Chapter 23 Skeleton War Horse
“…”
Everyone in the tactical research room was silenced.
"Why? Why?" The Black Tiger man was numb and could only repeat these four words.
"There should be no need to check, this must be the shortest speedrun record on the second level." Su Xiaoxiao said.
"That's right, even the intermediate awakened person takes no less than twenty minutes to clear the second level."
Instructor Qiu smiled bitterly, "Last year's strongest newcomer, Li Yufeng, cleared the second level. It took nearly 7 hours."
"Bai Pu is only at level 1 now, and he doesn't have any combat skills. Is he stronger than an intermediate awakener?" Heihu finally came to his senses, in disbelief. said.
"It can't be compared like this. Maybe this copy is too suitable for Bai Pu's performance." Instructor Qiu said.
"Why didn't Bai Pu come out... Could it be that he wanted to go to the third floor?"
Qilin, who had been silent until now, discovered the blind spot, and his face turned pale with fright.
......
The second floor of the Bone Crypt, before the entrance to the third floor.
Bai Pu was slightly out of breath, and his body was covered with shallow bloodstains. However, as time passed, while his health recovered, the bloodstains also healed quickly.
Bai Pu once again described the flesh-and-blood spell. During the half hour of tracing the incantation, his health gradually returned to full value.
Behind Bai Pu, two figures, one tall and one short, stood.
The tall figure with thick bones, dragging a huge unsheathed sword with both hands, exuding a mighty aura, is the Skeleton Warrior.
The short figure has deep eyes. The intensity of the soul fire is several times higher than that of ordinary skeleton soldiers. He is also covered in tattered robes. He is the Bone Mage.
The two elite monsters both stood in awe with their hands lowered, obviously having been transformed into slaves by Bai Pu.
“It is really a bit reluctant to withstand the siege of so many level 2 monsters. When the level is 1 level higher than mine, the damage caused by the monsters to me increases by 10%, but the damage I cause to them is To reduce it by 10%! Fortunately, there is the magical skill of [Adaptive Evolution].
"The virtual treasure chests on the second level are all level two, and the harvest is much richer than on the first level. Not only are there skill books, but the drop rate of equipment has also increased, with as many as 3 pieces! Unfortunately, it is only standard white equipment."
Standard equipment generally only provides armor, magic resistance and other defenses, as well as some very basic passive abilities. There will be no four-dimensional attribute bonuses, let alone excellent active skills.
Nowadays, many awakened forces have the ability to build standard equipment in batches, so the price of standard equipment is generally very stable. It is only the cost of psychic materials, plus a small amount of manufacturing costs.
Bai Pu sighed and summarized his combat experience.
[Adaptive Evolution] provides a 50% reduction in special types of damage, which is indeed very powerful. It is not obvious when dealing with weak rotten bone skeletons on the first level, but when facing a large number of level 2 skeleton soldiers and skeleton warriors at this level, the amount of damage reduced is astonishing.
Even so, Bai Pu almost overturned.
Two Bone Masters suddenly appeared. One used the cripple technique, which reduced Bai Pu's movement speed by half, and the other used the corrosion technique, which greatly weakened Bai Pu's armor.
Then the two dead bone mages began to chant spells, and two ice fragments hit Bai Pu, causing a high amount of damage that made Bai Pu's scalp numb.
Although [Adaptive Evolution] immediately stores the third form - "Icy Body", which reduces frost damage by 50%, Bai Pu cannot switch to this form and give up targeting Sharp damage to "horny skin"! You can only take advantage of the Bone Mage's frost spell.
Fortunately, Bai Pu was prepared in advance. Before the wave of tactics, he spent some time activating the [Pure Blood Control] to enslave an elite skeleton warrior as a thug.
The enslaved elite skeleton warriors have gained a lot of strength after receiving the 7-point free attribute bonus of [Pure Blood Control]. Their strength alone is as high as 27 points! Under Bai Pu's cover, it swung its giant sword to kill one Bone Mage, and then beat the second one to death.
Although the Death Bone Mage is one level higher than Bai Pu, he is only an elite template, one level lower than Bai Pu. In addition, the near-death state has a lower enslavement success rate for [Pure Blood Control]. Ascension, so after the battle, Bai Pu successfully enslaved it.
Now, Bai Pu can be said to have used all his cards. After inscribing the flesh and blood spell again, his mental energy was nearly exhausted, his temples were a little swollen, and he just wanted to lie down and sleep. In the semi-depleted state, the recovery speed of mental power is extremely slow. Bai Pu used up all 60 minutes of rest time, and his mental power did not recover very much.
In this level, Bai Pu used two drops of precious pure blood to enslave two elite creatures, just to prepare for a rainy day and to conquer the third floor.
The monsters on the second level are basically level 2, one level higher than Bai Pu. Because Bai Pu strengthens the suppression of the elite template, it can also ensure the success rate of enslavement.
By the third level, all monsters should have reached level 3, which is 2 levels higher than Bai Pu! Bai Pu wants to exert the enslavement effect of [Pure Blood Control], but the success rate is too low. Even if he beats the monster to the verge of death and obtains a favorable enslavement judgment bonus, it will be difficult to succeed.
"Within my strength, the preparations for conquering the third floor have been completed to the extreme." Bai Pu led two undead slaves and entered the entrance of the third floor. "It depends on the ability of the third floor. How far have we gone? With the third-level virtual treasure chest, the probability of getting good products should be greatly increased... However, my main goal is not the treasure chest, but to prove my worth!"
Bai Pu found the magic strategy! With the army as his backer, his criminal record in the police department was lifted. The Super Group could not rely on official power to crush itself, so it was bound to turn its open guns into hidden arrows!
In this case, Bai Pu needs to prove his worth and attract the attention of Shence Army to protect himself in his weak stage.
......
As soon as he stepped onto the third floor, Bai Pu felt intimidated.
Rumble——
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and a skeletal war horse with demonic fire burning all over its body and a red light shining in its eye sockets stepped on the cave wall and rushed towards it!
Under Bai Pu's instructions, the skeleton warrior bravely stepped forward and swung his giant sword horizontally.
clang!
With a loud noise, the Skeleton Warrior flew upside down and received 35 points of concussive damage!
Concussion damage has the characteristic of slowing down. After the Skeleton Warrior stood up, he staggered and lost his position.
The skeletal horse charged straight at the Bone Mage. It seems to have some kind of sensory instinct, knowing that attacking the Bone Mage is the most cost-effective.
Based on the fact that this was a virtual copy and would not really die, Bai Pu stepped forward to cover.
Then he also flew away, like a small stone hit by a big truck.
Originally possessing [Heavy Armor Mastery], when wearing heavy armor, Bai Pu is more difficult to be knocked away or knocked back, but the power difference between him and this skeletal war horse is too large. , and the opponent carries the inertia of running at high speed!
Thanks to some delay from Bai Pu and the Skeleton Warrior, the Bone Mage finally cast the [Cripple Technique].
The speed of the skeleton horse dropped sharply.
Bai Pu summoned the skeleton warriors to come forward and attack, but in the next second, he heard the neighing sound of Xilulu's horse. The skeleton horse was covered in demonic fire, raised its front hooves and trampled down suddenly!
The Bone Mage's health dropped by 3/4! The skeletal war horse gave a beautiful side kick, kicking the dead bone mage to pieces, turning it into bone debris all over the sky.
Level 2 elite Bone Mage, in front of this powerful skeletal war horse, will be declared dead with one skill + one ordinary kick!
Bai Pu naturally did not sit idle. He suddenly pounced forward, grabbed the demon-fire-burning tailbone of the skeletal horse, and tried to climb onto its back.
The skeletal horse ran wildly with its hooves raised, but Bai Pu held on to its tailbone and refused to let go!
Ordinary people may be dragged away by the powerful power of the skeleton war horse, but Bai Pu has [Heavy Armor Mastery], which makes it more difficult to be knocked away or repelled! He fell behind like a stubborn weight. The skeleton horse could not start and its speed was greatly reduced.
The skeleton warrior suddenly circled around, his whole body lit up with black light, and the giant sword carried huge inertia and slashed out! This is the famous combat skill of the Skeleton Warrior, the spinning slam!
Peng! A loud noise was heard, and the skeletal horse's front legs were severely damaged, followed by a heart-wrenching sound of bone cracking.

ps: Explanation on the plot of the college entrance examination
A: Why write the plot of the college entrance examination?
1. The college entrance examination is a world event, and those who come out on top will have very generous benefits.
2. Bai Pu needs to significantly increase his real-life popularity and gain the attention of the organization, so that the cost of assassinating the protagonist by the Super Group will increase. The assassination of an ordinary awakened person will cause completely different social attention than the assassination of a top scorer in the college entrance examination.
3. Top geniuses of the same age as Bai Pu will also take the college entrance examination, and there will be collisions in subsequent explorations of the spiritual world. Writing for the college entrance examination allows geniuses to become familiar with everyone in advance and not appear out of the blue.
B: Is the plot of the college entrance examination copied from Eye of Evolution?
Answer: No, 800 years after the psionic era, the system and model of the college entrance examination are completely different from those during the Eye of Evolution. They have become more complete and the competition has become more intense.
Finally, I would like to say that originally Lao Ya should slowly show everyone the reasons for writing the plot of the college entrance examination in the subsequent plot, and the moisturizing was silent. Why can't I sit still now and jump out to explain?
Because it has not been recommended yet, those who are willing to read it every day are basically the old brothers who have followed Evolutionary Eyes. Lao Ya didn’t want to disappoint everyone, so he explained it in advance. Please read it patiently, I believe this book will not disappoint you in the future.
