he will then lose all his strength and become a scarab with a life span of less than a year.
And there are so many cats guarding around......
Caesar could already imagine what would happen to him next: these guys didn't even intend to give him a chance to survive in the form of a worm!
"You want me to die, you dream!"
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Caesar suddenly roared, and while the divine power in his body had not completely dissipated, he hurriedly urged the last trace of divine power and summoned a batch of scarabs that he had raised in the divine realm over the years.
In the next moment, Caesar's giant body shrank rapidly, until it disappeared, turning into a finger-sized scarab beetle, which fell to the ground on eight legs, chirping and hissing.
At the same time, countless scarab beetles poured out from where Caesar had disappeared, and there were hundreds of thousands of them, directly drowning the insects that Caesar had turned into.
Then, like the waves of the sea, the dense insects quickly spread out to the surrounding area.
The cats gathered around instinctively jumped backwards, there was no way, although the strength of a single insect was very weak, but once it gathered to this number, it was like a locust transiting, which could eat a creature in an instant.
Even Evans and the Manticore subconsciously took a few steps back and jumped to a relatively safe height, only then did they begin to turn back and fight back.
When everyone retreated, only two figures stood still and began to attack the insects.
One is the bone dragon, as a divine beast with only white bones left, the bone dragon is not afraid of this kind of thing aimed at flesh and blood, the dragon's tail continues to whip, and a large number of insects die instantly.
The other is Mu You, he is still in the form of a mecha, and he is not afraid of insects, and he also has a pocket watch of the unpredictable prophet, at the moment when the insect swarm poured out, his two shotguns did not stop, and the direction of fire was aimed at the position where Caesar disappeared into the insect swarm.
Between the tongues of fire, the swarm of insects over there died in large numbers.
In the distance, Lin Xue also joined the battlefield, and the Grim Reaper wielded a scythe to continuously harvest patches of insects.
With the efforts of several people, the surging insect tide at the scene became sparse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the number of insects decreases, cats on the periphery also jump over, and this moving gadget has a natural attraction for cats.
Thousands of cats suddenly turned on the Shadowless Fist mode, and one claw could kill one, and countless scarabs died from cat's claws.
However, the bugs seemed to have been ordered, and did not stop at all to attack anyone, but scattered and fled directly beyond the oasis with a clear goal, never stopping.
"Caesar wanted to flee into the desert and stop him!" The troubadour shouted.
Of course, the others understand this, and they are all using their own means to kill the bugs.
It's a pity that scarabs are not afraid of fire, otherwise it would be much easier to remove.
In this way, the insect swarm fled all the way, and the crowd and the cat group chased and killed all the way, and soon eliminated more than 99% of the insects, only a very small part, because they were too scattered, and the target was too small, resulting in being left out, and escaped from everyone's field of vision under the cover of various horns.
"Almost."
After Mu You killed all the insects in his sight, he put away the hot barrel: "If the other party can survive in this way, then he is lucky." ”
When the others heard this, they all gave up the pursuit.
Even Evans and Manticore, the two who hated Caesar the most, chose to stop at this time.
Of course, the most important reason is that it doesn't matter anymore, Caesar has turned into a worm and has lost all his strength, and he can't do anything next, and it doesn't make a difference whether he dies or not.
Just when everyone stopped, in a crack in the ground dozens of meters away from everyone, a scarab beetle sneakily crawled out of the crack in the stone, clinging to a low blade of grass on the ground, and began to flee frantically.
This scarab beetle is the incarnation of Caesar.
Caesar cried out in his heart at this time.
originally thought that today was the most unlucky day in his life, everything was at the lowest point in an instant, and he was almost about to usher in the worst ending, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, his luck exploded and he survived the desperate pursuit of those people.
Caesar still has a feeling of disbelief when he thinks back to the escape process he just experienced.
Although even if he survived, he could no longer regain his strength and original form, and could only maintain the form of a bug, at least he was still alive, and more importantly, he still retained consciousness, which made him very different from ordinary scarabs!
As long as he can escape, he can find the fools of the previous Caesar Cult and fool them into continuing to work for him in the name of the incarnation of 'Caesar'.
In this way, he will have everything in lifespan, survival resources, etc., and if he is lucky, he can still enjoy the life of an emperor, even if he can only enjoy it in the form of a worm......
Of course, the premise of all this is to live here first!
Caesar was silently dreaming in his heart, and his limbs danced rapidly, and he accelerated his crawling speed again.
After walking all the way through the dense meadows, Caesar finally saw the golden desert in his narrow vision, just a few dozen meters ahead.
Caesar was in ecstasy, and as long as he could escape into the desert and burrow into the endless sand, those behind him would be completely unruly.
Looking at the desert at hand, Caesar couldn't wait any longer, jumped out of the meadow, and ran forward.
However, just as he was about to flee the oasis and enter the desert, a meow suddenly sounded above his head, causing Caesar to snort violently.
Caesar subconsciously looked up, only to see a cat's paw falling from the sky and stepping on him.
Caesar was suddenly devastated, but it happened so quickly that by the time he found out, he had lost the opportunity to dodge, after all, who would have thought that there would be a cat so unskilled that he would run to such a marginal area to ambush him......
In despair, Caesar could only watch as the cat's paw landed on him.
"Meow, it's ...... finished"
In the next second, a silver-gray figure landed on the ground, two cat's paws stretched forward, tails cocked, and a beautiful cat stretched out a lazy waist.
After experiencing that thrill in the tower, Coke was frightened, and after being brought back to the ground by Mu You just now, watching the earth-shattering battle of those giants, it didn't want to be involved again, so it slipped away from the battlefield, hid to the edge of the oasis, climbed to the top of a tree, watched the battle from afar, and prepared to slip away as soon as the situation was wrong.
Fortunately, the situation developed well, and Mu You and the others successfully killed the crazy giant.
It wasn't until this moment that Cola confirmed that the battlefield had been almost cleaned, so he jumped from the tree, ready to go back to show his presence and show his presence, otherwise it would be bad if he was forgotten here by Mu You later.
"Smack!"
As a result, as soon as the cola landed, before the lazy waist was stretched, I felt that I was slammed under my feet, and it seemed that I had stepped on something.
"Meow?"
Cola hurriedly raised his paw to take a look, and saw a trampled bug corpse lying on the ground, and some insect shells and unknown slime were sticking to his pink flesh ball.
"Oh, it's disgusting!"
Cola hurriedly shook his flesh claws, and wiped on the trunk next to him for a long time, until it was cleaned up, and then trotted towards Mu You.
……
In the distance, when all the fighting was over, Mu You also switched back to the skin of the watchman and walked towards Evans.
Evans, who was seriously wounded, was now completely injured after taking some potions, but his scattered and blood-stained armor still showed the cruelty and tragedy of this war.
"How, how much has your army been attribution?" Mu You's gaze crossed Evans and swept behind him, the soldiers who were still lying down on the desert.
Evans smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Fortunately, less than a tenth of the soldiers were killed, and the number of soldiers was not reduced too much......"
Of course, Mu You can understand the meaning of his words, on the surface, it seems that the attrition ratio is not high, but this is the Star Spirit Realm with a resurrection mechanism, and those who have been reduced are all people who have completely killed their lifespans, and everyone is likely to die dozens or hundreds of times before finally dying.
Even the number of people whose life span has been exhausted has reached one-tenth, and needless to say that the loss of this army in the sum of life span has been reduced by at least two-thirds.
In addition, what is more important is the level, under the continuous death, it brings a lot of experience points deduction, many soldiers have been directly killed from the fifteenth level or above, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army has dropped significantly, which is the real fatal impact!
"As I said earlier, tell you not to do stupid things, but you don't listen, look at this...... Hey, why bother? At this moment, the troubadour emerged from the magic lamp again, and Evans was counted down, with an emotional look.
Evans smiled wryly and did not refute.
This is not something that can be transferred by his will, even if he allows the army to withdraw, the soldiers will not agree, after all, no one can know what will happen before the prophet.
Fortunately, no matter what, the result was good, not only succeeded in eliminating Caesar, but also allowed most of them to survive, which is better than letting 100,000 people die here directly.
"What about you?" Mu You looked at the troubadour again: "Can the divine power be taken back?" ”
Caesar had been deprived of his divine powers, and the divine powers did not return directly to the troubadour, but poured into the magic lamp.
"No problem, it just takes some time." The troubadour smiled confidently when he heard this.
Anyway, the divine power is stored in the magic lamp, and it will not be lost, and his soul is inseparable from the magic lamp, as long as there is a stable environment and sufficient time, sooner or later he can slowly withdraw from his body.
"Next, are you two going to leave the desert?" Evans asked.
"Yes, it's time to go back." Mu You took out the Order Divine Pen and stroked the rough and tortuous pen.
To put it bluntly, he came for the magic pen, and now that the magic pen is in hand, he has no reason to continue to stay in the desert.
"I also need to follow him out of the desert for the time being, to help him complete the subsequent inheritance handover, and in addition, I owe him two wishes." The troubadour pointed to Mu Lobbying.
"May the Desert Goddess bless you!"
Evans made a blessing to several people, then shook hands with Mu You, and said sincerely: "Welcome to come to the desert again at any time, the desert will not forget your kindness, you will always be friends here!" ”
After shaking hands, Evans took a short sword from his body, held it in both hands, and handed it to the troubadour: "This is the artifact 'Desert Guardian' that you gave you in the first place, and now that the mission of killing Caesar has been completed, it is time to return it to its rightful owner." ”
The troubadour looked at Evans strangely and returned the sword seriously, but he burst out laughing: "What does the thing belong to?" This is originally the Desert Goddess's thing, and I also happened to pick it up, and I can't think of anyone else who is qualified to hold it except you, the bloodline heir of the Desert Goddess. ”
"Oh?" Mu You was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Evans in surprise.
Unexpectedly, he was the same as Lin Xue, the bloodline inheritor of a god...... However, this explains why Evans is so unwavering in his belief in the goddess of the desert.
"Yes." Evans smiled wryly and nodded, he had never revealed this identity to outsiders, but he was not surprised that the lamp god could see it.
"What kind of god is the goddess of the desert?" Mu You asked curiously.
"The goddess of the desert, named 'Serkite', holds the authority of 'dispelling poison', and is the nemesis of all desert poisons such as scorpions, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, etc., since ancient times, the desert goddess has been the most important patron saint of the inhabitants of this land, and there is no one." Evans proudly introduced.
"O Serquet, she is a kind-hearted and dedusting goddess, and she never gave up her priesthood until she died...... "The troubadour had an emotional expression when he heard this, as if recalling the past.
After a moment, he looked at Evans and nodded with satisfaction: "Now that there are descendants like you to help her continue to protect the desert, she can be regarded as blind." ”
"From now on, you are the patron saint of the desert, of course, the ...... of unknown origin," the troubadour looked at a group of soldiers outside: "You have defeated Caesar and guarded the desert, but you are destined not to be known...... But don't worry, when I regain my divine powers, I will still return to the desert and continue to be my troubadour, and when the time comes, I will definitely turn today's heroic deeds into troubadours and spread them in the desert for everyone to know. You heroes who have guarded the desert should not be buried by history. ”
Evans smiled noncommittally and looked down at the dagger in his hand.
He didn't know if any of his soldiers would care about these reputations, but in short, he would continue to hold this sword and silently guard this land.
……
Half an hour later, Mu You, Lin Xue and the others said goodbye to Evans and teleported back to Dawn City together.
In addition to the bone dragon, the manticore lion and the lamp god also followed Mu You to Dawn City.
As soon as the two giant creatures entered the city, they immediately attracted countless onlookers, and a bunch of posts of exclamation and discussion instantly appeared on the forum.
The manticore only felt noisy about this, it only came here to protect the magic lamp and its master, and had no interest in these mortal onlookers, so after entering the city, it directly turned into an orange cat and found a quiet place to sleep.
It was the bone dragon, which was gathered by countless players at this time, chattering and interacting with it, and actually vaguely regained the feeling when he was calling for wind and rain in the star spirit world and being led by a group of believers as a 'divine dragon', so he deliberately entrenched in a conspicuous place near the city lord's fort, allowing people to look at it and enjoy the comfort of being sought after.
Mu You didn't care about the two divine beasts, and immediately after entering the city, he entered the dungeon with the magic lamp, all the way to the seventh floor, and then through the gate in the hive, and went down to the power room where the divine remains were stored.
Now that all the conditions are in place, he is about to officially fuse the bloodline.
"Yo, Demon God's Bone!"
When Mu You took out the bones of the demon god and the blood of the gods in turn, the troubadour phantom that emerged from the magic lamp next to him suddenly burst out in surprise.
The troubadour hurriedly floated up to him, looked carefully at the huge divine bone on the ground, and couldn't help but be amazed: "Yes, you can get this level of divine bone at the beginning...... However, the bones of the demon god are not easy to fuse......"
Mu You was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What?" Could it be that the bones of the demon god and the god of order are incompatible? ”
The Demon God Bone that he had managed to get with great difficulty, if this was not compatible, he would have to find the God Bone again......
"Oh, that's not it, it's just that fusing such a high-star god bone at the beginning will cause a lot of burden on your body in the process...... In short, it will be painful for you to fuse, and it will take much longer than the average god bone. ”
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as he could be fused, as for what pain was not painful, he didn't care, anyway, it was a one-time short-term pain, and it would be over after fusion, and it was not long-term, it didn't matter.
"So, how long will it take for these two things to fuse?" Mu You asked.
Receiving the skin of the gods is actually only a matter of moments, and the focus is on the prerequisites for receiving the inheritance: you need to first fuse the blood of the gods and transform yourself into a bloodline that can accept the inheritance; Then fuse the god bone into the body to enhance the strength of the body, so as to increase the star and ceiling that the god skin can manifest.
Of course, the fusion of bone and blood can be carried out at the same time and does not conflict.
"A week or so." The troubadour estimated it and said.
"A week...... So long? ”
Mu You looked at him with a strange face. He thought that even if the Demon God's Bone took a little longer, only a few hours at most, he would definitely be able to get it done before today.
As a result, it took a week......
The troubadour rolled his eyes: "You think it's a drug, just swallow it." It's about completely reinventing your body from start to finish, how can it be so fast. ”
"Okay......"
Mu You smiled bitterly. In this way, he will definitely not be able to go back until the 'door' closes today. According to the rules of the life of the door buckle, the next week, he will be deducted for a total of 127 years of additional life.
This point of life is nothing, the key is that he still has to find a way to go back after seven days, and at this time, it seems too late to find other forces to borrow the door temporarily.
Fortunately, this is not a big deal, even if there is no other door to go, there is still the well of the Fuya family available, and after seven days, go back directly through that well, as long as you return to the earth, the lifespan will naturally stop being deducted.
Next, Mu You returned to the city first, told Lin Xue and them the news, and asked Lin Xue to take Coke and Vivian back first, put the door away, and then went to inform Fuya, asking her not to leave in a hurry, seven days later, she went to Dawn City, he didn't know the way to her ancestral house, and he had to let her lead the way when the time came.
After doing all this, Mu You returned to the power room.
"It will hurt a lot next, you, be prepared......" said the troubadour.
"Well, let's get started."
Mu You nodded, found a place to lie down, held the blood of the god and the bone of the god in both hands, and after taking a breath, under the watchful eye of the god of lights, he began to fuse.
"Hmm......"
The moment the fusion began, Mu You suddenly felt as if the skin of his whole body had fallen directly into the magma, becoming extremely hot.
He admits that he underestimated what the god of lights called 'mental preparation'.
The key is that under this indescribable pain, his consciousness is still very clear!
In addition, this kind of hot heat is still spreading inward rapidly, and soon, Mu You only felt that the cells in his body began to boil and burn, as if he had fallen into a blazing cooking oil, and life was worse than death......
