Chapter 865 The Legend of the Crocodile God
For every 2 points of magic spent, "Life Magic Conversion" can only restore 1d6 points of health to itself, and cannot heal others. It is a simplified youth version of "spontaneous medical treatment". If there is a professional divine spellcaster, "Life Magic Conversion" will not be used.
In addition to being used for self-rescue when it is necessary, "Life Magic Conversion" has another consoling benefit, that is, when the mage uses this trick to restore his own health, the magic pet can also obtain the same healing effect, which is equivalent to sharing the buff.
Ma Yun's magic pet Xiao Hui also upgraded synchronously with the master, and the life dice jumped directly from 3HD to 9HD!
The current life value is 58, defense 18 (natural +3, agility +4, size +1), and the attributes are: strength 6, agility 18, constitution 16, intelligence 3, perception 14, charm 10.
The petrification DC of the magic horn depends on Xiao Hui's constitution attribute.
Counting the double proficiency modifier provided by "Ability Focus (Petrification)", the petrification DC is as high as 19!
The biggest shortcoming of the petrification horn of wild unicorns is that the DC is too low. Ordinary people with relatively strong bodies have a high probability of successfully exempting it, and it is not very valuable in actual combat.
However, at Xiao Hui's level, the DC19 Fortitude Exemption is not something that ordinary people can resist.
Even if Xiao Hui cannot completely petrify the enemy, reducing the opponent's agility attribute by a few points and making it slow to react also has great practical value.
Ma Yun is eager to upgrade the level of the Artificer, mainly to quickly improve her spellcasting ability.
Starting from level 9, she can learn 4th-ring magic, which has exceeded her progress in the game!
On Ma Yun's learning list, the 4th-ring magic with the highest priority, needless to say, everyone knows that it must be "Anywhere Door"!
Gao Fei is very pleased with Xiao Ma's rapid growth, and is also considering "hitchhiking".
He now has 32,900 experience points. If he spends 30,000 points, he can upgrade the Tiangong Special Police to level 17, with +1 free expertise and +6 proficiency modifiers. Unless he breaks through level 20 and enters the legendary realm, the proficiency modifier will be capped at +6.
Gao Fei's level 5 "Spell Thief", including the +6 "Proficient Spellcaster", has a spellcasting level of 11. However, if he wants to copy 4-ring magic, he must have at least 12 spellcasting levels.
According to this upgrade plan, Gao Fei's remaining experience points are not enough to upgrade the Spell Thief to level 6.
There is another upgrade plan, which is to upgrade the Spell Thief to level 7 first, and make up 12 spellcasting levels to reach the minimum standard for copying "Anywhere Door".
But in this case, the remaining experience points are not enough to upgrade the special police level.
How to choose?
Gao Fei hesitated for a while, and finally insisted on upgrading the Tiangong Special Police to level 17 first.
It will take at least a week for Xiao Ma to learn the "Anywhere Door", during which time he will have enough experience points to upgrade the Spell Thief.
Let's put it another way, he can get the "Anywhere Door" from Ma Yun sooner or later, so there is no need to rush.
…
The southwestern part of Irian Island, close to the equator, is hot and rainy. Coupled with the rise and fall of tides in coastal areas, a lush tropical forest and swamp has formed, covering an area of about 25,600 square kilometers, traditionally known as the Asmat region.
The local indigenous Asmat tribe, with about 70,000 people, was once one of the most notorious headhunting and cannibal tribes in human history.
The Asmat tribe on the coast has been influenced by modern civilization and has frequently interacted with outsiders, and has gradually become civilized.
However, there are still some Asmat people living deep in the primeval forest who still maintain their mysterious traditional culture.
Gao Fei and his party drifted on the Digur River for five days, finally disembarked and walked into Pep's hometown, Pirian Village.
Pirian Village is a prosperous village with a permanent population of more than 4,000. It is one of the largest villages in the Asmat region and is also known as the "Crocodile Village".
In addition to the fact that there are groups of crocodiles living in the nearby swamps, there is also a legend in the village about the common ancestor of crocodiles and humans that has been passed down to this day.
It is said that in ancient times, when the warriors of Pirian Village went out to hunt heads, if they encountered strong enemies, there would always be a giant crocodile that would come out halfway to help them repel the enemy and save the danger.
Over time, the people of Pirian Village began to worship this powerful and mysterious crocodile and worship it as a patron saint.
Other villages around, especially the villagers of Xiulu who have been enemies with Pirian Village for generations, regard this crocodile as an evil spirit and hate it to the bone.
The people of Xiulu Village suspect that this crocodile that comes and goes without a trace may be the incarnation of a man in Pirian Village.
One day, hunters from the village of Xulu met the crocodile on the road, and they shot arrows at the crocodile together.
Most of the arrows were bounced off by the crocodile's strong scales, and only one arrow with a high throwing angle fell from the air and happened to pierce the crocodile's eye.
The seriously injured crocodile struggled to climb onto the shore and tried to escape back to the village of Pirion.
The blood that kept flowing out of the wound exposed its tracks, and it was eventually caught up by the hunters of the village of Xulu and surrounded.
People killed the crocodile with axes and spears, and shared its flesh and blood.
Coincidentally, on the same day that the crocodile died, the man who was suspected to be the incarnation of the crocodile also disappeared and never appeared again.
The people of Pirion Village, hearing about this, beat war drums in anger, gathered together, picked up spears and shields, smeared chalk on their faces, boarded canoes, and chased the hunters of their old enemy, the village of Xulu, overnight.
The chase lasted for ten days, and finally all the hunters of the village of Xulu who participated in killing the crocodile were caught by the hunters of the village of Pirion who were angry for revenge.
The avengers cut the throats of the captives, used sharp daggers made from the leg bones of the crane camel, and drilled holes in the temples of the dead, poured out the brains, poured them into wooden bowls and drank them, and finally even ate the corpses.
The avengers also took back the remains of the crocodile and held a grand funeral for it.
From then on, the people of Pirion Village regarded themselves as descendants of the "crocodile god" and inherited his legacy.
I don't know whether it was a coincidence or intentional, but this ancient myth has regained its vitality in recent years, triggering a wave of fanatical worship in the village of Pirion, which continues to this day.
The story started two years ago.
At that time, Pep's cousin Dong Bowie was just an ordinary young man in Pirion Village.
That summer, Dong Bowie disappeared for a long time. When he returned to the village again, he had turned into a half-human, half-crocodile monster.
Dong Bowie claimed that he had returned from Savan and used his body as a boat to carry the soul of the "Crocodile God", the ancestor of Pirion Village, back to the world. That's why he could freely transform between the two forms of human and crocodile like the legendary Crocodile God, and even maintain the form of half-human, half-crocodile.
