Lu Yao selected [Ghost White Horse].
It was the same as before.
The other [Monolithic Totem] returned to the tree, and with it, the Tree of Sylvanus turned into countless pixel particles, dissipating between heaven and earth.
It was displayed in the simulator.
[The Tree of Sylvanus has fallen into a deep sleep.]
[The forest awaits awakening, please build out the forest hut and supply the forest creatures with further growth, the Tree of Sylvanus will once again give thanks for the treasure.]]
A forest hut?
What was that again?
Although Lu Yao was eager to try out his newly arrived horse immediately, but everything was in order, first come first served.
He first swept around the forest and found two Tree People.
The little tree man wasn’t growing fast, and was only LV2 today, still in the toddler developmental stage.
And that initial tree man already had an additional title of [Forest Spirit] above his head.
……
[Tree Man LV20] [Spirit of the Forest] [Created by Isabelle]
Life value: 990/990 (1580/1580)
Mana: 222/222

[Forest Elemental LV1]

……
Lu Yao repeatedly examined the Tree Man’s panel.
It wasn’t a special unit like a hero, it didn’t have six-dimensional values, only a combat data panel. In other words, the Tree Man belonged to the larger category of monsters.
The difference from before was that the Tree Man had become a parasite of the Forest Spirit. It had to stay in the forest all the time, and made a cameo appearance as a Forest Druid.
Lu Yao asked Isabelle what the Forest Hut was again.
“My lord, the Forest Hut is a kind of spectacle building that belongs to the forest element. It requires the gods to use the power of miracles and cast it with the fire of faith.”
Isabelle said.
A spectacle?
That’s fine then.
Lu Yao directly put it behind him.
He turned to drag the [Ghost White Horse] and threw it to Isabelle to equip it.
An additional (200/200) blood bar was instantly added after Isabelle’s life value, and her defence and speed were also raised by corresponding values.
In addition, an extra ability was added to her personal panel.
……
[Advanced Camouflage LV5]: enters a state of camouflage and is only recognised when close. If not recognised, the first attack will definitely deal double damage.
……
After equipping the [Ghost White Horse], Isabelle’s entire image changed as well, she was dressed in black robes and rode a white horse, her movement speed increased drastically.
The [Ghost White Horse] was essentially a prop rather than a creature, so it was possible to switch the Spirit of White Horse form on and off. However, the bonus remained unaffected, and it was only a difference in appearance.
Seeing this, Lu Yao suddenly had an idea.
I wonder if this horse can be ridden in the real world?
He tried dragging the [Ghost White Horse] out of the [Sacrifice] slot in the shrine.
A small sculpture of a white horse was added to the computer desk. It was so small that it could just stand in the palm of his hand, but the carving was so exquisite that the horse’s mane and muscle lines were outlined in a lifelike manner.
For safety’s sake, Lu Yao asked Isabelle to come over from the temple as well, change into normal clothes and go out, accompanying him to test the horse on the road.
The dormitory of the locomotive factory where Lu Yao lived was next to the city bypass highway, and it was gradually deserted a few hundred metres out.
The neighbourhood was planned for development in the early days of the city. But due to the demolition of the old house compensation has not been negotiated, and finally shelved, the city’s development centre of gravity has also completely shifted to the south.
The old houses are gradually uninhabited, and only some auto repair shops and building materials cities remain here. During the day, all kinds of vehicles come and go frequently, but at night it’s dead silent, and you can’t see a few people.
Lu Yao chose this place to test his horse because there were few people here.
He walked to a hidden intersection and looked to Isabelle, who was wearing a bodysuit and sunglasses next to him, “It won’t be discovered, right?”
“My lord, advanced camouflage is a very strong sneaking ability. Even a Blood Knight cannot recognise it without being approached.”
Lu Yao muttered in his heart.
That was your pixel world, this is the age of technology.
In case he was arrested on the spot by the surveillance head, it would be a huge trouble.
But he had prepared for it.
Lu Yao pulled up his hood and also put on his sunglasses and mask, and asked Isabelle next to him to do the same. This way even if he was seen, it would not be easy to expose his identity.
When he was ready, he pinched the [Ghost White Horse] statue in his hand and opened the horse form as soon as he thought of it in his heart.
The stone statue of a white horse thumped into a cloud of white mist and condensed into a tall white horse without a single stray hair.
The ghostly white horse had glossy fur and an athletic body, about two metres tall. It bent its knees and crouched on the ground in a very tame manner, but its eyes were glowing with a ghostly green light, just like two ghostly flames.
Lu Yao took out his mobile phone and pointed the camera at the white horse.
The camera was indeed empty, advanced camouflage indeed could not be captured by the camera.
Lu Yao and Isabelle mounted the horse one after the other, he used his mobile phone to take a selfie again and found that he could only capture the empty streets. The [Advanced Camouflage] also took effect on the two of them on horseback.
The tall ghostly white horse straightened its body, its front hooves gently kicking on the ground as if it was warming up.
Isabelle in front of them said thoughtfully, ”My lord, you only need to silently recite it in your heart, and the ghostly white horse will understand. This is a very useful high-level prop.”
“Please hold onto me, the horse is going to run.”
Lu Yao had no place to grab, so he could only hold onto Isabelle’s waist.
Isabelle’s legs gently added a clip, and the Ghost White Horse took a fitful step and flew into the street as a white residual shadow.
The speed it erupted was far beyond Lu Yao’s imagination. The street trees on both sides of the street flew back, and the gusts of wind poured into Lu Yao’s nostrils and the gaps in his lips, causing his hood to whirr, and allowing him to experience a sense of speed pushback that he had never experienced before.
He asked questions as he rode, and soon learnt this simple horse riding technique.
Lu Yao let Isabel pull over and stop her horse.
“I’m going to sit in front, you help me watch from behind.”
Isabelle then vacated her seat and sat at the back of the horse, leaving Lu Yao to control the white horse alone in front.
Lu Yao grabbed the horse’s mane with his hand and barked, “Go!”
The white horse turned into an arrow and ran forward.
Throughout the whole process of driving the horse, Lu Yao sat on the horse’s back as if he was walking on the ground, there were no bumps or unstable centre of gravity, and the feeling was even a bit unreal.
The wind brought by the high speed travelling past his cheeks, with a little sting, made Lu Yao realise that this was not an illusion or a dream.
The white horse had both speed and agility. It made its way over the rocks and railings on the ground, deftly jumping over the head of a man on a bicycle – the man didn’t notice in the slightest.
Finally, it leapt onto the main road under Lu Yao’s control and galloped all the way, leaving a small car behind.
The white horse continued to accelerate, rushing onto the city roundabout highway and turning into a white light.
Lu Yao drove this horse-form supercar, overtaking cars along the way. After racing for half an hour, he steered his horse off the Bypass Expressway.
In his heart, he felt pity at the same time.
Such a good mount could only be ridden occasionally in the middle of the night.
Being too high-profile and being noticed by the committee and other players would be more trouble than it was worth.
Safety first.
The shared bike was a little bit slower, but it was more in line with his persona as a labourer.
……
The next day, the company.
Because it was the middle of the month, Lu Yao wasn’t too busy today. Boss Huang had gone to negotiate a contract early in the morning, and everyone in the company had begun to happily touch the fish.
Lu Yao finished sorting out the information and reports and wanted to put on an eye mask to squint a little.
His afterglow saw that Sister Peng next door was showing a strange expression.
She was looking at a photo on her mobile phone.
On the photo was Fu Cheng Gang, and next to her, Sister Peng made a scissor hand gesture with a smile on her face.
Behind them were two other people standing sideways, choosing a cabbage. It was none other than Lu Yao and Isabelle who was wearing a jumper and sunglasses.
Sister Peng turned her head with a few confused eyes, “Lu Yao, who …… is this person?”
