Nie Wan didn't plan to collect any more ghosts here; she just wanted the talisman to weaken them so she could quickly defeat the Bonefire and clear the dungeon.

Useful items are extremely expensive; converted to silver, a single talisman costs three thousand taels of silver. It's not really a talisman; it's practically a silver note.

Nie Wan, however, was able to recklessly spend money, relying on the tens of thousands of low-grade immortal crystals she had won in a lottery. She had planned to come here to farm this dungeon and achieve the first kill on all the bosses when she went to the Ghost Clan, so she had bought 600,000 tickets well in advance. Now, even if she was just using them for fun, it would take her several days to burn through them, so there was no need to be frugal; she could just mindlessly throw them at any monster she encountered.

Nie Wan carefully held the Ghost-Controlling Talisman, following behind the armored puppet, concentrating intently on sensing every subtle movement around her.

A barely perceptible gust of wind arose, and Nie Wan suddenly crushed the talisman in her hand and flung it towards the source of the wind.

The Ghost-Controlling Talisman exploded with a snap, and five beams of golden and purple light shot out, illuminating the surroundings.

The moment the bone fire materialized, it was directly illuminated by the talisman's light, and a faint scream immediately rang out from within the green flames. Nie Wan clearly saw that his original 260,000 health points instantly dropped by 40%, leaving him with only 104,000.

Bonefire turned to run, but no matter how much it struggled and twisted, it could not escape the shackles of the Ghost-Controlling Talisman.

Nie Wan raised her hand, quickly broke the verse, and used a skill inherent to healers: "dripping water wears away stone."

This is a water-based attack skill, which is somewhat effective against bone fire.

The misty water droplets clumped together and splattered onto the bone fire.

The bonefire green flames instantly shrank by half, and a damage indicator appeared above its head.

-3243

As expected, the level difference is still too great, and the rank is also incomparable.

Even with such a balance of power, only this much damage was dealt.

Nie Wan raised an eyebrow slightly, maneuvering the armored puppet to circle behind Bonefire, and together they launched a series of attacks, using the "dripping water wears away stone" technique.

The armored golem's attack power was not as good as hers, but it was still a source of some damage.

After three minutes of continuous output, the bone fire vanished without a trace with a "poof".

Without a corpse, there was nothing to touch; only three white lights of experience landed on Nie Wan, the armored puppet, and Xiao Yu.

Killing a Bonefire grants 10,000 experience points. Due to the significant level difference and the bonus from killing monsters of higher levels, even if the experience is split among three people, Nie Wan can reliably gain 4000 experience points.

For a level 45 player, this amount of experience is quite insignificant, but for Nie Wan, who is only level 16, 4000 experience points, while not a huge amount, is not insignificant either.

After sweeping through a layer with approximately 100 points of bone fire, you should be able to level up again.

With the Ghost-Controlling Talisman's effects being so immediate, Nie Wan basically didn't need to worry about anything else. As long as she threw out the talisman before the Bone Fire was activated, there would be no danger.

The distribution of bone fire in the first layer of the maze was relatively sparse, posing no immediate danger of one thing affecting the whole. The man and his puppet moved forward as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, bathed in the golden-purple light of the ghost-controlling talisman.

An hour passed, and Nie Wan became more and more adept at killing, successfully leveling up to level 17, and a system notification sounded in her ear.

[Pet Tama successfully absorbed the essence of Heavenly Water, awakening its water-type skill talent.]

Nie Wan turned to look at Xiao Yu.

Other attributes remain largely unchanged, except that water-type spell attack and spell defense have both increased from 0 to 12, and two new water-type spirit treasure skills have been added to the skill bar.

[Low-cost rain curtain]

Skill Level: 1

[Skill Rank: Spirit Treasure]

[Skill Description: A gentle rain, a vast expanse of mist, a dreamlike scene where sleep is easily attained.]

[Skill Description: Area-of-effect attack skill, consumes 800 Qi, affects targets within a 20-foot radius, reducing their HP by 1%, Qi by 0.5%, and Stamina by 0.5% per second, inflicting a dazed state for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 10 minutes.]

【Tianshui Muze】

[Skill Description: Prolonged sunshine can be harmful, but gentle rain can soothe a parched heart.]

[Skill Description: A group support skill that consumes 800 Qi. It affects all allied targets, increasing their maximum health by 50%, maximum Qi by 20%, magic defense by 10%, and physical defense by 10%. The duration is 30 minutes, and the cooldown is 45 minutes.]

One offensive and one supportive combination worked well.

Nie Wan immediately instructed Xiao Yu to use her new skill. Xiao Yu raised her hands lightly, and a drizzle of fine rain fell, the fine raindrops landing on the bone fire. The faint cries within the bone fire grew even sharper.

-1060, -1060, -1120

The damage values ​​kept popping up, and in just a few seconds, the remaining health and bone fire were completely dissipated.

There are no more monsters in the first level of the Dark River Maze.

Nie Wan summoned Xiao Yu back to his side, gently cupped her in his hand, and slowly moved forward in the river. At the same time, he channeled part of his consciousness into the armored puppet, making it hold a luminous pearl and swim in the water, using the pearl to illuminate every crevices at the bottom.

In her past life, she had wandered through this river at least two hundred times, enduring her suppressed frustration and searching for every clue, only to finally discover that the answer was not on the surface of the water, but underwater.

Underwater, the jagged reefs were illuminated by the luminous pearl, and the light was transmitted to Nie Wan's mind through the eyes of the armored golem.

Just as I imagined.

At each fork in the river, there are always a few reefs on the bottom of the water, and among these reefs, only one clump has a few strands of aquatic plants growing on it.

If the reef is round and the aquatic plants grow straight, then walk along the river channel directly opposite the reef.

If the reef is round, and the seaweed undulates with the current, pointing crookedly in another direction, then you should take the fork in the road in the direction the seaweed is pointing.

If the reef is curved and the seaweed is crooked and pointing in a certain direction, then you should take the path in the opposite direction of the seaweed.

In addition, the situation of underground rivers should also be considered.

If a whirlpool or undercurrent happens to pass by, the aquatic plants may change direction. At this time, the direction they point to is irrelevant. You can only wait until the whirlpool passes and the aquatic plants return to normal before you can find the correct path by following their direction.

Such a difficult and convoluted clue meant that even in her previous life, when Nie Wan realized she needed to look for traces underwater, she still had to go through dozens of detours after discovering the problem with the aquatic plants before finally finding the answer.

Of course, what's even more frustrating is that in the dim underwater light, ordinary lighting equipment simply cannot clearly illuminate the shape of the rocks, making it very easy to misjudge them.

Therefore, Nie Wan bought a super-powerful luminous pearl in advance to illuminate the bottom of the water so that she would never misread it again.

After following the armored golem for ten minutes, we rounded the last fork in the underground river.

As soon as I stepped across the river, I saw a flash of white light and a chilling, sharp wind rushed toward my face.

Nie Wan dodged to the side, crushed the three exorcising talismans in her hand, and flashed towards the white figure.

Fifteen beams of golden and purple light, like a cage, trapped the white figure in the center.

The white figure rushed forward at high speed, but could not break free of the cage. Its speed gradually slowed down, revealing its true form.

It is a hand bone with sharp finger segments.

The finger bones in this hand are much longer and softer than those of ordinary people, like the finger bones of people suffering from arachnodactyly.

Its color is also much paler than that of ordinary hand bones. When it flexes and extends, the bones rub against each other, like the sound of two marbles scraping against each other.

Cold, inorganic.

In her past life, there were several things that Nie Wan couldn't understand, one of which was this hand bone.

Why did it turn out like this?

In this lifetime, Nie Wan is determined to unravel these mysteries.

Manipulating Xiaoyu, he waved his hands, causing a light rain to fall, sprinkling onto his hand bones with a sizzling, corrosive sound.

-68009, -52210, -58211

Xiaoyu's skill deducts health based entirely on the opponent's percentage. The Hand Bone was originally a mini-boss with only ten million health points. After being suppressed by the Ghost Control Talisman, it only had six million left. Even if Nie Wan and the Ironclad Puppet didn't deal any damage, Xiaoyu could easily grind it down.

Fifteen minutes later, the hand bones were completely corroded by Xiaoyu. Nie Wan's single, dripping blow pierced through the stone, taking away the remaining 600 points of health.

[Congratulations to player Youyuehan for clearing the first level of the exquisite dungeon Dark River Maze, defeating the boss Nameless Hand Bone, and gaining +1 Skill Point, +1 Attribute Point, and +10 Reputation]

The environment changed instantly, and Nie Wan was back at the entrance of the underground river, standing in the shallow water.

It was resolved in just fifteen minutes; it was definitely much easier than fighting in my previous life.

The level 45 boss, Nameless Hand Bone, is of the lowest attack and defense among all bosses, but it has one advantage: its speed is the fastest of all boss types.

The reason the fight was so troublesome in her past life was because these bones were too flexible, while she herself was not able to move easily in the water. This imbalance meant that they could only engage in a tug-of-war.

With the Ghost-Controlling Talisman suppressing the hand bone, and with Xiaoyu's water-based spiritual treasure skill, all the bosses in the first seventeen levels can only be suppressed and beaten by her.

Nie Wan held the Ghost-Controlling Talisman, gazing at the second-level labyrinth where the bone fire was even denser.

A moment later, she manipulated the black iron puppet to sink into the water, avoiding the sensing range of the water-borne bone fire, and swam towards the fork in the road.

Players outside leveling up and running dungeons were stunned by the system announcement and remained speechless for a long time.

When Youyuehan cleared the first dungeon at the beginning of the game, most people thought she was just lucky.

When the second dungeon was cleared, there were still many team members. Outsiders didn't know the situation, and some people always felt that although she played a significant role, she might not be particularly strong on her own.

Now, the announcement of the first kill of the third dungeon has been posted, and it's Youyuehan again, and she cleared it all by herself.

Even the most stubborn person has to admit this guy's exceptional abilities.

Upstairs at Yangzhou Qianlixiang, Li Xinpu had just touched a mouthful of Biluochun tea to his lips, but before he could even savor it, a system announcement smeared his face with smoke.

How long has it been since she finished clearing the Serpent Forest? Is this woman already running dungeons again?

He blinked and looked at Lan Xiangyuan questioningly.

"This... could it be something you planned?"

Lan Xiangyuan was also filled with questions, never expecting that Nie Wan had quietly cleared another dungeon.

But how could he say he knew nothing about Nie Wan's plan at this point? He had to stand up for himself.

So she suppressed the thought that kept flooding her mind, "Where did that brat go to run dungeons?", straightened her back slightly, and revealed a confident smile.

"What do you say?"
