In the dark room's tunnel.
Bai Xiaowen picked up the gray bead.
Notification: "You have obtained an unknown soulstone. This item will definitely drop and will not be included in the loot reward list. "
"A soulstone! It's actually in the stomach of an Elite zombie rat! What a surprise! "
Bai Xiaowen was pleasantly surprised. No wonder he couldn't find the soulstone in the dark room.
Bai Xiaowen tried to check the soulstone's properties, but all he got was a string of notifications.
"The soulstone has been sealed by a powerful force."
"The soulstone's energy has been depleted."
"Please remove the seal and recharge it before checking its properties."
Needless to say, the soulstone's energy had been absorbed by Falca.
Bai Xiaowen was happy for nothing. He sighed and put away the soulstone. Suddenly, the soulstone's surface flashed with a dim luster. A faint singing voice seemed to ring in Bai Xiaowen's ears.
"Hmm?"
Bai Xiaowen picked up the soulstone again and looked at it carefully.
The singing voice was a bit vague, but the melody had an indescribably beautiful feeling that made people couldn't help but listen carefully.
Suddenly, with a bang, the singing voice dissipated. Waves of terrifying cries of the Evil Ghost rose and fell one after another, attacking Bai Xiaowen's mind.
"Damn it, it really is an 'Evil' soulstone!"
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen was mentally prepared. Otherwise, he would've been caught off guard by the sudden change in the sound from extremely beautiful to extremely terrifying. The result would've been unpredictable.
The Evil Ghost's cries continued. An illusory Banshee illusion appeared on the soulstone's surface. Her pale lips opened and closed, emitting a Banshee's Howl. A pair of flashing red eyes stared at Bai Xiaowen's eyes, trying to erode Bai Xiaowen's mind step by step.
However, Bai Xiaowen's spirit was as high as 7.9, which was higher than an ordinary hunter's. This meant that Bai Xiaowen's resistance to mental attacks was beyond the Banshee's expectations. More importantly, the soulstone's energy had been depleted, greatly reducing the power of the Banshee's Howl.
During the stalemate, Bai Xiaowen's left eye flashed red. His normal eye suddenly turned into a blood-red eyeball!
The blood-red eyeball emitted a majestic aura, as if it was staring at the Banshee illusion on the surface of the soul stone without any emotion.
"No!"
The banshee let out a sharp cry and suddenly shrank back into the soul stone. Her vitality had been greatly damaged.
At the same time, Falca let out a mournful roar. His originally agile pace had become much slower, and his attacks were not as fierce as before.
The battle-hardened Royal Knight Gloria certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity. She took a step forward with her left foot and swung her two-handed greatsword in a beautiful arc.
Combat Skill, Arc Slash!
Chi La!
Blood spurted out of Falca's chest. He had already been exhausted for a long time. Now that he received this heavy blow, he immediately entered a heavily injured state and fell to the ground. If Gloria didn't want to capture Falca alive and interrogate him about the whereabouts of the soulstone, she would have already killed him.
"Phew … Phew …" The frenzy in Falca's eyes gradually disappeared. He looked at the direction of the secret room unwillingly.
"Give me the soulstone!" Gloria yelled.
"Haha …" Falca showed a trace of a smile. "Gloria, the soulstone isn't with me."
"You're lying!" Gloria pointed the tip of her sword at Falca's throat.
"I'm not lying," Falca said with difficulty. "I suggest you go to my lab and find your partner … Haha, if you're late, the soulstone will be taken away by him."
Gloria snorted. She grabbed Falca's collar with her left hand wrapped in a studded gauntlet and strode straight to the secret room.
Falca's secret room was a tunnel.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. The blood-red eyeball disappeared, and his left eye returned to normal. When the blood-red eyeball appeared, his mind seemed to be in a stagnant state. He did not realize what had happened, nor did he understand why the banshee retreated. He could only attribute it to the banshee's lack of energy.
"Phew … Margaol's journal always said that this was an evil soulstone. Just as I expected. Luckily, I raised my vigilance when I heard the song. "
Notification:
"You've passed the spiritual test of the soulstone and received the reward."
"Your base spirit increased by 2 points."
It was a simple notification, but it made Bai Xiaowen's expression change.
The reason was simple. Bai Xiaowen's total attributes were already 18.7. Now that his total attributes had increased by 2 points, his total attributes had reached 20.7!
The next second, another notification popped up.
"Your base attributes are: Strength 4.5, Dexterity 4.2, Constitution 2.1, Spirit 9.9. Total attributes are 20.7. You've reached the threshold of awakening."
"Your base attributes have been locked. You can't increase them again before the awakening test."
"Please enter the Spiritual Realm within 48 hours of Earth time to take the awakening test. If you fail the test, the test will be considered a failure. The difficulty of the next test will increase by 50%. "
Bai Xiaowen calmed down and sighed.
"I originally wanted to add the last 2 points of growth to Constitution … If it really didn't work, I could have added Strength and Dexterity! But it just had to be added to Spirit … Spirit, which is close to 10 points, is far less useful than Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution of the same attributes when entering the Spiritual Realm for the first time without any skills! "
Strength directly increased damage. His punches and kicks were full of strength.
Dexterity increased attack speed, running speed, flexibility, and so on. It was also useful. Just look at how the Elite zombie rat with 10.4 Dexterity had beaten Bai Xiaowen to the point where he could not fight back. One could see how terrifying high Dexterity was.
Constitution, after entering the Spiritual Realm, the body would be "completely digitized" and become the basic attribute that determined the health value! The higher the Constitution, the higher the health value. And once the health value was emptied, it meant death.
Therefore, a high Constitution could increase the fault tolerance. It was an important attribute for all those who took the awakening test.
As for Spirit … It determined the power of spells and the recovery speed of spirit power. So the question was, did Bai Xiaowen have any active skills now? His 9.9 Spirit was almost a decoration!
In other words, Bai Xiaowen's "effective combat attribute" was actually only 10.8, which was about half of other awakeners. With such strength, it was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to participate in the awakening test with a high elimination rate.
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and shook his head.
"Let's not think so much first. There will be a way when the time comes. I'll think about how to pass the awakening test and enter the Spiritual Realm. Now, Gloria or Falgar should be coming soon. I'd better retreat first. "
Of course, Bai Xiaowen would not go back the way he came, because he would only meet Gloria head-on. He followed the tunnel and went all the way into the depths.
Yes, Bai Xiaowen firmly believed that the other end of the tunnel must lead to the outside world.
This was not a blind guess, but a conclusion inferred from the known information.
Margaol's journal described that they used stones to seal the entrance of the cave and lived there for a long time. During this time, the master and servant could not have been hiding in the mouse hole all the time, right?
Not to mention the problem of food and drink, even if they went to the toilet, they had to find a place with beautiful scenery and clear air, so as not to pollute the air in the basement.
Therefore, there must be another hidden exit that only the master and servant knew about.
According to the general rule, if there was danger, the leader should go first. It could be determined that the tunnel leading to the outside world was in Falgar's secret room, which was the tunnel where the elite zombie rat Blackfang hid.
"Stop!" The female knight's voice faintly came from the entrance of the tunnel.
"It seems that the Royal Knight is better. Falgar, you big noob, you can't be higher than Bronze! "
Bronze King Honey was confident that "I can kill him!"
Bai Xiaowen secretly cursed. If the winner was Falgar, Bai Xiaowen would be in a better position. Bai Xiaowen, who had the Soul Stone, undoubtedly had Falgar's biggest weakness, and his understanding of Falgar was deeper than Gloria's.
Bai Xiaowen checked and confirmed that he could enter the Spiritual Realm at any time, so he calmed down a lot.
Behind a low bush, Bai Xiaowen pushed open the stone slab cover that was covered by weeds and came out of the tunnel. He did not rush to leave, but stood dozens of meters away and waited.
Boom!
Half a minute later, the Royal Knight Gloria appeared. The female knight's furious strike sent the stone slab flying ten meters into the air. It exploded into countless pieces in the air.
"What a grand entrance." Bai Xiaowen curled his lips and commented.
"Give me the Soul Stone … This is your last chance!" Gloria dragged Falgar with her left hand and pointed her sword at Bai Xiaowen with her right hand.
The two were about 30 meters apart. For the powerful Royal Knight, this distance could be closed in a few breaths.
In fact, although Gloria was a little angry, she was not nervous. The difference in strength was obvious. In the endless wilderness, it was impossible for this cunning human from Earth to escape.
"Let me ask you a question." Bai Xiaowen's eyes scanned Gloria's chest under the steel bra. "Ms. Gloria, do you have a C cup?"
Gloria did not understand the word "cup", but she could tell that Bai Xiaowen was being a pervert. With a cold face, she stabbed her sword into the ground and pulled out a thin rapier from her waist.
"Go to hell!"
A stream of light shot out.
Bai Xiaowen had a smile on his face, but his body glowed and dissipated into light spots. The stream of light pierced through, but it only pierced through a phantom of a spirit.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the plague rat's nest one last time.
"Teacher Xiao, Student Jiang Wen … I've tried my best to stall for time as long as I can. You're on your own now. "
In the empty wilderness, the female royal knight Gloria's angry and indignant roar echoed.
