Chapter 264 The Growth of the Black Soul Stone (Two in One)
At this time, Baishi Town is quite different from the dilapidated one at the beginning. The wooden houses are scattered, and smoke from the cooking can be seen.
Several people came to the scene of the latest tragedy, surrounded by Bai Xiaowen and others.
It has been more than a day since the incident happened, and these residents have no sense of protecting the scene. In front of Bai Xiaowen, there are only two incomplete skeletons.
The two corpses were in a tragic state of death. One of them had a big hole in his stomach, and the dark red blood had coagulated. The other one, his neck was twisted 180 degrees, and his tongue was sticking out.
And apart from these two fatal wounds, the body of the deceased was even more stained with blood, and not a single piece of flesh was intact.
Li Shuyi resisted the discomfort in her stomach, frowned and said, "What kind of monster is it? When you saw it, didn't you find any clues?"
Anton shook his head: "We suspect it is a flying monster...because there are no footprints of any monsters at the scene."
Bai Xiaowen crouched down and began to identify the bones.
"It shouldn't be made by monsters," Bai Xiaowen said, "Look, the wounds on the thighs, calves, and arms of the deceased all have marks cut by sharp blades, which should be man-made... In this case, it is easy to understand that there are no footprints. The murderer compares Be cautious and erase the footprints."
Bai Xiaowen stood up and continued: "From the death state of the deceased, part of the scene at the time of the crime can be reconstructed. For example, the second deceased had severe bruises on his head and left shoulder, and the fatal injury was a twisted neck. Among the murderers, there must be a very tall guy. He clasped the shoulder of the deceased with one hand and grabbed his head with the other, and just turned like this..."
Bai Xiaowen made a demonstration move, which made everyone present, especially the residents of Baishi Town, feel a chill in their necks.
Li Shuyi quickly assumed the role of Conan: "In this case, the murderer must be forty or fifty centimeters taller than the deceased, at least two meters above... Is there such a tall person in Baishi Town?"
Anton shook his head again and again: "Those burly and strong people have long since left Baishi Town with their families, and now there are basically few residents of Baishi Town who are taller than me, let alone so many people. "
As a miner, Anton is relatively tall and strong, with a height of 1.8 meters. When he said this, it undoubtedly showed that the murderer was not from Baishi Town.
"Did you pay attention, the body of the deceased was covered with wounds, and the flesh was cut off in many places." Bai Xiaowen said.
Several people nodded at the same time.
"Generally speaking, unless they are abnormal, the murderer will not make any extra moves. One of the two deceased had a broken neck, and the other had a large transparent hole in his stomach, which was a fatal injury to death on the spot. Why did the murderer still To cut off their flesh?"
Bai Xiaowen said to himself, "There is a chance that the murderer is a pervert. There is a 20 percent chance that the murderer is out of revenge and tortures the victim before he dies. And the biggest possibility... is that the murderer needs the meat as... food! "
Everyone in the field changed color.
"Xiao...Brother, shouldn't it be?" Li Shuyi's face turned pale. She had only heard of the ancient story of "eating each other" in the history books, and people would eat people. She had never thought of such a terrible thing.
"There is no need to make such a fuss. If the last conjecture is true, the perpetrators should be remnants from the realm of sin. Only those demi-human races among the remnants will regard our human race as a moving ration. Moreover, demi-human races In China, many ethnic groups are quite tall, and it is normal for strong men over two meters to appear."
Bai Xiaowen said his judgment, and then summoned the angry claw.
"If it's a simple incident of cannibalism by monsters, I wouldn't take a lot of trouble, and I'd just move all the residents of Baishi Town. But if there are remnants of the crime, it's necessary to investigate, at least get to know them first. The general strength of the remnants of the crime domain." Bai Xiaowen said.
Anger Claw sniffed on the bones of the two deceased, and then his big head rubbed against Bai Xiaowen's waist, his head turned to the north, and his claws were scratched.
"Let's go after the murderer. Anton, you go and convey my order, let the villagers pack their bags, gather up, and wait in the open space in front of the lord's mansion. After I come back, I will take you to relocate to Hongye City. There are The sturdy city wall can resist even if the remnants invade the northern border on a large scale."
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi mounted their angry paws and ran north all the way.
Along the way, Angrypaw would occasionally stop to sniff the ground before continuing to run.
"Angry claws are also used for chasing murderers. The nose is like a dog." Li Shuyi said, hugging Bai Xiaowen's waist.
"Wolves and dogs were originally a family. Dogs have been domesticated by humans for a long time and lack the experience of hunting in the wild. Biological evolution is the law of use and disuse, so the sense of smell of wolves is better than that of dogs. Angerpaw is the leader of the mutant wolf pack, with a sense of smell. Of course it is more sensitive." Bai Xiaowen said.
...
To the north of Baishi Town, in front of a small remote valley, Anger Claw stopped quietly, his claws moved, and a low whining sound came out of his mouth.
"There are traces of human activity."
Bai Xiaowen crouched down and recognized the messy footprints on the ground.
Judging from the direction of the footprints, it was a humanoid creature walking upright on two feet. However, the shape of the footprints is very strange. The long soles of the feet have only two toes, one large and one small, and a small protruding part of the heel, which seems to be the third toe.
Bai Xiaowen used the Black Soul Stone's accompanying skill Return of the Dead, and a ballot of undead summoned creatures appeared beside him.
As for Dr. Zombie, he has an independent consciousness and personality, and with Bai Xiaowen's consent, he can not respond to Bai Xiaowen's call.
As usual, Bai Xiaowen ordered the shadow assassin to hide and sneak into the valley.
There are several animal skin tents in the valley, and in the center is a bonfire with pieces of meat of unknown origin grilling on it.
Around the bonfire sit three humanoids, each tall and slender, with blue skin and sharp fangs extending from their mouths. He is very familiar with this image of respectful appearance Bai Xiaowen. Before entering the world of Kane's plane, he has drawn this template of humanoid image-troll clan.
When the Shadow Assassin was approaching, one of the trolls gave a "um", his head was slightly tilted, and his slightly pointed ears were slightly pricked up.
This troll's perception is obviously very high, and Bai Xiaowen controls the shadow assassin to slowly back away, not to step into the opponent's warning range.
Afterwards, Bai Xiaowen ended the vision sharing with the Shadow Assassin, opened his eyes and said, "There are three trolls in total. It seems that they are all elite creatures, and they pose little threat to us, so let's go directly."
Li Shuyi nodded, she couldn't wait to teach these cannibals a lesson.
When a vote of summoned creatures rushed into the valley and blocked Taniguchi, the three trolls were still enjoying the human flesh barbecue banquet.
A string of puzzling words roared from the mouth of the troll in the middle, but neither Bai Xiaowen nor Li Shuyi could understand the meaning. When they first entered the world of Kane, the only thing they got for 100 power points was Common (Old Latin), and these trolls obviously spoke another language.
If there is no language, there is no need for communication. Just after the trolls were attracted by the skeleton sword and shield hand side by side, the shadow assassin took the lead and threw out his assassination skills, hitting the back of one of the trolls.
Bai Xiaowen threw the insight skill at the troll.
[Sogge Juetooth (Elite Level 5)]
[Race: Humanoid/Troll Race]
[Occupation: Troll Headhunter]
[Attributes: Strength 15, Agility 25, Constitution 24, Spirit 10]
[Skills: Berserk, Regeneration, Bloody Assassination]
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised by the strength of this level 5 elite, mainly because the three skills were quite powerful.
[Fury] is a skill that continuously stacks attack speed. Normal attacks have a chance to trigger. Every time it triggers, a layer is added, and each layer increases attack speed by 10%, up to a maximum of 50%!
[Regeneration] is the racial passive ability of the troll race, which speeds up the recovery of health and can consume a certain amount of physical energy in battle to recover its own disability (broken limb).
The last [Blood Assassination] is a big move, which consumes half of your own health, applies the ancient spell of the ancient trolls to the spear, and causes the same amount of magic damage to enemies in a straight line!
Of course, as far as skills are concerned, this level 5 elite troll headhunter may not be stronger than apprentice knight Bonita.
But you must know that Bonita itself is a knight of divine grace, and has a high chance to evolve into a leader at a high level, so she has such a powerful skill! Others, not to mention fakes like Kitts, are most of the knights in the Holy See, and they don't have the potential of Bonita.
If the skills of this elite troll are the abilities that all troll headhunters have, then the fighting power of the remnants is really a bit terrifying. With a few more elite troll headhunters, if they used their ultimate move regardless of the disability, they would probably be able to kill leaders of the same level.
Fortunately, the Shadow Assassin's attack was effective, successfully piercing the vest of the first troll, causing high damage and adding a bleeding state.
After seeing Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, the three trolls quickly gave up their intention to communicate, and charged at Bai Xiaowen with a roar. Their attack method is also very special, which is to shoot with the spear behind the back, but the distance is relatively close.
After a round of spear throwing, the 4 Skeleton Swordsmen rushed into the melee range of the three troll headhunters. However, the three troll headhunters took off the spears from behind, held them in both hands, and fought head-to-head with the skeleton sword and shield, without any intention of retreating.
"It can be far or near, it can be attacked and defended, it really is a powerful unit."
Bai Xiaowen commanded his angry claws to fly up and bite the injured troll's arm. With a click, the crippling effect of [Bite] was triggered, and half of the troll's arm was bitten off.
The injured troll roared, grabbed the broken arm with his left hand, and took a step back. The other two trolls came to the rescue quickly, the passive ability Berserk special effects were superimposed, and the two war spears stabbed the angry claws one after another, then pulled them back and poked again!
As for the first troll, the remaining left hand beat on his chest and roared, and the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he seemed to be in great pain. And where his right arm broke, a light blue arm suddenly sprang out. Compared with the rest of the skin on his body, the color was a little lighter.
This is the racial ability [Regeneration] of the troll race, and it is really tough. However, the first troll seemed to consume a lot of physical energy, took two heavy breaths, and did not continue to attack for the time being.
On this side, Bai Xiaowen manipulated the angry claw to attack two rounds and four attacks, and his health dropped to 60%. Under the blessing of the Lv4 skill special effect [Blood Rage], Anger Claw's eyes quickly turned red, and his body had an extra 40% crit rate!
Hey, the [Mangle] skill was thrown out, which happened to trigger a critical strike, and the second troll was almost cut open, and he was directly hung up with heavy bleeding! The angry claws kicked up in anger, biting the opponent's throat with one bite.
Attack, attack again!
The neck of the second troll was directly bitten off, and blood spurted wildly. This kind of terrifying injury, no matter how strong the regeneration ability is, can't be saved, just kill it!
The third troll screamed, bit his middle finger, and smeared blood on the war spear. This spear, with a terrifying blood-colored light, was turbulent in the wind, and it felt like it was hard to open your eyes.
"...There are too many extra moves."
Bai Xiaowen was waiting for this moment, he directly activated [Deterrence]!
Enemies with mental power below 11 (including 11) will fall into a coma! Even if it is higher than 11, after the determination of the deterrent skill is passed, you must enter a state of fear! This is the special effect of [Deterrence] after being upgraded to Lv4, "Crushing"!
The third troll's spirit was slightly higher, fell into a state of fear, and the ultimate move [Blood Assassination] was stillborn. The first one, the troll who had just been reborn from the broken arm, fell into a coma and was killed by Li Shuyi and the summoned creature.
As for the third troll, half of his health was wasted for nothing. Bai Xiaowen's desert eagle was placed between his eyebrows and shot directly in the head, without giving him any chance.
After the battle, the prompt message of the rules of the spirit world came:
"You wiped out the Coalition Troll Scout Squad."
"Your prestige in the Terran Coalition Army has increased, currently: Friendly."
"Your prestige in the Alliance of Sins has decreased, currently: hatred."
"You have obtained Merit Points for the Terran Coalition Army faction: 107 points. Please go to the quartermaster Basil Heber at Black Rock Fortress to view and exchange the munitions."
Li Shuyi also got a reminder of the merit points. The two of them summed it up and killed a level 5 elite troll. A total of 50 merit points will be awarded, which will be distributed according to the killing contribution.
"It seems that the remnants of the Allied Forces of Sin has begun to infiltrate before the war. Then during the period of developing the antidote, we have something to do. Find out these scouts and kill them, you can get a lot of merit points." Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi strongly agrees.
However, what makes Bai Xiaowen more concerned is that his exclusive equipment: the black soul stone, after absorbing the souls of three trolls, finally rose to level 4!
