Since the system became my girlfriend

After reviving Gege's corpse into a guard, Su Rui set off with this melee soldier.

Moreover, after reviving Gege's corpse, Su Rui discovered something interesting: Gege retained her elite-rank aura!

Elite Aura: Increases the attack speed of yourself and nearby friendly targets by 10%.

"It seems that to revive a corpse, we still need to find a BOSS's corpse to revive. Maybe a higher-ranking BOSS can bring a better aura!" Su Rui nodded to himself, and then led his corpse guards straight to the northern mine.

With the map as a guide, Su Rui arrived at the entrance of the abandoned mine without any trouble. Although he encountered a few monsters along the way, he easily dealt with them.

"This must be it..." Su Rui muttered to himself. Before even entering the mine, he sensed a sinister atmosphere.

After stepping into the mine, there were no monsters wandering around the entrance. Su Rui led the corpse guards inside, and as he went deeper, one undead creature after another began to appear in front of him.

Most of the undead creatures in the mine were around level 11 to 12. Although they were slightly higher than Su Rui's level, they did not completely overwhelm him.

Moreover, there aren't many types of monsters here, only three in total. The most numerous of them are resurrected corpses. These monsters look like zombies, with pale and decaying skin. Some even have rotting muscles on their bodies, and occasionally various corpse worms crawl around, making people feel extremely disgusted when they see them.

"Damn it! Thank goodness I didn't come here to bring girls. What girl could stand this kind of environment?" Su Rui said with a sneer.

However, although these resurrected corpses are disgusting, they are the easiest to fight. They are just ordinary melee monsters with average attack power. They can only deal a dozen or so points of damage to the corpse guards that are Gege's avatars. Although they have slightly more health, Su Rui can eliminate them with three Shadow Arrows combined with Gege's attacks. They are the easiest monsters to kill.

Besides the resurrected corpses, there are two other types of monsters that are more difficult to deal with. One of them, called the Skeleton Warrior, has high attack and defense. One hit on Gege can actually reduce her health by more than 40 points. Su Rui doesn't have any healing skills, so if Gege is killed, he won't have anywhere to recruit new guards in this mine.

Fortunately, these skeleton warriors are very slow. They stop and sway every two steps before continuing forward. This slow and rhythmic movement gives Su Rui the opportunity to kite them. After casting Corruption, he can run back while casting Shadow Bolt. This skill can be cast while moving, so Su Rui's kiting becomes much easier.

However, while kite-wielding skeleton warriors can prevent Gege from taking damage, their monster-killing efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Finally, besides these two types of monsters, there is another type of monster in the mine called ghouls. These monsters are relatively few in number, and you may only encounter one every few days.

However, compared to zombies and skeleton warriors, ghouls are much stronger in combat. Not only do they have higher attack power and attack speed than skeleton warriors, but if their health drops too quickly, they will devour the corpses or remains of nearby monsters to restore their health. This characteristic disgusted Su Rui to no end.

Often, he would fire three Shadow Arrows and bring the ghoul to near death, but then the ghoul would lie down on a nearby corpse or bone fragment and take a few bites, and its health would quickly recover!

"It's definitely more efficient to farm the gnolls outside!" Su Rui muttered. If it weren't for the quest, he definitely wouldn't have come to this mine. The experience gained is about the same anyway. But the monsters here are much harder to kill than outside. Including the time spent finding the monsters, it takes Su Rui about half a minute to kill one.

"Hurry up and finish the quest so we can go out and grind monsters. This place is so inefficient!" Su Rui muttered to himself as he cast Shadow Bolt, trying to target resurrected corpses as much as possible, since those were the easiest to kill.

"How come there are so many corpses here that have been resurrected as undead? Could this place have been a graveyard a long time ago?" After killing another small monster, Su Rui muttered to himself and continued walking forward.

As time went by, one undead monster after another fell before Su Rui and Gege, and Su Rui's quest progress was continuously improved.

An hour and a half later, Su Rui finally killed all two hundred undead minions required for the mission, and his corpse guard, Gege, was now down to less than half health.

Although Su Rui had tried his best to protect Gege's health, he didn't have any life-restoring skills, and Gege herself didn't have any recovery abilities either. So even though his health was being whittled down little by little, it was still reduced by about two-thirds.

"Ding! Mission updated!" Finally, with a system notification, Su Rui had cleared all two hundred monsters. At the same time, Su Rui felt a dangerous aura coming from the left side of his body.

"Thud!" An arrow struck Su Rui's left shoulder!

-65!

A bright red damage number floated above Su Rui's head, and at the same time, he was also affected by a debuff!

Corpse Poison: Deals 20 damage per second for five seconds! (Stacks up to five times)

Su Rui, who had been attacked, immediately turned around and saw a slender figure wearing a black cloak and a black veil covering her face standing at a corner not far away.

“Ghost Hunter!” Su Rui’s pupils contracted. The female NPC in the black cloak was the Ghost Hunter he was looking for, and her bright red name was now displayed above her head.

Ghost Hunter (Elite)

Rating: 12

Health: 100%

After confirming the target, Su Rui looked around and, after confirming that it was unlikely that he would attract any small monsters, ordered Gege beside him to start the attack!

Since the Ghost Hunter had already spotted Su Rui, it was no longer possible for him to sit on the ground and heal. Although he did not retaliate, Su Rui had already entered combat mode.

"Awooo!" Gege let out a wolf howl. Although its health was already low, as a corpse guardian, it still charged towards the ghost hunter fearlessly.

-29!

Gege swung her axe at the Ghost Hunter, drawing its aggro. Once the aggro shifted, the Ghost Hunter immediately switched to melee attacks, putting away its longbow and using a dagger to attack Gege!

-58!

-57!

……

Gege's defense was slightly higher than Su Rui's, but the Ghost Hunter's attack speed was very fast, so Gege's already low health began to drop rapidly.

"Shadow Arrow!" Su Rui wasn't idle either. While ordering Gege to draw aggro, he also began casting spells himself.

-248!

-237!

……

Shadow Bolt after Shadow Bolt hit the Ghost Hunter, quickly reducing its health to around 50%!
