Chapter 603: The Temple of the Ancients

This kind of teaching is actually to move the teaching scene in the magic stone to reality. Since there is no time limit, as long as the teacher is not afraid of trouble, he can teach until the person who comprehends it learns it.

However, now that the other party teaches once, Mu You has only comprehended one ten-thousandth of the progress, and this is still the case of successful comprehension. There is a probability of failure every time you comprehend it. In fact, it takes at least tens of thousands of times to comprehend it. It can be seen how difficult it is to learn this kind of stealing technique.

In the extremely limited time of the magic stone, it is very likely that you will not be able to comprehend it completely.

However, Mu You has a pocket watch as a foundation, so he doesn't have this worry. As long as he can infinitely recall, theoretically, no matter how difficult the magic is to learn, he can learn it at once.

Of course, he won't really do this. If he really wants to learn it at once, it's too shocking. No matter how talented he is, there is always a limit. Such a mess is likely to arouse the other party's suspicion.

So Mu You only retraced a few hundred times in a very limited way, raised the comprehension to more than 1%, and then stopped immediately.

["How?" Seeing that you seem to have completed the comprehension, the bandit leader looked at you and asked. 】

【"Successful, I have understood about 1%." You answered truthfully. 】

【The bandit leader looked at you in shock, staring at your expression carefully. After confirming that you were not lying, he couldn't help but sigh: "I was right about you. Your talent is the strongest among the sparrow people I have seen so far!"】

【"According to the current progress, it may only take a few days to master all my stealing skills..." The bandit leader murmured in his mouth, his eyes wandering, his expression uncertain, as if he was thinking about something unknown. 】

【"Okay, very good! Let's continue, and try to get it done within three days..." The bandit leader came back to his senses and continued to teach with high interest. 】

This bandit taught him skills more actively than he himself. If you say there is no conspiracy, Mu You will never believe it.

But Mu You is not afraid. Anyway, he is not afraid of those who wear shoes when he is barefoot. He will be fine after learning. What can the other party do to him?

In the next two days, Mu You followed the bandit leader to learn skills except for a few hours of rest every day.

In order to avoid being noticed, the teaching was frequently interrupted. The bandit leader would basically steal from each person only once, and only steal one or two divinities each time, and then immediately change the target.

Facts have proved that the loss of just one or two divinities will not be noticed by ordinary people at all. Even if they notice it, they will not mobilize a large number of troops to track it down, because it is completely not worth it. So in two days, almost no one bothered them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to learn, Mu You also followed the bandit leader and walked around the entire Crow Tribe, and got a clear understanding of the terrain and merchant distribution of each mountain.

There are a total of 24 peaks in this mountain group, 23 of which have villages built on them. The number of people in each village is between 2,000 and 5,000, and the total population of the entire tribe is nearly 80,000!

Among them, Crowmen accounted for half, and among the Crowmen, about one-third of the population were merchants. However, many Crowmen merchants did not live in the tribe for a long time, but often traveled outside for business, so there were not as many Crowmen merchants who could stay in the mountain for a long time as imagined, probably only over 2,000.

During this period, Mu You also passed through Village No. 1 again, which was the village where he had made a big fuss before.

Now the village has returned to peace, and the major merchants have started to sell goods normally again. Mu You didn't know what the bandit leader did, but he did fulfill his promise and quietly settled the impact of his previous theft here.

In short, in two days, Mu You almost stepped on all 23 hills in this tribe.

But there was only one place that he never set foot on, that was the last hill, which was also the highest peak in the entire group of peaks, and the solitary peak that was towering into the clouds and could not be seen.

【“Why is there no one living on this mountain ahead?” You stood on the edge of Peak 21, looking at the lone peak that was submerged in the clouds across the chain bridge ahead, and asked the bandit leader next to you. 】

This lone peak ahead is so high that you can’t see the top, but in fact there are still many protruding flat lands on the hillside that can be used to build houses.

The houses on the other twenty-three hills have been built so densely that the density has long exceeded the standard, but this one is empty, which is obviously abnormal.

【“This mountain…” The bandit leader also followed your gaze and looked at the peak in the distance, sneering: “It’s not that the Crows don’t want to live there, but that they can’t live there.”】

【“Why?” you asked. 】

【“Do you know why this tribe, and even the nearby mountains and dense forests, are called ‘Shrine Mountains’?” The bandit leader asked back. 】

Mu You was stunned, and immediately remembered that when he had just entered the Crow Tribe, the name ‘Shrine Mountains Crow Tribe’ did appear on the signboard at the entrance of the village.

【“It’s because of this mountain!” The bandit leader pointed to the isolated peak in front of him: “This mountain is called ‘Jingong Peak’ because it is said that there is a shrine in the sky at the top of this mountain.”】

【“It is said?” You are puzzled by the other party’s description. 】

A mountain stands here without any obstruction, and there is an iron chain in the middle. It seems that anyone can pass through. Is there a shrine on it? Is there a need for ‘it is said’? Unless no one has reached the top of the mountain...

【“Yes, because the area around this mountain and the area above the clouds of this mountain are all surrounded by terrifying cold air. The higher you go, the stronger the cold air is. Any creature trapped in this cold air will instantly lose consciousness and be unable to move, until it stays in the ice air and is completely frozen into an ice sculpture. It will either fall down the mountain and turn into powder, or stay on it forever and be frozen into part of the mountain.”】

【The bandit leader pointed to the opposite side and explained: “If you go to the opposite side now and look up, you can see countless frozen creatures clinging around the mountain. Those are the corpses left by creatures who once wanted to conquer this iceberg.”】

Mu You heard this, controlled the character to take out the fog-breaking mirror, and looked up.

Sure enough, the text indicated that above the clouds of the mountain, there were dense remains of creatures attached, all frozen into ice sculptures.

After confirming the bandit’s words, Mu You became more confused.

【You asked the bandit, if no one can climb this mountain, then who built the temple on the top? ]

Things like the 'God's Palace' are obviously man-made buildings. It's impossible for them to be naturally generated, right?

["It's the ancestors!" said the bandit leader: "This mountain and the God's Palace above have been the territory of the ancestors for a long time. Only the abnormal physical strength of those primitive people can resist the cold of the iceberg. But since the rise of the gods, they have evacuated here and never come back."]

"Savages..."

Mu You nodded, understanding.

Before the rise of the gods, the ancestors were a race that dominated the high sky world with their physical strength. It was reasonable for them to establish a territory on the top of the mountain where other races could not go.

In this way, Mu You became more and more certain that the body of the Blood God might really be hidden on the top of this mountain! After all, there is no safer place to be imprisoned than such a dangerous environment where no one can reach.

"In other words, it is only possible to land on the top of the mountain with the help of savages..." Mu You touched his chin, which reminded him of the savage he met before.

This savage just happened to live in this mountain range of the Palace of Gods, so he didn't need to go out of his way to find the savage. Of course, the premise was that he had to convince the savage to help him willingly.

Thinking of this, Mu You searched for the term "savage" on the forum.

A large number of related posts popped up instantly below.

With the information of the Crow Tribe made public on the forum, many residents of Dawn City have come here to join in the fun recently, and a large proportion of the players have encountered this savage in the forest under the mountain, and like Mu You, they have triggered the event of "the savage asking for something".

"I'm crying, does anyone know what the paper crane given by the savage is for?" This is the first post on the homepage.

Mu You clicked in and took a look.

"Same question, this savage said he seemed to have 'seen me' as soon as we met, and asked me for something. I thought I was lucky and was going to get a nine-star bodyguard, so I gave him my relics as a gift, but he gave me a useless paper crane in return, and then ran away with my relics..."

"Fuck, it turns out that I'm not the only one who was cheated!"

"It happened to me too, but fortunately I gave him divinity, but he didn't want it and scolded me..."

"I'm the worst! I saw that you all gave me paper cranes, and I thought that the things you gave were not good enough and didn't impress the other party, so I gave him my hidden relics..."

"Then what..."

"Then, I got a paper crane, but the number was a little bigger than yours, it was 8..."

"..."

"Speaking of this, what is the use of this paper crane? I see that everyone There are numbers behind them. Are they part of a set? If you collect a complete set, you can turn it into a divine suit or something? "

"I don't know. You can try to collect a set and come back to tell me the result."

"I want to, too. Unfortunately, this wild man has never appeared since he saw me once. I have no place to give him anything."

"Is there anyone who can try to collect a set?"

"I have a paper crane (3). Who wants it? I'm selling it for 100 divine points..."

"I have a paper crane (1). I only want 10 divine points. Please help me recover my health..."

...

There are at least hundreds of "victims" in this post. After comparing, they all confirmed that they were cheated. The dozen pages after the post are basically all advertisements for selling paper cranes to recover their health.

Mu You left and flipped through other posts. Most of them were meaningless complaints. However, after many players discussed with each other, they did find something.

First of all, this savage will only appear once for each player, and once you have seen a person, no matter how much this person hangs around, the savage will not appear again.

Secondly, the paper cranes given by the savage are directly related to the value of the items given to it. The higher the value of the items, the larger the number of paper cranes given back.

Seeing these two conclusions, many people have the idea of ​​gathering all the paper cranes to see if it will trigger subsequent events.

Unfortunately, no one has done it so far, because the price to pay is too high. Giving ordinary props to the savage will only return paper cranes below 1-6. The paper cranes behind it seem to have to be something above the hidden relics.

There is no need to say much about the value of hidden relics in the high sky world. Losing three hidden relics in a row is not something that ordinary people, even those big forces may not be able to afford.

What's more, even if the relics are really hidden for the savages, it is very likely that duplicate paper cranes will be returned. If you want to collect all the paper cranes, you will need far more than just nine kinds of props. This kind of investment without guarantee is equivalent to a bottomless pit. The more rational you are, The more powerful a force is, the less likely it is to step into a trap when the direction of the wind is unclear.

But after reading these posts, Mu You became interested.

Others dare not take the risk because the income from this event is completely out of proportion to the investment. Who knows if there will be a follow-up to gathering the paper crane. If not, then at least three hidden relics will be wasted.

But Mu You is different. He also has a mission to help the Blood God gather his body, and this air palace is probably one of the mission locations. As long as he still wants to complete this mission, this temple will be around. No place to go.

And if he wants to land at the shrine on the top of the mountain, he must have the help of savages, so for him, the risks of this incident are barely equal to the benefits. If he loses the bet, he will indeed lose money, but if he wins, there will be additional gains. .

Moreover, according to his previous backtracking attempts, the Savage returned the paper crane, most likely based on the star rating of the prop!

1-9 paper cranes correspond to 1-9 star props, so it is said that as long as you give the opponent props with different star levels, you can ensure that the paper cranes will not be repeated.

Thinking of this, Mu You hurriedly contacted the player on the forum who just said that he got the No. 8 Paper Crane.

Paper cranes No. 1 to No. 6 only require ordinary props. There are a lot of people selling them on the forum. It is easy to get them all. The last three are difficult. Mu You has only seen one such example so far.

"??? Holy shit, am I right? City Lord?!" The player with the ID 'Frozen Fish God of War' suddenly received a private message from Mu You and seemed very excited. He stared at the four words "Ghost Captain" and observed repeatedly. Finally confirmed that it is not a high imitation.

"It's me." Mu You replied, and then went straight to the point: "Is your paper crane still there?"

"Yes, of course I am... but City Lord, you also want paper cranes? Don't you want to try to get the paper cranes together?" Frozen Fish God of War replied.

Mu You raised his eyebrows. Judging from the other party's word "ye", Mu You guessed that many people had already consulted him.

"Not sure yet, let's check the situation first..." Mu You answered vaguely.

"Then City Lord, how much do you quote?" the other party asked.

"How much do you plan to ask for?" Mu You replied.

"..."

"..."

Obviously, the other party doesn't want to suffer a loss, and Mu You is also afraid that the other party will open his mouth. Both sides are pulling, and neither one is willing to reveal his bottom first.

"Well, since you are the city lord, I will tell you straight away. In fact, there are more than ten people chatting with me right now. They are all leaders of various forces. If you don't believe it, I can show you a screenshot of the chat. , and the one with the most has already quoted 5,000 divinity. I didn’t agree, and I’m still waiting for others to counter-offer..."

"After all, this is just a hidden relic of mine. It's probably the best thing in my life. I really can't convince myself if I don't get more blood..."

"Let's do this. The fixed price is 6,000! I will give this paper crane to you directly. I guarantee that I will not pay attention to anyone else's higher price..."

"Okay, deal." Mu You replied directly.

"I know it's a bit too much, but... ah? You agree?" Looking at the word 'deal' on the screen, Frozen Fish God of War still didn't come back to his senses. Do you agree? He is also preparing to bargain with the other party and then have a good fight...

"Yes, just 6,000. Where are you? I'll send someone over to pay and deliver the goods." Mu You returned.

The reason why I agreed directly was that I was too lazy to argue, and the second reason was that 6,000 divinity was already far lower than the value of an 8-star item, so there was no need to continue to lower the price at the risk of being overtaken by others.

He has now learned the art of stealing, and 6,000 divinity is just a matter of care to him. If he has time to argue, he can just go to the tribe and have a look, and he has already "earned" it back.
