Chapter 181: Black Giant Egg
Chapter 181: Black Giant Egg
The Divine Punishment Witches had terrifying attack power. Every one of their strikes could deal over one hundred thousand Health Points of damage.
In a short time, several Sea Clan guards had already died and fallen to the ground.
Chen Mo was excited. He didn’t expect that the wooden token Enoch gave her had such an effect. If he could lead these twelve Divine Punishment Witches, he could dominate the Game!
So many Sea Clan guards were no match for the twelve Divine Punishment Witches. Aside from some powerful Bosses in the Game, what else did he have to fear!
Even against those powerful Bosses, as long as they weren’t ridiculously overpowered, the twelve Divine Punishment Witches joining forces could kill them together!
“Retreat!” Beckmilo’s face changed dramatically. She knew they were definitely no match for these Divine Punishment Witches. Staying here any longer meant certain death.
The group of Sea Clan guards were already scared from the fight. Upon receiving Beckmilo’s command, they immediately scattered towards the Treasury exit, fleeing quickly.
The Sea Clan guards retreated, but the group of Divine Punishment Witches did not pursue them. Instead, they returned to their original positions, standing there motionless once again like statues.
“Come help me attack!” Chen Mo excitedly gave the order.
If these Divine Punishment Witches helped him attack these Magic Barriers, he might be able to empty the entire Sea Clan Treasury!
However, the Divine Punishment Witches seemed not to hear Chen Mo’s command. They remained standing there quietly, completely still.
Chen Mo knew there was no hope of getting the Divine Punishment Witches to help. He could only call Sesshylow and work hard to break the Magic Barrier on the blue Treasure Chest.
Just four more minutes, and this Magic Barrier would be broken.
But then, Chen Mo noticed that Sesshylow was staring blankly at the surrounding Divine Punishment Witches, seeming to be thinking about something.
Chen Mo was puzzled. Could Sesshylow also have some connection with the Divine Punishment Witches?
That didn’t seem right. Based on Sesshylow’s behavior so far, if she had any interaction with the Divine Punishment Witches, she would have shown some reaction the moment she saw them upon entering, not waiting until now to show a strange expression.
But this time, Sesshylow seemed to just space out for a moment. She didn’t pay any attention to Chen Mo either, just turned around and continued attacking the Magic Barrier on the blue Treasure Chest.
The Magic Barrier would break in just four minutes, but three minutes later, the twelve Divine Punishment Witches suddenly moved again.
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and looked towards the Treasury entrance.
Figures appeared there one by one.
Different from last time, this time the Sea Clan guards who appeared were wearing thick armor, especially protecting their vulnerable body parts completely.
Clearly, learning from the previous lesson of being attacked by the Divine Punishment Witches, these Sea Clan guards had prepared defenses specifically targeting the Divine Punishment Witches’ attacks.
The Divine Punishment Witches rushed over to attack violently. Chen Mo knew he couldn’t do anything about this situation. He could only focus entirely on breaking the Magic Barrier to get the items inside.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sounds of chaotic fighting came from the Treasury entrance. The battle there was fierce. However, the Divine Punishment Witches were truly formidable. Even though the Sea Clan guards were dressed like that, they still couldn’t pose an effective threat to the Divine Punishment Witches. But this time, the Divine Punishment Witches also found it difficult to kill these Sea Clan guards with such astonishing Defense.
Crack!
The Magic Barrier was finally broken. Chen Mo quickly walked over and opened the blue Treasure Chest.
System Notification: You obtained the Skill Book “Triple Shadow Kill”.
Triple Shadow Kill: Hunter skill book. Can be learned by Hunters who have mastered Seaspear Proficiency and are Level 25 or above.
It was actually a Sea Spear skill book!
This was one of his goals for coming to the Sea Clan! He hadn’t even entered a Sea Clan city yet, and he had already achieved it!
Chen Mo immediately clicked to learn Triple Shadow Kill.
System Notification: You learned the skill “Triple Shadow Kill”!
Triple Shadow Kill (Novice Level): Transform the Sea Spear weapon into three Shadows, attacking three enemies separately, dealing 150% Damage to each enemy. Skill Cooldown Time is 3 minutes.
Attacking three enemies simultaneously and dealing Damage to three enemies; this was clearly an area-of-effect skill!
An area-of-effect Sea Spear skill! Hmm, Chen Mo remembered. That night, among those skilled Sea Clan Players, it seemed one of them used the Triple Shadow Kill skill. He was quite envious of that guy back then. Now he had this skill too. Once he raised the skill Level, it would be another powerful move to kill enemies instantly!
His goal for coming to the Sea Clan would be perfect if he just obtained a high-level Sea Spear weapon. This Sea Clan Treasury had so many good things; surely there must be a Sea Spear weapon inside.
But the problem was, there were so many Treasure Chests, and he simply didn’t know which Treasure Chest contained a Sea Spear weapon.
And also… Chen Mo looked towards the Treasury entrance.
The sound of fighting at the entrance was intensifying. The Sea Clan guards showed no intention of retreating. They were probably locked in a difficult struggle.
The Sea Clan had so many people, while there were only twelve Divine Punishment Witches. Although they were powerful, they definitely wouldn’t be a match for so many Sea Clan members.
If Chen Mo retreated now, it was the best timing. The Divine Punishment Witches probably couldn’t hold on much longer. He estimated that in less than ten minutes, the Sea Clan would find a way to deal with the Divine Punishment Witches.
Assessing the current situation, Chen Mo quickly made a decision.
He decided to retreat to the Secret Waterway entrance. There, he would attack the Magic Barrier while observing the battle situation. If the Divine Punishment Witches showed the slightest sign of being unable to hold on, he would retreat immediately.
“Let’s go!” Calling Sesshylow, Chen Mo immediately moved.
“Huh! Revealing Gems!”
Passing by the bodies of several Sea Clan guards killed by the Divine Punishment Witches, Chen Mo surprisingly discovered that the Revealing Gems on their weapons could be picked up.
“Jackpot!” Chen Mo was overjoyed. These were Revealing Gems! With them, he would never have to fear the stealth skills of Hunters and Assassins again!
However, when Chen Mo picked up a Revealing Gem and looked at its Attributes, he was speechless.
Revealing Gem: Special item. Can detect hidden enemies nearby. NPC-only item. Players cannot use it.
This Revealing Gem was actually an NPC-only item. No wonder, with so many Players in the Game, no Player had ever been seen using one.
But he knew lots and lots of NPCs, and his relationship with them was pretty good, so he wasn’t worried about not being able to use them!
Chen Mo picked up all five Revealing Gems on the ground into his backpack in one go.
Retreating to the Secret Waterway entrance, Chen Mo looked towards his final target.
He had a feeling the Divine Punishment Witches couldn’t hold on much longer, probably not even ten minutes. So he didn’t choose the easiest target. Instead, he picked the target in the entire Treasury with the thickest Magic Barrier!
Just a few meters in front of the Secret Waterway entrance, there was an object, the only one in the whole Treasury not placed inside a Treasure Chest, yet protected by an extremely thick Magic Barrier!
The thickness of this Magic Barrier was at least ten times that of a normal Magic Barrier. Inside this astonishingly thick Magic Barrier was a Black Giant Egg with a radius of over one meter!
Chen Mo decided to gamble on his luck. He wanted to rely on the effect of the Power of Annihilation to destroy this incredible Magic Barrier in one go!
He might not be able to break other Magic Barriers anyway. Given that, he might as well go all out. If the Power of Annihilation really took effect, he would get this Black Giant Egg in his hands!
Chen Mo didn’t know what was inside the giant egg. But judging by the thickness of the Magic Barrier, the value of this Black Giant Egg was beyond doubt. If he could just break the Magic Barrier, he would definitely make a huge, huge profit!
However, the Power of Annihilation effect obviously couldn’t be triggered just by wanting it. Otherwise, Chen Mo would have been rich long ago.
Several minutes passed. The Sea Clan guards and Divine Punishment Witches at the Treasury entrance were still locked in combat. Chen Mo had been continuously attacking the Magic Barrier of the Black Giant Egg for several minutes, but the Power of Annihilation effect still showed no sign of appearing. It seemed Chen Mo was wasting his effort.
If the Divine Punishment Witches could hold on a little longer, perhaps if he hadn’t attacked the Black Giant Egg’s Magic Barrier, he might have obtained another item.
But Chen Mo didn’t regret it. Inside this Treasury, he had already gained quite a few benefits. Getting one more ordinary item wouldn’t make much difference compared to not having it. On the other hand, for that Black Giant Egg, if he didn’t try, he would never be satisfied.
“Cackle! Cackle!”
While Chen Mo was still attacking the Magic Barrier of the Black Giant Egg, sharp, strange cries suddenly came from the Treasury entrance.
That was the sound of the Divine Punishment Witches!
The twelve Divine Punishment Witches seemed to have gone crazy. Their bodies moved like phantoms as they began to frantically attack the Sea Clan guards. The Sea Clan guards, despite their amazing Defense, suddenly started taking significantly more damage.
With the situation like this, Chen Mo could probably persist for another ten minutes without a problem!
But Chen Mo remained unmoved. He continued to persist in attacking the Magic Barrier of the Black Giant Egg.
The strange cries of the Divine Punishment Witches were not only heard by Chen Mo; the entire royal palace of Tianhai City heard them clearly.
“Grand Mage Icewind, those twelve foreign Puppets have gone berserk. Please activate the Magic Array quickly and capture them. Otherwise, the losses for Tianhai City will be hard to estimate!”
Deep within the royal quarters, on an ancient altar, Beckmilo spoke respectfully to an elderly white-haired Grand Mage.
“Understood. The Magic Array is starting up. You may return and wait.” The Grand Mage named Icewind nodded faintly.
On the altar, a giant Magic Array shimmered with blue light.
Just one minute later.
Above the Tianhai City royal palace, a mass of dark clouds rapidly gathered above the Treasury.
Following that, a blue bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the dark clouds.
Boom!
The lightning was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it struck one of the Divine Punishment Witches at the Treasury entrance!
Crack!
The struck Divine Punishment Witch, her black body, suddenly stopped moving and turned into an ice sculpture!
This blue lightning wasn’t real lightning; it was an ice-based magic spell as fast as lightning!
Boom! Boom!
Two more blue lightning bolts flashed down. Two more Divine Punishment Witches below turned into ice sculptures!
“This isn’t good, I have to leave now!”
Seeing this, Chen Mo’s face finally changed dramatically.
The Sea Clan indeed had an even more powerful trump card. For the remaining nine Divine Punishment Witches, it would only take nine more lightning strikes. If he didn’t leave now, he would be captured again.
However, not being able to take this Black Giant Egg was truly a great pity.
Chen Mo stopped his attack and prepared to leave. But then, he suddenly remembered he still had one skill he hadn’t used yet.
Light of Hope
