Chapter 553: Disaster Treasure Chest
The weather in summer changes suddenly. It was sunny just now, but now there are lightning, thunder and heavy rain.
Lu Yao and Isabel, who were on their way out to buy ice cream, were blocked under the eaves of a shop.
The rain was crackling and people on the street scattered like birds and beasts.
Lu Yao noticed that the shop owner was not there, and a 13 or 14-year-old boy who looked a bit like a Tibetan fox was guarding the shop. He held his chin with one hand and played an old-fashioned game with the other.
Lu Yao couldn't help but take a few more glances.
After just one look, he was stunned.
Oh shit!
God Simulator! This is actually a junior.
The Tibetan fox boy's face was full of confusion and dissatisfaction. He frowned and clicked the mouse on the interface, as if he had not yet figured out how to play this game.
“Rubbish game!”
The boy exited the game and clicked his mouse, mumbling, "I can't delete it."
In order to peek at him, Lu Yao found a topic to ask him: "How much is the sausage?"
"Four and a half dollars."
The boy pointed to the QR code next to the sausage grill.
Lu Yao picked up two with a tongs, put bamboo sticks on them, and gave one to Isabel. They both nibbled on them slowly.
He saw that the Tibetan fox boy stopped playing on the computer and took out his mobile phone to play King of Glory.
After a while, the rain stopped.
Lu Yao had no excuse to stay.
He took a quick look and found the boy fiddling with the keyboard. It turned out that his phone was charging, so he could only play on the computer for a while.
Not knowing what was going on, the boy opened the simulator again.
This time, the Tibetan fox boy was much more patient. He used the mouse to check between the [Props] and [Faith] at the top, and even figured out how to use faith to make it rain miraculously.
The boy's spirits suddenly brightened up, and the sad expression on his face gradually eased.
Lu Yao saw that there was no temple on the screen, only a blurry statue. This was also the initial process for a normal player.
He gave a slight reminder: "The Novice Village will be released later. Collect more faith and population. Take your time. It will be useful in the future."
"You play this too?" the boy asked.
The cell phone in my pocket suddenly started beeping.
Lu Yao smiled, turned and left.
The time for the Epoch Update has come.
…
Lu Yao took Isabel back home in a hurry.
He moved the mouse and switched the screen to the Resurrection Kingdom.
The screen was no longer completely black.
Displayed on the simulator.
【The era has been updated. 】
[The power of rules further repairs and improves this world. ]
[The non-biological factors that affect biological life have been optimized. Sunlight, temperature, air, and water have become more suitable for the birth of life. All natural organisms will grow faster, and the fertility rate will increase slightly. ]
[Light element creatures are born from sunlight. They have extremely high requirements for sunlight. The better the quality of sunlight, the easier it is for light element creatures to be born. Their existence will also curb and dispel dark and undead life.]
[Under the influence of the new environment, the birth rate of the undead will decrease slightly, the death rate will increase slightly, and the size of the population will coexist with the natural size. 】
[A new era has officially begun, and the flow of time remains unchanged. This will be the perfect time for you to reach the top of the Pantheon. 】
…
Perfect timing.
Still the same taste.
The simulator is still working tirelessly to persuade people to enter the Pantheon.
Lu Yao turned his attention back to the core content.
In this era update, there will be three changes to the Resurrection Kingdom.
First, the growth of local organisms is accelerated.
The second is the appearance of light elemental creatures.
Third, the Undead class was nerfed.
The focus is on the latter two.
According to the description, light elemental creatures restrain the undead and dark creatures, and the undead birth rate has also decreased, resulting in the skeleton ancestors who make up the main body of the Resurrection Kingdom being unable to continue to grow at a high speed.
Lu Yao clicked on the entry [Light Elemental Creatures], and his perspective immediately jumped to a plain in the Resurrection Kingdom.
Large tracts of farmland have been reclaimed here, with golden wheat fields lined up on the ground.
The skeletons ran away with their hands raised high, some leading skeleton dogs, some riding skeleton horses. What was consistent was that they all had expressions of fear on their heads.
"Monsters attack, monsters attack!"
"The terrifying golden monster is coming!"
"Soldiers, soldiers, troops, troops, we need support!"
"It's so scary! Run, run quickly!"
"Keep alive, as long as you live there is hope!"
…
The skeleton man who was unable to escape emitted golden light, fell to the ground with broken bones, and died on the spot.
What they called a monster was a golden creature that looked like a giraffe.
It has wide, curved horns like tree branches, as if wearing a heavy crown. Its tall and broad body walks slowly in the wheat fields, like some kind of natural god.
Lu Yao double-clicked the golden giraffe.
…
[Elemental Fairy LV20] Focusing Beast HP: 1336/1336 Mana: 712/812 Damage: 22 Defense: 21 Speed: 10 [Elemental Fairy]
A life condensed from a specific element. Only the elemental power can cause full damage to it, and other damage will be greatly weakened.
[Elf]
[Light Element LV15]
Light elemental creatures can quickly regenerate and recover when exposed to sunlight, with the effect depending on the level of their ability and the quality of the sunlight.
【Light Concentration Level 3】
By gathering and absorbing sunlight, the power of light elements can be stored in the body, causing a large amount of light element damage and effects at one time.
…
Lu Yao combined the background entry description to get a more detailed definition.
The light element has an innate restraint on dark and undead creatures.
In the normal world environment, the concentration of light elements brought by the sun and various luminous objects is extremely low, and the impact is limited to the strong sunlight causing the White Skeleton Ancestors to move relatively slowly and their body flexibility to decrease.
But light element creatures are different. This is the product of highly condensed large amounts of light elements.
Their mere existence will cause continuous range damage to the surrounding undead creatures. The more powerful the light elemental creature, the greater the range of damage it causes.
They are like walking radiation sources, constantly emitting high-concentration light elements that are like death rays to the undead, causing irreversible damage to the skeleton ancestors, and those who get too close will die quickly.
On the other hand, light elemental creatures usually also have the instinct to hunt and attack dark and undead creatures, and the two sides are natural enemies.
However, this restraint is not absolute.
Because the dark night when the sun sets is the golden age for the skeletons. Without the support of sunlight, most light element creatures will choose to hide to avoid being attacked in a weak state.
From the perspective of world rules, the light element has only gained huge benefits after the rules were revised, leading to the emergence of a large number of related life forms. It is an evolution at the elemental level.
…
Lu Yao was paying attention to the giraffe.
In response to the sudden appearance of this disaster monster, the army of the Resurrection Kingdom quickly dispatched and started a battle with the Focusing Beast.
But the red light damage of the mobile fortress is very limited. - 1- 1- 1 ...
Lu Yao calculated.
The basic damage of the mobile fortress is 44. According to the 21 points of defense of the Concentrator, the bombing of the fortress is weakened by 50%. The impact of this ability of [Elemental Fairy] is huge.
Facing the tickling attack, the Concentrator retaliated. The light on its body gathered on its head, and then formed a beam of light, which hit a mobile fortress. - 160 damage is not bad.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It’s just that the health bar of the mobile fortress is only 12,000, so I’m not afraid of a war of attrition.
After firing a few beams with the [Focus] technique, the Focusing Beast seemed to realize that the enemy was tough and gave up the fight, and simply left the battle and walked away.
The mobile fortress is slower than the focusing beast, but the skeleton dog and the bone chariot are known for their speed and have been following closely behind the focusing beast.
Until the sun sets.
The Focusing Beast went into a small forest.
The commander who led this operation, Skeleton Man, ordered: "Send out air forces!"
The four sky lanterns on the fortress flew high into the sky, releasing strips of light that soon locked onto a stone cave in the forest. There was a faint glow at the entrance of the cave.
The commander said again: "Morning, Journey, lock on to the target, attack immediately!"
The two mobile fortresses slowly entered the forest and began to bombard the cave with red light. Soon the light-gathering beasts inside could no longer bear it and came out to fight again.
But this time, it has an additional [Weak] status on its head, and all its attributes are weakened by nearly 1/3.
The Resurrection Kingdom's army did not let it out of the battle, but suppressed it until its health was only 10. At this time, the Concentrator fell to the ground in a dying state.
Then, the skeletons began to throw a bottle of magic potion at it, causing the Focusmon to fall into [weakness] and [coma].
After confirming that the Focusmon had completely lost its ability to resist, the skeleton soldiers wrapped it in black cloth, tied it tightly with hemp rope, and then dragged it into the iron cage on the back of the mobile fortress.
The commander said: "This operation to contain the Focusing Beast was a success! Victory belongs to Lord Yaoshen! Long live the Resurrection Kingdom!"
"Victory belongs to Lord Yaoshen! Long live the Resurrection Kingdom!"
The soldiers returned to the capital in a well-trained manner.
Lu Yao felt relieved when he saw this.
The sleepless civilization has been trained to use the power of the collective and wisdom to conquer and transform nature. Even if the opponent has an innate advantage, they have learned how to test and find flaws.
That is, the birth rate of our ancestors will drop again.
Lu Yao glanced at the population in the upper right corner.
Yao Kingdom: 4,631,209 Resurrection Kingdom: 54,329,153 The population growth of the Skeleton Men has slowed down significantly.
Lu Yao looked through the investment center in the low-dimensional game again and confirmed that the population growth rate of the Resurrection Kingdom in the past decade was 66.2%, with an annual population growth rate of 6%.
Looking at this number alone, it is not too bad, but it can no longer return to the 110% increase in the past.
The peak of the Skeleton Man population growth has passed.
…
When Lu Yao was checking the relevant entries, he suddenly discovered that there was another reminder mixed in with the update prompt.
[Nitou offers you a sacrifice.]
After many years, I saw the offerings again.
There is a small green box in the [Sacrifice] column, called the "Disaster Treasure Chest".
Lu Yao used the [True Vision Spell] to look at it and got a very vague description.
…
[Disaster Chest]: The treasure chest contains strange items. If a mortal opens it, it will release a world-destroying disaster. If a god opens it, there will be a chance to tame natural disasters.
…
disaster?
Lu Yao asked Sui Houzhu to use treasure hunting techniques to identify it, while he asked about cat grass.
"Sir, this is an item given to Mudhead of the Brotherhood by the Chronological Tribe. It comes from a destroyed cult. It is said that it contains incredible power that can only be controlled by powerful gods..."
The calico cat also knows very little.
Lu Yao noticed that a prompt popped up on 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?
He clicked on the line of words and found that the cursor was actually on the little man named Ni Tou.
Lu Yao looked up Ni Tou's history and personal entries.
Although Mudhead also led the Brotherhood to adapt to the Resurrection Kingdom, it was not yet at the point of triggering a hero. After eliminating the wrong answers one by one, the only possibility was that he really saved the Mystic Kingdom from the natural disaster that the Chief of the Time Tribe was about to cause.
Lu Yao transformed it into a hero.
The portrait of Nitou shows a man standing in front of a table. He has his arms outstretched and is smiling, while the people around him are all holding their swords at their waists, as if they are extremely nervous about his every move.
It is written below.
——Value harmony and make good friends.
Lu Yao decided to call Ni Tou over and ask again.
Soon, Totoro flew him back to the temple.
Mud Head said tremblingly: "My Lord God, that day I..."
He did not give out any additional information, but did tell Mao Cao everything he knew.
…
Lu Yao thought of a good place.
Magu Cave.
Even if a so-called natural disaster breaks out, it is only limited to Magu Cave, which is a special enclosed space.
This is the purpose of Magu Cave! It will be used for dangerous openings in the future.
Just do it.
Lu Yao threw the disaster treasure chest into Magu Cave, asked He Daoren to stand further away, and then he controlled the black bull to come over and take charge. When everything was ready, he double-clicked to open the box.
Displayed on the simulator.
[Opening the treasure chest]
【Open successfully】
The green treasure chest slowly opened.
A yellow shadow flew out from inside, and this shadow turned into a yellow dragonfly flying around in Magu Cave. Finally, it landed on the statue of Huanglong Zhenren.
Slowly, the yellow dragonfly's body twisted and turned into a yellow man again.
Lu Yao double-clicked the dragonfly man, and it showed as [Gathering Spirit].
The shape and name reminded him of a wishing spirit.
A distant relative of the Wishing Spirit?
