Chapter 41 Countdown to Advent (2)

Remember [Biquge Novel Network] biquge345.com in one second, fast updates, no pop-ups!

Now most players are in their teens, and the top player lords may only be at level 20. Three days is obviously not enough to quickly upgrade to the point where they can deal with the gods.
Luo Ling knew that the key to the matter was whether those altars could be destroyed. At this stage, everyone could only work together to deal with it.
"Magic mirror, where is the nearest beast god altar?"
He could not do much now. Far water could not quench the thirst nearby. He could only help the nearby lords solve the problem, so he prepared to destroy two more beast god altars.
Who knew that the mirror surface of the magic mirror would fluctuate for a while and then there was no follow-up, and no map was revealed at all.
Recently, the questions raised by Luo Ling always exceeded the ability of the True Word Magic Mirror, and anything related to the gods could not be displayed.
Luo Ling was speechless for a while. He originally wanted to ask the magic mirror how to use the little divinity, but now he had to give up. However,
before returning to the territory, he still had a golden treasure chest waiting to be opened, which was regarded as the reward for destroying the beast god altar for the first time. If the players destroy the altar later, they will only get divinity rewards, and it is estimated that there will be no boxes of this level.
At first, there was no chance to touch the golden treasure chest for a long time, but now Luo Ling can open it twice in one day, which is really impressive.
In particular, the Storm Light Armor that was opened before can be said to be put to use immediately, and there is no waste at all.
If it weren't for the fact that this legendary armor comes with a high-intensity range spell, it would take Luo Ling and Brooke a long time to slowly wear down the protective shield.
"What will be opened this time?"
Luo Ling was full of expectations, and then rubbed the baby dragon's head again. With the auspicious beast next to him, good luck must always be there.
Brooke was no longer surprised by this, but the baby dragon widened his eyes, quickly flew to the golden treasure chest, and showed his starry eyes to the golden treasure chest.
It likes this type of shiny things, and brings all kinds of crystals and gems into the stalactite cave.
"If there are more good things, I will give you the box as a gift, how about it?" Luo Ling said to the baby dragon.
The boxes produced by the game system are indeed very exquisite, and according to the current size of the baby dragon, it can let it lie in it and sleep with the gems as a pillow.
"Chirp!"
After staying with the silkworm for a long time, the baby dragon's voice was assimilated. It nodded solemnly. It also wanted big pearls, night pearls, blood corals and so on.
Luo Ling opened the golden treasure chest with piety. A dazzling light burst out from the box, making the people around him turn their heads away for a moment.
Congratulations to the player for winning the Crown of Thorns x1, Emerald Amulet x1, Sea of ​​​​Bana Flower Skill Book x1, and Incomplete Map Fragment x1!
"You are really a little lucky star!" Luo Ling didn't even check the specific attributes of these items. He directly picked up the baby dragon and kissed it on the forehead.
The baby dragon was also very excited. Since the lord was so happy, it meant that the box belonged to him. It couldn't wait to get into the box and throw out those things all at once.
The legendary helmet of the Crown of Thorns, made of sacred thorns, intelligence 10, charm 5, wood attribute spell power 20, wood attribute spell cooldown time reduction 20, illusion resistance 20. Additional skill 1: King of the Forest, cooldown time 72 hours. Additional skill 2: Pain of Blood, cooldown time none.
Luo Ling stared at the powerful crown with two additional skills in his hand. This shape looks too much like the crown on Jesus' head in religious mythology!
The dark gold crown is made of thorns. It looks simple and elegant. It is worthy of being an equipment that can increase 5 points of charm. It looks like an absolute work of art in appearance.
The only thing that bothered him was the spikes on the thorns. Would it really not hurt to wear it on the head?
He tried to wear the crown of thorns on his head, and the whole person instantly became clear-headed, tiredness swept away, and there was no pain at all.
After reading the introduction of the two additional skills, Luo Ling realized that the crown of thorns would not make him uncomfortable unless he activated it himself.
The King of the Forest summons a wood attribute field, which lasts for 30 seconds. The power of the related attribute skills in the field is 500, and the skill consumption is reduced by 80.
Blood Pain converts the player's health into mana through thorns, with a conversion ratio of 21, no cooldown, and is unavailable when health is below 20.
Domain is an important symbol of advancement to Legend. It is quite remarkable that Luo Ling can use the domain for a short time with just one piece of equipment. As a druid, most of his spells are wood-attributed, which is 100% consistent with the domain attribute of the Crown of Thorns.
If you open this domain and cast a spell, you can be invincible!
Blood Pain is easy to understand. The usually hidden spikes will pierce the skin at that moment, and if used properly, you can turn the tables.
In particular, Luo Ling himself can cast healing spells. After casting a healing spell on himself, he can gain mana, but he needs to endure the corresponding pain.
Brooke found that the lord wearing the Crown of Thorns inexplicably became more majestic and no longer looked like an ordinary human being.
Luo Ling now looks very good. He wears a crown of thorns, a light blue storm armor, an eternal wooden staff, and a wood elf blessing necklace. He is tall, with eyes as bright as stars. The natural breath he exudes makes others want to get close to him.
He has the spirit of ruling the entire territory, and his demeanor is undoubtedly revealed.
As for the other items in the gold box, they are all good stuff. Whether you use them yourself or take them out for trading, they are the most valuable stuff.
The Emerald Amulet is a rare equipment with 50 health points and 50 magic points. After wearing it, it restores 2 health points and 2 magic points every hour. It comes with a skill called Powerful Recovery. After using it, it directly restores 50 health points and 50 magic points of the player. The cooling time is 24 hours.
The universal skill of the sea of ​​​​flowers creates a sea of ​​​​flowers in the designated area and drags the enemy into the illusion.
The role of the Emerald Amulet is relatively useless for Luo Ling. He doesn't really need this kind of prop that can restore health and magic points.
But this is a magic weapon for other players!
Not everyone can have single-target and group healing spells and equipment that converts health points into mana points like him. It improves the two basic attributes, can slowly recover, and directly restore skills. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving artifact.
He silently put this equipment in the game package, and then learned the skill of the sea of ​​​​flowers. The hallucinogenic type of skills can just fill his vacancy.
If this large-scale illusion is used properly, it may have a very significant effect, hiding oneself, causing the enemy to kill each other or lose the five senses.
Today's survival point must be saved to upgrade the defense tower. Luo Ling plans to wait until tomorrow to upgrade it from lv1 to at least lv5. Skills that can be upgraded are good skills.
As for the incomplete map fragments, they firmly attracted his attention.
Three pieces have been collected before, and this one is missing!
Luo Ling wanted to see whether this map was a treasure map or a trap. He had to open the silver and gold treasure chests to barely put it together.
He took out the remaining fragments from the game package. The four fragments seemed to be attracted to the center, and then a complete sheepskin map appeared.
Unlike ordinary maps, this map is winding and has words that Luo Ling can't understand, or it would be more appropriate to say graffiti.
If it is text, the game system will automatically convert it into a text language that players can understand, instead of keeping it as it is.
Polly's secret map records the secret tunnel discovered by the dog-headed man Polly.
"A map of dog-headed men? What can those guys hide, some dog-head gold?"
Luo Ling was confused and disappointed.
If it was a kingdom treasure or ruins, there would definitely be greater gains.
He silently put the map back into his pocket, then took the baby dragon out of the golden treasure chest, "I'll keep it for you first, and I'll give it back to you when we return to the territory later."
The baby dragon tilted its head up with an expression of disbelief, just like when Luo Ling was cheated of his New Year's money by his parents when he was a child.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."
The little guy spoke very quickly, continuously, but the size was very different from the treasure chest. It simply lowered its head and bit a corner of the golden treasure chest with its teeth, and flew up by itself. It
was staggering, which made Luo Ling tremble with fear.
He was not worried that the empty treasure chest would be broken, but he was worried that the baby dragon would fall and get injured.
But the little guy was just not used to it at first, and soon showed his ability as a divine beast. Flying on the cloud has been integrated into his blood and bones, and now he has learned to summon a small floating cloud under the treasure chest.
Brooke and Luo Ling walked and watched the baby dragon perform.
The baby dragon that had been flying shakily before now lay directly on the golden treasure chest, concentrating its mind to form a large cloud at the bottom, using it as a flying vehicle, which was fast and stable.
Luo Ling looked at the money-grubbing baby dragon thoughtfully, and said to Brooke, "Do you think I am too kind to them? They have such strong abilities, but I don't work hard to develop and use them."
After all, it is a divine dragon, and the silkworms in the territory are also second-level dragon silkworms. Now they are completely useless, and the strength they should have is not fully utilized.
"Yes, a little bit." Brooke said bluntly, "Although they were born not long ago, they are essentially powerful magic beasts or even divine beasts. The current situation of the territory is not at the stage of enjoying a stable life. If the baby dragon can exert its strength, it will definitely benefit the territory."
A divine beast and a second-level magic beast, in Luo Ling's eyes, they are both cubs and need to be taken good care of.
He knew that he might not be able to be ruthless, so he said to Brook, "Then from today on, I'll ask you to help train them and make them combat-ready as soon as possible."
It's easy to say from the perspective of an observer, but it will be troublesome when it comes to himself.
Brook shot himself in the foot, but facing the lord's order, he could only agree to it with a mouthful of "Yes!"
He had only trained soldiers, and had never trained divine beasts. But this is a good opportunity to learn and understand, and see the route after the legend.
As long as pure-blooded divine beasts grow up safely, they can have top-level combat power, especially creatures like dragons, which can be on par with gods.
Most gods are unwilling to provoke the dragon clan, because there are many old antiques in that clan, with very high combat power, and they are very united and protective.
The baby dragon, who was lying on the treasure chest and enjoying himself, felt a chill on his back. He turned his head and saw Brook's inquiring eyes. He shook his beard, not knowing that he was about to be tortured to despair by this man.
...
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the territory. The residents of the entire territory were busy and basically no one was free.
Vera, who was in charge of internal affairs, was standing next to the wheat field holding a leaf with elf spells on it to fertilize them.
She was now trying to learn all kinds of spells, and she didn't expect to be able to cast them instantly.
The moment she saw Luo Ling, she was even a little dazed and interrupted the fertilization spell.
"Hello, Lord!"
Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the lord had a layer of majesty on him, which made her dare not look directly at him. Usually, this kind of temperament only appeared in people related to the Elf King's Court.
Luo Ling waved his hand and asked, "Nothing happened in the territory after I left, right?"
Vera only then noticed the crown of thorns on his forehead. After sorting out her thoughts, she replied, "Everything in the territory is running according to plan, but there is news from the elves."
"Oh? What did they say? Did they find the trolls?" Luo Ling immediately became interested. He had offended the trolls thoroughly. If there was a team of trolls lurking in the Duskwood, it would be a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all lords.
No territory could survive an attack by trolls!
Vera shook her head and gave a completely different answer. "After Captain Enoch sent Emilia and the others to the Royal Court Orphanage, he received an oracle from the Goddess of Life. The oracle said that the Beast God was about to descend and asked us to leave the Oak Territory as soon as possible."
Luo Ling frowned slightly. The Beast God's arrival was really grand. Not only was there a countdown on the system, but other gods also sent oracles to the believers.
"Are the elves and the human kingdom really not going to help clear the Beast God's altar? Once the Beast God descends, it will not only be our territories that will be damaged."
He did not understand the thoughts of those gods and local forces at all.
After the Beast God descends, it may not only be violent beasts, but it is very likely that the orcs and half-orcs who were expelled from the Northern Wilderness will also return to the hinterland of the continent. They cannot just attack the territory. The base of the human kingdom, elves, and dwarves will also be threatened.
If we stand aside now, we will encounter it later. The Beast God does not seem to be very kind.
Vera was actually very confused. She always thought that the elves would be responsible for similar things. Now she found that the entire tribe that claimed to be the embodiment of justice was particularly silent at this time.
"The Elven King's Court has issued an order to ask the tribesmen who are traveling outside to return as much as possible, otherwise they will not go to help if something happens. Lord Enoch also revealed that the patrol team did not find any trace of the trolls after a carpet search in the Duskwood, and the tribe's astrologer said that the trolls had left."
Luo Ling sighed. This is really a bad year. There is no good news at all!
Obviously, the elves have set up a tight net in the Duskwood, but the trolls can still escape quietly. This is a serious concern.
The patrol team can't wait here all the time. When there is a mistake, the trolls will definitely show up with a large force. Who can stop them then?
"So have they found the underground passage they left? Can the fortune teller predict similar information?"
"It shouldn't be possible. It is said that the best hounds in the tribe could not find the place where the trolls fled. They used secret methods to cover up their own smell. Lord Enoch said that the group of trolls once hovered outside another village, but did not take action. Later, they returned to our village, probably to track the traces of the dog-headed people."
With such an insider of the elves, who knows everything, Luo Ling is really reluctant to let Vera, Violet and other elves leave.
However, he did not force them to leave or sign an agreement. If the other party wants to leave, there will be no obstacles.
"Thank you for your information. These are very helpful to me." Luo Ling smiled.
"This is my duty. It is my honor to share the worries of the lord."
Vera now wants to see how far the Oak Territory can go. She is unwilling to leave this vigorous and rapidly developing newborn territory.
Luo Ling originally wanted to leave to see the silkworm's spinning results today, but a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
Is it possible that Polly's secret map involves a passage to the underground city? The creatures that originally lived in the underground city recorded this passage in the form of graffiti, and then it was torn apart on the surface world.
He did not speak rashly, but prepared to look for accurate information, such as searching in the forum to see if there was anything similar.
Luo Ling returned to the stone house alone, and the baby dragon was taken to the barracks for training by Brooke with a confused look on his face.
Sitting down on the chair in the study, he devoted himself to the forum and found a lot of things.
There was no result when searching for the name Polly, but many players had obtained the secret map of the dog-headed people!
If it was one or two, it would be fine, but hundreds of dog-headed people drew the map. Isn't it too deliberate? Do they have a special hobby of drawing maps?
There must be a mastermind behind the scenes who deliberately spread these map fragments, otherwise it would not be so easy for everyone to collect them.
"Could it be that the game system is quietly guiding us to find the underground city?" A guess flashed in Luo Ling's mind.
He began to doubt the authenticity and destination of this map. It would not be surprising or strange if he was ambushed by creatures such as fire demons or eye demons along the map.
There were a lot of spam posts in the forum, but there was also a lot of useful information. Luo Ling started searching for keywords like divinity, but there was no valuable discussion.
"What's the use of this little bit of divine ability?" Luo Ling began to carefully check all his attributes, skills, and equipment to see if there was anything he could add.
After searching around, he was surprised to find that there was an extra number behind the two treasures and skills he had initially extracted, the True Word Magic Mirror and the Spiritual Perception.
When the skills were extracted, it was clearly stated that the skills could not be upgraded. What does this number mean now?
He controlled his mind and looked at the prompt, whether to consume 1 point of divinity to strengthen the skill Spiritual Perception, and expand the perception range to 50 meters.
The prompt on the other side was whether to strengthen the True Word Magic Mirror, and the areas involved in the truth would be increased.
If possible, Luo Ling wanted to upgrade them all! But if he had to choose one now, he decided to strengthen the True Word Magic Mirror, because he used this treasure more often, and it was no longer useful at the moment.
As for the increase in the range of spiritual perception to 50 meters, it actually did not increase substantially. If he encountered a long-range mage or archer, they could deal with him from hundreds of meters away.
Moreover, Luo Ling had another plan, which was to strengthen the True Word Magic Mirror and use it to help him find more Beast God altars, so as to obtain more divinity.
In this way, he could not only clear the Beast God altars near the Twilight Forest, but also prevent the Beast God from coming to the forest to find trouble for him immediately even after he descended. At the same time, he could obtain divinity to enhance his skills and treasures.
Now Luo Ling was the only one in the entire game world who destroyed the Beast God altar, and he was the first to discover the content about divinity.
If he concealed it, he could indeed obtain divinity in the name of helping others, but he just couldn't get over the barrier in his heart.
With the drive of divinity, perhaps more lords would be willing to take risks, so that more altars could be destroyed, but many lords would definitely die.
Everything has its own two sides, and Luo Ling couldn't make decisions for those lords. Concealing it blindly was not necessarily good for them, but more likely because of selfishness.
After thinking of this, he updated his post that had replied to tens of thousands of pages and wrote that he could gain a little divinity after destroying the Beast God altar, but the disadvantage was that he might be remembered by the stingy Beast God, and it would be easy for him to come to collect debts at that time. After preliminary experiments, the divine power can enhance the treasures and talents we draw when we enter the game. Please treat it rationally and don't blindly give away heads. You can't be resurrected after death.
He just updated these text contents and saw that the countdown number in the upper right corner of the panel changed. The original 999999 became 999999!
Finally, someone successfully destroyed the altar. He is no longer the only one. In fact, there have been people working hard in different corners of the world.
Hello everyone, I am Xia Yu, the 18th in the lord strength ranking. Just now, I went through a lot of hardships and even sacrificed the six soldiers and commanders I recruited to barely destroy the beast god altar.
Lord Luo Ling is not exaggerating at all. The guards near the altar are very strong. There are a total of 2 leader-level monsters with strong strength. With my strength, I can only deal with one of them alone, and the soldiers in the territory are responsible for dealing with the other one, so they suffered heavy casualties.
In order to defeat the protective shield, I used the fire magic scrolls produced by five great magicians and obtained 1 point of divinity and 50 points of stone. The input-output ratio is actually not that big, please consider it carefully.
If you don't have enough strength, don't try to destroy the altar, otherwise the altar will not be destroyed, but you will suffer heavy losses.
Perhaps with Luo Ling as an example in front, Xia Yu also introduced his own battle experience. He didn't have a legendary subordinate like Brook, and thought that his strength of 20 could easily deal with the leader-level monster.
Reality gave him a hard blow, six soldiers died, more than ten were injured, and five scrolls of the great magician level were used, which were all good things that money and resources could not buy!
Fortunately, the beast tide here ended, otherwise the safety of the territory might be seriously threatened.
With the living examples of the players in the leaderboard one after another in front, ordinary lords would not dare to die at this time even if they hoped that the beast tide would disappear.
