Chapter 1502: People die for money, birds die for food!
Stupid is stupid, stupid is stupid.
In the next ten minutes, Delenn perfectly demonstrated that you just have to work hard and leave the rest to adrenaline.
After eating two pieces of baked potatoes, he stood up quickly and followed Somo at a trot out of the dungeon.
In the middle of the process, the remaining three members of the Red Moon Team who were still tied to the pillars struggled wildly and wanted to ask for help, but he ignored them the whole time and had no intention of begging Somo to put these people down.
"I can live because I am pious enough. If you don't worship the Stone God, you will die!"
At first, Delen just comforted himself like this.
But when he ran out of the dungeon and breathed fresh air, an inexplicable thought entered his mind.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he came back to his senses and looked at Somo with an extremely complicated expression.
"Let's go, why are you still standing there? Do you want to be discovered?"
Sumo pushed, and the two of them hurried toward the exit under the cover of night.
Perhaps he was "lucky" and hid all the way to Tibet without being discovered by the guards of the Fire Fist tribe.
"I can only take you here. You should be familiar with the rest of the way. Let's go quickly."
When they arrived at the exit, Sumo tried to leave, but was caught by Delen.
"Brother Chen, you saved my life. I can't repay you for your great kindness. But if you go back now, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the leader of the Fire Fist tribe, and Huang Xiangyu will come looking for you!"
"Why don't you come with me, join the snow bandits, and be free."
He was extremely serious when he spoke, and it could be seen that he was really thinking about the 'Chen Shen' brother who let him out.
"I won't leave, don't worry, since it's the instructions given to me by the Stone God, everything will be fine!"
Sumo showed a confident expression.
"But you must pay attention when you go back. The Stone God's power is currently limited and can only protect the believers in the tribe. If you leave too far, you will definitely not be able to receive blessings."
"And the secret killing team will not give up. Their high priest is missing and they will definitely arrest you for interrogation. There will be one more level for you to pass by then!"
Delen was a little flattered by Sumo's huge change in attitude.
However, when he thought of the special idea that appeared in his mind before, he could understand this change of attitude.
"Then I'm leaving. Take care, brother!"
After taking a deep look at Somo, Delen said nothing, took a step forward, and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Ten potatoes were not enough for him to return to Qinggang City.
But in the previous camp, before everyone left, they saved some supplies and went into battle lightly.
Delen decided to rest there for two days at the camp and wait until the temperature warmed up before setting out on the road.
This way, even if your mind and body are not fully recovered, you can return home safely.
"We let him leave like this without explaining anything. Will misjudgment lead to big trouble?"
Thomas slowly walked out of the darkness.
The old priest was obviously worried, worried that Soma would let people go after so easily instigating rebellion.
After all, from beginning to end, Sumo didn't even tell Delen what to do after returning to Qinggang City.
"No rush, let the bullets fly for a while."
Sumo smiled, turned around and walked into the tribe.
Come to the shrine.
Soma calmly looked at the statue in front of him.
A properties panel automatically expands.
[Advanced Prayer Statue (Special)]
[Description]: A prayer statue made of special materials and has incredible special abilities.
【Function】:
1. When the petitioner faces the area covered by the statue, his wishes will be sensed and recorded. Each person can record up to three wishes.
2. Up to three petitioners can be bound to track wishes regardless of distance.
3. Within the scope of the statue, after the user fulfills the wish of the petitioner, he can use the statue to transmit his voice once through his mind.
[Current coverage area]: Within five kilometers
【Number of people who have visited】:124
【Recorded wishes】:319
[Current energy storage value]: 2.71% (the energy storage value can only be used to upgrade the statue and cannot be withdrawn for use)
[Evaluation]: All special items can be recycled by the system. The recycling price before this item is not bound is: 1000 special survival points. It cannot be recycled after being bound.
When he first obtained the primary prayer statue, apart from the convenience of winning people's hearts, Soma didn't realize that it had any other uses.
Afterwards, the special survival points were accumulated more than ten times, and the system also rewarded several idols one after another.
There are ordinary primary ones, the largest in number, all of which have been turned into special survival points by the 300 recycling price given by the system.
There are also three intermediate items, which were left by Sumo in several towns in the Tianyuan territory.
In the end, the high-level prayer statue in front of him was left. Considering that it was a battle of faith, he put it in the soul tray and brought it in in advance.
"If it can be combined with the actual situation, this statue is really useful."
Soma raised his hand and placed it on the head of the statue.
A more detailed panel unfolded, which recorded dense information, with hundreds of lines.
[Believer: Thomas]
[Wish: Strengthen yourself and protect the tribe]
[Methods of realization: Rewards of divine spells, divine mines, tribal development, expansion, etc. are all considered as fulfilling wishes]
[Reward: The energy storage value is greatly increased, and the number of sound transmissions is +1]
[Believer: Huang Xiangyu]
[Wish: I hope to be appreciated by the clan leader, reused, and gain status improvement]
[Method of implementation: promoting positions and assigning tasks]
[Reward: Energy storage value slightly increased, number of voice transmissions +1]
[Believer: Sun Liu Bang]
[Wish: Solve the shortage of supplies as soon as possible to avoid being blamed by the clan leaders and priests]
[Method of implementation: Obtaining supplies]
[Reward: Energy storage value slightly increased, number of voice transmissions +1]
Compared with the lower level, which can only record three types of wishes, the high-level idols have made great progress and are now complete enough to record specific contents.
Of course, the content also depends on the person making the wish.
For example, Thomas is relatively reserved when he prays, and only has the broad concept of strengthening himself and protecting the tribe.
Therefore, whether it is the improvement of one's own strength or the development of the tribe, it can be regarded as fulfilling one's wish.
Others in the Fire Fist tribe are much more straightforward, and their methods of completing tasks are also very fixed.
But Sumo didn't really care about these things at the moment.
Although he is a little curious about what the high-level prayer statue will look like if it continues to be upgraded, it is not easy to fulfill each wish.
Instead of accumulating slowly now, it is better to develop the tribe well. When the population increases, and issue a few targeted policies, you may be able to quickly accumulate enough energy storage value to upgrade the idol.
With something in mind, Sumo quickly flipped through the panel and found the marked Delen.
Sure enough, after escaping, Delen's wish had been refreshed.
And once refreshed, there will be three!
[Wish: Return to Qinggang City safely]
[Wish: Never let the secret killing team discover the problem and cause death]
[Wish: Wait for the opportunity to fulfill the instructions of the Stone God, wash away the mortal body, and become a priest] "That's it!"
Sumo glanced around, noticed the bottom wish, and finally felt relieved.
Among all the snowmen, Delenn is indeed a special one.
Everyone else was afraid of death, but he was the only one who was unwilling to die in this unknown Fire Fist tribe.
That's enough.
Reluctance will make people survive in desperate situations, and it will also make people take desperate risks in key choices.
If you are an ordinary person, you may be able to change your mind when you encounter trouble.
But the probability of Delen changing is very small. Unless it is a fatal situation, he will definitely find a way to revive him.
"Besides, what I promised him was to become a priest. This is his biggest obsession. Rather than stay in the Red Moon Team and grind slowly, it would be better to fulfill the Stone God's instructions and reach the sky in one step."
Somo nodded and left the shrine to give Thomas a few words of comfort.
The old priest didn't know whether he heard it or not. Anyway, he just pretended to put away the worry on his face.
After Sumo left, he immediately went to Huang Xiangyu worriedly, planning to reinforce the ecstasy array.
Even if more snowbands come next time, they can still stop one or two and give them time to escape.
Time passed, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Deep winter has finally come to an end.
The temperature outside has also slowly risen from the terrifying minus 30 to 40 degrees to around minus 10 degrees.
It is estimated that in another ten days or so, deep winter will be completely over and spring will usher in.
The spring period is short, only about one month from beginning to end.
Counting the time needed to open up the land in the early stage, if it were a group of ordinary people farming, they would definitely not be able to grow many crops.
However, in the world of faith, priests have various magical powers.
For example, the Hongyu tribe, such as the Dilong tribe.
The magical skills mastered by the former can deeply moisten the ground, greatly reducing the difficulty of digging frozen soil.
The latter can plow the land directly out of thin air and complete the development of more than ten acres of land in one day.
The priests of the two tribes often cooperate during the farming period and bundle sales, making a lot of money.
Soma was also a little jealous of this, and finally planned to upgrade one or two divine arts and let Thomas, a priest in the battle direction, participate.
There is no other reason.
The Fire Fist tribe's supplies are at their lowest.
This time it was not a joke, nor was it a trick to trick the prisoners.
Because the temperature this winter is so cold, the tribe's food consumption has increased by about 30% compared to usual.
This caused the materials that could have been used to transition to the end of the farming period to be consumed one step ahead of schedule.
If he couldn't find another way to obtain supplies, he, the clan leader, would have to be shameless and go to the surrounding tribes to borrow them.
But I can't guarantee how much I can borrow. After all, several tribes in the Fire Fist Alliance have also been plundered.
"I still took the arrangement of the Snow Bandits for granted and ignored the objective factors. I thought that Delen would return to Qinggang City safely and that he would be able to accomplish this without being challenged by the Secret Killing Team. But who would have thought that the Secret Killing Tribe failed.
It’s embarrassing that a group of people were frightened by the death of the high priest.”
"But if you think about it carefully, you can figure out that the world of faith respects strength. Priests and mortals are already two different classes. The high priests are already dead. Those snow bandit teams who still have ideas will definitely be more careful. Besides, when it comes to fire
The rewards for killing orders in the Fist Tribe are not generous, so there is no need to risk one's life in the depths of winter."
It has been half a month since Delen escaped. Through the changes in his wishes, we can probably understand his current encounters and difficulties.
The first wish and the second wish have all been fulfilled.
This means that he returned to Qinggang City safely and escaped the pursuit and interrogation of the secret killing team.
However, the third wish was never fulfilled, which proved that no snow bandits took the bait.
Before everyone faced the fact that the high priest was dead, even with Delen's explanation, they still shied away.
"The two magic spells are two hundred and three hundred. Five hundred is five hundred. The snow bandit's path is unworkable. It's not a waste of time to start with tribal development."
Sumo muttered to himself and confirmed the upgrade.
Two green rays of light flashed, and two more parchments appeared on the table, recording new first-level magic spells respectively.
According to Soma's ideas, he deliberately avoided the magical direction of the Red Rain Tribe and the Dilong Tribe.
A technique called 'Growth Technique' can slightly reduce the growth rate of crops by stimulating plants to absorb nutrients from the land.
The other one is called 'Rain Spreading Technique', which can condense rain clouds, irrigate the land, and slightly increase the fertility of the land.
"With these two magical arts, Thomas finally no longer has to hang out in the tribe and greet people every day."
Shaking the parchment, Somo breathed a sigh of relief.
With systematic protection, he can block the mental interference caused by Thomas's use of the magic of greeting.
But the rest of the tribe was miserable, being caught and tortured by Thomas day by day.
If the priest's status was not so high, people would probably come to complain every two days.
Somo called for Thomas.
The old priest was still worried when he entered the door, but turned into ecstasy after seeing the parchment on the table.
"Clan leader, you haven't gone out yet. Why do you have new magic?"
"This is a reward given to us by the Stone God. I hope we can speed up development in the next farming period."
Is it the Stone God?
Having witnessed "miracles" many times, Thomas immediately picked up the parchment without doubting his presence.
Then came the exclamation that Sumo had long expected.
"Oh my god, the Growth Technique can speed up the growth of crops. This is so unbelievable. I haven't heard of any priests mastering similar magic within hundreds of kilometers."
"Rain spreading technique, okay, okay, Priest Yuying's magic can only be used on the lower levels of the earth, but this magic can be used on the sky, so there is no conflict, otherwise she might blame us for stealing business!"
Not to mention going out to make money, just using it in your own tribe is a huge help.
Thomas's eyes were straight, and he didn't bother to talk to Soma, so he immediately learned two magical arts.
When a fourth-level priest learns the first-level magic, he will naturally have it at his fingertips.
"The growth technique can be used two hundred times a day, and the area of effect is one acre of land each time. It's not bad, and it can speed up my promotion to the fifth-level priest!"
"The Rain Spreading Technique, this restriction is really weird. Not only is it limited to fifty times a day, there is also a limit on the amount of rain."
Ever since he obtained the magic of greeting, Thomas talked more and more every day.
However, Somo sat aside and said nothing, so he could only talk to himself.
After mumbling for a while, Thomas thought of something again and frowned.
"Clan leader, it's okay for me to go out to take orders, but what should I do if the snow bandits attack me on the way?"
"Snowman?"
Sumo was silent for a moment, this was indeed a problem.
Thomas is the key to the Fire Fist tribe's ability to gain a foothold. Once he leaves, the tribe's combat effectiveness will be basically zero.
But at this moment, a message came from the giant stone statue.
Sumo's face moved slightly. After checking the information, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"You are right, man will die for money and birds will die for food. There are really people who are not afraid of death!"
