“Oh, an item that can modify skills?”

Lin Fan was indeed surprised.

Nonetheless, he continued to ask, “If you don’t want it after changing your skill, then—”

“Then you can keep the original skill,” Lan Paofu continued.

“Ah, then this thing should be quite valuable, right?”

“Naturally.”

Lan Paofu pursed her lips.

“One is worth 100,000 gold coins. Our goal this time is to obtain two. One for each person.”

“Mm.”

Lin Fan was speechless.

He felt that Lan Paofu was a little too talkative.

Last time, it was 100,000 gold coins. This time, it was 100,000 gold coins again?

“So, what is this thing called?”

“It’s called [Frogman’s Mercury Blood]. It can replace an original skill with a new skill.

“Of course, there’s only one chance. There won’t be a second time.

“In other words, we can’t keep using the remake method.”

“Mm.”

Lin Fan nodded.

This was very reasonable.

If it could be reset all the time, it would be quite exaggerated.

“Then, have you understood the location and method of obtaining it?”

Lin Fan tried to use his VIP 2-star authority to search for this item on the Trading Hall’s mobile app. He found that it was a rare item.

The only way to obtain it was to find the [Silver Frogman].

The probability of a Silver Frogman being born among Frogmen was one in a thousand.

From the looks of it, the difficulty of obtaining it was not ordinary.

“There are Frogmen in the Singing Swamp to the east of the Echo Hidden Forest, but I heard that they aren’t easy to deal with. Lin Fan, you have to be careful,” Lan Paofu reminded.

Lin Fan frowned when he heard that.

“By the way, Lin Fan, are there any summoned units that have a higher resistance to curse-type magic attacks?” Lan Paofu asked.

“Eh, all of them have quite high resistance.”

Lin Fan replied.

“That should be fine.” Lan Paofu pondered for a moment.

Then, she followed Lin Fan to the location of Sun City’s teleportation formation.

As long as one paid a certain amount of gold coins, they could go to the place they wanted to go.

Of course, there was another prerequisite, which was that one’s level had to be just right.

Otherwise, it would be considered suicide, and one would not be allowed to pass.

After the staff checked that Lin Fan and Lan Paofu did not have any equipment to disguise their levels, they opened the teleportation coordinates map for them.

There were dots of light on it.

The bigger ones were basically cities, while the smaller ones were specific coordinates.

“2,000 gold coins? Is it that expensive?”Lin Fan was surprised.

“It’s my treat. I have a membership card.” As Lan Paofu spoke, she took out a blood-red card.

Lin Fan looked at it and asked curiously, “Does this thing have anything to do with the VIP level of the Trading Hall?”

“Of course it’s related, but this is a family card. The VIP card you mentioned in the Trading Hall and the hunter level of the Freelancer Guild will all be taken into account. However, the stronger the family is, the more benefits you can receive as a member of the family.”

“The big guilds also have this kind of treatment,” Lan Paofu added.

“Alright then.” Lin Fan nodded.

After the discount, the two of them paid a total of 4,000 gold coins for a round trip.

It could be seen that Lan Paofu’s family background was still very strong.

The location of this item was outside Luo City, 1,000 kilometers away from Yang City.

The impact of the mutated beasts and demons here was even greater.

It was said that if some ordinary people went out at will, they would easily be infected and become monsters, but high-level professionals would not.

Walking into the forest, Lin Fan felt that this forest was a little different from what he had imagined.

The forest was in shallow water, and it was very quiet.

The surface of the water was blue. Other than being a little desolate, there was nothing unusual. There were no demons either.

Just as they were walking forward…

Suddenly, a cloud of yellow and black smoke rose from the side of a tombstone. A hideous monster stood up from the smoke and let out a terrifying creaking sound.

It sounded like the sound of bones being broken.

His eyes were sunken, and so was his mouth.

His entire body was distorted, and he was covered in black robes and smoke.

There was also a mix of earthen yellow and black spiritual energy that made people feel uncomfortable.

“This is…”

“A Cursed Spirit,” Lan Paofu replied.

“They’re quite common in this forest. As long as you get close, they’ll easily appear. I suggest we don’t provoke them casually.”

Lin Fan took a look.

The level was indeed not low.

[Evil Cursed Spirit]

[Level: Level 25]

[Skills: Curse Missile, Shadow Movement, Claw Tear, Summon Prayer]

Lin Fan looked at this monster and felt disgusted.

“Why don’t we give it a try?”

The reason Lin Fan wanted to give it a try was that he had a new soldier, the Lich.

Lin Fan felt that this race might be better at dealing with Cursed Spirits. If not, he could give the Death Knights a try.

The Abominations were a little too slow.

Otherwise, it seemed that only the [Deathly Black Flames] of the [Skeleton Flame Devil] could burn it, provided that it got close.

Otherwise, it would be a little troublesome to deal with this floating Cursed Spirit that seemed to have the effect of accelerating teleportation.

After the Lich was summoned, it was the same as before.

[Increase Light shines!]

[Sinful Lich]

[Level: 20]

[Strength: 3,000]

[Agility: 3,800]

[Defense: 3,500]

[Spirit: 3,500]

[Mana: 4,000]

[Skills: Frost Burst, Frost Magic Shield, Evil Gaze (Passive)]

[Frost Burst: Destructive frost explodes on the target enemy unit, causing AOE damage and reducing the movement and attack speed of the enemy within the range of 4.0 seconds. The main target received the highest damage.]

[Frost Magic Shield: Enchant a Frost Magic Shield around the target to reduce the damage received by normal attacks. When the Magic Shield is in effect, it will cast Ice Magic on nearby enemy units every 1.0 seconds, causing a small amount of damage and slowing down.]

[Evil Gaze: Continuous Casting-Enchant an enemy unit. Slowly walk to a point between the Lich and the enemy, and absorb a certain percentage of the enemy’s current mana.]

At this moment, the Lich looked like a withered corpse with a layer of dried meat on its body and a totem on its back. Its face was slightly better than a skeleton’s, and there were shackles around its neck.

Suddenly, a purple eye opened in the air.

It was its passive skill, [Evil Gaze].

At this moment, the [Sinful Lich (Level 20)] and the [Evil Cursed Spirit (Level 25)] were fighting.

As soon as it went forward, the Lich activated the Frost Magic Shield and launched an ice attack on the Cursed Spirit with an ice-blue light emitting from its palm.
