Despite his doubts, Ahon's body was honest and chose to follow Bai Xiaowen.
"Let's talk as we walk …" Bai Xiaowen began to explain. "Let's assume that the words on the right are true, then regardless of whether the words on the left are true or false, they can't be established.
"If the words on the left are true, then the words on both sides are true. The 'truth' on the left is' one sentence is the truth, and the other is a lie, 'so it can't be established.
"If the words on the left are false, then the words on both sides are true and false. The 'lie' on the left is originally one true and one false, so it can't be a lie. Therefore, this is a paradox. It's impossible no matter how you look at it.
"Therefore, the words on the right must be a lie. It says it's a dead end, but it's actually a path to life. The words on the left are true, but it's a dead end. That's it. "
Ahon (dumbfounded.jpg): "… Did you really think of all this in less than a second?"
"It's okay. It's a relatively simple logical deduction." Bai Xiaowen pretended, but the truth was that he had only spent 0.1 seconds thinking about the question of truth and falsehood.
Bai Xiaowen and the other two continued to walk deeper into the Latent Shadow Maze and encountered new forks.
Under the illumination of the "Light of Forgiveness" emitted by the Eye of Amotava, a specious logical problem would appear at each fork, making the three of them think about which path to take.
With the existence of the BUG, Bai Xiaowen, the originally complicated forks in the road became a smooth road.
While hurrying along, Bai Xiaowen and Ahon had some exchanges, and Bai Xiaowen learned some of Ahon's past.
With Bai Xiaowen's thick skin, the two of them became much closer to each other, and there was no need for them to address each other as "Mr." or "Your Excellency".
"Ahon, why are you the sheriff of Hodge Town when you're so skilled?"
Bai Xiaowen didn't say anything. Generally, the sheriff of a small town was mostly an elite model, and only in the capital of a kingdom would they be a leader model. Ahon was obviously stronger than a leader of the same level, so he shouldn't be in a place like Hodge Town.
Ahan said, "Hodge Town is my hometown."
"Wow, I see. Besides, there's a girl in your hometown that you've been thinking about day and night, right? "Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
Ahon replied seriously, "I met Jenny after I returned to my hometown."
"Then what did you do before?"
"In the past … I was a mercenary."
Ahon hesitated for a moment. Then, he probably felt that Bai Xiaowen was a partner he could entrust his life to, so he didn't hide anything. "I'm a member of the Sword of Fire."
After Ahan said the words "Sword of Raging Flames", he didn't continue to explain. He probably felt that these words were enough.
A moment of silence.
Bai Xiaowen blinked. "Sword of Fire? Wow, it must be very famous, right? "
Ahan: "… Haven't you heard of the Sword of Fire?"
Seeing Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's innocent expressions, Ahan showed a touch of embarrassment and then sighed. "That's right. After all, it's all in the past. Glory will eventually be forgotten … But your memory is too bad. The Sword of Fire was only disbanded ten years ago."
The honest man Ahan thought for a moment and couldn't help but add, "Are you from the Blacktide Continent or not?"
Bai Xiaowen was a little embarrassed and tried to salvage the situation. "I just turned 18 this year …"
Li Shuyi joined in. "I just turned 17 …"
"Okay, so that's how it is." Ahan was relieved. Ten years ago, when the Sword of Fire mercenary group was at its peak and their name spread across the entire continent, this pair of siblings was only seven or eight years old. Moreover, they were orphans from a small coastal town like Hodge Town, so it was reasonable that they had never heard of the Sword of Fire.
"Tell me, how many people are in your mercenary group? Are they all as strong as you?" Bai Xiaowen asked with interest.
Ahan said very modestly, "They are much stronger than me. I'm just a brute with more strength."
"Ahan, I want to discuss something with you," Bai Xiaowen said. "If we encounter an enemy on the way, you don't have to do anything unless Charlotte and I can deal with them, okay?"
Ahan looked at Bai Xiaowen in confusion. "Why? You're responsible for solving puzzles and guiding the way, and I'm responsible for dealing with the enemy. It's fair and reasonable. "
"Well, Charlotte and I aren't good at it, so we have to practice more," Bai Xiaowen said. "We have to accumulate more combat experience so that we can grow faster and meet the imminent threat of the Blacktide Continent."
At that time at the Owl Pier, Ahan had beheaded the Level 7 Boss, Claremont. Bai Xiaowen's heart had truly ached … What he felt pained about wasn't Claremont's life, but rather the contribution points and the treasure chest.
However, he didn't have a close relationship with Ahan at that time, and Ahan was on the verge of going berserk, so he naturally couldn't stop him.
Ahan accepted Bai Xiaowen's words very well. This was because the growth of people in the spiritual world, in addition to innate talent, also required actual combat experience to continuously improve. Only when one reached a certain realm and settled down would the effects of actual combat gradually become less obvious.
A cacophony of noises could be heard from the side of the tunnel.
"Enemies!" Ahan's first reaction was to draw his sword, but when he thought of what Bai Xiaowen had just said, he slowly sheathed his heavy sword.
A group of snake-people monsters appeared in front of Bai Xiaowen.
Before they appeared, Bai Xiaowen had already sensed them with his spirit scan, so he spoke up at the last minute and asked Ahan not to steal his contribution points.
At first, Bai Xiaowen thought that the enemies would be powerhouses on the level of Gerald or Leona, but after seeing them clearly, Bai Xiaowen could only shake his head in disappointment.
It was a group of elite-level snake-people. Although they were all high-level elites above level-7, their templates were there, and they were equivalent to the likes of Benny and Jide of the Crow Organization. They were simply not presentable.
Of course, in Bai Xiaowen's eyes, these elite-level monsters were hard to deal with for ordinary awakened ones. They would need several awakened ones to gang up on them to defeat them, and they would be at a great disadvantage in a one-on-one fight.
If you took into account the level suppression, for example, an ordinary level-5 awakened one would be lucky to escape from a level-7 or level-8 elite.
Out of respect for high-level monsters, Bai Xiaowen still used Insight.
Compared to the Swamp Snake-People in the Dead Soul Lake and the isolation circle in the Revenant Sinkhole, these snake-people were called Deep-sea Snake-People. The difference in their skills was that they lacked the general defensive skill called Mud Shell, but had an additional skill called Snake Dance.
[Snake Dance: Passive skill. The Deep-sea Snake-People's agile bodies increase their evasion rate against physical attacks by an additional 20%.]
In addition, as high-level elites, these Deep-sea Snake-People had additional HP ranging from 150 to 200 points, which made their HP bars quite long.
However, although they were much stronger than the Swamp Snake-People in the Dead Soul Lake, they were still no match for Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi.
The two elite creatures, Skeleton Warrior and Kitts, charged at the front. One had great strength, while the other had a passive skill called Lifesteal, so they had no problem holding back the Snake-People. Behind them, the Necromancer and Bai Xiaowen provided long-range support. The frequent paralysis and interruptions caused the Deep-sea Snake-People's attacks to become scattered and disorderly.
The single attack of the high-level elite Deep-sea Snake-People was still very powerful. However, without a unified command, there was no focus fire, so it was very difficult for Bai Xiaowen's side to lose members.
Bai Xiaowen monitored the battle. When the Skeleton Warrior and Kitts' HP bars were in danger, he would send out the Wrath Claw and the Skeleton Sword-Shieldbearers to help. Under his control and command, basically all the firepower was aimed at the same Snake-Person.
One Snake-Person fell, then the second, the third … Just like toppling dominoes, it would get easier and easier.
The remaining three Snake-People were somewhat afraid.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand, and the three Skeleton Sword-Shieldbearers appeared behind the Snake-People. His control was perfect. The three Snake-People were about to turn around and run for their lives, but their escape route was blocked. In this narrow labyrinth tunnel, there was no one to help them.
One of the Elite Snake-People with low HP took out a Roaring Conch, put it in its mouth, and blew into it. The low sound spread far and wide.
Li Shuyi followed up with a stab, stabbing the last Snake-Person to the ground and dropping a silver treasure chest.
There were six Snake-People in total, and two silver treasure chests were dropped. Li Shuyi quickly picked up the treasure chests. After all, Ahon couldn't see the treasure chests and only saw Li Shuyi bending down. He thought that Li Shuyi was searching the corpses of the monsters, so he naturally didn't make a fuss.
"That Snake-Person just now should be calling for reinforcements. There might be some powerful guys coming, like Gerald and the others in the Round Table Hall, "Ahon said.
Bai Xiaowen laughed. "It's good that they're coming. If there are only a few of them, we can just kill them. If all four of them come, we'll still have the acceleration effect, so we can just slip away. "As an S-rank item, Marching Stratagem's acceleration effect lasted for 60 minutes.
When Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had just killed the Elite Snake-People, they would rather spend more time wearing them down than using their "big moves," which they had prepared for the Snake-People bosses.
Moreover, Bai Xiaowen not only ran fast with the buff of Marching Stratagem, but also had strong combat strength, mainly thanks to the effect of "Stamina Consumption Halved." Thinking about it, Rou Orochi, which used to consume stamina, could only release one shot, but now he could release two shots! Not to mention other skills like Dark Brush.
The three of them ran for a while, but the expected Snake-People reinforcements didn't appear. Even Ahon was a little doubtful that he had made a mistake in his judgment.
When they reached the end of the tunnel, they saw an open space in front of them. This was actually one of the many halls in the Latent Labyrinth, like a hub connecting different tunnels.
"Be careful, I smell danger." Ahon's face was serious. He pulled out his two-handed epee and looked around vigilantly.
"Hello, I've finally caught you, you cunning rats."
Following this voice, a tall and strong Snake-Person appeared in front of them. It was Milo, one of the four Snake-People leaders under the mysterious consciousness.
At the same time, rustling sounds came from behind. Bai Xiaowen, who had Spirit Scan, didn't need to look to know that another Snake-People leader, the coquettish Snake Woman Leona, was behind them.
"Only the two of you?" Bai Xiaowen used Insight and said, "I'm afraid the two of you are no match for us."
[Milo (Leader Level 8)]
[Race: Humanoid/Snake-People]
[Profession: Amotava Warrior of Faith]
[Attributes: Strength 70, Agility 34, Constitution 52, Spirit 22]
[Skill 1: Current Slam: Omitted]
[Skill 2: Spear Throw: Omitted]
[Skill 3: Frenzied Cleave: Milo wildly swings his trident, causing heavy damage to all targets in front of him. Targets with lower Strength than Milo will be knocked back.]
[Skill 4:???]
[Skill 5: Abyss Infusion Level 2: Health increases by an additional 400 points, duration of abnormal statuses or control effects reduced by 40%.]
This Milo, his profession was exactly the same as Casares in the treasure space of the Dead Soul Lake. Even the skills detected were the same. The only difference was that there was an additional fan-shaped AOE skill, Frenzied Cleave, and a Level 2 Advanced Leader general skill.
The one who came from behind was Leona.
[Leona (Leader Level 8)]
[Race: Humanoid/Snake-People]
[Profession: Amotava Charming Priestess]
[Attributes: Strength 29, Agility 33, Constitution 40, Spirit 74]
[Skill 1: Charming Serpent Dance: Passive effect, Leona has an additional 20% dodge rate. Active use of this skill will reduce the hit rate of enemies who stare at Leona by an additional 50%. This skill requires continuous casting action, can be stopped at any time, and has no cooldown.]
[Skill 2: Enchanting Figure: When Leona uses this skill, enemies within range will have a chance to have a Test of Will every 10 seconds. If they do not pass the test, they will be forced to stare at Leona. If they pass the Test of Will, they will not be affected by Leona's skill for 10 seconds, and will have an additional 10% during the next Test of Will.]
[Skill 3:???]
[Skill 4:???]
[Skill 5: Abyss Infusion Level 2: Omitted.]
"This little fairy …"
Bai Xiaowen secretly complained. If Leona's skill was not included, her face would not be considered beautiful in the eyes of a normal person. Just the fine scales on the side of her face and neck were enough to make one's hair stand on end.
Of course, Leona's body was still very good, especially the indescribable parts of her upper body that were almost naked. Other than the scales, there were only two shells on her body, and it was almost against the rules.
After seeing the skills of the two leaders, Bai Xiaowen began to think of a strategy. If Leona did not have any offensive spells, then using the Evil Ghost would be a good choice. The battle with Casares had already proved that the Evil Ghost was the natural nemesis of violent warriors with low Spirit.
