I summon the heroic spirits of China in the infinite world.

As planned, Dawn placed the four heroic spirits at opposite ends of the T-shaped entrance.

【Guan Yu】pair with 【Stone Monkey】, 【Zhang Fei】pair with 【Liu Bei】.

The screen wall is only 8 meters long, while Liu Bei's sworn brotherhood halo has a radius of 10 meters, enough to encompass Guan Yu on the other side.

As for himself, he stood behind Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to supervise and command the battle.

"Grass!"

But as soon as he stood still, the straw man next to him pulled Dawn back several steps.

"?"

Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw a white shadow squeeze out from the city wall where he had just been standing.

"roar…"

A ghost, seemingly composed of pure white energy, slowly drifted in.

"It can actually penetrate the city wall."

The scene before him made Leon Lai frown.

He hurriedly directed Zhang Fei, who was closest, to go and meet them.

【Hey!】

As Zhang Fei roared, his thick, long spear had already pierced through.

However, the spearhead pierced the ghost's body as smoothly as if it had encountered clouds and mist, leaving only a ripple on its surface.

It doesn't appear to have caused much damage.

"roar!"

On the other hand, the ghost also pounced forward, slapping Zhang Fei down with both palms.

The health of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all dropped slightly. Li Ming roughly estimated that this attack was equivalent to taking away at least 15% of Zhang Fei's health.

This damage is much higher than that of ordinary skeletons and goblins.

Moreover, this ghost was very resilient. Zhang Fei, who could usually defeat minions with just two attacks, had to stab it four times before finally taking down the one in front of him.

No sooner had this ghost been dealt with than a new one appeared in the territory.

However, it happened to enter through the wall, so the detection stone read the relevant information.

[Ghost]: LV3

[Penetration - Passive]: Ghosts can ignore building obstacles.

[Ghostly Physique - Passive]: Ghosts take 50% less physical damage.

The definitions of monsters and heroic spirits are slightly different. They do not have restrictions on the number of entries or ranks; only their level indicates their strength.

"LV3, two stats, looks like tonight's guy isn't weak."

Li Ming picked up the map, wanting to see if there were any ghost strongholds marked nearby.

Unfortunately, no.

However, he still had reason to suspect that the invading monsters tonight were stronger because he had cleared out the goblin stronghold.

"That's good, stronger monsters will provide more experience points."

Within his tolerance range, he naturally hoped that the monsters would be as strong as possible.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these ghosts seem tough because of their "ghostly constitution"; in reality, their physical defense isn't very high.

Guan Yu, who can trigger the [Evil-Repelling] skill, only needs two strikes to utterly destroy them.

Of course, Dawn did not allow Guan Yu to fully utilize his advantages.

Instead, they first held it down, and only killed it after the ghost scratched the stone monkey a few times.

A ghost can provide 3 experience points, and killing it in this way will allow the stone monkey to get 1 point.

In addition to the gains from exploiting the terrain in the goblin cave during the day, it finally reached LV2 by midnight.

The Stone Monkey's level has been increased to LV2.

The Heroic Spirit's attributes have been improved.

You can now choose the Spirit Trait for it.

Dawn does not intend to postpone the promotion of [Stone Monkey] like she does for other heroic spirits.

Because this guy has no independent attack power, it's too difficult for him to gain experience points.

If there were any spiritual properties that could help one escape this predicament, that would be ideal.

Let me take a look.

He opened the options page with anticipation.

[Battle Aura - Trait]: When attacked by a physical attack, immediately inflict a 5% reflection damage on the source of the attack.

This trait is of the Balance type and requires 100 Balance Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

[Full of Energy - Trait]: When energy is at 100%, damage taken is reduced by 10%.

This trait is of the Steadfast type and requires 100 Steadfast Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

[Accumulated Attack - Trait]: When attacked a total of 10 times, immediately unleash an attack.

This trait is of the Steadfast type and requires 100 Steadfast Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

"It's really out!"

After browsing the three options, Li Ming's eyes lit up.

Moreover, there is more than one that is aggressive.

First, let's rule out "abundance," as it's not a necessity for me.

To be honest, the Stone Monkey already has 20% damage reduction, and even with an additional 10% damage reduction, its damage mitigation ability is still not as good as the combined form of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

As for the Balanced type's [Report] and the Steadfast type's [Accumulated Weight], after weighing the options, he still chose [Accumulated Weight].

The Steadfast type represents the ability of a Heroic Spirit to gain energy when attacked, and is the opposite of the Destructive type.

Anyway, the Stone Monkey's usual task is to get beaten up. Given the choice between getting beaten up for nothing and gaining energy after being beaten up, he chooses the latter.

"But how will this 'release one attack' be presented?"

With this question in mind, Dawn Payment Resources completed its promotion.

hum!

A thin beam of light shot down from the sky and struck the stone monkey, causing the monkey-shaped patterns on the stone to light up as if they had been outlined.

After the light shifted, the image of the monkey sitting in the stone became clearer.

The stone monkey has awakened a new spiritual characteristic.

The Heroic Spirit's attributes have been improved.

Following the system's notification, the [Stone Monkey]'s interface changed.

[Stone Monkey]: Tier 1, LV2, Steadfast

[Accumulated Attack - Trait]: When attacked a total of 10 times, immediately unleash an attack.

[Stubborn Stone - Passive]: The stone monkey takes 20% less damage.

At this moment, a ghost is attacking the stone monkey, and dawn can observe its health points decreasing.

The ghost's attack power is definitely unchanged, but the percentage of health lost by the stone monkey when hit is nearly 50% less than before awakening.

Previously, being attacked by a ghost would cause me to lose about 10% of my health, but now it only takes 5%.

This likely indicates that the Stone Monkey's armor and maximum health have been increased.

Dawn knew that the attributes of Heroic Spirits would be enhanced after awakening, but she did not expect the enhancement to be so great.

To witness the new effects of the stone monkey, he temporarily held down Guan Yu beside him, allowing the monsters to attack the stone monkey.

So he just watched helplessly, and the moment the ghost had landed a total of 10 attacks on him, the stone monkey immediately moved.

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

Under the watchful gaze of dawn, it turned its heavy, hard stone body and rolled forward.

The ghost in front of him was crushed to the ground and died instantly, a full-health kill!

Rolling stones is a very primitive attack method, but its power is by no means weak.

Moreover, the rolling stone was a continuous attack, rolling straight forward along the wall passage, even crushing another ghost that was fighting Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

Fortunately, his friendly forces were unharmed; otherwise, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei would have suffered as well.

"Um?"

After killing two ghosts with one stone, Dawn discovers that one of the ghosts left behind a glittering card on the ground.
