Chapter 34 – Cave-dwelling sneak attack


In a small room, a middle-aged man with a bald head spoke in a deep voice.

“Since I was young, I have always hated people who don’t follow the rules.”

“Whenever I saw classmates or colleagues cheating on exams or copying homework, I was always the first to report!”

“I really respect rules. I always keep the ‘Special Management Regulations’ set by the committee on my bedside. Everything must be done according to relevant laws and regulations, in production and operation. This is my personal principle.”

The prosecutor, Song Shiyi, sitting across from him, had a strange expression on her face.

“So, Jia Xiaokai, why are you here?”

“It’s a misunderstanding! It’s a frame-up…”

Song Shiyi interrupted him, “Let’s get to the point.”

“We all know that individuals in the low-dimensional space cannot break through the dimensional restrictions independently. They must have players to cooperate.”

“You said you didn’t remotely control anyone, then how did Yu Yao from the East Sea clan enter the real world? That was your controlled tribe.”

“I don’t know either.”

Jia Xiaokai shrugged, “You can’t frame innocent people, can you? Although I have made some small mistakes… but I have been serving my sentence in confinement for the past two years without any violations.”

“Jia Xiaokai, you are the first case of organizing a low-dimensional group for cross-border prostitution.”

Song Shiyi’s gaze sharpened, “Using low-dimensional believers and ordinary people to breed mutants, although you are not the first, you have the highest number of offenses in history.”

“You said you respect rules, do you believe it yourself?”

Jia Xiaokai ran his hand through his hair, showing no embarrassment on his face, but instead a smile, “Prosecutor Song, let’s not bring up the past. After you arrested me, I have been honestly managing faith in the crawling area here. You can check all of this in the Temple of the Gods.”

“By the way, it must be the props in my room. It was Yu Yao who used the props to cross over. It must be the only possibility.”

Song Shiyi said sternly, “I hope you can cooperate with the committee’s investigation and tell the truth. Otherwise, once we find out, you will face multiple charges and your imprisonment period will be extended. Take care of yourself.”

After the young female prosecutor left, the small room returned to darkness, with only the flickering light of the computer on the table.

Jia Xiaokai’s face turned gloomy.

His trump cards were not revealed yet, and he would eventually soar to the sky.

“What does the committee matter once I enter the leap zone? They are just a bunch of cowards who bully the weak.”

“Song Shiyi, weren’t you from a girl group? I will make you wear a jumpsuit and dance to the song ‘Honey, Honey, I Love You’ in front of me!”

Lu Yao opened the takeout box and took out the ginger duck noodles. He slowly ate them with pickled radish slices and sour plum soup.

After Zhou Qiang moved out, this place returned to its usual tranquility.

He could finally focus his attention and return to the simulator.

Isabella naturally returned to the pixel world.

She was the most important strategic weapon under Lu Yao. It could be said that the rapid development of the Garlic Tribe was due to Isabella’s extraordinary personal abilities.

Normally, a tribe needed patience, continuous attention, and care to develop civilization and expand its population.

The progress of civilization required long-term accumulation to show a spiral-like rise.

Lu Yao had a faint feeling that the divine players in the safe zone could not normally possess apostles.

There was no relevant option in the Miracle Overview. Isabella seemed more like an inheritance from the Forest God that Lu Yao received.

He estimated that to independently create an apostle, he would need to leave the safe zone, build wonders, and enter the crawling area to have the corresponding options.

Lu Yao looked at the top right corner.

Population: 11,371 Faith: 11,094

Under the advancement of the ghost city Sanilo, these data were still increasing. Compared to the reproduction of living beings, it was much easier to find the ghosts left by the dead in a short time.

Under the strong promotion of Mayor Chapman, Commander Alex and his soldiers found one wandering ghost after another by the seaside. Most of them were willing to join Sanilo to obtain the protection of the gods.

The work of absorbing ghosts by Sanilo had further advanced into the desert.

Due to Isabella’s massacre of sandworms in the desert, the threat level there had greatly decreased.

With consecutive kills of sandworm groups, Isabella’s “Sword of the Forest” ability was also triggered. Two “Spotted Leopards” were created and they ran into the forest, acting as invisible guardians of the Garlic Tribe.

The only downside was that the large city of Sanilo did not have decent sacrifices.

Mayor Chapman explained the reason.

All the precious treasures in the city were offered to the Forest God, but with the fall of the divine beings, their whereabouts were unknown. Later, the gods also discovered that there were no sacrifices here. Combined with Sanilo’s refusal to surrender easily, it attracted the curse of the totem.Lu Yao asked Isabella, “You were once an Apostle of the Forest God, why do the people of Sanilo City know nothing about you?”

“My lord, Apostles often travel abroad and rarely stay in one place, so the believers know very little about us.”

Considering that Xiao Huo, a temple servant, also didn’t recognize Isabella, her explanation seemed plausible.

Lu Yao decided not to probe further.

Just as Lu Yao was closely monitoring the situation in Sanilo, something happened in the Garlic Tribe.

In the mountains to the west that had been destroyed by an earthquake, some “Cave Monsters” suddenly appeared.

To buy time for the Garlic Tribe to gather reinforcements, two hero hunters and a fisherman led five hunters to lure the Cave Monsters in another direction. However, due to their numerical disadvantage, the hero hunters and four of the hunters were killed, leaving only the injured fisherman alive.

The news came so suddenly that Lu Yao was caught off guard, followed by anger.

Ignoring the situation in the mountains, you guys dare to provoke me?

“Isabella, slaughter those Cave Monsters to accompany the hunters in death.”

Upon receiving the order, the Apostle rushed into the mountains.

Soon, the word “In Battle” appeared above Isabella’s head.

Lu Yao clicked to enter the battle screen.

In the battle scene, the Cave Monsters were humanoid creatures with bare upper bodies and stone masks on their heads. They wielded stone spears and were covered in thick fur. Their levels ranged from LV1 to LV5, with a total of five.

Facing such a scale of monsters, it was indeed difficult for heroes without soldiers to fight.

Lu Yao glanced at the panel of the highest-level Cave Monster.

……

“Cave Monster LV5”

Health: 102/102

Mana: 22/22

Damage: 6

Defense: 4

Speed: 4

“Strong Lv2”

Health is above normal level, can maintain high morale for a long period.

……

For Isabella, no matter how many Cave Monsters there were, they were nothing more than insects. They charged desperately, but they couldn’t break through Isabella’s defense at all, and their thrown stone spears all missed.

Isabella ruthlessly slaughtered her way through, and after wiping out two groups of Cave Monsters, she finally found their main lair. Their nest was on a mountain, where there were ten more, led by a “Mutated Cave Monster”.

……

“Mutated Cave Monster LV10”

Health: 219/219

Mana: 51/51

Damage: 8

Defense: 6

Speed: 6

“Strong Lv5”

Health is above normal level, can maintain high morale for a long period.

“Heavy Hit LV1”

Has a chance to deal extra damage when attacking.

……

In the Cave Monster’s lair, there were also people from the Salt Pool Tribe coming and going.

Seeing Isabella’s arrival, these people panicked and ran outside.

Lu Yao frowned.

These troublemakers are everywhere.

It was hard to say that the sudden attack on the Garlic Tribe by the Cave Monsters had nothing to do with the Salt Pool Tribe.

Facing Isabella, the “Mutated Cave Monster” actually turned tail and ran, fleeing with the people from the Salt Pool Tribe, showing no leadership at all.

You think you can run after offending a god?

Lu Yao directly summoned a bolt of lightning, dealing 40 points of damage to the “Mutated Cave Monster”. This electric shock slowed the Cave Monster’s escape, and Isabella immediately caught up with it.

Summoning her holy sword, Isabella completely overwhelmed the Mutated Cave Monster. After a series of slashes and green light bombardments, the health bar of this Cave Monster leader was emptied, and the word “Dead” appeared above its head after it fell.

Isabella then began to exterminate the other Cave Monsters.

Perhaps due to their low intelligence, the lower-level Cave Monsters were fearless and charged forward one after another, even though they were all easily killed by Isabella.

After the battle, Isabella stood with her sword, and from the bodies on the ground, specks of green light emerged, gradually condensing into a small animal.

……

“Field Rabbit LV5” [Created by Isabella]

Health: 75/75

Mana: 25/25

Damage: 2

Defense: 2

Speed: 10

“Field Runner LV5”

Can run at high speed for a long time, evading enemies.

“Forest Element LV1”

A forest elemental creature, beneficial for the rapid growth of the forest, all attributes are enhanced in the forest. The effect depends on the ability level and health.

……

The attributes of the Field Rabbit can’t be said to be outstanding, but it’s better than nothing.

“My lord.”

Isabella said, “It can serve as a hub for communication between tribes, delivering messages.”

But Lu Yao’s main concern was not this rabbit.

He typed in the dialogue box.

– Ask the spirits, why did the Cave Monsters attack the Garlic Tribe, who is behind this.
