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

-

Inside the Demon Sealing Hall, the golden light spots were gathering, rotating, and expanding in front of Lin Mu, like countless tiny sparks being gathered together by an invisible wind, surging, burning, and solidifying into a ball of orange-red light.

After the light faded, the divine beast lay before him, its four limbs supporting it on the ground. The two flames on its head were even brighter than before, and the scales on its body were even thicker.

It raised its head, glanced at him, then lowered its head again, as if waiting for him to give the next command.

Lin Mu crouched down, reached out and touched the divine beast's head, then pointed to the skeleton swinging its sword in the darkness ahead: "Go up and help."

The divine beast suddenly swelled up, stood upright, and became a size larger than before. The flames on its head burned even brighter, and the orange-red light illuminated the surrounding stone walls.

The data on the panel changed accordingly.

[Divine Beast (Rest) → (Battle)]

[HP: 3000/3000→9000/9000]

……

It let out a low growl, took a step forward, and began to fight alongside the skeleton.

Lin Mu wasn't idle either. He took out some yellow powder and threw it at the wedge moth that the skeleton was attacking.

A red glow appeared on the moth's body.

The skeleton's blade became even faster, slashing down with a horizontal crescent-shaped slash, and the wedge moth floated out from the top of its head.

-776, -134, -123...

The mythical beast also unleashed a burst of flame, a thin flame that landed on the wedge moth.

-545…

Soon after, the moth collapsed to the ground.

A prompt appeared in Lin Mu's mind.

Experience gained: 210

Then the red mist burst from the corpse of the wedge moth, spreading outwards and staining the monsters in an even greater circle red.

Wait until another monster infected with the red poison falls to the ground.

The red mist then exploded again, spreading in all directions like ripples on the surface of water.

During this time, Lin Mu waited for Lan to come back up and then applied poison twice more.

In no time, the wedge moths, bats, and the luring Zuma monsters within a twenty-step radius of the skeleton and the divine beast were all glowing with a dark red light.

The monsters roared and charged forward, but the skeleton's dragon-slaying blade swept out a whole swarm, and the divine beast's flames spewed out in a string. Before long, the ground was covered with a layer of monster remains.

Lin Mu leaned against the wall, watching the two babies fight monsters, and felt that the efficiency was several times faster than before.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the empty Spirit Gathering Bead tucked at his waist. The moment his fingertips touched the surface of the bead, information about the Spirit Gathering Bead appeared in his mind.

[Spirit Gathering Orb, 1520/100000 experience points, requires level 30]

→【Spirit Gathering Orb, 2120/100000 experience, requires level 30】

→【Spirit Gathering Orb, 2970/100000 experience, requires level 30】

……

Not only did my own experience bar jump very quickly, but the experience from the Spirit Gathering Pearl also replenished very quickly.

At this rate, a Spirit Gathering Bead with 10 experience points can be filled in a short time, and then it can be released.

In that case, gaining experience by defeating monsters is equivalent to gaining double experience.

Lin Mu's lips curled up slightly. As expected of the craftsmanship of the Demon Sealing Lin family, the cost was low and much more cost-effective than smelting gold coins in the manor.

After all, there are few opportunities to smelt millions of gold coins as extravagantly as in the manor before; you still have to rely on your own efforts to slowly accumulate them.

As he was pondering this, he habitually glanced at the small map in his mind.

Then, to his surprise, he discovered that the bright spot of light, the Rainbow Demon Lord, was approaching and had already entered the 100-meter range of the skeleton's minimap.

That's right, the Rainbow Demon Lord is wandering this way. It'll be easy for me to lure the BOSS in a bit.

He took out some medicine powder, applied red poison to a few small monsters, and then cast an invisibility spell. His semi-transparent body pressed against the wall, waiting to clear out the small monsters in this area before luring over the Rainbow Demon Lord to fight the BOSS.

But after staring at the minimap for a while, he realized something was wrong.

The Rainbow Demon Lord's light spot no longer hovered around the edge of the minimap as before, but came straight towards this side, with a straight path and a clear target.

Lin Mu frowned; something was wrong.

Could it have sensed me? Since it wasn't hiding itself, it must have sensed my skeleton and the divine beast.

But before he could think any further, the Rainbow Demon Lord had already emerged from the darkness.

His dark blue body was more than two people tall, with bulging muscles, and the cloth with the word "demon" written on it swayed in the firelight.

Its crimson eyes were fixed on the two summoned creatures, and its long tongue lolled out as if licking the scent in the air.

Since the BOSS had delivered himself to his doorstep, Lin Mu couldn't just stand by and watch. He quickly took out the powder and scattered it out.

The gray powder arrived first, followed by a gray-green mist that enveloped the cult leader. Then, the cult leader was dyed green, and numbers appeared above his head.

-59, -59, -59...

Immediately afterwards, yellow powder was sprinkled out, and the cult leader's body turned from green to red.

Enraged by the poison, the cult leader turned and locked onto Lin Mu's aura. He quickened his pace, his heavy steps causing the ground to tremble slightly, and headed straight for Lin Mu.

The mythical beast participated in the battle for the first time and performed unexpectedly well.

Chapter 229 The Cult Leader's Roar

Before Lin Mu could give the order, it ignored the attacking monsters and charged forward on its two short, thick legs. Its orange-red body resembled a rolling flame in the firelight, standing in front of the cult leader's massive figure.

Then he lowered his body and spewed a thin flame from his throat, which landed directly on the cult leader's chest.

-217.

The leader's dual defenses are too high, especially with the red poison buff from the Yun 7.

The divine beast's flames only licked the leader's dark blue skin before extinguishing, leaving only a small blackened mark, like spitting on an iron plate. Once the spit dried, it didn't even leave a trace.

Lin Mu didn't just stand there dumbly. He took a step out of the invisibility spell and quickly cast another invisibility spell, his semi-transparent body sticking back to the wall.

The cult leader lost Lin Mu's aura, his crimson eyes scanned the darkness but failed to lock onto his target. He then slapped the obstructing divine beast in front of him.

-434.

The divine beast's health bar visibly dropped, and it staggered backward, its legs leaving shallow marks on the ground.

Lin Mu's heart skipped a beat. This kind of harm was wrong.

Previously, the leader could only deal a little over 300 damage to skeletons, but now he can deal over 400 damage to divine beasts with a single slap.

The divine beast's defense was significantly higher than that of the skeleton back then, which meant that the leader's attack power had increased considerably compared to before.

Could this be a chain reaction after the tree spirit fell to the ground?

Has the Rainbow Demon Cult Leader also become stronger?

Lin Mu felt that it was highly likely.

He thought for a moment, then with a thought, he ordered the divine beast to retreat and clear out the smaller monsters.

The divine beast let out a low growl, somewhat unwilling, but without hesitation, it turned and pounced on a group of newly awakened Zuma statues, spitting out a mouthful of fire to make room for the skeletons to attack the leader.

Then the skeleton came around from the side.

It stood a body length apart from the leader, holding the Dragon Slayer sword above its head. Seizing the moment the leader paused in his pursuit of the divine beast, it slashed down with the sword.

The cult leader was stabbed, and red text appeared above his head at the same time.

-887.

At the same time, the Rainbow Demon Lord let out a muffled groan, as if he hadn't expected the skeleton to deal such high damage, the damage even penetrating right through flesh and blood.

Then the Rainbow Demon Lord paused for a moment, his crimson eyes shifting from the divine beast to the skeleton as he chased after it.

The skeleton didn't stop; it took a step back to the side and then stabbed again.

-934.

The cult leader roared and continued the chase.

However, the skeleton's positioning was precise, always keeping a body length away from the leader, allowing the Rainbow Demon Leader to be within range of his sword aura attack for a spaced-out assassination.

The cult leader took a step forward, the skeleton retreated a step, and then slashed again. The white light on the Dragon Slayer Blade shone brightly one after another, and the numbers above the Rainbow Demon Cult Leader's head jumped out like a waterfall.

Lin Mu remained hidden, leaning against the wall, counting down the seconds as the Rainbow Demon Cult Master unleashed his blood mist attack.

Just three minutes later, the Rainbow Demon Lord shuddered, and dark red light surged from his body, spreading outwards.

The skeleton seemed to have calculated the time in advance, and without Lin Mu's command, the skeleton appeared in front of him with a "whoosh".

The Rainbow Demon Cult Master's blood mist missed its target, tumbled a few times in the air, and slowly shrank back into the cult Master's body.

Lin Mu's lips curled up slightly, and he felt much more at ease. Although the sect leader's attacks had become much stronger, his fighting style had not changed, which made things easier.

Furthermore, after the last battle, the skeleton had figured out the Rainbow Demon Lord's attack methods.

Now it can judge the timing and avoid it in advance on its own, so Lin Mu doesn't need to keep an eye on it and remind it all the time, which saves a lot of trouble.

After the skeleton steadied itself, it saw that the Rainbow Demon Lord's blood mist attack had ended. Without pausing, it picked up the Dragon Slayer and ran over to kite the Rainbow Demon Lord and assassinate him.

Lin Mu leaned against the wall, concealed, watching the skeleton's movements while silently calculating in his mind.

"On average, each strike deals 900 points of damage. With positioning and assassination, one strike per second, that's 54 points of damage in 10 minutes."

Based on previous data, the Rainbow Demon Lord's HP is estimated to be around 250 million. Considering occasional factors affecting attack efficiency, it would take approximately 35 minutes to reduce his HP to 30%.

He wasn't in a hurry. He leaned against the wall, occasionally chugging a magic potion, watching the Rainbow Demon Lord's health bar, and calculating the time.

After about 34 minutes, the Rainbow Demon Lord's health bar finally dropped to 30%.

But instead of teleporting away immediately, it first shuddered violently, then opened its mouth and let out a muffled roar that seemed to come from the deepest part of its chest.

The sound echoed back and forth across the dome of the Demon Sealing Hall, causing dust to fall from the stone walls and even making the torchlight flicker.

After it shouted that, a flash of white light appeared on its dark blue body, and it disappeared from the spot.
