40: Skeleton Ghost, quick upgrade.

The iron sword swiped through the Skeleton Specter, but passed right through it!

Miss...

"Huh? It can dodge that too?" Lu Ziming was stunned.

Seeing this, Chen Beixuan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately threw out a Scout.

--------

Skeleton Specter: 15th level

Health: 3800

Attack: 200

Defense: Immune

Magic Resistance: 50

Skills: Shuttle, Physical Immunity, Spirit Weakening.

Introduction: The lowest level specter in the Dark World, often wandering aimlessly.

--------

"Physical immunity... no wonder then..."

Chen Beixuan immediately understood when he saw the Physical Immunity skill.

These types of ghosts can only be damaged by magic attacks.

The reason countless teams entered and never returned was likely because of this.

Aside from him, if an ordinary team encountered this, they would probably die a miserable death.

After all, no one under 20th level would possess over 500 in both physical and magic defense.

"Look! More specters are coming!"

Super Dad reminded the two.

Chen Beixuan and Lu Ziming turned their heads and indeed saw more than a dozen floating Skeleton Specters flying towards them.

Lu Ziming's face changed slightly, and he quickly hid behind Chen Beixuan.

"No, with my magic array, why do you keep hiding?" Chen Beixuan said, disappointed.

"I... I've been afraid of these things since I was little. I don't even dare to watch ghost movies during the day..."

Lu Ziming clutched his clothes, explaining with a bit of embarrassment.

Chen Beixuan's face darkened, and he said testily, "Then why don't you hide behind him? Why me!"

"When I... when I'm scared, I always look for my grandpa, so... it's a bit... involuntary..."

By the end, his voice grew softer and softer, and he lowered his head, not daring to look Chen Beixuan in the eye.

Chen Beixuan rubbed his forehead, completely speechless, and no longer paid attention to his behavior.

"Healer, try your skills."

Super Dad nodded, raising his staff to cast a spell.

"Group Healing Spell!"

The holy light of the skill was about to shine, but it suddenly disappeared, with no effect.

The surrounding specters still flew around, and -0 kept floating above the heads of the three, unaffected in the slightest.

Seeing this, Super Dad frowned deeply and changed skills to try again.

"Slow Healing!"

Still ineffective.

"Healing Spell!"

Still no effect.

"Try a damage skill," Chen Beixuan suddenly said.

"Light Impact!"

Super Dad switched to a damage skill, and this time it worked!

Dense healing numbers floated above the heads of the specters within the attack range.

+458, +458, +458, ...

Under the Yin-Yang Reversal talent, damage skills turned into healing.

Seeing this, Chen Beixuan understood.

As he expected, Super Dad's talent could just exploit the rules of the Dark World.

With the skill research complete, he began to unleash his full firepower!

"Lightning Spell!"

Boom boom boom—

True Damage -6454, -3227, -6454, ...

One round of damage directly killed the specters, and his experience soared.

[Ding! You killed a [Skeleton Specter Lv15] beyond your level, gaining 240 (+200%) experience points and 13 copper coins!]

[Ding! You killed a [Skeleton Specter Lv15] beyond your level...]

......

"Lightning Chain!"

The staff tapped the ground, and three purple lightning bolts surged forth, leaping back and forth between more than a dozen specters.

-2817, -2243, -1774, ...

-2817, -2243, ...

The specters wailed continuously, their souls scattered by the lightning!

Lu Ziming and Super Dad were both stuck at 10th level, so the experience distribution naturally went entirely to Chen Beixuan.

Soon, a golden light fell upon him!

[Ding! Your level has increased to 14th level, gaining 3 free attribute points!]

[Ding! The [Entry Grant] talent has taken effect, granting the golden entry [Cold Blooded]!]

[Cold Blooded]: Golden Quality

Effect Description: When the endowed skill deals damage to targets with less than 50% health, damage is increased by 50%.

--------

"Hiss... This must be given to Lightning Spell!"

"Endow Lightning Spell."

Chen Beixuan did not hesitate at all.

A 50% increase in damage is also effective for Lightning Spell's true damage, an absolutely huge boost.

After another Lightning Spell fell, the surrounding specters were cleared out.

Since Super Dad could only heal and not deal damage, he simply joined Lu Ziming as a spectator.

What was strange was that the specters only dropped copper coins and no equipment at all.

Lu Ziming stared at the damage with wide eyes, thinking to himself that his master had grown stronger again...

"The specters came from over there, let's go take a look."

Chen Beixuan called out to the two, and Lu Ziming and Super Dad quickly followed.

[Ding! You are being corroded by Dark Power, physical and magic attack power decrease by 1% per minute, currently 18 stacks!]

After walking for a while, the three finally saw the first building after entering the Black Curtain.

It was a uniquely shaped tomb, large enough for one person, with a Persian-style round dome and spire, and a weathered stele standing in front of it.

From time to time, specters shuttled through it, as if it were their home.

And through the thick fog, many more such tombs could be vaguely seen.

After two consecutive attacks, Lu Ziming was no longer as afraid of specters, though his face was still a bit pale.

He swallowed, "Are we... going in...?"

Chen Beixuan was too lazy to bother with him, raising his foot and walking forward.

No matter what lay ahead, he was fearless.

Below 20th level, there was nothing that one Lightning Spell couldn't solve.

If there was, then he'd just use a few more!

As soon as the three stepped into the graveyard, a large number of specters attacked them.

"Lightning Spell!"

"Lightning Chain!"

"Freezing Spell!"

"Protective Flame!"

The four skills were unleashed in rotation, and the number of specters gradually decreased, being eliminated one by one.

To increase his skill proficiency, he specifically turned off Protective Flame's burning damage.

Otherwise, with over 4000 burning damage per second, the specters would only die faster.

[Ding! Proficiency full, Lightning Chain level increased to 3 stars! Next level (3/800)]

[Ding! Proficiency full, Protective Flame level increased to 3 stars! Next level (3/800)]

Lightning Chain's damage increased from 320% to 340%.

Protective Flame's range increased from 4 meters to 5 meters, and its damage increased from 240% to 250%.

Boom boom boom—

True Damage -6163, -3081, -6163, ...

[Ding! You killed a [Skeleton Specter Lv15] beyond your level, gaining 160 (+100%) experience points and 14 copper coins!]

[Ding! You killed a [Skeleton Specter Lv15] beyond your level...]

......

[Ding! Your level has increased to 15th level, gaining 3 free attribute points!]

[Ding! The [Entry Grant] talent has taken effect, granting the golden entry [Range Expansion]!]

[Range Expansion]: Golden Quality

Effect Description: The effective range of area skills is expanded, increased by 100%.

--------

"Hmm... I'll save it for now."

Chen Beixuan closed the panel after a moment of thought.

His current attributes were sufficient for the task, so he could appropriately save the entries for better skills.

Moreover, his only area skill was Protective Flame, which was already sufficient.

Although it could change from 5 meters to 10 meters, increasing the kill zone.

But his current casting range had already reached an astonishing 26 meters, and a 10-meter range was still too small.

He refocused, continuing to kill specters and leading the two deeper.

Completely focused on the specters, the three did not notice.

The sealing slabs of the tombs around them were constantly shedding dust...
