My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 311: Another Unlucky Soul

The undead moved extremely swiftly, capable of flying and disappearing into the ground. Yet each time it tried to flee, it would crash into a transparent barrier and be halted.

At those moments, Li Rui would catch up and deliver a resounding golden slap.

Each slap would cause the undead to dim slightly.

Cheng Mingyue stood by, watching with her arms crossed, and before long, the Great Witch’s spirit form completely dissipated.

Li Rui twisted his wrist, turned back to check on the Giant’s condition, and found that he was mostly unscathed, though affected by an illusion technique. Li Rui handed him a rare potion to restore his spirit.

The Giant Ape gratefully drank it, feeling much better.

"Thank you, sir."

Li Rui waved it off: "Follow me inside for a look."

Earlier, when the Great Witch appeared, it also summoned many common undead. Li Rui activated his Blood Eye and used Thunder Shocking Earth to pummel until the residence was reduced to rubble. Now, they could only search among the debris.

However, most of the minor spoils were just reinforcement materials or items of common to rare quality, not precious to him.

Li Rui and Cheng Mingyue’s main goal was to find the reward corresponding to the Great Witch’s true form.

"Giant, come over here."

Li Rui found some treasures in the mansion which weren’t part of the spoils, probably hidden by the Great Witch in the past.

"Haha, what good luck."

Cheng Mingyue laughed and said, "You can give them to the big monkey, they’re good for his cultivation."

Li Rui agreed, putting the items in a box and placing it in the Giant’s basket for him.

The latter was tearfully grateful, for this was a treasure comparable to the Yangmo Cauldron of the Demon Race, something he could never hope to acquire on his own.

But Li Rui didn’t have much use for them anyway, as anything that couldn’t be stored in his inventory was as good as stone.

The Giant helped to dig through the partially collapsed house, and found the rewards of this mansion in a corner.

"Two epic items!"

Cheng Mingyue said, "One belt and one coat. Which do you want?"

"The belt."

Li Rui decided right away; even a Legendary Level chest plate wouldn’t match the Administrator’s coat.

He glanced at this new equipment.

[Cloud Pattern Belt.]

[Item Level: 37.]

[Quality: Epic.]

[Attributes: Defense +27, Spirit +10.]

[Special Effect: Teleportation skills increase movement distance by 10%.]

[Active Skill—Vanish: When in fog or dust environments, it blends completely, lasts 3 minutes, cooldown 1 hour.]

[Permanent: Yes.]

This equipment’s attributes were average, even slightly weak, but could complement Mist Flow Mastery. If it blended completely, it meant not being seen even within a few meters.

The special effect reminded Li Rui.

"The Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture has a derivative teleportation skill, but it requires a Legendary Level material."

"Legendary Level material? What’s it called?" Cheng Mingyue asked eagerly.

"Inch of Glowing Stone," Li Rui replied.

"Specific and Legendary Level, not easy to find," Cheng Mingyue said, "but there are more produced in Secret Realm battlefields, I’ll keep an eye out for you."

Li Rui agreed, just as she mentioned.

"Hey, there’s a Prophet at the main command center, you can ask him to help predict if you can find it."

Li Rui was curious: "Can I ask him to predict personal matters?"

"Of course, but for a price, it’s not free, if your contributions are high enough, you can."

Li Rui thought that the reputation from those three big chests exchanged in the Divine Wood Forest should be enough to ask for help, and he made a mental note of it.

"Let’s go. Two more Great Witches left, then open the boss, quick and decisive."

Just as he said this, a loud noise came from the south gate direction.

Boom—

Li Rui hurriedly jumped onto the Giant’s shoulder, looking towards the sound, he saw a Ghost General in armor battling someone.

Cheng Mingyue jumped to the other side, frowning: "Who is that? The one in armor is quite strong, stronger than the Great Witch, could it be the city’s guardian general who locked the gates and led to the city’s downfall back then?"

"Possible."

"Let’s go check it out."

"Hmm."

Li Rui agreed, with a powerful boss comes a good loot drop.

.....

Xu Xiliang felt he had overestimated himself.

He initially thought that with his level 50 and full Epic Level equipment, in this Ghost City, as long as he didn’t open the final boss, he wouldn’t encounter any real threats.

Yet, he had just entered when he ran into a City Patrol Ghost General.

Though he didn’t fully understand the city, reports already indicated the general’s strength wasn’t to be underestimated.

Now engaged in battle, he realized the opponent was even more formidable than expected.

Being an experienced Extraordinary and vice-president of a city-level branch, he didn’t panic due to unforeseen circumstances, quickly making up his mind.

"Retreat first." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

This wasn’t cowardice, but due to the unknown situation, unsure if other enemies might appear nearby, if surrounded and unable to withdraw, he might truly encounter danger.

So he activated the Sharpshooter’s skill, Step Wind!

This ability granted brief rapid movement speed, useful for distancing from enemies in critical moments or pursuing at specific times.

In a flash, he vanished from the spot, retreating.

Xu Xiliang calmly withdrew, but hadn’t taken many steps when he suddenly felt a murderous intent from behind.

A javelin, brimming with Evil Qi, descended from above, hurtling towards him like a meteor, extremely fast.

Bam.

He forcefully stomped on the decayed green bricks with his right foot, cracking the ground, veering instantly to the left.

Boom!!!

The javelin fell, unleashing a cloud of black Evil Qi.

Xu Xiliang intended to bypass the Evil Qi and retreat, but noticed silhouettes emerging from the black mist.

Blades, spears, swords, and halberds, four armored guards glared menacingly.

The javelin’s snipe was not only a high-speed attack but also summoned the city patrol general’s personal guards.

"Those who retreat shall be executed."

The general bellowed, and all four guards moved.

"Hmph."

Xu Xiliang sneered, not troubled, charging directly at the four guards. As they were about to clash, a green light erupted from his body, his entire being turning ethereal.

He was now like the undead, lacking a tangible form, yet without sinister aura.

This transformation rendered the guards unable to hinder him, bringing him behind them, a mere few hundred meters from the city gate.

As a Sharpshooter, with weak melee skills, he often devised various escape tactics.

Having bypassed the guards, he continued sprinting to exit Ghost City, but suddenly felt a chilling wind pursuing him from behind.

He saw the City Patrol General now mounted on a Ghost Spirit warhorse, overtaking him with sheer speed.

So fast.

Xu Xiliang was astonished. Not wanting to fight in this place, he had no choice but to consider soloing this boss.

But before he could draw his bow, he noticed something approaching at an even faster speed, a golden light glimmering in the corner of his eye.
