Chapter 40: Unexpected Card Draw

The pollution strategy of [Curse of the Skinner] was successful. But it will take more time to completely complete the beast transformation ritual of the Blood Knight.

The good news is that Isabel has mastered the method of dealing with the crazy Blood Knight and has become more and more comfortable with it.

Unfortunately, [Evil Bone Whistle] still has no effect on the Blood Knight. It can only slightly hinder his actions, but cannot control his behavior.

Isabel is still working hard.

Just as Lu Yao was paying attention to the Blood Knight strategy, a series of changes occurred in the recently unknown Garlic Tribe.

With the hard work of all the villains, the population of the Garlic Tribe has reached more than 600 people.

Unfortunately, the two leaders of the tribe, the prophet and the shaman, died quietly one after another.

Their names were also engraved on the monument.

"Nonglai: The first prophet of the tribe. He is the eternal loyal follower of Yao Shen and the bridge between the gods and the tribe. He led the tribe to overcome natural disasters and hunger and survived the most difficult times. His name will be remembered by everyone."

"Lie Cang: The first shaman of the tribe. He integrated the knowledge and courage of the forest tribe into the garlic tribe. He is a smart pioneer and a wise guide. He helped the tribe learn unprecedented technology."

The bodies of the prophet and the shaman were buried in the forest, and the ghosts were taken to Saniluo by the local death god Scott, opening a new chapter in life.

The leader of the garlic tribe became the hero Yuzou.

He was already a gray-haired old man at this time. Yuzou no longer led the hunters to hunt and patrol everywhere, and began to rely on his own experience and prestige to lead the tribe to move forward.

The life of the pixel man was very short in Lu Yao's eyes.

But watching these little people who once prayed for him, marveled, praised, felt uneasy and awed him, just stepped into death without any warning, Lu Yao was still a little melancholy.

After Yuzou became the leader, he made a simple adjustment to the garlic tribe.

First, Yuzou invited the astrologer Shahan to govern the tribe together, and Shahan agreed.

The division of labor between the two was similar to that of the prophet and shaman of the previous generation.

The astrologer was responsible for the tribe's belief in gods, praying in the temple and looking for sacrifices to obtain the guidance of the gods.

Yuzou, a practical person, began to lead the reform of the tribe.

He first cleared a piece of trees outside the forest and transformed it into farmland, so that the tribe could have more land to grow food. Ensure that the food reserves of the Garlic Tribe continued to grow.

On the other hand, he led the tribe's little people to rebuild the dock with a lot of stones and wood, and built several tall barns around the dock.

Yuzou led the tribe to cut wood and build canoes. People took the canoes and began to explore further in all directions along the East River.

The East River is turbulent and wide, and canoes are often swallowed by whirlpools or sunk after hitting rocks. The vigorous exploration of the river caused the Garlic Tribe to lose dozens of people, which was an unprecedented loss.

The little people in the tribe were very uneasy, and some even expressed doubts about Yuzou.

"If it were a prophet, so many people would never die."

"If the shaman were still alive, he would definitely not do this."

"Master Yuzou is old."

"Heroes will also grow old. If the tribe continues like this, it will be over."

"It is still safest to farm. The water is too dangerous. It is difficult for the Donghe tribe to survive without sea monsters. It is even more impossible for us."

Faced with various doubts and pressures, Yuzou insisted on his own policy.

At this time, Shahan also strongly supported Yuzou: "We must go out. The gods have given us enough guidance. This is the will of the gods!"

Yuzou said to the people: "We have enough food, which gives us the confidence to officially set foot on the river."

"The river not only has fish, but also a natural road. It can lead to all directions along the river."

"The river water is a huge camel that will not get tired and can take us anywhere."

"We must be the tribe that goes out. We can't sit here and wait for other tribes to find us."

"Have you forgotten the disastrous defeat of the cave monster? That is the result of standing still."

Lu Yao's God's perspective can see clearly.

The death of the headhunter has affected Yuzou to this day.

Even though he has become an old man, Yuzou is still surrounded by anxiety and fear. He always has a sense of urgency, as if invisible monsters may attack the Garlic Tribe at any time.

This sense of urgency is something the Garlic Tribe has never had before.

Lu Yao appreciates this very much.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace.

There is no progress without fear.

Having an imaginary enemy will give the Garlic Tribe more motivation and cohesion to move forward.

However, there are no people on the other side of the East River, only large tracts of desolate land, rocky hills, and some rocky shallows.

The canoe is like an ant, coming and going in the river, searching everywhere, one after another.

Lu Yao was about to go downstairs to get takeout when a prompt popped up on the screen, stopping him.

[Astrologist Shahan wrote the first parchment book "A Brief History of the Tribe". ]

[The Garlic Tribe learned to write. ]

[The Yulian built the first paddle boat. ]

[The Garlic Tribe invented the paddle boat. 】

【The Garlic Tribe has learned to make and use paddle boats, and their faith has been enhanced. 】

——Great God, a believer has done a feat far beyond his peers. Do you need to transform him into a hero?

【Yes】【No】

Lu Yao took a look.

There is a little man wearing a woolen short coat in the temple. His name is Yulian, who is only 16 years old.

A question mark appeared on Yulian's head, and the box next to him was what he was thinking.

"It is said that only those who are recognized by the gods can get enlightenment and truly enter the temple. Have I been recognized?"

"But I didn't bring any sacrifices. If the gods are angry... I won't be electrocuted by lightning..."

"Hey, I'm just a shipbuilder. I don't know anything about gods."

"I hope the gods won't blame me."

Lu Yao can clearly feel it now. With the progress of tribal civilization, the thoughts of the pixel people are becoming more and more active.

The young Yulian built a paddle boat.

From his surname, we can also see that he is a fisherman. It can be regarded as a professional match.

Lu Yao clicked [Yes], and Yulian immediately had his own panel and portrait.

In the detailed personal panel, Yulian is a boy standing by the water. He is barefoot, wearing a simple woolen short coat, staring at the fish in the water in the distance, as if thinking about how to catch the fish ashore.

Below the portrait, there is a paragraph of his words.

——The boat is a person's shoe. We must have more and better shoes to go further in the water.

…

[Hero Lv1] Yulian

Attack 0 Defense 0 Knowledge 2 Mana 0 Luck 1 Morale 1

[Ability]

Wisdom Lv1: Wisdom is the key for the apostle to listen to the will of God. The higher the level of wisdom, the easier it is to improve and comprehend various abilities.

Shipbuilding Lv1: Good at building ships, with a faster construction speed, and a certain probability of building advanced ships.

…

Lu Yao was somewhat relieved.

Shipbuilding and wisdom are both very practical and excellent abilities.

It is also because of the ability of shipbuilding that Yulian was able to invent the paddle boat. He single-handedly pushed the tribe's shipbuilding forward a big step.

And Yulian is only 16 years old, and his future is limitless.

The Garlic Tribe has been established for so many years and has reproduced for several generations. Finally, a good card was drawn!
