Chapter 64: The Almighty Stone and the Last Word
The Garlic Tribe is careful about the exploration of Bright Moon Island.
They knew that salt could restrain the mad lemmings, but they still did not enter the depths of the island. The little people circled the perimeter, little by little, perfecting the map of the outermost circle of the island.
The fishing company, which has always advocated active exploration, has also repeatedly admonished the galleys.
"Safety first."
"Don't rush in."
"Rats can gnaw at ships at any time, so everyone needs to be on guard."
……
Lu Yao decided to help the villains this time.
He asked Isabel to bring 4 brindle lynx from the Western Continent, which was also the first time that Lu Yao activated the forest elemental creatures.
Before the action, Lu Yao also consulted Isabel's opinion.
- Can the lynx get rid of the mad lemming?
"My lord, the brindle lynx can't eat so many rats. However, they are natural hunters and killers, and they are very easy to deal with mice. They are a great helper in the large-scale eradication of rat colonies on the island. ”
As a result, the striped lynx of the rodent extermination special forces was sent to Mingyue Island by a galley.
As soon as the four furry felines landed on the island, it was time to hunt.
Lu Yao overlooks the island.
There are four big yellow cats running around on the screen, one paw at a time, one at a mouth, and one at a bite against the mad lemmings. Everywhere the lynx went, there were rat carcasses everywhere.
There is no battle footage for this hunt.
Only then did Lu Yao determine that the mad lemming was indeed an ordinary animal, but it was only a species that had been transformed and mutated by potions. So I can't see the level display.
LV10's brindle lynx has [Stealth], [Bleed] and [Quick Strike] abilities. When they encounter the rat swarm here, it is a one-sided dimensionality reduction attack.
The mad lemmings are strong in front of the submissive Bright Moon tribe, but they have no power to resist when they encounter real monsters.
The rats were slaughtered all over the field and eventually fled into the sea and mountains.
The lynx chase continues.
However, their initial tasks have been completed. A large area has been cleared of the island, large enough for the little ones to get to the island safely.
Isabel walked all the way to the central area of the island. It's also very barren, with no vegetation in sight, only rocks and dirt.
In the central part of the region there is a striking mesa with some kind of dilapidated ruins. There is also a crooked stone monument next to the ruins.
Lu Yao clicked on the ruins.
The screen reads: [This is a ruin. 】
Lu Yao pondered that most of this place is the ruins of god statues.
He asked Isabel to explore the ruins and see if she could find something.
It wasn't long before Isabel made a discovery.
"My lord, I found the [Almighty Stone]."
Four glittering stones flew into the upper left corner of the screen.
At the same time, there is also a new item [Almighty Stone] in the game interface, and the display bar is automatically shrinked. Lu Yao clicked on it to see the details.
……
[All-round Stone]: The basic material for forging treasures, rare minerals.
If you use the Flame of Faith to heat, you will have a chance to forge a treasure. If you continue to refine with the Almighty Stone, there is a certain chance that you will be able to strengthen the treasure and improve the level. The higher the level of the treasure, the more difficult it is to strengthen the All-Purpose Stone.
……
Lu Yao came back to his senses now.
The player's Myojin's [Broken Potion Cauldron] appears to be made of [Almighty Stone].
It's no wonder that the cauldron feels a lot weaker than the other treasures, and it's a flawed product created by novices.
Slowly.
Here are four [Almighty Stones], where did they come from? Players have been hanging for so long, this is the equipment that the idol exploded?
Or is there an all-powerful stone in this place itself?
Lu Yao's eyes were fixed on the screen, his gaze focused on the surroundings of the temple.
He turned his fingers on piano mode.
- Dig around here and see if there are any other all-round stones.
- Mobilize others to dig together!
……
Lu Yao paid close attention to the island, waiting for the feedback from the villains.
Within minutes, Isabel and others dug a huge hole under the ruins of the temple.
The top of the pit was covered by huge rocks, and a glittering passage had been carved into the ground underneath. There were also some dried rat carcasses inside.
Isabel entered the pit alone and found a few more Mighty Stones, but she wasn't sure what was at the bottom.
Lu Yao took a sip of cold water and sorted out his thoughts.
The temple is surrounded by a mining area of the Almighty Stone, and Myojin sits on a treasure mountain that is the envy of many players.
So Myojin has been trying to make props secretly. He uses faith as fuel to create treasure embryos, and then smelt them little by little to obtain the finished treasure.
After calming down a little, Lu Yao brought into the perspective of the gods and further understood the reason for the other party's behavior.
The power of the god player comes from population and faith.
The population cannot be rapidly increased in a short period of time and usually requires long-term development.
Explosive growth requires either the annexation of other human groups or the emergence of a baby boom. However, the human base in the tribal era was originally small, and even if other tribes were annexed or there was a baby boom, the increase in numbers would be limited.
Comparatively speaking, the acquisition of faith is more intuitive.
Compared to the slow increase in faith brought about by population growth, the fixed income of props and treasures is visible to the naked eye.
Take Lu Yao himself as an example.
Counting the [Ghost White Horse], he is now holding 8 items and has 264 faith points in his account every day.
This is much faster than raising tribal villains to gain faith.
Since he controls the all-round stone mine, the center of gravity of the Myojin is naturally on mining. The sooner the finished props are manufactured, the more considerable the subsequent growth and accumulation of faith will be.
As for the believers, as long as they don't starve to death, they will be free-ranged first.
It's just that Myojin may not have expected that the Mingyue tribe couldn't even handle the [Barnyard Grass Monster]. This led to him having to do it himself, another miracle attack, and another potion from a crucible.
He created a mad lemming that restrained the barnyard grass monster, but it also caused a chain reaction.
One wrong step, the mad lemming that exterminated the barnyard grass monster turned into a large-scale disaster that was even more difficult to deal with, and the weak Mingyue tribe was unable to resist it. By the time Myojin reacted, it was already too late.
The snowball that pressed over Mingyue Island was getting bigger and bigger, and there was no special countermeasure to stop it.
Lu Yao said silently.
Go with peace of mind, I've got you avenged. It is incumbent upon us to recast the glory of the gods.
After a while, Lu Yao shifted his attention to the stone stele.
The stele doesn't have any hints.
But there are some vague marks on the ground under the stele, which seem to have some kind of pattern.
Lu Yao identified it and found that the cracks on the ground formed several crooked Chinese characters: I X you XX mouse!
He agreed in his heart.
Good scolding.
But.
Although rats do deserve to die.
You're not very lucky, though......
But dude, you're also a real player, shame on you, you can pull your crotch until you are by a bunch of rats and turned over to the pin.
……
Lu Yao changed his mood and began to tinker with the [Almighty Stone].
An open-world game cannot do without the link of strengthening and manufacturing, just as the West cannot do without Jerusalem.
