The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 704: Soulless

[Bone Stripping Technique: Consumes 10 MP to inflict weak point damage to the target (Cooldown 1S)]

[Flying Corpse Technique: Consumes 1 MP per second to perform a short burst of rapid movement, which can last up to 20s]

Li Muyang was curious about the two newly unlocked skills.

After bidding farewell to Uncle, he quietly left the house at Uncle's urging and came to the outskirts of the village.

In the wilderness, Li Muyang released the Bone Stripping Technique.

As he activated the skill, an eerie white light suddenly flew out from behind him and struck a pine tree ten meters away in an instant.

The rather sturdy pine tree snapped cleanly in two at the impact point.

"The killing power isn't bad, stronger than I expected."

He had assumed they were beginner skills, not very powerful.

But from the current situation, this attack seemed strong enough to pose a challenge even to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Li Muyang then executed the second skill, the Flying Corpse Technique.

Upon skill activation, a bizarre chill enveloped him, making him feel eerily cold.

His body felt lighter than air, as if being dragged by a pair of icy hands, becoming as light as a swallow in an instant.

Li Muyang started sprinting in the wilderness; under the effect of the Flying Corpse Technique, he could jump up to thirty feet high in a single leap, and even step on the air to rise again mid-flight.

"...Isn't this just an enhanced version of the Qinggong from Sword-X3?"

Li Muyang was not unfamiliar with this sort of thing.

After getting the hang of the two starter skills, Li Muyang headed towards the nearest red dot on the map.

The first red dot was moving around at the small riverside bend outside Qingshan Village.

Following the map's guidance, Li Muyang arrived at the gloomy riverside bend.

The water that was clear by day now bubbled and flowed, slapping against riverside rocks with a crisp sound.

Li Muyang stood by the riverside bend, stared at the murky water beneath his feet, and slightly frowned.

The map showed that the enemy was in the water.

But jumping into the water late at night?

Li Muyang was still hesitating when the evil creature beneath acted first.

Suddenly, the dark water surface roiled with ripples. Then a rotten head flew up from below.

"Fresh flesh! It's fresh flesh!"

The rotten head emitted an excited and joyful roar as it flew above the water and charged straight towards Li Muyang.

Under the night sky, this rotten head had a red health bar above it.

[Rotten Head]

The name was very crude, fitting the standard of a roadside monster and aligning with the characteristics of a newbie village.

Li Muyang immediately used [Flying Corpse Technique], and his body instantly sprang away from the spot, avoiding the rotten head's attack.

Although the rotten head was scary, in the eyes of Li Muyang, who was now in the Purple Mansion Realm, such a creature was laughably weak.

Activating the Flying Corpse Technique, Li Muyang rapidly blinked through the night sky so swiftly that afterimages seemed to appear, continuously unleashing the Bone Stripping Technique with a 1-second cooldown.

The rotten head with the health bar above screamed repeatedly but couldn't land a hit on Li Muyang, and instead, it continuously took hits from the Bone Stripping Technique unleashed by him.

Ten seconds later, the rotten head exploded violently, turning into a pile of gore.

System prompts also appeared in Li Muyang's vision.

[Rotten Head Killed]

[Current Progress: 1/3]

Li Muyang walked over to the gore on the ground, but before he could investigate, a pale dead arm suddenly reached out from behind him.

The ghastly white hand moved so fast that before Li Muyang could see clearly, the gore was snatched away.

Following that, a creepy, gnawing sound echoed behind Li Muyang.

But when he turned around, there was nothing there, empty as void.

"…This couldn't be the protagonist's parents following behind, could it?"

Li Muyang muttered to himself.

Although he was confronting demonic creatures, the protagonist's Nightwalker lineage seemed even more bizarre.

Soon, the chewing sounds behind Li Muyang disappeared, and a system notification popped up in his field of vision.

[+200XP]

Eating this rotten human head actually gave him 200 Experience Points.

Li Muyang now had a general understanding of the game's progression and the source of the protagonist's combat power.

Even though it was a bit bizarre, it was just a game after all.

He had experienced things even scarier than this.

Li Muyang continued on his way, heading towards the second enemy indicated by the map.

There were two more red dots left on the map interface.

The second red dot was in an abandoned old well behind Qingshan Village's mountain.

After arriving at the location, a white-haired arm flew out of the well.

[Rotten Right Hand]

A similarly sloppy ID, and just as surprisingly weak.

Relying on his rich combat experience, Li Muyang easily trounced the monster, taking only fifteen seconds to kill it.

The third enemy was in the woods outside Qingshan Village.

It was a gloomy cave where an ugly, hairless monkey resided.

The skinny, hairless monkey had a ferocious face and sharp fangs, with blood-red eyes.

Just by its appearance, it was the kind of creature that could scare ordinary people into nightmares.

Its health bar ID was [Bone Shattering Monkey].

This monkey was stronger, leaping back and forth in the dark cave, more troublesome than the previous two enemies.

It took Li Muyang half a minute, chasing it all over the cave before he was able to defeat it.

[Mission: Nightwalker's Awakening Completed]

[Obtained 500XP]

With the acquisition of Experience Points, a streak of white light flashed across Li Muyang's body.

With the three monsters he had previously killed, Li Muyang had leveled up twice in a row, reaching LV4.

On the skills interface, a new skill was acquired.

[Heart Break: Unleash a powerful mental attack on the target, causing 3 seconds of Chaos]

With the new skill obtained, Li Muyang looked into the gloomy cave and muttered to himself.

"...So it turns out, in addition to the Evil God spread out everywhere, the darkness of the Ancient Resentment Well also hides many weak creatures?"

These creatures hid in corners, unlike the Evil God who roamed around; one would only be attacked upon drawing close.

Was Li Muyang's current leveling path to find these weak creatures and kill them, then level up?

But if it was just about leveling up, then what was the purpose of the illustration system? What about the promised card drawing?

While pondering this, Li Muyang suddenly felt a chilly wind drifting from the depths of the cave.

Following that, a ghostly thin figure appeared before Li Muyang.

It was a little girl with disheveled hair, a vacant look in her eyes, wearing ragged white cloth.

The moment the little girl appeared, a system notification abruptly popped up in Li Muyang's field of vision.

[Warning! Warning!]

[Encountered a special entity—Soulless]

[Please defeat the Soulless and tame it!]

"...?!"

Li Muyang was shocked by this system notification.

Soulless?

Isn't that the same kind of sickness as Little Wild Grass?

Little Wild Grass was a Soulless too.

And the system is talking about... taming?

At this moment, Li Muyang instantly understood what the illustration system was for.

This damn thing isn't a card game, it's Pokémon!
