People were frightened by the curse and never dared to set foot in it again.

Until one day, a scholar and mage known as the "All-Knowing Wise Man" came here by chance to explore an ancient ruin.

He became interested in the "curse" of Devil's Ridge, but after his investigation, he discovered that the so-called "curse" was actually a monster called the Soul Monster. Spagerines like to roam at night and let out some terrifying "weird laughs", and as for the idea of tearing souls, they do attack souls directly.

These Thorns were born from an ancient ruin in Devil's Ridge, where Assassins haunted Devil's Ridge when tomb robbers opened the entrance to the ruins.

Lin Chen soon saw these stinging monsters, they were variants of ghosts, floating in mid-air, their bodies seemed to be a fickle black mist, the only thing that remained unchanged was the distorted faces, which made people get goosebumps just looking at them-

[Spike] Lv.14

Health: 1400, Magical Attack: 160-192, Physical Defense: 176, Magical Defense: 188

Skills: Mist Spirit, Soul Thorn

Description: Spliners don't like sunlight and only wander in the dark, they are erratic and always emit weird laughs. Spikes have the nature to get close to the souls of the living, then get excited, and then want to tear apart the souls of the other person.

These Spliners blend easily into the darkness, and their movements are difficult to detect under the cover of night.

It wasn't until a strange laugh that gradually approached that Lin Chen realized that something was wrong, and saw the dewy grass-colored light shining in the darkness, illuminating the body of the Soul Thorn Monster at that moment.

Lin Chen noticed these Soul Monsters, and also noticed the attack they launched, which was a light blue translucent spike that pierced directly through Lin Chen's body.

“-204”

Lin Chen felt a slight headache and a concomitant feeling of dizziness.

It was the first time Lin Chen had seen this kind of monster, and when he sensed the attack of the Soul Thorn Monster and wanted to dodge, it was already a step too late. Unless Lin Chen reacted in an instant and chose to use an instantaneous step to avoid the attack, but Lin Chen didn't make such a choice, because he instinctively felt that he could still bear the damage this time.

It was not without benefit to take damage, so that Lin Chen learned that the only means of attack of these soul thorns was to release soul thorns.

Soul Thorn is a skill and a special means of attack. Soul Thorn's attack directly affects the target soul and cannot be blocked, nor is it affected by any non-soul defense means, such as the damage reduction effect of the warrior's defensive stance, which cannot affect the damage result of the soul thorn.

As for the other skill of the Splinter, the natural trait of the Fog Spirit, it is similar to the Spirit, when attacking the target, it can ignore 50% of the target's magic defense, but it is more extreme than the Spirit in other effects.

After being tempted, Lin Chen found that using ordinary physical attack methods could not cause a single damage to the Soul Thorn Monster in its normal state, it was the same as hitting the air with an attack. Even if you use some damage skills that can trigger sword energy, the damage caused will be at least 50% physical damage reduction, and the fight will be half the effort.

It is only when the Spingering is in attack that he can deal 100% physical damage to the Spike.

This monster is very unfriendly to players of the physics profession, and there is no additional experience bonus after the fight, unless it is required by the mission, otherwise the physics profession is a complete waste of time.

Players of the mage profession are suitable for leveling up by farming Assassins, after all, the health of Assassins is not very high, and Assassins cannot reduce or even ignore magic damage. However, the premise is that these mage players are not full wisdom attribute points, if they do not have a certain spiritual attribute points, it is very likely that the casting process will be interrupted when they are attacked by soul thorns, or it will affect the release of the next skill.

Lin Chen didn't want to entangle too much with these Soul Monsters, but unfortunately, in the Devil's Ridge at night, at least the monsters that spawned around here were all Soul Monsters. Moreover, the alert range of the Soul Thorn Monster is not small, and you can notice Lin Chen from a distance of more than ten steps, even if you hide behind trees and stones, it is useless.

It's a lot of work.

If it weren't for the completion of the task, he would have turned around directly at this time and followed Devil's Ridge to say goodbye.

At this moment, Lin Chen looked at the Beginner Transformation Scroll in his backpack and struggled for a while, but finally he was reluctant to use it.

This kind of magic scroll is not easy to buy, and one is less than one, and although the Soul Thorn is a little troublesome, it is not something he can't deal with, it's just half the effort.

However, after Lin Chen killed more than a dozen Soul Assassins and exploded a pile of garbage, he stumbled upon such a phenomenon, if he held his breath, he could reduce the probability of being perceived by the Soul Assassins.

The rest of the journey was finally much easier.

As I walked, the number of stinging spirits roaming around finally decreased.

Through the illumination of the moonlight and phosphor powder, Lin Chen noticed a group of ghost wolves, as well as a pair of ghostly green eyes that radiated a greedy light.

[Ghost Wolf] Lv.15

Health: 1800, Magical Attack: 178-212, Physical Defense: 204, Magical Defense: 178

Skill: Tear

Description: It's not scary to be targeted by a ghost wolf, it's scary that you'll always be met by a pack of greedy and ferocious nocturnal hunters, and hopefully you won't fall prey to them.

What a hassle.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, in the end, he was only one person, and it was not a good pleasure to be targeted by a group of ghost wolves. There were also no suitable trees in the vicinity, allowing him to climb quickly to avoid the attacks of these ghost wolves.

He also gave up the idea of escaping, and his intuition told him that with his current movement speed, he would never be able to escape the pursuit of these ghost wolves. And he is not familiar with this area, running around will only provoke more monsters, then it is the time to be really in the Jedi, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth.

Let's fight!

Thankfully, the Ghost Wolf is not really a ghost and does not have the innate traits of a spirit. It is only because they are active at night that their hair emits a faint blue glow, which looks like ghosts from a distance, hence the name.

Without the physical damage reduction effect of the spirit body, even if he was only one person, facing more than twenty ghost wolves, Lin Chen was not afraid at all. Anyway, these ghost wolves can't land their attacks on him at the same time.

Lin Chen moved quickly, facing the three or four wolf shadows that attacked, Half Moon slashed his hand and dealt damage to the three ghost wolves at the same time, which also slightly slowed down the attack of the three ghost wolves.

Seeing that a ghost wolf was around him, he was out of step in an instant, and then dodged the ghost wolf's attack, and then a set of skill combos, and first dropped a ghost wolf in seconds.

However, after using the instantaneous step, in the face of the next wave of attack of the wolves, he could only rely on his consciousness and body to dodge.

His health dropped so fast that he had to reluctantly use up a bottle of Potent Healing Potion that regained 900 HP per second.

One of the things that makes it easier to farm monsters than PK is that you won't be interrupted from drinking medicine unless you're hit by a monster's special attack or a hard negative status such as a stun caused by a skill. And when PK, if you are attacked by various attacks from other players, you may interrupt the action of drinking medicine.

As time passed, the number of ghost wolves killed by Lin Chen increased, and the pressure he faced became scarcer and rarer.

Eventually, the last ghost wolf fell in front of him.

He glanced at the experience bar, this wave of ghost wolves brought him an experience increase of about 28%, and he was 25% away from leveling up, and if he brushed another wave of ghost wolves, it would be almost upgraded.

Lin Chen began to clean up the battlefield, although it was difficult to recognize things in the dark night, but the props that the monsters exploded, even if they were just materials, would glow, and they were less likely to be missed than during the day.

Lin Chen was the first to notice a piece of bronze equipment, it seemed that his luck was not bad, but just when he picked up this equipment, he found a shoe lying next to the equipment.

A shoe that looks exquisitely made, but it is stained with dirt and dust, and there is no luster in it.

Lin Chen's heart sank, this shoe was not a piece of equipment that exploded from a monster.
