Chapter 156: It’s Not The First Time Anyway
“They really ran away.” Xue Ye Hua brought Chen Mo to where the Magic Array was set up and found the remaining three people were already gone.
“The Magic Array isn’t fully set up yet, they haven’t been gone long. You destroy the Magic Array, I’ll go after them!”
“Okay!”
Chen Mo left Xue Ye Hua behind and chased after them with Sesshylow in the Sewer.
Three people, that was over a thousand Points.
Xue Ye Hua stayed behind and took out a Magic Scroll. This Magic Scroll was the quest item she obtained; by using the scroll, she could destroy the nearby Magic Array.
Whoosh!
Xue Ye Hua crushed the Magic Scroll. A fierce wind and fire suddenly swept through. The Magic Array that the Sea Clan Players had mostly set up was suddenly destroyed and left in a mess.
However, Xue Ye Hua still needed to clear away some of the debris to truly destroy the Magic Array.
Not long after Xue Ye Hua finished all this, Chen Mo came back.
“Killed them all?” Xue Ye Hua asked in surprise. It was too fast.
“Of course.” Chen Mo nodded.
Those three people were not fast. Sesshylow quickly refreshed and caught up, holding them back. By the time Chen Mo arrived, one person was already heavily injured. Then Chen Mo made his move and easily killed the three with Sesshylow. Also, since Xue Ye Hua wasn’t nearby, he got all the Points, gaining 1200 Points at once.
After accepting the quest to kill the invaders, Chen Mo had already killed ten people alone and cooperated with Xue Ye Hua to kill three, gaining over 4900 Points at once. His total Points were close to seven thousand again.
“You’re done too? Then let’s go, keep looking for people.”
Xue Ye Hua looked at Chen Mo like he was a monster, but Chen Mo was stimulated by the large number of Points and was eager to find other Sea Clan Players to kill. Killing one Sea Clan Player team, even when teamed with Xue Ye Hua, he could get nearly 2000 Points. The temptation was great.
Without waiting for Xue Ye Hua to respond, Chen Mo took the lead and walked ahead. Xue Ye Hua quickly caught up.
Five or six minutes later, Xue Ye Hua found a fully set up Magic Array. Chen Mo stopped and waited for Xue Ye Hua to destroy it.
“How many Points do you get for destroying one Magic Array?” Chen Mo asked curiously while waiting.
“Not sure yet, it will be settled together when turning in the quest later.” Xue Ye Hua shook her head, but for this kind of quest, no matter how you thought about it, the Points reward wouldn’t be low.
Chen Mo nodded, and the two continued forward.
There were many branching paths in the Sewer. After walking a few more minutes, they saw figures moving ahead. They glanced at each other, knew they were Sea Clan Players, and carefully moved forward together.
This team was also setting up a Magic Array. Chen Mo glanced at the team composition and immediately felt a bit of a headache.
“Another team with a Shield Knight.”
Originally, with Xue Ye Hua here, Chen Mo planned to forcefully kill any enemies they met. But with a Shield Knight, the difficulty of a forceful kill would be very high. If they were not careful and got Taunted, they could potentially be killed instead.
Although Chen Mo could interrupt the Taunt Skill, this only worked if the opponent was unprepared. Once the opponent’s Shield Knight was skilled or guarded against this move, the difficulty of interrupting the Taunt Skill from a distance would be extremely high.
“Set traps, stealth ambush!”
Seeing that this team’s Magic Array was almost complete, Chen Mo decided to set up Blasting Traps at the corner like last time.
“What about me? Should I retreat further away first?” Xue Ye Hua frowned. She didn’t have a stealth skill.
“Don’t worry, I have a way!” Chen Mo had Xue Ye Hua stand close to the Sewer wall. Then he waved his hand, and Sesshylow, just like last time, turned into a cloak and covered her. Sesshylow’s color gradually changed, soon becoming the same as the wall behind. In the dark Sewer, it was completely undetectable.
“Your Pet can be used like this too?” Xue Ye Hua was shocked. She said somewhat speechlessly.
Chen Mo smiled without speaking. Hehe, this big brother’s BOSS little sister has many more uses!
Telling her not to move around and expose herself, Chen Mo waited for the right moment at the corner.
About three minutes later, that Sea Clan Player team finally finished setting up the Magic Array.
Chen Mo immediately set down a Blasting Trap, and just like last time, linked it with a Thorn Trap and a Shockwave Trap.
For the left and right directions, he still chose the left based on footprints.
“The quest overall completion is almost done. Setting up one or two more traps, and the completion can reach over 95%!”
“Things might not be that simple. A while ago, I heard the completion dropped a bit. Someone started destroying Magic Arrays. And there’s a rumor that the perverted Hunter has also broken in. Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon is already planning to activate the Magic Arrays.”
“Is that so? But even if Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon activates the Magic Arrays now, our gains are still quite good.”
The few people discussed as they walked.
Boom!
As they passed the corner, a trap explosion sound was heard, followed by Damage numbers over a thousand floating above their heads!
This Sea Clan team was experienced. Knowing they were ambushed, they wanted to counterattack immediately. However, the Shockwave Trap enhanced by Chen Mo’s Trap Manipulation triggered fiercely at that moment. The six people were involuntarily pushed forward.
Slight Poison Crossbow! Venomous Assault!
Just like last time, Chen Mo appeared and immediately took the life of the Priest in the team.
Swift Shadow Assault!
Cyclone Slash!
While Chen Mo attacked, Sesshylow and Xue Ye Hua also launched their own attacks.
Sesshylow used Swift Shadow Assault followed by a Dual Boomerang Slash, landing a Critical Strike. The attacked Warrior undoubtedly died.
Xue Ye Hua attacked an Assassin. Cyclone Slash was a dual sword skill. After hitting the enemy, due to the heavy swords, it could cause a brief stiffening effect on the enemy. Chen Mo seized the chance to add two more arrows. This Assassin also died without being able to react.
One Warrior, one Mage, and the Shield Knight remained. The three resisted desperately. But under the strong attacks of Chen Mo and Sesshylow, plus Xue Ye Hua nearby, both the Warrior and the Mage couldn’t hold out for long before they died. Midway, the Shield Knight wanted to use the Taunt Skill, but with three people already dead, Chen Mo, Sesshylow, and Xue Ye Hua were all on guard against the Shield Knight using Taunt. At such close range, the Shield Knight certainly couldn’t succeed. After the Warrior and Mage died, the Shield Knight could only be surrounded and beaten to death by the three of them.
After killing six Sea Clan Players, Chen Mo’s available Points surged to over 8500. The total Points he obtained were close to twenty-seven thousand, firmly holding the top position on the Ranking List.
While Chen Mo was counting his Points, Xue Ye Hua was busy running to destroy the Magic Array.
At the same time, in a hidden corner within the Eastern Sea City Sewer, a Sea Clan Player team was hiding. The leader of this Sea Clan Player team was a male Player dressed in a white and blue robe, similar to a Human Race Priest.
He really was a Priest, but different from ordinary Priests. He was a Sea Clan Priest who had mastered the primary Ocean Heart, a Sea Priest!
“Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon, we can’t wait any longer. Just now, another team died at the hands of that Hunter. Next, there are several fully set up Magic Arrays on that route. If we don’t activate the Magic Arrays now, the quest completion will only get lower and lower. Our setup speed absolutely can’t keep up with their destruction speed! And even if we wanted to set up more, we don’t have extra quest materials.” A Warrior Player in the team, looking at a message he just received, said with a changed expression.
This Sea Clan Priest was Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon. A Player with such a name actually wasn’t a beauty, but a male Player.
However, Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon was quite popular among Sea Clan Players, especially Sea Clan female Players. For no other reason than Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon’s slightly weathered face, somewhat melancholy eyes, and pale skin made many female Players feel fondness for him upon seeing him. Moreover, Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon was a rather capable person among Sea Clan Players. The fact that he could receive this quest to destroy Eastern Sea City and become the overall commander of the quest was strong proof.
“Him again! It’s a pity it’s not yet time to confront him directly, otherwise, it would be interesting to see how powerful this person who killed so many of our Sea Clan Players really is.” Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon sighed slightly, then his expression turned serious. “No choice. Notify everyone to prepare to retreat. Activate the Magic Arrays.”
After saying that, Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon took out a large blood-red Magic Crystal Stone and placed it into a fully set up Magic Array at his feet.
The blood-red Magic Crystal Stone then produced an intense light. The light was dazzling, as if it wanted to pierce through the ground and shoot towards the sky!
“Retreat!”
Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon took out an ancient Magic Scroll. After he crushed this Magic Scroll, he and his teammates, along with the Sea Clan Players still remaining in the Sewer at that moment, were all enveloped by a light and instantly teleported to who knows where.
At the moment Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon and the others teleported away, stimulated by the blood-red Magic Crystal Stone, a thick blood-red mist surged out wildly from the Magic Array!
This blood-red mist, after surging out from the Magic Array, strangely was immediately sucked into the large Magic Array below.
And the next moment, from the other Magic Arrays in the Sewer, large amounts of blood-red mist emerged simultaneously. The mist that was sucked into the Magic Array was transferred to each of the set-up Magic Arrays.
The blood-red mist surged out from each Magic Array and quickly flowed towards all the Sewers!
“What is that!” Chen Mo and Xue Ye Hua were walking towards the next Magic Array. Just not far ahead of them, there was one Magic Array.
When the blood-red mist surged out, the two noticed it immediately.
They looked at the blood-red mist and were both startled because this blood-red mist looked very similar to the one they saw in the Hunting Grounds.
“Run!”
“It’s too late!”
They didn’t know if it was the same, but that blood-red mist was definitely not a good thing. Xue Ye Hua wanted to escape immediately, but Chen Mo, seeing the spreading speed of the blood-red mist, knew they couldn’t outrun it.
What to do?
Chen Mo glanced at Xue Ye Hua. Xue Ye Hua looked back at Chen Mo speechlessly.
“Stop looking. Come here. It’s not the first time anyway, why be shy!”
Chen Mo pulled Xue Ye Hua over, held her from behind, and then Sesshylow quickly formed a cloak layer over the surface of the two, just like in the Hunting Grounds.
Not long after Sesshylow formed the cloak, a surge of blood-red mist rushed over and enveloped the two of them.
“It really is the same as the Crimson Poison Mist from the Hunting Grounds!”
Sesshylow was fine, Chen Mo said in surprise.
