The snow monster wailed, its eyes quickly became dull, and fell to the ground with a thud, making no sound.
The God of Death, on the other hand, grabbed the soul of the snow monster, regardless of the soul's struggle, crumpled it into a ball, stuffed it directly into his mouth, swallowed it, then let out a satisfied laugh and disappeared into the scythe.
At the same time, Mu You felt that the power-absorbing magic circle under his feet stopped operating immediately, and a reminder sounded in his mind: [You assisted in killing the level 19 snow monster, and your experience value is +14. 】
As a level 19 snow monster, he got 14 experience points, and Lin Xue should have got the remaining 5 points. In other words, the death support spell is rewarded based on the energy provided, and his crystallized magic reserve is much higher than Lin Xue. , so we got the lion’s share.
At this time, the part of Lin Xue's soul that had been pulled away from the girl in the distance emerged from her head again, as if being pulled by an invisible thread, flew back and sank into Lin Xue's body.
At the same time, losing the supply of soul and energy, the girl in the distance quickly aged, and soon turned back into a gray-haired old man, and her figure became rickety.
"grandmother……"
Lin Xue's soul returned, and after regaining consciousness, she hurriedly ran towards the old man.
Mu You also picked up the ice coffin on the ground and walked over.
At this time, the old man was still standing there with eyes blank, and the sickle in his hand had been put aside feebly.
Obviously, this is not a real resurrection spell, but the soul points injected through the death scythe, which temporarily restores the ability of the old man's body to move.
Recalling that the old man was able to show up to help in such a timely manner just now, it seems that the old man may have expected an ambush on the other side of the door before he was alive. The reason why he asked Lin Xue to bury her here was probably not simply because he wanted to return to his roots. , but wants to use the last value of the body to help them solve the hidden dangers behind the door, so that they can control the door without future troubles.
"Grandma, thank you for your hard work, please rest..."
Lin Xue closed the old man's eyes and used a sickle to take away the few remaining soul points in the old man's body.
The old man's body suddenly lost all support and fell straight down. Lin Xue caught it and carefully placed it back in the ice coffin.
"How many points were consumed?" Mu You asked. The seemingly one-sided battle just now was extremely costly. At first, the old man could easily catch the snow monster's full swing with one sword, but after the battle, he could barely stand. It was obvious that the soul absorbed by the old man from the scythe was consumed in large quantities, which resulted in such a huge attack. gap.
"There were 221 soul points stored in the sickle at the beginning, but they were all absorbed by grandma. After the battle, 51 soul points were recovered. In other words, 170 soul points were consumed during the battle..."
"In addition, the god of death swallowed the soul of the snow monster just now, replenishing 345 soul points. Now there are 396 soul points left in the scythe." Lin Xue listed all the data clearly.
170 points…
Mu You breathed out. In just five minutes, the battle had consumed 170 points. This consumption rate was still terrifying.
Of course, in the end, I killed the snow monster and earned back more than twice the soul points. In fact, I not only did not lose money in soul points, but also made a huge profit.
However, this battle consumes not only soul points, but also the natural magic power and lifespan of both of them.
Not to mention the magic power, it can be absorbed back quickly, it doesn't matter.
The key is longevity.
Mu You glanced at the reminder in his mind. He had been sucked away by the God of Death for a total of ten years in the entire process. Lin Xue and Lin Xue were standing in the circle at the same time, and the consumption should be about the same.
In other words, it took the two of them a total of 20 years of life to kill this snow monster...
Obviously, this ability to resurrect corpses can be used as a trump card at critical moments, but it cannot be used as a normal means of combat. Their current life span cannot withstand such a torment.
"What are you going to do?" Mu You looked at Lin Xue.
With this fighting method of resurrecting the dead, Grandma Lin Xue’s purpose of asking her to bring the body to the spiritual world is questionable. I'm afraid the burial thing was just a rhetoric. The real purpose might be to let Lin Xue take her body with her to give her granddaughter a way to save her life.
"I don't know either……"
Lin Xue shook her head. As smart as she was, of course she immediately realized her grandma's true last wish, which was to continue to be active in another world in another form after death and become a force to protect her.
But this way of using the dead still makes Lin Xue, who grew up accepting the culture of "laying one's body in the grave", feel a little uncomfortable. She was a little confused about how to deal with it specifically.
"How about finding a safe place to preserve your grandma's body first?" Mu You suggested at this time.
"Is there such a place?" Lin Xue was stunned.
"I know a place where the body can be kept intact."
What Mu was talking about was naturally the Tomb of the Vampire. The vampire's remains had been preserved in that secret chamber for thousands of years, and even maintained their vitality. Although there was help from gargoyles, it was undeniable that that place was very important for preserving the remains. , was the best place he could think of.
Mu You briefly described the characteristics of the Vampire's Tomb to her. The place was guarded by a large number of monsters above level 25 all year round, so there was absolutely no guarantee of safety.
Lin Xue nodded after hearing this: "Since there is such a place, let's place grandma there."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Mu You nodded. There is a teleportation array arranged in the Tomb of the Vampire. As long as he puts down a teleportation array nearby, he can transfer there instantly.
Mu You opened a new backpack, stored the ice coffin in it, and then looked at Lin Xue: "Where are you? Do you want to go together?"
Lin Xue shook his head: "Forget it, someone needs to be watching here, so I'll just kill monsters nearby."
Mu You thought for a while and agreed: "In this case, let War Eagle follow you."
He summoned the war eagle from the pet shop and let it hover in the sky for a week, observing the surrounding environment.
It turned out that the level of the monsters in this snow field was not very high. Most of them were below level ten. With War Eagle's help, Lin Xue's leveling would be much easier. By the way, Mu You can also grasp the situation here at any time through the perspective of the war eagle. If there is another change, he can teleport back at any time for support.
Having made up their minds, the two started taking action separately.
Lin Xue took War Eagle to the depths of the snowfield to find the nearest wild monster. The biggest advantage of leveling up through the gate in the Star Spirit Realm is that she will not be restricted by physical strength. As long as there are enough suitable monsters for her to level up, her level can rise quickly, especially in the early stage.
Mu You took out his phone and tried it first.
As expected, all mobile phones have no signal at all, and the Fool Game icon cannot even be clicked.
Mu You had no choice but to go through the door first, return to the pet shop, enter the game, and take out some things from the game characters.
Murloc mask, jack-o'-lantern, breast goggles, vampire cloak, mud boots...
Mu You almost stripped all the props from the game character. Anyway, he won't be online for the next day and will wait until he comes back.
Mu You then took out a 'Dark Teleportation' secret card, fused it into the crystal, and found a hidden location at the bottom of the reef over there in the game to place a teleportation array.
In addition, there was the lamppost of the 'Revenge Mission'. Because this thing contained a soul, it could not be directly extracted from reality. Mu You had to hide it next to the teleportation array and wait to retrieve it later.
After exiting the game, Mu You moved all the drinks and other items he wanted to bring on this trip to the opposite side of the door and stored them in a new backpack. In addition, Gargoyle, Little Spider and Canary were also put into the backpack.
He will leave via the teleportation array next, and there must be no other living things on him.
Then Mu You set up a dark teleportation array in the snow near the door, found some boulders and trees, and slightly covered the door and the teleportation array.
It does not require complete concealment, as long as it cannot be seen at a glance from a distance.
These tasks took him about half an hour, and the time came to 10:40 pm.
Mu You said goodbye to Xiaoya, and then stepped into the teleportation array.
After being swallowed by the huge mouth of the monster on the teleportation array, Mu You was spit out from another mouth after a period of spinning.
[You passed the dark teleportation array, your lifespan was -1, and you came from the snowy plains of the north to the tomb in the Misty Mountain. 】
This is the first time Mu You has personally experienced the transmission process of the dark teleportation array.
To be honest, the experience was really not that great. It felt like I had experienced severe motion sickness. It took me four or five seconds to get used to it before I recovered after landing.
Looking up, he found that he had arrived in a tomb filled with dark green light, and there was a sudden chill and moisture around him.
Sure enough, as described in the game article, the environment in this hall is quite cold and damp.
Fortunately, he is now wearing vampire skin, so he will not be affected by the pressure of the tomb.
After passing through the cursed spring in the center of the hall, Mu You entered the corridor.
A red-skinned tomb-guard kid jumped out with a scream. He was stunned when he saw Mu You, and hurriedly stepped aside, lowering his head as if to surrender.
After a while, some of the monsters here have indeed been resurrected.
At this time, Mu You already had the wand in his hand. If the monster here really wanted to attack, he would immediately retreat and release the shadow ghost.
Fortunately, no, it seems that the identity of the vampire count is still useful here. As long as the vampire skin is loaded, these monsters will not actively attack him.
So Mu You then followed the corridor while being watched by monsters along the way. After climbing several thousand meters, he finally came to the secret room at the top of the tomb.
This place is close to the top of the misty mountain top, the temperature has dropped sharply, and the biting cold feeling is much stronger than the northern snowfield just now.
Mu You pushed the door open and walked into the secret room, and immediately saw the empty coffin in the center of the secret room.
In the omniscient crystal, the properties of the coffin were immediately revealed: "A coffin made of thousands of years of ice. After the coffin is sealed, it can ensure that the remains stored in it will not decay for a long time. The effect is better when placed in a cold location. .”
The ice coffin is facing the opening of the fireplace over there, and the cold wind blowing from the top of the mountain can just cover the coffin. It seems that this room has been specially designed, and all the arrangements are to better preserve the remains.
He took out Grandma Lin Xue's body, moved it into the coffin, and closed the lid.
After confirming that the seal was completed, Mu You returned to the main hall below, took out the fish-man mask and put it on, then stood on the formation and activated the teleportation again.
The next second, Mu You appeared in a sea of water, and the water pressure of the deep sea hit from all directions.
Fortunately, I put on the fish-man mask in advance, and after adjusting my breathing, I quickly adapted to the water pressure.
Mu You picked up the lamppost on the side, without having time to take a closer look, stuffed it into his backpack, found a few stones to cover the teleportation array, and then hurriedly swam out to the sea.
Above the sea is a group of rocks on the wild coast.
Mu You climbed up the reef, and the teleportation array was built near the location where the fishing nets were arranged.
After walking around on the nearby reef, Mu You quickly saw the buoy not far away and walked over to pull up the fishing net to take a look.
As expected, it was empty inside...
There was a big hole in the bottom of the fishing net. The leak was repaired crookedly with obviously different materials. Now there are only a few fish scales hanging on the leak under the fishing net.
Apparently, some fish had visited, but after circling around in the net, they turned around and slipped away.
Mu You shook his head. He didn't expect the broken net to really catch fish.
Throwing the fishing net into the water again, he opened his backpack, took out the prepared can of bait, poured a bottle of sleeping potion into the bait, and then wrapped the crumpled bait with spider silk and hung it in the center of the fishing net.
"I hope this potion will work..."
Mu You breathed out. This fishing net is restricted by rules and can only be harvested once a day. He plans to come back and have a look when he returns tomorrow, hoping that his trip will not be in vain.
After setting up the fishing net, Mu You climbed up to the coast, found a high place to take a look, and quickly found the direction of the city.
It was more than ten kilometers away, a city built on the mountain, half embedded in the mountain and half built in the water.
There are obviously many residents in this city, and the lights are still bright late at night. The brilliance of various magic lamps illuminates the city brightly, like a city that never sleeps in the water.
There are some drainage channels around the city, and the game characters must have escaped from these channels before. However, I don't know if it was affected by the appearance of the wanted criminal yesterday. At this time, patrol posts were arranged around these waterways to closely monitor every move under the water.
Of course, Mu You brought a mask this time, so just go through the main entrance.
Mu You put on the fisherman's skin, put on the Thousand Man Thousand Faces, and activated the mask's effect of deeply hiding his aura. For the next twenty-four hours, he would not be able to detect the Fool's aura.
Mu You picked up a bamboo basket by the river, filled it with some water plants, pretended to be a fisherman returning from the sea, and walked towards the city gate.
Along the way, he saw many players who went online at night.
Obviously, this massive hunt in the Star Spirit Realm has put a lot of pressure on the players, forcing them to work in the dark and wander around the city. No one dares to approach the city gate.
Mu You took the time to observe the player's game characters for a while, and found that the players and NPCs were very easy to distinguish. There was no difference in appearance, but the difference in behavior was too obvious: those actions were sneaky, and they were stuck from time to time. The ones whose actions are obviously dull are definitely the players.
When they arrived at the city gate, there were indeed many knights of the Guard gathered at the city gate, carefully checking the pedestrians passing by.
Mu You believed in the effectiveness of the mask, but he still made some preparations before approaching. He hid his pocket watch and wand in his sleeves, and if he found something was wrong, he could backtrack at any time.
As a result, he was released smoothly.
The soldiers guarding the gate were completely unable to detect his Fool attribute. After some interrogation, they even issued him a brand new identity certificate.
Mu You picked it up and looked at it. It was an identity token engraved with the pattern of Sunset City. It stored his justice camp reputation data. Currently, it only had the fourteen points obtained from killing the werewolf, so it was only the lowest Black Iron Token. The token level seems to increase as the reputation increases.
As for the use of a high-level identity token, Mu You doesn't know yet.
Entering the city, Mu You looked at the night market in this other world.
The nobles and wizards of this city basically live in the mountains, and those living below the mountains are generally ordinary civilians. As for the poor who cannot afford to live in houses, they can only crowd in the cold and damp underground rivers below.
Mu You didn't want to come into contact with the aborigines for the time being, so he walked along the streets alone. After passing several of the busiest commercial streets, when he came out of a dark alley, he suddenly heard someone calling him next to him.
"Huh? A new-faced fisherman, could it be that he is new from another city? Welcome to Sunset City, why not come and take a look at my products, guaranteed to be of high quality and low price!" A green-skinned, pointed-eared, short goblin There was a stall set up on the roadside. When I saw Mu You passing by, my eyes lit up and I immediately said hello.
Mu You turned around and saw the green goblin setting up a stall on the roadside, and was immediately happy.
Isn't this the goblin businessman who wanted to trick him yesterday?
I didn’t even think about looking for you, but you just delivered it to my door yourself!
Mu You approached decisively: "What do you sell here?"
As he asked, his eyes swept over its stall, and he saw that on the yellowed tablecloth, there were only some bread, fruits, colorful stones, some dirty antiques, metal jewelry, etc., but basically they were all It's just scrap metal, nothing of real value at all.
"Come and see this!"
The goblin picked up a pack of biscuits and promoted them enthusiastically: "This is the latest elf biscuit. If you eat one piece, you can go without eating for three days. This pack can provide at least three months of food rations. It only costs 20 Life span, how about it?"
Mu You sneered secretly, because he had clearly seen the properties of this cookie through the omniscient crystal.
Spoiled elf biscuits: You will not be hungry for three days after eating them, but you will have diarrhea for three days afterward.
If you really eat this thing, you will probably collapse. It is really evil to sell such fake and shoddy products.
However, Mu You did not point it out directly. Instead, he scanned the other products on the stall, showed a noncommittal expression, and suddenly said: "Do you sell information here?"
"intelligence?"
The goblin was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that a fisherman on the other side would ask such a question. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Sell, of course, but generally the information that can be sold is relatively valuable..."
Mu You immediately glared at it displeasedly: "Why, do you think I can't afford it?"
"No, no, no, just ask."
The goblin businessman quickly changed his mind. He had been doing business for many years and had developed extraordinary eyesight. Therefore, he immediately saw that the fisherman seemed to be confident in what he said. He was probably holding a huge sum of money and was waiting to squander it if he had some adventure outside.
So it immediately changed its attitude, rubbed its hands and looked at Mu You in a flattering manner: "If you want to ask for any information, just ask!"
"The information I want to ask about is about a ship named 'Ghost'."
"Ghost?"
The goblin was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed and said confidently: "You have asked the right person. I guarantee that I am the only one in Sunset City who knows this news! Because I am the only one who has ever seen the survivors of that ship."
"Survivor? You mean, the ship sank?" Mu You frowned.
"This is information content. I can only tell you after you buy it. It's not expensive and only lasts for one year!" Goblin said.
"Okay, I bought it." Mu You nodded without hesitation.
[You agreed to the information transaction with the goblin merchant, and your life span is -1. 】
The moment he agreed, a prompt sounded in his mind.
The goblin obviously also received the prompt. After a moment of joy, he hurriedly spoke: "In the southern sea thousands of kilometers away from Sunset City, there is a piece of water called the 'Devil's Zone'. That triangular sea area. It is said that people who have been eternally cursed and died within the Devil's Sea will have their corpses corroded by the curse and their bodies cannot be resurrected. As a result, they will become earth-bound ghosts after death and be trapped in that sea forever."
"More than seven hundred years ago, the Ghost hit a reef in that devilish sea. The ship was destroyed and everyone died. More than 400 crew members on board were all buried at the bottom of the sea. There was only one lucky boatman who had not had time to board the ship. Survived.”
The goblin said, taking out an ancient sheepskin scroll from his body, and said with a smile: "The pirate who escaped also died in an accident three years ago. It cost me a lot to get it from that pirate. The map you bought marked the wreckage location of the Ghost. Now, you only need to spend a little more life to buy this map. You see..."
Sure enough, there is a back-up!
Mu Youxin said that this guy was following the same pattern as the black-hearted scarecrow. The information was only sold for one year, but the truly valuable things were waiting behind him.
"Show me the map." Mu You stretched out his hand to ask for it.
"That's not possible. You have to buy it before you can watch it." The goblin quickly and vigilantly put away the parchment.
"How long does it take to live?"
"Not expensive, 500 years!" the goblin said, spreading a hand.
Mu You's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself, could all these profiteers see the balance of his lifespan? How come you can always quote under the upper limit of his lifespan?
In the past, Mu You would definitely use a pocket watch at this time and use its map for free.
But this time it doesn't have to be that troublesome.
"It's a little expensive!" Mu You frowned.
"It's not expensive! Think about it, boss. As long as you have this map, you can get all the treasures left by the pirates. It only has a lifespan of 500 years. This is definitely a hugely profitable deal!" the goblin said hurriedly.
Mu You sneered when he heard this. This guy only mentioned the benefits, but didn't mention the dangers at all. Is it so easy to get a pirate's treasure? The death of four hundred crew members means that there are now more than four hundred ghosts on the pirate ship. For ordinary people, it is definitely dead or not.
This guy was probably eager to wait until he died before selling the information to others.
"How can I be sure that your map and information are true?" Mu You asked after thinking about it.
"You can rest assured about this! For such a large order, we can sign a blood contract to ensure that it will not be fake."
The goblin was overjoyed when he saw Mu You's move, and hurriedly took out another familiar scroll from his body, which was the blood contract scroll that Mu You had used.
"This blood contract sells for 100 years. If you buy the map, I will give it to you for free!"
Mu You was really surprised. He dared to sell a blood contract scroll for a hundred years. It was not like he had never seen this thing traded by others on the forum. The lifespan of ten years was unparalleled.
"No rush, I'll look at something else first."
Mu You remained calm, crossed his arms, and glanced around the stall, pretending to browse the products. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Why are you here full of rags? There is no real good stuff." Sell?"
"Yes, I have!"
Upon hearing this, the goblin hurriedly took out two more things from his body, a stone and a beetle.
"Look, this is a perforated stone, used for slotting equipment. The price is 60 years."
"This is called the Scout Beetle, the latest alchemy creature. It looks exactly like an ordinary beetle. After being released, it can eavesdrop on the surrounding environment. It has a lifespan of 70 years."
"What do you think of these two things?"
"Well, just so-so..."
Seeing that it only took out two small things, Mu You estimated that this guy probably had more valuable things on him. However, he kept asking questions but did not consume them, which probably made the other person wary.
The goblin race is very shrewd and will not take out valuable things easily.
"Well, it's not bad... Just give me the map. After signing the blood contract, I'll buy it." Mu Youyou said.
The goblin was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly took out the map and blood contract scroll.
As a result, the moment the map was taken out, Mu You snatched the two things in its hand very quickly, rolled it up on the stall, took away a few things, and then turned around and ran away.
"Um?"
The goblin was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at his empty palm.
The next second, a sharp voice echoed in the late-night Sunset City: "Robbery! Someone is robbing someone on the street!"
(End of chapter)
