Chapter 174: Luck is a reward for the brave
The Shovelbeetle keeps getting defeated by the Power Grass.
But in the East Continent, they have grown into a powerful and domineering species. Even the local tyrants, the Fiery Turkeys, find it difficult to deal with them, and large tracts of forest are occupied by the fighting stag beetles.
Lu Yao looked down at the East Continent, observed the battle between the fighting stag beetle and the flaming chicken, and understood the reason.
The flames of the Fiery Chicken will cause mandatory damage to the beetle, but in melee combat, the Stag Beetle has an absolute advantage. As a melee fighter, the Stag Beetle has always relied on its shell and strength to survive, and the Fiery Chicken, a fire elemental creature, dare not get too close.
In addition, the fighting shovel beetle can fly, so the Fiery Chicken often creates flames, and the fighting shovel beetle takes off and lands in other safe areas, so it is not under much threat.
The ones who suffered the most were the people around who were being chased by the fire for no apparent reason. Animals like voles and monkeys had their homes burned down accidentally.
After a fire, it takes a while for grass and trees to grow.
When two extraordinary creatures fight, ordinary animals suffer the most.
In this context, the Fiery Chicken crossed mountains and rivers to ask for heavyweight reinforcements, the Crazy Flame Bird, from the [Fire of Aegir] in the Western Continent.
The Frenzy Birds have excellent flying abilities and are larger in size. They suppress the Stag Beetles in terms of both level and speed, treating them as prey.
With the entry of the Flame Bird into the East Continent, the surging number of Stag Beetles forced their living space into a squeeze, and a delicate balance was once again reached on land.
With the arrival of the fighting shovel beetles, the external ecology of the East Continent also changed.
The most intuitive ones are the pixel people.
They used to avoid the turkeys and were very careful in areas where these aggressive creatures appeared. But the appearance of the fighting stag beetles taught them to circumvent the beetle territory.
Although the stag beetle is also a hot-tempered guy, as long as they are given food, they don't care. Unlike the turkey, you will be chased, pecked and spit fire if you look at it.
Lu Yao paid attention to the two little people on the grassland.
Of the two pixel figures, the one wearing a wide-brimmed hat and carrying a bag is [Lie Yu], who was once secretly crying because of the snowman. The other old man is shirtless and has a circle of garlic tied around his neck. He is the elder of the Ascetic Order [Yan Jiu] who has not been seen for a while.
I don't know how the old and the young got together.
Lu Yao continued to observe.
A dialog box popped up above Lieyu's head: "You are still injured. It is dangerous to stay here. There are more and more monsters here. Don't go in. I will take you to the boat."
Yanjiu said: "Life and death are both part of training. Thank you for your kindness and for treating me. Let's go quickly, this place is already inhabited by monsters."
Lie Yu was puzzled: "Why do you have to fight monsters here?"
"In the face of extraordinary creatures, humans cannot always hide under the wings and care of gods. As a servant and follower of Yao God, I will take this first step."
“…”
Lieyu turned around and left.
Lu Yao discovered that she was just hiding far behind him, seemingly worried.
There is a ghost symbol above Yanjiu's head, and it seems that he is on the verge of death.
The old man walked silently towards the depths of the land. Not far away was the territory of the fighting shovel beetle.
Upon noticing the intruder, a sturdy level 10 stag beetle rushed over.
Yan Jiu's level has reached Lv15, which is the top of the Yao people. But he is not a combat type, with only 2 points of attack power and 7 points of defense power.
The old man and the stag beetle are in direct combat, and the message "In Battle" is displayed.
Lu Yao entered the battle interface.
Facing the mandibles of the stag beetle, Yan Jiu held the two mandibles with both hands and exerted force on both sides.
Unlike what Lu Yao expected, the old man Yan Jiu's fighting style was very rough and hard-line. He fought the beetle who was good at strength head-on without any fancy moves, using both wrestling and boxing.
Although the shovel beetle's attack could not break through Shiohisa's defense, Shiohisa's attack was also incapable of harming the opponent. Only when a lucky critical hit was made occasionally would both of them be forced to deduct -1 health points.
The confrontation between the two sides turned into a stalemate of pure will and ruthlessness.
Humans and insects refused to give in to each other, fought each other in anger, and constantly consumed each other's physical strength and blood.
In the end, Yanjiu consumed more than half of his health and killed the fighting beetle with his fists.
The old man gasped for breath, a look of weakness appearing on his head.
The new enemy is approaching silently.
A white wild bird of fire descended from the sky. It flapped its wings, igniting a fire on the grass, locking the old man and the stag beetle corpse in the middle.
The flames spread across the grassland, causing Lieyu in the distance to panic and he had to hide on a stone pestle.
The LV16 Wild Flame Bird circled in the air, watching the humans and insect corpses on the ground being devoured by fire bit by bit.
Shiohisa seemed too tired. He sat beside the stag beetle's body and did not move until he was surrounded by flames.
Upon seeing this, the Crazy Flame Bird floated down and began to eat the beetle's corpse.
As soon as it landed, a sign "In Battle" was displayed above its head.
In the battle scene, the Flamebird was caught by the wings by Yanjiu, who was on fire, and the two sides wrestled on the ground into a rolling fireball.
The health of both sides continued to decrease. - 2- 1- 3- 1 ...
A series of damage values popped up wildly above Yanjiu and Kuangyanniao's heads.
This fight to the death was even more brutal than the last one.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When the Pyrobird died, Yanjiu's health was less than 30 points. His health was still decreasing due to the burning of the flames, and his combat data panel was halved due to [Weakness].
The old man was smoking and barely standing: "This is my prey."
Lieyu ran over to treat his wound.
"No."
A dialog box popped up above Yan Jiu's head: "Please go back and tell everyone that human potential is no less than theirs. Don't be lazy, practice diligently..."
In the distance, more Wild Flame Birds were rushing towards here.
An exclamation mark appeared above Lieyu's head, and an expression of fear appeared on his face.
"It's over! There's no way to escape! These damn arsonists! My beehives haven't been collected yet, and the mead hasn't been brewed yet..."
The sea of fire was coming from all directions, about to engulf the two little men.
Lu Yao clicked the mouse.
Miraculous [rainfall] fell, instantly extinguishing all the flames.
At the same time, Isabel, who was riding a magic wand, appeared, a holy sword appeared in her hand, and she looked at the flock of birds: "Back off."
As soon as the apostles appeared, the flock of birds immediately scattered and fled without looking back.
After completing all this, Isabel left quietly again.
A big smiling face appeared above Lieyu's head: "Saved!"
"It's Miss Isabel. You can actually see the apostle coming with your own eyes! You are a person blessed by God."
Yan Jiu knelt on the ground with his head bowed to the ground: "Lord Yaoshen, thank you for your kindness and mercy... allowing me to comprehend the holy scar at the end of my life..."
Lu Yao thought to himself that you’re welcome.
Luck is a reward for the brave.
A new prompt pops up in the simulator.
——Great God, one of our believers has performed a feat far beyond his peers. Do we need to transform him into a hero?
【whether】.
There was a faint glow on Lao Yanjiu's body.
This time, Lu Yao readily nodded [yes].
After Lao Yanjiu became a hero, the ghost symbol above his head disappeared without a trace, and the [Weak] status was also erased.
The whole person seems to have become younger!
Yan Jiu prayed silently: "God, I swear that I will continue my journey of cultivation for the rest of my life, and I will never retreat or stop. I will use my fists and stigmata to fight all the extraordinary monsters in this world one by one, spread your faith and glory, and prove the path of mankind."
Lu Yao frowned, feeling something was wrong.
In the past, he was a down-to-earth scholar-monk, focusing on pilgrimage and enlightenment. How did he become an iron-fisted monk now?
