Chapter 91: Invasion at Sea
After detailed exploration and inquiry, Lu Yao figured out Jimmy's situation.
It is a hero born from a snowman. Like Jimmy himself said, it does what no other snowman has ever done and succeeds in angering the dark god.
Although the reason is slightly different from Lu Yao's expectation, the snowman is still worth the price.
In terms of combat positioning, the snowman is biased towards a spell-casting mage, mastering the two active ranged skills of [Snowball] and [Blizzard].
However, in Lu Yao's eyes, its core value is still [Fire Stealing Hand].
This Jimmy-exclusive ability is highly leveled, and the effect is tied to speed and that ability level. The snowman was able to successfully even win the temple of the dark god, which shows the strength of his proficiency and ability.
Lu Yao allotted the [Ghost White Horse] to the snowman to increase his speed, and threw it into the [Black Abyss Layer] to steal it.
Target: Ghouls and Corpse Hunters.
To be on the safe side, Lu Yao kept the snowman away from the area where the tyrant, the demigod, was located, and started with the peripheral mobs first.
From this day on, there was a sneaky snowman on the first floor of the Black Abyss.
Lu Yao overlooked from the perspective of God.
Jimmy creeps through the abyss, looking for a target.
There is a ghoul in front of him who rises from the ground. It slowly straightened up and slowly walked on the ground, looking like it was moving its muscles.
Snowman Launch!
Jimmy followed behind it, his steps gradually syncing with the ghouls, as if he were the shadow of the other party. The ghoul was completely unaware that he was being targeted.
Then, the snowman raises the branch arm.
The red glove at the tip of the branch pulled from side to side, making a hole in the shadow behind the ghoul.
The snowman reached into his mouth and quickly withdrew his hand.
Looks like nothing.
Jimmy quietly retreated, looking for his next target.
Soon, the snowman has another ghoul in his sights.
However, this ghoul level is amazingly high, reaching LV55, which is even stronger than the few corpse hunters killed by the Blood Knight before.
Jimmy opened his hands again, sliced away from the shadow behind the ghoul, and reached inside.
An exclamation mark popped up on its head.
"Successful Fire Theft!"
The snowman slowly takes something out.
It was a white, blue-edged cloth that looked like a handkerchief.
……
[Earl Handkerchief LV2]: Damage +1, Defense +1.
The Belongings of the Withered Count.
……
Lu Yao's eyes were golden.
What a reward!
Case...... Then steal it from me!
At this point, Lu Yao made changes to the grand strategy of the abyss.
The previous strategy was to storm the dungeon and violently capture the loot.
Now it's up to everyone to work for the snowman to be able to unleash his abilities! The Yeti is the absolute core of the abyss, and everyone has to assist in its actions.
The more Lu Yao looked at the snowman, the more pleasing he felt.
Jimmy, you're doing well, you're doing well.
[Fire Stealing Hand] costs 500 mana each time it is used, so the snowman can only steal 3 times in a perfect state.
It doesn't always pay off, and failure is always the norm with this high-stakes ability.
Fortunately, with the [Ghost White Horse], the safety of the snowman is guaranteed, and it is difficult to be discovered.
In addition, mana recovery is naturally slow and takes a lot of time.
To let the snowman steal all over the abyss, it is necessary to work patiently for a long time, and you can't be in a hurry for the safety of the snowman.
After Lu Yao arranged Jimmy, he returned his attention to the outside of the abyss.
……
Isabel brought Lu Yao good news.
"My lord, after a period of fighting and comprehension, I have become more proficient in the use of [Forest Sword], and I have improved slightly."
Lu Yao clicked on the head of the Isabel Temple.
With the blessing of the [Forest Sword], her current panel has been improved again.
……
Apostle Lv26: Sword of the Forest: Isabel
Health: 325/325
Mana: 615/615
Damage: 44
Defense: 42
Speed: 19
……
The most important thing is that the [Forest Sword] has been increased to LV2, and the numerical value has increased across the board, and the increase has become damage +20, defense +20, and speed +4.
Lu Yao has always been optimistic about the growth of the holy sword.
However, he was a little worried about Isabel's life panel.
The Blood Knight has nearly 4000+ health bars, and the Deep Sea Lord also has 3000+ health. In comparison, Isabel is just too brittle.
She has good defense and speed, but if she encounters a special Faith attack, she can easily fall into danger.
Here's an example.
If she is miraculously hit by a god player, it would theoretically only take 9 [Lightning] shots to kill Isabel. The cost is even as low as 180 Faith.
Of course, the premise is that it is precisely targeted by the player. If Isabel keeps moving at a high speed, the miracle of the god player will be difficult to hit.
Lu Yao expressed his concern to Isabel.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but my weakness has bothered you."
Isabel knelt down on one knee: "Please rest assured, I will focus on improving my vitality in the future, and I will also try to comprehend the corresponding abilities." ”
After her explanation, Lu Yao understood.
It turned out that in the process of continuous upgrading, Isabel had been specializing in the ability of [Wisdom]. Therefore, her [Wisdom] and personal level are equal, reaching an astonishing level of 26.
Lu Yao was a little puzzled, can the apostle upgrade still add points freely?
He asked about the Blood Knight and the Snowman.
As a result, both of them said that the way of growing up is innate and cannot be determined by itself.
Only Isabel can do it.
There is something special about her.
But Isabel is her own apostle, connected by the fire of faith, and can be trusted.
Lu Yao didn't care.
The [Golden Field] has stopped working on his side, and he has stolen the [Black Abyss] with his backhand, and even if the god of the forest has left any means, it is useless to make a moth.
After adjusting the growth direction, as long as she is further upgraded, Isabel's life will also grow rapidly, and she will not always be as brittle as her current health bar.
At this time, there was a riot on the Yancheng side.
The pixel figures were chattering, with expressions of fear and unease floating above their heads.
"The killer fish in the sea are terrifying."
"Three galleys have already been sunk by murder fish, they have eaten dozens of people, and they will not be able to go to the deep sea to the west in the future, alas......"
"Damn, none of the sea monsters of the Tokai clan can fight them, and bows and arrows don't work, we need stronger weapons! We are too weak! ”
"Don't go to the west for now, safety is important."
The people in the city are all saying the same thing.
Lu Yao asked Isabel to learn more about the situation. Soon, she inquired about the whole incident.
"My lord, according to Mayor Yulian, an unidentified fish suddenly appeared in the sea not long ago."
"These fish have sharp horns and a fierce temperament. When they encounter a fisherman's galley, they will attack immediately, and they can gather in a very short time and become a very powerful force. ”
"They feed on humans when they hit a ship, and these fish attack not only humans, but also all creatures in the sea."
"Fishermen say that there are no natural predators of this fish in the ocean. They are mostly lurking in the deep sea, but are keenly aware of ships at sea and then launch swift attacks. ”
"The sea monsters of the Tokai clan used to fight with these fish, but they were killed after they were defeated."
"Because these fish have the nature of hunting humans, the fishermen of Yancheng call them killer fish."
"The number of killer fish is growing rapidly, and the deep sea areas of the western continent have become their territory. Fish stocks are now expanding to the east and north. ”
"At present, Yancheng has no way to kill the fish, and after discussing with Shangli, Yulian decided to temporarily close the sea first. They have caught a few killer fish at great cost and are working on a way to deal with them......"
Lu Yao carefully read Isabel's report.
He found that the pixel villains had grown.
In tribal times, the little people would surely pray in front of the temple for their gods. Not just ordinary people, but prophets too.
With the development and progress of civilization, the intelligence of the little people has improved, and their cognitive abilities have also increased day by day.
After experiencing many difficulties and turmoil, a new generation of heroes like Yulian began to lead the crowd. They have learned to use knowledge to solve problems, and their ability to be independent is far greater than that of their predecessors.
As a guardian, Lu Yao seemed to see a baby learning to crawl, and he was relieved.
Although the villains did not ask the gods, Lu Yao realized that this matter was not simple. There must be a reason behind the sudden appearance of such a powerful species in the sea.
He shifted his perspective and, as Isabel had said, found a small pool piled up by the sea.
There are two small white fish in the pond.
They resemble swordfish, with long sword bones on their heads and bodies made entirely of white bone. Two fish are violently striking the stone that is building the pool, trying to rush out of the pool.
Lu Yao double-clicked the mermaid.
……
【Bone Fish LV2】
Health: 33/33
Mana: 12/12
Damage: 4
Defense: 2
Speed: 5
【Diving】
Dive in water and move twice as fast.
【Bone Creature】
Organisms made up of skeletal bones are related to the number of bones and the level of the bones before they were born.
……
Sure enough, it's greasy.
Lu Yao rolled up his sleeves, and his gaze became sharp.
Let me see who's doing something underwater.
