Chapter 385 [Ability: Hurricane]
[Ability: Hurricane, the ability to control air currents. ]
[The higher the divine attribute, the more violent the airflow that can be controlled. In the gale layer above the atmosphere, the power exerted reaches its maximum.]
[This is an extremely rare ability. There may only be a handful of such abilities in the entire Ninth Era.]
When I came into contact with this white light, it seemed as if an old voice sounded in my heart.
[Although it is a bit too cheap to put this ability in the "Mythic" reward, it is all we have. 】
[Perhaps information is more important than reward, isn't it? ]
[The ability of [Hurricane] is split from a more powerful forbidden ability.]
[【Hurricane】 can be used safely and will not bring disaster. But I have to say, don't merge abilities rashly. Because the past path is still not strong enough, a stronger ability must appear to fight against those existences... Have you... thought about the future path...]
The sound seemed extremely long, and the information it contained was somewhat obscure.
Lu Yuan frowned, thinking about something.
"Ability [Hurricane]..."
He thought of the [Steel] ability that had been integrated into his [Skeleton], but for the time being, he really didn't dare to integrate this [Hurricane].
If it were to merge into it and turn into [Gangfeng], we would be doomed.
As long as the [Steel] ability is not used actively, no one will know about it; but once the long-lost [Gangfeng] appears, Lu Yuan has no idea what kind of enemy he will face.
"That's fine... I got a pretty good ability for free, and 5,000 more 'luck', that's great!"
The deposit on hand reached 65,500 yuan.
And with the development of human beings, he can get a little bit every year. He is satisfied with today's harvest.
"Let's go home and take a rest first. We are so tired." Lu Yuan commanded the big bug under his feet.
The Sky Fortress flew at lightning speed all the way, and its flying speed was quite good.
The stone body can also produce perceptions similar to those of humans. The sea breeze from high altitude blowing on the body makes people feel refreshed.
Lu Yuan even tried to sleep - well, that seemed impossible.
A few hours later, we finally arrived at the City in the Sky.
A patrolling soldier was looking at the sky fortress in the sky. After confirming that it was a member of the Zerg Legion, he was relieved, but still asked a routine question: "This is the territory of human civilization 18. Who are you? Please keep your distance!"
"It's me, Lu Yuan, you don't have to be nervous. This time when I was making equipment outside... I made some small gains." Lu Yuan sent a series of electromagnetic waves through the internal instruments, including private keys, security instructions, and so on.
"Hello, Commander-in-Chief!"
Lu Yuan suddenly had a very strange worry... He was now more than 2 meters tall and weighed more than 10 tons. Would it be a bit... offensive if he went directly into a human city? Although the body of the vision looked similar to Lu Yuan, it was suddenly several dozen centimeters taller, which was really... a bit strange.
And there is another very important problem...
Should this strange body be exposed to human civilization?
Lu Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, because if a crisis occurred in the future, this body would definitely be exposed when it was put into battle...
But if Commander Lu suddenly stopped being a human, wouldn't that immediately cause panic? Especially if a vision similar to a human being became the ruler of a civilization, it would simply trigger a strong uncanny valley effect!
So after thinking for a while, he decided to... expose half of it.
“Transform!!”
The skin on its surface kept undulating, and deep wood textures appeared in a blink of an eye, making it look like a mechanical puppet made of wood.
If you don't look like a human, then there's no uncanny valley...
【Epic War Puppet.】
[It may be a combat puppet made of the heart of the Tree of Life or some high-end stone material, named 'Greedy Demon'. ]
[Its own self-repairing ability of the Tree of Life and the energy of the underground veins can exert powerful combat power. 】
[The rest of the information is unknown. (Epic-level man-made wonder)]
[Artistic attainments: Master craftsman Lu Yuan deeply lamented the fragility of human beings during the battle with the vision. He sincerely thought "I don't want to be a human being", so he created this puppet to fight on his behalf. The artistic conception quoted in the depiction depicts the prosperity and decline of civilization. ]
"Epic things are within everyone's tolerance." Lu Yuan was very satisfied with his "disguise", or even could not be called a disguise. Under normal circumstances, without consuming spiritual energy and stripping off the Tree of Life, it was almost possible to exert an "epic" effect.
Lu Yuan didn't want to be caught by the patrolling soldiers (he didn't have his human body with him), so he activated "space teleportation" at high altitude.
The vision-level space teleportation is so terrifying that in the past, humans could only teleport one or two hundred meters before feeling dizzy, but now they can teleport directly 1.2 kilometers!
There wasn't even any feeling of tiredness.
And the cost is... 0.32 spiritual charm!
It’s expensive!
Lu Yuan grinned.
With a light "whoosh" sound, his figure appeared at the original location of the Tree of Life.
This is an area with fertile soil. As soon as my feet touched the ground, they slowly sank into it, leaving two footprints.
His current tonnage is too heavy, and he needs to find a time to integrate the power of [Hurricane] to avoid this dilemma.
Then, Lu Yuan released the tree of life in his body.
The branches overflowed from the surface of the skin and grew wildly. In a blink of an eye, the tree of life covered the sky and the sun.
This "Wooden Puppet·Greedy Demon" is connected to the Tree of Life by a green vine, as if it is charging.
Who could have thought that the "wooden puppet" was the real body? The soul separated from the strange body and returned to the human body. Lu Yuan opened his eyes, felt the weak body, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He first dealt with the patrolling soldiers from Green Hill and greeted them.
Seeing that the people on the Sky Fortress were missing, the soldiers were very depressed. Could it be that Commander Lu could disappear?
It wasn't until Lu Yuan appeared that their expressions relaxed.
One of the lieutenants saluted and said, "Report, the people on duty have been replaced! The previous company has entered the tiankeng to rest for a while."
Lu Yuan looked at these young guys and said nonsense: "Haha, say hello to them for me."
"There's nothing special that happened in these 10 months, except for the creation of this combat puppet."
"I was worried that the remaining power of the ghost would bring pollution during the creation process, so I ran a little further away. Even a little bit of pollution is still pollution. Look, this is my creation!"
He patted the 8-meter-tall wooden puppet.
The soldiers naturally couldn't see anything, but they had a sixth sense that "this big guy is not easy to mess with."
A few brave ones even had the nerve to pat them.
"Very solid."
"It's much bigger than the Source Fire Puppet. It looks like a Gundam."
After hearing the news, several human craftsmen gathered around and pondered for a long time.
No matter how you look at it, it's just a relatively delicate puppet, nothing big.
Everyone was scratching their heads and ears anxiously.
"What's the use of this! Compared with the Source Fire Puppet, how is its combat effectiveness?"
Lu Yuan remotely controlled the "Vision Body" and extended a large number of vines. With a "whoosh", he lifted up the "Leviathan" weighing thousands of tons, which came to watch! He even threw it twice like throwing a ball.
“Boom, boom!”
The wooden puppet's broad body sank directly into the ground.
Leviathan howled a few times in bewilderment. What happened? It seemed to have flown up just now? Lu Yuan suddenly felt that this remote control method was really good.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although his soul is in the human body, this "Greedy Demon" is one with him, and there is always some vague connection between them.
The eyes of the soldiers and craftsmen around them almost popped out of their heads.
That's Leviathan! Lu Yuan pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's much stronger than the Source Fire Puppet, and its endurance is also good. It's almost cost me all my private money!"
"What...grade?" one of the older craftsmen asked boldly.
"Not much, not much, just 'Epic +++'... It will soon reach immortality, and it has an evolutionary function. It can slowly evolve by swallowing ore. But it will take a long time for it to truly transform."
These guys stayed where they were, stunned for quite a while.
They looked at each other, then immediately scattered like birds and beasts, leaving in fear.
"Why are they all gone?" Lu Yuan was surprised.
There is no way, the gap is too big, it breaks my heart.
It is better to study something simple that can be learned.
After walking for a kilometer and returning to his workshop, a human craftsman suddenly burst into tears and cried: "Now Commander Lu can create 'epic' level equipment, but I am still struggling with excellent level equipment."
"I still make mistakes occasionally and waste materials. I really don't deserve the cultivation of civilization!"
Another younger craftsman comforted him: "Don't be like this, Master Jin, I can't even forge a rare grade one..."
"You are still so proud of yourself!" The old craftsman glared at him.
As a result, the group of craftsmen were all distraught and fell into a state of sorrow...
If they could be stronger and create more powerful equipment, perhaps...humanity would not have to suffer this disaster.
…
Lu Yuan was unaware that his concealment had triggered a backlash. The more he looked at this "Greedy Demon", the more he liked it. The wooden shape seemed good too, and it looked quite honest.
The old cat runs over with its tail up, looking like it has seen through you: "Comrade, seeing your cocky look, I know you must be hiding something. Tell me, what's going on with this puppet?"
"The myth...is figured out." Lu Yuan pretended to be nonchalant and said.
“Meow meow meow?!”
The old cat immediately got angry. This... this inconspicuous wooden robot? A myth?
Lu Yuan was very satisfied with the old cat's idiotic reaction. The law of smile transfer seemed to take effect at this moment.
The old cat asked, "How strong is the myth?"
"Its ability is equivalent to the Tree of Life, plus the Chaos Crystal, plus my own ability."
"Its most important function is to transform most conventional abilities into phenomenal-level abilities."
"What? Is this true?"
"It can teleport a kilometer without even taking a breath. I even think it can teleport a hundred kilometers! The Eternal Fire can also interact with the magma energy, and its power is amazing! It can also eat ore, and it only eats without pooping, and it keeps growing bigger and bigger."
The old cat's whiskers trembled, and he couldn't help but cry out, "Meow... You're rich now, take me, the old cat, to ascend to heaven."
"What's the use of ascending? Using abilities consumes spiritual energy... I don't have money." Lu Yuan grimaced when he thought of this. Almost all of his property turned to ashes! The old cat jumped up from the ground like a frightened cat: "You can't embezzle the human treasury! Now everything is in ruins and the city needs to be rebuilt, which consumes a lot of money."
“Am I that kind of person?”
"Oh, by the way, use the ore with life attributes to exchange for some pure fire attributes. Don't say that I am not good to human civilization." Lu Yuan took out the hundreds of kilograms of "eggshells" from the storage space.
It was exchanged with the human treasury in the name of the Zerg Legion.
Humans have a lot of minerals with pure fire attributes, so they don't feel bad about eating them.
The wooden puppet ate everything up in just a few bites with a "crunch, crunch".
"Oh, it can hold out for a while."
Seeing this scene, the old cat was terrified: "You have raised a money-eating beast... The annual income of a normal human being is only two or three hundred spiritual rhymes, and you eat so much for one meal."
Lu Yuan also looked gloomy: "Not just one money-eating beast, but many..."
The Tree of Life and the Poppy Tree are self-sufficient, but they grow a little slowly.
The little mirage dragon needs to be raised, right? Without external resources, it grows too slowly.
The Zerg army needs to be maintained, right? Now there is an "Anomaly Body" that eats ore like candy beans, so the expenses are not small.
But the improvement in combat power is real.
This "vision body" completely surpasses the Tree of Life and is the strongest fighting force of mankind today!
In addition, Lu Yuan also said something about the understanding and application of "luck": "'Luck' is a high-level idealistic energy, which is part of personal destiny, civilization destiny and even historical destiny."
"If we follow what 'God' says, 'luck' is the score of civilization."
"Civilization points can be converted into 'Spiritual Rhythm'. But Spiritual Rhythm cannot be converted into Civilization Points, no matter how much Spiritual Rhythm you have. It is a more advanced currency."
"How many humans are left?" asked the old cat.
"The points I earned myself were entangled in my fate. Sixty-five thousand five hundred points were all consumed..."
"As for the milestones accomplished by all mankind, 'luck' is evenly distributed across everyone's destiny, and I have no way of controlling it directly. A consensus among all people is needed to consume this high-level energy. To put it bluntly, this matter has a little bit of democratic nature."
"I estimate that the 18th civilization of mankind may have around 6,000 to 10,000." (The Sarai clan and the Mandala Empire have also achieved some milestones.) (End of this chapter)
