Boom! Lion God Statue Acquired! (Third Update)
There was no one in charge at the Lionman camp, so after the sculpture fell, the camp was in complete chaos.
All the lion-men knelt and bowed as if they were seeing their ancestors, the sound of kowtowing never ceasing.
Su Mo took out his binoculars and looked at the lion-man holding the wooden sculpture.
In his hands, the wooden sculpture still emitted a faint blue light, and even in broad daylight, the wondrous nature of this light could be clearly seen.
The wooden lion-man sculpture is lifelike from bottom to top.
The robe, covered in intricate patterns, possesses a unique beauty; it's a pity, however, that the wooden sculpture's head lacks any facial features.
The lion-man's face was blank.
It seems incredible at first glance, but this faceless lion-man sculpture is worshipped by many lion-men.
The ceremony is still ongoing.
The lion-man sculptures were passed around quickly from left to right, and each lion-man who received a sculpture was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.
Su Mo waited patiently until the last lion-man finished passing the offering and it was handed to the powerful lion-man in the center, at which point the sacrifice was complete.
The lion-man squad, which had been huddled together, suddenly scattered.
Under the guidance of the previous lion-man, they began to move in an orderly manner to their respective positions.
"Hey, keep coming this way, come quick!"
Caught in the gap between the giant trees, watching the Lion Man Warrior walk behind him, Su Mo's heart skipped a beat.
The lack of strict discipline meant that the Lion Man Warrior didn't know how to handle the sculpture, so they simply opened the door of the large house at the back of the camp and went inside.
After three to five seconds, the Lion Man Warrior stepped out again, but the shadow of the sculpture was no longer in his hand.
"An opportunity! We must get this before the Female Lion Man returns, otherwise it might be blown to pieces once I unleash my bomb!"
As the Lion Man Warrior walked away, Su Mo could no longer contain his inner turmoil and waved his hand in the air.
A shovel with an ancient design, yet possessing a powerful and beautiful aesthetic, appeared in Su Mo's hands.
Su Mo was the only finely crafted iron shovel among all the tools.
Reaching the back of the large house, and seeing the massive pile of logs, Su Mo hardened his heart and began digging directly into the ground in front of the logs! With its advanced properties of sharpness, ease of use, and reduced resistance after a critical hit, Su Mo dug until he was drenched in sweat.
Gradually, a deep pit, large enough for half a person to pass through, formed beneath the giant tree.
Along the deep pit, Su Mo sweated profusely and dug frantically forward. With each shovelful, Su Mo's immense strength sent mud flying everywhere.
Using the last gap in the Storage Space, Su Mo filled the excavated soil into it and then mentally manipulated it to throw it aside.
In less than ten minutes, Su Mo had managed to dig a passage beneath the giant tree that led directly to the back of the house.
"Great! This house is right next to the giant tree, which blocks the view and creates a natural opportunity for me!"
After slowly digging through and seeing that there were no lion-men on either side, Su Mo could no longer contain his joy. He bent down and crept directly to the back of the house.
"Oreo, is anyone there?" Su Mo asked softly.
Seeing Oreo cautiously shake his head, Su Mo took two deep breaths and took out the iron axe he had made earlier from his spatial storage.
It is also the iron axe that witnessed Su Mo's formal entry into the world of martial arts.
It has an instant-break effect; after slowly making a few chopping motions, the axe tip suddenly sinks in, and a piece of wood is scooped out.
Fearing that too much destruction would cause the house to collapse, Su Mo carefully dug a passage that people could crawl through on their stomachs.
Through the passageway, one can see the interior furnishings and structure.
The wooden house looks unremarkable from the outside, but it has a rather luxurious feel inside.
On the right side of the room hung heads of various species of different sizes, and in the middle, Su Mo even saw several human heads.
"They even prey on children! Damn alien monsters!"
Upon seeing the child's skull in the upper right corner, Su Mo's hands clenched so tightly they cracked.
Like the kobolds, these lion-men were clearly not benevolent; they were only willing to cooperate because they were intimidated by Su Mo's power.
Beneath the head trophy was a Wooden Bed covered with thatch, without a blanket, only scattered straw.
In front of the Wooden Bed was a huge wooden table with scattered pieces of parchment on it.
In the middle of the wooden house, there was also a small table with blood-soaked meat and several cups containing unknown contents placed in front of it.
"I didn't see the wooden sculpture; it must have been placed on the central table by the Lion Man Warrior."
Because of the limited view, not much could be seen. Su Mo signaled Oreo to be on guard, lay down, and with a push of his hands, slid into the house.
[Record]: Player Su Mo has entered the core sanctuary of the "Lionmen" race. You have three options to choose from: [Record]: First, choose to destroy the Lionmen sanctuary, obtain the damaged Shelter Core, and steal a bit of Lionmen divinity.
[Record]: Second, steal the lion-man idol and abandon the destruction of the shelter. If this is exposed, you will be permanently hunted down by the lion-man race. [Record]: Third, kill the owner of the lion-man shelter, place the complete Shelter Core, merge the lion-man shelter, and obtain the extraordinary lion-man shelter. The abrupt Game Panel notification sound suddenly rang out as Su Mo climbed into the wooden house.
Su Mo, who was still lying on the ground, was startled.
Silently focusing his attention, the Game Panel appeared. Looking at the three choices, Su Mo closed the panel without hesitation and stood in the room, looking around.
The wooden lion sculpture was prominently displayed on the small table in the middle.
Crouching down, avoiding the window, Su Mo slowly moved closer and began to focus his attention on examining the attributes of the lion-man statue.
[Lion God (Exquisite, Sacrificial Statue)]
[Description]: After winning a battle against more than 300 other races, the Lionmen forces were given a second chance to open the portal. In the resource selection, the Lionmen elder chose to exchange 300 lives for the Ancestral God - Lion God Statue in order to gain comprehensive buffs in combat, life, disaster resistance, etc. It is currently in a sacrificial state and has not yet been activated.
[Special Ability]: 1. Sacrifice: After obtaining a statue, you will gain one point of Lionman Divinity for every one hundred foreign enemies you sacrifice.
2. Strength: After activating the idol, each point of divinity consumed will grant a fixed strength bonus (lasting 24 hours).
3. Gale's Protection: Refuges with Lion God Statue will always receive the level 1 Extraordinary Lion God's Blessing.
Review: A chance encounter in another world, where magic reigns supreme!
"Three abilities, Lion God's Blessing, so this is how Ma Gu's Refuge Extraordinary Characteristics were obtained!" Looking at the three attributes, Su Mo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The lion-man statue, which looked quite mysterious, certainly did not disappoint.
Of the three attributes, the two remaining ones, apart from the first one, are extremely useful.
The thought of the shelter soon receiving a second blessing filled Su Mo with excitement. He grabbed the wooden sculpture and put it into his Storage Space.
As for the Game Panel's warning that the lion-man would relentlessly pursue him after discovering him, Su Mo didn't take it to heart at all.
As long as they are of a different race, they will always be enemies unless there is absolute power to suppress them.
"According to the system's description, it seems that the lion-men's combat is indeed different from that of humans. Humans have a chance to obtain treasure chest rewards simply by defeating other races, while other races can open rifts and summon their people by winning racial wars."
"It is still unknown whether the two are better or worse, but if we don't find a way to get rid of the lion-men and kobolds, they will definitely become a disaster if their numbers increase!"
Walking to the table, Su Mo took down all the parchment, looked at the strange writing and drawings on it, and simply stuffed them all into the gaps in his Storage Space.
After rummaging through the storage compartment under the table and the cardboard box under the bed, Su Mo saw something he had been eyeing before—the staff in the Female Lion Man's hand!
"The kobolds use gunpowder to increase the power of their fireballs; I wonder how the lion-man uses his staff."
Focusing his attention, Su Mo tried to call upon the system to check his attributes, but like the kobold's staff, there was no response.
Left with no other choice, Su Mo could only tuck it into his bosom and crouch back.
They had already obtained everything of value in the entire Lionman Sanctuary; the only remaining valuable item was probably the house itself.
With a thought, a 1-pound Explosive Pack appeared in Su Mo's hand. He placed it in the center of the room and attached a 2-minute fuse.
Pulling on the fuse, Su Mo retreated rapidly until he crawled out of the wooden house and the hole in the giant tree before he felt at ease.
The user invokes the system, spending 5 Survival Points to create a lighter and light the fuse.
Sizzle, sizzle.
The fuse began to burn rapidly, and piece by piece of the fuse, like a death waltz, gradually traveled through the holes under the giant tree toward the cabin.
Two thumps triggered the electric shoe assist.
Carrying the Oreo, Su Mo made no attempt to hide his actions and ran wildly backward.
In the wilderness, a gentle breeze blew, and as soon as two minutes were up, the lion-man's sanctuary was transformed into a blazing fireball.
[Record]: Congratulations to player "Su Mo" for destroying the core sanctuary of the "Lionman" race and gaining 500 Disaster Points.
[Record]: Congratulations to player "Su Mo" for destroying the core sanctuary of the "Lionman" race and obtaining Lionman Divinity*1.
Feeling the vibrations behind him caused by the shockwave, and hearing the prompts on the Game Panel, Su Mo could no longer contain his excitement and burst into laughter.
