Chapter 284: A Battle of Life and Death
The Sand City was handed over to Slemmod for management, and Lu Yao would occasionally take a look at it.
The only city in Yunzhong Temple has gradually come alive thanks to the greening and construction by the Wuji people, ghosts, elves and squirrels.
Although there are still not many residents here, the number of trees and roses planted, as well as the settled population, are continuously increasing.
Some of the extraordinary people who participated in the martial arts conference chose to stay and settle down.
In the vast vortex world, a small city cannot cause any waves and can only be regarded as a seed.
Lu Yao's main focus is still on tinkering with the world's backend.
In the regular test area he designated, strange phenomena often occurred: sometimes sand flowed back into the air, leaving bottomless holes on the ground; sometimes there were lightning and thunder, but the rain fell in a trembling manner.
Most of the time, this place is shrouded in fog, preventing outside prying eyes.
Lu Yao gained a lot of experience from failure and eliminated some operations and methods that he thought were feasible but were actually completely wrong.
A senior once said that adaptation is not random editing.
Among various attempts to adapt the rules, the only project that Lu Yao made progress on was the Cloud Monk.
He originally planned to separate the Cloud Monks, who were bound and integrated by the power of the rules, from the abstract rule of cloud by modifying many entries and descriptions in the rules, so that this group can regain their freedom and autonomy.
Lu Yao selected the first Cloud Transformation Monk and directly deleted the [Rule Projection] from his ability.
Then the monk turned into a cloud directly, and even his past shadow disappeared completely.
fail.
Lu Yao made some fine-tuning, replacing the [Cloud] in the Cloud Monk's ability with [Mist Element].
This change caused the second Cloud Monk's body to rapidly thin and diffuse, turning into a thin mist giant that swayed left and right in the wind, like an inflatable doll in front of a store door.
fail.
…
After repeated trial and error, Lu Yao finally figured out that the best part to start with was [Undead].
After deleting this ability, the Cloud Monk began to speak again.
However, the influence of the rules was so deep that their words were often incoherent and incoherent. Monk Huayun could not hear other people's words or feedback, as if he was locked in a closed world of his own.
The several Huayun monks in the experimental area each had their own opinions.
"Clouds, go to the clouds... Above the clouds, the eggs are delicious."
"I called, I called, I called... I forgot."
"Fight, fight, fight! Fight, fight! I just want to fight!"
"Where's my stick? Where's my stick? It's a very good stick. A very good stick, very straight. I've been looking for years to find a stick like this."
"Ascension, ascension, all of them. Humans must fly, chickens must fly, dogs must fly, but mice must not fly, mice must all die..."
Lu Yao wanted to help them return to normal, but he failed.
No matter how you change the entries, add descriptions, or even re-associate multiple levels of phrases in the background, they will soon become ineffective.
Under the influence of a series of rules, the Huayun monks have different personalities.
Some still behave in a "don't attack me if I don't get attacked" manner, some are very aggressive, and some just run away when attacked... All in all, individual diversity has been restored.
After losing the [Immortal] characteristic, Huayun Monk often exhibits incomprehensible behaviors.
Lu Yao saw that a Huayun monk suddenly started bullying and beating another Huayun monk.
After fighting for a while, the two sides switched positions and the abuser became the beaten again. Both sides faithfully played their roles. The one being beaten would never fight back, and the one would definitely strike back hard when it was time to do so.
In addition, there is a more serious phenomenon.
The Monk Huayun would collapse without any warning and turn into a large cloud of mist, like a torn pillow with all the white cotton inside coming out.
Lu Yao was quite exhausted from all the repairs he did.
He gritted his teeth and persisted, and finally got the hang of it.
Deleting an entry itself will cause a chain reaction, and the subsequent butterfly effect is difficult to judge and predict.
The best way is not to delete it rudely, but to replace it with another related entry to achieve a smooth closure based on the rules.
Lu Yao searched for a long time in the tree diagram of related terms for [Undead] and found a suitable one.
…
[Fair Duel]: You will only challenge enemies of equal strength to a duel. Everything the loser has will be taken away by the winner. The effect of the duel is related to the level of this ability.
…
Although this is an offensive feature, it is the most conservative and safest among the candidates.
The rest are [Self-destruction], [Illusion in the Cloud], [Symbiote] and the like, and each ability can cause much greater lethality and destructiveness.
Lu Yao had another consideration.
Since Monk Huayun cannot go back to the past, let them enter the future in another way.
[Fair Duel] allows the Huayun Monks to be proactive and offensive, but they only initiate duels against transcendents of similar strength. Most of them are below LV20, so it doesn't have much impact.
They represent the old era and will verify the extraordinary people of the new era.
For safety reasons, Lu Yao fine-tuned the range of activities of the Huayun monks so that they would not appear near the Sand City and become qualified wild monster elites of the old era.
Slemode also notified the extraordinary people in the city, telling them about the changes in the Huayun Monk, so that they would not fight against the Huayun Monk if they were not sure.
After repeated trials proved it feasible, Lu Yao completely deleted and revised the main entry of [Cloud Monk] in the entire Vortex World, and tens of thousands of Cloud Monks regained their initiative.
The ability replacement modification consumed 50,000 Fire of Faith, which is an acceptable cost.
Lu Yao looked down at the outside of Sand City.
Soon, the first LV21 extraordinary being was challenged to a duel by the LV20 Cloud Monk. Both sides were surrounded by ring-shaped clouds, shielding themselves from external influences.
It determines both superiority and inferiority, and also life and death.
In the end, the extraordinary people of the Yao clan were defeated and killed.
His body slowly turned into large pieces of clouds and merged into the body of Monk Huayun.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I'm... I'm... Hunttail?"
"Huntertail is him, it's me..."
"Someone is waiting for me at home. Someone is waiting for me to return... It's a woman. Who is she?"
Monk Huayun muttered to himself and walked forward aimlessly.
The same situation continued to happen outside the Sand City.
In some duels, the Huayun monk won, and in others, the Yao clan won.
After being killed in a duel, the Huayun Monk will also turn into white smoke and merge into the body of the winner. This contains part of the Huayun Monk's power and their vague and confused memories.
Regardless of who wins or loses, both sides will move forward carrying their past and identity.
In addition to duels with the Yao clan, the Huayun monks will also trigger [Fair Duel] among each other. They are also competing to see who is the better warrior and who is more qualified to represent the old days.
What Lu Yao didn't expect was that the change of Huayun Monk actually aroused the enthusiasm of the extraordinary people in Sand City to challenge him. Those martial arts monks who stayed after the martial arts conference practiced hard one by one just to be able to fight against Huayun Monk from the outside world.
The atmosphere of practice and exchange in Sand City has become more intense.
This time the manual revision made Lu Yao very satisfied with the result.
As for the individual extreme extraordinary people, they have to follow the path of survival of the fittest. They are the group that is striving to reach the upper limit of the Yao clan's extraordinary abilities. Only the real struggle between life and death can bring them motivation and creativity.
Lu Yao opened a bag of lime-flavored potato chips and ate them while watching the life-and-death duel outside the Sand City.
After a while, a line of words appeared on the screen.
【The Yao tribe discovered the black magic fossil.】
【The Yao tribe discovered an unknown fossil. 】
Dark magic fossil?
Lu Yao opened the backstage and checked. Sure enough, it was the fossil of the Black Demon's body under the desert after his death.
Even the dark devil can't survive in Yunzhong Temple.
Lu Yao clicked on the second entry.
The person who discovered the unknown fossil was a Wuji man. Deep underground in the desert, he dug out a dried giant claw covered with blue crystals. The claw was about the same size as a small ground boat.
Lu Yao aimed the [True Vision Curse] at the claw fossil.
…
[Blue Dragon's Right Front Paw]: Although the right front limb of the blue dragon Tiris has dried up, it still contains the unique power of the dragon clan.
…
Lu Yao was puzzled.
Why would a dragon leave its claws in Yunzhong Temple? He clicked to try, but found that he couldn't put it into the prop column.
Lu Yao asked the local living fossil monk.
"I don't know either. This should have happened before the Monk Huayun and the Sand Walker."
The monk in charge of reception does not lie.
But Lu Yao suspected that it might overlook some details.
Lu Yao gave it a brief description of the dragon.
"Dragons? I've never left Yunzhong Temple, so I don't know what dragons are..."
"But there are similar claws and tails in the desert. There are quite a few of them. I have seen them occasionally, but I didn't pay much attention to them. They are all dead things."
besides?
Lu Yao was a little confused.
There is actually a dragon's corpse specimen hidden under the kingdom of God.
What exactly does this Yuncuike do?
