Chapter 120: Sesshylow

Big Fatty’s identity was completely exposed and confirmed by players from Shadow City as a super BOSS.

Chen Mo had put a lot of effort into hiding its identity. If it had just obediently killed monsters, it wouldn’t have been exposed so thoroughly in less than two days.

However, not long after Chen Mo left it, this guy would not hesitate to sneak attack and kill any player who dared to get close.

At first, players were cautious and just accepted their bad luck. But with Chen Mo, the Blacklisted Player, gone, the players weren’t fools. They soon became suspicious. After all, normally, if they were innocently killed by another player, the System would tell them who killed them.

But when killed by Big Fatty, there were no prompts. It was fine if one or two people didn’t notice, but as the numbers grew, more and more people discovered the problem. Then, some fearless players sought out Big Fatty to test it again. They finally confirmed that this Mutant Slime King was not a player’s Pet, but a real BOSS!

BOSSes in the Game were very rare. Besides the BOSS in the Starter Village, no real BOSS-level monsters had been found in the Main Cities yet; the most common were just Area Elite level.

Many more players now wanted to kill Big Fatty. But ordinary people were no match for Big Fatty. Without level restrictions, its Level rose, and its Attributes and skills continuously strengthened. While following Chen Mo, it had learned to fight like a player. Plus, it was possessed by a powerful Flower Demon Battle Spirit. Even a Guild of twenty or thirty people was just easy prey.

Over two days, this guy wildly killed at least a thousand people. At its most dangerous moment, it was surrounded by over a hundred players and its Health Points dropped to half. It then used its splitting skill to create a clone. Once the clone appeared, the Flower Demon Battle Spirit regenerated Health Points. The situation for the over hundred players was instantly reversed, and Big Fatty slaughtered them all.

Chen Mo soon learned why Big Fatty liked killing players so much. Many players witnessed Big Fatty’s Level suddenly increase after it wildly killed that hundred-plus players who surrounded it. Clearly, killing players gave it greater benefits than killing monsters, making it easier to Level up.

However, Big Fatty was still just a wandering BOSS, unlike those BOSSes with territories and underlings to help. For Big Fatty, besides itself and the Flower Demon Battle Spirit, and perhaps Chen Mo, everything else—both monsters and Players—were enemies.

Two fists are no match for four hands. Big Fatty’s rampage eventually provoked powerful Guilds to join forces. It was said that several Level 2 Guilds like Dragon Soar, Blood War, and Soaring Cloud, along with some Level 1 Guilds, teamed up to attack Big Fatty.

Big Fatty’s Level had reached 18, but facing three or four hundred organized Players, it couldn’t possibly be their match.

Many thought this BOSS was finally going to be defeated. But facing so many people, Big Fatty actually used its wings to escape.

This guy’s wings really had hardened!

Chen Mo looked at the news and couldn’t help but sigh.

He knew that after reaching Level 16, Big Fatty wouldn’t be afraid of Players anymore, but he didn’t expect it to be this formidable. There was simply no one among the Players who was its match.

Chen Mo continued to wait for Bevicent on the Mining Area Second Floor for another two days. During these two days, Bevicent left his cabin once, but he wasn’t going to find Sesshylow; instead, he went somewhere unknown and only returned after a long time.

Over these two days, more news about Big Fatty came out. It was rumored that many were still hunting it, hoping it would drop epic equipment. But after wildly killing some more people, Big Fatty finally disappeared from the Players’ sight. For a whole day, no one saw it kill anyone. Some said they saw its figure in the Undeveloped Area, but it was unclear if that was true.

Chen Mo thought that news was probably true. After Big Fatty’s Level increased, the Experience gained from killing Players decreased. It naturally lost interest in killing Players. To continue Leveling up, it had to go to high-Level monster areas.

Then, a few days ago, the matter of the Blacklisted Player with Big Fatty was dug up. Knowing Big Fatty was a real BOSS, and unaware of the existence of the Soul Release Contract Scroll, Players pointed out that the Blacklisted Player was just bluffing. The BOSS wasn’t his Pet; he had just reached some kind of agreement with the BOSS and brought it to the Level 13 monster area. This explained why a high-Level Blacklisted Player would be loitering in a Level 13 area with a BOSS Pet.

This explanation was accepted by many. One reason was that no one had ever seen the Blacklisted Player fight. The mysterious Blacklisted expert, who seemed very impressive in many people’s eyes, was instantly pulled down from his pedestal and turned into a guy who was just lucky to receive a special Quest.

Seeing this news, Chen Mo was a bit amused, but of course he had no intention of debunking the rumor. It was fine for people to think that way.

Another two days passed. The commotion caused by Big Fatty gradually died down. Chen Mo had waited for Bevicent for nearly six full days. His originally almost highest Level had fallen behind a bit.

Just as Chen Mo began to suspect that Bevicent had another use for the Freeze scroll, Bevicent finally made his move.

“Young man, why are you following me!”

Bevicent sneaked out of his small cabin. Chen Mo quietly followed him. But Bevicent was old and cunning. Although Chen Mo used his Camouflage Skill, he couldn’t deceive him.

Staring at the spot where Chen Mo was camouflaged, Bevicent spoke bluntly.

“Haha, Mr. Bevicent, the weather is really nice today… Ahem, actually, it’s like this. I want to follow and see what Sesshylow looks like. She’s a legendary figure; getting to see her once isn’t easy.” Chen Mo laughed, trying to brush it off, but seeing Bevicent seemed unfriendly, he half-truthfully stated his purpose.

“Hehe, she’s a super beauty! Fine, come along if you want. But I warn you, you’re a tricky fellow. You’d better just watch and not mess around, or else in the future, when I, this old man, have nothing better to do, I’ll hunt you down every day!” The old man Bevicent chuckled, but didn’t forget to warn Chen Mo.

What he was about to do was very important. He wasn’t afraid of Chen Mo’s Level of strength at all, but if this guy caused trouble, it might be a bit troublesome for him.

“Okay! I absolutely won’t mess around, I’ll just watch!” Chen Mo patted his chest and guaranteed, silently adding the words ‘yeah right’ in his heart.

There were some Players on the Mining Area Second Floor, but most were doing Quests. Chen Mo and Bevicent, familiar with the path, arrived near the deep lake.

At first, many curious Players found their way here. But after a few days, all Players who reached the lake’s edge were inexplicably killed by monsters. This lake became famous on the Mining Area Second Floor, and no one dared to come here anymore. When Chen Mo and Bevicent reached the lake’s edge, they didn’t see a single Player’s shadow.

Bevicent hadn’t told Chen Mo how he planned to deal with Sesshylow. But Chen Mo knew that Bevicent, after spending so much effort, definitely didn’t want to kill Sesshylow. Sesshylow was now just a small Level 18 BOSS, and Bevicent wasn’t some righteous person; killing Sesshylow from the opposing faction wouldn’t benefit him.

Circling the lake, Bevicent took out pieces of grayish-white stone slabs and carefully arranged them around the lake’s edge.

Chen Mo moved closer and saw many Magic Crystal Stones emitting magical power on the slabs. Besides the Magic Crystal Stones, there were also small, thin crystals. However, these crystals were covered by a thin layer of light, probably to block the crystals’ aura so Sesshylow inside the lake couldn’t sense them.

It took over half an hour for Bevicent to finish setting up.

The grayish-white stone slabs formed a complete circle around the lake. After the slabs were arranged, Chen Mo saw hidden streams of light appear on them, enclosing the lake.

Bevicent was very satisfied. He finally took out the Freeze Magic Scroll.

“After all these years of effort, I’ll finally get a return today!” Bevicent muttered to himself. His hand moved gently, and the Freeze Scroll in his hand turned into a light blue breeze drifting towards the azure blue lake.

There wasn’t the earth-shattering commotion Chen Mo had imagined. But he was shocked to see the lake, under this light blue breeze, begin to rapidly freeze with cracking sounds. Almost in the blink of an eye, the large lake turned into a world of ice.

Mist swirled over the frozen lake. A small, azure blue figure appeared.

As the saying goes, women are made of water, but that’s just a metaphor. Sesshylow, however, was truly made of water. Her semi-transparent, faintly watery blue body looked very small, like a little girl. But the places that should be curvy were curvy, and the places that should be slim were slim. She didn’t look like a little girl at all.

Judging by her figure, the grown Sesshylow was undoubtedly a mature beauty. She had been reverted to her original form, which made her body so small. Although her figure was petite, like a little girl, Sesshylow exuded a faint, lurking murderous aura.

Sesshylow’s figure only appeared for a moment. The next instant, Chen Mo was surprised to find that she had disappeared from the frozen lake.

But Bevicent seemed prepared. He wasn’t worried at all. He took out another Magic Scroll from his hand. Using the scroll, white powder flew everywhere, dyeing the surroundings snow white. Chen Mo immediately saw Sesshylow, now entirely white, had somehow run behind Bevicent.

“She really can turn invisible!”

Chen Mo was excited. Now, no matter what, he had to catch Sesshylow!

Bevicent produced a Dagger in his hand and stabbed towards Sesshylow with a whoosh. A Damage number over a thousand floated up from Sesshylow’s head.

Chen Mo saw that Bevicent had no intention of killing Sesshylow; his attack wasn’t full force.

Sesshylow formed two water Daggers in her hands and fiercely attacked Bevicent. But how could Bevicent be hit by her? Even if he was hit, the current Sesshylow posed no threat to him.

Sesshylow’s Health Points decreased rapidly. When her Health Points dropped to half, Bevicent took out an ancient-looking Magic Scroll. He moved his hand, and the scroll transformed into a stream of black light that twisted and bound Sesshylow.

Sesshylow was tightly wrapped by the black light, losing her ability to move completely for a moment. Bevicent didn’t seize the chance to attack, but instead watched her nervously.

Damn it, this old man also wants to catch Sesshylow!

Chen Mo finally realized. This old man Bevicent actually had the same goal as him!
