"Ifrit, you must die a happy death!"
Caesar was furious, but at the same time he couldn't help but panic.
After being stabbed in the heart by the Desert Guardian, he will lose all power and become a scarab with a lifespan of less than a year.
And there are so many cats guarding around...
Caesar could already imagine what would happen to him next: these guys didn't even intend to give him a chance to survive in the form of a bug!
"You want me to die, you are dreaming!"
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Caesar suddenly roared, and while the divine power in his body had not completely dissipated, he hurriedly activated the last bit of divine power and summoned a batch of scarabs that he had raised in the divine realm over the years.
The next moment, Caesar's giant body quickly shrunk until it disappeared, turning into a scarab the size of a fingertip. It fell to the ground with its eight legs upturned and kept chirping.
At the same time, countless scarabs surged out from the place where Caesar disappeared. There were hundreds of thousands of them, directly drowning the bugs that Caesar had transformed into.
Then, the dense insects quickly spread around like waves.
The cats gathering around all jumped back instinctively. There was no other way. Although a single bug was very weak, once they gathered in such a number, they were like locusts passing through the border and could eat up a creature in an instant.
Even Evans and the Manticore subconsciously took a few steps back, jumped to a safer height, and then began to turn around and fight back.
When everyone retreated, only two figures stood still and started attacking the insects.
One is the Bone Dragon. As a mythical beast with only white bones left, the Bone Dragon is not afraid of things that target flesh and blood. The dragon's tail keeps lashing, and large swaths of bugs die instantly.
The other is Mu You. He is still in the form of a mecha. He is not afraid of insects, and he also has a pocket watch to predict the future. The moment the insects swarm out, the flames of his two shotguns never stop, and they aim in the direction of fire. The location where Caesar disappeared into the swarm of insects.
As the tongues of fire gushed out, large swarms of insects over there died.
Lin Xue also joined the battlefield in the distance, and the God of Death waved his scythe to harvest the insects.
With the efforts of a few people, the raging insect tide at the site became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the number of bugs decreased, the cats watching from the outside also jumped over one after another. This kind of moving gadget has a natural attraction for cats.
Thousands of cats suddenly activated the shadowless fist mode, and one claw could kill one, and countless scarabs died from the cat's claws.
However, the bugs seemed to have been given an order, and they did not stop to attack anyone at all. Instead, they fled directly outside the oasis with clear goals and never stopped.
"Caesar wants to escape into the desert, stop him!" shouted the troubadour.
Of course other people also understand this and are using their own methods to kill the bugs.
It's a pity that scarabs are not afraid of fire, otherwise they would be much easier to remove.
Just like that, the swarm of insects fled all the way, and the crowd and the cats chased them all the way. More than 99% of the bugs were quickly eliminated. Only a very small number of them were missed because they were too scattered and the targets were too small. Through various means, He escaped from everyone's sight under the cover of the corner.
"about there."
After Mu You killed all the bugs in sight, he put away the hot barrel: "If the other party can survive in this way, then he is lucky."
The others also gave up the pursuit after hearing this.
Even Evans and Manticore, the two who hated Caesar the most, chose to stop at this time.
Of course, the most important reason is that it doesn't matter anymore. Caesar turned into a bug and lost all his power. He can't do anything next, and there is no difference between dead and alive.
Just when everyone stopped, from a crack in the ground dozens of meters away from everyone, a scarab crawled out from between the rocks, clung to a patch of low grass on the ground, and began to move towards it crazily. Escape.
This scarab is the incarnation of Caesar.
At this time, Caesar shouted in his heart that he was lucky.
He originally thought that today was the most unlucky day in his life. Everything reached its lowest point in an instant, and he was almost about to face the worst ending. However, he did not expect that at the last moment, his luck actually exploded. From those people Survived the frantic pursuit.
When Caesar recalled the narrow escape he had just experienced, he still felt unbelievable.
Although even if he survives, he will not be able to regain his strength and original shape and can only maintain the form of a bug. But at least he is still alive, and more importantly, he still retains consciousness, which makes him very different from ordinary scarabs. !
As long as he can escape, he can find those fools from the Caesar Cult and trick them into continuing to work for him in the name of the incarnation of 'Caesar'.
In this way, life span, survival resources, etc. will be all available. If he is lucky, he can still enjoy an emperor-like life, even if he can only enjoy it all in the form of an insect...
Of course, the premise of all this is to survive here first!
Caesar was dreaming silently in his heart, and the joints and limbs under his feet danced rapidly, and he accelerated his crawling speed again.
After walking through the dense grassland, Caesar finally saw the golden desert in his narrow field of vision, just tens of meters away in front.
Caesar was immediately ecstatic. As long as he could escape into the desert and get into the endless sand, those behind him would be completely helpless.
Looking at the desert so close, Caesar couldn't wait any longer, jumped out of the grass and ran forward.
However, just when he was about to escape the oasis and enter the desert, a meow suddenly sounded above his head, causing Caesar to tremble violently.
Caesar subconsciously raised his head, only to see a cat's claw falling from the sky and stepping down on him.
Caesar suddenly felt like he was dead, but things happened so fast that by the time he found out, he had already lost the chance to escape. After all, who would have thought that a cat would be so ungrateful as to run to such an edge area and wait for an ambush. he……
In despair, Caesar could only watch the cat's claws landing on him.
"Meow, the fight is finally over..."
The next second, a silver-gray figure landed on the ground, two cat paws stretched forward, tail raised, stretching beautifully.
After the thrilling experience in the tower, Cola was very frightened. After being brought back to the ground by Mu You just now, and watching the earth-shattering fight between the giants, it didn't want to be involved again, so it slipped away from the battlefield. He hid at the edge of the oasis, climbed to the top of a tree, and watched the battle from a distance, preparing to flee as soon as the situation went wrong.
Fortunately, the situation developed well, and Mu You and others successfully killed the crazy giant.
At this moment, Coke confirmed that the battlefield was almost cleaned, and then jumped down from the tree, preparing to go back and show his presence, otherwise it would be bad if Mu You forgot here later.
"Paji!"
As a result, as soon as the Coke landed on the ground and before I could finish stretching, I felt my feet being stung, as if I had stepped on something.
"Meow?"
Cola hurriedly raised his paw to take a look, and saw a crushed insect corpse lying on the ground, and some insect shells and unknown mucus were stuck to his pink flesh.
"Oh, that's so disgusting!"
Cola hurriedly shook his meat claws and wiped it on the tree trunk next to him for a long time. After cleaning it up, he trotted towards Mu You.
…
In the distance, all the fighting was over. Mu You also switched back to his watchman skin and walked towards Evans.
After taking some medicine, Evans, who was seriously injured, was completely healed of his injuries. However, his armor, which was in pieces and stained with blood, still showed the cruelty and tragedy of this war.
"How's it going? How much has your army been reduced?" Mu You looked past Evans and glanced behind him at the soldiers who were still lying in a mess on the desert.
Evans smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Fortunately, only less than one-tenth of the soldiers were killed, so the number of people was not reduced too much..."
Of course Mu You could understand what he meant. On the surface, it seemed that the attrition ratio was not high, but this was the star spirit world with a resurrection mechanism. Those who were attrited were all people whose lifespans had been completely wiped out. Everyone was very He may have died dozens or hundreds of times before finally dying.
Even the number of people who have exhausted their lifespan has reached one-tenth. Needless to say about the others, the total loss of lifespan of this army is probably reduced by at least two-thirds.
In addition, the more important thing is the level. Continuous deaths will result in a large amount of experience points being deducted. Many soldiers have been directly killed from level 15 or above to level 10. The combat effectiveness of the entire army has been greatly reduced. This is A truly fatal effect!
"I told you not to do stupid things before, but if you don't listen, look at this...hey, why bother?" At this time, the troubadour's shadow emerged from the magic lamp again, scolding Evans. , with a look of emotion.
Evans smiled bitterly and did not refute.
This is not something that can be changed by his will. Even if he asks the troops to withdraw, the soldiers will not agree. After all, no one can predict what will happen next.
Fortunately, no matter what, the result was good. Not only did they successfully eliminate Caesar, they also allowed most people to survive. It was better than letting 100,000 people die directly in battle here.
"What about you?" Mu You looked at the bard again: "Can you still take back your divine power?"
Caesar had been deprived of his divine power before, and the divine power did not return directly to the bard, but poured into the magic lamp.
"No problem, it just takes some time." The bard smiled confidently upon hearing this.
Anyway, the divine power is stored in the magic lamp and will not be lost, and his soul cannot be separated from the magic lamp. As long as there is a stable environment and sufficient time, it will be slowly restored to the body sooner or later.
"Are you two going to leave the desert next?" Evans asked at this time.
"Yes, it's time to go back." Mu You took out the Magic Pen of Order and stroked the rough and twisted body of the pen.
To put it bluntly, he came here for the magic pen. Now that he has the magic pen, he has no reason to stay in the desert.
"I also need to temporarily follow him out of the desert to help him complete the subsequent inheritance handover. In addition, I still owe him two wishes." The bard pointed at Mu Youyou.
"May the Desert Goddess bless you!"
Evans made a blessing ceremony to each of them, then shook hands with Mu You and said sincerely: "Welcome to come to the desert at any time. The desert will never forget your kindness. You will always be friends here!"
After shaking hands, Evans took off a short sword from his body, held it in both hands, and handed it to the troubadour: "This is the artifact 'Desert Guardian' that you gave me back then. Now the mission of killing Caesar has been completed. It's It’s time to return the property to its original owner.”
The troubadour looked strangely at Evans's solemn return of the sword, but burst out laughing: "Whose original owner does it belong to? This thing originally belonged to the desert goddess, and I picked it up by chance. Except for you, the desert goddess, Apart from the blood heir, I can’t think of anyone else who is qualified to hold it.”
"Oh?" Mu You was stunned and looked at Evans in surprise.
Unexpectedly, he was the bloodline heir of a god like Lin Xue... But in this way, it explained why Evans believed in the Desert Goddess so unswervingly.
"Yes." Evans nodded with a wry smile. He had never revealed this identity to outsiders, but he was not surprised that the djinn could see it.
"What kind of god is the desert goddess?" Mu You asked curiously.
"The desert goddess, named 'Serket', holds the power of 'detoxification' and is the nemesis of all desert poisons such as scorpions, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, etc. Since ancient times, the desert goddess has been the most important patron saint of the residents of this land. , no one." Evans proudly introduced.
"Serket, she is a kind-hearted and dedicated goddess. She never gave up her priesthood until her death..." The bard showed emotion after hearing this, as if he had recalled something. The past.
After a moment, he looked at Evans and nodded with satisfaction: "Now that she has descendants like you to help her continue to protect the desert, she can rest in peace."
"From now on, you are the patron saint of the desert. Of course, you are the unknown one..." The bard looked at a group of soldiers outside: "You defeated Caesar and protected the desert, but you are destined to be inhumane. I know...but don't worry, when I regain my supernatural power in the future, I will still come back to the desert and continue to be my bard. When the time comes, I will definitely turn today's heroic deeds into bard stories and spread them widely in the desert. Everyone knows. You heroes who have protected the desert should not be buried in history."
Evans smiled noncommittally upon hearing this and looked down at the dagger in his hand.
He didn't know if any of his soldiers would care about these reputations. In short, he would continue to hold this sword and silently guard this land.
…
Half an hour later, Mu You, Lin Xue and others said goodbye to Evans and teleported back to Dawn City together.
In addition to the bone dragon, the manticore and the djinn also followed Mu You to Dawn City.
As soon as the two giant creatures entered the city, they immediately attracted countless players to watch, and a bunch of posts of exclamation and discussion suddenly appeared on the forum.
The manticore only thought it was noisy. It came here only to protect the magic lamp and its owner. It had no interest in the onlookers of these mortals. After entering the city, it transformed into an orange cat and found a quiet place to sleep.
The Bone Dragon, on the other hand, was being worshiped by countless players. They chatted and interacted with it. It actually vaguely regained the feeling it had when it was making waves in the star spirit world and was cited as a 'dragon' by a group of believers, so it deliberately stayed in this place. It is a conspicuous place near the main castle, where people can admire it and enjoy the comfort of being sought after.
Mu You didn't care about the two divine beasts. After entering the city, he immediately took the magic lamp into the dungeon, all the way to the seventh floor, and then passed through the gate in the hive and went down to the power room where the divine bones were stored.
Now that all the conditions are in place, he is about to officially merge his bloodline.
"Yo, Demon God's Bone!"
When Mu You took out the bones of the devil and the blood of the god one by one, the shadow of the troubadour emerging from the magic lamp next to him suddenly screamed in surprise.
The bard hurriedly floated in front of him, looked carefully at the huge divine bones on the ground, and couldn't help but marveled: "It's not bad, you can get this level of divine bones at the beginning... However, the bones of the devil are not easy to fuse. …”
Mu You was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "What? Are the Bones of the Demon God and the God of Order incompatible?"
He had finally obtained the Demonic God's Bone. If it was not compatible, he would have to find the Demonic God's Bone again...
"Oh, that's not the case. It's just that the fusion of such a high-star divine bone from the beginning will cause a lot of burden on your body... In short, you will be in pain during the fusion, and you need to The time will be much longer than that of ordinary divine bones.”
Mu You immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as it can be fused, he didn't care whether it hurt or not. Anyway, it was just a one-time short-term pain that would be over after the fusion. It wasn't long-term, so it didn't matter.
"Then, how long will it take to fully integrate these two things?" Mu You asked.
Accepting the skin of God actually only takes a moment. The key point is the prerequisite for accepting the inheritance: you need to fuse the blood of God first to transform yourself into a bloodline that can accept the inheritance; then you need to fuse the bones of God into the body to enhance the strength of the body. This will increase the star rating and upper limit that the divine skin can manifest.
Of course, the fusion of bone and blood can be carried out at the same time without conflict.
"About a week." The bard estimated.
"A week...so long?"
Mu You looked at him with a strange expression. He thought that even if the Demon God's Bone would take longer, it would only take a few hours at most, and he would definitely be able to get it done before today.
As a result, it actually took a week...
The troubadour rolled his eyes: "You think this is taking drugs, just swallow it. This requires completely transforming your body from beginning to end, how can it be so fast?"
"All right……"
Mu You smiled bitterly. In this way, he will definitely not be able to go back before closing the door today. According to the rules of door buckle life, a total of 127 years of extra life will be deducted from him in the next week.
This lifespan is nothing, the key is that he still has to find a way to go back after seven days, and at this time it seems that it is too late to temporarily find other forces to borrow a door.
Fortunately, this is not a big deal. Even if there is no other way to go, there is still the well of the Fuya family available. After seven days, we can go back directly through that well. As long as we return to the earth, the life span deduction will naturally stop.
Next, Mu You returned to the city first, told Lin Xue and the others the news, and asked Lin Xue to take Coke and Vivian back first and close the door. Then he went to notify Fuya and asked her not to leave in a hurry for seven days. Later, when he visited Dawn City, he didn't know the way to her ancestral home yet, so he had to let her lead the way.
After doing all this, Mu You returned to the power room.
"It's going to be painful, so be prepared..." the bard said.
"Well, let's get started."
Mu You nodded and found a place to lie down. He held the blood of God and the bone of God in his hands respectively. After taking a breath, he began to fuse under the watch of the Djinn God.
"Well……"
The moment the fusion began, Mu You suddenly felt as if the skin all over his body had fallen directly into magma and became extremely hot.
He admitted that he underestimated what the Djinn called 'mental preparation'.
The key is that despite this unspeakable severe pain, his consciousness is still very clear!
In addition, this kind of boiling heat was still spreading inwards rapidly. Soon, Mu You felt that the cells in his whole body began to boil and burn, as if he had fallen into a raging fire cooking oil. Life was worse than death...
