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

The Empress landed beside the corpse of the Rainbow Demon Lord, glanced at it, and then turned to Lin Mu, saying, "The Crimson Moon Demon has appeared over in the central square..."

She briefly recounted what had just happened.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he realized what was going on.

No wonder the monsters all looked into the city with such pious eyes when the earth shook.

It turned out they were welcoming their "god".

He quickly squatted down and swiftly stripped off the Rainbow Demon Lord's equipment piece by piece.

The more they dug, the more excited they became, because these pieces of equipment all carried the same blood-red aura and patterns as the skeleton's previous outfit. They were dark and gloomy, as if they had been soaked in some kind of power for a long time, and were much stronger than ordinary equipment. Now the skeleton could finally get new equipment.

[Dragon Slayer, Attack 5-65, Accuracy +3, Attack Speed ​​+3, Luck +7, Requires Level 34.]

[Heavenly Demon Armor, Defense 7-18, Magic Defense 5-14, Attack 1-12, Requires Level 40.]

[Holy War Helmet, Defense 4-10, Magic Defense 2-7, Attack 0-7, Requires Attack Power 40.]

[Holy War Bracelet, Defense 0-8, Attack 2-10, Requires Attack Power 40.]

[Resurrection Ring, Durability 0/5, Defense 0-3, Magic Resistance 0-3, Attack 0-3, Requires Level 16.]

When Lin Mu saw the resurrection ring, his eyes lit up. He immediately took out the special repair water from his Qiankun bag and carefully dripped it onto the ring. He watched as the dark silver ring began to glow slightly and its durability slowly recovered from 0/5 to 5/5 before putting it away. It was a pity that he could just summon the skeleton directly after it died; giving it this ring was a bit of a waste.

Keep digging...

[Rainbow Demon Necklace, Luck +2, Magic 0-4, Attack 0-7, Requires Level 33.]

[Rainbow Demon Bracelet, Taoist Magic 0-2, Attack 0-7, Requires Level 33.]

[Rainbow Demon Ring, Attack 0-11, Requires Level 33.]

Lin Mu looked at the attributes of the equipment in his hand and became more and more alarmed.

The attack attributes of the Rainbow Demon Set on the skeleton were all top-tier +5, making it one of the best items in its class.

This set not only has top-tier +7 attack attributes, but the necklace also has two extra points of luck.

Now the skeletons will finally have nine sets of equipment. It's terrifying. I'll put them all on the skeletons in no time.

Dig deeper...

[Soul-Avoiding Boots, Defense 1-7, Attack 0-6, Requires Level 35.]

[Steel Belt, Defense 0-7, Magic Defense 0-6, Attack 0-6, Requires Level 35.]

Lin Mu carefully put the items into his Qiankun bag one by one. In the end, all that remained of the Rainbow Demon Cult Master was a tight loincloth with a twisted "demon" character faintly embroidered on it. As the corpse gradually lost its warmth, the cloth hung loosely. There was no more equipment to strip. Nor was there a Qiankun bag.

Lin Mu put the items into his Qiankun bag, dusted off his hands, and turned to head into the city. "Let's go see that person."

But before he could take a step, the Empress reached out and stopped him.

"Wait a minute." As if she had thought of something, her gaze lingered on Lin Mu for a moment, then she withdrew her hand and remained silent for a while, as if she were pondering an idea that was not yet fully formed.

Just as Lin Mu was about to ask a question, the Empress took two steps forward and moved closer to him.

She had just finished a tough battle; fine beads of sweat still clung to her forehead, and her robes were stained with dust and burn marks. The smell of sweat mingled with the faint scent of medicine emanating from her body.

It doesn't smell good, but it doesn't smell bad either. It's a mix of sweet and sour, and when combined, it creates a unique and indescribable aroma.

Lin Mu subconsciously sniffed, but before he could even savor the moment, the Empress had already reached behind his neck, grabbed his collar, and raised her Soul-Devouring Staff in her right hand.

A flash of white light.

Lin Mu felt a blur before his eyes, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly changed. One second he was next to the corpse of the Rainbow Demon Cult Master, and the next second he was standing on a rooftop at the edge of the central square.

He paused for a moment, looked down at the tiles at his feet, and then looked up at the still writhing mass of rotting flesh in the distance.

The distance to the Crimson Moon Demon was approximately 3005 meters, just outside the attack range of the ground spikes.

Lin Mu turned to look at the Empress, his eye twitching slightly: "...Instant teleportation can also carry people?"

His tone was filled with barely suppressed shock.

The Empress didn't answer immediately. Her gaze fell on the two blood-red beads, as if sensing something. After a moment, she spoke: "The Woma leader was constantly teleporting just now, and when he died, he released a large amount of spatial energy. I can feel that the surrounding space is much looser than usual, making teleportation easier. However, the space is automatically repairing itself, and time is limited. Before long, this loosening will return to normal, and then I won't be able to teleport anyone else with me anymore."

She turned her head and glanced at Lin Mu. "So we need to hurry."

Lin Mu's heart stirred upon hearing this.

He didn't speak immediately, but instead disengaged from the combined state, closed his eyes, and allowed the skeleton's senses to extend outwards along with his consciousness.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, because the skeleton had come to the same conclusion.

Chapter 311 Attack on the Crimson Moon Demon

In this area disturbed by space, skeletons can now truly teleport, no longer needing to rely on Lin Mu as a teleportation anchor. Instead, like the Empress's instantaneous movement, they can freely teleport by relying solely on their own perception of the loosening of space.

Lin Mu lowered his head and quickly dressed the skeleton in the equipment he had just taken from the Rainbow Demon Cult Master. Unfortunately, it was gender-incompatible; the Heavenly Demon Armor wouldn't fit.

He glanced at the updated status bar of the skeleton:

Mutant Skeleton

HP: 5000/5000

Attack: 50-258

[Defense: 47-89] (After adding defense)

[Magic Defense: 43-67] (Adds Magic Queen)

[Health Regeneration: 6 points per second]

[Skills: Offensive Sword Technique Lv.3, Basic Swordsmanship Lv.3, Assassination Sword Technique Lv.3, Crescent Blade Lv.3, Fiery Sword Technique Lv.3]

An attack power of 258 is quite high in this world.

Not to mention ordinary warriors, even most boss-level physical damage dealers can't compare.

After all, the skeleton's base stats were already ridiculously high, and with the equipment Lin Mu equipped it with, its attack stats were almost pushed to the limit.

Looking across the entire continent of Marfa, there is probably no warrior whose skeletons have a higher attack power.

However, Lin Mu also discovered a problem: although the skeleton's attributes were very high, it was quite difficult for it to learn advanced warrior skills, just like when it learned the Fiery Sword Technique.

Lin Mu continued looking at the equipment section.

【equipment:】

……

[Rainbow Demon Ring, Attack 0-11, Requires Level 33.]

[Rainbow Demon Ring, Attack 0-9, Requires Level 33]

The two Rainbow Demon Rings stacked together do increase the attack cap, but the lifesteal effect does not stack with wearing an additional ring; it is still calculated based on the lifesteal ratio of a full Rainbow Demon set.

By this time, the skeleton had completely adapted to the loose space.

Its skeletal body leaned slightly forward, and a series of soft clicking sounds came from between its joints, like a taut bowstring being slowly pulled back.

The point of light representing the skull in Lin Mu's mind was also rapidly pulsating, its light growing brighter and brighter, like a ball of energy compressed to its limit.

Then a flash of white light, and the skeleton vanished from its spot without leaving any afterimage.

In the next breath, it appeared directly in front of the Crimson Moon Demon's pile of rotten flesh, its Dragon Slayer Blade raised high, enveloped in a layer of scorching crimson flames, and with a blazing sword technique accompanied by a whistling wind, it slashed down fiercely.

The blade struck the surface of the rotten flesh, exploding into a dazzling cluster of sparks.

Lin Mu could see clearly through the skeleton's perspective that the damage numbers jumped out from the two blood-red beads:

-1.

His eye twitched, his lips moved, and in the end, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it."

With a 258 attack power set, a single strike of the Blazing Fire Blade only managed to graze a drop of blood. The feeling was no different from hitting a city wall with an iron rod; the blade vibrated and hummed.

This thing has a skin thicker than a city wall; it can't be chewed up by brute force alone, and piling on attack power is useless.

He quickly did the math: even if his red poison could multiply the damage by 8, it would only deal 8 damage. The same logic applied to Moon Spirits and Divine Beasts; if the base damage didn't break through their defenses, any increase in damage would be useless.

Just then, the Crimson Moon Demon's counterattack arrived.

Suddenly, a spike burst from the ground beneath the skeleton's feet, its sharp bone spur piercing through the bluestone ground and embedding itself in the skeleton's hip bone, displaying a damage number: -1200.

The skeleton was jolted by the impact, its joints cracking, but it quickly regained its footing, took a step back to readjust its position, and then changed its attack, unleashing a swift, stabbing strike.

A silvery-white blade flashed across the surface of the rotting flesh, cleanly and decisively slicing into the dark red tissue, and damage numbers immediately appeared:

-258.

Lin Mu's eyes lit up.

As expected, an assassination attempt from a distance worked. That makes things easier.

He immediately teleported the skeleton back before the second spike could emerge.

The skeleton landed on the roof, its health bar dropping. Lin Mu raised his hand and cast a healing spell. White light fell on the skeleton, and then he cast a group healing spell. Layers of white light stacked up, slowly pulling the skeleton's health bar back up.

The Empress stood to the side, her gaze lingering on the beautiful skeleton before her for a long while.

At this moment, it was wearing the beautiful leather suit designed by Lin Mu, with the Dragon Slayer Sword lying horizontally at its side. From a distance, it really looked like a female warrior wearing gorgeous armor, with a slender figure and a calm posture. Only when you get closer can you see the white bones exposed under the armor plates and the flames dancing in the eye sockets.

As for the skeleton's teleportation, the Empress wasn't too surprised. She had seen this thing teleport to protect its owner several times in Bichon City before, so it wasn't unusual.

She looked at it for a moment, then turned around and asked, "How is it?"

Lin Mu shook his head: "This guy's defense is too high. Even the level 3 Fireball only dealt 1 point of damage. We have to rely on poison and assassination from a distance to slowly whittle him down. Your Majesty, please use Instant Teleport to teleport me to the Crimson Moon Demon so I can apply the poison and immediately teleport back. Then I'll send a skeleton over to assassinate him."

As he spoke, he looked down and pulled out two random teleportation scrolls from his storage bag, casually tucking them into his belt in a convenient spot.

If something goes wrong with the Empress's teleportation, or if the ground spikes come too fast to dodge in time, she can at least rely on the scroll to fly away randomly and save her life.

The Empress glanced at the two scrolls on his belt, said nothing, but walked closer to him, grabbed his collar, raised her Soul-Devouring Staff in her right hand, and a white light enveloped the two of them, instantly appearing in front of the Crimson Moon Demon.

The moment he landed, a strong, pungent stench of rotting flesh assaulted Lin Mu's senses. The stench was mixed with a cloying sweetness, as if a pile of rotten flesh had been suffocated in high temperatures for three days and three nights, making his stomach churn.

He couldn't help but hold his breath, glancing at the Empress out of the corner of his eye, and muttering to himself.

His Majesty didn't even suggest keeping a distance. Being so close almost suffocated him from the stench.

But he dared not stop his actions. He raised his hand and cast a red poison and a green poison. The gray-green and dark red mist precisely enveloped the surface of the rotten flesh, and the two blood-red beads immediately shrank slightly as if they had been scalded.

As soon as the poisonous fog dissipated, the Empress made another hand seal, and with a flash of white light, the two returned to the rooftop in the distance.
