Since there were no lifestones in the frogmen village this time, and there were no NPCs who could help with resurrection, the players could only rely on the clerics who had learned resurrection spells.
And if the corpses were too broken that resurrection spells couldn't be cast (resurrection spells required the corpses to be at least 50% dead), then they could only wait three days and resurrect from the lifestone.
In fact, almost every player had died before, but most of them had been resurrected by other clerics, or directly resurrected from Leah's side during the attack on the Rotten Bones Church. There were very few players who had actually experienced three days of resurrection.
And these players who had tried the three-day resurrection rule were undoubtedly the ones who didn't want to experience it again.
After all, although the players' souls were temporarily kept in Xi Wei's Divine Kingdom, as a god, Xi Wei naturally had his own privacy rights. He couldn't just let the souls of his believers wander around in his Divine Kingdom, so he had already isolated a small area in his Divine Kingdom as a place for his believers to store their souls while they waited for their resurrection.
The problem was that the souls of his believers still retained their consciousness, and Xi Wei didn't have the power of time. So the three-day resurrection rule was equivalent to locking his believers in a small black room for three days, and they wouldn't even be able to move their limbs or even their eyeballs. Who would know how painful it was …
If not for their staunch faith in the God of Games, and their mental fortitude being stronger than earthlings, some of the players would have gone insane a long time ago.
Although Xi Wei knew of this problem and was already preparing to solve it, the current situation was still not optimistic.
Xi Wei, who was in his Divine Kingdom, was in a difficult position.
If he hadn't noticed that something was wrong with the frogmen village, and hadn't heard the conversation between Leah and the Great Elder, he would have gotten a lifestone from the village without a second thought and let his believers develop it into a player settlement. It would be a nice sightseeing spot in the future …
But now that he knew the secret of the frogmen village, Xi Wei felt a little troubled.
Even if the Great Elder of the Frogmen Tribe didn't say it out loud, the meaning behind his words was clear enough. Below the Frogmen Village was most likely the final resting place of the Aquatic Lord from the last Divine War!
Over the past thousand years, the power of faith generated by the frogmen's prayers must have been absorbed by the divine body and the Shard of Divinity. If not for the fact that there were so few frogmen, and the quality of their prayers couldn't compare to that of humans, perhaps a new god would have been born from the Aquatic Lord's corpse.
If Xi Wei stuck a Lifestone in the Frogmen Village, it would be the same as building a disco on top of someone's grave, and inviting the Players to come and dance on top of their graves … It would be strange if the Frogmen didn't flip open their coffins in anger!
"Why don't we set up a resurrection point on Lia's side? This won't do. This time, the other side doesn't have the rookie Shen Bai to nourish me. If I do it like before, I'll definitely lose so much that I won't even have my underwear left … "
"This is such a pain in the ass … even though I don't have any right now!" Xi Wei sighed. "Forget it, I'll try everything I can think of first."
The Players in the mortal realm were completely oblivious to the frustration of their deity. They were actively preparing for battle, and continued to 'explore' the frogmen's home.
But this time, before the enemies could attack, the game system updated the quest.
"Holy shit, there are only 67 enemies this time? There's a bounty list for every enemy! "
"Let me see … Defeating the corresponding enemy will earn you 'Bounty Points', this feels a little like the Revenge Points from last time."
"No, this time the points can not only be used to exchange for items, but the top ten players with total points will also be rewarded!"
"Holy shit, this Black Whip's bounty is super high!"
"They're even opening up the strategic map this time? Don't they have to go around the map themselves?"
"That's not all. Look, it says that the players are represented by green dots, and the red dots are the enemies. They can't even ambush us …"
"I'm begging for a party! Level 22 Shadow Blade, leave the last hit to me, everyone in the party will get a share of the rewards when the rankings are up! "
"Party up, Level 18 Spirit Swordsmen, tanky and sharp, not rangers!"
"What's wrong with rangers! Rangers are eating your wheat cakes! "
Now that Xi Wei had revealed every enemy's weaknesses, the Players who had basically seen the entire map were forming parties and discussing which party to go up against which enemies …
Xi Wei relaxed a little when he saw that the Players' fighting spirit was clearly rising, and hoped that they would have a good fight.
Although the event rewards would cost a lot of divine energy, compared to resurrection, it was a lot cheaper. If luck was on their side, they might even be able to break even.
As for why Xi Wei wanted to do this even though he might suffer a loss, it wasn't because he wanted to protect the frogmen. After all, Xi Wei wasn't a member of an animal protection organization. Even if he wanted to protect them, he wanted to protect Rollie, a creature that could act cute and fight, and could even be used as a mount in ancient times (although the one who used Rollie as a mount died a horrible death), not a bunch of slimy toads …
In fact, he was interested in the Aquatic Lord's corpse, which might be underground.
If he could absorb the Aquatic Lord's divinity shard, his own divinity would improve even further, and he would be able to touch the ceiling of a third-rate god.
Then, even if the Skeleton God found Xi Wei by following the Rotten Bones' divine aura, he should be able to fight it.
Although he was touched by the frogmen's thousand-year-old faith, he still had to accept it … After all, gods needed faith, didn't they?
"Once the players defeat the Society of the Secret Eye, I'll issue a quest for Eleena to pretend to be a god, and tell the frogmen that the god is going to bless this place." Xi Wei thought to himself. "Then I'll build a few houses for them … Hmm, since the beach isn't suitable for building houses, it's reasonable to flip the ground or something, right? Even if we find something strange and the god takes it away, there's nothing strange about it, right? "
As he spoke, Xi Wei got excited. "Or rather, when the thing is flipped over, as long as I'm quick enough, no one will see what I did!"
