"The wild wolves here … should have been killed by a group of humanoid creatures. Moreover, they are humanoid creatures from the spirit realm! "Bai Xiaowen said with certainty as he observed the arrow that pierced the rock.
"Why?" Li Shuyi asked. "Maybe they were killed by the Awakened."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Do you see the ashes of the bonfire? The number of piles of ashes was unexpectedly large! Based on the number and size of the bonfire, I estimated that there are enough ashes for 50 to 100 people to rest. Obviously, the Awakened team would not be so large. "
An ordinary Awakened team would have no more than five people.
Bai Xiaowen analyzed the situation, but his fingers were behind his back. He made a warning gesture to Li Shuyi.
When the Awakened ventured into the wilderness, they sometimes needed to transmit information in a silent state. Therefore, the basic combat gestures of the special forces were taught in the general knowledge class.
Li Shuyi and Old Devil both saw Bai Xiaowen's gesture.
Li Shuyi's expression turned cold. His fingers reached for the worn-out crossbow at his waist. Old Devil's face was expressionless. However, he looked at Bai Xiaowen with a hint of admiration.
Clang!
When Bai Xiaowen passed by a thicket, a low and hoarse scream suddenly came from the thicket, followed by the sound of metal clashing against metal.
Three figures wearing tattered armor with emaciated faces suddenly rushed out of the bushes. Behind them, a graceful black figure waved a short dagger and chased after them.
"Invaders from the spirit realm … You can't escape!"
The only remaining skeleton soldier behind Bai Xiaowen stepped forward and raised a wooden shield to block them. Bai Xiaowen pulled out his Desert Eagle, which was shining with a silver light. He aimed at one of the most heavily injured men and pulled the trigger!
Previously, the Shadow Assassin's Invisibility had landed a critical hit on that player's vitals. Although he had not been killed instantly, he had been inflicted with a Heavy Bleeding debuff. Now that Bai Xiaowen had activated Rapid Fire and rained down a barrage of bullets, the Assassin's HP rapidly plummeted.
At the same time he fired, Bai Xiaowen also used [Insight].
[Zhao Er/Challenge Rank 1 (Confused)]
[Race: Humanoid/Human]
[Profession: Swordsman (Level 1)]
[Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 4, Constitution 5, Spirit 3]
[Skill 1: Combo Slash: Perform two consecutive slashes, each dealing 80% of actual damage.]
[Skill 2: Block: Raise a wooden shield to block physical attacks in front of you.]
The second skill was grayed out, indicating that it couldn't be used. Zhao Er didn't equip a shield, so there was no way he could use it.
Bai Xiaowen quickly browsed through the description of Confusion.
"Disorganized State: The army that this soldier belongs to has been defeated, thus becoming a disorganized army. All attributes reduced by 20%."
After killing the heavily injured soldier, Bai Xiaowen looked at the last kill notification.
"Your shot dealt 11 points of damage to Swordsman Zhao Er of the Yellow Turban Army. Zhao Er died (3 points of excess damage)."
Bai Xiaowen suppressed his thoughts and controlled the Shadow Assassin and the Skeleton Soldier. With Li Shuyi's help, he killed the remaining two disorganized soldiers. The three disorganized soldiers only gave Bai Xiaowen a total of 5 Psionic Points. Other than that, he didn't lose anything.
After the battle, Bai Xiaowen, Ol 'Witch, and Li Shuyi sat around the corpses of the three disorganized soldiers.
"We're safe now." Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. He used his strange senses to observe his surroundings. There were no signs of living creatures.
Ol 'Witch looked at Bai Xiaowen with a hint of surprise. "You … you already have the ability to scan?"
"Scan?" Bai Xiaowen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Scan is an ability unique to professions that specialize in Spirit," Ol 'Witch explained. "However, it will only be activated when your base Spirit reaches at least 20 points. What's your base Spirit? "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Only 10 points. I haven't awakened the ability to scan. It's just a rough sense. "
"It's already very good to have such a sense with only 10 points of base Spirit," Ol 'Witch praised again. "When your base Spirit reaches 20 points, you should be able to awaken the ability to scan. This is one of the signs of a genius Spirit."
Bai Xiaowen was secretly pleased that Ol 'Witch, who had always been taciturn, praised him like that. However, he still acted humble. He waved his hand and said, "Let's study the current situation first. According to the information I just received, these ancient Hua Xia soldiers belonged to the 'Yellow Turban Army.' "
Li Shuyi thought for a moment and said, "I learned in general knowledge class that the Yellow Turban Army appeared in ancient Hua Xia at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Their leader was Zhang Jiao, who was known as the Great Sage and Good Teacher. Then, the world these three disorganized soldiers belong to should be based on the ancient Hua Xia of the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, the era of the Three Kingdoms. "
"Completely correct. As expected of a top student," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "Let me add something. From a historical point of view, the Eastern Han Dynasty experienced the Yellow Turban Uprising and a period of separation. With the Battle of Red Cliffs as the boundary, it officially entered the era of the Three Kingdoms … "
Bai Xiaowen continued, "The Three Kingdoms World of the Spirit Realm is based on the ancient Hua Xia's Three Kingdoms as the background. There were many strategists and fierce generals that were clearly recorded in history! This is also one of the Spirit Realm's planes that is very close to Earth's history. "
"You know about the Three Kingdoms World?" Ol 'Witch asked in surprise.
"I learned a little from the Guild's database." Bai Xiaowen smiled. Actually, what he knew was more than "a little." All the information collected by the Super Gods in the Spirit Realm was accessible to Bai Xiaowen. Almost all of it was stored in Bai Xiaowen's head.
"The appearance of these disorganized soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army here means that a temporary space rift to Earth has appeared in the Three Kingdoms World. However, we don't know how many people have come through the rift," Ol 'Witch said. "We should inform the supply station and report this to the authorities."
"Don't report it for now," Bai Xiaowen said with a wave of his hand. "Uncle Ol 'Witch, these disorganized soldiers won't be able to do anything."
"How do you know? The strength of the Three Kingdoms plane world was very strong. Don't underestimate the entire world just because of these disorganized soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army! The Challenge Rating of the soldiers in the Elite Army is higher than Level 3. Even a small sergeant could be an Elite! The general of the army is a Commander-tier monster. If an Elite Army pursues the disorganized soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army to Earth, Jinghai Base City will be in danger. "
Ol 'Witch didn't usually speak much, but when he saw Bai Xiaowen looking for trouble, he made an exception and spoke up to stop him.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I'm sure that only the disorganized soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army will come to Earth through the space rift. There won't be any Elite Army pursuing them. Uncle Ol 'Witch, think about it. If there were Elite Army pursuing them, would the disorganized soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army leisurely slaughter Wolf Valley and hold a bonfire party to celebrate? "
