[Lion Clan Inherited Sacrificial Offering Wooden Idol (Good)]
[Description: The wooden sculpture that the high priest “Kemuma”, of the lion clan’s Temple of Supreme Legacy, personally prayed to instill the “Lion God’s” divine power into. Because of the material, the sculpture could not carry a trace of the “Lion God’s” divine power, so it could only hide the face of the deity to ensure that the sculpture would not break.]
[Limitations: Only the prayers of the lion clan can awaken the divine power in the sacrificial offering wooden idol. Other races need to abandon their racial identity and join the lion clan of their own volition under the witness of the sacrificial offering idol before they can use it.]
[Functions:
[Divine Power – Absorption: Hold a ritual to sacrifice more than 100 creatures from other races in a single encounter to absorb the life force of the creatures and transform them into a little bit of the lion clan’s divinity (unofficial)]
[Divine Power – Empowerment: Utilize a little of the divinity stored in the idol to temporarily increase the strength of the user for a duration of 24h]
[Divine Power – Blessing: Breaking the idol at the shelter core will permanently add a Level 1 blessing of the Lion God]
[Evolutionary Food: The wooden statue that stores the power of the Lion God gives off a deadly attraction to wasteland creatures that cannot be ignored. If the divine sculpture is swallowed, there is a certain probability that the wasteland creature can absorb the divinity, have its strength and physique enhanced, and have a certain chance of using the divine powers to awaken the strength hidden within its bloodline (Probability: 0.00000001%)]
[Resale price: High (300 Disaster Points)]
“Will you resell it?”
By the time Su Mo had finished slowly reading through the functions, the game panel’s resale notification popped out eagerly, as if it desperately needed this.
“I choose ‘No’!” Su Mo shook his head without hesitation. The thought turned into action, and he gently tapped the ‘No’ option.
A light shone and the options disappeared. Only the property panel was left hanging beside the statue.
“It’s only 300 disaster points. Since I already have the workbench, it doesn’t make much sense. I need 800 points to upgrade the storage space again. These 300 points are just a drop in the ocean. It’d be better to use the idol to increase the shelter’s Disaster Resistance.”
Su Mo saw the problem with the choices for the idol very clearly.
However, at the same time, the usage methods that popped out of the game panel made Su Mo’s head ache.
If he wanted to use this transcendent idol’s functions—such as Absorption or Empowerment—he had to abandon his human status first and join the lion clan before he could use it.
Moreover, he had to get the sacrificial offering to be the witness; meaning that he had to join the lion clan under the Lioness’s watchful gaze.
Su Mo did not even want to think about it and immediately ruled out such harsh conditions.
Su Mo had previously played a blatant trick on the lion clan and led the kobolds on a wild goose chase toward the lion clan’s territory. By the time the kobolds found it, even if the lion clan had tried to explain that it was not them, the kobolds would not have believed them either, but what could be done about that?
A blatant trick was called a blatant trick exactly because it was a blatant scheme, but there was nothing one could do about it!
When the kobolds, who had suffered a heavy loss, fought the lion clan, whose strength could not be compared to theirs, they would have had to fight with all their might and destroy the lion clan in order to recoup their losses.
The lion clan would naturally not sit around waiting for death, so there was bound to have been a fierce battle between the two!
When that time came, the lion clan, already in a precarious situation, would only gradually dwindle way in exile and before becoming extinct.
Joining the lion clan now would be equivalent to joining the… in 1949.
“It seems like the only function left for this statue is…”
Su Mo smiled and raised his head to glance at the three burning gazes beside him, before looking at the statue in his hands, and then…
Without a second thought, he twisted off the wooden statue’s head.
Suddenly, a few rays of green light gushed from the neck of the twisted lion sculpture into the shelter.
The gap was only about four centimeters wide in diameter, but as more and more green light was emitted, the previous light did not disappear.
Slowly, the green light became more and more saturated and, when it was about to solidify into physical white light, an illusory lion person appeared in the shelter.
The lion person’s gaze was a little blank as it looked soullessly at the shelter facilities surrounding it. Then it evaluated Su Mo, who was sitting on the bed, and…
The three little ones who were almost drooling…
As the lion person uttered a string of incomprehensible incantations that sounded like whispers, but also like praises, blue dots spilled out from the lion person’s body and fell on the shelter’s floor, ceiling, walls…
As the spell progressed, Su Mo suddenly noticed that there was a glimmer of spirit on the originally sluggish lion person’s face, and there also seemed to be divine light in its eyes.
The lion person’s spell incantation became faster and faster. It felt like the Great Compassion Mantra, which made those listening to it feel as though their heads were splitting!
The solid light slowly began changing shape…
In the next second, the lion person shattered with a crash. The thick blue torrent of light began to wash over the entire shelter, and complex runes were engraved onto the shelter walls.
Even special effects could not have produced something as shocking as this miraculous scene right now!
A few seconds later, as the blue light vanished, the runes gradually hid themselves as well, and the whole shelter turned peaceful again.
Su Mo looked around. The shelter seemed to have gotten a little something, and yet also seemed to not have changed at all.
A melodious prompt sounded in the shelter as the visions faded.
[Record]: Congratulations to the player “Su Mo” on achieving Level 1 of the Lion Clan’s Blessing on his primary shelter—Underground Shelter.
[Record]: For more information, please activate the game panel to examine the shelter’s properties.
Two prompts sounded one after the other, proving that the miraculous scene from just now was not fake and had actually happened!
The idol, that originally emitted light, had now lost all of it and had become a dead object that attracted the three little ones.
He broke off the idol’s two arms and threw one each to Big Spark and Little Spark.
He passed the rest of the object over to Oreo.
Whoosh!
Big Spark and Little Spark pecked at the arms like crazy while Oreo swallowed it whole without even stopping to chew.
Then…
Big Spark and Little Spark’s bodies visibly started growing, and their originally dull chicken wings also started emitting flashes of green light.
Only when their sizes had increased by about a third did it stop.
“Woof… woo!” Seeing the two’s changes, Su Mo was surprised, and Oreo also stared wide-eyed at the sight.
Turning his head to observe the unchanged Oreo, Su Mo was stunned too.
“Huh, you haven’t changed even a little bit. The two of them changed after eating just a little bit; how could you not have changed even an inch!
“Hurry, change for me!”
Su Mo ruffled Oreo’s doggy head. Seeing Oreo’s ferocious expression, Su Mo laughed out loud.
“The probability of transformation from the idol was too low. Big Spark and Little Spark did not awaken any bloodline either. As for Oreo… there was no reaction at all.
“It seems like the idol’s level was too low and could not trigger the bloodline in Oreo’s body!”
After thinking about it, Su Mo did not worry about having or not having it. It was without a doubt a blessing if it was awakened, but it was just as fine if it had not awakened either. The day for awakening would come when he got his hands on higher-level idols in the future.
“Now, let’s see just what the lion clan’s blessing is. It’s my first time using this kind of magical creation—I really am a little curious.”
Gathering his thoughts, Su Mo summoned the game panel and tapped straight into Underground Shelter’s properties.
