Chapter 4 Prophet
In many ancient cultures, a prophet refers to a person who receives inspiration from God and conveys God's will. According to this definition, this pixelated man who found the [Energy Cane] undoubtedly meets the definition.
In the pixel game world, Lu Yao also needs someone who can understand what he means, even if he can only understand a small part of it, it is better than letting a group of villains guess blindly. He doesn't want another baby to appear in the [Sacrifice] slot.
Lu Yao nodded [Yes].
Displayed on screen.
[The first prophet appeared in the Garlic Tribe. Under the leadership and influence of the prophet, everyone's intelligence has improved slightly. ]
As Lu Yao operated, a white light appeared on the little man's body, and the question mark above his head turned into a lit light bulb.
The word "Prophet" appeared above the pixel man's head.
The prophet knelt down and worshiped the statue, then he walked out of the temple.
As soon as he appeared, all the pixel people surrounded him, as if they knew that he had received the blessing of God.
The prophet said: "The sacrifices that the gods need are magical items that we cannot understand or grasp. Everyone should pay attention in the future. If you see similar things, offer them to the gods, and you will receive the gods' blessings."
"The prophet was right!"
“Listen to the Prophet!”
"Magic items, go find magical items!"
"A magical wild boar! I know there is one, a magical white wild boar, and no one has ever caught it!"
"I have seen a magical fish in the water. It eats all the meat and bones. It is very magical. God will definitely like it!"
Lu Yao looked speechlessly at the two pixel figures who spoke last.
They were all wearing leather vests. Even without any markings or names, Lu Yao could tell at a glance that they were the Pig Fish brothers from before.
These two people are very obsessed with pigs and fish, just like fireflies in the night, they don't want to be too conspicuous.
Although the prophet told the others about the characteristics of the sacrifice, no pixel people made similar discoveries in the next three hours. Most of the pixel people returned to their normal lives, growing garlic and berries and then eating them.
Soon after, two new babies were born in the tribe, and the pixel people began to take care of the two newborns.
The only person Lu Yao could control and guide was the prophet. However, he could only move the prophet to a designated location. As for whether the prophet could understand and discover something, it all depended on his own understanding.
After watching the operation for a while, it was already 6:30 in the afternoon and Lu Yao felt hungry.
He went downstairs to a small restaurant and ordered a bowl of fried rice with green peppers and shredded pork. He wolfed it down and came back in a hurry.
On the computer screen, there have been new changes in the Garlic Tribe.
A black bear from nowhere broke into the tribe. It destroyed two farmlands and a house, and there were also the bodies of two pixel men on the ground.
Most of the little people hid behind the temple, trembling with fear. The prophet stood beside the temple, holding two babies of the tribe in his arms.
The black bear was two or three times the size of the pixel man. To them, it was some kind of giant monster. It was currently tearing at the pixel man's corpse on the ground.
Lu Yao was furious.
I waited so long for two newborns, and was counting on the population to increase my faith, but you killed two of them as soon as you arrived. You want to die, right? Eat my justice from heaven!
Just as he was about to strike a bolt of lightning, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
There were two pixelated men in the tribe facing off against a black bear. They were wearing leather vests and holding wooden sticks. They circled the black bear, one in front and one behind, and kept hitting its head and butt.
They shouted as they moved.
"Pig power!"
"I'm as nimble as a fish!"
This statement was obviously made by Brother Zhuyu.
Lu Yao was a little troubled.
If lightning is used now, the two villains may also be turned into ashes, just like the leader with the horned helmet before. They need to keep some distance. The tribe can't afford to lose more people.
Lu Yao decided to take another look.
The two pixel men were very agile. They worked together, one in front and one behind. One hit the bear with a stick and then he would run away, while the other continued to attack, leaving the black bear vulnerable from both sides.
The stick didn't do much damage, but the black bear was still annoyed, and anger was rising from its head. It dropped the corpse on the ground and chased the two pixel men madly, but this time the two men didn't continue to pull, but fled towards the forest together.
Lu Yao understood.
The two villains wanted to lead the black bear out to prevent it from further harming other people.
Normally the brothers Zhuyu seem a bit unreliable, but they really get excited when faced with such a big event.
Lu Yao also immediately clicked on the miracle [Lightning], predicting in advance the direction that the black bear would run towards the forest, and trying to keep the firepower and the pig and fish brothers at the farthest distance.
A silver lightning bolt struck down on the black bear's head! The black bear was hit in the head by the lightning and fell to the ground in an instant, with its charred body smoking.
Under the lightning strike, the pig fish brothers also fell to the ground. But after a few seconds, they climbed up again and seemed to be still alive.
Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the black bear being killed by lightning, all the pixel people raised their arms and cheered, and smiley face symbols appeared above their heads.
Only a question mark appeared above the prophet's head.
Lu Yao clicked on the question mark.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The prophet thought: "How could a bear come out of the mountains? Such a big bear has never been seen nearby. Where did it come from and why did it suddenly attack the Garlic Tribe?"
He handed the child in his hand to the little man next to him and walked all the way to the charred body of the black bear.
Then an exclamation mark lit up above the prophet’s head.
"Not a bear!"
The charred bear carcass turned into a dead pixelated man. The tribe's little people immediately panicked.
"A follower of the devil!"
"The man who believed in the devil turned into a bear, so he attacked the tribe. He wanted to destroy the temple and attack us!"
"A man-eating demon, so scary!"
"Demon, horrible demon, there is a demon here! I want to leave here!"
Three of the pixel men immediately fled in all directions.
The population in the upper right corner suddenly became 25.
The faith value also dropped by 3 points. Taking into account the 20 points of faith consumed by the previous use of [Lightning] and the replenishment of [Energy Cane], there are now a total of 7 points of faith left in the temple.
Lu Yao scratched his head.
After working hard all day, we are back to the time before liberation.
It’s not easy to be a god.
What concerned him more was the newly emerged demonic element.
It sounds like demons and gods are in the opposite camp. It hasn't been long since my tribe was established when the demon followers came to attack. I don't know if it was an accident or they were targeted.
What is certain is that we will inevitably have to deal with demons in the days ahead.
The prophet found a letter in the body of a demon follower.
"The letter read: Target is the forest tribe. Kill as many people as possible while the forest tribe hunters are out."
The question mark above the prophet's head turned into a glowing light bulb again.
"I understand. This demon believer who transformed into a black bear went to the wrong place and mistook our tribe for the forest tribe, so he attacked us. Their target is the forest tribe, so we are still safe."
The other frightened little people finally calmed down.
Then the pixel people began to repair the destroyed houses and farmlands, and they all got busy.
Lu Yao opened the temple interface and found that the [Garlic] in the [Gift] slot had not disappeared, which meant that he still could not provide them with remote assistance.
The [Sacrifice] slot below was empty, and the tribal people did not send any new sacrifices.
To his surprise, two more pixel men entered the temple.
——Great God, two of our followers have performed feats far beyond their peers. Do you need to transform them into heroes? [Yes] [No]
