It had to be said that the Naga Tribe was still very vigilant. After the sound of the conch, there was a quick response. Groups of Naga Warriors and Naga Priests quickly gathered.
The fastest to arrive were the other Naga patrols outside the high walls of the Tribe. It would take some time for the Nagas in the Tribe to gather.
The first batch of Naga patrols consisted of two groups. They were of two professions, male Warriors and female Priests. There were a total of ten of them. And they were all elites.
Bai Xiaowen was about to clash with these two groups of Nagas. He waved his hand and summoned all his creatures. More than ten of them formed a sharp formation. They were actually pushing back.
A powerful Summoner could form an army by himself. Now, Bai Xiaowen was showing signs of this.
After the second enhancement, the Skeletal Shield Bearers were not inferior to normal Level-5 creatures in terms of overall attributes. Moreover, the Skeletal Shield Bearers' attribute distribution was more extreme. Their Dexterity and Intelligence were lower, so their Strength and Vitality were higher. They were at 19 points and 18 points respectively. As a meat shield, they were quite resilient.
More importantly, there were a total of six of these Skeletal Shield Bearers. They formed a shield formation and blocked the attacks of the Naga Warriors without hesitation.
Under Bai Xiaowen's control, Fat Boy broke away from the Skeletal Shield Bearers' protection and rushed directly into the group of monsters. Its huge size immediately attracted the attention of several Naga Warriors and Priests. They surrounded it and attacked it.
Soon, the bleeding effect on Fat Boy had stacked five times. The blood quickly evaporated into purplish black clouds. All the Naga Warriors and Priests in melee range were slowed down by 25%. At the same time, they also suffered 15 points of septic poison damage per second.
Seeing Fat Boy's HP bar and the monsters' HP bar dropping together, Bai Xiaowen was a little shocked. After leveling up, Fatty's HP dropped like an avalanche. However, the AOE poison damage that it dealt was equally terrifying.
Counting, there were already 6 Nagas surrounding Fatty. Each Naga was losing around 10 HP per second (Poison damage was considered as a spell, so it had to take into account the damage reduction from Vitality). Thus, Fatty's additional DPS was 60 HP per second. It had 28 points of Strength, and its slow punch still dealt a lot of damage. What was even more amazing was that the slowed Naga had a hard time dodging.
"Fatty has 5 stacks of bleeding status on him. This kind of AOE ability can only last for 1 minute at most. If we include the damage from the Nagas, I'm afraid that the duration will be shortened to 30 seconds … Although the six Nagas around him will either die or be crippled, Fatty can't be used to trade his life with them. In the following battle, Fatty will still be of great use."
Under the command of Bai Xiaowen's telepathic link, the Skeleton Warrior swung its greatsword and charged forward. It activated the powerful Whirlwind Slash skill, knocking back the Nagas in front of it as it charged towards Fatty. As for the Vampire Kitts, it followed the path cleared by the Skeleton Warrior and charged forward. Two elite summoned creatures stood beside Fatty, blocking the attacks of the Nagas for him.
The Skeletal Fiend Arcane Master exerted his strength. Although the ghostly fog here was thinner, the Skeletal Fiend Arcane Master's spirit recovery speed was still faster than normal. Under Bai Xiaowen's precise command, every time a Lightning Strike fell, it was when an enemy was about to attack! It could be said that the stun effect of the Lightning Strike was not wasted at all.
The ones with the highest damage output were the Wrath Claw and Li Shuyi. The Wrath Claw had the additional critical strike rate of Bloodrage, while Li Shuyi did not activate Devilfire Dance and his weapon's Blood Drain skill was also on cooldown.
The Naga Warriors and Shamans also had a certain level of intelligence. They communicated with each other in ancient Latin and roared loudly as they tried to attack Bai Xiaowen, but they were all blocked by the Skeletal Swordsmen. Bai Xiaowen's hands were as steady as boulders. He used Rapid Fire mode and fired one bullet after another. Occasionally, he would trigger the Bloodstone's Thirst for Slaughter effect and deal high true damage.
Although the Naga patrol team also cooperated to a certain extent, they were still inferior to Bai Xiaowen's overall plan. The six poisoned Nagas around Fatty fell to the ground one after another under the heavy damage from the poison and concentrated fire.
These Nagas were quite brave. Even if they knew that they were no match for Fatty, none of them fled. However, this saved Bai Xiaowen a lot of trouble. Soon, the summoned creatures surrounded and killed the remaining four Nagas.
In this battle, they killed ten elite Nagas. The Black Soulstone's growth rate increased by nearly 60 points and three silver treasure chests were dropped.
"Time is of the essence. I won't draw the treasure chests for now." Bai Xiaowen put away the three treasure chests.
Suddenly, the Wrath Claw's nose twitched and its ears perked up. It looked in the direction of the Naga Tribe and made a whining sound.
Not only did the Wrath Claw have an outstanding sense of smell, but its hearing was also very sharp. It could detect the smell and sound of the wind and get information from afar.
"The reinforcements from the Naga Tribe are coming. The Wrath Claw smells the stench of the Mud Hydra. It seems that the main force is coming this time, not the patrol team." Bai Xiaowen stroked the Wrath Claw's smooth neck fur and patted it on the side of its neck. "Let's take a detour. We don't want to face the Naga reinforcements head-on."
The Wrath Claw ran horizontally and went around a quagmire. It drew a large arc in the air and moved forward in a roundabout way.
Li Shuyi was a little confused. "Aren't we here to stop the reinforcements?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and smiled. "How long can the two of us stop them? Even if we do our best to stop the first wave of Naga troops, the reinforcements will continue to come. Although the two of us are strong, we can't defeat an entire tribe. Attacking Wei to save Zhao is a better strategy. "
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi killed the Naga elites very quickly. It took them less than a minute. At this time, Shi Haiyan and the others were still fighting the four Naga elites. They were still in the middle of a fierce battle.
In fact, Bai Xiaowen was using Shi Haiyan, Han Xu, and the others as bait. As long as he and Li Shuyi took a detour, the regular Naga troops would not see them and would naturally join the battle on Shi Haiyan's side. Taking advantage of this time difference, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi could go straight to the Naga Tribe.
This was not the Spiritual Realm, but the space of treasure. Shi Haiyan and the others could return at any time without encountering any life-threatening danger. Moreover, if Bai Xiaowen's plan went smoothly, he could force the regular Naga troops to return to defend the tribe. This was equivalent to solving the crisis of Shi Haiyan and the others.
Moreover, Bai Xiaowen had obtained an important piece of information about the Naga Tribe from Majik's animal skin scroll. This was the main reason why he was confident in coming up with the strategy of attacking Wei to save Zhao.
While taking a detour, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi secretly hid and saw the Naga's main army from afar. Bai Xiaowen was mentally prepared, so he was not surprised. Li Shuyi, on the other hand, was very surprised.
The Naga Tribe's main army consisted of dozens of elite Nagas and dozens of Swamp Hydras. The leader was even a level-six leader! Even with Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's strength, they would still have to fight hard and use all their trump cards to win against this army.
However, there was no doubt that this army of dozens of people was only a part of the Naga Tribe's strength. It did not make sense for them to mobilize all their forces just because a few invaders had appeared in their territory. There had to be a certain number of soldiers guarding the territory. Moreover, a level-six leader should not be the final boss of the Naga Tribe. One had to know that the final boss of the Lobster Tribe, Majik, was already level-seven.
In other words, Bai Xiaowen's speculation was completely correct. If they were to clash head-on with this reinforcements, the Naga Tribe's reinforcements would arrive one after another. The two of them would then be caught in a tough battle. How could it be more satisfying than attacking Wei to save Zhao?
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi avoided the reinforcements sent by the Naga Tribe. After taking a detour, they quickly reached the high walls of the Naga Tribe. The Naga sentinel on guard duty was shocked. He quickly blew another sharp horn to sound the alarm that the enemy had invaded the Naga Tribe's territory.
Another team of Naga Tribe warriors rushed to the gate to strengthen the defense of the gate.
However, Bai Xiaowen did not directly attack the gate. Instead, he ran to the high walls of the Naga Tribe, in front of a crystal pillar.
"According to the Lobster Prophet's animal skin scroll, the Naga Tribe relies on four crystal pillars to maintain the internal isolation array," Bai Xiaowen briefly explained. "What we need to do now is to completely destroy the four crystal pillars and let the Naga Tribe reappear in the Pale Mire!"
Originally, Bai Xiaowen's plan was to go straight into the Naga Tribe, kill the final boss, and reap all the benefits. At most, he would give some of the elites to Shi Haiyan and the others, which could be considered as a reflection of their value as bait. However, after a direct confrontation, Bai Xiaowen realized that the Naga Tribe's strength was quite tyrannical. It would be difficult for him, Li Shuyi, Shi Haiyan, and the other hunters to win.
In that case, it was better to go all the way and completely destroy the internal isolation array, allowing the Naga Tribe to see the light of day again! At that time, a large number of hunters from the Pale Mire would naturally rush over.
As for the hunters rushing over, would they take away the Naga Tribe's main benefits? Bai Xiaowen beamed a smile. He had grasped so many opportunities, and his power was at the peak of the entire Dead Soul Lake. If the other Awakened Warriors were to come and snatch the main benefits, it would be better for him to kill himself.
"I'll eat the meat, and the hunters who work for me will drink the soup at most." This thought flashed through Bai Xiaowen's mind.
Next to the crystal pillar, there was only one Naga tent, guarded by two elite Nagas. Obviously, the Naga Tribe did not expect Bai Xiaowen to have such clear information about their internal affairs. Such a crucial place was not heavily guarded.
After easily beheading the two Nagas, a group of summoned creatures surrounded the crystal pillar and madly hacked at it. The crystal pillar itself also had durability.
Although the crystal pillar wasn't fragile, it definitely wasn't sturdy either. After a dozen seconds, it was chopped into crystal fragments on the ground.
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised to find that these crystal fragments were actually psionic items. The description displayed was:
[Broken Crystal: Can be taken out of the Spirit World plane. Can also be used as currency in certain plane worlds. Can also be exchanged for psionic points in the checkout interface.]
Of course, this kind of unexpected surprise was something that they would take as many as they could get. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi quickly picked up all the crystal fragments and then led the troops forward, rushing to the next crystal pillar.
The four crystal pillars were located at the four corners of the Naga Tribe's high wall. It was like a huge mosquito net, protecting the Naga Tribe and isolating the exploration of the Awakened students. However, the Naga Tribe was destined to not be able to survive this crisis peacefully.
After Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi destroyed the first crystal pillar, it was as if a corner of the mosquito net had collapsed. Spatial cracks of different sizes appeared at the boundary of the corresponding spell formation. Then, due to the extensibility of space itself, they quickly expanded into flickering spatial doors that connected the internal isolation spell formation to the Pale Swamp!
After the first crystal pillar was destroyed, the Naga Tribe was furious. They quickly sent out the remaining troops to protect the other three crystal pillars and hunt down the culprits at the same time. For this reason, the Naga Tribe even blew a warning horn. The dozens of Naga Tribe's main battle force that had been sent out heard the horn and began to return to defend.
However, destruction was always easier than protection. While the higher-ups of the Naga Tribe were receiving feedback, discussing, and dispatching troops, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had already rushed to the second crystal pillar. They killed two more Naga guards and completely destroyed the pillar.
That was where the benefits of blitzkrieg ended. When Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi arrived at the third crystal pillar, they found more than a dozen elite Nagas waiting in formation. In addition, there were two Swamp Hydras!
Of course, this information was obtained by the Shadow Assassin in advance. It had the Invisibility skill and could not be discovered.
After Bai Xiaowen saw this scene through the shared vision of the Shadow Assassin, he immediately changed his battle plan and recalled all his summoned creatures.
The battlefield was ever-changing, especially in a small-scale raid like this. They had to adapt to the circumstances. Now, the Naga Tribe had sent out a large number of troops to guard the remaining two crystal pillars. It was not wise to fight to the death.
"What should we do now?" asked Li Shuyi. While the Naga Tribe was guarding the crystal pillars, they also sent out an elite search team to search for Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi.
Of course, Shi Haiyan, Han Xu, and the others were also on the run. They also involved a considerable portion of the Naga Tribe's military force. This was their value.
However, while the Naga Tribe was chasing after Shi Haiyan and the others and guarding the crystal pillars, they could still send out many search teams to search for Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi. The search efforts were only slightly weaker.
The Naga patrol team was familiar with the environment. It was only a matter of time before they found Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi.
