Chapter 344 I Don’t Think So
After making the declaration of love, the wise insect actively recommended himself: "I am from the curse tribe. No one here knows more about curse insects than me. If you encounter a curse insect, I can give the most accurate and reliable advice."
"I have been living in the fifth layer of the abyss for many years, so I am very familiar with the basic situation down there. I have also maintained long-term cooperative relations with some demigods who have established their own territories. If you want to enter the fifth layer in the future, I will be the best guide..."
Butterfly interrupted it: "Let's talk about faith first. As far as I know, curse insects cannot believe in gods."
"You are right."
Speaking of this, a mess appeared on the top of the wise insect's head: "This is the restriction and temptation of the natural law to us. It seems that we have the right to compete equally with the gods, but it causes us to always fight with many gods."
"The Apostle Mark is ineffective against Curse Worms, and Curse Worms cannot become gods. Curse Worms have only one way out, which is to perfect their own divine bodies and transform into the Curse Clan's own gods."
“But these are not a problem for me.”
The wise insect said: "First of all, I am weak and not the type who is good at fighting."
"My only hound now, Silver Yasha, was injured by Fuluo and has disappeared... I have no chance of winning against either the Rock King or the army over there. As a weak person, I am always willing to abide by the rules because the rules protect the weak."
"Besides, my request is very simple. What I want is the brain of a demigod, and I can only get this kind of thing if the other party gives it to me while he is still alive. A corpse is meaningless to me... I will not harm anyone's life."
It glanced furtively at Butterfly, a drooling expression appearing above its head.
A golden light flashed on the Rock King's body, scaring the wise insect so much that it took two steps back.
“…Just thinking about it.”
After being warned, the wise insect became more honest: "Actually, at my current stage, it is difficult to increase wisdom just by eating, so I have been looking for new ways. Not long ago, I lived in the territory of a demigod on the fifth floor for a period of time, and finally found that the better way now is to communicate and create."
"After communicating and learning with the intelligent tribes, I created a claw made of wood that can grab fruits from the poisonous weeds covered with thorns on the ground."
Speaking of this, a smiling face appeared on the wise insect's head.
"Creation allows my wisdom to advance! So I came here with no other purpose than to make more things similar to claws to help these local lives of yours."
"Finally, I am of great value to you. As a subject of Lord Yao, although I cannot ignite the fire of faith, I am willing to dedicate all the faith I have collected to Lord Yao to prove my piety."
After saying that, it opened its mouth and spit out fireballs.
These fireballs formed a blazing bonfire on the ground.
"All the flames of faith that I collected are here."
The wise insect took out another roll of rope from its mouth and placed it on the ground: "And this item is my most important core property. The others were consumed in the trade for the demigod's brain."
Lu Yao clicked to view.
…
[Beast Tamer's Reins LV5]: Faith +2/hour, Speed +1.
The magical rope created by the tamer gradually controls the ferocious monster and has the [Taming] effect.
…
[Taming]: Through continuous action and influence, the target creature can be tamed into an assistant that can cooperate and understand commands.
…
No wonder the wise insect calls the demigod it controls a hound. The key lies in this rope.
Lu Yao thought about it.
As the Yao clan continues to go deeper into the abyss, their contact with cursed insects will increase.
There is still too little known information about the group of cursed insects, and the Black Abyss backstage does not record much. The wise insects are a starting point.
Lu Yao collected the tribute from the wise insect.
The upper right corner shows Faith +89773.
Adding the 42,000+ faith gained from killing the cricket, this time I earned 130,000 faith in one go, which is a small gain.
With Lu Yao's permission, Bartfred said to the wise insect: "The Lord is merciful and allows you to stay here."
"Okay!"
A red heart appeared above the red panda's head. With its paws raised high, the panda knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to the screen: "Thank you for your trust and tolerance. Xiaozhi will sincerely chant your great name and contribute his strength and wisdom to this city and this level of civilization."
"You must remember your oath."
The Mountain Golem warned it: "I will be watching you."
"Don't worry, I came here to settle down permanently."
The wise insect untied the bag on his back and said, "Look, it contains the fruits of my wisdom over the years. These things will definitely be of great help to this city!"
It took out more than a dozen props from inside and placed them on the ground, like a rich man showing off rare gems.
Upon hearing that the cursed insect had brought an amazing invention, Mayor Porto and his men hurried over.
"This is the tool I mentioned before, which can be used to grab fruits from a pile of thorny grass fruits, the Grass Fruit Claw."
The wise bug picked up what looked like a large tickler and waved it around.
“Like this.”
It made a motion like it was plowing the ground. "The strawberries can be taken out safely. It's simple and convenient. Isn't it great?"
Botu and his group were full of questions.
The wise insect picked up another object that looked like a needle.
"Boning Needle!"
"Everyone should have this experience, that is, eating meat and chewing bones will cause them to get stuck in your teeth. With this thing, you can pick out the broken bones and meat tendons that get stuck in your teeth. It's very comfortable."
An exclamation mark appeared above Botu's head: "This is okay."
"Is it?"
The wise insect was visibly excited to receive praise from the current city manager of the Sifang Kingdom.
It picked up another wooden pole. On this pole were several hard nuts, some of which looked like exotic maracas.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“That’s called no worries!”
Xiaozhi swung the Nut Hammer, pounding his back, arms, shoulders and chest, explaining, "Battles in the Abyss are frequent, and everyone goes all out every time, so it's very common to get sore all over."
"With this, I have no worries. I can massage the sore and tense parts of my body. Everyone who has used it says it's good."
A question mark appeared above Botu's head again: "I don't think so."
The wise bug put down the nut hammer and picked up another object: "Manicure knife!"
"Fighting can cause injuries to extraordinary people. The most troublesome situation is the barbs on the scales. Whether it is the enemy or your own, once the broken scales pierce your hands, feet or back, it is very annoying. Digging will tear the wound, and if you don't dig, the pain will continue."
"In the past, many extraordinary people suffered greatly from this, and many of them had red, swollen and ulcerated wounds."
"With this manicure knife, it's easy to remove broken nails and hangnails."
Lu Yao discovered that the manicure knife was not a nail clipper, but a small sharp knife with a barb.
Botu took out a prop and said, "No need, we have tweezers."
After looking at the tweezers, the wise insect was surprised: "This thing seems to be... more useful."
It also introduces and recommends its other inventions.
However, except for the earliest boning needle, all others were considered useless by Botu.
In response, Botu showed it the creations of the Yao people to support the Four Kingdoms, including sky lanterns that replaced the sun, magic potions with different functions, main battle weapons, steam artillery vehicles, telescopes and glasses, ghost armor and double city armor, blast furnace honey wine...
The red panda was so excited that he saw stars in his head. "There are so many amazing creations, I don't understand them at all... I made the right choice to come to Sifang Country this time! Please teach me how to make these things."
Porto told it: "This is not easy. You have to start from the basic subjects such as theology, mathematics, engineering, and medicine..."
"I want to learn, I must learn!" the wise insect expressed positively.
Then it started to learn the Yao language and began to ask Bo Tu for advice.
Only then did Lu Yao turn his gaze back to Bartlett.
——Let’s talk about Ms. Nature.
"Yes, Lord."
A dialog box appeared above the mountain golem's head: "Ms. Nature is a gentle titled god. Her kingdom is located in a turbulent space in the Leap Zone, where few people go and there are few disturbances."
"For a long time, Lady Nature has been watching over all kinds of life in the Kingdom of God. In her temple, there are nine subordinate gods. For a titled god, this number of subordinate gods is considered small."
"One day, the incarnation of the Dark God will come. He will recruit Lady Nature to be his subordinate and fight for him."
"Lady Nature refused, and the God War broke out."
Lu Yao has always been a little confused.
Titled gods like the Fearless and the Whistleblower, who regarded their subordinates as consumables, were all followed by the gods. Why did the Dark God, who was above them, always seem to be someone no one wanted to get involved with? After all, this was also a powerful main god who was feared by all.
Very strange.
"Lord, the Dark God has always had a bad reputation. He is moody, unpredictable, and has a perverse and vicious temperament..."
"But the gods are unwilling to get close to the God of Darkness because of his characteristic, 'Darkness Dives'."
"This ability will cause all subordinate gods to sink into darkness, becoming a state of neither life nor death. They are not subordinates of the God of Darkness, but more like collections displayed at the source of darkness. Without the permission of the God of Darkness, subordinate gods cannot wake up from the deep dive..."
Lu Yao thought to himself that it was no wonder.
The Fearless and the Whistleblower are exploitative bosses who squeeze out all the surplus value from their subordinates, but compared to the Dark God, they are kind and generous.
This person directly made specimens of his subordinates and soaked them in formalin.
Naturally, no one wanted to hang out with Him.
