The majority of the Eastern Continent is covered in grasslands, making it difficult to hide. The relatively concealed areas are either backed by forests or are rocky gullies.

The information provided by the fish people narrowed down Lu Yao’s search range.

The northern coastal area.

Further filtering.

Terrain with cover.

After careful investigation, Lu Yao locked onto the target.

In an inconspicuous small forest, there was a pile of rocks with a large stone in a stone mortar. The stone had a mushroom-like shape on the outside, with moss growing on the surface, making it inconspicuous.

But when Lu Yao moved his mouse over it, he immediately saw through its true identity.

【Unknown God Statue】

Found you, kid.

Lu Yao and Isabella discussed their plan for the divine battle.

Isabella suggested using the traditional blitzkrieg tactic, immediately bombarding the statue with miracles to completely eliminate it, just like dealing with the Skeleton God.

This method was very mature and stable.

With the enemy in the dark and us in the light, utilizing the information gap for a lightning-fast battle could quickly establish an advantage.

Lu Yao thought it was reliable. But when he thought about it carefully, something was not right.

What am I afraid of?

I should be afraid of that kid.

First of all, the Apostle is locked in the Eastern Continent and has no idea where Lu Yao’s temple is located. He is completely blind and unable to move. Even if this blind guy without legs has a strong fist, it would be useless if he can’t find Lu Yao’s location. This is the advantage of geography.

In terms of combat power reserves, Lu Yao has a backup force led by four senior apostles, and the ghosts and fish people around him are all informants. This is the advantage of manpower.

The Apostle has only recently entered the shattered world and is still in a weak stage. This is the advantage of timing.

Having the advantage of geography, manpower, and timing, I hold the upper hand.

Lu Yao was ready to make a small attempt. If it failed, he would switch to a lightning-fast, violent attack to destroy the statue and send the Apostle to his demise.

…

First, Lu Yao used a magic potion crucible to refine the Crazy Pill.

He asked Isabella to catch some rabbits, feed them the pills, and send the rabbits near the statue. These crazy little animals could both trigger traps and attract the enemy’s attention.

The Deep Sea Lord sneaked into the sea, ready to provide support and intercept the retreat from the sea route at any time.

Phileas drove the Skeleton King Jiu and hid underground in a distant location, waiting for the right moment to strike.

There were no apparent flaws on the surface.

The crazy rabbits not only triggered traps but also revealed a lot of information to Lu Yao.

There was a kind of “fungus strain” growing near the Apostle’s statue. The rabbits died after eating it. Moreover, the closer they were to the statue, the larger these green mushrooms grew.

Some of the green mushrooms even emerged from the ground, revealing their white and green bodies, and their names on top changed to “fungus people.”

Lu Yao realized that the Apostle was cultivating “fungus people,” similar to a mutated dungeon flow strategy. They spread mushrooms everywhere and then gradually expanded their influence.

He couldn’t give the enemy a chance to develop.

Lu Yao immediately adjusted the plan and used Aegir’s Fire to target the location of the statue.

Regardless of whether it would be effective, he started with a round of meteor showers to cleanse the area.

Using the “Mirror of Fiery Blaze,” he aimed at the statue and launched a miraculous bombardment.

As meteor showers fell from the sky, the surrounding ground was filled with craters from the meteor group. In the billowing smoke, the fire burned the weeds and trees into charcoal, and the mushrooms on the ground were completely destroyed. It seemed that his mushrooms were not fireproof.

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the firepower was sufficient.

Otherwise, these poisonous mushrooms might have caused some unexpected trouble.

As Lu Yao expected, the Apostle did not protect these mushrooms.

This was understandable.

To the Apostle, mushrooms were not irreplaceable and not worth wasting faith on.

Next was the most essential part of Lu Yao’s plan.

The long-ambushed snowman, Jimmy, rode the Ghost White Horse and took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the statue.

…

Before the operation, Lu Yao repeatedly asked Jimmy.

– Are you confident?

“Divine Lord, please trust Jimmy. Snowmen know what to do! Jimmy is very experienced in stealing fire and can easily succeed against apprentice gods.”

“Faced with apprentice gods, Jimmy has never failed.”

Lu Yao was puzzled.

There seemed to be something not quite right.

– Besides the Dark God, have you stolen from other gods?

“Yes, Divine Lord.”

Jimmy’s head sprouted a smiling face. “Before this, I have tried on many apprentice gods and some statues of the gods. I have never failed once! Please believe in Jimmy!”

“The Dark God is a very terrifying main god. Jimmy must have full confidence to enter His temple and steal fire.”

The snowman rubbed his hands together, seemingly quite proud.

“…”

Lu Yao didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.

The seemingly honest snowman turned out to be an old offender.

At this moment, it was indeed the time for it to display its traditional skills.

Lu Yao nervously watched the simulator.

The snowman, hiding in the distance, rode his horse to the side of the statue. With a swipe of his red-gloved hand, he grabbed something in the air. Then, without looking back, he swiftly fled.

Lu Yao saw the faith bar in the upper right corner increase by 1650, unable to contain his excitement.

It worked!

The snowman really knew what to do!

Seeing the opportunity, Lu Yao immediately clicked on “Lightning” to launch an attack.

Caught off guard, the Apostle was pulled back and forth by this combination of attacks and could only desperately use the fire of faith to defend.

This time, Lu Yao only used 200 lightning strikes to blast the statue into pieces. Fragments flew out, and he quickly collected an item into his inventory.

However, Lu Yao didn’t feel relieved at all.

Because the simulator did not give the expected reminder.

The Apostle’s faith did not completely disappear.

It did not fall like the Skeleton God.

Phileas had mentioned it before.

The Apostle has two apostles, one being the mud monster that was previously killed, and the other being a earth elemental creature, but they have not appeared since the bombardment with Aegir’s Fire.It might have something to do with the Earth Element Apostle.

Lu Yao cast the Earthquake spell around him a dozen more times, causing the ground to be filled with cracks, but he still couldn’t find any other statues or suspicious objects.

Most likely, the Skeleton God had not left this land yet.

Lu Yao immediately ordered the Blood Knight to lead the Corruptors to search for traces of the Skeleton God, and also gave Phileas further orders to continue searching underground. They had to turn this continent upside down to find the statue!

Then it was a matter of patiently waiting.

Lu Yao opened a can of iced cola, took a big gulp, and felt slightly more awake.

Then he opened his inventory to check his loot.

……

[Traveler’s Boots]: Faith +1/hour, Speed +1.

……

A better-than-nothing item.

Now Lu Yao was even more certain that the Skeleton God had deliberately thrown out this item to attract attention and gain a chance to escape.

He had won strategically.

But the opponent had managed to sneak away in the end.

Lu Yao wasn’t annoyed.

The Skeleton God’s ability to escape was not within the intelligence range. If he managed to escape by some special means, it was his skill.

However, the Skeleton God had been severely injured, and all they needed to do next was to shrink the area to pinpoint his location.

Lu Yao gave the Traveler’s Boots to the Snowman.

The Snowman needed speed, so having it would be somewhat beneficial.

“Thank you for your grace, Lord God. Jimmy did not let you down and also gained a little.”

Jimmy spread his arms, holding an item in his red gloves.

Lu Yao was taken aback. He didn’t expect the Snowman to not only steal the Flame of Faith but also get an item from the statue.

It was a green ring.

……

[Growth Ring LV4]: Faith +2/hour, slightly increases the growth rate of nearby plants when holding this item.

……

Lu Yao was delighted.

This was a good thing!

Without the Incubation Ring, the growth rate of the Skeleton God’s mushrooms would decrease, greatly reducing their danger.

In addition, although this ring couldn’t increase the birth rate of the population, it could enhance the growth of Treants and forests.

Lu Yao clicked on the ring and found that its effect range was displayed on it, with the green light just covering one screen.

When she had nothing to do, he could let Isabella wear the ring and wander in the forest, which would be a long-term benefit.

……

Underground.

In the deep cave, a strong yellow multi-legged insect was lying, carrying a mushroom statue on its back.

Green fungi had begun to grow on the walls of the cave.

The Skeleton God calmed down and gradually realized that the one who attacked him was not the Skeleton God.

But the problem followed.

How could there be a god of the gods in this fragment world?

The opponent almost destroyed the statue in one face, making him fall on the spot. The overwhelming layout from beginning to end, the cold and swift attack was full of oppression… it made him feel a little breathless.

There was very little Flame of Faith left in the statue. If he encountered that hostile god again, he would undoubtedly die.

Could it be… the Forest God really came back to life?

Or did this fragment world give birth to a native god?

No matter which situation, it was bad for him.

Very bad.

The Skeleton God thought about it and found that there was no chance of winning.

If it really didn’t work, he could only use the last resort…

Submit to the opponent and become a subordinate god!

After all, he had submitted to the Whistleblower before, so the Skeleton God didn’t feel any burden this time.

Continuing the faith is the essence of being a god.
