Chen Mo practiced his traps in the real world until 6 PM. After dinner, he went online.
After going online, Chen Mo appeared near the entrance to the second floor of the Blackwood Mine.
Currently, the players' Mining Levels were not high, and the second floor had yet to be explored. The monsters inside were of high levels, so basically no one would go to the second floor.
With no one around, Chen Mo dodged and entered the second floor through the narrow tunnel.
As expected, the second floor was shrouded in a layer of white fog. Chen Mo's field of vision was less than 20 meters. He could only summon Big Fat and carefully move along the tunnel walls.
On the tunnel walls, there were some strange stones that looked like ores. However, not to mention that Chen Mo's Mining Level was only Basic Level, even with his Basic Mining Skill, he could only look at these ores. If his skill level was not high enough, he would definitely not be able to dig them out.
"There are three types of monsters on the second floor of the mine. Level 15 Ore Monsters, Level 16 and 17 Ore Rats, and Level 18 Ore Giants. If I don't go too deep, I shouldn't encounter any Ore Giants."
Chen Mo carefully recalled the information he had read about the second floor on the forums. Near the entrance to the second floor, there were mostly Level 15 Ore Monsters. However, as he went deeper, he would encounter higher-level Ore Rats and Ore Giants.
Unlike Ore Monsters, Ore Devouring Rats were rats that devoured ores to become stronger. Depending on the ores they devoured, every Ore Devouring Rat would possess different characteristics. This was especially true for Level 17 Ore Devouring Rats. These Ore Devouring Rats had devoured plenty of rare ores in order to level up. There were very few Ore Devouring Rats among the Ore Devouring Rats, and they were much stronger than Level 16 Ore Devouring Rats.
As for Ore Giants, they were the most powerful monsters on the second floor of the mine.
Ore Giants were made of various ores, and their defense was frightening. As they fought, they could also absorb the ores around them to recover their HP. They were extremely difficult to deal with.
With Ore Rats and Ore Giants, these two troublesome monsters were also one of the reasons why guilds were unwilling to explore the second floor of the mine.
It was too troublesome, and there was no guarantee of victory against an Area Elite. Exploring this place was simply a waste of time.
"A monster has appeared!"
A Level 15 Ore Monster appeared in front of him. Chen Mo's spirits rose as he went up to meet it.
"Damn!
There are two of them! "
Chen Mo walked over to pull aggro, but he discovered that there were actually two Ore Monsters there.
Two Ore Monsters leaped towards Chen Mo, and Chen Mo quickly engaged them.
Monsters above Level 14 had very powerful attributes. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were elite monsters. It was not that Chen Mo could not defeat two Level 15 monsters at once, but it would not be very efficient. Big Fat's HP would also be reduced by a lot.
However, when he remembered that Big Fat still had a Flower Goblin Battle Spirit, Chen Mo let loose and attacked.
The Flower Goblin Battle Spirit's healing skill had a cooldown of about 30 minutes. With Big Fat's HP, if he was careful, he would be able to tank for 30 minutes with only half of his HP left.
Moreover, wasn't he able to summon a Mutant Slime?
Chen Mo called out Qi Di and quickly found the weak points of the two Ore Monsters. He then began to attack them.
"The speed at which I set up the traps is clearly much faster than before!"
With the Dark Gold gloves, Chen Mo's trap damage was considerable. When he was setting up the traps, Chen Mo discovered that the hours of practice in the real world during the day had obvious results. Compared to last night, his setting up of the traps was much smoother. Whether it was the time it took to set up the traps or the skill completion rate, they were all improved.
As long as he practiced for a few more days, he would definitely be able to improve his traps!
The only thing that dissatisfied Chen Mo was that he had too few types of traps. Although he had made some progress in analyzing the patterns of the traps, the progress was not clear. It was not enough for him to improve qualitatively.
As he gradually familiarized himself with the strength of Level 15 monsters, Chen Mo also found a rhythm in killing the Ore Monsters. The damage that Big Fat received gradually decreased.
System Notification: You have received a "Black Crystal Ore"!
Last night, there was a little Warrior beside him mining non-stop. Ding ding ding ding sounds of mining could be heard. Chen Mo had killed monsters for the whole night and did not feel anything. Now that he was alone, Chen Mo could not help but miss the little Loli Warrior after killing the Ore Monsters for more than three hours.
It felt good to have someone by his side, even if they did not speak.
Just as Chen Mo was sighing with emotion, a system notification rang. Chen Mo was slightly stunned.
This was another ore that he had never seen before. It was similar to the "Crystal Ore" from last night, except that there was an additional "Black" prefix in front of the ore.
Black Crystal Ore: Rare ore. Can be refined into a Black Crystal of unknown use.
Unknown use?
What a strange ore. However, this Black Crystal Ore was definitely rarer than the Crystal Ore!
With the good stuff coming in, Chen Mo's spirits were lifted. He woke up and practiced with all his might to reduce the time it took to set up the traps.
As a Trap Hunter, no matter how strong his attributes were, traps would become more and more important in the future. If he could not set them up skillfully, the power of the traps would be greatly reduced!
"Roar!"
Another hour passed. Chen Mo was still silently killing monsters and practicing his traps.
The proficiency of his movements had obviously improved compared to yesterday.
However, at this moment, Big Fat let out a fierce roar. Its Amethyst body suddenly jumped behind Chen Mo!
What was this big guy trying to do?
Chen Mo was a little confused. The next moment, his pupils shrank as he saw Big Fat's slightly clumsy body, which had jumped behind him, was sent flying by something!
A monster was ambushing him!
After Big Fat's body was sent flying, Chen Mo saw a small figure hit Big Fat and flew a few meters before falling to the ground!
A monster that could turn invisible!
Chen Mo was shocked!
He had been on the forum for a period of time, but he had never heard of a monster that could turn invisible!
The monster that was trying to ambush him in front of him definitely knew how to turn invisible!
The monster was definitely not more than 20 meters away from him. It was within his field of vision, but he could not see the monster's figure!
The monster's ambush was blocked by Big Fat and it fell to the ground. Only then did Chen Mo see the monster's shape clearly.
It was a very strange monster.
Its entire body was transparent, like a ball of water. The monster's name was "???".
Even though Chen Mo hurriedly threw a Detection skill over, he could not get any information about the monster.
What was going on? Didn't they say that there were only three types of monsters on the second floor of the mine? Why was there an additional type of strange monster that did not even have a name?
The water ball monster's attack was blocked by Big Fat and it fell to the ground. It did not give up. It bounced on the ground and shot toward Chen Mo again. It seemed like it would attack Chen Mo even if it was beaten to death, completely ignoring Big Fat.
However, at this moment, a figure broke out of the white fog behind the water ball monster.
The figure waved his hand and a broken fishing net flew toward the water ball monster at lightning speed.
The water ball monster did not have time to react. Before it could reach Chen Mo, it was caught by the broken fishing net that suddenly appeared and fell to the ground.
The water ball monster bounced around in the broken fishing net, trying to break free from the broken fishing net.
The fishing net looked broken, but the water ball monster used all its strength and was still tied up tightly.
The old NPC who threw the broken fishing net quickly rushed over, wanting to catch the water ball monster.
Just as he was about to reach the water ball monster, the water ball monster's body suddenly expanded and then softly turned into a puddle of water and fell to the ground.
"Sigh, I'm still one step too late. I really can't catch it like this." The old NPC sighed regretfully.
Then, he looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked at the old NPC cautiously.
This old man was the NPC who bought the crystal ores on the second floor of the mining area, Belvicente.
As far as he knew, this old man Belvicente had a small wooden house on the second floor of the mining area and never left it. This time, for some unknown reason, he actually ran to this place that was not far from the entrance of the mining area.
This old man was definitely not someone he could deal with if he could live on the second floor of the mining area. Chen Mo was currently blacklisted, so he felt very guilty when facing Belvicente.
If this old man wanted to kill him, it would be very difficult for him to escape.
However, Belvicente did not seem to feel anything towards Chen Mo who had the title of Heinous Crime. It was as if he was no different from a normal player. Belvicente's eyes only looked at Chen Mo with disinterest. However, when he saw Big Fat, his eyes suddenly lit up.
