"You're already at Level 6?"
The old monster was shocked. "You've only been an Awakened for a year. This leveling speed … Compared to you, I've lived for 30 years in vain. The Hero class should require a higher amount of experience points. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and didn't explain anything.
Actually, this was normal. An Awakened like the old monster would only go to the Spiritual Realm two or three times in a year. How many times had Bai Xiaowen gone there this year?
Not to mention, every time Bai Xiaowen went to the Spiritual Realm, he could unearth a very difficult mission with a very generous reward. The harvest from one trip to the Spiritual Realm was comparable to eight or ten trips. Qi Ruifeng could brag for a long time after completing an A-level Elite mission in the Incan Plane.
People often said that diligence made up for stupidity, but a diligent genius was something that ordinary people couldn't catch up to.
After killing Tia, Bai Xiaowen and the old monster cleaned up some loose ends. They killed the small rattlesnakes that were attracted by the sound of Tia's flute.
After this battle, the Butcher's bonus HP increased to more than 150 points.
The growth of the Black Soul Stone had reached 912 points of Soul Essence. After returning from the Blacktide Plane, Bai Xiaowen had been busy with Earth's affairs. He didn't kill many Bosses and Elites.
After eliminating the threat of Tia, there were only some Level 1 Desert Rattlesnakes left in Viper Valley. At most, there were a few Level 1 Elites. Bai Xiaowen controlled the Butcher and led the two skeleton swordsmen to sweep through the valley. He opened Tia's treasure chest himself.
Snake Herder Priest Tia was killed. Battle evaluation was A-level. There were three chances to draw loot. Bai Xiaowen felt that this score was a little high. Previously, when he killed a Level 8 Boss, he only got an A-level score.
"Maybe Tia's identity is a little special …" Bai Xiaowen thought of Tia's high-level Boss skill, Edjo's Gift, which had reached Level 2. It was more powerful than the average Level 7 Boss skill.
Fourteen golden cards appeared in front of Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen selected the first card.
[You obtained an item: Snake Herder's Bone Whistle.]
[Snake Herder's Bone Whistle: Rank A Item. After use, all snake-type creatures within a medium range (Spirit * 10, Unit: Meter) will view you as an ally. Lasts for 10 minutes. Disappears after use.]
This was an item with a relatively narrow range of applications. It was only effective against snakes. It was completely incomparable to the A-grade Deceit Talisman that Bai Xiaowen had previously obtained.
However, the Bone Whistle had a group soothing effect, and its duration was much longer than the Deceit Talisman, which was also an advantage.
Bai Xiaowen drew the second item. It was a 'damaged statue'. There was no note on it, only four simple words: Special Item.
Bai Xiaowen turned the statue over and over again.
The statue was a monster with a human body and a snake head. Its body was engraved with some complicated patterns, but most of them had been worn away.
Bai Xiaowen shook the statue and sensed it carefully. He said with certainty, "This statue is just a storage container. There's something inside. "
With a crack, Bai Xiaowen smashed the statue. A tattered, yellowed piece of paper floated down.
Bai Xiaowen grabbed the yellowed piece of paper.
The paper was rough to the touch, like some kind of plant fiber.
The spirit world's laws prompted him. [You obtained a special item: Mysterious Contract.]
"This is paper made from papyrus."
The old demon had lived for a long time and was knowledgeable. After touching the paper, he made a judgment. "This kind of paper is commonly used in the plane worlds of ancient Egypt, Arabia, and Greece. In history, it appeared much earlier than the paper-making technology of ancient Hua Xia."
Bai Xiaowen was more interested in the information on the papyrus. Information that could be preserved like this should be important information.
On the papyrus, there were some simple lines drawn. It looked like a map, but it was not. On the side of the different lines, there were symbols that he could not understand.
"It feels like … some kind of ancient text. I have to go back and check it out."
Bai Xiaowen put the special item: Mysterious Contract into the storage space and then drew a card for the last time. He said with a smile, "It's too shabby to fight a high-level boss and not drop any gold equipment … Hmm?!"
Prompt information:
"You obtained a green equipment: Poison Fang Priest's Robe."
"Green equipment? A set part?! "Bai Xiaowen's mouth was slightly open, a little surprised. He quickly looked at the equipment's attributes.
[Poison Fang Priest's Robe (Bound after pickup)]
[Equipment Grade: Set (Green)]
[Equipment Position: Upper]
[Equipment Requirements: 20 base strength, 20 base agility]
[Attributes: Constitution + 3, Spirit + 3, Magic Resistance + 8]
[Additional Skills: None]
[Durability Note: Edjo's priests will never betray him.]
The old demon was a little surprised. The drop rate of a set was very low. He came over to take a look. "It's a pity that this is the only one. I can't see what the set bonus is like … Usually, there are at least two sets for the first bonus to appear."
Bai Xiaowen smiled happily. "No matter what, it's a good thing to get a set. With the first one, the second one won't be far away."
The old demon shrugged. "Let's not talk about whether you can get another green set. Even if it does, the possibility of it being a set with this one is next to nothing … I think it's more practical for you to prepare your psionic points and buy it."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "This set is obviously related to the god Edjo. Maybe it was dropped by his priest. In this way, won't the range be greatly reduced? "
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said, "Uncle Old Demon, although the official intelligence of Viper Valley was wrong this time, don't make it public. Anyway, I took advantage of it. It's better to keep it a secret. "
The old demon nodded knowingly. "I won't say anything."
After opening the treasure chests, Bai Xiaowen continued to command Fatty and the two skeleton swordsmen. They spent the whole afternoon clearing the remaining poisonous snakes in Viper Valley.
Fatty's maximum HP increased by more than 200 points. The efficiency was amazing. This was mainly the effect of the intelligence. It allowed Bai Xiaowen to go straight to the densely packed monster gathering points, saving a lot of time and energy.
After that, Bai Xiaowen and the old demon drove back. They deliberately slowed down. Along the way, they encountered some lone mutant beasts. They ordered the Butcher to go over and kill them.
They dragged their way until noon the next day. The Butcher's maximum HP was stacked to the maximum. It became a real meat mountain with 600 HP. In terms of resistance, the Butcher was definitely stronger than many of the elite tank-type professions.
However, the Butcher's large body had its disadvantages. It was not like the tank-type hunters who could effectively use a shield to protect themselves or use positioning to avoid attacks and skills.
After returning to Jinghai Base City, Bai Xiaowen handed in the mission at the guild building. He called Li Shuyi and entered the guild's database. He began to search for information about "Edjo".
The snake god Edjo was a god worshipped by the ancient Egyptians. It was also a good god. She protected the Nile Delta region, which was the kingdom of "Lower Egypt" before the unification of Egypt. It wasn't until the ruler of "Upper Egypt", Menes, unified Egypt that Edjo's status gradually changed and was replaced by the god Serapis.
The text recorded on the papyrus was not difficult to understand in the psionic era.
Bai Xiaowen first determined that it was the cursive script of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs (priestly script). Then, through comparison, he found three names recorded on the map. They were:
Moeteh, Amos, Tia.
In addition to these three names, there were some sporadic words that were interpreted and translated as "Silent Tongue".
"This mysterious contract book, as a special item, may play a role similar to a locator in my next spirit world adventure, allowing me to enter the ancient Egyptian plane where Tia came from. If I can find this organization called Silent Tongue, I may be able to get clues about the components of Edjo's suit. "
However, in the near future, Bai Xiaowen did not plan to explore the spirit world. His current plan was to take advantage of the month of the CUAA National Competition to practice his combat specialties and skills. When the National Competition was over, his skills and specialties would be more or less trained. Then, he would think about going to the spirit world.
Of course, in addition to his training, Bai Xiaowen could also start to collect some historical information about ancient Egypt. This was a huge project. In the general knowledge class he had previously learned, there was a general history of the world. The history of ancient Egypt was very long, formed around 4000 BC. The history of its civilization spanned six thousand years, even longer than the ancient Hua Xia.
For example, the first emperor of ancient Egypt, Menes, completed the unification around 3100 BC. During this period, the era of the Five Emperors of ancient Hua Xia had not yet begun.
Unfortunately, the orthodox civilization of ancient Egypt ended in 640 AD. The rule of the Arabs changed everything, including language, writing, and even beliefs. Until modern times, the ancient Egyptian civilization had been replaced by the Arab civilization. In that regard, it was different from the tolerance and integration of ancient Huaxia. Although the central plateaus had been conquered and ruled by aliens before, it was the heritage of the ancient Huaxia civilization that had never changed.
This also led to the lack of historical documents in ancient Egypt, and the spread of the various heroes was not high.
The planes of the various eras formed with ancient Egypt as the blueprint were not as difficult as the planes of ancient Hua Xia.
Returning from the wilderness, Bai Xiaowen's life once again returned to the familiar rhythm. Training with the members of the school team, playing one-on-one live broadcasts, making potions to increase his proficiency. There was also feeding the young eagles One-One and Twenty-Two, as well as sorting out the information of ancient Egypt, and so on. It was busy and fulfilling.
Another weekend, the second round of the knockout round finally began.
Bai Xiaowen and the members of the school team came to the Awakened Association, took the teleportation array, and rushed to the location of Shandong University — Quancheng Base City.
The attention of this game was very high, even higher than the first round. Shandong University was a veteran of the top eight and was by no means a weak team. Jinghai University was a dark horse, sweeping Wannan University to advance. The collision between the two was undoubtedly more eye-catching.
However, before the game, both teams were very low-key. When the captains of both teams were interviewed, they were more humble and did not say anything harsh.
This undoubtedly disappointed the media, which liked to fan the flames. However, at this time, someone jumped out — or rather, was dug up by the media and brought a wave of momentum.
"Jinghai University is not a threat. Our Shanhai University is not like Wannan or Jiangnan. We know Bai Xiaowen's three axes very well. It is not difficult to restrain him! Students of Shanhai University, rest assured that we will give you a hearty victory at home! "
Reporter: Yu Yiguang, working for Jinghai Youth Daily.
Interviewee: Zhang Yubin, Shandong University's main team shooter.
Soon, a reporter took this report to the hotel where Jinghai University was staying and asked for their opinion …
Sure enough, there were young people who could not bear the loneliness and were provoked.
Chen Guowei: "Well, I'm just a substitute. I don't have much right to say … If you want me to say something, we will definitely win. The captain told me to leave some face for the other party, so I restrained myself. Since the other party is so unappreciative, let's give them a good beating! I'm not good at face-slapping, but the captain is very good at it … "
"Wait, let me add, Zhang Yubin, you big —"
The last sentence was ruthlessly cut off.
Bai Xiaowen wanted to laugh when he saw Chen Guowei's interview.
Before entering the auditorium, another reporter came to Bai Xiaowen to stir up trouble. However, he still said the same thing as before. He was confident in his own strength. Of course, the other party was also very strong. The result would only be known after the fight.
At this time, in the home team's lounge, Zhang Yubin was being criticized by the team.
Shi Haiyan: "Boss Bao clearly said to keep a low profile! Why did you say that? "
Mi Yuan: "Now everyone is under pressure … If we lose, we will really be slapped in the face."
A tall girl with slender legs flicked her hair. "It's fine. We're all very low-key. Even if we lose, the one who will be the most embarrassed is Junior Brother Little Zhang …" This tall girl was called Yu Ting. She was an elite spellcaster.
Zhang Yubin's face darkened. "You guys are too dejected …" He looked at Bao Yiming for help. "Boss …"
Bao Yiming's face did not look good either. However, the big battle was imminent. He could not say such depressing words and lower the morale of the team. He coughed and said, "Well … that's about it. Yubin, go back and fight well. As long as the mode of the match isn't too bad, our chances of winning are still quite high. "
After a pause, Bao Yiming said, "Actually, I've wanted to fight with Bai Xiaowen for a long time … Last time at the Dead Soul Lake, I was suppressed by him. He actually dared to send me dog food …"
The bell rang.
