Although there were some twists and turns in this expedition to the Eastern Continent, the final result was barely satisfactory.
Nibroz was successfully killed, and Bai Xiaowen obtained another Demonic God's Core.
The corpses of Nibroz and his subordinates still had some value. Bai Xiaowen had the undead army drag them back to the southern beach with wooden rafts.
Sig Delifa then went to search the corpses of Nibroz and his subordinates for useful equipment and items. Bai Xiaowen took out the Demonic God's Core from Nibroz's skull. After injecting a trace of True Inner Force, the Demonic God's Core glowed faintly.
"What are you doing?" Xia Feng asked.
Bai Xiaowen said, "Contacting the last Demonic God, Roscher."
Xia Feng asked again, "Directly contacting him? Aren't we going to make some preparations? "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "The original plan didn't have to be so hasty. However, when we killed Nibroz this time, I'm very concerned about the disturbances that appeared, so we have to speed up the follow-up plan … I have a bad feeling. Maybe it's too late now. "
Bai Xiaowen activated Nibroz's Demonic God's Core and extended the "communication range" to all the demons in the entire Dark Age dimension. Using the Demonic God's Core to contact Roscher was impossible, so they could only use this stupid method, which was similar to a large-scale broadcast.
"Roscher … Roscher … I have a deal to discuss with thee … Come see me … Come see me …"
Bai Xiaowen repeated Nibroz's words several times in Demonic Language before putting Nibroz's Core into a small leather pouch at his waist.
Looking at Xia Feng's slightly inquiring gaze, Bai Xiaowen said, "Now, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate … I hope Roscher can believe in my sincerity."
After that, Bai Xiaowen led the army to rest and reorganize. Xia Feng also needed some time to recover his combat strength.
During the short break, Bai Xiaowen roughly looked at the items after Nibroz's death.
Nibroz was different from Ismen. He was purely a tyrannical glutton who didn't accumulate any treasures, wealth, or resources at all.
The only thing of value was Nibroz's equipment.
Double-edged broadswords, necklaces, cloaks, and other equipment required a "huge body" to equip. Although it was an Epic Equipment, it could only be shelved. Bai Xiaowen did not have any gigantic summoned creatures under his command, so these Epic-tier equipment could only wait to be reforged. The quality of their materials was still quite good.
The only good piece of equipment was Nibroz's defensive artifact.
From the outside, this defensive divine artifact looked like a round crystal bead. It had a transparent shell, and a faint black mist was rolling inside.
Using the Eye of Evolution, Bai Xiaowen quickly obtained information about this defensive artifact.
Seed of Resonance
Quality: Divine Weapon
[Equipment position: Accessory]
[Equipment Requirement: Unknown (Data Disorder, Beyond Authority)]
[Attribute: None]
[Additional Skill 1: Parasitism: Passive. The Seed of Resonance will live in the wearer's body and cannot be stolen or forcibly taken away. The Seed of Resonance's toughness is SS-level. It is immune to energy attacks with priority level 14 and below.]
[Additional Skill 2: (Data Disorder, Beyond Authority): Passive. The wearer will obtain a special energy slot (Data Disorder, Beyond Authority). The energy points are 100/100. Recovers 4 energy points every hour.]
[Additional Skill 3: Transformation: In the parasitic state, the Seed of Resonance will change shape according to the wearer's will. Every time it transforms, the Seed of Resonance's energy will be consumed.]
[Durability: Never wear out.]
[Description: This seed has seen the world change.]
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. "I thought Nibroz's defensive artifact was an inner armor. I didn't expect it to be just an accessory … This is quite good. It saves us the trouble of being unable to keep up with the demands of a huge body."
Xia Feng was also attracted by this artifact. He said, "No wonder my Dimensional Slash couldn't break it. Not only does this seed have SS-level toughness, but the energy attacks it is immune to also have such an exaggerated priority."
In the world of Evolvers, the basic priority of a Descendant of God was 9.
In other words, even a Descendant of God would need to use a super skill of at least six-star and reach a total priority level of 15 to break the defense of the Seed of Resonance.
As for King-level experts, they could forget about it.
After a pause, Xia Feng said, "You can have this artifact."
Bai Xiaowen was slightly startled. "Brother Xia, you don't need it?"
Xia Feng shook his head. "I'm very mobile, and I'm also a combat-type Lord. Once an army-level war breaks out, others won't be interested in me. As a Commander-type Lord, you'll be the focus of others. You're more suitable for this artifact. "
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand. "I already have this artifact, the Silver Throne. In terms of defense, I plan to learn some defensive skills, so I don't really need it. But you'll have to fight many powerful enemies head-on in the future. With this artifact, I'll be more at ease. It'll also save me the trouble of risking my life to save you … "
Xia Feng smiled. He remembered when he was fighting the Descendant of God, Nibroz, and was almost hit by Nibroz's double-edged broadsword. Although he had life-saving means, Xia Feng's heart still palpitated when he saw Nibroz cause a huge earthquake with a single slash of his broadsword and sink the entire island.
No one would complain about having too much of this life-saving artifact. The two brothers pushed each other back and forth for a while. In the end, Xia Feng was still not as eloquent as Bai Xiaowen.
He wasn't someone who liked to push things around, so he took this artifact.
Bai Xiaowen was originally a little worried. This artifact's equipment requirements were "unknown." He didn't know what strange requirements it had and whether Xia Feng could satisfy them.
After Xia Feng chose to wear it, he soon received a prompt asking if he agreed to let the Seed of Resonance live in him. He chose to agree right away. The Seed of Resonance merged into his body. There was no rejection or inability to equip it.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while. The so-called unknown requirements probably had something to do with "divinity."
Xia Feng was the God of Truth's chosen one. He himself had divinity, so it wasn't strange that he could satisfy the parasitic requirements of the Seed of Resonance.
Bai Xiaowen then boarded the frost dragon with Xia Feng. At the same time, he let Sig Delifa lead the undead army back.
Sig Delifa asked, "Master, aren't we going to look for that Roscher?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "It's not easy to find Roscher. We can only wait for him to come to us. I believe that now that we have two Cores of Gods and Demons, he should know what's more important. "
Previously, Bai Xiaowen had killed Ismen and obtained a Core of Gods and Demons.
When Bai Xiaowen threatened Roscher with Ismen's Magic Core and tried to get the Bones of Death from him, he was rejected. Obviously, Roscher had an alternative plan at that time, which was to summon another Demi-God from where he came from to fill Ismen's vacancy. This way, the Dark Age Plane could still maintain a stable relationship with the three Demi-Gods (demons), and the world wouldn't reject or expel them.
However, it wasn't easy for Roscher to summon a Demi-God from where he came from. Otherwise, Roscher wouldn't have taken the risk to meet Bai Xiaowen and promised Bai Xiaowen to restrain his desire for "research" and not to cause large-scale destruction to the human cities.
Now that Bai Xiaowen had two Magic Cores, it wasn't as simple as doubling the difficulty for Roscher to summon two Demi-Gods.
Moreover, Bai Xiaowen proved to Roscher that he had the ability to kill Demi-Gods steadily. Ismen's death could be attributed to Bai Xiaowen's carelessness or luck, but the death of Nibroz, the strongest of the three Demi-Gods, was undoubtedly a great warning to Roscher.
Roscher had to consider that if he didn't cooperate with Bai Xiaowen, even if he brought Demi-Gods over, they would still be killed by Bai Xiaowen one after another.
Xia Feng didn't continue to ask about the negotiation with Roscher. He sat cross-legged on the Frost Dragon's spine and closed his eyes to cultivate.
When Bai Xiaowen asked, Xia Feng replied that the newly acquired Seed of Resonance was a bit special and that he needed some time to master its usage. Only at a critical moment could it play a role in saving his life.
…
When the army of the dead returned to the blockade line, Bai Xiaowen finally received news from Roscher.
Roscher didn't come in person. Instead, he used a spell to control a Magic Fire Crow to fly in front of Bai Xiaowen.
This Magic Fire Crow had a trace of Roscher's soul. Although it wasn't as fast as Roscher's own mind, it could still handle the task of communication.
"Don't you still have two incarnations?"
Bai Xiaowen said in the common human language. "Roscher, last time you came to see me in one of the incarnations of an old man. This time, you only dare to send a trace of your soul. Why are you getting more and more cowardly? "
In the face of Bai Xiaowen's mockery, the Magic Fire Crow that Roscher possessed just opened and closed its sharp beak and cried in a hoarse and slow voice,
"Caw … You abominable outsiders are so vicious … How can I be at ease … caw …"
Bai Xiaowen's pupils shrank slightly. "Roscher, what do you mean by 'these'? You've already seen other outsiders besides me? "
He didn't need to think with his toes to know that the 'other outsiders' Roscher mentioned were definitely not Xia Feng.
If it wasn't Xia Feng, then it was most likely the strange Purple Shadow who suddenly appeared on the island of the Eastern Continent and tried to rob the Demon Cores. However, judging from the time, it shouldn't be Purple Shadow himself. The latter didn't have time to cross the continent and "commit crimes" continuously.
This made the situation even more serious because Zi Ying had an accomplice, and they didn't know how strong that accomplice was. If they were as strong as Purple Shadow, it would be very troublesome.
"Caw … You know the answer …" the Magic Fire Crow that Roscher controlled cried. "The second incarnation you saw last time … has been killed! Caw! "
Bai Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat. Part of his bad premonition had come true.
Purple Shadow's group's goal was indeed the divine-level demons!
To be exact, their goal was to seize at least one Demon Core.
This way, Purple Shadow's group would at least have the capital to negotiate. The three divine-level demon cores were the most important items that maintained the existence of demons on this continent. Losing one of them would cause the demons' pollution to gradually decrease until it disappeared.
Fortunately, Roscher had a total of three incarnations. Previously, one had been killed by Bai Xiaowen. Now, another had been killed by Purple Shadow's group. There was only one incarnation left.
The last remaining incarnation was definitely Roscher's strongest and most important incarnation, so it was the most well-protected and hadn't been found by Purple Shadow's group.
Roscher's Demon Core and Death's remains were definitely in the hands of this last incarnation.
This was also easier to understand why Roscher had become so careful and only dared to use his Spiritual Sense to control the crows to communicate.
He was afraid that if he used his last incarnation to meet Bai Xiaowen, Bai Xiaowen would turn hostile and kill him. That would be the end of him.
The dignified descendant of god, the most powerful Demon King, the Thinker Roxer, had already become a bird startled by the twang of a bow!
Bai Xiaowen frowned and said to Xia Feng, "Brother Xia, hurry to the New City of Silver … The sooner the better!"
After slapping the token of being the Lord of the New City of Silver in Xia Feng's hand, Bai Xiaowen instructed Xia Feng, "When you reach the New City of Silver, be careful of an ambush. If you don't see any enemies, help me guard the immortal array. I've placed Ismen's Demon Core in the immortal array over there …"
Seeing Bai Xiaowen's serious expression, Xia Feng nodded slightly. He slashed the air with his palm, and a slight fluctuation of the power of space surged out. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared on the spot.
"Master …" Sig Delifa looked worried. "Are you saying that the mysterious Purple Shadow Man will snatch Ismen's Demon Core?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Purple Shadow … and his accomplices, their goal is the Demon Core. They killed Roscher's incarnation but didn't get the Demon Core. Roscher's last incarnation must be on high alert, and it will be difficult to find it for a while. On our side, they also failed to snatch Nibroz's Demon Core. So, they only have one choice left. "
Bai Xiaowen could have let Sig Delifa accompany Xia Feng back, but Sig Delifa's mobility was far inferior to Xia Feng's, and would only delay Xia Feng's speed to reach the New City of Silver. Therefore, he could only let Xia Feng carry his token and rush back alone.
Fortunately, the newly obtained divine artifact increased Xia Feng's survivability. Otherwise, Bai Xiaowen wouldn't be at ease with Xia Feng going alone against the mysterious and powerful Purple Shadow team.
In fact, if Bai Xiaowen was the decision-maker of the Purple Shadow team, he would've set his sights on the New City of Silver and Ismen's Demon Core from the beginning, and not Roscher and Nibroz.
The Purple Shadow team's greatest advantage was that they were in the dark, and could catch Bai Xiaowen off guard.
Now, the Purple Shadow team had already made their move, and it could be said that they had turned from the dark to the light. For Bai Xiaowen, they had already lost their best opportunity.
Bai Xiaowen then looked at Roscher's crow. "Thinker, under such dangerous circumstances, you are still willing to take the risk to communicate with me … This makes me very happy. This means that our deal has a high possibility of success. "
Roscher's use of his spiritual sense to control the crow to meet him was actually risky. There were many spells that could be traced back to Roscher's true body through this tiny wisp of spiritual sense. Moreover, Roscher's true body couldn't be too far away from this Demon Fire Crow.
"Caw … What do you want to trade?" Roscher's crow asked.
