On a plain, Bai Xiaowen and Han Xu walked one after the other.
"There seems to be a light in front?" Bai Xiaowen saw a faint light flickering in the mist from afar. The color of the light was slightly pale, which reminded them of a will-o '-the-wisp.
Han Xu walked in front. This was the responsibility of an MT, even though he knew that Bai Xiaowen was more resistant to attacks than he was.
Soon, the pale light in the mist approached. Bai Xiaowen and Han Xu gasped when they saw it clearly.
In front of them was a headless figure in white. It was about half a foot off the ground and was holding a lantern made of human heads. The pale light was coming from the lantern's eyes.
There was no doubt that it was not a human. It was another ghost.
Bai Xiaowen used Insight and received a notification that said, "Target is protected by the White Stone." He was unable to designate it as the target of Insight.
"Old Han, back off! Let's test out this ghost's abilities first. "Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and released two skeleton swordsmen to try to touch the headless lantern ghost.
However, the ghost ignored the skeleton swordsmen's obstruction. It floated like a shadow and directly arrived in front of Han Xu.
The eyes of the lantern glowed brightly and suddenly fixed on Han Xu.
Han Xu (team channel): "I've been imprisoned."
Fortunately, when the headless ghost used the lantern to immobilize Han Xu, it was also released from the "White Stone Protection" state. Bai Xiaowen was prepared. Delifa flapped its wings and stabbed the headless ghost with its spear.
A cold and sharp howl was heard. It sounded like the screams of thousands of people who were about to die. It was especially terrifying.
One of the headless ghost's claws clawed at Han Xu's face, leaving three bloody marks on his face. Then, the headless ghost that was hit by Delifa quickly retreated. The light of the lantern dissipated.
Han Xu regained his freedom. He caught his breath and immediately raised his shield to meet the ghost.
Bai Xiaowen ordered Delifa to try attacking, and a spear stabbed the headless ghost.
Unexpectedly, at the same time that the headless ghost trembled, Han Xu's body also trembled, and he let out a muffled groan.
"What's wrong?" Bai Xiaowen asked. Han Xu hadn't been attacked just now, but his HP had dropped by a small chunk.
"I don't know … It suddenly notified me that I've received damage!" Han Xu said in bewilderment.
"Step back. It might be a curse or something." Without the information of insight, Bai Xiaowen could only speculate. He then ordered Delifa to continue attacking. Delifa's attack had proven to be effective.
Delifa adjusted its posture slightly and pierced the headless ghost's heart with its spear.
The headless ghost let out a shrill wail.
Han Xu suddenly clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale and he almost fell to the ground. His HP suddenly dropped by a large chunk!
"Delifa, stop!"
Bai Xiaowen immediately shouted. Then, the Undead Fiend Arcane Master appeared and used Yellow Sky on Han Xu.
Originally, Bai Xiaowen planned to heal Han Xu's HP, but after the Yellow Sky skill was used, Han Xu's HP bar only increased by a sliver. On the other hand, the headless ghost's scattered body seemed to have been nourished.
"Old Han, how are you?" Bai Xiaowen rushed to Han Xu's side.
"I'm alright. It said that I was hit by a Vital Strike. Fortunately, it wasn't an instant kill." Han Xu struggled to stand straight and took out a piece of food to recover his HP.
Bai Xiaowen stopped him. "Don't eat it yet."
Han Xu: "???"
"If I'm not mistaken, this ghost's special ability should be 'damage transfer' … or more specifically, 'buff transfer'. In other words, it transfers most of the damage it receives to you. At the same time, most of the healing effect you receive will be transferred to it, "Bai Xiaowen explained.
Han Xu was dumbfounded. "There's a ghost like that? How did it do that? "
"The main point should be the front part. It scratched your face, so it might have planted a curse or something like that," Bai Xiaowen said.
"Then what should we do?" Han Xu asked. "If we want to kill this ghost, will I die before it?"
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and said, "No power is invincible. There's always a way to counter it … Han Xu, if I don't make a move, you try to attack this headless ghost."
Han Xu was a little unsure, but due to his trust in Bai Xiaowen, he still picked up the wrench and heavy shield, strode over, and swung the wrench at the headless ghost's shoulder.
The headless ghost's body twisted and slid away easily like a fish, avoiding Han Xu's attack.
"As expected … this kind of damage transfer ability only targets damage or healing from a 'third party.' There's no way to transfer the damage from the target of the link, "Bai Xiaowen said behind Han Xu." Otherwise, the headless ghost wouldn't have to dodge. It could just stand still and kill you. This way, you can eat food or use health potions to stabilize your HP. "
Han Xu nodded silently. While he raised his shield to block the headless ghost's sharp claws, he took the time to stuff a chicken drumstick into his mouth. His HP slowly recovered.
Although the headless ghost had the ability to transfer damage, it wasn't very strong. It was about the level of an Advanced Elite. Han Xu's hammer and shield attack technique had been honed for a long time and was quite mature. Soon, he suppressed the headless ghost.
Bai Xiaowen touched his chin. "If the headless ghost encounters a lone Awakened, who will it find to bind the link? This kind of ability can only prevent others from ganging up on it. If the target of the link can't beat it, then there's nothing else it can do. "
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen scanned with his mind power and found a spirit creature flying in the air.
"Qiao Rui's Spirit of the Falcon? It's finally here. "
Bai Xiaowen heaved a sigh of relief and looked up at the Falcon's Spirit that was flying at a low altitude.
It had been more than eight hours since they entered the treasure space. This should be the second time Qiao Rui released the Spirit of the Falcon after the cooldown period. This time, he finally found Bai Xiaowen.
Qiao Rui deliberately lowered the flying altitude of the Spirit of the Falcon so that Bai Xiaowen could see it. After confirming that Bai Xiaowen had found it, the Spirit of the Falcon circled at a low altitude under Qiao Rui's control. It circled three times above Bai Xiaowen's head before flying in a certain direction.
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "I know … … then, we'll have to finish this quickly. Old Han! "
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and cast a Berserk Talisman, causing Han Xu to enter a berserk state. He was immune to control effects and his damage was greatly increased. It didn't take long for him to hammer the headless ghost to death.
In the end, the headless ghost dropped a special item: Spirit of the Scapegoat (Fragment). It was the same type as the Spirit of the Host Ghost (Fragment).
"Qiao Rui has found us. Let's go! " Bai Xiaowen called out to Han Xu. The two of them followed the flight path of the Spirit of the Falcon and quickly caught up.
