Chapter 15

"A level 15 monster has 2,000 experience points, which is several times higher than the same level!"

Zhang Yuan received the prompt, and a flash of excitement flashed through his heart.

Killing a monster here is equivalent to killing several monsters outside, and it is also a one-shot kill, not slow.

Leveling up in this dungeon may be a good choice.

Continuing to go deeper into the dungeon, Zhang Yuan encountered several more Shadow Forest Giants, easily defeated them, and his experience increased rapidly.

During this period, Zhang Yuan also encountered other monsters, but their attributes were similar to those of the Shadow Forest Giants, and they were also killed in one second.

Zhang Yuan pushed forward all the way, and when he came to the deepest part of the dungeon, the experience bar had reached 70%, and the upgrade speed was abnormal.

In the depths of the Shadow Forest, there is a gray altar. There are many corpses hanging on the dead trees around the altar. The overall environment is quite bloody and weird.

There are a lot of candles on the altar, and in the center of the altar is a scarecrow tied to a cross, which looks like the boss of this dungeon.

Shadow Scarecrow

Use the Eye of the Abyss

【Shadow Scarecrow (Boss)】

【Level: 16】

��Strength: 0】

【Agility: 0】

【Spirit: 10000】

【Constitution: 0】

【Skills: Mental Storm, Death Curse, Resurrection】

"10,000 spirits?"

Zhang Yuan saw the boss's attributes, and a perverted smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The attributes of this boss are indeed terrible. If the general team does not know the situation, it is estimated that it is easy to be wiped out.

However, Zhang Yuan has a special weapon, Chi Xiao.

And one of the passives of Chi Xiao makes the holder immune to mental attacks!

It can be said that Zhang Yuan's special weapon is very strong against this mental boss! The shadow scarecrow was motionless on the altar, looking harmless.

Zhang Yuan was not soft-hearted and immediately controlled the iron sword to attack. The shadow scarecrow's strength and physique were both 0, so it should be easy to kill it instantly.

But when Zhang Yuan pierced the shadow scarecrow with the iron sword, the kill prompt did not appear.

A circle of green light lit up on the shadow scarecrow, and the wound on its body disappeared.

"Skill resurrection?"

Zhang Yuan saw this and tried to attack a few more times, but the Shadow Scarecrow would still revive and could not be killed.

"It is confirmed that it is a strange mechanism. There should be other ways to kill it."

Zhang Yuan gave up the physical kill and focused his attention on the altar. He found that there were four thick candles on the four corners of the edge of the altar.

"Could it be related to those candles?"

Zhang Yuan tried to extinguish a candle, and the phantom scarecrow suddenly let out a piercing scream.

Skill: Mental Storm.

The terrifying wind and waves spread out in all directions, and Chi Xiao immediately condensed a red barrier around Zhang Yuan to block the attack of the phantom scarecrow.

"Psychic attacks really don't work on me."

Zhang Yuan saw that the Shadow Scarecrow attacked him after he extinguished the candles, so he realized that he was on the right track and immediately went to extinguish the other candles.

Every time Zhang Yuan extinguished a candle, the Shadow Scarecrow would launch a mental storm.

When Zhang Yuan extinguished the last candle, the Shadow Scarecrow did not launch a mental storm, but began to twist and scream, and then exploded!

A death ray shot at Zhang Yuan.

Skill: Death Curse!

If not purified for one minute, you will die immediately.

Chi Xiao's passive was activated, blocking the last attack of the Shadow Scarecrow

【Successfully killed Shadow Scarecrow, experience +20000】

【Obtain the equipment curse necklace. 】

The kill prompt appeared, but Zhang Yuan was still frightened.

If he didn't have the passive immunity to mental attacks, then in order to pass this dungeon, he must have a professional with purification skills such as a paladin or a priest present, otherwise once he was cursed with death, he would definitely die!

"If I write this information into a guide and give it to the Adventurer's Association, I should be able to exchange it for a lot of money and save a lot of people."

Zhang Yuan silently took note of this, and then checked his newly acquired equipment.

【Cursed Necklace (Special Accessory): Spirit +500, the holder gains the skill Spirit Storm, and suffers a mental curse at the same time, Strength -250, Constitution -250, no equipment level limit】

【Note: One of the three cursed sets】

【Mental Storm: Launches a large-scale mental howl, causing 10 times the amount of mental damage to each enemy.】

"The cursed necklace has exaggerated added and deducted attributes, and has no equipment level restrictions. It is a special equipment like Chi Xiao.……"

Zhang Yuan was a little confused when he saw the attributes of the cursed necklace.

His sword damage is related to his mental power. The addition of 500 mental power is equivalent to a 17-level attribute increase, and the skill Mental Storm also makes up for his lack of group attack.

Although his constellation 4 has splash damage, the splash damage is only 10%. When the health of monsters increases in the later stage, his splash damage is not enough.

Even now, his single splash damage can't kill elite monsters in seconds.

But the group attack skill is different. The effect of his constellation 4 is that for every enemy attacked in the sword formation, other enemies will receive 10% splash damage, which means that the more enemies his group attack skill attacks, the higher the superimposed splash damage.

For more than 10 enemies, the splash damage directly exceeds the damage of the skill itself!

For him, Mental Storm is a magical skill for clearing miscellaneous soldiers in a large area.

However, the deduction of 250 strength and physique is also quite annoying. His current strength is 230 and physique is 165. Wearing this necklace, his attributes are directly deducted to negative numbers. If he is not careful, he will be cursed to death on the spot.

If he wants to wear this cursed necklace, he must be at least level 30 or above

"No, the mental curse of this necklace...should it also be considered a mental attack?"

Zhang Yuan suddenly noticed the blind spot. This cursed necklace will curse the holder, and his special weapon Chi Xiao can make him immune to mental attacks.

According to Chi Xiao's performance just now, the mental storm and death curse of the Shadow Scarecrow are useless to him. Logically speaking... Chi Xiao should be able to offset the mental curse of this cursed necklace.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan immediately decided to try wearing the necklace. If it doesn't work, he can just take it off.

After putting on the cursed necklace, Zhang Yuan only felt a chill on his neck and his vision became much clearer. Apart from that, he had no other feelings.

Zhang Yuan immediately checked his attributes

【Name: Zhang Yuan】

【Occupation: Sword Master (only)】

【Rating: 13 (82.00%)】

【Strength: 230】

【Agility: 165】

【Spirit: 990】

【Physical fitness: 165】

【Special attributes of the profession: Critical hit rate (22%), critical hit damage (220%)】

【Talents: Absolute Luck (Level 1), I am a Sword Master (Level 1), Eye of the Abyss】

【Equipment: Iron Sword Box (10/10), Divine Sword Chixiao, Imperial Special Merit Badge, Cursed Necklace】

【Skills: Sword Formation (Level 3), Sword Control (Level 3), Sword Formation Space, Poison Resistance (Level 1), Mental Storm】

【Constellation: Sixth Life]

Mental power increased by 500, strength and physique did not decrease, the guess was correct!

"Special weapons are worthy of being special weapons. They are immune to mental attacks. Doesn't that mean I can ignore the negative effects and wear cursed equipment?"

Zhang Yuan was immediately happy when he saw that Chi Xiao could really offset the negative effects of the cursed necklace.

You know, the cursed necklace has a note that it is one of the three cursed sets!

If he collects the cursed set, he will get a powerful bonus while ignoring the negative effects. He doesn't know how strong he can be!

When Zhang Yuan was excited, a brand new treasure chest appeared in the center of the altar.

Zhang Yuan stepped forward to open it, and colorful lights lit up in the treasure chest.

【Obtain God's Stone*1】

【The first time you clear the nightmare-level Shadow Forest dungeon, you will be rewarded with the Cursed Ring. 】
