When they arrived at the second floor of the mausoleum, it was even colder here, and the lingering effect of the Yin energy was even stronger. Their HP, stamina, mental power, and so on had all been reduced to zero.
On the other hand, the undead summoned creatures seemed to have returned home. Bathed in the Yin energy, the HP lost in the previous battle was quickly recovering.
When the two of them stepped on the floor of the second floor, the stairs behind them suddenly flashed with white light. A layer of transparent light film appeared, sealing the entrance of the stairs.
"What's going on? If we don't complete the mission, we can't get out of the mausoleum? "Li Shuyi wondered.
Bai Xiaowen frowned. "I'm not sure yet." He habitually looked at his left wrist.
"The first room on the second floor … doesn't seem to have any enemies." Li Shuyi first looked through the dim light of the moss on the second floor and sighed.
"No, that's not right!"
Bai Xiaowen saw the pattern on the Wristband of Misfortune. It was actually a panicked face! This represented a serious danger. The slightest carelessness could lead to death.
Before entering battle mode, Bai Xiaowen directly recalled all the summoned creatures and then began a range search with his mental power.
Recalling summoned creatures before a battle was a basic operating habit. This way, after entering battle, they could use fixed-point airdrops. Not only could they block skills, but they could also airdrop melee creatures to surround and kill long-range enemies, seizing the rhythm of the battle.
After searching with his mental power, Bai Xiaowen's expression changed slightly.
A slightly proud voice sounded. "I knew a rat had come in."
From the west door, three figures walked out. It was Prince Richard and his two leader-level guards.
At the same time, two groups of people walked out from the east and north doors respectively. The north side was Merda Dean and the coarse nun, while the east side was Gloria, Grand Swordsman Carlisle, and Gloria.
Beside them were several palace guards under Lord Gloria, as well as a dozen halberd-wielding royal guards led by Prince Richard.
Eight leader-level powerhouses and nearly twenty elites blocked the three narrow doors on the second floor of the underground mausoleum.
In such a situation, if an ordinary Awakened did not have a Town Portal Scroll, they could only die.
Bai Xiaowen knew that he had underestimated the abilities of these leaders. Perhaps it was the easy completion of the surprise attack on Northshire that made him subconsciously underestimate this dimension.
In any case, the eight leaders were a tyrannical force that Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's team could not resist, not to mention the dozen elite guards.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the stairs behind him from the corner of his eyes.
Dean Melda said coldly, "Don't even think about it. I've already reactivated the seal on the second floor of the mausoleum. You can't escape."
Gloria, who was on the east side, asked in confusion, "It's you?"
Under the dim light of the moss, it could be seen that Gloria's expression was very subtle. There was confusion and surprise.
"Gloria, do you know this intruder?" Dean Melda asked.
Gloria nodded slightly. "This person is Dior Si Kail Bloom."
The Dean of Merda's eyes suddenly lit up. "Dior Si Kail Bloom? Is he the outsider who stole the evil soul stone? "
Galantis, who was at the side, also reacted. She screamed, "It's you, Dio Skelbloom! The wanted criminal in the North, you murdered Baron Elliot Olisfor! "
Prince Richard was stunned for a moment, then a playful smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect the thief of the soul stone to show himself. Could it be that you're still not satisfied after stealing the evil spirit stone and want to get your hands on it … Hmm, you must have been influenced by the spirit stone and become evil and depraved. "
"Your Highness, this person is an important member of the rebel army! In the battle when the rebel army broke through the North County, his hands were stained with the blood of countless Imperial Army soldiers. This is a butcher, an executioner! " Glantis's eyes were burning with anger, and both new and old grudges were surging in her heart. She said in a shrill voice, "It's really the Lord of Light's blessing to send him to us. Your Highness, you must not let him go! "
"Wait! This is an outsider. Before he dies, we must make him hand over the evil soul stone! "Merda said loudly.
Gloria nodded. "Yes, he doesn't belong to our plane. If we kill him, we won't be able to find the soul stone from his body. We must make him hand it over voluntarily."
After a pause, Gloria said, "Also, be careful. He has the ability to teleport between planes. Two years ago in the frozen tomb, he escaped from my hands like this and returned to his own world."
After hearing this, Merda's face turned serious.
"Don't worry," Prince Richard said slowly. "Our royal family has records of outsiders... First of all, interdimensional teleportation is not something that can be done at will. These outsiders have to meet certain conditions before they can cross the plane. Otherwise, they have to use some kind of precious magic item to cross the plane. Secondly, it is a very bad choice for these outsiders to cross planes and return. It is as if some kind of punishment will befall them. "
Li Shuyi's face was a little pale. Prince Richard seemed to know a lot about the Awakened.
Bai Xiaowen was very relaxed. He smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I happen to have the precious magic item you mentioned."
As he spoke, Bai Xiaowen took out the Return Scroll in his hand. At his signal, Li Shuyi also showed her Town Portal Scroll.
Merda frowned and looked at the Highlord, Gloria, with a trace of inquiry in her eyes.
Gloria was a little reluctant. After carefully sensing, she could only nod and say, "Yes, I can feel the fluctuation of spatial energy from those two magic scrolls. There is more than a 90% chance that it is the item that His Highness said can be used to cross planes by force. "
"Alright, I think we can talk about it," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
The basis of negotiation was that neither side had the ability to destroy the other, but both sides had the interest of the other.
However, Prince Richard snorted. "I have nothing to talk about with you. Everyone, don't waste any more time. Kill these two intruders … or, at least, force them to leave our world. "
The two leader-level guards behind Prince Richard were ready to make a move.
"Wait!" Merda said hurriedly. "Since we can't get the soul stone by force, I think there is a need for negotiation. Gloria, what do you think? "
Gloria nodded and said to Bai Xiaowen, "Please hand over the evil soul stone, and I will ask His Highness to let you go."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Let me go? I can leave at any time. I can give you the soul stone, but you are offering almost nothing. I don't see any sincerity. "
Gloria took a breath and persuaded from another angle. "Why are you so obsessed with the evil soul stone? Your nature is not evil. When I first met you, you stood up to protect your friends, facing enemies and unknown powerful beings … This is a virtue that many knights do not have. Greed made you steal the soul stone, but its power is too evil. It will only make you fall, like Falgar, crazy. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Miss Gloria, do you think I am crazy now?"
Gloria looked at Bai Xiaowen carefully.
Bai Xiaowen's charm came into play again. This young man with slender eyebrows and starry eyes exuded a "handsome" temperament from head to toe. It was hard to equate him with the crazy Falgar.
Gloria lowered her eyelids. "I … can't see it yet."
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "The soul stone only gives me a kind of power. There is no distinction between good and evil. If I use it on the right path, it is good. If I use it on the wrong path, it is evil."
Merda said in a deep voice, "The real evil often does not show on the surface."
The coarse nun behind Merda said loudly, "Yes, Gloria, don't be fooled by this boy. Granny once said that the more good-looking a man is, the more likely he is to lie. "
Bai Xiaowen was planning to fool Gloria, whom he had not seen for a long time, but the coarse nun exposed him. He was embarrassed.
Merda said, "Let's cut to the chase. What will it take for you to hand over the soul stone?"
Bai Xiaowen secretly looked around and said, "That depends on your sincerity."
Merda took a breath and said, "I can use the 'God's Gift Page' to exchange with you!"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was shocked.
Gloria could not help but say, "Dean, didn't you tell me that the 'God's Gift Page' is gone? Because of this, I have to stop my mission … "
Merda said lightly, "Even if I give you another chance to cross the plane, you will not be able to complete the mission. The 'God's Gift Page' is so precious that I don't want to waste it."
"Wait … Shouldn't you tell me first what the 'God's Gift Page' is?" Bai Xiaowen certainly did not refuse this kind of free information.
Merda said, "The 'God's Gift Page' is actually a holy parchment stained with the divine aura of the Lord of Light. This kind of page contains powerful energy and can be used to make extremely powerful magic scrolls. With the 'God's Gift Page', a third-rate Inscription Master can produce results comparable to that of a Great Inscription Master, and a Great Inscription Master with superb skills can even use the power contained in the 'God's Gift Page' to create a miracle scroll that can break through the plane barrier … "
Bai Xiaowen was shocked because he received a prompt message from the spiritual world's rules:
"You have learned important information about the 'God's Gift Page' from the spiritual world's characters."
"Special Elite Side Mission: Scavenger, activated."
"Mission Objective: Find the hand bone sealed in the Light Pass and destroy the sealing spell."
"Mission Difficulty: SS."
"Mission Duration: None (equivalent to the remaining time you stay in the Aaron Plane World)."
"Mission Reward: Ancient Divine Power Residue."
[Ancient Divine Power Residue: The embers of the power of the fallen gods. After use, it can increase the potential of the Awakened and immediately obtain free attribute points equivalent to the user's level. Every time the profession level is upgraded, it will randomly increase by 1 to 3 additional free attribute points. Bound after pickup.]
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath. The value of this reward was really not low. Not to mention the free attribute points that were directly added, the growth in the later stages alone was tempting enough. If it was a European King, it would be equivalent to an additional 3 points of growth every time he leveled up.
At the high-level Awakened stage, 3 points of attribute points were not necessarily heaven-defying, but it was important to note that the attributes added by leveling up were all "basic attributes"!
Many of the gold equipment dropped in high-level planes were very good, but the requirements for basic attributes were getting higher and higher. Many times, there would be situations where the basic attributes were insufficient. Even if the strengthening potion was taken, there would be times when the limit could not be made up. In this way, increasing free attribute points became very precious.
Receiving the mission prompt, including thinking about these things, seemed to take a long time, but in Bai Xiaowen's mind, only 0.1 seconds passed, and he immediately accepted this SS elite level scavenger mission.
Merda saw Bai Xiaowen's expression clearly, but she obviously misunderstood — Bai Xiaowen was not interested in the God's Bestowed Page, but was interested in the reward of the scavenger mission!
"The God's Bestowed Page is at the Light Pass. If you are willing to agree, we can go directly to the Light Pass to trade. But first, we have to sign a contract and swear to the gods, "Merda said.
Go to the Light Pass?
Bai Xiaowen could not ask for more. But swearing to the gods, which was the notarization of the rules of the Spiritual Realm, Bai Xiaowen absolutely could not agree. Not to mention the importance of the black soul stone to him, even if Bai Xiaowen wanted to give it, there was no way he could hand over the black soul stone, which was exclusive equipment.
Bai Xiaowen could only use deception tactics: "I can agree, but I have to see the God's Bestowed Page before I can swear."
"Okay …"
But Merda only said one word before she was rudely interrupted.
"He will not give you the soul stone!" Prince Richard snorted heavily. "This kind of trade is purely a waste of time. I want to finish my mission as soon as possible. Only after checking that the seal is intact will I lead the army to reclaim the North County. "
This sentence was obviously said to Lord Glantis.
Merda's expression changed, and she tried to stop him: "Your Highness, we should be more patient …"
Glantis took a breath: "North Palace guards, listen to my orders, kill these two rebels!" In the end, her purpose was only to use Prince Richard's power to reclaim the North County. The evil soul stone was meaningless to her.
A few palace guards quickly rushed over. At the same time, the halberd-wielding royal guards under Prince Richard also rushed over.
Bai Xiaowen laughed: "You can't stop me with just you!"
An extremely strong pressure spread out, Bai Xiaowen instantly activated the Deterrence skill! While everyone was in a daze, he and Li Shuyi went straight to the north door, which was where Dean Merda was.
The high-ranking leaders all had the Resilience skill, and the duration of the Deterrence skill was extremely short. When Bai Xiaowen approached the north door, the leaders in the field had already recovered from the Fear/Stun status.
"Stop him!" Prince Richard shouted angrily.
However, Merda and the coarse nun seemed to rush up to Bai Xiaowen, but in fact, they were slightly dodging to the side, watching Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi rush through the door and disappear into the darkness.
"Dean Merda, our deal is still valid!" Bai Xiaowen laughed loudly, his voice getting further and further away.
