[After a period of dizziness, you are resurrected in the 'Watchman's Cabin'. 】
After returning from resurrection, Mu You immediately pointed out the tomb and took a look.
Sure enough, at this moment, the eyes of the skull at the bottom of the urn were already glowing with a strange purple light.
"Is it purple..."
Mu You touched his chin. It seemed that different levels of corpses were absorbed, and the colors of the will-o'-the-wisps on the skulls would be different.
According to the color classification habits of the star spirit world, purple is not the highest level of trolls, and there are probably gold and the like...
Shaking his head, Mu You rode the teleportation array back to Xiaoya's tree house, and rode the donkey towards the cave again.
He died just once, plus a teleportation, which was another two years of consumption, and he just got one corpse. If he wanted to get twenty corpses, he would have to spend at least 40 years of his life.
This is why he sometimes has a time pocket watch, which can greatly reduce the consumption of lifespan in the process of exploring the path. For an ordinary person, he does not know how many lifespans it would take to complete this task...
When we rushed back to the cave, it was already two hours later and it was early Sunday morning.
Mu You entered the cave again, preparing to copy the previous routine and continue looking for the second tomb.
As a result, he soon discovered something was wrong: the density of patrolling trolls had increased significantly!
In the past, the missiles could find an unguarded path just by taking two or three casual shots. But now, it takes about seven or eight attempts to find a passage, the strength of the guards has more than doubled, and the patrol range of each troll has also been greatly expanded.
"It seems that the trolls discovered that a chief's grave was dug, and sent more troops to guard the tomb..."
Mu You couldn't help but frown. In this situation, it was still possible to move, but forget about absorbing corpses. If it lasted for two minutes, he would definitely be discovered.
What's more, if he continues to commit crimes against the wind, every time he digs another grave, the guard strength will probably increase, and he will soon be unable to move even an inch.
Mu You has realized that this task cannot be completed with the game characters, because the game characters are too slow and cannot judge when to stop. By the time he finds the troll, the troll has already approached him. .
It seems that we can only wait until he comes in at night and rely on his body to complete it.
Thinking of this, Mu You immediately gave up his plan to continue absorbing the corpses, and instead explored the crypt with all his strength. At least he had to find out where the advanced tomb was. It would be much easier when the main body moves at night.
The next day, Mu You began to draw a map of the tombs with all his strength. After more than 50 years of physical exertion, he finally found the locations of twenty high-level troll tombs before nightfall.
In addition, during the day, Lin Xue successfully transformed the 'Dark Fire' spell into black magic.
She has been trying this card since Thursday's meeting, and on the fourth day, she was finally lucky enough to produce the first finished product.
This speed is certainly not comparable to that of Mu You, but it is much better than other new mystic masters. It can only be said that Lin Xue’s learning talent and calm and careful thinking ability have a natural advantage in the research of occult arts. He had just become a mystic for less than two weeks, and his card-making ability was already as good as that of veterans like Lion Archer.
The transformed black magic is called 'Ghost Fire Explosion'. The original Hell Fire is just a small will-o'-the-wisp. It can only hit one target after flying out, but the transformed Hell Fire will explode and attack all creatures within a three-meter radius. Causes 300 points of damage.
300 points of damage is actually only equivalent to a mid-level magic. It is far worse in terms of damage and range than a small fireball, which is also a low-level black magic.
However, this secret technique also comes with two special effects: one is that when it explodes, all magic effects within the range will be dispelled, and the other is that it will cause five times the damage to soul-based creatures.
This increases the practicality of this magic several times. Even if the damage is ignored, it is very good to use purely as a range dispersion method. And if it is used to deal with soul-based creatures, it is even more effective. It costs 1500 points at a time. The damage is comparable to the explosive power of two or three high-level magics!
Mu You rushed out a few copies of this card, and it just so happened that it was time to enter the door. This spell can be used this time.
In addition, Muyou also took the time to refine a new potion, the 'Fish Gill Potion', which has the effect of growing fish gills on the neck for a period of time after taking it, which can be used for underwater breathing.
The main ingredients of this potion are Houttuynia cordata and mermaid scales. Houttuynia cordata Muyou had already obtained a batch of spare parts when selecting trophies.
As for the scales... For mermaids, scales are like hair. They will naturally fall off some every day. The fallen scales will be collected by the mermaids themselves and used for trade with other races.
So Mu You just prepared a few boxes of canned fish bait, and easily exchanged a lot of scales from the mermaid for the price of one can.
The last ten bottles of fish gill potion were successfully released, seven of which were fine grade and three bottles of rare grade. A master potion's gills will last for five hours, while a rare potion will last up to a full day!
The reason why this potion was made was mainly to deal with Gemini. After all, the fish-man mask is a foreign object and may fail. The effect of the potion is safer.
After making these preparations, it was already approaching ten o'clock in the evening.
Mu You walked into the backpack space, came to the lake, put down a can of bait, and then whistled towards the lake below.
The mermaid heard the noise and swam up quickly, surfaced and took a look.
After getting along with each other for the past few days, the mermaid no longer had much vigilance towards Mu You. At this time, when he saw the cans placed on the shore, he swam over consciously, placed a scale next to him, and then took the cans away. .
"I'm going to the Star Spirit Realm. Do you want to go back with me?" Mu You took the opportunity to ask.
The mermaid's ears twitched when she heard this, and there was a clear hesitation on her face, but this hesitation only lasted less than two seconds before she made her decision.
The mermaid didn't speak. Instead, she swung her tail and dived to the bottom of the lake with the can in her hand. There was no movement.
The meaning is very clear: I don’t want to go back.
Mu You was not surprised by this. The living conditions in this space were much better than her original one. There was enough food, and no one competed with her for food or territory. She could also catch the light of Xiaoya's evolution every day, every now and then. There are also canned fish baits for feeding... It's normal not to want to leave now.
Mu You ignored her, walked to the grass next to him, and pulled out a chocobo.
[Chocobo (mature stage): A chocobo with vestigial wings, a high-quality mount, good at running long distances, and can carry up to two people. Possess the ability to 'breathe underwater': can move freely in the underwater environment. 】
This is the chocobo that Mu You specially fed. It is now fully mature and has grown to two and a half meters tall. It has golden feathers, a wide beak, and two strong and slender legs. At first glance, it looks like it is specially designed for Creatures born to run.
This chocobo Muyou has been contracted and equipped with a specially customized saddle on its back.
At this time, the chocobo seemed to have noticed that it was about to follow its master away from its birthplace and run on a wider land. It couldn't help but excitedly circled around Muyou, its long tail feathers swaying constantly, and it chirped in its mouth. Non-stop.
Mu You soothed the golden feathers on its neck to make it quiet, and then took the reins and led it out of the space.
In the basement, Lin Xue and Xiaoya were already waiting in front of the door. With the experience last time, they all wore much thicker clothes this time.
There is also a little spider, who will also follow him through the door this time.
Mu You looked at the time on his watch. After the hour hand passed ten o'clock, he stepped forward and opened the door on time.
Outside the door is still the same windy and snowy scene. The cold wind howled, and the little spider immediately jumped on the chocobo's back and buried itself in the fluffy feathers to keep warm.
Mu You let the war eagle go out, wandered around in the sky, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal nearby, he led the chocobo out of the door, and then put it into the prepared backpack.
"You two practice first while I go to the Elf Forest to complete a mission."
Muyou left War Eagle behind as usual, and after greeting the two of them, teleported to the Elf Forest, preparing to complete the troll mission first at night when the combat effectiveness was strongest.
After a period of teleportation dizziness, Mu You appeared in an exquisite wooden house.
This is Xiaoya's treehouse in the game, but it only has some simple daily items, nothing special.
After leaving the tree house, Mu You released the chocobo, rode on it, patted its neck, and motioned it to move towards the west.
The chocobo couldn't wait to see the brand new land, and kept taking small steps on the spot. Until Mu You gave the order, it immediately flew out like an arrow.
As soon as he started running, Mu You realized how fast the chocobo was. It was like a golden lightning running through the forest. He only felt that the scenery on both sides were retreating rapidly. A strong wind was hitting him, but Lu Xing was hit by it again. The bird's unique beak structure blocks and separates it on both sides, greatly reducing the wind resistance suffered by the rider behind it.
At the same time, Chocobo's two strong legs were like two shock absorbers. Even when walking through a mountain forest like the Elf Forest, he could hardly feel any bumps.
The originally two-hour journey took only ten minutes at the Chocobo's feet, and we had arrived at the scheduled location.
When Mu You came down to the ground, the chocobo chirped twice in dissatisfaction, as if complaining about why it had been running away for so long?
"Okay, let's go back first. There will be plenty of opportunities to run around in the future."
Mu You patted its feathers in a funny way.
After bringing this chocobo in, of course he doesn't plan to take it back again. He will keep it here for the game characters to use. From now on, it will basically replace the little donkey, all year round.
