Chapter 264: The Growth of the Black Soul Stone (2-in-1)

At this time, Baishi Town, compared with the ruins at the beginning, has a lot of difference, wooden houses are scattered, and you can see smoke rising one after another.

Several leaders surrounded Bai Xiaowen and others to the scene of the latest tragedy.

More than a day has passed since the incident, and these leaders have no awareness of protecting the scene, and in front of Bai Xiaowen are only two mutilated bones.

These two bones are very miserable. In one of them, a large hole appeared in the stomach, and the dark red blood had clotted. The other one, his neck was twisted a full hundred and eighty degrees, and even his tongue was sticking out.

And in addition to these two fatal wounds, the body of the deceased was mottled with blood, and not a single piece of flesh was intact.

Li Shuyi held back the discomfort in her stomach, frowned and said, "What kind of monster is it? When you saw it at that time, didn't you even find any clues?"

Anton shook his head: "We suspect it's a flying monster...... Because there weren't any monster footprints at the scene. ”

Bai Xiaowen squatted down and began to identify the bones.

"It shouldn't have been done by a monster," Bai Xiaowen said, "You see, the wounds on the deceased's thighs, calves, and arms have traces of sharp blade cutting, and they should be man-made...... In this case, it is easy to understand that there are no footprints, and the murderer is more cautious and erases the footprints. ”

Bai Xiaowen stood up and continued: "From the death of the deceased, part of the scene at the time of the crime can be restored. For example, the second deceased had severe bruises on his head and left shoulder, and the fatal injuries were a twisted neck. Among the murderers, there must have been a very tall fellow, who grabbed the deceased's shoulder with one hand and grabbed his head with the other, and just like that......"

Bai Xiaowen made a demonstration move, which made the people present, especially the leaders of Baishi Town, feel a cold neck.

Li Shuyi quickly took on the role of Conan: "In this case, the murderer's height must be forty or fifty centimeters taller than the deceased, and at least two meters or more...... Is there such a tall person in White Stone?"

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 who are taller." ”

As a miner, Anton is also relatively tall and strong, with a height of 1.8 meters. When he said this, it undoubtedly showed that the murderer was not from White Rock Town.

"Have you noticed that the body of the deceased is covered with wounds, and the flesh and skin have been cut off in many places. Bai Xiaowen said.

Several people nodded at the same time.

"In general, a murderer doesn't make any superfluous moves unless he's a pervert. The two deceased, one with a broken neck and the other with a large transparent hole in his stomach, were already fatal injuries that died on the spot. Why did the murderer cut off their flesh and skin?"

Bai Xiaowen said to himself, "There is a possibility that the murderer is a pervert." It is more likely that the murderer was in revenge and abused the victim before he died. And the biggest one is ...... It's the murderer who needs this meat as a ...... Food!"

Everyone in the field changed color.

"Xiao ...... Brother, shouldn't it be?" Li Shuyi's face turned a little pale. She had only heard the story of the ancient "Yizi cannibalism" in the history books, and she had never thought about such a terrible thing as people would eat people.

"There's no need to make such a fuss. If the last hypothesis is true, the perpetrators are supposed to be remnants from the Sinful Realm. Only those subhuman races among the remnants will see our Terrans as moving rations. Moreover, in the subhuman race, 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 monster cannibalism incident, I won't bother to just relocate all the residents of Baishi Town. But if the remnants of the Sin Domain are infested, it is necessary to track it down, at least to understand the general strength of the remnants of the Sin Domain. Bai Xiaowen said.

The angry claw sniffed on the bones of the two deceased, and then rubbed his head against Bai Xiaowen's waist, and his head turned in the direction of the north, and he moved his claws.

"Let's go after the murderer. Anton, you go and deliver my order, let the villagers pack their bags, assemble, and wait in the open space in front of the lord's mansion. When I come back, I'll take you to move to Red Leaf City. There are strong walls there, which can resist even if the remnants invade the northern frontier in a big way. ”

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi rode on the angry claws and ran all the way north.

Along the way, Furious Paw will occasionally stop, sniff at the ground, and continue running.

"Angry Claw also has this kind of use for chasing murderers, and its nose is the same as that of a dog. Li Shuyi hugged Bai Xiaowen's waist and whispered.

"The wolf and the dog were originally a family. Dogs have been domesticated by humans for a long time and lack experience in predation in the wild. Biological evolution is the law of entry and retreat, so the wolf's sense of smell is better than that of dogs. Fury Paw is the leader of the mutant wolf pack, and of course has a sharper sense of smell. Bai Xiaowen said.

......

To the north of White Stone, in front of a small valley in the middle of nowhere, Furious Paw quietly stopped, its claws shaving, and a low whine came out of its mouth.

"There are traces of man-made activity. ”

Bai Xiaowen squatted 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 peculiar, with only two toes, one large and one small, at the very front of the long ball, and a small protruding heel at the heel, which seems to be a third toe.

Bai Xiaowen used the incidental skill of the Black Soul Stone to return the dead, and a vote of undead summoned creatures appeared beside him.

As for Dr. Zombie, he has an independent consciousness and personality, and on the premise of Bai Xiaowen's consent, he can not respond to Bai Xiaowen's call.

Bai Xiaowen ordered the shadow assassin to stealth as usual and sneaked into the valley.

There are several hide-in tents in the valley, and in the center is a bonfire on which pieces of meat of unknown origin are grilled.

Around the campfire, three humanoids sat around, each tall and slender, with blue skin and sharp fangs extending out of their mouths. Bai Xiaowen is very familiar with this dignified face, before entering the Kane plane world, he has drawn this template of humanoid creature image - the troll clan.

As the Shadow Assassin approached, one of the trolls let out an "um", his head tilted slightly, and his slightly pointed ears were slightly erected.

This troll's perception was obviously very high, and Bai Xiaowen controlled the shadow assassin to slowly retreat without stepping into the opponent's alert range.

Then, Bai Xiaowen ended sharing his vision with the Shadow Assassin, opened his eyes and said, "There are three trolls in total. It looks like they should all be elite creatures, and they don't pose much of a threat to us, so let's go straight to it. ”

Li Shuyi nodded, she couldn't wait to teach these human flesh-eating guys a lesson.

When a summoned creature rushed into the valley and blocked the valley entrance, the three trolls were still roaming around for a human barbecue feast.

A string of incomprehensible words came out of the mouth of the troll in the middle, but Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi couldn't understand the meaning. When they first entered the Kane plane, they spent 100 psionic points to get only the lingua franca (ancient Latin), and the trolls clearly spoke another language.

If you don't understand the language, then there is no need to communicate. Just after the trolls were drawn to the attention of the skeletal swords and shieldmen who were standing side by side, the Shadow Assassin struck first, throwing out his assassination skills and hitting one of the trolls in the back of the heart.

Bai Xiaowen threw an insight skill at the troll.

【Sogo Tooth (Elite Level 5)】

[Race: Humanoid/Troll]

[Class: Troll Headhunter]

[Attributes: Strength 15, Agility 25, Constitution 24, Spirit 10]

[Skill: Berserk, Regeneration, Bloody Assassination]

The strength of this level 5 elite surprised Bai Xiaowen a little, mainly because the three skills were quite strong.

[Berserk] is a skill that continuously stacks attack speed, normal attacks have a chance to trigger, each trigger stacks a stack, each stack increases attack speed by 10%, up to 50%!

[Regeneration] is a passive ability of the troll race, which accelerates the recovery rate of health, and can consume a certain amount of physical energy in battle to restore one's own disability (severed limbs).

The last [Bloody Assassination] is the ultimate, which consumes half of its own health, and applies the ancient spell of the Ancient Troll to the war spear, dealing equal magic damage to enemies in a straight line!

Of course, when it comes to skill dominance, this level 5 elite troll headhunter may not be better than trainee knight Berneta.

But you must know that Bernita herself is a knight of divine grace, and there is a high chance of evolving into a leader at a high level, so she has such a strong skill! Others, not to mention impostors like Kitts, are most knights in the Holy See, and they don't have the potential of Berita.

If the skill of this elite troll is the ability of all troll headhunters, then the combat power of the remnants is really a bit terrifying. With a few more elite troll headhunters, it is estimated that they can kill the boss of the same level if they use the ultimate regardless of the disability.

Thankfully, the Shadow Assassin's attack worked, and he managed to impale the first troll's vest, dealing high damage and inflicting bleeding.

After the three trolls saw Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, the two humans, they quickly gave up their intention to communicate and roared and charged at Bai Xiaowen. They also have a peculiar way of attacking, shooting with spears thrown from behind, but at close range.

After a baptism of spear throwing, the four skeletal shieldmen rushed into the melee range of the three troll headhunters. However, the three troll hunters took off their spears from behind their backs and held them with both hands, fighting against the white blades of the skeleton sword and shield hand, without the slightest intention of retreating.

"It can be far or near, it can be attacked or defended, it is really a strong class. ”

Bai Xiaowen commanded the angry claws to pounce and bite the injured troll's arm. With a click, the [Tear] disabling effect triggered, and the troll's arm was bitten off in half.

The wounded troll roared, grabbed the severed arm in his left hand, and took a step back. The other two trolls quickly came to the rescue, the passive ability rage special effect was superimposed, and the two war spears stabbed the angry claws one after another, and then pulled back and poked again!

And the first troll, with its left hand pounding its chest, roared, and the green veins on its forehead were exposed, as if it was suffering great pain. And where his right arm was broken, a pale cyan arm suddenly burst out, which was a little lighter than the other skin on his body.

This is the racial ability of the troll clan [Regeneration], and it is really tough. However, the first troll seemed to have a lot of physical exertion, took two breaths, and did not continue to attack for the time being.

On this side, Bai Xiaowen manipulated the angry claw to eat two rounds of four attacks, and his health dropped to 60%. With the blessing of the Lv4 skill special effect [Blood Fury], Fury Claw's eyes quickly turned red, and there was an extra 40% more critical strike chance on his body!

Snort, the [Laceration] skill was thrown out, just triggering a critical hit, and the second troll was almost disemboweled, and it was directly hung with heavy bleeding!

Crit, crit!

The neck of the second troll was bitten off, and blood spurted wildly. This terrible injury, no matter how strong the regeneration ability is, can't be saved, and it will be killed directly!

The third troll screamed, snapped his middle finger, smeared the blood on the spear, and stabbed the furious claw with a slam of the spear. This spear, with a terrifying blood-colored light, was stirring in the wind, and there was a feeling that people couldn't open their eyes.

“...... There are too many superfluous movements. ”

Bai Xiaowen was waiting for this moment, and he directly turned on [Deterrence]!

Enemies whose mental power is lower than 11 (including 11) will fall into a coma! Even if it is higher than 11, after the judgment of the deterrence skill is passed, they will enter a state of fear! This is the special effect of [Deterrence] after it is increased to Lv4, "Crush"!

The third troll's spirit was slightly higher, and he fell into a state of fear, and his ultimate move [Explosive Blood Assassination] was stillborn. And the first one, a troll who had just been reborn with a broken arm, fell into a coma and was killed by Li Shuyi and the summoned creatures.

As for the third troll, it used half of its health for nothing. Bai Xiaowen's Desert Eagle was at the center of his eyebrows, and he shot directly in the head, without giving him any chance.

After the battle, a message from the spirit rules came:

"You eliminated the Sin Realm Alliance's Troll Scout Squad. ”

"Your reputation with the Terran Coalition has increased, currently: Friendly. ”

"Your reputation in the Sinful Coalition has been reduced and is currently Hatred. ”

"You have earned Terran Combine faction merit points: 107. Visit the Quartermaster Basil Heber at Black Rock Fortress to inspect and exchange your supplies. ”

Li Shuyi also got a hint of merit points, and the two of them summed it up, killing a level 5 elite troll, a total of 50 merit points will be rewarded, which will be distributed according to the contribution to the kill.

"It seems that the remnants of the Sinful Domain Coalition have begun to infiltrate before the war. So during the time when we were developing the antidote, we did have something to do. Find and kill these scout teams to get a lot of merit points. Bai Xiaowen said.

Li Shuyi agreed.

However, what made Bai Xiaowen even more concerned was that his exclusive equipment: Black Soul Stone, after absorbing the souls of the three trolls, had finally been upgraded to level 4!
