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

A cluster of scarlet eyes gleamed fiercely in the center of the head, while pale white fangs protruded menacingly.

Then, two clouds of poisonous mist, one gray-green and the other dark red, exploded one after the other on the body of the Sirius Spider. The surface of the Sirius Spider quickly alternated between green and red light, and the numbers -109, -109... began to appear above its head.

Taking advantage of the fact that the monsters' attention was completely drawn but before they surrounded him, Lin Mu quickly used an invisibility spell, turning his figure into a semi-transparent phantom and hiding close to the corner of the city wall.

The Sirius Spider, Steel Fang Spider, and the surrounding spiders without the ability to break stealth suddenly lost their target and paced anxiously in place, their shrieks rising and falling as if they were asking each other where their prey had gone.

Lin Mu's mind stirred slightly as he secretly tallied the magic power he had consumed.

[MP: 453/453 → 330/453], the Poison Spell of the Yun-10 consumes 110 mana points per cast, and a total of 220 mana points are consumed for two casts. The duration of the poison is estimated to increase to 11 minutes. In addition to the consumption of the Invisibility Spell and the recovery of the Magic Blood Stone, I still have 330 mana points left.

He looked up into the horde of monsters and saw that the few Moon Demon Spiders that could see through his invisibility were no longer circling around but had already surrounded him.

Their appearance is even more disturbing than that of the Sirius spider.

Its entire body was dark purple, gleaming with an eerie dark light. Its body was more bloated and bizarre than that of an ordinary spider. A pair of withered black bat wing membranes grew on its back, trembling slightly. It moved with extreme speed and pounced straight towards Lin Mu.

Lin Mu was slightly startled, not by the Moon Demon Spider's appearance, speed, or flight posture.

Instead, he noticed that behind the Moon Demon Spiders, a gray mist was rising within a two-body-width radius around the first Sky Wolf Spider he had poisoned.

Any monster that passes by the Sirius Spider will be infected with red and green poison. The Sirius Spider is like a mobile plague source, spreading poisonous mist to monsters within two body lengths of it, turning previously clean monsters into red and green poison.

The few steel-toothed spiders that had tried to ambush him were right around the Sirius Spider.

It seems this is a special effect of the Y-10 poison.

It's a bit of a shame that the monsters that were poisoned by the venomous creatures around the Sirius Spider didn't develop the same poisonous mist as the Sirius Spider. Furthermore, the Sirius Spider's poisonous mist dissipated after 10 seconds, as if the gray mist was just a one-time ripple that disappeared once it spread.

At this moment, several Moon Demon Spiders drew closer and closer, and were about to bypass the skeleton and head towards Lin Mu. Lin Mu raised his hand and summoned a divine beast.

A burst of orange-red light erupted in front of him, and the divine beast emerged from the light, letting out a low roar as it stood in front of several Moon Demon Spiders, spewing out a mouthful of flame.

-68.

The Moon Demon Spider was sprayed with fire, but it didn't want to pay any attention to this bulky giant.

With a flap of its small wings and a sideways movement, it tried to bypass the divine beast and pounce on Lin Mu.

But it forgot that there was a skeleton standing next to it.

The positions of the divine beast and the skeleton had been calculated and adjusted by Lin Mu in advance, perfectly blocking the narrowest part of the gap.

The two summoned creatures were placed sideways, completely filling the small empty space in front of Lin Mu.

The Moon Demon Spider had barely moved half a step to the side when the skeleton unleashed a deadly sword strike. The Dragon Slayer Blade drew an arc of light and slashed fiercely at its side.

-154.

In the distance, the monster horde, which had been stirred up again by the appearance of the divine beast and the skeleton, seemed to have finally found a target to approach and began to surge toward them.

Chapter 279 Nothing special

Lin Mu stood behind the skeleton and the divine beast. The gap in front of him was completely blocked by the two summoned creatures, and no monster could bypass their defenses and reach him.

Therefore, although Lin Mu's situation looked dangerous, it was actually quite comfortable.

Without stopping, he drank a large magic potion.

With the blessing of the Supreme Demon Bloodstone (Large), magic +6, +6, +6...

Lin Mu quickly replied, then once again alternated between red and green poison. The poisonous mist exploded continuously among the monsters in the vicinity and in the distance. Before long, most of the monsters within his casting range were infected with the red and green poison, and they all floated up above their heads.

-109, -109, -109...

The numbers, appearing every two seconds, are densely packed together.

At the same time, the skeleton slashed out with its dragon-slaying blade, the arc of light from the crescent-shaped blade sweeping across the three moon demon spiders surrounding it.

-1121, -1087, -1243.

The Moon Spider has 15,000 HP, which seems like a lot, but it only takes a dozen seconds to kill it under the skeleton's blade.

Experience gained: 2000

Experience gained: 2000

Experience gained: 2000

In the blink of an eye, three monsters fell in front of the skeleton.

And the moment the Moon Demon Spider falls, the poisonous mist will explode from its corpse, poisoning any monsters that were missed during the poisoning process.

The mythical beast blocked the opening on the other side, spewing out bursts of flame.

-604, -572, -621...

Although the damage appears to be half that of the skeleton, the actual total output of the divine beast is significantly lower than that of the skeleton due to the skeleton's superior attack speed and range.

The main function of the mythical beast is simply to plug the gap.

And so, the mythical beast blocked the way on the other side, while the skeletons were responsible for the main damage output.

Not long after.

Sirius Spider has fallen.

Experience gained: 1000

The black-spined spider fell.

Experience gained: 7000

The Steel-Toothed Spider fell.

Experience gained: 2000

……

The monsters fell one wave after another.

The Spirit Gathering Pearls on Lin Mu's waist swelled rapidly, one after another filling up completely.

Although Lin Mu is not the main damage dealer now, he doesn't rest in the back. Occasionally, when a divine beast is destroyed, he immediately raises his hand to summon a divine beast, allowing the fully healed divine beast to stand up from the light and return to its original position.

He didn't need to worry about the skeleton at all.

The skeleton's damage was too high. The high attack made the life steal of the Rainbow Demon Set seem very powerful. In addition, the skeleton itself regenerated 6 points of health per second, and Lin Mu cast a group healing spell when he had a spare moment. The group healing spell was originally aimed at the divine beast, but as the light circle expanded, it also included the skeleton.

With such powerful life-stealing and regeneration abilities, the skeleton's health bar barely moved from beginning to end, like a tireless machine that just kept swinging its sword and cutting.

The Flying Eagle Guards, who had been watching Lin Mu gain a foothold among the monsters, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

The main reason was the "girl" in dark purple armor in front of Lin Mu, who wielded the Dragon Slayer Blade with great skill, making the Moon Demon Spider look like paper in front of her, and she handled it decisively.

Several young members of the Flying Eagle Guard stared at the figure tanking damage and using the Crescent Slash amidst the monster horde, and couldn't help but whisper, "Really... a warrior can tank monster damage and use the Crescent Slash in a horde of monsters? What kind of superhuman is this?"

The people nearby also paused for a moment on the dark purple figure. They looked at each other, as if they all saw the same question on each other's faces, but no one said anything.

A moment later, a young male mage said in a low voice, "That girl has already rushed ahead, and we grown men are still standing here?"

The person next to him didn't speak, but his grip on his weapon tightened.

A moment later, someone stepped out of the barrier's pillar of light and squeezed to the edge of the gap, unleashing spells and fire talismans at the monsters in front of the skeleton and the divine beast.

Sparks and flashes of light appeared amidst the monsters. Blue-white arcs of lightning struck down from mid-air, while fire talismans flew out through gaps, exploding into clusters of orange-red light on the spider's carapace.

The monsters fell even faster, like wheat that was already falling being pushed down by the wind, collapsing in large swathes.

At the same time, the Taoist's group healing spells rained down on Lin Mu's divine beast's head one after another, with layers of white light stacking up, stabilizing the divine beast's health bar and preventing it from dropping any further.

As the Flying Eagle Guards fought, they couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "This Crimson Moon monster isn't all that great. How come it scared the White Sun Gate people like that? My lightning strike deals hundreds of damage in one hit, it feels even better than fighting the mobs in Woma."

The person next to him nodded in agreement: "Yeah, the damage from my fire talisman isn't low, and it was pretty easy to deal with them. What are those people from Bai Ri Men afraid of?"

The group got more and more into the fight, and damage numbers kept popping up above the monster's head, dropping by hundreds one after another – it was exhilarating to watch. Someone even added with a laugh, "But the experience points are really satisfying!"

They didn't know that the monster was so easy to defeat because of Lin Mu's red poison.

Lin Mu calculated that when he was at Luck 9, attacking monsters with red poison dealt 7 times the damage.

Now with Luck +10, not only does it increase the spread of poison mist against poisoned monsters, but the +10 Luck Red Poison also turns attacks into 8 times the damage.

Now that the Flying Eagle Guards have tasted the sweetness of monster-slaying, they haven't even considered the possibility of red poison. After all, Lin Mu's red poison is just too overpowered. They couldn't even imagine it, and they only thought that the monsters in Bai Ri Men had low defense and that the people of Bai Ri Men were too cowardly.

Meanwhile, many people's eyes were also drawn to the skeleton wearing dark purple armor, and they became more and more puzzled as they looked at it.

How could that female warrior standing in front of Lin Mu be so fierce? A single strike could deal over a thousand damage, cutting down Moon Demon Spiders like slicing vegetables. Someone whispered, "Who is this new character from the Empire? We've never seen her before!"

No one answered him, because no one really knew him.

Those who had been watching from behind the city wall at Bai Ri Men were completely dumbfounded as they watched the monsters fall one after another outside.

Some people stood with their mouths agape, their dry rations falling to the ground without them even picking them up; others took a few steps forward, gripping the edge of the breach in the city wall, as if trying to confirm they weren't seeing things; still others stood at the back of the crowd, clenching their fists until their knuckles turned white, their eyes following the figure in pure white as he moved back and forth outside, as if trying to find something in him that could explain everything before them.

Those crimson moon monsters that they usually avoided fell like wheat in front of that pure white figure, collapsing in swathes, several times faster than they remembered.

Chapter 280 Steel-Toothed Spider

Everyone had only one thought in their minds: What the hell is going on? It felt like all their previous understanding of Crimson Moon had been overturned, and their worldview had been shattered.

An elderly guard stood at the foot of the city wall, watching the spiders falling outside. He remained silent for a long time before whispering, "...Is this the same thing we fought before?"

No one answered him, because everyone was asking the same question: had the monster become weaker, or was the person standing there fighting the monster different?

Lin Mu didn't look back at the gazes behind him. He stood between the skeletons and the divine beasts, and sprinkled another bit of poison. The red mist exploded in the monster horde, and the numbers above his head became even denser.

However, Lin Mu soon discovered a problem.

Melee monsters, such as Moon Demon Spider, Sky Wolf Spider, Black-edged Spider, and even Flower Kiss Spider which can attack from a distance, have been decimated after getting close, but the Steel Fang Spiders in the distance have been piling up more and more.

They were still lined up at the edge of the forest, neatly blocking the army of melee spiders that wanted to surge forward from behind.

Dozens of steel-toothed spiders lined up in a row, their abdomens bulging, their steel teeth poised to fire, and then they launched their attacks simultaneously.

Dozens of dark gray streaks flashed through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, heading straight towards the breach in the city wall.

One of the Flying Eagle Guards, with sharp eyes, suddenly shouted, "Holy crap! Fire a volley!"

Everyone's expression changed.

This monster is far more intelligent than imagined. It not only knows how to form formations, but also knows how to concentrate firepower to attack a single point. Dozens of steel-toothed spiders aim at the same spot at the same time. Anyone who sees that scene would get goosebumps.

The skeleton reacted the fastest, holding the broad dragon-slaying sword horizontally in front of him. The blade flipped like the wind, and with a flick and twist of his wrist, the blade precisely struck the flying steel teeth, producing a series of dense "clanging" sounds.
