Chapter 518: The Land of Origin

[The roulette knob continues to rotate under your twisting, the speed is getting slower and slower, and it gradually rattles, as if it has been twisted to the limit, but the water from the outlet is still flowing in small streams.] Do you want to continue? 】

"Yes."

[You ignore the protests of the pipes and continue to exert your strength, and you feel the tremors of the pipes under your feet becoming more and more frequent...... Until a certain moment, the pipe at the knob finally couldn't bear the pressure and exploded from the edge of the knob, and the water flow from the front outlet suddenly rushed out at a speed several times faster than the initial one......

"Uh......"

Mu You was embarrassed, and he wanted to tighten it a little and do it once and for all, but he didn't expect it to burst directly......

Fortunately, there was a chance to come back, Mu You hurriedly traced back according to the table, and stopped the force of the unicorn arm.

[You stopped turning the wheel knob in time, and at this moment the knob has almost been twisted to the carrying limit, but the water flow from the outlet is still gurgling. 】

[You observe for a while in front of the water tank, and at the current water storage rate, it will take about 50 hours from empty to full......]

It wasn't completely blocked, but the 'tsunami' time was extended from one hour to fifty hours, adding more than two days to an interval, which was basically enough for players to explore.

Mu You turned around and said the news to the city lord group, asking them to adjust the tsunami's clock.

This news immediately lifted the spirits of several city lords, you must know that since entering the real world for so long, it is precisely because of the threat of the tsunami that countless players have always been trapped in an acre and a third of land near the exit, unable to explore outside.

There are a lot of people, no matter what they do, and recently everyone has clearly felt that the efficiency of collecting divinity is decreasing day by day, and if this continues, I am afraid that players will attack each other to grab loot soon.

Fortunately, the tsunami has been shut down in time, and this urgent need has finally been solved, and then players can expand outward to their heart's content, and according to the number and enthusiasm of the current players, the area will be thoroughly explored, that is, within a few days.

After receiving the news, the city lords immediately began to organize an expedition and prepare to open up the wasteland.

Mu You didn't rush out to explore, but jumped into the sea again.

Since he can get away with it under the cover of an octopus, he wants to go into the sea and explore.

It can attract a mysterious creature that is more powerful than the Nine Stars to stay in this sea for a long time, and there is likely to be some secret hidden in this sea.

You jump into the sea and swim downward. 】

[You have equipped the relic 'Jellyfish Poison Gill', which temporarily gains the ability to breathe underwater, but your health continues to drop at a rate of one point per minute under the influence of the jellyfish toxin.] 】

This relic is one of the trophies that the wetland demon queen broke out just now, and Mu You left it after seeing that it was a little useful.

Although the equipment will continue to be poisoned, this toxin is not fatal, and when the health is reduced to less than half health, it will adapt to the toxin and stop bleeding, after all, it provides the ability to breathe underwater that is rare in the real world, which is an acceptable side effect.

[The water is dim and cold. You look around, and along the curved shore, a glowing aquatic plant hangs with a light that provides some light to the dark waters. 】

[You sneak down, and several octopuses several meters long suddenly appear around you, swimming around you playfully, but fortunately, the octopuses do not attack you, but show obvious curiosity and friendliness to you, as if inviting you to play together......]

Entering the sea, the imaginary scene of being directly eaten by many ferocious aquatic creatures did not happen, perhaps because of the existence of the mysterious octopus, the water is safe, and ordinary little water monsters do not dare to be presumptuous at all.

At this time, these 'little octopuses' gathered around him looked like they should be the children of the big octopus, but fortunately, with the cover of the octopus king's skin, these little octopuses didn't see anything abnormal, and regarded him as their own people.

Mu You ignored the onlookers of these little octopuses and continued to manipulate the characters to dive.

But the further down the text, there is a repeated reminder that 'the surroundings are getting narrower and narrower'.

"Is this just a 'lake'?" Mu You thought to himself.

The further down you go, the narrower it gets, resembling a cone-shaped funnel, and this topography is obviously only explained by a closed lake.

But if it's a lake, it's even more problematic.

You must know that the pipeline above the sea is constantly leaking, if this is just a closed lake, under the constant storage of water, it should have flooded the surrounding land a long time ago, how can it always maintain a stable water level?

The only explanation is that somewhere under this lake is connected to the outside world!

Thinking of this, Mu You continued to explore downward. What made him strange was that he didn't find the big octopus along the way, but there were tens of thousands of these small octopuses.

[You dive all the way, the bottom of the water becomes darker and darker, the visibility is extremely low, and when you look up, the surroundings are blurry......]

Although there is no fog under the water, due to the dim light, the visibility is not as good as on land, after all, there are fog-breaking mirrors on the ground.

I just dived all the way for more than an hour, and finally a prompt popped up.

[You suddenly saw a faint light coming from below, and when you looked closer, there was already the ground under the sea in front of you, with rocks and grass, and many colorful and strange plants growing. 】

[You can see at a glance that somewhere on the bottom of the sea of stars, a dark and dull circular gap is extremely conspicuous. This gap is hundreds of meters in circumference, and the surrounding undercurrents are surging, and there is no bottom down, and I don't know where it leads......]

[Pitch Black Vortex: A rare natural wonder in the real world, distributed all over the world, each pitch black vortex is connected to another vortex countless miles away. Through these vortexes, it is possible to cross space and instantly reach a completely new area. 】

"Oh?"

Mu You was overjoyed. Isn't this a teleportation array? It is also a naturally occurring wormhole, which does not require energy and can travel to another area at any time!

Mu You immediately operated the character and wanted to take a look through the whirlpool.

[You speed down and go straight to the dark vortex.] 】

[Just as you are about to approach the whirlpool, a familiar whisper suddenly comes from behind you, and the sound is filled with anger. 】

[A huge eye suddenly opens not far from you, and around the eye, through the light of the bottom of the sea, you vaguely see the outline of a giant octopus......]

[The little octopus chasing all the way around you was trembling with fright from this low roar, and they fled from you in panic. 】

[When you look again, a stout octopus foot has cut through the sea and is rapidly pumping towards you.] 】

You are crushed by an octopus. 】

【You are dead......】

……

“……”

Mu You was speechless, this big octopus didn't come sooner or later, but when he was wearing the wormhole, he ran out to show his presence.

Could it be that this guy is here to guard this wormhole?

Mu You frowned, no matter what, he was attacked at this moment, proving that the skin of the octopus king was useless, and it was impossible to escape next, and he would definitely die here once.

But even if you die, you have to die more valuable.

Mu You hurriedly traced back according to the table.

[Time passes, you go back ten seconds ago.] 】

[Looking at the octopus figure close at hand, you choose to summon the arm of the wind unicorn and aim at the octopus foot that is about to descend in front of you.] 】

[Soon, Octopus Foot roared again, did you immediately activate the Wind Burial Cannon?] 】

[You activated the Wind Burial Cannon, and the energy in your body was instantly emptied, and countless fine wind blades appeared at the bottom of the sea, forming a bright ball of light. 】

[The extremely compressed wind energy ran through, tearing everything along the way, and the attacking octopus foot was also forcibly repelled in the wind burial cannon, and was cut by the surging wind blade. 】

[In a deafening roar, you vaguely see the end of an octopus foot more than ten meters long, floating in front of you. Do you charge it? 】

Mu You's eyes lit up, he originally just thought that since he was dead, he would finally come to a wind burial cannon to test the power, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain!

Mu You hurriedly clicked 'Receive'.

[You charged 'Broken Octopus Foot'.] 】

The moment the prompt popped up, around Mu You's body, an orange octopus foot more than ten meters long and covered with suction cups appeared in the pet store, with a huge size, almost occupying the living room of the pet store, and crushing several tables and containers in the hall into pieces by the way.

The two clones who were busy with their own affairs looked up in surprise when they heard the movement.

Looking at the octopus that was still alive on the ground, he looked at Mu You with a strange face: "Body, we have octopus to eat tonight?" ”

Mu You smiled bitterly, and first looked down at the game.

[You were slapped into meat sauce by an angry octopus.] 】

You're dead! 】

[Your soul is drawn back by the soul lamp and returns to the green light. 】

[You were resurrected under the soul light, and cracks appeared on the resurrection stone in your hand......]

There are no accidents, and the characters in the game have died.

was directly cut off a piece of meat, Mu You estimated that the big octopus must hate him now, and he should not go over to touch his head again in a short time.

Mu You shook his head and closed the game, put away his phone, came to the octopus foot in the center of the living room, opened the entrance of the lock cylinder backpack, and sent the big guy who occupied the space to the backpack space first.

[A broken octopus foot, an excellent food ingredient, you may be able to use it for a barbecue party.] 】

[But you'd better be careful, because the person who eats it will carry the smell of this octopus's feet for a short time, and you'd better not wander around the octopus during this time, otherwise its body may follow the smell to seek revenge on you at any time.] 】

This is the information of the octopus foot fed back from the Omniscient Crystal.

Mu You had a headache after reading it, he also thought that the meat of this powerful creature should have some special functions, such as being used as a weapon, made into precious materials, and adding some attributes or something after eating, no matter how bad it is, it can give some divinity.

As a result, there is no special effect, it is just an ordinary ingredient, and if you eat it, you will be hated by the octopus, what's the use?

Mu You didn't know what to do with this thing for a while, so he could only throw it in the space first.

Fortunately, since this thing can be extracted from the game, it means that there is no life, and there is no need to worry about it growing into a complete octopus or something.

Back at the pet store, Mu You was not in a hurry to play the game again, and first went to watch the progress of the two clones.

On the side of the watchman, after spending money on online shopping, after experiencing the life of a local tyrant, he finally remembered the business and began to slowly walk the game process, at this time he seemed to be paying homage to his former residence 'Watchman Cottage', in addition to buying a bunch of gifts at the old cat store at the door, saying that he was going to visit the grandmother at the foot of the Misty Mountain later, as for the battle and upgrades, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

The progress of the medicine picker is much more serious, and when he first entered the game, he directly asked Mu You to borrow the scepter of the moon, and began to break into the Tower of the Brave for the first time.

After just such a while, Mu You looked at it again and found that he had already cleared the hundred floors once, but he fell on the last demon king, at this rate, it is estimated that he will not have to wait for the end of today, he will be able to completely clear the Brave Tower and enter the real world.

"Are you sure? Do you really want to choose the fire system? Mu You looked at the herb picker strangely.

After clearing the customs just now, the herb picker did not start again, but went out and directly applied to join the Scorching Sun City, obviously preparing to believe in the god of fire.

"Well, it was already well thought out when I was in the Garden of Bitterness." The herb picker nodded, proving that he was the result of careful consideration.

Compared with other gods, in addition to combat ability, the Vulcan system also has a special meaning: he is the only god of forging, and in the future, he can take the route of a forger and help people build equipment.

Forging this kind of thing, only you know your own needs best. From this point of view, between Mu You and the three clones, it is best to have one who can believe in the god of fire and be responsible for contracting other people's equipment in the future.

And the herb picker didn't expect other clones at all, and he silently shouldered this job.

"Okay, that's hard work for you."

Mu You nodded, someone was willing to take the initiative to assume the identity of this forging master, and he was naturally happy to see it.

Coming to his senses, he also began to think about his sub-beliefs.

He has not yet determined the sub-faith, firstly, because of the lack of divinity, it is a bit stretched to support one god of order, and raising two gods at the same time is still a bit idealized at this stage.

The second is because he has not yet decided which series to choose.

Because the God of Order is biased towards assistance as a whole, Mu You, the deputy believer, is more inclined to find a system that is biased towards output, and the alternatives are the God of Fire, the God of War, and the God of Moon.

It's a pity that these gods all have their own flaws, such as the god of death, the output seems to be violent, but the occasions when they can play their full strength are actually very limited, and once they face good creatures, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Mu You was hesitating, and his phone suddenly vibrate.

When I opened it, it was a message from Xiaoya.

"Boss, there's a vampire looking for you in Eternal Night."

"Vampires?"

Mu You was stunned for a moment, and instinctively thought of Mai Yi.

This cheap sister was arranged by him to find the tomb of the vampire duke before, is there news?

Thinking of this, Mu You hurriedly returned to the game and teleported to Eternal Night City to take a look.

You appear in the City of Eternal Night. 】

[The sky of Eternal Night City is still pitch black, but countless lamps have been erected in the city, and dense street lamps are connected into groups, illuminating the city. 】

[To the southwest of the city, a city of steel has been looming, countless automated mechanical creatures roam the streets, or transport minerals, or carry goblins, in the depths of the new clockwork city, a number of towers are being built rapidly......]

The southwest of Eternal Night City is the territory allocated to the goblins, under the gimmick of 'New Clockwork City', now a large number of homeless goblins have been gathered here, and the goblin factory has begun to take shape, relying on the strong labor provided by many robots, it has gradually begun to supplement the construction of Eternal Night City.

["Brother! A familiar voice sounds behind you. 】

[Looking back, a bat descended from the sky, landed on the ground, and quickly turned into Mai's figure.] 】

[I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much, Mai Yi rushed to you at an excited trot, but when he saw your appearance clearly, he was immediately stunned. 】

["Brother, are you hurt? Mai Yi looked at you worriedly, and immediately felt your weakness as soon as they met. 】

The weakness was naturally due to the sequelae of the release of the wind burial cannon, and at this time, Mu You didn't have time to talk to her, so he simply coped with a few words, and then went straight to the point.

[You ask Mai if you have found the duke's tomb?] 】

[Mai Yi looked at you apologetically: "I'm sorry brother, every duke takes his burial place very seriously, and rarely discloses any clues to the outside world, and Mai Yi has not been able to find useful information for the time being......]

[Mai Yi's voice changed, and he mentioned another thing: "However, when I was searching for an abandoned tribe in the history of the Blood Clan, I accidentally found an old diary left by the ancestor of the Blood Clan, which seems to mention the process of the birth of the ancestor of the Blood Clan......]
