Chapter 969: Stone Gate Puzzle Solved
30 points!
An elite level 10 Ancient Heroic Soul brought Bai Xiaowen up to 30 points of Black Soul Stone growth and soul essence points, which was as much as a leader of the same level, three times that of a normal elite!
Bai Xiaowen looked at the eyes of the other ancient heroic souls, and instantly became much more eager.
But that's not all.
Delifa said in a voice of surprise, "Master, where did you capture these mutilated souls?"
"In the former temple of the Guardian Sect, these heroic souls were supposed to be warriors of the Guardian Sect during their lifetime. In the Song of the Forgotten Kings, it is mentioned that the temple was built by the "Sect of Iliya", which actually represents the guardian sect.
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen asked again, "Do these mutilated souls have any special value, Delifa?"
"It's obvious, host. ”
Delifa said with some excitement: "These heroic souls are fundamentally different from ordinary monsters, they no longer have a complete soul consciousness, only the residual combat instinct remains! These combat instincts are the essence of combat skills that have been tempered for thousands of years, and the most important thing is ...... They can be absorbed by your minions without any restrictions!"
"There is no limit? Are you saying that summoned creatures that have already absorbed the souls of other powerhouses can also absorb the souls of these ancient heroic souls again?" Bai Xiaowen confirmed.
"I have to correct you a little, my dear master," Delifa smiled as his face appeared on the Black Soul Stone, "What the Black Soul Stone has absorbed is not the complete soul of the Ancient Heroic Soul, but just a combat skill. These combat skills, no matter how many times they are absorbed, will not have a substantial effect on minions, and will only allow them to reach level 10 in their related combat perks. ”
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 expertise, but by the master's level of your specialty. They are different from me. ”
Among Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures, except for Delifa and Kitts, who have the ability to act independently, other summoned creatures need Bai Xiaowen's refined control in order to exert their maximum combat power.
Therefore, no matter how high the combat expertise of other summoned creatures is, it is only a difference in the size of the numbers, and it has no practical impact on the battle, and Bai Xiaowen needs to use his combat expertise to control them to fight.
"That's no problem," Bai Xiaowen sighed, holding back the surprise in his heart and said, "I can learn quickly by sharing the combat expertise of the summoned creatures...... You should have known this for a long time, Drifa. ”
Delifa suddenly realized: "Yes, when the master practiced the long-handled weapon specialty, it was through this way of sharing memories...... But in this way, the master needs to learn more. ”
"No problem. ”
Bai Xiaowen counted the types of ancient heroic souls in the field.
The Ancient Shield-Bearer's Heroic Soul represents a level 10 shield mastery specialty.
The Heroic Soul of the Ancient Assassin has a level 10 advanced one-handed swordsmanship specialty.
The Ancient Spellcaster's Heroic Soul has a level 10 meditation specialty.
Ancient Archer Heroic Soul with a level 10 advanced shooting perk......
In the distance, new Ancient Spirits joined the battle, including those armed with two-handed swords and even heavy hammers.
Bai Xiaowen was excited when he saw it.
"Come on...... The more the merrier!"
Instead of going to war, Driffa stayed in the Soul Stone and was busy working on the remnant soul fusion.
It should be noted that soul fusion is not arranged casually, it depends on the specific phase.
For example, the Skeleton Sword and Shield Hand is most suitable for fusion is the Ancient Shield-Wielder Heroic Soul, and the goal is to improve the advanced equipment: shield mastery. However, the "qualifications" of the skeleton sword shield hand itself are average, and feeding one or two shield bearer heroic soul fragments does not improve much, and it is still difficult to directly enter level 10.
Delifa concentrated on feeding a skeleton sword shield hand, and after feeding the fragments of the heroic soul of the three shield wielders, his shield mastery specialty was upgraded from the original advanced level 5 to the advanced level 6.
In contrast, the Shadow Assassin's qualifications were much better, a fragment of the Assassin's Heroic Soul raised his one-handed swordsmanship from advanced level 5 to advanced level 7, and the second fragment made it break through level 8.
The progress speed of the Bone Demon Sorcerer is also similar to that of the Shadow Assassin, and as for the Skeleton Warrior, it is much inferior, probably because it has not absorbed the complete soul of the strong to carry out the 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, waiting until the skeleton warrior absorbed the soul of the strong and completed the mutation.
As for which strong person's soul should be used by the skeleton warrior, Bai Xiaowen was not in a hurry - among his black soul stones, there was a middle-level knight leader who used a two-handed broadsword. There is no shortage of spare strong souls.
But now, Bai Xiaowen's horizons have also broadened a lot, and he wants to wait a little longer to see if he can get a top-level powerhouse soul that uses a two-handed big 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 stone door with many strange patterns engraved on it. On the side of the stone gate, there is also a one-man tall stone tablet, which is also engraved with some simple lines and letters.
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a while at the stone gate and the stone stele.
"It's a code language, with graphics instead of letters. ”
Bai Xiaowen said: "Look at the stone stele, the correspondence between the figure and the letter has been written with the correspondence of the position of the same column...... For example, the triangle corresponds to 'α' and the two crossed crosshairs correspond to 'β'...... Let me remember. The red light in his eyes flickered slightly, and he imprinted all the contents of the stone tablet in his mind.
There are five pairs of letters and patterns on the stele. As for the stone gate, it is all strange patterns that are difficult to identify, with a total of two rows, four figures above and four below.
"What do these eight figures mean, and do they have anything to do with the code words on the stone tablet?" asked Li Shuyi.
Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes and examined the eight patterns, and suddenly smiled: "No, it's just a simple graphical reasoning question." Interesting, it seems that the sages of the guardian sect like this set. ”
At the beginning of the Latent Labyrinth, there were different reasoning problems on each fork in the road, suggesting the right path.
"Graphical reasoning questions?" Li Shuyi repeated.
"Yes, the four figures in the above row are considered to be stems. The four graphs in the lower row are the options. We need to find the correct option through the pattern of the previous row, and then press the pattern ......" Bai Xiaowen gestured, "Have you noticed that there are cracks around the four patterns in the lower row? ”
Li Shuyi looked at Bai Xiaowen in a daze.
"Look at what I'm doing......" Even though Bai Xiaowen was seriously solving the problem, he could feel Li Shuyi's eyes.
"Nothing...... Xiaowen, do you want to tell me, how did you see that this is a graphical reasoning problem from the eight figures without any hints? There is not even a hint of explanation...... "Li Shuyi is difficult to understand, and a question can be seen in the dry eight patterns.
"I just said that. Bai Xiaowen smiled, "There are cracks around the four patterns below, which means that they are all mechanism buttons...... It is not difficult to make associations from this. If you add another reason, it is that the four patterns above are too deliberate and contain the same rules. ”
"What pattern?"
"They're all symmetrical figures. ”
Bai Xiaowen said simply, "From this, we can think that these graphics are generated by folding and photocopying, so we can fold them back and cover half of them, so that we can see them more clearly...... The first shape, which looks like three circles in a row, now what? What do you think?"
Li Shuyi suddenly woke up: "This is ...... Latin 'α' ......"
Li Shuyi looked at the second figure in the first row and said, "Then this one looks like the ancient Chinese traditional Chinese character '門', which should be 'β'...... Next is 'γ', 'δ'......"
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "That's right, so our option should be this one." His palm pressed into the third pattern in the row below.
There was a rumbling sound, the moss on the stone door peeled off one after another, and in the dust, the heavy portal actually sank slowly, revealing the second corridor.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi walked inside.
After killing a group of Ancient Heroes again, the two encountered a second stone gate and a stone tablet. Like the first door, the stone tablet has figures and letters on it, and the stone door has different patterns.
This kind of puzzle solving can only be regarded as a rest after the battle for Bai Xiaowen, allowing the super brain to warm up a little.
