Ceci Hailow impatiently ran to a treasure chest and anxiously spun around, asking Chen Mo to open it.
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
This was the first time Chen Mo had seen Ceci Hailow with such an expression. He was very curious about the item inside the treasure chest. His hands and feet moved, swimming to the treasure chest and quickly opening it.
System Notification: You have obtained the item "Mermaid's Tear"!
From the treasure chest, Chen Mo took out an azure gemstone that looked like a crystal. However, from the system notification, this item was not called a crystal.
However, before Chen Mo could look at the item's attributes, Ceci Hailow swam in front of Chen Mo, snatched the Mermaid's Tear, and stuffed it into her little mouth.
System Notification: Your pet Ceci Hailow's abilities have greatly increased!
Greatly increased?
Previously, when she swallowed ten crystals, it only said that her abilities had increased!
Chen Mo was shocked. He quickly looked at Ceci Hailow's status panel.
Ceci Hailow, Level 23!
Health Points: 120,000!
Physical, Magic, Kilometers: 280-700!
Her level actually rose to Level 23 in one go?
What exactly was this Mermaid's Tear? It actually allowed Ceci Hailow's level to rise by three levels in an instant!
Chen Mo could not help but feel a little regretful. He knew that he might have allowed Ceci Hailow to consume this item too early. If he had delayed, Ceci Hailow might have risen to a higher level. The reason why she stopped at Level 23 was because she was limited by his level.
He was only Level 18. He estimated that Ceci Hailow would at most be five levels higher than him. If that was not the case, Ceci Hailow could ignore his level and continue to level up. As long as he found enough crystals, Ceci Hailow's level would far surpass the current player's level. This was too overpowered. It was impossible for such a setting to exist.
If he reached level 20 and let Ceci Hailow consume the Tears of the Mermaid, Ceci Hailow's level might rise to level 25.
However, Chen Mo didn't expect that the effect of a piece of Mermaid's Tear would be so powerful. It seemed that if he were to get something that Ceci Hailow wanted in the future, he would have to be careful about letting Ceci Hailow consume it. At least, he couldn't let today's incident happen again.
After quickly glancing at Ceci Hailow's attributes, Chen Mo discovered that this Mermaid's Tear not only increased Ceci Hailow's level by 3, but also gave Ceci Hailow an additional skill!
Mermaid Form: In an aquatic environment, Ceci Hailow can transform into a mermaid.
In her mermaid form, Ceci Hailow would have special attributes and abilities, but some of her normal attributes and abilities would not appear in her mermaid form.
She had an additional mermaid form!
With the ability to transform, Ceci Hailow could transform into a mermaid as long as she saw a mermaid.
However, this mermaid form was clearly different from the transformed mermaid form. The transformed mermaid form couldn't attack or be attacked, otherwise, she would revert to her original form. However, in her mermaid form, Ceci Hailow had the ability to attack!
Chen Mo really wanted to see what was different about Ceci Hailow in her mermaid form. However, there were still four treasure chests that had yet to be opened, so it wasn't the time to test out Ceci Hailow's new ability.
After consuming the Tears of the Mermaid, Ceci Hailow's ability had greatly increased, and her body had grown a little. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before she would grow to be no different from an ordinary adult. Her figure would also become more and more attractive.
System Notification: Ceci Hailow's Favorability towards you has increased by 5 points!
After obtaining the Tears of the Mermaid, Ceci Hailow was very happy. She swam to Chen Mo's side and rubbed against him. Chen Mo then received a system notification.
Hahaha, not bad, not bad. I've really earned a lot this time. Other things aside, Ceci Hailow's Favorability towards me has increased by 5 points. In this way, Ceci Hailow's Favorability towards me has reached 35 points. It's a big step closer to 50 points!
Letting Ceci Hailow stand guard at the side, Chen Mo swam to the second treasure chest and reached out to open it.
System Notification: You have obtained the skill book "Trap Control"!
Trap Control?
Chen Mo was shocked and quickly looked at the skill description.
Trap Control: After learning it, your understanding of traps will greatly increase. When setting up a trap, you can spend more time to make the trap stronger and more reliable, thus making the trigger of the trap controllable!
F * ck, this skill seems to be able to turn the trap into a time trap!
Chen Mo couldn't believe his eyes. If the trap could be triggered at a time, then that's too amazing!
Whether it was true or not, Chen Mo didn't dare to confirm. But from the skill description, even if it wasn't, it wasn't far off.
Trap Control could only be learned at Level 20, so Chen Mo couldn't immediately know the specific attributes of the skill.
He couldn't wait to reach Level 20. After Level 20, he would be able to learn Trap Control and the Advanced Trap Whirlpool Trap. Apart from that, he would also have a Level 20 Skill Book, Stone Skin, and a Level 20 Purple Grade Arbalest!
Once he reached level 20, there would be an obvious increase in his strength!
After leaving the sunken ship, he would immediately go all out to level up!
After making up his mind, Chen Mo swam to the third treasure chest.
System Notification: You have obtained the Innate Skill Book "Sea Spear Mastery"!
Innate Skill Book?
This time, Chen Mo really suspected that his eyes were playing tricks on him!
He had never heard of anyone saying that innate skills had skill books!
But he rubbed his eyes and confirmed that he wasn't mistaken. It was indeed the Innate Skill Book "Sea Spear Mastery"!
Chen Mo had heard of Sea Spear Mastery before. It was an Innate Skill that only Hunters who had joined the Seafolk could learn. Hunters who had learned this Innate Skill of the Seafolk were known as "Sea Hunters"!
Sea Spear Mastery was equivalent to Crossbow Mastery among Seafolk Hunters. However, compared to Crossbow Mastery, Sea Spear Mastery was more desirable.
Crossbow Mastery had a fast attack speed and could be used as a poison attack.
Sea Spear Mastery and Crossbow Mastery were similar. Seafolk Hunters who were proficient in Sea Spear Mastery threw their sea spears to attack monsters. The attack speed was very slow, but the damage was very high. It could be compared to Warriors who had high damage. If they mastered the corresponding throwing skill, the sea spears they threw out would deal more damage than Warriors!
Of course, the biggest weakness was the attack speed. Although the sea spears that were thrown out would automatically be returned to the hands of the Seafolk Hunter, the recovery speed was not fast. Before the sea spear was retrieved, the Seafolk Hunter could not throw another sea spear weapon to attack the enemy. Basically, Sea Spear Mastery Hunters could only attack once after three or four attacks from Crossbow Masters.
But even so, Sea Spear Mastery was still something that many Hunters yearned for. After all, under the super slow attack speed, the high damage was not to be trifled with. It was definitely worth every penny.
There wasn't a single player in the game who didn't want to have an enviable high damage. Although the cumulative damage of the Venomous Crossbow Style Hunters was higher and more stable than the Sea Spear Style Hunters, more than 70% of the surveyed Hunters wished that they could learn Sea Spear Mastery instead of Crossbow Mastery.
Of course, Chen Mo also wanted to learn Sea Spear Mastery. However, this talent skill could only be learned by players who had joined the Seafolk. Many Hunters wanted to join the Seafolk, but unfortunately, they did not have the connections. Chen Mo was a little different. Because of the big commission, he had to be in the human territory. Even if he had the chance to join the Seafolk, he would most likely give up. He had never thought that he would be able to learn Sea Spear Mastery.
But now, he had actually obtained a Seafolk talent skill book, [Sea Spear Mastery], from the bottom of a broken ship that many Hunters wanted!
He still could not believe it, but the skill book was in his backpack, so he had to believe it.
Chen Mo began to feel that things were a little strange. Now that he thought about it carefully, this sunken ship was not as simple as it seemed.
An unkillable female Seafolk NPC who only teased a group of players had appeared here, then said some strange words and killed all the players on the ship in one hit.
If it were not for his special situation, he would not have been able to obtain this treasure chest even if he did not die like the other players.
However, thinking about it carefully, it made sense that there were good items in this treasure chest. After all, the items here were originally things that no one could obtain. It was only because he had Ceci Hailow, this crazy pet, that he could obtain them.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo no longer hesitated. He looked at the Sea Spear Mastery talent skill and wanted to see what this talent skill that countless Hunters yearned for was all about.
[Sea Spear Mastery]: Talent Skill Book, can be learned by Hunters.
[Sea Spear Mastery]: Activates off-hand weapon to equip Sea Spear type weapons. Sea Spear type weapons will be automatically retrieved after being thrown. Sea Spear type skills will have their attack increased by 10% and skill cooldown reduced by 10%.
Players who master this talent skill will have their attack and defense reduced by 30% when facing Seafolk NPCs or during quests targeted at the Seafolk.
"Sure enough, there are all kinds of flaws in this talent."
Looking at the description of Sea Spear Mastery, Chen Mo was not surprised.
Sea Spear Mastery was a talent of the Seafolk. When facing Seafolk NPCs or in various faction quests, the player's attack and defense would be greatly reduced. However, it would not be affected much even if the player was killing Seafolk monsters.
It was not only the Seafolk's talent that was like this. According to Chen Mo's knowledge, all Seafolk's talents had the same effect.
While obtaining a Seafolk's talent, the player's threat to that race would be greatly reduced.
Although there were negative effects, Chen Mo would still learn Sea Spear Mastery.
For Hunters who did not have enough damage in an instant, if they could master a talent that could increase their damage output in an instant, it would definitely be worth it.
However, Chen Mo thought about it and decided not to learn Sea Spear Mastery for the time being.
This was the Sunken Ship. He did not know if the female Seafolk NPC was still there. If she was, he would be at a great disadvantage if he learned Sea Spear Mastery. No matter what, he had to get out of the Sunken Ship first.
There were still two treasure chests left. Chen Mo swam over in anticipation.
The first three treasure chests were very rewarding. The remaining two treasure chests might also contain good items!
