"Oh, what a pity. If only it was a few inches closer, it would have been the perfect area, "Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen chuckled. "Don't be so greedy … The perfect area is so small. If you miss it, you'll end up in the 40% normal area." He was already very satisfied that he had drawn 20% of the excellent area.
The roulette disappeared, and a notification from the Spiritual Realm appeared.
"You have drawn the Excellent-grade enhancement effect: Blood Rage."
"Your summoned creature, the Wolf Pack Leader Wrath Claw, has obtained the passive skill: Blood Rage. When attacked, the Wrath Claw will go berserk. For every 1% of its health points lost, it will gain 1% critical hit chance."
Bai Xiaowen said, "This enhancement effect will be very powerful if it is given to a tank-type summoned creature. The Wrath Claw specializes in Agility, but its Constitution is still a bit low. It has less health points, so it has less room for error. "
Rage Claw's Vitality was only 16 points, and his HP was only 160 points. If he wanted to fully utilize the effects of [Blood Rage], it would be more obvious if he maintained his HP at 50% -75%. However, if he maintained his HP this way, he would be easily killed by the Boss' ultimate skill.
Moreover, Bai Xiaowen did not have a tank-type summoned creature that could really tank the Boss's damage. He could only rely on the number of Skeleton Swordsmen to make up for it. The protection they could provide was limited. He was not like a true main tank like Han Xu, who had the skill [Assist] to block damage and increase his room for error.
After that, Bai Xiaowen chose to draw the Level 4 enhancement effect of [Deterrence].
This time, he had drawn the 30% area of the excellent area. His luck was not bad.
"You have drawn the Excellent-grade enhancement effect: Crush. Enemies with less than 30% of your Mental Strength will suffer an additional crushing effect. The fear effect will be changed to stun."
Literally speaking, "Crush" added a stun status, which was a hard control effect that was even stronger than Fear. It was quite good. However, the restriction was also very strict. The enemy's Mental Strength must be less than 30% of Bai Xiaowen's Mental Strength! Bai Xiaowen's total mental strength was now 34 points, which meant that only enemies with mental strength below 11 points would be stunned. Enemies with mental strength above 11 points would not be stunned.
Looking at it this way, the additional effect was actually a bit weak. Enemies with less than 11 points of Intelligence were generally not that strong. At most, they would be Elites, and it was unlikely that they would be Bosses. For example, the Terror Knight Commander Jerick's Intelligence was already a typical example of a Boss with 12 points of Intelligence.
He couldn't ask for more from the Excellent Enhancement effect. At the very least, the Deterrence skill would be more effective against large AoE minions.
Bai Xiaowen's Black Soul Stone had been absorbing the souls of powerhouses. Now, it had reached 185 Soul Essence. Bai Xiaowen only needed a few more Growth Points to reach Level 4. Once he unlocked the fourth Enhancement Scroll, Bai Xiaowen's strength would increase once again.
Li Shuyi's three skills were now at level 3. However, she didn't have the Strongest Brainiac's combat specialties and skill level + 1, so she couldn't draw the Level 4 strengthening effect for the time being.
Moreover, the Proficiency Points required to upgrade the skills from Level 3 to Level 4 had also increased greatly. Fortunately, two of Li Shuyi's three skills were minor skills with short cooldowns, so the Proficiency Points increased relatively quickly.
After returning to Maple City, Bai Xiaowen unexpectedly met an acquaintance, Anton.
"Anton, what are you doing here?" Bai Xiaowen asked when he saw Anton's disheveled appearance. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked like he was travel-worn.
"Lord, Lord, it's not good!" Anton's face was filled with horror.
"Don't be afraid. Tell me, did something happen in White Stone Town?" Bai Xiaowen had basically turned out in full force when he attacked Maple City this time. White Stone Town didn't have any decent defensive forces left behind.
However, Bai Xiaowen had already cleaned up the stronghold of the Plague of the Dead in White Stone Town. Logically, there shouldn't be a large-scale Plague of the Dead in White Stone Town.
Anton gasped for breath and said, "People have been dying in the town these days, and their corpses are incomplete … We all suspect that there are man-eating beasts …"
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly. He couldn't get any useful clues from Anton's description. He could only conclude that it wasn't the Plague of the Dead for the time being.
"I know, Anton. You go and rest first. I'll go back to White Stone Town to deal with this matter," Bai Xiaowen said.
Anton nodded heavily. "I beg Lord to hurry up … Alas, we've just had a peaceful life for a few days. How could something like this happen again …"
After pacifying Anton, Li Shuyi asked, "Are you really going back to White Stone Town? There are so many things to do here … "
Bai Xiaowen said, "White Stone Town is our foundation. We can't lose it. Although I now have Prince Nicholas's permission to temporarily manage Maple City, from the perspective of the Empire's laws, I still have no authority over Maple City. I estimate that I'll have to wait until I complete the second phase of the mission before I can incorporate Maple City into my fief. "
Li Shuyi nodded and said, "White Stone Town doesn't have any defensive facilities. Why don't we move the residents there to Maple City?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded. "Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Let's settle this matter this time."
While the two were discussing, they suddenly heard a terrifying roar coming from the underground research institute in the backyard. Bai Xiaowen's expression changed. Zombie Doctor's carrier was his summoned creature. There was a spiritual connection between the two, and he could sense that Zombie Doctor was calling for help.
Bai Xiaowen had high hopes for Zombie Doctor. He couldn't allow anything to happen to the underground research institute. He and Li Shuyi quickly ran over.
The manhole cover of the research institute had already been opened. They saw Zombie Doctor scrambling out from afar and scrambling to close the manhole cover. But at this moment, a deathly white palm held the manhole cover. Then, more palms pushed up, stiffly but firmly pushing the manhole cover open.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Many unknown roars could be heard. Zombie Doctor turned around and ran.
"What's going on?" Bai Xiaowen came up to him and stopped him. "Could it be that there's a deviation in the experimental sample? Someone turned into an undead? "
"Thank God, you're finally here." Zombie Doctor almost bumped into Bai Xiaowen. He suddenly looked as if he had seen his savior. "Hurry up and destroy these guys … This is a by-product of my research and development of the antidote …"
At this moment, the manhole cover had been opened. One by one, slow-moving humanoid figures climbed out of the ground. Every one of them had slightly white eyes and deathly white skin. They were very different from ordinary undead ghouls.
Bai Xiaowen used insight.
