The job transfer mission went smoothly. Next, you only need to go to the Frozen Tomb and collect 100 points of soul energy to complete the job transfer. The hero profession is beckoning.
However, Bai Xiaowen was very unusual. He did not race against time to carry out the task as before, but instead entered the "Wolf Heart Tavern" in Pointed Helm City.
For three consecutive days, Bai Xiaowen squandered the coins he collected from the Imperial Army stronghold, drunkenly and dreamily all day long, and became brothers with a group of Viking tough men, becoming the most popular person in the tavern.
Seeing that eight days had passed since the 10-day task deadline, Bai Xiaowen still went his own way, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.
The evening of the eighth day.
Bai Xiaowen sat in front of the big bonfire as usual, drinking northern mead with two resistance soldiers until his tongue was a little big.
A thin man quietly walked through the crowd and came to Bai Xiaowen's side.
"Dior, the information you want me to check is pretty clear."
Bai Xiaowen laughed and waved to several drinking buddies, then followed the thin man away and came to his room.
After closing the door, the drunken look on Bai Xiaowen's face disappeared without a trace.
"Tell me," Bai Xiaowen took out the jingling money bag and threw it on the table, "As long as your information is detailed enough, these are all yours."
The thin man nicknamed "Mole" across from him swallowed his saliva. He was one of the most famous intelligence dealers in Pointed Helm City, and he did a lot of work.
"Just yesterday, a group of specially dressed people sneaked into the Pointed Helm City. Everyone was covered up tightly. My people pretended to be patrols and went over to question them," Mole said. "I followed the questions you designed.
I asked them if they were vampires. As a result... they reacted violently, as if they had been subjected to some kind of unforgivable insult."
"Them?" Bai Xiaowen repeated.
"That's right, they are all women. They are all covered up and down, not even an inch of skin is exposed. Even a fool can tell that they are a group of nuns." Mole showed a trace of wretchedness.
"Okay," Bai Xiaowen pursed his lips and gestured to the money bag on the table, "It's yours. Mole, I hope you can abide by professional ethics and strictly keep secrets."
The Mole immediately changed his expression to a serious one: "Of course, Dio. I swear by my grandfather's beard that I will keep the information about every client secret."
Of course, Bai Xiaowen would not believe the guarantee of an information dealer. The so-called keeping secrets was just because the price offered by others was not high enough. He waved his hand and left the room with Mole one after another.
Bai Xiaowen went directly to the stable to pick up the horse, his movements were vigorous and vigorous, completely different from the previous laziness.
Ten minutes later, Bai Xiaowen's figure disappeared into the vast snow north of Jiangui City.
…
Frozen tomb.
This is a huge and desolate cemetery with broken tombstones everywhere. In the light mist, a few skeletons can be vaguely seen wandering in the distance.
It was windy and bitingly cold.
Bai Xiaowen gave an insight to one of the skeletons.
Skill 1: Hollow Skeleton: The skeleton warrior is immune to bleeding and has a 10% dodge chance against small puncture damage.
"The total attributes are 15 and there is only one passive defense skill. This kind of skeleton warrior should be the weakest. It is only equivalent to the zombie rats encountered in the plague rat den."
Bai Xiaowen curled his lips. He discovered tragically that in a head-to-head encounter, he might not be the Skeleton Warrior's opponent...
The strength is equal, the agility is 2 points higher, but the important constitution is 3 points lower! This represents a full 30-point difference in maximum health.
I have no choice but to be obscene.
Bai Xiaowen crouched, hiding behind a tombstone, aiming at a wandering skeleton warrior, whoosh!
Shot empty.
Bai Xiaowen twitched the corner of his mouth. Moving targets at long distances is much more difficult than fixed targets.
The sound of breaking through the air aroused the skeleton warrior's alertness, and it obviously accelerated its wandering frequency, patrolling left and right, looking for the source of the attack.
Bai Xiaowen could only continue to shoot with patience. The second arrow hit the target and successfully attracted the skeleton warrior.
Seeing a thick skeleton charging towards him with a broken shield and dagger, the explosion speed was actually quite fast, which would definitely frighten an ordinary rookie to death.
However, Bai Xiaowen's psychological quality was very good. He had already calculated that with the running speed of the skeleton warrior and the distance between the two sides, he would have enough time to shoot two more arrows before the opponent rushed over.
Both arrows hit accurately.
Seeing that the health bar of the skeleton warrior rushing in front of him was reduced by more than half, Bai Xiaowen threw away the hard bow of birch wood, took out a small dagger and slashed at it.
In order to prevent the skeleton warrior's 10% dodge ability from taking effect, Bai Xiaowen did not use the most commonly used method of stabbing with a dagger, but instead chopped.
After two strikes, the skeleton warrior's health bar was emptied, and he fell to the ground with a crash. The soul fire in his two deep eyes slowly extinguished. However, before he fell, the tattered dagger in his hand also successfully struck Bai Xiaowen.
A wound is left, and 5 health points are deducted.
Bai Xiaowen's mouth twitched. 5 points of health were 1/4 of his total health. If he was slashed twice by the skeleton warrior, his health bar would be over half. If he received a critical hit or a critical attack, he would be dead.
"Charging is so difficult." Bai Xiaowen touched the soul stone tied to his waist and sighed.
An invisible ray of cold energy floated over, and Bai Xiaowen received further hints:
"Do you want to absorb the soul energy of the skeleton warrior?"
Bai Xiaowen chose no without hesitation. He picked up the hard bow made of white birch and walked through the broken tombstones, looking for the next target.
Bai Xiaowen's two specialties, advanced shooting and advanced equipment (one-handed sword type), are slowly increasing his proficiency.
However, Bai Xiaowen ignored all the soul energy that floated out after killing the skeleton warrior, and ignored it all.
Suddenly, the soul stone vibrated.
The image of a banshee appears on the surface of the Soul Stone.
"Why not absorb this soul energy? We are very hungry and need to eat!"
The sound is very weak.
Bai Xiaowen was startled at first. He looked around and finally discovered the movement of the soul stone.
"Who are you?" Bai Xiaowen frowned, "I saw you in the plague rat den... when I just got the soul stone." He remembered that this banshee tried to confuse his spirit.
However, what Bai Xiaowen didn't know was that the mysterious bloody eyeball in his left eye caused the banshee in front of him to suffer a big loss, so that even now the banshee's eyes are still a little dodgey, and she doesn't dare to look into Bai Xiaowen's eyes:
"My name is Delifa. I was once a count, and now I am the spokesperson for the will of many dead in the soul stone."
Bai Xiaowen was not frightened by these words. He knew very well that whether it was Banshee Delifa or Countess Delifa, they were just empty shells of consciousness and posed no threat to him, so his tone was relatively relaxed:
"Ah, it turns out to be Miss Delifa. What wind blew you out? Since the last time you tried to control me failed, haven't you been hiding in the soul stone and not showing up?"
