Chapter 35: That's All Right
Isabel's dying prayer went well.
The answer she gave was a little different from what Lu Yao thought.
According to the caveman dead, here's the thing.
This group of 28 troglodytes live in caves deep in the mountains, and they are a resource-poor population that neither farms nor trades, and has low intelligence. Most of the time, they hide underground and eat bugs.
The competition was too fierce to have enough bugs to eat, so the caveman ventured to the surface to hunt.
Unfortunately, successive years of drought and long winters have led to a lack of water and cold in the surrounding area. Originally, there were many fewer animals in the mountains, and some of the remaining animals had fled to the forest.
In the midst of these difficult times, the leader of the cavemen, the mutated caveman, made a bold decision: to find food further down the mountain!
In the process, the cavemen get acquainted with a new group, the Salt Pond Tribe.
The Salt Pond tribe beyond, offering to provide them with the meat, wheat, and salt they needed, in return for which the cavemen would work for them.
Even cavemen have to eat.
So they agreed.
Cavemen began to carry goods for the Salt Pond tribe, digging passages in the mountains, mining underground, and logging outside the mountains...... In short, it's all hard work. In order to feed themselves, the caveman had to desperately move bricks.
It was impossible to snatch something from the Yanchi tribe.
Because the Salt Pond Tribe is protected by the Corrupt.
Compared to cavemen, the Corruptor is more fearless and more powerful than the Caveman. Even if their corpses are cut into seven or eight pieces, as long as they can be put together, they will slowly come back to life.
Deterred by the Corruptors, cavemen can only work honestly and earn a few menial food.
After day after day, the cavemen finally fulfilled the demands of the Salt Pond tribe, reopened the passage from the mountains to the east, and obtained some belated food.
And at this moment, they were carrying the stones, and they met the pigfish brothers of the garlic tribe.
As soon as the Pigfish brothers saw them, they were very excited, and shouted that they would rush to attack for the sake of the tribe.
It was their hand that made the first move.
At that time, there were only two cavemen, and they were beaten by the Pig and Fish brothers and the hunters, and fled all the way back to the mountains. The Pigfish Brothers are still chasing after each other.
When the caveman reinforcements arrived, the scene began to turn.
In the end, the hero headhunter and four hunters were killed in battle, and only the hero escaped with his life.
Lu Yao repeatedly confirmed the truth of what the revenant soul said.
"The low-ranking dead cannot lie under the threat of the dying sea."
Isabel said it was credible.
After listening to these descriptions, Lu Yao pinched the bridge of his nose, and his eyelids jumped.
The genes of human death and expansion were also stirring in the tribal era.
If you don't die, you won't die.
Although many people know this, they still show a "I know but I want to try" attitude.
On the bright side, the initiative of the Pigfish Brothers exposed the hidden dangers of the caveman in advance.
The Salt Pond Tribe controlled this group of monsters in disguise, like a sword hanging over the head of the Garlic Tribe. Dealing with it early can be regarded as prevention before it happens.
Lu Yao was wary of the Yanchi tribe behind him.
This group of villains actually already has the ability to enslave monsters and drive monsters to work for themselves. Their menace raised another level in Lu Yao's heart.
Now that they have collided, let's simply start with this group of biggest threats.
Lu Yao gave Isabel the latest instructions: investigate the mountains and find out the settlements of the Yanchi tribe.
After receiving the order, Isabel began to search in the mountains.
……
In addition to the normal inhabitants of the Garlic Tribe, there are several ghost residents from the ghost town of Saniro. Of course, ordinary people don't know and can't see them.
Among them, the first of them is a ghost named Scott. From the point of view of work, he is a bit of the equivalent of the Garlic Tribe's resident grim reaper.
Here, they searched for wandering ghosts, guided them through counseling, and then voluntarily brought them all the way back to Saniro.
Scott arrives at the place where the headhunter died, and the body has been moved to the forest by the garlic tribe to be buried.
He called out to him: "Come out and see your fellow slumbering here." ”
Five ghosts slowly appeared on the ground.
The bodies of headhunters and others are translucent, which is completely different from normal pixel villains.
"Beyond the southern desert, there is a city of the dead called Saniro...... I also believe in the great god Yao, and the power of the gods has created the ...... there."
Without saying a word, Scott said, "I'd like to go to Saniro!" ”
The other four hunters were willing to go with them.
Unlike normal villains, ghosts move much faster. They ignore many geographical obstacles, so they go all the way in a straight line, crossing mountains and mountains across the desert.
Since the sandworms were killed by Isabel and did not dare to burrow out of the ground, the desert is currently safe.
After entering Saniro, the headhunters also gained the exclusive ability of ghosts.
……
【Hero Lv2】Headhunter
Attack 3: Defense 2, Knowledge 0, Mana 0, Luck 0, Morale 0
【Ability】
Tracing Lv1: Able to identify traces left by various people and animals.
Evade Lv1: Can avoid damage from some attacks. This probability is higher than that of one's own weak life.
……
The only regret for Lu Yao is that the headhunter and the fisherman, the pair of the first generation of the garlic tribe, have very average talents. To this day, they are still stuck at Lv2 level.
This is also the reason why Lu Yao did not pay attention to cultivating them.
In the final analysis, it is still the era of tribal civilization, which really can't withstand the consumption of population, and most of the time it is development and management. Coupled with the strategic nuclear weapon of Isabel, there is indeed no need for the Pigfish Brothers.
……
When the ghosts enter Saniro, the Garlic Tribe is holding a funeral ceremony for the hero, mourning and remembering what the Headhunter has done for the tribe.
"He is one of the two heroes born in the tribe who bravely fought demon believers, risking his life to save others."
"He is a believer in the approval of the gods, the embodiment of strength and courage, and a symbol of unyielding."
"He is our pride, our forerunner, and a testament to our existence."
The Prophet and the Shaman each published a praise for headhunting.
There was a sense of sadness throughout the garlic tribe, and sad expressions appeared on the heads of the little people.
Suddenly a light bulb lit up above the Prophet's head: "We are going to build a monument!" ”
"To commemorate these heroes who dedicated themselves to the tribe, it is also to warn future generations not to forget these glorious and tortuous histories!"
The rest of the tribe agreed.
"Monument!"
"Monument! Monument to the Horde! ”
"Record Heroes! Record the Tribe! ”
So the little people, under the guidance of the prophets and shamans, built a square stone tower out of stones, which looked like a large tombstone.
A message appears on the game screen.
[The garlic tribe invented the monument, and everyone's intelligence has been slightly improved.] 】
[Discover the rudiments of the available wonders: monuments.] 】
[Faith required to build a Wonder for the first time has been reduced.] 】
Lu Yao was stunned.
There is such a thing.
He clicked on the miracle column and turned to the [Wonder] at the end.
Sure enough, the [Wonders] consumption was reduced from 5,000 beliefs in the past to 4,500 points, which happened to be a nine-percent discount.
Lu Yao pondered for a moment and understood the way to go.
The simulator is designed to encourage players who are apprentice gods to build wonders early, enter the Temple of the Gods, and also enter the crawling area from the safe zone to start the next stage early.
However, Lu Yao has no plans for the time being.
His plan is to achieve the small goal of dominating the novice village first.
