Although this luck was almost gone, the duration of the poison also dropped from 5 minutes to 3 minutes.

However, the Taoist skill level increased from 35 to 47, which means that the poison damage per three seconds increased by 12 points, and the mana cost of one poison spell also decreased from 40 to 20 points, making it more mana-efficient.

Lin Mu quickly did the math in his head: the poison damage was 47 points every three seconds, and it could kill the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guardian with 940 points of health per minute, which would amount to 56400 points of health per hour.

The evil serpent has 300,000 HP. No matter how powerful the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard is, if it keeps poisoning, it will definitely die in a day and a night.

In this way, Lin Mu replenished the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard with green poison every three minutes. After replenishing the poison, he would take a step to break his invisibility and become invisible again, thus removing the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard's lock on him.

When the skeleton's invisibility time ended, Lin Mu cast another group invisibility spell on it.

Lin Mu didn't know how long he had been crouching in this corner shrouded in magical mist. He only knew that he kept scattering the powder in his hand, and when the blue bar was low, he would drink a bottle of magic potion. After drinking it, he would wait and continue scattering the powder.

He mechanically repeated this process, and had long since lost his sense of time.

The irritated hissing of the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard changed from high-pitched to low, from low to hoarse, and finally only a faint breath remained.

Finally, it had only a sliver of health left.

Just then, the light spot representing the skull in my mind suddenly began to flash violently, one after another, at an astonishing frequency.

After working together for so long, Lin Mu had figured out what it meant: the skeleton was going to deliver the final blow.

He immediately took out a yellow powder and sprinkled a red poison over it, instantly turning the originally green Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard red.

The skeleton watched as another -47 appeared above the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard's head, and then it swung its axe.

The flying axe blade gleamed with a blinding white light, whistling through the air as it struck the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard squarely on the head.

-67.

The Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard let out a long-absent, high-pitched, shrill scream that echoed through the empty passage. Then, its two giant pincers drooped limply, and its massive upper body slammed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Chapter 113 The Demon Blood Ring

Experience gained: 150000

Lin Mu ultimately couldn't calculate how much time had passed, nor could he determine how much health the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard had.

But this time, he finally saw it clearly. The moment the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard fell, in addition to the golden items scattered all over the ground, a dense demonic aura rose from the corpse, and the black and purple mist rolled and surged toward the skeleton, engulfing its entire frame.

A moment later, the mist dissipated, and Lin Mu was stunned. The two protrusions on the top of the skull had grown longer, like two small horns. The scales covering its body were also thicker, each one gleaming with a dark, cold light, as if plated with iron.

He quickly checked the skeleton's attributes.

Mutant Skeleton

HP: 3800/3800

Attack: 25-102

[Defense: 30-35]

[Magic Control: 30-35]

[Health Regeneration: 2 points per second]

[Skill: Offensive Sword Technique Lv.3]

My health has increased by 300 points, and my attack and defense have also increased. My offensive sword technique has been trained to level three.

Lin Mu was secretly pleased. He glanced at the skeleton and used his mind to signal it to clear out the small monsters that were still wandering around. The skeleton picked up its axe and rushed into the monster pile. The axe flew up and down, and white light flashed one after another.

He then stealthily went over to collect equipment, and after picking up a few potions and a bunch of gold coins, he discovered that the wild boars could no longer damage the skeletons. No matter how hard he hit them with his spiked club or sprayed them with the venom of the wedge moth, the skeletons wouldn't lose any health.

Even more surprisingly, the skeletons' attacks occasionally carried an electric current.

With each swing of the axe, in addition to dealing high damage to the black maggots that were directly hit, tiny blue arcs of electricity exploded from the axe blade, spreading outwards and affecting the monsters nearby.

The electric arcs crackled and sputtered as they darted about among the monsters, looking like a weakened version of hellfire lightning.

Although the damage is only 10% of the direct attack, it looks really intimidating. A flash of blue light appears in the dark mass of monsters, and a bunch of small numbers like -9 and -8 float up.

Lin Mu was overjoyed. What Taoists lack most is group attack methods; they can only grind monsters one by one, and they are helpless when they encounter a group of monsters.

That's good now. With the splash damage from the electric current, although the trigger probability seems to be only 20%, the electric current can't poison you.

But the skeleton is still growing. Maybe one day the electric current will be able to poison, and maybe one day the trigger probability will increase to fifty percent or one hundred percent.

Lin Mu became more and more pleased with himself, and without stopping his work, he bent down and stuffed the spoils on the ground into his Qiankun bag one by one.

The first item was a glove, dark brown-gold in color, with a matte metallic finish and a rough, dull surface that had been through many battles.

[Yama's Gloves, Defense 0-6, Attack 0-1, Requires Level 30]

It has 2 more points of defense and 1 more point of attack, so it's a top-tier item. Not bad, I'll keep it for now.

There were two bottles of blessing oil next to it; I picked them up and put them into my Qiankun bag.

Then there was a long, slender staff.

Its entire body is a pale golden-white, as smooth and lustrous as jade, with natural bone patterns visible on the staff. The top is enlarged into the shape of a dragon's skull, with a small iron ring at the bottom and a dark red tassel at the end. The overall design is both luxurious and eerie, clearly not an ordinary item.

[Bone Jade Scepter, Attack 6-12, Magic 2-9, Requires Level 35]

Lin Mu held the staff, outwardly calm but inwardly ecstatic. This was a Zuma divine weapon, with an additional 3 points of magic—a truly top-tier item.

Although it belongs to a mage, such a top-tier item could be traded for a decent set of equipment in any guild. It's just a pity it's not the Dragon Pattern Sword; I'll keep it for now.

Next item

A plain, pale yellow ring with a piece of yellowish talisman hanging from its side; simple and unadorned.

[Mind Bracelet, Taoist Skills 1-4, requires Taoist Skill 24]

Excellent! It adds 2 points to his Taoist skills. His Taoist skills are very high, so wearing this is no problem for him. He put it on immediately, and his Taoist skills increased by 1-1, bringing his total to 7-48.

The moment the bracelet was fastened to my wrist, a slight coolness spread along my wrist bone, making me feel comfortable all over.

Next came two small, round, frosted glass bottles. The bottles were transparent, filled with a thick, pale pinkish-red liquid, about nine-tenths full. The mouths were sealed with corks, reinforced with a thin hemp rope. They exuded a rustic, warm medicinal fragrance.

There are two bottles of healing medicine.

[Healing Potion: Instantly restores 200 health and 300 mana.]

This is a life-saving medicine; put it away.

A grayish-yellow skill book.

Magic Shield.

Put it away too.

The next item is a ring.

The ring features a silver-white metal setting with a bright red blood crystal embedded in its face. Its dark yet eerie luster is unsettling, and staring at it for too long can give off a strange sense of unease.

[Demonic Blood Ring, Attack 1-3, Taoist Magic 1-0, Requires Level 35. Single piece: +25 Maximum Health, Reduces some Mana. Demonic Blood Set (Necklace + Bracelet + Ring): Additional +50 Health, Total +125.]

Lin Mu took a deep breath and put it into his Qiankun bag.

In the game, this thing isn't popular; it adds health but has extremely low main attributes, so not many people are willing to use it. But in this world, 25 points of health might save your life sometime.

There were also a lot of potions and gold coins on the ground. Large healing potions, large magic potions, potent sun water, and gold coins were piled up everywhere, shimmering with various colors in the firelight.

Lin Mu squatted on the ground and frantically picked up the items for a while before finally putting everything he could see into his Qiankun bag.

It can be said that Lin Mu is quite wealthy now. In addition to various equipment, he also has 438 bottles of Sun Water, 96 bottles of High-Efficiency Sun Water, 24 sticks of Eternal Snow Frost, 3 bottles of Healing Medicine, and 2 bottles of Blessing Oil.

The funds consist of 1604 gold coins, 87 silver coins, and 19 copper coins.

It has to be said that, just like in the game, Fengmo is a great place to level up and make money.

At this moment, Lin Mu turned his gaze to the skeleton that was still fighting with the monsters.

He clapped his hands, stood up, took out some medicine powder, and began to help the skeletons clean up the battlefield.

Red poison and green poison took turns attacking, and before long, only corpses and lingering demonic energy remained in the passage, along with a small door that appeared not far ahead.

The skeleton stood at the doorway, the flames in its eye sockets staring intently at the crack in the door. The light flickered fiercely, but it just hovered at the doorway, unable to step inside.
