Chapter 178

Halfway there, there were indeed more and more human corpses!

At least a dozen people had died here.

Their wounds were all identical.

Everyone had frostbite-like lacerations on their chests.

As if... they were wounds caused by some sharp weapon condensed from cold ice.

Moreover, the corpses all had blackened faces, as if their life force had been sucked dry.

On the ice surface halfway there, there were large amounts of blood, forming a stream of ice that wound forward.

It happened to point the way for Su Ming!

After spending over an hour, Su Ming finally arrived!

This was a peculiar mountain forest.

All around were bamboo forests condensed from ice and snow.

The transparent, tall bamboo looked lifelike, like one ice sculpture after another.

But the edges of these bamboo stalks were sharp, as if they had been intentionally carved by someone.

Su Ming looked closely!

In the center of that bamboo forest was his platinum treasure chest!

The treasure chest was embedded beneath the ice surface in the center, bright and new.

However, Su Ming hadn't had time to rush up and open this treasure chest.

Suddenly, a gaunt, skeletal corpse walked out slowly from ahead.

It was different from other skeletons.

Its whole body was filled with a dangerous aura, and its sense of oppression was extremely strong.

In a pair of blood-red eyes, killing intent flickered.

Its limbs were slender.

Two withered hands each gripped a long sword.

Su Ming recognized it at a glance.

This skeleton... was exactly the skeleton marked in the treasure map's name.

【Red-Eyed Sword Skeleton (Elite Monster)】

【Bloodline: Undead】

【Level: 31】

【Strength: 484】

【Constitution: 302】

【Agility: 508】

【Spirit: 108】

【Luck: 58】

【Talent: Undying Body (After it dies, its bones will gradually re-condense and return to life, unless it is severely damaged again during the resurrection process)】

【Skill: Dual-Wield Mastery (It was a powerful dual-wielding swordsman in life, and after death, it still possesses the powerful strength to master dual swords. It can wield both swords simultaneously!)】

【Undead Nerve (It cannot perceive any pain, and its combat power will never fluctuate due to pain)】

【Dual-Sword Frenzied Combo (Unleashes ultra-fast attacks with dual swords)】

【Corpse Poison Sword Qi (The wounds cut by its blade will immediately rot, causing corpse poison to attack the heart)】

【Heart of Decay (It is a relatively powerful type of undead bloodline monster; it can resurrect at a faster speed after death)】

【Soul-Severing Sword Form (The sword techniques it learned in life; the flow of the dual swords is fierce!)】

【...】

【Introduction: It was once an awakened player of the undead race in life, but after it died, it fell into a mindless wandering soul. It has no emotions and only wants to slaughter any enemy who dares to approach this ice bamboo forest it carved with its own hands!】

Su Ming's eyes were slightly startled.

This wild monster was actually a player in life!

A class-changer just like him!

That's right, among the myriad races, there is the undead race.

They are one of the high-intelligence races, naturally possessing powerful undead magic talent.

Their spirit attribute is very high, even comparable to elves.

Coupled with the race's unique resurrection ability, this leads to their combat power far exceeding humans after awakening.

But this race also has flaws. Because they are a half-dead race, they have no life force and cannot cultivate any skills related to life force.

Moreover, during the resurrection process after death, if disturbed, they may fall into mindless undead remains.

The red-eyed dual-sword skeleton before him was clearly one of those that had fallen.

It was equivalent to a dead warrior.

It was no different from a wild monster; it was a beast that only knew how to kill!

There were no emotions of any intelligent creature!

There would be absolutely no psychological burden when killing it!

Su Ming directly pulled out the Long Xiang broken sword from his waist!

To deal with such a third-turn monster, one must be cautious!

So as soon as Su Ming arrived, he used his most powerful sword.

He had originally thought it was some other monster, but he hadn't expected it to be the Red-Eyed Sword Skeleton himself.

After it died, it could still fight, protecting its treasure.

The treasure map indeed only marked the location; it didn't mean it was safe here.

Su Ming had been mentally prepared, and he hadn't even moved his body yet.

This red-eyed skeleton, however, took the first step and lunged over fiercely!

Its figure was fast to the extreme.

Afterimages were stretched into a long line.

In its mouth, the clicking sound unique to bones was emitted, and its footsteps rushed forward.

The long sword in its left hand looked like it was forged from thousand-year profound ice, appearing as thin as a cicada's wing, absolutely sharp to the extreme.

And the long sword in its right hand was pitch black, looking like a heavy sword forged from obsidian, appearing to have extraordinary power.

The two swords had completely different styles, but both were powerfully formidable.

A gray, decaying sword light slashed toward Su Ming.

Su Ming didn't retreat half a step, meeting it head-on!

The Long Xiang broken sword in his hand slashed out fiercely.

Draw-Sword Instant Slash!

His figure turned into a deep blue sword shadow, crossing over.

The terrifying sword qi was in the air, almost tearing the air apart.

The decaying sword qi slashed out by the dual-sword skeleton was completely shattered by Su Ming in an instant!

In its deep, blood-red eyes, a hint of shock appeared.

It had slaughtered so many humans, yet it had never seen such a powerful swordsman!

Under the 20-fold sword technique power and speed bonus of the Origin Sword Body, even if there was a gap in values between Su Ming and this skeleton, he could still easily contend with it! ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
