After the big battle, Bai Xiaowen collected another batch of Drowned Bones and Nether Grass to try to strengthen his Undead Camouflage.
A Drowned Bone and a bunch of Nether Grass were thrown into the Undead Camouflage in pairs. Naturally, a gloomy energy spread out, wrapping around the two materials and slowly devouring them.
Bai Xiaowen could feel that the Undead Camouflage on his body was slowly becoming thicker.
By the time the Drowned Bones collected on Chill Wind Mound were all strengthened, Bai Xiaowen's Undead Camouflage had changed from the original tattered straw raincoat to a large hoodless cloak.
[Undead Camouflage (Intermediate): When in the Ghost Fog area, you are immune to the effect of Yin Qi and physical recovery speed + 10%.]
'It turns out that the Intermediate Undead Camouflage can add a buff. Although the effect of this buff is average, it's suitable for the physical consumption of my Grass Style ancient martial arts, 'Bai Xiaowen thought.' If it's an Advanced Undead Camouflage, the buff will definitely be more powerful. '
However, upgrading the Undead Camouflage required two materials, the Drowned Bone and the Nether Grass.
The Drowned Bone was fine. After it was taken out of the Dead Soul Lake space, the resentment it contained would dissipate. It was worthless. However, the Nether Grass was a real spiritual medicinal material. It could be taken out of the Dead Soul Lake space and stored for a long time. It had a good trading value.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen needed to weigh the pros and cons. Should he use the Nether Grass to upgrade the Undead Camouflage to a higher level, or keep the Nether Grass and sell it?
Bai Xiaowen closed his eyes and sensed Li Shuyi's position through the team connection.
Compared to the first time he sensed Li Shuyi, he was closer to him. However, the connection was still vague, which meant that the two were still far away.
Bai Xiaowen opened the map of the Dead Soul Lake. He was now in the southeast area of the Dead Soul Lake, Chill Wind Mound in the Nether Crevice. Li Shuyi should be in the northeast area of the Dead Soul Lake.
If the two wanted to meet, they would have to cross the central area of the Dead Soul Lake — the Undead Sinkhole.
Originally, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi could sense each other and should be the first batch of Awakened to complete the rendezvous. However, their initial coordinates were too far apart, making it difficult for them to rendezvous.
"If that's the case … why don't we meet up at the entrance of the Undead Sinkhole? Unfortunately, the team's storage space was bound to me, so I couldn't send any information over through the storage space. However, Shuyi and I should have such a tacit understanding. "
The team's shared storage space was bound to Bai Xiaowen. The other team members had to be within three meters of Bai Xiaowen if they wanted to view or take items from the storage space.
Without this restriction, Bai Xiaowen could write a note in advance and place it in the public storage space. Li Shuyi could then take the note out of the public storage space and read it. This way, long-distance or even inter-dimensional information exchange could be realized.
Bai Xiaowen put away this unrealistic idea. He left the Chill Wind Mound and walked out of the Netherworld Crevice. He went straight to the center of the Dead Soul Lake, where the Dead Soul Sinkhole was located.
The Dead Soul Sinkhole was a huge pit with a depth of hundreds of meters and an area of dozens of square kilometers. In the sinkhole, there was a thick layer of ghost fog.
This was the center of the Dead Soul Lake. Compared to the ghost fog outside, it was much thicker. After entering the Dead Soul Sinkhole, even the awakened ones' field of vision would be reduced to ten meters.
The sinkhole's mountain walls were steep cliffs. There was only a narrow mountain road along the mountain walls of the sinkhole. It was like a circular staircase, winding down in circles.
The entrance of the mountain road was located on the east side of the sinkhole. If one wanted to enter the Dead Soul Sinkhole, there was only one entrance — unless one could fly.
According to the information, the inside of the Dead Soul Sinkhole was covered with wet mud and a thick white ghost fog. Therefore, the inside of the Dead Soul Sinkhole was also known as the Pale Swamp.
In the Pale Swamp, there was a large number of Swamp Hydra. Some of the hydras had mutated under the corrosion of the ghost fog during their infancy, turning into Spirit Hydra, just like how the Dead Swamp Crocodile had mutated into Bi 'an.
Bai Xiaowen's mission was to collect the eyeballs of the Spirit Hydra, which was entrusted by Yan Xiaoxin.
After a few hours of moving forward, Bai Xiaowen arrived at the central area. He circled around the Dead Soul Sinkhole and searched for a while before finally finding the entrance ramp.
At this time, there were only a few awakened ones at the entrance ramp. They came to the entrance of the Dead Soul Sinkhole one step ahead, but they did not choose to enter. Obviously, they were waiting for someone. Once they entered the sinkhole, it would not be easy to meet in the thick ghost fog.
Bai Xiaowen was not in a hurry to enter. After the battle at the Ill Wind Mound and the non-stop journey, he was quite tired. In addition, Li Shuyi had not arrived yet. It was better to take advantage of this time to take a good rest, study the skills of the two newly obtained elite summoned creatures, and think about tactical cooperation.
However, among the awakened ones he saw at the entrance of the Dead Soul Sinkhole, Bai Xiaowen was surprised to find that one of them was a bit familiar. That person looked at Bai Xiaowen with a somewhat evasive gaze.
Bai Xiaowen quickly remembered that this familiar person was called Ruan Chong, a student of Jiangnan University. He had seen him in the Broken Back Mountain Rift Valley.
At that time, Ruan Chong and several people from Jiangnan University besieged Li Shuyi in order to compete for the treasure chest dropped by the Blood-Patterned Drake Leader. Although their strength was not good, they had a lot of bad intentions.
Ruan Chong panicked when he saw Bai Xiaowen. He was afraid that Bai Xiaowen would rush up and beat him violently and drive him out of the Dead Soul Lake space.
However, Bai Xiaowen just glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest. He did not make a move.
Ruan Chong breathed a sigh of relief. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. He was lucky to have escaped a disaster, but there was also an inexplicable sense of loss. He understood that Bai Xiaowen did not make a move because he felt that Ruan Chong was not a threat and ignored him like air.
Gradually, more and more awakened ones gathered at the entrance of the Dead Soul Sinkhole. For example, Wang Jin, Geng Chen, and other school team captains also appeared.
However, this exploration of the Dead Soul Lake had attracted even more universities than the last time. Wannan University and Shandong University were both top-tier universities, and they had more than five people with hero classes. Wang Jin and Geng Chen, who were Elite Level 6 players, were no longer considered the best of the best.
The eyes of all the awakened ones were more focused on Bai Xiaowen's Hero Class. Every time a Hero Class powerhouse appeared, it would cause a burst of whispers. Everyone was gossiping about which Hero Class powerhouse was more powerful.
Duanmu Cheng from Wannan University was wearing a white sportswear, looking quite handsome.
Bao Yiming from Shandong University was a powerful fatty, or rather, a big fat man. His chest muscles were bigger than a girl's, and the flesh on his face slightly trembled with every step he took.
Bai Xiaowen's old acquaintance, Qi Ruifeng, also appeared. He seemed to have come out of the shadow of his last defeat. When he saw Bai Xiaowen, he showed a calm smile and nodded slightly.
Bai Xiaowen also nodded in response. Qi Ruifeng was broad-minded. As the victor, of course, he would not be narrow-minded.
"The strongest person in Jianghai district, Qi Ruifeng, is here. I wonder who is stronger, compared to our Lujiang district's No.1, Duanmu Cheng. "Some of the awakened ones secretly discussed.
"Your news is outdated. Qi Ruifeng is no longer the strongest person. In the qualifiers of the Jianghai district, he lost to Jinghai University's ace, Bai Xiaowen. The entire Jianghai district knows … "Some of the awakened ones secretly spread the news.
"Really? Who is Bai Xiaowen? I've never heard of him … "
"Hey, your village just got connected to the internet? You don't even know the top scorer of the college entrance examination … "
These discussions were very low, but the awakened ones' hearing was better than ordinary people, especially Qi Ruifeng, who specialized in mental strength. His originally smiling face froze for a moment.
Ruan Chong, who was next to Qi Ruifeng, coughed. At this time, he felt that he needed to stand up and say something. He quickly approached the awakened ones who were talking.
"This time's victory or defeat doesn't mean anything. In the qualifiers, the captain didn't use his full strength at all. He lost because of a moment of carelessness."
The awakened ones who were whispering and laughing were startled when they heard Ruan Chong's words. Then, they quickly reacted to Ruan Chong's origin. He should be a student of Jiangnan University.
These awakened ones didn't want to cause a dispute because of idle chatter. Seeing Ruan Chong come up to them, one of them said with a smile, "Yes, we're just talking casually. We know the strength of Jiangnan University very well. They were in the semifinals last year."
When people are sensitive, they will misunderstand anything they hear. When Ruan Chong saw the smiling face of the person in front of him, he misunderstood and thought that the other party was being sarcastic. He snorted and said, "Our captain's strength doesn't need to be judged by others. In the previous world, the captain completed an A-class elite mission! This isn't something that can be done by just any hero class. "
"A-class elite mission?" The other awakened ones showed a surprised expression. Most of the awakened ones couldn't even trigger a mission of this level, let alone complete it.
Even Bao Yiming and Duanmu Cheng looked at Qi Ruifeng with a dignified expression. They had also completed an elite mission. Because of that, they knew what an A-class elite mission meant.
Generally speaking, an elite mission would require one to face at least one boss. In the spirit world, the level of the boss would be at least 1 to 2 levels higher than the awakened one's level. Qi Ruifeng was Level 6. In the spirit world, he would face at least Level 7 or even Level 8 bosses!
As for an A-class elite mission, it was likely that he would face more than one boss. For example, Bai Xiaowen completed the herb hunting mission in the Jiajing Plane. He only completed it after killing the King of Black Zombie and the White Ghost.
"Ruan Chong, come back." Qi Ruifeng's expression was indifferent. There wasn't the slightest trace of pride as he said calmly. The more calm he was, the more unfathomable his strength was.
The discussion started again.
"Qi Ruifeng really is a veteran powerhouse."
"Yeah, an A-class elite mission. I've only completed it in my dreams."
"It seems that Bai Xiaowen defeating him in the qualifiers was just a fluke."
The corners of Bai Xiaowen's mouth rose slightly, revealing an unpredictable smile.
Wang Jin saw the smile on Bai Xiaowen's face and said, "What's the matter? You don't seem surprised by Qi Ruifeng's achievements."
"How could that be? I was just shocked. An A-class elite mission is too amazing. "Bai Xiaowen tried to put on a dignified and admiring expression.
Wang Jin: "… …" What's with your exaggerated acting?
At this time, a clear female voice sounded from the northeast. "What's so great about an A-class elite mission?"
Everyone looked towards the voice and saw a girl in a white kendo suit walking quickly.
She was tall and slender, with two swords hanging from her waist. Her waterfall-like black hair was tied into a simple ponytail with a thin string. Although from the fluctuations of her spiritual force field, she was only Level 5 or so, she faintly emitted an imposing aura. That kind of calm temperament made people not dare to underestimate her.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and walked in front of the girl in the white kendo suit. "You're here."
The person who had come was none other than Li Shuyi.
Li Shuyi's picturesque face revealed a happy smile. Under the envious and jealous gazes of the boys, she reached out and grasped Bai Xiaowen's hand. The two of them held hands.
Li Shuyi and Ruan Chong had a grudge, so when she heard Ruan Chong flattering Qi Ruifeng, she couldn't help but mock him.
Ruan Chong felt a little guilty, but he didn't want to lose face. He sneered and said, "You're not a hero … … What, have you done an A-class elite mission?"
Li Shuyi glanced at Ruan Chong. "I often encounter them, but I don't think much of them. Compared to them, hero missions are more challenging. "
"Who doesn't know how to brag?" Ruan Chong retorted.
Li Shuyi raised her eyebrows. Just as she was about to retort, Bai Xiaowen lightly patted her shoulder.
"That's enough … … There's no need to fight over this title. A-class elite missions are really amazing. "As Bai Xiaowen spoke, her gaze shifted from Li Shuyi to the others. After looking around, she finally fixed her gaze on Ruan Chong." However, my Shuyi would never brag. It's better if you take back what you just said. "
Ruan Chong was a little afraid of Bai Xiaowen. He dared to argue with Li Shuyi, but he didn't dare to argue with Bai Xiaowen. He shrunk his neck and didn't continue arguing.
"Excuse us, everyone. We'll go first."
Bai Xiaowen waved at Wang Jin and the others. Then, she walked side by side with Li Shuyi and stepped into the entrance ramp of the Spirit Sinkhole.
Bai Xiaowen was mainly waiting for Li Shuyi. If the other people from Jinghai University could arrive at the same time, it wouldn't be a problem to team up with them. However, Li Shuyi was here, and the others hadn't arrived yet. There was no need to waste precious time waiting.
Although Bai Xiaowen was the captain of the school team, she wasn't a babysitter.
