Chapter 424 The Living Giant
【Time flies, you are back before the tsunami started...】
After pressing the table, Mu You didn't rush to operate the game, but went back a dozen times in a row to look at the extracted map content.
The tsunami really arrived as soon as it was said, and there was no preparation time at all. Fortunately, he had the opportunity to go back.
The top priority now is to find a high ground that can avoid the tsunami.
Mu You opened the animal skin map and quickly browsed the whole map.
This map is too old, and many details have been blurred. Fortunately, the general terrain can still be seen clearly.
The scope of the map is actually not too large. Starting from the exit of the cliff he stepped out of, an area of about 5,000 meters was detected forward, including forests, swamps, rocky ground, coastlines and many other terrains.
"Highlands, highlands..."
Mu You continued to look back, his eyes kept moving on the map, looking for the location of high terrain.
As a result, after searching around, where is the high ground?
Although the entire map has various landforms, the terrain can be described as flat, with no ups and downs at all. The only highland is probably the cliff where they came out.
However, the exit of the tower is located on the mountainside of the cliff, and there are no roads on both sides. The only road is the bottom of the cliff. The tsunami baptism of…
Mu You had no choice but to go back again, and then hurriedly controlled the character to explore the surrounding area.
There is no high ground, and there is only ten seconds, so we can only find some bunkers around and try to see if we can survive the tsunami.
【You rushed to the foggy area on the left at the fastest speed, but unfortunately there was nothing on the way, until the tsunami hit and submerged you again...】
【Time flows, you rush to the right area...】
…
Mu You ran all the directions around him that he could choose.
It's a pity that most of the directions are 'empty'. In just a few seconds, it's too late to find the bunker.
Only in one direction, another prompt appeared.
【...You saw a slippery beetle flying and stopping on the muddy ground in front of it. Its octopus wriggled quickly and dug a hole on the ground as big as its body at a speed visible to the naked eye. 】
【Before the tsunami came, the slider beetle lay down in the pit, and the four slider wings spread out to form a complete slider plane, which tightly covered the edge of the hole. 】
【The next moment, a huge wave hits, the slider beetle is immobile under the huge wave, and you are instantly engulfed by the rolling wave...】
"Is it okay?"
Mu You was taken aback. He didn't find a bunker, but the beetle he encountered provided him with an emergency escape idea.
Mu You immediately pressed the watch again.
【Time flies, you go straight to the direction where you encountered the beetle just now. 】
【In the sound of rolling waves, you pass through the fog and see the slider beetle again. 】
【At this moment, the hole dug under the slider beetle has taken shape, and it is about to get into it. You suddenly rushed over and kicked it aside. 】
【Instead of the beetle, you drilled into the pit yourself, propped up the waterproof sliding shell you captured earlier, and covered the surface of the pit. 】
【The slippery beetle sees that the safe haven it has dug so hard is occupied by people, and suddenly becomes furious, rushing towards you, raising its forelegs to attack you. 】
【Unfortunately, before it could attack, the raging waves swept in and swept it away in an instant...】
【You are hiding under the waterproof sliding shell, only feeling the ocean current rushing past your head. 】
【Fortunately, the water resistance of the sliding shell is excellent enough, and the seawater has not penetrated into the space below, but the icy cold and water pressure brought by the seawater still make your physical strength gradually exhausted, and your life begins to slowly decline...】
"It's really good!"
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. The survival wisdom of these local creatures can indeed be used for reference. Although they are still bleeding, the speed of blood loss should be able to survive.
【The tsunami came and went quickly. After about two minutes, the tsunami gradually receded, and the outside world gradually calmed down. Your HP is -6, and your current HP is 2/37. 】
【It wasn't until the sound above your head was completely quiet that you tried to push the sliding shell and look outside. 】
【Sure enough, the waves outside have disappeared without a trace, but the ground around you has become a little wetter and muddy. 】
【You walk out of the pothole and look around. The land washed by the big waves is spotless, as clean as a mirror. 】
【At first glance, you can see some shiny things shining in the mud in front of you, which must be the legacy left by some small creatures after they were killed by the waves. 】
【You stepped forward to check and found the ‘divine crystal’*2. 】
This is probably the meaning of 'surviving a catastrophe is a blessing'. After escaping a tsunami, the surrounding area is obviously much safer, and you can also pick up loot anywhere.
This kind of divine crystallization washed over by the waves is definitely not the only one.
Mu You hurriedly searched around.
【You found the ‘divine crystal’*1…】
【You found the ‘divine crystal’*2…】
【You found a 'remnant limb of an ant beast'...】
【You condensed the wreckage of the wind ant beast and obtained the 'wind ant antennae'*1. 】
【Wind Ant Antenna: After assembly, it can sense the direction of the wind and predict the change of the wind direction. 】
【You picked up a piece of 'broken sea snail carapace', after assembling it, **** defense +3...】
…
Next, Mu You took advantage of the tsunami just ended and kept 'picking up trash' nearby. In just about ten minutes, he picked up 15 divine crystals and a bunch of materials for small creatures from other worlds.
Of course, 'small' refers to the average size of creatures in this world. For Mu You, even a fragment of a snail shell is as big as an explosion-proof shield.
Even the trophies of these small creatures are so huge, not to mention the weapons and props of those giants. The various 'relics' used by the Fools must be the products of the Fool's ancestors who have been reduced in size.
Closer to home, the happy loot gathering didn’t last long, because he wasn’t the only one picking up trash around after the tsunami was over, and all the surviving creatures in the vicinity were frantically collecting divine crystals and the remains of other creatures .
The crystallization of divinity is not only needed by fools, it is equally important to the native creatures of this world. This is the source of power for them to complete star evolution and acquire abilities.
So after only ten minutes, Mu You couldn't find any loot around.
Mu You had no choice but to stop, and continued to explore outwards according to the map's instructions.
The entire map is within the coverage of the tsunami. First, try to see if you can get out of the map, otherwise he will die with this amount of HP when the next tsunami comes.
【You have encountered a stranded shallow-water sea snail (2 stars), and it is trying to move to the water's edge. This is a gentle creature that will not take the initiative to attack other creatures. It seems that it was seriously injured in the tsunami just now, and its HP is only 1 point. This seems to be a good opportunity to make a move. Do you want to attack the sea snail immediately? 】
【The sea snail sensed your approach, and actively retracted into the snail shell. The hard pointed snail shell completely defended against your attack, and bounced back some damage. You were killed by the rebound damage. 】
【You are dead...】
【Time flies, you have bypassed the shallow water sea snail far away. 】
…
[When passing through the tall grass, you encounter a passing golden beetle beetle (2 stars). The other party is pushing a dung ball several meters high. There may be some kind of treasure hidden. 】
【You are watching curiously, the golden beetle suddenly becomes furious, thinking that you want to **** its dung ball, and suddenly pushes the dung ball towards you. 】
【You were crushed to death by a dung ball...】
…
Mu You gradually understood why the investigator's map was drawn so big.
It turns out that the range in this map is still a relatively safe area.
As he explored all the way and gradually left the map at this time, various dangers began to emerge one after another: being crushed to death by dung beetle dung balls, being sucked to death by a group of mosquitos the size of pigeons, being swallowed up by mud pits and suffocated to death...
Mu You was almost depressed all the way to land reclamation, is there really anything in this world that can bully him?
If it weren't for the pocket watch that could help him avoid various dangers along the way, he would have died more than a dozen times.
【You continue to move forward and enter an unfamiliar sandy area. 】
【You suddenly saw a strange 'stone pillar' appearing in the desert ahead. 】
【You stepped forward to check, only to realize that this stone pillar turned out to be a human finger! 】
【You dig around the stone pillar in a hurry, and gradually discover the other four fingers, as well as the palm, wrist, arm... all the way to the depths of the sand. 】
【This is actually a giant corpse buried in the sand! 】
【The Omniscient Crystal has fed back information about the bones for you. 】
【Unknown giant, height: 53 meters. Gender: male. Body Shape: Agile. Judgment of strength during life: nine stars. Grasp the authority of God: None. 】
【You accidentally discovered the remains of a giant, but it seems to be just an ordinary giant without divine power. So, what do you want to do? 】
【1. Condensate the remains and obtain the flesh and blood of God. 】
【2. Use the blood of the **** you hold to transform your bloodline so that you can adapt to this remains, so that you can extract it as your god's skin. Note: Each person can only have one kind of god's skin. If you extract this skin, your God of Order inheritance mission will automatically become invalid. 】
"Huh?"
Mu You's eyes lit up, and there was an unexpected harvest?
Unexpectedly, just after walking out of the map area, a giant remains were found.
What surprised Mu You even more was that he was able to extract this giant into a skin!
That is to say, if ordinary people can find the remains of two giants, they only need to condense one of them into the flesh and blood of a god, and the other remains can be turned into skin!
Of course, the quality of the skin is directly related to the strength of the giant's life. Although the strength of the giant's skin can be continuously improved by continuing to fuse the bones of the gods, the upper limit can only reach the level of the giant's life!
For example, the giant in front of me was a 9-star creature before his life. After merging into a skin, the strongest in the future can only display 9-star strength. If the skin breaks through 10 stars and reaches the **** level, he can only find a way to discard the current skin, and then Go find the bones of the true gods who have power.
In this world of giants, whether or not there are giant skins are two completely different concepts.
Not to mention the strength improvement brought by the giant skin, what is more important is the size advantage!
Once he has a giant skin, at least those floods, mud puddles, and dung beetle dung **** are no longer a threat to him.
The so-called 'tsunami' to fools is just a river to wade in front of giants.
Besides, if you guessed correctly, as your body size increases, your field of vision should also increase, which is why the former Silver Foxtail was able to spot him outside the mist.
Vision advantage is also a very important part in this foggy world!
Closer to home, Mu You will definitely not extract the skin in front of him, because he doesn't know how to discard the skin after extraction. If it cannot be discarded, or if some harsh conditions are required, the God of Order skin will not be available to him.
However, it is still possible to condense into the flesh and blood of a god. Even if you don't use it yourself, you can sell it to others.
Mu You immediately chose 1 and began to condense his bones and blood.
【Concentrating the bones, it is expected to end in fifteen minutes...】
It took half an hour to condense the demon god's skeleton, but here it is half less. It seems that the condensing time should be directly related to the strength of the god's skeleton.
Mu You originally thought that it would be so stable until the condensing was completed.
However, just a few minutes later, a prompt popped up in the game.
【You suddenly heard a deafening roar coming from a distance, like the roar of some kind of prehistoric monster. 】
【Suddenly, you feel the ground start to tremble, and a huge footstep sound resounds from the distant mist, and quickly approaches you. 】
【A few seconds later, a huge foot broke through the fog and appeared above your head! 】
【You can see clearly, this is the sole of a giant's foot. Judging from the size of the sole of the foot, this giant is over 70 meters tall! 】
【You were trampled into flesh by the soles of the giant without any resistance...】
【You are dead! 】
"???"
Mu You was dumbfounded.
Giant?
Didn’t it mean that the Protoss has become extinct?
In this world of giants, there are still giants alive?
So this giant is somehow related to this giant remains? Now because he excavated the giant's remains and angered the giant?
Mu You wasn't sure, so he hurriedly backtracked according to the table, and then controlled the character to stop condensing, and chose to 'turn around and run away', but he didn't have much hope in his heart. Facing a giant, it was almost impossible to run back in just ten seconds. Lose.
【You are sweating profusely, turning around and fleeing into the mist. 】
【It's a pity that within a few seconds of running, the giant's angry roar came again from behind. 】
【You were trampled to death by a giant again...】
Sure enough.
Mu You shook his head helplessly, and didn't go back. This place is obviously dead, and it doesn't matter how many times you go back.
【You are dead! 】
【Your soul was drawn back by the soul lamp, and returned to the blue lamp in the cave. your choice…】
【1. Spend 50 divinity to repair your soul, and you will be resurrected after 24 hours, but this will cause your soul to suffer damage. After resurrection, your faith will be reduced by 10%, and your experience value will be reduced by 10% (invalid for level 15 and below)】
【2. Use the resurrection stone to resurrect immediately and avoid soul damage, but the resurrection stone will be shattered. 】
Mu You glanced at it, and the price of choosing one is to deduct one tenth of belief and experience. Below level 15, experience loss can be avoided.
Since the belief system has not yet been activated, there is no need to worry about deduction of belief. It is originally 0, but the experience is more terrifying. Deducting one-tenth of the total experience is equivalent to losing more than 100,000 points of experience for him. Straight to level 20.
Mu You decisively chose the second.
【You used the resurrection stone, and immediately resurrected under the blue lamp. 】
【Your resurrection stone has cracks and is temporarily unusable. Repairing, expected to be completed in 168 hours...]
It takes a week to repair the resurrection stone. Each person can only bind one of this thing. It is useless to steal someone else's. The cooldown of the week after death is basically mandatory.
After being successfully resurrected, Mu You didn't plan to go out again for the time being. This trip to land reclamation has made him understand that without a belief system, going to that world is basically sending him to death.
Shaking his head, Mu You manipulated the character to leave the Tower of the Brave, then exited the game and opened the forum to take a look.
On the forum, there are already a lot of posts guessing whether 2459 is him.
In the group of city lords, several city lords also sent him private messages, begging for the strategy of breaking the tower.
Mu You thought about it, anyway, he has already finished the rewards for the first pass, so the strategy here can be released.
In the giant world opposite, it was too slow and difficult for him to open up wasteland by himself.
Now it is time to let more people clear the level, go to the opposite world to have a look, die, and collect as much information as possible to prepare for his next exploration.
