Chapter 169 The Best Believers
Being inside the shell, Amberxiu only felt a powerful thrust, and in his ears was the sharp noise made by the friction between the air and the mithril shell.
It is definitely supersonic, but Amberxiu has no way of confirming how fast it is.
Fortunately, he replaced his body with mithril, otherwise his bones would have turned into bone powder the moment the shell left the gun.
The shell flew at high speed, drew a perfect arc, and landed hundreds of kilometers away.
Amberxiu crawled out of the silver cannonball and checked his body.
There were some minor faults. After all, it was hit by a cannon, and some parts inside the body became loose and deformed.
But it's not a big problem. Ambersu now has a dual-core power system, and the dark magic can even drive bones that are missing a few pieces. The deformation of small parts is not a big problem.
Amberxiu flew into the sky to look at the terrain, reconfirmed the direction, and then raised the second magic cannon.
This thing is a beggar's castrated version, the kind that falls apart after one shot, so the cost is not high.
Amber Xiu might have been reluctant to throw it away in the past, but now he has money and can just throw it away.
Reload the mithril cannonball. This thing is expensive and not disposable. Amberxiu is ready to sit in this cannonball and fly to the destination again and again.
The second magic cannon fired, and Ambersh spiraled into the sky again.
The shell fell within the expected range again, and then Amber calculated the angle again, brought out a new disposable magic cannon, and repeated the previous operation.
In this way, Amberxiu's stock of low-level materials was almost consumed, and he couldn't remember how many times he was launched. Finally, he saw the vast ocean when the sun set.
The setting sun shines on the sea, the waves crash the sunlight into pieces of gold, the scenery is very beautiful.
Amber took out the Codex of the Dead and posted a message in the group chat: [The sea at sunset is so beautiful. I haven't seen it for many years.]
[Don’t like humans: XXXXXXX! ]
[Ultraman Tiga: What's wrong with you? I said the sea is beautiful, but this irritates you?! ]
[Don't like humans: Asshole, I'm a vampire, why are you talking to me about sunsets! ]
Amber: ...
I forgot this by accident. Generally, when the undead reaches the legendary level, the sunlight has little effect on them. Amber can walk directly under the scorching sun without any problem. But it is not the same for vampires. The sunlight is extremely poisonous to them. Legendary vampires will turn into ashes if exposed to the sun.
[Dead Rose: You're already at the beach? How come so fast?! ]
Not long ago, Amber Xiu said that in the Ryan Imperial Capital, even if you teleport directly to the Cuimeng Youlin, it is impossible to reach the beach so quickly, and you can't get there even by flying.
Amber explained: [Just arrived, played a little trick to speed up the flight. ]
Withered Rose sent a private message: [You came earlier than expected. I'm afraid the messenger sent by the mute has not arrived yet. I'm afraid you will have to wait for a day or two.]
[Ultraman Tiga: Messenger? This senior seems to be quite powerful. What exactly does she do? What kind of undead are they who live in the sea?]
[Dead Rose: She didn’t tell me in detail, but I guess the race of the sea should be related to the merman.]
Murloc?
Kou-Toa, Shahua, Triton, Roka... There are many races of fishmen, and the difference in strength and camp is very large. I don't know which one this dumb senior is, and why he calls himself dumb? Unfortunately , the Withered Rose doesn't know these details. She only knows that this dumb senior seems to welcome Amber Xiu to visit, and has helped him block the sea where the artifact is in advance.
This is a big deal, it seems that this is another queen-level figure.
Since he had to wait anyway, Amberxiu prepared to take good care of his body.
After being bombarded many times, this mechanical body made of mithril could no longer hold on and was damaged in many places, requiring repair as soon as possible.
Amber Xiu retreated into his own private space and began a comprehensive restoration of his body.
Fortunately, I prepared some extra mithril when I bought it, otherwise it would be troublesome to repair it. Once this metal is cast, it is very strong and it is very difficult to re-melt it.
After tinkering around with this and that in his private space for most of the day, Amber finally had it completely new.
When he reappeared, he put on a black cloak to prevent the silver-white armor from being too conspicuous.
As night falls, the seaside is dark, but not silent.
As the tide rose, many strange-looking creatures appeared on the beach, each with a huge fish head, thin arms and legs, and a big belly. They looked very ugly, like a giant silver carp whose fins had turned into hands and feet.
Amber recognized it at a glance; it was the Kou Tao fishman.
Could it be that the messenger sent by Senior Mute was a Kuo Tao fishman? But after careful observation, Amber found that this was not the case. These Kuo Tao fishmen were obviously not here to pick anyone up. After they climbed onto the beach, they began to dig around frantically.
They dug out the shell creatures one by one, inserted their sharp claws into the gaps, and easily pried open the solid shells. After eating the soft meat inside, they collected the shells.
They seem to have a very special perception. No matter how deep the shells are hidden, they can accurately locate them and then dig them out and eat them.
After a big meal, these Kuo-Toa fishmen began to pile up a strange tower with sand, and then decorated the tower with shells and seaweed. From a distance, this strange thing looked like a strange human woman with shells on her shoulders and a crayfish head and claws.
This is Bribodup, the god of the Kuo-Toa murlocs. His style is as ugly as the Kuo-Toa murlocs, and he is at least in the top three on the list of the ugliest gods.
Interestingly, according to records in books, this "Mother of the Sea" Bribodup did not originally exist. Her real body was a broken human statue, which was then discovered by the Kou-Toa fishmen, who prayed to the statue for years and decorated it with various marine creatures. Over time, this goddess was born into the world.
It can be said that this is a god who was truly born out of faith.
This is due to the characteristics of the Kuo-Toa fishmen. They have an ability called "creating gods". This is a race that is born with the need to believe in something.
For most intelligent life forms, faith is something that is acquired through training. Humans, needless to say, believe in all kinds of gods, all depending on their own choice. Even the elves need to be educated from childhood to believe in the elven gods. Drow born underground are generally educated to become perverts who believe in the Lolth Spider Queen.
Most people believe that, without acquired training, intelligent races are born unbelievers.
But the Kuo Tao fishmen are different. They seem to have an urgent need to believe in something since birth.
Because most of the Kuo Toa fishmen have low IQs and may not have a complete heritage, some of them believe in the benthic devil fish commonly seen in the sea as gods, while others will worship any powerful life they encounter. The faith they generate is like that of the most devout believers, and even mortals can sense it and use this power.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Many races have used this characteristic of Kuo-Toa, such as the Mind Flayer, who once turned a large number of Kuo-Toa into their servants and enjoyed the power of faith they provided. There are also some weak monsters who will trick a small tribe of Kuo-Toa into worshipping themselves, and these fishmen will often believe it.
Although there are all kinds of advantages, the Kuo Tao fishmen also have a strange thing, that is, they will shape the gods according to their own imagination. If they think you don’t look like the gods they imagined, they really dare to "prune" you.
The weird and twisted appearance of "Mother of the Sea" Bribodup is due to the special aesthetics of the Kuo-Toa fishmen.
Other gods did not dare to accept this group of "high-quality believers" for fear of being contaminated by their strange beliefs and distorted into another appearance.
The sand sculpture of the goddess has been completed, and the group of Kou Tao fishmen began their kneeling ceremony.
Ancient and strange tones emanated from their mouths, accompanied by bursts of red light, and merged into the statue. This was the faith of the Kuo-Tao fishmen, and it was so strong that it could be seen with the naked eye.
Amber looked at him with envy. If he had these Kuo-Tao fishmen as his followers, the Golden Throne might be able to replenish gold steadily. After all, he was a lich, so he didn't mind looking a little more distorted. At most, he could just create a "body" that met the aesthetics of the Kuo-Tao fishmen.
Amberxiu was a man who did what he wanted to do, and he immediately began to think about how to trick these Kou Tao fishmen into becoming his believers.
But he didn't know much about the Kou Tao fishmen, and it was difficult to please them without intelligence.
"How did those mind flayers trick the Kou-Toa murlocs? Did they just use mind magic?"
Amber was about to look through her collection of books to see if she could find any useful information, but she noticed that the statue on the beach began to change.
The red power of faith of these Kuo Tao fishmen gathered together, dyeing the entire statue as if it were soaked in blood.
Amber could sense an evil aura emanating from the statue.
"The Mother of the Sea has descended? Not really. Although this deity is not very powerful, it is not so easy to be summoned."
How can other religions survive if they can just pick some shells and make an ugly statue to summon a god? Amber Xiu quickly determined that this was not a god, because the evil aura revealed did not have the pressure of a god. It was a kind of momentum that was superior to all living beings, which was very fake.
This evil aura does not have the majesty of a god, it is only pure bloodiness and brutality.
When the bright red color completely covered the entire statue, the statue's body suddenly swelled in size, as if it was pregnant.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp sickle pierced the sand sculpture's belly, and a hunched and short figure crawled out from inside.
This is a little monster wearing a red fur hat and is half a head shorter than a dwarf.
This thing is called a red hat.
When a life develops a strong desire to kill, the red hat will come into being at the place where he commits the crime and where the blood is soaked.
The Red Caps look like hunchbacked dwarfs, but they are actually monsters from the Fey Wilds. They are born to hunt down the murderer who is full of murderous intent, that is, their creator. After killing their creator, they are able to stay in this world and begin to satisfy their perverted desires through murder and slaughter.
But they are not without wisdom. On the contrary, the Red Hats can plan a careful and brilliant murder, which is as ritualistic to them as blowing out birthday candles.
Amber Xiu became happy when he saw the red hat appear.
Someone got there first and tricked these Kou Tao fishmen into becoming his followers, so it would be much easier to snatch these Kou Tao fishmen away.
The simplest and most direct way for gods to snatch believers is to start a war between them.
However, if the mute senior is a murloc, would he be related to these Kou Tao murlocs... Never mind, this group of Kou Tao murlocs have been fooled by the Red Hat anyway. Even if the mute senior is a Kou Tao murloc, he is just helping her to get revenge.
With so much power of faith right in front of you, don’t waste it!
