The Growth of a God

Chapter 9: Hero Slayer·Xiao Gu (3/3)


The name Little Bone is common, with over ten thousand instances among the Skeletons.

Even if you narrow it down to the fourth generation of Skeletons, there are still hundreds with that name.

But if you mention the title "Hero Slayer," nearly everyone in the Mountain and Sea Realm knows which Little Bone you're talking about.

Hero Slayer·Little Bone, an atypical fourth-generation Skeleton, a Chosen One who has opened a new path on the Ascension Ladder.

However, what truly made Little Bone famous were its various actions in the Game Realm.

With the Immortals promoting various models of brain-machine implants, these special implants, similar to mobile phones, have become widespread throughout the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Whether external or implanted, the emergence of brain-computers has dramatically revolutionized the social structure of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

With the help of brain-computers, the civilization of the Mountain and Sea Realm has advanced rapidly into the era of ultra-long-distance communication.

As long as you're within the coverage area of a signal base station, no matter where you are in the Mountain and Sea Realm, you can communicate with friends on the other side of the world without delay.

Even if you travel to another world, you can indirectly connect with friends from other worlds by logging into the Game Realm.

On this basis, a vast information network, similar to the Internet, naturally came into being.

The overall structure is modeled after the information web of the Burrowing Insect Civilization, but the specifics and implementation incorporate more characteristics of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The most obvious point is that the Information Network of the Mountain and Sea Realm does not restrict the permissions of each participant.

After setting various rules and frameworks in advance, each holder of a brain-computer can build a private network belonging solely to themselves and invite others to join.

As for those official or semi-official public networks?

To ensure that brain-computer holders from every world can access them, they exist by attaching to the Game Realm.

This means that, as long as no one can deceive all the members of Zhiku and the supervision of the Celestial Tao System, there's basically no need to worry about the authenticity and security of information on those public networks.

In this regard, the information network of the Mountain and Sea Realm clearly references the framework of the Civilization Game more.

As a result, the Mountain and Sea People have gradually become accustomed to the presence of the Information Network and started to appreciate its convenience and reliability.

Of course, while enjoying the convenience brought by the Information Network, the Mountain and Sea People have not forgotten why this network was created.

Playing fixed NPC roles in the Game Realm is always a pastime for the Mountain and Sea People in their leisure time.

It is both a responsibility and driven by curiosity.

The vast majority of the Mountain and Sea People will earnestly play their roles and engage in contact and exchange with players from All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

In this aspect, Li Hao has never restricted the actions of the Mountain and Sea People.

You can choose to become the players' companion, or you can choose to become their adversary...

The Mountain and Sea People can even discuss some less harmonious game content with the players, as openness and freedom are the main themes.

Only Little Bone follows a different path from all the other Mountain and Sea People.

It likes to hunt players, and not as a wild monster or BOSS.

No matter how the game content and background of the Game Realm updates and changes.

Little Bone enjoys playing the role of the most ordinary whiteboard villager, and then hunts players in that identity.

Due to the outrageousness and audacity of this behavior, many of the Mountain and Sea People suspected if some Immortal or Lezi God had taken over Little Bone's account.

With the notorious nature of the Immortals or the Lezi Gods' indifferent attitude towards reputation, it's not entirely impossible.

Until finally confirming it was indeed Little Bone hunting players, all the Mountain and Sea People fell silent.

The title "Hero Slayer" also became Little Bone's nickname at this time.

.........................................................

Mountain and Sea Realm, City of Bewilderment.

This is an inland city inhabited only by Skeletons.

Given the desolation of this place, if not for the White Bone Giant Structure's passenger route reaching here, it might take one or two months to reach the nearest city.

In fact, even with the opened transportation route to the outside world, few Mountain and Sea People come to this resource-poor place.

Among the members of the Hundred Races of Mountains and Seas, probably only the Skeletons can survive here.

"Is there going to be a sandstorm again?"

Slowly crawling out of its tomb.

Little Bone, known to the outside world as the "Hero Slayer," tilted its head, its expression both bewildered and cute.

Perhaps it is because of this cute appearance that Little Bone exerts a powerful allure on certain mountain spirits and ghosts.

Whoosh!

Like a hunting falcon swooping down from the sky.

By the time Little Bone reacted, a pair of blade-like talons had already landed on its shoulder.

"Dororo?"

It was a raptor larger than Little Bone.

Its body bore clear signs of mechanical modification, and its spread wings emitted a constant gleam.

"It'd be nice if you could have some sense of danger."

A magnetic voice issued from Dororo's mouth, and a smile appeared on her neither-human-nor-animal face.

Dororo was a spirit monster, and also the Wind God of this place.

Though not within the category of Innate Gods, she is also a Divine Reserve born from the faith of all beings.

However, like most Lezi Gods, Dororo does not pursue ascension but enjoys the new experiences brought by the advanced technologies of the Mountain and Sea Civilization.

For this reason, Dororo even underwent partial mechanization of her body.

"With you here, I'm not afraid."

Stroking Dororo's steel-forged feathers, Little Bone said with a smile.

"Hmph! I really wonder how you'd live without me."

With a hint of reproach, Dororo's body began to shrink rapidly, soon becoming small enough to stand on Little Bone's shoulder.

"The Prophet has given us a task, it seems we'll be heading to another world soon."

When Dororo said this, the confusion on Little Bone's face instantly turned into excitement.

"The Prophet has finally allowed us to go out?"

"That's great! I can finally interact with those beings from the outside world!"

Stretching out her wing to tap the back of Little Bone's head, Dororo emphasized in a disgruntled tone.

"We're going to the Divine Fall Realm this time, and the responsibility is very important."

"You better not mess up like before; otherwise, I reckon we'll be grounded by the Prophet again once we return."
