Chapter 411: Memories Conch (2-in-1)
Han Xu hesitated, shook his head and said, "I still don't want it." ”
Bai Xiaowen recalled that the last time he was in the Great Rift Valley of Broken Ridge Mountain, when he came out to share the spoils, Han Xu seemed to only have five or six thousand spiritual energy points on his body.
This shows that the level of attention that Han Xu has received in the Jingwu Guild is actually very ordinary. Otherwise, an intermediate elite awakened person would not even be able to take out more than 10,000 psionic points.
"This golden weapon is very rare, after this village, there will be no such shop," Bai Xiaowen said softly, "I suggest that you still compete for this equipment, don't worry about psionic points." ”
After speaking, Bai Xiaowen directly chose the transaction and gave Han Xu 30,000 spiritual energy points.
Han Xu shook his head again and again, his face flushed. He felt very embarrassed, last time Bai Xiaowen helped him buy medicine, although he gave money, this favor is still there. Now that he wants to use Bai Xiaowen's spiritual energy points, he feels even more inappropriate.
"Okay, I'll lend it to you, and you'll return it to me when you have plenty of money in the future," Bai Xiaowen insisted, "There will be a CUAA national competition next semester, and you, as an important MT in the team, must always improve your strength." ”
"This, too much. ”
"It's not much, this weapon is worth thirty thousand. Even if you have a few thousand psionic points, will life be gone after you buy this weapon?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Equipment enhancement, skill upgrading, and use of the training ground all require psionic points." Again, I am borrowing, not a gift, and you will have to repay it later. ”
Han Xu really wanted this weapon very much in his heart. He no longer shirked, and accepted 30,000 spiritual energy points: "I will definitely pay you back." ”
Bai Xiaowen smiled and motioned for Han Xu to come over and bid.
Most of the awakened people were deaf and clear-sighted, and although Bai Xiaowen and Han Xu were talking in a small voice, most of the people present heard it.
Shi Haiyan was a little apprehensive at first, he had a need for this golden weapon, so he was afraid that Bai Xiaowen would favor Han Xu, an alumnus, and jump out to point fingers at the distribution of loot, and even use power to force him to give up this weapon.
If that's the case, Shi Haiyan will have to weigh whether it is worth continuing to compete for this golden weapon - if he befriends Bai Xiaowen for this, there will be more benefits to exploring the snake tribe in the future, but he will not have a chance.
It's just that although Bai Xiaowen leaned towards Han Xu, he didn't exert additional favoritism, and just lent Han Xu a spiritual energy point.
In this way, Shi Haiyan at least has the courage to continue bidding.
Bai Xiaowen did not favor Han Xu too much, and it also made the other awakened students of Shandong University feel very comfortable. For them, the higher the price of the gold weapon, the better. The higher the price, the higher their share of the token.
If Bai Xiaowen forced Han Xu to get this golden weapon at a very low price, it would be equivalent to compressing everyone's income, and it would definitely cause resentment.
Not to mention Han Xu and Shi Haiyan's further bidding, after Bai Xiaowen lent out the psionic points, he and Li Shuyi returned to the corpse of the leader of the lobster people, the shadow prophet Majik.
The special item dropped by the Shadow Prophet Majik: Memory Conch, Bai Xiaowen plans to study it carefully. He chose to use the Conch of Remembrance.
The spirit rule says: "Using the Conch of Remembrance will continue to consume your mental power, 1 point per second." Do you want to confirm it?"
Bai Xiaowen chose yes. He suddenly felt that his spiritual power tentacles extended into this small conch, and the light in front of him flashed slightly, completely engulfing him.
The image of the lobster people's leader Majik's memories appeared in front of Bai Xiaowen.
The images of these memories are all silent, and Bai Xiaowen looks at them through his spiritual power, as if he is watching a silent movie.
The first scene is a small village on a shoal, where juvenile lobsters are chasing and frolicking, surrounded by huts made of shells and seaweed.
"It seems that this is the carefree time of the Shadow Prophet Madjik when he was young. This is obviously not a pale quagmire......" Bai Xiaowen's brain was running rapidly, "Could it be that this is the spirit plane before the space debris of the Necronomicon Lake peeled off?"
Bai Xiaowen looked at the group of crayfish people for a while, and really couldn't tell which one was like Majik, so he could only give up this effort.
The second act of reminiscence is in front of an altar.
Above the altar, there is a huge statue of the lobster man, tall and mighty, several circles larger than the leader-level lobster man.
In front of the altar, offerings such as pearl scallops were placed, and then an old lobster man with a slightly gray carapace handed a wooden staff inlaid with a crystal ball to a young lobster man with a brightly colored carapace next to him.
The young lobster man raised the crystal ball wooden staff, and the crowd of other lobster people around him fell to the ground and raised their pincers, as if cheering.
"This young lobster man should be Majik. It was like some kind of inheritance ceremony, and it was a precious memory for Majik to take the scepter from the old prophet and become the new prophet. Bai Xiaowen thought to himself.
Since then, it has been more convenient to distinguish Madjik himself from other lobster people, in short, the one holding the crystal ball wooden staff must be Madjik.
In the third act of reminiscence, the snake man finally appears.
Madjik's big crow was broken, and he looked very embarrassed. And the snake man in front of him had the expression of a victor.
The snake man is different from the lobster man, he is half human and half snake, and his facial features are no different from those of a human except for the fine cyan scales on his upper body, so he can see the expression. As for the expression of the lobster man, it can only be guessed.
There seems to be an argument between Magik and the snake man, and both sides are using exaggerated gestures to express their anger fiercely. Just look at the background, the lobster people's village hut has been firmly surrounded by a group of snake people's armies.
Eventually, Magik succumbed and a four-armed female snake leader emerged from the snake man camp, and she volleyed a glowing rune embedded in Magik's body.
Magik didn't resist and let the runes enter her body. After a trembling moment, he prostrated under the snake's tail of the female snake leader and swore allegiance.
"It seems that the lobster tribe was conquered by the snake tribe in this way, and Majik was also branded with some kind of ...... Slave branding and the like, this humiliating memory, will indeed be impressive. ”
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaowen suddenly felt dizzy, which was a manifestation of excessive loss of mental power. He hurriedly disconnected his spiritual power, sighed, and sat on the ground to recover.
Just after interpreting the memory conch, Bai Xiaowen even used up the spiritual power stored in the dark gold jewelry blood essence stone, which could last for about a minute, but he still couldn't finish it.
"Are you alright?" asked Li Shuyi with concern.
"I'm fine. I've gradually touched on the secret between the lobster man and the snake man, and I'll recover. ”
Now that it is a non-combat state, Bai Xiaowen is reluctant to use the "Freehand Record", but relies on natural recovery, and after about ten minutes, his mental power has recovered to full value.
Bai Xiaowen once again injected his spiritual power into the conch of memory.
Inside the conch of memories, only the last memory picture remains, and the background of the picture is a haunting ghost fog, and the ground is a swamp covered with silt, which is obviously in the pale mire.
At this time, Majik was already quite old, most of the carapace on his body had fallen off, and the crystal ball inlaid with the staff in his hand was also full of cracks.
He led a group of lobster men, prostrate in front of the snake people's master, and watched as the snake people turned and walked into a portal that emitted black light. Afterwards, Magik raised his staff and closed the black light door without a single gap.
"That's the end here?" Bai Xiaowen's spiritual power withdrew from the Memory Conch, a little regretful, "I still haven't seen the process of how the debris space of the Necronomicon Lake falls off and then forms a treasure land independently." However, the hidden secrets of the snake tribe should be almost solved. ”
Bai Xiaowen put away the memory conch, his eyes stayed on Majik's corpse, the prophetic staff inlaid with crystal balls, and bent down to pick up the staff.
"Hey, this piece of equipment wasn't burst out of the loot treasure chest, can it be taken away?" Li Shuyi was a little surprised.
This is the Necronomicon Treasure Land space, which is slightly different from the rules of the spirit world, and the corpse of the boss can also be used, such as killing the Nightmare before, although the blood did not burst out in the treasure chest, Bai Xiaowen can still use the blood flowing from the corpse of the Nightmare to wash away the unclean state of the elite ghost's spirit.
Even if the corpse can be used, the equipment still needs to be obtained through "legal" means, that is, if you strip a humanoid boss in the treasure space, it is impossible to give yourself a whole luxurious hero-level equipment.
Without legally acquired equipment, it won't work at all, just like the difference between a plastic version of Frostmourn made by cosplayers in the Common Era and a genuine version of Frostmourn in the hands of the Lich King.
If it's even stricter in the spirit world, you won't even be given a cosplay version of the imitation, and 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 Li Shuyi saw it, she found that this staff was ordinary, without any attributes and additional instructions, and it was obviously unusable. She pouted: "Sure enough, there is no such good thing." ”
"I didn't take this staff because I wanted this kind of unearned goodness, but because I entered the secret of the snake tribe, which was hidden in this staff. ”
As he spoke, Bai Xiaowen's hand shook slightly, and the crystal ball embedded in the tip of the staff was completely shattered, 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 are difficult for Bai Xiaowen.
After reading it, Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Sure enough, that's the case." ”
At this time, Shi Haiyan and the others' spoils distribution activities had also ended, and they crowded over one after another.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at Shi Haiyan's expression, although he was a little lost, he didn't have any obvious dissatisfaction. Han Xu's expression was a happy look with a little flesh pain, which was rare on Han Xu's face.
Chen Guowei laughed and said: "Old Han is bleeding heavily this time, and he spent 27,000 spiritual energy points, but it's worth it." ”
Bai Xiaowen nodded, this price is actually not exaggerated, after all, it is a gold-level weapon.
As for Shi Haiyan and other awakened people, although they did not win the auction, they distributed these 27,000 psionic points according to the contribution of kills, and everyone could get a few thousand points, which also felt that the harvest was good.
On the contrary, it was Li Shuyi, after hearing that it cost 27,000 psionic points, she couldn't help but complain to Bai Xiaowen a little in the team channel:
"With Shi Haiyan, they don't seem to be of much use, but they have diluted our gains. Take the lobster man troops just now, even if they are not there, all your summoned creatures will be summoned, and you can still beat the boss. ”
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "You also fancy that golden weapon? Actually, it's nothing, that weapon belongs to the one-handed hammer system, the attack method is very different from the sword weapon, and it is the main hand equipment, if you take it, you have to put the Red Leaf Lord's glory sword in the deputy hand, and the strength may not be improved." ”
Li Shuyi said angrily: "I didn't mean that, I mean, I don't bring those people from Shandong University, only Han Xu and Chen Guowei from our school." In this way, it can also save more than 20,000 spiritual energy points of Han Xuhua. ”
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "Shuyi, broaden your horizons." The difficulty of the battle of this lobster tribe is indeed lower than I imagined, and the role of Shi Haiyan and the others is not obvious. However, there are stronger snake tribes in the future, and it would be good to gather some more fellow awakened ones 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, which can be said to be a win-win situation. If he didn't bring these awakened people, he and Li Shuyi would easily beat the elite, and they would be even more tired, maybe they would have to sacrifice a few summoned creatures, and the battle score would be relatively low, and they wouldn't be able to get anything good.
As for the golden weapon in the elite treasure chest, it is a small probability event in itself, and with the luxury of the equipment of the two of them, there is no need to be blushing at all.
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 Man Tribe is over here, and the next thing is the Snake Man Tribe," Bai Xiaowen circulated the animal skin to everyone, and when he saw that most people couldn't understand it, he opened his mouth to explain, "According to the written record on the animal skin, the Snake Man Tribe is hidden in the internal isolation circle of the Pale Swamp. To enter the inner isolation circle, a ritual is required, and you can help me get the items needed for the ritual first. ”
The following items are required for the ritual: Nether Grass*10, Drowning Bone*10, Mire Hydra Gallbladder*1.
The first two are very easy, all the way here, everyone has a little inventory of Nether Grass and Drowning Bones in their hands, and one person can get together one or two copies and solve it.
The quagmire hydra gallbladder is a bit troublesome, Bai Xiaowen killed one before, but he didn't think about taking the gallbladder. Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen read the lobster man's memory fragments before and knew that there were swamp hydras living in the quagmire near the village, and it was too late to kill them now.
This kind of trivial matter of besieging and killing elite monsters, of course, does not need Bai Xiaowen to take action, reading the conch of memories consumes a lot of Bai Xiaowen's energy, he needs to take a break, and by the way, he first uses the Nether Grass and the Drowning Bone to build the framework of the ritual.
In addition, the fat boy's evolutionary dormancy is coming to an end, and he doesn't want to toss.
Bai Xiaowen asked Shi Haiyan and the others to go to the 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 everyone's figures disappear into the mist, Bai Xiaowen began to fiddle with the ritual framework, arranging a special symbol on the ground with the drowning bones.
"Hmm. ”
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 got up slowly.
