It is worth mentioning that the monsters in this mausoleum have a very high proportion of elite templates. For the wave of bone race monsters just now, elite creatures account for more than one-third of them, while the normal northern border monsters account for more than one-third.
In a battlefield environment, this ratio is only one-fifth or even one-tenth.
No matter how the overall level of the Aaron plane world improves, the largest number are still low-level soldiers, and the elites are only a minority.
Therefore, the elites accounted for about half of the 600 surprise troops sent by Ursock, which was indeed all the elite forces that the resistance could temporarily mobilize.
Of course, as a "hidden copy" of the Aaron plane world, the Great Tomb is about the same difficulty level as the "Snake God Underground Palace" in the ancient Egyptian plane, and the "Latent Shadow Labyrinth" in the Kuroshio plane, so it is reasonable that the proportion of elite templates is higher.
middle.
According to Bai Xiaowen's speculation, it is only the first floor of the underground mausoleum. When it goes deeper, all elite monsters may be there.
Elite creatures are certainly more difficult to fight than ordinary templates, but for the army of undead summons that are tireless and have bonuses, it just takes a little more time. The lost health and mental power will be lost in the process of exploring the map.
Quick recovery, faster than Bai Xiaowen's recovery speed when he takes back his summons in a truce state.
However, the benefits brought by elite creatures are unmatched by ordinary creatures.
Not to mention the occasional silver treasure chests or the rapidly increasing combat experience, the rapid accumulation of soul essence alone made Bai Xiaowen endlessly happy.
During the advancement process, Bai Xiaowen also encountered some undead monsters that had never appeared in the Black Soul Stone.
For example, the corpse demon creature "Blister Monster", which is covered in pustules, attacks by spitting out foul-smelling spheres, which will explode into a pool of flying objects after death. Although in the strange environment of the Grand Tomb, the flying objects will quickly dissipate, leaving behind a stench.
The poisonous gas only lasted for a few seconds, but it was so stinky that it caused severe psychological shadow on Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi. It can be said that the stench lasts forever, spreading forever in one second.
Another example is the Soul Race creature "The Wailing Banshee", who has a porcupine-style hairstyle with a head full of withered grass and a wrinkled face like an aunt. She is good at screaming and wailing with a frightening broken gong voice to attack the enemy from the spiritual level...
…
There is also an undead skeletal monster called "Skeleton Construct", which looks like a melee tank monster, but is actually long-range and good at launching bone needles for penetrating attacks...
After seeing these strange monsters, Bai Xiaowen was secretly glad that they were not included in the enhancement options in the black soul stone... Even if they appeared, Bai Xiaowen wouldn't want them. Either the smell was too strong or the appearance was too low, it was all a flaw.
The architectural structure of the Grand Tomb is similar to a honeycomb. After advancing to the middle section, the rooms are basically hexagonal, and there are very few square rooms.
Each room has six portals connecting six adjacent rooms.
The honeycomb structure is a type of maze structure. Compared with the boxy room structure, it is easier for people to get lost. If there are enough rooms and the intruder does not have accurate and clear memory, he may be misled.
Going in circles creates the effect of a ghost hitting a wall.
After entering the middle section, you will basically encounter a wave of monsters every few rooms.
"We're almost at the end."
After the ninth wave of monsters was eliminated, Bai Xiaowen pressed his eyebrows slightly and took back his mental power:
"Judging from the results of my mental scan, two rooms further away, we will reach the mountain wall."
"In other words, we have walked from the entrance to the mausoleum to the edge area directly opposite," Li Shuyi understood quickly. "Have you found any steps or stairs that can allow us to go to the second floor?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "No. Next we need to change direction and move along the edge. The staircase entrance to the second floor of the Grand Mausoleum should be in a room on the edge."
This is the experience that Bai Xiaowen accumulated from playing various maze-breaking games in another time. His representative work is "Diablo".
After passing a few more rooms, Bai Xiaowen's mental power was detected and he said happily: "We found the entrance to the second floor."
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen's eyes narrowed. He saw that on the surface of the doom bracelet, the face that had always been calm had changed into a serious face.
"careful."
Bai Xiaowen had a warning sign in his mind. A serious face represented a moderate threat, and it could be life-threatening if he was not careful.
Bai Xiaowen gathered his mental power, carefully explored the surroundings, and said, "Come out. If you are a strong person, there is no need to hide."
Li Shuyi looked at Bai Xiaowen, a little confused.
"Jiejie..."
A gloomy sound sounded from the ceiling of the room, and a black wind blew past. It turned out to be a group of bats.
The bat quickly condensed into a human form. It was a man with deep-set eyes and pale skin. He was wearing an aristocratic dress, which was somewhat similar to Kitz's clothes but more luxurious. Moreover, the temperament of the pale man in front of him was even higher than that of the rough Kitz.
I walked out of an unknown number of floors.
"They actually found me in my bat form. These two little guys are quite capable."
The pale man was very carefree as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Bai Xiaowen talked nonsense while throwing out insights.
The pale man said somewhat proudly: "You can call me... Lord Marcus."
[Skill 1: Advanced Cursed Body: Racial ability, passive. The vampire king's holy damage and demon-breaking damage are increased by 25%, the physical damage caused by silver weapons is increased by 25%, and other types of damage are reduced by 50%.

Maximum health value.]
[Skill 5: Breath of Death lv2: Increase health by 400 points and gain 40% toughness. 】
"Is this the template for Kits to become a leader..."
Bai Xiaowen was shocked. Compared with ordinary vampires, the Vampire King was simply fully enhanced!
[Advanced Cursed Body] has half the negative effects compared to Kitz's [Cursed Body] skill, but its positive effects are not compromised at all. It ignores vital points and is immune to bleeding.
[Night Demon Form] Compared with Kitts's [Night Walker], it has an additional skill for bats to actively attack, which is also quite good. With [Bloodthirsty Instinct], when the bats attack, it will also suck blood to restore life.
!
Bai Xiaowen wanted to ask, could a leader like the Vampire Lord be able to store Bilian... The first three upgraded skills were already quite shabby, and finally there was a permanent control transformation skill.
Fortunately, blood slave transformation only takes effect on living creatures, and Bai Xiaowen's army of undead summons will not be affected.
Just these two living beings, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, need to be extremely careful.
According to the information Bai Xiaowen checked, it is actually not uncommon for awakened people to be controlled by spiritual creatures and become slaves.
Once they become slaves of creatures in the spirit world and lose the consciousness of independent action, the awakened person will completely lose the ability to enter and exit the spirit world, storage space, previous memories...all sealed, and can only exist as a human being in the spirit world.
Reincarnation of planes...
This is absolutely a shame for those who are awakened.
"Be careful. If you are caught by his blood slave transformation, you must use the return scroll before your consciousness is annihilated." Bai Xiaowen sent the skills of the Vampire Lord Marcus to Li Shuyi to share, and instructed through the team channel.
Li Shuyi nodded heavily, the thought of becoming a slave of a vampire in the spiritual world was terrifying.
Perhaps seeing the alert posture of Bai Xiaowen and the other two, Vampire Lord Marcus showed an unpredictable smile.
"Little human beings, don't be so afraid. I'm different from those non-intelligent derivatives..."
Marcus tapped his head lightly with his sharp nails, "I have lived for more than three hundred years, and my wisdom is much higher than that of most human beings. If it is not necessary, a highly intelligent creature cannot
You will easily make enemies."
"More than three hundred years? Your lifespan is longer than the history of the Lionheart Empire?" Bai Xiaowen's eyes revealed a hint of just the right amount of suspicion.
Li Shuyi's heart brightened. The scene in front of her was too familiar. Bai Xiaowen had already entered the deception mode.
Bai Xiaowen actually wanted to get some information about the Great Mausoleum through this powerful person in the spiritual world who was suspected of guiding NPCs. What is the difficulty in this s+ elite difficulty copy? As long as some useful information can be obtained, it is okay to waste some time.
Acceptable.
Marcus smiled proudly: "Of course, the human kingdom is just a moment to me, I am immortal."
"Then why are you here? Also, the derivatives you are talking about...are the undead that attacked us? How did they appear?"
"It's a long story." Vampire Lord Marcus shrugged and said, "It's a story with very little freshness."
"It's okay, Mr. Marcus, I'm very patient." Bai Xiaowen followed.
Marcus coughed: "It all started with the fall of 'Death God Naraku' four hundred years ago..."
Suddenly, Marcus's expression changed and he said loudly: "Watch what's behind you!"
Bai Xiaowen instinctively turned around to look, but there was a sinister smile on Marcus's pale and thin face. His whole body flew in front of Bai Xiaowen like a phantom, and his sharp nails clawed at Bai Xiaowen's neck!
This blow was so fast that Li Shuyi, who was so close, didn't even react!
However, before Bai Xiaowen turned around and came back, the spell was already brewing in his palm, and finally turned into a yellow light!
Marcus flew over, hoping to kill him with one blow, but he was hit by this confusing charm. It looked like he had bumped into Bai Xiaowen's charm.
Bai Xiaowen's figure retreated, and one word burst out from his mouth:
"beat!"
Li Shuyi drew out her swords, threw herself behind the Vampire Lord Marcus, and slashed with each other. At the same time, other summoned creatures also swarmed forward, kitchen knives and scimitars flew together, and wands and scepters danced together.
However, when these attacks fell on Marcus, the damage value was extremely low. Marcus' racial passive and advanced cursed body's damage reduction effect was too overpowering.
Only the Death Bone Demon Master's lightning strike technique caused extra damage to Marcus. When a bolt of lightning fell, Marcus' body surface curled up with blue smoke, and he couldn't help but groan.
This round of fierce attack, including the additional damage from the evil-destroying evil spirits of the Bone Demon Master, could only knock down Marcus's health by more than 100 points.
Marcus' body shape changed, flashing like a ghost, passing through the gap of the summoned creature, and appeared ten meters away. In his sunken eye sockets, his slightly scarlet eyes showed a hint of surprise: "How do you know, I
Want to attack you?"
Bai Xiaowen's spell requires a casting action to be activated. Even though he turned his back to Marcus, he was able to hit it without any haste. He must have been prepared in advance.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and didn't answer. In fact, he relied on the shared vision of summoned creatures.
And from the beginning, Bai Xiaowen never let down his guard. Marcus's appearance made the threat value of the Doom Bracelet become moderate! The Doom Bracelet has not made any mistakes in judgment so far.
"Be careful," Bai Xiaowen warned Li Shuyi again in the team channel, "This guy should have the highest agility among the bosses we have ever encountered... This is the first time I have seen someone who can summon creatures to siege him based on speed alone.
The guy who escaped through the cracks.”
Marcus's panel agility is 80, but don't forget that he has the terrifying skill "Night Demon Form"! In non-daylight environments, all attributes increase by 20%, and agility soars to 96 points!
The agility of Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures was severely suppressed by Marcus.
Seeing that Bai Xiaowen didn't respond, Marcus sneered: "Well, your good luck is only this once." He turned around and soared into the sky like a top, landing on the walls and ceiling of the tomb.
Stepping and leaping, like a shadow.
Although there were many people on Bai Xiaowen's side, it looked like Marcus had surrounded them all. Unable to keep up with the opponent's speed, Bai Xiaowen could only order the summoned creatures to surround him and Li Shuyi in the center for protection.
Tsk! The wind blew loudly, and Marcus ejected from the ceiling, grabbing Bai Xiaowen's Tianling Cap with his sharp nails.
