Bai Xiaowen coughed. "Don't laugh. In a small space, this method of searching is very useful."
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to summon a lot of creatures so that everyone could join hands and become friends. That way, the invisible Boss would have nowhere to go …
However, even after using the Sieve to search the entire hall, from the door to the opposite wall, Bai Xiaowen still did not find anything.
This was a little awkward.
Bai Xiaowen stroked his chin. "Could it be that the Boss is not in the hall? That's not right … "
Bai Xiaowen kept glancing at the Bracelet of Misfortune on his left wrist from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he noticed that the facial expression on the Bracelet of Misfortune had changed. It had turned into a panicked face.
"Tsk."
Without any warning, Li Shuyi directly activated the party traction skill. Bai Xiaowen flew into the air and was dragged to Li Shuyi's side. Almost at the same time, the ground beneath Bai Xiaowen's feet cracked. A slender figure in a white robe broke out of the ground, holding a sharp blade as he rose into the air like a top!
If Bai Xiaowen had stayed where he was, he would have been in a sorry state by now.
"I didn't expect him to sneak in from underground. No wonder my experience was wrong … "
The white-robed man, who was the high priest Amos, had a gloomy expression. "How did you dodge? My stealth is flawless, and no one has ever been able to predict my movements! "
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Sorry, speaking of foresight … I seem to be the prophet of a continent. That continent is much bigger than Egypt …"
While talking to the Boss, Bai Xiaowen used Insight.
[Amos (Leader Level 7)]
[Race: Humanoid/Human]
[Class: Viper Priest]
[Attributes: Strength 37, Agility 68, Vitality 29, Spirit 24]
[Skill 1: Underground Ambush: Sneaks into the ground to approach the enemy. Breaks out of the ground beneath the enemy's feet, causing physical damage and launching the enemy into the air.]
[Skill 2: Poisoned Dagger: Passive. Every successful hit causes sharp damage to the target. There will be an additional snake venom effect, reducing all attributes of the target by 10% for 10 seconds. Snake venom effect can be stacked up to a maximum of 5 times.]
[Skill 3: Whirlwind Dual Blades: Omitted]
[Skill 4: Venomous Fang Rain: Throws a small group of venomous snakes into melee range, causing initial poison damage. A certain number of venomous snakes will appear, slowing down and attacking enemies in melee range. The number of venomous snakes is the number of enemies in Amos's melee range.]
[Skill 5: Edjo's Gift LV2: Increase HP by an additional 400 points and increase Tenacity by 40%.]
Amos was an Agility-based Assassin Boss, and the skill he used to evade the Filter of Summoned Creatures and approach Bai Xiaowen was clearly [Stealth Ambush].
Come to think of it, Amos was quite intelligent in battle. Knowing that Bai Xiaowen was the true form of a summoner, he chose Bai Xiaowen as his first target. However, after his Stealth Ambush failed, his threat level plummeted.
Of course, the plummeting threat level was only for Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's elite team, the Terminator Boss.
For the average Awakened, the Whirlwind Dual Blades' increased attack speed and the Poisoned Dagger's reduced attributes complemented each other. Coupled with Amos's high Agility, a few grazes from his blade would be enough to cripple a powerful melee fighter.
The Poisoned Dagger's effect was like a snowball. The more it was hit, the greater the reduction in attributes, and the higher the chance of being hit again.
The charm on Bai Xiaowen's palm flickered, and finally drew a blue light.
With Bai Xiaowen's current Level 6 Meditation, the maximum deviation angle was 30 degrees, and hitting an Agility-based Boss was no problem. Amos still wanted to move, but the blue charm made a slight turn and still hit him with a whistling sound, instantly trapping him in place.
After the charm was cast, Bai Xiaowen ordered the Summoned Creatures to surround the Boss. They were not in a hurry to attack, and stood in a besieging formation so that the Boss could not escape was the most important.
However, the surface of Amos's body flickered faintly, and directly broke free from the shackling control.
Spiritual Realm Precepts notification:
Based on your Gift of Insight, you have received the following combat information …
Hidden Serpent Priest Amos used food: Dried Fig (Additional Priority 3). Overall control removal priority is 7, greater than or equal to the Shackling Charm's priority (7). Shackling status removed!
It took a long time to describe, but in the blink of an eye, Amos had already bypassed the Summoned Creatures, and once again rushed towards Bai Xiaowen.
Li Shuyi, who was standing beside Bai Xiaowen, bent his body and rushed out with all his might. Wild Tackle!
In the instant that he was about to collide with Amos, Li Shuyi swung the blood-red longsword in his right hand, and a fountain of blood gushed out from Amos's body, pouring onto the longsword. The Red Leaf Lord's Glorious Longsword, with the additional skill 'Blood Drain', was swung out!
Amos's Strength value dropped by 12 points, while Li Shuyi's Strength value increased by 12 points! Li Shuyi's Strength value had surpassed that of the Level-7 Agility-type Boss Amos, and sent him flying!
Bai Xiaowen's gunshot rang out. Amos's HP was not full, and the shot did not trigger the Blood Essence Stone's First Blood effect, and the critical hit rate was not full either …
However, this shot had hit a target that could not be defended against, and it first hit a vital point, followed by a penetrative effect, and then luckily triggered a critical hit. The damage was still shocking!
Amos's brow splashed with blood as he roared in pain, but before he landed, Li Shuyi followed up with a normal double-sword attack, followed by Triple Slash!
Swish, swish, swish. Several wounds appeared on Amos's body.
After landing, Amos grunted angrily and began his counterattack. With the passive buff of his Whirlwind Dual Blades, his attack speed was extremely fast. Moreover, as a high-level Boss, his melee and swordsmanship were also extremely strong. Li Shuyi was actually defending more than attacking.
The reason was simple: Li Shuyi did not want to be hit by the opponent, as once hit, all her attributes would be reduced by 10%! Therefore, she had to constantly parry and block the opponent's attacks.
This was the strength of the poisoned dagger skill. Even if it did not hit the opponent, the opponent would still be wary, and would not dare to risk their lives to exchange HP with her.
Fortunately, Li Shuyi was not fighting alone. The Skeleton Warrior swung its greatsword and rushed over with Whirlwind Slash, directly knocking back Amos who was still under the negative status of 'Blood Drain' and 'Strength Drain'!
Using this small opportunity, Li Shuyi followed up with two stabs, stealing a little damage.
The Wrath Claw also pounced behind Amos, swinging its sharp claws. The Shadow Assassin appeared behind Amos, stabbing him in the back and reducing the Boss's HP by another chunk.
"All intruders must die!"
Amos roared and used his ultimate skill, Venomous Fangs. Streaks of fangs pierced through the air, and every enemy around Amos, including Li Shuyi, was slowed. Each of them had a venomous snake coiling around them, opening its jaws to bite.
Amos then used this opening to dash out, his figure suddenly accelerating as he rushed towards Bai Xiaowen.
His target had always been Bai Xiaowen, and that had never changed!
However, Bai Xiaowen had already seen through his ultimate skill that could slow down an entire group, and did not send all of her summoned creatures over from the start! Two skeletal sword-shieldbearers met the attack, and with the help of the Necromancer's Phantom skill, Amos was once again restrained.
Phantom skills depended on the strength of both parties, and with Amos as the target, he could only be restrained for an instant. Still, this successfully slowed Amos, and Bai Xiaowen then shot him in the head again, triggering the special effect of the Blood Essence Stone!
Amos did his best to kill the two skeletal sword-shieldbearers, but Li Shuyi, the Wrath Claw, and the others had already shaken off the venomous snakes and rushed over again.
Amos fell to the ground with a thud.
As an agility-type Boss, Amos's HP was less than 700 even with the boost from his advanced leader skills, and his armor and magic resistance were low as well. His failure in his first ambush meant that he was destined to die quickly, and would not cause any trouble for Bai Xiaowen and the others.
Hence, a golden chest materialized over Amos's corpse.
"Don't open it for now …" Bai Xiaowen put away the treasure chest. "I have an immature idea … hmm, let's finish this elite quest first."
Li Shuyi nodded, obediently not asking any questions at such a critical juncture. After putting away the summoned creatures, the two quickly moved through the upper levels of the Serpent God's underground palace, and soon found the last priest's name marked on the map — the hall of Moaiteh.
But this time, they were really empty-handed: there was no one in the hall.
Another group of Elite Cultists had arrived, and this time there were fourteen of them.
"Don't let these sinners go!"
"They killed Lord Amos! Let them pay with their blood! "
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath in the face of the incessant cries.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
Ten thousand mana points were instantly charged into the Kusanagi Sword, and Bai Xiaowen's right hand ignited with his signature flame radiance once more. With a swipe of his left hand and a slap of his right, Esoteric Giant Serpent surged forward with a roar, drowning the fourteen Elite Cultists in flames once more.
Once the Giant Serpent's duration was over, it was time to happily collect heads. The Cultists, whose attributes had been reduced by half due to the burn status, could not resist at all and were killed one after another.
After collecting all the treasure chests, Li Shuyi asked, "What should we do now?"
"Moaiteh should be in the lower levels of the underground palace. Let's go. "
Bai Xiaowen scanned the hall with his spirit, and led Li Shuyi out of the door. After turning left and right in the upper levels of the underground palace, they soon arrived at a spiral staircase that led downwards.
As they ran down the stairs, Bai Xiaowen said simply.
"According to the priest's confession, the upper levels of the underground palace are mainly used to guard against enemy invasion, so there are many traps and dead ends. However, the lower levels of the underground palace are where the Golden Serpent Disc is placed, so there aren't so many winding corridors … "
In just a few words, the two had arrived at the lower levels of the underground palace.
The first thing they saw was an empty underground hall, with snake-shaped reliefs and patterns on the walls. In the middle of the hall, there was an altar. A pure white mirror-like disc with a golden serpent coiled around it was suspended above the altar.
The disc emitted a soft glow, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item. This must be the mission target, the Golden Serpent Disc.
On the other side of the Golden Serpent Disc, a light lingered, and it was connected to a tall, burly man with half of his chest exposed. Beneath the man's feet was a giant python lazily coiled up. Judging from the size of this python, it was even thicker than Tia's pythons.
"This man should be High Priest Moaiteh, right?" Li Shuyi whispered. "The Golden Serpent Disc should be on the altar. What should we do?"
"Go, kill him."
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, and the Wrath Claw and the Skeleton Warriors rushed out.
Bai Xiaowen, on the other hand, shot at the Golden Snake Disc.
With a clear hum, three snake-shaped imprints appeared on the surface of the Golden Serpent Disc. Two of the imprints had already dimmed, and only the imprint in the middle was still glowing.
This shot did not destroy the Golden Serpent Disc. Bai Xiaowen received a further notification.
"The Golden Serpent Disc is connected to the spiritual imprints of High Priest Moaiteh, Amos, and Tia. You must erase the three spiritual imprints in order to destroy the disc. "
"It's just as I thought …" Bai Xiaowen looked at High Priest Moaiteh.
At this moment, the Wrath Claw and the Skeleton Warriors had already arrived. High Priest Moaiteh, who had been praying with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and let out a roar.
"Submit to the majesty of the Serpent God!"
[Moaiteh (Leader Level 7)/Power Prayer State]
[Race: Humanoid/Human]
[Profession: Python Priest]
[Attributes: Strength 83 (73 + 10), Agility 35 (25 + 10), Constitution 48 (38 + 10), Spirit 29 (19 + 10)]
[Skill 1: Python Contract: Passive: Python Basha has signed a contract with Moaiteh to fight for him. Activating the Python Contract will allow Moaiteh to fuse with Basha and obtain 20% of Basha's Strength and Agility attributes, as well as all of his remaining maximum HP. When the HP lost from the fusion reaches Basha's remaining HP, the fusion will be automatically canceled.]
[Skill 2: Earth-shattering Slam: Omitted.]
[Skill 3: Corrosive Strike: Choose a target within melee range to corrode 20% of the target's armor and cause physical damage equivalent to a normal attack. Corrosive Strike has no cooldown.]
[Skill 4: Counter Storm: Passive: After Moaiteh receives a certain amount of physical damage, it will trigger Counter Storm, causing physical damage to all enemies within melee range. Activating Counter Storm will allow Moaiteh to be immune to physical attacks or skills below Priority (7) for three seconds. After the skill ends, it will cause physical damage and stun all surrounding enemies.]
[Skill 5: Edjo's Gift Level 3: Increase HP by an additional 500 points and gain 50% Toughness.]
As for the Power Prayer State, it was an additional buff with a very powerful effect. All attributes + 10!
"This High Priest Moaiteh should be the overall leader of the Silent Tongue Cult."
Moaiteh was already very powerful, at least more powerful than Amos and Tia. The general leader skill, Edjo's Gift, had reached Level 3, so he was definitely at the level of the overall leader.
