[Warning: Level 18 boss is less than 500 meters from the master's current position. Due to the significant level gap between the master and this monster, the master is advised to withdraw immediately.]
[Dangerous boss location marked on the map.]
Thanks to the Corrupted Wasteland map, Su Mu easily found the next boss's location.
Logically speaking, a level 18 boss should be quite strong.
Its level was a full six times Su Mu's.
Moreover, when dealing with the elite monster Blackblade, Su Mu had already used the Crystal Bracer skill.
But after defeating Necromancer Blackblade, Su Mu understood: level numbers were mostly meaningless.
Some bosses might not actually be stronger than Blackblade.
Blackblade wasn't a boss simply because its setting wasn't that of a boss.
Especially now, having obtained a powerful weapon, Su Mu naturally wanted to find a boss to practice on.
The main reason was that this boss was only about two kilometers away from Su Mu's shelter.
That distance was really too close.
To prevent the shelter from being attacked by boss-level monsters once its protection faded, Su Mu had to find a way to eliminate the boss near the shelter first.
Not just this one — Su Mu planned to clear the remaining bosses one by one.
"This cloak is pretty useful."
The reason Su Mu was able to get here so quickly was also thanks to another drop from Blackblade.
[Blackblade Cloak]
[Quality: Good]
[Effect: Wearing it reduces the danger of attacks from undead creatures.]
With this equipment, Su Mu didn't have to worry about attacks from undead creatures while running all the way here.
So, Su Mu could arrive so fast.
"Hmph!"
Little Blackblade proudly puffed out her chest, though given her figure, it just looked flat.
Judging by her expression, it seemed to say, "This cloak used to be mine, so naturally it's effective."
Su Mu rubbed Little Blackblade's head and took a look at the environment.
This place looked like an underground cemetery entrance, and in front of Su Mu stood a tombstone.
On the tombstone, there seemed to be some inscriptions.
But due to the erosion of time, the characters were already blurred and hard to read.
"Master, I can read the words on it."
"It says: This cemetery commemorates the brave displaced warrior who appeared to protect the village."
"Good."
Su Mu patted Little Blackblade's head again, though she still didn't understand Su Mu's actions.
Why would her master punish her by flicking her head, but reward her by rubbing it?
Little Blackblade just couldn't figure out the master's thoughts.
But her ability to understand the world's language was a nice surprise for Su Mu — maybe it would help with traps or puzzles later.
However, this cemetery wasn't very large.
Or rather, it was just an open area where the tombstone of this "displaced warrior" was placed and buried on the spot.
"Didn't expect that in this world, you can still make a living digging for gold."
Su Mu touched his nose.
But in this world, nobody cared about grave-robbing.
Judging by this world's state, the displaced warrior was likely already risen as an undead.
"Master, what does 'digging for gold' mean?"
Little Blackblade asked curiously.
Su Mu explained the meaning briefly, then took out a gold-plated mining pick and started digging beneath the tombstone.
After lightly striking once, a hollow tunnel appeared underneath.
"Sure enough, he's already risen as a zombie."
"But the tunnel is too narrow."
"Fighting down there won't be safe; better to lure him out on the surface."
After coming up with this plan, Little Blackblade offered:
"Master, let me go lure him out."
Su Mu said, "No need. The monster down there is very strong, it'll be dangerous for you."
"Better to use a safer method to draw him out."
Upon hearing this, Little Blackblade tilted her head.
The monster below was indeed strong — even she could feel it.
But as a Spirit Entity, unless she took specifically countering damage, harm was negligible.
Still, seeing her master really caring for her, she obediently curled back onto Su Mu's shoulder.
They watched what Su Mu planned to use to lure the monster out.
To attract undead creatures, Su Mu naturally had a way.
Just by placing the [Crimson Soul Pearl], any undead nearby would be compelled to attack the source.
Since the displaced warrior buried here had already become an undead, it naturally could not resist the Crimson Soul Pearl's lure.
Little Blackblade looked at the Crimson Soul Pearl with curiosity.
She felt that somewhere in her faint memories, she had a lot of connections with this pearl.
"Get ready, here it comes."
As Su Mu placed the Crimson Soul Pearl, the tombstone's position began to collapse immediately.
Then, a figure wearing tattered armor appeared right before Su Mu.
