After learning the decomposition skill, Chen Mo stealthily stuffed another gold coin into Bobo's hand. "Boss Bobo, I wonder if there are any other people in the City of Shadows who have a skill like you?"
Knowing that Bobo was a greedy NPC, Chen Mo wanted to see if he could get some other information from him. Especially when he saw that Bobo's race favorability seemed to be useful, Chen Mo decided to give it a try.
Bobo's eyes lit up again. He quickly put away the gold coin and sighed, "Adventurer, you are very thoughtful. Unfortunately, I don't know anything."
How dare you take my money when you don't know anything!
Chen Mo steeled his heart and stuffed another gold coin into Bobo's hand. The fatty took it without hesitation, but this time, his tone was slightly different. "Adventurer, please don't be like this. I really don't know anything."
Damn fatty, he was indeed greedy. An ordinary person might have already lost two gold coins, but he still had money!
Chen Mo stuffed another gold coin into Bobo's hand. Bobo snatched it away at lightning speed and sighed repeatedly, "You can't do this. How can you do this? It's very difficult for me."
What the hell, still not talking?!
Chen Mo stuffed the last two gold coins he had into Bobo's hands. He made up his mind that if this fellow didn't speak, he would find an opportunity to secretly get rid of this fellow. It could be considered as getting rid of an evil for the people.
As if sensing Chen Mo's murderous intent, Bobo secretly looked around after taking the two gold coins, as if afraid of being discovered. He then whispered to Chen Mo, "Adventurer, since you are so sincere and have learned how to refine medicine, I'll tell you a piece of news. But I'll say the bad news first. I'm only telling you what I know. Whether you can succeed or not will depend on your own ability.
That woman has an eccentric personality. She won't pay attention to most people, especially an adventurer with a bright future like you. I reckon that she will chase you out as soon as she sees you. "
"What does it have to do with refining medicine?" Chen Mo couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hehe, you don't know this. There are many different kinds of refining skills in this world. What you adventurers have learned is only the most basic.
Of course, although it is the most basic, it is also the most versatile and systematic skill.
That woman has been ostracized because she learned a medicine refining skill that is detrimental to us humans. She now lives in the wilderness of the City of Shadows. After so many years, her personality has become increasingly eccentric, "Bobo explained mischievously.
"An Alchemy skill that's disadvantageous to humans? Then what's the point of me learning this skill?" Chen Mo was a little speechless. These five gold coins were going to make a bubble.
"I'm dozens of years younger than that bitch. When she was banished from the City of Shadows, I was still running around naked. What I know is all hearsay. Even if you ask me, I wouldn't know.
...... that...................................... that.
....
......... that woman.............
.. Chen Mo asked for Serena's coordinates and left the City of Shadows.
Outside the City of Shadows was the Dark Forest.
Players who had never been to the Dark Forest would think that it was a forest filled with eerie light.
Chen Mo thought so too when he first heard the name of the Dark Forest. But when the players entered the City of Shadows and arrived at the Dark Forest, they realized how wrong they were.
It wasn't a forest. It was an enormous and frighteningly bright forest!
On the grayish-black ground, enormous trees with a diameter of four to five meters and a height of more than a hundred meters stood tall!
These trees were terrifyingly huge. Their roots intertwined and formed arched bridges on the ground. However, the branches and leaves on the trees were pitifully few. Only sparse patches of green adorned the enormous tree trunks.
If it wasn't for the main human city behind him, Chen Mo would have thought that he had arrived in the world of giants.
The distance between each giant tree was very far. However, the giant tree roots broke out of the ground one after another and intertwined with each other on the empty grayish-black ground. This made the grayish-black ground not appear too empty.
Sunlight shone through these tree roots, forming a rainbow halo.
Monsters spawned around the tree roots. Many players relied on these tree roots to kill monsters with relative ease. However, this was only the case in the Level 11 to Level 13 monster zones. After Level 14, these tree roots would no longer be effective in stopping monsters.
The players' levels were still low. It was very lively outside the City of Shadows. It was like a beginner's village. Many people were fighting over monsters. However, unlike the beginner's village, players could PK and kill here. Chen Mo didn't walk far before he saw two or three parties fighting with each other.
There were more players than monsters in the Level 11 to Level 13 areas. Chen Mo could move freely. Serena's residence wasn't too far from the City of Shadows. Chen Mo only walked for about ten minutes before he found a wooden house under the arched roots of an enormous tree.
This wooden house was very conspicuous in the City of Shadows. Before Chen Mo even got close, he saw a group of players blocking the entrance of the house.
There was no lack of players who had triggered various hidden quests on the forum. Serena's residence was so unique that anyone who saw it couldn't help but want to give it a try.
"Scram!
If you keep bothering me, I won't go easy on you! "
Serena's temper was just as Bobol had said. She had been disturbed by these new adventurers for the past few days. Her patience was reaching its limit.
"Master Serena, we sincerely came to learn from you. No matter what you need our help with, we will do it wholeheartedly!"
The group of players said with utmost sincerity.
Serena was wearing a black magic robe with silver embroidery, giving off a feeling that she was hiding something.
"Scram now!
Otherwise, I'll kill you in three seconds! "Serena shouted with a cold face.
"Master Serena, please believe in our sincerity …" The group of players naturally wouldn't give up so easily. However, there were also some who quietly retreated after hearing Serena's words.
"Hmph!
I've warned you. Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish! "
Serena was finally enraged. With a wave of her hand, a handful of blood-colored powder floated toward the group of players.
"F * ck!
We've been poisoned!
This NPC really knows how to kill people! "
The players who came into contact with the blood-colored powder instantly paled.
One after another, -500 damage floated above the players' heads. At a glance, it was a very impressive number.
These players were only around Level 12 with around 1,000 HP. How could they withstand such powerful poison damage? In just two to three seconds, more than ten people fell to the ground, all dead.
"F * ck, luckily I retreated quickly."
"Forget it, let's go level up. Looking for this woman is a complete waste of time."
The players who didn't get close and were still alive couldn't help but feel relieved.
The group of people left one after another. Soon, only Chen Mo was left.
Chen Mo finally saw Serena's appearance clearly.
Then, Chen Mo couldn't help but sweat.
After hearing Bobol's words, he had thought that Serena was an old woman around 70 years old. However, after seeing Serena, he realized that this was not the case.
The Serena in front of him didn't look old at all. Instead, she was a mature woman with red hair in her thirties.
It seemed that Serena really wasn't an ordinary NPC!
Serena was even more difficult to deal with than Bobol had said. If it were anyone else, the five gold coins that Bobol had bribed would have been wasted. However, Chen Mo had experience dealing with such people.
With a move of his hand, Chen Mo changed to the "Fallen" title.
…
The second time was even worse.
Sorry, I went out and came back late.
