Chapter 170: Change of Plans
There was an attack!
Both Lightning Little Ranger and Bloodbath to the End were experts and reacted swiftly. When Chen Mo and Sesshylow activated their big skills, the two used a flash strike and a Charge Skill respectively to escape the skill’s range.
The Vortex Trap and Hurricane Skill erupted, instantly causing massive damage to the members of the two guilds.
The two major guilds had brought mostly long-range classes like Archers and Mages, who had low Health Points. Under the two large area skills, those hit by the Hurricane Skill collectively lost eighty percent of their health. Those caught in the center of Chen Mo’s Vortex Trap died instantly, while those on the outskirts lost over two thousand Health Points.
When the Vortex Trap was activated, Chen Mo seized the chance to finish them off. With several shots from his crossbow bolts, a few who might have survived were also killed.
Just as the Vortex Trap was about to end, Chen Mo ran to three members of the Blood War Guild who still had more health and placed a Blasting Trap.
The three landed, and the Blasting Trap was triggered.
The power of the intermediate Blasting Trap was not low. They originally had just over a thousand health left, and before they could steady themselves, they were killed by the exploding trap.
The situation at Water Cloud Pavilion was slightly better. Almost everyone survived the Hurricane Skill, except for one or two unlucky ones who died due to a Heavy Blow or a Critical Strike effect. Sesshylow, because she had transformed into the Hurricane Skill, could not finish off those who did not die.
But when the Hurricane Skill ended and these Water Cloud Pavilion members survived, before they could even celebrate, Sesshylow fiercely charged at them.
“Attack together and kill her!”
Lightning Little Ranger shouted angrily, leading the charge against Sesshylow.
Sesshylow was completely unafraid. With an expressionless face, she used Swift Shadow Assault, rushed to a Mage with low health, raised her blade and struck down, killing that Mage. Then she used a Dual Boomerang Slash to kill another Archer beside her.
“Kill her for me!”
Lightning Little Ranger, with a cold face, charged to Sesshylow’s side. Faced with these fierce attacks, Sesshylow paid them little attention.
With her health pool, even if she let these people attack, it would not put her in danger anytime soon.
Sesshylow’s health continuously dropped sharply, but the Water Cloud Pavilion members around her died one after another.
By the time Sesshylow had lost thirty thousand health, all the Water Cloud Pavilion members except Lightning Little Ranger had been killed.
“Kid, who are you? How dare you offend my Blood War Guild!”
On the other side, Bloodbath to the End, whose members had also been killed by Chen Mo, could no longer hold back and roared at Chen Mo.
Blood War Guild?
What an unexpected encounter.
Chen Mo did not expect to run into people from the Blood War Guild in such a place.
“You’re not a senior member of the Blood War Guild, are you? Otherwise, how could you not know me.” Chen Mo smiled.
Bloodbath to the End was startled. Seeing that Chen Mo was a Hunter, he suddenly remembered someone.
He threw a Scouting Skill at Chen Mo. Chen Mo did not dodge or evade. Bloodbath to the End then stared at Chen Mo with a gloomy face: “It really is you. Do you intend to make the Blood War Guild your mortal enemy?”
As he spoke, Bloodbath to the End glanced towards Lightning Little Ranger’s side. Seeing that the Water Cloud Pavilion members had been wiped out by a beautiful Pet, his pupils constricted.
He had long heard that this guy had a powerful Pet. The Pet before him was different from what he knew, but its power was no less, perhaps even greater.
How did this guy manage to get such powerful Pets one after another?
In the Blood War Guild, he had heard some things about this Hunter. Originally, Bloodbath to the End did not take it seriously, but now seeing the person in real life, he felt this person was even more unfathomable than he had heard.
Just the Hunter’s performance earlier was several times more terrifying than what he had heard!
Bloodbath to the End had always been very confident in himself, but he also knew that right now, he was probably no match for this guy.
Without waiting for Chen Mo to answer, Bloodbath to the End had a thought and contacted Lightning Little Ranger: “Little Ranger, let’s join forces and kill him together. Alone, neither of us is his match! If we kill him, his Pet will automatically disappear!”
“Alright!” Lightning Little Ranger moved and charged towards Chen Mo’s side, intending to team up with Bloodbath to the End to kill Chen Mo.
Sesshylow naturally would not just watch Lightning Little Ranger leave. Chen Mo had given her the order to kill everyone here. She moved swiftly and quickly chased after Lightning Little Ranger.
Lightning Little Ranger was fast, but not a match for Sesshylow. She wouldn’t reach Chen Mo’s side before Sesshylow caught up.
But Lightning Little Ranger was prepared. She raised her hand and threw a handful of nails onto the ground in front of Sesshylow’s path.
Sesshylow was too fast; in such a situation, she couldn’t change direction in time. Her feet squarely stepped on the nails, and then her speed suddenly dropped by more than thirty percent.
“Kill!” Bloodbath to the End took the opportunity to charge at Chen Mo, intending to create a chance for Lightning Little Ranger to sneak attack.
Lightning Little Ranger was an Assassin. After getting close, she directly used Stealth. While Bloodbath to the End engaged Chen Mo, she circled to Chen Mo’s back for a sneak attack. With a Chisel Strike skill, even if Chen Mo was powerful, he would be half-dead from the combined attack of the two.
Chen Mo glanced at Lightning Little Ranger who was charging towards him. A snow-white long spear suddenly appeared in his palm. With a flick of his hand, the spear shot towards Lightning Little Ranger with lightning speed!
What kind of attack was this?
Lightning Little Ranger had expected an attack from Chen Mo, but she never imagined a Sea Spear attack. Her reaction was naturally a step slow.
And that one step made it impossible for her to dodge Chen Mo’s Powerful Throw.
Bang!
—4788!
A huge purple Critical Strike damage number floated above Lightning Little Ranger’s head. Chen Mo’s attack had triggered a critical hit again!
Chen Mo’s footsteps halted. He originally intended to rush forward and finish her off while she was hit, but it turned out to be unnecessary.
Bloodbath to the End, standing to the side, was stunned. He never expected Lightning Little Ranger to be killed instantly like that.
This guy was countless times stronger than what was rumored among the Blood War Guild’s senior members!
Bloodbath to the End was horrified inside. He felt he absolutely had to relay this message back to the Blood War Guild. Otherwise, the guild would suffer who knows how many major losses in the future!
Being the only one left alive, Bloodbath to the End still tried hard to resist, but Chen Mo just kited him, beating him to near death. After Sesshylow rushed over, she added two more strikes, and Bloodbath to the End died too.
On the lake surface, Haiweila, sitting in the Clamshell, was stunned when she saw Chen Mo rush out and kill the members of the two guilds.
These Human Adventurers were indeed just as the legends said, very combative. Clearly, they were all Adventurers of the Human Race, yet they were killing each other.
However, when she saw Chen Mo take out the Sea Stone Bone Spear and kill Lightning Little Ranger with one throw, Haiweila’s big eyes couldn’t help but light up.
A Sea Spear weapon! It was a Sea Spear weapon that only members of the Sea Clan could use!
“Adventurer, you can use a Sea Spear. Are you a member of the Sea Clan?” After Chen Mo killed Bloodbath to the End, Haiweila hurriedly moved the Clamshell closer to the lakeshore and anxiously asked Chen Mo.
Hearing this, Chen Mo was slightly stunned for a moment, then he had a thought.
Because of the Sea Spear in his hand, it seemed Haiweila had mistaken him for a Sea Clan Player!
Although Haiweila was very beautiful, Chen Mo originally planned to kill her after finishing off Bloodbath to the End and the others. But now, seeing that Haiweila seemed to mistakenly think he was a Sea Clan Player, he had a change of heart and altered his plan.
He decided not to kill Haiweila. Not only would he not kill her, but he would also rescue her!
Joanna only asked him to obtain the Necklace of the Sea God as a Token. If he could get Haiweila to give him the Necklace of the Sea God, he could return and complete the quest, obtaining the Dark Gold Weapon.
If he got the Necklace of the Sea God, Haiweila would naturally disappear from the Hunting Grounds. Rescuing Haiweila from the Hunting Grounds would achieve this effect. Moreover, by rescuing Haiweila, he would undoubtedly gain Favorability with Sea Clan NPCs. This way, it would be much more convenient for him to obtain Sea Clan Skill Books and Sea Spear weapons in the future. In the Human Territory, Sea Clan weapons and Skill Books were as rare as Dark Gold, hard to come by usually. He managed to get one this time only because of the Sea Clan’s attack on the city.
Doing this would undoubtedly cheat Joanna. However, deceiving NPCs was not something Chen Mo was doing for the first time, so he felt no psychological pressure at all.
That woman Joanna had left a rather poor impression on Chen Mo. Cheating her was no big deal; he didn’t care. Anyway, he didn’t plan to stay in Eastern Sea City for long. Even if Joanna later discovered Haiweila wasn’t dead, he wasn’t afraid.
The Game was vast; he could go anywhere!
Having made his decision, Chen Mo smiled slightly, walked up to Haiweila, and said: “Miss Haiweila, I am not a member of the Sea Clan. However, I do not stand on the Human Race’s side. I am a spy sent by the Sea Clan to the Human Race. This Sea Spear is the proof.”
Standing close and looking at Haiweila, Chen Mo couldn’t help but stare for a moment.
Darn, this beautiful female NPC was too tempting. That cicada-wing-like pink nightgown she wore was almost like wearing nothing. Instead, the way it hinted at the key areas was even more alluring.
“Indeed, I guessed correctly. You really belong to our Sea Clan. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to use a Sea Spear!” Haiweila excitedly clenched her small fists.
“Then, what are you doing here? Did you come specially to protect me because you knew those Adventurers wanted to kill me?” Then, Haiweila looked at Chen Mo curiously.
“No. I came here to rescue you!” Chen Mo shook his head.
“Rescue me?” Haiweila was stunned, her expression dimmed slightly, and she shook her head gently. “It’s no use. You can’t rescue me.”
“Why? No one here is stopping you, right?” Chen Mo was puzzled.
But Haiweila pointed at the Clamshell beneath her feet and said: “When I was very young, my grandmother told me that before I come of age, I cannot leave this Clamshell, or I will die very soon.”
There was such a setting?
Chen Mo’s heart sank.
No wonder no one was guarding Haiweila here, and she wasn’t locked in a cage like Peraldili. It turned out the people of the Land of Exile weren’t afraid of Haiweila escaping at all.
