The mutant lion was so ferocious that the three guards hesitated slightly.
They were just ordinary guards and couldn't be compared to the NPCs guarding the city. Their true strength was only slightly stronger than Morris', but their combat strength was actually very weak.
Chen Mo alone could easily take on a few of these guards without breaking a sweat.
However, the guards that Chen Mo had seen before were all quite strong. As for the guards in Kannek's house, Chen Mo was new and thought that they were as strong as the guards he had seen before.
"The alarm is still ringing. Go in quickly!"
At this moment, another guard rushed over. With four guards together, they finally mustered up their courage and charged at the mutant lion.
Roar!
The Spirit Queen controlled the mutant lion and pounced on the four guards.
"Such weak guards?"
As soon as they exchanged blows, Chen Mo knew that these guards were much weaker than he had expected.
He was a little surprised, but this was even better. With the strength of the four guards in front of him, the Spirit Queen and the mutant lion might really be able to resist them together!
After communicating with the Spirit Queen, Chen Mo asked the Spirit Queen to try her best to resist and not let the guards enter.
The Spirit Queen nodded and tried her best to control the mutant lion to resist the guards' attacks.
Under the Spirit Queen's control, the four guards were beaten by the mutant lion to the point that they couldn't enter the treasure room.
"Good-for-nothing!
You're all good-for-nothings!
I spent so much money to invite a bunch of good-for-nothings!
What's there to be afraid of? It's just a few of them. Charge in! "
Not long after, the middle-aged fatty Kannek hurriedly ran over.
Seeing that the four guards were blocked by a mutant lion and couldn't enter the treasure room, Kannek roared in anger.
Because of the price, he knew that the four guards he hired weren't strong, but he didn't expect them to be so weak. The four of them were blocked by a mutant lion.
"Boss, this mutant lion is very strong. We can't beat it. It's standing at the entrance of the treasure room. It's very difficult for us to enter."
A guard said while sweating profusely.
The four of them couldn't beat a mutant lion. It wasn't something to be proud of.
"Scram!
Let me do it!
Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have spent more money and hired someone better. "
Kannaik bitterly took out a magic scroll.
He held a magic scroll in his left hand and a magic wand in his right.
This fatty was actually a magician?
Chen Mo, who was hiding in the shadows, was a little surprised. At the same time, he knew that the Mutant Lion would most likely not be able to hold on any longer.
The entrance to the treasury was not large, so it was nearly impossible to dodge the Magic Scroll's attack. Moreover, even if one could dodge the attack, the guards would take advantage of the opportunity to enter the treasury.
Konnak chanted a spell, and the magic scroll turned into a gray ray of light that shot towards the Mutant Lion.
"Dodge it!"
Chen Mo said to the Ghost Queen.
Worried that what happened to Black Phoenix would happen again, Chen Mo asked Spirit Queen to leave the Mutant Lion.
Even if there were any problems with the mutated lion, Chen Mo wouldn't be worried. At most, he could just remove his relationship with the mutated lion and capture it again. However, the same couldn't be said for the spirit queen.
Kannek had cast a binding skill, and the spirit queen stealthily left the Mutant Lion's back. The Mutant Lion was then bound by the grey light.
"Quick!
While the monster can't move, let's enter the treasury now! "
Konnak yelled at the guards.
"Yes!"
The four guards hurriedly stepped forward.
However, they had only taken a few steps when they paused again.
A masked figure appeared in front of them. The figure stood in front of the treasury's entrance, blocking their path.
Not only that, a crossbow appeared in the masked figure's hand, and a wave of arrows shot out from the crossbow, forcing them to retreat!
"What are you afraid of?
Cowards, you have the advantage in numbers. Just charge!
If you don't enter the treasury now, I'll hold you responsible if something is lost! "
Kannek was furious. Indeed, you got what you paid for. These guards were really worth their price.
He had thought that with his relationship with the Yellow Sand City's guards, as long as he invited these people to put on a show, no one would dare to do anything to him. In the end, he had set himself up.
Under Konnak's urging, the four guards gritted their teeth and charged towards Chen Mo again.
They had planned to charge into the treasury even if they were attacked by Chen Mo.
Konnak was right. They did not need to be afraid. They had the advantage in numbers and would not die in a short period of time.
It was wishful thinking, but when they were hit by the golden rays, they could not help but grimace.
These golden rays actually had the ability to restrict their movements, causing them to be unable to move for a while.
Golden Mark!
It was also because of the Golden Mark that Chen Mo dared to agree to Morris's request. Otherwise, it would be easy to kill the NPCs, but it would be difficult to prevent a large number of NPCs from entering the same entrance. After all, with the NPCs' HP and defense, normal people would not be able to stop them at all.
The guards before him were too weak. Chen Mo knew that with the Golden Mark, he should be able to complete the mission smoothly.
"Trash!
You're all trash!
Completely useless!
I still have to do it! "
Konnak was furious when he saw how useless the four guards were.
He took out another scroll and used it on Chen Mo.
Konnak also wanted to restrain Chen Mo with the same gray rays.
However, Chen Mo was not someone the Mutant Lion could compare to. Konnak was shocked to find that the magic rays he shot out could not hit the person at all.
It was clearly a tracking spell, but it still failed. Konnak was in disbelief.
He took out another two magic scrolls and used them consecutively, but the results were the same. He could not do anything to Chen Mo at all.
"I don't believe it!"
Konnak was furious. A pile of scrolls appeared in his hand, and he threw them all at Chen Mo.
Faced with so many attacks, Chen Mo was still calm and composed. He used Bloodshadow Teleportation and Spatial Phantom to easily cause Konnak's attacks to miss.
During this time, Konnak also let a few of his subordinates enter the treasure room. However, Chen Mo could still block the guards while dodging Konnak's attacks.
Konnak was furious when he saw this and cursed the guards as pigs again. The guards were on the verge of tears.
However, a flurry of hurried footsteps sounded. The guards perked up and knew that the pursuers were here.
They were real city guards, and their strength was far from what they could compare to. With the city guards around, the masked man would not be able to stop them no matter how powerful he was.
Sure enough, when he saw the city guards appear, the masked man no longer resisted. Instead, he moved and disappeared from the wall. He had escaped.
"Quick!
Enter the treasure room! "
Konnak did not have time to care about the escaping masked man. He hurriedly yelled as he entered the treasure room.
"Ah!!!
Which wretched bastard actually stole the incomparably rare primordial gemstone! "
Konnak was very familiar with the placement of the gemstones in the treasure room. When he entered, he noticed that the emerald was missing.
Morris had obviously succeeded. He took the primordial gemstone from Konnak's mouth in a short period of time and left through the underground passage. He then placed the brick on the ground.
Konnak and the others searched for a while before they noticed that the brick in the corner was a little strange. When they found the secret passage and the sewer, Morris was already nowhere to be found.
Konnak then put out a wanted notice for Chen Mo. Although Chen Mo's face was covered, his name could not be hidden at this distance. Soon, Yellow Sand City put out a wanted notice for an adventurer named Silent.
However, this matter did not attract too much attention. After all, this name was already on the wanted list of the angels. How could those who read the wanted notice not know?
"Here, this is the token of the Celestial Tribe.
With this token, you can go to the Wilderness Cathedral in the Desolate Country and find the Dark Church. "
It was still the middle of the night. Yellow Sand City became very lively because of the two's theft. Chen Mo and Morris met again outside Yellow Sand City.
Not only did Chen Mo escape safely, but Morris also left Yellow Sand City as a precaution.
Morris' mission was an unofficial mission, but Morris was also a man of his word. The two of them met at the agreed location outside the city. When Morris appeared, he handed a black wooden token to Chen Mo.
System Notification: You have obtained the token of the Celestial Tribe!
Chen Mo looked at the system notification. After confirming that there was no error, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Although it took a little more time, successfully obtaining the token was better than anything else.

Fourth update.
