Xiao Yu was quite familiar with this skill. Under normal circumstances, it could grant a buff to a single target, but after upgrading to a BOSS skill, it could grant that target all the buffs.
This time, Xiao Yu chose to Fire Slave Warrior Enhancement, feeling it would offer more variety, and then directly advanced the BOSS skill.
System notification: You have learned a new skill, Fire Slave Warrior Enhancement. Your Fire Slave Warrior Enhancement has been upgraded to Fire Zealot Enhancement.
Fire Zealot Enhancement: Enhance a unit with the power of flames, granting it immediate Flame Ward, immunity to fire damage, Fire Will, Fireblade, and Flame Footprints buffs.
After learning the skills, Xiao Yu did not leave immediately. Instead, he began to look at the murals and reliefs on the walls of the Booty Bay chamber.
He had been too eager to obtain the Seed of Elements and then to retrieve the Scourge of the Ocean from the seabed to carefully examine the contents of these murals. Now, having nothing to do and calming down, he suddenly discovered that these murals and reliefs seemed to contain some hidden information that could be uncovered.
Above the main entrance, the mural begins with two humanoid figures, one black and one white, drawn in a very abstract style. The two figures stand back to back, surrounded by the sun, moon, and stars, seemingly representing something sacred.
In the second picture, two people are simultaneously casting spells. The white humanoid figure emits white light, from which many small figures are born. Some have wings, some hold lightning bolts, and some have a moon symbol on their foreheads. Each of them seems to possess a special ability.
The black humanoid then emitted a beam of black light, from which many hideous monsters were born. Some had wings like bats, but their heads were covered with tentacles like octopuses. Some were covered with tentacles all over their bodies, with eyes on the tentacles. Some had more than a dozen mouths full of sharp teeth, but only one eye. Others had round heads and fleshy growths all over their bodies. Each of these monsters was uglier than the last.
The third picture depicts a battle between a ferocious monster and those magical little people. The magical little people unleash lightning, summon the power of wind, starlight, and moonlight, and manipulate mountains and seas.
The grotesque monsters, on the other hand, fight back entirely with their powerful bodies. Images of this appear one after another, showing the magical little people or the grotesque monsters dying in battle, with fewer and fewer surviving.
The last picture shows several living little people sealing away several monsters.
A monster covered in tentacles was sealed underwater. A little man stabbed a sword into the monster and then died.
A monster was sealed within the ice by a precious orb.
A monster was sealed in the desert by a spear.
A monster was sealed beneath a mountain by a warhammer.
As Xiao Yu looked at the murals, he pondered. These murals were not very profound or difficult to understand. After thinking about them carefully, he could guess some of their meanings. Especially when combined with some of Xiao Yu's previous experiences, it was not difficult to identify the identities of the characters in these paintings. Those ferocious monsters were obviously Old Gods. In this case, there should be four Old Gods still alive.
Those little people with strange abilities are probably the gods who exist now, such as the sea god and the moon god, but some of them seem to have died.
What Xiao Yu released was clearly the Old Gods sealed underwater. However, there were still some things he couldn't be sure of. What were the black and white humanoid figures? They were capable of creating gods, so these two were obviously the most powerful beings in the entire game world. Why had he never heard of them before? Or were these two humanoid figures merely embodiments of darkness and light, and not real beings at all?
Xiao Yu stared at the mural, lost in thought, a sense of uncertainty lingering in his mind.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. He was really too stubborn. If he couldn't figure it out in the game, why not just look it up outside the game? There were many secrets and untold stories about the game on the forums. Why didn't he go to the forums and ask if anyone knew about these things? If he could get his hands on those artifacts, wouldn't he be Invincible?
Thinking of this, he immediately quit the game.
To my surprise, as soon as I returned to the login page, I found a huge pile of emails in my inbox, more than a dozen in total.
I opened it and took a look.
Mofeitosi: "Wow, kid, you're pretty good. I'm impressed. When can we get together and discuss a collaboration?"
Esmehalda: "Congratulations! To be honest, you're increasingly surprising me. I feel like I'm falling behind. Remember to call me next time something like this happens. As a member of the Kirin Tor Council, I still have some influence. Bringing some people over to help shouldn't be a problem."
Moonstalker: "Is that Azathoth you? I remember you told me before that you were going to train Water Elemental, I didn't expect you to be so powerful so quickly. I really envy you rich kids. Remember to call me if you need any business in the future. I've already advanced to the hero template, although I'm still just a beginner hero."
Fester: "Boss, you're amazing! It's unbelievable! Congratulations on becoming famous! Also, I have an invitation, you absolutely must attend. It's a grand gathering of the Elemental Plane, apparently to encourage everyone to work together to compete for the strongest BOSS. I think you could at least be a founding member or something. The gathering website is Xiao Yuehua's meeting room, tonight at nine o'clock, remember to come!"
Liu Xiaoyu: My god, Brother Xiao, are you really that amazing? Our whole guild can't compare to you. I'm even thinking of leaving the guild to join you. By the way, do you have a girlfriend? Maybe I could reluctantly settle for you.
Liu Fei: Boss, why didn't you call me when you went to the Water Elemental Plane? Seriously, you're so awesome, I don't even want to say anything. By the way, I'm having a terrible time in the Fire Elemental Plane, only reaching the intermediate BOSS level. Otherwise, I would have joined your group too.
After reading these emails, Xiao Yu was somewhat bewildered. How did he suddenly receive so many emails, and they all seemed to know everything he had been doing lately? Who leaked them?
I checked my friends list and saw that Mephisto was online, so I sent him a message.
Xiao Yu: Old Mo, if you don't tell me now, what's going on?
Mephisto: You don't know yet? Hurry up and go to the official forum video section. The video section is in an uproar, let me tell you. You're furious now, you know? You've even stolen the limelight from the Dynamic Angels. But you better watch out, that artifact is so powerful, someone might kidnap you for it.
Xiao Yu thought to himself, "So that's how it is. It seems someone posted the video of my battle with Naga on the forum. But it's only been a short while." He hurriedly opened the game forum, and he had to admit that he was a little excited. He had become a celebrity without even realizing it.
He was so focused on showing off that he forgot to turn on the camera app. He was somewhat regretful after the battle, but he never expected to be filmed by someone else. He doesn't know how he looks in the video.
As I was thinking this, the video section of the game forum appeared before my eyes.
He was startled when he saw a close-up photo of himself on the homepage of the video section.
PS: Two chapters today. My eyes are feeling a bit better; the doctor said it's just from being tired. I should be able to update three chapters tomorrow.
