Over time, the valley where the Dragon's Tomb was located became a taboo, leaving only a legend in the Northern Region.
This legend lasted until 300 years ago.
Lionheart King Tibron rose to power and formed an alliance with the seven Grand Dukes. He fought in all directions and began his journey to unify the Yalun Continent. The legendary Grand Duke in charge of the crusade against the Viking Kingdom in the Northern Region — Knight Lord Kevin Des — finally captured the capital of the Northern Region — North County City after a bitter battle.
Grand Duke Kevin Des had also heard of the rumors of the Dragon's Tomb. Unlike the other adventurers, this Grand Duke was not only greedy and curious, but also had a powerful ability to carry out his orders. He led the Lionheart Empire's first invincible army into the Dragon's Tomb and massacred the Dragon's descendants guarding it, taking away a large number of Dragon's treasures.
In order to commemorate Grand Duke Kevin Des' military achievements, the valley where the Dragon's Tomb was located was called "Kevin Des' Valley."
Following that, sporadic adventurer teams also followed in an attempt to take advantage of the situation and eat the leftovers left behind by Grand Duke Kevin Des. It was like a gold rush. There were always lucky people who picked up the treasures that were left behind, but most of them came up empty-handed.
Although the Dragon's descendants were greatly injured and fled, they did not die out. After decades of reproduction, they returned to the Dragon's Tomb.
At this time, the Dragon's Tomb had lost its value of attracting adventurers. Due to the revival of the Dragon's descendants, it was gradually forgotten.
The Dragon's bones in the Dragon's Tomb were relatively rare. Most of them had been moved away by Grand Duke Kevin Des' army. Dragon bones were high-grade materials for making armor. If not for the fact that the Dragon's bones were too old and unsuitable for making armor, not a single Dragon's bone would be left here.
In the previous battles, a large number of Dragon's descendants, Empire soldiers, and adventurers had died here. Their bones made up the majority. Therefore, Kevin Des' Valley had another nickname, "Burial Ground," which meant that many homeless souls were buried here.
…
Kevin Des' Valley.
The heavy snow dyed the valley with a layer of silvery-white. The huge rift valley, which was thousands of meters wide and had no end in sight, was completely covered by a thick layer of ice and snow.
The White Phoenix team followed the Undead Army led by Gloria and advanced in the wide ice plains of the rift valley. After nearly ten hours of trekking, they finally arrived at the Burial Ground.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention and to save time, the number of undead in this operation was reduced by a lot. They only brought those agile, fast, and inconspicuous undead, such as ghosts, spider demons, and other agile elites. They all had the ability to turn invisible.
Bai Xiaowen deeply felt that the [A +] Elite Side Mission this time was not simple. This was because over thirty Elite Undead would assist him in completing this mission! The Dragon's Tomb's Difficulty, Des' Des's Dragon's Dragon's Valley Dragon's Valley.
As for the other Undead monsters, they were hibernating in a hidden ice cave at the foot of the Northshire Monastery under Gloria's orders.
, Time, Rui Rurui, Dragon's,'s and Des Rurui Lu...... Rururui Rururui Day. Qiao Rui, in particular, had to explain her strengths and weaknesses to Bai Xiaowen one by one.
What Bai Xiaowen was most interested in was Qiao Rui's "Soul Rhythm." This was a weakening skill that reduced all the enemy's attributes, up to 25%.
Qiao Rui's Hero Class equipment was actually the weapon she was holding: Soul Bamboo Flute. The Soul Bamboo Flute was the same as Bai Xiaowen's Black Soul Stone. It came with a "skill tree" called Sound Attack Array.
The first level of Sound Attack Array: Breaking Scale. The damage was not high, but the cooldown time was very short and the consumption of mental strength was very low. It was equivalent to a basic mental attack spell.
The second level of Sound Attack Array: Forbidden Scale. This was a field skill that needed to be prepared in advance. After the enemy entered the range of the Forbidden Scale, the caster could choose whether to trigger it, and the enemy would be immobilized.
The third level of Sound Attack Array: Soul Rhythm. This was a powerful support skill, but the consumption of mental strength was also very high.
When activating Soul Rhythm, Qiao Rui needed to consume 10 points of mental strength. Then, she needed to continue consuming mental strength. For the first three seconds, she would consume 1 point of mental strength per second. For every three seconds of Soul Rhythm, the consumption of mental strength would increase by 2 points per second. This would accumulate over the course of the battle.
The specific effect of Soul Rhythm was that while she was playing, the surrounding enemies would be stacked with one layer of Weakness every second. There was a total of five layers. Each layer would weaken the enemy's attributes by 5%.
Based on this calculation, with Qiao Rui's current 68 points of mental strength, she could only play Soul Rhythm for a maximum of ten seconds. If she was interrupted during this period and had to start playing again, she would need to consume an additional 10 points of mental strength. This would further reduce the playing time.
Fortunately, even if she stopped playing, the Weakness effect on the enemy would last for a full ten seconds before disappearing.
Based on this, Qiao Rui had already come up with an intermittent playing technique. At the beginning, she would play for five seconds. After stacking five layers of Weakness on the enemy, she could pause for ten seconds. Before the Weakness effect disappeared, she would consume another 10 points of mental strength to play for one second. Then, she would pause for another ten seconds.
Based on this calculation, she could maintain the Weakness effect on the enemy for close to forty seconds. It was very useful in actual combat. During the pause, Qiao Rui could also move around and attack, as well as provide additional crowd control for the party.
However, against a high level Leader or Lord, the intermittent playing technique was not very useful. The enemy had the Resilience skill. Once she stopped playing, the duration of the Weakness effect would be greatly reduced.
Next was the fourth level of Sound Attack Array: End Stop. This was a rare skill that could directly kill the enemy. The activation conditions were very strict. Even if the activation conditions were met, she would need to have at least two successful Attribute Judgements and her total Attribute Judgements to cause the death effect on the enemy. The price was that the Soul Bamboo Flute would not be able to be used during the battle.
Currently, Qiao Rui had only unearthed the fourth level of the Soul Bamboo Flute skill tree. However, this was equivalent to giving her four additional top-grade skills! This was the reason why a Hero Class with exclusive equipment could crush an ordinary Hero Class without exclusive equipment.
Bai Xiaowen had seen Qiao Rui's combat skills in the previous Pro League. He had the single-target Soul Cage and the single-target and group healing skill, Life Heal. Other than that, Qiao Rui also had two skills, Group Dispel and Force Wave. However, he did not use them often. To be honest, this was because Soul Rhythm consumed too much mana. This limited Qiao Rui's other skills.
Qiao Rui's class was called "Soul Whisperer." He had the special ability to communicate with souls. The class skill was "Soul Whisper."
[Soul Whisper: Passive. Every dead person around you (regardless of friend or foe) will allow you to recover mental strength. The amount and duration are related to the target's level. Activating Soul Whisper will allow you to obtain the effect of Soul Walk (Ignores obstacles, terrain, and volume. Cannot be targeted, but requires continuous mental strength consumption).]
The active effect of the class skill, Soul Whisper, was very useful. Soul Walk was the most powerful life-saving skill that Bai Xiaowen had ever seen. It was different from Li Shuyi's Ring of Nothingness.
The Ring of Nothingness allowed the user to enter a state of nothingness and become almost immune to physical attacks. However, the side effect was that the user would receive double the damage from magic attacks.
Soul Walk made the user "unable to be targeted," which meant that the user would not become the target of single-target attacks or skills. The user would only receive damage from AoE skills. Compared to single-target skills, AoE skills were still rare.
The passive effect of Soul Whisper was also very powerful. It was similar to the passive effect of Butcher's Slaughterhouse. However, it was the mana recovery version.
In summary, Qiao Rui's Soul Whisperer class had strong survivability and support abilities. Moreover, thanks to the Soul Bamboo Flute's "End of Annihilation," Qiao Rui also had a certain level of solo killing ability. However, the prerequisite was that the target's attributes were suppressed by her.
Because of the passive effect of the class, Qiao Rui could rely on the dead to recover her mana. Therefore, Qiao Rui was still suitable for large-scale battles. There was a steady stream of dead people around her to help her recover her mental endurance.
Bai Xiaowen already had several different tactical ideas in his mind, but he still needed to test them out in real combat.
"I can feel that there are many dead souls here," Qiao Rui whispered to Bai Xiaowen.
"Well, after all, this is called the Boneyard. It's actually a big cemetery." Bai Xiaowen grinned. "Look, Gloria should have found her destination."
The location where they were was a huge ice lake with a radius of a thousand meters. However, there was a layer of snow on the ice lake. It looked no different from an ice field.
Gloria squatted down gently. Her right hand, which was wrapped in dark blue armor, gently brushed the surface of the ice lake and swept away the snow.
Gloria's cold voice sounded. "We are here. I can feel the ancient and powerful corpse waiting to be awakened … Dior, before I awaken it, no one is to disturb me. You will be in charge of all the troops under my command. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "Yes, ma 'am."
Bai Xiaowen gradually realized that Gloria was no longer the Gloria of the past. Therefore, the way he spoke also gradually changed.
Gloria stood up. She held the skeletal sword with both hands and suddenly stabbed it into the ice layer.
A notification from the Spiritual Realm's rules came:
"Level A + Elite Mission: Tomb of the Giant Dragon officially begins. Countdown …"
A string of numbers representing the time jumped in Bai Xiaowen's vision. 119 minutes and 59 seconds …
At the same time, Bai Xiaowen also received a second notification from the Spiritual Realm's rules. He received the command of the 20 ghosts and 17 spider demons in front of him. It was a pity that his Spiritual Power and Spiritual Teacher Enhancement couldn't be used on these creatures.
