"This..."
Ye Ling saw the "0" floating above the gray-robed walker's head, and his mouth twitched. He really hadn't expected such a situation to occur.
He knew there was a vast difference in strength between Daisy and the gray-robed walker, so he used his ink to manipulate the gray-robed walker's thoughts, precisely controlling the walker's HP to the last point...
Even if Daisy had a forced trigger of "-1," the gray-robed walker would have been dead. However, Ye Ling had calculated everything except that Daisy couldn't even break through the gray-robed walker's defense!
Daisy was also a bit embarrassed at this moment. She looked at Ye Ling and scratched her head in confusion, unsure how to face this.
Ye Ling had almost directly shoved the meal into her stomach; she just needed to digest it. But in the end, she couldn't even digest it!
"My Lord... what should we do now?" Daisy asked guiltily. "I don't deserve this power. Why don't you take his experience?"
"What use do I have for experience?" Ye Ling held his forehead, quite troubled. "Wait a moment, let me think of a way. You try using a knife."
"Oh..."
Daisy replied weakly, then took out a small knife from her backpack and stabbed at the gray-robed walker again!
*Clang!*
The gray-robed walker still took no damage. Instead, the knife in Daisy's hand shattered!
Under the rules of this game world, the level difference between Daisy and the gray-robed walker was too great. No matter what means Daisy used, she couldn't inflict any damage on the gray-robed walker!
The gray-robed walker, who thought he was surely going to die, burst into laughter when he saw Daisy couldn't kill him: "Hahaha! So this girl is really only level twenty, she doesn't even have true damage skills, just a big fireball spell. Trying to kill me is a pipe dream!"
"Kid, if the level difference exceeds thirty, attacks become completely ineffective. You're dreaming if you think that girl can ascend to heaven in one step!"
The gray-robed walker laughed, unreservedly mocking Ye Ling.
"Exceeds thirty levels, and attacks become completely ineffective?"
Hearing the gray-robed walker's words, Ye Ling's heart stirred slightly. He looked at the legendary serpent Barton hidden in the lake.
Besides the level seventy gray-robed walker, there was also a level fifty legendary serpent in this hidden dungeon!
The level difference between Daisy and Barton was just thirty. Daisy should be able to damage Barton.
Even if she could only deplete one drop of Barton's blood, Ye Ling had a way to make Daisy kill Barton.
Barton was level fifty. If Daisy killed him, it would be enough to bring the level difference between herself and the gray-robed walker within thirty.
Barton felt Ye Ling's murderous gaze and trembled. He quickly said, "M-My Lord, I have a way to help that girl kill the gray-robed walker. You don't need to dirty your hands with my blood!"
"Tell me, what way do you have?" Ye Ling looked at Barton playfully and asked with a smile.
He just needed to let Daisy's level exceed fifty. This legendary serpent was merely a bonus experience pack; killing him or not was optional.
Barton dared not hide anything. He swam to the edge of the lake, painfully pulled out one of his venomous fangs, personally polished it into a staff, and respectfully presented it to Daisy.
"This staff, crafted from my venomous fang, is called the冥蛇之牙 (Nether Serpent's Fang). It comes with the divine skill '弑神之毒' (Godslayer's Poison), whose power is not related to the user's level. As long as you use this staff, you can poison the gray-robed walker to death!"
Daisy took the staff and felt an infinite power contained within it. The skill "弑神之毒" automatically appeared in her mind.
"This is a divine artifact!"
The moment Daisy learned the skill "弑神之毒," she realized that the staff she received was the rarest divine artifact in the world!
Every divine artifact came with its own skills, and with divine artifact skills, killing opponents of higher levels was as easy as flipping a hand.
Suddenly obtaining such a precious treasure, Daisy subconsciously looked at Ye Ling, feeling that the冥蛇之牙 was incredibly hot to hold.
This was not something she could possess.
However, Ye Ling's expression remained unchanged, as if the divine artifact were just a worthless wooden stick.
"Try it. If this staff can't kill the gray-robed walker, then proceed with my original plan," Ye Ling said to Daisy.
"It definitely will! Believe me!" Barton said quickly, afraid his power would be useless.
Seeing Ye Ling nod, Daisy no longer hesitated. She brandished the staff and used her newly learned skill.
"弑神之毒!"
Daisy let out a soft cry, and the tip of the冥蛇之牙 lit up with a green light, as if a venomous snake had opened its eyes, emitting a captivating glow.
The gray-robed walker felt the threat posed by the冥蛇之牙, fear reappearing in his eyes. He trembled and said, "Don't, don't kill me! I have a way to help you level up quickly! I can even help you become a god! As long as you spare me..."
*Swish!*
Before the gray-robed walker could finish speaking, the冥蛇之牙 shot out a green light, striking the gray-robed walker's head!
"Aaaahhhhhh!"
The moment the green light entered the gray-robed walker's head, he let out a piercing scream. His face contorted completely, and blood began to flow from his seven orifices. He appeared to be experiencing extreme agony.
"-1000!"
"-1000!"
"-1000!"
A large number of digits flashed above the gray-robed walker's head. His HP was instantly depleted, but the torment did not stop.
The gray-robed walker's screams grew more and more miserable. He began to writhe on the ground, looking as if the venom had affected his physical body in the nutrient pod.
"M-My Lord..."
Seeing the terrifying state of the gray-robed walker, Daisy instinctively took a few steps back, her face extremely pale. Her eyes looked at Ye Ling with a plea for help.
This was the first time she had seen someone whose HP bar was empty but not dead.
Ye Ling's brow was also tightly furrowed, staring intently at the gray-robed walker, seemingly deep in thought.
After Daisy used the divine skill inherent to the divine artifact, he had deliberately left the virtual world to take a look. He found that the gray-robed walker in the nutrient pod had also been poisoned and was in great pain.
Even when the butchers and others before were reduced to ashes, their physical bodies in reality were not affected. It was only when the nutrient pods actively discharged electricity to destroy their brains and souls and seize their power.
But now, Ye Ling discovered that skills in the virtual world could have the same effect on people in reality... this meant something completely different.
If the virtual world and reality merged, it would mean that this game world was also reality!
"This game world... could it be another spacetime of the Primordial Chaos? What exactly is that Primordial Wisdom King planning?"
Ye Ling murmured, lost in thought.
