War Escalates! The Birth of the First Magical Treasure!
The blueprint for the "wolf's tooth club" that the Tongtian Jiaozhu threw down caused a huge uproar in the Youchao Shi clan.
A craftsman responsible for forging the "Demolition Hammer" was carrying stones when a piece of Beast Skin Blueprint happened to be blown by his feet in the breeze.
He didn't care and picked it up casually.
At just one glance, the grotesque and terrifying weapon design on the blueprint made his breath catch in his throat for a moment.
A deep-seated desire and adoration for extreme violence was instantly ignited.
"Apocalypse!"
"This is a divine revelation from the God of Construction!"
The craftsman was so excited that his arms were trembling. He held the blueprints high as if he were holding a supreme divine decree.
He immediately summoned the tribe's most skilled stonemasons and carpenters, lit all the torches, and worked through the night.
The next day, by the river.
When the two armies faced each other again from a distance, the atmosphere was completely different.
Before the Youchao Shi's "construction legion," a batch of brand-new equipment had been put on display.
It was a brand-new murder weapon made by polishing a whole piece of obsidian into countless sharp spikes, and then using tough, oil-soaked vines to firmly fix it to a thick wooden handle.
It is heavier and more imposing than a sledgehammer.
The obsidian spikes reflected a cold, eerie light in the sunlight, sending chills down the spines of the Suiren Shi clan members on the opposite bank just by looking at them.
"For our new home--!"
Youchao Shi's battle cry rang out, the vanguard, wielding "wolf-tooth clubs," charged straight into Suiren Shi's lines like tigers descending from the mountain, carrying a primal, murderous aura.
"Bang! Crack!"
The sound effects on the battlefield have completely changed.
"Aww--!"
The screams of agony rose and fell.
If the hammer blow earlier dealt -10 blunt damage with a stun effect, then...
Now, when the spiked club strikes, it's a piercing critical hit of "-25", and it also inflicts a continuous bleeding debuff!
Suiren Shi's "Barbecue Expeditionary Force" was completely stunned on the spot.
Their prized "Barbecue Fork," capable of accurately stabbing someone in the buttocks, were as fragile as a straw in the face of their menacing spiked clubs.
Just one glance.
The barbecue chefs in the front row were smashed to pieces, their health bars plummeting, and they turned into streaks of white light, returning to their respawn point with faces full of humiliation and disbelief.
"That's not fair!"
"They're cheating! This is absolutely cheating!"
"What the hell is that thing! It's so cheating!"
For the first time since the start of the war, the morale of the Suiren Shi Tribe had plummeted to rock bottom.
Just as Youchao Shi's army was about to sweep through the tribe and smash their beloved large earthenware pot, it was clear that Youchao's army was about to achieve a complete victory and advance all the way to the tribe.
At this critical moment...
Behind the Suiren Shi Tribe, a thin figure silently withdrew from the chaotic battlefield.
She was a girl who was inconspicuous in the tribe and even somewhat aloof.
She disliked deafening fighting and killing, and was not obsessed with figuring out exactly how much spice to put in grilled fish.
Her only hobby is collecting all kinds of sparkly stones and brightly colored flowers and plants.
Her name was "Nuwa".
Nuwa watched her people retreat in defeat and on the verge of collapse, her small face filled with anxiety.
She also wanted to do something for the tribe.
But she was too weak; she couldn't even swing the lightest Barbecue Fork, let alone learn those complicated combat maneuvers.
She returned to her small tent dejectedly, looking at the pile of "treasures" she had collected over the past few days.
A smooth, translucent white stone picked up from the edge of a volcano.
A section of "Dragon Tendon vine" pulled from the depths of the swamp, said to be able to bind crocodiles.
There is also a colorful mushroom that grows on a cliff and emits a strange, sweet fragrance.
She stared blankly at these things, and suddenly a strange image flashed through her mind.
That was a scene she witnessed once when she was spying on those "gods" (GMs) from a distance.
She saw that the chubby god (Qiankun), known as the "God of God of Food," did not roughly mix ingredients when making food. Instead, he used a magical power to make different flavors "befriend" each other, ultimately fusing them into a completely new and intoxicating delicacy.
She also saw that the god (Yuanshi) who always had a stern face but would secretly give children light-emitting building blocks would make different lights "hold hands" to form a more stable and magnificent structure when building a luminous house.
Make friends?
Holding hands?
A bold idea, one that even she herself found absurd, quietly sprouted in her mind.
What if... I could also make friends with these precious items?
She picked up the smooth, white stone, and then the sturdy Dragon Tendon vine.
She did not use brute force to bind them.
She imitated the gods in her memory, closed her eyes, and used her insignificant spiritual power to "sense" their presence.
She whispered to the stone, "Stone, oh stone, you are so hard, could you spare even a little bit of your strength for the vines?"
She then spoke softly to the vines, "Vine, oh vine, you are so supple, could you also hug the stone so it won't be so lonely?"
This is a very simple prayer, stemming from the belief that all things possess a spirit.
Laughable, and naive.
However, at this very moment...
Far away in the "Great Dao Candy House" of the underworld, Lin Shen, who was idly licking a lollipop shaped like the "Immortal Slaying Sword," happened to witness this amusing scene through a light screen.
"Huh? This Little Dot is talking to the rocks and vines! How fun!"
He found this little creature named "Wa" much more interesting than those idiots who only knew how to swing hammers and poke with forks.
He happily licked the lollipop again.
He didn't do anything intentionally.
But as one of the embodiments of the Great Dao, his "gaze" is itself a supreme law.
Wherever his gaze falls, there lies the "Tao".
In that instant, a wisp of supreme "Daoist charm," formless and intangible, transcending time and space, quietly descended upon Nuwa along that mysterious connection.
This rhythm is like a key.
It didn't exert any power; it simply twisted gently and unlocked the Shackles of the most fundamental laws governing matter!
Buzz--!
The white stone and the Dragon Tendon vine in Nuwa's hands simultaneously emitted a clear and melodious sound!
The stone is no longer an inanimate object; its internal crystalline structure softens and extends on its own, perfectly intertwining and fusing with the fibers of the vine!
The vines are no longer just simple plants; they seem to have grown sinews and bones, closely connected with the veins of the white stone, inseparable from each other!
A perfect, naturally formed "Y"-shaped slingshot was quietly born in Nuwa's hands!
Nuwa opened her eyes in surprise. Looking at the wondrous creation she had never seen before in her hands, her heart was filled with the joy of creation.
She picked up the colorful mushroom again.
She placed the mushroom on the rubber band of the slingshot, mimicking the hunting postures of some wild animals she remembered, and pulled back with all her might!
"Whoosh--!"
The colorful mushroom transformed into a streak of light, tracing a graceful parabola in the air before landing with pinpoint accuracy in the center of the distant battlefield.
"Bang!"
The mushrooms exploded.
There was no loud noise, and no damage was caused.
Instead, a dense, sweet-smelling, multicolored cloud of spores instantly enveloped the unstoppable vanguard of the Youchao Shi clan, who were wreaking havoc everywhere!
Those burly men who had just been fierce and brandishing spiked clubs froze instantly the moment they inhaled the cloud of spores.
Their eyelids drooped uncontrollably, as if weighed down by a thousand-pound boulder.
"Ugh... so sleepy..."
"I... I want to sleep..."
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
One after another, those arrogant and burly men fell to the ground, their weapons scattered everywhere, emitting deafening snoring sounds!
The entire battlefield instantly fell into an eerie, deathly silence.
All the surviving members of the Suiren Shi clan stared in disbelief at this surreal scene before them.
And Nuwa, looking at the small creation in her hands, gave it a lovely name.
"Sleepy Mushroom Slingshot"
This moment.
In the history of the Primordial World human race, the first "magical artifact" created by a player's own hands, rather than being a system drop or a gift from the gods, has been born!
The entire underworld, and all the powerful figures watching the battle, fell silent once again.
They looked at the thin girl on the screen, holding a slingshot, her face showing a mixture of shyness and uncertainty.
The same thought arose in their minds at the same time.
This race...
Their creativity has begun to... spiral out of control!
