The effective range of Moon Shadow was equivalent to Ling Chen's level. Just as Qi Yue had said, if Ling Chen's level was above 50, then the effective range of Moon Shadow could be increased to more than 50 meters. In that case, it was possible to freeze the Maneki-Neko within 50 meters of the Maneki-Neko … Then, if he could move more than 50 meters within 5 seconds, he could really capture the Maneki-Neko.
Ling Chen was excited. If he could capture the Maneki-Neko, he could obtain at least one of its treasures. Capturing the Maneki-Neko, which was said to have never been caught before, was a very fulfilling thing … But on the other hand, Qi Yue had also said that the Maneki-Neko would never go to crowded places. Most people would not even see it once in their lifetime. So, not to mention whether he could successfully capture it, whether he could see it again was also a problem.
"How do I find the Maneki-Neko?" Ling Chen asked after pondering for a while.
"The Maneki-Neko can't be found. To encounter it, you can only rely on luck. In other words, the higher a person's luck is, the more likely they are to encounter it. The fact that Little Master could encounter it today means that Little Master's luck is pretty good. Alright, I can't take it anymore. I'm going to bed. It's creepy here, you must be careful. "
After that, Qi Yue went silent. Her current state determined that she could only stay awake for a very short period of time every day, and the time she could materialize was as short as 10 minutes.
The higher the luck, the more likely it was to encounter it? Ling Chen glanced at his current luck — 9 points. If Little Gray leveled up by another 3 levels, his luck would increase to 10 points, which was the limit of an ordinary player. If Little Gray leveled up to 40, his luck would reach 15 points … a rather terrifying amount of luck.
After covering up Chiyang Xuanjin's hiding spot, Ling Chen summoned Cloud-treading Colt again and continued eastward.
Half an hour later …
"Ding … You have entered the Ghastly Grounds."
It was obviously daytime, but it was like the evening when the curtain of night had just fallen. Gray smoke floated in the air, greatly reducing the range of visibility. A cold and gloomy wind blew slowly, bringing with it a nauseating rancid smell, occasionally mixed with the creepy sound of ghosts crying.
As expected of the Ghastly Grounds … Those who were slightly timid might not even have the guts to take a step forward. Thinking silently, Ling Chen jumped off the Cloud-treading Colt and recalled it. Summoning his two weapons, he walked toward the gloomy world that was enshrouded in gray fog. His vigilance was at its highest.
"Howl …"
"Huhuhuhu …"
"Hahahahaha …"
All kinds of sounds that made people feel cold from the surface to the heart came from all directions. It could make even the most courageous person's teeth chatter. The further they went, the thicker the rotting smell and gray smoke became, and their visibility became lower and lower. Ling Chen's brows furrowed. Even for him, being alone in such an environment made his hair stand on end.
"-100, -100, -100 …"
Above Ling Chen's head, bright red numbers floated up one after another. With every second, Ling Chen's HP rapidly decreased. When he realized this, he quickly took out a bowl of rice porridge he bought in Peace Town and gulped it down. Instantly, the chill in his body and the slight dizziness in his brain lightened.
"Ding … You have consumed 'rice porridge'. Your HP will be restored by 10 points. For 10 minutes, you will be less affected by the aura of death."
"-10, -10, -10 …"
As it turned out, although the rice porridge did not taste good, its effect was not just for show. It reduced the influence of the aura of death to one-tenth. The effect was beyond Ling Chen's expectations. He glanced at Little Gray who was following behind him. In the death fog, it swaggered forward. Its spirit and state were no different from usual, and there were no numbers floating up above its head. It was not affected by this place at all.
Little Gray was a freak! Ling Chen muttered to himself, then continued to move forward. After a dozen or so meters, he stopped.
In the darkness in front of them, shadows appeared one after another, moving slowly ….
[Zombie]: Type: Undead, Level: 15, HP: 638. The body of a dead person is transformed into an undead creature under the influence of the aura of death. It is extremely disgusted by the aura of life, and will use its own hands to tear apart any form of life.
Innate Abilities: High Attack and Defense, Extremely Slow Movement Speed. Immunity to 70% Darkness-type Attacks.
Attack Style: Swings its stiff arms to hit the target. Once hit, it will deal a lot of damage.
In the black fog, one shadow after another moved slowly towards Ling Chen's direction, following the aura of life. Their bodies were a horrifying greenish-black, and their clothes were tattered. Most of their bodies had completely rotted away, and some even had their eyes dangling out of their sockets. They moved extremely slowly, taking only one step every two seconds.
The sinister environment and the frightening appearance of the zombies. If players were to discover this map, who knew how many would have the courage to step into it? Ling Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he took the initiative to rush forward. Before he even got close, he used two "Ling Tian Slashes", one to the left, and the other to the right.
Peng peng peng peng …
-642, -647, -784, -1292 …
The shockwaves released by Soaring Cloud and Zephyr Blade hit the bodies of the zombies, but the sound they made was like hitting rocks.
The bodies of these zombies were indeed quite hard, but Ling Chen's Ling Tian Slashes were able to instantly kill them without triggering a critical hit or a piercing hit. Amidst the howls that sounded like they came from the depths of hell, all the zombies within five meters of him fell to the ground. Every zombie that fell to the ground dropped … a copper coin.
Little Gray immediately ran forward, picking up all five copper coins and placing them into Ling Chen's backpack. Then, he stood beside the corpses … After staying still for two seconds, he took two steps back, and walked back behind Ling Chen gloomily. The appearance of these zombies made Little Gray have no desire to devour them.
The zombies had high attack and defense, but they were ridiculously slow. With Ling Chen's limited attack range, not a single one of these zombies could get close enough to be killed. Ling Chen carefully advanced while clearing out the zombies, going deeper and deeper step by step.
-15, -15, -15 …
Ling Chen's HP loss increased bit by bit as he ventured deeper. Ling Chen glanced above him, and slightly increased his pace. After advancing another few hundred meters, the gray smoke reduced his visibility to less than ten meters, and Ling Chen's HP loss increased to 30 per second …
If it wasn't for the rice porridge, he would have lost 300 HP per second, and would have died in three seconds.
After gulping down another large bowl of rice porridge, Ling Chen took a deep breath. In front of him, a figure covered in green smoke appeared …
[Poison Submerged Zombie]: Type: Undead, Level: 15, Grade: 1 Star Elite, HP: 1500. Due to the excessive decay of its body, it has evolved into a highly toxic zombie. It is extremely disgusted with life, and will use its own hands to tear apart any form of life.
Innate Abilities: High attack and defense, extremely slow movement speed. Dark Element: 70% Dark Attack. Any attack has a 30% chance of adding a 10 second "Poisoned" status. After being poisoned, it will lose 30 HP per second. Touching the body of the Poison Zombie will result in a 100% chance of being poisoned.
Attack Style: Swings its stiff arms to hit the target. Once hit, it will cause a large amount of damage.
The appearance of the Poison Zombies made Ling Chen's stomach feel uncomfortable. The only difference between them and normal zombies was that their bodies were contaminated with poison, and their resistance was significantly higher. However, what caught Ling Chen's attention was that the dozen or so figures in front of him were all Poison Zombies … In other words, they were all 1 Star Elites!!
A group of 1 Star Elites!
Suppressing the disgust in his heart, Ling Chen took the initiative to rush forward … Although these zombies had poison on their bodies, their movement speed was the same as normal zombies. To Ling Chen, there was no danger at all. He rushed forward and used Ling Tian's Burst to quickly sweep across. The two stacked Ling Tian's Burst would cause all the Poison Zombies within his attack range to fall to critical health. If it was a critical hit, it would instantly kill them. The second round of Ling Tian's Burst would cause all the Poison Zombies within his attack range to fall.
"Ding … You have successfully killed 1 Star Elite 'Poison Zombie', Fame + 15, Skill Points + 15."
"Ding … You have successfully killed 1 Star Elite 'Poison Zombie' …"
"Ding … You have successfully killed 1 Star Elite 'Poison Zombie' …"
… …
… …
Every time a Poison Zombie was killed, he would gain 15 Fame and 15 Skill Points. Ling Chen's attack speed was not slow at all. A group of 1 Star Elites appearing was enough to make any player lose control of themselves. Seeing the Poison Zombies fall one by one, Ling Chen suddenly thought … If the Poison Zombies appeared as normal monsters, and after dying, they would respawn like normal monsters …
Then wouldn't this place be able to farm unlimited Fame and Skill Points!?
The idea was beautiful, but it was clear that this kind of thing would not happen. When the thirtieth Poison Zombie fell, apart from the cold wind, there was no sign of the Poison Zombies. Ling Chen stood in place for a full five minutes, but no new Poison Zombies respawned. On the ground, the corpses of the Poison Zombies did not disappear even after five minutes.
Could it be that the corpses of the Poison Zombies would not disappear … But after a certain amount of time, they would stand up again under the aura of death?
Ling Chen's guess was completely correct. The corpses of all the creatures in the Ghastly Grounds would not disappear after being killed, because they were originally undead creatures. In this environment of death, after a certain amount of time, their fallen bodies would stand up again.
Ling Chen did not stop, and continued forward. After killing 30 poison-soaked zombies, he had obtained 450 reputation and 450 SP. This was a huge harvest, and he was completely satisfied.
At this time, he had already stepped into the Ghastly Grounds for half an hour, and had already passed through the central region of the Ghastly Grounds. According to the people of Peace Town, everyone who stepped into the depths of the Ghastly Grounds, and was close to the entrance of Lonely Spirit Ridge, did not return … Now, he was getting closer and closer to the place where everyone's faces changed color.
In the depths of the Ghastly Grounds, what exactly was there …
-50, -50, -50 … …
Under the aura of death, Ling Chen's life was draining faster and faster, but his footsteps were getting slower and slower. His mind was also tensed up.
