30 points!
A Level 10 Elite Ancient Heroic Soul gave Bai Xiaowen 30 points of Black Soul Stone growth and Soul Essence points. It was the same amount as a leader of the same level, and three times more than a normal Elite!
Bai Xiaowen looked at the other Ancient Heroic Souls with a fervent look in his eyes.
But that was not all.
Delifa's surprised voice sounded, "Master, where did you capture these incomplete souls? It's amazing! "
"In the former Guardian Sect Temple. These Heroic Souls should have been warriors of the Guardian Sect when they were alive." In the Song of the Forgotten Kings, it was mentioned that the Elijah Sect built this temple, which actually represented the Guardian Sect.
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen asked again, "Do these incomplete souls have any special value, Delifa?"
"That's obvious, Master."
Delifa said excitedly, "These Heroic Souls are fundamentally different from normal monsters. They don't have a complete soul consciousness, and only residual battle instincts are left! These battle instincts are the essence of battle skills that have been tempered thousands of times, and the most important thing is … they can be absorbed by your summoned creatures without any restrictions! "
"Without any restrictions? You mean, the summoned creatures that have already absorbed the souls of other Elites can also absorb the souls of these Ancient Heroic Souls? "Bai Xiaowen confirmed.
"I have to correct you, my dear master." Delifa's face appeared on the Black Soul Stone, revealing a charming smile. "The Black Soul Stone doesn't absorb the complete souls of the Ancient Heroic Souls, but only a portion of battle skills. No matter how many times these battle skills are absorbed, it won't have any substantial effect on the summoned creatures. It will only allow their related battle skills to reach Level 10. "
After a pause, Delifa said with some regret, "Unfortunately, the summoned creatures' strength doesn't depend on their own battle skills, but on the level of your skill. They are different from me. "
Among Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures, apart from Delifa and Keats who had the ability to move on their own, the other summoned creatures all required Bai Xiaowen's meticulous control in order to unleash their greatest combat power.
Therefore, no matter how high the combat abilities of the other summoned creatures were, it was just a matter of numbers. It had no actual effect on the battle. Bai Xiaowen had to rely on his own combat abilities to control them in battle.
"That's not a problem." Bai Xiaowen heaved a sigh of relief. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and said, "I can learn quickly by sharing the combat expertise of the summoned creatures … You should have known this already, Delifa."
Delifa was suddenly enlightened. "Yes, Master, when you practice your long-handled weapon specialty, you use this method of sharing memories … But this way, Master will have to learn a lot more."
"No problem."
Bai Xiaowen counted the types of Ancient Heroic Souls present.
The Heroic Soul of the Ancient Shield Wielder represented a LV10 Shield Mastery specialty.
The Heroic Soul of the Ancient Assassin had a Level-10 Advanced Single-handed Sword Technique.
The Heroic Soul of the Ancient Spellcaster had a Level-10 Meditation specialty.
The Heroic Soul of the Ancient Archer had a Level-10 Advanced Shooting specialty …
In the distance, there were new Ancient Heroic Souls joining the battle. Among them, there was no lack of Heroic Souls wielding two-handed swords and even heavy hammers.
Bai Xiaowen was very excited as he watched.
"Come on … The more the better!"
Delifa did not participate in the battle. Instead, he stayed in the Soul Crystal and was busy fusing the remnant souls.
It was important to note that the soul fusion was not arranged casually. It depended on the specific compatibility.
For example, the Heroic Soul of the Ancient Shield Wielder was the most suitable for the fusion of the Skeleton Wielder. The goal was to upgrade the advanced equipment, Shield Mastery. However, the Skeleton Wielder's "aptitude" was average. Feeding it one or two Heroic Soul fragments of the Ancient Shield Wielder would not increase it much. It was still very difficult for it to directly reach LV10.
Delifa focused on feeding one Skeleton Wielder. After feeding it three Heroic Soul fragments of the Ancient Shield Wielder, its Shield Mastery specialty rose from Level-5 to Level-6.
In comparison, the Shadow Assassin's aptitude was much better. One Heroic Soul fragment of the Ancient Assassin had raised its Single-handed Sword Technique from Level-5 to Level-7. The second fragment had even raised its Single-handed Sword Technique to Level-8.
The Undead Demon Arcane Master's improvement speed was similar to the Shadow Assassin's. As for the Skeleton Warrior, it was much slower. It was probably because it had not absorbed a complete soul to mutate.
Bai Xiaowen told Delifa not to feed the Skeleton Warrior for the time being. Instead, he kept the corresponding Heroic Soul fragments until the Skeleton Warrior mutated after absorbing a powerful soul.
As for which soul the Skeleton Warrior should use, Bai Xiaowen was not in a hurry. In his Black Soul Crystal, there was a group of Intermediate Knight Leaders who used two-handed swords. There was no lack of backup Heroic Souls.
But now, Bai Xiaowen's horizons had been broadened. He wanted to wait a little longer and see if he could get a Heroic Soul that used two-handed swords.
After killing more than ten Heroic Souls, Bai Xiaowen finally cleared the corridor.
At the end of the corridor was a thick and heavy stone door with many strange patterns carved on it. Beside the door was a stone tablet as tall as a person. There were also some simple lines and letters carved on it.
Bai Xiaowen studied the stone tablet and the door for a while.
"This is a kind of code. Pictures are used instead of letters."
Bai Xiaowen said, "Look at the stone tablet. It has already written down the correspondence between the shapes and the letters … For example, a triangle corresponds to 'α', and two crossed lines correspond to 'β' … Let me memorize it." The red light in his eyes flickered slightly as he imprinted the contents of the stone tablet into his mind.
There were a total of five pairs of letters and pictures on the stone tablet. As for the stone door, it was filled with strange patterns that were hard to recognize. There were two rows with four pictures at the top and bottom.
"What do these eight pictures mean? Are they related to the code on the stone tablet? "Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and studied the eight pictures. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "No, this is just a simple picture reasoning question. Interesting. It seems like the Guardian Sect's ancestors liked this kind of thing. "
Back in the Latent Shadow Labyrinth, the forked paths were different reasoning questions that hinted at the correct path.
"Picture reasoning questions?" Li Shuyi repeated.
"Yes, the four pictures in the top row are the root of the question. The four pictures in the bottom row are the options. We need to find the correct option based on the pattern in the top row and press the picture … "Bai Xiaowen gestured." Did you notice that there are cracks around the four pictures in the bottom row? This is a moving mechanism. It's just that it's covered by moss and dust, so it's not easy to see. "
Li Shuyi looked at Bai Xiaowen in confusion.
"Why are you looking at me …" Even though Bai Xiaowen was solving the question seriously, he could feel Li Shuyi's gaze.
"Nothing … Xiaowen, do you want to tell me how you could tell that this is a picture reasoning question from the eight pictures without any hint? There's no hint at all … "Li Shuyi found it hard to understand. He could tell that there was a question among the eight pictures.
"I've already explained it." Bai Xiaowen smiled. "There are cracks around the four pictures, which means that they're all buttons … It's not hard to make the connection. If there's another reason, it would be that the four pictures above are too deliberate. They contain the same pattern. "
"What pattern?"
"They're all symmetrical pictures."
Bai Xiaowen said simply, "Therefore, we can conclude that these pictures are produced by folding photocopies. If we fold them back and cover half of them, we'll be able to see them more clearly … The first picture looks like three circles arranged in a row. What about now? What do you think it is? "
Li Shuyi suddenly realized. "This is … the Latin letter 'α' …"
Li Shuyi looked at the second picture in the first row and said, "Then the one that looks like the traditional Chinese character 'door' in ancient Hua Xia should be 'β' … Then there's' γ ',' δ '…"
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "That's right, so our choice should be this one." He pressed his palm on the third picture in the bottom row.
There was a rumbling sound, and the moss on the stone door peeled off. In the midst of the flying dust, the heavy door slowly sank, revealing a second corridor.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi stepped inside.
After killing another group of ancient heroic spirits, the two encountered the second stone door and stone tablet. Like the first door, the stone tablet had pictures and letters, but the stone door had different pictures.
For Bai Xiaowen, this kind of puzzle solving was just a rest after a battle. It was a warm-up for his super brain.
