Chapter 23 Critical Value, Breakthrough!

In the dark room tunnel.

Bai Xiaowen picked up the gray beads.

Hint message: "You have acquired an Unknown Soul Stone. This item is guaranteed to drop and is not included in the loot reward list."

"Soul stone! It's actually in the stomach of this elite zombie rat, I didn't expect it!"

Bai Xiaowen was surprised and happy, no wonder he couldn't find the soul stone in the dark room.

Bai Xiaowen tried to check the properties of the soul stone, but he could only get a series of prompt messages:

"The soul stone was sealed by a powerful force."

"The soul stone energy has been exhausted."

"Please unseal and recharge before exploring attributes."

Needless to say, the energy of the Soul Stone was absorbed by Fargar.

Bai Xiaowenkong rejoiced and sighed secretly to put away the soul stone. Suddenly, a dull lustre flashed across the surface of the Soul Stone, and a faint song seemed to ring in Bai Xiaowen's ears.

"Um?"

Bai Xiaowen picked up the soul stone again and looked at it carefully.

The singing is a little vague, but the melody has an indescribable beauty that makes you listen carefully.

Suddenly, with a bang, the singing dissipated, and there were bursts of terrifying cries of ghosts and ghosts, one after another, impacting Bai Xiaowen's spirit!

"Damn it, it really is the 'evil' soul stone!"

Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen kept his mind and had a layer of mental preparation, otherwise he would be caught off guard and be shocked by the sudden change of the voice from extremely beautiful to extremely terrifying, and the result was unpredictable.

Specter's cries continued, and an illusory banshee phantom appeared on the surface of the Soul Stone. Her pale lips opened and closed, and she let out the howl of a banshee. A pair of red eyes stared at Bai Xiaowen's eyes, trying to erode Bai Xiaowen's spirit step by step.

However, Bai Xiaowen's spirit is as high as 7.9, which is higher than that of ordinary awakened people! This means that Bai Xiaowen's resistance to spiritual attacks is beyond the Banshee's expectations. More importantly, the energy of the Soul Stone has been depleted, and the power of the Banshee's Howl has been greatly reduced.

During the stalemate, red light flashed in Bai Xiaowen's left eye, and the originally normal eye suddenly turned into a blood-colored eyeball!

The blood-colored eyeballs were filled with a grand majesty, and they seemed to stare at the banshee illusion on the surface of the soul stone without the slightest emotion.

"Do not!"

The banshee let out a sharp cry and shrank into the soul stone. She has been devastated.

At the same time, Falgar, who was fighting fiercely, let out a shrill roar. His original agile pace has become much slower, and his attack is not as sharp as before.

Of course, the battle-hardened royal female knight Gloria would not miss this opportunity. She took a step with her left foot and swung a magnificent sword arc with her great sword in both hands.

Combat skills, sword arc slash!

scoff!

Falgar's chest spattered a large splatter of blood. He had been consumed for a long time before, and now he was severely injured by this heavy blow, and he was on the ground. If it wasn't for Gloria wanting to capture it alive and asking about the whereabouts of the soul stone, the sword just now was enough to hack Falgar to death.

"Hu, hu..." The frenzy in Falgar's eyes gradually subsided, and he looked in the direction of the dark room with some reluctance.

"Hand over the soul stone!" Gloria shouted sharply.

"Hehe..." Falgar showed a smile, "Gloria, the soul stone is not with me."

"You're lying!" Gloria pointed the tip of her sword to Falgar's throat, with a chilling glow.

"I'm not lying," Falgar said laboriously, "I suggest you go to my laboratory quickly and find your companion... Hehe, one step later, the soul stone will be taken away by him."

Gloria snorted softly, and her left hand wrapped in the studded gauntlet picked up Falgar's collar and strode straight into the dark room.

Fargar's darkroom tunnel.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head, the blood-red eyeball disappeared, and his left eye returned to normal.

When the bloody eyeball appeared just now, his mind seemed to be in a stagnant state, and he didn't realize what happened, and he didn't understand the reason for the banshee's retreat. He could only attribute it to the lack of energy of the banshee.

"Huh... In Margo's diary, it has always been said that this is the evil soul stone, and it is true. Fortunately, when the singing sounded, I secretly raised my vigilance."

Prompt information:

"You passed the spiritual test of the soul stone and received a reward."

"Your base spirit increases by 2."

A simple reminder made Bai Xiaowen's complexion change.

The reason is very simple, Bai Xiaowen's original total attribute has reached 18.7, and now it has increased by 2 points, and the total has reached 20.7!

The next second, the prompt message came again:

"Your basic attributes are: strength 4.5, agility 4.2, constitution 2.1, spirit 9.9, total attribute 20.7, and you have reached the threshold for an awakened person."

"Your basic attributes have been locked and cannot be improved again before the awakening test."

"Please enter the spiritual world within 48 hours of Earth time and take the test of the awakened person. Overdue will be regarded as a failure of the test, and the difficulty of the next test will increase by 50%."

Bai Xiaowen calmed down and sighed secretly.

"The growth space for the last 2 attributes, I originally wanted to increase my physique... I really can't do it, both strength and agility are fine! But it was added to the spirit... Nearly 10 points of spirit, when I first entered the spiritual world, Without any skills, the effect is far less than the strength, agility and physique of the same attributes!"

Strength, directly increases damage, and punches and kicks are full of power.

Agility, increasing release speed, running speed, flexibility, etc., is also useful. Just by looking at the elite zombie mouse with 10.4 agility, and beating Bai Xiaowen almost without the strength to fight back, you can see how terrifying the high agility is.

Physique, after entering the spiritual world, the body is "completely digitalized" and will become the basic attribute that determines "life value"! The higher the physique, the higher the life value. And once the life value is cleared, it means death.

Therefore, high physique can increase the fault tolerance rate, which is a crucial attribute for all those who undergo the Awakened Test.

As for the spirit... what determines the power of the spell, the recovery speed of the spirit power. So the question is, does Bai Xiaowen now have any active skills? His spirit of 9.9 is almost equal to decoration!

In other words, Bai Xiaowen's "effective combat attribute" is actually only 10.8, which is roughly equivalent to a little more than half of other quasi-awakened people. One can imagine the difficulty of participating in the Awakened Test with such a high elimination rate.

Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Let's not think about it so much. There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. How to pass the test of the awakened person and enter the spiritual world and then think of a way. Now, Gloria or Falgar should be coming soon. I'd better withdraw first."

Of course Bai Xiaowen will not go back the same way, that will only meet Gloria head-on. He followed this tunnel and drilled deep.

Yes, Bai Xiaowen firmly believes that the other end of the tunnel must lead to the outside world.

This is not a blind guess, but a conclusion based on known information.

It was described in Margao's journal that they sealed the entrance to the cave with stones and lived in it for a long time - during this time, it is impossible for the master and servant to huddle in the mouse hole all the time, right?

Let's not talk about the issue of eating and drinking, even if you are going out, you must find a place with beautiful scenery and clear air, so as not to pollute the air in the basement that you have painstakingly excavated.

Therefore, another hidden exit, known only to the master and servant, must exist.

According to the general rule—leaders who are in danger go first—it can be determined that the tunnel leading to the outside world is in Fargar's dark room, which is the tunnel where the elite zombie rat Black Fang hid before.

"Stop!" The female knight scolded faintly at the entrance of the tunnel.

"It seems that the Royal Knights are still better. Falgar, you are a big dish, and your rank will not exceed Bronze!"

Bronze King Honey Juice is confident "I can fight back"!

Bai Xiaowen cursed secretly. If the winner is Fargar, it will be more beneficial to Bai Xiaowen. Bai Xiaowen, who holds the soul stone, undoubtedly holds Falgar's biggest weakness, and his understanding of Falgar is deeper than that of Gloria.

Bai Xiaowen inquired about it, and after confirming that he could enter the spiritual world at any time, he calmed down a lot.

Behind a low bush, Bai Xiaowen pushed open the slate cover covered by the grass and drilled out of the tunnel. He did not leave in a hurry, but stood dozens of meters away and waited.

Boom!

Half a minute later, the royal female knight Gloria appeared. This female knight's angry blow directly knocked the slate ten meters high, and exploded into countless stones in the air.

"The appearance is grand enough." Bai Xiaowen pouted and commented.

"Hand over the soul stone...this is your last chance!" Gloria dragged the dead dog-like Falgar in her left hand, and pointed the big sword in her right hand at Bai Xiaowen.

The two were about thirty meters apart. This distance, for a powerful royal female knight, could catch up with just a few breaths.

In fact, although Gloria was a little angry, she was not nervous. The gap in strength is obvious. In the endless wilderness, it is impossible for this cunning earth human to escape.

"A question," Bai Xiaowen's thief eyes scanned the chest wrapped in Gloria's steel BRA, "Miss Gloria, does your cup have a C?"

Although she didn't understand the word "cup", Gloria could still tell that Bai Xiaowen was playing a hooligan. With a cold face, she inserted the big sword into the ground with one hand, and drew the thin stabbing sword from her waist.

"go to hell!"

A streamer lasing out.

There was a smile on Bai Xiaowen's face, but his figure was glowing, and it dissipated as little dots of light. The streamer passed through, but only penetrated a ghostly shadow.

Bai Xiaowen took a last look at the plague rat's lair.

"Mr. Xiao, classmate Jiang Wen... I have tried my best to delay as much as I can. You can ask for more blessings."

In the empty field, the angry and unwilling roar of the royal female knight Gloria echoed:

"Despicable earthlings, I swear by the glory of the royal knights, even if I catch up to the ends of the earth, I will make you accept justice!"
