Chapter 7: The Filthy Skull of Novice Village No. 91

  "It's a Skull Boss!"

  "Xiao Fa was killed by Skull Boss in one hit!"

  "Come quickly!"

  "Surround it and don't let it get away!"

  "Warriors, go up! Mages and archers, retreat! Rogues, look for an opportunity to strike once and then retreat immediately! Dammit, I don't know what this boss's attributes are, let's stabilize the fight!" The Battle God Crazy Blade was continuously directing from behind.

  A chaotic scene, Ling Mu controlled the corpse skull and took advantage of the opportunity to kill an archer who reacted a beat slower. The experience bar rose again, and Ling Mu, in high spirits, climbed down from the tree ready to muddy the waters.

  "Vice Temple Master! The boss's health bar has appeared! 2000 blood, both attack and defense are very high!" A warrior who had exchanged a blow with the undead skeleton reported back.

  "2000 blood? Isn't that a bit too weak......" War God Crazy Blade furrowed his brow, unable to see the monster's quality without scouting skills. Although he felt that the boss shouldn't be so weak, there was no way to confirm it, and they could only grit their teeth and fight on. Moreover, for a group of 4-5 level players with new equipment, killing a level 7 monster was almost as difficult as taking down a boss. War God Crazy Blade was somewhat puzzled, but seeing the meager damage numbers dealt to the boss and the massive damage it inflicted with each attack, he could only treat it as a low-level boss.

  "Shit! This damn boss doesn't take revenge lightly!" A thief who had just approached and got hit by a paw retreated behind the warrior, muttering in frustration.

  There's no grudge value to speak of when a corpse skull is controlled by Lingmu, it's simply whoever has thin skin gets scratched, and that thief still dares to come over without getting scratched.

  Unfortunately, the undead skeleton lost its skills after becoming a corpse, otherwise it would be even more terrifying. Now although the damage is high, but there are many people on the other side, each person can take a few hits and walk away, and the corpse skeleton is stuck in the middle of Lingmu, unable to control it to chase and kill. Moreover, most warriors with full points have over 200-300 health points, and some even have 400-500, so they can't be killed with just one or two hits.

  The thief who was just hit is still alive, but only has a sliver of health left. He's hiding outside the battlefield and doesn't dare to come back in, but he's not too far from where Lingmu is hiding. Lingmu estimates that he should have less than 30 points of health left, so he sneaks out and swings his staff.

  “-35！”

  With a loud "boom", the dark fireball exploded, and the thief lay on the ground with an innocent expression.

  "You killed player War God KongKong, gained 50 experience points!"

  "Congratulations on advancing to level 2! You have obtained 5 free attribute points that can be allocated!"

  With a flash, Ling Mu's upgrade was gorgeous!

  "Whoa! There's another Skull Boss over there! And it's already killed Kuu!" The suddenly appearing Ling Mu was definitely noticed, and an archer who saw him shouted, running away to a position even farther from Ling Mu.

  "Take two people to hold it!" War God Crazy Knife shouted, looking at the skull boss in front of him with half blood left, and he also took out a large knife emitting white light and rushed up.

  Only a fool would let you guys drag him down, Ling Mu took the head and turned around to run without stopping, leaving the two warriors who were about to come over to pull the monster staring at each other in confusion.

  He ran for less than two steps and Ling Mu circled back, he had just controlled the corpse skull to scratch another daring thief again, but didn't kill him, however it also became an empty shell, he couldn't let go of this opportunity, so he circled around to the back of that thief.

  Bang! -41!

  The thief fell elegantly, with a slightly tearful expression. He was really lying down and getting shot, just touched the boss's side and hadn't taken action yet, but got hit once, instantly empty blood scared himself to hurry up and run out, his butt hadn't sat down yet when he was touched by another boss.

  "It was... " Ling Mu was discovered by the archer again, and both times it happened next to him. Just as he was about to shout a warning, he saw the skull turn its head and run away without a trace, his mouth opening but no sound coming out.

  Ling Mu has really run away this time, he can't not run, the corpse skull is already low on blood, with only 2000 points of life value, it's not enough in a siege by over ten people.

  "Bang!" The rotting skull fell to the ground.

  "Leave one for me to pick up, the rest are yours and I'll take another!" The God of War's Crazy Blade quickly instructed and turned around, holding his knife and continuing to charge forward.

  "Deputy hall master, another skull boss has run away......" One of the warriors who had just been arranged to hold off Ling Mu said gloomily.

  "Escaped? Didn't I tell you to hold him back?" War God Crazy Blade roared in anger, as if it wasn't obvious that this boss would run!

  Two warriors exchanged a glance, humiliated and didn't dare speak up. We were thinking of dragging it out, you let him wait for us to get closer...

  "That boss is back again..." The archer whispered.

  "Are you back? Where have you been?" War God Kuangdao hastily asked.

  "With just one appearance, he killed the little knife and took his head, then ran away instantly, I didn't even have time to shout..." The archer said with embarrassment, while the War God Crazy Knife was stunned."

  "This skull..."

  "Damn it!"

  "Deputy hall master, that boss we just killed didn't drop anything! And I just noticed, it didn't even give us any experience!"

  The God of War's Crazy Blade has turned black!

  Ling Mu's mood was great after leveling up, and with the corpse skull's explosion killing a bloodthirsty warrior who refused to leave before it died, Ling Mu's experience bar for level two had already increased by a small margin. Although he wasn't worried about them catching up, Ling Mu still chose to run in areas with more monsters, anyway these monsters wouldn't attack him, and going out with a red name like a monster would only get him chased and killed by other players, so he simply didn't go out and instead headed deep into the forest.

  “-23！”

  Still putting all attribute points into intelligence, Lingmu suddenly lost a bit of blood and the system prompted that he was attacked by a monster, Lingmu was stunned.

  “-29！”

  Ling Mu was hit again and his health bar almost emptied before he came to, hastily turning around to run while looking back at what was hitting him.

  Polka Dot Juvenile Snake: Polluted ordinary juvenile snake, attacks with venom

  Quality: Ordinary

  Level: 3

  Health: 200/200

  Attack: 25-35

  Physical Defense: 1-2

  Toxic Bite: Deals poison damage to target, causing 5 damage per second for a duration.

  There is no magic defense power, which means this young snake has no law resistance, but that's not what Ling Mu is concerned about. What he cares about is the name on the snake's head, which is actually a hostile red color!

  Got it! I originally thought that there wouldn't be any monsters attacking me, so I relaxed my vigilance around me. Who would have thought that now I almost got knocked down by a small snake? Although I have the Underworld Body to revive myself, Ling Mu is still very unhappy. Just before passing through a large area of high-level zombies without getting hurt, and now almost being knocked down by this little snake, what's going on!

  The spotted young snake ran slower than Lingmu and was knocked down by several dark fireballs. Due to Lingmu's skeletal body, the venom of the spotted young snake also had no effect on him, and he easily took care of it.

  "You successfully killed the spotted young snake and gained 5 experience points!"

  The system prompt made Lin Mu fall into deep thought. Similarly, the striped snake was a monster and not an ally, killing it would normally yield experience points and a copper coin dropped to the ground. It seemed that his special profession's friendly identification should be based on race, as the zombies he had just killed belonged to the undead race, and he and the skull were of the same race, the spirit race, which was similar to the undead race.

  Picked up the copper plate, and after carefully flipping it over, he confirmed that nothing else had dropped. Looking at the experience bar, Ling Mu let out a disappointed sigh - only 5 points of experience had been gained!

  Just fought with the group of people at the Temple of War, I killed a level 4 thief and a level 3 thief, earning 40 points and 30 points of experience respectively. The undead skeleton killed a level 4 mage for 40 points of experience, a level 5 archer and a level 5 warrior were both worth 50 points of experience. Compared to killing the spotted snake, this is like flying fast after taking medicine!

  Two empty eye sockets on a skull shone with two clusters of dark fire, and suddenly turned around and walked back.

  On the way back, Lingmu found that there was actually a player killing zombies to level up in that zombie area, hiding in a distant Nether Eye and throwing it over.

  Player Name: Qing Feng

  Race: Human

  Occupation: Thief

  Rank: 7

  Health: 160/160

  Physical Attack: 78-122

  Physical Defense: 12-23

  Magic Defense: 5-9

  Master! Watching Qingfeng's swift and effortless movements as he dodged the zombie's attacks with ease, his blue-glowing dagger swiftly and mercilessly stabbed into the zombie's body, each strike dealing massive damage. In less than ten seconds, the zombie was defeated. Lingmu couldn't help but secretly admire him. Although Lingmu had some skills and awareness, he couldn't possibly match Qingfeng's level of expertise. It was only natural - how much could a half-crippled player with zero physical strength possibly achieve? However, Lingmu also possessed something that others didn't: exceptional insight. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach the max level in "Chuan Shi" and become one of the top players.

  After comparing the strength gap between the two sides, Lingmu wisely chose to take a detour.

  Circling around Qingfeng's back, Lingmu found that there were still several zombie corpses that hadn't refreshed. He was overjoyed and hurriedly summoned them one by one. After searching around, he only found three, which left him somewhat disappointed. Now that piece of land definitely had many more corpses, but unfortunately, Qingfeng was still there grinding for experience, so there was no way to get them.

  Then, Ling Mu began his leveling career with three skulls. Zombies are a higher level of monster than rotting corpses. The zombie's skull is 1000 points higher in blood and 80 points higher in attack than the rotting corpse's skull. After becoming an undead skull, the original slow movement disadvantage disappeared, although skills were lost, it was still a powerful helper.

  So new players who leveled up outside the village were affected...
