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

Lin Mu did not stop after landing. With a thought, the skeleton leaned forward again, and with a flash of white light, it reappeared beside the Crimson Moon Demon.

This time, the skeleton didn't use Fireball. Instead, it teleported directly to the assassination position and immediately launched a gap-attack. Blades that ignored defense landed one after another on the mangled flesh, with the damage numbers steadily increasing.

-2064, -2064, -2064...

But the Red Moon Demon's spikes are no pushovers either.

Chapter 312 Teleportation Around the Enemy

One after another, grayish-white bone spikes emerged from the ground around the rotting flesh, precisely embedding themselves in the skull's hip bones, causing numbers to appear one after another above the skull's head.

-1200, -1200, -1200...

Lin Mu crouched on the rooftop, watching, his brow furrowing slightly. The ground spikes dealt fixed damage, ignoring both physical and magical defense, striking once per second.

Fortunately, the skeleton's attack speed is faster, slashing twice per second. The blades of the space assassination strike one after another land on the rotten flesh, and the damage numbers jump more frequently than the ground spikes.

In 5 seconds, the skeleton's 5000 HP was depleted, and then its skeletal body collapsed like dismantled building blocks, with the Dragon Slayer Sword and equipment clattering and falling next to the rotten flesh, forming a small pile.

Lin Mu stood on the rooftop watching, not panicking. He unfolded his fan with a snap, and with another lift, a smooth, white skeleton re-condensed on the rooftop beside him, but it was completely naked, standing there without any equipment.

Without pausing, the skeleton glanced down at its empty frame, then flashed white light and teleported back to the Crimson Moon Demon. After landing, it bent down and quickly picked up the equipment on the ground, putting it on one by one. In just one second, it resumed fighting.

Although he could only land 8 hits before being scattered by the ground spikes after each resummoning, Lin Mu's ability to summon, collect, and teleport quickly ensured that his damage output was almost uninterrupted.

Lin Mu squatted on the roof, his eyes following the skeleton as it moved back and forth around the Crimson Moon Demon, pondering and calculating in his mind.

Although the Crimson Moon Demon has a much higher attack speed and attack power than the Treant, and its attack range is also much larger, its fighting style is not as cunning as the Treant's.

The tree spirit will first lure the enemy, then change its moves, and then counterattack. It hides its combo so well that it is impossible to defend against.

But this Crimson Moon Demon only used ground spikes, ground spikes, and more ground spikes from beginning to end, without even a single feint. It was as if it was openly telling you, "I only have this one move, so what can you do about it?"

Lin Mu wasn't sure if it had just arrived in a new place and hadn't adapted to the environment yet, or if it felt it could overcome everything with brute force and was too lazy to deal with all the intricacies. In any case, the current situation was a good thing for him, at least he didn't have to be distracted by guessing what underhanded tricks it would pull next.

He didn't dwell on it for long and quickly turned his attention back to the skeleton.

Excluding the 1 second wasted picking up equipment by the skeleton, the skeleton was scattered by the ground spikes after each of its 8 attacks. Although the output was not interrupted, each time it was summoned again, teleported, and equipped, it was delayed by an extra one or two seconds. The overall rhythm was still a bit off, even though it could have been faster.

He stared at the back-and-forth attacks and defenses between the skeleton and the Crimson Moon Demon for several rounds, when suddenly an idea popped into his head.

Since the skeleton can teleport and dodge ground spike attacks, why doesn't it teleport around the Crimson Moon Demon?

It can dodge the Red Moon Demon's ground spike attack at crucial moments without leaving the assassination range, maintaining a continuous output rhythm.

Just do it.

Lin Mu summoned the broken skeleton again, and then, with a thought, gave the skeleton a new command.

After looting the equipment, don't stand still. Teleport in time with the spikes.

The skeleton did as instructed.

It had just teleported to the Crimson Moon Demon and put on its equipment when it felt the vibration under its feet. It tried to teleport away from the ground spikes, but failed and was hit by one, losing 1200 damage.

It steadied itself; having already taken a hit, it couldn't let it go unpunished, so it slashed twice more.

-2064, -2064.

Another second passed, and the ground shook again. The skeleton tried to teleport once more, and thankfully it succeeded this time. A flash of white light appeared, and the skeleton disappeared from its original spot. The ground spikes that had just stood there emerged but missed.

It landed on the other side of the Crimson Moon Demon and slashed twice more, -2064, -2064.

Then I tried to teleport again, but it failed. I got stabbed again, -1200.

……

After repeating this process, Lin Mu discovered a pattern.

The cooldown for Skeleton Teleport is approximately two seconds.

The skeleton's attack speed is two attacks per second, meaning it can teleport once every four attacks.

As Lin Mu watched the skeleton's actions, he mentally calculated the time: After the skeleton teleported to the Crimson Moon Demon's side, it equipped itself, took a stab in the first second, slashed twice, teleported again, and dodged the ground spikes in the second second; it slashed twice on the other side, took another stab in the third second, slashed twice more, teleported again, and dodged the ground spikes in the fourth second; it slashed twice more, took a stab in the fifth second... took a stab in the seventh second... took a stab in the ninth second... took the final ground spike in the eleventh second.

After counting, the skeleton was hit by 6 ground spikes in 11 seconds, each dealing 1200 damage, for a total of 7200 damage.

The skeleton only has 5000 health, so why can it withstand 6 hits before falling apart?

This is all thanks to the lifesteal attribute of the Rainbow Demon Set.

Each strike of the spaced-out assassination deals nearly 2000 damage. Although the lifesteal ratio of the Rainbow Demon set is not high, the speed of the attacks is unstoppable. With 20 strikes in 10 seconds, the lifesteal just makes up for the extra damage from the ground spikes.

That's why the skeleton can hold on a little longer before falling apart.

The skeletons have regained their footing, and Lin Mu squatted on the rooftop to do some calculations.

Aside from the necessary losses from resummoning, teleporting, and equipping skeletons after each time they are scattered, the current DPS is roughly stable at around 3485.

Although it wasn't low, he always felt it could be raised even higher.

He stared at the pile of rotten flesh of the Crimson Moon Demon for a while, then suddenly remembered the burning flames of the divine beast.

That thing deals true damage; even those with high defense can be burned.

He turned to the Empress and said something. Without saying a word, the Empress grabbed him by the collar and, in a flash of white light, sent him to the Crimson Moon Demon.

As soon as Lin Mu landed, he raised his hand and summoned a divine beast. A bright orange-red light exploded next to the rotten flesh, and the divine beast strode out of the light, roared, and breathed a mouthful of flame at the Crimson Moon Demon.

Although the fire attack itself did not cause any damage, the small fires it ignited on the ground began to inflict fixed damage on the Crimson Moon Demon.

Lin Mu looked and saw that the divine beast's little fire was now dealing 300 damage every two seconds, which was a slight improvement.

It's just a pity that this small fire doesn't aggravate the damage from Lin Mu's red poison.

But he didn't dwell on it too much. Taking advantage of the gap in the Crimson Moon Demon's ground spikes, he quickly summoned the Moon Spirit again.

Two bright yellow energy balls slammed into the rotten flesh. When the damage numbers popped up, it was clear that they hadn't even broken through the defenses; it was like a tickle.

Lin Mu glanced at it, and without hesitation, decided not to waste his combat power here. He directly transferred Yue Ling away, sending her to the city wall to help the guards clear out the small monsters.

The Empress also tried it out a few times.

The Heavenly Fire, Meteor Shower, and Fire Wall rained down on the Crimson Moon Demon in turn, but unfortunately, they couldn't even break through its defenses.

Chapter 313 Teleportation, Administering Medicine

Right now, the only reliable ways to deal consistent damage are the skeleton's gap-hitting assassination, the divine beast's flame burn, and Lin Mu's own poison damage that ticks every two seconds.

Lin Mu squatted on the roof, silently doing some calculations in his mind.

当前秒伤大概稳定在3645点左右，一分钟就是21万8700，一个小时下来能打1312万2000。

The problem is that he doesn't know exactly how much health the Crimson Moon Demon has. Calculating the damage per second is useless; he needs to know how big the target is.

Taking advantage of the moment when he went up to summon the divine beast, he raised his hand and cast another mental revelation. With a flash of white light, the thick light membrane around the Crimson Moon Demon seemed to be peeled away layer by layer, and several lines of data appeared directly in his mind.

【赤月恶魔，血量48345195/50000000，攻击1200-1200，防御600-700，魔御600-700】

Lin Mu silently counted the string of zeros, seven zeros, that's eight digits, 50 million HP, and the attack and defense are ridiculously high, no wonder that apart from the spaced assassination, other skills feel like tickling.

At the current output efficiency, it would take at least four hours to finish grinding.

He mentally reviewed the time again, then turned to look at the Empress beside him.

At this moment, the Empress had practically become his personal teleportation accessory.

Lin Mu said "Go," and she grabbed his collar and teleported to the Crimson Moon Demon; she said "Retreat," and a flash of white light brought him back to the rooftop.

Each time he was teleported there, either the poison was almost gone and needed to be replenished, or the divine beast had been scattered and needed to be summoned again. He was dizzy from being shaken around while still having to work.

Lin Mu muttered to himself when he heard this: skeletons can teleport themselves, so why do divine beasts have to be summoned by the user himself?

However, frequent teleportation wasn't all troublesome. It was a good opportunity to pick up the equipment that the Woma leader had dropped near the Crimson Moon Demon and put it into my Qiankun bag.

The Empress didn't have any objections at all. In fact, she would deliberately stop near the location where the equipment dropped each time she landed, making it easier for Lin Mu to pick up some of it.

As Lin Mu picked them up, he silently gave the Empress a thumbs up in his heart.

The teleportation ring has been discovered.

The Demon Blood Stone (Large) has been discovered.

The Celestial Venerable's Taoist robe has been discovered.

……

But as the fight went on, the Empress's expression suddenly darkened. After teleporting him back to the rooftop, she frowned and whispered, "No, the space is repairing itself. We can't keep going like this."

Before Lin Mu could even figure out what those words meant, she had already grabbed his collar again, and with a flash of white light, she brought him directly to the Crimson Moon Demon.

After landing, she didn't rush to fight. Instead, she began to use teleportation to move around the Crimson Moon Demon. Strands of white light flashed back and forth between the rotten flesh and the spikes, as if she was using high-frequency teleportation to forcefully hold back the healing spatial barrier.

The earth spikes would always chase after her and stab her, but she could always dodge at the last second before the bone spikes broke through the ground, leaving only a blur in the spot before being shattered into scattered points of light by the earth spikes.

Lin Mu was being carried around by her, teleporting back and forth. His head was spinning, but he soon noticed that the Empress's face was getting paler and paler.

The Empress carried him in one hand and held her staff in the other. She relied on teleportation to dodge the spikes and disrupt space the whole time. Occasionally, when she had a spare moment, she would summon her clone to teleport and disrupt space together. She didn't have time to stop to drink potions and recover mana.

The blue bar was visibly dropping. She gritted her teeth and dodged two more times before finally turning her head to Lin Mu and saying, "Quickly feed me my medicine."

Lin Mu quickly took out healing medicine and potent sun water from his Qiankun bag, unscrewed a bottle, and put it to the Empress's lips.

But as the Empress carried him back and forth, his head was already spinning, and his hands became unsteady. Several times he drank too quickly, and the bottle opening was not aligned properly. The medicine dripped down the corner of the Empress's mouth, causing her to cough twice and turn her head to glare at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu's hand trembled at her glare, so he quickly slowed down and carefully unscrewed the next bottle. He waited for her to swallow during the brief moment of transmission and then steadily brought the bottle to her lips. He watched her swallow before unscrewing the next bottle.

While administering the medicine, he also had to keep an eye on the divine beast's movements. The thing couldn't last more than a few seconds before being scattered by the earth spikes, so he had to quickly raise his hand and summon it again during the Empress's teleportation interval.

At the same time, the duration of the poison must also be calculated.

Once the poison is almost gone, we need to quickly replenish it with a combination of green and red poison to prevent the Crimson Moon Demon from recovering any health.

The Empress's mana bar stabilized with the help of the potion, and the rhythm of teleportation continued uninterrupted. The surrounding space was disturbed by her high-frequency teleportation, making it difficult to fully repair itself.

As for the skeletons, Lin Mu has discovered a problem: he no longer needs to summon them again.

The Empress was constantly using teleportation, and the high-frequency spatial disturbances seemed to make the skeleton's teleportation rhythm faster and faster, gradually shortening from once every two seconds to once every second.

The Red Moon Demon's spikes kept chasing and stabbing at it, but just before each spike broke through the ground, the skeleton would flash by and teleport to the other side, so the spikes would always miss.

In this way, the skeletons will no longer be scattered, so there is no need to summon them again or bend down to pick up and put on equipment. They can just stand steadily next to the Crimson Moon Demon and keep hacking away.

At the same time, Lin Mu noticed that the two clusters of eerie green flames in the skull's eye sockets were slowly turning dark red, exactly the same as what he had seen when the tree demon fell to the ground.
