Chapter 481 The Thirteenth Sky City
【You raise the fog-breaking mirror and look towards the area 50-60 degrees due south. 】
[What you can see is a huge water storage device similar to an irrigation tank, floating on the sea about 3,000 meters away. A huge U-shaped pipe is connected to the end of the device. The **** has obviously been left unattended for a long time. At this time, the mouth of the pipe is continuously gushing clean water and pouring it into the water tank below. The water level displayed on the water tank is continuously rising, and it is very close to the warning line...]
The description in this text is not detailed enough, but Mu You still understood the meaning at a glance.
Obviously, the area they are in should be a plantation once opened by a giant, and the crops may be relatively delicate, so it is equipped with a water storage tank-type timed watering device.
However, the owner of this plantation was obviously killed tens of thousands of years ago. After so many years, the plantation has long been abandoned, and it has become a world of wormwood and wild animals. However, the giant did not turn off the water inlet switch before he died. As a result, the water storage tank has been continuously storing water, and it is regularly drained and watered every hour to wash the land behind. This is the source of the tsunami.
When he came back to his senses, Mu You was also funny.
The timed tsunami that has caused countless players to die for a long time is actually because a giant forgot to turn off the faucet. The truth is passed back, and I don’t know how everyone will feel...
Mu You shook his head. Now that he has seen the source of the tsunami clearly, it is much easier to deal with it. No wonder several surveyors would go directly into the water at that time. Now they just need to swim over and turn off the 'faucet'.
Mu You looked at the time, and there were less than 20 minutes left before the next tsunami.
With the current state of the character, he will almost certainly die in the next tsunami.
At this time, it is useless to go offline. Many people have tried it. In the real world, "offline escape" is useless. After the character goes offline, it will not enter the collapsed state like the astral world, but will remain offline. The previous state remains static until it dies or comes online again.
So if you want to suspend exploration in the real world, you must first move the character to a safe place before going offline. However, Mu You obviously does not have this condition right now.
Mu You estimated the distance, three kilometers, and in the water, at the current speed of his character, it must be too late to continue to detour along the shore.
As for the reminder left by the Fool's ancestor, Mu You didn't take it too seriously.
Anyway, if you don’t go into the water, you will die later. It’s better to give it a try. Maybe you can shut down the device once and for all before the next tsunami.
Besides, so many years have passed, even if there is really something under the water, it probably has left long ago.
【As time goes by, you made a simple boat with a waterproof sliding shell, found two pieces of fish scales as a slurry, entered the water from the shore, and started paddling in the direction you detected...】
【Soon, you sailed into the deep water area, you can no longer see the land when you look back, the surroundings become quiet, and when you look up, you are surrounded by white sea water and fog...】
It is very easy to get lost when navigating in this kind of foggy weather. Fortunately, the fog-breaking mirror I just obtained can be used as a compass, and Mu You can take a photo after walking a few steps. While confirming the direction, it can also ensure that no other creatures sneak attack Anyway, the search was done during the backtracking period, so it wouldn't waste any of his time.
I rowed all the way for about ten minutes, and the sea was always calm without encountering any obstacles. However, it is only limited to the surface of the water, and there is no way to do it under the water surface. The fog-breaking mirror can only break the fog, but not the water.
A few minutes later, just as Mu You was about to swim close to the target location, a sudden change occurred!
【The calm sea suddenly turned upside down, and a layer of ink-like substance gushed out from under the water, covering you and the boat. 】
【You suddenly feel that the world is completely black, and a layer of sticky substance is wrapped around your body surface, making your movement blocked and breathing difficult. 】
【You struggle desperately instinctively, but you can't break free at all. Whenever you fiddle with some sticky stuff, new sticky stuff will immediately fill in, like a piece of flowing jelly, wrapping you tightly. You quickly realize that without external help, it will be difficult for you to break free...]
What the hell? Ink?
Mu You was stunned, and suddenly remembered the sea snail that was covered in ink.
At that time, Mu You was still wondering, it's just a little ink, is it so hard to break free? Unexpectedly, it would be his turn to experience it so soon.
After experiencing it personally, Mu You also had to admit that this thing is indeed a bit perverted, not only can it stick to people, but it can also cover people's sight. No wonder the surveyor's message just now mentioned that when encountering that thing, "the world instantly became one All black', this is not really dark, but everyone's sight is blocked by ink!
Moreover, Mu You still had the halo of the song of peace on his head at this time, but it was not triggered, which meant that the ink was not a magic spell, but a pure physical attack method.
Ink...Could it be an octopus?
Before he had time to think, Mu You hurriedly pressed his pocket watch.
【Time flies, you go back to ten seconds ago. 】
【Aware of the danger waiting ahead, you hurriedly stopped rowing and fled to the rear. 】
【Unfortunately, you have obviously been targeted by the presence in the water. 】
【After a few seconds, a large piece of ink rises from under your feet again, sweeping toward you from both sides. 】
【You have already had the experience of being bound once, and at this time, you instinctively jumped out, wanting to escape from the side. However, you underestimated the speed of the ink, the ink wrapped around you at a faster speed, and covered you again, but because you avoided it in time, the ink only covered your mouth and nose, leaving you A pair of eyes appeared. 】
【In the next few seconds, before the ink quickly spread and completely covered your head, you finally saw something floating on the sea ahead with your exposed eyes. 】
【That is a huge octopus foot, the surface is covered with suckers, and in the center of each sucker, there is an eyeball, which rotates. 】
【When you saw the octopus feet, the eyes on the octopus feet also looked at you. At this moment, you feel an indescribable barbaric atmosphere, which makes your mind tremble, and all the cells in your body are restless. 】
[But immediately after, this uncomfortable feeling suddenly disappeared again. You opened your eyes and looked again, and found yourself in a peaceful grassland, surrounded by children's immature laughter, and piled on the ground. In exchange for treasure and gold, there are countless sheep lining up in front of you and jumping into the fire pit, turning into golden and crisp roasted whole sheep, and delivering them to your mouth...]
【The halo of the Song of Peace above your head quietly shatters! 】
【You wake up instantly, and all the visions in front of you disappear. You realize that you have jumped into the water at some point, and you are still falling rapidly, getting farther and farther away from the water surface. Something is entangled in you, and it is useless to struggle desperately. Soon, you will die of suffocation. 】
【You are dead! 】
【Your soul was drawn back by the soul lamp, and returned to the green lamp. 】
【You were resurrected under the soul lamp, cracks appeared on the resurrection stone in your hand...】
Sure enough, he died without any twists and turns, and Mu You didn't try to go back and struggle. When he encountered this thing just now, he didn't intend to come back alive.
"Octopus... wild breath..."
Mu You looked at the text prompt above in a strange way.
If it was just an octopus, he didn't think too much about it, but then he reminded the opponent that he has the ability to pull people into illusions. In addition, the game characters also felt the wildness from the octopus.
The combination of these three points made Mu You immediately think of the Octopus King!
Octopus King, whose real name is Nightmare Octopus, is good at pulling people into dreams. Mu You once went to the Octopus King's dream in person, and when he saw the Octopus King for the first time, he also had a feeling of facing the wilderness. The strangeness of ancient beasts...
Could it be that the Octopus King was once a mythical beast in the real world? The octopus just now is its relative?
Mu You wasn't sure for a moment.
In short, the trouble seems to be big now. The octopus is under water, and it is estimated that anyone who tries to get close to the irrigation device will be eaten by it.
In this way, the two breakthroughs outside the No. 2 server are guarded by giants on land and octopuses in the sea. Human beings are completely trapped in this area...
The first thing to do after returning to the city was to go to the sea below to summon the Octopus King, and inquired carefully about the other party's life experience.
Unfortunately, the Octopus King also seemed to be at a loss, scratching his head repeatedly at Mu You's question, and only said that he had been in the sea of the Astral Realm as long as he could remember, and he didn't remember anything else.
"so…"
Mu You touched his chin. Although the octopus king has no memory, he feels more and more that the octopus king may really be a creature from the giant world, but the gods should have undergone some transformations on it, removing its divinity, and transforming it into a creature from the astral world. Then I bet it in, as a 'world egg' or something like that...
Mu You quickly came to his senses, regardless of whether the Octopus King was a real creature or not, he would not be able to go to the giant world for the next week, so he simply let go of this matter.
【You have come to the statue. 】
【You have completed today's priesthood: Repair a chaotic world order (1/1), and automatically get 50 divinity points. Current divinity remaining: 951 points. 】
After four or five hours of playing the game, it was already one o'clock in the morning the next day. The crypt that was repaired in the game just now was counted as today's priesthood task.
Although the land reclamation time was not too long, the harvest was good. In addition to various scattered materials, a total of 105 divinity points were obtained, as well as a hidden relic with full practicality.
In addition, before entering the tower, Mu You paid special attention to the experience. Looking at it now, the experience has increased by 11000+ compared to before entering the tower!
This shows that killing monsters in the giant world is indeed gained experience, but there is no reminder there.
Estimated according to the amount of experience, the efficiency should be the same as killing alien beasts on the earth, that is, 1 point of real life = 1 point of experience, and the obtained experience is likely to be real experience!
Real experience can help break through the bottleneck below level 20. For people above level 20, it seems that it has no effect, but it is not.
For these city lords, real experience will have a greater use in the future: after level 30 in the future, they can use the accumulated real experience to exchange for normal experience at a ratio of 1:1000 from the idol experience pool!
As for what is the experience pool? Similar to the divinity pool, it is actually the experience stored in the idol by the believers.
This is one of the functions of the idol: when believers reach the level bottleneck, they can break through the bottleneck by enshrining a large amount of experience in exchange for real experience, and the experience they have deposited will be stored intact by the idol for use by their own gods .
Therefore, in the future, when he reaches level 30 or above and becomes a god, his upgrade speed will not stagnate, but because of unlocking the experience pool, the level will usher in a big explosion, and it is possible to rush to level 35 in one go!
This is why the number of believers is so important to the gods.
After ten stars, the demand for experience and divinity will become astronomical, especially for divinity, casting artifacts, creating magic, continuing to upgrade stars, etc., all of which require massive divinity.
As for gods without believers, the experience pool and divinity pool are both empty, and they can only be collected slowly by themselves. They may not be able to increase to one star for tens of thousands of years. How can their development speed be compared to those of believers? Gods everywhere?
But if you want to develop believers, you must first cast a **** image.
Like Lin Xue’s Grim Reaper, although he got the **** skin and artifact early, but because there is no **** statue, let alone a believer, he has not even activated the magic system, let alone receiving daily rewards for fulfilling the priesthood. If she had possessed divine arts a few days ago, it would have been easier to fight that giant.
What Mu You is more concerned about now is that when he takes Dawn City to fly to the sky in a month, he will also take the **** statue to the sky with him. After that, the growth of Dawn City's believers will stagnate.
There is no solution to this situation. The only way is to create another statue of God and stay on the earth to continue to develop believers.
Thinking of this, Mu You took off the oil lamp and rubbed his palms on the surface of the oil lamp. This is a ceremony to summon the lamp god.
The phantom of the troubadour quickly emerged from the magic lamp, yawned, and looked at Mu You with a troubled expression: "What's wrong?"
"Do you know how to cast idols?" Mu You asked for advice.
The astral world is a world specially created by the gods to spread their beliefs. As the most important thing in the spread of beliefs, if one can create one, the second and third statues will definitely be able to be built. Otherwise, for those who are popular For a large god, with billions of believers at every turn, how can only one statue be enough?
"Idol... Then I have to go to the goblins." The troubadour heard the words.
"Fairy family? You mean... goblins and fairies?" Mu You was taken aback.
"Yes, although the **** statues will not be destroyed by the catastrophe era, during the era switching process, many **** statues are still easy to be damaged and lost due to no one keeping them. Artisans who carve and repair statues of gods.
Of course, in order to avoid the unrestrained expansion of the gods, there are also restrictions on finding them to cast statues: in each era, they can cast the first statue of each **** for free, but after the second statue, they will have to pay a price. The more you make, the higher the asking price. ’ explained the troubadour.
"I see…"
After hearing this, Mu You was overjoyed that he could indeed cast a **** statue, and the first one was free of charge!
Then it is said that Lin Xue can go directly to the goblins to cast a statue of the **** of death, and then go to the players to recruit a group of believers, and then they can establish their own beliefs!
"Fairies..."
Thinking of fairies and fairies, Mu You immediately took out the fairy horn in the game.
In the past few days, he has been merging the **** bone in the star spirit world. The horn has already been refreshed, and Mu You blew it directly.
【Fairy Fairy Aurea Blesser appeared in front of you, glanced at you, but shook her head at you, indicating that there are no tasks for you this week. 】
"No mission?"
Mu You was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that the fairies and fairies seemed to be busy helping the players pass the level in the Tower of the Brave recently, and it was normal that they had no time to talk to him.
Fortunately, he didn't come to ask for a task this time.
【Seeing that the goblin fairy is about to disappear, you hurriedly stopped her. The goblin fairy looked back at you suspiciously. 】
【Are you asking what price the goblin fairy needs to pay for casting the idol? 】
【The goblin fairy was a little surprised when she heard the words. She glanced at you, but shook her head regretfully at you: "Unfortunately, we have been unable to cast **** statues."】
【"Why?" You ask. 】
["Because the tools for casting **** statues are all in my hometown 'Bitter Garden', but my hometown and many of my compatriots did not appear in this era. All over the world, I alone cannot cast **** statues." The goblin fairy looked at you apologetically, and then her eyes turned to anticipation. 】
【"However, if you can help us find our hometown and the whereabouts of my fellow clansmen, I am willing to cast a new statue for the God of Order for free!"】
Accompanied by this text, a mission prompt pops up suddenly.
【Congratulations, you have triggered a special mission: Find the Lost Garden of Bitterness. 】
【Task content: Help the fairies find the bitter garden of the legendary 'Lost Sky City' and bring it back to the astral world. 】
【Task Reward: A statue of the God of Order. 】
"The Lost...Sky City?"
Mu You looked at the task text in surprise, and the first thing he noticed was the word 'Sky City'.
The hometown of fairies is actually a city in the sky?
