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

The skull shattered, transforming into silvery-white specks that surged towards him, covering his shoulder armor, breastplate, and arm armor. Layer upon layer of bone armor enveloped his body, the gaps between the joints fitting perfectly, shimmering with silver light.

The gate to the Demon Sealing Hall was not far ahead. It was exactly the same as the gate leading from the Corridor of Light to the Hall of Blazing Flames, and also the gate leading from the Corridor of the Netherworld to the Path of Crossroads.

The door frame is made of dark gray stone, and in the center of the lintel is a stark white skull relief. The eye sockets on the relief are dark and hollow, as if staring at everyone who approaches.

The door frame was covered with densely packed runes, the dark red patterns gleaming faintly in the firelight, as if something was flowing inside, or like blood slowly flowing in a vein.

Lin Mu felt uncomfortable every time he saw this door. He couldn't explain why, but he felt like the skeleton was watching him.

He vaguely recalled the terrain of the Demon Sealing Hall in the game. The Demon Sealing Hall consisted of two rectangles. Upon entering, there was a very small rectangle, too small to accommodate many people and monsters, with stone walls on all four sides.

After passing through a short passage, you'll enter a large rectangle, which is the true Demon Sealing Hall. The Rainbow Demon Lord is crouching deep within this rectangle.

Lin Mu took a deep breath and walked towards the stone gate.

The door swung open to both sides, barely revealing a crack, and Lin Mu stepped across the threshold. Then everything went black, and a familiar wave of dizziness washed over him.

From the Path of the Crossroads to the Hall of Demon Souls, from the Hall of Demon Souls to the Purgatory Corridor, from the Purgatory Corridor to the Hall of Sealed Demons, he passed through each one as smoothly as if he were walking in his own backyard.

Chapter 130 Combination and Breakthrough

Several successes proved the same fact: after merging, for some unknown reason, he could break through the seal and enter the map.

Perhaps it's because the skeleton absorbed the Woma Horn? Perhaps it's because the skeleton fused with demonic energy during the battle? Perhaps it's because it carries an aura that originates from the same source as the seal?

Lin Mu didn't have time to think. It was still dark before his eyes, but he could already hear the sounds of wings flapping and stone peels falling.

But Lin Mu was prepared, and with a thought...

"Ahead, 100 meters"

A flash of white light, and he disappeared from the doorway.

Before their feet even touched the ground, and before they could even hide, a dense flapping sound of wings reached their ears.

They are wedge moths, and there's more than one.

Before Lin Mu could even see his surroundings, his body reacted before his mind could process it. He rolled to the side, and a sticky substance grazed his shoulder armor, splattering onto the wall behind him and hissing as it rose into white smoke.

The second and third jets followed closely behind, spraying from different directions.

He dodged left and right, twisting his waist like a pretzel, and relying on his agility to avoid the bracelet, he narrowly avoided most of it. But a bit of sticky liquid still grazed his arm.

Lin Mu glanced around and his heart sank.

This isn't just one or two wedge moths, it's a whole swarm.

Seven or eight wedge moths hovered overhead, their transparent wings gleaming eerily in the dim green light. Their mouthparts opened and closed, and drops of mucus dripped down.

Just then, the sound of a bowstring twanged came from the darkness.

A stone arrow pierced the air and struck him in the chest.

Then, another one.

Then came the third, the fourth... arrows flew from different directions, clanging and clattering against the bone armor like raindrops hitting iron.

Most of them didn't break his defenses, and the numbers didn't fluctuate; they just made his chest feel tight, and he was too lazy to dodge or block.

Then another arrow flew by, looking exactly like the previous ones.

"Thud," was the sound of an arrow piercing flesh.

-29.

Lin Mu felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that the arrowhead was embedded in the bone crevice of his breastplate. It wasn't deep into the flesh, but blood had already seeped out.

Immediately afterwards, as if something had drained the arrow of its power, the arrow trembled slightly, turned into dim specks of light, and silently drifted away into the darkness.

He looked in the direction the arrows had come from and saw several blurry shadows in the darkness.

There were several Zuma archers, and judging from the damage they just dealt, there was one top-tier one as well.

Lin Mu felt a chill run down his spine. If it weren't for the bone armor he was wearing after merging, which greatly increased his defense, let alone a top-tier Zuma archer, even an ordinary Zuma archer would have taken him down with a single volley of fire.

Further away, the outlines of several stone statues could be vaguely seen in the darkness.

Five seconds have passed.

He didn't have time to think much; a thought flashed through his mind.

"Ahead, 100 meters."

A flash of white light, and he disappeared again.

This time, his luck wasn't good either.

Before my feet even touched the ground, I could see out of the corner of my eye that the surroundings were densely packed with stone statues.

Zuma guardians and Zuma statues stand side by side.

The moment Lin Mu's toes touched the ground, the stone statue closest to him reacted.

"Click...click".

Then, the sound of the stone cracking came from all directions, and the broken stones fell down with a clatter, like a gray rain.

This is a monster awakening, which has stirred up a whole host of monsters around it.

A low, guttural bleating of sheep erupted from the darkness, "Aww—" "Baa—", blending together and crashing back and forth in the empty hall, sending chills down one's spine.

But Lin Mu didn't panic. He used invisibility. His semi-transparent figure froze in the middle of the Zuma monsters, completely still.

The Zuma monsters emerged from the stone skin, their dark red eyes darting around in their sockets as they looked around.

It seemed to be wondering how it had woken up when there was nothing around.

Five seconds have passed.

With a thought, Lin Mu vanished from the pile of stone statues in a flash of white light.

After flashing a few more times, the white light finally dissipated, and his feet landed in a corner.

The corner was surrounded by walls on both sides, and three horn flies were squatting nearby. Unfortunately, the three horn flies were scattered and did not surround the corner.

The ceiling and walls were covered in a dense mass of bats, their flapping wings creating a cacophony of sounds.

Lin Mu leaned against the wall, his back against the cold stone, and glanced around.

The corner was fairly clean. Apart from the three hornflies and the sky full of bats, there were no wedge moths, no Zuma statues, and no other messy things.

The point of light in my mind was pulsating violently, flashing on and off at an astonishing speed.

Every flicker of the light point points into the darkness.

It seems the Rainbow Demon Cult Leader is lurking in the darkness not far away.

Lin Mu took a deep breath and gripped the Wuji Staff tightly.

We need to clean up this corner first.

He looked up at the sky full of bats, a dark mass, at least fifty or sixty of them, flapping their wings and chirping on the ceiling.

But Lin Mu was not intimidated at all.

He noticed while clearing monsters in the Purgatory Corridor that the skeletons had improved again.

The area-of-effect electric current that the skeleton slashes out has a very high trigger probability.

He remembered in the Purgatory Corridor, when the skeleton casually swung its axe a few times, and blue light would dart around among the monsters, jumping numbers in patches.

Although each electric current only deals a maximum of 10 damage, it's like a tickle to the Zuma monster.

But bats are different.

Bats have low health, only 50 points.

Lin Mu closed his eyes, and with a thought, he deliberately dispelled the fusion.

The white bone armor transformed into silvery-white light spots that peeled off his body and reformed into the tall skeleton beside him.

As soon as the skeleton appeared, the horned flies started spitting out bats again, one every 3 seconds, and the sky full of bats swarmed towards the skeleton.

Without hesitation, the skeleton slashed down at the approaching bat.

The first axe blow, its blade gleaming white, struck a bat.

-88.

The bat fell to the ground.

Then, with a "crack," a thin arc of blue electricity exploded from the axe blade, spreading in all directions. The arc darted back and forth among the bats.

-10, -6, -8...

A red number floated up from the swarm of bats. After a few swings of the axe, in addition to the bats that were directly chopped down, five or six other bats around them also froze, falling to the ground with thuds and remaining motionless.

The skeleton swung its axe again and again, blue light flashing in the darkness, and bats fell down in droves.

The experience tips in Lin Mu's mind kept popping up.

Experience gained: 2

Experience gained: 2

……

If this message were in a game, it would take up the entire screen.

Before long, the three horned flies could no longer produce bats as fast as the skeletons could clear them.

In no time, the ceiling and walls were clean.

Only three hornflies remained, squatting alone in the corner, still struggling to spit out bats.

Lin Mu leaned against the wall, looking at the skeletons clearing the battlefield, and felt a little regretful.

Perhaps it's due to my profession; it's not a good match. After merging, I can't seem to use my offensive sword techniques and area-of-effect electric attacks. If I had those two skills, I'd love to try out the thrill of group monster hunting without having to go through the hassle of dissolving the fusion.

Chapter 131 The Rainbow Demon Cult Leader (Part 1)

Before long, all three hornflies were killed.

Lin Mu ordered the skeleton to continue leading the charge along the wall, advancing in the direction detected by the skeleton radar.
