The Sky Whale lowered the Silver Spirit, and the two ships sailed slowly through the muddy sea.
From time to time, mud fish and jumping fish jumped out of the mud, trying to attack the Silver Spirit and the Blue Whale.
Occasionally, some strange insects would emerge from the mud.
There are the swamp fishing spiders that use water and mud to make spider silk in the swamps, the venomous spiders that spray poisonous mucus from their tails, and the six-spotted green tiger beetles that can move freely and swiftly in the swamps.
These creatures can almost all be found in the Yasa world. They are neutral and low-level troops with extremely large numbers but relatively low combat effectiveness.
With the combat effectiveness of the Sky Whale and the Silver Spirit, these inferior creatures have no effect on them.
Especially the Tianjing.
It is like an indestructible bulldozer. It kills wherever it goes, leaving countless corpses along the way.
Sylvia ran to the Silver Spirit and asked Qi Ge curiously:
“Qi Ge, are we really in the Chaos Sea now?
Why do I feel like this place isn't dangerous at all?
It feels almost the same as being in the Asian Sands world."
Qi Ge shook his head solemnly and replied:
“The Realm of Chaos is full of dangers. The dangers visible to the naked eye are not to be feared. What is to be feared is the dangers that you are completely unaware of.
In the books I have read, the Tamer's Mud is often described as "mysterious and mysterious".
Heroes who enter the Tamer's Mud are often pulled into a fantasy world by mysterious means.
If the hero dies in the fantasy world, the hero in reality will also die.
We are in a fantasy world and cannot bring any soldiers with us. We can only rely on ourselves.
Putting aside the danger of the hero, if the fleet comes under a large-scale attack while the hero is under control, it may be destroyed.
Now our two fleets combined have a total of four heroes.
You, me, Elena, Nimbas.
Elena is good at medicine, and you are good at navigation, both of you are very dangerous in the illusion."
"Humph!" Sylvia raised his head proudly and said:
“I’m not afraid.
I am a qualified pirate. Even if I don't have a warship, my own strength is not weak."
Qi Ge tapped his temple and said softly:
“In the illusion, force has little impact, and wisdom is more important.
It requires a good grasp of people’s hearts and a strong ability to inspire people with your speeches.”
Sylvia blinked, and her expression suddenly became embarrassed.
"That's it. Qi Ge, help me."
"You are quite self-aware."
Qi Ge sighed and said:
“Elena and Nimbas will be here soon, we will have a meeting later.
In case both of us enter the illusion, someone will be needed to command the fleet.
In addition to them, Ginga, Xiaodao and Gin should also be called along.
Although the possibility of all four heroes being controlled by the illusion is very small, if it happens, our fleet will be leaderless.
We have to be on guard.”
…
…
"The fairies are waving their hands, the snow is beating the frost..."
In a crystal mine cave in the Everfrost Glacier, a group of fairies were sitting cross-legged on the ground, humming a ballad in unison under the command of a fairy leader.
Different from their muddle-headed attitude in the past, now the goblins in these mines, although still dressed in rags, have light in their eyes.
When the magnificent and melodious fairy overture was finished, the fairy leader clapped his hands in satisfaction and said:
"Very good, let's eat!"
"Long live Utopia!"
The goblins shouted in unison, flocked to the goblin leader, and formed an orderly queue.
Every fairy was lined up in an orderly manner, everyone had a relaxed look on their face, and no one was worried about whether they would get a share.
The goblin pioneer set up the table and placed baked mashed potatoes and fragrant bread on it.
The goblins divided into six groups, took the treats and left, and soon everyone had one.
The goblin leader saw the goblins sitting back to back, enthusiastically enjoying today's food while discussing trivial matters in life.
He smiled with relief, took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes.
This goblin leader was one of the goblins who retreated to the Waterwheel with Petra.
Whenever he saw this scene, he would remember the time when he fled with Petra.
At that time, there was also a fairy named Fres who was responsible for managing and distributing food.
He died the day before arriving at the Goblin Waterwheel, starving to death.
Of all the goblins, he knew better than Petra how scarce the team's food was.
So he saved his own food and gave it to other goblins.
As a goblin who manages food, he could have eaten his fill every day.
But precisely because he knew how scarce food was, he was more reluctant to eat it than any other goblin.
"No more."
The fairy leader clenched his fist and said:
"Under the leadership of Master Qi Ge, such things will never happen again."
Similar mines are scattered all over the vast Everfrost Icefield.
With the cooperation of Ke Ruoke, Wolfs, and Mixue Bingtang, there will be one or two fairy pioneers who are not afraid of sacrifice in each mine.
They mixed in with the goblins and became their spiritual pillars and logistical support.
Similarly, the goblin organizations led by the goblin pioneers are not only spread throughout the mines, but also penetrate into various wild goblin villages, countless goblin villages outside the city, and many goblin factories...
Even in many main cities, there are goblin pioneers operating in secret.
If you look down from above, the entire area of ​​Bracada with fairy vanguards is marked in red.
Then, the entire Bracada will become a red ocean connected by countless red dots.
This ocean is still expanding at a terrifying rate.
…
…
In the God's Chosen City, a fairy tiptoed into Ke Ruoke's tent.
He covered Ke Ruoke with a heavy blanket.
Ke Ruoke, who was correcting documents, woke up from her concentration.
He tightened his white robe and asked softly:
"What time is it now?"
"Uncle Ke Ruoke, it's almost dawn, you should take a rest."
Ke Ruoke shook her head and said:
“Can’t rest yet.
There are still some unfinished business at the Goblin Tavern ."
But Ruoke pushed the file aside and said:
“Lord Qi Ge said that leading the fairies to rise is a huge and complex project, and every comrade is very important.
Especially the leadership.
A pure leadership team that has demons in their hearts and is willing to sacrifice themselves for the demons is crucial.
We must make great efforts to cultivate every comrade with potential.
It's almost dawn anyway, Clarence, so you shouldn't go to sleep.
This is the document I have corrected. Please take a look and learn from it.”
Clarence had a headache.
He could never have imagined that he came here on behalf of the fairies to persuade Ke Ruoke to rest, but now, he would not be able to sleep either.
He said hurriedly:
"Uncle Ke Ruoke, I get a headache when I see these complicated things."
Ke Ruoke's face turned serious, and he patted Clarence on the head with the document:
"Confused. How hard can it be?
You can learn magic, but you can’t learn decision-making?
It depends on whether you are willing to learn.
Clarence, no matter how well you learn magic, the lord will not dare to give you the task of leading the goblins.
If you want to lead the goblins, the key is to improve your ability to process information.
When the information comes into your hands, you need to judge and process it, issue a solution, and take the final responsibility.
This is what the leadership should learn.
For example.
A level 3 Redstone mine was discovered in the Goblin Mine expansion.
This is information.
The purpose is to give the wizard a report in exchange for better living conditions for the goblins, and at the same time allow more compatriots to enter the mines.
It is better to keep it secret and mine it before transporting it to the God's Chosen City.
Or maybe you can just play it safe and pretend you didn't see it.
This is decision-making and also the processing of information.
For example, the goblin merchants reported that the prices of iron, wood, and ore in Krulod were all rising.
This is information.
Krulod itself is rich in ore, and even the price of ore is rising, which means that Krulod is very likely to be expanding its armaments.
The expansion of armaments means that war is about to break out.
This is the analysis.
I asked the goblin merchant team to transport large quantities of wood and ore and sell them at normal market prices. At the same time, they also inquired about the whereabouts of the ore, which further helped us determine the location of the war and the warring parties.
This is decision making.
Why is it that in Bracada the wizards can give orders, but we fairies can only work?
Is this just because mages are stronger than us fairies? Is this just because mages restrict us?
No, it's not.
Because all the information is monopolized by the wizards and can never reach our goblins' hands.
We fairies cannot develop the ability to process and analyze information at all, and there is no room for advancement.
If you want to train a sharpshooter who never misses a shot, you need to feed him with plenty of arrows.
This kind of decision-making ability can only be acquired through constant training.
Of course, there are very few exceptions who are gifted geniuses, such as our Lord of the Seven Pigeons. "
Ke Ruoke looked at Clarence with a look of dismay and said:
“Many races and heroes hope to obtain more information and have the opportunity to practice processing information.
I am feeding you now, but you still don’t know how to cherish it.”
Clarence scratched his head and said, "Uncle Ke Ruoke, I don't have that ability. I just want to be your guard."
"madness."
Ke Ruoke snorted and said sternly:
"I think you've been living a good life for too long and have forgotten what kind of life we ​​fairies lived in the past.
Lord Qi Ge told me that this Bracada is like a mountain pressing down on the goblins.
As long as this mountain is not overturned, our fairy clan will be buried in the ground.
Now that we have Lord Qige leading us, we have been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and yet you're still here saying that you just want to be a guard?
Clarence, I want you to grow and improve, not only for you, but also for countless goblins.
From the moment we met Lord Qige, the mission of turning the tide for the fairy tribe fell on us.
If we and Lord Seven Pigeons fail, how much time do you think our fairy tribe will have to wait for the next Lord Seven Pigeons?
Ten years? One hundred years? One thousand years?
What if I can’t wait any longer? What if I never get it again?”
Clarence looked at Ke Ruoke's serious expression and was speechless for a moment.
Ke Ruoke's expression became a little kinder. He took a deep breath and said:
“It just so happens that there is this opportunity.
Clarence, let me ask you, Lord Qi Ge asked you to stay in Xin Yue Village before, why did you apply to come back? "
Clarence lowered his head and replied, "Uncle Ke Ruoke, I want to spend more time with you."
"Confused." Ke Ruoke tapped Clarence again and said:
“If it weren’t for Master Qige, I would have died in Silver Snow City.
Is this life that I have managed to survive to keep you company?
I've sacrificed my life to support those goblins!
In the past, I didn’t have enough ability and could only earn some gold coins to barely help a few goblins from starving to death.
Now that I am capable enough, I will help all the fairies never go hungry.
This is my path and my mission.
What's your path, Clarence?"
Clarence straightened his chest and answered loudly:
"Uncle Ke Ruoke, my path is to follow you. Wherever you go, I will follow."
"you!"
Ke Ruoke was so angry that his hat shook.
He sighed, patted the documents on the table, and ordered:
"Well, in that case, you should memorize all of this, without missing a single word.
Otherwise, I will tell the lord to change the guard."
Clarence sat next to Ke Ruoke with an aggrieved look on his face and began to flip through the books with some unhappiness.
Ke Ruoke glanced at Clarence and said in her heart:
"Clarence, I'm not trying to embarrass you.
When we fairies begin to rise, there will be countless pressures and obstacles.
I hold the flag high and charge ahead, and I may fall on the way at any time.
When I fall, someone has to take over my flag.
Clarence, I have watched you grow up and I know your character very well.
At the moment, there is no more suitable goblin than you.
If I cannot follow Master Qige, you will follow me."
…
…
On the muddy swamp, the Sky Whale and the Silver Spirit sailed steadily.
From their smooth and shiny appearance, it is impossible to tell that they have just experienced a dangerous attack.
The swamp mud worms that emerged from the swamp attacked the Seven Pigeons' fleet in crazy numbers.
The swamp mud worm has an extremely long and narrow body, is plump and white, and looks very nutritious.
However, their specially constructed mouthparts allow them to ignore defense when attacking, and their damage is extremely high.
The Silver Spirit's magic shield was of great help in this attack.
The swamp mudworm's mouthparts can ignore physical defenses, but have no effect on magic shields.
With the help of Elena's improvised [Disaster Potion: Earthquake], the Silver Spirit's magic shield successfully blocked the three-hour continuous attack.
But just when the attack was over, everyone suddenly discovered that Qi Ge, Sylvia and Nimbas all fainted at the moment the attack ended.
Elena was the only hero left of the fleet
…
…
"here it is?"
Qi Ge shook his head and sat up from the mud.
He looked around and saw many ant-men in shackles holding torches, grinning and looking fierce.
"The illusion begins..."
Qi Ge felt inexplicably heavy in his heart.
If you want to conquer the Tamer's Mud, you must accomplish sufficiently powerful feats in the illusion.
In the previous life, there was a record of a player successfully completing the Tamer's Mud once, and he selflessly shared the strategy guide with them.
But this guide is of almost no use.
Because of the illusion of the Tamer's Mud, the situation you encounter each time you enter is different.
This illusion must involve a world related to the tamer, but it is not necessarily the Yasa world.
There are tens of thousands of worlds swallowed by chaos, and among these countless worlds, there are countless worlds related to animal tamers.
For players, it is already difficult enough to figure out the rules of the world within a limited time. If they want to leave the illusion, they have to find the hidden conditions for passing the level in the illusion, which is not easy at all.
Qi Ge is still in a daze, but the world will not stop for Qi Ge.
When Qi Ge stood up, he heard a tall ant-man with a huge butt standing on his two hind legs roaring from the high platform in front of him:
“Those damned animal trainers enslaved our queen ants and made us work for them for generations.
It would be fine if they treated our queen ant well, but they even took away the Ant King Oar that we worked so hard to brew.
The queen ant mother is already exhausted from hunger and doesn't even have the strength to continue giving birth. If this continues, our [Ant Tribe] will surely be wiped out!
Fellow countrymen, we have no way out!
Resist, struggle, rush to the ground, and kill all those trainers!"
"Kill all those beast trainers!"
Each ant-man held up a torch, and the tentacles above his head trembled.
The leading big-butt Ant-Man shouted loudly:
"Bring up the beast trainer we captured, and let his charred corpse pave the way for our resistance!"
Qi Ge saw that a very weak man in black robe was brought to the platform, surrounded by a group of ant-men.
A group of ant men holding torches surrounded the man in black robes. The big-butt ant man suddenly lifted the hood of the man in black robes, pointed at his nose and asked:
"Beast Tamer, do you admit that you have imprisoned our [Ant Cutter]?"
Through the dazzling firelight, Qi Ge tried hard to look at the stage.
He grinned and almost cursed:
"Fuck! Nimbas?!"
…
…
"What is the meaning of detention or not?"
Nimbas looked at the strange creature in front of him with confusion and said gently:
"What question did you just ask? I didn't hear it clearly."
Big-Ass Ant-Man was furious:
"How dare you play dumb! Guilty, death penalty! Burn it!!"
A group of ant-men immediately approached Nimbas with torches in hand.
Qi Ge was extremely panicked.
Nimbas is an NPC. If he dies in the illusion, he is really dead.
He quickly pressed down on the back of an Ant-Man and stepped on him!
"You can't burn it! You can't burn it!"
Qi Ge stepped on the ant-men one after another and ran towards the platform.
Thanks to the half-elf's flexible body, Qi Ge can run fast even on the Ant Man's bumpy and spiky head.
The cries of Qi Ge immediately attracted the attention of countless ant people.
When the Big-Butt Ant-Man saw Qi Ge, his butt shook several times.
He cried out in horror:
“Another animal trainer.
Oh no, a beast tamer has sneaked in.
Everyone, hurry up and catch him. Don't let him get away."
Qi Ge shouted loudly:
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! We are here to join you!"
As a result of this delay, Qi Ge ran from the center of the ants to the platform.
He said loudly:
"I am a beast trainer, but I am not in league with the beast trainer who imprisoned you.
We are the beast tamers of the detained beast tamers, and others call us the strongest beast tamers!
Tamers are your enemies, and our enemies.
We are in the same group!"
Not only the Big-Belly Ant-Man was stunned by these words, but even Nimbas was stunned.
He asked loudly:
"Master, what is the situation now, what do we need to do?"
Qi Ge immediately said:
“Don’t be afraid, Nimbas, just think of it as an illusion that will soon pass.
There must be some misunderstanding that caused the [Ant Cutter Tribe] to capture you by mistake.
Once the misunderstanding is resolved, everything will be fine.”
Nimbas suddenly realized:
"Then I will stay here and wait for your orders."
The big-bellied ant-man shook the tentacles on his head left and right, looking a little at a loss.
The ants under the stone platform were also swaying left and right, shaking restlessly.
Qi Ge saw that the big-bellied ant-man used the tentacles on his head to collide with the tentacles on the heads of the surrounding ant-men several times.
Then, he took a big step forward, stopped in front of Qi Ge, and asked loudly:
“We have never heard of any strongest beast tamer.
You don't look like us ants at all, how do you prove that you are not in the same group as those animal trainers?"
How to prove it?
I don't even know what's going on now.
I don't even understand what a beast tamer is.
Seven Pigeons glanced at Nimbas, and suddenly an idea came to him. He said loudly:
"We have great power that surpasses that of animal trainers and can help revive your dead companions!
As long as you have the bodies of your fallen companions, we can provide you with an army that is not afraid of death and can help you fight against the Tamers.
You see, we are all surrounded by you.
If we were your enemies, you could burn us to death at any time. We are no threat to you, right?"
The ant-men used their tentacles to collide with each other a few more times and soon came to a conclusion:
"Then prove it to us."
The big-butt ant-man shook his butt at the ants for a while, and soon a group of ant-men came over carrying a dozen corpses of ant-men with missing arms and heads.
Qi Ge winked at Nimbas, who immediately understood and used necromancy on the corpses of the group of ant-men.
With Nimbas' current power, he cannot summon high-level soldiers, and can only summon skeleton soldiers, that is, turn the bones of the Ant-Man's corpse into undead.
Originally, Qi Ge was ready to explain why Ant-Man turned into a skeleton, but it just so happened that Ant-Man's bones grew outside the skin.
Their skeletons are composed of a waxy chemical called chitin, which covers the outside of Ant-Man's body.
Under the effects of necromancy, Ant-Man's insides dissolved, but his outer shell stood up.
Their limbs grew back, and even those ants that were missing heads had their heads restored.
"Wow! He's really resurrected."
"The animal trainers definitely don't have this kind of power, otherwise they wouldn't oppress the queen ant and force her to be infertile."
The Ant Man chirped, and his hostility towards Seven Pigeons and Nimbas disappeared by more than half.
Even the big-butt Ant-Man was shaking his tentacles and his head from side to side, extremely excited.
Qi Ge was also surprised, but he pretended to be calm and as if everything was under control.
“As I said, we are your allies.
We should work together to kill the trainer and save the queen ant instead of hurting each other."
Just when Qi Ge thought he could survive this wave, suddenly, a giant ant-man with a huge body and a head like a steel ball rushed onto the platform.
He pointed at the Seven Pigeons and Nimbas and shouted:
"He's lying!"
