Chapter 83

The moment a burning sensation spread across his chest, Qin Ran activated [Tracking].

Because Qin Ran knew what the burning sensation emitted by the [Woven Amulet] represented—

[Attribute: When a ghostly creature appears within a five-meter radius, it will alert you!]

The attribute of the [Woven Amulet] was clearly described in the item list.

Everything before him once again became crystal clear.

However, this time, there were no white traces, red bloodstains, or black explosive residues; only a shadow.

It was blurry and faint, yet it lunged straight at him.

Crack!

Electric sparks appeared on Qin Ran's [Lightning Knuckle], and without any hesitation, he punched the peculiar creature in front of him with all his might.

Bang!

Qin Ran's fist hit the shadow accurately. The sensation was like hitting a sack, and the sound was similar.

The shadow that lunged at him began to tremble violently.

"Ahh!"

A scream echoed in Qin Ran's ears.

Then, the shadow shattered as if it were dust blown away.

[Punch · Lightning: Caused 50 points of damage to the opponent (25 Unarmed Combat (Expert) x2). The opponent is an intangible wraith, suffering double damage, actually causing 100 points of damage. The opponent is dead...]

The battle prompt appeared on Qin Ran's retina.

However, Qin Ran had no more energy to pay attention to it.

Because more shadows... no, intangible wraiths, were rushing towards him.

Under the [Tracking] vision, these intangible wraiths transformed into overlapping shadows, like a swarm of locusts, making it impossible to distinguish one from another.

Cold and darkness instantly enveloped Qin Ran.

It was as if he had entered a cellar that hadn't been opened for years.

Under such a dense attack, even with an Expert-level [Dodge], Qin Ran found it difficult to completely avoid the intangible wraiths' assaults.

[Negative Energy Erosion: Ignoring physical armor, the opponent causes you 5 points of damage...]

...

A shadow seemed to graze Qin Ran's arm, but the sudden five battle prompts indicated the special attack method of these intangible wraiths: stacking.

It wasn't the stacking of individual attacks.

It was the stacking of attacks caused by the number of individuals.

This stacking was more directly felt in Qin Ran's body.

There was no pain!

But it was more terrifying than pain.

A bone-chilling cold sensation spread from the arm touched by the intangible wraith.

The cold not only froze Qin Ran's arm but seemed to want to freeze his soul as well.

Even worse, Qin Ran could feel his arm losing vitality, as if it were no longer his own.

Qin Ran couldn't guarantee that if such attacks continued, his left arm would suffer irreversible damage.

But his intuition told him not to take such a risk!

Therefore, when another intangible wraith appeared before him, already affected by negative energy erosion and unable to dodge, Qin Ran gritted his teeth, twisted his body, and let the intangible wraith pass through his chest while swinging his [Lightning Knuckle].

[Negative Energy Erosion: Ignoring physical armor, the opponent causes you 20 points of damage...]

[Punch · Lightning: Caused 50 points of damage to the opponent (25 Unarmed Combat (Expert) x2). The opponent is an intangible wraith, suffering double damage, actually causing 100 points of damage. The opponent is dead...]

The lightning dealt a fatal blow to the intangible wraith, but the four times greater damage it inflicted on Qin Ran compared to a single attack told him that touching different parts of his body would cause different damage.

Such damage was not to be underestimated.

Although his constitution had reached D-, and his health points had increased to 350!

It was still not enough to ignore 20 points of damage each time, especially with the stacking attacks of these intangible wraiths, which made Qin Ran have to be extra cautious.

In fact, if the previous attack had also been a stack of intangible wraiths, Qin Ran would absolutely not have used his body to block but would have let the intangible wraiths pass through his left arm.

Losing his left arm was better than losing his life, right?

Besides, he could still be healed after completing the dungeon!

"Close call!"

"What is this?!"

Qin Ran, feeling relieved, hadn't even had time to truly celebrate saving his left arm when he suddenly drew a sharp breath.

Because more intangible wraiths appeared, mixing with the previous ones, densely like bombers, diving towards Qin Ran.

The cold and darkness grew even more intense.

It was like a black beast opening its bloodthirsty mouth, swallowing Qin Ran whole.

Without hesitation, Qin Ran rolled on the ground, avoiding the first intangible wraith. When the last of the intangible wraiths passed over his head, he leaped up and swung his fist.

Crack!

Electric arcs wrapped around Qin Ran's right hand, making it look as if he were holding lightning.

And this lightning dispelled the surrounding cold and darkness!

[Punch · Lightning: Caused 50 points of damage to the opponent (25 Unarmed Combat (Expert) x2). The opponent is an intangible wraith, suffering double damage, actually causing 100 points of damage. The opponent is dead...]

...

Four prompts appeared in succession.

Clearly, for these intangible wraiths, stacking attacks was an advantage, but without corresponding defense, this advantage turned into a disadvantage when receiving attacks.

But merely dispersing four intangible wraiths was negligible compared to the swarm of intangible wraiths, which were as dense as locusts.

Under Qin Ran's [Tracking] vision, these intangible wraiths turned around and dived at him again.

"No!"

"This can't go on!"

"Although I can eliminate some intangible wraiths, compared to their numbers, it's like a drop in the ocean!"

"Moreover, activating [Tracking] consumes a lot of stamina, and with the battle, the stamina consumption is multiplied!"

"Once my stamina reaches the critical point and I can no longer support [Tracking], I'll be as good as blind!"

Qin Ran rolled on the ground again to avoid the numerous intangible wraiths' attacks, watching his stamina drop from 350 to less than 100. He quickly scanned his surroundings, thinking of a way to escape the current predicament.

And when his gaze inadvertently swept over the stairwell, his eyes lit up.
