Chapter 184 Harvest and Price
At this time, the monsters at the bottom of the river had already been cleared away. Mu You did not encounter any obstruction and quickly swam ashore from the cold river water.
As expected, when Mu You emerged from the water, he was greeted by a row of black muzzles.
Mu You didn't care about this. Such a big thing happened, and there were enemies on the opposite side secretly controlling everything. It was strange that no one was guarding here.
These soldiers are just performing their duties, not to mention that after being equipped with three sets of armor, ordinary firearms are now useless against them.
"We are our own people!"
Zhang Yang had been waiting by the river. When he saw Mu You coming ashore, he hurried over and signaled the soldiers around him to put down their guns.
Mu You walked up to the river bank, wiped water from his face, and showed his ID of the Alien Bureau at the right time. The soldiers saluted him, put away their guns and let him go.
"Brother, are you not injured?"
Zhang Yang hurriedly pulled Mu You aside, checked around him first, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no wounds on his body.
"No, it's a pity that I encountered a group of flying dragons soon after entering and got separated from the main force..."
Mu You briefly explained what happened in the swamp, but only before meeting the black-robed man Rhodes. Naturally, he had to conceal what happened after that. He only said that he had been searching in the swamp for a long time and could not find the large army. Later,
I also discovered that the space in the swamp was disturbed, and felt that it was dangerous, so I turned back early.
"Haha, what's the point? Just as long as nothing happens to you."
Zhang Yang laughed and comforted him, assuming that Mu You was blaming himself for not being able to help.
He didn't care at all about this. You have to know that he had been waiting by the river for several hours just now. During the process, he saw many players retreating and returning one after another. The news they brought back was more horrifying than the last: first they were attacked by a group of flying dragons, and the team suffered heavy casualties.
Later, news came out that the space in the swamp was interfered with, and all teleportation marks immediately became invalid!
This kind of thing was obviously made deliberately by someone, and the purpose was naturally to target players who went to the swamp.
And Mu You was the lowest level among all the people who entered the swamp at that time. The other high-level players came back one by one, but Mu You still didn't return. Zhang Yang felt so uneasy.
It wasn't until he saw Mu You's safe return that the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?"
After coming back to his senses, Zhang Yang noticed that Mu You was still dragging someone in his hand.
Initially, Zhang Yang thought this was another player he had rescued on the way to Muyou, but after taking a closer look, he realized something was wrong. This person's pants had been taken off, and his whole body was tied up with ropes. He looked more like a prisoner.
"This guy is from the Illuminati. After I got separated from the main force on the way, this guy wanted to ambush me, but I captured him..." Mu You said, holding the clothes on the guy's back and carrying him away.
He stood up and shook it like a towel, shaking out the water in his mouth and nose.
He had just dragged this man into the lake in his sleep and poured a lot of water into it. However, after all this trouble, this guy still didn't wake up, but his expression became a little more painful. This shows how abnormal the effect of this sleeping potion is.<
/p>
"What did you say? People from the Illuminati attacked you?"
Zhang Yang was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, so I estimate that the Illuminati is involved behind this incident..."
Mu You didn't say too much. When other players come back, more evidence will surface when these things come back. By then, everything will be revealed naturally, and there is no need for him to say more.
Zhang Yang was shocked when he heard this, and his brows immediately wrinkled.
As a branch director of the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau, he certainly understands what this situation means.
Zhang Yang nodded solemnly: "Okay, I understand. Leave this person to me. You go have a rest and eat something. I will arrange a flight to take you back later."
"Okay."
Mu You handed the prisoner and the bloody magatama to Zhang Yang and asked him to help return it to the Blood Emperor.
Mu You then returned to the prepared rest room, changed his clothes, and took out his mobile phone from the lock core backpack while eating the lunch box prepared by the army.
Xiaoya and Lin Xue sent him a lot of messages on WeChat, asking about his situation. Mu You glanced at them for a while, replied to them one by one, reported that they were safe, and then clicked on the game "The Fool".
When the game was launched, we were still in the Qingnang tribe in the Elf Forest, repeatedly slaying trolls.
Xiaoya's game character just stayed aside.
On the day he left, the two girls took turns patrolling. In addition to completing the task of spawning monsters, they also guarded the Tree of Life to prevent it from being poached by trolls in advance.
Mu You controlled the character to walk to the location of the Tree of Life. The current Tree of Life has grown to a height of 65 meters, and it stands out in the entire Elf Forest.
Muyou used Crazy Growth ten times as usual to complete today's 'birth', and then explored it.
[The Tree of Life is approaching maturity: The lush branches and leaves of the Tree of Life provide abundant life for the surrounding plants. The current height is 88.5 meters, but the excessive catalytic growth has also caused the potential of this sapling to be quickly exhausted.
Its wood quality and final height will be much lower than normal ancient living trees.】
It is indeed close to maturity!
If this rate continues, in one day, that is, after the "fertilization" is completed tomorrow, this tree of life should be fully mature, and the height will definitely exceed one hundred meters by then.
As for excessive growth that leads to the exhaustion of potential, Mu You can't do anything about it. He doesn't have to wait for hundreds of years for this tree to grow into an ancient tree. He can only use this method of pulling out seedlings to encourage growth. The quality of the wood will be worse if it is worse.
, as long as it can be used as the keel of the ship.
In this way, he can harvest the Tree of Life tomorrow morning and send it to the pirates so that they can start repairing the ship. He just doesn't know if it can be repaired before he comes in next time.
When Mu You mentioned the 'door', he thought of the escaped twins again.
It is said that the door of his house opens half a day later than the door of Taurus. When he comes in next time, the door of Taurus will open earlier than him, and Gemini will definitely have taken people to hide in by then.
Once inside the door, it will be difficult to catch him again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But this is easy to solve. Among the rewards for Muyou’s Elf Horn mission, there is a cooling-down reduction blessing, which can reduce the cooling time by one-tenth.
When this blessing acts on the door, it will open once every ten days instead of once every nine days, which in turn will open half a day earlier than the Taurus door!
Mu You got some pen and paper and calculated the time.
His door was opened at ten o'clock in the evening last Friday. According to the nine-day cycle, the next time it will be opened will be at ten o'clock in the evening this Sunday.
The earliest time for the Taurus door to open is 10:35 a.m. next Monday.
In other words, he will have more than twelve hours to deal with the twins.
Enough!
Mu You nodded, took out the Elf Horn in the game, clicked on the text, and selected 'Delivery Task' in the interaction.
[The elf fairy Aureya Blesser appears in front of you, and you take out the ten World Tree leaves you collected. After the elf fairy inspected it, she approved that your mission was completed.]
[The fairies are very satisfied with your speed and decided to give you a blessing.]
[Please choose one of the following two blessings to receive.]
[Permanently gain 7 points of free attributes.]
[The cooldown time of all your own magic and non-relic items is permanently reduced by 10%.]
There are two options. Mu You took the pocket watch and tried to choose the attributes first.
After seeing that there were indeed seven more free attributes in the panel, he immediately went back in time.
Unfortunately, as soon as time goes back, the attribute points are immediately eliminated.
"Sure enough, blessings cannot be in vain..."
Mu You shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to choose the second option honestly.
[You have successfully obtained the fairy's blessing, and the cooldown time of all magic and non-relic items has been reduced.]
This blessing can only be used on magic and ordinary props, such as rejuvenation, immortality, and thunder scepters. However, the cooling time of relics such as time pocket watches, elf horns, and thousands of faces is still fixed and cannot be reduced by blessings.
Mu You was checking the latest status of his various magics when suddenly there was a commotion outside, which soon turned into cheers.
The cheers were quickly contagious and spread throughout the entire camp in the blink of an eye.
Mu You's heart moved. It was estimated that the main players were back and brought news of the success of the mission.
The fact was just as he expected, this mission was a great success. It not only broke the swamp altar, ended the fish-men's offensive, but also severely damaged the power of the Ten Commandments.
Moreover, with the more than 20 players who have obtained the curse of the altar, the initiative of the door at the bottom of the river will be in the hands of humans from now on. The monsters on the opposite side cannot invade, and the players on the earth can go to the swamp on the other side at any time.
Brushing monsters to gain experience is, in a sense, a blessing in disguise.
Of course, the cost is not without it. If we don’t resist the murloc invasion in advance, we will suffer casualties. More importantly, after this fight, the master players will lose a lot of strength.
Six great players were directly downgraded below level 15, and other great players were also downgraded, losing a lot of experience.
From this point of view, the goal of the Ten Commandments Society has actually been achieved this time. After all, the fundamental purpose of this incident is to weaken the power of players on the earth. However, it was not possible because of the intervention of Mu You and the Secret Art Association.
