Chapter 604: Jielin
"The city lord is generous!"
"My character is near Dawn City, I will return to the city soon." The Frozen Fish God of War was overjoyed and quickly finalized it, controlling the character to walk back.
On Mu You's side, he called a few clones.
Now the night watchman and Linglong have already found a soul lamp in their respective exploration directions. Together with Lin Xue, Xiaoya and others, they were directly teleported back to Dawn City and successfully exchanged the things on behalf of Mu You.
The remaining paper cranes from number 1 to 6 are easy to deal with, because they can be exchanged with ordinary props. Many people have exchanged them on the forum, and the prices are also very low.
Then Mu You looked for it on the forum again, and soon negotiated with five of the sellers. After spending a small price, he successfully exchanged paper cranes from number 2 to 6.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, eight..."
In the pet shop, Mu You placed the paper cranes he had collected on the table.
Seven kinds of paper cranes, as expected, each of them is a different style, but all of them only show "gifts from the ancestors" without any effect.
"We still need 'seven' and 'nine'..."
Mu You pondered, opened the ring, and counted the items he had.
He didn't have any items above seven stars other than the relics, so he had to give up a seven-star and nine-star hidden relic for the missing seven and nine.
Mu You actually had quite a few hidden relics, a total of 10, but most of them were items he used daily, like the pocket watch omniscience crystal, which he couldn't throw away for this task.
After carefully picking all the relics, Mu You finally took out one of the azure beads.
[Blessing of the Moon God: 8.5 stars, hidden relic, before each battle, if you are under a full moon, you will be blessed by the Moon God, and your life will automatically recover to full value. 】
This relic is actually very effective, but it only works for believers of the Moon System, and Mu You's secondary belief has been bound to the Blood God, and it is very likely that he will not change it in the future. This kind of Moon System equipment is destined to be useless to him.
As for 8.5 stars, if I guess correctly, I should be able to exchange it for a No. 9 paper crane from the savage.
Because when Mu You met the savage before, he tried to use a prop that was later proved to be 3.5 stars to exchange for a No. 4 paper crane, so the savage may return the paper crane according to the rule of rounding up for this prop that is not a full star.
"So it's only one seven-star away? Come and see how many stars this thing is?" Linglong suddenly took out a piece of rope from the game.
Mu You took a look at it. The rope looked very familiar. After looking at the name reflected in the all-knowing crystal, he quickly remembered the origin: "This is Xiaoxue's..."
The infinitely extended rope was one of the spoils they got after the city lords attacked the wetland enchantress. As the name suggests, it is said to be a rope that can be infinitely stretched. It was also the worst of the eleven hidden relics at that time, and it was finally distributed to Lin Xue.
"Yes, Xiaoxue said this thing is useless, so we can replace it if we need it." Linglong nodded and urged: "Let's see if this thing is 7 stars first?"
"It's 7 stars..." Mu You said.
In fact, you can guess this thing without looking at the star rating. After all, the effect is really weak, not as good as some non-hidden relics. If it is not a guaranteed 7 stars, they will be surprised.
"So it's all gathered now, right?" Linglong asked.
"Well, next you and No. 1 take the things to find the savage and try." Mu You nodded.
In fact, with the synthesis furnace, Mu You can completely mass-produce props from 7 to 9 stars, but the premise is that he must have enough materials, which is impossible at this stage, so the props seem a bit tight.
When the materials are abundant in the future, you can completely tailor a set of high-star props for everyone around you.
Back to the point, at this time, Mu You's game character is still being watched by the bandit leader, and he can't leave for the time being, so he can only let the two clones go to find the savage on his behalf.
Linglong and the night watchman didn't waste any time, and immediately each took a prop and went to the Spider Forest.
However, the two did not appear together. After arriving at the area where the wild man often appeared, Linglong went there first, wandered around in the forest for a while, and successfully led out the wild man.
A moment later, Linglong had an exquisite paper crane in her hand.
['The gift of the ancestors - paper crane (7)'. ]
"Done, you go!" Linglong handed the paper crane to the night watchman and then controlled the character to retreat.
The night watchman also immediately controlled the character to go to the forest, followed the direction where the wild man disappeared for a while, and soon led the wild man out again.
Mu You had also adjusted the perspective to the night watchman in the game.
[You take out the 'blessing of the moon god' and give it to the wild man. ]
[The savage took the crystal ball you handed over, played with it in his hands, felt the energy in it, and immediately danced with joy, saying: "Great... This bead... Lights up at night..."]
[After saying that, the savage fumbled in his pocket for a long time, took out a 'paper crane', and stuffed it into your hand.]
[You have obtained the 'Gift from the Ancestors - Paper Crane (9)'.]
Looking at the prompts in the game, Mu You finally let go of the pocket watch.
After all, the rounding rule was made up by his mind, and he was not sure whether it was applicable to the hidden relics. If he handed in the 8.5-star props and failed to exchange for the No. 9 paper crane, he would have a chance to go back and start over.
Fortunately, everything went well.
At this point, they had collected all the paper cranes from No. 1 to No. 9.
The night watchman immediately sent all nine paper cranes into the game, and then the highlight came.
[The savage took your treasure and turned to jump away. ]
[You hurriedly called the savage and held all nine paper cranes in your hands. ]
[The savage looked back at you in confusion. Seeing the nine different paper cranes, he couldn't help but stare at you in surprise. ]
["You actually... helped... us... so much..."]
Mu You raised his eyebrows when he saw this. The savage said to help 'us', which means that these paper cranes are universal among the savages. Giving things to other savages can also exchange for paper cranes.
These savages seem to judge a person's friendliness to their race by giving them paper cranes and then judging the number of paper cranes a person holds.
[The savage took back all the paper cranes in your hand, opened them all in front of you, and then fused the nine pieces of paper together and quickly folded them into a larger paper crane. 】
【"You are... a good friend of all the ancestors... Jie Lin... always welcome..." the savage said intermittently, stuffed the paper crane into your hand, scratched his head, turned around and left quickly, disappearing into the jungle. 】
【You have obtained the 'gift from the ancestors - paper crane (friendship certificate)'. 】
【Paper crane (friendship certificate): With this, you can enter and exit the 'Jie Lin' freely. 】
"Oh?" Mu You was stunned.
The collection of these paper cranes did trigger subsequent events, but it was not as imagined that the savage's loyalty was directly obtained, but a larger paper crane was given, and a new place name was unlocked: 'Jie Lin'.
Mu You hurriedly clicked on the entry to check.
【Jie Lin: A forest located in the extreme south of the world, composed of a special tree called 'Jie Mu'. This tree can naturally resist the penetration of divinity. Therefore, Jie Lin is currently the only area in the high sky world that has not been covered by divinity, and it is also the gathering place of the ancestors today. 】
"So that's it..."
Mu You understood immediately after reading it. The so-called Ring Forest is actually the base camp of the savages. Because there is no divinity in the forest, only in this forest can the savages maximize their physical advantages. Even if the gods want to attack them, they can't attack them. No wonder they are regarded as a gathering place by the savages.
Coming back to his senses, Mu You felt a little regretful. He didn't expect that the reward for collecting paper cranes was only the permission to enter the Ring Forest.
At present, it is not known what is in the Ring Forest, so this reward can't be considered a loss.
It's just that he couldn't hire this savage with such efforts. Next, if he wants to go to the Temple of the Ancients, he can only find another way.
"What does this savage want?" Mu You pondered secretly.
"This savage will jump out to ask for things when he sees every player, but it will only appear once for each player, which means that it is likely to be looking for someone intentionally." At this time, the herbalist suddenly spoke up to analyze.
Mu You nodded. He had thought of this. The previous text had mentioned that the savage had a poor memory.
This savage may have had contact with a fool ancestor before, but it has been too long and he has forgotten his appearance. He can only identify him through objects.
In other words, unless they can take out the specific thing that the savage is looking for and match the "password" with the savage, it is possible to subdue the savage. Otherwise, no matter how many precious things they give, the other party will not really trust them.
Mu You shook his head.
There is no result here, so he can only put it aside for the time being and return to his own game.
Now it is the third day that he has been learning from the bandit leader. In these three days, he has successively comprehended four theft techniques: "Golden Right Hand", "Precision Theft", "Divine Vision", and "Escape".
He has also used the "Golden Left Hand" magic stone he obtained before and successfully learned the magic inside.
In this way, he only has the last and most important "Invisible Hand" to learn.
[You tell the bandit leader that you have learned all the stealing skills except the 'Invisible Hand', and ask when to start learning the last stealing skill? ]
Mu You has made up his mind. As long as the other party dares to demonstrate this last stealing skill, he will go back infinitely, learn it on the spot, and then run away.
Unfortunately, the bandit leader didn't know whether he had expected his plan or had other plans. In short, he just refused to teach this last stealing skill.
[Under your repeated questioning, the bandit leader finally loosened his mouth: "This 'Invisible Hand' is my specialty. There are no more than three people in the entire sparrow tribe who know it!" ]
["I can teach you other stealing skills for free, but for this specialty, you must do something for me first, let me see your sincerity, and then I will teach you!" ]
Mu You raised his eyebrows, here it comes!
I knew that the bandit leader was not so kind. There must be a purpose for winning him over so diligently, and the purpose is here!
[You directly ask the bandit, what do you need you to do? 】
【"Don't be impatient. Before you do anything, you have to complete the test I set to confirm that you have the ability to do this." The bandit leader took out three dyed divine crystals, which were red, yellow and blue. 】
【"These three divinities are processed by me and cannot be copied. Next, I will distribute them to the tribe. You need to find these three divinities within one day." 】
【"Come here to find me at this time tomorrow with the three crystals, and you will pass the test." After the bandit said this, he flapped his wings and flew into the mist and disappeared. 】
Mu You frowned. The other party's attitude made him feel that after completing the test, the next thing the other party wanted him to do would definitely be a trap.
The other party's purpose from the beginning was to use several advanced stealing techniques as bait to lure him to help complete "this thing".
But even so, Mu You also wanted to see what the other party wanted him to do by being so mysterious.
So the next day, he honestly completed this so-called "test".
With "super sense" and "divine vision", it is actually very simple to find these three pieces of divinity. Mu You just controlled the character to wander around the tribe. In just three or four hours, he successfully found all the hiding places of the three pieces of divinity.
The real difficulty is how to steal these divinities back, because these three divinities are placed on three high-star creatures: the 7-star Crow Guard Captain, the bandit leader himself, and... Kunpeng!
I won't talk about the other two, but Kunpeng is a true god-level creature. The success rate of stealing from the nine-star greed box has reached the level of one in ten thousand. There is a huge gap between the god-level and the nine-star. Now it is conceivable how difficult it is to steal things from a god-level creature.
Mu You seriously doubted that this so-called test might not be completed by the bandit leader himself!
And this is probably the reason why the other party recruited him: only if Mu You completed this test, it would prove that he was capable of completing the "thing" that the other party needed to do.
Mu You exhaled, controlled the character to set off, and headed straight for Kunpeng's nest.
Again, no matter how low the probability is, as long as it is not zero, it is nothing in front of the pocket watch.
Half an hour later, Mu You put down his mobile phone and went to wash his face despite the nausea.
At this time in the game, he had successfully obtained the divinity from Kunpeng, and the price was as many as 200,000 backtrackings...
As for the remaining two, it was much easier. After resting for a while, Mu You approached the remaining two people separately, and just backtracked a few hundred times, and successfully stole them.
The next morning, Mu You found the bandit leader with three divinities on time.
["Very good, I was right about you!" The bandit leader looked at the three colorful divinities in your hand, and a hint of obscure spirit burst out in his eyes, and he nodded repeatedly with satisfaction. ]
["Now, you can officially help me do things. I promise that as long as you finish this, I will immediately teach you the "Invisible Hand"! And from now on, I will treat you as my brother, and share happiness and hardship." The bandit leader said solemnly, but the murderous intent flashed in his eyes when he spoke, but it did not escape your super sense...]
Mu You's heart sank when he saw this, and it seemed that the last skill would definitely not be learned.
The other party obviously didn't want to spread what it was going to do. As long as Mu You helped it complete the "thing", the other party would most likely immediately attack and kill people to silence them!
In this case, Mu You had no scruples: Since you don't plan to teach, what's the point of keeping you?
Thinking of this, Mu You immediately opened the forum, clicked on the "Dawn City Vaccine Group", and tagged everyone.
"Brothers, there is a hard job, who is free?"
A string of replies popped up below, some greeting, some worshipping the gods, but most of them were asking "What job?"
"Surround and kill a 7-star sparrow man! Those who are free will hit 1."
