Dragons!
They were all dragons. Giant Dragons, Wyverns, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptors, Lesser Divine Dragons …
When Jiang Qiao had Wind Spirit scout the island, all the creatures he could see fit the physical characteristics of one type of creature: Dragons.
"Have I transmigrated to the Jurassic World or the Monster Hunter World?"
Jiang Qiao shared his vision with Wind Spirit. Wind Spirit had already flown to a height of about 800 meters above the ground of the island.
The area of the island was very large … If Mother Earth did not call it an island, Jiang Qiao would have thought it was a continent.
The center of the island was completely crystallized. Through Wind Spirit's vision, Jiang Qiao could see several towering crystal pillars in the distance. These crystal pillars were probably the most luxuriant ancient trees on the island half a year ago.
The creatures on the island were mainly dragons. Perhaps because the other creatures were too small, Jiang Qiao could not capture them from the sky.
The creatures Jiang Qiao could see were all kinds of dragons. These dragons' levels were ridiculously high. The 10-meter-long Wyvern flying in the sky was Level-49.
The level setting in the Holy Ghost World did not completely explain the combat power of creatures in the real world. It depended on whether the monster was a Common monster, an Elite monster, or a Lord monster.
For example, the Goldbiter Rat that Jiang Qiao had just killed was only a Common monster. The way to determine the monster's level was based on its physical endurance and bloodline inheritance.
A Common monster's HP would not be too high. At the same level, a single player would be able to defeat it.
Above that were Elite monsters and Lord monsters.
When facing an Elite monster, a player's skills and equipment must be top-notch to have a chance of defeating it. In most cases, when facing an Elite monster in the Holy Ghost World, players would have to call their friends to gang up on it.
A Lord monster was a Boss. It required a team of 50 players to defeat it. Soloing it was almost impossible.
There were creatures of all three levels on the island. The highest level that Jiang Qiao had seen so far was a Level-59 Dragon Lord. There was more than one of this Dragon on the island, and it was sold in batches of hundreds.
The human powerhouses in this world were between Level-35 and Level-50, and they were all Elite monsters. Not many of them could reach the Lord tier.
Moreover, leveling up wasn't as easy for ordinary people as it was for players. The old Mage from the Flowing Water Country had lived for over a hundred years. Despite his extraordinary talent, it had taken him his entire life to reach Level 45. It was questionable whether he could even reach Level 46 before he died.
Therefore, whether all the creatures on this island ran out or the natives outside ran in, it was possible that the ecology of this world could be changed.
But what did this have to do with Jiang Qiao?
What Jiang Qiao had to do was to drag the players in to carry bricks and pile them into the Inner World. Then, he would build a big house in the Inner World.
Anyone who dared to stop the players from carrying bricks … would die!
"Can I start now?"
Hai Lan arrived at Jiang Qiao's side through the teleportation gate. The moment she stepped onto the island, it was as if she had stepped into a huge buffet restaurant. Everything was edible as far as the eye could see.
"Eat, if you're not afraid of diarrhea."
Jiang Qiao grabbed a handful of soil and stuffed it into Hai Lan's hand. This handful of soil was quite nutritious for Hai Lan.
"God of the Devourer, are you willing to accept this task?"
The benevolent voice of the Mother Earth sounded at Jiang Qiao's feet. Jiang Qiao looked down and saw a creature that looked like a ginseng spirit standing at Jiang Qiao's feet.
"Aren't you afraid that we'll kill all the creatures on this island?" Jiang Qiao half-squatted down and asked the Mother Earth.
"This is what I want to see. This crystallization curse must be stopped. If it continues to spread, this world … may fall into danger." The Mother Earth said.
"Another apocalyptic event. Alright, I'll accept this task for now. But we need some time to start working."
Jiang Qiao could feel that these crystals had some … energy from outside this world. As for the specific source of the energy, Jiang Qiao wasn't sure, but it definitely didn't belong to the gods of this world.
From this, it could be deduced that the Mother Earth might really have an incurable disease.
After confirming this, Jiang Qiao pulled Hai Lan back to the Tower of Trials through the portal. The Mother Earth took out a sheepskin map and handed it to Jiang Qiao.
"This is a map of the Brandt Islands. The map records the crystallization area in detail."
The Mother Earth's voice was still filled with worry. "I'll do my best to help you … and your Chosen Ones. Please hurry."
"We'll start working tomorrow or the day after."
Jiang Qiao opened the map and glanced at it. The map was dynamic. Three-quarters of the Brandt Islands had completely crystallized.
"We haven't talked about remuneration yet," the Mother Earth reminded Jiang Qiao when she saw that he was about to turn around and leave.
"Remuneration?
Let's talk about it after we start working. "Jiang Qiao waved his hand at the Mother Earth and left the Tower of Trials again.
There were still eleven hours until the end of maintenance. Jiang Qiao had many things to do in these eleven hours.
…
Lionheart City, Resurrection Cathedral.
Jiang Qiao's Freya Prototype stood on the steps, quietly watching Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan.
Not long after the Battle of Divinities ended, the Players handed the Shard of Divinity they obtained from Queen Mey to the Doll Maiden.
Although a small number of naive Players who didn't read the quest guide handed the Shard of Divinity to the old king, it didn't affect Jiang Qiao's next main quest plot deduction.
"What do you plan to do with Freya next?"
Hai Lan stood beside Freya and played with her light gray hair. "Don't tell me you're going to write Freya to death again?"
"There's no point in writing her to death all the time. But once Freya regained her memory and gained her own personality, she definitely wouldn't stay in the Church of Resurrection and be at the mercy of the Order."
Jiang Qiao swatted Hai Lan's little paw away and began to think about what the next part of the main quest would be like.
Jiang Qiao's description of the main quest plot of Holy Spirit was a mixture of truth and falsehood. Only a small part of the plot of the Holy Spirit's original world was fabricated by Jiang Qiao. The plot of the Order being the mastermind and the old king entering the dungeon were all fabricated by Jiang Qiao himself.
But regarding the Otherworld dungeon, the plot of Queen Mey and the Tower of Trials were all real. Jiang Qiao couldn't fabricate it.
And the next main quest plot of Holy Spirit was to teach the Players how to build, such as building houses in the Inner World, building a base on Brandt Island, and defending against the invasion of bad things like the Abyss, the Armageddon Legion, and Chaos.
"Let me think, the next main quest should be to let Freya be hunted by the Order." Jiang Qiao made up his mind.
"And then be captured by the Order?" Hai Lan had already imagined some scenarios that might … make the Players so angry that they would have a heart attack.
"No, no, no, no. It's not fun to capture her. Freya will escape in the end, but before that, her motive to escape is very important." Jiang Qiao said.
"Betray the Order?" Hai Lan was still trying to keep up with Jiang Qiao's thoughts.
"What does the survival of the Order have to do with the Players?!
Freya is a puppet with the ability to think after obtaining the Shard of Divinity. If she's programmed to like and admire the Players, there's only one thing she should do. "Jiang Qiao said with a smile." Freya wants to run to the real world to find the Players. "
That was probably one of the most attractive things about Freya. Imagine a Player's wife in the game traveling thousands of miles to find them in the real world …
"And the Order wants to stop her?"
"Yes. Everything happened during the maintenance period, and the little girl accidentally fell on an island in the Otherworld. The island is filled with all kinds of monsters." Jiang Qiao said as he waved the map that Mother Earth gave him.
Although Hai Lan didn't quite understand the transition, her mind was already picturing a group of Players with faces that said 'Die to me'.
