Chapter 617: Solar Serum and Uninvited Guests (End of the Crow Man Chapter)
"Can you feel and control your arm?" Mu You asked.
The girl in the cage blinked, indicating that he was right.
"Is your arm pointing the way for us?"
She continued to blink.
"Is there any treasure in that direction?" Mu You asked.
This time the girl did not respond.
"No... Then, are you pointing to the direction of your other body?" Mu You thought for a while and asked again.
The girl blinked again.
Sure enough!
Mu You was delighted and continued to ask.
"Can you feel the situation of your other body? Why did you recover your divine power? Have all your other parts been unsealed?" Mu You asked.
The girl was silent again, and blinked after a moment.
Mu You was stunned for a moment.
"This means that you don't know the specific situation of other bodies, but you can vaguely feel their location?"
The girl blinked again.
"I see..."
Mu You nodded and roughly understood the situation.
In any case, with the arm pointing the way, it would be much easier to find other parts.
Mu You originally thought it would take a long time to revive the Blood God, but now it seems that it may not take too long.
Mu You returned to the game, and a new text popped up in the game.
[…The savage Muro also entered the temple. Looking at the pool of hot red pulp in the temple, Muro was ecstatic. He ignored the scalding temperature and reached into the pool with both hands. He scooped up a handful of clear pulp on the surface, as if he had obtained some kind of peerless delicacy, and couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth…]
[You watched Muro's mouth and throat illuminated by the hot juice, and the pulp finally flowed into his stomach, and then gradually lost its temperature…]
[The savage seemed to feel no pain from the burning heat. Instead, he roared to the sky as if he had drunk a mouthful of strong liquor, and showed more excitement. Then he stretched out his hand to greet you, repeatedly pointing to the pool in front of him, as if he wanted you to taste some of it. It would be a pity to waste such a good thing…]
“Uh…”
Mu You looked strange, and he had a better understanding of the savage’s physical strength.
But he was very self-aware. Humans don't have the ability to show off to magma like the savages. If he foolishly imitated the savages' actions, he would most likely be scalded to death on the spot.
Coming back to his senses, Mu You was also a little curious about the magma. What on earth could make the savages so excited?
[You look at the pool water, and the omniscient crystal reflects some information. ]
[Solar slurry: The natural liquefied body formed by the continuous gathering of solar energy. It can only be formed in some areas where the solar energy is over-concentrated and cannot dissipate energy. It takes thousands of years to form a drop, and it will quickly dissipate if it leaves the original environment. Because the conditions for formation and preservation are harsh, it is extremely rare in nature.
The solar serum contains an extremely abundant amount of solar energy. After taking it, it can greatly strengthen the physical fitness of organisms (but it repels divine energy, so divine creatures cannot take it). Putting non-divine items into the real solar water will refine the items and make them stronger in all aspects (if items containing divinity are put into the pool, they will be melted and dissolved)]
"..."
Mu You's eyelids jumped when he saw it. Fortunately, he didn't drink it. Sure enough, this thing is not prepared for ordinary creatures at all. Only creatures like the savages who are not friendly to divinity dare to drink it as water.
[Seeing you waving your hands repeatedly and refusing to take the solar serum, the savage showed a puzzled expression, but did not force it. He then took out his spear and inserted the spear head into the serum...]
[The spear head suddenly made a hissing sound, and bubbles began to gurgle on the surface of the serum. ]
[After a few minutes, the bubbles stopped coming out, and the savage pulled out the spear. 】
【You find that the spear head is covered with a layer of crystal clear material, emitting star-like light in the sun. The savage took the newly-forged spear and gently scratched the seemingly blunt spear tip with his fingertips, and a blood line was cut. 】
【The savage was not annoyed, but overjoyed. He swung the spear at the broken stone statues around him, like a hot knife cutting into ice and snow, easily splitting all the stones in two...】
Mu You looked at this scene thoughtfully.
This pool of water seems to have the function of tempering props. A primitive spear that looks ordinary has been rinsed in this pool of water and directly turned into a divine weapon that can cut iron like mud!
This effect and efficiency are comparable to that of a god-level blacksmith.
It's a pity that this pool can only temper items that do not contain divinity.
The problem is that most of the materials in the high sky world have been impregnated with divinity. How can there be props that are completely free of divinity? Even if there are, they are all primitive materials and tools, just like the savage's spear. Even after being tempered, it may not be as powerful as a truly powerful divine weapon.
Mu You sighed. It was no wonder that the savages built a temple in such a dangerous place. The purpose was to collect the solar energy here.
When the divinity did not appear, this solar solution was one of the few black technologies that could strengthen tools.
"What a pity... eh?"
Just as Mu You was regretting that he could not use this pool of water, a prompt popped up.
[You suddenly noticed that the black crystals that made up this altar pool looked familiar. ]
[You lowered your head and carefully identified it, and soon confirmed that these black crystals seemed to be the same material as the resurrection stone, but the color was deeper than that of the ordinary resurrection stone...]
"Oh?"
Mu You raised his eyebrows. This altar carrying the solar solution was actually made of resurrection stones.
So, the Resurrection Stone is not a divine material?
Thinking of this, Mu You hurriedly controlled the character to take out the Resurrection Stone.
[You threw the Resurrection Stone into the pool, and the surface of the Resurrection Stone suddenly made a hissing sound, and bubbles kept coming out...]
[...Until a few minutes later, the bubbles stopped coming out, the color of the Resurrection Stone became deeper, and the effect also changed. ]
[Resurrection Stone·Pure: It has a strong recovery ability and can be restored to its original state within one day after being broken. ]
Mu You's eyes lit up. The original Resurrection Stone took a whole week to recover, so every time a player died, he had to stay in the city for seven days before he could go out again.
Now the recovery time is directly reduced to one day. After returning to the city after death, you only need to rest in the city for a while before you can set off again, which greatly reduces the cost of death.
"Not bad..."
Mu You was quite satisfied with this improvement. Moreover, after being reminded by the Resurrection Stone, he thought of another thing that might also be thrown into the pool - the Kirin Arm!
The Qilin is of course a divine creature, but the Qilin Arm has a special characteristic, that is, under the protection of the scales on the surface, it will not be affected by any external curses, seals, corrosion, extreme cold and heat, etc., so the Qilin Arm can always be preserved intact no matter what extreme environment it is in.
So perhaps, the scales on the Qilin Arm can also withstand the quenching of this solution?
Whether it works or not, we will know after a try.
Mu You held the pocket watch and controlled the character to summon the Qilin Arm.
[The Qilin Arm condensed on your right arm, and you carefully put your right arm into the pool water...]
[Like water drops dripping on hot oil, the originally calm pool water suddenly boiled violently, and the sound of hissing continued to sound from all over the surface of the Qilin's claws, but your arm did not feel any burning pain, and the Qilin Arm did not show any signs of melting...]
"It works!" Mu You was delighted.
The scales on the surface blocked all the heat, so at least the Qilin Arm would not be melted by the solar slurry, but whether it could be successfully tempered or not, we had to wait and see the results.
The tempering process of the Qilin Arm was much longer than that of the Resurrection Stone and the Spear. It took more than an hour to wait. During this period, the surface of the Qilin Arm kept bubbling in the pool, and Mu You did not dare to pull it out casually.
It was not until an hour and a half later that a prompt finally appeared in the game.
[The bubbles on the surface of the Qilin Arm gradually became scarce until they disappeared completely. The edges of the originally cyan scales on the surface of the Qilin Arm were stained with a layer of dark red halo, and the effect of the Qilin Arm also changed. ]
[Qilin Arm·Pure: An epiphytic item transformed from the broken arm of the Wind Qilin. After being tempered by the solar solution, its scales have strong physical defense and the ability to absorb sunlight...]
Mu You hurriedly read through the instructions of the Qilin Arm after tempering.
Among the four original abilities of the Kirin Arm, ‘Infinite Strength’ and ‘Wind Vacuum’ have not changed, but ‘Scale Covering’ and ‘Wind Burial Cannon’ have changed.
The current Kirin Arm can not only resist various negative effects, but also be used as a piece of armor. The strengthened scales, like a shield, can easily resist the piercing of various weapons.
The second is the Wind Burial Cannon. The current Kirin Arm no longer needs to drain the user’s energy to activate the Wind Burial Cannon. The scales can accumulate energy from the sun by themselves.
Placing the Kirin Arm in the sun can accumulate about 100 points of solar energy a day, and this number is equivalent to Mu You’s current energy limit.
Moreover, the energy storage limit of all scales added up is as high as 1,000 points! You must know that the power of the Wind Burial Cannon directly depends on the energy consumed. The few Wind Burial Cannons that Mu You fired before were all below 100 energy levels, which could already cut off a tentacle of the deep-sea octopus.
What if this power is amplified ten times?
Maybe it can really achieve the effect of the light cannon giant that he fought against before, that is, the light cannon killed the nine-star giant in one second.
More importantly, with sunlight as energy, he will not lose his combat effectiveness after firing the wind burial cannon in the future, and can continue to fight normally.
[You use the Qilin arm to fish out the resurrection stone at the bottom of the pool. At this time, the solution in the pool water has dropped by about one-third...]
The strengthening of the Qilin arm really consumed a lot of slurry, but in terms of the strengthening effect, it is definitely worth it.
Next, Mu You took the resurrection stones of the clone and Lin Xue and others, and sent them into the game to temper them all.
In addition to the Qilin arm, the only thing they can strengthen now is the resurrection stone.
After a round of tempering, the pool water was consumed again, leaving only about half.
"It's a pity that I can't take it away..."
Mu You sighed. The previous text clearly mentioned that this solution will dissipate quickly as long as it leaves this place.
The remaining half of the pool water can only be left here first. Anyway, no one else can come up here. It won't be too late to come back and use it when you get other things that can be strengthened in the future.
Next, Mu You let the savage lead him away from the top of the mountain, and after another period of confusion, he returned to the foot of the mountain.
[You brought the savage to Dawn City, and the fools passing by cast curious eyes on the savage...]
Now that the players know the story of Muro and Abby, they have no objection to the savage entering the city, and many players even took the initiative to run over to greet Muro.
The savage showed no malice towards the swarming players. Instead, he smiled innocently and interacted with the players who climbed on him.
Next, Mu You took the savages to Dawn City through the teleportation array, and searched for pharmaceutical materials around Dawn City.
One day later, Mu You successfully gathered the materials for the 'memory potion' and made several bottles of memory potion on the spot.
[You hand the memory potion to the savage and signal him to drink it. 】
[The savage was completely unprepared for you. He took the potion and drank it in one gulp. He licked his lips, feeling a little unfinished. 】
[A few seconds later, the savage suddenly froze on the spot, holding his head and squatting on the spot in some pain, sorting out the various memories that flashed in his mind...]
[After the savage gradually recovers, you have a conversation with him. 】
[Through communication, you learned that the savage’s amnesia has been somewhat improved, and now he can finally distinguish you from other fools by their faces, but he still cannot remember the way home...]
Amnesia obviously cannot be cured directly with a bottle of memory potion. You can only drink this thing once a week, and the memory restored is completely random. The exact number of bottles you drink before you can remember the location of the Ring is purely down to luck.
This can't be rushed.
Mu You shook his head, and after getting some more potion materials in the game, he was ready to leave Dawn City to find other bodies of the Blood God.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the pet shop welcomed an uninvited guest.
"Katrina? Why are you here?"
Mu You looked at the vampire girl who appeared at the door with some surprise.
Katarina had been arranged by him to practice leveling in Yongye City before. Mu You almost forgot about her existence and did not expect that she would suddenly appear on Earth.
"Sorry to bother you, I suddenly felt the call of Allah yesterday, so I came here overnight."
As Catalina spoke, she couldn't help but look inside the house, and said with some worry: "I can feel that Lord Allah is nearby... Could it be that something happened to Lord Allah?"
"Don't worry, nothing happened. Your God just woke up yesterday..." Mu You comforted, and then looked at her strangely.
He didn't expect that Catalina could sense the changes in the girl's head in the star spirit world. Is the Shining's sense so powerful?
"come in."
Mu You led Catalina in and took her to the birdcage holding the girl's head.
"Lord Allah, you have suffered..."
Catalina was very excited when she saw the girl's head. She hurriedly came to the birdcage and made a gesture of listening.
"Well...I understand...Okay...I will help you do it..."
Seeing Catalina staring at the birdcage and mumbling, Mu You was a little curious: "Can you communicate with her consciousness?"
"Yeah." Catalina nodded: "I don't know why, maybe it's because I have enough faith in Allah. I can clearly feel the oracle conveyed to me by Allah..."
"Are you a devout believer..." Mu You smiled dryly.
Although he also has the faith of the Vampire Clan, it is definitely not pious. It should be said that there is no more half-hearted believer in the entire Vampire Clan than him.
"So, what did Lilith say to you?" Mu You looked at Catalina and asked.
"Allah said that he hopes I will take her to high heaven. She wants to go to the former 'Sea of Blood' to see her children... Moreover, the other arm of Allah seems to be near the Sea of Blood. I need to get it back, too,” Catalina said.
At the end of the Crow Man Chapter, The Fool is about to face a head-on confrontation with the God-Eating Beast. Next, Hongxiu and the Old Man of Zhijie, the four natural disaster beasts, Chuangjie Mountain, and the ancestors of Dawn City Lord will all appear one after another. From then on until the end, they are all Mainline rush mode.
