Chapter 620: Giant's Base Camp

"Master, I just received the news that a giant appeared near the No. 173 soul-guiding lamp..." Bluebeard sent a private message to Mu You.

"Okay, I'll be there soon..."

...

One hour later.

[You killed the giant scout (9 stars) with the help of the savage and the bone dragon...]

"There is also a giant at the No. 175 soul-guiding lamp next door. A team of players is sneaking towards you with the giant..."

"Hold on..."

...

[You killed the giant scout (9 stars) with the help of the savage and the bone dragon...]

Since Mu You spread the news of the giant tracking, the players near Sunset City began to pay attention to their backs consciously. This time, they found many traces of giants.

Fortunately, Bluebeard explained the situation in advance through the city lord's order and set a bounty. As long as you help to delay the giant and wait for the master to kill the giant, you will get the bounty.

Therefore, the players did not panic when they saw the giant. Instead, they began to actively report their positions and prevent the giant from leaving in various ways.

So Mu You didn't rest for the next day. He was busy running around, leading the savages and bone dragons to hunt giants.

In fact, other city lords can also kill these giants as long as they bring enough people, but there will inevitably be casualties, and the most important thing is that other people can't stop the giants from using that kind of last words flare. Once that kind of flare is launched, it will alert other giants.

So in the end, they can only wait for Mu You to take action.

[… You condensed the giant's bones and got God's blood*1, God's bone*1, and 6441 divine crystals...]

Looking at the prompts in the text, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the tenth giant killed today, which means that he has obtained ten portions of God's bone blood in this day.

Ordinary God's bones are useless to Mu You. He directly distributed them to Lin Xue, Xiaoya and the three clones, leaving only God's blood.

In the past two months, Xiaoya and the three clones have also found several ordinary God's corpses exposed in the wild, and opened God's skins one after another.

Xiaoya's divine skin is the goddess of night. The various divine arts of the authority of night are specially developed for the night. The strength of the believers of the night is very weak during the day, but in the dark night, the vision and various divine arts will undergo qualitative changes, and they can burst out extremely terrifying combat power.

As for the three clones, due to the limitations of the clones, the authority cannot be fused, so the three people fused ordinary divine skins.

Including the clones, there are now six divine skin owners around Mu You.

Except for Mu You, the others are currently 4-star believers, and each has fused two divine bones.

Of course, they are fused with ordinary divine bones without authority. Others are not as arrogant as Mu You, who dares to use the authority divine bone as an ordinary enhanced divine bone.

In fact, even ordinary divine bones are rare for players, and they must be fused as soon as they see them.

And fusing ordinary divine bones also has advantages, that is, there is no need to "digest" the divine power, and the next one can be fused immediately after fusing one.

In addition, as the earliest recipient of the divine skin, Lin Xue had already met the other conditions for upgrading to 5 stars, but was stuck at the level.

To upgrade to 5 stars, you need to reach level 25. Because Lin Xue is not a city lord, she is naturally one level lower than other city lords, and is only level 23 and a half now.

So Lin Xue has been teaming up with Xiao Ya in recent days, frantically looking for high-star creatures to brush experience.

The problem they both encountered is also the dilemma faced by most of the top players at present.

After going through the initial stage of pioneering, the top players now do not lack divinity, but begin to lack experience.

Except for a few city lords such as Mu You and Tian Zi, others are basically stuck at the 4-star stage due to the threshold of level 25, and have been unable to upgrade to 5 stars.

Fortunately, Dawn City was upgraded to LV7 last month, and the statue of the god unlocked a new "replacement" function. All players can invest divinity crystals into the statue, and then exchange experience from the experience pool. 1 point of divinity can be exchanged for 1,000 points of ordinary experience.

In theory, as long as you are willing to spend divinity, it is no problem to instantly upgrade a person from level 1 to level 30.

Of course, this is only in theory. After level 25, the experience of each level is an astronomical figure, which can easily reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. It will cost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of divinity.

Now players have more money, but they can't afford such consumption.

Even for the city lords, occasionally spending 10,000 divinity to exchange for 10 million experience will hurt for a long time, not to mention ordinary people.

So although this function has been opened, not many people have actually used it yet.

In addition, after the Sky City is upgraded to level 8, a new building called "Soul-Calming Monument" will be unlocked.

When the player is near this stone tablet, the experience required for upgrading will be halved, and the maximum will not exceed 100 million points, but it is only effective for players above 4 stars.

This stone tablet is equivalent to locking the experience limit for the player, and there is no need to invest unlimited experience to upgrade to level 30, which is very beneficial for upgrading after level 25.

This is one of the reasons why no one is in a hurry to use the replacement function: even if you want to invest in divinity, you have to wait until the Soul-Calming Monument comes out.

Back to the point, at this time, Mu You put all the ten drops of God's Blood he had just obtained into the Blood Niche.

[Transformation completed, you have obtained 8.8 drops of pure heart blood. The current total amount of pure heart blood: 9.5 drops. ]

Among the ten giants, two are eight stars, and the others are nine stars. Each star can melt 0.1 drops of heart blood, which is exactly 8.8 drops. Add the remaining 0.7 drops, and you have nine and a half drops.

Last time the blood clan advanced to the next level, two drops were used. How much is needed this time? We have to experiment.

Mu You first took out a drop of heart blood and swallowed it.

The blood turned into airflow at the entrance, pouring into his limbs, as if a group of candles were burning everywhere in his body.

Mu You closed his eyes and silently felt the energy changes in his body.

Half a minute later, the energy gradually subsided. Mu You opened his eyes and had an idea in his mind.

This drop of heart blood provided him with about a quarter of the algebraic progress, and he needed four drops to advance.

"Two drops for the 9th generation, four drops for the 8th generation, it won't be doubled every time..."

Mu You looked strange. If this is the rule, then in the end, 512 drops of pure heart blood will be needed to upgrade from 2 generations to 1 generation...

Mu You quickly shook his head and said that he would talk about it later. After confirming the effect of the heart blood, he decisively divided another 3 drops of blood and swallowed them in one gulp.

[With the help of pure heart blood, your blood generation has been successfully reduced by one generation, and now you are an 8th generation vampire. ]

[You have obtained 4 blood rhythm points. ]

[Your life automatic recovery speed has been increased to: 4 points per second + 1.5% of maximum life value. ]

"Oh? 4 blood rhythm points?"

Mu You's eyes lit up when he saw the prompt.

Last time, he drank two drops and got two blood rhythm points. This time, 4 drops gave him four.

So, every drop of heart blood he took can get one blood rhythm point?

If this is the case, then no matter how much heart blood is needed for the promotion, it will not be wasted.

At this time, Mu You did not hesitate to add one level to "Super Sense" and "Transfiguration" with these four blood rhythm points.

Needless to say, super sense, Mu You has fully experienced the benefits of vision suppression in these battles of hunting giants.

In the foggy world of high sky, vision is really an extremely important attribute. Sometimes, a difference of only 100 meters in vision is the difference between life and death. As one of the few abilities that can improve vision, super sense is not too high.

As for the transformation, the number of available forms is directly linked to the level. Only one sparrow man form is obviously not enough.

As for the remaining two blood rhythm points... Mu You flipped through the awakenable blood rhythms and suddenly suffered from choice difficulties.

There are many practical blood rhythms, such as speed, atomization, blood path, domination, etc., but the effects of low-level blood rhythms are relatively weak.

Whether to learn two new blood rhythms or continue to upgrade super sense, Mu You was a little undecided for a while, so he simply put it aside and decided when needed.

Just at this time, Blue Beard sent another message.

"Great God, another giant has appeared, but it's a little far away, under the soul-guiding lamp No. 314..."

Mu You opened the map and looked up the location of the soul lamp No. 314.

This map is a map of the surrounding area of ​​Sunset City made by players. All the soul-guiding lamps nearby have been found and numbered according to the order of discovery for easy search.

No. 314 is thousands of kilometers away from his location, which is indeed a bit far, but Mu You still rushed there as soon as possible.

[You explained the direction you wanted to go to the savage, and the savage picked you and the bone dragon up, put one on his back and the other around his neck, and then used all four legs to run quickly in the direction you pointed...]

The savage's physique and endurance are extremely strong. A journey of thousands of kilometers only takes one or two hours for him.

Two hours later, Mu You and the savage arrived at the soul lamp No. 314.

Unfortunately, he came a little late, and the few players who were responsible for seducing the giant here had been killed by the giant.

After two hours of delay, the giant realized that the player had discovered it, and was just deliberately luring it, waiting for it to fall into a trap.

Sensing the possibility of danger, the giant also made a prompt decision and directly killed these players who were playing a lot, and then left.

"Master, the player said that he saw the giant going east before he died..." Bluebeard conveyed the information provided by the player truthfully.

At this time, it was less than five minutes before the player died, and the giant couldn't run far even if he ran, so Mu You naturally chose to chase him.

[Under your guidance, the savage continued to run wildly towards the east...]

After tracking for more than ten minutes, a prompt finally popped up in the game.

[Through the vision of the Golden Crow Eye, you vaguely saw the figure of a giant in the deep fog ahead, running wildly forward...]

"Found it..." Mu You's eyes lit up.

The giant seemed to have realized the danger and was running away madly.

In this case, they didn't need to hide. Mu You didn't let the savage slow down, but killed him directly.

The bone dragon flew over first and entangled the giant, and Mu You and the savage surrounded him from the left and right, and started beating him again.

[You killed the giant scout (9 stars) with the help of the savage and the bone dragon...]

[You obtained the giant scout's transformed form. ]

"The giant's transformed form..." Mu You touched his chin.

Having obtained the giant's transformed form, in theory, he can now perfectly dress up as the giant scout.

However, pretending to be a giant seems to be useless, because the God Devouring Beasts can sense each other's existence, just like before on Earth, the giants can easily tell which person is infected and which one is not.

If he pretended to be a giant and approached other giants, he would be discovered in a minute.

Mu You shook his head and was about to condense this giant. At this moment, another text popped up.

[You saw a blue light bullet suddenly light up in the sky. The light of this light bullet seemed to have the power to penetrate the fog. Even if it was tens of thousands of meters away, you could see it clearly...]

"Huh?"

Mu You was stunned. Blue light bullet?

The last words flares carried by these giants should be red. Who sent the blue signal? What does it mean?

Combined with the military background of these giants, Mu You vaguely guessed that this light bullet might be sent from the giant's base camp, giving some kind of instructions to all the giants.

"God, just now in other directions, several players who were being tracked by giants sent news. Just now, a blue flare suddenly rose, and then all the giants gave up tracking and turned back to run away..."

Bluebeard's message came at the right time: "I guess this may be the giant's retreat order!"

"Sure enough..." Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that although he had killed the giants in succession before and failed to make them send out signals, the fact that so many people had been out of contact for a whole day had already made the giants' base camp realize that something was wrong and decisively recalled the other giants.

"However, this is an opportunity to counter-track..."

Since these giants are now retreating, it is reasonable to follow any one of them and track the other's base camp!

"Where is the nearest giant to me? Which direction did he run to?" Mu You asked.

"Well... the nearest one should be near Soul Lamp No. 317, heading southeast..." Bluebeard said.

Mu You glanced at the map, threw the giant's body into the Order, and guided the savages to continue running forward.

After tracking for half an hour, as expected, the giant appeared in front again.

This time, Mu You did not appear directly, but asked the savages to slow down to avoid alerting the enemy. He relied on vision suppression and quietly followed the giant from behind.

After following for three or four hours, the text changed again.

[…You followed the giant and climbed over another mountain. The terrain ahead suddenly became flat. A wide river meandered by. On the other side of the river, some giant footprints gradually appeared on the ground, as well as some man-made roads…]

“Are we there?”

Mu You raised his eyebrows, controlled the character to take out the fog-breaking mirror, and looked ahead.

[From the perspective of the fog-breaking mirror, you saw a magnificent city rising from the ground on the plain ahead…]

[Around the city, there were a large number of giants. Hundreds of giants wearing armor and holding swords and axes were patrolling around the city…Along the perimeter of the city, there were constantly giant scouts wearing cloaks, returning from all directions and retreating back to the city…]

Mu You was a little frightened.

He had originally thought that these giant scouts might come from a giant tribe or giant camp, but in the end, he tracked them to a real giant city?
