[You raise the fog-breaking mirror and look towards the area 50-60 degrees due south. 】

[What you can see is a giant water storage device similar to an irrigation tank, floating on the sea about three thousand meters away. The end of the device is connected to a huge U-shaped pipe. Above the pipe outlet is a piece of water that has long been rusted. The knob has obviously not been taken care of for a long time. At this time, clean water is continuously pouring out of the pipe mouth and pouring into the water tank below. The water level displayed on the water tank is continuing to rise and is very close to the warning line...]

The text description was not detailed enough, but Mu You still understood the meaning at a glance.

It was obvious that the area they were in should be a plantation or something like that that had been opened by a certain giant. They might have planted relatively delicate crops, so they were equipped with a water storage tank-type timed watering device.

However, the owner of this plantation was apparently killed tens of thousands of years ago. Over the years, the plantation has been abandoned and turned into a world of wormwood and wild animals. However, the giant did not turn off the water inlet switch before his death. It fell, causing the water storage tank to continuously store water, draining and irrigating it regularly every hour, scouring the land behind. This is the source of the tsunami.

When he came back to his senses, Mu You was also amused.

The timed tsunami that has caused countless players to suffer for a long time was actually caused by a certain giant who forgot to turn off the faucet. When this truth is reported back, I wonder what everyone will think...

Mu You shook his head. Now that he could see the source of the tsunami clearly, it was much easier to deal with it. No wonder a few surveyors would go directly into the water at that time. Now they only need to swim over and close the 'faucet'.

Mu You looked at the time and saw that there were less than twenty minutes left before the next tsunami arrived.

In the current state of the character, he will almost certainly die in the next tsunami.

It is useless to go offline at this time. Many people have tried it. In the real world, 'offline escape' cannot be used. After the character goes offline, he will not enter the collapse state like the star world, but will remain offline. The previous state remains in place until it dies or comes online again.

Therefore, if you want to pause exploration in the real world, you must first move the character to a safe place before going offline. But now Muyou obviously does not have this condition.

Mu You estimated the distance, three thousand meters, and it was in the water. At his current speed, it would be too late to continue the detour along the shore. At this time, he could only go straight into the water.

As for the reminder left by the Fool's ancestor, Mu You didn't take it too seriously.

Anyway, if you don't go into the water, you will die soon. It's better to give it a try. Maybe you can shut down the device once and for all before the next tsunami.

Besides, after so many years, even if there is something under the water, it would probably have left long ago.

[As time goes by, you make a simple boat with a waterproof sliding shell, find two fish scales to make slurry, enter the water from the shore, and start paddling in the direction of the detection...]

[Soon, you sail into the deep water area. You can no longer see the land when you look back. The surroundings become quiet. Looking up, you are surrounded by white sea water and mist...]

It is very easy to lose your way when sailing in this kind of foggy weather. Fortunately, the fog-breaking mirror you just obtained can act as a compass. Mu You can take a few steps and take a look at it. While confirming the direction, it can also ensure that he is not attacked by other creatures. Anyway, the search photos were completed during the period of retrospection, so he wouldn't waste a single moment of his time.

We rowed like this for about ten minutes, the sea was always calm and we encountered no obstacles. However, it is limited to the surface of the water. There is no way under the water. The fog-breaking mirror can only break the fog, but not the water.

A few more minutes later, just as Mu You was about to swim close to the target location, a sudden change occurred!

[The calm sea surface suddenly turned upside down, and a layer of splash-like material emerged from the water, covering you and the boat. 】

[You instantly feel that the world is completely black, and a layer of sticky, glue-like substance wraps around your body, making your movement blocked and your breathing sluggish. 】

[You instinctively struggle desperately, but you can't break free at all. Every time you push away some sticky substances, new ones will immediately fill in, like a piece of flowing jelly, wrapping you tightly in it. You soon realize that without outside help, it will be difficult for you to break free...]

What the hell? Ink?

Mu You was stunned and suddenly remembered the sea snail that was stuck with ink before.

At that time, Mu You was still confused, just a little ink, how difficult could it be to get rid of it? Unexpectedly, it would be his turn to experience it himself so soon.

After experiencing it personally, Mu You had to admit that this thing is indeed a bit perverted. It can stick to people and block sight. No wonder the surveyor's message just now mentioned that when he encountered that thing, the world suddenly became a piece of cake. It's all black. It's not that it's really dark, but that everyone's sight is blocked by ink!

Moreover, Mu You still had the Song of Peace halo on his head at this time, but it was not triggered, which meant that the ink was not a magical technique, but a simple physical attack method.

Ink... could it be an octopus?

Without enough time to think about it, Mu You hurriedly pressed his pocket watch.

[Time goes by and you go back to ten seconds ago. 】

[Realizing that danger is waiting ahead, you quickly stop paddling and run to the rear. 】

[Unfortunately, you have obviously been targeted by the existence in the water. 】

[A few seconds later, large swaths of ink rise from your feet again, sweeping toward you from both sides at high speeds. 】

[You have already had the experience of being tied up once. At this time, you instinctively jumped out and wanted to escape from the side. However, you underestimated the speed of the ink. The ink wrapped around you at a faster speed and covered your body again. However, because of your timely avoidance, the ink only covered your mouth and nose, leaving some space for you. A pair of eyes appeared. 】

[In the next few seconds, before the ink spread rapidly and completely wrapped your head, you finally saw what was floating on the sea ahead with your exposed eyes. 】

[It is a huge octopus foot, the surface is covered with suckers, and in the center of each sucker, there is an eyeball, rotating like a bone. 】

[When you saw the octopus feet, the eyes on the octopus feet also looked at you. At this moment, you felt an indescribable aura of wildness, which shocked your mind and made all the cells in your body restless. 】

[But then, this uncomfortable feeling suddenly disappeared. You opened your eyes again and found yourself on a quiet and peaceful grassland, surrounded by the childish laughter of children. There were piles on the ground. After getting the treasure and gold, there are countless sheep lining up in front of you to jump into the fire pit, turning into golden and crispy roasted whole sheep, delivered to your mouth...]

[The halo of the song of peace above your head quietly shatters! 】

[You wake up instantly, and all the visions in front of you disappear. You find that you have jumped into the water without knowing it, and you are still falling rapidly, getting further and further away from the water. There is something entangled in you, and no matter how hard you struggle, it is useless. Soon, you will die from suffocation. 】

【You are dead! 】

[Your soul was pulled back by the soul-guiding lamp and returned to the green lamp. 】

[You were resurrected under the soul-inducing lamp, and cracks appeared on the resurrection stone in your hand...]

Sure enough, he died without any troubles. Mu You didn't try to look back or struggle anymore. When he encountered this thing just now, he had no intention of coming back alive.

"Octopus...savage atmosphere..."

Mu You looked at the text prompt above with some strangeness.

If it was just an octopus, he hadn't thought too much about it, but then he was reminded that the other party had the ability to pull people into illusions. In addition, the game characters also felt the wild atmosphere from the octopus.

The combination of these three points made Mu You think of the Octopus King for the first time!

Octopus King, whose real name is Nightmare Octopus, specializes in pulling people into dreams. Mu You once personally visited Octopus King's dream, and when he saw Octopus King for the first time, he also had a feeling of facing the barbaric wilderness. The strangeness of the ancient beast...

Is it possible that the Octopus King was once a mythical beast in the real world? Is the octopus just now its kin?

Mu You wasn't sure for a moment.

In short, the trouble seems to be serious now. The octopus stays underwater and is expected to eat anyone who tries to get close to the irrigation system.

As a result, the two breaches outside Server 2 are guarded by giants on land and octopuses in the sea. Humanity is completely trapped and dead in this area...

After thinking about it, Mu You controlled the character to leave the Tower of Brave and teleport back to Dawn City.

The first thing he did after returning to the city was to summon the Octopus King from the sea below and ask him carefully about his life experience.

Unfortunately, the Octopus King also seemed at a loss, scratching his head at Mu You's questions. He only said that he had been in the sea of ​​the Star Spirit Realm since he could remember, and he didn't remember anything else.

"so……"

Mu You touched his chin. Although the Octopus King has no memory, he feels more and more that the Octopus King may really be a creature from the giant world, but the gods should have undergone some transformations on it, removing the divinity from it and transforming it into a creature from the star spirit world. Then I bet it in, treating it as a 'world easter egg' or something like that...

Mu You quickly came to his senses. Regardless of whether the Octopus King was a real creature or not, he would not be able to go to the Giant World for the next week, so he simply let it go.

[You have arrived in front of the statue. 】

[You have completed today’s priesthood: Repair a chaotic world order (1/1), and automatically obtain 50 divinity points. Current divinity remaining: 951 points. 】

After four or five hours of playing the game, it was already one o'clock in the morning the next day, and the crypt that had been repaired in the game was counted as today's priesthood mission.

Although this time of opening up the wasteland was not too long, the harvest was still good. In addition to various scattered materials, a total of 105 points of divinity were obtained, as well as a hidden relic with great practicality.

In addition, Mu You paid special attention to his experience before entering the tower. When he looked at it again, he found that his experience had increased by 11,000+ compared to before entering the tower!

This shows that killing monsters in the giant world is indeed gained through experience, but there is no prompt there.

Estimated based on the amount of experience, the efficiency should be the same as killing alien beasts on the earth, that is, 1 point of real life = 1 point of experience, and what you gain is likely to be real experience!

Real experience can help break through the bottleneck below level 20. For people above level 20, it seems to have no effect, but it is not.

For these city lords, real experience will have a greater use in the future: after level 30, they can use their accumulated real experience to exchange for ordinary experience from the idol experience pool at a ratio of 1:1000!

As for what is the experience pool? Similar to the divine pool, it is actually the experience stored by believers in the idol.

This is one of the functions of the idol: when believers reach a level bottleneck, they can break through the bottleneck by offering a large amount of experience in exchange for real experience. The experience they deposit will be stored intact by the idol for use by their own gods. .

Therefore, in the future, when he reaches level 30 or above and becomes a god, not only will his upgrade speed not stagnate, but because he has unlocked the experience pool, his level will explode. It is possible to reach level 35 in one go!

This is why the number of believers is so important to a god.

After ten stars, the demand for experience and divinity will become astronomical, especially divinity. Casting artifacts, creating divine spells, continuing to upgrade star levels, etc. all require massive amounts of divinity.

As for a god without believers, his experience pool and divinity pool are both empty, and he can only rely on himself to collect them slowly and slowly. He may not be able to improve to one star in thousands of years. How can his development speed be as fast as that of his followers? Gods everywhere?

And if you want to develop believers, you must first cast the statue of the god.

Like Lin Xue, the god of death, although he had obtained the divine skin and artifact early on, because he did not have an idol, he could not even be considered a believer. Even the divine spell system had not been activated, and he was unable to receive daily rewards for performing his priestly duties. If she had possessed magic a few days ago, she would have been able to fight the giant more easily.

What Mu You is more troubled about now is that when he takes Dawn City to the sky in a month, he will also take the statue to the sky with him. After that, the growth of believers in Dawn City will stagnate.

There is no solution to this situation. The only way is to create another statue of the god and leave it exclusively on the earth to continue to develop believers.

Thinking of this, Mu You took off the oil lamp and rubbed his palms on the surface of the oil lamp. This was a ritual to summon the djinn.

The shadow of the troubadour quickly emerged from the magic lamp, yawning and looking at Mu You with a troubled expression: "What's wrong?"

"Do you know how to cast a statue of a god?" Mu You asked.

The world of stars and spirits is a world specially created by the gods in order to spread their faith. As the most important thing in the spread of faith, if one statue can be built, it is said that the second and third ones will definitely be built. Otherwise, for those who are very popular, For large gods, there are often billions of believers. How can one statue be enough?

"Idol... Then we have to find the goblin clan." The bard heard this.

"The goblin clan? You mean... the goblins and fairies?" Mu You was stunned.

"Yes, although the statues of gods will not be destroyed by the Great Catastrophe, during the era switching process, many statues of gods are still easy to be damaged and lost because no one is taking care of them. The positioning of the goblin clan when they were originally created was to serve the gods of various races. A skilled craftsman who carves and repairs images of gods.

Of course, in order to avoid the uncontrolled expansion of the gods, there are also restrictions on casting statues from them: in each era, they can cast the first statue of each god for free, but they will have to pay for the second statue after that. The more you build, the higher the price will be. ” explained the bard.

"I see……"

Mu You was overjoyed after hearing this. Sure enough, you can cast statues of gods, and the first one is free of charge!

So it stands to reason that Lin Xue can go directly to the goblins to cast a death statue now, and then recruit a group of believers from the players to establish his own faith!

"The fairies..."

Thinking of fairies and fairies, Mu You immediately took out the elf horn in the game.

In the past few days, he had been fusing the divine bones in the star spirit world. The horn had already been refreshed, so Mu You blew it directly. After a few simple refreshes, the goblins and fairies were successfully spawned.

[The goblin fairy Olea Blesser appears in front of you, glances at you, but shakes her head at you, indicating that there are no tasks to be assigned to you this week. 】

"No mission?"

Mu You was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the fairies and fairies seemed to be busy helping the players pass the level in the Tower of Brave recently, so it was normal that they had no time to talk to him.

Fortunately, he didn't come here to ask for a mission this time.

[Seeing that the elf and fairy were about to disappear, you hurriedly called her. The goblin fairy turns back to look at you in confusion. 】

[You asked the fairies and fairies what price it would cost to cast the idols? 】

[The fairy was slightly surprised when she heard this, glanced at you, and shook her head regretfully: "Unfortunately, we can no longer cast the statue of the god."]

["Why?" you asked. 】

[“Because all the tools for casting idols are in my hometown ‘Bitter Garden’, but my hometown and many of my compatriots did not appear in this era. As a result, the number of existing fairies in the Star Spirit Realm is very small, and they are scattered throughout the world. All over the world, I alone cannot cast statues of gods." The fairy looked at you apologetically, and then her eyes turned to expectation. 】

["However, if you can help us find our hometown and the whereabouts of my people, I am willing to cast a new statue for the God of Order for free!"]

Along with this text, a task prompt suddenly popped up.

[Congratulations, you triggered the special mission: looking for the lost Bitter Garden. 】

[Task content: Help the fairies and fairies find the legendary 'Lost Sky City' Bitter Garden and bring it back to the star spirit world. 】

[Task reward: a statue of the God of Order. 】

"Lost...Sky City?"

Mu You looked at the mission text in surprise, and the first thing he noticed was the words 'Sky City'.

The hometown of fairies is also a city in the sky?
