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

Then, with a flick of the sword tip at the skull, the white light detached from the sword tip, floated to the top of the skull, and merged into the skeleton.

In addition, the skeleton regenerates two health points per second, and +3, +3 appears above the skeleton's head as its health slowly recovers.

The skeleton's health had barely recovered when the Corpse King's chains came crashing down.

The iron chain was as thick as an adult's thigh, carrying a foul stench, and headed straight for the skull's face.

Seeing the massive iron chain, the skeleton learned its lesson and raised its axe to block. The chain struck the axe with a dull thud, sparks flying, but the end of the chain curved and swung off the axe, hitting the skeleton's shoulder blade.

-35.

The skeleton swayed slightly, but its feet didn't move an inch. It raised its head, the flames in its eye sockets staring straight at the Corpse King. It gripped the axe tighter, its knuckles cracking.

Lin Mu quickly switched back to two Taoist bracelets with the level 3 Taoist skill, and his Taoist skill returned to 31 points.

Then he took out some powder and applied a combination of green and red poison to the Corpse King.

[MP: 90/123 → 30/123].

Two handfuls of powder were sprinkled over, and the Corpse King's body glowed green and then red, and something jumped out from his head.

-31, -31, -31...

At this moment, in front of Lin Mu were skeletons and the Corpse King, and further ahead were electric zombies.

The electric zombie only went invisible after Lin Mu finished attacking it. Now that Lin Mu is not visible, it can only shoot electricity at the skeletons it can see.

However, the Corpse King applied the poison after Lin Mu went into stealth mode. Once the poison was applied, although Lin Mu was still in stealth mode, the Corpse King had already locked onto his aura through Lin Mu's attacks.

Lin Mu had to actively move his feet, break his stealth, and then become invisible again in order to hide his figure and aura from the Corpse King's perception.

So, just as Lin Mu finished sprinkling the powder, the Corpse King turned around, its dark eye sockets locking onto Lin Mu's location, and the chains rattled as it walked towards him.

Lin Mu quickly took a step forward, deactivated his invisibility, and then raised his hand to cast another invisibility spell.

Halfway there, the Corpse King saw its target vanish suddenly, its dark eye sockets darting around, and the chains on its body rattling loudly.

The Corpse King circled around a few times, but couldn't find Lin Mu, so it turned its hatred towards the skeleton.

At this moment, the skeletal figure wearing a robe was wielding an axe, chopping at the electric zombie one blow after another under Lin Mu's command.

The electric zombie's health had been whittled down to less than a third, its pale skin covered in cracks like a dried-up riverbed, and the electric arcs flickered intermittently at its fingertips, the crackling sounds growing weaker and weaker.

Lin Mu waited for Lan to slowly reply, occasionally sending over a Soul Fire Talisman or a Healing Spell to assist the skeleton in its battle.

The Corpse King walked behind the skeleton and swung the iron chain down.

With a thought from Lin Mu, the skeleton seemed to have eyes in the back of its head. It dodged to the side, and the iron chain grazed its shoulder blade as it crashed to the ground, sending shards of stone flying and creating a fist-sized crater in the ground.

The skeleton, having dodged the attack, swung its axe at the electric zombie again, dealing -161 damage. The electric zombie finally couldn't hold on any longer, swayed, and collapsed to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

Experience gained: 360

Lin Mu glanced at it, but nothing exploded, so he quickly turned his attention back to the Corpse King.

The skeleton turned its head, the flames in its two eye sockets staring straight at the Corpse King, the axe in its hand, motionless, like two silent opponents facing off.

Lin Mu looked at the skeleton and a question suddenly popped into his mind: it had been in a state of enlightenment for so long, so why hadn't it used any offensive sword techniques?

Not only was Lin Mu puzzled, but the skeleton itself seemed to be puzzled as well. Its CPU was fully loaded, yet it was sitting there with the luster on its bone surface flickering, as if it were performing some kind of high-speed calculation.

Lin Mu felt the point of light in his mind begin to throb violently, with a sense of agitation, as if it were rummaging through something or searching for some memory.

The light spot jumped faster and brighter, almost swallowing his entire consciousness.

The Corpse King didn't care about any of that. He swung the chains again, making a whooshing sound as they slammed into the skeleton's chest.

-28.

Chapter 97 The Evolution of Skeletons

The skeleton didn't even flinch, as if it hadn't been hit itself. It ignored the Corpse King, instead pulling out the "Attack and Kill Sword Technique" from the seams of its robe, holding it between two finger bones, and raising it to its eyes.

The skill book that had been impossible to open before suddenly opened on its own without any wind. The entire book then transformed into countless tiny specks of light, which drifted away like fireflies and gradually merged into the skeleton's bones.

The points of light intertwined and flowed across the skull's surface, as if carving ancient runes into the bones.

The golden and emerald green luster on the bone surface suddenly brightened a bit, then slowly dimmed, as if it had been absorbed by the bone.

The skeleton dodged the second chain that the Corpse King brought down, and then swung its axe backhand.

A white light flashed from the axe blade, silently slicing across the Corpse King's chest. The white light was more solid than before, like a tangible blade.

Lin Mu's mind automatically added a sound effect to the axe blow: "Drink!"

A number floated above the Corpse King's head.

-204.

The damage is significantly higher than before.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, then quickly checked the skeleton's status bar.

HP: 2954/3500

Attack: 20-100

[Defense: 30-30]

[Magic Control: 30-30]

[Health Regeneration: 2 points per second]

[Skill: Offensive Sword Technique Lv.0]

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

This skeleton actually learned it, and its health increased by 500 points, and its attack limit also increased by 8 points.

He was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised by the skeleton's incredible learning ability, and delighted that with the offensive sword technique, the skeleton's output had reached a new level.

At this moment, Lin Mu cast another healing spell on the skeleton. White light floated into the top of the skeleton's head, jumping around with +3, +3, and the skeleton's health slowly recovered.

Suddenly, another batch of zombie monsters spawned in the passage, waddling out of the darkness. Some stood upright, while others crawled on the ground due to mobility issues, swaying and staggering as they walked towards this side, completely blocking the already narrow passage.

Lin Mu was overjoyed. This was perfect; everyone else was definitely trapped in the passage and couldn't interfere with his fight against the Corpse King.

He was invisible, so the zombies couldn't see him. Instead, they swarmed around the skeleton, some grabbing, some biting, some headbutting him, using all sorts of attacks in turn.

The skeleton wasn't afraid at all. With a defense of 30-30, the zombie's attacks couldn't even scratch its skin, and no numbers even appeared above its head.

While dodging the Zombie King's chains, the skeleton engaged in a fierce battle with him, completely ignoring the zombies. It swung its axe repeatedly, and the Zombie King's chains slammed down on it, sparks flying everywhere. The sound of chains colliding with axes echoed through the passage, like the forging of iron.

Lin Mu wasn't idle either. He took out some medicine powder and applied green poison to each of the little zombies around him, causing them to jump around with -31, -31 above their heads.

At this moment, the zombies locked onto Lin Mu's aura and pounced on him, with several already almost reaching him.

He took a step to the side, breaking his invisibility, and then cast another invisibility spell, making himself semi-transparent again. He then took out a magic potion, drank it down, and leaned against the wall, waiting for Lan to slowly return.

And so, Lin Mu remained invisible, waiting for his mana to return. He would then poison the zombies that hadn't been poisoned before taking a step, disappearing again, waiting for his mana to return, and continuing to poison them.

The zombies were poisoned and spun around in circles. Some were spinning in place, some were scratching at the air, and some were bumping into each other. The scene was very chaotic.

Meanwhile, the skeletons were engaged in a fierce battle, with white light flashing frequently from their axes. On average, they swung their axes a little over once per second, flashing white light every three swings, tirelessly slashing at the Corpse King.

Later on, the skeletons stopped dodging altogether, annoyed that it slowed down their axe attacks. Unhappy with the fight, they simply stood still and took the hits head-on, hacking away with an axe every second.

At this moment, Lin Mu saw through the skeleton's reckless nature. He shook his head and thought to himself, "This skeleton usually remembers my instructions and fights steadily, but now he's caught up in the fight and is acting like he's drunk. He doesn't care about anything when he's fighting."

However, the Corpse King's chains are quite heavy, and its attack speed is not fast to begin with. When they hit the skeleton, the damage is limited, ranging from -28 to -35, while the skeleton continues to swing its axe.

In addition, Lin Mu's 31 points of green poison damage every three seconds averages out to more than 200 points of health loss per second for the Corpse King.

The Corpse King, with 32000 HP, lasted for less than 3 minutes.

As the skeleton delivered its final, deadly sword strike, the Corpse King's chains clattered down, and its massive body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust and creating a shallow crater.

Experience gained: 4000

At this moment, there were still a few small zombies around that hadn't been poisoned to death. Some of them, after being poisoned to death, stood up unsteadily, and the poison on their bodies disappeared.

Lin Mu ignored them and let the skeletons deal with them. He took a few steps to the corpse of the Corpse King, squatted down, and started digging.

The corpse of the Corpse King was large and heavy, and it took him a lot of effort to turn it over and grope around in the ashes.

Twenty gold coins, a ring, and a skill book.

He picked up the skill book and took a look.

"Lightning Cinema" requires level 26.

Not bad, worth quite a few gold coins.

He picked up the ring again.

[Pearl Ring, Taoist Skill 0-5, Requires Level 20].

It has 3 more points of Taoist magic than a regular pearl ring, making it a top-tier item.

Without saying a word, he put it on and replaced the blue crystal ring, exclaiming, "The BOSS is really good at dropping top-tier items, and the experience points are high too!"

Then I checked the status and saw that several attributes had changed:

[Attack: 8-13] → [Attack: 7-13],

[Taoist Arts: 3-31] → [Taoist Arts: 3-33],

[Magic Control: 2-7] → [Magic Control: 2-5].

After picking up the items, Lin Mu turned around and realized that the green poison triggered by the skeleton's attack had increased from 1 point to 2 points, and every axe strike could now inflict green poison.

Lin Mu thought to himself that the skeleton's enlightenment effect had increased both the probability of poisoning and the poison damage. It seemed that his skeleton was a growth-type talent. He wondered what the skeleton would evolve into in the future, and when the green poison could catch up with his own poison damage, so that he would no longer need to use green poison.

Before long, the monsters were almost all killed by the skeletons. Lin Mu went over and searched the zombie corpses. There were a few dozen copper coins, three silver coins, and two skill books scattered around.

Fireball Technique and Basic Sword Technique.

He carefully put away the copper and silver coins, and also stuffed the fireball spell into his storage bag.

When I picked up the basic swordsmanship, that point of light in my mind started flashing again.

Lin Mu smiled. The skeleton had just learned the offensive sword technique, and he had originally planned to have it learn basic swordsmanship. Now it was just right.
