There was nothing to hesitate about. He had no choice but to change the mission. Did he really want to slaughter all of the demigod's believers right under his nose?
Being audacious was one thing, but courting death was another.
With a thought, he called out the mission screen projected by the divine artifact platform outside the plane. He wanted to see if there were any missions nearby that were suitable for him.
No matter if it was the other four Frogman Tribes or the Naga Tribe, there was no way he could do them. He still had to kill a powerful sea monster to complete one of the four quests he had received. He decided to look around and see if there were any quests he could do along the way.
The mission panel that was originally filled with missions had basically turned gray, which meant that they had been received and could no longer be done.
He blocked the gray screen first. The mission panel that was filled with missions suddenly became clear. There were only a few missions left, and there were a few that could be done nearby. However …
A bloody mission with 100 points and three difficult missions with more than 95 points with red names blinded him.
He passed on the 100-point mission. This mission was very simple. Kill the Naga demigod …
The other three missions were all 95 points and above. From lowest to highest, they were 95 points, 97 points, and 99 points respectively.
The 95-point mission was to destroy the totem pole of the Naga tribe in the center of the Blackwater Swamp, which was the altar that represented the Naga demigod.
What was the difference between this and slapping the Naga demigod's face, even if …
"Hmm?"
Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw that there was another page after the mission. He swiped to take a look. It was a notification.
"After observation, the Naga demigod was injured for unknown reasons decades ago. Every year, he would enter a deep sleep half of the time. Every winter, he would habitually enter a deep sleep."
"That's not very useful!"
Lin Xiao ignored this for the time being. It was not as if he would not wake up from his deep sleep. If he went into a deep sleep and sensed that his believers were about to die, he would definitely wake up in rage. Moreover, the battlefield was in this swamp. If he woke up at a critical moment in the battle, wouldn't that be a trap?
Lin Xiao did not dare to take the risk. After all, if something went wrong, it would basically be game over.
The second 97-point mission was within Lin Xiao's expectations. It was to destroy the city of the Mermaid Empire 40 nautical miles east of the Blackwater Swamp — Yuyuan.
This mission also had a hint:
"According to our observations, every spring, Jade Abyss City will send out a large number of envoys to the various tribes in the surrounding seas to collect tributes and taxes. This is the time when Jade Abyss City is at its weakest."
It was similarly useless. No matter how many troops Jade Abyss City sent out, the defenses of the city would not be weak. It was definitely not something that he could breach with his current strength. Unless he was ten times stronger, perhaps he would dare to try.
The third mission with 99 points was second only to the Slaughter the Demigod mission with 100 points. The interface showed that this mission's objective was to exterminate a divinity sea beast in an oceanic trench more than 50 kilometers northeast of Jade Abyss City.
The so-called divinity sea beasts were powerful sea beasts that had condensed divinity due to the faith of certain races over a long period of time.
Many gods were not humans in their original form. Instead, they were powerful creatures that were worshipped by intelligent creatures for various reasons. Slowly, they accumulated faith and condensed Divine Power. After a long period of accumulation, they finally condensed Divine Power and even had the possibility of igniting the Divine Fire to become a true god.
These wild gods were generally evil gods that had Divine Titles such as Fear, Destruction, Slaughter, Death, and so on. After all, these creatures did not consciously collect faith in the beginning. Most of them were too powerful, causing people to fear them and giving birth to abnormal beliefs to become gods.
It was just like how huge sea beasts could easily make the fishermen by the sea believe in them. Even in ancient China, before the fishermen by the sea went out to sea, they would burn a stick of incense to the Dragon King, the Sea God, Mazu, and so on to bless them. This was the most primitive belief.
When these creatures had accumulated enough faith and condensed divinity, they would become divine creatures. Just like Lin Xiao, they did not have intelligence and could not accumulate faith and Divine Power. Whether they could become gods depended purely on luck. Therefore, the number of such gods was relatively small.
The divinity sea beast in this mission obviously relied on this method to become a divine creature. It did not have intelligence, but its combat power was relatively high. Ordinary Demigods, who were also intelligent creatures, might not necessarily be able to defeat this divinity sea beast on its home ground.
Although this mission was only rated 99 points and not 100 points, the difficulty was probably not lower than the Slaughter the Demigod mission.
Just like the previous two missions, this mission also had a prompt:
"According to observation, this divinity sea beast is a deep-sea giant octopus. Its tentacles are up to 630 meters long. It resides in the Rift Abyss and likes to eat sea sharks, sea whales, and other large creatures!"
"I'll throw it, 630 meters."
This size immediately made him give up the idea. He obediently looked at the other two missions.
But after looking at the missions again, he simply closed the panel and did not choose any of them.
The difficulty was too high. There was no way he could do it.
If all the murlocs under his command became Naga, and he had tens of thousands of Naga in his hands, he would have the courage to give it a try. He would even have the courage to touch the Naga Demigod.
Although the Demigod was powerful, it was not without weaknesses. As long as he struck first, he would gain the upper hand. The source of the Naga Demigod's faith was the frogmen and Naga tribes in the Blackwater Swamp at the fastest speed. The Naga Demigod's power would be greatly weakened in an instant. Moreover, without the replenishment of faith, the Demigod would become weaker and weaker. In the end, its Divine Power would not be enough to maintain its priesthood. From then on, it would fall from a Demigod to a powerful divine creature and would no longer be a Demigod.
The power of a divine creature compared to a Demigod …
As he thought about it, a strange expression suddenly appeared on Lin Xiao's face. He tilted his head and looked at the sky. His expression kept changing back and forth. For a moment, he froze and no one knew what he was thinking.
At that moment, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
If he could think of a way to kill all the Naga Demigod's believers and wait for the Naga Demigod to slowly weaken until it finally fell from a Demigod to a divine creature, could he use the human wave tactic to drown it?
This idea was very feasible. A Demigod could not be killed by the human wave tactic, but a divine creature could. As long as he could kill all the Naga Demigod's believers, this operation could be realized.
Of course, it was also very dangerous. At the same time, it was a big problem to kill all the Naga Demigod's believers without alerting them.
He already had a rough idea in his mind, but he did not know if it would work.
His idea was very simple. He would seek refuge in the Mermaid Empire's Yuyuan City. After stabilizing, he would think of a way to slowly provoke the Naga tribes and cause a conflict between the two forces. He would then use the power of Yuyuan City to attack the Blackwater Swamp.
Lin Xiao did not believe that there was no filth between the Mermaid Empire and the Blackwater Swamp. Yuyuan City's position just happened to be opposite the Blackwater Swamp. This was obviously used to contain the Blackwater Swamp.
