Chapter 542 Wumeizi
“Be quiet, I have something serious to do with you.” Seeing Linglong getting louder and louder, Mu You had no choice but to put her down.
“Ah? What’s the matter?” Linglong stopped immediately.
“Let’s synchronize the memory first.” Mu You shook his head, stretched out his hand, took Linglong back into his body, and released it again after a few seconds.
"I see..." After synchronizing her memory, Linglong naturally understood what Muyou wanted her to do.
"So, I'll leave the matter over there to you. I'll go back and say hello to Jiuyou. If you need anything, please contact him." Mu Youyou.
“OK!”
Linglong made an OK gesture with a smile: "Then I'll treat it as a trip at public expense, as long as you don't urge me to go home."
Mu You was speechless. How much you hate going home...
Mu You stopped controlling Linglong and let her go after telling her not to mess around.
Sent Linglong away, Mu You returned to the pet shop.
At this moment, the two clones have also gotten up and started their respective work.
Mu You paid attention to the situation of the next two clones in turn.
On the other hand, the herb gatherers have now rode a two-headed dragon to the legendary ‘Lohmadi Abyss’, which is the largest, most mysterious, and most dangerous sinkhole in the entire continent of the Star Spirit World.
If you compare the various dangerous places in the Astral Realm to dungeons, then the Great Abyss definitely belongs to the bottom-of-the-box type of dungeon.
In ordinary dangerous areas, an epic creature above level 20 is enough to serve as the boss at the end of the level. In the Great Abyss, it is not an exaggeration to say, "Epics are as numerous as dogs, and legends are everywhere."
It is said that so far, no living person born on the surface of the earth has been able to truly explore the bottom of the Great Abyss. In other words, none of the adventurers who dared to dive too deep into the Great Abyss have ever come back.
At this moment, the herb gatherers have just arrived at the Great Abyss. They are familiar with the environment near the surface and have not yet had time to go deep.
Mu You, the herb collector, is more at ease. Although he is acting alone, he has worked and lived in dark caves for a long time during the four thousand years in the Bitter Garden. He has long been accustomed to cliffs and abyssal terrain. For him, opening up wasteland is equivalent to entering his comfort zone.
Mu You looked at the watchman again.
At the watcher's side, a group of five people had arrived at the capital of the Fatimid Empire yesterday. They disguised themselves as a traveling wealthy businessman and his escort. After registering for the Secret Arts Church, all five of them successfully obtained membership qualifications.
There is actually no threshold for membership qualifications here. The main thing is to know at least one magic, prove that you have magic power, and then pay a "cost fee" for a life span of 50 years.
For a magician, a mere 50 years is nothing, but with this little money, you can only become an ordinary believer. You need to start from the bottom and receive basic training such as canon teachings, or it is more appropriately called "brainwashing".
Of course, if you can pay the membership fee of tens of thousands of years at a time, you can start from a relatively high status when you first join the association.
This is the case for the watchman. With his wealth, he played the role of the only wealthy businessman among the five people. As soon as he met the person in charge of the church, he spent ten thousand years in his life and was immediately treated respectfully by the other party. The benefactor made the donation, and on the first day he entered the meeting, he enjoyed all kinds of VIP treatment.
“I have to admit that the experience of playing with krypton gold is great, and I am superior to others in every aspect.” The watcher lamented.
“Seriously, how was the harvest?” Mu You asked.
Of course, the reason why the watchman spent so much money was not just to pretend to be a rich man, but mainly to get information. His current identity obviously has many more sources of information than others.
"This group of people is very smart. Those ordinary members of the lower class are just cannon fodder for crowdfunding. They will not be exposed to real black magic knowledge at all. The real black magic fraternity members did not show up at all. They are all preaching. .”
The watchman said helplessly: "Our sponsor's side is better. Yesterday, a man who called himself 'Priest' showed up. He looked like a formal member. He performed a black magic performance for us, and then gave us a lesson. This is a black magic teaching class, teaching the most basic 'Small Fireball Technique'."
“Oh? Are you teaching real things?” Mu You was slightly surprised.
"Yes, it is indeed the black magic version of the small fireball. The black magic that man demonstrated is also genuine." The person who gave the update nodded.
"You are not afraid of getting into trouble by just letting you learn black magic?" Mu You was a little surprised. Black magic has a failure rate, especially when you have just started learning and are not proficient, the failure rate of the release is very high, and once it fails, it will Falling out of control until he turns into a monster.
“That’s the point!”
The clock watcher said solemnly: "During yesterday's lecture, many people did make mistakes in releasing black magic and went into a state of control. However, they were all rescued by the priest in the end."
“Oh? How did you save him?” Mu You was stunned. At present, he knows that there are only three things that can reverse the out-of-control state. One is the sweet potion. This potion was invented by themselves and requires specific materials. The formula is in their own hands, making it almost impossible for outsiders to obtain it. The second is the secret crystal, but the secret crystal can only straighten its own natural magic power and cannot save others. The last is the forest core that can naturally absorb the pollution of black magic.
"The man was wearing a pair of black gloves and put his hands on the person who was out of control. The black magic riot quickly subsided. As for whether there was anything hidden in the gloves, I don't know. But I guess it might be Sen. The heart of the soul." The watchman spread his hands.
“Is it possible that these guys have also cooperated with the forest spirits?” Mu You frowned and thought.
He originally obtained the forest core because Vivian guaranteed that he would purify at least 10% of the pollution within a year, proving his ability to help the forest clean up pollution.
And if these people from the Black Magic Association really develop a substitute for the secret crystal, then they will indeed have the ability to purify the core of the forest spirit. If they use this to persuade a certain forest spirit to get the other party's core, it will be fine. Not too strange.
“Let’s continue the investigation.” Mu You said to the watchman. There is too little information currently available, so we can only give this order.
The three clones are all engaged in their own affairs, but Mu You has nothing to do. It is still daytime, and the martial law in the City of Enoch continues, so his character can only hang up for the time being.
Muyou simply logged off, logged into the forum, and browsed the recent hot news.
At the top of the forum list are the promotional posts released by several city owners. With the production of the first batch of idols, the battle for faith among the gods is beginning to begin.
Believers of each family are working hard to promote how powerful and useful their own divine system is. The combinations of various magical arts have also been discovered one by one by the wisdom of the masses, which is dazzling.
In the Department of Order, Mu You himself did not post any posts, but his Auroville players spontaneously promoted the God of Order, and their momentum was not inferior to that of players from other divine departments.
Mu You is not in a hurry in this regard. No matter how hyped up in these posts, it is nothing compared to the actual results.
His previous 1V5 giant battle was enough to illustrate the strength of the God of Order, which was much more convincing than posting a few advertisements online.
After ignoring these faith-fighting posts, Muyou quickly noticed another hot post on the homepage.
"Shock! The truth about the terrain at the exit of the Tower of Brave! 》
Mu You clicked in and took a look, and sure enough, the first sentence piqued his interest. "It took 3 days and 11 hours to finally complete a circle around the island. The end point is the starting point, which completely confirmed that our birthplace in the world of giants is an isolated island..."
This player who calls himself "Contemporary Magellan" said that when he first cleared the Tower of the Brave and entered the World of Giants, he suspected that this place was an isolated island, and he had been trying to circumnavigate the island to prove his suspicion.
Previously, due to the impact of the tsunami, players died frequently and were never able to go very far. It was not until a few days ago that the water storage device was shut down by Muyou, and the tsunami time was greatly extended, giving the opponent the opportunity to explore remotely.
Just this morning, after three and a half days of exploring along the edge of the coast, he finally returned to his original starting point.
There is also a hand-drawn map posted by this player below. Although it is relatively rough, it can be clearly seen that the terrain of this island is like a donut, with a circular lake sealed inside and surrounded by A ring-shaped land, and beyond that is the endless sea.
As for the outside ocean, many players have tried to explore the sea in the past few days, but all of them were swallowed by various ocean monsters before they could even swim a few hundred meters.
So this player finally came to the conclusion: they were trapped on an isolated island, with no way to go out to sea, and no way to explore outside.
“Ah? Then we are going to be trapped and die on the island?”
“If you’re trapped to death, just be trapped to death. At least it’s safe. We can’t get out, and the inexplicable creatures outside can’t threaten us.”
“But what’s the point of this? Do we have to be trapped in the novice village forever? I want to go out and explore more new maps…”
“It’s not easy to go out. Can’t we just follow a few sky cities and fly into the sky?”
…
The bottom of the post is full of similar discussions. Apparently players have already defaulted to the conclusion that the exit is an isolated island.
But Mu You knows that this is not really an isolated island. This place actually has an exit. The exit is at the bottom of the lake in the center. It is just guarded by a big octopus. Once a creature wants to leave through the exit on the bottom of the sea, that The big octopus will go berserk.
After reading the post, Mu You pondered for a moment, summoned the djinn, and inquired about the server exit situation.
He originally thought that the Djinn God, as one of the gods, must know the location of the server, but the Deng God's answer surprised him.
“Server exit? How could I possibly know this? This is top secret!”
The Djinn God shook his head and said: "The real world is too vast, as vast as the sea of smoke, and there are too many unexplored places. And the placement locations of several servers are only controlled by a few leader-level gods. In order to keep it confidential, it is said that they are all It is placed in a dangerous place in the world to prevent people from sneaking into the star spirit world through abnormal means and interfering with the normal operation of the star spirit world."
"so…"
Mu You nodded. In this case, it makes sense that there is an island outside the server.
It’s no wonder that the giant on the island can’t contact its companions. It’s not just them who are trapped and dead on the island, but also this giant.
Mu You didn't know how this giant came here in the first place. In short, the only exit at the bottom of the lake was occupied by a giant octopus. This giant did not dare to provoke him at all, so he could only be trapped here all year round, completely cut off from other god-devouring beasts. Contacted.
After learning the truth about the isolated island, Mu You immediately remembered the severed octopus foot that he had chopped off with the wind burial cannon last week.
The description of this thing clearly states that eating this creature with severed legs will leave a special smell, and the big octopus will build up a solid hatred for the creature with this smell, so maybe they can use the knife to kill people, and borrow the big octopus to kill people. The mouth of the octopus, get rid of this giant.
The question now is, how to make the giant voluntarily eat this severed foot?
Given the fear the giant showed towards the big octopus before, if you throw the octopus legs directly in front of it, it will definitely not touch it...
After pondering for a moment, Mu You knocked on the emperor in the forum.
“Huh? Is there something wrong?” the emperor replied quickly.
“When you conquered the Wetland Enchantress before, what props did you use to attract giants?” Mu You asked.
In dealing with the Wetland Enchantress before, the two of them were responsible for evading the giants. Mu You relied on condensing the giant skeletons to attract the giants frequently, and the emperor, on the other hand, used some means to securely hold the giants back. Hatred.
The relevant hint in the text at that time was only one sentence: "There was a sweet fragrance in the air", and then the giant was attracted. This fragrance was obviously created by the emperor.
“It is a spice made from a plant called ‘Wumeizi’. It has no practical use, but its smell is fatally attractive to the gods.”
"Oh? Is this a plant from the astral world? Or is it from the real world? Where can I get it?" Mu You recalled that even in Vivian's collection of potion plants, there was no mention of a plant with this name. .
The emperor was generous and told Mu You the truth directly without asking him about his purpose: "It has nothing to do with the place. This kind of flower is special. It is only likely to be born near the power stone. Once the power stone is transferred, this kind of flower will also Wither quickly.”
“The stone of authority?”
“Yes, so this flower is often used as a clue to find the authority stone. If traces of this flower are found somewhere, then there is likely to be a natural authority stone nearby.”
"Do you still remember my power stone? That power stone was hidden in my family's ancestral house for many years, so from time to time a Wumeizi would appear near my family's ancestral house. Whenever it appeared, it would be remembered by all generations. The ancestors picked it and made it into pollen to preserve it." The emperor explained.
“Do you still have this spice in stock?” Mu You asked hurriedly.
“There are some more, what?” The emperor then asked Mu You’s purpose of coming.
“I have a plan. Maybe we can work together to kill the nine-star giant on the island...” The other party was so frank, so Mu You naturally didn’t hide it, and detailed his plan with him.
"It's a good plan, you can give it a try." The emperor quickly agreed after hearing this.
“It’s just that in this way, the giant’s body may be eaten by the octopus, and we may not be able to get the spoils...”
“That’s not necessarily true. If the octopus diet included gods, the giant would have been swallowed by the octopus over the years. Maybe the octopus only eats vegetarian food..."
“Anyway, if you’re lucky enough to save the giant’s body in the end, you can take the divine bones and I’ll take the divine blood.” Mu You stated his needs in advance.
For ordinary players, divine bones are actually more precious than divine blood. After all, it only takes one drop of divine blood to open the divine skin, but many divine bones are needed to upgrade to divine skin.
But Mu You's ambitions are higher. What he pursues is sacred bones with authority, and he is not very interested in ordinary sacred bones.
On the contrary, it is the blood of God. After obtaining the inheritance of the Blood God, the blood of God will become something that he will need a lot in the future.
In fact, if they can successfully kill the giant, whether they can get the loot is secondary. The main reason is that Mu You remembered the teleportation black hole at the bottom of the lake, which is their only way to the outside world at present.
Originally, there was a big octopus guarding them, and they would never be able to get close. But this time, they might be able to take advantage of the fight between the big octopus and the giant to arrange for a group of people to go into the water, pass through the black hole, and continue to explore the outside world.
