Chapter 411: Memories Conch (2 in 1)
Han Xu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't want it anymore. Dust? Fate? Wenxue←Web"
Bai Xiaowen recalled the last time when he came out to share the spoils in the Great Rift Valley of Broken Ridge Mountain, Han Xu seemed to only have five or six thousand power points on his body.
This shows that Han Xu's attention in Jingwu Guild is actually very average. Otherwise, a mid-level elite awakener would not be able to spend more than 10,000 power points.
"This golden weapon is very rare. After passing this village, there will be no such shop," Bai Xiaowen said softly, "I suggest you still compete for this piece of equipment. Don't worry about power points."
After finishing speaking, Bai Xiaowen directly chose the transaction and presented Han Xu with 30,000 power points.
Han Xu shook his head again and again, his face flushed red. He felt very embarrassed. The last time Bai Xiaowen helped him buy medicine, even though he gave him money, the favor was still there. He felt even more inappropriate to use Bai Xiaowen's power points now.
"Okay, I lent you this, and you can return it to me when you have more money in the future," Bai Xiaowen insisted, "There will be the CUAA National Competition next semester, and as an important MT in the team, you have to improve strength."
"This is too much."
"Not much, this weapon is worth 30,000. Even if you have a few thousand power points, don't you think your life will be over after you buy this weapon?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "equipment strengthening, skill upgrading, using the training ground, They all need power points. Again, this is a loan from me, not a gift, and you will have to pay it back in the future."
Han Xu really wanted this weapon very much in his heart. He no longer shied away, and accepted 30,000 power points: "I will definitely pay you back."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and signaled Han Xu to go over and bid.
Most awakened people have sharp eyes and ears. Although the conversation between Bai Xiaowen and Han Xu was very quiet, most of the people present heard it.
Shi Haiyan was a little apprehensive at first. He needed this golden weapon, and he was afraid that Bai Xiaowen would favor Han Xu, an alumnus, jump out and dictate the distribution of the spoils, and even use his power to force him to give up this weapon.
If that is the case, Shi Haiyan has to weigh whether it is worthwhile to continue to compete for this golden weapon - if he turns against Bai Xiaowen for this, there will be more benefits in the follow-up exploration of the snake tribe, but he will miss it.
It's just that although Bai Xiaowen said he was inclined to Han Xu, he didn't impose any extra favoritism, but only lent Han Xu a sum of power points.
Thus,
Shi Haiyan at least had the courage to continue bidding.
Bai Xiaowen did not favor Han Xu too much, and also made the other awakened students of Shandong University feel very comfortable. For them, the higher the price of the gold weapon auction, the better. The higher the price, the higher their share.
If Bai Xiaowen forced Han Xu to obtain this golden weapon at a very low price, it would be tantamount to reducing everyone's income, which would definitely cause resentment.
Not to mention Han Xu and Shi Haiyan's further bidding, after Bai Xiaowen lent the power point, he and Li Shuyi returned to the corpse of the leader of the lobster people, the shadow prophet Majik.
The special item dropped by Shadow Prophet Magek: Reminiscence Conch, Bai Xiaowen intends to study it carefully. He chose to use the Memory Conch.
Spirit world rule prompt: "Using the memory conch will continue to consume your mental power, 1 point per second. Are you sure?"
Bai Xiaowen chose yes. He suddenly felt that the tentacles of his mental power had extended into this small conch shell, and a light flashed in front of him, completely engulfing him.
The image of the memory of the lobster leader Majik appeared in front of Bai Xiaowen.
The images of these memories are without sound. Bai Xiaowen watched them through his mental power, just like watching a silent movie.
The first memory image is a small village on the shoal, where young lobstermen are chasing and frolicking, and the surrounding background is a hut made of shells and seaweed.
"It seems that this is the carefree time of Shadow Prophet Majik when he was young. This place is obviously not the Pale Mire..." Bai Xiaowen's brain was spinning rapidly, "Could this be the place of the spirit world before the space fragments of the Necromancer Lake peeled off?" noodle?"
Bai Xiaowen looked at the group of crayfish for a while, but couldn't tell which one was like Magek, so he had to give up this effort.
The memory image of the second scene is in front of an altar.
On the altar is a huge lobsterman statue, tall and powerful, several laps bigger than the leader-level lobsterman.
Tributes such as pearl scallops were placed in front of the altar, and then an old lobsterman with a slightly gray carapace muttered something to the statue, and then handed a wooden staff with a crystal ball inlaid to a nearby man with a bright carapace. Young Lobster Man.
The young lobster man raised his crystal ball stick, and the surrounding crowd of lobster men lay down on the ground one after another, and raised their tongs, as if they were cheering.
"This young lobsterman should be Magek. This is like some kind of inheritance ceremony. Magek took over the scepter from the old prophet and became the new prophet. This is indeed a precious memory for him." Bai Xiaowen thought to himself.
From then on, it was easier to distinguish Majik himself from other lobstermen. In short, the one holding the crystal ball stick must be Majik.
In the third act of recalling the video, the snake man finally appeared.
One of Majik's big turtles was broken, and he looked very embarrassed. The snake man in front of him had the expression of a winner.
Snake people are different from lobster people, they are half human and half snake. Except for the fine and dense blue scales on the upper body, their appearance and facial features are the same as those of humans, so they can read their expressions. As for the expression of the lobster man, it can only be guessed.
There seemed to be a dispute between Magek and the Snakeman, and both sides were expressing their anger fiercely with exaggerated gestures. Just looking at the background, the village hut of the lobster people has been firmly surrounded by groups of snake people.
In the end, Magek gave in, and a four-armed female snake leader walked out of the snake camp. She drew a shimmering rune in the air and embedded it in Magek's body.
Magek didn't resist, and let the rune enter his body. After a trembling, he prostrated himself under the tail of the female serpent leader and swore his allegiance.
"It seems that the Lobster Tribe was conquered by the Snake Tribe in this way, and Majik was also branded with something... a slave brand. This kind of humiliating memory is indeed impressive."
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaowen suddenly felt dizzy, which was a manifestation of excessive mental exhaustion. He hastily disconnected his mental power connection, let out a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground to recover.
Just after interpreting the memory conch, Bai Xiaowen even used up all the spiritual power stored in the blood essence stone of the dark gold jewelry. It lasted for about a minute, but he still couldn't finish it.
"Are you okay?" Li Shuyi asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I've gradually touched on the secret between the lobster man and the snake man. Let me recover."
Now that he is in a non-combat state, Bai Xiaowen is reluctant to use "Xiyilu", but relies on natural recovery. After about ten minutes, his mental power has recovered to full value.
Bai Xiaowen injected his mental power into the memory conch again.
In the memory conch, there is only the last memory picture left, and the background shown in the picture has a lingering ghost fog, and the ground is a swamp covered with mud, obviously already in the pale mud.
At this time, Magek was already quite old, most of his carapace had fallen off, and the crystal ball inlaid in the staff in his hand was also densely cracked.
He led a group of lobstermen, prostrated themselves in front of the snake-men master, and watched the snake-men turn around and walk into a portal emitting black light. Afterwards, Majik raised his staff and closed the black light door without a single gap.
"Is it over here?" Bai Xiaowen's mental strength withdrew from recalling the conch, a little regretful, "I still haven't seen how the fragmented space of the Necromancer Lake fell off, and then formed a treasure land independently. However, the secret hidden by the snake tribe should be Almost untied."
Bai Xiaowen put away the memory conch, his eyes stayed on the body of Magek, the prophet's staff inlaid with the crystal ball, and bent down to pick up the staff.
"Hey? This piece of equipment didn't come out of the loot box, so it can be taken away?" Li Shuyi was a little surprised.
This is the treasure land of the Necromancer Lake. The difference from the rules of the spirit world is that the corpse of the boss can also be used. For example, after killing the nightmare before, although there is no blood in the treasure chest, Bai Xiaowen can still use the corpse of the nightmare. The blood that flows out washes away the unclean state of the spirits of the elite ghosts.
Even if the corpse can be used, the equipment still needs to be obtained through "legal" means. That is to say, it is impossible to equip yourself with luxurious hero-level equipment if you strip off the humanoid boss in a treasure land space.
Without legally obtained equipment, it will not work at all, just like the difference between the plastic version of Frostmourne customized by people who played in the AD era and the genuine Frostmourne in the hands of the Lich King.
If it is even stricter in the spirit world, you won’t even be given a version of the imitation. Once the equipment leaves the body of the dead boss, it will turn into psionic particles and dissipate.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Look carefully."
After reading it, Li Shuyi realized that this staff was ordinary, without any attributes or additional instructions, so it was obviously unusable. She pouted: "Sure enough, there is no such good thing."
"I took this staff, not because I was thinking about such a beautiful thing of getting something for nothing, but because the secret of entering the snake tribe is hidden in this staff."
As he spoke, Bai Xiaowen shook his hand slightly, and the crystal ball inlaid on the tip of the staff shattered completely, and a roll of animal skin fell from it.
Bai Xiaowen caught the animal skin and unfolded it to watch. The ancient Latin characters on it will not trouble Bai Xiaowen.
After reading it, Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "It really is."
At this time, Shi Haiyan and others' spoils sharing activities had also ended, and they crowded over one after another.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at Shi Haiyan's expression. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't have any obvious dissatisfaction. As for Han Xu's expression, it was a happy expression with a bit of heartache. This kind of expression is rarely seen on the dull Han Xu's face.
Chen Guowei laughed and said, "Old Han is bleeding a lot this time. He spent 27,000 psionic points, but it's worth it."
Bai Xiaowen nodded, the price is not exaggerated, after all, it is a gold-level weapon.
As for other awakened people such as Shi Haiyan, although they did not win the auction, the 27,000 psionic points were distributed according to the contribution of the kill. Everyone can get a few thousand points, and they also feel that they have gained a lot.
On the contrary, Li Shuyi, after hearing that she had spent 27,000 power points, couldn't help complaining to Bai Xiaowen in the team channel:
"Bringing Shi Haiyan and them doesn't seem to be of any use. Instead, it divides our income. Take the lobster army just now. Even if they are not there, you can summon all the summoned creatures and beat the boss."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Have you also taken a fancy to that golden weapon? In fact, it's nothing. That weapon belongs to the one-handed hammer type. The attack method is very different from the sword type weapon. Moreover, it is the main-hand equipment. If you take it, It is time to put Lord Hongye's long sword of glory in his deputy, and his strength may not be improved."
Li Shuyi said angrily: "I don't mean that, I mean, don't bring those people from Shandong University, but only bring Han Xu and Chen Guowei from our school. In this way, more than 20,000 spiritual powers of Han Xuhua can be saved." point."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "Shuyi, broaden your horizons. The fighting difficulty of this lobster tribe is indeed lower than I imagined. The role of Shi Haiyan and others is not obvious. But there are stronger snake tribes behind, call more awakening It’s also good for our companions to share the pressure for us.”
Bai Xiaowen is actually very satisfied with this distribution model. He and Li Shuyi fight the boss, and a group of awakened people fight the elite. It can be said to be a win-win situation. If he and Li Shuyi didn't take these awakened people with them, he and Li Shuyi would be even more exhausted if they beat the elites. They might have to sacrifice a few summoned creatures, and their battle score would be relatively low, so they wouldn't get any good things.
As for the gold weapon being opened in the elite treasure chest, it is a small probability event in itself, and there is no need to be jealous at all with the luxurious equipment of the two of them.
What's more, in the end this golden equipment fell into the hands of alumnus Han Xu, which is already the most satisfactory result.
"The Lobster Tribe is over here, and the Snake Tribe is next," Bai Xiaowen circulated the roll of animal skin to everyone, and seeing that most people couldn't understand it, he explained, "According to the text on the animal skin For the record, the Snakeman Tribe is hidden in the inner isolation circle of the Pale Swamp. To enter the inner isolation circle, a ceremony is required, everyone first help me get the items needed for the ceremony."
The items required for the ritual include: Nether Grass*10, Drowning Bones*10, Mire Hydra Gallbladder*1.
The first two are easy. All the way here, everyone has some Nether Grass and Drowned Bones stocks in their hands. One or two copies per person will solve the problem.
The gallbladder of the swamp hydra is a bit troublesome. Bai Xiaowen killed one before, but he didn't think about taking the gallbladder. Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen read the memory fragments of the lobster man before, and knew that there were mire hydra living in the quagmire near the village, and it was too late to kill them now.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen didn't need to do such a trivial matter of besieging elite monsters. Reading and recalling conch shells consumed Bai Xiaowen's energy, so he needed to take a break. By the way, he first used Nether Grass and Drowning Bones to build the framework of the ceremony.
In addition, Fat Boy's evolutionary hibernation is coming to an end, and he doesn't want to bother.
Bai Xiaowen asked Shi Haiyan and others to go to a nearby quagmire with Han Xu and Chen Guowei, and told everyone about the characteristics of the quagmire hydra and how to deal with it. Seeing the figures of the crowd disappear into the mist, Bai Xiaowen began to fiddle with the ritual frame, and arranged a special symbol on the ground with drowned bones.
"Well."
Just as Bai Xiaowen was preparing for the ceremony, suddenly the fat boy surrounded by four skeleton swords and shields let out an inexplicable hum, turned over, and slowly got up.
