Chapter 63: When Myojin Falls
For a long time, the natives of the island lived a carefree life.
This wide island is rich in food: berry bushes are all over the ground, coconut trees grow on the beach, and there are many shells, fish and crabs washed up on the seashore.
The little ones can fill their bellies just by relying on God.
They worship a friendly and gentle deity, Myojin.
Whenever the little people encounter difficulties that they cannot cope with, Myojin will send down blessings. He rains on a hot day, blows the waves with a strong wind, and dispels torrential rain with the sun.
Under the protection of the gods, the people of the Mingyue tribe are relaxed and comfortable to wrap up every day.
Myojin gifted a seed called wheat, and the islanders began to experiment with growing food. But they didn't particularly care, because there was no shortage of food on the island.
The appearance of wheat is an extra delicacy for the Mingyue tribe, but it has attracted the strong attention of a large group of seabirds. They are far more fond of wheat than tribal people, often flocking to eat the ears of wheat.
Soon after, the Bright Moon tribe was plagued by a flock of birds for a long time. Many of these birds have come from afar for this delicious bite of wheat.
For this reason, the Mingyue tribe also prayed and cried to the gods.
Myojin just blew the wind to disperse the birds, as if to comfort them.
I don't know when it started, but a strange little monster grew in the wheat field. The tribal prophet learned from the Divine Revelation that they were called Barnyard Monsters.
Barnyard monsters are born from weeds and are more slender than bugs. A single barnyard grass monster is no different from a normal weed, except that it can twist its body and suppress the surrounding grass to gain more sunlight and soil nutrients.
But once there are more of them, they will cling to each other.
In the dead of night, the leaves of the barnyard grass monster are intertwined. They weave a huge web in the ground, strangling other plants around them, taking over large areas of soil and overhead sunlight.
They are also good at camouflage.
The barnyard grass monster looks more and more like wheat. They hide in the wheat fields, strangle the wheat, and replace it for the care of the farmers.
It is becoming more and more difficult for the Mingyue tribe to distinguish which ones are barnyard grass monsters and which ones are wheat.
The angry tribal people used all kinds of methods, such as fire, flooding, and burial, to uproot this grass monster.
They did get rid of large swaths of barnyard monsters. But these little monsters have long been all over the island, in the cracks of the rocks, on the sand, in the water, in the trees...... Unless the entire island is burned to ashes, they will not die at all.
The islanders are helpless against this little monster.
At this time, the Mingyue tribe found out that the seeds of the barnyard grass monster were brought to the island by a flock of birds. These barnyard grass monsters don't have any natural predators here, so they continue to grow and quickly transform into the current family.
The gods gave the prophet a revelation: go to the sea and find new land.
But before he stepped into the ocean, the Mingyue tribe was blocked by the water blockade of the Donghai clan.
The Mingyue tribe would only build a rudimentary wooden raft, which was completely suppressed by the canoes of the Tokai clan in terms of speed and agility. The underwater sea monster was eyeing the enemy, so that the Mingyue tribe did not dare to go into the water, so they had to retreat to land.
The two bullied islanders once again prayed to the gods for relief from the disaster.
Myojin couldn't bear the suffering of the tribesmen, and once again a miracle fell.
He used the treasure to refine a special potion.
This potion transformed the rats on the island into "Mad Lemmings", and they launched a frenzied attack on the barnyard grass monsters, eating everything they could see.
Faced with the hunt of the mad lemmings, the barnyard grass monster was powerless. This time they were finally devastated, being eaten by the rats and turned into feces, never to come back to life.
The little people of the Mingyue tribe were extremely excited when they saw the victory of the rat group.
However, the good times were short-lived.
The barnyard grass monsters that dotted the island were cleared, but the mad lemmings did not stop and began to eat other plants. Whether it's wheat, weeds, or coconut trees, rats eat them.
The Bright Moon Tribe watched the [Barnyard Grass Monster] be replaced by the [Mad Lemming], and they still had nothing to do.
Rats are more difficult to deal with than barnyard monsters, they move quickly, burrow and dodge, and even swim and dive.
When the number is low, the mad lemmings will avoid people when they encounter them. Once the number increases, they are no longer afraid, and they swagger through the market, and even burrow into the tribal houses to grab food.
As the rat population continues to grow, so does the appetite of the mad lemming.
Finally, that day came.
The rat colony began to hunt the islanders on a large scale.
Faced with a life-and-death crisis, the Mingyue tribe also burst out with unprecedented courage and ruthlessness. They took wooden spears and stones and killed batch after batch of rats.
It's a pity that people will be scared, they will be tired, and if they die, they will lose one.
The rat colony is endless.
They are far more fertile than humans, and have been transformed by potions to be insane and tireless. Dead rats become food for other rats and become the basis for the birth of the next generation, and they are free from cannibalism.
The human beings were forced step by step by the rat swarm to the statue of the god Myojin on the mountain.
The gods are out of wrath.
Myojin sent down lightning and hurricanes, and the flames and winds caused by the lightning wiped out the rats that spread all over the mountains. However, these corpses will not be wasted in any way, and will become a meal for other crazy lemmings.
This tenacious creature relies on utter madness and super-fast reproduction to defy the power of the gods.
One day, the gods could no longer rain lightning.
Myojin is tired.
Countless crazed lemmings finally rushed up the mountain, completely submerging the last humans and idols.
Myojin, who has lost all his followers, has also ushered in the time of its fall.
……
After reading the history of the decline and fall of Mingyue Island, Lu Yao's first feeling was outrageous.
The Bright Moon Tribe is outrageous.
This player named Myojin is also outrageous.
The fall of Bright Moon Island shows the wrong way of a god player.
Overprotection of believers will not only consume many of the player's beliefs out of thin air, but also increase the dependence of believers on the gods.
Most of the villains in the tribal era did not have high intelligence, so it was not surprising that Lu Yao was lazy with them. When the garlic tribe hadn't been beaten before, they had also been lying flat one by one.
The core problem is that there is something wrong with the player's Myojin mind.
Lu Yao has now figured out a set of operational ideas: god players need to use faith to use miracles rationally, boost the process of civilization at critical moments, and keep a certain distance from believers in normal times.
This not only allows believers to learn to be self-reliant, but also gives players more room to operate.
Bright Moon Island has a good start. If Myojin can create some natural disasters in an appropriate amount and exert pressure, then the villains on the island will naturally feel the existential crisis.
They will learn to build stronger houses to shelter from the wind and rain.
They learn to farm or raise fish for a more stable source of food.
They would study shipbuilding, and with ship navigation, they would have a way of understanding the outside world.
These are all in the right direction.
However, Myojin did not have the patience to wait and chose the most wrong path.
He used the [Broken Potion Cauldron] to create a potion and create a mad lemming to deal with the barnyard grass monster, and was finally devoured by the mad lemming, causing the loss of people and land...... During the whole process, the Mingyue tribe had no effect at all, and the giant baby would only ask for it from the gods.
It's ironic that a god is defeated by a monster of his own making.
Lu Yao suddenly thought.
If the barnyard grass monster and the mad lemming enter the garlic tribe, can it be solved?
Isabel replied, "My lord, in the area where the garlic tribe is located, the farmer has learned how to deal with weeds. ”
"Insects often eat food in the fields, insects are hunted by birds, and rats are food for all kinds of animals in the forest...... It won't be as closed as it is here. It's very orderly. ”
Lu Yaoxin said yes.
The subjective initiative and reaction ability of the garlic tribe are not comparable to the villains living on Mingyue Island.
At the beginning of the game, he faced the threat of the forest tribe, and successively went back and forth with the Donghe tribe, the Yanchi tribe, the Donghai clan and even many monsters, and it can be said that he was walking on thin ice along the way.
Human muscles and toughness are all made from tough battles again and again.
