Chapter 17: The Starving Ghost
"Snort..."
Hurriedly dodging a chain of fire that the flame skeleton swung at with his sword, the scorching flames shook Qiao Mai's side. In an instant, Qiao Mai could smell the smell of her hair being burned by the heat.

With the help of a high speed of rotation, the scorching touch brought by the Sword of the Inquisitor will be transformed into a fiery and sharp sword aura. Form a massive flaming tornado with a diameter of 5 meters, destroying and purifying everything that enters the flames.
Still far away, the chain of fire thrown out by the long sword in the flame skeleton's hand danced wildly in the space in front of Qiao Mai. Qiao Mai, who didn't have time to dodge quickly, suddenly appeared on his chest with two terrifying scars, and the scorching chain of fire directly took away the two muscles on his body, and the terrifying scars were scorched as soon as they appeared. The intense pain made Qiao Mai lose the ability to breathe in an instant, and if it weren't for the 1 elemental resistance brought by his perfect body, his ability to resist elemental damage increased. He was pretty sure he would be torn apart by the Flame Skeleton and a few swords. The self-confidence and psychological expansion brought about by just upgrading to level 3 in a row were instantly expelled by this instant.
Strong will gave Jomai the ability to resist the attack, and an axe broke the raging chain of fire. Qiao Mai instantly burst into the 3-meter range of the Flame Skull. The powerful mystical will caused the flame skeleton to fall backwards the moment it was burst in, and its powerful soul attribute caused it to only take less than 10 damage. The violently boiling fire element around made Qiao Mai have to retreat as soon as he rushed in. The Flame Skeleton's 3-point fire elemental enhancement combined with the perverted Flame Realm makes it a luxury for all creatures to even get close to him.
Quickly extinguish the sparks from his clothes, and look at the flaming skeleton that pounced on him again. Qiao Mai almost burst into tears. Damn, this is more buggy than my own mysterious will.
"The nine-character mantra - pro, pro, pro..."
The nine-character mantra that used to be invincible has also failed in the Flame Skull. The surging flames and elemental resistance of up to 2 on its body caused the cyan air flow summoned by the nine-character mantra to evaporate before it could get close.
"Big brother, let's run too. It's okay if you don't do it, just don't lose your life..."
The young man who was hiding far away Chong looked at Qiao Mai's embarrassed appearance, and looked at the terrifying appearance of the skeleton that was boiling with flames. I was so frightened that I began to retreat. Qiao Mai, who was running and hiding, didn't even have the ability to speak. The chain of fire dancing rapidly behind him made his spirit highly concentrated. The sword worn by the Flame Skull is really a bit perverted, and the attack range of up to 5 meters is really incomprehensible with the Flame Domain.
He was whipped on his back again, and the severe pain invaded Qiao Mai's brain. Ripping off the already burning denim suit on his body, Qiao Mai's eyes moved to his natural gluttony. Soul Enslavement can summon a starving ghost as a meat shield, and if it doesn't work, you can run away.
"Summon..."
In an instant, he lost 10 points of energy, and then Qiao Mai felt a strange force transfer from his body to the dim shadow under his feet. Suddenly, the dark and shiny shadow wriggled, and a shadow separated from Qiao Mai's shadow. The shadow of separation gradually grew larger and became a strange figure as it swayed. In the end, what appeared in Qiao Mai's eyes was a strange and ugly figure.
The Starving Ghost (Gluttony) Level: ?
Power: 5.4
Dexterity: 5.4
Physique: 5.4
Health: 54
Biological Characteristics: Strange Creature (Gluttony): A starving ghost who was originally an illusory spirit was given a strong body by Gluttony. The Hungry Ghost's body stats are equal to your average soul stats, and they are immune to all soul attacks of the same tier.
Horror Hunger: The Hungry Ghost is hungry. Every minute the Starving Ghost gains the ability to eat brutally. Creatures hit by brutal eating will be forcibly devoured by a portion of their health, stamina, and energy. The exact value depends on the difference between the target's physical stats and the starving ghost's stats. Devoured stamina and energy are fed back to the character's body, and the Hungry ghost's overflowing health becomes a temporary shield.
Gluttony Enslavement: Hungry ghosts enslaved by gluttony possess a portion of the Gluttony trait. Each creature killed restores a portion of its health.
The strange creature in front of him was nearly 2 meters tall and was wearing tattered and blackened clothes. The whole body is skinny and boneless, but the huge head shows that it is extraordinary. A huge mouth opened on the head twice the size of an ordinary person, and the eyes and nose were squeezed to the top of the face. The mouth full of yellow and black teeth was licked by a disgusting huge tongue from time to time, exuding an unpleasant smell.
"From now on, you're number one. Number 1, it for me..."
An axe smashed through the disgusting face of the starving ghost, and Qiao Mai pointed to the skeleton that had caught up behind him and gave an order. The starving ghost, with an eerie laugh, pounced on the flaming skeleton with its mouth wide open. Looking at the eagerness, it was clear that everything but Jo Mai was considered food by it.
"Brutal eating..."
The Hungry Ghost is painless, and the Hungry Ghost, whose body ignites flames as soon as he enters the Flame Realm, activates his only skill, Brutal Eat, the moment he gets close to the skeleton. The large mouth, which had suddenly become several times larger, bit down on the flame skeleton. The Giant Mouth does not attack the target's body, nor does it attack the soul. It was as if it wasn't in one dimension when the starving ghost bit most of the skeleton's shoulder, and after a burst of tearing, it bit off some mysterious medium from the skeleton.
"The Hungry Ghost unleashes a cruel diet on the target, and the attribute is being determined... The attribute difference is 5.2, dealing 15.6 (difference *3) true damage to the target, and absorbing the same amount of health, stamina and energy.
With the naked eye, it can be seen that the life of the flame skeleton suddenly decreased by fifteen or sixteen points, and the flames burning violently on its body also shrank a lot, as if it was about to be extinguished. The Hungry Ghost, with a strength of 5.4, flung out of his arms and pressed the Flame Skeleton to attack. In just a few turns, the Flame Skull's health dropped to 60, but the Hungry was quickly ignited into a giant torch that shook and turned into a pile of ashes.
"Hungry Ghost No. 1 has died, and the soul source has returned to gluttony. You can summon again in an hour..."
Looking at the skeleton that rushed towards him again after the starving ghost died, Qiao Mai, who didn't care, stretched out his finger and summoned three times in a row, and the three shadows that separated quickly turned into three tall and ugly starving ghosts and pounced towards the flame skeleton.
"Brutal eating..."
"Brutal eating..."
"Brutal eating..."
3 consecutive brutal feedings directly reduced the Flame Skull's health to 10 points, and the strange attack made the flames on its body extinguish. The flaming greatsword in his hand also dimmed a lot. Seeing that a few starving ghosts waved their shriveled arms and knocked the flame skeletons apart, Qiao Mai clicked on his quest panel and canceled the "I am a warrior" system quest. It's not easy to kill a Warrior-level boss, and killing it with this quest won't break anything. Qiao Mai, who has been cheated several times, wants to cry when he thinks about the few elites he killed with great difficulty in front of him.
"Whoa..."
After an attack, the massive skeleton body fell apart. Before the scattered bone sticks hit the ground, they were all stuffed into their big mouths by the three starving ghosts.
"Ding, you killed the Flame Inquisitor - Francis Flame (Warrior). Since your level is 3 levels higher than your opponent's, you can't gain any XP. Kill a Champion, you gain 0.2 attribute points, and you gain 2 Dead Man's Resentment. When the talent Gluttony is activated, you gain an additional 0.2 attribute points and you gain an additional 2 potential points. You gain an additional 2 Dead Man's Remittal. ”
"The next time you kill a monster below level 3, you won't get any rewards."
Qiao Mai, who saw the news, burst into tears. However, the 0.6 free attribute and the terrifying 21 potential points in the attribute bar made Qiao Mai's mouth grin. Based on the information gathered, Qiao Mai knew that ordinary people would not gain anything by killing elite monsters. Killing Champion Monsters grants an additional 0.1 stat points, and the Champion Boss is increased to 0.2. And killing the champion boss will only increase the potential point by 1. Not only do you get extra rewards for your talents, but you also upgrade them. Killing Elite monsters gives you an extra 0.1 attribute points, and Warriors get 2 potential points. The added stat has also been changed to 0.2. And what about killing the champion?
Thinking of this, Qiao Mai couldn't help but look forward to it.
