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

The moth was struck and swayed precariously, its body twisting and turning wildly in the air. Its mouthparts opened and closed repeatedly, but the mucus it was about to condense was scattered by the next axe blow, making it impossible to spit it out.

Lin Mu's eyes lit up. "Strike while the iron is hot. Let you bully me." He put on the Yun 2 lantern necklace, took out yellow powder, and sprinkled a red poison on the target.

A red glow emanated from the wedge moth, and the skeleton's axe followed closely behind, striking down upon it.

-247, -208, -231...

The amplification effect of the red poison was immediate, more than doubling the damage. The Wedge Moth's health bar visibly dropped, and after only a few hits, it slumped to the side and fell motionless to the ground.

Before Lin Mu could catch his breath, four or five more wedge moths fluttered out of the darkness and surrounded the skeleton from different directions.

At the same time, the clanging sound of bowstrings came from afar.

Several Zuma archers sensed the skeleton exposed in the darkness, and stone arrows flew through the air one after another, embedding themselves in the skeleton's skeleton frame.

The clanging and banging sounded like raindrops hitting a sheet of metal.

Fortunately, the archers were all ordinary, with low attack power, and couldn't break through the skeleton's defenses. The skeleton's health bar barely moved, but the sound of arrows hitting it was annoying.

Lin Mu felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to the dense volley of arrows. It wasn't that he was afraid the skeletons couldn't withstand the attack, but rather that the Zuma archers weren't skilled enough and might miss their shots, ending up hitting him instead.

His health and defense are low right now, so he can't hold out.

Lin Mu raised his hand and a protective talisman flew to the skull's forehead. With a "bang," it exploded into a cloud of white mist, and the skull's figure instantly became semi-transparent.

After becoming invisible, the Zuma archers in the distance could no longer see the skeleton.

The sound of the bowstring abruptly stopped.

The skeletons showed no respect whatsoever to the Zuma archers who were trying so hard to impress them, not even glancing at them.

The flames in his eyes were fixed on the wedge moths in front of him, and he kept swinging the axe without stopping.

It's not like before, killing one before attacking another.

Instead, it distributes benefits evenly.

Each wedge moth was chopped once, then the next one, and so on. After a few swings, four or five wedge moths were covered in green poison, jumping around with a series of "-3, -3" sounds, their wings flapping slower and slower, their bodies becoming increasingly lopsided.

Lin Mu leaned against the wall, watching the skeleton's actions, and thought to himself: This skeleton is quite considerate.

Chapter 123 Down with that patch of straw

It's trying to draw all the hatred of the wedge moths away, preventing them from attacking Lin Mu.

Lin Mu wisely waited patiently without applying the poison.

But one of the wedge moths closest to Lin Mu seemed particularly unhappy.

It was chopped down by the skeleton's axe. While the skeleton was chopping down other wedge moths, it turned its body, opened its mouthparts, and sprayed a stream of sticky liquid towards Lin Mu.

Lin Mu didn't move his feet, but twisted his body, and the sticky liquid flew past his clothes, stuck to the wall, and hissed and emitted white smoke.

He glared at the wedge moth.

The wedge moth wasn't intimidated at all. After being chopped by the skeleton's axe, it tilted its body again and spat out another mouthful of slime at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu dodged again.

The third bite, the fourth bite... It seemed like that wedge moth was determined to get back at Lin Mu, spitting at him every time it was hit.

Lin Mu dodged left and right by the wall, his waist almost breaking from the effort.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly: You think I'm easy to bully, huh?

Just as they were cursing, something happened to the skeleton.

Several wedge moths continuously sprayed sticky mucus, which smeared onto the skeleton. This slowed the skeleton's movements, and the joints between its bones seemed to rust, making a clicking sound.

Instantly, grayish-white stone skin spread from the skeleton's arms to its shoulders, then from its shoulders to its sternum, and finally from its sternum to its entire body.

The skeleton, holding an axe aloft, was frozen in place, motionless, petrified, and turned into a stone sculpture.

Furthermore, after being petrified, the invisibility spell was broken.

In this way, the skeleton's figure was completely exposed in the darkness.

Several Zuma archers in the distance also sensed it at the same instant.

“Zheng”, “Zheng”, “Zheng”...

One after another, stone arrows pierced the air and struck the skeleton that had just begun to petrify with pinpoint accuracy.

The clanging and banging filled the air.

The wedge moth, which was annoyed by Lin Mu, became even more energetic without the skeleton's interference.

It hovered between the skeleton and Lin Mu, its mouthparts opening and closing, pointing in Lin Mu's direction, dripping mucus as if taunting: You think you can hide? Keep hiding.

Lin Mu leaned against the wall, watching the petrified skeleton, the stone arrows flying in from the darkness, and the smug wedge moth. Then he looked at the other wedge moths, which were now obediently attacking the skeleton.

Thinking, "You think you're so great? You really think I have no temper?"

Lin Mu took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled a handful of yellow powder over there.

A red glow emanated from the wedge moth's body. Just as it opened its mouthparts, before it could even spit anything out, a Soul Fire Talisman was already smeared onto its face.

"Snapped"

-68.

The moth tilted its body, and the sticky secretion exploded in its throat, smearing its face with it.

Before it could stabilize, Lin Mu picked up the Wuji Staff and drew an "8" horizontally in front of him with the staff, performing the "8" slash, one strike after another, creating a whooshing sound.

-21, -25, -13...

The damage isn't high, but the stick is fast.

Lin Mu felt as if his childhood memories had returned, back when the adults had already finished harvesting the autumn crops. Only the withered corn stalks remained in the fields. He and his friends would wave sticks, drawing a figure eight in front of them, knocking down the stalks one by one.

The first blow struck the top of the straw, breaking it and causing the moth's head to tilt to the side. The second blow followed immediately, then the third and fourth.

The withered corn stalk was beaten and bent over, trying to fall completely to the ground. The wedge moth's wings fluttered, trying to take flight steadily, but Lin Mu's stick wouldn't allow it.

The moth's mouthparts opened and closed repeatedly, with mucus seeping out intermittently but unable to be sprayed out at all.

After being hit a few more times, the straw could no longer withstand the torment and finally collapsed to the ground. The wedge moth's wings stiffened, and it fell from the air, motionless.

Lin Mu put away the Wuji Staff, clapped his hands, and glanced at the corpse of the Wedge Moth on the ground.

"No matter how arrogant you are, you'll still become weak and powerless under my stick, just like a corn stalk."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp "crack" sound came from the skeleton behind him.

The stone slab shattered and fell to the ground with a crash.

Lin Mu raised his hand and cast a collective invisibility spell, causing the skeleton's figure to become semi-transparent again.

The Zuma archers in the distance lost their target, and the sound of bowstrings fell silent once again.

The skeleton, carrying an axe, continued its attack on the remaining wedge moths.

In no time, all the moths were killed.

But the skeleton didn't stop. It turned around, locked onto the Zuma archer in the distance, and swung its axe with a backhand. The axe blade gleamed white and disappeared into the darkness. A moment later, a short "Ah!" came from afar. It was the archer's cry of being wounded.

However, the demonic energy blocked the view, so it was impossible to see how much health the Zuma archer had lost.

But the skeleton didn't care about any of that. One axe, two axes, three axes, each one landing precisely on the unseen target in the darkness.

The Zuma archer has 8000 HP and 10-20 defense. The skeleton's attack is 25-102, plus 3 points of poison damage every 3 seconds. It takes at least a hundred axe blows to kill a Zuma archer.

The archer cried out "Ah! Ah!" as he was hacked at, but he just wouldn't die. The bowstring twanged intermittently, and occasionally an arrow would fly back, piercing the skeleton's bone armor with a "whoosh".

-1, miss...

After hundreds of axe blows, a "Ugh..." finally came from afar, followed by a thud, like the sound of a corpse falling to the ground.

Experience gained: 850

The skeleton then locked onto the next archer and flew over with its axe, unleashing hundreds of blows until the second archer fell.

The third, the fourth... the skeletons were tireless, hacking away with their axes, and cries of "Ah! Ah!" echoed in the darkness, as if someone was playing some embarrassing game in the dark.

Lin Mu leaned against the wall, concealed, idly counting the axes. He didn't know how much time had passed before the archers in the distance finally fell silent.

The skeleton put away its axe and stopped flying. The flames in its eye sockets stared straight into the darkness, motionless.

Lin Mu knew that all the Zuma archers around him had been killed.

But he was still uneasy, so with a thought, he made the skeleton take a step out of hiding and reveal itself.

But no bowstring twanged, and no arrow flew; only the crackling of burning torches filled the darkness.

Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. With no more annoying archers shooting arrows from afar, he could concentrate on dealing with the stone statue in front of him.

He switched back to the Luck 3 set, and his Taoist skills dropped back to 6-38.

With another thought, the skeleton took a step forward and bravely walked towards the Zuma Guardian and Zuma Statue in front of it.

The moment the skeleton's foot stepped into the statue's sensor range, the statue began to move.

First came the sound of "crack...crack," the stone skin cracked, and rubble fell off the Zuma Guardian's body, revealing a gray-black body.

Immediately afterwards, a low, hoarse bleat of a sheep exploded from the stone.

"Ow..."

The voice was deep and resonant, with a trembling chest, echoing back and forth in the empty passageway.

Chapter 124 Luring the Monster

At the same time, the Zuma statue next to it also came to life, its stone joints creaking and grinding, followed by an even sharper bleating of a sheep.

"What..."

The cry was a few degrees sharper than the guards', echoing through the passage like an ancient seal being torn open.

Then came a continuous sound of falling stone chips coming from all directions, a whooshing, whooshing sound, like a rain of stones, making one's scalp tingle.
