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

That delicate face and that slender figure beneath the dark purple armor were all a disguise.

Someone muttered, "My God..." but swallowed the rest of their words, as if unsure what to say next.

Several young people immediately broke down in tears, muttering in mournful voices, "This isn't real...this isn't real...my love..."

The person next to him slapped him on the back of the head: "What love! That's a skeleton!"

The man was still muttering to himself while covering his head, but his eyes kept glancing at the stark white skeleton, as if trying to confirm whether he was seeing things.

But soon some rational people came to their senses, frowned and whispered, "He was clearly summoning a divine beast, so how could he also summon a skeleton?"

No one could answer him, because everyone had seen that a Taoist priest could only bring one summoned creature, but this person was defying that rule.

Lin Mu did not explain, nor did he wait for those gazes to settle.

He walked up to the skeleton, closed his eyes, and with a thought...

Silvery-white specks of light rose from the skeleton's frame, surging towards him one after another, covering his shoulder armor, breastplate, and arm armor, enveloping his body layer by layer.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Mu had turned from a person into a skeleton.

There was another moment of silence on the city wall. Those who were just stunned hadn't even had time to take their eyes off the white skeleton when they saw this even more illogical scene.

The lovestruck young people were even more distraught at the sight. One of them covered his face and wailed, "A skeleton would be fine too... Heavenly Venerable, please don't do this... mine..."

The person next to him covered his mouth and whispered to comfort him, "Alright, alright, all skeletons look the same. We'll have the Taoist brother summon one for you in a bit, and I guarantee it will be exactly the same."

The young man, whose mouth was covered, was still whimpering in protest, but the rest of his words were suppressed in the palm of his hand, turning into a few muffled murmurs.

Lin Mu didn't turn around to pay attention to them. He lowered his head, took out a teleportation ring from his Qiankun bag, put it on, and made sure it was secure. Then, with a thought, a flash of white light appeared, and he disappeared from the city wall.

Someone on the city wall shouted, "Where is everyone?"

No one answered him; everyone was standing on tiptoe, peering out, while the shadowy figure in the distance remained crouched in the same spot.

Just then, the person who had been observing from the city wall suddenly pointed deep into the monster horde and shouted, "There! The Celestial Venerable is in the monster pile!"

Everyone's gaze followed that direction, and they saw a white figure standing among the crimson monsters, dozens of feet away from the city wall, standing out conspicuously in the dark red light of the sky.

Lin Mu stood in the middle of the monsters, not in a hurry to make a move.

He first glanced at the crimson silhouettes surrounding him: Sky Wolf Spiders, Steel Fang Spiders, Moon Demon Spiders...

The monsters mingled together, huddled together.

Fortunately, the skeleton's minimap clearly marks the distribution of the surrounding glowing spots, allowing him to avoid areas where Moon Spiders are clustered and choose areas with fewer units that have broken stealth.

As soon as he regained his footing, he sensed that the monsters around him had locked onto his direction.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and cast an invisibility spell, his semi-transparent figure stopping close to the ground.

The other spiders, which had been eager to make their move, suddenly lost their target, circled around aimlessly a few times, and then stopped moving again.

Only a few Moon Demon Spiders were still moving towards him, but they were blocked by other spiders that were crowding around them, and they couldn't get through for a while.

The monsters around the Moon Demon Spider seemed to have received some signal and began to stir, slowly crowding in.

However, they did not lock onto Lin Mu's aura; they simply moved forward blindly, led by the Moon Demon Spider.

Only a few steel-fanged spiders had an exceptionally accurate sense of direction. As if following the signal transmitted by the moon demon spiders, they directly locked onto Lin Mu's direction, arched their forelimbs, opened their mouthparts, and shot out their dark gray steel fangs.

Chapter 290 Level 47 Bloodlust

Lin Mu reacted quickly, his fan snapping open with a "snap," and with a flick of his wrist, the wide fan surface was held horizontally in front of him. Several steel teeth struck the fan ribs with a "clanging" sound, but he deflected them one by one, sending them bouncing off the nearby broken wall and scattering a cluster of sparks.

He cursed under his breath, "The Moon Spider's stealth-breaking effect can indeed be shared now. This thing is much more troublesome than I imagined."

Despite his cursing, he didn't stop what he was doing. Taking advantage of the moment, he raised his hand and unleashed a green poison at the nearest Moon Demon Spider.

The gray-green mist exploded on its wing membrane, and the numbers -110, -110 appeared above its head. Then the poisonous mist spread out from its body like ripples on the surface of water, extending to a range of two body lengths around it.

Several steel-toothed spiders and flower-kissing spiders nearby were also affected by the poisonous mist, their bodies glowing green, and rows of numbers popped up above their heads: -110, -110...

The spiders continued to approach him.

But Lin Mu ignored them and applied several more poisons to the spiders in the distance before drinking two large bottles of magic potions.

Make the magic regenerate at +6 every second.

With another thought, a flash of white light appeared, and the person disappeared from the original spot, reappearing in a new gap dozens of meters away.

After landing, Lin Mu became invisible again, causing the spiders that had just locked onto him to lose their target once more.

Then he raised his hand and sprinkled handfuls of powder onto another group of spiders in the distance.

Each time he landed, he would raise his hand and sprinkle a handful of powder into the surrounding monsters. The gray-green mist exploded among the monsters, and the numbers above his head jumped up densely.

He walked around Bai Ri Men City, and then around it again...

Outside the city, corpses began to appear in large numbers, along with newly spawned monsters.

The corpses were being swallowed up by the ground at a rate that could hardly keep up with his cleanup efforts; the wreckage was piled up in layers outside the city, as if it would never be completely cleared away.

Standing on the city wall, Old Xue stared blankly at this scene, unable to calm down for a long time.

His fingers, gripping the city brick, trembled slightly as his gaze followed the elusive white figure that weaved through the monsters, appearing, vanishing, and reappearing...

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, or as if he was choked by something.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice very soft, as if he were talking to himself:

"The lonely city is shrouded in eternity by demonic fog, and the suburbs are filled with strange and monstrous creatures."

Clad in white, he cast a spell and stood tall against the desolate sky.

Body and skeleton merge, poisonous mist swirls, demonic traces remain.

It's as if I can see the shadows of the sages of yesteryear, and the youthful spirit soars like

He remained calm and composed, even when a thousand troops retreated.

After this body departs, who will guard the heavens?

After saying that, he fell silent again.

The wind blowing from the city wall lifted his gray beard and then let it fall back down.

Although Lin Mu could kill monsters in the wild quickly, they also respawned quickly.

Lin Mu stood in the middle of the monster horde, scattering another handful of medicinal powder. Watching the demonic shadows falling in droves in the distance, he remained on edge.

He circled around several times, but still couldn't see the Two-Headed King Kong or the Two-Headed Blood Demon. Even the skull's minimap didn't show any new lights.

The real elites have been transferred somewhere, and all that's left here are lowly fodder who are quick to be replaced and quick to die.

This Crimson Moon Demon is definitely plotting something, but Lin Mu can't figure out what it's up to yet.

He withdrew his gaze, no longer pondering those unfathomable matters, and simply scattered bag after bag of powder in his hand, treating it as if he were grinding monsters, since the experience points and the spirit-gathering beads were real anyway.

Green Poison deals 110 damage every two seconds, which amounts to 36300 damage over 11 minutes.

Aside from the Black-edged Spider and Blood Zombie, which have high health and can last a little longer, the other mob spiders can't withstand a single round of poison before collapsing.

One spirit-gathering pearl after another filled the spiritual energy at Lin Mu's waist. Before he could even put them into his storage bag, the next one would start jumping up, as if a waterfall of experience points was constantly gushing out from his waist.

He would collect one and use it at a time.

He started climbing from level 45, as if someone was constantly adding numbers to his status bar under a dark red sky. The white light flashed round and round, and when it stopped, he was already standing at level 47.

He glanced down at his remaining supply of Spirit Gathering Pearls; they were all used up.

To level up from level 41 to 47, he used a total of 572 million experience points, half of which came from the Spirit Gathering Pearl and the other half from his own hard-earned experience.

If converted to the manor's Spirit Gathering Beads, just refining 286 million experience points would cost 28.6 million gold coins, while empty Spirit Gathering Beads, although cheaper, would still cost 572 million gold coins to create that many beads.

Lin Mu shook his head and stopped thinking about it, because at level 47 he could finally learn the Bloodlust spell.

Lin Mu learned from the Royal Martial Arts Academy that this Bloodlust Technique is different from the one in the game that can be used continuously. It's like the Warrior's Heaven-Slaying Slash; you have to wait for it to cool down after using it once, and you can only use it again after it's cooled down.

It comes at a high cost, but it's also incredibly powerful. Once it hits, it can absorb a large amount of the target's life force to replenish itself, making it the kind of thing that can turn the tide in crucial moments.

However, Lin Mu was not in a hurry to learn it on the spot.

He slipped into a corner where there were no Moon Demon Spiders and first took a picture of himself to become invisible.

The semi-transparent figure stopped close to the ground, then took out the Taoist's ultimate skill book, "Bloodlust Technique," from its Qiankun bag and opened it.

The skill book transformed into tiny specks of light and disappeared into his brow, adding a new line to his skill bar: [Bloodlust Lv.0].

He closed his eyes, waiting for the light to settle completely deep within his consciousness before opening them again, his gaze falling on a celestial wolf spider not far away.

The creature landed not far away, its tentacles twitching, unaware that it had been targeted.

Lin Mu first threw a red poison, followed by a layer of green poison, until the numbers -110, -110... appeared above the Sky Wolf Spider's head.

Only then did he aim slowly and deliberately.

With a "snap," Lin Mu opened his fan, and then, with a thought, a dark red magic circle slowly condensed beneath his feet.

Then Lin Mu pointed his fan at the Sky Wolf Spider.

Almost simultaneously, a spurt of blood suddenly shot out from the top of the Sirius Spider's head, as if something had exploded inside its body for a moment, tearing open an artery and causing blood to gush out.

But the gushing blood didn't spray down; instead, it condensed into thin, blood-red threads in mid-air, all turning around and rushing towards Lin Mu.

The blood-red threads instantly gathered on Lin Mu's head, and quickly condensed into a bright, glowing blood bead.

Once the blood lines had fully condensed and the blood bead reached its brightest point, it sank slightly and disappeared into Lin Mu's crown chakra.

Chapter 291 The People from Bichon

He felt a surge of heat rush into his body, like drinking a mouthful of scalding ginger soup, warming him from his throat all the way to his dantian, and his whole body's blood and qi were stimulated.

Unfortunately, his health was full, so it was impossible to tell how much he had actually recovered.

However, the damage number floating above the Sky Wolf Spider's head was quite eye-catching.

-2078.

The level 0 Bloodlust spell dealt over 2000 damage in a single strike, far surpassing his level 4 Soul Fire Talisman.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "What would happen if this level were to be raised to level three?"

He suppressed his excitement, raised his fan, and wanted to fire another shot.
