Song Jian looked at the group of monsters cautiously. They were only level 20 ordinary monsters, their blood-red names indicating that they were the kind which actively attacked.
•LV20 Tunnel Wraith (Ordinary), Vitality PointsilOO/llOO, Traits: Ethereal
Body, Skills: Claw Clash”
There were seventeen or eighteen of these Tunnel Wraiths. Given their strength, they could easily take down a team of five level 15 players. But the passageway was narrow and they could not all attack at once. Song Jian only had to face two Tunnel Wraiths at a time, significantly reducing the pressure on him.
He summoned the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword and smashed a Weakness Potion at the feet of a Tunnel Wraith, causing a red flame to burst forth from the sword. All of Song Jian’s attacks turned into flame damage, which inflicted bonus damage on ghost-type monsters.
Broken Wing Dance!
Swinging his sword, Song Jian charged at the group of Tunnel Wraiths. Despite grappling with level 20 monsters and being suppressed by a gap of five levels, Song Jian’s attack power greatly exceeded that of ordinary level 15 players. He unleashed a series of skills, and above the Wraiths, a string of damage figures floated up.
Just then, it struck him that holy attacks seemed to harm ghost-type monsters even more. Song Jian had a load of Mutated Soul Seeds in his bag. Using it would increase his holy damage by thirty points for 30 seconds, and these seeds could be used in combination as well.
After trying one, a faint golden glow blossomed around him. When a Tunnel Wraith tried to attack him, its black claws touched the golden glow and began to smoke.
Roar-
The wraith let out a mournful scream and retreated. The pressure the Mutated Soul Seed put on them seemed even harsher than Song Jian had anticipated.
This made the battle much simpler. The wraiths started fearing him and huddled together. The battle lasted only three minutes, after which all the Tunnel Wraiths had been wiped out by Song Jian and turned into a pile of black
ash.
-Level one Ghost Pearls?” Only three Ghost Pearls were dropped from a dozen of the monsters, which made Song Jian’s face twitch a little.
“These should fetch a decent price as forging materials since they can increase the shadow resistance of equipment.” He thought to himself, and stashed the three Ghost Pearls in his bag.

Points;

Points;
A string of more than ten experience points appeared in Song Jian’s system notifications. With the Mutated Soul Seeds, the monsters here were almost the same as level ten monsters, but the experience points were ten times more. Song Jian’s experience bar had filled up quite a bit, reaching level 15 and 29%. This leveling speed was much faster than farming level 20 ordinary monsters outside.
just then, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword dazzling gold light exploded, shooting out from Song Jian’s hand and piercing into the tunnel’s ceiling above him.
Song Jian watched the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword trembling constantly. It seemed like it was trying to break free from the tunnel. A look of surprise crossed his face: “Is it going to level up again?”
The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword was able to grow during battles. Currently, its item level was 2, but its attributes were already better than many level ten silver-quality weapons. Now that it had leveled up again, it would definitely become even stronger, and Song Jian was filled with anticipation.
In a flash, the tunnel was filled with golden light, and a ray of light shot out from the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword. It seemed to be unhappy because it was unable to ascend into the air, so it flew reluctantly back to Song Jian’s hand, continuously vibrating and making a buzzing sound.
Song Jian gently stroked the blade, comforting the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, and proceeded to examine its attributes.
“Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword (Gold), One-handed Sword, Equipment Effect: Attack 70-95, Armor Break+5. Penetration+5, Fire Attribute Damage+50, Swing Speed Increase 18%; Special Effect 1: Ownership (Passive), this item uses the user’s blood to recognize its owner, after ownership has been claimed, the item cannot be destroyed, lost, or degraded; Special Effect 2: Growth (Passive), This item is a growth-type equipment, its initial level is level 1, it gains battle experience from battles to level up, the higher the level, the stronger the item attributes, the item level cannot exceed the user’s level; Special Effect 3: Ignore Level Suppression +5- Equipment Requirement: Level 31 Set: 1/5. Can it be taken out of the game: No”
The attributes had greatly improved and a new effect, “Ignore Level Suppression +5,” had been added. It was as if it had been tailored specifically for Song Jian.
Now, with Song Jian’s strength, he could easily hunt monsters of the same level without feeling any pressure or challenge. He often came into contact with monsters above his level. Therefore, this new effect allowed Song Jian to bring out his full strength when facing level 20 monsters. He was no longer constrained by the level suppression effect. This effect was a perfect fit for
Song Jian.
He swung the dark red long sword in his hand – it had become a bit heavier after leveling up, but it was easier to wield. Song Jian nodded, satisfied.
He continued on his way. The tunnel was winding and seemed to descend all the time. Half an hour later, Song Jian finally reached the end of the secret passageway and saw the exit.
The whole tunnel was quite long. Along the way, Song Jian encountered five or six waves of Tunnel Wraiths’ attacks. But with the aid of the Mutated Soul Seed, these Tunnel Wraiths became Song Jian’s battle experience. Moreover, they exploded and dropped more than a dozen level one Ghost Pearls, which left him speechless.
Although there were not many spoils of war, the battle experience was rich. It brought Song Jian’s experience bar up to level 15 and 78%. After a few more times, he would be able to level up to 16, which made him very excited.
At the exit of the secret tunnel, a faint light came through. Before Song Jian had reached the exit, he could already hear roars and howls from ahead.
“It seems like there’s a hall ahead. Could it be another Underground Palace?” Song Jian thought to himself. He couldn’t help but walk over to the exit and look out.
“Sss, it’s actually a village!” Song Jian’s eyes widened in surprise. In front of him was an expansive space with all sorts of buildings and streets. It looked just like a small village.
Black wraiths roamed endlessly around this underground village, constantly letting out heart-rending roars.
“LV2O Enslaved Evil Ghost (Ordinary), Vitality Points: 1800/1800, Traits: Undead, Slave Soul, Skills: Wailing Scream, Flash Claw-
Enslaved Evil Ghost, compared to Tunnel Wraiths, were more vicious. Although they looked similar, Enslaved Evil Ghosts were not mindless like Tunnel Wraiths. From their movements, it could be seen that they had some level of intelligence. They seemed to be very agile, but their instinctive madness and sensitivity to flesh and living beings were the same as those of Tunnel Wraiths.
