"That's strange. There are so many Black Guards around Qin Hui. How could they all disappear?" Qiao Rui said, "There are so many people, not just two or three. It would be difficult to hide their tracks."
Bai Xiaowen said, "The sentries didn't see any trace of Qin Hui, which means that Qin Hui is still hiding in the hinterland of the Blood God Palace. I think of a place. "
Li Shuyi's eyes lit up. "Are you talking about the secret passage of the Arsenal?"
"The secret passage of the Arsenal is the only place that can accommodate so many people and not be discovered by the sentries of the Blood God Palace," Bai Xiaowen said.
"But isn't the Palace Master the only one who knows about the secret passage of the Arsenal?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "The Arsenal has been built for 100 years. How can a secret be kept for 100 years? Besides, if Qin Hui can practice the Blood God Sutra, what else is impossible? "
Qiao Rui nodded. "That's right. Qin Hui is the general manager of the Blood God Mountain. He must have countless opportunities to know how to open the secret passage. Besides, the secret passage is nothing. I believe that he has the ability to enter the Arsenal. "
"Then let's go into the secret passage and search. As long as we can find a Black Guard of the Blood God Mountain in the secret passage, we can find their leader. "Bai Xiaowen said.
"Do you want to tell Gu Yulian?" Qiao Rui asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "No, it's better to keep the news that we entered the secret passage to hunt down Qin Hui a secret. Qin Hui has been in the Blood God Mountain for many years. It's hard to guarantee that he didn't leave any pawns behind. Of course, I'll prepare an emergency measure just in case. "
At this time, Bai Xiaowen could walk freely in the three peaks and four valleys of the Blood God Palace with the Blood God Token. Even if he entered the main hall of the Blood God Palace, no one would care if he entered the secret passage behind the Palace Master's throne. However, he still chose the safest way, which was to sneak in through the water valve of the Heart-cleansing Pond.
However, as soon as he dived into the Heart-cleansing Pond, Bai Xiaowen sensed a strange yet familiar connection through the telepathy of the summoned creature. It was like a vegetative person who had been asleep for many years had woken up. The consciousness star started to shine again.
Bai Xiaowen followed the water valve into the secret passage. After coming out of the water, he immediately suppressed his excitement and communicated with the consciousness star, summoning the summoned creature represented by it.
"Kitts! You've finally awoken. "Bai Xiaowen was rather emotional. Keats had been asleep for quite a long time this time.
The summoned Kitts scratched his head. "Boss? How long have I slept? My head feels a little groggy. This place doesn't look like the underground mausoleum of the monastery. "
Bai Xiaowen laughed and scolded, "Monastery? You've been sleeping for months! Right now, we are exploring a whole new plane. Be careful, this plane is extremely difficult. "
Kitts scratched his head.
Qiao Rui had been frowning as he looked at Kitts. He suddenly said, "Something's not right."
"What is it?"
"This summoned creature of the captain's is somewhat different from before … I mean on the spiritual level." Qiao Rui said. She hadn't seen Kitts appear many times before, and her memories were rather hazy. However, as a Soulspeaker, she couldn't be wrong about the feeling that came from the soul.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. "Kitts drank the blood of a Grand Monarch … hey, he couldn't have been possessed by the consciousness of that Grand Monarch vampire, could he?"
Kitts called out loudly, "Hey, hey, Boss, there's a limit to your jokes, alright? It's just a bottle of strengthened blood essence. How could it have a consciousness … mmm, mmm, compared to before, I do feel somewhat different. "
Kitts waved his arms and kicked his legs. "My body has improved somewhat … but the greatest change is in my control of this vampire's body. I'm much more flexible than before."
Bai Xiaowen immediately opened Kitts' stats panel.
[Vampire Kitts (Elite Level 7)]
[Race: Undead/Blood Kindred]
[Attributes: Strength 24, Agility 48, Constitution 23, Spirit 15] (Including Shaman's bonus and Spirit bonus)
[Skill 1: Cursed Body: Omitted]
[Skill 2: Night Walker: Omitted]
[Skill 3: Bloodlust Attack: Omitted]
In terms of skills, they were the same as the original skills. However, in terms of attributes, they had all increased, mainly in the area of Agility.
Of course, this also had to do with Bai Xiaowen rising to Level 7. His Spirit bonus had increased to + 7 for all attributes, and Kitts' level had also risen to Level 7.
Bai Xiaowen did some mental calculations. Kitts' current Agility had increased by a full 18 points compared to his original Level 6 state! That was equivalent to an additional 2 points of base Agility growth for each level, for a total of 4 points of Agility per level! In this way, Kitts had leapt to become a rare elite-level summoned creature with a base attribute growth of 8 points per level, comparable to the Butcher's growth.
What kind of concept was 4 points of Agility growth per level? According to Bai Xiaowen's calculations, the Wrath Claw, as the leader, only increased his Agility by 4 points every time he leveled up. Of course, the Wrath Claw's total growth was 10 points, and the extra 2 points were in Constitution and Spirit, which was more comprehensive than Kitts'.
Now, Kitts was already a high agility existence in Bai Xiaowen's army of summoned creatures, whose Agility was second only to the Wrath Claw (50 points). It looked like drinking the Vampire Grand Lord's blood was really a great supplement for him.
The only problem was that he had been asleep for too long. If Bai Xiaowen had been a normal summoner, losing an elite summoned creature for several months in a row would have been very painful.
Bai Xiaowen had also considered the reason why Keats had been in hibernation for such a long time. The most reliable conjecture was that Keats had drunk the Vampire Grand Lord's blood on his own, without the participation of any researchers (Yes, I'm talking about you, Dr. Goldfish Eyes). Although the Grand Lord's blood was generally compatible with his vampire body, there were still some minute differences that rejected it.
If the Zombie Doctor was involved, he could use some methods that Bai Xiaowen didn't understand to minimize the rejection, and perhaps he would wake up in a few days. For the specifics, he could refer to the Butcher's stomach transplant.
But without the Zombie Doctor, this kind of rejection could only rely on Kitts' own bodily functions to adjust, and the time required would be several times or even tens of times longer.
So, in the future, when he came across such strengthening materials for summoned creatures, it was best to go to the Cain Plane and find the Zombie Doctor.
"Oh, wait!"
Before Bai Xiaowen closed Kitts' attribute panel, he suddenly revealed a look of surprise, "Kitts, what's up with your equipment column?"
"What equipment column?" Kitts was confused.
Bai Xiaowen said, "It's the two additional columns on your panel, 'Weapon' and 'Upper Equipment.' Uh, to put it simply, you can use equipment, but it's limited to two pieces, weapon and upper equipment."
Bai Xiaowen summoned the Butcher and displayed the Butcher's three-piece set. The crown, scepter, and robe all emitted the magnificent green glow of the set.
"I … I can do it too?" Kitts pointed at his own nose with some surprise, "Haha, that's great."
"Since you've activated the equipment column, it means that your soul has fused with this vampire body to a certain extent." Bai Xiaowen stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "This might be the reason why Sister Qiao Rui felt the changes in your soul. In fact, when my consciousness is connected to yours, I can also feel a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling. During this period of hibernation, you've brought me quite a few surprises. "
Kitts rubbed his hands together enthusiastically, "Boss, what kind of cool, flashy, and powerful … uh, it's best if it's equipment that you can't use. Can you reward me with a few pieces to wear?"
Bai Xiaowen rummaged through his storage space, "Upper equipment and weapons are all relatively rare and precious drops. There really aren't many in stock … oh, here's a windbreaker. Take it and wear it."
Bai Xiaowen took out that "Wandering Swordsman's Windbreaker." It was bound when picked up. It increased agility by 5 points and a certain evasion rate. It didn't have any special skills.
This gold equipment was only slightly stronger than standard gold equipment. It was also bound when picked up, so it couldn't be sold for a high price. Bai Xiaowen would sooner or later use it as a "sacrifice" to strengthen his equipment or disassemble it. It wouldn't be a loss to give it to Kitts to wear now.
Emmm …
Han Xu scratched his head. Qiao Rui covered her mouth and chuckled. Following such a rich captain, it always felt like the future was bright.
In fact, even hero-class awakened ones might not be able to get a full set of gold equipment. When the others saw Bai Xiaowen casually toss a gold upper to a summoned creature, they would most likely cry out. What a waste!
Kitts happily put on the windbreaker and changed out of his default double-breasted aristocratic attire. He felt like his entire person had become elegant and confident.
"Boss, how's my equipment compared to Fatty's?" Kitts confidently put one hand on Fatty's waist. With his height, it was impossible for him to put his hand on Butcher's shoulder. He casually asked.
"Your style is perfect. Paired with your melancholy eyes and coarse beard stubble, your handsomeness is through the roof," Bai Xiaowen said.
"Then what about my combat ability?"
"You're completely destroyed." Bai Xiaowen laughed. Standard gold equipment couldn't be compared to a three-piece set. The set bonus effect was priceless.
Kitts received a bit of a blow, but his personality was carefree, and he instantly threw it to the back of his mind. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry. Using the words of Boss' hometown, being handsome is a matter of life."
As for weapons, Bai Xiaowen temporarily didn't give Kitts a gold-class weapon. He only gave him a blue-grade one-handed sword. He vaguely felt that the most suitable weapon for Kitts was the gold staff called "Double Fangs," but Bai Xiaowen's basic strength and agility weren't enough.
As for the fanged dagger, it was bound to his equipment and had a high trade value. He wouldn't give it to Kitts. Once he wore it, he couldn't trade it. It would only be a waste of good stuff.
Kitts' awakening could be considered to have increased Bai Xiaowen's combat ability, although the increase wasn't great.
After equipping Kitts, Bai Xiaowen put Butcher and Kitts back into the black soul stone. Then the group of four advanced along the secret path.
The secret path was completely dark. Even with the vision of an awakened one, they could only rely on some luminous moss growing on the cave walls to see the basic outlines of objects.
Moreover, the secret path twisted and turned repeatedly. It was as complicated as a maze. Even with light, it was easy to get lost.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen had come here once before with Gu Yulian. Through his spiritual perception, he had already memorized the rough map of the secret path in his mind. This time, he led the members of the White Phoenix squad forward. He was very familiar with the path, as if he had lived in the secret path for a long time.
Li Shuyi and Qiao Rui were already used to it. In their eyes, Bai Xiaowen was a bug-level character with an extremely high IQ. Han Xu, however, was extremely impressed. What was a thigh? This was a thigh, a leader with 99 martial strength and 999 intelligence.
After walking for a while, Qiao Rui suddenly said in a low voice, "Be careful."
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "There are people up ahead. Pay attention to my orders. Don't act rashly. "
After turning a corner, the White Phoenix squad encountered three black-clothed men.
Without waiting for the three to speak, Bai Xiaowen shouted, "Password!"
The three men were stunned. The leader subconsciously said, "Jiangdong's talents."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said with a smile, "We're brothers. Thank you for your hard work."
The three black-clothed men couldn't see clearly in the dim light, so they nodded. The leader even said, "We're all working for the master. What's the trouble?" As they spoke, the two groups of people passed by each other.
After walking far away, the tense atmosphere in the White Phoenix squad eased a little.
Qiao Rui laughed. "You're good at bluffing."
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Although this secret path is hidden, Gu Yulian also knows where it is. How can Qin Hui not guard against Gu Yulian's infiltration? The secret path is dark, and we can't see the face clearly. Password is a very normal precaution. We're in the enemy's camp now. It's best not to expose ourselves too early. Otherwise, we'll be surrounded by the leader of the Blood God Peak and a large group of Black Guard. It'll be very troublesome. "
"If it's a password, it's usually the second half of the sentence, right? What if they asked us for the second half of the sentence? What should we do? "Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen helplessly spread out his hands. "Then we'll have to fight."
After walking for a while, they met the second group of patrols. This time, Bai Xiaowen beat them to it again. "Jiangdong's talents!"
"Roll over!"
The other side answered very quickly. Bai Xiaowen secretly exclaimed that it was a close call. When he heard the first half of the sentence, he expected the second half of the sentence to be "Roll over". The probability was as high as 90%. For this reason, Bai Xiaowen secretly mocked Qin Hui for being a hipster. He set up such a password that could be easily deduced.
But he didn't expect that the second half of the password and the one Bai Xiaowen deduced had the same meaning, but there was a difference of one word. If Bai Xiaowen was careless, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and be exposed.
The language of Hua Xia was broad and profound.
After the two sides exchanged passwords, they were about to pass by each other. Suddenly, a Black Guard from the patrol team opposite them said, "Hey, why are there four of you patrolling? Didn't Elder Hong say that three people were in a group? "
Bai Xiaowen's mind raced. He smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. After we were divided into groups, there happened to be one more person who joined our group. This brother's voice sounds a bit unfamiliar. I wonder which elder is in charge? "
