Western City Ruins.
"Sure enough, there are abyssal monsters everywhere."
Before coming, Chen Mo already knew that this was a monster lair. After approaching, he found that the number of monsters was much more than he expected.
There were no traces of players here. Fortunately, there were people who knew about this place before. He just didn't know if there were always so many monsters here.
With the abyssal aura on him, Chen Mo walked through the group of monsters. Many abyssal monsters just glanced at him in confusion and didn't attack him.
Chen Mo came to the green city ruins in front of him.
The city ruins weren't green, but at a glance, the entire city ruins were covered with a layer of lush green moss. There were also all kinds of vines clinging to it, making the entire city look like it was draped in a layer of green.
After accepting the quest, Chen Mo had a blank magic map in his hand. As long as Chen Mo was near the city ruins, he could choose to use this magic map. Then, the map would automatically record the terrain in his field of vision.
If it weren't for the large number of trees growing in the city ruins and covering the terrain below, flying in the air would be a very good way to record it.
However, Chen Mo glanced at the big black birds that appeared in the air from time to time.
These big black birds were also abyssal monsters, but they looked more violent than ordinary abyssal monsters. The cries they made when flying were quite threatening.
These big black birds undoubtedly regarded the airspace here as their territory. He didn't know if he would be regarded as an enemy if he rashly flew into the air.
The Abyss Fruit could prevent him from being attacked by abyssal monsters, but it was only limited to ordinary abyssal monsters. For some special, elite, and boss monsters, Chen Mo would have a high chance of being attacked if he rashly approached.
Even if he recorded the map on the ground, it would only take a little more time.
For safety's sake, Chen Mo didn't fly into the air.
After using the magic map and making the map start recording, Chen Mo crossed a large section of the collapsed city wall full of vines and walked into the ruined city.
"This city is actually a city made of steel?"
Then, after crossing the city wall, Chen Mo looked through the gaps between the vines and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the construction materials of the city ruins.
This city that had been destroyed by the abyssal monsters was also made of metal.
Even so, the metal city was still destroyed by the abyssal monsters.
Star Iron City was also made of metal. Chen Mo had originally thought that Star Iron City was indestructible and that it would be able to withstand the attacks of monsters in the Abyss Region.
Now, it seemed that this wasn't the case. Star Iron City hadn't been destroyed yet. It was just that there hadn't been enough abyssal monsters to attack it.
Only now did Chen Mo understand why the City Lord of Star Iron City wanted the map of the city ruins.
Exploring the ruins of this city and learning from the inadequacies of the destroyed city was probably what the City Lord of Star Iron City wanted.
There were a lot of monsters in the city ruins. Every few steps, they would see a group of monsters.
If it weren't for the fact that these monsters didn't attack Chen Mo, even with Camouflage and Stealth, it would have been very difficult to pass through these monsters. If he was accidentally discovered by these monsters, only death would await him.
Meanwhile, Chen Mo doubted that the only ones capable of entering the city ruin and obtaining all sorts of benefits were those stealth experts.
For other classes, it would be difficult to even approach them, let alone enter.
Since Chen Mo didn't know what level of monsters the Abyssal Fruit could prevent from attacking him, he tried his best not to get too close to the monsters he encountered. As long as he could see, he would record the map.
However, there were many places where Chen Mo had no choice but to carefully pass through the groups of monsters. If he wanted to achieve a Completion Rate of 90% or above, he had to not let go of any place in front of him.
When he reached the center of the city, the place with the most monsters was also the place where the monsters were the most powerful. If he didn't record enough places in front of him, it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to achieve a Completion Rate of 90%.
Fortunately, no monsters attacked Chen Mo as he passed through. The map's Completion Rate continued to increase. In just half an hour, the map's Completion Rate had reached 30%.
If the quest went smoothly, he would be able to record the map in another hour or so.
"A Skill Stele?"
Half an hour after entering the ruined city, Chen Mo encountered a gray stele that resembled a steeple for the first time.
Almost all the buildings in this city were made of metal. Only the steeple stele in front of him was made of gray stone.
He didn't know what material this gray stone was made of. The moss and vines circled around its feet and didn't climb up.
In the green city ruins, this steeple stele was very conspicuous.
On the steeple stele, there was a damaged skill pattern. Chen Mo couldn't tell what skill was originally recorded on the stele. However, he was certain that someone had come to the steeple stele and learned the skill on it.
When he walked up to the steeple stele, he could feel that the magic energy on it had been depleted.
Before he came, Chen Mo already had some understanding of this, so he wasn't too surprised.
Although he had explored 30% of the map, he had only just entered the inner part of the city. It was normal for players to come here and learn the skill first.
Chen Mo continued forward. Next, he found a few more steeples.
These steeples were almost the same. The skill patterns on them were all damaged, and there was no magic energy left. They had all been learned by others. Chen Mo felt that it was a pity.
"60%!"
Another half an hour passed. He had been in the ruined city for more than an hour. Chen Mo had recorded 60% of the map. Another 10% and he would receive the quest reward.
Chen Mo knew that he would soon reach an area that other players hadn't been to.
This quest was still hanging in the Quest Hall, which meant that no one had completed it. At least, no one had completed it at 70%.
Other players had at most completed 60% of the quest.
However, since Chen Mo was recording along the way, other players would skip the areas with more monsters. Chen Mo still had to go a little further to reach the deepest area that other players had reached.
System Notification: Map of the ruined city reached 70%!
After a while, Chen Mo successfully recorded 70% of the map.
"A Skill Stele that no one has learned before!"
After completing the initial part of the quest, Chen Mo continued forward.
When he passed through a group of monsters, Chen Mo suddenly discovered a greyish-black steeple in front of him.
Different from before, this steeple was still emitting a faint blue magic light.
It was obvious that the magic energy of this Skill Stele had not been used up yet. No one had learned the skills on it.
Overjoyed, Chen Mo swiftly approached Zhang Xuan.
System Notification: You have discovered a Beast Warrior Skill Stele. The skill "Giant's Hand" is recorded on it. Do you wish to learn it?
Please note that the Beast Warrior Skill is a special skill that Beast Warrior City discovered after studying abyssal monsters. Through the power of the Skill Stele, it is forcefully attached to a person's body. It will cause a great burden on the person's body. Each person can only learn two Beast Warrior Skills at most.
Giant's Hand: Imitate an abyssal giant and transfer the power of the rest of the body to the right hand, greatly increasing the power of the right hand and reducing the attributes of the rest of the body.
"So this city is called Beast Warrior City. It once specialized in studying abyssal monsters and learning their abilities. No wonder there are Skill Steles everywhere."
Chen Mo had always been curious as to why there were so many Skill Steles in this ruined city.
After encountering this Beast Warrior Skill Stele and seeing the System Notification, he finally understood.
A person could only learn two Beast Warrior Skills at most. Chen Mo felt that it was too little.
This information was not mentioned to him by Dark Night Line or the player he asked.
However, other players would be lucky if they could learn one Beast Warrior Skill. To learn two, who knew how much effort and danger they would have to take. How could they feel that two was too little?
Since he could only learn two, Chen Mo had to be careful. After learning this skill, it could not be deleted.
Giant's Hand might be a good skill for other players because after learning Giant's Hand, those players might be able to insta-kill others.
However, this skill was not something that Chen Mo was interested in.
