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

Lin Mu glanced at the skeleton's attributes again.

[Defense: 30-30]

[Magic Control: 30-30].

Nothing has changed, but the mobs seem to be less damaging to it, and the average damage of the white boar has also decreased by 10 points.

It seems that the scales played a role.

This is good too. The skeletons will be able to withstand more damage in the future and won't break so easily. This suits the skeletons' reckless nature very well.

Next, thanks to the buffs from the Figure-Eight Slash, the Attack Sword Technique, and the Red and Green Poison, the damage per second against the White Boar reached 8 points.

Even though the skeletons were disrupted by the hammering, or Lin Mu reapplied the poison and pulled the white boar back, or the skeletons were broken and needed to be resummoned, all these factors combined meant that the white boar with 100,000 HP ultimately couldn't last more than seven minutes before collapsing to the ground.

When the skeleton was resurrected later, no more demonic energy was incorporated into the silver light spots, and the golden light spots seemed to have disappeared, leaving only pure silver.

The moment the white boar fell, Lin Mu felt the ground tremble. Then, a thick demonic aura emanated from the boar's body. The demonic aura was black with purple undertones and rose from the boar's corpse like thick smoke. Lin Mu was a little too close and coughed twice, feeling a bit dizzy.

Fortunately, a flash of light appeared in his mind, which relieved him somewhat.

He quickly touched the top of his head and thankfully it was flat. At the same time, he thought that he should stay away from the white boar when it fell down in the future, otherwise he felt that horns would grow on his head in a few days. He didn't want to become like those demonized miners.

Only then did he have time to notice the prompt in his mind.

[Experience gained: 16500]

You get more experience from fighting big monsters.

Looking at the pile of items, there were quite a few loot, but most of them were worthless potions and some gold coins; there was only one piece of equipment.

Just like in the game, Fengmo Valley looks like it has a lot of white boars, but 99% of them are fake. They're okay for making some coins, but don't expect to get good equipment and make a fortune from them. The real boss, the Evil Serpent, is the one to watch out for.

That thing is the real treasure; any item that drops there can fetch a high price.

The skeleton that had defeated the white boar then turned to attack the smaller monsters that hadn't yet been poisoned.

Lin Mu drank a magic potion to replenish his mana, then stealthily went over to collect the loot that had dropped.

He squatted beside the white boar's carcass, rummaging through the ashes and stuffing them one by one into his Qiankun bag.

10 x Sun Water has been discovered.

Two doses of potent solar water have been discovered.

A magic potion (large) x10 has been discovered.

10 Large Wound Medicines have been discovered.

50 gold coins have been discovered.

And that one and only piece of equipment, the Memory Helmet, has been discovered.

[Memory Helmet, Defense 3-3, Requires Level 26].

Not bad. Although it's not top-tier, it's from the Memory Set. Now I only need the necklace and bracelet to complete the set.

Lin Mu then picked up the large wound medicine and the large magic potion and looked at them.

[Large Healing Pill: Slowly restores 90 health points]

[Major Magic Potion, slowly restores 150 magic points].

These are just the potent healing potions and powerful magic potions from the game, only the names have changed. He put the items into his storage bag one by one, feeling quite satisfied, since there was plenty of experience here and leveling up was fast.

Then more notifications started appearing:

[Experience gained: 400], this is what brought down the black maggot that already had little health left from the poison;

[Experience gained: 3] A bat was killed by a skeleton's throwing axe, and the bat's body fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a thud;

[Experience gained: 600], a black wild boar fell to the ground.

……

Before long, all the monsters were killed, and the hall became quiet, with only the crackling of the torches and the occasional roar of monsters in the distance.

There were some copper coins and potions scattered on the ground, and Lin Mu leisurely went over to pick them up.

After picking up the coins and potions, just as I was about to leave, I saw a faint light shining through the cracks in the black maggot corpse at my feet, whose abdomen had already been ripped open.

He squatted down and opened the package to examine it, finding a necklace inside.

The necklace featured a small red palace lantern pendant suspended from a piece of plain white cord. The lantern had sharp edges and a faint golden glow, with a delicate tassel hanging below. It swayed gently between the fingers, making it small and exquisite.

[Lantern Necklace, Magic Dodge 10%, Attack 1-0, Luck +2, Requires Level 18]

Lin Mu's hand trembled slightly. He secretly rejoiced, realizing he had almost lost such a top-tier necklace. It would have been a huge loss if he had left. At the same time, he thought to himself, "Sure enough, it's often like this. The White Boar that looks like a boss is actually a dud, while some of the regular monsters drop really good stuff."

Lin Mu immediately put on the lantern necklace and replaced the white tiger tooth necklace that he always wore.

My Taoist skill level dropped from 33 to 30, but my luck increased from 2 to 3.

He stared at the "Luck: 3" in the status bar, wondering what would happen this time, since each increase in luck had made his poison stronger.

Thinking it over, Lin Mu handed the torch to the skeleton and patted its shoulder blade: "Let's go, give it a try."

Lin Mu followed behind the vanguard general. After walking a few steps, a black rubber tire suddenly rolled out of the darkness. It was a black maggot. It didn't brake when it saw people and crashed straight into the skeleton.

The skeleton swayed slightly, and something floated out from above its head.

-13.

It seems that the speed of the maggots can still cause some damage. The one that was blocked by the white boar had to circle around a few times before it could get close. Without speed, it naturally had no impact force and just stood there scratching at the ground, unable to deal any damage.

However, Lin Mu wasn't going to tolerate it. He had no choice but to kill the white boar, and this little maggot dared to bump into his precious skeleton. He might as well use it to test the poison of Lucky 3.

He threw a green poison at it.

My mana dropped by 40 points, and a black maggot appeared above my head.

-30, -30, -30...

This result was as expected.

Then, it instantly cast another red poison. Stimulated by the poison, the black maggots instantly locked their aggro on Lin Mu, turned around, and rolled towards Lin Mu at an even faster speed than before, like a black cannonball.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mu went into stealth mode.

The black maggot could no longer see Lin Mu and came to an instantaneous stop, with a braking distance of 0. Lin Mu thought to himself, "This braking system of the black maggot must be expensive. I wonder if it can stop instantly even when it's rolling at 200 miles per hour."

If we could get our hands on something that was used to make car tires in our past life, that would be incredibly awesome.

By this time, the skeleton had caught up. Lin Mu noticed that after some of the demonic energy merged into the skeleton, its movement speed had increased, and its pace was faster than before.

Chapter 103 The Hall of Blazing Flames

A flash of white light appeared behind the black maggot, unleashing an attacking sword technique.

-264.

Sure enough, the amplification effect of the red poison increased again, almost 50% higher than before. The black maggot turned around and stood still, unable to gain speed or exert any force, unable to break through the skeleton's defense at all.

The black maggot with 3200 HP was knocked to the side in no time, its intestines spilling out onto the ground.

[Experience gained: 400], nothing dropped.

However, Lin Mu tested it out and found that after Luck 3, the damage amplification effect of Red Poison became 1.5 times, which is equivalent to having Red Poison and every hit being a 2.5 times critical hit, which is a significant improvement.

He continued walking and encountered another annoying hornfly.

The creature huddled in the corner, its grayish-white body almost blending into the stone wall. Only its constantly opening and closing mouth revealed its location, as it was spitting out bats one by one.

Lin Mu cast a red poison spell, and the skeleton immediately launched a long-range Tomahawk cruise missile.

-212.

Meanwhile, the skeleton's throwing axe also applied green poison to the horned fly, -3, -3.

That's right, the skeleton's poison has evolved again. Lin Mu discovered that his skeleton's evolution frequency was frighteningly high. He could see subtle changes in almost every battle. He wondered how far it could grow.

The throwing axe is now much slower than the close-range figure-eight slash, but it has the advantage of a longer attack range and a higher hit rate. Moreover, the throwing axe can now also be used in offensive sword techniques.

With another swing of the skeletal hand, an axe enveloped in white light shot out, spinning rapidly in the air before striking the horned fly.

-291.

Only then did Lin Mu notice that the torch in the skeleton's hand also illuminated two wild boars, one red and one black, trotting towards them. He hadn't noticed these two monsters, whose colors were so well concealed, when he left, especially since the floor and walls here were all dark gray, making them even harder to distinguish.

As for the white wild boar, its white skin makes it easy to spot as a blurry shadow from afar.

It doesn't matter, let's kill the horn flies first.

After all, the bats spewed out by the hornflies here aren't the symbolic low-flying kind from the game; they actually fly, flapping their wings and buzzing around overhead, which is incredibly annoying.

Lin Mu directed the skeleton to chop away with its axe, and the horned flies' health dropped rapidly. In just a few hits, they withered up and stopped spitting out bats.

Then they fought the wild boars. In the face of the skeleton's figure-eight axe technique, both wild boars fell down in no time.

After killing the wild boar, the skeleton's throwing axe targeted the bats flying on the ceiling, killing them one by one, and the bats fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

They fought their way through, and even encountering a white boar with 100,000 HP wasn't a problem.

As long as Lin Mu uses poison or the skeletons are lured from a distance with throwing axes, and they are attacked one by one, the skeletons will be destroyed a few times, and Lin Mu can easily take them down by summoning them a few more times.

During this time, Lin Mu wanted the skeleton to teleport again, but the skeleton seemed unable to use that ability. Only the light spots in its mind were flashing, and Lin Mu couldn't understand what they meant even after pondering for a long time.

After fighting for a while, Lin Mu realized that there was really no one in the Blazing Flame Palace.

I don't know if it's because the monsters are too hard to fight, or because the white boars don't drop any good items, but he ended up having the whole place to himself.

He walked through the narrow passageway to the large rectangular hall and continued forward, hugging the wall.

Why is it pressed against the wall?

Because you're close to the wall, you don't need to focus on monsters on at least one side; you only need to keep your eyes on the front and the other side, which greatly improves your safety.

Gradually, they happily hunted more than a dozen wild boars and gained a lot of experience.

Lin Mu also tested the effects of Lucky Three. The duration of the poison increased from 4 minutes to 5 minutes, and the damage amplification effect of the red poison was also improved. Other than that, there were no other changes.

With the 490,000 experience bar already more than halfway full, leveling up here is really fast. At this rate, I can reach level 21 in another half day.

White boars don't drop anything particularly valuable; they just drop common equipment, gold coins, and a fair amount of potions. They also drop a few skill books that are generally useless.

Now that there are skeletons to fight monsters, the consumption has become much less. Lin Mu can even just wait while fighting small monsters, and he's too lazy to even apply poison.
