Chapter 969: Stone Gate Puzzle

30 o'clock!

An elite level 10 ancient heroic soul gave Bai Xiaowen as much as 30 points of black soul stone growth and soul essence points, which was as much as a leader of the same level and three times that of a normal elite!

The eyes of Bai Xiaowen looking at other ancient heroic souls became much more eager in an instant.

But not only that.

Delifa's surprised voice sounded: "Master, where did you capture these mutilated souls? It's amazing!"

"In the former temple of the guardian sect, these heroic souls should have been warriors of the guardian sect." In "Song of the Forgotten Kings", it is mentioned that the "Elia sect" who built this temple actually represents the guardian sect.

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen asked again: "Is there any special value for these mutilated souls, Delifa?"

"That's obvious, my lord."

Delifa said with some excitement: "These heroic souls are fundamentally different from ordinary monsters. They no longer have complete soul consciousness, leaving only remnants of fighting instincts! These fighting instincts are the essence of fighting that have been formed after a lot of tempering." Skills, and most importantly...they can be absorbed by your summoned creatures without limit!"

"No limit? You mean, summoned creatures that have absorbed the souls of other strong men can also absorb the souls of these ancient heroic souls again?" Bai Xiaowen confirmed.

"I must make a correction to you, my beloved master," Delifa's face appeared on the Black Soul Stone, showing a charming smile, "What the Black Soul Stone absorbs is not the complete soul of the ancient heroic soul, but just a battle It’s just skills. These combat skills, no matter how many times they are absorbed, will not have a substantial impact on the summoned creatures, and will only make their related combat skills reach level 10.”

After a pause, Delifa said with some regret: "It's a pity that the summoned creatures want to show their strength not by their own combat specialties, but by your master's specialty level. They are different from me."

Among Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures, except Delifa and Kitz, who have the ability to act independently, other summoned creatures need Bai Xiaowen's refined control to exert their maximum combat power.

Therefore, no matter how high the fighting specialties of other summoned creatures are, they are only different in number and have no actual impact on the battle. Bai Xiaowen needs to use his own fighting specialties to control them to fight.

"It's no problem," Bai Xiaowen sighed,

Suppressing the surprise in my heart, I said, "I can learn quickly by sharing the combat specialties of summoned creatures... You should have known this a long time ago, Delifa."

Delifa suddenly realized: "Yes, when the master practiced the polearm specialties, it was through this method of sharing memories... But in this way, the master needs to learn a lot."

"no problem."

Bai Xiaowen counted the types of ancient heroic souls in the field.

The heroic soul of the ancient shield bearer represents the level 10 shield mastering specialty.

The heroic soul of the ancient assassin, has a level 10 advanced one-handed swordsmanship specialty.

The heroic soul of the ancient spellcaster has a level 10 meditation specialty.

The heroic soul of the ancient archer, has a level 10 advanced shooting specialty...

In the distance, there are new ancient heroic souls joining the battle, many of whom are holding two-handed swords or even heavy hammers.

Bai Xiaowen was excited to see that.

"Come on...the more the merrier!"

Delifa did not participate in the battle, but stayed in the soul stone, busy with the work of remnant soul fusion.

What needs to be explained is that soul fusion is not arranged casually, it depends on the specific compatibility.

For example, the skeleton knife and shield hand, the most suitable fusion is the ancient shield bearer heroic soul, the goal is to improve the advanced equipment: shield mastery. However, the "qualification" of the skeleton sword and shield hand itself is average. Feeding one or two fragments of the heroic soul of the shield bearer does not improve much. It is still difficult to directly reach level 10.

Delifa concentratedly fed a skeleton knife shielder, and after feeding the fragments of the heroic souls of the three shield bearers, his shield mastering specialty was upgraded from the original advanced level 5 to advanced level 6.

In contrast, the aptitude of the Shadow Assassin is much better. One fragment of the Assassin's heroic soul has raised his one-handed swordsmanship from advanced level 5 to advanced level 7, and the second fragment has made him break through level 8 .

The progress speed of the dead bone magician is also similar to that of the shadow assassin. As for the skeleton warrior, it is much inferior, probably because it has not absorbed the complete soul of the strong man for mutation.

Bai Xiaowen simply asked Delifa not to feed the skeleton warrior for the time being, and kept the corresponding fragments of the heroic soul, and waited until the skeleton warrior absorbed the soul of the strong man to complete the mutation.

As for which strong man's soul the skeleton warrior should use, Bai Xiaowen was not in a hurry at first - in his black soul stone, there was a vote of an intermediate knight leader who used a two-handed sword. There is no shortage of spare strong souls.

But now, Bai Xiaowen's horizons have broadened a lot. He wants to wait a little longer to see if he can get a soul of a top expert who uses a two-handed sword.

After killing more than a dozen ancient heroic souls, Bai Xiaowen finally cleared the corridor.

At the end of the corridor is a heavy mechanism stone door, engraved with many strange patterns. On the side of the mechanism stone gate, there is also a stone tablet with a height of one person, with some simple lines and letters engraved on it.

Bai Xiaowen pondered for a while looking at the stone gate and the stele.

"It's a code word, using graphics instead of letters."

Bai Xiaowen said: "Look at the stele, the corresponding relationship between the position of the same column has been used to indicate the one-to-one correspondence between graphics and letters... For example, a triangle corresponds to 'α', and two intersecting crosses correspond to 'β'... Let me remember. Take a moment." The red light in his eyes flickered slightly, and he printed all the contents on the stone tablet into his mind.

There are five pairs of letters and patterns on the stele. As for the top of the stone gate, there are all weird patterns that are difficult to identify. There are two lines in total, with four patterns on the top and four on the bottom.

"What do these eight figures mean? Is it related to the code word on the stele?" Li Shuyi asked.

Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes to examine the eight patterns, and suddenly smiled and said: "No, this is just a simple graphical reasoning question. It's interesting. It seems that the sages of the guardian sect really like this set."

Back then in the hidden shadow maze, each fork in the road was a different reasoning problem, suggesting the correct path.

"Graphical reasoning questions?" Li Shuyi repeated.

"Yes, the four figures in the upper row are the main questions. The four figures in the lower row are the options. We need to find the correct option according to the patterns in the previous row, and then press the pattern..." Bai Xiaowen gestured For a moment, "Did you notice that there are cracks around the four patterns in the lower row? This is the moving mechanism, but it is covered by moss and dust, so it is not easy to see."

Li Shuyi looked at Bai Xiaowen in a daze.

"Look at me..." Even though Bai Xiaowen was solving the problem seriously, he could still feel Li Shuyi's eyes.

"It's nothing...Xiaowen, would you like to tell me, how did you figure out that this is a graph reasoning question from the eight graphs with no hint information? There is not even a hint..." Li Shuyi found it difficult to understand , a problem can be seen among the eight dry patterns.

"I've just said it." Bai Xiaowen smiled, "there are cracks around the four patterns below, which means they are mechanism buttons... It's not difficult to associate it from this. If you add another reason, it is the four patterns above. This pattern is too deliberate, and it contains the same law."

"What rule?"

"They are all left-right symmetrical figures."

Bai Xiaowen said simply, "From this, it can be imagined that these graphics are produced by folding photocopies, so we can fold them back and cover half of them, so that we can see them more clearly... The first graphic looks like three A line of circles, now? What do you think?"

Li Shuyi suddenly realized: "This is... the Latin letter 'α'..."

Li Shuyi looked at the second figure in the first row, and said: "Then this one looks like the ancient Chinese traditional character 'door', it should be 'β'... followed by 'γ', 'δ'..."

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "That's right, so our option should be this one." He pressed his palm into the third pattern on the row below.

There was a rumbling sound, and the moss on the stone door peeled off one after another. Amidst the dust, this heavy door slowly sank, revealing the second corridor.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi stepped inside.

After killing a group of ancient heroic souls again, the two encountered a second stone gate and stele. Like the first door, there are graphics and letters on the stele, and different patterns on the stone door.

For Bai Xiaowen, this kind of puzzle solving can only be regarded as a rest after the battle, allowing the super brain to warm up a little.
