Chapter 598: Empty-Handed, Thief Never Leaves Empty-Handed
"Which player is it?" The Blue-Eyed White Dragon asked on behalf of everyone.
"It's not a player, it's a real local creature, a 5-star sparrow man." Mu You said.
5 stars?
Everyone was even more confused.
If it was just 5 stars, the great god should be able to deal with it himself...
They all heard that the city lord has been taking the bone dragon to hunt 5-star creatures around in the past few days. There is a nest at one end, which is extremely ferocious.
"This kind of sparrow man is very fast and has a strong hiding ability. I'm afraid it will run away." Mu You explained.
"So that's it..."
Everyone understood it.
They naturally did not refuse Mu You's request. It was just a piece of cake.
Of course, to deal with a 5-star creature, you don't need too many people. A dozen people are enough.
Next, Mu You and everyone made some arrangements, selected ten players with stronger strength, and ambushed near the top of the mountain.
Mu You returned to the game, temporarily left the village, and teleported back to Dawn City through the green lantern on the mountain road.
[You appear in Dawn City. ]
[You come to the statue of order, and the eyes of the statue emit a soft light that covers you. ]
[Current total divinity pool: 335,000. ]
[Current total experience pool: 84.5 million. ]
[Currently unlockable branch magic: 1 star, 15 types... 2 stars, 13 types... 3 stars, 11 types...]
After being promoted to 3 stars, Mu You can already unlock all branch magic below 3 stars.
He came back this time just to unlock a magic he had seen before to deal with the sparrow man.
Mu You searched the list of 2-star magics and soon found the magic that he liked.
[Low-altitude combat: After it is turned on, creatures in the vicinity of you must maintain a certain altitude. If they exceed the warning altitude, they will be hit hard and a layer of order lock will be imposed. ]
To put it bluntly, this magic is to create a no-fly zone around you, and all creatures within the range must fight on land, which is specially used to deal with flying creatures that are good at high-altitude strikes.
If it were somewhere else, Mu You would not have to exchange a magic spell just to catch a crow.
However, the surrounding area of this mountain range is now covered by the no-fly rule. Only a few local creatures such as crows, sparrows, and big birds can fly normally. Other players, including bone dragons, are restricted by this rule.
As long as the sparrow man escapes to the sky, they can only watch him escape without any way.
This rule is almost necessary to capture the sparrow man alive!
[The branch magic spell "Low-altitude combat" has been unlocked. Order believers above the fanatic can spend 100 points of divinity to comprehend this magic spell. ]
[... You have learned "Low-altitude combat". ]
[You spent 195 points of divinity, and your "Low-altitude combat" has been upgraded to LV4. ]
After spending 100 divinity to learn low-altitude combat, Mu You casually threw some divinity to upgrade the magic spell to level 4, slightly increasing the influence range of the no-fly area.
After doing this, Mu You returned to the Crow Tribe through the soul-guiding lamp in the city.
[You appear under the soul-guiding lamp of the Crowman tribe. The nearby mountain road is empty. ]
[You return to the Crowman village and soon see the Crowman thief in front of a stall near the entrance of the village. ]
[The thief was surprised to see you come back, but immediately calmed down and pretended to continue selecting goods. ]
[You ignored the thief and walked straight to the Crowman vendor and scanned the goods on the ground. ]
["Customer, what do you like? Just tell me!" In the Crowman vendor's expectant eyes, you pointed to the three kinds of God's Attack and Defense and Life Potions in the second row and bargained: "Boss, can you give me a discount on these potions?"]
[The Crowman vendor was delighted to hear this, but he also put away his smile in an instant, turned into an embarrassed look, and hesitated: "Customer, you don't know that God's Attack and Defense Potions are rare goods. The annual output is very limited. It is not easy for us to purchase them. 1,000 per bottle is already the market bottom price..."]
[Crowman vendor After saying that, seeing your slightly frowning expression, he changed the subject: "But considering that I have a friendship with your Fool Ancestor, if you buy the three potions together, I can give you a 10% discount. Three bottles of potions are packaged for 2700 divinity. How about it?" 】
The other party proposed a bundled sale, and Mu You immediately guessed that there must be some differences in the demand for these three potions. Among them, the God Power potion is the most practical, the most in demand, and the best-selling. In the case of limited funds, everyone will definitely give priority to God Power, followed by God Defense, and finally Life Potion.
The three potions are sold in a package to avoid the embarrassing situation that God Power is snatched up early and the remaining two potions are not in demand.
Mu You doesn't care about this. He was originally going to buy all three potions. Now the cheaper the better.
[You showed a slightly moved expression and quietly activated "Existence", greatly enhancing your sense of presence. 】
【Many people's eyes were attracted by you. After hesitating for a few seconds, you told the Crowman vendor that you agreed to his deal, but your funds were a little short, so you needed to brush some divinity first, so that he could help you save a few potions. 】
【"No problem!" The Crowman vendor agreed happily. 】
【You turned around and left the village in a swagger under the gaze of the Crowman around you. 】
[As you return to Kunpeng's lair, you notice that the thief Crowman has also followed you out of the village, but he did not approach you, but followed you from a distance. ]
[You pretended to be unaware of this, and went straight to Kunpeng's lair, fed Kunpeng 30 points of divinity, and asked Kunpeng to take you back to the previous hilltop. ]
[Kunpeng swallowed the divinity, raised his head, honked his hooves, and opened his mouth to swallow you...]
[...A few minutes later, Kunpeng opened his mouth, and the environment around you has become the familiar top of the Scorpion Mountain. ]
[After watching Kunpeng fly back, you go down the mountain and come to the jungle at the foot of the mountain. After searching nearby, you soon find a nest of 3-star wild monsters and rush up with a dagger...]
Mu You let the character brush wild monsters alone in the forest, and at the same time opened the forum with another mobile phone.
At this time, in the group chat, the news about the Crowman tribe has spread, and a group of people are discussing how to raise money to summon the big bird. Everyone goes over to light the green lamp in turn.
Mu You created a group and added the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and ten other people he had just clicked. At this moment, the game characters of these people had already ambushed near his leveling point. With Lu Yao's relics to help cover up their aura, even Mu You could not sense their presence at all.
"No movement, that person won't come, will he?" One person couldn't help but speak.
Everyone watched Mu You's character kill monsters alone for more than ten minutes, but the scene was always calm, without any extra abnormality.
"Don't worry, he will definitely come." Mu You said confidently.
The crow man followed him out of the village in the end, and it would not miss such a good opportunity.
As for the fact that he had not appeared at this time, Mu You guessed that it was because the bandit was cautious by nature and was still waiting and watching until he was sure that there was no danger before he appeared.
Mu You asked everyone to stay calm and hide, while he continued to kill monsters and kept an eye on the divinity column on the panel.
More than an hour had passed like this. After he had killed seven or eight waves of monsters, Mu You suddenly saw a change in the data in the divinity column when the last monster fell to the ground.
[The divinity crystals you carry: 54 points...]
Mu You immediately went back and quickly typed a message in the group: "It's coming, get ready!"
The group, which was lively just now, suddenly became quiet, and everyone was concentrating on their own games.
After Mu You went back, he silently counted down the time.
9...8...7...
2!
With the last second left before the theft, Mu You suddenly pressed a button on the panel.
[You released the divine spell 'Silence', and all the divine spell effects within the field of vision around you immediately became invalid! ]
[While casting the spell, you noticed that a hidden crow man quietly appeared three meters behind you, keeping a sneaky movement, and looked into your eyes, and was stunned in disbelief. ]
[At the same time, a bone dragon emerged from the ground not far away, roaring and rushing towards the Crow Man, and the many Fools hiding around also jumped out and rushed towards the Crow Man. ]
[The Crow Man was shocked and turned around and fled. After running two steps, he instinctively turned into a crow and took off...]
[You were well prepared and chased after him like a shadow. At the moment the opponent took off, you released the "low-altitude combat". ]
[A halo formed above your head, and the crow that had just taken off was hit hard and fell straight down from mid-air, just falling into the encirclement of the crowd. ]
[The crowd and the bone dragon rushed up and launched an inhumane beating on the crow. The Crow Man struggled desperately to break through the siege, but unfortunately, under the blockade of the silent barrier, the Crow Man had nowhere to display his skills and could only be beaten in embarrassment. 】
【Your blood-sucking poison wool hit the crow many times, and the crow's defense was greatly reduced. At the same time, a layer of spider web gradually formed on the crow, sticking it in place...】
The next step was a simple beating process, nothing much to say. More than a dozen top players plus a dragon, and a silent barrier to block the magic, if it can still run away, they should not open up the wasteland, and return to the Star Spirit Realm to retire as soon as possible.
Two minutes later, the crow with more than 7,000 blood was seriously injured and had completely lost the power to resist. He was entangled by the bone dragon with his body, staring at him with the petrified eye, unable to move.
"Okay, stop fighting." Seeing that the opponent's blood volume was only in the double digits, Mu You hurriedly stopped everyone. He needed to capture this guy alive, because the bounty order only wanted him alive.
At the command, everyone stopped.
Mu You controlled the character to search forward.
【You groped around on the seriously injured bandit. 】
【You got the 'Bandit Mask', 'Bandit Gloves', and 'Bandit Backpack'. 】
【You found 3827 crystals of divinity in the ‘bandit backpack’! 】
Nearly 4,000 divinity were found in the bag alone, and 1,000 could be exchanged for the bounty order. This wave not only earned back the divinity that was lost before, but also earned an extra 2,000 or 3,000, not to mention the three props found!
“Come on, come on, everyone who sees it gets a share.”
Mu You was not stingy. As soon as he got the divinity, he immediately gave 100 to each of the ten people present as a reward.
Everyone declined at first, but under Mu You’s insistence, they all accepted it with a smile.
100 divinity is equivalent to the income from hunting a 5-star creature alone. For them, it usually takes half a day to get it, and they are likely to be injured. Now they can get it without injury after squatting for an hour. Such an easy job, they will take as much as they want.
"City Lord, we'll leave first..."
"Contact me if you need anything..."
"See you later!"
...
After the spoils were divided, everyone said hello and left. Soon, only Mu You and Bone Dragon were left at the scene.
Mu You had time to check the effects of the three items.
[Bandit Mask: A special mask made by Sparrow Man. After assembling it, the Sparrow Man's appearance can be perfectly transformed into that of Crow Man. Even Crow Man himself can hardly tell the difference. Only Sparrow Man can equip it. ]
[Bandit Gloves: A thief with nothing can never leave empty-handed. After assembling it, you gain the ability to steal. If you are within three meters of a target carrying a divine crystal, you can randomly steal a certain amount of the target's divinity, but there is a certain probability that the theft will fail. If it fails, you will be exposed. You can improve your stealing proficiency through acquired practice, reduce the failure rate, and control the proportion of stolen divinity to a certain extent. Only Sparrow Man can equip it. ]
[Bandit Backpack: A backpack specifically for storing divine crystals. The upper limit of the capacity is 100,000. After assembling it, the stolen divinity will appear directly in the backpack. When assembling it, the assembly bar +2. Only Sparrow People can equip it. 】
"All good stuff!"
Mu You was delighted after reading it. The descriptions of the three items were all very eye-catching.
The first thing Mu You noticed was the 'Bandit Backpack'. Not to mention how much divinity it can store, this thing can actually add two equipment slots at once!
This means that when he equips this backpack, he can also get an extra equipment slot for free. Just this point, the value of this thing is no less than that of hidden relics!
As for the remaining masks and gloves, let alone.
The bandit mask is the basis for Sparrow People to pretend to be Crow People and mix in the Crow People tribe. With this mask, no one can reveal their identity unless they expose themselves.
And the bandit gloves are the core props of the Sparrow People, a thieving race. This thing reminds Mu You of the 'Thief Saint Gloves' in the Star Spirit Realm. They are also gloves that give the ability to steal, and even the appearance is somewhat similar. Mu You even suspects that the Thief Saint Gloves in the Star Spirit Realm are designed based on the bandit gloves...
Since Mu You got the Thief Saint Gloves, he has not been able to use them because of the limitation of the skin. (The level of the Thief's Gloves is too high, so they need to be downgraded with Degradation Stones before they can be used, and Mu You has not encountered Degradation Stones yet.)
I didn't expect that the Thief's Gloves had not been developed by him yet, but now in the real world, he coincidentally got a higher-level real prop first...
Unfortunately, this glove also has restrictions: only sparrow people can equip it, which directly blocks the possibility of other races using this glove, unless someone can transform into a sparrow person...
Wait...transform into a sparrow person...
Mu You suddenly remembered something.
Among the blood rules he obtained in the Vampire Paradise before, there is a rare blood rule called "Transfiguration", which is the signature ability of the Shapeshifter Clan: after killing a certain creature, you can perfectly transform into the other person's appearance.
If he learns this blood rule and kills a sparrow person with his own hands, wouldn't he be able to equip these props?
