As soon as the treasure chest was opened, a special item that was not included in the drop list appeared.
[Chen Duyan's Keepsake: This is the keepsake of Chen Duyan, a senior leader in Ye Mazi's camp. You can give it to any force that opposes Ye Mazi (regardless of whether it is the Wokou camp or the anti-Japanese camp) to gain reputation and merit points.]
The Wokou camp was a general term that referred to all the pirate forces that looted the southeast coast of the Great Ming Dynasty.
These pirate forces had a common enemy, the anti-Japanese army. However, it must be said that the pirates in the Wokou camp were not a monolithic group. Instead, they were divided into many different groups. Among them, there would often be conflicts between each other. For example, Xu Hai's camp and Ye Mazi's camp had a surprise attack between the two high ranking leaders.
Therefore, this [Chen Duyan's Keepsake] was specially marked. It could be given to either the Wokou camp or the anti-Japanese camp.
"This is a good stepping stone. The merit points for killing a Level 7 leader are not easy. Chen Duyan should be Ye Mazi's right-hand man!" Zhao Zhixiong said happily. "I suggest that we join Xu Hai's camp! Since they raided Chen Duyan's fleet, they must be enemies. "
"Join the Wokou camp?" Bai Xiaowen's expression did not change. "Why not join the anti-Japanese army?"
Zhao Zhixiong waved his hand and said, "You should have learned about the history of the Great Ming Dynasty in your school. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was very weak!"
"The Japanese pirates are different. The ronin warriors from Japan are extremely powerful. In history, there are less than a hundred ronin warriors. They once roamed through dozens of provinces and counties along the southeast coast and killed thousands of Ming soldiers!" "That's right. That's right.
"But in the end, the Jiajing rebellion was quelled," Bai Xiaowen said.
"That's not important." Zhao Zhixiong waved his hand and said leisurely, "We awakened ones only care about benefits. It doesn't mean that we have to choose the winner in history. The Great Ming Dynasty's civil and military forces are cheap. The organization is bloated and inefficient. Most importantly, the growth of reputation is too slow. Have you noticed? Killing an elite pirate can raise your reputation to friendly in Xu Hai's camp. But in the anti-Japanese army camp, you are still neutral! It is too difficult to raise your reputation to Reverence in order to complete the main mission. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "I still want to join the Anti-Japanese Army."
Zhao Zhixiong spread out his hands. "Brother, you're so stubborn in choosing the Ming Army's side. Don't tell me you're a nationalistic youth who blindly loves his country?"
"You can understand it that way."
Zhao Zhixiong revealed an incredulous expression. "Please, this is the Spiritual Realm … and not reality! Joining the pirates isn't a big deal. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head slowly but firmly.
"Well, we can only go our separate ways," Zhao Zhixiong said with a helpless expression. "Actually, it was quite pleasant to work with you … How about this, I don't want this token. I'll leave it to you … If you join the Anti-Japanese Army, you'll have something to rely on."
"Thank you." Bai Xiaowen didn't refuse. He and Li Shuyi had contributed more than 70% to the kill count, so they had no qualms about taking the token.
Behind Bai Xiaowen, Zhao Zhixiong's lowered eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.
Boom!
Tai Shuisheng seemed to have received some kind of signal. He jumped up and pounced on Bai Xiaowen, the shield in his hand slamming heavily on the ground.
Shockwave!
Bai Xiaowen was instantly stunned. Zhao Zhixiong nocked an arrow on his bow and a ray of starlight swam around the longbow. He laughed loudly and said, "You're welcome!"
Whoosh!
A terrifying arrow of starlight shot out.
"Awakened Zhao Zhixiong has initiated an attack on you! For the next 30 minutes, you will be in a state of legitimate defense. Your kill rating will be increased by one level. "
"Awakened Zhao Zhixiong's skill: Snipe activated. If this shot hits a vital point, 150% damage will be dealt."
"Awakened Zhao Zhixiong's equipment: Meteor Bow. Additional skill: Meteor activated. Under the effect of the starlight, this shot will deal an additional 46 points of magic damage."
"Awakened Zhao Zhixiong's equipment: Meteor Bow LV4. Enhanced special effect: Explosion triggered. When using the Meteor skill, if you stand still for more than 30 seconds, it will trigger a critical hit."
"Awakened Zhao Zhixiong's equipment: Meteor Bow LV4. Enhanced special effect: Aim triggered. When using the Meteor skill, as long as it hits the target, it will be regarded as a vital attack!"
Just as the [Shockwave] hit, Bai Xiaowen immediately used his accessory, the [Eclipse Ruler's Badge], to remove the control of the shockwave.
However, Zhao Zhixiong's arrow was too fast. Bai Xiaowen's agility was suppressed, and he could not dodge it in time.
Bai Xiaowen immediately used a fixed-point airdrop. A skeletal shield-wielding skeleton blocked the starlight arrow's trajectory!
With a crash, the skeletal shield-wielding skeleton exploded into broken bones that filled the sky. Then, under Bai Xiaowen's astonished gaze, the starlight arrow did not weaken and pierced deeply into Bai Xiaowen's shoulder.
The powerful force caused Bai Xiaowen to stagger backward.
"My Snipe LV4 special effect: Penetration. It will attack a target in a straight line! It's useless to block it! " The moment he saw the skeletal shield-wielding skeleton block the arrow, Zhao Zhixiong was also slightly surprised. However, he quickly regained his composure and laughed. After he said "it's useless to block it", Bai Xiaowen was already knocked back by the arrow.
Critical hit!
Snipe damage increased by 150%!
Meteor skill increased damage by 46 points!
Vital Attack!
Without any suspense, it triggered an instant kill. Bai Xiaowen instantly suffered 290 points of damage (equivalent to his maximum health points).
Zhao Zhixiong's lips curled into a smile. Then, his gaze fell on Li Shuyi. Although this beauty's DPS was very strong, she had just used her ultimate skill (Demonic Fire Dance) against the boss. Without this troublesome summoner, wouldn't she be at his mercy?
However, Zhao Zhixiong did not see any panic on Li Shuyi's face. He instantly felt that something was wrong!
Thud, thud, thud!
Zhao Zhixiong turned his head in horror. He saw Bai Xiaowen, who should have been instantly killed and turned into a treasure chest, rushing toward him like an angry bull. Tai Shuisheng, who was beside him, reached out to stop him. However, Bai Xiaowen casually punched him and knocked him back a few steps. His mouth and nose were bleeding.
"How … how is this possible?"
Zhao Zhixiong wanted to escape, but he felt a wave of fear. It was Bai Xiaowen's Deterrence skill. His reaction was not slow. He quickly used an item to dispel the skill. However, in the blink of an eye, Bai Xiaowen had already pounced in front of him and punched him!
This punch was covered in thick flames. It was the Ancient Martial Art of the Grass Sect — Wild Bite.
Zhao Zhixiong raised his arm to block. However, the moment he raised his arm, he felt an immense and irresistible force. His blocking posture was forcefully broken.
"This … this is impossible! My strength is as high as 27 points. How can I lose to a spirit-type awakened? "
With this doubt, Zhao Zhixiong's body was wrapped in a layer of flames as he staggered backward.
Bai Xiaowen followed up and raised his elbow, knocking Zhao Zhixiong into the air. Then, his hard iron elbow, covered in flames, smashed down fiercely!
The Ancient Martial Art of the Grass Sect — Wild Bite — Nine Shang — Nanase!
This was the Ancient Martial Art of the Grass Sect. Among the Ancient Martial Arts of the Grass Sect, Kyo Kusanagi's most proficient and simplest combo skills. After using Orochi many times, Bai Xiaowen's control of Kusanagi's fire had become more and more proficient. He was already able to perform some of the combo skills.
Zhao Zhixiong felt as if he had been hit by a train. His bones were almost broken and he spat out blood. However, under the heat of the fire, the blood evaporated into mist as soon as it came out of his mouth.
The three combo attacks just now had caused a terrifying damage of nearly 200 points! Zhao Zhixiong's health points were less than 100 points. The clouds of death hung over his head.
"Damn it … how can your strength be so high!"
Zhao Zhixiong gritted his teeth. Such high damage was comparable to that of the strength-type Boss, Chen Duyan. He could not imagine.
Bai Xiaowen sneered. "Do you have a returning item? If you don't have it … then die! "
White Eagle's Assault — Glide skill activated!
Bai Xiaowen leaped up high like an eagle and kicked his leg upwards. With the support of the skill, the speed of this kick was almost doubled. Zhao Zhixiong had superior agility, but he could not dodge it in time. He could only block it with one hand in front of him.
Bam! This kick almost broke Zhao Zhixiong's arm, and also left him with an open door in front of him! Bai Xiaowen spun in the air and followed up with a second kick. This kick accurately hit Zhao Zhixiong's chin.
Crack!
A few teeth flew out, accompanied by blood. Zhao Zhixiong's jaw had been broken by the kick. His body became light, and he was kicked into the air again!
At this time, Zhao Zhixiong's health points were less than 50 points!
Seeing the flames in Bai Xiaowen's palm, Zhao Zhixiong finally despaired. He endured the pain in his chin and shouted, "I … I will never let you go!"
A white light flashed and enveloped both Zhao Zhixiong and Tai Shuisheng! Bai Xiaowen's next Dark Whisk swept across the ground but passed through the air.
The white light dissipated and both Zhao Zhixiong and Tai Shuisheng disappeared.
Spiritual World's rules prompt message:
[Based on your insight, you have received the following battle information.
[Awakened Zhao Zhixiong used an S-class item: Teleportation Scroll. It can instantly teleport the user and team members to any target location within a radius of 10 kilometers. It can be used in battle.]
Clearly, this S-class item, Teleportation Scroll, was a precious item used to save one's life. Its value was even higher than the returning item, Town Return Scroll.
Its advantage was that after using this item, the user would not leave the Spiritual World and would retain the opportunity to complete the main quest. It would not cause their hard-earned psionic points, equipment, and items to disappear.
Bai Xiaowen heaved a sigh. He could feel the surging power in his body recede like the tide.
The Gold Ring, Pain Ring, had an additional skill, Pain Potential. For every 10 points of damage received, the user would gain 1 point of strength. Only damage received within 30 seconds would be counted.
Bai Xiaowen had received 290 points of damage. This gave him a temporary 29 points of strength! His original strength was 22 points. When stacked together, it meant that he temporarily had 51 points of strength. This was a rather powerful number, comparable to a Level 6 strength-type Boss.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen had decisively chosen to engage in close combat. Zhao Zhixiong was an expert in long-range shooting. If Bai Xiaowen had continued to exchange fire with him, he would have been a fool. Relying on his high strength to engage in close combat was a wise choice.
In the end, Bai Xiaowen had only used a deterrence skill and a combination of punches to beat Zhao Zhixiong into a retreat. He had no choice but to use a precious life-saving item. This was the correct choice of battle.
"Xiaowen, how are you feeling?" Li Shuyi had just chosen to attack Tai Shuisheng. While he was suppressing Tai Shuisheng, Tai Shuisheng had used a life-saving item to escape.
"I'm fine. I was able to survive Zhao Zhixiong's attack thanks to the Level 4 class enhancement effect, Life Sharing. This is a godly skill. You're right. "Bai Xiaowen smiled.
"How can you still smile?" Li Shuyi patted his chest. "That guy is too sinister. I keep feeling that there's something wrong with him. I don't believe that you can't see it."
"I can see it," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "He's a Level 5 damage output hero. His damage is so much lower than yours. He must have kept his skills. Why would he keep his skills? Who else could he be targeting other than us? "
"Then why didn't you be careful?" Li Shuyi said.
"Didn't I leave two Skeletal Sword Shield Bearers behind as well …" Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "However, the enhanced effect of his Snipe skill is Penetration. He can shoot in a straight line. The Skeletal Sword Shield Bearers' fixed-point airdrop didn't have any effect … I really didn't expect that."
"If you ask me, don't deal with unfamiliar Awakened in the Spiritual Realm in the future. They want to kill us as soon as they attack. They're too vicious! What compatriots? Disgusting! "Li Shuyi said angrily." If it weren't for Life Sharing, you would have died. "
After this incident, Miss Li was even more wary of unfamiliar Awakened. It was impossible for her to make friends with unfamiliar Awakened in the Spiritual Realm.
Bai Xiaowen patted Li Shuyi. "Don't be so agitated. If I didn't have Life Sharing, I would definitely be more careful."
The reason why Zhao Zhixiong wanted to kill Bai Xiaowen was very simple. He was confident that he could kill Bai Xiaowen with a surprise attack. As the saying went, a killing intent arose when one had a sharp weapon.
Bai Xiaowen was not constantly on guard against Zhao Zhixiong as if he were facing a formidable enemy. It was also very simple. Bai Xiaowen was confident that he would not be killed instantly.
As for Zhao Zhixiong's motive for killing Bai Xiaowen, on the one hand, he wanted to steal the treasure chest dropped by the pirate leader Chen Duoyan, especially the "Chen Duoyan's Keepsake." On the other hand, Bai Xiaowen had decided to join the Anti-Japanese Army. The two of them were on opposing sides.
Since they were on opposing sides, there might be conflicts between the two of them later on in the mission. Bai Xiaowen was a powerful summoner. It would be very difficult for him to fight against the Japanese Army. Therefore, it was not difficult to understand why Zhao Zhixiong made the first move.
"Be careful. That guy hasn't left the Jiajing Dimension yet," Li Shuyi whispered worriedly.
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. "Don't worry. I won't let him get away with it."
Even if Li Shuyi did not remind him, Bai Xiaowen would still set up a trap to deal with Zhao Zhixiong. If such a powerful sniper was left alone, wouldn't it be tantamount to having a knife on his neck at any time?
