"In this lake, there used to be a very powerful Water Elemental Creature. She evolved from a low-level Water Elemental Creature and gradually gained a humanoid form. After countless battles, she finally became a very powerful creature. She was called the Elemental Goddess, Ceci Hailow, during the war against the humans.
However, during the war more than a hundred years ago, Ceci Hailow attempted to sneak through this lake to attack the humans. In the end, she was beaten back to her original form by the strong humans who ambushed her, "Belvicente said slowly as he looked at the blue lake.
"How strong was she at her strongest?"
Chen Mo was speechless. Damn, he did not know that there was such a strong story behind this lake.
"She was the strongest monster among the Level 80 monsters in the eyes of you human adventurers," Belvicente said after thinking for a while.
The strongest monster at Level 80? Wouldn't that be a Level 80 super boss?
"After she was beaten back to her original form and stayed in this lake, what's her level now?" Chen Mo asked again.
"Level 18."
"Only Level 18? What's so scary about that?" Chen Mo suddenly felt that the blue lake was not that scary anymore.
"Hehe, young man, you don't know how powerful Ceci Hailow was back then. Although the strong humans who ambushed her managed to beat her back to her original form, they also paid a huge price!
Ceci Hailow was absolutely invincible among those of the same level!
After she was beaten back to her original form, not only did her level drop drastically, but she also lost her memories and only had some basic abilities left. However, she was good at mind control. As long as your level was not higher than hers, she could instantly control your body. Even if your level was slightly higher than hers, she could spend some time to make you use your combat abilities within her range!
If your level was not high enough, you would not be able to defeat her no matter how many of you there were. If your level was high enough, she would hide in the lake and become one with the lake, not appearing at all.
I've lived here for a few years, and all these years, I've never seen her real face even once. All I've seen are weak monsters formed by her mind control, "Belvicente sneered.
Mind control?
Belvicente really saved his life. Otherwise, he would have died before he could even react when he walked to the side of the lake.
He thought that with his current HP, low-level monsters and even bosses would not be able to insta-kill him.
But now, it seemed that he was wrong.
Ceci Hailow was an expert in mind control. Under her mind control, he would definitely die. It would be a tragedy if he couldn't move at all.
"Ceci Hailow wants to snatch the crystal to recover her strength?"
Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat as he recalled how Cecil had controlled the water ball monster to attack him. He could not help but ask urgently.
"That's right.
Back then, Ceci Hailow had absorbed crystals to strengthen herself.
Although she had returned to her original form, she instinctively knew that she had to find crystals. As long as she had enough crystals, her level would increase and she would regain her strength.
I wanted to get the crystal in hopes of luring her out. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed, "Belvicente sighed.
Chen Mo's heart raced when he heard that.
Ceci Hailow could use crystals to level up. If he could capture Ceci Hailow and make her his pet, wouldn't that mean that he had a boss pet that could level up?
Ceci Hailow's highest level was 80. That meant that before she reached level 80, he would not have to worry about pets anymore.
It was already very difficult to level up now. Reaching level 80 was a matter of time. If he could capture Ceci Hailow, he would have a powerful boss follower for a long time!
No!
A boss follower!
It was such a good thing. Regardless of whether he could capture it or not, it was definitely worth a try!
"Then, Mr. Belvicente, what do you want me to do for you?"
From what Belvicente had said, it was impossible for him to capture Ceci Hailow alone. A low-level player would be courting death. A high-level player like Ceci Hailow would not appear at all. Now, he could only rely on the old man Belvicente.
"Ceci Hailow won't appear, but I have a way to force her to appear.
As long as I use ice magic, I can instantly freeze the lake. Ceci Hailow will have no place to hide and will have no choice but to reveal herself. "
"Freeze the entire lake?
How do you do that? "
Chen Mo looked at the azure lake. This lake was definitely not something that an ice mage could freeze, much less a hunter like him.
"There is only one person in the entire Capital of Shadows who can do that. That person is the ice mage Andgren who lives in the Frozen Earth Region.
As long as he is willing, he can freeze the entire lake with a Frozen Earth Magic Scroll.
However, that old man has a grudge against me. He knows that I want his scroll, so he will never give it to anyone else. "
Belvicente giggled. Chen Mo was speechless. He knew that this mission was not going to be easy.
"But it's not like there isn't a way. That old man has a beloved ice pet. Recently, his pet has fallen ill. The old man can't do anything about it. He doesn't even know the cause. If you can figure out the cause, you can ask the old man for the Frozen Earth Magic Scroll. He will give it to you even if he is unwilling," Belvicente hurriedly said when he saw that Chen Mo's gaze was a little unfriendly.
"Do you think a mere hunter like me can figure out the cause of a pet that even an ice mage can't figure out?" Chen Mo looked at Belvicente in confusion.
"You are so weak, but you have a monster that is stronger than you following you. Don't you have the Heart of Nature?" Belvicente looked at Chen Mo, puzzled.
So that was the case. No wonder the old man looked at him differently when he first saw the big fatty.
The old man thought that he had the Heart of Nature.
"Alright, I'll try my best. But what can you give me if I get the Frozen Earth Magic Scroll?" Chen Mo changed the topic.
"This skill book." Belvicente moved his hand and took out a skill book.
Whirlpool Trap: Rare Trap Skill Book. Level 20 and above. Can only be learned by Hunter players who have mastered Trap Mastery.
Whirlpool Trap: A high-level trap set up with Dark Magnet Powder and other materials. Once the trap is triggered, it will create a strong suction force on surrounding enemies and cause continuous damage to enemies within the trap!
A high-level trap that requires materials to set up!
Chen Mo was shocked. This was the first time he had seen a trap that required materials to set up in the game!
From the description of the skill, this Whirlpool Trap had high damage and crowd control. It was stronger than any of the trap skills that he had!
"Sure, but I also want a Rock Corrosion Potion Recipe."
Chen Mo was already attracted by the Whirlpool Trap Skill Book and was about to agree to Belvicente's request. However, when he remembered that Belvicente had a Rock Corrosion Potion, Chen Mo had an idea and asked Belvicente to increase the reward.
The effect of the Rock Corrosion Potion was too strong. In the game, the monsters on the second floor of the mining area were not only rock-type monsters.
He was now a Master Potion Master. He could not waste a Master Potion Master Skill. As long as he could get the recipe, he would have no problem making the Rock Corrosion Potion. If he encountered rock-type monsters in the future, he would not have to be afraid.
Even if he could not use it, he could make a lot of money by making it and selling it.
"Greedy guy. But no problem. As long as you can get the Frozen Earth Magic Scroll, everything is negotiable." Belvicente thought about it and agreed.
As long as he could capture Ceci Hailow, a Potion Recipe was nothing to him.
"Mr. Belvicente, what do you plan to do after you get the Frozen Earth Magic Scroll?
Kill Ceci Hailow? "
Chen Mo asked from afar. Belvicente turned around and left.
"Hehe, young man, that's not something you should know!" Belvicente chuckled. He did not answer Chen Mo's question.
…
Chen Mo spent an entire day killing monsters on the second floor of the mining area. Along the way, he encountered some players. He either ran away or scared them off, but he did not kill them.
It was not worth it to spend almost an hour to clear his Sin Points after killing one player.
Even so, when Chen Mo logged off, he still had 7 Sin Points left to clear. He still had to continue tomorrow.
However, Chen Mo was not in a hurry. If he wanted to capture Ceci Hailow, he had to reach Level 18 first. If he did not reach Level 18, he would not complete Belvicente's quest.
Tomorrow, he would be able to reach Level 18 after another day of killing monsters.
After going offline, Chen Mo did some research on the permafrost region.
After checking, Chen Mo discovered that the Frozen Earth Region was also an unusual region.
The Frozen Earth Region was a spawn point for Level 16 monsters. Moreover, it was one of the few unexplored Level 16 areas around the City of Shadows.
However, although the Frozen Earth Region had not been successfully explored, most of the areas in the Frozen Earth Region, especially the central area, were not covered by the white fog.
It was all because the temperature in the Frozen Earth Region was too low. The white fog had frozen and fallen to the ground. After a long time, the Frozen Earth Region was formed.
However, the strangest thing was that the sealing circle in the Frozen Earth Region had been discovered by players a long time ago. However, until now, no one knew what the Region Elites in the Frozen Earth Region looked like.
It was not that everyone was not curious, nor was it that the Ice Mage in the Frozen Earth Region would stop the players. It was because the sealing circle in the Frozen Earth Region had been completely frozen and could not be activated at all!
Chen Mo sweated slightly. This Ice Mage Undergrün was much more powerful than he had imagined.
Then, Chen Mo searched for Undergrün's information and found that Undergrün's pet really had a problem. He had issued many quests to many players, and the quests had attracted a lot of attention on the forums.
Chen Mo carefully read these posts and committed them to memory.
The next day, Chen Mo continued to kill Ore Giants on the second floor of the mine. Finally, before logging off, he reached Level 18 in one fell swoop.
Level 18 was definitely the highest level in the game. It was said that the highest level in the game was Level 19. Most of the players were still at Level 16 or 17.
After reaching Level 18, Chen Mo took off the Heinous Crime title that he had been wearing for a week and ran back to the City of Shadows.
After returning to the City of Shadows, Chen Mo threw away his Stone Skin and other items, as well as a lot of ores, into the warehouse. After he was done, he ran back to the Frozen Earth Region.
…
The first part was even better.
