As the Hongze River has the existence of a river god, it is not difficult to sort it out. The reason why the Hongze River God spent many years of effort in the past and was unable to manage it well is essentially because of the occasional interference from Talos, the god of natural disasters.
The large amount of water vapor brought by the storm contains the curses of the gods, as well as the strange spirits hidden in it. The Hongze River often breeds some fey life that is full of malice towards humans, or it stimulates some local creatures to turn towards ferocious beasts and beasts.
Ghost direction transformation.
Therefore, when Milo started combing the river with the mountain seal in hand, he immediately discovered that the biggest problem in combing was not to solve the existing problems, but to face the new problems that would arise later, as well as some hidden problems.
Old question.
"No! There are too many rancid mud monsters."
Standing on the bank of the river and cleaning up a few putrid mud monsters, Milo felt that something was not right.
The putrid mud monster is not a native monster of the Dragon Land, but a variant influenced by the gods. Compared with ordinary mud monsters, the putrid mud monster is not so averse to areas full of light and extreme temperatures, and prefers to stay on the edges of rivers or at the bottom of rivers.
To reproduce, although they will swallow up the garbage and dirt inside the river, they themselves have abilities similar to the aura of sewage.
The nature of this aura is similar to the Witch of the West's withering witchcraft, but it is different from the fact that the witch can curse an animal, plant-type creature, or a piece of land to cause it to wither or die.
Sewage aura can only act on water sources. Its nature is similar to polluting water bodies with evil energy or negative energy, which will affect a still water area or organisms with aquatic habitats and water subspecies. If it is used to pollute drinking water areas, all uses
All creatures in the water source must pass a Fortitude save, otherwise they will suffer from nausea, illness, fainting and other abnormal phenomena, and most contaminated water cannot quench thirst.
Hongze River God casually replied: "Is there anything strange about this? These things are affected by the curse of the God of Disaster (God of Natural Disasters), and they will breed in batches every once in a while, and they cannot be killed at all."
"Always this much?"
Milo frowned and walked closer. Hongze River God saw this and asked: "Is there any problem?"
"I have faced the power of the God of Disaster. His authority is more inclined to the angry side of nature. Although monsters and ferocious beasts also fall under his jurisdiction, they are not very deep, and that one's authority is not very deep.
It is not suitable for breeding rancid mud monsters. The most important thing is that I did not feel the power of the God of Disaster in these mud monsters. Instead, there are some magic-like or traces of spells."
“You mean evil [anti] cultists were born in this area?”
Hongze River God's expression suddenly changed and he asked in a low voice: "Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure yet, so I plan to find a helper."
"Help?" Hongze River God was stunned for a moment, and looked at Milo with some doubts in his eyes. Milo did not answer, but flew towards the place where Bai Ao was previously buried with the water mist.
When Bai Ao died, Milo tried to preserve some of his spirituality and sealed it in Miaoyoutian. Now that he has awakened the power of the Jiangling clan and obtained the Mountain Seal, he can naturally choose to awaken it.
Milo walked to the small grave, stretched out a hand, and a little spiritual light emerged.
In Miaoyoutian, the Miluo Treasure Scroll naturally unfolded, and one name after another appeared in front of Miluo.
"Bai Ao's spirituality is still too weak now. Even if I deliberately suppress the pressure brought by the blessing of the name and improve its spirituality, it still cannot bear a name that is too high, so I will choose to start from the eighth level."
Milo's eyes passed over one name after another, but he always felt that something was inappropriate. In the end, he directly created a new name based on the actual situation of Bai Ao and its current state of being dead and buried in the soil.
.
[Shinto·Rhinoceros from the eighth level]
Reaching out a little, the name fell on Bai Ao's spirituality and fell into the grave. Combined with the concept of Bai Ao's corpse, it condensed into an illusory dog-shaped fey covered in snow-white body.
"Woof?"
Bai Ao woke up and shook his head. Looking at the human being in front of him who felt very close to him, he couldn't help but walk to him and wanted to stick out his tongue and lick his palm.
Milo touched his head, and the smell of putrid mud monster appeared on his fingertips. After letting Bai Ao sniff it, he whispered: "Go and find the owner of these smells."
"Woof woof~"
When Bai Ao heard the words, he immediately ran towards the distance, and from time to time he escaped into the ground and appeared several meters away.
The Hongze River God who followed closely looked at Bai Ao and was stunned for a moment. He did not see Milo who created Bai Ao. He only thought that it was the helper Milo said and could not help but whisper: "There is someone nearby.
This kind of fey life? Also, why does it listen to Milo's words so much? Is this the benefit of being born with high charm?"
Although he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, the River God hurriedly followed him. After all, Milo was now a treasure. Although he had good combat power, he had only gained power for a short time and might not have much combat experience, so he couldn't help but care.
Soon, the River God and Milo were taken to a cave near the cave by Bai Ao, where some deformed monsters lived.
"Bullying monsters?"
Hongze River God said, explaining to Milo the origin of this kind of unusual monster.
"It is a deformed and mutated product of fey life. It likes to destroy all goodness, innocence and beauty in the world. It is said to be born from the emotion of fear. According to records, as long as a certain kind of fey life is overwhelmed by fear, it will become
They act as bullies, and once there are more than a certain number of bullies in a place, their nests will naturally be born."
"This type of life likes to attack humans from dark corners, relying on their talent [mental torture] to project horrific hallucinations into the minds of their prey, driving them into madness, and finally watching them being swallowed by fear and turning into their own kind.
"
Waves of water appeared around Hongze River God, trapping all the bully monsters in it, and his expression became a little strange: "It stands to reason that if there are bully monsters nearby, then the creatures living here should not be so peaceful.
Yes, why have I never heard of widespread panic anywhere?"
Milo looked at the weak and uncoordinated auras on those bully monsters and whispered: "Maybe it's because these bully monsters were not born naturally. Bai Ao found the source of their abnormal auras."
Milo looked at Bai Ao who had bitten a bully monster and issued a new order.
Accompanied by a low growl from his throat, Bai Ao's teeth emitted a dull spiritual light, biting into pieces the bully monster in his mouth, then lowered his head, sniffed, and ran in this direction.
The river god used his palms and the waves collided, crushing all the bully monsters, and then followed Milo and Bai Ao to a river, where a dozen women were washing clothes, talking and laughing among themselves.
Bai Ao, who rushed here, raised his head and kept sniffing the scent in the air, but he seemed unable to distinguish it. Feeling a little frustrated, he came to Milo with his tail between his legs, lowering his head and not daring to look at his master.
Milo knelt down and stroked Bai Ao's hair that ordinary people couldn't touch. He chuckled and said, "You are already great. I have found that guy."
Bai Ao raised his head fiercely, his eyes became very bright, and his tail flicked, looking very happy.
While Milo continued to stroke its hair, he stared at a thin woman with an ugly face who was washing clothes on the shore. The Hongze River God had not discovered the problem at first, but when Milo stared at one person, he also
Condensing the weak degraded divine power in his eyes, he immediately broke through the other party's disguise and said angrily: "Ye Hag?"
The hag is an ancient existence. It is said to originate from the Fairy Wilderness. It has an ugly face that is shriveled and dotted with moles and sarcoma. Its long, broken hair is like withered grass, and its skin covered with pits is even more scary. It is my favorite to use on weekdays.
The slender fingertips that can easily cut flesh and blood and destroy other people's skin think that is a charming sight. At the same time, hags have many magical powers, some of which are magic-like abilities that are close to the energy of gods.
Therefore, this kind of monster arrogantly believes that its magic can challenge the gods, so it has never looked down upon other life.
The night hag is a relatively common type of hag, and equally common are the demon hag, green hag and sea hag.
Just like the hags, they secretly go out at night to spread fear, pretending to be travelers in need of help and hunting the unwary.
Night hags are both evil killers and greedy soul brokers. What they like to do most is to intrude their victims' dreams night after night, and eventually turn their poor, tortured souls into gems.
For the Night Hag, all corruption and depravity of mortals can bring him endless happiness, so it expects to see all positive things turn into negatives, loves to see love turn into trouble, friendliness turn into hatred, enthusiasm turn into indifference,
Kang becomes selfish.
From this point of view, it is not a strange thing for bullies to appear nearby.
But Milo, who could see more clearly than the Hongze River God, lowered his voice and said: "It's not a hag. A simple hag cannot hide from your perception and eyes. She is a substitute. Of course, if the purity of the blood reaches her level, it is said that it is
It’s not a big problem for the hag.”
"Replacement?" Hongze River God looked at Milo, his eyes filled with anger.
There are usually two types of hag reproduction. The most common one is to devour human babies. The hag will steal the child from the cradle or even from the mother's womb with special magic, then absorb the poor little guy and repopulate it in the belly.
Pregnancy. After about a week, the hag will be able to give birth to a human-like baby girl, and she can maintain her human appearance until her thirteenth birthday. But as long as her thirteenth birthday passes, the baby girl will be replaced.
The hag bloodline in the child's body will awaken and eventually slowly transform into an existence exactly like its mother.
Another kind is the product of the intercourse between hags and other beings, usually humans or sub-humans. The children born in this way can maintain the racial characteristics closer to their fathers before they know the identity of their mothers, but once the replacement children know their own
Her bloodline will transform into something like a warlock, and she will gradually learn some of the witchcraft of witches, and her own bloodline and subconscious will urge her to find her mother, and eventually become the same kind as her mother.
For Hongze River God, the emergence of any kind of replacement is not a good thing, and the former is more worthy of death than the latter.
And that night, the hag also obviously noticed the gaze of Milo and others. The moment the two got close, a large amount of strange green smoke appeared around them. Wherever the fog passed, the river water became turbid, the soil became rancid, and the vegetation was also destroyed.
withered.
"It's really you!"
Hongze River God was furious. He felt the domain power of [Corruption] and [Disease] from the mist. Although it was incomplete, it had already been revealed that the guy in front of him was one of the main factors that had made it difficult to clean up the river for many years.
The anger in his heart drove the river to roll, but the river god did not lose his mind. He first dragged the women into the river one by one, and drove the water to send them away. He himself called on the strong wind to try to blow away the mist.
"No!"
When Milo opened his mouth, he also used the wind-making technique to drive the strong wind.
Compared with the spell-like, or divine-like abilities that the Hongze River God gained after becoming a god, Milo's wind-making technique is considered a second-level magic in the Western Continent, but he had previously explored some of the powers mastered by the god of natural disasters through bloodline sublimation and rituals.
The field has certain bonuses in terms of wind.
Coupled with Milo's extremely high magical ability, he easily took control of the wind and gathered the surrounding mist into a ball around him.
The Hongze River God was shocked at first and then realized that if the fog was allowed to disperse, the surrounding land and river water would inevitably be polluted, and he didn't know how long it would take to control it.
'Sure enough, I still prefer close combat rather than thinking about many situations and casting spells in conjunction.'
As a warrior who guarded the frontier in the past, Hongze River God quickly adjusted his mentality. With the help of the river god's ability, he used the water to propel himself and quickly rushed towards the night hag. While escaping, the night hag continued to cast spells and disease spells.
Low-level spells such as blindness, deafness, weakening ray, exhaustion ray, and ice touch were cast one after another. Milo's eyes lit up slightly, and he carefully observed the operation rules of those spells.
Compared with the mana and many spell-like abilities he gained after awakening his bloodline, Night Hag's spells are obviously unique. They are more powerful than the mana they consume, and they obviously borrow external forces for assistance.
Milo followed the subtle fluctuations that occurred during the spell's effect and saw the energy network scattered everywhere. He also saw that this huge network was suppressed by two huge divine powers and was unable to move.
'It turns out that through the magic network, the threshold for learning and casting is lowered, and many special spells can be formed in a very short time. The price is to impose certain restrictions on some people with high natural intelligence. Well, it seems that it can't be done.
Say it's a restriction, but the habit of casting spells with the help of energy networks makes them more inclined to think in a similar way?'
Milo secretly groaned in his heart, thinking about the concept of magic net. Bai Ao on the side watched Milo staring at the night hag with a gloomy expression. Hongze River God was delayed because he needed to deal with various medicine bottles thrown by the hag.
Can't take it down.
Bai Ao lowered his body and disappeared very suddenly. The next second he appeared next to Ye Hao Po again, opening his mouth and biting her calf.
As soon as the faint spiritual light on the teeth came into contact with the Night Hag's skin, bursts of pungent white smoke immediately emitted.
"Woof woof woof..."
Bai Ao was hit by the smoke, and immediately let out a scream and ran to the side, feeling very embarrassed.
Milo summoned it to his side, drove the water to disperse the dirt on its body, especially in its mouth, and then Bai Ao felt better.
When he turned his head again to look at the Night Hag who had been knocked to the ground by Hongze River God, the disgust and rejection in her eyes were obvious.
It ran to Night Hag, kept barking, and tried to bite several times, but always stayed back because of the previous stimulation.
Seeing this scene, the Hongze River God laughed loudly. He turned his palm over and the flowing water directly strangled the night hag. Countless filthy spiritual lights emerged from the hag's body, polluting the flowing water and making the originally good-humored River God look pale.
Change.
He hurriedly dispersed the water, found a few instruments that exuded a faint magical light, looked at Milo and asked: "Can these things still be used?"
Milo stepped forward and took a look, not wanting to touch these filthy things at all. He pointed at a talisman with corpse oil and a strange stone and said: "These two can still be used normally, and the others may be more
It may be contaminated with some negative energy and is not suitable for long-term wear.”
After saying that, Milo asked Bai Ao again if he could still feel any similar aura around him.
Hearing this, Bai Ao sniffed around, and then the whole dog stood there blankly. It sniffed around again without giving up, then whimpered and came to Milo's side with its tail between its legs, letting out a frustrated bark.
"Because the hag's blood stimulated you, can't you smell other smells now? It's okay, it will be the same if we continue in a few days."
Milo touched Bai Ao's head, explained to the river god, and then took Bai Ao back to Hongze City.
Qiong Yun, who had been waiting for him for a long time, bowed slightly to show respect when he saw Milo. Then Milo's nephew rushed out like a firecracker and threw himself into Milo's arms.
A force that was beyond Milo made him take two steps back, and at the same time he hugged the boy tightly. He just heard him crying: "Uncle is bad! He promised to come back soon, but he asked me
I’ve been waiting for so long. I’m almost worried to death!”
"Uncle is here to find a friend. Come, let's see who this is?"
Milo said, summoning Bai Ao.
In fact, as early as the moment Milo's nephew appeared, Bai Ao was a little excited. It didn't know why it was like this, but it just wanted to get close to the boy. In comparison, it was more of a kind of obedience and kindness to Milo.
obey.
The boy poked his head out of Milo's arms, and when he saw Bai Ao's appearance, his eyes suddenly turned red: "Bai Ao, is that you? Bai Ao!"
"Wow?" Bai Ao was a little surprised as to why the boy knew his name, but he still instinctively stepped forward, stuck out his tongue, and licked his cheek, which made the boy very excited. Milo stroked his head and stabilized it.
The moment he lost his body, he held him in his arms.
"Bai Ao! Bai Ao..."
The boy cried again, and Milo patted his back gently, waiting for him to calm down little by little, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Holding him in his arms, Milo looked at Qiong Yun again and said softly: "I've been waiting for a long time. This child rarely leaves me. It's the first time I've been apart for so long, so I'm inevitably a little excited."
"This is human nature."
Qiong Yun's attitude was very respectful. She bowed slightly and said, "Previously, Teacher Shao Hua told me that your situation is quite special, so I asked you to wait for you again. Are you planning to rest now or have a meal?"
"
"Are there any books that can be read through? Especially what happened in the last hundred years, as well as the updates to some spells and professions."
Although Milo asked this question, he had actually read the collection of books in Hongze City when he was hiding in Miaoyoutian and wandering around. However, some things were not easy to express, so he wanted to use the book collection to let others
Find a reason for yourself.
It's just that Milo is willing to hide his unusual things, but not many. For example, he showed some understanding of magic instruments when he was around the river god. In addition, when he asked about the collection of books, he specifically asked about historical content.
It can also reflect some problems in itself, making Qiong Yun even more afraid to be careless.
The surrounding witches guarding Hongze City immediately sent many classics. As Milo was flipping through them, he was also carefully sensing the power of the name blessed by the boy in his arms.
The name Milo originally left for the boy was [Shinto · Eighth Grade Protector Divine Weapon]. He wanted to control him to escape far away when necessary, but the impact of his sudden rush towards him was beyond Milo's.
As expected, he carefully sensed the boy's situation and was surprised to find that he had begun to interact with the name, received more blessings, and was gradually controlling the power of the name.
Milo was a little surprised when he discovered this. While he was helping the boy further consolidate the power of his name, he was also carefully exploring the boy's talent.
After reading the secret detection techniques from the past, Milo felt a sense of surprise again.
'This kid's talent is too good.'
After careful perception, Milo determined that his nephew's talent was very high. Not only did he have good strength attributes, but he also had good agility, intelligence and perception. In comparison, his charm was slightly different.
Milo himself calculated the child's talent and found that he could reach the threshold of most professions.
Compared to the title of genius that he obtained through the power of his own body and Miao Youtian, his nephew's talent can be regarded as a real genius, and it is the kind of genius that is almost a cliff-edge away from the next level.
'But in this case, how should this boy choose his future path? The blood of the Jiang Ling clan may not be suitable for this boy. If we follow the normal process, it is actually quite good to choose the combat system. As long as I find him another eagle-shaped one.
It will be much easier for a fey life, or a special eagle life with extraordinary power, to play and master the name in the future. But it seems a waste of his intelligence not to be in the mage line...'
Thinking of this, Milo couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
