Chapter 281 Treasure Scarecrow

  【You left Cell 2506. 】

  【You come to the octopus statue opposite Cell 2507 and inspect the structure of the statue. 】

  【You found that there are sixteen engraved magic circuits on the back of the octopus statue, and it is this circuit that controls the work of the octopus statue. If some damage is done to the circuit here, it is possible to interfere with the statue's alarm device. 】

  【However, among the sixteen circuits, only one is the circuit that controls the alarm. If you destroy the other circuits before destroying the alarm, the alarm will be triggered. your choice…】

   Mu You tried to study the octopus statue, and as a result, as many as seventeen options popped up: [Destroy the first circuit] all the way to [Destroy the sixteenth circuit], plus one [Give up destruction].

  This option is actually no different from his lockpicking.

   Mu You grasped the pocket watch, and directly chose the first one.

  【You released the Annihilation Curse, destroying the first circuit. 】

  【The siren sounds...】

   "Backtracking."

  【…You destroyed the second circuit…】

  …

   After a few simple attempts, when reaching the seventh circuit, the due prompt finally popped up.

  【You destroyed the seventh circuit, the alarm did not sound, and the alarm system of the statue was destroyed by you. 】

   It was much easier to deal with the absence of the alarm, and then Mu You looked for the circuit of the lightning strike again, and quickly confirmed that it was the ninth one.

   After destroying the two circuits, Mu You entered Cell 2507 and tried to unlock and escape.

   Sure enough, even if he swaggered out of the prison door this time, the statue didn't respond.

  【You dialed the sentence number on the cell door of No. 2507, changing it from 0 to: 1. 】

Mu You tried to change the sentence of the prison again. This thing can indeed be changed, but the number of the sentence can only be adjusted from small to large, and cannot be adjusted back. In other words, if the sentence wants to be reduced, it can only be reduced day by day. , There is no possibility of opportunism and commutation... unless the cell is changed.

  【You entered Cell No. 2507 and pressed the 'Meal Delivery' button in the cell. 】

  【A moment later, an octopus wearing a chef's hat passed by your cell and threw a 'prison meal' into your cell. 】

  【At the same time, the 'Delivery' button in front of you automatically turns gray and will resume tomorrow morning. 】

  Fully automatic food delivery service, you can also choose your own meal time, which can be said to be very considerate!

   After accepting the prison meal, Mu You turned around and entered the next cell.

  【...The octopus wearing a chef's hat passed by your cell and threw a 'prison meal' into your cell. 】

  …

   Just like this, after harvesting ten prison meals in a row, Mu You stopped.

  The main reason is that this prison food can only be stored for one hour, and it is not good to harvest too much at one time, so wait until it is used up.

  【Eat the next prison meal, your mobility has recovered a bit. You continue to wander around the second floor of the prison incognito...]

   After the mobility is guaranteed, Mu You can explore the map to his heart's content.

   Next, he followed the map's guidance, while avoiding the octopus soldiers, while exploring in the prison.

  In the map of the second-floor prison, in addition to nearly a thousand cells and prison guards' residences, there are two special places that Mu You is more interested in.

  One is 'Scarecrow'.

  One is 'Sea Helm Cave'.

  The scarecrow here is of course not the kind of scarecrow he encountered before that could answer questions, but a 'training' scarecrow.

   The specific function is not written on the map, but since it can be marked by a special beaver, it must be useful.

  The other sea helmet cave is a cave dug out of deep-sea granite by a deep-sea pangolin called 'sea helmet'.

The deep-sea granite that makes up the submarine prison is extremely solid, and it also has an excellent feature: when in the deep sea, this kind of granite can naturally shield various magical effects, such as wall penetration, ground entry, and annihilation, etc. Destroy spells.

  This is also the reason why this prison must be built in the deep sea. The exorcism effect of this kind of granite will only take effect in the deep sea.

  The only thing that can effectively damage deep-sea granite is this creature called 'deep-sea pangolin'.

   This creature can burrow and build nests in deep-sea granite. In the history of the establishment of the submarine prison, this creature had a period of activity, which led to the excavation of many caves extending in all directions in the rock wall of the submarine prison.

  Of course, after the Octopus King stabilized the situation on Nax Island, most of these caves were filled by his octopus soldiers.

  The cave identified in the **** map is one of them.

  Follow the route drawn on the map, through this cave, you can bypass the entrance to the lower floor and go straight to the third floor of the prison!

  Mu You went to the Scarecrow first.

  The scarecrow is located in the northwest corner of the prison, not far from the residence of the octopus guards. The closer you go, the more times you encounter octopus patrols along the way.

   Mu You moved forward carefully all the way in stealth, and it took more than an hour to finally find the place.

  【You found the 'training scarecrow' on the second floor of the prison. 】

  【It was a bundle of scarecrows tied to a wooden cross, composed of thin bamboo branches and dry straw, wearing shabby clothes and yellowed straw hats. 】

  【You see a group of octopus soldiers in front of you surrounded the scarecrow, all waving their tentacles, and lashing at the scarecrow non-stop. 】

  【You noticed that during the whipping of the octopus, hay kept falling from the scarecrow's body, but the scarecrow can quickly regain its fullness, and the torn clothes on its body can also quickly recover as before. 】

  【You hid in the distance, watched the scarecrow being whipped for nearly ten minutes, the octopuses seemed to have accomplished some kind of goal, left the scarecrow and left...】

  After all the nearby octopuses had left, Mu You manipulated the character to check.

  【You go forward and see the scarecrow who was beaten to pieces by a group of octopuses just now. Now it has recovered completely again. The eyes made of buttons and the mouth sewn in cloth make a smiling expression, as if to welcome you. 】

  【Training Scarecrow (Elementary): A special prop with 10,000 points of durability and super recovery ability. It is non-flammable and can be used to test various attacks and magic.

  For units above level 10, every time they attack the scarecrow 10 times, they will get 1 experience point. The daily upper limit per person: 1000 experience points.

   Every time the scarecrow is attacked 1000 times, the physical attack power will be increased by 1 point permanently. Obtain upper limit: 50 points. 】

   "Permanently increase attack power?"

   Mu You was startled, the effect of this scarecrow is simply blinding his eyes, it can actually increase the attack power permanently!

  Attack power is purely physical damage. The higher the attack power, the higher the damage for each punch, arrow or knife.

   This thing is directly linked to the strength value, and there is generally no way to increase it except as the strength increases, but now there is a means to increase the attack power alone, and the upper limit of the increase is as high as 50 points!

Mu You's current attack power is around 20 or 30 points, even under the highest bonus of the vampire skin, it is only about 50 points, and if the attack bonus of this scarecrow can be fully obtained, it is equivalent to directly turning over the attack power. More than doubled!

  Mu You finally understood why the attack power of those octopus soldiers is so outrageous. These octopus soldiers are guarding the scarecrow artifact. Even if they don't train every day, they come a few times occasionally, they must have fully used the attack bonus here.

   Not to mention, farming scarecrows can also gain experience, 1000 points per day, which is much more efficient than fighting monsters with a group of players in wild monsters.

  Mu You immediately manipulated the character to step forward and try it out.

  【You waved the vampire's claw and launched an attack on the scarecrow...】

  【You have attacked the scarecrow ten times, experience value +1...】

  【You have attacked the scarecrow ten times, experience value +1...】

  …

   Mu You watched the stopwatch and counted. He can hit three claws per second on average, and it takes a little more than three seconds to hit ten times.

  In addition, if you keep brushing the Scarecrow, he will lose a little movement power every minute. Of course, there is prison food to eat now, and mobility can be obtained continuously, this is not a problem.

  Based on this efficiency calculation, he can gain 18 experience points per minute, and it will take 55 minutes to get 1000 experience points, plus the time spent on the "cracking prison meal" halfway, the whole process will take nearly an hour and a half!

  1000 experience in one and a half hours, this efficiency is not bad compared to the Ratmen he spent on the rotten grassland a few days ago.

   It's a pity that the daily limit is only 1000, otherwise Muyou is guaranteed to be here 24 hours a day, maxing it out!

   Taking advantage of the fact that no one is coming, Mu You immediately appeared to brush the scarecrows.

  Meeting octopus soldiers passing by halfway, he entered deep stealth and squatted aside for a while, and reappeared after the octopuses left.

  After his physical strength was exhausted, he went to a nearby cell to harvest a batch of prison food, and came back to continue brushing.

   After working like this for an hour and a half, Mu You finally got all 1000 experience, and his attack power also increased by 10 points.

  Of course, he can stay and continue to increase his attack power, but according to today's efficiency, it only takes five days to get full attack power, so there is no need to rush.

  At this time, the text also indicated that there were octopus soldiers approaching nearby, so he simply left the place and rushed towards the 'Haihelm Cave' indicated on the map.

  【You follow the guidance of the map and come to a remote corner on the northwest side of the second floor. 】

  【At the top of this moss-covered stone wall, you lifted the broad-leaved grass on the surface, and found a half-meter-wide hidden cave in it. 】

   Fortunately, it seems that the sea helmet cave here has not been discovered by the octopus soldiers.

  Mu You immediately manipulated the characters into it.

  The cave is very narrow, and just after entering more than ten meters, it prompts that it is stuck and cannot move. Mu You had to switch the skin of the fortune teller, so he could barely pass.

  【…After passing through a dark cave, you see a glimmer of light ahead. 】

  【You climbed towards the light, and after a while, you finally crawled out of the exit of this cave. 】

  【You have come to the third floor of the submarine prison! 】

   Arrived at the third floor smoothly, but Mu You didn't have time to be happy, and was startled by the pop-up prompt immediately after.

  【After entering the third-floor space, you suddenly notice the poisonous gas surging around you, and the dark green poisonous mist pervades the entire third floor. Only in a prison can you avoid the poisonous mist. 】

[This is the poisonous gas discharged by the octopus king's kidneys. It is a highly corrosive toxin. When you are in the poisonous fog, your health will continue to drop at a rate of five points per second, and it will become faster and faster under the accumulation of toxins. , every fifteen seconds, the poison effect on your body will increase by one layer. You'd better hide in a cell as soon as possible...]

The defense system of the third floor seems to be upgraded compared with the first two floors. In addition to the original facilities, a poison gas defense system has been added. The poison gas covers the entire third floor, but the cells can isolate the poison gas, so the cells have become the safest place. If these prisoners want to escape from prison, they have to weigh their physique first, and they can last a few seconds in the poisonous gas.

   Seeing that the toxin layers on his body were getting higher and higher, Mu You hurriedly switched to vampire skin.

  【You switched the vampire skin, under the poisonous gas erosion, the 'survival of the fittest' talent came into play, your body began to rapidly evolve to adapt to the toxin, and your health decreased at a slower rate...]

   Fortunately, Mu You just integrated the talent of survival of the fittest two days ago.

  Poisonous gas is of course also a kind of harsh environment, but this talent is not to help him directly isolate the poisonous gas, but to help him adapt to the poisonous gas.

   A few minutes later, the number of layers of poisonous gas on Mu You's body had already stacked up to a terrifying number, but his health declined more and more slowly.

  Ten minutes later, his blood volume finally stopped dropping completely, and at this time, his life value was only the last point left, which seemed to be in danger, but in fact it was stronger than unlocking the blood hanger.

   Relying on this little blood, Mu You continued to explore on the third floor.

  The octopuses on these three layers have also undergone some changes, from ordinary octopuses to poisonous octopuses, which are completely immune to the toxins of this layer, and their levels have generally been raised to thirteen or four.

   Fortunately, for deep invisibility, they still have nothing to do.

   Following the guidance of the map on the third floor, Mu You soon found another sea helmet cave.

  According to the marking on the map, this cave can lead to the fourth floor.

  The environment on the third floor is too harsh, and Mu You doesn't plan to stay here for a long time.

  【You have come to the 'Haihelm Cave' marked on the map. 】

  【However, when you lifted the broad-leaved grass covering the wall, you discovered that this cave has been artificially sealed. 】

  Unfortunately, the first cave was blocked!

   Mu You didn't care, and turned to look for the second one. On the map of the third floor of the prison, there are three cave entrances leading to the fourth floor.

   But what left Mu You speechless was that when he found the remaining two, he found that these two were also blocked!

   That is to say, the currently known entrances from the third floor down are all blocked!

   "How about this?"

   Mu You couldn't help frowning.

The third floor is for prisoners with a sentence of one to ten years, and the fourth floor is for prisoners with a sentence of more than ten years and less than five hundred years. Needless to say, the fifth floor is the bottom of the submarine prison. prisoners in permanent imprisonment.

  The son of Dragon Knight Finn was imprisoned on the fourth floor.

   Now I can’t get to the fourth floor by trickery. Should I leave the prison first, then go outside to commit a crime, and be directly arrested on the fourth floor?

The problem is, the crimes that can be caught on the fourth floor of the prison are not small crimes, just like Finn's son, who directly burned the casino of the Octopus King to death. The octopus king swallowed it alive, that is, the dragon riding pirate group, the octopus king gave face, and instead of being sentenced directly, he was sent to prison for a hundred years.

   Shaking his head, Mu You found the jack-o-lantern and continued to search on the third floor.

  The sea helmet caves on the map are all sealed, and now he can only find those caves that no one has found.

  Since the submarine prison was riddled with holes dug by pangolins, no matter how the octopuses block it, there will always be some holes that slip through the net on each floor.

   And the jack-o-lantern did not disappoint him.

   After searching against the prison wall for half an hour, a prompt popped up.

  【Under the blue glow of the pumpkin lantern, you can see some hidden characters on the rock wall in front of you. 】

[You held up a jack-o-lantern and went up to check, and found that it was a language different from Protoss. You didn’t recognize these characters, but you felt familiar: You had seen many similar characters in the forest of elves. character. 】

  【These seem to be the words of the forest elves. 】

   Didn't find the cave, but found a wall engraved with words, but the words seemed to be written in Elven language, which he couldn't understand.

   Mu You tried to click on the text of the 'character', but still no translation popped up. It seems that the game will not be kind enough to help him translate Elvish.

   After thinking for a while, Mu You sent the photo crystal into the game, asked the game character to hold the photo crystal to take a picture around the vicinity, and then took the crystal out of the game.

   Mu You entered the magic power into the crystal and looked at it. Sure enough, the characters reflected by the jack-o-lantern on the opposite side had been recorded in the crystal at this moment.

   Mu You held up his mobile phone to take pictures of these pictures, then contacted Xiaoya and sent them to her.

  As the priest of the forest elves, Xiaoya has learned the language of the forest elves from the training hall before, so she should be able to translate it.

  Xiaoya was woken up by Mu You in the middle of the night, and didn't complain. After watching the video several times, she quickly translated it sentence by sentence and sent it to Mu You.

   Mu You clicked on the message to view it.

"Letter reader: Since you can recognize the characters in Elvish language, there is a high probability that you are from the Elven tribe, or a friend of the Elven tribe. In fact, I am not sure, but I can only take a gamble. If you are Zuba If you are a person with Ci, count me as unlucky, because my lifespan is about to run out, and by the time you read this passage, there is a high probability that I will already be dead.

But please be sure to look at the face of the elves, and follow the instructions below: Go to cell 3755, on the top of the stone wall opposite the cell, tap the Red stones there.

   Be careful not to be discovered by octopus soldiers!

  Also, if you are in a situation where the above cannot be done, please pass this information back to any elf clansman, thank you very much!

  The elder of the forest elves, Harrington Xiu, stayed. "
