When Chen Mo heard the sound, his body flashed as he entered the floor.
This floor was like a parking lot. It was spacious and empty. In the middle of the floor was an ancient stone tablet that was three to four meters tall.
The stone tablet was also covered with clear runes. However, there were some magic runes that didn't fit in with the surrounding buildings.
Among Wind Scar's group, one of them accidentally glanced at the floor and curiously walked in. Then, he discovered the existence of the Ruins Stone Tablet.
He notified Wind Scar. Wind Scar originally wanted to wait for a while before returning. However, when he saw the people from Crimson Blood Guild, who also seemed to want to enter, he gritted his teeth and rushed in first.
There were no other monsters in the hall. If he rushed in first, it was very likely that he would reach the Ruins Stone Tablet first and obtain the high-level rare skill on the tablet, as well as the Ruins Fragment.
Although he didn't know what the Ruins Fragment was used for, it should be very useful.
Boom!
"Stop him!"
When the experts from Crimson Blood Guild and Maple Leaf Guild entered the floor and received the system notification, many of them shouted in a deep voice.
More than an hour ago, everyone had said that they would work together. However, after seeing the Ruins Stone Tablet that could give them a rare skill, all of their words became meaningless.
However, Wind Scar was a wind-type Warrior. His Movement Speed was extremely fast. He ran a few seconds ahead of the others.
A few seconds wasn't much, but in the game, it was a gap of at least thirty meters.
When Chen Mo and the others entered the floor, Wind Scar had already run to the middle of the floor. In a few more seconds, he would be able to reach the Ruins Stone Tablet first.
Teleportation?
Chen Mo couldn't help but think.
With three Bloodshadow Teleportations and three Gold Coin Flashes, he could move forty-five meters in an instant, easily surpassing Wind Scar.
But the problem was, was it really possible to run over to the Skill Stone Stele and obtain the skills on it?
No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem possible.
Teleportation could be used at any time. If there were really no obstacles, it wouldn't be too late for him to teleport after Wind Scar had finished running in front and cleared the path for him.
Boom!
However, reality proved that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Wind Scar ran in front. When he was one-third of the distance to the Ruins Stone Tablet, the floor suddenly collapsed.
If it wasn't for Feng Hen's quick reaction, he would have fallen to the next level.
Feng Hen did not fall in, but his expression became extremely ugly.
The road was cut off, and his speed came to a halt. The people behind him had already caught up to him.
But this was not the most important thing. What made him furious was that the floor did not collapse for no reason. At the place where the floor collapsed, a special ape climbed up from the floor below.
It was still a black ape, but this black ape's hands were a pair of mechanical arms. One of its eyes was also made of machinery.
The robotic ape's mechanical eyes glowed with a cold red light as it stared at the crowd with a murderous look.
Although its size was not much larger than an ordinary black ape, its special appearance caused everyone present to hurriedly halt their footsteps.
Not only did Feng Hen stop advancing, he even took a few steps back.
Of course, everyone knew why he was retreating. It was because after the appearance of the Mechanical Arm Ape, a faint layer of magic barrier appeared around the monument.
This magic barrier was connected to the Mechanical Arm Ape by a ray of light. If they did not kill the Mechanical Arm Ape, they would not be able to get close to the Ruins Stone Tablet.
Although Feng Hen was still a distance ahead of everyone, it was impossible for him to kill the Mechanical Arm Ape and come into contact with the Ruins Stone Tablet in such a short time.
"Let's go."
Looking at the Mechanical Arm Ape, then looking at the two large guilds, Feng Hen actually called out to his subordinates and turned to leave.
"Brother Feng Hen, are you thinking of leaving just like that?" Crimson Blood Sky looked at Feng Hen and led a few people to block his path.
"I don't have as many people as you do. I can't win against you. This Ruins Stone Tablet is yours," Feng Hen said calmly.
"Of course, you don't have the strength to take this Ruins Stone Tablet. However, this monster is not easy to deal with. I'm worried that accidents might happen while we are dealing with it. So, Brother Feng Hen, it's better for you to stay and deal with the monster together," Crimson Blood Sky said as he shook his head slightly.
"What do you mean by that?
Are you saying that I want to sneak back and ambush you while you are killing the monster? "Feng Hen asked coldly.
"One must always be wary of others. There are still monsters on the stairs. You won't be able to leave anytime soon. If you sneak back, we won't be able to guard against you.
I don't want to do this either, but I hope that Brother Feng Hen can forgive my despicable actions, "Crimson Blood Sky said bluntly.
"Hehe, do you really think that this Ruins Stone Tablet is yours?
Have you asked that brother over there? "Feng Hen could not help but laugh coldly when he heard Crimson Blood Sky's words.
"The treasures in the game belong to the capable. If this brother thinks that he can defeat us, there is nothing wrong with snatching the treasure away," Crimson Blood Sky said slowly as he looked at Chen Mo.
He was forcing Chen Mo to state his position. Chen Mo would either say that he didn't want the treasure, or if he had the intention to snatch the treasure, the two guilds would not hesitate to eliminate Chen Mo first.
Chen Mo was not a fool. Of course, he knew the meaning of Crimson Blood Sky Wasteland.
"If I were to say that I don't want this stone tablet, would you believe me?" Chen Mo smiled.
In the game, there was no reason to believe a stranger's promise, especially under the premise of great temptation.
"I don't."
Crimson Blood Sky said indifferently. Then, under his signal, the members of the two large guilds gradually formed a semicircle around Chen Mo.
Looking at the people from the two large guilds, Chen Mo frowned slightly.
It was not the first time that he had faced dozens of people, but the people in front of him were not ordinary players. They were the elite experts of the top two guilds of Moonshine City. Before, he had killed his way down from the top floor, so he already had some idea of the strength of these people.
These people were all very strong and had great teamwork. And this was only in their normal state. When they fought with others, their strength would only be stronger.
Moreover, the people from these two large guilds all had a powerful defensive ability — Joint Defense!
This was a defensive skill that came with the guild emblem after a guild was upgraded to a Level 4 guild. After the effect was activated, the entire team would be able to share the damage received for a period of time.
The effect of this skill was not obvious when facing bosses or large-scale attacks, but when fighting with players, the effect was abnormally strong.
Those who could have been killed, after sharing the damage with their teammates, would naturally be able to survive and maintain the maximum combat power of the team.
Especially now, in the two large guilds, there were quite a few Priests. Unless Chen Mo could kill a team in one fell swoop, the Priests would collectively heal the team he attacked. The team members would also drink potions to recover. Even if Chen Mo used Toxic Burst, it would still be very difficult to kill them.
Of course, if he could drag on until the two large guilds' Joint Defense ended, he would win.
But as long as the two large guilds were not stupid, they could take turns. In a special map like this floor, there were not many people on the other side. It would be very difficult for Chen Mo to go around and kill others.
Whoosh!
Under Crimson Blood Sky's command, more than ten attacks smashed towards Chen Mo.
Everyone was very close to each other. The people from the two large guilds had already completely surrounded Chen Mo. It seemed that he had nowhere to run.
Wind Scar looked at Chen Mo from behind and was slightly moved.
He was, of course, extremely unwilling to give up on the Ruins Stone Tablet. As long as there was a trace of hope, he would try.
He knew best how powerful Chen Mo was. If Chen Mo made any unexpected moves, he would take the opportunity to attack.
Under Wind Scar's gaze, Chen Mo's figure suddenly moved and appeared beside a Priest from Crimson Blood Guild.
Before the Priest could react, Chen Mo had already raised his hand and slashed down with the Executioner Dagger twice in an instant.
Wave Breaker!
Toxic Stab!
Earth Shattering Spike!
Wave Breaker hit the Priest first, inflicting him with the Toxic Corrosion effect. Toxic Stab would then take effect. Following that, Chen Mo used Earth Shattering Spike.
Three skills were used in one go. Even if the Priest was suddenly attacked by Chen Mo and hurriedly activated a joint defense skill, he was still instantly killed by Chen Mo in three moves.
Then, Chen Mo's figure moved again. He swept past the few people and jumped into the collapsed ground.
These floors were all five meters high. After Chen Mo jumped down, he shook the ground and lost a lot of HP. He was slightly stunned and could not move.
Crimson Blood Sky's expression was extremely ugly as he looked at Chen Mo who had jumped down to the next floor.
He originally thought that this person was very important. He did not expect that after surrounding him, not only did he escape, he even killed a Priest.
Crimson Blood Guild only had a total of four Priests. They had just entered the ruins and had not even walked out of the spawn point, yet one of them had died. This undoubtedly made him extremely angry.
Other things were fine, but with one less Priest, his battle plan had to be rearranged. Especially after this, when dealing with the Robotics Ape, Priests were especially important.
Crimson Blood Sky wanted to take the lead and jump down, but Chen Mo had jumped so much earlier than them. If they jumped down now, they would only be ruthlessly attacked. It would not be strange if one or two more people died.
No matter what, Crimson Blood Sky could not accept any more deaths.
However, Chen Mo was just downstairs, only one floor away from them. He could climb up at any time while they were fighting the Robotics Ape.
After discussing with Luo Hong, Crimson Blood Sky Wasteland decided to kill Chen Mo from the bottom of the stairs to the next floor.
They had already offended Chen Mo, and Chen Mo had also killed one of their people. Both sides had already formed a grudge. Such a powerful opponent could not be left alive. The sooner they killed, the better.
They were not in a hurry to deal with the Robotics Ape. Wind Scar only had six people. As long as they left one or two Assassins, they would be able to control Wind Scar's every move.
Crimson Blood Sky and Luo Hong both left their Assassins in a hidden corner of the hall and led their people downstairs.
It was only one floor away. After a few minutes, Crimson Blood Sky, Luo Hong, and the others arrived at the next floor.
The hall of the next floor was similar to the one above. However, Crimson Blood Sky could not find a trace of the other party on this floor.
"He might be in disguise. Use magic to sweep the floor and force him out!" Crimson Blood Sky shouted.
Soon, the spacious hall was swept clean by magic.
The people from the two guilds were all experts. They used magic to sweep the floor, but there was not a single gap left.
After more than ten minutes, they swept the entire floor with magic, but there was still no trace of the other party.
"It seems that he went offline." Luo Hong shook her head.
The historical ruin dungeon lasted for two to three days. Of course, it was possible to go offline here. The other party had long since left combat status and went offline to hide.
"Leave an Assassin here to keep watch. Report to us the moment he comes online. We'll go back and kill the Robotics Ape and take the Ruins Stone Tablet." Crimson Blood Sky said helplessly.
There was no other way. They could not keep watch here forever. Who knew when the Hunter would come online? However, it was not a solution to not keep watch. If the other party did not want to give up on the Ruins Stone Tablet, he might come back online to see if there was an opportunity.
"Let's leave it at that. Let's hurry up and kill the Robotics Ape.
But first, how are we going to distribute the Ruins Stone Tablet? "Luo Hong brought up the topic of distribution.
"It's simple. Let's see who kills the robotic-armed ape later. The relics will belong to that person first.
There is definitely more than one treasure in this Ruins Stone Tablet. If we split up, there won't be many people. Since everyone else came in together, we will have to move together.
The next time we come across a treasure, your Maple Leaf Guild will have the priority. Let's see the value of the Ruins Stone Tablet. If the treasure you find later is not as good, we will compensate you when we return.
It's not our first time working together, so we still have this bit of credibility. You don't have to worry about the distribution. "Crimson Blood Sky had already thought of a distribution plan. When Luo Hong asked, he quickly replied.
"Alright, let's do it this way." Luo Hong could not think of a better distribution plan. Both sides could not fight to the death.
If that happened, not many people from both guilds would survive.
The two guilds returned upstairs. Wind Mark and his subordinates were coldly looking at Crimson Blood Sky and Luo Hong.
"Sorry, Brother Wind Mark. We've kept you waiting.
You don't have to help us deal with this monster. Just go kill some monsters to level up. "Crimson Blood Sky apologized to Wind Mark.
Don't have to help us deal with the monster?
Wind Scar sneered as he looked at Bloodthirsty Desolate. He knew that Bloodthirsty Desolate was worried that they would ambush them. Now that they had one of their own on the ground, Bloodthirsty Desolate would be alerted as soon as Wind Scar and the others sensed any commotion. Bloodthirsty Desolate would turn to deal with them.
However, Wind Mark also knew that it was useless to say anything. Without saying a word, he led his subordinates outside and went downstairs to level up.
"Alright, let's do it." Crimson Blood Sky nodded at the members of Maple Leaf Guild.
Following which, the two guilds approached the edge of the Ruins Stone Tablet. The Robotic Arm Ape was eyeing them covetously.
"I'll pull its aggro!" A middle-aged Shield Knight walked out from Crimson Blood's group.
There were a total of two Shield Knights in his party. With their combined defensive skills, even a normal Boss would have a hard time killing them.
The Robotic Arm Ape was already impatient. As soon as the Shield Knight approached, it roared and raised its mechanical arm, fiercely attacking the Shield Knight.
The Shield Knight raised his shield to block the attack, but the Robotic Arm only managed to push him back two steps. At the same time, it dealt less than -5,000 damage.
"No problem. This guy's strength isn't very strong."
After receiving the Robotic Arm Ape's attack, the members of the two guilds immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The Robotic Arm Ape's Attack Power was lower than they had expected. To elite experts like them, killing the Robotic Arm Ape was definitely not a problem.
The Shield Knight had already pulled the aggro, and the Robotic Arm Ape continued to attack in a frenzy.
Under its Berserk state, the Robotic Arm Ape's Attack Power grew stronger and stronger. However, this was within the expectations of the two guilds.
The first Shield Knight's HP was quickly running out. However, the second Shield Knight had already walked over and started to build the Robotic Arm Ape's aggro on him.
As such, although the Robotic Arm Ape's attacks grew stronger and stronger, it was still unable to effectively deal any fatal damage to them.
The only thing the two guilds had to worry about was the Robotic Arm Ape's large-scale attacks.
Did the Robotic Arm Ape have any large-scale attacks?
Yes, it did!
The Robotic Arm Ape's HP dropped rapidly. When its HP fell below 20%, its red mechanical eyes began to spin rapidly. Then, the black mechanical arms blasted out a fist, creating a net of lightning that spread in all directions. However, the attack range was not too far.
However, Crimson Blood Sky and the others did not let down their guard because of this.
This was only the state of the Robotic Arm Ape when its HP fell below 20%. Following this, the Robotic Arm Ape's state might change again.
As expected, when the Robotic Arm Ape's HP fell below 10%, the Robotic Arm Ape's mechanical eyes spun rapidly again. Then, the black mechanical arms shone brightly, and an intense net of lightning was blasted out from the mechanical arms.
This net of lightning was more than a level stronger than before. The damage it dealt would most likely be even more shocking!
"Human Wall!
Combine defense! "
However, Crimson Blood Sky Wasteland did not panic and shouted in a deep voice.
Then, the players from the two large guilds instantly flashed. Those with high HP formed a human wall in front of them, while those with low HP hid behind them.
A yellow light appeared on the bodies of the members of the two guilds. Under the cover of this yellow light, all of their HP began to drop.
Above everyone's head, a damage of close to 20,000 floated up one after another.
Seeing this, Crimson Blood Sky and the others were shocked.
Although they had expected the attack power of the Robotic Arm Ape when it exploded, the damage dealt by the Robotic Arm Ape still exceeded their expectations.
If it were not for their tacit cooperation and the fact that their guild had also risen to a Level 4 guild and obtained a combined defense skill, at least half of them would have been killed by the Robotic Arm Ape's attack.
Now that they had suffered the Robotic Arm Ape's strongest attack, killing it next would not be a problem. However, the monsters they encountered at the spawn point were already so powerful. How difficult would the monsters after this be? Crimson Blood Sky could not help but feel a little uncertain.
However, they were not the only ones who had to face these ferocious monsters. It was the same for others. If they felt that it was difficult to deal with, others would feel the same way too!
Thinking of this, Crimson Blood Sky regained his confidence.
In terms of strength, Crimson Blood Guild was not weaker than other guilds!
Boom!
After using its trump card, the Robotic Arm Ape did not use any other big moves to disgust them. Very obediently, it was killed by the combined efforts of the two large guilds.
As soon as the Robotic Arm Ape died, the magic barrier surrounding the Ruins Stone Tablet disappeared along with it.
"Hehe, Luo Hong, I'm sorry, but the one who dealt the final blow was one of us."
Crimson Blood Sky said to Luo Hong with a smile.
"Got it. Hurry up and see what that Ruins Fragment is."
Seeing that it was not one of their own who dealt the final blow, Luo Hong was displeased. However, she was still quite curious about the Ruins Fragment.
Some voices rang out from the Crimson Blood Guild, but they did not say anything. Very quickly, Crimson Blood Sky strode towards the Ruins Stone Tablet.
Coming into contact with the Ruins Stone Tablet and learning an Advanced Rare Skill was something that everyone in the two large guilds wanted. However, there was only one item, and it was not easy to distribute it. At this time, if someone else were to take the Ruins Stone Tablet, there would be even more people who would be dissatisfied. Since Crimson Blood Sky had the highest reputation, they would not have so many complaints.
Crimson Blood Sky was less than ten meters away from the Ruins Stone Tablet. A few more steps, and he would be able to obtain an Advanced Rare Skill and a Ruins Fragment.
Even Crimson Blood Sky could not help but feel a little excited.
There was no player in the game who was not passionate about skills and equipment, and Crimson Blood Sky was no exception.
However, in the next second, Crimson Blood Sky could not help but be stunned.
He was clearly only a few steps away from the Ruins Stone Tablet, but at this moment, a figure had appeared beside the Ruins Stone Tablet.
This person's palm was already pressed against the moss-covered Ruins Stone Tablet. As soon as the Ruins Stone Tablet came into contact with his palm, a burst of black light erupted, and this black light instantly surged into the person's body.
Then, a palm-sized stone fragment surrounded by black light appeared from the Ruins Stone Tablet and floated down, landing in the person's hand.
"You … How could you be here?!"
Crimson Blood Sky was infuriated as he looked at the figure who was one step ahead of him. He could not help but feel like he was going crazy.
He had clearly ordered people to guard the floor below, and not only that, but also placed anti-stealth and disguise items at the entrance of the floor. Even if Chen Mo could secretly go online without being discovered, it was impossible for him to come out from the floor below!
But now, not only did he come out, he even snatched the Ruins Stone Tablet at the last moment!
Chen Mo did not answer his question. He only glanced at the Skills he had learned and the Ruins Fragment in his hand, and looked at Crimson Blood Sky with a mocking gaze.
"Kill!
Drop the item!
Don't let him escape! "
Crimson Blood Sky's eyes were filled with killing intent as he shouted angrily.
In the Ruins, the items obtained after death would be 100% dropped. As long as he killed Chen Mo, even if he could not get the Skills back, he could at least get the Ruins Fragment back.
"Hehe!" Chen Mo chuckled, and his figure suddenly moved, rushing to the other side of the floor.
"You can't run away!"
Crimson Blood Sky chased after him with his men, and said coldly. There was no way out in front of him.
But then, they saw the guy who had snatched their Ruins Stone Tablet jump down from the floor that was more than a hundred meters above them!
"The legendary mount, Dark Phoenix!"
Running to the edge of the floor, they looked at the flying figure below and gasped.
