My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1421
[1411. Chapter 1391: Familiar tactics, the frogman is stunned!]
However, with the help of gestures and some words with clear meanings, the two parties quickly reached an agreement.
“He doesn’t know the formula for the frog gathering either, but if we are willing to give him five of these stones, he can take us underwater to find the frogman who knows the formula.”
It is true that people die for money and birds die for food.
The frogmen, whose brains have been damaged by the Stone of Faith, have completely lost the concept of group or hostility, and are left with only a naked and mindless pursuit of power.
After Luo You finished speaking, he asked with undisguised curiosity:
“What on earth is this, I’ve never seen them so eager before?”
“This group of frogmen settled in this trench because they were attracted by this thing. I just purified it based on the raw materials. You can think of it as a special plant that has not been processed and is extremely pure.”
Su Mo smiled implicitly, and Luo You understood immediately.
There was no need to conceal the source. The two people who went into the water together saw that this stone of faith was cut by Soma from the underwater rock wall. However, without the statue in hand, no one else would be able to purify the inferior stone of faith, and it would be impossible to achieve the current super strong effect.
“Five dollars is five dollars. I can pay first.”
When catching the frogman just now, Su Mo also chiseled off several pieces of low-quality faith stones.
After returning to the cabin and using the Lance statue for purification, the skinny frogman on the ground changed his attitude again.
That flattering look seemed to overflow from his face, making people’s scalps numb.
This is probably what the system said in its evaluation of the Faith Stone: power and faith, freedom and hope, what will you choose?
Using the Faith Stone, no matter what the purpose is, will lead to a road of no return.
Choosing faith and power, although one will gain power far beyond that of his peers, he will also lose the ability to think independently and become a slave to gods and desires.
The sky quickly darkened, and just as the two people on the boat were still worried, there was movement under the water.
Su Mo was seen grabbing a frogman who was at least two meters tall with one hand and quietly floating to the surface.
Unlike the first two frogmen who were captured, they were tied up while they were dizzy and didn’t understand the situation.
The strong frogman had dozens of knife wounds on his body, horizontally, vertically and vertically. It was not difficult to guess how fierce the battle had been.
“Are you okay?”
Luo You nervously leaned towards the side of the boat, looking underwater in the afterglow of the setting sun, searching for Luo Xiang’s figure.
Fortunately, following Su Mo, Lao Zhang and Luo Xiang also floated up quickly.
Luo Xiang looked a little dazed. Although he was being pulled by Lao Zhang, he should not be physically injured.
“I’m a little frightened. I think I need to rest for a while.”
The mask fell off, Su Mo smiled, climbed to the stern and dragged the frogman up.
Anyone who is forced into a dark underwater cave and has to fight hand-to-hand with a frogman who is two meters tall will suffer psychological trauma.
But I have to say that this is indeed the fastest way to grow.
This one battle alone eliminated at least 80% of the negative impact of Luo You’s doting, allowing Luo Xiang to fully realize his responsibilities and the path he should take.
If you can’t get over this psychological shadow, you will be afraid of fighting.
That’s perfect. I can be a deputy peacefully and assist Luo You in carrying out various tasks of analyzing alien cultures.
But if these shocks can be digested quickly, Su Mo’s goal can be achieved.
Tianyuan Territory will have a combat commander who is no less talented than Fenglong.
“This frogman should be the leader of the tribe below. It will be difficult to get him to reveal the secret of the frog gathering, but it doesn’t matter. Let him eat a few more stones before interrogating him.”
“That kind of stone has this effect?”
“It should be possible. If it works, in the future we just need to catch an alien and let him use this stone, and you can quickly learn to interpret their language.”
“That’s great! If this works, it will save a lot of unnecessary steps.”
Luo You was immediately overjoyed. The most difficult part of studying foreign culture is the initial communication.
Once the other party has hostile thoughts towards humans, no matter how much you interrogate them, you won’t get much useful information.
Only because the frogmen, a strange alien race, had no combat power and extremely weak fighting will, and their brains were damaged by the stone of faith, causing them to lose the concept of hostility between humans and aliens, Luo You was able to complete the research on basic language in just over a month.
Otherwise, if it were any other alien race, they would probably only be able to parse the most basic behavioral instructions.
After returning to the cabin and using the statue of Lance to purify the stones, Su Mo was unsure of the dosage since it was his first time using it, so he simply made ten pieces.
But who would have thought that these frogmen had already lost all resistance after eating ordinary faith stones, and even the strong frogman leader surrendered after absorbing only three pieces.
After Lance designated the objects of obedience, the frogman leader completely lost the desire to resist.
“Fuck, what a loss!”
Thinking of paying the skinny frogman five stones at the beginning, Su Mo hurried into the cabin, but he never thought that this guy had guessed that Su Mo would recycle it, and he started absorbing it while going into the water. At this time, there was only one stone of faith left that he had not had time to absorb.
What’s more surprising is that the skinny frogman who absorbed four pieces did not fill up the progress bar controlled by Lance. It is estimated that at least four more pieces will be needed.
“You have quite a big appetite.”
In the surprised look of the thin frogman, Su Mo narrowed his eyes, scaring the former so much that he staggered.
It seems that relying solely on purifying the Faith Stone to fill in the progress and then using Lance’s Faith Control is not the best choice.
The frogman leader lives at the bottom of the mine and should have absorbed the most inferior faith stones, so only three purified faith stones were used to fill the progress.
However, the skinny frogman was at the edge of the vein, and the amount he absorbed was very limited, which meant that his resistance had not been completely reduced, and he needed eight pieces to be enough.
By analogy, the best way should be to use inferior faith stones to damage the brain first, so that it becomes seriously dependent, and then use purified ones to enhance the effect and conquer it from body to mind.
Wait, why does this method sound more and more familiar?
After dinner, Luo You began the interrogation. This time the communication was so smooth that it was a little unbelievable.
The frogman leader not only explained the mixing method of frog gathering in detail, but also cooperated very well in answering many of Luo You’s questions.
“Damn, if things had gone this smoothly before, I’d be able to speak Frogman more fluently than them now!”
Looking at the various information recorded on the paper, Luo You felt as if he had suddenly realized something, but after he stood up, he still cursed angrily and kicked the frogman leader who was intoxicated with the stone of faith.
He used various methods to interrogate them, but the frogmen refused to cooperate.
As a result, Suma conquered the leader of the frogman tribe with just a few rotten stones from the bottom of the water.
I can only say that comparing yourself with others will make you angry.
“Do you regret joining my territory now?”
“When have I ever regretted it?”
Luo You held his neck high and spoke in a somewhat stubborn manner.
However, after saying this, he became a little worried about Luo Xiang, who had become autistic after returning.
The child didn’t come for dinner. He just lay on the bed stupidly, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
When asked, Lao Zhang remained mysterious and said nothing, only saying that he admired Su Mo’s methods very much.
This made Luo You, who liked to control the process and results of everything, feel extremely uncomfortable and powerless.
“It will take at least three or four days to digest. If you want to grow, you have to think for yourself.”
Su Mo was lazy. It was indeed a great pleasure to enjoy the breeze on the river after dinner.
“Don’t worry about it. He’s still young and has plenty of time to grow. We’ll stay here tonight. After you’ve interrogated him, we’ll leave. We have several more places to visit.”
“What about these frogmen, never mind?”
“Let’s keep them here for now. When the conditions are ripe, I’ll send people over to mine that ore. This stuff is really good!”
Su Mo patted the pocket on his waist.
Although the combat effectiveness of this group of frogmen is not very high, their size is quite intimidating due to the influence of the Stone of Faith.
As one of the three great wonders in the alien world, Su Mo is not worried that the frogmen’s combat effectiveness will skyrocket if they continue to absorb more.
Instead of killing them, let other alien races occupy this mineral vein and continue to evolve, and then free up our hands to clean it up again.
It would be better to let them continue to guard this area and act as temporary bodyguards for a period of time.
Luo You naturally had no objection to this decision.
Although the frogman bit off his left leg, after all, the two sides were enemies and it was his carelessness that caused it.
Now that the desired result has been achieved, killing them all would be a sheer waste of time and energy in revenge.
After all, there are so many alien races in this wasteland. Even if you line them up to be killed, you can never kill them all in your lifetime.
It would be better to invest more time in meaningful research, which may lead to the deciphering of a valuable result, which will be enough to help people worth the killing of thousands of people.
For the whole night, Luo You was alertly interrogating the frogman leader.
After dinner, Lao Zhang went back and forth to the bottom of the water several times and mined nearly two tons of faith stone.
This is basically enough for the current use. No matter how many more Su Mo there are, they will not pose enough threat to be wasted on them.
When the survival point becomes prosperous, the Tianyuan territory should also develop a mining team of sufficient scale.
By then, if we can let the fleet cooperate, perhaps we can dig out all the underwater stones of faith at once.
Of course, if the alien race decides to start a war with humans ahead of schedule, Soma will also advance the mining plan accordingly.
By then, a large number of low-priced faith stones will be dumped into the market, and a group of aliens who are obsessed with power will soon be able to become “our own people.”
“Uncle, I have prepared the frog gathering. Do you want to try the effect now?”
Holding a bowl of light red liquid, Luo Jiao walked out of the kitchen.
The formula of Frog Gathering is actually not complicated. The reason why it has not been used by humans in future ruins lies in the most critical point in the formula.
Requires the flesh and blood of frogmen to craft.
Therefore, each tribe cannot let ordinary frogmen know the production method, and only the leader can control and regularly select the unlucky ones to become raw materials.
And where can we find a large amount of blood and flesh to make this now that the frogmen are extinct?
“Well, let’s try it out.”
Su Mo’s eyes lit up and he quickly took out the fishing rod that he had prepared long ago from under the cabin.
It was only about ten minutes after Luo Jiao poured the red liquid into the water that there was already a violent movement underwater.
Almost all the fish in the surrounding one-kilometer water area gathered together and surrounded the guerrilla boat on both sides like crazy.
At this time, the fishing hook is thrown down, and while the hook is still in the air, some crazy fish will bite it regardless of anything.
“If a fisherman saw this, he would be so envious!”
Su Mo was secretly shocked. The effect was much stronger than he had imagined.
But think about it, the frogman is really cruel. In order to get enough food, he actually used the bodies of his companions to make a nest.
It is worthy of being one of the three great wonders!
After sighing again, Su Mo also realized that it would be difficult to replicate the frog gathering on a large scale in a short period of time.
Before something is found to replace the frogmen’s flesh and blood, this entire underwater frogman tribe may not be enough to last the Tianyuan territory for half a month.
If we expand it to the entire New World, even if the frogmen have strong reproductive capabilities, the gap is still huge.
After about half an hour, the effect of the frog gathering began to dissipate.
Even though Su Mo did not fish intentionally, the two large buckets beside him were still filled with big fish.
Seeing this scene, even an experienced fisherman like Lao Zhang could only sigh.
If there had been a fishing net in the situation just now, one net would probably be enough to keep him busy for months.
If you have two or three networks, you won’t have to worry about material consumption for the next year.
“Fortunately, I made the right choice and followed Mr. Ji decisively.”
Old Zhang sighed inwardly.
What happened today alone was enough to offset what he had seen and heard during his time in the wasteland.
It is said that happiness comes from contrast. The thought of Luo Xiang being forced into an underwater cave by Su Mo and engaging in close combat with the frogmen made me feel sad.
Lao Zhang felt that he was really lucky and his sense of happiness exploded.
The next morning, just after daybreak, Luo You finally finished interrogating the frogman leader and compiled a nearly forty-page frogman language dictionary, which was full of various meaningless scribbles.
According to what he said, if it is translated into a dictionary that can be understood by humans, it will have to be expanded to at least three hundred pages.
After reading and studying the dictionary thoroughly, you can basically communicate with the frogmen without any obstacles.
Even Su Mo could only sigh in admiration at his efficiency and ability. He was truly worthy of being the fierce man who attracted thousands of alien races to hunt him down in the future ruins. If an ordinary person came to copy this dictionary, he would probably not be able to understand it even after a whole night.
“You are responsible for guarding under the water.”
Looking at the dictionary, Su Mo read out individual phrases with difficulty, trying to communicate with the frogman leader.
“Without God’s order, no one can contact!”
“Follow the will of God’s messenger.” The frogman leader readily agreed and nodded.
Strangely enough, after using too many low-quality faith stones before, his brain had been overwhelmed by the side effects and he was unable to think for any long time.
But after absorbing three pure faith stones, all the side effects disappeared.
As long as the frequency of absorbing inferior faith stones is not too high, there will be no serious impact.
Hey, why does it look so familiar?
After breakfast, except for the strong frogman who was made into a frog group because of eating too much, the other two frogmen were driven back to the tribe by Sumo and continued to serve as the guardians of the stone of faith.
After taking away the notes and confirming the location, Su Mo quickly locked in the destination of the next stop.
“Eight hundred kilometers away, the Seraph Temple, we are looking for an alchemist named Dawood Meyer!”
