Chapter 594 Savages? Ancestors?

"Could it be because of this scorpion?" Mu You thought.

If this nest of scorpions was specially raised by the big bird for food, and he got rid of it, so it came to attack him, it would barely make sense, but Mu You had already gotten rid of several nests of vampire scorpions nearby before, why didn't there be any movement before, but this one happened?

Mu You couldn't understand it for a moment, and there was no time for him to think about it. While he was thinking, the big bird in the sky had already landed.

[A huge bird claw emerged from the clouds in the sky and stepped towards your position...]

"Backtrack!"

Mu You hurriedly pressed the watch and called the bone dragon to run away. This thing was obviously not something they could fight now.

[Time passed, and you went back to ten seconds ago. ]

[The cry of the giant bird in the sky had just sounded, and a shadow gradually enveloped the hill under your feet. ]

[Not far away, the bone dragon had already felt the threat, looked up at the sky, and roared, but it could not hide the uneasiness behind the roar. ]

[You made a retreat gesture to the bone dragon, and then took the initiative to run to the rocks behind, and the bone dragon hurriedly followed. ]

[Not long after you evacuated the original place, two huge claws fell from the sky and landed on the top of the mountain, causing the entire hill to shake a few times. The eight sharp toes on the bird claws dived deep into the rocks. Above were two slender bird legs covered with yellow-brown scales, which had been immersed in the mist above. ]

[A few seconds after the bird claws landed, a bird head poked out from the clouds, and the slender bird beak reached the position where you and the bone dragon were just now. ]

[Fortunately, you had already run far away. The giant bird's eyes swept over and quickly looked at the place where you and the bone dragon were hiding now. ]

[The giant bird wailed, took off again, circled in the air, hovered directly above you, and then landed again...]

"Backtrack..."

Mu You had no choice but to run away again according to the watch.

[…The giant bird landed again. Fortunately, you and the bone dragon had already foreseen and fled to another direction. ]

[The giant bird, which had missed its target again, made a low cry of impatience, flapped its wings and took off again, circled in the sky, stopped above you, and landed vertically towards you…]

Mu You frowned. The vision of this giant creature was too broad. With their speed, they could not escape the observation range of this bird.

But at this moment, he had no other choice but to keep changing positions.

Fortunately, this giant bird seemed to be too heavy and had no ability to walk. To change its position, it had to take off first and then land, which gave the two people room to escape.

Then Mu You played a cat-and-mouse game with the giant bird. Unfortunately, after dodging this thing five or six times in a row, he still could not escape the other party's vision.

In the middle of the journey, Mu You also tried to escape separately from the bone dragon, but the giant bird flew straight towards him, ignoring the bone dragon at all. It was obviously coming specifically for him.

【“Woo…” The giant bird let out a somewhat angry hiss after missing the target again, and then it leaped up and flew high into the sky…】

“Here it comes again…”

Mu You sighed. It was no use running away like this. It would be better to just die once and get rid of this thing. After all, you can be resurrected.

Thinking of this, Mu You simply controlled the character to stop where he was.

But at this moment…

【The giant bird flew high into the sky, circled for several weeks, but did not land again, but flew directly into the distance, and the sound became farther and farther away…】

“?”

Mu You was stunned.

What happened? He was ready to die, but the giant bird gave up first?

Mu You was a little surprised. Seeing how persistent the giant bird was just now, he thought it would not give up until it caught up with him, but it gave up so quickly…

Of course, it is always a good thing to be able to escape.

【You take out the fog mirror and look in the direction where the giant bird’s sound went away. 】

【From the perspective of the Broken Mist Mirror, you see the giant bird land on the top of a distant isolated peak and disappear. 】

【You move the Broken Mist Mirror's perspective and look around, and find that this isolated peak is located in a dangerous peak. Each of the surrounding peaks is extremely steep, like a sharp sword piercing the sky. 】

【And further out is a bottomless abyss that is impossible to pass through. From a distance, those dangerous peaks seem to be exiled by the world and imprisoned in a dangerous place that cannot be crossed on foot...】

"Dangerous place..."

Seeing this description, Mu You's heart moved.

Before, the lamp god said that the limbs and torso of the blood god were separated and suppressed in dangerous places all over the real world. Could this be one of them?

Of course, the real world is very large, and there are many such dangerous places. It may not be here, but since you have encountered it, you must find a way to confirm it.

Thinking of this, Mu You went back according to the table and entered some commands in the game.

[After the giant bird's movement faded, you called the bone dragon, described the location of the giant bird landing in the fog, and asked the bone dragon to fly to that direction to investigate. ]

[You told the bone dragon to quietly approach and take a look at the terrain, and try not to provoke the giant bird. ]

[The bone dragon readily agreed, jumped up, hovered in the air, and then flew into the distant fog. ]

[You used the fog-breaking mirror to track the bone dragon's whereabouts...]

[However, you soon discovered that the bone dragon had not flown far, and suddenly seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow. It wailed and fell straight down from the air, landing in the distant mountains and forests...]

"Huh?" Mu You was startled, what is going on? The bone dragon was attacked? But no other creatures were seen in the fog-breaking mirror...

Without enough time to think about it, Mu You hurriedly retraced his steps, and then controlled the character to run in advance in the direction of the bone dragon's fall.

[...You found the fallen bone dragon in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. 】

[The Bone Dragon fell to the ground weakly. When he saw you, he immediately wanted to get up, but he was unable to get up due to lack of strength. 】

[You hurriedly checked the condition of the bone dragon and found that its health had dropped by less than half, and there were some cracks on the skull and claws, but other than that it was otherwise fine. 】

[After the Bone Dragon recovers a little, you ask the Bone Dragon what happened. 】

[The Bone Dragon tells you that there seems to be a naturally generated no-fly zone in the space ahead. Only certain creatures can fly here. Ordinary creatures will fall like it if they fly casually. 】

"No flying... no wonder..."

After reading it, Mu You understood clearly that if there were only a few dangerous peaks, it would not be considered "extremely dangerous". Now that the no-fly restriction was added, it finally made sense.

The lonely peaks in front of them appear to be basically impossible to get past by land. Now even flying is prohibited, so it has become an isolated and desperate situation.

Mu You originally wanted to go to those dangerous peaks to see if there were any clues about the Blood God. Since he couldn't make it, it would save him from worrying about it.

After coming back to his senses, Mu You remembered that his poisonous velvet knife should be out of the furnace by now, and hurriedly clicked on the synthesis furnace to check it.

[Synthesis successful! Your Poison Velvet Knife evolves into 'Vampire Velvet'. 】

[Vampire Poison Velvet: Divine Power +10, Divine Defense +3, Agility +25. After each hit with the Vampire Venomous Velvet, it absorbs 15% of the real life of the damage caused, and reduces the target's Divine Defense by 1 point, lasting 15 Seconds, can be added. After five consecutive hits, a layer of spider web will condense on the target's body, restricting the target's ability to move. Can continue to be upgraded (cannot be synthesized with Vampire Scorpion materials). 】

God's power has been increased by two points, and divine defense has been increased by three points. In addition, the ability to suck blood has been added unexpectedly, which is indeed a 'considerable' improvement.

Most importantly, you can continue to upgrade!

Mu You nodded with satisfaction.

He is not yet sure how many times the synthesis furnace can upgrade a piece of equipment at most, but looking at the two upgrade prompts, it seems that each monster material can only make the equipment undergo a qualitative change, and then this material can no longer be used to upgrade it. promote.

But from this point of view, it is not necessary to find high-phase materials. Regardless of the level of phase, it seems that a qualitative change can be achieved at a minimum. However, high-phase materials can completely transform in one go, which saves materials.

However, low phase requires multiple synthesis. For example, the previous spider web glands took three successes before reaching the top. In addition to the several failures, the amount of materials used was huge.

Back to business, after acquiring new weapons, Mu You was about to find another monster to test the water.

As a result, a red warning prompt popped up.

[You suddenly heard a majestic shout from deep in the forest, and then the ground began to shake, as if something was approaching you quickly...]

[After just a few seconds, you see a huge humanoid figure in the dense forest in front of you, with its hands clinging between the tree trunks, dodging and moving as nimbly as an ape, flying towards you quickly. 】

"giant?"

Mu You's heart skipped a beat.

Today is quite unlucky. First, I encountered a giant bird bigger than a mountain, and then another giant came...

Originally, the highest-level monsters that players encountered in the past few days were only five-star monsters. He thought that five-star creatures were the top of the biological chain nearby, but he did not expect that there were so many powerful beings hiding in the dark.

Forget about the previous giant bird, at least it didn't cause any actual damage to the player, but this giant would be in trouble if it were real!

If you find a cockroach at home, it is likely that there is already a nest of cockroaches in the home. The same is true for giants. The presence of giants here means that there is probably a tribe of giants nearby!

The current location is too close to Dawn City, less than a hundred miles away. In terms of the span of the real world, this is no different from bumping into a giant's nest.

Next, once Dawn City is discovered by the giant and the giant sends troops to encircle and suppress it, the current Dawn City will have no resistance at all.

At the same time, other cities have not yet flown into the sky. Even if players in Dawn City want to move, they have nowhere to go. They can only watch Dawn City being captured and then living in the wilderness...

Mu You breathed out. At this time, he had no time to think too much. He hurriedly called the bone dragon to retreat, while secretly observing the figure running behind him.

Once he confirmed that this guy was really a giant, he had to immediately recruit people to fight back. He had to try his best to pin this guy down here and not let him go back to report the news.

[The speed of the humanoid figure is faster than you think. You and the Bone Dragon have just retreated a few hundred meters when the figure has already broken through the thick fog and spun around on the tree trunks above. It arrived first and landed on the ground. ahead of you. 】

[You can see clearly now that the person is only about ten meters tall. He is much shorter than the average giant. He has a stooped body, green skin, and holds a crude wooden spear. He looks like a human, but he is covered in hair. There is a tail behind it, and its face retains some obvious animal features, such as fangs and a protruding snout. It looks more like a half-human, half-ape creature. 】

[Unknown Savage (9 stars): An incompletely civilized intelligent creature encountered by the Fool’s ancestor in the world of high heaven. It has low intelligence, poor memory, certain language ability, and strong body, but cannot gain faith and cannot Use divine magic and fight purely with your body. Because of his resemblance to a primitive man, he was uniformly called "Savage" by the Fool's ancestors.

Savages generally do not attack intelligent creatures unless they are attacked first.

The savages always act crazy and say some inexplicable words. They seem to have an unknown past. 】

"Savage?"

Mu You's face looked strange. It turned out that in addition to the gods, there were other humanoid creatures in the Gaotian world...

At the same time, he felt a little relieved. Fortunately, it was not a real giant, and judging from the text, it seemed that the ancestors of the Fool had been in contact with such savages for a long time, so these savages should not be infected by the God-Eating Beast.

No matter what, as long as it's not from the camp of the God-Eating Beasts.

[...Looking at the savages who were suddenly approaching from the front, the Bone Dragon seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. It bared its teeth and claws and roared at the savages. 】

[You quickly stopped Bone Dragon’s provocative behavior. Although this savage intercepted you, it had no intention of attacking you. 】

[After the savage saw your appearance clearly from the tree, his face showed joy, he happily jumped down to the ground, touched the ground with his hands, and ran to you on all fours. 】

["Friend...have we...met? Do you...have something to give me?" The savage greeted you vaguely in a language similar to that of the gods. 】

[This savage seems to have mistaken you for someone, and is begging for something from you. You choose...]

Four options.

[Give him some divinity. 】

[Give him a prop. 】

[Give him something to eat. 】

【Attack him when he is not prepared. 】

"..."

Mu You touched his chin, admitting the wrong person?

So, this savage has met a certain Fool ancestor before, and they became friends?

In this case, can he make the mistake and use this savage... If a 9-star savage can become his 'friend', it will definitely be a strong help.

Of course, the premise is that he has to come up with something suitable to satisfy the other party.

After coming back to his senses, Mu You tried the four options in front of him one by one.

[You take out 100 divine crystals and give them to the savages. 】

[The savage looked at the crystal bag in his hand, and the joy on his face disappeared. He threw the bag aside and waved his hand: "I... hate these broken stones... It seems that you are not my friend..."]

"emmm..."

Mu You was speechless. Divinity was the hard currency of almost all real creatures. Even those small creatures with one or two stars were working hard to find and devour divinity every day. It turns out that this savage actually hates divinity, which is a bit weird...

Mu You shook his head and had no choice but to press the watch and randomly find a useless prop and give it to the other party to try.

[As time goes by, you take back the divinity you were about to take out, replace it with an ordinary relic, a 'warm scarf', and give it to the savages. 】

[The savage took the scarf you handed over, looked at it several times, and finally wrapped the scarf around his neck and said happily: "That's great... it will be... warmer at night..."]

[After saying that, the savage fumbled around in his humble package for a long time, and finally took out a 'paper crane' and stuffed it into your hand: "This is a souvenir for... a friend..."]

[You have obtained the ‘Gift from the Ancestors—Paper Crane (2)’]
