The Garlic Tribe was careful in their exploration of Bright Moon Island.
They knew that salt could restrain the mad lemmings, but they still did not enter the depths of the island. The little people circled the periphery, little by little perfecting the map of the outermost circle of the island.
The fishing company, which had always advocated active exploration, also repeatedly droned on the paddleboat.
“Safety first.”
“Never venture out.”
“Rats can nibble on the boats at any time, and everyone must remain on guard.”
……
Lu Yao decided to help the little people this time.
He asked Isabelle to transfer 4 Spotted Lynxes from the Western Continent, and this was the first time Lu Yao activated the Forest Elemental Creatures.
Before taking action, Lu Yao also sought Isabelle’s opinion.
–Can the lynx handle the Mad Lemmings?
“My lord, the Spotted Lynx cannot eat so many rats. However, they are natural predators and killers, and it’s very easy to deal with rats. They are good helpers in a large-scale clearing of the island’s rat population.”
And so, the Spotted Lynx of the Rat Exterminating Special Forces were sent up to Bright Moon Island by paddleboat.
As soon as the four furry feline creatures landed on the island, the moment of hunting opened up.
Lu Yao overlooked the island.
The four big yellow cats ran around in the screen, dealing with the crazy lemmings with one paw and one bite. Wherever the lynx went, there were rat corpses all over the place.
There was no combat footage of this hunt.
Only then did Lu Yao determine that the crazy lemmings were indeed ordinary animals, just a species that had been transformed and mutated by the magic potion. That’s why no level display could be seen.
The LV10 Spotted Lynx had the [Sneaking] [Bleeding] and [Rapid Strike] abilities. When they encountered the rats here, it was a lopsided descending blow.
The crazy lemmings were strong in front of the coy Bright Moon Tribe, but they were defenseless when they encountered real monsters.
The rats were killed and eventually fled into the sea and mountains.
The lynx hunt continued.
But their initial task is complete. A large area of this island was cleared, enough for the little people to get to the island safely.
Isabel made her way to the central area of the island. It was again very barren, with no vegetation in sight, just rocks and dirt all over the place.
In the central area there was a striking flat-topped hill with some sort of crumbling remains on it. There was also a crooked stone monument next to the ruins.
Lu Yao clicked on the ruins.
The screen displayed, [This is a ruin.]
Lu Yao pondered that this was most likely the Idol Ruins.
He asked Isabelle to explore this ruin to see if she could find something.
Not long after, Isabelle actually made a discovery.
“My lord, I found the [Omnipotence Stones].”
Four sparkling stones flew into the upper left corner of the screen at once.
At the same time the game interface also added a new item [Omnipotence Stone], and the display bar automatically contracted. Lu Yao clicked on it in order to see the details.
……
[Omnipotence Stone]: a basic material for forging treasures, a rare mineral.
When heated using the Flame of Faith, there is a certain probability that a treasure can be forged. Continuing to refine with Omnipotence Stone, there is a certain probability that the treasure will be strengthened and upgraded to a higher level. The higher the grade of the treasure, the more difficult it is to strengthen it with Omnipotent Stones.
……
Lu Yao now looked back.
Player Ming Shen’s [Broken Magic Pill Crucible] seemed to have been crafted with [All-Powerful Stones].
No wonder it felt like the Crucible was weaker than the other treasures, it was originally a flawed item created by a novice.
Slow down.
There are four [Omnipotence Stones] here, where did they come from? The player has been hanging for so long, is this equipment that was popped out of the idol?
Or was there an Omnipotence Stone in this place itself?
Lu Yao’s eyes were glued to the screen as his vision focused around the temple.
His fingers turned on piano mode.
–Dig around here and see if there are any other Omnipotence Stones.
–Mobilise the others to dig together!
……
Lu Yao closely watched the island and waited for feedback from the little people.
Within a few minutes, Isabelle led the people to dig out a huge pit under the remains of the temple.
The top of this pit was covered by many huge rocks, and underneath, a passageway to the underground had long been carved out, and the cave was glistening with light. There were also some dried up rat corpses inside.
Isabelle entered this pit alone and found a few more [Omnipotence Stones] inside, though she wasn’t sure what was at the bottom.
Lu Yao took a sip of cool water and combed his thoughts.
The temple was surrounded by mines of Omnipotent Stones, and Ming Shen was sitting on a mountain of treasure that was enough to make many players envious.
That was why Ming God had been trying to secretly craft props. He used faith as fuel to create treasure embryos, then melted them bit by bit to obtain finished treasures.
After calming down a little, Lu Yao brought in the perspective of the Ming God and further figured out the reason for his opponent’s behaviour.
The power of a god player came from population and faith.
Population could not be rapidly increased in a short period of time and usually required long term development.
To get explosive growth, one either had to annex other human groups or have a baby boom. However, the human base in the Tribal Era was originally small, and even if other tribes were annexed or there was a baby boom, the number of people growing would still be very limited.
Relatively speaking, the acquisition of faith was more intuitive.
Compared to the slow increase in faith brought about by population growth, the fixed gains of prop treasures were visible to the naked eye.
Take Lu Yao himself as an example.
Counting the [Ghost White Horse], he was now holding 8 props and had 264 points of faith in his pocket every day.
This was too much faster than cultivating Tribal Villain to gain Faith.
Since he controlled the Omnipotent Stone Mine, Ming Shen’s focus was naturally on mining. The sooner the finished props were manufactured, the more considerable the subsequent faith growth accumulation would be.
As for the little believers, as long as they couldn’t starve, they would be put up first.
It’s just that the Ming God probably didn’t expect that the Mingyue Tribe couldn’t even handle the [Barnyard Grass Monster]. This led to him having to do it himself, another miracle attack, another magic potion made with a crucible.
He created the Mad Lemmings that restrained the Barnyard Grass Monster, but it also caused a chain reaction to follow.
One wrong step led to another, and the mad lemmings that eliminated the barnyard grass monsters turned into a large-scale disaster that was even harder to deal with, and the weak Brightmoon Tribe was even more unable to withstand it. By the time Ming Shen reacted, everything was already too late.
The snowball that was pressing down on Mingyue Island was getting bigger and bigger, and it was impossible to stop it without special countermeasures.
Lu Yao said silently.
Go in peace, I have already avenged you. It is incumbent upon me to recast the glory of the gods.
After a while, Lu Yao turned his attention to the stone tablet.
The stone monument didn’t have any hints.
However, there were some vague traces on the ground under the stone tablet that looked as if they had a specific pattern.
Lu Yao identified them and found that the cracks on the ground formed a few crooked Chinese characters: I X You XX Rat!
In his heart, he was in agreement.
Good cursing.
However.
Although rats do deserve to die.
Although your luck isn’t very good either ……
But man you’re a real player’s shame to pull crotch to the point where you get f*cked over by a bunch of rats to the point of pinning.
……
Lu Yao switched moods and started pounding the [Omnipotence Stone].
Open world games can not lack the strengthening and manufacturing of this ring, just like the West can not be without Jerusalem, must not be savoured.
