There were many things that Chen Mo did not understand, but after learning about these things, he was filled with a thirst for knowledge.
Previously, he had been playing the game aimlessly. When the Worm Company had a mission, he would do it. When there was no mission, he would run around the game. As long as his level did not fall too far behind, he did not care.
Now, Chen Mo had changed. For the first time, he wanted to become stronger!
He knew very well that if he did not become stronger in the game, he would be like those ordinary players and would not be able to access the true secrets of the game.
Only by becoming abnormally strong in the game, where no one could ignore him, would he have the qualifications to do so.
After all, in the real world, he was just an ordinary college student. He did not have the backing of those large financial groups.
Chen Mo was sure that those organizations that were crazily collecting gold coins and high-grade materials were the large financial groups that knew some of the secrets of the game.
Nothing was more attractive than the reward from an unknown world for those large financial groups that had already stood at the peak of the Earth. There was no need to hesitate when investing in the game. As long as there was a little reward, their investment would be reaped with huge returns.
Moreover, other financial groups were investing heavily. If they did not keep up, they might be eliminated in one fell swoop.
Chen Mo's consciousness had undergone a great change in a short period of time. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the front of the Wind Tunnel.
Regardless of whether Nine Ears was telling the truth or not, there must be some benefits in the front of the Wind Tunnel. Nine Ears and the others wanted to monopolize it and did not want others to get a share.
Nine Ears and his Archer companion's strength did not need to be mentioned. Even in the entire Huaxia region, they were considered top-notch experts. Whatever they wanted would not be too bad.
Since that was the case, he could not just give up and leave.
However, the other side had an additional Trap Hunter. He could not let Ceci Hailow step on the traps.
There were all kinds of trap skills in the game. Only God knew what kind of strange trap skills would appear. If something happened to Ceci Hailow and she could not participate in the battle, his side would lose a huge combat power.
"They seem to have reinforcements. It will be difficult for us to break through. Why don't we wait? The team that I followed before has already gone back to get more people. In half a day, they will arrive here."
The Golden Phoenix was also extremely curious about the world on the other side of the wind tunnel. She could see that Chen Mo had the same thoughts, but after seeing the enemy's methods, she felt that it was safer to wait for a while.
"Let's see if we can break through first. There shouldn't be too many of them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have set up traps to stop and persuade us to leave. Instead, they would have directly attacked us." Chen Mo shook his head.
"Indeed, but those traps are very troublesome.
Little Demon has a Flame Giant, but its cooldown time is very long, and its duration is also very short. It won't be able to step on many traps. "The Golden Phoenix thought about it and agreed. She then began to think about how to break through the enemy's blockade.
"Traps won't be a problem. Let's head back first. I'll grab two pets to scout the way."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he turned around and led the Golden Phoenix and the little demon back.
He had three pet bars, and Ceci Hailow was the only pet.
The surrounding Treants had already reached Level 34 to 36. However, Chen Mo had already reached Level 35. Capturing two Treant Pets would not be a problem for him.
"They retreated?"
In the depths of the Wind Tunnel, Nine Ears and the others were slightly surprised as they watched Chen Mo's gradually disappearing figure.
Although they had only met twice, Nine Ears did not believe that Chen Mo was a person who would be so easy to talk to.
"No, they've returned." Beside Nine Ears, a calm-looking youth spoke up not long after.
He was the Archer. Inside the dark Wind Tunnel, his vision was much further than Nine Ears'.
With Chen Mo's Mutated Capture skill, capturing two monsters as pets was a very simple matter. After finding three Treants, Chen Mo had successfully captured two of them.
The Golden Phoenix and Little Demon could not help but be slightly dumbfounded when they saw Chen Mo and Ceci Hailow's damage output.
Previously, when Chen Mo and Nine Ears had fought, they had only come into contact with each other for a brief moment. The two of them had not been able to react in time. Now that they were fighting Treants, the Golden Phoenix finally realized how frightening Chen Mo's attacks were.
Not only that, but when they saw that Chen Mo did not need to set up traps and could trigger them directly by coming into contact with the monsters, the two of them could no longer hold themselves back.
Chen Mo did not hide his Skill Solidification Skill from the two of them.
This Skill was not a combat Skill, so it did not matter if others knew about it. In fact, if he wanted to upgrade his Skill Solidification Skill, he had to take the initiative to let more people know about his Skill. Otherwise, if he wanted to rely on himself to find Inherent Crystals to upgrade it, who knew when that would happen?
Of course, this Skill could not be made known to everyone. Chen Mo did not forget to remind the two of them not to reveal it to others. He also told Little Demon, who was looking at him excitedly, that as long as she could find Inherent Crystals, he would help her solidify the Skill for free.
With this layer of protection, the two of them naturally would not reveal it to others. After all, they and Chen Mo were only friends in the game. Chen Mo had told them about this Secret Skill and told them to keep it a secret. If they could not do it, they could not blame Chen Mo for not helping them solidify the Skill.
After returning with the two Treant pets, Chen Mo had the Treants open up a path in front of him.
The trap that Nine Ears and the others had set up had long since disappeared. However, it was not difficult to set up a new trap. No matter how complicated the trap was, it would only take a dozen seconds.
"What should we do? We don't know how many pets he has brought back. If he barges his way here, it will be difficult for us to stop him. At most, we can slow down his advance." Nine Ears frowned as he looked at Chen Mo, who was rushing towards them. He felt troubled.
Previously, Golden Phoenix and Wen Cheng had formed a team of eighteen people. However, Nine Ears and the others had killed six of them, forcing Wen Cheng to leave.
If it was just Golden Phoenix and Little Demon, Nine Ears would not feel any pressure at all. However, with Chen Mo, things had become extremely troublesome.
Previously, they had seen Chen Mo teleport twice in a row. It was impossible to kill such a person with a sneak attack.
If Chen Mo was alone, it would be fine. However, Golden Phoenix and Little Demon, who were not a threat to them, made it difficult for them to even launch a sneak attack.
Unless they could launch a sneak attack on all three of them at once and immobilize all three of them at the same time, a sneak attack would be meaningless.
Especially Chen Mo. Nine Ears was certain that if he could not kill Chen Mo in a sneak attack, he would definitely die in Chen Mo's hands.
"It's too late to wait for reinforcements. We don't have to fight him here.
They are not familiar with the wind tunnel ahead. We can wait there for an opportunity. If there are no accidents, we can definitely kill them. "
Beside Nine Ears and the Archer, a short Hunter suddenly said in a low voice.
"That's right!
Let's retreat. If they dare to chase after us, we will definitely kill them!
If they die and start over again, our reinforcements will come as well. It will be extremely difficult for them to come over! "
Nine Ears heard this and his eyes lit up. He could not help but applaud.
He was very familiar with the wind tunnel ahead. For a moment, he had forgotten that they had the geographical advantage.
"Go, retreat!
Geya, set up traps as you retreat. Don't let him notice anything amiss. "Nine Ears instructed Hunter Geya.
Geya nodded and began to set up traps.
"They seem to be retreating. Let's chase after them."
On the other side, Chen Mo saw Nine Ears and the others retreating. He also chased after them.
Of course, he did not dare to charge forward recklessly. The other party was an expert. He did not know what kind of powerful moves were waiting for him.
Under Chen Mo's command, the Treants scouted ahead without complaint. Not long after, a boom was heard and a trap was triggered.
Chen Mo and the others did not move quickly. He could not rule out the possibility that the other party also had a trap control skill. With a trap control skill, it would be too easy to trick them in the current situation.
After walking for about ten minutes, Golden Phoenix frowned and said, "Something doesn't feel right. The other party seems to be luring us."
"Yes, I want to see what they are planning. You guys be careful. Don't get killed by a sneak attack."
Chen Mo had this feeling long ago. However, no matter what the other party was planning, he had to move forward and reach the other side of the wind tunnel.
"There seems to be a large hall ahead?"
The first Treant was already dead. When the second Treant did not have much health left, Chen Mo stopped in his tracks.
The view ahead suddenly widened. After walking for another ten meters or so, they would arrive at a spacious hall within the wind tunnel.
The figures of Nine Ears and the others had already disappeared. Looking at the large hall ahead, Chen Mo felt a little uneasy.
After thinking for a while, Chen Mo recalled his Treant pet and summoned Ceci Hailow.
Ceci Hailow walked forward under Chen Mo's command. Chen Mo, Golden Phoenix, and the others waited behind.
The distance of ten meters was covered in a flash. Through Ceci Hailow's vision, Chen Mo discovered that the spacious area ahead was not a large hall. Instead, it was a huge ring-shaped abyss.
In the middle of the hall, there was a ring-shaped, pitch-black hole. Around the circular hall, there were many passageways. Nine Ears and the others had left through an unknown passageway.
The pitch-black hole was bottomless. If one fell into it, death would be the only outcome. However, the circular ground around it was more than two meters wide. As long as one was careful, they would not fall into the abyss.
Ceci Hailow stayed inside for a while. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, Chen Mo, Golden Phoenix, and the others walked over.
"It should be the passageway on the other side."
There were many passageways around the circular hall. However, only the passageway on the other side was clearly quite a distance away from the surrounding passageways. The surrounding passageways should correspond to the wind tunnel entrances in Storm City.
The three of them wanted to walk towards the passageway. However, at this moment, Nine Ears suddenly appeared at the entrance of the passageway, right in front of the abyss.
He expressionlessly threw a stone-like object into the giant abyss.
Boom!
Like a flash flood, an incomparably strong gust of wind burst out from the abyss below!
...
The first one was even worse.
