Legendary Son-in-Law: The Man with Poison Talismans

The manager moved slowly and deliberately, pouring the bottles one after another, as if he were doing something he was already very familiar with.

I spent less than 2000 bottles of blessing oil and upgraded all three weapons to Luck 7.

The Dragon Slayer was only upgraded to Luck 7 at the very end.

The steward handed the Dragon Slayer to Lin Mu, then put away the remaining Blessing Oil and the two weapons. He sat down again, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and remained expressionless.

Lin Mu took the Dragon Slayer sword and gently stroked the blade with his fingers.

【Dragon Slayer (Damaged), Attack 0-10, Accuracy +3, Attack Speed ​​+3, Luck +7, Requires Level 35】.

He looked up at the manager, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Their technology is truly impressive; they used less than 2000 bottles to upgrade three weapons to the Y-7.

What's even more frustrating is that not only did the other person upgrade their weapon to Luck 7 for free, but they also earned 1000 bottles of Blessing Oil.

What kind of nonsense is this? Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this.

Lin Mu felt a pang of sadness, but he still stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said sincerely, "Thank you, brother."

The manager waved his hand without saying a word, picked up his teacup and took another sip. His gaze fell on the landscape painting on the wall, and he suddenly added in a calm tone, "It's getting dark. Be careful on your way back."

Lin Mu subconsciously glanced out the window as well. It was indeed dark outside the window paper. The light that had been shining through had changed from the bright white of the afternoon to the dim yellow of the evening, and then to the grayness of the present.

He then realized that he had spent the whole day in the manor, and time had passed by without him noticing.

He put away the dragon-slaying sword, stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and turned to leave the private room.

The manager didn't offer any gifts; he just sat there drinking tea, expressionless, as if nothing had happened.

Once outside the manor gates, it was indeed dark, and the surroundings were very quiet.

The torches in front of the manor gate had been lit, their orange-red light dancing in the night wind, illuminating a small area at the entrance.

A thin layer of snow covered the ground, a vast expanse of white, with only the path worn into a dark trail where people and horses had walked.

Chapter 188 Ambush, Arrogance

But after the sun set, the snow that had been trampled on froze again, and some of the uneven areas were covered in ice, which reflected the light of the torches.

Just then, a gust of wind blew in from the woods, carrying snowflakes that stung Lin Mu's face, making it both cold and painful.

Lin Mu stood at the door, took a deep breath of the crisp, cool air, and his mind raced.

The manager's words, "Be careful on your way back," were not just polite words, but a reminder.

From the moment he received the compensation from the Jiang family, he was being watched.

The manor was crowded with people and eyes, and the smelting of over 200 million gold coins and the squandering of thousands of bottles of blessing oil could not be kept secret.

The eyes that stared at him were filled with curiosity, envy, jealousy, and other things.

They couldn't make a move within Beach City and the manor; they were waiting for him to go to a secluded place and be alone.

I can teleport away to avoid conflict with these people, but it's not a good life to always be someone's target.

Lin Mu stopped thinking and prepared for battle. He took out the evasion bracelet and the white tiger tooth necklace from his Qiankun bag, put them on one by one, closed his eyes, and with a thought, he put them on.

The skeleton arrived with a whoosh, and the entire area of ​​the minimap lit up as soon as it appeared.

Lin Mu glanced around and found that there were indeed several suspicious points of light lurking in the woods on both sides of the road, motionless, as if waiting for something.

He glanced at the skeleton's status bar again; the Crescent Blade was already level 3, proving that his day of training at the mansion hadn't been in vain.

Lin Mu left the skeleton behind to scout the situation, while he mounted his horse and rode away from Bichon.

He wanted to lure the rats out and get rid of them.

Otherwise, it's not good to always be on people's minds; who knows when these people will try to sabotage you?

As expected, Lin Mu didn't move into their encirclement. One of the mages grew anxious and whispered, "Big Brother..."

The lead soldier gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Chase!"

In Lin Mu's mind, he saw the suspicious points of light around the skull move and chase after him.

Lin Mu ran for 20 minutes, making sure he had reached a secluded corner before stopping. He dismounted, put the horse into his brocade pouch, took out the Wuji Staff from his Qiankun Bag, attached a protective talisman to the tip, and rubbed his fingers together. An orange-red flame ignited, illuminating a small area in front of him.

He then took out a thick robe from his storage bag, put it on, and leaned against the tree roots, warming himself by the fire while waiting for someone.

After another 8 minutes, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind, a jumbled sound that grew closer and closer.

A while later, 15 people on horseback emerged from the woods and surrounded Lin Mu completely.

The torchlight flickered in the night, illuminating a dozen or so straw hats and face towels.

The leading warrior, clad in a suit of Heavenly Demon Armor and carrying a Judgment Sword, looked down at Lin Mu from his horse.

The mage next to him was the most anxious. Before the horse had even come to a complete stop, he shouted, "Lin Mu, quickly hand over the Qiankun Bag and the Mount Pouch, and I'll spare your life!"

Lin Mu leaned against a tree root, the torch in his hand illuminating his face. He slowly picked at his ear, flicked his fingers, and spoke casually, as if chatting with a neighbor: "Oh? A sneaky mouse can talk?"

The monk's face flushed crimson, his bone jade scepter creaking in his grip: "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Mu rubbed his hands together, breathed out a breath, leaned against a tree root, and said with a hint of impatience, "You guys are too slow. I was about to set up my tent and rest."

Without a word, the leading warrior gave a signal, and the four warriors rushed forward, unleashing Hellfire and Judgment swords, their blades flashing and slashing from four directions.

The Taoist priest also took out some medicinal powder, sprinkling a handful of green poison and a handful of red poison over. The gray-green mist and dark red mist drifted away in the night wind.

The mage raised his bone jade scepter, and lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking Lin Mu one after another.

Lin Mu did not dodge, but he also did not act arrogantly.

Before the attack, with a thought, they merged.

Lightning bolt struck, MISS, -12, MISS...

The Soulfire Rune struck the bone armor, -7, MISS, MISS...

The warrior's assassination strike landed on the bone armor, MISS, MISS, -72, -45...

High agility, high magic evasion, and high dual defense.

This meant that 80% of the attacks wouldn't land on Lin Mu; aside from assassination sword techniques, other attacks that did hit him wouldn't cause him much damage.

Lin Mu looked down at the faint white mark on his breastplate, then looked up at the fifteen men and said in a flat tone, "Didn't you eat? Put some effort into it."

The monks and Taoist priests exchanged glances and understood.

This person's magic evasion was too high. One lightning bolt after another struck down, white light exploded in the night sky, crackling and popping loudly, with great momentum. However, the lightning bolts were clearly aimed at his head, but they deflected when they struck down, as if an invisible hand had deflected the lightning to the side, landing on the snow at Lin Mu's feet and blasting out scorched craters.

The Taoist's soul fire talisman fared even worse. The talisman flew out of his palm, clearly aimed at Lin Mu's chest, but it veered off course halfway through, drifting past his shoulder and sticking to the tree trunk behind him with a "pop," scorching a small piece of the bark.

A mage shouted, "This person has high magic evasion, use an area-of-effect spell!"

The mages immediately changed their strategy and unleashed Ice Roar.

The Taoist priests could only watch helplessly as the divine beasts went up to breathe fire.

One after another, white light exploded above Lin Mu's head, and shards of ice flew in the night wind, clanging against the bone armor.

The damage was indeed dealt, but Lin Mu, with over 4000 HP, was losing health very slowly. It just made Lin Mu feel even colder.

A cold wind, carrying shards of ice, blew down his neck. His bone armor could block the blades and spears, but not the chill. Lin Mu cursed, "These guys are really despicable. Are they trying to freeze me to death?"

Lin Mu stopped pretending.

He gripped the Wuji Staff tightly, took out a bottle of potent solar water from his belt and drank it, then took a step back and took out yellow powder from his Qiankun bag, sprinkling it at the nearest mage.

A red glow emanated from the monk's body.

He pulled out another bottle, preparing to pour in more poison.

One of the soldiers thought to himself, "You looked so docile earlier, standing there obediently letting me be cut, but now you're retreating and even dare to take poison."

It's hard to hit someone if they're standing still, how can you kill them if they're moving around and taking medicine? He pushed off with both legs and charged forward like a cannonball.

A brutal collision.

Lin Mu felt something move incredibly fast before his eyes, and then the warrior's shoulder slammed solidly into his chest. The bone armor made a dull thud, and the number -4 appeared above his head.

Lin Mu was knocked back two steps by the impact, and the bottle of potent solar water in his hand was knocked out of his hand and flew away, spilling golden liquid all over the ground.

The medication was interrupted.

The warrior didn't stop; a ball of orange-red flame ignited on the sword, and a fiery sword technique struck Lin Mu squarely on the neck.

Chapter 189 Showing Off Gets You Struck by Lightning

A burst of fire erupted, followed by a weak point attack.

-347.

Lin Mu's health bar dropped slightly, and he felt a little dizzy from the impact, but his head was protected by the skull and was unharmed.

However, his neck was injured, and besides the green poison -1, -1... on his head, there was also a bleeding status -1, -1... occurring at an even faster frequency.

Although the green poison and bleeding damage are negligible given the skeleton's 4 points of health regeneration per second, my neck still hurts so much.

The warrior's hands didn't stop; the flames on the Judgment Sword hadn't even dissipated when another Fiery Sword Technique came down, but it missed.

The warrior cursed, "Disgusting agility, disgusting health! An ordinary Taoist would be dead in one hit, but this guy's health bar looks like it's already dropped a little bit!"

The other soldiers' eyes lit up, and they followed suit. Seeing that Lin Mu was no longer behaving himself and was no longer pulling the assassination in place, they rushed up one after another, savagely charging, using the Fiery Sword Technique, and then the Fiery Sword Technique again.

Lin Mu was knocked around and staggered. He had just regained his footing when he was knocked away again. His neck felt like it was about to break, like a ball being kicked around.

The fiery sword techniques flowed continuously, but unfortunately, most of them were missed by Lin Mu's high agility.

The soldiers' weapons clearly struck Lin Mu, but they slid to the side and struck the air next to him.

Lin Mu also realized that this agility and magical evasion seemed to be a higher-level rule of this world, which could not be precisely controlled no matter how much one practiced with their eyes and hands.

The impatient mage next to him, seeing the warrior miss 6 or 7 out of 10 strikes, shook his head, ran over, seized the opportunity, raised his Bone Jade Scepter, and resisted the fire ring.

A ring of fire exploded around him, the flash of light making Lin Mu's face burn. He took several steps back, his feet carving two deep furrows in the snow.

Before he could even regain his footing, the mage unleashed another lightning bolt, blue-white arcs of electricity shooting out from the bone jade scepter and piercing through Lin Mu's chest.

Lin Mu felt a tingling sensation spread from his chest to his limbs, as if countless fine needles were piercing his bones at the same time. It was both numb and painful, and his fingers trembled.

Then it appeared above Lin Mu's head.
