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

Something is glowing beneath the ashes.

He reached out and pulled it open, and saw several coins and a round object.

10 copper coins.

and also……

Lin Mu picked up the thing and turned it over to take a look.

[Iron Bracelet: Accuracy +1, Durability 4/4, Requires Level 3]

Lin Mu stared at the line of text, paused for a moment, and then slowly grinned.

Iron bracelet.

Accuracy +1.

Legendary veteran players all know that this thing has top-tier attributes in the early stages.

Beginners have low attack power and often miss when attacking monsters; they might miss six or seven out of ten attacks. With accuracy, their hit rate will increase significantly.

Lin Mu held the little gadget in his hand, looked at it over and over several times, and then carefully put it into his pocket.

Not bad.

The very first monster you encounter drops items.

He glanced at his status bar again.

Experience: 20/100

I need 80 more experience points to level up.

Lin Mu gripped the wooden sword tightly, took a step forward, and continued walking deeper into the forest.

If you cut down four more, he'll reach level two.

Not far along, they saw another scarecrow standing in the grass, its withered yellow body swaying in the twilight.

Lin Mu didn't rush to go up.

He glanced at his blue bar first.

MP: 9/13

It has naturally recovered since I used the skill. It's 6 o'clock now, and about 7 or 8 minutes have passed.

At this rate, it takes about 50 mana points to recover in an hour. That's so slow.

He stood there and waited for a while, watching the blue bar jump to 10/13.

That's enough for 10 blue points.

As soon as Lin Mu had a thought, a cool sensation rushed out from his palm, flowing down his arm and onto the wooden sword.

The wooden sword emitted a faint gray light.

Your weapon has been coated with arsenic.

Lin Mu gripped the wooden sword, stared at the scarecrow, took a deep breath, and charged forward.

The first cut—

Miss.

Lin Mu's face darkened.

Missed.

He quickly stepped back, creating distance, and circled around the scarecrow.

The scarecrow's arm swung out, but he dodged it.

After circling around, he seized the opportunity and struck again.

puff.

-1

The scarecrow's body turned green.

Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly increased the distance, and continued to walk it in circles.

-1, -1, -1 floated out from above the scarecrow's head.

Two minutes later, the green on the scarecrow disappeared.

He rushed forward and stabbed again.

hit.

puff.

-2

The scarecrow has turned green again.

Lin Mu continued to slip away.

They just keep grinding away like this, occasionally adding a final blow.

……

After a few minutes

Experience gained: 20

Lin Mu walked over, squatted down, and rummaged through the ashes.

Seven copper coins.

There's also a small bottle.

He picked it up and took a look.

[Small Magic Potion: Slowly restores 30 magic points]

Great stuff, now I don't have to worry about running out of mana to use skills.

Lin Mu tucked the small bottle into his pocket, then looked down at the pile of ashes to make sure there was nothing else before standing up.

He recalled the two battles that had just taken place.

It inflicts 1 point of poison damage every three seconds, plus your own slashing damage.

It takes about 6 minutes for a scarecrow to die from poisoning, and considering the interval between finishing blows and applying poison, the monster will regenerate health.

Lin Mu gasped.

This scarecrow has at least 100 health points.

Furthermore, my attacks from level 2 to 6, the damage of a single slash is mostly 1 point, with only one instance of dealing 2 points of damage.

It now appears that this scarecrow has very high defense, at least 1-3.

but

He's poisonous.

Given time, the monster will obediently let you attack, and even the Demon Dragon Lord can be worn down to death.

and……

Lin Mu recalled the battle that had just taken place.

The Scarecrow monster's attacks are actually quite clunky; its movements are slow and its attack wind-up is long. As long as you react quickly, it's not hard to dodge.

He got hit just now purely because he was too hasty when he rushed in to finish off the enemy.

If you play it safe, you can actually avoid taking damage.

Furthermore, beating a scarecrow is too slow and a waste of time.

Rather than...

How about we try getting two?

Once the thought popped into my head, I couldn't suppress it anymore.

He has no healing potions left, only a magic potion.

If you get touched, you'll lose most of your health and lose the ability to run.

The risk is very high.

But when both are attacked together, the efficiency doubles.

Lin Mu gritted his teeth.

done.

He stood up and looked around.

The sun was setting in the west, but things were still visible.

A scarecrow stands in the distance.

Lin Mu didn't rush to go up.

He glanced at his blue bar first.

MP: 10/13

I dawdled a bit, and now my blue stat has returned to 10.

Just right.

With a thought, Lin Mu's wooden sword emitted a gray light.

Your weapon has been coated with arsenic.

He gripped his wooden sword, fixed his gaze on the nearest scarecrow, took a deep breath, and charged forward.

The first cut—

Miss.

Lin Mu's face darkened.
