Chapter 91 Sea Invasion
After detailed exploration and questioning, Lu Yao found out Jimi's situation.
It is a hero born from the snowman. Just as Jimi said, it did what other snowmen had never done and successfully angered the God of Darkness.
Although the reason was slightly different from what Lu Yao expected, the snowman was still worth the money.
In terms of combat positioning, the snowman tends to be a spellcasting mage, mastering two active long-range skills, [Snowball] and [Blizzard].
However, in Lu Yao's eyes, its core value is still [Hand of Stealing Fire].
This Jimi-exclusive ability has a high level, and the effect is linked to the speed and the level of this ability. The snowman can even successfully take the temple of the God of Darkness, which shows its proficiency and ability strength.
Lu Yao assigned [Ghost White Horse] to the snowman to increase speed, and threw it into [First Layer of Black Abyss] to steal.
Target: Ghouls and corpse hunters.
For safety reasons, Lu Yao asked the snowman to stay away from the area where the demigod Tyrant was located, and start with the outer monsters first.
From this day on, there was a sneaky snowman in the [first layer of the Black Abyss].
Lu Yao looked down from a God's perspective.
Jimmy crept forward in the abyss, looking for targets everywhere.
A ghoul in front of him crawled out of the ground. It slowly straightened its body and walked slowly on the ground, looking like it was stretching its muscles.
The snowman started!
Jimmy followed behind it, and his steps gradually synchronized with the ghoul, looking like the other's shadow. The ghoul was completely unaware that he was being targeted.
Then, the snowman raised his branch arm.
The red gloves at the front of the branch gently pulled left and right, opening a hole in the shadow behind the ghoul.
The snowman put his hand into the hole and touched it, and quickly withdrew his hand.
It seemed that he had gained nothing.
Jimmy quietly retreated, looking for the next target.
Soon, the snowman targeted another ghoul.
However, the level of this ghoul was surprisingly high, reaching LV55, even stronger than the few corpse hunters killed by the Blood Knight before.
Jimmy opened his hands again, cut through the shadow behind the ghoul, and reached in.
An exclamation mark suddenly lit up on its head.
"Fire theft success!"
The snowman slowly took out something.
It was a white cloth with a blue border that looked like a handkerchief.
...
[Count's Handkerchief LV2]: Damage +1, Defense +1.
The belongings of Count Blight.
...
Lu Yao's eyes sparkled.
What a harvest!
In that case... then steal it hard!
So far, Lu Yao has changed the grand strategy of the Abyss.
The previous strategy was to attack the dungeon and violently seize the spoils.
Now everyone serves the snowman to be able to exert their abilities! The snowman is the absolute core of the abyss, and everyone must assist it in its actions.
The more Lu Yao looks at the snowman, the more he likes it.
Jimmy, you did a good job, a good job.
[Hand of Stealing Fire] consumes 500 mana each time it is used, so the snowman can only steal 3 times in perfect condition.
It doesn't always yield something. With this high-risk ability, failure is always the norm.
Fortunately, with [Ghost White Horse], the snowman's safety is guaranteed and it is difficult to be discovered.
In addition, the natural recovery of mana is very slow and takes a lot of time.
To let the snowman steal all the layers of the abyss, it takes patience and long-term work, and for the safety of the snowman, you can't be anxious.
After Lu Yao arranged Jimmy, he returned his attention to the outside of the abyss.
...
Isabelle brought Lu Yao good news.
"My lord, after the recent battles and insights, I have become more proficient in the use of [Forest Sword] and have improved slightly."
Lu Yao clicked on Isabel's temple avatar.
With the blessing of [Forest Sword], her current panel has improved a bit.
...
[Apostle Lv2 Isabel
HP: 325/325
Mana: 615/615
Damage: 44
Defense: 42
Speed: 19
...
Most importantly, [Forest Sword] has been upgraded to LV2, with an overall increase in value, with damage +20, defense +20, and speed +4.
Lu Yao has always been optimistic about the growth of the Holy Sword.
However, he is a little worried about Isabel's health panel.
The Blood Knight has nearly 4000+ HP bars, and the Deep Sea Lord also has 3000+ HP. In comparison, Isabel is too fragile.
Although her defense and speed are very good, if she encounters special faith attacks, she will easily fall into danger.
For example.
If she is hit by a miracle by a god player, theoretically only 9 [Lightning] shots are needed to kill Isabel. The cost is even as low as 180 points of faith.
Of course, the premise is that she is accurately locked by the player. If Isabel keeps moving at high speed, it will be difficult for the God player's miracle to hit.
Lu Yao expressed his concerns to Isabel.
"I'm very sorry, my lord, my weakness has caused you trouble."
Isabel knelt on one knee: "Please rest assured, I will focus on improving my vitality in the future, and will also work hard to comprehend the corresponding abilities."
After her explanation, Lu Yao finally understood.
It turned out that in the process of continuous upgrading, Isabel had been specializing in the ability of [Wisdom]. So her [Wisdom] was on par with her personal level, reaching an astonishing level of 26.
Lu Yao was a little confused. Can the apostle upgrade freely?
He asked about the Blood Knight and the Yeti.
As a result, both of them said that the way of growth cannot be determined independently and is innate.
Only Isabelle can do that.
There is something special about her.
However, Isabel is her own apostle, connected to the fire of faith, and is trustworthy.
Lu Yao didn't care either.
[Golden Fields] has stopped working, and is backhandedly stealing from [Black Abyss]. Even if the God of the Forest has left some means, there is no chance of doing anything wrong.
After adjusting the growth direction, as long as it is further upgraded, Isabel's life will also grow rapidly, and the health bar will not always be as fragile as now.
At this time, a riot broke out in Yancheng.
The little pixel people were chattering away, with expressions of fear and uneasiness appearing on their heads.
"The killer fish in the sea are so scary."
"Three galleys have been hit and sunk by killer fish. They have eaten dozens of people. They can no longer go to the deep sea in the west. Alas..."
"Damn it, even the sea monsters of the Donghai clan can't fight against them, and the bows and arrows are useless. We need stronger weapons! We are too weak!"
"Everyone should not go to the west for the time being. Safety is important."
Everyone in the city was saying the same thing.
Lu Yao asked Isabel to learn more about the situation. Soon, she found out the whole incident.
"Sir, according to what the mayor Yulian said, not long ago, an unknown fish suddenly appeared in the sea."
"These fish have sharp horns and are ferocious in nature. When they encounter fishermen's galleys, they will attack immediately and can gather together in a short time to become a very powerful force."
"They will feed on humans after they hit a shipwreck. These fish not only attack humans, but also attack and hunt all creatures in the sea."
"Fishermen all say that there are no natural enemies of this fish in the ocean. They mostly lurk in the deep sea, but they can keenly detect ships at sea and launch quick attacks."
"The sea monsters of the Tokai clan once fought against these schools of fish, but were defeated and killed."
"Because these fish have the instinct to hunt humans, fishermen in Yancheng call them killer fish."
"The number of killer fish is growing rapidly, and the deep sea area of the Western Continent has become their territory. The fish schools are now expanding to the east and north."
"Currently, there is nothing we can do about killer fish in Yancheng. After discussing with Shang Li, the fishing company decided to temporarily close the sea first. They paid a great price and caught several killer fish, and are studying ways to deal with this kind of fish..."
Lu Yao read Isabel's report carefully.
He found that the little pixel people had grown up.
In the tribal era, little people would pray eagerly in front of the temple, begging their god to take action. Not just ordinary people, but prophets too.
With the development and progress of civilization, the intelligence of little people has improved, and their cognitive abilities have also increased day by day.
After experiencing many difficulties and turmoil, a new generation of heroes like Yulian began to lead the crowd. They have learned to use knowledge to solve problems, and their ability to be independent is far beyond that of their predecessors.
As a guardian, Lu Yao felt relieved as if he saw a baby learning to crawl.
Although the little people did not ask the gods, Lu Yao realized that this matter was not simple. There must be a reason behind the sudden appearance of such a powerful species in the sea.
He moved his perspective and, according to Isabel, found a small pool piled up on the beach.
There are two small white fish in the pond.
They look a bit like swordfish, with long sword bones on their heads and bodies made entirely of white bones. The two fish were violently hitting the stone platform used to build the pool, trying to rush out of the pool.
Lu Yao double-clicked the killer fish.
…
【Bone Fish LV2】
HP: 33/33
Mana: 12/12
Damage: 4
Defense: 2
Speed: 5
【Dive】
Diving underwater doubles your movement speed.
【Skeleton creature】
The strength of an organism composed of bones is related to the number of bones and the level of the bones during life.
…
Sure enough, there is something fishy.
Lu Yao rolled up his sleeves and his eyes became sharp.
Let me see who is doing this underwater.
