Chapter 389 The Ominous Breath and the Bone of Drowning (2 in 1)
"It's in, it's in."
The intermediate awakeners from major universities who were waiting by the Lake of the Dead jumped into the lake one after another.
It should be noted that the awakened person itself has a psychic field. When the psychic field is opened underwater, the oxygen is enough to breathe for a short period of time. Generally speaking, the breath-holding ability of an intermediate awakened person is about ten minutes.
Therefore, these Awakened students jump directly into the lake, and it only takes two or three minutes to swim to the bottom of the lake and enter the portal of the treasure space. They do not need to carry any additional diving props.
The awakened person who was just responsible for the inspection needs to be underwater for a long time to observe the opening degree of the treasure land space portal, so he has to carry an oxygen bottle.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi swam after entering the water, and felt that the water in the Lake of the Dead was indeed cold to the bone. This cold feeling directly affects the spirit. Ordinary people may not be able to withstand it, that is, their physiques are far beyond the awakening of ordinary people.
Only then can one endure the biting feeling of Yin Qi.
The two swam for more than a minute before arriving at the bottom of the lake and seeing a slightly dim light curtain. This was obviously the entrance to the treasure space of Lake of the Dead.
Li Shuyi gently shook Bai Xiaowen's hand and made a cheering gesture. Bai Xiaowen nodded with a smile, and the two of them jumped into the light curtain one after the other.
A slight feeling of weightlessness came. Bai Xiaowen entered the light curtain in an inverted posture with his head down and his feet up. But after entering the light curtain, his body clearly did not move, but in terms of feeling, he returned to his head.
Normal standing posture at the feet.
This feeling is very strange, as if the whole world has turned upside down, the sky has turned into the earth, and the earth has turned into the sky.
When the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, the scenery in front of me finally became fixed.
"Oh my god...have I come to hell or the underworld?"
The sky above Bai Xiaowen was dark, completely covered by swirling dark blue clouds.
The ground beneath your feet is full of cracks. Small cracks are only one finger wide, and some cracks are more than ten meters wide. They can already be called canyons.
The land is generally dark brown, and wisps of white mist surge from the cracks in the earth from time to time.
Bai Xiaowen knew that this kind of white mist is called "ghost mist", which is different from the normal mist on the earth. It is formed by the condensed power of yin energy and resentment, and is cold to the bone.
The awakened person will automatically acquire an immediate negative state in the ghost fog area: Yin Qi is lingering, and the recovery speed of physical strength, health value and mental power will be greatly reduced, approaching a stagnant state. In other words, the ghost fog
The sustained combat capabilities of the awakened ones in the area will be greatly weakened.
However, within the treasure space of Lake of the Dead, the ghost fog area is absolutely unavoidable.
In the outer edge areas, the scope of the ghost fog area is not large. But the deeper you go, which is the core area of the Dead Soul Lake Treasure Space, the ghost fog will become thicker and thicker. The most central area is almost completely covered by
Covered in ghost fog.
More importantly, many of the specialty treasures in the Lake of the Dead are produced in the Ghost Fog Area. For example, the target of Bai Xiaowen's trip, the Ghost Hydra, is a monster entrenched in the Ghost Fog Area deep in the Lake of the Dead.
Of course, the negative state of the Yin Qi lingering in the ghost fog area can also be avoided. This is the valuable experience summed up by the awakened people who have ventured into the treasure space.
"To travel normally in the Ghost Fog Area, you must collect a set of 'Undead Disguise'!" Bai Xiaowen recalled the prepared information, "The Undead Disguise requires the fusion of Netherworld Grass and Drowned Bone. The collected Netherworld Grass and Drowned Bone
The greater the quantity and quality of the bones, the more perfect the undead disguise will be."
Bai Xiaowen compared the map and observed his initial position.
"There are mountains on the left, and plain terrain on the right. A huge fissure runs across the east and west..."
Bai Xiaowen quickly confirmed that he was located at the southernmost end of the treasure space of Lake of the Dead, with the Ghost Mountains to the west and the Ominous Plains to the east. As for the huge crack in the ground blocking the way, it was called the Netherworld Crack.
This is the southern area among the seven confluence areas defined by Bai Xiaowen.
The meeting point in the due south area is called Yinfenggang, which is located in the Netherworld Cleft.
Bai Xiaowen contacted the team and sensed Li Shuyi's location. He could only roughly judge that Li Shuyi was to the northeast of him, and the distance seemed a bit far away.
"Go to the meeting point of Yinfenggang first and wait for a while. Yinfenggang itself is also a well-known relic in the treasure land of Lake of the Dead."
Bai Xiaowen summoned Wrath Claw, and one person and one wolf walked along a ramp and stepped into the crack of the netherworld. White mist surrounded it. Bai Xiaowen shuddered slightly, and Wrath Claw also snorted. This white ghost mist
, as if absorbing the heat radiated from the two bodies.
Bai Xiaowen checked his personal panel, and sure enough, there was an additional negative state of "Yin Qi lingering", and the effect was exactly the same as recorded in the data.
The ghost fog here is relatively thin and has little impact on the field of vision. In Bai Xiaowen's line of sight, he can already see the shadowy and rickety black figure getting up and walking staggeringly in his direction.
[Skill 1: Ominous breath: Passive, the breath of drowned zombies will bring bad luck. Enemies within the melee range will be superimposed with layers of ominous breath as the combat time prolongs. Each layer of ominous breath will temporarily reduce all attributes by 1 point.
, can be stacked up to 10 times. The negative effects will dissipate 10 seconds after leaving combat.】
[Skill 2: Slowness: Passive, all damage received by drowned zombies is reduced by 25%. The basic attack speed of drowned zombies is reduced by 25%. 】
"This kind of monster is a bit difficult to deal with, especially for melee combat."
Bai Xiaowen put away his insight. The passive skill [Slowness] is a double-edged sword. While reducing the damage received, it also reduces his own output ability. However, the first passive skill used with the drowning zombie is a bit of a rip-off.
The longer the battle lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be to the awakened ones.
If 10 layers of ominous aura are superimposed, all attributes will drop by 10 points. It should be noted that these drowned zombies do not appear alone. There are three of them that Bai Xiaowen can see in his field of vision.
I don’t know if the “ominous aura” of the three zombies are calculated uniformly, or if they are calculated individually. If they are calculated separately, it would be a bit scary. The passives of the three zombies are stacked to 10 layers, which is 30 layers of ominous aura.
, no matter how powerful your heroic profession is, all attributes will be reduced by 30 points, and you will be unable to move.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and summoned the two Skeleton Blade Shielders and the Bone Magician, and at the same time took out the Desert Eagle. He had to fight quickly.
Bang! There was a gunshot, and the Desert Eagle's first bullet penetrated the eyebrow of a drowned zombie.
The searing bullets tore off the skulls of drowned zombies.
100% critical hit rate! Headshot! Vital attack!
Of course, there is also the penetration effect of the first bullet that ignores the defense, but it hits the vital point between the eyebrows, so it ignores the target's armor.
The drowned zombie fell to the ground with a thud and was instantly killed by Bai Xiaowen.
The two skeleton sword-shielders set up shields to block the remaining two drowned zombies. Their angry claws went around the back of the drowned zombies, and they swung their giant claws and scratched them severely.
The two drowned zombies were just level 6 monsters of the ordinary template. Although they had 25% damage reduction, they still couldn't bear the violent output of Bai Xiaowen, Wrath Claw, and the Bone Demon Master, and they quickly fell to the ground after about ten seconds.
Bai Xiaowen looked at the number of layers of "ominous aura" on Wrath Claw's body. In just ten seconds of fighting, there were actually three layers.
"I remember that in the first second after entering the battle, there were two layers of ominous aura superimposed on the Raging Claw and the two Skeleton Blade Shield Hands. It should be one layer each of the two drowned zombies. The subsequent concentrated fire killed one first.
, the other one was dragged for ten seconds, and then another layer was added."
Bai Xiaowen summarized the ominous aura superposition mechanism of a drowned zombie. If it is a drowned zombie, the first layer of ominous aura will be superimposed immediately after entering the battle, and then an additional layer of ominous aura will be added every 10 seconds, up to a maximum of 10 layers.
The three layers of ominous aura on Angry Claw are a negative state when combined together. This means that the ominous aura can be stacked up to 10 layers. No matter how many drowned zombies he faces, the number of layers will never exceed 10. It's just drowning.
The more zombies there are, the faster they stack up.
Bai Xiaowen was convinced. He walked to the three drowned zombies and began to search for loot.
After the drowned zombies died, their bodies quickly turned into gray mist and dissipated, blending into the world. Only a few black bones were left where they died.
When Bai Xiaowen's fingers touched these bones, he got a hint that this was one of the materials needed for undead disguise, Drowning Bones (lower level). Bai Xiaowen harvested three bones in total.
Behind the Drowning Bone, there is an additional reminder that this special material is made from the Yin energy of the Lake of the Dead. It can only be formed in the treasure space of the Lake of the Dead. If it leaves the treasure space, it will dissipate quickly.
.
These three ordinary drowned zombies did not drop treasure chests, leaving only three drowned bones.
However, Bai Xiaowen is not discouraged, this is the normal explosion rate. If the drop rate of treasure chests of ordinary monsters is so high, psionic points and psionic items will not be so scarce.
After walking a few hundred meters deeper into the Netherworld Cleft, Bai Xiaowen suddenly stopped. The Desert Eagle suddenly raised up and fired towards the left.
A dull gasp sounded, a pair of blood-colored eyes appeared in the mist, and then there was the dull sound of a heavy giant palm hitting the ground.
In the mist, a giant crocodile with a body length of more than three meters swooped over. It had been lurking for a long time, but it did not escape Bai Xiaowen's mental scan.
The equally huge Fury Claw also pounced forward. After dodging the giant crocodile's first attack, it circled to the side and used its laceration skill, leaving several claw marks on the giant crocodile's skin, but there was no blood.
[Skill 1: Thick Skin: The armor received by the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile is increased by an additional 30%. 】
[Skill 2: Ambush: The Death Swamp Giant Crocodile can integrate well with the surrounding environment, reducing the probability of being discovered. Actively launching an attack without being discovered will be accompanied by a shock judgment and cause additional damage. 】
[Skill 3: Hunting: The giant crocodile of Death Swamp pounces on the opponent and bites the target. The target must first pass the strength test, otherwise it will be unable to break free and will continue to lose health points; the target also needs to pass the physical test, otherwise it will be disabled. 】
"In the treasure space of Lake of the Dead, there are still living things."
The strongest thing about the Death Swamp Crocodile is undoubtedly the third hunting skill, which can be said to be the main trick. Of course, the ambush skill is also very difficult for awakened ones who lack detection methods or have lower priority, but for Bai Xiaowen
It is not an obstacle.
With his angry claws, he withstood the ordinary attacks of the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile, and the Death Bone Demon Master's lightning strikes struck him down, leaving streaks of green smoke on the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile. He was not immune to spell damage.
Armor reduction.
Bai Xiaowen, on the other hand, turned on the continuous fire mode, doubling the rate of fire and pouring bullets one after another.
At this time, the penetration effect shows its power. Every third bullet and the fourth bullet will ignore the armor. The Death Swamp Crocodile can only take full damage.
roar!
The four stubby and powerful claws of the Death Swamp Crocodile suddenly kicked out, and its big mouth full of sharp teeth opened and bit into the angry claws. Bai Xiaowen was instantly reminded that this was the hunting skill of the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile.
Crack!
A lightning strike fell from the sky. After the skeleton mage became the bone mage, the lightning throw became the lightning strike technique, the shooting speed became faster, and the lightning energy no longer required the "ballistic" of flying in the air, Bai Xiaowen used it as an interrupting skill
When the time comes, it becomes more convenient and the amount of advance calculation that needs to be calculated becomes less.
If it is a physical interruption skill, such as the "Shield Blow" of the Skeleton Blade Shield Hand, the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile can still withstand it. But the spell ignores its armor, and the interrupt effect takes effect immediately, and the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile can withstand it.
The giant crocodile's whole body was paralyzed, and its forward momentum was suddenly stopped.
The agility of the Raging Claw itself is much higher than that of the Death Swamp Crocodile. With the restraint of this interruption skill, it easily dodged the attack of the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile and used its bite skill. Under Bai Xiaowen's subtle control
, this attack from Raging Claw hit the injured area of the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile.
With a sneer, the angry claws tore off a large piece of flesh from the body of the Death Swamp crocodile. This blow not only caused a critical hit, but also had a moderate bleeding effect.
The Death Swamp giant crocodile rolled over in severe pain, almost going crazy. However, no matter how hard it struggled, as a level 6 elite, it was no match for Bai Xiaowen. Its remaining health was quickly cleared and it fell to the ground with a thud.
A silver treasure chest appeared above the corpse of the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile.
Although the treasure chest was released, Bai Xiaowen's focus was not on the treasure chest.
Crocodile meat is delicious and nutritious. It is a treasure. Although the living environment of the Deadpool giant crocodile is slightly different from that of ordinary crocodiles, it is still a beast in nature. Its race has not changed, and it is also edible. Compared with mutant dogs, mutant wild boars
