Chapter 174 Obtaining the Secret Technique of the Temple
"Recruiting soldiers?"
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, read it several times, and then continued to move forward.
He came to the center of the altar, hesitantly stretched out his hand, and grabbed the hilt of the white cross sword. The hilt was rough, with uneven patterns on the surface.
As Bai Xiao's palm touched the sword, the entire stone altar began to change. Seven hard and angular star carvings lit up, and a mysterious airflow slowly flowed through, finally concentrating on the cross sword.
He saw with his sharp eyes that a wisp of scarlet air was drawn out from between his fingers. It was the Six Desires of Gods and Ghosts that represented the totem giant. Buzz, almost in the next second, a tall figure appeared behind him.
The totem giant was activated and stood quietly on the altar.
The extracted scarlet air flow entered the cross sword, then floated out again and merged into the totem giant. Instantly, it rotated continuously on its chest and formed a white cross sword emblem.
It is the size of a palm and forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding black rocks.
Bai Xiao took a look at the changes in the totem statue, and then turned his attention to the stone pillar of the altar. The line of words there was slightly blurred and changed again.
"You are a second-class sergeant with second-class recruiting authority!"
"You can recruit first-level sergeants, third-level soldiers, second-level soldiers, and first-level soldiers in the Battle City! The upper limit is three, five, seven, and ten people respectively. The upper limit of the second-level recruitment authority is twenty-five people..."
"If you want to upgrade your military rank and increase your recruitment authority, you can go to the Seven Star Square. The Seven Star Square will faithfully record your military exploits in the process of resisting the fear creatures! In addition, you can also go to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord of the Battle City has the power and authority to upgrade the military rank of anyone..."
I quickly scanned it and a lot of things emerged in my mind.
Bai Xiao understood that at this moment, the totem colossus transformed by his murderous aura had obtained the recruitment authority and could recruit a group of 25 people in the Conquest City. According to the original framework of the Conquest City, after the totem colossus recruited soldiers to resist the fear creatures, it could get military merit.
"So how should we recruit now? Along the way, the patrolling soldiers in the city seem to have all turned into monsters, with only the instincts of corpses left. The white-robed believers we just met are not much better. It seems that in order to resist the invasion of fear, they have gone to another extreme..."
He muttered, frowning slightly.
Soon, Bai Xiao suddenly thought of the white airflow that the totem statue absorbed when he killed the patrol soldiers on the road. Could it be?
"Gondra, recruit soldiers!"
The white owl called out the name of the totem colossus.
Suddenly, the totem giant placed the thick totem pole in its hand heavily on the surface of the altar. The next second, the wild black spiral lines on the totem pole lit up inch by inch, climbing all the way to the top as if accumulating energy.
After a few breaths, the totem pole blossomed and bore fruit, turning into a big tree.
On the lush trunk and leaves, one of the fruits began to develop, growing in the wind, and growing from the size of a fist to the size of a normal person at an extremely fast speed. Some invisible air current carrying the essence of power penetrated into it.
Bang!
The fruit fell heavily to the ground, and the stone skin on its surface shattered and scattered everywhere.
In the sight, there was a knight figure about 1.9 meters tall, wrapped in silver can-like arc armor, with his head lowered and kneeling on one knee.
It was silent, seemingly unable to make a sound.
But he expressed his loyalty to the totem statue through his actions.
After a moment, the patrol knight stood up, revealing his tall and mighty figure. The thick and heavy armor was covered with inner armor woven with silver chains, providing double protection. In his left hand was a black bloodthirsty battle axe with an exaggerated axe blade, which was extremely fierce. On his waist was a spare iron sword.
It exudes a fierce and murderous temperament.
On the chest, beneath the sun symbol, a star twinkled faintly.
Conquest City, Solar Legion, First Class Non-commissioned Officer (Sergeant).
An arc of light flashed across the chest of the totem colossus from the white cross sword.
Of the twenty-five places, one has already been taken.
"It's still possible?"
Bai Xiao looked at the Totem Colossus in surprise. The patrol knights were regrown by the Totem Colossus's Totem Tree, just like the stone man before! He was absolutely sure that when the Battle City was still normal, recruiting soldiers would never happen like this. So, is the current unexpected situation caused by the change in the whole world?
Or is it because of the Six Desires of Gods and Ghosts that I have practiced?
"Can it be taken back?"
He looked at the patrol knight.
The totem colossus was about to take action, but White Owl stopped him.
Because recruiting and materializing a patrol knight consumes one-third of the fear energy in the totem colossus's fear core, it cannot be wasted.
“Keep exploring.”
He took a deep breath and remembered the purpose of entering the nightmare of fear this time. While exploring the Battle City, Bai Xiao also had to accumulate enough fear energy to activate the Magic Bird Secret Codex. This was the most important thing at this stage.
"The first floor of Beidou Temple. I saw it clearly when I came in. There is a rectangular hall and two side halls on the left and right. I am in one of the side halls now, and there is another side hall that I have not explored. However, the two side halls are not connected. If you want to go there, you need to pass through the prayer area in the rectangular hall. For the time being, it is better not to provoke those white-robed believers..."
He made a judgment in his heart and then looked into the distance.
There, at the left corner of the side hall, there was a staircase leading upwards.
Most of them lead to the second floor of Beidou Temple.
"Go up and take a look? Or leave the temple immediately and take advantage of the powerful forces in the city to resist the foreign enemies and gain more fear..."
Bai Xiao thought for a moment, then took a quick step forward.
He walked all the way to the left corner of the side hall, and in front of him was a wide spiral staircase. It was paved with solid white stone, and it was hard and heavy. The white-gold metal handrails were integrated, as if they were completely shaped by some kind of power. Even after many years, it was still as bright and clean as new, and very gorgeous.
There are also religious reliefs on the handrails that look like thorn patterns.
"despair."
White Owl took the first step.
“Tatta…”
He walked up cautiously, keeping a fighting posture.
Fortunately, nothing happened while walking up the stairs, only his footsteps echoed slightly. Bai Xiao soon arrived at the stairs.
Half his body was higher than the second floor.
He glanced past with a sharp gaze.
Not far away, there was the main door to the second floor. There were words in unknown language carved on the top of the door, but Bai Xiao could understand them roughly: "Secret Art Hall?"
The so-called secret technique was probably the same as when he encountered the patrol knight before, the other party suddenly condensed starlight and the power of his sword increased by twice!
To be honest, it really looks a bit like a secret weapon, at least it has the same effect. However, the energy sources of the two seem to be quite different.
"I wonder if I can use this method?"
Bai Xiao's eyes flickered as he looked at the figures at the entrance of the Secret Arts Hall. They were two silver-armored knights, one on the left and one on the right, holding huge lances. They were two meters and five meters tall, like door gods, taller and more majestic than the patrol knights. However, there were mottled black spots on the surface of the silver armor.
It was as if some kind of ink had deeply contaminated it.
"Three stars? A third-class sergeant?"
Bai Xiao saw the symbols on the two men’s chests representing their military ranks.
The next second, the silver-armored knight, who was neither too close nor too far away, suddenly turned his helmet and instantly looked towards the stairs, staring at the white owl.
“Discovered!”
Bai Xiao rushed out immediately, not passively, but actively attacking. His figure flashed quickly, and the worn carpet on the second floor exploded, revealing several footprints. He raised his strong arms and swung them out fiercely like a hammer.
Ding! Ding!
There was a sound of metal colliding and the lance shook violently.
The moment they noticed White Owl charging towards them, two silver-armored knights also charged forward, and their iron lances collided with White Owl's fists.
However, the moment the two sides came into contact, Bai Xiao's amazing strength completed a one-on-two crushing. After he reached the blood pill level, his physical strength was transformed, and he could suddenly make his strength attribute reach nearly 100 points!
With attributes approaching three digits, combined with the secret weapon's power-generating techniques, amazing results can be achieved. A heavy truck rolled over.
The two silver-armored knights' steel boots rubbed against the ground frantically, leaving two long and narrow marks. The grip of their lances also made a crackling sound.
"force!"
Bai Xiao maintained his physical strength conversion, took a deep breath, and his muscles swelled up exaggeratedly. His arms seemed to be deformed, becoming fiercely thicker, and a large area of densely packed blue veins appeared on the back of his hands.
boom!!!
A strong wind blew past, and a pair of blurred fists suddenly struck out, hitting the chests of the two silver-armored knights hard. The huge force even created circles of ripples.
The knight retreated wildly, his footsteps crushing the carpet.
The white owl flew over and rushed towards the secret arts hall like a cannonball.
However, the two silver-armored knights suddenly stopped retreating, and the blue starlight in the gaps of their armor surged and condensed, becoming increasingly hot. The hideous and huge steel lances in their hands were also covered by this energy, and their power surged.
They planted their feet on the ground, lowered their center of gravity, and lowered their arms slightly, actually posing an attacking stance similar to that of a secret weapon. Then, they suddenly turned around and rushed forward, their footsteps as fast as lightning, and the lances in their hands were like silver dragons surging!
clang!!!
Bai Xiao's iron-like arms pressed down on the lances of the two men, colliding and vibrating with the starlight energy at high speed, and actually splashing out golden-red sparks in an instant.
BANG!!!
Three figures retreated at the same time.
Bai Xiao's face was as hard as iron, and his arms seemed to still have the aftereffects of the violent shock just now. He no longer held back, and the whole person ran wildly again, his body steaming with violent heat, his fists wrapped in black flames, and roaring like a lion!
roar!!!!
Before the two silver-armored knights could stop, a huge black-red shadow rushed over, and the terrifying roaring fists were densely imprinted on the surface of their steel armor. A series of huge collision sounds echoed.
Bang bang bang bang bang…
The moment the fist was thrown, a sharp sound like a torn whistle was heard in the air. The cylindrical silver helmet was deeply dented and collapsed completely.
Blood flowed out from the gap, a thick and sticky black color.
Two twisted cans that had been beaten beyond recognition fell heavily to the ground!
“Clatter…”
A large amount of fear was extracted and sank into the skull mark.
This time, the quantity is large and the quality is good!
It actually doubled in an instant.
One quarter of the White Owl's heart had been replaced by the blood of fear.
Sure enough, in the core area of Beidou Temple, the monsters encountered were also truly elite. It was just more dangerous, and the slightest mistake would result in a car overturning.
Bai Xiao killed the two silver-armored knights guarding the door, and took the opportunity to rush into the Mystic Arts Hall, leaving a black afterimage in an instant.
After a few breaths.
BANG!!!
Bai Xiao's body flew out at a faster speed like a cannonball. He spun in mid-air and landed heavily with a muffled groan. Then he took a step and flew down the stairs without hesitation.
There were spots of blood on the white steps.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
Inside the Mystic Arts Hall, a thin shadow slowly emerged. His dry hands rested lightly on the door edge, looking weak, helpless and pitiful.
But behind it, there was a group of twisted and deformed mad monsters with a dozen huge mouths sucking in air madly, as if wanting to swallow everything.
The monster's body was wrinkled like mud and rotten meat.
A metal plate that has been corroded beyond recognition.
But it can still be vaguely seen.
There are six stars in total, arranged neatly.
"well……"
The thin shadow at the door sighed softly and turned around slowly.
The monster at the back wanted to rush out, but was blocked, so it quickly retreated several steps to the side, and only dared to look back after the thin shadow disappeared.
I saw that there was also a faint badge on the shoulder of the thin shadow. It was not a star, but a moon, a total of three moons!
…
Beidou Temple, outside the door.
Bai Xiao rushed down from the second floor, even from the side hall on the first floor, rushed through the rectangular hall, and left the Beidou Holy Temple. His chest was heaving violently.
Standing on the White Square, he looked down at the injuries on his body.
Two huge scars ran from the left shoulder to the right side, leaving the skin and flesh torn.
The traces of corrosion left by the potholes are like acid rain.
There was slight bleeding at the corner of his mouth and his breathing was rapid.
Just now, Bai Xiao rushed into the Secret Art Hall, and soon after he entered, he encountered a huge monster with a mouth full of mouths. When the two sides collided, he instantly felt an irresistible force crushing him, and it was difficult to resist.
Fortunately, Bai Xiao was strong enough in the state of the Bashen body, and with the physical transformation, his physical attributes directly exceeded 100 points. That's why he was not torn apart by the opponent's terrifying power at the first moment of the collision and flew backwards.
It can be said that he saved his life.
"What a dangerous place! If you're not careful, you'll die here!"
Bai Xiao's eyes flickered slightly and he coughed violently a few times.
Then he stretched out his hand, holding a torn white secret book.
"I got it the moment I rushed in. I wonder what secret technique it is?"
