Chapter 593: Kunpeng's Sudden Attack
Mu You clicked on the ‘poison blade’ and took it out to check.
A dark green short sword appeared in his hand.
The short sword was slightly heavy in the hand, and the blade stretched out like a snake, with the tip slightly raised, flashing a cold green light.
The dagger’s stats were not very impressive. 20 agility was okay in the Star Spirit Realm, but in the High Sky World, especially for players who had merged with the God Bone, the four-dimensional attributes had been greatly diluted, and this attribute was dispensable. In comparison, the 5 points of God’s Power were much more important.
However, this thing had to occupy an equipment slot. Not to mention how scarce the equipment slots in the real world were, Mu You’s current equipment slot was stretched to the limit for artifacts and hidden relics. With only 5 points of God’s Power, he was not qualified to occupy a special equipment slot.
What really impressed Mu You was the subsequent additional effect: defense reduction.
Each stab can reduce the divine defense, and it can be stacked. Although each layer of defense reduction can only last for ten seconds, as long as the attack speed is fast enough, there is still a chance to reduce the defense by more than double digits within ten seconds, which is quite impressive!
For example, the poisonous velvet spider just now has a divine defense of 20-23 points, and Mu You has a total of 24 points of divine power. In addition to the star suppression, ordinary attacks are purely scraping, and the damage is basically all dependent on divine arts.
With this poisonous blade, it can reduce more than 5 points of defense when it meets, plus the increased divine power, one increase and one decrease, it can greatly improve his physical output ability. Even if the energy is exhausted, it will not fall into a state of staring blankly.
More importantly, this weapon can continue to upgrade!
As long as you continue to invest in materials, these effects you see now may have a chance to improve.
Thinking of this, Mu You immediately put the poisonous blade back into the game and started the synthesis furnace again.
[You put the poisonous blade*1 and spider web gland*5 into the synthesis furnace. ]
[Material compatibility 51%, there is a certain probability of failure, do you confirm the synthesis? 】
"Confirmed."
The spider web gland and poisonous fangs are both burst out from the spider's body. In theory, the compatibility should be OK. Mu You estimated that the "compatibility" here is probably because the spider web gland is not considered a weapon material.
However, he does not have a more suitable material at hand. Mu You tried other low-level materials one by one, and the compatibility is not more than 20%, so he can only try this first.
[Synthesis in progress, expected to be completed in 10 minutes...]
The synthesis time of poison blade + material is much shorter.
Mu You did not rush to set off, and waited patiently for a moment.
Ten minutes later, the text popped up immediately.
[Synthesis failed, you lost spider web gland*5...]
"Emm..."
It's a bad start, but it doesn't matter, he has plenty of spider webs.
Rare materials have only a small probability of appearing, but spider webs will basically burst out from every spider, and some will even burst out multiple copies. He now has more than 30 spider webs in his hand, and he doesn't believe that it won't work once.
[You put 1 poison blade and 5 spider web glands into the synthesis furnace. 】
[Synthesizing...]
[Synthesis successful! You lost Spider Gland*5, and your Poison Blade has been slightly upgraded. 】
[Poison Blade: God Power +6, Agility +20, every time the Poison Blade pierces the target, it reduces the target's God Defense by 1 point, lasting 12 seconds, can be stacked. Can continue to upgrade. 】
"Sure enough, it's a small increase..."
Mu You was speechless. The effect didn't change at all, but the God Power and defense reduction time increased slightly.
Shaking his head, Mu You chose to continue synthesizing.
[You put Poison Blade*1 and Spider Gland*5 into the synthesis furnace. 】
[Synthesis failed...]
...
[Synthesis failed...]
"Tsk, continue!"
[Synthesis failed...]
"Emm..."
...
It's a pity that the result of the synthesis furnace cannot be rolled with a pocket watch because the time is far more than ten seconds.
In fact, the result of this thing is determined the moment the materials are put in, but before the synthesis is completed and the furnace is opened, Mu You can't know the result, and can only watch the result appear without being able to change it.
This is the same as the principle of refining spider corpses to produce materials: at the moment of the monster's death, whether rare materials can be condensed from the corpse is actually determined, but Mu You must wait until the condensation is completed to see the result, and the condensation process far exceeds the time limit of the pocket watch, so it is useless to go back.
At present, the reroll effect of the time pocket watch can basically only be used for the selection of instantaneous events, and it is powerless for such long-term events.
[…Synthesis successful! Your poison blade has received a significant upgrade! ]
This random synthesis has some sense of déjà vu of krypton gold card drawing. Mu You originally wanted to simply combine twice to see the effect, but the more he combined, the more he got excited, and he used up all the spider silk unknowingly.
Fortunately, the result is not bad, a total of 35 spider silks, 7 synthesis, four failures, three successes, and the last prompt of "significant" upgrade.
After the last furnace synthesis is completed, Mu You hurriedly clicked to view the results.
[Poisonous Velvet Knife: Divine Power +8, Agility +25. Every time the poisonous velvet knife stabs, it reduces the enemy's divine defense by 1 point, which lasts for 15 seconds and can be stacked. After five consecutive hits, a layer of spider web will condense on the target's body surface, restricting the target's ability to move. It can be upgraded further (it cannot be synthesized with spider web glands). ]
"Not bad!"
Mu You nodded with satisfaction. The upgraded poison blade has a much higher value than the initial one, and it also has the effect of spider web binding. Even the name has been changed to "poison velvet knife", which can be said to be a miniature poison velvet spider incarnation.
The current poison velvet knife is eligible to compete with those relics for the equipment slot. It just happened that a new equipment slot was opened after the star upgrade, and Mu You directly put the poison velvet knife in it.
[You have equipped the poison velvet knife. Current equipment slot (5/5): Omniscient crystal, synthesis furnace, wind unicorn arm, sunlight affinity, poison velvet knife. ]
The synthesis process of the synthesis furnace must also be carried out in the equipment slot. There is no need to disassemble it for the time being. Mu You casually threw some useless materials into it and slowly drew prizes, and then controlled the character to set off.
Now the poison velvet knife prompts that spider silk can no longer be synthesized, so it is useless to continue hunting poison velvet spiders. Fortunately, there are still many high-star creatures in this mountain forest, so there is no need to worry about not having any to brush.
[You and the Bone Dragon bypassed the crowd and walked out of the dense forest, setting foot on a low mountain in the north...]
[Climbing the mountain...]
In the next few days, Mu You and the Bone Dragon wandered in this mountain range, looking for four- and five-star monsters everywhere, brushing materials to upgrade the poisonous velvet knife, and brushing divinity at the same time.
As for creatures below three stars, there are too few divinities, and the two of them are a little bit disdainful. Moreover, they have to compete with many ordinary players, and the efficiency is not as good as brushing four- and five-star creatures.
It must be said that the influx of hundreds of millions of players is indeed a devastating blow to the local ecosystem.
The creatures in the real world are not like the Star Spirit Realm, where they can be resurrected by deducting lifespans. The creatures here are really gone if they are brushed off.
The hungry players are like locusts passing through, with Dawn City as the center, spreading to the surrounding areas, harvesting all living things they can see along the way.
In just one week since the arrival of Dawn City, the entire birthplace has been cleared by players within a hundred miles, leaving a monster vacuum zone.
Nowadays, it is much more difficult for players to encounter a monster when they are exploring the land. On average, they have to wander around for one or two hours to encounter one.
The sharp decline in monsters has forced players to continue to spread outward, and information about the surrounding terrain and creatures has been continuously summarized on the forum.
Three days later, a guide on the birthplace map of Dawn City and the distribution of creatures has been publicly released on the forum homepage by the guide group.
Players rushed to read it, and then formed a team to brush specific monsters according to the instructions on the map. The efficiency was finally higher, but some popular monsters that were easy to brush were still more wolves than meat, and they often needed to fight for them. This fight, conflicts are inevitable, and many gang fights have occurred in the past few days.
In this regard, the situation of elite players such as Mu You is much better. Their target is high-star monsters, which does not conflict with the needs of ordinary players, and there is a lot of room for choice.
Mu You also took a look at the new guide of Blue-Eyes White Dragon as soon as possible, not to look at the terrain, but to look at the list of creatures, looking for monsters that can upgrade the poisonous velvet knife.
The materials put into the synthesis furnace must have sufficient affinity with the poisonous velvet knife. At present, Mu You has not been able to fully understand the rules of the mechanism of "compatibility", but he can guess the basic situation.
The poisonous velvet knife is made from the drops of the poisonous velvet spider, so you only need to find monsters with conditions as similar as possible to the poisonous velvet spider.
With this requirement, Mu You quickly locked on a monster called "blood-sucking scorpion".
[Blood-sucking scorpion (5 stars): a highly poisonous scorpion creature living in mountainous areas, using pincers and scorpion tails as weapons, with amazing defense, and also has the ability to suck blood, and extremely strong reproductive ability. In addition to the mother scorpion, each poisonous scorpion nest often has a large number of young scorpions, making it extremely difficult to kill. God's power 25-27, God's defense 30-33, real life: 3900-4200. Abilities: Real creature, scorpion tail needle, scorpion venom corrosion...]
This creature is 5 stars like the poisonous velvet spider, and is also a poisonous creature. They are also arthropods, which are one of the monsters with the most similarities nearby. Mu You estimates that the materials exploded by these two creatures should not be low in compatibility.
[...You approached a protruding rock in front of you silently.]
[In the gap between the rocks in front, a vampire scorpion was facing away from you, gnawing on a rabbit-like creature, and seemed to be unaware of your approach...]
[You made an "attack" gesture to the bone dragon approaching from the other side, and then jumped out on your own initiative, rushed behind the scorpion, waved the short knife in your hand, and slashed at the scorpion three times. A layer of green mist suddenly rose from the surface of the scorpion...]
[The scorpion discovered you at this time, and was immediately furious, turning back to bite you. 】
【The bone dragon took the opportunity to attack, drilled out from the cracks on the other side, and quickly wrapped around the scorpion. The petrifying gaze was activated, and the scorpion was immediately trapped in a quagmire, and every move became extremely difficult...】
【You took the opportunity to add two more knives, and a layer of spider web quietly formed on the scorpion, completely sticking it to the spot, unable to escape...】
【The scorpion let out a sharp hissing sound, and densely packed young scorpions drilled out from the cracks in the surrounding rocks. There were at least hundreds of them, waving their scorpion tails and surrounding you and the bone dragon. Even if you and the bone dragon have high defense, you can't withstand the siege of so many poisonous scorpions. You choose...】
【You ignored the young scorpions around you and released the magic spell "single fight"! 】
【You enjoy the exemption of the "single fight" rule, and you and the bone dragon continue to launch a righteous beating against the scorpion. 】
[Under the effect of fighting alone, the attacks of the surrounding young scorpions will never hurt you and the bone dragon, and every time they attack, a layer of order chain will be wrapped around the young scorpions. ]
[Soon, all the young scorpions on the scene were hung with several layers of golden chains, and the number was still increasing rapidly...]
[The demon scorpion had no power to resist under the dual restrictions of you and the bone dragon, and could only watch you cut its flesh with a blunt knife, reducing its life bit by bit until it was reduced to zero...]
[You made the last blow and killed the vampire demon scorpion...]
[You released "Order Destruction", and the order chains on all the surrounding young scorpions were detonated together. Each young scorpion suffered a high amount of damage far exceeding their life limit. Amid the dense screams, the dense group of young scorpions lay on their backs and were motionless. ]
[You killed the vampire young scorpion. ]
[You killed the vampire young scorpion. ]*246
...
"Comfortable!"
Mu You looked at the full screen of kill prompts in the game and let out a long breath.
Nothing is more relaxing than a screen full of loot after clearing the field with one sword.
At the same time, he felt more and more that the Order system was being shameless.
This scorpion is not only poisonous, but also has high defense and high blood. It can also suck blood. In addition, it lives in groups. A large group will appear when it is hit. It can be said that it is one of the creatures that players least want to face.
Any other god system may not be able to kill in the current situation where it is surrounded by dense creatures. It is good to be able to retreat unscathed.
But the Order system only needs two simple moves to easily clear the field without injury!
Single combat + Order destruction, one is the nemesis of human wave tactics, and the other is group harvesting. Used together, it is invincible to deal with this combination of a large group of small monsters.
After admiring the settlement screen for more than ten seconds, Mu You controlled the character to go forward to collect the loot.
[You condensed the corpse of the blood-sucking scorpion and obtained 79 divine crystals, 1 blood-sucking tail needle, and 2 scorpion shells. 】
【The title of miser is activated, and you have condensed 8 additional divine crystals. 】
After the condensation, Mu You temporarily ignored the young scorpions on the ground, but hurriedly dismantled the poisonous velvet knife and put it into the synthesis furnace, and then threw the blood-sucking tail needles he just obtained and the four tail needles he had obtained before into the synthesis furnace.
【You put the poisonous velvet knife*1 and the blood-sucking tail needles*5 into the synthesis furnace. 】
【The material compatibility is 91%, there is a high probability that the poisonous velvet knife will get a considerable upgrade, and a very low probability of getting a mediocre upgrade. Do you confirm the synthesis? 】
91!
Mu You was surprised. He guessed that the material compatibility of this scorpion might be higher, but he didn't expect it to be so high!
It is very likely, and it directly prompts "considerable improvement", which is much more generous than the previous descriptions such as "smaller range" and "slight improvement".
"Synthesis!" Mu You confirmed decisively.
[Synthesis in progress, expected to be completed in ten minutes...]
Synthesis takes a while, Mu You took the opportunity to gather the young scorpions on the ground and condense them.
These young scorpions are only one star, and each can only condense 1-2 crystals. Fortunately, there are enough of them. At last count, including the magic scorpion, this wave condensed a total of 396 crystals, which is equivalent to four to five times the income of hunting ordinary 5-star creatures!
In addition to the divinity he has gained in the past few days, his divinity deposit has now exceeded the 2000 mark for the first time, reaching 2120.
After happily dividing the divinity with the bone dragon, the synthesis time is almost up, and Mu You is just about to take a look at the synthesis results.
At this time, an unexpected prompt pops up first.
[You are counting the "huge sum" in your hand, and suddenly a bird's hoof sound is heard in the clouds in the sky, echoing in the empty valley, and the mournful sound lasts for a long time. ]
[You curiously take out the fog-breaking mirror and look up to the sky, and you see a huge shadow emerging from the clouds. 】
[This seems to be some kind of giant bird, circling in the clouds with its wings spread. Judging from the outline, the wingspan of this bird is dozens of times larger than that of the bone dragon, and the shadow it casts can easily cover the small mountain under your feet...]
[After circling in the sky for several weeks, the giant bird suddenly stopped in your direction and swooped down towards you...]
"Damn, a bird bigger than a mountain?" Mu You was confused and felt awe.
In the world of giants, the size of creatures is often proportional to their strength. What kind of star creature is it that is dozens of times larger than a bone dragon?
Why did this creature suddenly target him? What did he do to provoke him?
