Tokyo underground city

Chapter 3 Killing the Curse (Part 1)

After getting off the elevator, what appeared in front of Lin Huai'en was a long corridor. At the end of the corridor was an underground city cave.

The cave is not large in area. Near the entrance, a large area of ​​purple-red luminous crystal extends.

Looking at the crystal, Lin Huai'en was not surprised, but instead became more vigilant.

According to Wilderness House, luminous crystals are a common decorative sight in underground caves. Apart from their weak lighting function, they have basically no value at all. It is a "trap treasure" that can easily mislead new explorers - it looks precious, but is actually worthless.

Since it is a "trap", there will be something that brings danger.

Lin Huai'en looked intently, and sure enough, he saw two inconspicuous animal bones on the ground in front of the crystal.

Turn on your phone and point it at the animal bones on the ground. Soon, the identification results came from the offline database——

[Wolf-shaped Cursed Skeleton]

[Basic monsters in cursed dungeons, threat level: 1.3]

[Also known as the 'cursed corpse wolf'. When no creature is encountered, it appears as an ordinary corpse or skeleton. When the creature approaches, it will be transformed into a complete cursed body within three seconds. It looks like a black wolf and is immune to most physical damage. , it will disappear only if the skeletal part is attacked or the power of the curse is reduced. Recommended number of people to deal with: 2 to 3 people. 】

[Recommended coping tools: Healing potion]

Seeing the monster data displayed on the "Wildness Assistant", Lin Huaien couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He knew that dark dungeons were much more difficult than ordinary dungeons, but he still didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

Common first-level dungeon monsters are mostly giant marmots, parasols, or skeleton guards with threat levels between 0.2 and 0.4. Compared to cursed wolves, which have a threat level of around 1.3, they can be said to be as harmless as house cats. .

"But...are there any recommended countermeasures...healing potions..."

Looking at the line of small words at the bottom of the picture book, Lin Huai'en pondered for a moment, took out the healing potion he had purchased online and put it in his hand.

This is a bottled potion that exudes a golden-white light. When applied to a wound, it can quickly stop bleeding, prevent infection, and greatly speed up the recovery of the wound. However, drinking it has no effect.

"It's more like holy water than a healing potion..."

He corrected his understanding of the healing potion in his mind and poured a small drop of the healing potion onto the dagger.

But the golden droplets slipped down, fell to the ground, and disappeared without any reaction.

"Ah this..."

Lin Huai'en was stunned: "This thing is like water, and it cannot be attached to the blade. It is said that it can be used to deal with cursed bones, but how to use it? Is it possible to throw it like a grenade?"

He shook his head and put the healing potion back into his backpack.

But he suddenly froze.

He looked at the vial in his hand, and then at the two motionless skeletons in the distance:

"Could it really be thrown?!"

He weighed the vial in his hand——

The size of a fist and a round papaya shape, the outer wall of the glass bottle is scaly like a grenade. It feels like if it is thrown to the ground or hits a hard object, it will break into pieces and fly everywhere.

"This shape really looks like a grenade... but a bottle of healing potion costs more than 700 yuan..."

Lin Huai'en weighed the vial in his hand, looked at the two skeletons in front of him and the passage without any forks behind it, and finally made up his mind:

"Forget it! It's just a bottle of healing potion! I still have another bottle, it doesn't matter if you give it a try, right? If it doesn't work, just run away! With the attack power of the cursed skeleton, it shouldn't be able to kill me!"

He took a few steps closer, found a safe distance, and threw the healing potion away like water.

The medicine bottle fell to the ground and exploded instantly, covering one of the skeletons.

Following the weird wailing, the white bones on the ground emitted scaly black mist. As soon as the black mist came into contact with the potion, it emitted a violent ablation sound and was annihilated with a hiss.

But even so, the cursed skeleton still struggled, revealing its shapeless body, but this body seemed to have had a large piece of flesh and blood cut off. After a few seconds, it suddenly collapsed and turned into white bones again.

And the moment this cursed corpse disappeared, another cursed corpse next to it also heard a sad howl, and a large amount of black mist emerged, transforming into another huge black wolf with creepy fur. !

"Oops! I missed the target and only hit one of them!"

Before he had time to take out another bottle of healing potion, Lin Huai'en hurriedly drew his sword and held the shield in front of him. The next second, the black wolf rushed in front of him and bit him!

He swung his sword, but it missed the target. The arm holding the shield was bitten by the cursed skeleton, but he had no time to react.

Just when he was lucky that because of the barrier of the rattan shield, only a small part of the wolf's fang penetrated his arm. Suddenly, there was an extremely terrifying pain at the place where he was bitten, and he couldn't help but scream out. Sound, fell to the ground.

He had never felt such terrible pain, even if he accidentally hit his finger with a hammer, it could not compare with it.

The feeling was like some kind of pungent and burning venom being injected into his body. In the blink of an eye, it spread along his arms and spinal cord, barely stopping there before entering his brain.

It blocked his perception of everything in his body except "pain".

Lin Huai'en felt something bad in his heart. He tore his arm apart with all his strength and just relied on instinct to run backwards. The lingering black mist followed closely behind him, accompanied by a rapid stamping sound.

"Damn it! Why does it hurt so much?! I've never heard of a monster on the first floor being so strong?!"

He recalled the videos he had watched in his mind - most of the first-level monsters in the forum gave people a feeling of being weak and easy to bully, and they were definitely not one-tenth as powerful as the curse behind him!

Holding back the severe pain, Lin Huaien opened the [Properties Panel]——

After killing the first cursed skeleton, he felt the mysterious power in the dungeon and became a true dungeon explorer.

And this means that he can finally open his "real properties panel"!

【Lin Huaien】

【Level Lv.1】

[Number of deepest exploration levels: 1]

[Muscle strength (evaluation G): 0.78]

[Tough internal organs (Rating G): 0.77]

[Nerve reflex (evaluation G): 0.79]

[Thinking memory (evaluation G+): 0.95]

[Magic quality (evaluation G): 0.5]

Looking at the light film-like substance revealed in the void in front of him, Lin Huai'en couldn't help grinning:

"Except for [Thinking and Memory], all attributes are below average... As expected of me!"

He was well prepared for the attribute values ​​in front of him. After all, you can't expect a civil servant who sits in an office all day long, especially one who has been working as a squatter at home for half a year, to perform well in terms of physical fitness.

The most important thing is that with the upgrade, he gets 0.5 free talent points!

"There's only one way to save me now!"

Lin Huai'en took a deep breath, put all his talent points into [Nerve Reflex], turned around, and stopped.

The giant black wolf behind him also stopped with ease.
