"Did you do something to this caterpillar?"
Through the transparent glass cover, Chen Mo clearly felt that this black caterpillar was different from the one he saw.
This black caterpillar looked much more docile. Even though it was locked in the glass cover, it didn't seem to resist.
"Hehe, you can see it?
After I caught it, I did a lot of experiments on it. Later, I studied some potions. After using them on it, it became much more docile.
However, this little thing is very cunning. I'm not sure if it's in disguise now. I have to wait for a while to be clear.
Let's not talk about this little guy. In fact, my research is now stuck in a bottleneck. I want to know something about your adventurer world. If I figure it out, I may be able to solve my problem. "
After Wayne smiled a little proudly, he changed the topic and asked Chen Mo some questions about the real world.
Chen Mo came here to get Wayne's help. Of course, he wouldn't refuse Wayne's small request.
… …
It wasn't until more than an hour later that Chen Mo left the ruined city.
Wayne asked Chen Mo a lot of questions about the real world, and Chen Mo also asked Wayne a lot of questions, especially about how he caught the black caterpillar and about the props to deal with angels.
As a result, whether it was catching the black caterpillar or dealing with angels, Wayne said that he had all the props in his hands.
However, if Chen Mo wanted to get these props, he had to help him do one thing, and that was to kill someone.
This person was none other than Wayne's biological elder brother.
Chen Mo wanted to know why Wayne did this, but Wayne didn't tell him the real reason. He only told Chen Mo that decades ago, the Desolate Country was the same as an ordinary kingdom. However, decades ago, because of someone, the Desolate Country underwent a drastic change and became a chaotic place where only sinners were willing to come here.
Needless to say, Chen Mo also knew that this person was Wayne's elder brother, Cayton.
Although he didn't know the deeper reason, Cayton definitely deserved to die for turning a kingdom into what it was now. Chen Mo didn't hesitate to accept Wayne's task.
Since Cayton was Wayne's elder brother, Wayne naturally knew a lot about Cayton. Before leaving, Chen Mo tried to ask him all the information he wanted to know.
After some questioning, Chen Mo found that Wayne was already very powerful, but his elder brother was even more powerful.
Although Wayne hated this big brother of his, his words still revealed a hint of admiration. If it weren't for some reason that caused the two of them to become enemies and want to kill each other, Wayne would definitely be one of the people who supported Cayton the most.
Just how powerful was Cayton?
To put it simply, everything Wayne knew now was because of Cayton's influence. As his elder brother, Cayton did everything Wayne did better than Wayne. Over the years, Wayne had hired people to kill Cayton, but none of them had ever succeeded. All those who went to kill Cayton never returned.
Needless to say, these people were all killed by Cayton. Even their corpses were nowhere to be found.
Wayne's combat ability was very average, but Cayton was a famous Great Mage. He was originally very famous in the Desolate Country. Those who went to kill him were all killed by the magic arrays and traps he set up near his residence.
Even if Chen Mo had the Camouflage skill, it would be impossible for him to get close to Cayton.
Cayton's magic arrays had extremely strong anti-stealth abilities. Nobody could pass through his magic arrays without being detected.
Cayton was also proficient in many other magic besides magic arrays. Coupled with his luxurious equipment, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to pass through.
Chen Mo accepted the quest and planned to go. Before Chen Mo set out, Wayne gave Chen Mo two potions as support.
These two potions were called "Wayne's Experimental Potion No. 13." Its effect was to increase a player's stealth and camouflage abilities. After drinking Potion No. 13 and entering stealth, aside from Boss-level monsters, no ordinary monster would be able to detect a player in stealth, no matter how high their level.
These two potions also couldn't allow players to pass through Cayton's magic arrays, but they could allow players to get close to Cayton.
Cayton lived in a small valley about two hours north of the city.
Chen Mo's Movement Speed was fast, but it still took him almost an hour and a half to reach the desolate valley.
Outside the valley, there were piles of bones. No one knew what kind of experiments Cayton was doing in the valley that killed so many lives.
It was one thing to kill them, but to pile them up outside the valley as if showing off, this Cayton was even more perverted than Wayne had described.
There was only one chance to kill Cayton. If he didn't catch Cayton the first time and let him escape, someone like Cayton probably wouldn't show up again and give Chen Mo a chance to act.
So, Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry to act. Instead, he decided to go to the top of the mountain and see what Cayton had set up before making a decision.
"This old man really did set up a lot of magic traps around the mountain. Unfortunately, he can't fool me."
Chen Mo climbed up the mountain. Along the way, he saw many traps set up by Cayton. Those who were not observant enough would easily fall into Cayton's traps and be discovered by Cayton.
However, under Chen Mo's careful observation, none of Cayton's traps worked.
After a while, Chen Mo finally reached the top of the mountain.
There were even more traps at the top of the mountain. He didn't know how much time Cayton had spent on them. It wasn't easy for Chen Mo to find a good vantage point on a tree branch.
From this vantage point, he could see almost everything in the valley.
From the tree branch, there wasn't anything special in the valley. There were only a lot of things scattered on the ground. However, by the time he reached the top, Chen Mo seemed to have fully understood how powerful Cayton's traps were. Who knew how many magic traps were hidden in the valley?
It was still early, and there were still a few hours before nightfall. Chen Mo was prepared to make his move an hour before nightfall.
As for after nightfall, Cayton's traps would be harder to find. Chen Mo wouldn't choose a time when it was easier to assassinate at night.
Half an hour later, Chen Mo waited patiently at the top of the mountain.
"That's …"
However, when Chen Mo saw an old NPC that looked like Wayne, a man, and a woman coming out of a building in the valley, Chen Mo couldn't stay calm.
The agent and Capcom!
These two people had arrived before him to find Cayton, and they seemed to be having a good chat with Cayton.
It was fine if he didn't know these two people, but they definitely didn't come looking for Cayton for anything good.
Cayton sent the two people out of the valley, and then returned to his residence with an excited expression.
On the top of the mountain, Chen Mo originally wanted to observe for an hour or two before acting. However, he couldn't wait to go down and find Cayton. He wanted to see what these two people wanted from Cayton.
As for Capcom and the agent, Chen Mo didn't plan to chase after them. Even if he caught up with them, killing them would be meaningless. It would only alert the enemy.
After making sure that the two people were far away, Chen Mo didn't hesitate. He put on the Frost Crystal Armor, added some defense, and jumped down from the valley.
He didn't want to waste any more time with Cayton. He was ready to use all means at his disposal to subdue Cayton!
If there were no traps around, he could easily jump down from the top of the valley and cause trouble for Cayton.
However, before he came, Wayne had warned him not to take the shortcut at the top of the mountain. That way, he would be attacked by Cayton's traps, and no matter how powerful he was, he would be killed instantly.
However, now that Chen Mo was eager to know why Capcom and the agent were looking for Cayton, he couldn't care less.
As Chen Mo descended from the sky, a huge change occurred in the originally calm mountain valley!
Rays of seven-colored light shone, and huge magic patterns appeared in the sky around the valley, completely covering the entire valley!
The entire sky looked like it was constructed with magic. Waves of magic rumbled in the sky, and it was about to fall.
"Hmph!
I haven't seen such a stupid Assassin in a long time. Didn't my dear brother tell you that you're looking for death by falling from the sky in broad daylight? "
Cayton heard the voice and came out. He stood at the door and looked at Chen Mo, who was falling from the sky, and said sarcastically.
Many Assassins had been killed by his magic, but other than the first Assassin, no one else had tried to fall from the sky like this. He had set up so many traps, and in the past few decades, it was only today that he had the chance to trigger them.
There were a total of seventy-three traps here. If it was any other way of invading, it might only trigger some of them. However, if he tried to invade from the top of the valley, all seventy-three traps would be triggered!
Countless magic attacks would last for fifteen seconds, and all the magic attacks would be like a storm, covering the entire valley. No one would be able to escape from such an attack!
This stupid Assassin, before his feet even touched the ground, he would be turned into charcoal in the air!
"Wings?"
A large number of indiscriminate attacks were about to land on Lin Li, but at this moment, Cayton was surprised to see this audacious intruder spread a pair of wings in the air just as the innumerable attacks were about to land on Lin Li.
Even if a real angel were to come and trigger all the traps, he would still die, let alone this pair of gray wings that looked like an inferior product.
Cayton was a little confused. Was there something wrong with this Assassin's brain?
Countless magic attacks came crashing down on him. Chen Mo looked at the countless layers of magic attacks in the sky, and there was no trace of fear on his face.
Spatial Rift!
Using the gray wings naturally allowed him to use Flight and use skills in the sky.
The moment the countless magic attacks fell from the sky, Chen Mo slashed with his palm, and the space in front of him split open.
Spatial Skill?
Cayton frowned when he saw this.
A person with spatial skills should not be stupid. But if this person was not stupid, why would he fall from the sky and trigger all the traps?
Cayton could not help but feel that something was wrong.
However, the magic traps here were all set up by him. If they lasted fifteen seconds, no one would be able to survive!
Cayton shook his head and confirmed his thoughts.
Spatial Rift!
The attacks all over the sky converged on Chen Mo. Chen Mo slashed with his hand, and with the Spatial Rift as the center, the space within a radius of ten meters suddenly shattered!
In an instant, the magic attacks that came crashing down on Chen Mo were all shot into nothingness and disappeared without a trace!
The reason why Chen Mo had chosen Space Rupture was because Space Rupture could be used to block attacks.
The Spatial Rift could be used together with the Spatial Devour skill to instantly kill the enemy and become an almost invincible super killer move. It was also an absolutely invincible defensive ability.
The Spatial Rift skill could only block attacks from one side, but the Spatial Rift skill could only block attacks from one side. Except for Chen Mo's position, the surrounding circular space would shatter, forming an existence like a black hole. No matter how powerful the attack was, it would be useless before the Spatial Rift skill.
At least, attacks below the third class enhancement would definitely not be able to pass through the void formed by the Spatial Rift skill.
Moreover, it was different from the Spatial Rift skill. After the Spatial Rift skill was used, if there were no particularly powerful attacks coming from the surroundings, the shattered space would quickly recover. The Spatial Rift skill would only last for a few seconds.
However, if there were constantly powerful attacks coming from the surroundings, the recovery speed of the Spatial Rift would be slowed down by these attacks.
Simply put, the stronger the attack, the longer the Spatial Rift skill would last. As long as the attack was strong enough, it was not impossible for the Spatial Rift skill to last for a minute!
Right now, Cayton's magic array was releasing earth-shattering attacks that could instantly kill most of the creatures in the game.
With such powerful attacks constantly bombarding the Spatial Rift, the recovery speed of the Spatial Rift was very slow.
Chen Mo flew quietly in the center of the Spatial Rift. The countless magic attacks around him stopped ten meters away from him.
These attacks that could instantly kill everything did not even have a single chance to reach Chen Mo. The Ice Crystal Armor that Chen Mo had put on himself did not work.
"How is this possible!"
Cayton's eyes widened as he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
There was actually someone who could survive such an attack unscathed. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, Cayton would never believe it!
However, even so, the victory was still his. This Assassin would not be able to hold on for long!
Five seconds passed.
The Spatial Rift did not show any signs of recovering. Cayton's expression began to change.
Six seconds, seven seconds, eight seconds …
Time passed second by second. Cayton had come out to admire his masterpiece of magic traps that he had created over the years. He did not expect that every second would be so torturous.
Time passed second by second, and the shattered space finally showed signs of recovery. However, Cayton was an enemy that even Wayne had to admire. In just a few seconds, Cayton could already tell that at this rate of recovery, let alone 15 seconds, even 30 seconds wouldn't be enough for the shattered space to recover.
Simply put, the trap that he had set up over the years and thought could kill all intruders was completely useless against the Assassin in front of him!
Run!
Cayton was very decisive. There were still many valuable things in the house, but he did not want them. He moved his body and rushed into the Spatial Rift.
He could pass through the Spatial Rift unscathed. If the Assassin wanted to chase him, he would have to wait until the Spatial Rift was over.
Cayton was right. Chen Mo could only watch as he escaped from the Spatial Rift.
However, Chen Mo was not in a hurry. Cayton only had half a minute to escape. He would not be able to get far.
In fact, Cayton did not even have fifteen seconds. After a few seconds, Cayton escaped from the Spatial Rift and the Spatial Rift disappeared.
The Spatial Rift was not affected by the Spatial Rift's attack and quickly recovered.
There was no one around. Chen Mo put on the Angelic Wings and chased after Cayton at full speed.
"He changed his wings again. They look like the wings of an Angel. He's so fast!"
Cayton was in front. He looked back and saw Chen Mo chasing after him like lightning. He could not help but feel his soul leave his body.
A Teleportation Scroll!
Cayton gritted his teeth and decided to use the Teleportation Scroll to escape first.
NPCs were not like players. Here, the world was real to them. As long as there were no restrictions, players could use Teleportation Scrolls without limit.
However, NPCs could not. Every time they used a Teleportation Scroll, it would be a burden on their bodies.
The younger NPCs were stronger and stronger.
It was not a big deal. However, for the old Cayton, using a Teleportation Scroll could cost him his life. He would not use it unless his life was in danger.
Seeing that the Assassin was about to catch up, Cayton could not care less.
The Teleportation Scroll appeared in Cayton's hand. He began to read the progress bar.
"Don't worry. There's still time. I can teleport away before he arrives!"
Chen Mo came at him like a bolt of lightning. Cayton forced himself to calm down. He knew that Chen Mo could not do anything to him.
Even an Archer with a long range could only barely enter his attack range. The Assassin in front of him was clearly not an Archer. He could not attack him and interrupt his progress bar.
"Okay!
That's enough! "
Cayton's estimation was right. After the progress bar finished reading, Chen Mo barely reached Cayton's estimated position.
In this position, only the best Archers with a long range could attack Cayton. Other professions, even Mages with long range, could only watch as Cayton escaped.
"Hey?
You want to leave? "
Looking at Cayton, who had finished reading the progress bar and was about to teleport away, Chen Mo sneered.
A dark spear appeared in his hand.
The Spear of Judgement!
The Magic Scroll in Cayton's hand turned into a gray light. It wrapped around Cayton and carried him away through space.
However, the moment the gray light flashed, the Spear of Judgement in Chen Mo's hand came whistling from afar!
"So far?
Impossible! "Cayton's eyes widened.
This was a heavy spear, not a light arrow. It should be impossible to launch an attack at such a long distance!
"Where did this freak come from?!
That damned Wayne, he hasn't sent anyone to assassinate me for so long. This time, it's different from before! "Cayton was terrified.
No matter how he looked at it, this Assassin was too much of a freak. It was completely beyond his imagination.
However, looking at the Spear of Judgement flying towards him, Cayton's heart calmed down.
He knew that this black spear, although frightening, would not be able to attack him.
This Assassin would fail in the end.
Just as Cayton had predicted, when the Spear of Judgement was still a few meters away from him, Cayton was swept away by the gray light and disappeared in front of the Spear of Judgement.
"You can't kill me!
You can't kill me!
Before everyone dies, I, Cayton, will never die! "
The moment before he disappeared, Cayton roared at Chen Mo.
It had been many years since someone had forced him into such a difficult situation. However, he would not die this time. Next time, he would learn his lesson and no one would be able to kill him!
"Is that so?"
Chen Mo looked at Cayton's disappearing figure and sneered.
Whoosh!
In front of him, the moment Cayton disappeared, the Spear of Judgement also disappeared!
Then, in the next moment, further in front of him, two to three hundred meters away, a scream was heard and a figure escaped from the space.
This figure was none other than Cayton!
Cayton, who had entered the space teleportation, was forcefully stabbed out by the Spear of Judgement!
"What the hell is this!"
Cayton looked at the weapon that was stabbed into his body and gradually disappeared.
"As expected of a Divine Artifact replica. Even if it's a low-quality replica, the effect is still so heaven-defying!"
Chen Mo looked at the Spear of Judgement that had returned to his hand and his eyes were full of admiration.
After he equipped the Spear of Judgement, there were several heaven-defying attributes on it. However, among these attributes, there were two. The first was the super-long range bonus from the Sea Spear Mastery, and the second was the Absolute Judgement.
Just like the Time Ring, although the skills on the Spear of Judgement were heaven-defying, they could only be used once a day.
Whether it was the super-long range attack or the Absolute Judgement, they could only be used once a day.
However, for Chen Mo, this was enough.
When he activated the super-long range attack ability, he could almost reach the limit of the attack range in the game.
As for the Absolute Judgement, it was even more overpowered.
He could lock onto the enemy within the attack range. As long as he locked onto the enemy, no matter where the enemy was, the Spear of Judgement would hit the enemy 100% of the time.
If the enemy did not have any defensive skills and was hit by Chen Mo's Spear of Judgement, the player would definitely be killed instantly. The NPC would also lose a lot of HP in an instant.
Cayton was forcefully thrown out of the space, and his body was already heavily injured.
"I can't let him catch up, I can still escape!"
Although the use of the Space Escape Scroll failed and his body was greatly injured by the spatial pressure and the Spear of Judgement, he still managed to escape more than two hundred meters away and widened the distance between him and Chen Mo. Cayton did not give up.
A stack of Magic Scrolls appeared in his hand. He used a few of them in a row and immediately felt much better.
His body was recovering, and his speed was also greatly increased.
"You still want to run?"
Chen Mo looked at the frantically escaping Cayton, flapped his wings and chased after him.
… …
Damn, I'm really not efficient at all in the middle of the night. I've been up all night and only just finished writing. I'm not going to say anything, I'm going to sleep!
