However, regardless of whether or not they could catch a Legendary Mount, just the Fruit of Life alone was enough for Chen Mo to enter.
Even if they couldn't get a Legendary Mount, if they could get a few more Fruits of Life, this trip would be worth it.
Chen Mo believed that Fruits of Life could evolve pets and mounts, and that wasn't the only effect. Players could also use them to increase their maximum HP.
If they could bring back more Fruits of Life, it would be another large sum of Gold Coins.
Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The Gatekeeper didn't say anything else, only slowly opening the tall wooden door behind him.
The 18 teams entered one by one.
Inside was an unknown land. Most importantly, the Tree of Life was extremely far away. If they were too anxious, the slightest carelessness could lead to danger.
"What a huge forest!"
Everyone entered one by one. Inside the walls was a tall, verdant forest.
Every tree was over a hundred meters tall and had a radius of one to two meters. However, most of these trees were half-withered. They either had sparse leaves on them or were completely bare with not many leaves left.
The Tree of Life was clearly in the distance, yet the trees here weren't thriving. This made everyone feel a little strange.
"Everyone, I'm sure everyone heard the Gatekeeper's words. In the core area, aside from Legendary Mounts, there are also monsters that can't become Mounts.
Putting aside whether or not we can catch a Legendary Mount, our current goal is to reach the Tree of Life as quickly as possible.
To be able to reach this place, everyone's strength goes without saying. If we had enough time, we wouldn't need to move together.
However, time is limited. We only have three hours, and the journey to the Tree of Life will take one hour. If we encounter more powerful monsters on the way, we won't have much time left to reach the Tree of Life.
So, I suggest everyone move together. Once we reach the Tree of Life, it won't be too late to compete. "
Although the trees in the forest were large, there was a large gap between them. At the entrance, they could faintly see the shadows of groups of monsters ahead.
The Glorious God of War glanced at the experts from all over the world, then stepped forward and declared in a clear voice.
"This gentleman's idea is good. I have the same idea."
"Indeed. If you don't agree, you can choose another path. If you choose the same path, you can work together."
The Glorious War God's words gained the approval of many people.
Three hours was indeed too limited. If they did not hurry up, they were afraid that they would only be able to reach the Tree of Life before they were forced to leave the Magical Beast Paradise.
In the end, the eighteen teams all agreed with the Illustrious Battle God's suggestion. There was no benefit to anyone in having a disagreement right now.
"Very good, everyone agrees.
Since we're working together, we have to follow some rules. I won't go into too much detail. Just mention the basics.
However, if you want to move quickly and kill monsters, you will need a powerful Shield Knight. I would like to invite this Shield Knight to be the main MT. Out of all the Shield Knights I know, there is no one stronger than him! "
After receiving everyone's approval, the Glorious Wargod pointed at the Blood Paladin and said.
This guy!
The Blood Paladin sneered inwardly. However, he faced the crowd and said indifferently, "If you trust me, I can give it a try. If there are other candidates, I don't care.
However, since I'm the main tank, all of you must share the cost of the potions. "
"Of course."
Of the eighteen teams, there were only three Shield Knights. No one came out to fight with the Blood Paladin for the main MT position. No one objected to the Blood Paladin's conditions. It was just some potions. No one cared about it.
Time was tight. The efficiency of the eighteen teams was also very high.
After only five minutes, everyone came up with a general battle plan.
Everyone came from different regions of the world. They were not from the same guild, so there was the possibility of accidental injuries. The main point of the plan was to reduce accidental injuries.
This was originally a very troublesome problem. After all, if they used AOE skills, it would be very difficult to avoid hurting others. However, if they did not use AOE skills, the efficiency of killing monsters would be greatly reduced.
However, this problem was perfectly solved when a European beauty called "Poseena" took out a scroll that could allow them to form a temporary adventurer team.
Using this special scroll would allow all eighteen teams to join a temporary adventurer team. Everyone's attacks would no longer harm each other in the adventurer team mode.
The group advanced with the Blood Paladin at the front.
There were a total of 103 people in the eighteen teams. The hundreds of people at the back quickly realized how powerful the Blood Paladin was.
The monsters in the core area were all elite-level. If it were a normal Shield Knight, pulling three to four elite-level monsters at once would be too much for them to handle.
However, the Blood Paladin could pull more than ten elite-level monsters at once. More than ten elite-level monsters posed no threat to the Blood Paladin.
"Terrifying!
His HP is at least 100,000! "
Not long after the battle began, everyone became cautious of the Blood Paladin's strength.
He could face more than ten elite-level monsters without batting an eyelid. His HP was above 100,000. No matter who it was, they would not want to be enemies with a player with such insane stats.
Not only that, the group of experts quickly realized that the Blood Paladin's ferocious black armor had the ability to reflect damage. When he received damage, he could also reflect the damage back to the monsters.
"Hmph!
This guy is indeed powerful!
He only showed some basic abilities, and he's already so terrifying! "
Glorious Wargod could not help but snort.
No matter who it was, they would not be at ease with such a powerful enemy.
Not to mention, Glorious Wargod knew that the Blood Paladin's true strength was much more powerful.
However, as long as an extremely powerful boss did not appear, the Blood Paladin would not be able to show his true strength.
The Blood Paladin's performance was very eye-catching. However, there were also many experts among the players present. Everyone's damage output was extremely high.
All sorts of large-scale skills were cast as if they were free. A group of more than ten elite-level black wolves could not last more than ten seconds under the attacks of over a hundred people. They fell to the ground and died.
Everyone was like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, sweeping across the area.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone had moved quite a distance in the core area.
They were still halfway to the Tree of Life. However, compared to the beginning, everyone was much more careful.
The monsters in the core area were not a threat to them. However, in this half an hour, they had seen three legendary mounts!
Dark Phoenix, Frost Dragon, and Golden Elephant!
These three legendary mounts were all colossal monsters with extraordinary strength. They did not have any Fruits of Life, so naturally, no one dared to provoke them.
As for the elite-level monsters, they had encountered quite a few of them. These elite-level monsters were not weak. If a party were to deal with them alone, they would have to spend a lot more time. However, with over a hundred people working together, there were no monsters that could be their match.
After killing so many monsters, everyone had initially wondered if there would be any Fruits of Life. However, in the end, it seemed that the guard's words were not too reliable. There were so many elite-level monsters, but nothing dropped.
"Almost there!"
"There's still some distance!"
The Tree of Life was getting closer and closer. Everyone looked at the nearby Tree of Life with excitement.
The Tree of Life was extremely large. At this distance, everyone could already see that there were many fist-sized fruits growing on the Tree of Life.
Twenty minutes later, everyone had been in the core area for a little over an hour. They had successfully arrived near the Tree of Life.
They had already walked out of the tall, sparse forest and were now in a basin with a radius of over two hundred meters. At the very center of the basin was the tall Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life was only a hundred meters away from everyone. At such a close distance, everyone felt a special feeling.
Just by standing here, they felt as if they were immersed in a warm ocean. It was very comfortable.
Then, everyone's eyes fell on the foot of the Tree of Life.
There were about thirty emerald fruits lying there. These emerald fruits were green with a hint of red. They were ripe Fruits of Life, and they automatically fell from the tree to the ground.
It was said that there were even more Fruits of Life at the top of the Tree of Life. However, it was impossible to go up to such a high place to harvest them. Even if it was possible, the guard reminded everyone that it was best not to try. After all, even Legendary mounts did not dare to directly fly up to harvest them.
According to the guard, the Tree of Life was an extremely powerful living plant. Even Legendary mounts would be easily injured by it.
Therefore, people who came here could only pick up the Fruits of Life that fell from the Tree of Life.
Legendary mounts could also pick up these fruits. However, on the ground around the basin, there was a special existence that even Legendary mounts did not dare to rashly approach.
It was a type of black vine plant. It grew around the basin and spread everywhere. In many places, it even intertwined into a black beehive.
"The Fruits of Life are in front of you. There are eighteen of them, but there are only about thirty of them. There are not enough fruits to go around. Let's end the cooperation here. If you want to get the Fruits of Life, then rely on your own abilities."
There was still a distance of a hundred meters, but at this time, the Blood Paladin spoke.
Facing the Blood Paladin's words, no one had any objections. Many people silently left the temporary adventurer team. Posena even directly disbanded the entire temporary adventurer team.
"Void Phantom Slash!"
Next, it was time to see everyone's abilities. Many people were vigilant, but no one expected that just as the Blood Paladin finished speaking, the Glorious War God's black greatsword fiercely drew a huge black sword light and violently slashed out!
… …
The third time.
