Chapter 70: The Cursed Messenger
The dagger shattered the glass on the window, splashing sharp shards in the sky.
A grumpy wail rang out, staining the thin man's dagger with dark green blood.
A thin voice suddenly appeared in the void, wafting a messy aura and rushing directly towards us.
"The thin man is not bad, and he knows how to hurt with [backstabbing] in the back!" Seeing the details of the thin man's skills, I knew that this thing had indeed put a lot of effort into researching this profession.
[Shadow of Deceit]:
Level: 30
HP:25000

[Cunning Curse]: When dealing damage to an enemy, a curse is always applied.
[Unwilling Anger]: After receiving a fatal attack, it will enter a state of soul drifting, and possess a random target, which will revive after a period of time, and randomly cause a curse state to a single target within 50 yards of the surrounding area, stun it after a few seconds, and at the same time, it will randomly transfer the possessed target every time a period of time passes.
This ghost is not powerful, but there is an annoying curse state in the skill, and it will also cause a curse state to the player after death, and after hitting, it will reduce all attributes, and the value is not much, but it lasts for a full 30 seconds.
But I really can't understand that [unwilling anger].
SAMA was stopped behind me, and the ghost's hasty counterattack hit me lightly, and after being immune to all ailments, the remaining damage was not worth mentioning.
Easily solved, I gave a thumbs up to the skinny man who jumped from the window.
"That's a must, your thin brother has always been wise and brave, how could this little trick sneak attack me?" The thin man was sunny, and the little admiration he had just had for him disappeared in an instant.
"The monsters in front of us just appear randomly, we can only improvise."
Actually, the thin man has already introduced us a lot, and this copy is not big, but difficult things such as trap enchantments will appear.
[Corroded Body]:
Grade: 33
HP:67000
Physical Attack: 890
Magic Attack: 0
Physical Defense: 830
Magical Defense: 615
Speed: 20
skill
[Corrosive Stench]: Spits out a foul corpse fluid, forming a filthy quagmire that lasts for several seconds in the area ahead, slowing and poisoning the target as it enters, and reducing some of the target's defense.
Turning the corner of an alley, a disgusting zombie suddenly pounced out, and its whole body seemed to have been burned by melting sulfuric acid, which looked unappetizing.
SAMA'S QUICK EYES DRAGGED ME BACKWARDS, DODGING THE LARGE PUDDLE OF SLIME THAT THE ZOMBIE WAS SPITTING OUT.
The slime poured on the ground, making a gurgling sound and emitting puffs of white smoke.
"I'm Nima, this vomits aqua regia, right!?" The extraordinarily vivid effect made people feel shocked, and our former chemistry teacher who was too long to play so big.
"Break the sky!"
[Broken Sky], primary, can increase your own skill damage by 10% within 10 seconds, and make the enemy who has been injured by yourself take an additional 5% of all damage within 10 seconds, consume MP200, and have a cooldown of 30 seconds, this skill has an outstanding improvement effect on the output of the gunman, but multiple gunmen use it on the same target, and it will not be stacked, only the one with the best effect will be selected.
To develop skills, I relied on the distance advantage to open the [Slam Slash] and slash directly at the head.
After soaring to level 33, my panel attack has already broken through the 2000 mark, and these monsters with less than 1000 defense can't withstand my damage at all, and the 3000+ damage makes SAMA behind him look full of envy.
"Brother Yu, you're getting stronger again!"
That said, people must always improve.
In contrast, SAMA's output is a bit weak, and the [Slash] with the [Rage Slash] effect is only less than 1500 damage, although it is not low, but it is a bit pitiful in comparison.
In this kind of street environment, in fact, the skill form of [Gunman] is much more comfortable than [Breaking Sun] [Dawn], and in terms of explosive ability at close range, [Gunman] can even do better.
Behind the stinky body, a transparent thin man suddenly appeared, and a set of ultra-high burst combos were shot instantly.
[Shadow Escape] effect's [Backstab] is followed by a flat slash and then a [Blade Slash] to cancel the attack delay animation, and then a flat slash is added to the [Throat].
In an instant, more than 10,000 blood in the stinky body was lost.
I can't even understand this burst of damage, and besides, the thin man is just a silver equipment in his hand.
The rapid retreat allowed him to avoid the foul-smelling backhand scratch, and the thin man's movement was becoming more and more mature, much better than his sluggish reflexes.
Under the influence of the three of them one after another, the foul-smelling body was teased to death.
"Old skinny, let me see the effect of your passive, why is the damage so high?"
After the leisure, I became interested in the passive skills of [Wind Shadow Master], and they all said that this profession is to survive passively, and today I opened my eyes, and the strongest outbreak really deserves its reputation.
A message from the Skinny Man is sent in the team's chat.
[Weakness Control]: Intermediate, passive skill, damage to the target within 3 seconds of 5% of the maximum health, can increase your subsequent damage to the target by 25%, the damage changes with the increase of the skill level, and the damage value required to trigger the passive decreases with the increase of the skill level.
“25%? Make no mistake! This is too perverted! ”
This damage increase is too overbearing, and besides, this is still intermediate, and when it is promoted to high, the ultimate, what kind of terrible data it should have, I dare not imagine.
In the future, in the wild, don't mess with anyone [Wind Shadow Master], one set broke out, and the meat like [Knight] didn't dare to boast that he could bear it.
"Whose skill is this? It's open, right? ”
In the chat bar, Hu Zi scolded and opened the voice directly, as a [swordsman] profession, he had never experienced this kind of pleasure of directly increasing by a quarter.
"All the fuss, isn't this the basic operation of the [Wind Shadow Master]? All sit down. The thin man's vanity was immediately satisfied, and he began his performance with hypocrisy.
The monsters that appeared behind him were strangely shaped, a resentful woman with no lower body, a butcher with no head, and even a baby in a jar with only one eye exposed.
It's like a haunted town.
However, these monsters are not as easy to deal with as I imagined, although the level is not as high as [Shelter], but the monster mechanism is indeed a bit tricky, I have been sneak attacked several times when I am so vigilant, if it is not for the immune ailment, light poisoning, bleeding, and the consumption caused by the curse, I can't bear it.
On the other hand, on the beard side, they are much more relaxed, although Xiao Lingchun has a soy sauce, but the beard and Ah Liu are outstanding in strength and excellent in their profession, and it is much easier to pull one after the other.
Sweeping through the sparse concentration of houses, two separate teams converged at the end.
"Old skinny, look at the number of monsters." Beard shook off the blood stains on his sword and asked the shrewd thin man.
"The unwilling woman has brushed enough, the child's obsession has been brushed enough, and now there are still five irascible souls and a deceitful shadow." The thin man counted the number of monsters on the roster and touched his head with some confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing my question, the thin man raised his head and looked at me, "Xiao Yu, this deceitful shadow is the sneak attack ghost we killed at the beginning, it stands to reason that it should have been killed?" ”
"Of course, my heavy halberd smashed it alive like garlic."
"Is there another one? It shouldn't be! There was only one before. ”
The thin man was a little confused to himself, but he didn't think much of it, just pointed to the abandoned church in front of him, said that the grumpy ghost was there, and told us to get ready to do it.
The beard was the first to go up and kick open the rotten door, and the dust of the turmoil scattered all over the ground.
Entering the church, the classical decoration style has a strong Western feeling, but the chaotic surroundings have completely lost the quiet and serious atmosphere.
At the front of the church, there were several corpses lying on the ground, and when we entered, we activated the monsters, and five ghosts floated out of the corpses and trembled in the air, and then pounced on us.
[Grumpy Soul]:

[Wraith Flame]: Shoots Nether Fire forward, dealing damage to all targets in its path.
[Annihilation Devour]: However, when the HP is lower than a certain value, it can devour the same kind within a certain range, restore all lost HP, and increase all attributes by 10%.
I can't check the attributes of this monster at my level.,Or Ah Liu sent the attributes he checked to the team chat bar.,I can see a rough idea.。
"Good boy, if this thing doesn't hurry up, it will still regain blood?" I get a headache every time I see this skill that devours the health of its own kind, and it often means more effort to kill them.
"You don't understand, do you? Hit them for a long time, and wait for them to devour each other and only one left, and then beat them to death, don't look at the introduction of the attribute improvement, under the guise of one, white scary. The thin man smiled confidently, full of ease.
In fact, as the thin man said, these ghosts are of such a high level, but they have no name, although they have a restrained defense against the mage profession, but they are vulnerable to the physics profession.
This is understandable, because there are many abnormal states of monsters in towns, so in the face of monsters in the early stage, the mage department has a unique advantage, even if there is no [Holy Light], they can easily use [Qingyin] to easily deal with all kinds of annoying abnormal states, and the physics profession is very unflattering in the early stage.
Many teams can't find [Holy Light] to assist them successfully, so in order to reduce the loss, they can only find more mage classes to form a team, although the town is easy, but it will be much weaker when facing these monsters.
This quest is too unforgiving for beginners, but after a few masters, it will be much simpler.
However, although that being said, along the way, the beards did not have an effective ailment defense, and they really lost a lot of consumables to restore their state, and there were very few materials left now.
Just as a few of us were struggling to output, Ah Liu in the back row suddenly screamed inexplicably, and then knelt there directly, as if unconscious.
"Dizzy?" This state was rare in the early stage, but the beard was still visible at a glance.
"Oops!"
As if remembering something, the thin man and the beard hurriedly walked towards Ah Liu, and after pulling out the front row, the pressure on me and SAMA to resist instantly increased a lot, and five pillars of fire sprayed towards the two of us at the same time, which was really a bit unbearable, even if I barely avoided two or three, the remaining two damages were a little too high, and I could only fight and retreat, and the blood medicine was like I didn't want money.
"Damn! It is estimated that it was possessed by the deceitful shadow after being resurrected, and now it is on Ah Liu, and because Liu'er is a teammate, we can't attack it! The thin man looked at Ah Liu's state and gave such an answer with certainty.
"That's not right! Why is your previous team okay? "The more I talk about it, the more confused I become, why did such a tricky thing suddenly pop up?
"Before, our team had [Holy Light], and when a player suddenly entered a cursed state, an angel would be done. Damn,I've never seen that monster trigger this state.,So I haven't taken it seriously.,Dare it's the most difficult one! ”
The thin man explained it like this, I probably understand the mechanism of this monster, which is that it is randomly attached to a player after death, and it can only be dispelled with the skill of removing the ailment, even if there is no [Holy Light], the mage can use [Qingyin] to get rid of the possession on his body before being stunned.
I'll just say why the [Holy Light] profession is so sought-after! I had to ask for it!
"Go and top your beard first! Don't let Ah Liu give seconds! I SHOUTED AT THE BEARD, AND HE NODDED, PULLING AT THE HATRED OF THE IRASCIBLE SOUL WITH HIS ONE-HANDED SHIELD, AND SAMA FOLLOWED HIM, BACK AND FORTH WITH HIM.
"Who's in their backpack with a potion to remove the ailment?"
The inquiry was exchanged for shaking his head for a while, because the monsters after leaving the town were all powerful outputs, and they didn't have the annoying abnormal state before, so everyone had already used up the medicine before the church.
"There's no way, I can only kill these monsters first, and try not to let the stunned teammates die!"
The situation in front of him is too helpless, this state of possession is simply a hidden tumor in the team, who may explode on anyone, once the key front row or output is stunned, then only death is waiting.
In order to protect Ah Liu's environment, we rushed up together to involve the monster hatred back and forth, and kept our position safe, so that the flame spewing skill would not hurt Ah Liu.
After a few sets of outputs, two of the irascible souls were not in a good state, and began to devour their nearby kinds, opening their virtual mouths, swallowing the surrounding air into their stomachs like a vortex, and the two souls that became targets struggled frantically, but they could only obediently become supplies.
"Now, let's just cripple that attribute that hasn't been improved, and pay attention to dodging the attacks of these two monsters." Beard stood in front with his shield on his head, slowly raising his sword and preparing to charge.
"Huh? That treacherous shadow is dead? ”
The thin man on the side inadvertently glanced at the roster, and suddenly found that the remaining monsters were only the three irritable souls in front of him, the shadow that gave us a headache, and I don't know when it had quietly died.
"Ahem......"
I looked at the experience points that flashed in my status bar, and smiled silently.
This damn bastard possessed my body, and was directly removed by the [Dust Curse]......
"Eighty percent is Ah Liufu's great life, and he killed that ghost!" I shouted like this, and my worries were swept away, and I had no worries, and the output was even more painful.
"Whew!"
A frosty arrow shot from behind us, slowing down the speed of the three irascible souls by a large margin, and the recovered Ah Liu continued to concentrate on the attack, relieving too much pressure for the difficult situation.
However, the thin men still twisted their bitter gourd faces, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.
The successive outputs caused the grumpy souls to begin to devour their own kind, and in a short time, only one soul was saved in the broken church.
And the thin man and the beard also showed their experience as a veteran, according to the novice who first came here, he was often frightened by the devouring skill of the grumpy soul, and in the end, the devouring attribute was increased by 40%, which was really a bit too inhumane.
This problem, naturally, is to use your brains, first let the two unjust souls devour the other two unjust souls, and then cripple one of the two devoured unjust souls, and pull it next to the other devoured unjust soul, and it will continue to devour.
As long as you leave a grumpy soul to maintain its initial state, let it be the last individual to devour its kind, and use it to devour the soul that has been devoured twice, so that its attributes will only increase by 10%.
At first, I was a little confused, thinking that the amount of blood recovered was so much, and the attributes were so great, how to fight?
As a result, the thin man shifted the target back and forth, and I slowly discovered the trick.
Only 10% increase in the grumpy soul is not enough for this group to treat as a full-output profession, and the successive burst skills are played, scattering it in the air and turning it into a cloud of dust.
The beard cracked his mouth and smiled, very handy at dealing with this monster: "This setting is simply a trap, and smart players can easily deal with it." But if a novice with a tendon comes here, it is estimated that they will be beaten one by one, and the five unjust souls can devour back and forth four times, and restore the full amount of blood four times, which is enough for them. ”
Fortunately, this unjust soul also gave a level 36 silver longbow, which finally replaced the bronze weapon in Ah Liu's hand.
Ah Liu's face also showed rare joy.
"Xiaoling, you have to be careful with Liuke in the future, this guy can even kill a ghost, how dangerous is it!"
The relaxed atmosphere is sparsely squatted by a thin man's broken mouth, and he doesn't say it when he should say it, and he talks when he shouldn't.
However, he also succeeded in drawing people's attention back to this deceitful shadow, and everyone was talking about why the good possession state would be lifted.
I was silent, and even a little flustered.
You have to clean up all your Brother Yu's family resources to be willing, right? Do you understand what it means to be confused?
"You don't understand, you haven't carefully studied the skills of that irascible soul, you see its jet of flames, the attribute description clearly reads 'damage to all targets along the way', it must have accidentally swept to Ah Liu, and burned the shadow that we couldn't attack!"
I'm really not a narcissist, but when it matters, I always find a fallacy that seems unassailable at first glance to force a good explanation of something that doesn't make sense.
Such an explanation finally solved the doubts of this group of people, and everyone suddenly nodded their heads again and again, smacking their tongues to admire the ingenuity of the system setting.
"Here's the way to lift the curse!"
Although this explanation is nonsense, it is actually ......
The system really has such a setting!
As for verifying this conjecture, that will be a matter for later.
In order to show off, Beard went to the [Corrosion Ridge] dungeon forum afterwards and posted such a technical stream post to explain many technical things for all kinds of novices, and this post has also become the top post of the [Corrosive Ridge] dungeon forum, which is regarded as a conscience boutique by many newcomers.
One of the key tricks is to explain "how to remove the possession state of the deceitful shadow", this hidden trick solves the doubts of most players, and has been praised by many people, and people have proved the correctness of this setting after experimentation.
However, this also indirectly led to a significant reduction in the value of the mage department and even the [Holy Light] profession in this dungeon, which caused many [Holy Light] players to run to the post to scold......
Casual nonsense can reveal hidden mechanisms, how can I not be so good? As much as I try to keep my head low, God always pleases me, intentionally or unintentionally, so what can I do?
Well, God makes me narcissistic, then I have to start from ah~
After the monster was killed, the square in front of the church heard a "boom" collapse, the ground of the square collapsed, and a fat giant monster the size of an African elephant crawled out from below, waving two huge iron chains with both hands, symbolically whipped around, and then looked up to the sky with a roar, turned its head and stared at us viciously.
