Divine magic is the key for priests to improve their own strength.

It does not limit level matching, that is, every priest can master divine arts at higher levels. In theory, a first-level priest can master ninth-level divine arts.

However, in practice, priests are often limited by their talents and can only learn higher-level magic in advance.

For example, level one Thomas can master level two fire boxing.

But it was very difficult for him to learn the third-level magic. Even if he forced himself to learn it, he could only use it once a day.

But now Thomas has been promoted to the fourth-level priest and can learn the fifth-level magic.

However, the Fire Fist Tribe was unable to provide it and could only let him continue to use the second-level magic to fight.

This resulted in a serious lag in combat power, leaving Thomas, a fourth-level priest, extremely frustrated.

"It's an attack magic!"

Thomas came closer, and his voice of surprise could hardly be suppressed, "Level 4 Wind Sand Technique, although it is not a magical magic that can attack a single target, and it may not even be as powerful as Fire Fist Technique against a single enemy, but it... can cover ten meters.

Left and right, continuous damage, it is definitely a weapon in tribal wars!"

Thomas' desire for advanced magic is no less than that of a person in the desert who is short of water.

Especially as one's level gets higher, the desire for this kind of advanced magic also increases simultaneously.

But he also understood that divine magic was the key to a tribe's success.

Just like the Fire Fist tribe, it took root because the first generation of priests acquired the Fire Fist technique.

If he wanted to obtain new magical powers, he had almost no choice but to plunder other tribes.

However, who would have thought that such an important magical skill would be delivered all the way by a group of snow bandits!

Moreover, the magic spell sent was not a low-level magic spell, but its level reached level four, which happened to match Thomas' level.

"That's great. With this magical skill, Priest Thomas's strength will definitely increase greatly."

Sumo smiled and nodded.

In fact, it is not impossible to use survival points to forcibly create attack magic, but the cost performance is really too low, far less than the gain brought by experience magic.

And the most critical point is that no matter how many magical spells he creates now, he will eventually be unable to take them out for use.

This makes it even more difficult for Soma to spend money, especially since the cost of creating things out of thin air can easily reach hundreds or even thousands.

"What is this bag?"

Somo asked, pointing to the bag in Thomas' other hand.

"It's... a divine mine!"

Thomas originally wanted to let it slip, but when the words came to his lips, he forcibly took them back.

He had known a long time ago that Sumo wanted to obtain magical talents, but the Fire Fist tribe had never been able to provide divine minerals.

Unexpectedly, this time both people’s needs were met. The snowman really came to the right place!

"Show it to me quickly."

Somo looked happy.

It seems that this should be the 200g of divine ore rewarded by the Road to the Gods.

He didn't expect to be rewarded in this way, which saved him and Thomas from explaining the source.

However, when Thomas handed over the bag, Sumo suddenly felt something was wrong.

Two hundred grams, is it that heavy?

It feels like starting with at least one pound.

Not to say heavy, but definitely not the weight it should be at 200 grams.

Is the weight of the sacred mine different from the weight of other things?

The moment he came up with this idea, Sumo rejected it. If the weight measurement method was different, there would be no need to use weight to record it, and other more unique units should be used.

Untying the bag's vent, Sumo looked at it by the light of the torch.

There are four gray-white stones inside, which look ordinary and nothing special.

"Is this a sacred mine? Why are there so many of them? It seems like they weigh a pound, and the color and shape seem a little off."

"ah?"

Thomas was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

There were three priests among the incoming snow bandits. The first one they encountered was a sneak attack that killed the strongest one.

When the other two priests reacted, another one was killed by Thomas.

The last one, for fear that the other party might have some back-ups, Thomas didn't dare to be careless, and controlled all of them and blasted him to death.

The process was indeed enjoyable, but it led to a very embarrassing situation.

All the people who are qualified to use the divine mine are gone. The remaining ordinary people say that this thing is a divine mine, but they don't know whether it is true or not.

After thinking about it, Thomas simply pulled out the snow bandit who had spoken before.

"I promise, I promise this is a divine mine!"

The three priests were all reduced to rubble in a matter of seconds, and all the survivors of the secret killing team were so frightened that they peed.

It is understandable that Rudolph and Hyde, two first-level priests, cannot defeat the second-level priests of the Fire Fist tribe.

But Duan Tianrong is a third-level high priest. Looking at the entire No. 37 Crack, he is not an unknown person.

How...why was he instantly killed by the second-level priest?

"How do you prove it?" Thomas asked.

This time the snow bandit who was stopped was confused.

How could he, an ordinary person, be qualified to know how to prove the divine mine?

Fortunately, Sumo remembered in time, whether it is true or false, isn't there a system that can identify it?

Green light shoots out, bringing back a simple data panel.

[First-class divine ore (inferior quality)]

[Description]: Ore containing special energy, the energy in the ore can be utilized through special methods.

[Weight]: 609g

[Note]: It is a special product and can only be used in the current environment. It will become invalid if taken out.

“It’s really a magical mine!”

Sumo was completely shocked.

Six hundred grams of divine ore has already met one-fifth of the requirements for the talent ritual.

Wasn't it the promised two hundred grams? Why did the reward triple? Is it because three priests came?

Sumo thought for a while, but without any clue, he simply ordered Huang Xiangyu to take the prisoner back to the tribe and let Thomas conduct strict interrogation.

From the mouths of these snow bandits, no matter how hard it is, you can still get some useful information.

He planned to go back to the Spirit Island to have a look. It would make sense if the snow bandit raids and mission rewards were separate.

Lie on the bed and enter the Island of the Spirits.

Immediately, Soma walked towards the stone tablet to check the completion status of the Road to Gods.

Something unexpected happened.

"The mission is not completed?"

"How...how is this possible?"

The stone tablet shows that the first mission of the Road to the Gods, ‘Departure’, is still in progress.

And the timer in the upper right corner of the field of view...

"Damn it, why does this timer still change? Didn't it already reset to zero before?"

The timer reset to zero, as Somo touched the stone tablet, slowly changed from 0.00.00 to 3.27.20.

What happened to the extra three hours?

And Sumo soon discovered that as long as he touched the stone tablet once, the timer in his field of vision would be reset.

Every time it is stuck at the time of 3.27.20, no more, no less.

"Could it be that...the wave of snow bandits that the tribe fought back are not the same group as the snow bandits from the Road of Gods?"

Sumo was stunned and a bold idea came into his mind.

Soon, this idea was verified by Thomas, and a key piece of information was obtained from the remaining snow bandits.

"We were hit with a 'kill' order, and the target was me, but the information they received only stated that I was a second-level priest, so the priest sent was only a third-level priest."

Kill an order?

The target is Thomas?

The sudden change made Thomas initially think that he had heard wrongly.

How could he, an ordinary priest of a micro-tribe, be able to attract such attention from the snow bandits?

"Looks like that's the problem."
