Chapter 331 Exemplary Quest Completed, Job Level Advancement

The beastmen of the Horned Tribe, living a nomadic lifestyle, chased after water and grass in the northern tundra. After a hundred years of recuperation, they multiplied into a tribe with a population of nearly a thousand. Starting from their grandparents' parents' generation, they raised cattle and sheep. However, this once-great herd suffered heavy casualties after a red egg fell from the sky last night.

The tribe's descendants relied on and relied on their strong warriors, who died one after another, their swords broken and their bodies fell. The shamans' magic power was greatly reduced, and their souls were devoured by evil spirits.

Just before dawn, the morning star tore through the night and descended upon the sacred mountain, destroying the nest of the disaster. The survivors gathered their panicked herds and witnessed the morning star resting on the mountaintop. They then gathered together to discuss the matter and elected two brave warriors to carry offerings and climb the mountain to safety.

The young orc men and women set off, draped in felt, their faces painted with totem paint, carrying buffalo bone staffs bound with colorful ribbons, leading three pairs of the most beautiful lambs, and on the backs of the cows were placed bright and beautiful fox and leopard pelts, two loads of cheese, milk curd, sausage, dried meat and grain, six leather bags of wine, a box of gold nuggets and a variety of unpolished gems.

And so they climbed the gentle mountainside, making their way up the cliff edge, carefully watching for falling rocks and sudden collapses in the mountain path. Two of the six lambs, in their panic, lost their footing and fell off the cliff, bleating pitifully as they rolled down the slope, tumbling and breaking apart, until they disappeared without a trace.

On such a mountain, there is not a single tree, not even a blade of grass or a speck of moss; it is completely bare, yet it has soil, many hollows left by plant roots, nests dug by ants and mice, and footprints left by deer and leopards.

Some great force left all life behind, taking only the rocks and soil with it.

It took the orc warriors nearly four hours to successfully reach the summit with their offerings. After climbing a craggy rock, they unexpectedly saw a giant sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, his silhouette illuminated by the scorching sun, hotter than the summer heat.

The man and woman stared at each other, then quickly placed their hands and calves on the ground. The man shouted, "Great God, the Jiaotu tribe has brought you offerings. Please enjoy them! Protect us from this disaster! Our grace is our life. From now on, generation after generation, we will devoutly worship you!"

Upon hearing this, the mage sitting on the edge of the cliff moved, startling the orc men and women, who cowered like rabbits, forcibly suppressing their survival instinct to flee.

They all understood the other meaning behind being chosen as a warrior: it meant being offered as a human sacrifice to the gods. Sending the sacrifice, carrying the offerings to the altar, was undoubtedly a great cruelty, and only the warriors of the tribe could accept such an end.

The man stood up, turned and walked toward them, revealing a human male face, wearing a gray cloak, like a distant cloud, with light steps.

In the blink of an eye, he was there, grasping the arms of the young man and woman who had been cut by rocks while climbing. His hands, trembling with fear, gently brushed over the wounds, and a cool breeze flowed through them, healing the skin and flesh.

“I am neither hungry nor thirsty. I am grateful for your visit. Please be careful on your way back. I am currently busy, so you may leave now.” The monk placed his dry hands on the shoulders of the two young men and gave them a gentle squeeze as encouragement. They straightened their backs and, with blank expressions, led their cattle and sheep down the mountain, as if a breath of courage had been blown into their souls.

Seeing the warriors return with offerings, the tribal survivors assumed the gods had rejected their worship and protection, and many burst into wailing cries. The elders, their faces ashen, whispered amongst themselves about their future.

The two disheartened warriors said there was no need; they would climb again, this afternoon or tomorrow. In any case, once they recovered from the shock and fear of their safe return after meeting the gods, they would set off on their pilgrimage once more.

At the mountaintop, Lin Bo checked the player information on the world channel. The crisis they were facing had all been resolved, and there were no unlucky players who lost their territory and were forced out of the game due to the first wave of chaos invasion.

The Chaos Eggs near the Fungal Forest have been firmly suppressed by the Greenskins and their two companions, preventing them from causing any trouble. The situation remains favorable, and the Greenskins' reinforcement rate has even surpassed the enemy forces deployed by Chaos.

He put his mind at ease for the time being and spent the morning fine-tuning the structure of the Yuan Magnetic Holy Embryo. He had already met the proficiency requirements for upgrading, and now he only lacked the hard requirement of comprehending the incomplete scroll.

He took out two tattered scrolls he had prepared beforehand from his backpack: "The Song of Celestial Severance" for studying the Fierce Control Technique, and "The Gear Spirit Diagram" for improving his Light-Seeing Telemetry Technique.

Lin Bo basked in the warm sunlight. The radiant magic energy of this world was more suitable for conversion into ocean magic energy than ordinary light, electricity, and heat. He estimated that he would be fully recovered after another hour of sunbathing.

At the cost of 8000 disaster coins, the ancient papyrus score of "The Song of Celestial Severance" unfolded before him, and notes composed of individual stars jumped out in an orderly fashion, disappearing into his brow.

[Important reminder from the website: You have opened a fragment of knowledge and learned the words of unblocking]

—Even stars eventually perish, and as the age of stars recedes, we listen as the ancient song of origin resounds once more. Eternal light shines, time stands still, and destiny continues to flow as new life enters the universe.

[The skill [True Word Control - Fierce] has encountered a critical bottleneck; the Knowledge Fragment will provide the answer.]

[Important Notice from the Website: "The Song of Celestial Severance" is currently poring over the words, searching for those things you ignited, and bidding a heartfelt farewell to their ashes...]

[Temporary features have been added. Please find out the true nature of these features before resealing the knowledge fragments.]

By now, Lin Bo has a solid foundation in the art of manipulating words, and he knows the essentials and advancement paths of these five professional skills in great detail.

The monk picked up a pebble from the mountaintop, and his eyes could observe the faint ripples that emanated from it.

Everything that exists possesses energy, and energy is a kind of unstable vibration. The Fierce Control Technique can intensify the vibration and increase the temperature. Once it exceeds the bearing limit of the object's mechanical structure, this internal energy will break free of its constraints and explode outwards.

The "Shock Extreme" characteristic of Lv3 Fierce Defense Technique is to use Solid Defense Technique to lower the upper limit of the load-bearing capacity of things below normal temperature, which will naturally cause them to crack.

To further enhance the "Zhenji" characteristic, the Life Control Technique must be employed to promote it.

Lin Bo silently recited the stone's real name.

The harmonious, orderly ripples on the surface of the pebble were suddenly fragmented into thousands or hundreds of parts, like a lake that was once only rippled by a waterfall, but now becomes a torrential downpour, making the entire surface chaotic. Every microscopic structure was being destroyed; the explosion had no originating core, but occurred simultaneously from various points.

So the pebble disappeared the moment Lin Bo threw it. It first turned into fine sand, then the fine sand continued to shatter into dust, then the dust continued to dissipate into blue smoke, and then the blue smoke continued to vanish into pure light, heat and sound.

The stone at room temperature eventually transformed into a brilliant flash of lightning, a fleeting rainbow that startled the clouds and the herds at the foot of the mountain, and it disappeared from the world forever.

[Skill [True Word Control - Fierce] Level Limit Break: When training Arcane (True) related skills, base proficiency permanently increases by 1]

The "Rainbow Transformation" trait is locked; upgrade your skill to unlock it.

The Art of Fierce Control is a technique about ascension, transformation, and destruction. The "Tremor-Rainbow Transformation" characteristic represents a pure and ruthless death, leaving nothing but a glorious and violent aftershock.

Lin Bo lowered his eyes slightly, adapting to the slight disorientation brought on by the locked trait. He then spent 6000 Calamity Coins to activate the "Gear Spirit Diagram." The dense gear structure, resembling a compass, rotated tightly, and two inlaid crystal gems emitted a golden-blue light that shone directly into his pupils.

[No one knows the name of the supreme power in the realm of mechanics, but this nameless and lost being truly possesses divine power. Craftsmen, let us invoke His existence, for when the gears begin to turn, the path to the supreme mysteries of craftsmanship will be opened.]

[Important Notice from the Network: The Gear Spirit Diagram is currently adjusting your eye prosthetic. It is completely amazed and highly praises your skill, exclaiming, "Wonderful, wonderful!"]

When purchasing the "Peeping Light Remote Measurement" skill book, Lin Bo carefully read the Lv4 trait "Radiance Instrument" in the product description. Its effect is a comprehensive upgrade to the skill, bringing significant progress in the accuracy of sensing magnetic fields and the accuracy of observing electromagnetic waves. At the same time, it allows the prosthetic eye to achieve deep coordination with the operator, just like the naked eye.

The Yuan Magnetic Holy Embryo was originally an enchanted structure rooted in the spirits and gods. However, when the residual power of the scroll surged into his eye socket, Lin Bo had a slight sense of overlap. His naked eye and the Holy Embryo intertwined and became indistinguishable. The optical and magnetic field signals collected in his field of vision became more natural and smooth.

At this moment, the Holy Embryo truly becomes the bridge between the physical body and the spirit.

The biological brain and the magical computer reached a perfect balance, and thoughts flowed smoothly between the two consciousness carriers like fish. Lin Bo no longer felt like a light ray residing in a physical body; at this moment, his mental structure depended on both body and soul.

He let out a sigh, closed his eyes to meditate, and the raging flames of incantation engulfed his vision, igniting the runes of his name and the mage's mind and body.

Sitting cross-legged at the end of the mountain peak, like a resting star, it emitted brilliant Dao fire that illuminated the entire universe.
