As more and more holes appeared in the iron gate, revealing the ghouls outside, Liu Nian seized the opportunity to send his spear through the gaps torn by the claws.
The ghoul outside was tearing down the door when, caught off guard, it was suddenly pierced through the chest by a spear.
Looking at his chest in disbelief, the ghoul's consciousness gradually faded, and he finally collapsed helplessly in front of the iron gate.
The spear was retracted, and a system notification sounded.
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully killing a small ghoul and gaining 20 experience points.]
With a single strike, he took down a ghoul, leaving Liu Nian momentarily disoriented.
How to put it? There was a bit of joy, but more of it was disbelief.
The gradually widening opening in the iron gate brought Liu Nian back to his senses.
"Staring blankly on the battlefield, are you tired of living?"
Perhaps it was because they could clearly see the nasty ghost, or perhaps it was because of the passing of their ghost friend, but the other ghouls were scratching at the iron gate, sending fragments flying everywhere.
Everything has its advantages and disadvantages; the expanded opening also allows Liu Nian to better utilize the spear's performance.
The gun pierced the ghoul's chest through the iron gate, and as the opening grew larger, the ghoul sustained more and more wounds.
As the iron gate collapsed with a crash, the ghoul's life came to an end.
"Squeak squeak"
The ghoul let out two unwilling cries of sorrow, and then followed its ghost friend away.
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully killing a small ghoul and gaining 20 experience points.]
Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully leveling up to level 2!
Liu Nian avoided the collapsed iron gate, rummaged through the ghoul's corpse, but found no cards.
It's impossible not to be disappointed, but at least the upgrade was finally completed, so Liu Nian quickly opened the character panel.
There are no attribute points gained from freeing up character, nor are there any attribute points that provide upgrade bonuses.
What kind of hellish difficulty is this?
Well, it seems my wish to shatter a star with a single punch is out of the question.
Let's continue reading.
The maximum mana has been increased from seventy to eighty, and mana will automatically regenerate to full.
Seeing this, Liu Nian felt a pang of heartache.
With over 40 points of magic points overflowing, how could one not feel dejected and heartbroken?
It's too late to regret it now. Liu Nian then focused his attention on the Summon Skeleton skill.
5/10, five more tries and you'll be upgraded.
If you don't use your 80 mana points, they will be wasted as they will automatically regenerate.
Anyway, I still have thirty mana points left just in case, so what's there to be afraid of?
Once I figured it out, I just did it.
With a body readily available on the rooftop, the summoning process becomes much simpler.
You can't summon any more.
You can't summon any more.
You can't summon any more.
You can't summon any more.
[Summon Skeleton lv1 upgraded to lv2]
As the system notification sounded, a brand new skeleton was summoned.
The skeleton summoned this time was harder than the one that had died in battle, and its weapon had changed from a bone knife to a rusty scythe. The most obvious change was that pale green soul fire was emerging from its eye sockets.
"Soulfire? Could this be a sentient skeleton?" Liu Nian looked at the skeleton in front of him uncertainly.
It still needs testing; I don't understand it right now.
The study of necromancy and witchcraft remained unchanged.
After closing the panel, the level 1 skeletons that Liu Nian had summoned were transformed into level 2 skeletons.
What a pleasant surprise!
There was bad news too: the rooftop where they had once lived was completely lost when the iron gate collapsed.
Liu Nian took one last, reluctant look at the rooftop before resolutely walking downstairs.
On the way downstairs, I picked up a piece of canvas and went to the fifth floor entrance, where the skeleton's remains were.
Covering the wreckage with a canvas is a way of saying we've met.
Then, with a touch of sadness, I thought about where I would be buried in the future, and who would cover my grave with such a white sheet.
There was a ghoul on the fourth floor and another on the third floor. In a three-on-one situation between the skeleton and Liu Nian, they were quickly killed on the spot.
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully killing a small ghoul and gaining 20 experience points.]
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully killing a small ghoul and gaining 20 experience points.]
Unlike the joy of gaining experience points, Liu Nian discovered that the level 2 skeleton could already understand simple commands.
Moreover, unlike the level 1 skeletons which passively sense malice, Liu Nian discovered after several tests that the level 2 skeletons could actively launch attacks.
This relieved Liu Nian. The drawback of passively sensing malice was too obvious; it made it easy for someone to take his head amidst a sea of skeletons.
Don't be skeptical. Back in the Dragon Age, there was a idiot named Night King who got his kidneys chopped off by a little girl.
Although no card was found, Liu Nian became excited because there was still one floor left to return to the exit.
With excitement, I went up to the second floor.
Following the principle that thieves never leave empty-handed, I plan to loot the supplies on the second floor.
As I stood in the second-floor corridor, watching the ghoul emerge from the shadows across the way, I found myself unable to laugh.
This ghoul was noticeably larger than the smaller ghouls, with grayish-black skin, two horns on its forehead, and four large, protruding canines that sent chills down one's spine.
"Elite unit." Years of gaming experience allowed Liu Nian to react quickly.
"attack"
With a wave of his hand, he commanded the two skeletons to advance forward.
I wanted to test the ghoul's skills first, but I never expected that this ghoul would be so uncivilized. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed one of the skeletons whole in an instant.
"This...is this cheating?"
"So this is an instant kill technique? Luckily I didn't rush forward rashly, otherwise I might have been the one who got killed." Liu Nian felt a wave of fear.
The remaining skull scythe slashed horizontally, determined to disembowel the ghoul.
With a clang, the ghoul swung its claws to block the scythe.
While the ghouls were busy dealing with the skeletons, Liu Nian secretly lit a Molotov cocktail and threw it at the ghouls at the right moment.
The ghoul was using its size advantage to suppress the skeleton when the human opposite it, showing no mercy, actually launched a sneak attack.
"Smack!"
The bottle exploded on the ghoul's chest, instantly igniting large patches of its skin.
The ghoul, in pain, swung its claws, and with great force, the skeleton was sent flying in the blink of an eye, falling to the side of the corridor.
Seeing that things were not going well, Liu Nian went back upstairs.
The ghoul hesitated for a few seconds before chasing after the creature that had injured it.
After only a few rounds of fighting, Liu Nianfang was completely defeated.
A skeleton was swallowed, but there was no notification that it had been killed; it probably hadn't been digested yet.
The whip that had fallen to the ground was too far to reach.
The more disadvantaged you are, the more you need to stay calm; Liu Nian's mind raced.
In the chase, they had already reached the seventh floor.
Remembering the corpse in the stairwell on the seventh floor, Liu Nian instantly had a solution.
Instead of going upstairs, she turned the doorknob and ran into the stairwell.
Seconds later, the wooden door was smashed open by the ghoul, and the smell of a large pile of food in front of it made it hesitate.
Seeing this, Liu Nian, who was hiding in the shadows, knew that his opportunity had come.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Nian quickly pulled out a Molotov cocktail, lit it, and threw it at the pile of corpses.
The ghoul beside the corpse never dreamed that this meal was actually bait.
It turns out that Liu Nian had doused the body with gasoline before going downstairs to prevent any accidents.
Unexpectedly, the upgraded skeleton became much more powerful, but I haven't needed to use it yet.
It was only when they suddenly encountered this larger ghoul that it came in handy.
The pile of corpses, set ablaze, instantly enveloped the ghoul.
Just to be on the safe side, Liu Nian no longer hesitated, took out the remaining Molotov cocktails from his briefcase, lit them, and threw them at the ghouls struggling in the flames.
