Chapter 18 Evil Spirit Puppet

Was he really going to have to step in? Qiao Yu's expression was a little troubled.

He quietly gripped the Shaking Light Knuckle Dusters in his hand. If this wooden puppet continued to approach, he would definitely not hesitate to give it a good smack.

At the critical moment, Mi Yuan stood in front of Qiao Yu and unleashed a sword strike!

The massive broadsword was clearly quite heavy, directly smashing the wooden puppet backward.

*Ka ka ka!*

The wooden puppet's mouth opened and closed, making a sound of wood colliding.

[Common Monster: Evil Spirit Puppet]

[Level: lv22]

[HP: 2200/3000]

[Strength: 198]

[Defense: 95]

[Agility: 211]

[Skill: Disguise]

[Warm Reminder: A strange wooden puppet possessed by an evil spirit. Killing it may trigger a special event.]

The Evil Spirit Puppet's stats made Qiao Yu's heart palpitate. Was this the real deal of a D-level dungeon?

The stats of a common monster were so terrifying! If this were in an E-level dungeon, it could be a mini-boss.

No wonder Principal Ji said that the difference between E-level and D-level was the difference between a chicken head and a phoenix tail.

However, this level of strength was still not enough in front of Mi Yuan.

Mi Yuan charged forward with her sword, aiming a strike at the puppet's head. The wooden puppet raised both hands, attempting to block.

*Tear!*

Both of the puppet's hands were chopped off by Mi Yuan.

The wooden puppet's mouth opened and closed, but without hands, it had no way to mount an effective counterattack.

The next moment, a flash of the sword, and the wooden puppet's head flew high.

After all, the wooden puppet was just a common monster. In front of a mid-level sword cultivator like Mi Yuan, who was level 25, it had no ability to resist.

The puppet's headless body slowly fell.

Qiao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling of clinging to a strong player... was actually pretty good!

When he cleared dungeons in the past, he had to rely on himself to fight on the front lines. This was the first time he had experienced the feeling of having a strong player to rely on.

"Mi Yuan, be careful!"

Qin Qianxue exclaimed. A translucent object rose from the wooden puppet's broken body.

Then, it pounced directly towards Mi Yuan!

Mi Yuan had just turned her head, her rosy little mouth forming an "O" shape.

The translucent object drilled directly into her mouth.

Mi Yuan lowered her head, her long black hair obscuring her face, preventing anyone from seeing her expression.

"Mi Yuan, are you okay?" Qin Qianxue asked tentatively.

"Heh heh heh!"

Mi Yuan let out a strange laugh. Her voice was very sharp, like a scream before death, making people's hearts palpitate.

Mi Yuan suddenly raised her head, staring at everyone.

It was hard for Qiao Yu to describe those eyes – evil! Pure evil, without any other impurities.

"Luo Ling Dragon Slash!"

Mi Yuan, her mind controlled, swung her broadsword at them. The golden dragon swooped down like a soul-reaping ghost.

"Attack! Kill her! She's gone mad!" Cao Shao screamed loudly.

He drew a plain dao and unhesitatingly slashed at Mi Yuan's neck.

If this strike landed, Mi Yuan would definitely become a headless female corpse.

*Clang!*

The broadsword and plain dao collided, sending Cao Shao staggering backward.

On the other side, the golden dragon crashed down, and Qiao Yu was also sent flying.

"-1080!"

A terrifying amount of damage exploded above Qiao Yu's head. He opened his mouth and coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his eyes full of shock.

The damage value of a mid-level sword cultivator was actually so terrifying!

When Mi Yuan was cutting the wooden puppet, he didn't feel it so deeply, but now that he had personally experienced her feelings, he understood more profoundly.

No wonder Ji Pingyang was so against him coming to Soul Cleansing Lake before.

*Tear!*

On the other battlefield, the battle became even more intense. Wu Chengfu, who had been secretly looking for an opportunity, slashed out with his blade, striking Mi Yuan on the shoulder.

However, facing the wound that went deep enough to see the bone, Mi Yuan seemed to have lost all sense of pain and continued to chase after Cao Shao, swinging her sword.

"Water Dragon Encirclement!"

Qin Qianxue waved her staff, and a strong water dragon wrapped around Mi Yuan, greatly reducing her speed.

However, this couldn't trap Mi Yuan at all. She spun the broadsword around herself, and the water dragon summoned by Qin Qianxue was instantly torn to pieces.

She continued to chase forward, as if determined to kill Cao Shao.

"You crazy woman!"

Cao Shao waved his plain dao, struggling to defend. He already had many sword wounds on his body.

In between fighting, he glanced at Qiao Yu out of the corner of his eye. When he saw that Qiao Yu was just watching the show, he became even more furious.

"Kid! Quickly summon undead creatures to exhaust this woman's stamina! What are you spacing out for?"

Cao Shao shouted, but this distraction caused Mi Yuan to slash at his head with her sword.

Cao Shao hurriedly lowered his head, and the broadsword swept over his head, directly giving him a receding hairline.

"Summon the undead?"

Qiao Yu's expression was a little strange. He had never tried casting undead magic since entering the Otherworld.

He took a deep breath, slowly calming the restlessness in his heart, and slowly waved his staff, as if performing some mysterious ritual.

His voice also became strange and hoarse.

"Skeleton Summoning!"

As Qiao Yu's voice fell, a gray-white skull emerged from the ground.

Then, both hands reached out of the ground, pulling the entire body out.

This was actually a skeleton warrior as tall as two meters, holding a shield and a rusty longsword.

[Common Undead: Skeleton Warrior]

[Level: lv13]

[HP: 100/100]

[Strength: 50]

[Defense: 36]

[Agility: 28]

According to the summoning rules of the Otherworld, the level of undead creatures would be equivalent to the level of the necromancer himself.

Looking at the Skeleton Warrior's stat panel, the corners of Qiao Yu's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Wasn't this thing just pure cannon fodder? No wonder "Skeleton Summoning" was an F-level skill.

"That's right! Kid, that's it! Quickly let the undead exhaust this woman's stamina!" Cao Shao was overjoyed.

Qiao Yu commanded the Skeleton Warrior to attack Mi Yuan, but the aftermath of the battle directly caused the Skeleton Warrior to disintegrate into a pile of bones, unable to even get close to Mi Yuan.

Qiao Yu: "..."

Not only him, but the others also fell silent.

Silence was the Cambridge of tonight.

Mi Yuan, her mind controlled, didn't care about any of this, and swung her broadsword like a female war god.

The terrifying fluctuations directly dispelled the sultry atmosphere of Soul Cleansing Rainforest.

Cao Shao was so angry that he wanted to curse, but Mi Yuan's continuous attacks prevented him from even opening his mouth to speak.

"Wait for me, I think I know how to play this."

Qiao Yu carefully reviewed the effects of his four existing skills.

"Skeleton Summoning" (F-level), "Withering Touch" (B-level), "Gate of Akasha" (A-level), "Voice of Van Helsing" (B-level)

"Got it!"

Qiao Yu clapped his hands. The next moment, he cast Skeleton Summoning continuously. After spending a full ten minutes, hundreds of Skeleton Warriors rose from the ground.

Cao Shao couldn't bear it any longer when he saw this.

"You can't summon something else? What's the point of summoning so much cannon fodder? Useless trash that can't even withstand the aftershocks of battle!"
