Chapter 1503 In the third month, the sacred mines are finally ready!
Waiting for winter to come, waiting for spring to come.
The snow bandits lingering in Qinggang City finally ran out of supplies, ended hibernation, and began to go out to look for food.
The mission hall was crowded with people.
Each team has sent manpower representatives, ready to take advantage of the chaotic situation at the beginning of spring to make a profit first.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for each tribe to finish their spring plowing and be more vigilant in the future to complete the list.
"This mission is so strange. No one has accepted it since late winter. Let's take a look... Hey, why did the secret killing team fail to accept the order? Damn it... The high priest of the secret killing team died there.
?”
"Is it true? Let me see where you are... Hey, it's true."
"This mission is just an ordinary tribe according to the information. Even if the priests fight against the priests, there is no way they can defeat Duan Tianrong, the third-season high priest."
"Who knows for sure? Maybe Duan Tianrong was too arrogant and fell into a siege and was killed. The third-level priest is not invincible and will die if he falls into the trap prepared by the opponent."
"I heard someone said that he offended a high-ranking priest who was passing by. He didn't even get to the Fire Fist tribe, but he and his entire team were wiped out. He also killed another team that took orders."
"Who said it? If that's the case, I'll take the order."
"It seems that the Fire Fist Tribe has won two orders, and one has been destroyed... Oh, yes, you can go ask the Red Moon Team. They were implicated by the Secret Killing Team. Maybe they know something."
"..."
The high-hanging kill order is tempting.
In addition, this killing order also comes with a destroying order, which is very tempting.
Someone wanted to take the order, but was unsure of the difficulty, so he naturally followed the doorway and found the Red Moon Team.
Edwin, who was well prepared, pulled up a table in front of the station and clearly marked the price. The information fee was ten grams of divine ore.
For a team capable of killing the second-level priest, this cost is naturally not a problem.
In one morning, the Red Moon Team gained 200 grams of divine mineral, which made Edwin couldn't help but feel happy.
Since the failure to destroy the order in late winter, the Red Moon Team is still in arrears with a batch of materials for the failed mission.
Before repaying these materials, you will be deprived of the right to accept orders.
And these sacred mines now being collected are undoubtedly life-saving supplies, which are enough to enable the Red Moon Team to tide over the current difficulties.
"Dren, you did a good job, otherwise the Red Moon Team would have been disbanded in the spring!"
After receiving the last wave of guests, Edwin stepped forward and patted Delen on the shoulder excitedly.
"Yes, Captain, these are all things I should do."
Delen smiled and took out a small piece of sacred stone from his pocket, about eighty grams.
"They rewarded me with this for a cliché. I hope it can help the Red Moon Team."
Edwin became more and more surprised. He took the sacred stone and looked at it carefully. After confirming, the smile on his face became fuller, and several folds were squeezed together.
"Oh my god, Delen, you are so lucky. When we collect enough sacred stones, you will be promoted to priest first."
With that said, he put the sacred stone into his pocket, nodded with satisfaction and left.
However, Edwin didn't notice that the moment he turned around, a trace of disappointment flashed in Delen's eyes.
And as he put the sacred stone into his pocket, the disappointment evaporated, almost completely written on his face.
"As expected, it is already impossible to expect the Red Moon Team to make me a priest."
"Edwin is too greedy and afraid of death. He is not suitable to be the captain at all. Even if the Red Moon Team really saves three kilograms of divine minerals, he will never give me this opportunity. Instead, he will use these divine minerals.
Join the medium-sized squad as a stepping stone."
Once you have walked between life and death, you will be able to see many things clearly.
The relationship between the two is based on mutual use, and it is superfluous to add unnecessary favorability filters.
Delen remembered that when he first joined the Red Moon Team, he got the opportunity by paying tribute to the sacred stone.
In this case, why would he sacrifice his life for Edwin?
"The Stone God... so many people are coming to grab the mission at once, you must protect the Fire Fist Tribe to withstand it!"
...
Inside the shrine.
Soma raised his hand, brushed the back of the statue's head with his palm, and opened the specific information panel.
The panel jumped directly to the wish page and located Delen, who had used up a quota and was being continuously tracked.
[It has been detected that the wish of the tracking object ‘Delun’ has changed]
[New wish: The plan was successful and seventeen teams of snow bandits have been induced to set off. However, there are six third-level priests, twelve second-level priests, and forty-five first-level priests, more than five hundred.
The ordinary snow bandits, the Fire Fist tribe must resist them!]
"so much?"
Realizing that there were no Level 4 shots, Sumo couldn't help but smile.
When the outside world first obtained the idol, they were busy sorting out the technologies brought back from the asynchronous space every day, and did not have much time to study it.
Later, when the number of idols in his hand increased, he subconsciously thought that the idols were ordinary items with average abilities.
I never thought that this statue is really a treasure.
During these days in the tribe, Soma conducted a lot of tests and discovered another wonderful use of it.
convey information.
As long as the bound person has a thought, the thoughts in his mind can immediately be attributed to the statue through the induction in the dark.
Moreover, this method not only has no distance restrictions, but also has no other redundant restriction rules.
For example, ordinary believers also have wish limits. Once a wish is made, it cannot be changed within seven days.
But the bound person can make hundreds of wishes a day, enough to convey a lot of important information.
Of course, this approach also has drawbacks.
Even if you have reached a high-level idol, the limiter's binding still has a cooling time of up to thirty days.
This also means that Sumo only has two spots left in his hand, so be careful when binding.
"But this is just a prayer statue. Its main function should be fixed in one place to collect the wishes of believers within the range. The statue that can really convey information should be of the category of "preaching" and "preaching the law".
Expand the sphere of influence of the idol."
"In addition, judging from the upgrade route given by the system, the prayer statue should be the most basic existence among the statues. As long as it is continuously upgraded, many different types of statues can be derived. It is a pity that there is only one prayer statue available at the moment. Otherwise,
You can also give it a try to see if you have other special abilities."
"But if there are no other levels beyond the advanced level, there should be changes when enough recharging points are accumulated."
Soma took back his palm.
As the number of believers increased, the Megalithic Temple was expanded twice and can now accommodate eight people praying at the same time.
Even if these people's wishes were not deliberately fulfilled, with the healthy development of the Fire Fist tribe, the recharge value of the idols has been increased all the way to 9%.
A full 4% of this was provided by Delen alone.
Now, it’s finally harvest time.
Somo left the temple, and Thomas stood outside the door waiting anxiously.
"I have been warned by the Stone God. Currently, the snow bandits have been dispatched in large numbers. A total of seventeen teams are coming to our Fire Fist tribe. There are six third-level priests, twelve second-level priests, and forty-five first-level priests.
There are sixty-three priests in total, and more than five hundred ordinary snow bandits, which is five times the number of our Fire Fist tribe."
"High Priest, next is the critical moment for the survival of our Fire Fist tribe!"
Looking at Thomas, the latter trembled all over and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Don't worry, Patriarch. When the old Patriarch chose me, he told me... Thomas is the most loyal child of the Fire Fist Tribe. Even if he dies, he will die before the tribe is destroyed."
"I have been worshiped by the tribal people for many years and have been nurtured and loved by generations of clan leaders. How can I back down at such a critical moment?" Thomas said with red eyes.
Back then, he was just an ordinary resident of the Fire Fist tribe.
It was the current patriarch who chose him, and the old priest who exchanged favors in many places, that finally gave him the opportunity to perform the gift ritual.
Moreover, this promotion is still carried out in a tribe of ten thousand people with a fifth-level priest, the Snow Eagle tribe.
Suddenly reaching the sky in one step, Thomas was confused and had no idea what he was about to experience.
But he clearly remembered that the promotion of the Fire Fist tribe was ranked last, and almost no one paid attention to it.
People from the Snow Eagle tribe were at the forefront, and there were thousands of people watching the ceremony. Thirty-eight people were promoted to priests at the same time.
The difference in appearance and strength made Thomas set an unrealistic ambition for the old priest at that time.
He must devote his whole life to developing the Fire Fist Tribe to the grandeur of the Snow Eagle Tribe.
But the old priest just laughed and didn't respond.
Maybe he also understands that with the strength of the Fire Fist tribe, supporting a priest is already the limit.
If there are any more, it will attract the hostility of the surrounding tribes and they will be attacked in groups.
However, he would never have imagined that with the passage of time, the child who was lucky enough to be chosen back then would already be in the fourth level and only one step away from being a fifth-level priest.
At this time, how could Thomas give up his youthful ambition?
"The time has come to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. Rush over and there will be no obstacles in our next development path."
Sumo was also impatiently waiting, and his eyes turned red after he finished speaking.
It has been two and a half months since I entered the world of faith, and there are less than three hundred days left until the gambling battle ends.
No matter how many excuses he used to comfort himself, his heart would always tremble and he would be inexplicably nervous.
After all, gambling is a competition. There is no clear mission goal. It only depends on the strength of both parties.
If a foreign race has magical talent from the beginning, it will give them nearly a hundred days of extra training time.
And these hundred days can be converted into help in developing faith.
One step faster, each step faster.
If you really delay for three or four months on the first level, no matter how fast you go later, you will be constrained.
"Clan leader, please make arrangements. Thomas will risk his life to complete the mission."
"Okay, then I won't be polite. We really need to take the initiative next, and we can no longer be so passive and wait to be beaten."
Seeing that Thomas was acting like this, Somo immediately revealed all his plans.
The plan is actually not complicated.
After the beginning of spring, it is the time when the snow bandits need supplies most.
However, only one team can take on each task, so competition will inevitably arise.
For example, the Fire Fist tribe needs a god statue to destroy orders.
If the team that accepts the mission cannot get the idol, it will naturally be judged as a failure once the time has passed.
At this time, the team that gets the idol can accept the order, submit it, and get the corresponding reward.
Another example is the Fire Fist tribe's kill order, which requires Thomas's head.
It's possible that a team of snow bandits who didn't take the order arrived first and took off Thomas' head.
At this time, whether you are exchanging with the team that received the order, or waiting for failure before submitting again, you can get a lot of rewards.
Of course, the team that takes the order still has some advantages.
The most important of these is information.
Each order will be accompanied by a detailed intelligence content free of charge, recording the information of the mission point.
But is it necessary to deal with the Fire Fist tribe?
The answer is yes.
It's just a second-level small tribe, and most teams don't even pay attention to it.
The reason why they took the Fire Fist Tribe as their first stop was because they thought they could complete it the best. If they couldn't finish it, they would repair near the Fire Fist Tribe for a while.
Spring is definitely not a stable season.
As long as there is a fight between tribes, they will find an opportunity to sneak in and plunder the supplies.
And this item is the main source of the snow bandits’ material accumulation.
Sumo saw this clearly and decided to take the initiative and defeat the incoming snow bandit teams one by one.
Otherwise, if so many priests and ordinary snow bandits enter the enchantment formation, they can break out of the formation in minutes by stepping on it.
By then, even if Thomas is a fifth-level priest, it will be difficult to defend the Fire Fist tribe.
...
The plan was approved, and the Fire Fist tribe began to integrate and operate.
Including a group of slaves, they were also ordered to perform various tasks and participated in war preparations.
The first step is to set up outposts within a fifty-kilometer radius around the Fire Fist tribe.
This one is the simplest.
The snow bandit who was taken away by Huang Xiang Yu was not really killed, he could only fool Delen and scare him.
Now facing the invading snow bandits, it is not easy to ask these people who are also snow bandits to serve as sentries.
"Take the poison. If there is no antidote within three days, you will just wait to die." Huang Xiangyu smiled grimly and unlocked the shackles on the fourteen snow bandits.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the priests of our Fire Fist tribe have been promoted to the fourth level. This wave is just to use you snow bandits to earn a wave of reputation and supplies. If you are smart, you should know how to choose, right?"
All the snow bandits nodded hurriedly.
If they hadn't seen Thomas kill the high priest with one punch, they might have waited for an opportunity to escape.
But the impact of that scene was so powerful that even after half a month, it is still vivid in my mind.
"Sir Huang, I wonder if we can become residents of the Fire Fist Tribe after we have done meritorious deeds?"
A slave was tempted and asked urgently.
"Of course, if those who have made contributions want to leave, let alone stay, we will send you away in good graces."
The words fell.
All fourteen slaves surrendered and became part of the Fire Fist tribe.
On the other side, residents need to bring their tools and set off to the designated location to build the enchantment array.
Groups of ten people are divided into ten groups in total.
The range of influence of this enchantment array will not be large and will only be controlled within a range of 500 meters.
This is to relieve the pressure Thomas encounters during the battle and also to leave a way to escape.
Once something goes wrong, the manpower will be broken into pieces and flee into the corresponding enchantment formation. As long as the pursuer is not a priest, he will be controlled for at least half a day.
At this time, residents can escape calmly.
For the rest, Somo didn't make much arrangements, and he didn't expect ordinary residents without training to be able to form combat effectiveness.
Because this time he also decided to go to the battlefield.
It may be difficult to deal with those second- and third-level priests, but it is not difficult to deal with the lone first-level priests.
"Seventeen teams should be able to collect the sacred mines needed for the ritual, right?"
Somo thought to himself.
Until two days later.
A team called Wolf Slayers rushed to the vicinity of the tribe, but Thomas waited for work and killed all of them.
The contribution of one level two priest alone reached an astonishing 1460g.
One and a half kilograms?
Carrying a bag of magic minerals, Sumo looked a little dazed. Are all snow bandits so rich?
Taking into account the previous accumulation, the two kilograms now are enough to impact a wave of rituals.
If we continue to follow this efficiency, after this wave of killings, won't the Fire Fist tribe be able to produce three to five new priests?
Soon, another day passed.
There are more and more snow bandit teams rushing to the vicinity of the Fire Fist Tribe. As Thomas repeatedly makes great achievements, the magic mine in Sumo's hand also begins to increase rapidly.
Two kilograms, four kilograms, seven kilograms!
Starting from the snow bandit team, in just three days, the accumulation of divine minerals was enough to meet the needs of the two priests.
But it wasn't over yet. After eliminating the first team with a third-level priest, the accumulation of the divine mine suddenly increased by a full six kilograms.
What is this concept?
Somo even had the urge to abandon his territory immediately and ask Thomas to lead his people and run away.
With so much savings, wouldn't it be possible to rebuild the tribe in another place and take off in minutes?
