Bai Xiaowen rushed to the altar behind Alici. He reached out and grabbed the offerings in front of the hydra statue and ran.
Spirit Realm Rule Notifications:
[You've obtained Nether Grass x10.]
[You've obtained Spirit Hydra Eyeball x12.]
[You've obtained Incense x3.]
[You've obtained Unknown Item x1.]
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the notifications and laughed in his heart. He was going to leave anyway. It would be a waste if he didn't fish. Moreover, getting a dozen or so Spirit Hydra eyeballs was already a pleasant surprise.
Spirit Hydras existed in the Pale Swamp, but they were few in number. Moreover, they were surrounded by Swamp Hydras. Finding and killing them was not easy. Bai Xiaowen didn't expect the Naga tribe to use the Spirit Hydra's eyeballs as a tribute. However, it made sense when he thought about it.
The Spirit Hydra was a mutated hydra that had absorbed the Ghost Fog and other negative energy. In the eyes of the Nagas, it was probably equivalent to a divine beast that had been blessed by the Naga God. Using it as a tribute was similar to the ancient Hua Xia times when local officials offered white deer to the emperor as an auspicious sign. Wasn't a white deer an albino deer?
The pursuing Naga warriors became even angrier when they saw Bai Xiaowen blaspheming the Naga God. They got up and chased after him. However, Bai Xiaowen activated the acceleration skill of his shoes and ran too fast. The Nagas soon lost their target.
Of course, this was also related to the chaos in the Naga tribe. Although Alici had used God's Descent at the central altar to expel Qi Ruifeng and the other Heroes in one fell swoop, there were still a large number of Awakened students pursuing the Naga army outside the high walls of the tribe. The sounds of battle and killing could be heard everywhere.
If there were no other Awakened students and Bai Xiaowen was alone, it wouldn't be so easy for him to escape after killing the two leaders of the Naga tribe.
Bai Xiaowen took advantage of the chaos to hide in a stone house decorated with shells. He took a few deep breaths and began to check the treasure chests of the two Level 7 Bosses.
The two Bosses' battle ratings were both A, and they each had three chances to draw.
Bai Xiaowen wasn't surprised by such a battle rating. Comparatively speaking, Alici's strength was clearly higher than Casares'. She was the chief of the entire tribe. However, Cazares had been killed by Bai Xiaowen alone, so there were extra points in the battle score. Alici had been killed by Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi together.
Bai Xiaowen first opened Casareth's treasure chest and randomly chose three of the eighteen golden cards.
"You've obtained an item: Sea Snake Trident."
"You received an Equipment Enhancement Card: Four Stars."
"You've obtained a high-grade spirit crystal x5."
[Sea Snake Trident (Bound after pickup)]
[Rarity: Hero (Gold)]
[Equipment Position: Two-Handed]
[Requirement: 20 Base Strength, 20 Base Agility]
[Attribute: Additional Attack 15 ~ 30]
[Additional Skill: Spear Throw: After charging, throw the trident in a direction, hitting the first target in its path (friend or foe), inflicting heavy damage and knockback. Cooldown: 8 hours.]
[Durability Description: Get out of the way, you bunch of trash!]
This golden trident was a long-handled weapon. Its specialty was its shockingly high attack. Of course, this was also in line with the characteristics of a two-handed golden weapon. The attack speed of a long-handled weapon was also the slowest among the two-handed weapons.
As for the additional Spear Throw skill, it was undoubtedly one of Boss Casareth's skills. Its effect was outstanding, but he had to be careful not to accidentally injure his allies. Previously, when Bai Xiaowen had scanned Casareth's information, he had wondered if he could use this skill to trick Casareth's teammates. However, this idea didn't come to fruition. The Evil Ghost had already emptied Casareth's Spirit. From the beginning to the end, he had not been able to use this skill.
Other than that, the other two items that had dropped were a four-star Equipment Enhancement Card and a high-grade spirit crystal. Both were good items for equipment enhancement. It was definitely a good draw. Bai Xiaowen had planned to purchase some Equipment Enhancement Cards to upgrade his equipment.
Casareth's treasure chest was a good draw. However, Bai Xiaowen was looking forward to Alici's treasure chest even more. As the chief of the Naga Tribe, and with the insane skill God's Descent, even if Alici was not at the level of a rare leader, she was quite close. The dark gold patterns on the outer shell of her treasure chest were enough to prove that it was extraordinary. It was a grade higher than the treasure chests of normal leaders.
Bai Xiaowen clicked on the first card.
"You have obtained an item: Warning Stone."
[Warning Stone: A grade item. Two stones that have been melted by magic. If one of them is broken, no matter how far away it is, the other will be broken. Can be used across dimensions.]
After seeing this item, Bai Xiaowen remembered the group of lobstermen who were in charge of guarding the circular mountain road entrance of the Ashen Swamp. As a slave race of the Naga Tribe, they should have an Warning Stone in their hands. Once an enemy invaded, they would immediately crush it. After the Naga Tribe's chief, Alici, sensed it, she would immediately send out an order for the Naga Tribe to hide in the internal isolation magic circle.
This was also the reason why the previous Awakened had not discovered the Naga Tribe in the previous explorations of the Dead Soul Lake. In fact, if Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had not glided directly into the Ashen Swamp and discovered the Naga Tribe in advance, it would have been very difficult for him to discover the hidden truth of the Naga Tribe.
For Bai Xiaowen, the Warning Stone did not have any special use for the time being. This item was mainly used to transmit information in the Spiritual Realm. However, it could only transmit the simplest "safety/danger" information. Its value in the exploration of the Spiritual Realm was not high.
After thinking about it, he could only give the Warning Stone to his sister, Xiao Jun, or family members like Li Beihai. Then, when Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi ventured into the Spiritual Realm, they would not be too worried if their return was delayed.
Bai Xiaowen clicked on the second card. With a flash of light, the icon of a gold equipment appeared — it was a wrist guard.
[Matriarch's Wrist Guard (Binds after pickup)]
[Grade: Hero (Gold)]
[Equipment Position: Wrist]
[Equipment Requirements: 15 Base Strength, 20 Base Agility
[Attribute: Strength + 2]
[Additional Skill: Flurry: Passive, Melee Attack Speed increased by an additional 20%.]
[Durability Description: In the matriarchal society of the Naga Tribe, the matriarch must have strong skills to be able to convince the masses.]
This wrist guard was considered a rather good piece of gold equipment. The two points of Strength were only a bonus. The additional 20% attack speed increase was the main enhancement of the Flurry skill. It was important to note that this was a passive skill. The 20% attack speed was permanent.
However, it was a little awkward that Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi did not meet the equipment requirements at the moment. Bai Xiaowen's Basic Agility was lacking by one point, while Li Shuyi's Basic Strength was lacking by one point. In this case, they could only use strengthening potions to increase their Basic Attributes to meet the equipment requirements.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had not used the strengthening potion many times. Bai Xiaowen had used it twice, both times when he was not an Awakened (once to Strength and once to Agility). Li Shuyi had only used it once, so the strengthening success rate was guaranteed.
Since Flurry increased "Melee Attack Speed", this wrist guard was more suitable for Li Shuyi.
Bai Xiaowen clicked on the last gold card and received a notification: "You have obtained an item: Withered Flower Petals."
Bai Xiaowen was stunned. He looked at the withered flower petals in his hand and was speechless. These "Withered Flower Petals" belonged to the miscellaneous category. They were similar to the "Handwritten Underwear" that Bai Xiaowen had obtained after killing the Xiao Bai Special Envoy Elliot Olisfor in the Aaron Plane.
"This chief's gold treasure chest is a little lousy. It only dropped one gold equipment, and it's a wrist guard that isn't that important. The other two are even worse …"
Bai Xiaowen muttered to himself as he kept the items in his storage space.
Bai Xiaowen had attacked the Naga Tribe's altar and killed two BOSSes. In addition to the two gold treasure chests, he had also obtained some offerings from the altar. Among them, there was no need to mention the "Nether Grass" and the "Spirit Hydra Eyeball". Bai Xiaowen had no idea what the remaining two items were, so he had to take a good look.
Among them, there were three sticks of incense. Like the withered flower petals, they were miscellaneous items that did not have much value.
As for the last offering, it was a round stone the size of a fist. It was dull and did not seem to have any value.
Bai Xiaowen frowned. The incense had no value. It could be understood that it was a special item needed for the sacrifice. But would the Naga Tribe use a worthless, ordinary stone as an offering? What was the meaning of this?
Bai Xiaowen used his Insight on the stone and received a notification that 100 Psionic Points had been deducted. His heart skipped a beat. This confirmed one point. This stone was definitely not an ordinary item.
"Isn't it just 100 Psionic Points? I have plenty of money. Pay!"
After Bai Xiaowen paid, the surface of the ordinary round stone glowed faintly. However, after the light dissipated, the description of the round stone remained unchanged. It was still a miscellaneous item.
Then, Bai Xiaowen received a second notification.
"Due to unknown interference, 10000 Psionic Points will be deducted. Do you want to pay? "
"Pfft …"
Bai Xiaowen was about to vomit blood. At the same time, he felt his left eye twitching slightly. There was a slight tingling sensation.
Bai Xiaowen quickly reacted. The "unknown interference" in the notification was probably the interference of the Eye of Evolution. 10,000 Psionic Points had to be deducted to appraise such an ordinary round stone. This proved that the origin of the round stone was far beyond Bai Xiaowen's expectations.
"Pay."
Bai Xiaowen's left eye projected a ray of red light.
The red light projected on the round stone, and something strange happened. On the surface of the round stone, large chunks of dust and stone chips were peeled off. Finally, a green eyeball with a vertical pupil was revealed.
The notification of the Spiritual Realm's rules:
"You've obtained a special item: the Eye of Amotava. This eyeball contains a mysterious and powerful force. "
He had spent 10,000 Psionic Points to buy a simple description and nothing else. Bai Xiaowen held the fist-sized green eyeball with a vertical pupil and frowned as he carefully pondered.
"When the female boss Alici used God's Descent, she seemed to have used this eyeball?" Bai Xiaowen's memory was very good. He quickly recalled.
Could it be that this special item could be used to activate God's Descent? Thinking of the two major aura skills of God's Descent, Despair Aura and Shadow Aura, Bai Xiaowen could not help but feel excited.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and quickly rejected the idea.
This eyeball was indeed a medium to activate God's Descent. However, the essence of God's Descent should be to invite a god to possess the body and borrow part of the god's power. Bai Xiaowen believed that this skill must have a prerequisite, and that was the target's belief in the god, Amotava.
Boss Alici's job class was the Priest of Amotava's Faith. Of course, there was no problem in terms of belief and she could get a response from Amotava. However, if Bai Xiaowen used this skill, Amotava probably would not even hear him. Even if it did, the most it would do was turn over and continue sleeping. It would ignore Bai Xiaowen.
Taking a step back, even if Bai Xiaowen could activate God's Descent, he would not be willing to do so. After activating God's Descent, all his attributes would be reduced by half and it would be a permanent reduction. Unless Amotava returned the life force that was sacrificed …
"At least I can analyze one thing. The Eye of Amotava is a special item that is beyond my current level. It involves the problem of belief and divine power."
Bai Xiaowen solemnly put away the eyeball. He did not think that the 10,000 Psionic Points spent were wasted. It could only be considered an early investment.
Did gods really exist in this world?
If this question was asked in the Christian era, when science was flourishing, most people would give a definite answer: no.
However, in the Psionic Era, the answer to this question was uncertain.
At least, from the devout attitude of the natives of the Spiritual Realm who believed in various gods, there was no doubt that gods existed.
It had been 96 years since the Psionic Era began. The Awakened explored the Spiritual Realm and continued to unearth the secrets of the Spiritual Realm. More and more feedback showed that gods existed. There were even experts who claimed that if humans continued to evolve, they would be able to reach the heights of gods one day.
According to Bai Xiaowen's speculation, gods should only be creatures that had reached a certain level of control over psionic particles. They were still creatures in essence, but their evolutionary level was much higher than that of humans, Awakened, and Evolved Beings. That was all.
Unfortunately, there was very little information about Evolved Beings or even higher-level powerhouses on Earth. Until now, Bai Xiaowen only knew the most basic information. For example, people before level 10 were Awakened Beings and after level 11 were Evolved Beings. It was as if there was an invisible hand that covered up this information.
Not only that, but information about high-level Awakened Beings was also rarely disclosed to intermediate and low-level Awakened Beings.
If there was information from a higher level, Bai Xiaowen should be able to make a more reasonable inference.
"The 10,000 Psionic Points were well spent. Maybe this eyeball can help me unearth some secrets about gods."
