Lin Deyou and his group split into teams of three, each team keeping a close eye on one of the commoners.
Watching them, Zuo Lin'an couldn't help but complain silently, “Are they really that desperate to see me?”
Oh well.
Let them watch. Zuo Lin'an didn't really care if they saw him or not.
After all, wasn't it perfectly normal for players to see a specter killing someone?
What was Zuo Lin'an actually most worried about?
It was whether these players possessed any means of repelling specters. If he were to be repelled, his failure in this dungeon would be guaranteed.
He had thought it out well before—as long as he didn't give them a chance to use such items, it wouldn't be an issue.
However, while commoners were easy to kill, these martial artists were a different story. No matter what, they should still be able to buy enough time to use their specter items and talents before they died, right?
So, what should he do?
How could he perfectly avoid these risks?
Zuo Lin'an pulled out his phone, opened the forum, and began browsing the posts.
There were countless posts on the forum. Although he had browsed many with Xu Youyou before, that was just the tip of the iceberg. He wanted to keep searching to see if there were other solutions.
Especially the yet-to-be-discovered advantages of being a Human-Specter Symbiont.
The supernatural world's emphasis on Human-Specter Symbionts was obvious to all. They had even set aside such a massive area just to build Sin Hunter City.
One had to know that the supernatural world lacked its source energy, so there wasn't much land left on the entire planet that was suitable for human habitation.
Therefore, he felt he must have missed some incredibly important, key piece of information.
Of course, this was just his speculation, but to his surprise, as he scrolled through, he actually found something!
It was a very peculiar post.
“Strange. How did I not notice this post before?”
Zuo Lin'an felt a bit surprised, but he quickly realized it was an old post from several years ago. With so many new posts, this one had been pushed far down, so it was only natural that he hadn't seen it earlier.
This time, he had only found it by typing keywords into the search bar.
Otherwise, if he had just scrolled down normally, who knew how long it would have taken him to find it.
Most importantly, the total number of Human-Specter Symbiont dungeon bosses in the entire supernatural world was actually very small.
Because of this, while many posts about Human-Specter Symbionts initially drew curiosity, they eventually ended up ignored over time.
He tapped on the post.
【Advantages of Human-Specter Symbiont Dungeon Bosses Against Players】
【First, of course, is the coordination between the living body and the specter body. In a dungeon, you can use your living body to disguise yourself as an NPC to interact with players, baiting them into triggering your rules without them even realizing it.】
【The players won't suspect you at all. Of course, this is assuming your acting skills are up to par.】
【Even if they aren't, it doesn't matter. Even if they discover you're the one behind it, the players won't dare to kill you. After all, if players kill an NPC, that NPC can turn into an unsolvable specter and return to kill the culprit.】
【Of course, you aren't actually an NPC, so you'll have to handle the subsequent situation yourself.】
【Second, of course, is the unrestricted perfect fusion between the living body and the specter body.】
【All Human-Specter Symbiont dungeon bosses should know what perfect fusion means. Under the state of perfect fusion, you can freely switch between your living body and specter body.】
【The living body is just like a normal human. Because of your special constitution, you won't die, though you will still bleed and get hurt if attacked. However, you are completely immune to any attacks or support measures targeting specters.】
【On the other hand, for the specter body, only specter items, talents, and rules can take effect. Aside from these, it is immune to any other form of attack.】
【Therefore, for Human-Specter Symbionts like us, perfect fusion truly lives up to its name!】
【Under the state of perfect fusion, we can switch states at will.】
【When we switch to the living body state, we are immune to any means targeting specters. When we switch to the specter body state, we are immune to any attack other than those targeting specters.】
【In other words, after achieving perfect fusion, we can switch to the specter body state to hunt down players, forcing them to use up their trump cards, and then switch back to the living body state right before their attacks land.】
【This way, we won't be repelled, and we'll also be immune to other negative status effects, such as being immobilized for a few seconds or having our specter perception disoriented.】
【Even if we take heavy damage from an attack while in our living body state, as long as our specter body is intact, we can quickly recover.】
【Pretty badass, right?】
After reading this, Zuo Lin'an couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He was truly shocked. At this moment, he finally understood just what level of boss a Human-Specter Symbiont was. It was practically close to invincible!
He immediately shared this post with Xu Youyou, though he didn't know if the other boy could look at his phone right now.
Xu Youyou replied almost instantly.
【Xu Youyou: Huh? What's this? Let me see!】
Less than a minute later, Zuo Lin'an was hit with a barrage of messages, just as he expected.
【Xu Youyou: Holy shit, holy shit!!】
【Xu Youyou: Oh my god, Brother An, where did you find this? I've been browsing the forum for so long and never saw it!】
【Xu Youyou: A post this important should be pinned! How did it get thrown into some forgotten corner?】
【Xu Youyou: Huh? Wait! That's not right. Why didn't Instructor An tell us about this? Isn't he specifically in charge of this area? He should know about this.】
Zuo Lin'an also found it a bit strange, but no matter how capable Instructor An was, he was just a teacher. It was impossible for him to cover every single detail.
Even on this forum, which was incredibly comprehensive with its information, this post had still been buried deep down.
【Zuo Lin'an: Instructor An might have forgotten, or maybe he just didn't know. After all, he's a Specter Master, not a Human-Specter Symbiont.】
【Zuo Lin'an: Also, now that we know the advantages of being a Human-Specter Symbiont, dealing with these players in the future will be much easier.】
【Xu Youyou: Hehe, I didn't expect that after achieving perfect fusion, we could actually switch states at will. It's practically invincible!】
【Xu Youyou: Right now, I even want to walk up to the players and tell them straight to their faces that I'm the specter.】
Zuo Lin'an raised an eyebrow.
This guy was already getting ahead of himself.
【Zuo Lin'an: It should be pretty easy on your end, right? After all, you only need the players to respond to you to trigger your rule.】
【Xu Youyou: Sigh! Don't even get me started!】
【Xu Youyou: After hearing Instructor An talk about those martial artists earlier, they sounded pretty tough. So I thought I'd play it safe for my first dungeon and only sent my specter body inside. I'm still waiting outside the white mist of the inner ring.】
【Xu Youyou: But these players are really stupid, haha!】
【Xu Youyou: I controlled my specter body to walk up behind them and call their names, or pat their shoulders, and they all responded. Do you know how terrified they were when they turned around and saw a specter right behind them?】
【Xu Youyou: Hehe! Wait a second, I'll send you the photos I took.】
