Chapter 126: Sesshylow’s Abilities

After spending 50 Gold Coins to buy five Moonstones, Chen Mo immediately left to find Raphael.

Raphael moved around frequently. If Chen Mo didn’t go early, Raphael might go to a higher level, and Chen Mo didn’t have enough money to follow him.

Chen Mo only had about 170 Gold Coins in total. In the blink of an eye, he had spent over 70 Gold Coins, leaving him with less than 100. The Land of Exile was like a place where money flowed like water. Luckily, he was considered a small tycoon in the game. Otherwise, even with the Heinous Crime Title, it wouldn’t be much use here.

“The monsters didn’t respawn. I’m logging off. I’ll come back online after 11 PM.”

When Chen Mo went to find La Xia, many Blacklisted Players on the lowest level of the Land of Exile came online. They all rushed to the Second Level in a crowd. Everyone thought the monsters would respawn when they logged in at 6 PM. But for some reason, there were no monsters on the Second Level. These players were very disappointed and logged off one after another. Only a few people went back to the lowest level out of boredom.

The Second Level of the prison was huge. There were dozens of rows of prison cells arranged in a grid, with passages going in all directions. Chen Mo searched for a while before he found the staircase leading to the Third Level.

A snow-white three-tailed fox demon, as big as a small cow, was lying at the staircase entrance. When it saw Chen Mo approaching, it didn’t attack. It just opened its eyes and glanced at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo knew it wouldn’t attack players on its own, unless a player tried to rush into the staircase.

It was said that two large Guilds once gathered dozens of people to try to kill the three-tailed fox demon. They wanted to rush to the Third Level to kill monsters. The monsters on the Second Level were Level 15. The monsters on the Third Level should be Level 20. If they could kill the three-tailed fox demon, their speed of reducing Crime Value would definitely increase a lot.

But the result was that dozens of people were wiped out by the three-tailed fox demon in one move. After that, no one dared to provoke the three-tailed fox demon again.

Chen Mo approached and took out two Moonstones. The three-tailed fox demon’s eyes lit up. It stretched its head over, opened its mouth, took the Moonstones, and moved its body slightly, which was blocking the staircase, to make a path for Chen Mo.

Chen Mo knew La Xia hadn’t tricked him. He quickly rushed through.

He only had one hour. To avoid any accidents, he needed to hurry.

The staircase spiraled upward. Chen Mo soon reached the Third Level.

The Third Level had the same layout as the Second Level, with dozens of rows of prison cells.

There wasn’t a single monster on the Second Level, but the monsters on the Third Level hadn’t been killed by anyone yet. There were quite a few monsters. But as Chen Mo walked, he counted and found there were at most two hundred monsters on the entire level.

This was Chen Mo’s first time seeing the monsters in the Land of Exile. They were all ordinary beast monsters, nothing special.

All the monsters were inside the prison cells. As long as Chen Mo didn’t provoke them, they ignored his presence and just stayed quietly in their cells.

With no monsters blocking his way, Chen Mo quickly found the staircase entrance to the Fourth Level.

The guard was another three-tailed fox demon. After Chen Mo took out three Moonstones, the three-tailed fox demon immediately moved aside to let him pass.

The situation on the Fourth Level was the same as the Third Level. After wandering around the Fourth Level for a short while, Chen Mo found Raphael.

Raphael was a thin, old man in gray clothes. When Chen Mo walked over and talked to him, Raphael didn’t say anything. He just nodded and provided storage services for Chen Mo.

Then Chen Mo discovered with a dark face that the Land of Exile was a place that robbed you of money. It cost 10 silver coins to take one item out of storage. To take out all the equipment and items he needed, Chen Mo spent nearly four Gold Coins.

Chen Mo took out a set of Level 15 Green Equipment. He couldn’t wear any of this equipment yet. But the weapon was the Toxic Hand Crossbow he had used before. This purple weapon had been stored away after he replaced it, and now it happened to be just what he needed.

With the attribute bonuses from the Most Wicked status, what Chen Mo lacked most was a weapon. Without a weapon, his powerful attributes couldn’t be utilized.

As for that set of Level 15 Green defensive gear and accessory equipment, Chen Mo wouldn’t be leaving the Land of Exile anytime soon. Leveling up to Level 15 here was just a matter of time.

For the sake of that unknown second quest, and since he had a rare chance to visit the Fourth Level, Chen Mo naturally wanted to spend some time observing and studying.

But after wandering around the Fourth Level for over ten minutes, besides learning that the monsters here were around Level 25, he made no other discoveries. He could only return to the Third Level disappointedly.

He had a little over half an hour left before he had to return to the Second Level. Otherwise, after one hour passed, that three-tailed fox demon would turn hostile and not recognize him.

But for this half hour, he wasn’t in a hurry to return to the Second Level. There was no one here; he could test Sesshylow here.

Issuing the summoning command, Sesshylow, who was 1.3 meters tall, appeared in front of Chen Mo.

Her body was light blue and semi-transparent. Looking closely, it seemed like there was water flowing slowly inside Sesshylow’s body. It was very magical.

He had just switched to the Hibernation Pod, and all sensory feedback was enabled. Chen Mo couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch Sesshylow’s arm. A cool sensation came through. It felt very soft and comfortable.

Glancing at Sesshylow’s small but firm breasts, Chen Mo felt curious. Driven by a wicked impulse, he reached out, wanting to pinch them and see how they felt.

But a slight movement flashed in Sesshylow’s empty eyes. She shifted her steps, causing Chen Mo to grab at empty air.

Ahem. It seemed having wicked thoughts wasn’t allowed.

Chen Mo reflected on this. He looked at Sesshylow’s Attributes again.

It was still all question marks. After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo decided to use the pet skill potions he had taken out on Sesshylow first.

System Notification: Your pet Sesshylow learned the skill “Critical Strike”!

System Notification: Your pet Sesshylow learned…

…

Five System Notifications sounded in a row. Critical Strike, Heavy Blow, Extreme Speed, Hurricane, Skin Hardening. Sesshylow learned them all.

System Notification: Your pet Sesshylow’s Favorability towards you increased by 10 points!

Favorability increased!

Chen Mo’s spirits lifted. Besides making Sesshylow stronger, teaching her skills also served the purpose of increasing her Favorability.

There was no reason he couldn’t see his own pet’s Attributes. Even if Sesshylow was special, it shouldn’t be like this. The only reason was that Sesshylow didn’t want him to see. In that case, as long as he increased the Favorability, he would be able to see Sesshylow’s Attributes.

With the Favorability attribute bonus from being the Perfect Master, Sesshylow now had 20 points of Favorability towards Chen Mo.

Looking at Sesshylow’s attribute panel again, Chen Mo’s spirits lifted as he saw that Sesshylow’s Attributes were indeed visible now.

Elemental Trait: ???

After reading Sesshylow’s Attributes, Chen Mo frowned slightly.

Sesshylow’s Attributes were sealed quite severely. At Level 18, her HP was less than that of Big Fatty at Level 10. If he hadn’t given her several bottles of pet skill potions, she would only have one pitiful attack skill.

However, compared to Big Fatty, Sesshylow was undoubtedly more unique!

Psychic Control – this was absolutely a heaven-defying skill. It could control not only monsters but also players. He didn’t know if it worked on BOSSes. If it could even control BOSSes, even if it was just for a few seconds like with players, it would still be incredibly overpowered!

Next was the Mimicry skill. Chen Mo hadn’t expected Sesshylow to have such an ability. Although this ability could be easily broken, the skill was undoubtedly very useful and also quite wicked. If he ever fancied a certain beauty in the future, maybe he could have Sesshylow transform to look like her for some… fun!

He would need to see the Damage of Dual Boomerang Slash in battle. The effect of Elemental Body was obvious at a glance. But what was that Elemental Trait about? It was still a few unknown question marks.

Was it still not enough Favorability? Or was it an ability Sesshylow couldn’t use yet because her power was sealed?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo took out the last pet potion – the Pet Mutation Potion!

System Notification: Your pet Sesshylow drank the Pet Mutation Potion. Her Attribute abilities have mutated!

System Notification: Sesshylow’s Favorability towards you increased by 10 points!

Sesshylow (Mutated Degraded Form)

Description: A powerful elemental being once known as the Elemental Goddess. Damaged in battle, severely degraded, with most of her strength sealed. Due to a certain potion, she has undergone partial mutation.

Level: 18

Attributes:

HP: 100000

MP: 10000

…

Receiving the System Notification, Chen Mo quickly looked at Sesshylow’s Attributes again. He found that Sesshylow’s Attributes had indeed changed quite a bit.

Changed from Degraded Form to Mutated Degraded Form. The description was different. HP increased to one hundred thousand.

But as he continued looking, Sesshylow’s other Attributes hadn’t changed. Physical and Magic Attack were still 200 – 600. Speed hadn’t changed either.

Looking at the skills, Chen Mo’s eyes swept over them, and then they lit up brightly.

Sesshylow had evolved a very powerful new ability!
