Bai Xiaowen used his dagger to cut open the crocodile's skin. He checked the area around the heart but did not find any treasure meat. He threw the whole crocodile's corpse into his inventory. As a Hero, Bai Xiaowen had a large inventory space. He was also bound to the team's shared inventory space.
Bai Xiaowen found specks of phosphorescence in the direction where the crocodile had crawled out. He was overjoyed. He carefully walked over and brushed aside a cluster of unknown dark green plants. He saw a cluster of gray grass flickering with phosphorescence.
This was the Nether Grass. To create the Undead Camouflage, one needed the Drowned Bones and Nether Grass. Of course, this cluster alone was not enough.
Bai Xiaowen carefully picked the Nether Grass. He felt a little short of breath. After becoming an Awakened, he had a rare feeling of fatigue. It was like continuously using the Grass Style Ancient Martial Arts to create flames.
As a Summoner, Bai Xiaowen's Stamina consumption was relatively low. He knew that the Ghost Fog was filled with negative environmental effects, so he was very careful to conserve his Stamina. He had been using the Desert Eagle to attack from afar. This way, he would consume the least Stamina.
However, low consumption did not mean no consumption. The control and calculation of his mental power would also consume a certain amount of stamina.
More importantly, the Wrath Claw was also affected by the lingering Yin energy. It stuck out its tongue and panted like a dog in summer.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the Skeleton Swordsman and the Undead Demon Arcane Master. He was surprised to find that these undead creatures did not have any lingering Yin energy around them. He silently checked the Undead Demon Arcane Master's mental power recovery speed. He found that compared to normal, its recovery speed had increased!
"This is really the home ground of undead and demons." Bai Xiaowen sighed. He put away the Wrath Claw and summoned the Vampire Kitts and the Shadow Assassin as the main force.
"Boss, is this the Dead Soul Lake you were talking about?" As a sentient Kitts, he made his presence known as soon as he appeared. He took a deep breath and said, "As expected of a treasure land. It feels good. The air is fresh."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Because you're an undead creature, that's why you feel comfortable. This place is very unfriendly to life forms … let's not talk too much. Let's keep going. Kitts, you walk in front. "
"Alright." With the ability to morph into a bat, Kitts' life-saving abilities were quite strong, and he was the most suitable candidate to scout ahead.
Along the way, Bai Xiaowen killed a few more drowned zombies and picked two clumps of Nether Grass.
"I think it's about time." Bai Xiaowen now had eight black Drowned Bones and three tufts of Nether Grass. He tried to fuse these special items together. After a slight flash of light, an item that looked like a tattered straw raincoat appeared in front of Bai Xiaowen.
As soon as Bai Xiaowen touched it, he received a notification:
[Incomplete Undead Disguise (Low Level): Disguises you as an Undead creature. Due to the limited materials, this item is severely damaged, which will seriously affect the camouflage effect.]
Bai Xiaowen tried to drape this tattered straw raincoat over his body, and felt a slightly cold sensation.
However, when the white mist surged and flowed through the straw raincoat, Bai Xiaowen clearly felt that the feeling of constantly absorbing heat from his body had somewhat disappeared.
"It really is effective. The lingering effects of the Yin energy have weakened. However, the negative effects are still there. Perhaps it's because the Undead Disguise is an incomplete version. "
Bai Xiaowen draped the incomplete Undead Disguise on and walked forward. Ahead of him was a low-lying swamp, and a wide lotus-like object floated on the surface of the swamp.
The vampire Kitts stepped on the first lotus leaf, and said, "Boss, this lotus leaf isn't bad. It's very buoyant." As he spoke, Kitts even jumped a couple of times.
"Hey, don't jump!" Bai Xiaowen hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late. Two wisps of faint gray smoke emerged from the swamp below the lotus leaf, and then condensed into two humanoid figures with no facial features. They scratched at Kitts with their sharp nails.
Kitts hurriedly retreated in fright. "Whoa, what are these things!"
"These are undead soul creatures, ghosts. They usually hibernate beneath the giant lotus leaf," Bai Xiaowen explained.
Kitts' jumping just now was like dancing on a ghost's grave. Any ghost wouldn't be able to stand it. Otherwise, with his undead body, he wouldn't have aroused the ghosts' vigilance. Only a lifeform like Bai Xiaowen would.
Bai Xiaowen used Insight on the two ghosts. Ghosts and Shadow Assassins were of the same race. They had the racial passive ability of reducing physical damage by 50%, but of course, the price was that they received 50% more magic damage.
Of these two ghosts, one was of the normal template, while the other was of the elite template. The two monsters shared a second skill called Rend, which used their nails to scratch the enemy and cause physical damage, as well as a bleeding effect.
Apart from these two skills, the elite ghost also had an additional active skill, Ghost Shriek. This was a crowd control skill that could cause nearby enemies to flee in all directions.
Seeing the Ghost Shriek skill, Bai Xiaowen knew that he had to end the battle quickly. This was a muddy swamp. If this crowd control skill caused them to run around randomly, it would be very dangerous to fall into the swamp itself, not to mention that it would attract even more slumbering ghosts.
Bai Xiaowen took out a bottle of ale and gulped it down. A warm current flowed through him, dispelling the chill. He could feel that the energy he had lost was quickly recovering. At his command, Kitts and the two skeletal swordsmen charged forward.
The first to attack was still the Skeletal Fiend Arcane Master. He pointed his bony claws, and a bolt of lightning came crashing down. Not only did it deal a shocking 85 points of magic damage, it also successfully interrupted the elite ghost's first attack.
Bai Xiaowen closed in and punched the elite ghost's abdomen with a flaming fist. He then followed up with a series of smooth moves. The two skeletal swordsmen followed up with a Shield Bash, keeping the elite ghost in an unbalanced state. Bai Xiaowen's two fingers drew a line of fire in the air as he used Dark Whisk. A line of fire quickly wrapped around the elite ghost, burning it and forcing it to retreat.
Psst! The Shadow Assassin appeared behind the elite ghost and accurately stabbed it in the back.
Of course, the elite ghost's physical damage was reduced by 50%, so the double damage of the stab was negated. However, the elite ghost was suffering from the Skeletal Fiend Arcane Master's Lightning Strike and Bai Xiaowen's Fire Burn. It didn't have much health left.
