Chapter 174: Stigmata

Lu Yao checked Yanjiu's latest [History] and found the reason.

……

At the age of 69, he completed his sixth pilgrimage.

At the age of 76, he witnessed the ascetic being hunted by man-eating crabs and turkeys, and realized the "heavy blow".

At the age of 77, he completed his seventh pilgrimage.

At the age of 78, he began to challenge otherworldly creatures.

At the age of 79, during his near-death experience, he evolved the [Martyr] into the [Stigmata].

……

Shiohisa was rejuvenated by ascetics as prey to otherworldly beings, thus renewing his cognition and purpose.

If you can't protect yourself, you can't make pilgrimages and spread the blessings of the gods.

So even though he was nearly eighty years old, Shiojiu made a decisive transformation and began to explore the possibility of a combat monk.

Hunter Rain treated the old man's wound and bandaged it, leaving him wrapped in sackcloth all over his body, like a thin mummy.

Ordinary villains are unable to survive from such injuries. Shiojiu is a rare transcendent human, and after being transformed into a hero, his health is directly restored, and his level has also come to LV16.

The only fly in the ointment is that the scars all over the body burned by the flames seem to be irreparable.

Lu Yao clicked on Yan Jiu.

In the painting, the old man is wrapped in bandages, wrestling with a huge shovel armor, and his arms are firmly grasping the two jaws of the monster.

Written below is a sentence.

- Human potential is not inferior to theirs.

In Shioku's abilities, in addition to [Evasion] and [Heavy Attack], [Martyr] was replaced by [Stigmata].

……

Stigmata: Martyrs have risen from pain and death and comprehended how to further spread the blessings of the gods, with a chance to ignite the flame of faith in transcendent beings.

……

In extreme pain and near death, the Martyr may evolve into Stigmata.

It was just to ignite the flame of belief in transcendent creatures, which Lu Yao was not sure of its effect.

He locked his perspective on top of Shiohisa's head.

After gaining a new life, the old man became more steady, and he advanced along the seashore of the Eastern Continent. There are piranha crabs on the beach, shovel shells and turkeys on land, but it is a more restrained public area of the three parties.

Hunting Rain followed him.

"Can you teach me? I also want to fight against the supernatural beings, if only I had your strength. ”

"Do you have an enemy?" Shiojiu asked.

"Hmm. There's a bad guy who, in the Elven Lake, steals other people's treasure chests everywhere, and is very hateful. I want to teach him a good lesson! ”

“……”

A question mark popped up on Shioku's head: "Kid, that's not how supernatural power is used. ”

"No, it's not. He steals everyone's stuff everywhere, but no one can do anything about him. Although everyone said that it was impossible to catch a strange thief. But if you don't want to try, then there will never be a change. ”

Hunter Rain insisted: "The bad guys who steal should be caught and locked up." ”

The old man was silent for a moment.

"Well said, there are things that someone has to do."

"Unfortunately, I can't teach you. Because I'm still groping in the dark. ”

Facing the young man, the ascetic said frankly: "If you want to find a way, then go to the [seminary] in Yaocheng, study in it first, and become a scholar." ”

"If you can comprehend [theology], then you don't need to be taught by someone to follow it, and you will gradually understand everything through pilgrimage."

Hunter Yu replied: "I took the apprenticeship exam for three years, but I didn't pass. ”

A big smile popped up above her head: "The scholars said that I was not suitable to be a scholar, that I could not sit still, that I would be sleepy when I read a book, and that I should continue to work as a hunter in the family profession." ”

“……”

A sweaty soybean expression appeared on Shiojiu's head.

"Do you like honey? My father was one of the few beekeepers who would collect honey everywhere, and I had been making honey, but the taste was still a little bit worse. ”

"I've brought honey wine, honey cakes, and beeswax, would you like to try it?"

The old man was completely silent and hurried away.

The hunting rain next to her doesn't feel boring, and she can talk to herself alone.

"I heard that ascetics don't drink alcohol and eat little, and it is said that you only eat one garlic a day, is this true?"

"Ahh Your garlic is gone! It must have been burned during the previous battle. Before the next battle, please remember to take off the garlic skewers, it's a pity that the food is ruined like this, and it's a sin to waste food......"

“……”

"But that's okay, I have a lot of garlic in my backpack!"

Hunter Rain skewered new garlic skewers for the old man, and Shijiu did not refuse and wore them around his neck.

"Also, I don't have any new cotton and linen in my backpack, so I may have to wait a long time, and if I pour wine on it, it won't be easy for the wound to rot."

"That's right. With extraordinary power like yours, won't the wound rot? ”

“……”

"Why do ascetics shave their hair and wear no clothes on their upper bodies?"

"Is it for convenience, or is it for honing yourself? Strange to say, if you don't wear a top, you will think that you are an ascetic, and if you don't wear pants and skirts, you will probably be considered a pervert. ”

"Pervert and ascetic, that is, the difference between a blouse and pants......"

“……”

The emoji on the top of Shiohisa's head is constantly changing, one moment angry, one moment sweating, one moment question mark, and one moment sighing.

Lu Yaoguang was watching on the simulator, and his scalp was numb.

Hunting rain went all the way to the broken thoughts, and the interest was very high.

Soon, though, Shioku was relieved.

A new battle begins.

The old man and the other spade armor met each other and began a gladiatorial fight.

Unlike the first time, this time they clicked and stopped. The two sides wrestled for a while, seeming to recognize each other, and then tacitly backed away from each other.

Then Shioku continued to walk forward, challenging the shovel armor one by one.

The lowest level of them is LV12, and the highest even reaches LV17.

After experiencing the battle of life and death, Yanjiu is more about sharpening himself, which is a bit of a friendship with martial arts.

Entering the battle state, Hunter Yu didn't dare to speak, and nervously hid to the side to watch. After the end, she ran out to check and treat the wound of the old man.

After the duel with the eighth Spade Armor, a new situation has emerged.

The LV12 shovel armor actually followed behind Shioku.

The old man patted the beetle's carapace: "Since you have lit the flame of faith and also believe in Lord Yaoshen, then join me in penance and challenge the limit." ”

Although the spade armor can't speak, he has been following Shiojiu.

With Shioku's permission, it even let the tired Hunter Rain sit on her back and carry her all the way.

Lu Yao understood it thoroughly.

Shioku, who has the [Stigmata], is spreading his faith by learning from transcendent beings, and at the same time, he is constantly challenging his own human limits.

The founder of the Ascetic Society is forging a path to the pixel man's transcendence.

……

Lu Yao pulled the perspective higher.

Coincidentally, more villains rushed to the Eastern Continent from all over the world.

Unlike hard-core practices like Shiohisa, most people take a more roundabout approach.

They brought in fruits and vegetables, including potatoes, soybeans, berries, grapes, etc., which they fed to the spade armor.

In return, the Staple Armor allow humans to operate in their territory. And thanks to the protection of the shovel armor, the villains can no longer be afraid of turkeys.

The purpose of the pixel villains is, of course, not just to have a good relationship.

Their goal is to be a juvenile spade armor.

Many people want to follow the previous experience of raising cross-country rabbits, musk ladybugs and split earthworms, and further introduce this powerful species, raise them from a young age, and use them for human use.

However, the whole thing is not going well.

The shovel armor's nurturing of its cubs is as casual as other transcendent creatures. As long as the larvae hatch out of the pupae, they don't care, and their survival depends on their abilities.

At this time, humans can lure and take away the larvae with food.

However, due to the aggressiveness and irritable personality of the spade armor, it is not a docile species, and it eats a lot of food. After being brought back to Yancheng and Yaocheng, these larvae are also difficult to truly domesticate, and can even hurt people and livestock if they are not careful.

So soon, both Yaocheng and Yancheng banned private breeding of spade armor.

Lu Yao felt normal.

The pixel villains are still in the initial stage of contact with the extraordinary, and they are still far from mature domestication, and they have to eat one bite at a time.

The god himself is still slowly experimenting and gradually releasing new species.

It is not only to increase the diversity of species in this fragmented world, but also to make a precursor to the civilization of forest elemental creatures.

At this moment, Philus suddenly reported a piece of information.

"Lord God, there is an unknown god statue in the Valley of Creation."

Lu Yao shifted his perspective.

A new player who hasn't appeared for a long time happened to come to the test field.

He was really lucky.
