Chapter 73 Ancient Stone Tablet
Mo Yu's frustration at not being able to catch the wildebeest was soon diluted by the cheerful weather on the grassland.

There were gray wolves ahead to explore the way, and Stef's axe soldiers nearby to guard the way. He didn't worry too much and spent most of his time enjoying the scenery.
At first glance, the sky is high and the clouds are vast, and my mood unconsciously becomes much more cheerful.

At this moment, Mo Yuna's heart, which had been heavy and depressed since he came here, finally felt a little relieved.

After walking forward for about twenty minutes, Stef's axe soldier in front turned around to report.

"My Lord, we found a stone tablet ahead!"

"The stele? Where is it?"

Mo Yu was a little surprised. The stone tablet on the grassland would not appear for no reason. It was most likely some special building, similar to the minotaur statue he had encountered before.

I don’t know what it is this time, but yesterday’s Tauren buff made him miss it so much.

Unfortunately, the duration of the BUFF will end in a few hours.

Following Stef's axe soldier, Mo Yu walked forward for a while and after going around a low bush, he saw the stone tablet they were talking about.

This is an ancient stone stele about one meter long, half of which is hidden in the weeds, making it quite inconspicuous.

However, through the gaps in the weeds, one can see many mysterious magical patterns and obscure and strange words engraved on the monument.

Obviously, this is not an ordinary thing.

By launching the reconnaissance technique, he soon obtained the information on the stone tablet.

[Ancient Stone Tablet]: A stone tablet with special inherited power. After visiting it, there is a chance to obtain an ability. The success rate depends on the matching degree with the ability. Note that the ancient stone tablet can only be visited once, and it will automatically disappear regardless of whether it is successfully obtained or not.

"Hey, this is good stuff!" Mo Yu became excited.

Who wouldn’t like the opportunity to gain a skill for free?

Unfortunately, before visiting the stone tablet, we don't know the specific abilities engraved on it, so there is naturally no way to deliberately select people with matching abilities to increase the success rate.

It all depends on luck!

Mo Yu would naturally take the lead in such a good thing.

He rubbed his hands and walked towards the location of the stone tablet impatiently.

However, something strange happened suddenly.

The soil on the ground suddenly broke open, and two big claws came towards Mo Yu from both sides like scissors!

This happened so suddenly that no one present expected it.

"Lord be careful!"

Stef's axe soldier screamed and rushed forward in panic to try to rescue him.

But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. They were standing aside, and were no match for the giant pliers underground, so they had no time to rescue.

In other words, he can only rely on Mo Yu himself.

To be honest, Mo Yu was so happy that he wanted to go forward and obtain the skills on the stone tablet, and he never expected such a change.

But he has an advantage, which is his quick reaction.

What is professional-level reaction speed? Captain Orange solved in seconds, Sword Lady broke four in one second, Pantheon oh oh oh...

Corresponding to this moment, there were flashing lights, and countless tall towers stood up, surrounding Mo Yu.

The Son of the Tower's talent was quickly triggered, and a solid and heavy defense was already maintained on his body.

You know, Mo Yu's Son of Tower Defense had once suffered a severe beating from Chimera.

The attack power of this underground attacker obviously did not reach that level.

With a clang, the two big pincers clamped Mo Yu from both sides, tightly trapping him in the middle.

But that's about it.

After the pliers clamped down, they were unable to cut this seemingly fragile human off as expected.

It was as if it was not a body of flesh and blood, but was holding an extremely hard stone that could not be shaken at all.

A roar came from underground. The monster knew that it had hit a tough opponent. Seeing that the situation was not good, it wanted to retreat underground.

But how could Mo Yu give it a chance to escape? If it really escapes, then I will have suffered in vain!

A sharp spear flashed like lightning. The attack of the Victory Gun Tower was filled with Mo Yu's anger, and one shot nailed the monster to the ground.

Next to them, the hearts of several Stef's axe soldiers were almost in their throats, but when they saw this scene, they finally calmed down.

After taking a breath, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Is this dead?

They could feel that this monster was as powerful as them, but they didn't expect it to be dealt with so easily.

The Lord is indeed a man of great talent, no wonder Tazhai has become so famous.

Stef's axe soldiers all felt a chill in their hearts, and looked at Mo Yu with a little more respect.

Even though there was a bit of hypocrisy in the past because of the special rewards, now it is respect from the bottom of my heart.

Strength is a quick way to gain respect anywhere.

After a brief moment of daze, Stef's axe soldiers quickly came to their senses and hurried forward to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Lord. We were negligent in not noticing the monster underground. Please punish us."

Mo Yu waved his hands, forcing a smile on his stiff face, "It's not your fault, it's the enemy who is too cunning. But I hope you will remember the lesson this time!"

"Okay, check the surroundings again!"

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

Stef's axemen responded in unison, holding their axes and wishing they could dig three feet into the ground.

Mo Yu didn't care how they checked and turned around to check the attacker.

This is a strange creature that looks like a lobster, but its size is comparable to that of a tiger or leopard. Its shell is green and yellow, and it is very inconspicuous among the weeds.

Next to it, there fell a ball of light, which was the freshly-baked trophy.

[Green Mud Shrimp Summoning Scroll]

【Quality】: Rare

[Effect]: After use, you can summon a third-level rare green mud shrimp to fight for you, and it will disappear after use.

【Introduction】：A shrimp that lives both above and below ground.

“Is this thing really a shrimp?”

Mo Yu was a little surprised. There were really all kinds of creatures in this world, even shrimps that could burrow into the ground had appeared.

This thing lurks underground and is indeed very concealed. Combined with a pair of iron pincers with considerable lethality, it may be able to kill enemies across levels.

Today it can only be considered unlucky as it chose the wrong opponent.

"I wonder what kind of defense tower this scroll can transform into to launch a sneak attack from underground?"

Although he thought about it, Mo Yu was not in a hurry to transform.

I don't have much magic power on hand, and I don't need a tower like this now. I'll upgrade the territory to the second level first.

However, today, the green mud shrimp gave Mo Yu a real wake-up call.

In today's world, humans are not at the top of the food chain. There are too many unknown creatures, both in the sky and underground, that are impossible to guard against.

Even with the defense tower protecting you, you are not completely invincible and your life could be in danger if you are not careful.

In the future, we must be more careful when we are in the wild.

After all, we only have one life. If we lose it, the huge foundation of Tazhai will naturally be lost.

Mo Yu put the carcass of the green sand shrimp into his backpack. He wondered how it tasted different from a lobster.

Take a deep breath and calm yourself down.

He came to the ancient stone tablet and placed his hand on it...
