"Of course, these things are useless to you adventurers, but to an old man like me who lives alone in the forest, they are very valuable.
Adventurer, if you give these Forest Crystals to me, I won't let you lose out. "
Mogil looked at Chen Mo and said sincerely.
"If you can tell me what these Forest Crystals are for, I don't mind giving you some."
Chen Mo took out a piece of Forest Crystal and played with it carefully. The translucent green Forest Crystal seemed to have an inexplicable power.
"This is not a secret. The Forest Crystal is a special type of energy used to power ancient magic tools."
Mogil took out a palm-sized ball that was half-metal and half-glass. "This is a monster detector. If it's powered by the Forest Crystal, it can easily detect monsters within a radius of 300 meters. The stronger the monster, the more obvious the signs shown on it will be.
If I have the Forest Crystal, I won't have to worry about being attacked by monsters in the forest. However, the monsters in the forest are too strong and I don't have any Forest Crystals on me. Otherwise, I could show you the effects of this Monster Detector. "
Mogil said regretfully.
"Monster Detector?
Interesting!
Xiao Xiao, give Mr. Mogil a piece of Forest Crystal and let him demonstrate. Mr. Mogil, you won't refuse, right? "Chen Mo's eyes lit up as he asked the little Warrior to step forward.
Tsk tsk, Monster Detector, this is really a good thing!
"Of course, it's nothing," Mogil agreed readily.
The little Warrior walked up to Mogil and reached out to take out the Forest Crystal.
However, at that moment, a green light suddenly shot out from Mogil's palm and stabbed into the little Warrior's body.
-1,000!
A damage of exactly 1,000 floated above the little Warrior's head. The little Warrior, who was not wearing any equipment, was instantly killed.
Mogil moved and quickly floated to the little Warrior's corpse. He bent down to pick up the items dropped by the little Warrior.
However, in the next moment, Mogil was stunned.
This human adventurer, who was instantly killed by him, did not drop anything. Not even a Forest Crystal!
"Old man, you've shown your fox tail!" Chen Mo smiled as he looked at Mogil.
Morgir was the Instance Dungeon's guardian. Although Chen Mo was shaken by this conclusion after the Golden Phoenix duo was banished, he soon believed that his conclusion was correct.
Only Mokir, the Instance Dungeon's guardian, could explain why the Ancient Dryad was hiding near Mokir!
The reason why the Golden Phoenix was banished by the system was because Mogil was still an NPC at that time.
The rules clearly stated that the Instance Dungeon Guardian would only appear when 100 Forest Crystals were used or when the number of players in the Instance Dungeon was less than 10. Before that, even if players suspected Mokir's identity, without any evidence, Mokir was still an NPC.
It was like playing a single-player game. You read the guide and knew the true identity of an NPC, but before you found the item to reveal his identity, the next step of the plot would not be triggered.
If they were outside the dungeon and suspected an NPC, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, this was a dungeon, and a Hell Mode dungeon at that. There were extremely strict rules of the game. In order to increase the difficulty, the rules of the dungeon were completely biased towards the Dungeon Guardian.
Chen Mo was certain that Mokir was the Instance Dungeon's guardian. He also speculated that the Forest Crystals were an item that could increase Mokir's strength.
The more Forest Crystals Mokir obtained, the more powerful he would become. If players were unable to be certain that Mokir was the Instance Dungeon's guardian and made any transactions with him, they would most likely fall into an irrecoverable situation.
However, with the Golden Phoenix before them, aside from Chen Mo, who had long since known of the Ancient Dryad's existence, no one could be certain that Mokir was the Instance Dungeon's guardian. If their speculation was wrong, attacking him would mean being banished from the Instance Dungeon. No one dared to recklessly try.
Even Chen Mo, who knew of the Ancient Dryad's existence and was almost 100% certain that Mokir was the Instance Dungeon's guardian, did not dare to rashly launch an attack. Instead, he thought of a way to have Mokir take the initiative to snatch the Forest Crystals.
Mokir's sneak attack was not Chen Mo's blind luck.
The Ancient Dryad was clearly Mokir's accomplice. Mokir would not be unaware of his attack on the Ancient Dryad.
Mokir could not be sure if Chen Mo, who knew of the Ancient Dryad's existence, would still purchase items from him to deal with the Ancient Dryad.
At this time, when the little Warrior, who had the Forest Crystal and was not wearing any equipment, stepped forward, it was normal for Mokir to launch a sneak attack.
Even if Mokir, who did not have the Forest Crystal, was very weak, killing a Level 10 adventurer who was not wearing any equipment was not a problem.
After killing this adventurer, he would immediately obtain the Forest Crystal!
Normally, this adventurer would have at least ten Forest Crystals on him!
Ten Forest Crystals were not a lot, but it was enough for him to deal with another adventurer. At the very least, he would be able to hold on until the Ancient Dryad arrived!
However, he would never have thought that this human adventurer did not have a single Forest Crystal on him. He said that he had given him the Forest Crystal to test the monster detector, but it was a lie!
Knowing that his identity had been exposed, Mokir did not say a word. His figure flashed as he charged in the direction of the Ancient Dryad.
"Still trying to escape?" Chen Mo sneered.
After spending ten Forest Crystals, Chen Mo revived the little Warrior. Then, he brought Big Fat with him and chased after Mokir.
After the little Warrior was revived, she did not charge after them. Instead, she turned around and rushed back to the forest where she had been hiding.
There were still twenty Forest Crystals hidden there.
Forest Crystals could not be traded. In order to carry out this plan, Chen Mo had been killed by the little Warrior once and dropped all the Forest Crystals on him. After the little Warrior revived him, he killed the little Warrior again and revived her. Only then were there twenty Forest Crystals left on the ground.
This plan was originally Chen Mo wanted to reduce the risk and test Mokir. If it did not work, he would attack directly. He did not expect Mokir to give himself away.
Mokir did not have any Forest Crystals at all. His attributes were low, and he was only slightly stronger than a normal NPC. After Chen Mo and the Slime King's roar, he and Big Fat caught up to Mokir not long after.
"Die!"
Mokir would not give up just like that. A staff appeared in his hand. He raised the staff and a green light shot towards Chen Mo.
Even if it was an entire team, it would not be easy to kill him. Not to mention, there was only one person and a pet!
He only needed to attack two or three times to kill the fragile human adventurer!
However, Chen Mo was not an ordinary person. Big Fat was not an ordinary pet either.
Mokir was worthy of being a dungeon guardian. The green light he shot could be tracked. Chen Mo did not hesitate to use Big Fat as a shield.
It would be a waste not to use a meat shield with 100,000 HP.
"Roar!" After being hit by the green light and losing thousands of HP, Big Fat roared mightily and charged towards Mokir.
Mokir was a magician, so it was difficult for him to dodge. When Chen Mo summoned a Variant Slime and joined in the attack with the Variant Slime, Mokir was completely at a disadvantage.
Chen Mo did not want to have any nightmares. He brought out all the good items he had.
Mokir only had 50,000 HP. Without obtaining any Forest Crystals or undergoing any mutation, Chen Mo and the two Slime killed Mokir in less than two minutes.
