With the three skill scrolls in his bag, Chen Mo could not wait to learn the Crimson Cage skill.
After learning the Crimson Cage skill, Chen Mo discovered that the skill also required materials. Each use required 10 bottles of monster blood!
Crimson Cage (Beginner Level): Use monster blood to set up a trap with special power.
Once the trap is triggered, all enemies within a 30-meter radius will be sucked into a crimson fog.
A Blood Shadow Doppelganger will appear in the crimson fog.
The Blood Shadow Doppelganger has most of the player's skills and its own special skills. The more enemies there are in the crimson fog, the stronger the doppelganger's stats will be. Enemies must defeat the doppelganger or survive for three minutes in the crimson fog before they can leave.
Note that if the player is also in the crimson fog when the trap is triggered, they can only kill all the enemies in the crimson fog or wait for three minutes. Otherwise, they will not be able to leave the crimson fog.
At the same time, the crimson fog has the ability to weaken external attacks. When external attacks enter the crimson fog, the damage will be greatly reduced.
Using this skill requires 10 bottles of monster blood. The level of the monster blood determines the level of the enemies trapped in the crimson fog. The trapped player's level must be less than 5 levels higher than the average level of the monster blood for the trap to be fully effective. Otherwise, the effect of the trap will be greatly reduced.
Cooldown time: 10 minutes.
High-level monster blood was very expensive. 10 bottles would cost 3 gold. Chen Mo had to spend 3,000 Chinese dollars per use. He could not afford to be more wasteful. He had never eaten a meal that cost 3,000 Chinese dollars in real life.
However, the in-game currency was like a credit card. You could not see real money, so there was not much feeling when using it. If you asked Chen Mo to spend 3,000 Chinese dollars on the ground to deal with monsters, he would definitely not do it.
This skill was purely a waste of money. Chen Mo could not use it as he wished. However, after trying it twice, he discovered that the Crimson Cage was much easier to set up than the Whirlpool Trap.
The Crimson Cage skill didn't require a fixed size like the Whirlpool Trap. The size of the trap could be changed. It only needed 3 seconds to set it up. However, the radius of the trap was only half a meter wide. It was very easy for the enemy to step on it, so he set it up for nothing.
The largest trap could be set up with a radius of three meters. However, the setting up time was much longer, requiring more than ten seconds. Even if Chen Mo was familiar with it, it would still take him at least ten seconds.
Chen Mo had a monster trigger the trap. However, the monster was too weak, and he couldn't tell how powerful the trap was. After triggering the trap, the area within a 30-meter radius would be enveloped by a blood-red mist, and a blood-red figure would appear within it.
The crimson figure held a dagger in its hand. It looked a bit like a Thief, and its damage was very high. The Level 30 monsters that Chen Mo used as experimental subjects were dealt over 2,000 damage with a single normal attack from the crimson figure, which was the Blood Shadow Doppelganger.
The monster didn't cause any trouble for the Blood Shadow Doppelganger before it was killed.
During the second experiment, Chen Mo attracted a large group of monsters.
There were over 20 monsters in total. Although the Blood Shadow Doppelganger could use some of Chen Mo's skills, Chen Mo didn't know if the Blood Shadow Doppelganger disliked them. In any case, he didn't see the Blood Shadow Doppelganger use his skills to attack the monsters.
However, there were so many monsters in the Crimson Fog. The Blood Shadow Doppelganger's attack power, attack speed, and movement speed were all increased.
The increase in attack power wasn't much, but the increase in movement speed and attack speed was extremely obvious.
Then there was the Blood Shadow Doppelganger's ability to dodge. So many monsters' attacks landed on the Blood Shadow Doppelganger, but the word "Miss" kept appearing above its head.
After two experiments, Chen Mo discovered that the Blood Shadow Doppelganger seemed to use skills according to its opponent.
It wouldn't instantly kill the enemy. Instead, it would slowly fight the enemy and kill them at the very end.
Of course, Chen Mo could also give it orders. However, during the two experiments, Chen Mo wanted to see how the Blood Shadow Doppelganger would fight without orders, so he didn't do that.
After all, the biggest use of the Crimson Cage skill was to trap the enemy. If the Blood Shadow Doppelganger was too stupid, it would be easily killed without his orders. Then, it wouldn't be able to trap the enemy.
Now, it seemed that the Blood Shadow Doppelganger's intelligence was quite good. Using it to trap the enemy would be quite effective.
Thinking about it, if he wanted to kill the enemy, he would have to fight with the Blood Shadow Doppelganger in the Crimson Fog. Then, he could directly give orders to the Blood Shadow Doppelganger.
After learning the Crimson Cage skill, Chen Mo finally had a second trap that he could use, other than the Whirlpool Trap.
Before this, he could only rely on the Whirlpool Trap to keep the situation under control.
A few hours later.
Chen Mo returned to the Quicksand Rift.
This time, Chen Mo had to wait at the entrance of Naien's Mausoleum.
Naien's seven tokens had all been taken. The entrance of the mausoleum would definitely be opened in the next few days. If he wasn't there, he would be at a disadvantage.
"It's open!
The entrance at the bottom of the mausoleum is open! "
"What?
Are you serious? "
"Let's go!
Let's try our luck in the mausoleum. There are so many people now, and there are very few monsters. If we're lucky, we might be able to find the treasure inside! "
However, when Chen Mo returned to the entrance of the Chrysalis Path Mausoleum, he immediately heard a large number of players entering the mausoleum.
Chen Mo was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Naien's Mausoleum to be opened in the few hours that he was gone.
However, according to the players around him, it was only an hour ago. Unless Naien's Mausoleum wasn't that difficult, he still had time.
Chen Mo didn't say anything and followed them into the Chrysalis Path Mausoleum.
There were people everywhere in the Chrysalis Path Mausoleum. There were no signs of monsters at all. Even the giant sandworms that the players were afraid of had disappeared without a trace.
At first, Chen Mo used the Golden Sand Corpse Worm to point the way a few times, and the number of players gradually decreased.
However, after Chen Mo eavesdropped on some of the players' conversations, he followed behind them.
According to them, this path led directly to the entrance of Naien's Mausoleum.
In fact, it wasn't really a direct path. However, someone had made marks along the way. Following the marks, Chen Mo and the players really arrived at the entrance of Naien's Mausoleum.
The Chrysalis Path suddenly became very wide. Chen Mo came to an ancient hall that was more than ten meters tall. At the end of the hall was an ancient door that was more than ten meters tall. However, the door was now open, and a large mass of blue teleportation light appeared.
The players rushed in one by one. Chen Mo didn't have time to admire the scenery outside. He also plunged into the mass of blue light.
The scenery changed, and Chen Mo found himself in a dark red hall.
However, he wasn't alone. There were other players around him.
The hall was very large. At a glance, it felt like there was no end to it.
There were piles of skeletons in the hall. When the players walked past these skeletons, the skeletons would reform into dark red skeletons and attack the players.
However, there were no longer any monsters in Chen Mo's surroundings. The players who had arrived first were charging forward with all their might, trying to pass through the hall.
"F * ck!
These monsters don't drop anything. It's so boring to fight them! "
"It seems that if we want to get treasures, we have to go deeper. If we don't go deeper, I'm afraid we won't get anything!"
Chen Mo walked forward. Soon, he reached the front and heard a few people talking.
The skeletons in Naien's Mausoleum were not ordinary monsters. The players who arrived here before them had killed countless skeletons, but from what they said, none of them had obtained any loot.
However, they had to fight. The door was still far away.
Chen Mo wanted to join the army of monsters. However, at this time, he saw a familiar face.
Little Warrior.
Little Warrior was here too?
Chen Mo could not help but be a little surprised.
Little Warrior was a Shield Warrior. Leveling up shouldn't be fast. How could she reach Level 30 and come here so quickly?
Chen Mo used Detect on Little Warrior and found that she was only Level 29.
However, Little Warrior was holding a blood-red greatsword. Her body was suffused with a red light.
Looking at Little Warrior's fighting style, Chen Mo suddenly realized that Little Warrior was not a Shield Warrior, but a Berserker!
Chen Mo remembered the blood-red greatsword in Little Warrior's hand. It was the Level 30 Dark Gold weapon, Bloodthirsty Demon Sword!
Little Warrior was actually holding it at Level 29.
"Hey, big brother!"
Little Warrior excitedly slashed at the skeletons. After killing a skeleton, she wiped her sweat. When she saw Chen Mo, she immediately called out happily.
Chen Mo smiled and teamed up with Little Warrior to kill monsters together.
"What's up with your weapon? You're not Level 30 yet, right?"
After killing a few monsters, Chen Mo curiously asked Little Warrior.
"I know a blacksmith. He helped me with it. This weapon can be equipped at Level 25."
Little Warrior said proudly.
Damn, it's good to know more NPCs!
Chen Mo could not help but be envious. No wonder Little Warrior leveled up so quickly. She was already using a Level 30 Dark Gold weapon at Level 25. It was difficult to level up slowly.
With the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword's crazy attributes, killing monsters above her level was like drinking water.
Moreover, after fighting monsters with Little Warrior for a while, Chen Mo found that Little Warrior's control was really good.
Maybe because she was too focused, Little Warrior's reaction was very agile. The characteristics of the Berserker Style allowed her to play to the fullest. She killed one monster and immediately looked for the next one. It seemed that the more she fought, the braver she became.
Chen Mo also saw that when she passed the Nightmare Talent Trial, Little Warrior did not choose the Battle Spirit Talent. Instead, she chose the Combo Talent, which was very suitable for Berserker Style Warriors.
Under the effect of the Combo Talent, the more monsters Little Warrior killed, the stronger her attributes became.
…
The third one was even better.
