Chapter 117

Chapter 117

His vision allowed him to see clearly within a hundred meters. Suddenly, a dark figure flashed beside him, arriving before him in the blink of an eye. It was a monster shaped like a mermaid, with a black tail and a pair of black tentacles sprouting from its head.

The monster stood still, and in an instant, a massive bubble enveloped both Qin Han and itself. Surprisingly, there was air inside the bubble.

The monster revealed a sinister smile. "I suppose you’re here for the Golden Spirit Crystal?"

Qin Han remained expressionless. "Yes. Do you know where it is?"

The monster replied, "Of course. I can guide you, but you’ll have to pay me 100 Gold Coins first."

Qin Han said, "How do I know you won’t just take my money and leave? How about you take me there first? Once I confirm its location, I’ll pay you."

The monster seemed to ponder for a moment. "Fine. But first, show me the 100 Gold Coins to prove you can pay."

Qin Han generously took out the money.

The moment the monster saw it, its face lit up with excitement. "Good, good! Hold onto my tail, and I’ll swim you over."

Qin Han did as instructed.

Instantly, a powerful current surged around the monster, and the two of them shot forward like a rapid drift, speeding through the water.

Half an hour later, they arrived beside an underwater house. From the outside, the interior was brightly lit, and on the central table lay a golden crystal ball.

"Go on, it’s right there. Take it!" the monster urged. "But first, hand over the 100 Gold Coins."

Qin Han shook his head. "Not until I have it in my hands. How do I know it’s real?"

The monster narrowed its eyes. "You’re quite cautious. Fine, I’ll indulge you. Go ahead."

Everything seemed to be going smoothly—aside from the expense of 100 Gold Coins, there were no obstacles. Qin Han acted as if it were nothing, stepping into the room without hesitation.

But the moment his hand touched the golden crystal ball, it suddenly shattered.

Countless Vengeful Spirits burst forth, filling the room with a howling gale. The doors and windows slammed shut instantly, trapping Qin Han inside with a swarm of terrifying, ghost-faced spirits lunging at him.

Outside, the monster drooled greedily. "It’s been so long since I’ve tasted human flesh. This time, I’ll feast to my heart’s content!"

Inside the house, Qin Han deliberately suppressed the Witch Poison Pearl’s protective function and instead drew the Godslayer Bow, firing arrows at the surrounding ghosts.

Yet, even though the arrows ignored Defense, they passed harmlessly through the Spirits, dealing no damage.

The monster outside chuckled darkly. "Useless. Physical attacks can’t harm Spirits. What an idiot. Just give up and surrender your life to me!"

Inside, Qin Han remained utterly calm.

He had only wanted to test whether the Godslayer Bow in its current state could harm Spirits. After all, a fully realized Unique Treasure should theoretically ignore all attributes and annihilate everything.

But based on the experiment just now...

At its current Dark Gold-grade, the Godslayer Bow clearly deals no damage to Spirits!

"It seems specialized tasks require specialized tools."

Without haste, he unsealed the Witch Poison Pearl.

With a resounding boom, a luminous barrier materialized before him.

Every Spirit that made contact instantly dissipated into nothingness.

"Spirit damage detected. Automatically absorbing."

"Two complementary Witch skills detected. Can be fused and upgraded. Confirm?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Han immediately responded, "Confirm upgrade."

"Skill fusion and upgrade initiated. Witch Poison Pearl updating."

Soon, the attributes of the Witch Poison Pearl underwent another transformation:

Witch Poison Pearl: Unique Treasure.

Feeds on Witch Poison, the bane of all Witch Poisons in existence.

Attacks inflict 200 poison damage per second for 10 seconds.

Skill: Weak Water Domain (Area Damage)

Drags all enemies within a kilometer into the Weak Water, rendering them powerless (effectiveness reduced against elite Bosses and above). Deals 500 damage per second for one minute.
