Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

Five minutes later.

The last saprophytic locust hanging on the stalactite was hit by a venomous bullet and fell to the ground.

Su Chen picked up the gold coins that had been dropped, stepped on the slime covering the ground, and continued walking forward.

The passage gradually widened, and some huge vines emitting an eerie purple light began to appear on the stone walls.

And among these vines, a group of extremely beautiful creatures were flying around.

Their wings are like purple glass, casting shimmering light in the darkness.

【Phantom Poison Moth (Elite Monster)】

[Level: 30]

【Strength: 20】

[Agility: 300]

[Stamina: 800]

【Spirit: 1500】

[Skills: Spiritual Creatures, Psychedelic Pollen, Mana Backlash]

[Spiritual beings: Physical evasion rate increased by 80%.]

【Hallucinogenic Pollen: Passively spreads pollen. Those who inhale it will not suffer direct harm, but will experience strong hallucinations, causing attacks and skills to randomly deviate in direction and reducing their hit rate by 50%.】

[Mana Backlash: When a target inhales pollen and consumes mana, a hidden neurotoxin will be triggered. The more mana consumed, the higher the magical damage received (at a ratio of 1:10).]

……

"Oh, a combination of mental toxins and magical backlash?"

Su Chen looked at the panel in front of him and raised an eyebrow.

He had just been disgusted by the swarm of fleas, but he didn't expect that something even more disgusting was yet to come.

"Why are all the monsters in this dungeon these weird ones? Their stats aren't high, but they're all disgusting."

"There was one that died and self-destructed, and now there's a neurotic moth that loses health when it consumes mana."

"..."

The Phantom Moth may not seem to have high stats, but if you accidentally get hit by its pollen, using a skill that costs 1000 mana will result in taking 10,000 points of magic damage.

Coupled with debuffs that cause skill direction deviation and reduced hit rate, it's practically a graveyard for magic-based classes.

and.

The pollen has a very large coverage area, making it impossible to pull it apart; the battle can only be fought within the pollen.

The only relatively safe method is to not use any skills and just keep attacking with basic attacks.

"The mechanism is truly disgusting."

Su Chen glanced at the [Body of Ten Thousand Poisons] icon that was still lit up on his status bar.

"Unfortunately, anything with the word 'poison' in its name has to be careful in front of me."

He ignored the hallucinogenic pollen floating in the air and walked straight into the territory of the phantom moths.

Pollen landed on his shield, but before a system notification could be triggered, it was directly absorbed by the energy of the Poison Cloak.

Unlike the instantaneous, reflexive leaps of locusts, these strange flying speeds are not like those of poison locusts; they tend to use terrain and illusions to evade attacks.

"Corrosive Serpent Guard".

Su Chen summoned a large number of snake guards.

A system notification immediately appeared.

[Notification: You have consumed 40000 mana, triggering a mana backlash that will deal 400000 poison magic damage!]

[Note: You have activated the Poison Body buff, granting immunity to this damage.]

Backlash of magical power?

nonexistent.

Whoosh whoosh!

The snake guards immediately began their indiscriminate attack.

The battle was a foregone conclusion; after being immune to the backlash of magic, the Phantom Poison Moth posed no threat to Su Chen.

[Successfully defeated the level 30 elite monster, Phantom Poison Moth, gaining 6000 experience points]

[Successfully defeated the level 30 elite monster, Phantom Poison Moth, gaining 6000 experience points]

[Hint: Obtained 5 Phantom Poison Hide]

Within minutes, the snake guards had cleared the area of ​​phantom moths completely.

Su Chen glanced at his experience bar, which had increased again, with satisfaction. He then crossed the vine-covered area and arrived at a huge bronze door.

The bronze door is carved with intricate serpentine patterns, and thick, dark purple mist is seeping out from the cracks in the door.

Clearly, the final area of ​​this instance lies behind the door.

Su Chen pushed open the bronze door.

An extremely ancient and decaying aura wafted over.

Behind the door was an underground altar several times larger than the previous lake.

In the center of the altar stood a broken serpentine statue.

In the shadow of the statue, a bizarre and enormous plant dwells.

It has no leaves; all its branches are pieced together from pale bones.

Thick roots burrowed deep into the stone slabs of the altar, and at the end of each branch hung purple, heart-like sacs.

Su Chen cast a reconnaissance spell over there.

【The Thousand Calamities Bone Mother Tree (Gold-level BOSS)】

[Rank: Gold]

[Level: 35]

【Strength: 1200】

[Agility: 100]

[Stamina: 25000]

【Spirit: 8500】

[Skills: Bone Armor, Doom Roots, Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy, Bone Tree Blossoms, Cage of Ten Thousand Bones]

[Bone Armor: Reduces all physical damage taken by 80%, with a maximum damage reduction of 30% of maximum health per instance, and grants immunity to knockback and knock-up effects.]

[Roots of Doom: Roots cover the entire altar map. Enemy targets within the altar's area have their movement speed reduced by 30%.]

[Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy: Vines burst forth from the ground, piercing the target and dealing (Strength*2) physical damage, inflicting [Bloodthirsty Poison] (causing 500 health and 500 mana loss per second for 10 seconds; this effect stacks, and 100% of the lost health is returned to the parent tree).]

[Bone Tree Blossoms: Detonates the sac-like structures on its branches, spewing out [Thousand Calamity Poison Powder] that covers the entire map. Targets within the poison powder's area of ​​effect receive 100% less healing and shield regeneration, and take 1000 points of poison damage per second.]

【Ten Thousand Bones Cage (Red Blood Frenzy Skill): Triggered when health is below 30%. Drains the bones of the dead beneath the altar to form an unbreakable cage that imprisons the target. An instant-death check will occur within the cage; the target must pass a check (Spirit > 10000), otherwise, damage equal to Spirit * 10 will be dealt.】

……

Su Chen looked at the long string of information on the panel returned by the reconnaissance technique and couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose.

They have so many skills, all very fancy.

"80% physical damage reduction, phase-based health lock, map-wide slow, drains health and mana while also healing, plus 100% healing and shield prohibition, and finally an unreasonable instant death mental effect."

He quickly sorted it out.

This interface is practically made for disgusting people.

A melee physical damage dealer, facing 80% damage reduction and a global slow effect, is simply a punching bag.

A ranged mage enters, using [Bloodlust Poison] to drain mana, and [Thousand Calamity Powder] to disable healing and shields.

Even if you bring ten top-tier priests, they won't be able to heal you for a single drop of health; you can only watch helplessly as you are worn down to death.

If this were in a game, it would definitely be trending on social media and get criticized by raiding groups from various guilds. It's definitely a stat total filled in by a terrible game designer.

As for the Red Blood Frenzy skill, it requires a Spirit level of over 10000 to be immune to damage.

For a normal level 30 mage, even with full set of dark gold equipment, a spirit attribute of over 5,000 would be considered very powerful.

10,000 points?

That's no joke!

Even if Su Chen swallowed so many abyssal crystals, it wouldn't be enough.

"No wonder the Assassin's Academy put up a sign outside; who could possibly beat them?"

While complaining, Su Chen took two steps forward, completely stepping into the area of ​​the altar.

Boom—!

The once quiet underground altar suddenly began to tremble.

[Notification: You have entered the territory of the Thousand Calamity Bone Mother Tree!]

[Note: Your movement speed is reduced by 30% due to the effects of [Unlucky Roots].]

The mother tree, withered and bare, seemed to awaken from its slumber.

The pale, skeletal trunk glowed with countless eerie green runes, and the purple sac-like objects hanging from the branches pulsed more violently.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

In an instant, more than a dozen large holes were torn open in the ground, and thick, pale vines, like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, stabbed fiercely at Su Chen from all directions with a sharp whooshing sound!

It was extremely fast and the angle was incredibly tricky.

Su Chen didn't even bother to dodge, and just stood there.

boom! boom! boom!

The vines lashed fiercely at the shield of the Abyss Dragon's Robe.

"-1298!"

"-1246!"

"..."

The shield value dropped slightly, but for a maximum of over 80,000, this damage was negligible.

[Notification: You have been infected with the Bloodlust Poison (Level 12)!]

[Warning: You are losing 6000 health and 6000 mana per second!]

however.

next second.

The [Ten Thousand Poisons Cloak] that Su Chen was wearing, which had been flowing with black and purple light, suddenly burst out with a dazzling halo.

[Hint: The "Body of a Thousand Poisons" effect has been triggered!]

[Note: You are immune to the health loss effect of [Bloodlust Poison]!]

"I'm sorry, your poison is ineffective against me."

Su Chen grinned as he looked at the vines that were still frantically lashing at the shield.

The Body of All Poisons grants immunity to all poison-related damage, including negative status effects containing the word "poison."

"Shhh..."

The Thousand Calamity Bone Mother Tree seemed to have sensed the intruder's unusual behavior.

Its vampiric abilities, which it was so proud of, had absolutely no effect on this tiny human.

Click—!

The purple sac-like structures on the branches burst open all at once.

A thick, almost impenetrable purplish-black dust swept across the entire altar like a sandstorm.

[Hint: The Thousand Calamities Bone Mother Tree has released [Bone Tree Blossoms]!]

[Warning: You are within the range of [Thousand Calamity Poison Powder]. Healing and shield recovery effects are reduced by 100%!]

[Warning: You are taking 1000 points of poison damage per second!]

[Note: You are now immune to this damage due to the "Body of a Thousand Poisons" effect!]

Su Chen stood in the purplish-black storm of poisonous powder, and not only did he not suffer any damage, but even his shield did not lose any value due to the poisonous powder.

Apart from having his movement speed reduced by 30%, he is now practically unharmed.

"Have you used up all your skills?"

Su Chen raised his exploding staff, his eyes becoming utterly bored.

"Then it's my turn."

He didn't even bother using his skills; he simply waved his staff, and a bolt of lightning shot out.

boom.

Lightning struck the pale trunk of the Thousand Calamity Bone Mother Tree.

-7001.

A four-digit damage number popped up.

But the moment that number appeared, the massive body of the Thousand Calamity Bone Mother Tree suddenly stiffened.

The pale bone surface was instantly covered with an extremely dense dark green pattern!

[Notification: The class trait "All Things Corrode" has been triggered, and the "Violent Poison" status has been forcibly applied to the target!]

[Notification: The class trait [God of Venom] has been triggered; the target's [Venom] stacks are now maxed out!]

[Current target [Highly Poisonous] floor: 20218!]

Om-!

This is based on Su Chen's 8066 points of mental attribute, multiplied by more than 20,000 layers of true damage!

"-195694065!"

A huge red number suddenly appeared above the head of the Thousand Calamity Bone Mother Tree.

The terrifying poison damage, which was originally enough to cause nearly 200 million damages, was forcibly suppressed by an invisible force of rules the moment it came into contact with the mother tree.

[Note: The target has triggered [Bone Armor], and each instance of damage received can be up to 30% of their maximum health!]

The full health bar didn't disappear completely, but it dropped significantly.

Followed by.

The second second.

"-195694065!"

Another 30% of your health has evaporated!

"hiss……"

The mother tree emitted an extremely piercing shriek.

Its enormous body twisted wildly under the corrosive effects of the poison, and the surrounding vines lashed out uncontrollably, smashing the altar's stone slabs to pieces.

"A lock-on-health mechanic, right?"

Su Chen looked at the rapidly decreasing health bar and sneered.

"Unfortunately, the poison causes continuous damage. Can you lock it in for a lifetime?"

The third second.

"-195694065!"

[Warning: The Thousand Calamity Bone Mother Tree's health is below 30%, triggering its critical damage berserk skill, [Ten Thousand Bones Prison]!]

Click click click—!

The ground beneath the altar churned violently.

Countless pale, bony claws burst from the ground, rapidly weaving together to form a massive cage around Su Chen.

This is the final struggle of this gold-level BOSS, and also its most unreasonable skill.

Su Chen watched the bone claws about to close, without even interrupting the BOSS's spellcasting.

He simply stood there quietly, letting the bone claws completely engulf him.

Om-!

An invisible ripple of mental energy swept across Su Chen's body from the Ten Thousand Bones Cage.

[Warning: Being hit by the [Cage of Ten Thousand Bones] will result in instant death!]

[Determining...]

[Target's current mental attribute: 8066.]

[Under inspection...]

[Your spirit is insufficient; you will suffer 85000 points of magic damage!]

The violent magical energy instantly converged within the cage, transforming into a blinding, pale white beam of light that slammed down fiercely towards Su Chen's head.

This damage would instantly deplete Su Chen's health bar, even with the shield provided by the Abyss Dragon Language Robe.

however.

Just as the beam of light was about to touch Su Chen's scalp...

Su Chen calmly raised his right hand and activated the Holy Protection Ring on his finger.

"bite--!"

A clear bell rang out from inside the altar.

A layer of pure golden light instantly appeared on Su Chen's body surface.

The golden light was pure and unadulterated, solidifying his entire body, along with the staff in his hand, into a golden statue.

[Notification: You have activated [Time Freeze]!]

[Notice: You have frozen your own spacetime for 3 seconds. During this time, you cannot move, attack, or cast spells, and are immune to all damage.]

boom--!!!

The pale white beam of light slammed into the golden statue.

The violent magical energy washed over Su Chen's body like a tsunami.

But that thin layer of golden light remained as still as the sea god's reef.

"Didn't expect that, did you? I have an invincible body!"

Although Su Chen couldn't move, he was internally ranting and raving.

"This kind of unreasonable and disgusting mechanism can only be dealt with by unreasonable and invincible skills."

Two seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

The deadly poison damage arrived as expected in the fourth second.

"-195694065!"

With a sharp, unwilling shriek, the massive body of the Thousand Calamity Bone Mother Tree froze completely.

Then.

The torso, pieced together from countless bones, collapsed with a deafening roar, turning into a shower of bone dust and purple specks of light.

[Successfully defeated the Thousand Calamity Bone Mother Tree (Gold-level BOSS), experience +12000000!]

As the golden light faded, Su Chen regained his mobility.

"Oh, the shipment's been shipped?"

Su Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at the terrifying light amidst the spoils scattered on the ground, and he immediately strode forward.
