Chapter 620 The Giant’s Headquarters
“Master, I just received news that there are giants near the soul-inducing lamp No. 173...” Blue Beard sent a private message to Mu You.
“Okay, I’ll be there soon…”
…
After one hour.
【With the help of savages and bone dragons, you killed the giant scout (9 stars)...】
“There is also a giant at No. 175 Soul Lamp next door, and a group of players are sneaking the giant towards you..."
"hold onto…"
…
【With the help of savages and bone dragons, you killed the giant scout (9 stars)...】
Since Mu You spread the news about the giant tracking, players near Sunset City have begun to consciously pay attention behind them. As expected, they found many traces of giants.
Fortunately, Bluebeard explained the situation through the city lord's order in advance, and also set up a bounty. As long as he helped hold the giant back, when the master killed the giant, he would get the bounty.
Therefore, the players did not panic when they saw the giant. Instead, they began to actively report their positions and at the same time prevented the giant from leaving.
So Mu You didn't rest for the next day. He was busy running around, leading wild men and bone dragons to hunt giants.
In fact, other city lords can also kill these giants as long as they bring enough manpower, but there will inevitably be casualties, and the most important thing is that other people can't stop the giants from using that kind of last word signal flare. Once that kind of signal flare is launched, it will kill them. Other giants are alert.
So in the end we had to wait for Mu You to take action.
【…You condensed the bones of giants and obtained 1 blood of god, 1 bone of god, and 6441 divine crystals...】
Looking at the prompts in the text, Mu You breathed out.
This is already the tenth giant killed today, which means that he has obtained ten copies of the bones and blood of God in this day.
Ordinary divine bones are useless to Mu You, so he directly gave them to Lin Xue Xiaoya and three clones, leaving only the divine blood.
In the past two months, Xiaoya and her three clones have also successively found several corpses of ordinary gods in the wild, and opened the divine skins one after another.
Xiaoya's divine skin is the goddess of the night. All the magical arts of the authority of the night are specially developed for the night. Believers of the night system are very weak during the day, but in the dark night, their vision and various magical arts will undergo qualitative changes, and they can An extremely terrifying fighting power erupted.
As for the three clones, due to the limitations of the clones, authority cannot be fused, so the three clones are fused with ordinary divine skins.
Including the clones, Mu You now has six divine skin owners around him.
Except for Mu You, everyone else is currently a 4-star believer, each of whom has fused two divine bones.
Of course, what they fused were ordinary divine bones without authority. Others were not as bold as Mu You and dared to use the authority divine bones as ordinary strengthened divine bones.
In fact, even ordinary divine bones are rare for players. Basically, they must be fused as soon as they see them.
There are also advantages to fusing ordinary divine bones, that is, there is no need to 'digest' the divine power. After fusing one bone, you can immediately fuse the next one.
In addition, Lin Xue, as the earliest recipient of the divine skin, has actually already met the other conditions for rising to 5 stars, but is only stuck on the level.
To upgrade to 5 stars, you need to reach level 25. Because Lin Xue is not a city lord, she is naturally one level less than other city lords. She is only at level 23 and a half now.
So Lin Xue has been teaming up with Xiaoya in the past few days, frantically looking for high-star creatures to gain experience.
The problems they encountered are also the dilemmas faced by most top players currently.
After passing the initial development stage, the top players today do not lack divinity, but begin to lack experience.
Except for a few city lords such as Mu You and Tianzi, everyone else is basically stuck at the 4-star stage due to the threshold of level 25, and has been unable to advance to 5-star.
Fortunately, Dawn City upgraded to LV7 last month, and the idol has a new 'replacement' function. All players can put divine crystals into the idol, and then exchange experience from the experience pool. Just 1 point of divinity. Replace 1000 points of ordinary experience.
Theoretically, as long as you are willing to consume divinity, you can instantly upgrade a person from level 1 to level 30.
Of course, this is just in theory. The experience gained after level 25 is an astronomical number at each level, easily tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. When converted to divinity, it also requires tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Now players have more money, but they cannot afford this level of consumption.
Even the major city lords, let alone ordinary people, would be in pain for a long time if they occasionally spent 10,000 divinity in exchange for 10 million experience points.
So although this function is enabled, not many people have actually used it yet.
In addition, after the Sky City reaches level 8, a new building called the ‘Soul-Suppressing Monument’ will be unlocked.
If a player is near this kind of stone monument, the experience required for upgrading will be halved, and the maximum will not exceed 100 million points. However, it can only take effect for players with 4 stars or above.
This kind of stone tablet is equivalent to locking the upper limit of experience for players. There is no need to invest unlimited experience in order to upgrade to level 30, which is of great benefit to upgrades after level 25.
This is one of the reasons why no one is in a hurry to use the replacement function at the moment: even if you want to invest in divinity, you have to at least wait until the soul-suppressing tablet is released.
Back to the subject, at this time, Mu You put all the ten drops of God's blood he had newly obtained into the blood niche.
【Transformation completed, you have obtained 8.8 drops of pure heart blood. Total amount of pure blood available: 9.5 drops. 】
Among the ten giants, two have eight stars and the others have nine stars. Each star can melt 0.1 drop of heart blood, which is exactly 8.8 drops. Plus the remaining 0.7 drops used before, the total is nine and a half drops.
Last time I advanced to the level of blood clan algebra, I used two drops. I have to experiment with how much I need to use this time.
Mu You first took out a drop of his heart blood and drank it.
The blood entrance turned into airflow and poured into his limbs and bones, as if **** of candles were burning everywhere in his body.
Mu You closed his eyes and silently felt the energy changes in his body.
Half a minute later, the energy gradually calmed down, Mu You opened his eyes, already knowing what was going on.
This drop of hard work provided him with about a quarter of his algebra progress, and he needed four drops to advance.
“2 drops for the 9th generation, 4 drops for the 8th generation. Shouldn’t it be doubled every time..."
Mu You looked strange. If this is the pattern, then it will take 512 drops of pure hard work to upgrade from the last 2 generations to the 1st generation...
Mu You quickly shook his head and said he would talk about the future later. After confirming the effect of his heart blood, he decisively dispensed 3 more drops of blood and swallowed them in one gulp.
【With the help of pure blood, your vampire generation has been successfully reduced by one generation, and you are now an 8th generation vampire. 】
【You have obtained blood law points*4. 】
【Your automatic life recovery speed is increased to: 4 points per second + 1.5% of maximum health. 】
“Oh? 4 blood law points?”
Last time I drank two drops and gave two blood rhythm points. This time I drank 4 drops and gave four. So, every time you take a drop of heart blood, you can get one blood rhythm point?
If this is the case, then no matter how much effort is required to advance, it will not be wasted.
At this time, for these four blood law points, Mu You did not hesitate to add one level to each of the ‘Super Sense’ and ‘Transformation’.
Needless to say about super-sense, Mu You has fully experienced the benefits of visual field suppression in these few battles of hunting giants.
In the foggy high-sky world, vision is really an extremely important attribute. Sometimes the difference in vision is only a hundred meters, which is the difference between life and death. As one of the few abilities that can improve vision, no matter how high the super sense is, it will not matter. Not an exaggeration.
As for transformation, the number of available forms is directly linked to the level. Only one Sparrow Man form is obviously not enough.
As for the remaining two blood rhythm points... Mu You browsed through the awakenable blood rhythms and suddenly had trouble choosing.
There are many practical blood laws, such as divine speed, mist, blood path, control, etc., but the effects of low-level blood laws are relatively weak.
Mu You was a little undecided on whether to learn two new blood laws or continue to upgrade his super sense, so he simply put it aside for now and will make a decision based on the situation when needed.
Just at this moment, Blue Beard sent another message.
“Great God, another giant has appeared, but it’s a little far away, under the soul-inducing lamp No. 314…”
Mu You opened the map and looked up the location of Soul Lantern No. 314.
This map is a player-made map of the surroundings of Sunset City. All nearby soul-inducing lanterns have been found and numbered according to the order of discovery for easy search.
No. 314 was thousands of kilometers away from his location, which was indeed quite far, but Mu You rushed there as soon as possible.
【You told the savage the direction you were going, and the savage picked you up and the bone dragon, put one behind your back, and wrapped the other around your neck, and then used all four legs to run quickly in the direction you pointed...】
The savage's physique and endurance are extremely strong, and a journey of thousands of kilometers only takes an hour or two at its feet.
Two hours later, Mu You and Yeren arrived at Soul Lantern No. 314.
Unfortunately, he arrived a little late, and the players responsible for seducing the giant had already been killed by the giant.
After a full two hours of delay, no matter how slow the giant is, he realizes that the player has discovered it and is just deliberately tempting it and waiting for it to fall into some kind of trap.
Sensing that there might be danger, the giant made a prompt decision and directly killed these players who had a lot of trouble, and then walked away.
“Master, the player said he saw the giant going east before he died...” Bluebeard truthfully conveyed the information provided by the player.
At this time, it was less than five minutes before the player died, and the giant couldn't run far even if it ran, so Mu You naturally chose to pursue it.
【Under your guidance, the savages continue to run wildly towards the east...】
After tracking it for more than ten minutes, a prompt finally popped up in the game.
【Through the vision of the Golden Crow Eye, you vaguely see the figure of a giant in the depths of the mist ahead, running forward...】
"Found it..." Mu You's eyes lit up.
This giant seems to have realized the danger and is running away frantically.
In this case, they no longer needed to hide. Mu You did not let the savages slow down, but killed them directly.
The Bone Dragon took the lead to fly over and entangle the giant. Mu You and the savages surrounded it from the left to the right, and started the siege again.
【With the help of savages and bone dragons, you killed the giant scout (9 stars)...】
【You gain the transformed form of the giant scout. 】
"The transformation of the giant..." Mu You touched his chin.
Having gained the form of a giant, in theory, he can now perfectly assume the appearance of this giant scout.
However, there seems to be no use pretending to be a giant, because the God-devouring beasts can sense each other's existence. For example, on the earth before, the giants could easily tell who was infected and who was not.
If he directly pretends to be a giant and approaches other giants, he will be found out in minutes.
Mu You shook his head and was about to condense the giant when another text popped up.
【You see a blue light bomb suddenly light up high in the sky. The light of this light bomb seems to have the power to penetrate the fog. You can see it clearly even from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters away...】
"Um?"
Mu You was stunned, a blue light bomb?
The last word flares carried by these giants should be red. Who sent the blue signal? What does it mean?
Combined with the military background of these giants, Mu You vaguely guessed that the light bomb might have been sent from the giants' headquarters, giving some kind of instructions to all the giants.
“Master, in other directions, several players who were being followed by giants sent news that a blue flare suddenly rose, and then all the giants gave up tracking and turned around and ran away..."
The news from Bluebeard came at the right time: "I estimate that this may be the giant's order to retreat!"
“Sure enough...” Mu You breathed out.
It seems that he has killed giants continuously before. Although he failed to get these giants to send out signals, so many people have been out of contact for a whole day, which has also made the giants' base camp realize that something is wrong and decisively recalled other giants.
“However, this is an opportunity to counter-track...”
Since these giants are about to retreat now, it stands to reason that as long as you follow any one of them, you can track the opponent's base camp!
“Where is the giant closest to me? In which direction did it run?” Mu You asked.
"Hmm... the nearest one should be near Soul Lantern No. 317, going to the southeast..." Bluebeard said.
Mu You glanced at the map, threw the giant's body into the order, and guided the savages to continue their attack.
After tracking for half an hour, sure enough, a giant figure appeared in front of him again.
This time, Mu You did not appear directly, but asked the savage to slow down so as not to alert the enemy. He relied on his vision to suppress the situation and quietly followed the giant from behind.
After following this for three or four hours, the text changed again.
…You followed the giant and climbed over one mountain after another. The terrain in front suddenly became flat, and a wide river meandered through. On the other side of the river, some giant footprints gradually appeared on the ground, as well as some man-made roads...]
"arrive?"
Mu You raised his eyebrows, controlled the character to take out the fog-breaking mirror, and looked forward.
【From the perspective of the fog-breaking mirror, you see a magnificent city rising from the ground on the plain ahead...】
[A large number of giants are scattered around the city. Hundreds of giants wearing armor and holding swords and axes are patrolling around the city... Along the periphery of the city, there are constant giant scouts wearing cloaks, returning from all directions and withdrawing. In the city...]
Mu You was a little frightened.
He originally thought that these giant scouts might come from a certain giant tribe or a giant military camp, but in the end, they turned out to be a real giant city?
