Chapter Twenty-Five: Snake Lettergrass

  As he slowly made his way through the ruins, he came across a ghost wandering beside the ruins. This ghost was different from the ordinary ghosts, its entire body was pitch black in color, with a pair of red chaotic eyes filled with frenzy.

  This ghost should be more troublesome than those outside ghosts. Should we go and get rid of it? Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment.

  "It's probably not possible to win." Xiao Yu thought, having come this far, it would be a pity if he were to die now. Xiao Yu prepared to bypass the ghostly creature, but just as he was about to leave, he noticed that beside the ruins where the ghostly creature stood, there was a small red grass growing quietly, its leaves swaying gently in the wind like a snake's tongue.

  "Snake Fidelity Grass!" Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat. According to the description of the bandit master Ode, this small grass should be Snake Fidelity Grass.

  Xiao Yu discerned some clues, that ghostly creature is the guardian of this Snake Letter Grass! If you want to collect this Snake Letter Grass, you must first get rid of that ghostly creature.

  Xiao Yu had no other choice but to decide on a life-and-death struggle with this ghostly creature.

  Xiao Yu observed the surroundings for a while, making sure there were no other ghostly creatures nearby. He found a suitable location and rotated the dagger in his right hand by an arc, steadily landing it in his palm.

  Sneak!

  Xiao Yu entered a state of stealth and slowly crept up behind the ghostly creature's back.

  That ghostly creature had been lurking around the snake grass all along, suddenly turned its head, with red eyes rotating and scanning the surroundings.

  Seeing the ghostly creature looking this way, Xiao Yu hastily stopped in his tracks, feeling the ghostly creature's gaze sweep over him. He felt as if his body had been pierced by that gaze.

  The ghostly creature glanced around for a moment, didn't find anything, and then turned its head back, continuing to wander.

  Seeing the ghostly creature let its guard down, Xiao Yu slowly approached the ghostly creature.

  The distance was getting closer and closer, Xiao Yu's right hand dagger flashed with a cold light, swift as lightning, striking towards that ghostly monster.

  Ambush!

  Xiao Yu's dagger was ready to strike the ghost monster's occipital bone, and the ghost monster fell into a daze.

  Lost Soul: Level 10, Special Monster.

  The strength of a special monster is between ordinary monsters and leader monsters, and its strength is slightly stronger than that of an ordinary monster.

  Took a look at the blood volume of the lost soul, totaling 1200.

  "Blood is too thick!" Xiao Yu didn't dare to pause, the dagger in his right hand ripped open the soul's back with a single slash, and the daggers in both hands instantly burst out with maximum damage output.

  Due to the significant increase in skill-based damage values, and switching to two daggers, Xiao Yu's self-attack damage increased greatly. A single normal attack can cause over 30 points of damage, and an 89% completion rate of Bone Peeling dealt 118 attack damage.

  Backstab! Reverse backstab!

  Xiao's agile movements dealt a series of attacks against the ghostly creature.

  This ghost's eyes are extremely eye-catching and must be its weak point!

  Xiao Yu's right hand adjusted the dagger at an angle and stabbed towards the ghost monster's eyes, swift as a startled swan.

  The ghost monster also rushed over and pounced on Xiao Yu.

  Xiao Yu let out a muffled grunt, withstanding the ghost's attack. He took a look at his own HP and saw that he still had 32% left. The damage was incredibly high! One hit had taken away nearly half of his health.

  Xiao Yu had no time to be surprised, the dagger in his right hand stabbed into the ghost's eye, his agile wrist rotated, let out a loud roar, concentrated all his strength and slashed downwards fiercely.

  Get to the point!

  System: Bone Plucking skill completion 100%, dealing 100% skill damage, causing a 3.5-second paralysis effect.

  After the Bone Plucking skill level is increased by one level, the paralysis time effect is also extended by 0.5 seconds.

  Taking advantage of the paralysis, Xiao Yu quickly moved to the back of the ghostly creature and launched a series of swift horizontal slashes with his left hand. As he spun around, he landed a critical hit on the creature's back, achieving 92% skill completion.

  The ghost let out a mournful wail as its body was injured.

  No good! It should be summoning a companion! Xiao Yu's heart tightened.

  Backhand stab!

  Xiao Yu's reverse backhand skill was used again, with a 100% completion rate. A damage value of over 600 appeared above the ghost monster's head, leaving Xiao Yu stunned.

  It exploded!

  This extremely high damage will instantly kill the ghost monster.

  This level 10 ghostly creature had a lot of experience, causing Xiao Yu's experience bar to rise by as much as 5%.

  Ding dong, after such a long time, Xiao Yu finally heard the upgrade prompt sound again. He took a look at his attribute panel and saw that his level had increased to 7. Without hesitation, he added all five attribute points to agility.

  Xiao Yu picked up the equipment that had fallen from the ghostly explosion on the ground, which seemed to be a ring, and quickly hid it in the nearby ruins.

  After about five seconds, several ghostly figures rushed over from a distance. They searched around and only found a corpse lying on the ground, but did not find any intruders, so they left one after another.

  As the ghosts disappeared into the distance, Xiao Yu let out a breath and walked out of the ruins where he had been hiding. He went to the side of the snake fang grass, squatted down and began to harvest it using the method taught by his thieving master, Ode.

  After collecting the snake fennel, Xiao Yu carefully put it into a medicine bottle and sealed it tightly before putting it in his backpack.

  The equipment obtained from the soul of the lost one just killed was taken out, it was a ring.

  Ring of Prayer: Quality, Green. Damage +5, Agility +3.

  Xiao Yu's luck wasn't bad, and he got another green suit. The attributes were okay, so Xiao Yu put on the ring. Now he had three pieces of green equipment on him.

  Xiao Yu encountered another difficulty. Although he had just killed a ghostly monster, there was also an element of luck involved. The ghostly monster's attack was too strong and it had taken out 68% of his health with just one hit. If he were to be hit by it again, he would have been done for. Should he continue with the task?

  Xiao Yu weighed it in his mind, he had just leveled up and obtained a green equipment, his strength was somewhat enhanced compared to before, he should be able to withstand the ghost monster's two attacks now, the damage also increased, plus knowing that the ghost monster's eyes were its weakness, he should be able to complete the next task.

  Since it has already started, Xiao Yu does not want to give up. Encountering a little difficulty and giving up is not Xiao Yu's style. Xiao Yu decides to continue on.
