Chapter 160: The Unfortunate Eastern Sea City

This subordinate of No Lack of Money had always been kept close by his side. A few hours ago, when they had a conflict with Chen Mo, he almost started a fight. In the end, No Lack of Money said that hunter had real skills and should not be offended.

At that time, he did not understand. Now, after seeing the scene below, he was truly frightened.

More than forty Sea Clan players in total had died at the hands of that hunter just like that. If they had really started a conflict with him earlier, with their strength, they would not have been enough to even fill the gaps between his teeth.

“You are really amazing, boss,” this subordinate said admiringly to No Lack of Money.

To be able to do what No Lack of Money did, he indeed had some real ability. Before, he only thought No Lack of Money was a nouveau riche. Now it seemed, No Lack of Money was not at all like what he appeared to be on the surface.

“Such a good quest, ruined by him alone. If we had confronted him, it would probably have been very dangerous for us,” Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon sighed.

“Not necessarily. The people below just did not know his methods and suffered losses. If they had known he was setting traps, it would not have been difficult to interrupt him. At that time, it was still unknown who would win,” a Sea Clan player beside Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon said expressionlessly, not quite agreeing with Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon’s words.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Boss Qian, thank you for your help. If not for you, our quest this time would really have been ruined by that hunter. I don’t have much else, only a few slots to become Sea Clan players. Please accept them, Boss Qian,” Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon turned to No Lack of Money and said with a smile.

“Sea Clan players? Hahaha, I’m not interested at all! The Sea Clan cities are tiny places, and the number of players is small too. How can they compare to the fun on the human side?” No Lack of Money laughed heartily.

“You don’t want them? Then why did you help me?” Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon was stunned and asked with a frown.

“Of course to make this city more interesting! Think about it, which is more interesting: a complete, orderly city, or a city broken into by monsters?” No Lack of Money said with a laugh.

The Sea Clan players beside Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon all felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this. With this Boss Qian around, Eastern Sea City was truly extremely unlucky.

…

Hahaha, just by doing a quest casually, I earned several thousand points again!

Beside the Wind Magic Array, Chen Mo looked at his points which had increased by a large amount, feeling ecstatic.

Earlier, the group of Sea Clan players chasing him numbered twenty-one. After returning to the magic array, he killed another thirteen, making a total of thirty-four people killed!

Thirty-four people. For each kill, he and Xue Ye Hua each got 110 points. In total, each of them gained more than 3700 points.

It was not as many points as killing people inside the Sewer, but the original purpose of this quest was not to kill for points, but to protect the magic array and obtain the Wind Skill Book. Getting 3700 points now was an unexpected surprise.

However, Chen Mo felt the biggest gain was still the application of the Vortex Trap.

Initially, facing the pursuit of more than twenty Sea Clan players, Chen Mo waited until they got very close, then had Sesshylow use her Hurricane Skill.

But the Sea Clan players were prepared. Although Chen Mo seized a very good opportunity, Sesshylow’s Hurricane Skill only caught eight people inside.

The Hurricane Skill had a large range. While the skill lasted, the Sea Clan players did not dare to get close. At that moment, Chen Mo had a sudden idea and used Trap Manipulation to set a Vortex Trap underneath the hurricane.

Those Sea Clan players, as soon as the Hurricane Skill ended, immediately surrounded him, wanting to kill Chen Mo to get the 5000 points reward.

To chase Chen Mo, those who came were mostly melee players. After all, ranged players were slower and would not be able to catch up even if they came.

As a result, these melee players, once they got close and attacked Chen Mo only a few times, immediately met with tragedy.

The Vortex Trap activated, and almost all the players chasing Chen Mo fell into the trap.

Under Sesshylow’s Hurricane Skill, a few people had not died. Once the Vortex Trap started, they immediately died.

As the gray vortex appeared, Chen Mo, Xue Ye Hua, and Sesshylow attacked repeatedly. More than twenty people were halved in the blink of an eye.

The remaining half also had dangerously low Health Points. Cooperating with Xue Ye Hua, Chen Mo spent only a few minutes to wipe them all out, then hurried back to the magic array.

In the previous battle, Chen Mo had tasted success. He rushed into the battlefield, not attacking the Sea Clan players, but immediately started setting the Vortex Trap.

Chen Mo was already somewhat proficient with the Vortex Trap. The Sea Clan players did not know he was setting a trap and did not deliberately interrupt him. With Sesshylow and Xue Ye Hua beside him helping to block some unavoidable attacks, Chen Mo spent a little over ten seconds and successfully set the trap at once.

Then the Vortex Trap activated, and the Sea Clan players were completely doomed.

With this Experience, Chen Mo believed that once he practiced and became more proficient, the Vortex Trap would no longer need to be set secretly in advance like before, luring enemies to step into it. He could largely set the Vortex Trap while evading attacks during combat. Once successful, the enemies were almost certainly dead.

“Brother Silence, hello, I am Bai Ying, the guild master of Eagle Society. Thank you for your help. Very glad to meet you. If you need any help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask!” Bai Ying brought someone with him and walked towards Chen Mo, taking the initiative to show friendliness.

“Brother Silence, I am Night Glow. Although I am not from a major guild, I do know quite a few people. If you need help with anything, please feel free to ask!” Night Glow also stepped forward, speaking with a full smile.

“Hello, I am Bloody Rose. Thank you for your help,” Bloody Rose also stepped forward and thanked him sincerely.

All three knew that this hunter before them was extraordinary. When encountering such a powerful player, not seizing the chance to get to know him would really mean there was something wrong with their heads.

“No need to thank me. We are all here for the quest. Helping each other is only right,” Chen Mo smiled and added each of them as friends.

He had only been in Eastern Sea City for a few days. Getting to know more people was good. If something really happened, he could try asking them for help.

The Sea Clan NPCs retreated. The six Human Race NPCs began to repair the magic array with full effort.

The attention of Bai Ying and the other two also turned to that. Although the Sea Clan players and NPCs were gone, they were not sure whether the magic array could be repaired and activated within the quest time.

However, Chen Mo and Xue Ye Hua were very calm. As long as no Sea Clan players attacked from now on, they just needed to wait for the magic array to activate, and their quest would be considered completed.

The six NPCs repaired the magic array very quickly. The magic array itself had not suffered much damage. Even though the magic array was quite huge, it only took over ten minutes to complete the repairs.

Then, the six NPCs each took out a green Magic Crystal Stone and placed them at the six diagonal positions of the magic array.

Whoosh!

In the darkness, streams of green light flashed from the huge magic array ahead. The Wind Magic Array was officially activated!

System Notification: You have completed the quest “Protect the Wind Magic Array”!

As the System Notification sounded, both Chen Mo and Xue Ye Hua felt their spirits lift.

The quest was completed. As long as they returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, each of them would receive a Wind Skill Book!

“Our quest is done. We’ll take our leave first!” Chen Mo greeted Bai Ying and the other two, then prepared to return to Eastern Sea City with Xue Ye Hua.

“Brother Silence, let’s go together! Our quest can be considered completed too.”

Bai Ying and the other two followed along in very good moods.

They thought they were going to be killed and fail the quest, but in the end, they completed it. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the Wind Magic Array had been successfully activated, they did not need to stay here anymore. Naturally, they thought of simply returning to the city together to avoid being ambushed by Sea Clan players on the way.

Chen Mo certainly had no objections. The group of seven quickly ran back towards Eastern Sea City.

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Halfway there, the seven felt bursts of strong gusts of wind blowing from behind them towards Eastern Sea City.

The Wind Magic Array had officially begun operating!

This continuous west wind would blow to Eastern Sea City, blowing away the Crimson Poison Mist in the city. When they hurried back to Eastern Sea City, they would just be in time to enter the city and claim their rewards.

More than ten minutes later, under the pale white moonlight, they could already see the outline of Eastern Sea City.

The west wind was still blowing constantly. After blowing for so long, even if there was a lot of Crimson Poison Mist in Eastern Sea City, it should have been completely blown away by now.

Two minutes later, they reached the city gate of Eastern Sea City. Before they got close, they saw with sinking hearts that near the city gate, large groups of Eastern Sea City players were lingering.

What was going on?

The seven approached and were surprised to find that the Crimson Poison Mist inside Eastern Sea City had not decreased at all; instead, it had become even thicker.

“The magic barrier protecting Eastern Sea City was actually activated again?”

Xue Ye Hua said in surprise.

She clearly remembered that when she and Chen Mo came out of the Sewer, the Magic Barrier covering Eastern Sea City had been removed to allow the Crimson Poison Mist to disperse.

But the Crimson Poison Mist was very heavy. Even after removing the Magic Barrier above the city, the Crimson Poison Mist would not automatically dissipate, which was why there was a quest to activate the Wind Magic Array.

Now the Wind Magic Array was activated, but the city’s Magic Barrier had suddenly appeared, blocking all the west wind blowing towards Eastern Sea City. The Crimson Poison Mist inside the city had not been blown away at all.

“So, how is the magic array I had people set up?”

Further away from the city gate, Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon and No Lack of Money also walked back.

Looking at Eastern Sea City enveloped by the Magic Barrier, No Lack of Money said with a laugh.

“Perfect,” Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon praised and nodded.

That Magic Barrier was originally supposed to be completed by Sea Clan players. But by chance, Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon met No Lack of Money, and then No Lack of Money actually said he would assist Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon in completing the quest to destroy Eastern Sea City.

There were many patrol guards on the city walls of Eastern Sea City. The final part of the quest was to set up the Magic Barrier on the city walls just in case. Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon originally had almost no chance of completing this quest. So, even though he did not quite trust No Lack of Money, he still let No Lack of Money’s people do it.

As it turned out, this No Lack of Money person could not be measured by common sense. His people perfectly set up various magic arrays on the city walls, causing Eastern Sea City’s Wind Magic Array to completely lose its intended effect.
