Chen Mo landed steadily on the opposite branch passage.
The three Golden Phoenixes were stunned. When Chen Mo said that he could cross, they didn't really believe him. However, they followed Chen Mo's instructions. After receiving Chen Mo's command, they triggered a basic trap that Chen Mo had set up beforehand. In the end, Chen Mo successfully jumped over.
"I'm coming!"
Chen Mo was in a good mood. The Chain Trap skill was more useful than he had imagined. This skill, if used well, could produce many unexpected effects.
Just now, he had used the Chain Trap skill to make the shock trap explode behind him, thus pushing him over.
Beside the not wide grayish-brown branch passage, there was a winch wheel. Chen Mo walked over and turned the wheel. The branch passage above his head that was more than ten meters high descended.
Boom!
The passage descended and the fault disappeared. The three Golden Phoenixes ran over excitedly.
On the other side of the fault, no one had been able to cross until now. They were the first batch of players to arrive here!
After the three of them came over, Chen Mo wanted to turn the winch wheel to re-form the fault and prevent other players from coming over. However, he found that the wheel was abnormally heavy. He used all his strength but the wheel still didn't move. He knew that once the passage was lowered, it would not be able to rise back up.
"Do you still have the potion for the second jump? Sell me some!"
The Golden Phoenixes knew that the Red-Eyed Rabbit Potion was good stuff. They also wanted to get some in case of emergency.
"It's still very difficult to get it now. I only have one bottle. We'll talk about it later."
Chen Mo shook his head. Monster blood was too difficult to obtain. There were still very few players with the beginner Gather skill. Even if they did, only one blood drop out of hundreds of monsters would be found. It was difficult to buy it.
Even so, every time he killed a monster, Chen Mo would still use the Gather skill to collect the monster's corpse.
Since he had learned Blood Refining, he had to train the Gather skill. Otherwise, if he encountered a rare monster in the future, he wouldn't be able to try his luck and collect some blood.
Moreover, he still had the special equipment "Seed of Hope" on him!
As long as he used less of the Seed of Hope's skills and continued to accumulate energy, he would use up all of his energy to increase his Luck. When he encountered the corpses of Rare monsters, his chances of collecting their blood would greatly increase!
Chen Mo looked at the Seed of Hope's energy value. He had killed some flower demons and apes in the past two days, but his energy value was only slightly more than 100 points.
He had made some observations and found that there was no pattern to the gain of energy points. Sometimes, he would gain 1 energy point from killing a monster, but sometimes, he would not gain 1 point even after killing more than 10 monsters.
Chen Mo guessed that this had something to do with the fact that he was in a party. When he had the time, he would have to kill a monster alone to test it out.
"The monsters are different now."
The maze of giant trees was shrouded in white fog. On the other side of the fault, the fog seemed to be thicker. The four of them moved forward carefully and soon encountered monsters.
It was still an ape, but the ape in front of him had black fur, while the ape in front of him had white fur.
"Its Defense is so high. Its Attributes are much higher than the Black Ape's, but it's still a Level 13 monster."
Chen Mo used Detect and found that the white ape was still a Level 13 monster. However, it was much stronger than the Black Ape, which was also Level 13.
Whether it was Attack or Defense, the white ape could take on two or three Black Apes.
The white ape was very strong, but Chen Mo and the Golden Phoenix's party were not afraid even if they faced a Level 14 monster, let alone a Level 13 monster.
After spending some time, the white ape was killed by the four of them. The four of them then found that the white apes were indeed strong, but there were much fewer of them than the Black Apes. They often had to walk for more than 10 meters before they encountered one or two white apes.
As they were looking for Elia, the four of them would take a different path when they came across a fork. They did not advance very quickly, but the amount of Cursed Blood was increasing. Chen Mo guessed that they might really be able to break the seal and release the Regional Elites.
About half an hour after Chen Mo and the others crossed the fault in the labyrinth, a party of players came to the original fault.
This party of players had the same guild emblem on their chests. They were all from Four Seas Guild.
Four Seas Guild's party was shocked when they saw that a passage had appeared on the fault. A trace of panic appeared on their leader's face.
"Leader, there's a change in the situation. We have to report it to the boss!" another person in the party said hurriedly.
"Don't panic. The passage has not been opened until six in the evening. It won't take long for the people in front to pass through. After we report the situation, we will chase after them!" The leader forced himself to calm down.
…
"What?"
In another undeveloped area of the City of Shadows, a middle-aged male Cleric called Four Seas Is Home received the news. His face darkened.
There were many male Clerics in the game, but those who knew about Four Seas Guild knew that this unknown guild was very strong. Moreover, their guild leader was a rare Cleric.
Among the established guilds in the City of Shadows, there were all kinds of guild leaders. However, there was only one Cleric guild leader.
"Let's go!
Return to the city immediately! "Four Seas Is Home waved his hand and led the way towards the Great Tree Labyrinth.
…
"Boss!
Boss Qingshan, we just received news that Four Seas Guild has made a move!
Previously, we heard that they were preparing to do something sneakily in the Great Tree Labyrinth. Now, it seems that something unexpected has happened. Four Seas Guild is rushing over! "
In another part of the wilderness, a player dashed in front of a warrior. This warrior was Mount Daqing whom Chen Mo had met once in the Beginner's Village.
In just half a month's time, Mount Daqing was no longer a newbie who knew nothing. He had come to the City of Shadows and even established his own guild. However, for some reason, he had formed a grudge with Four Seas Guild.
"Haha, Four Seas Guild!
How dare you offend me, Mount Daqing. I'll show you how powerful I am! "Mount Daqing's eyes lit up when he received the news. He rubbed his palms together.
"Let's go, let's ambush Four Seas Guild!
Don't be afraid. There are rewards for killing and there are rewards for dying! "
"Yes!
Boss Qingshan! "
Daqing Shan waved his hand, and the group of underlings below him replied loudly. Their auras were extraordinary, and they were extremely enthusiastic about the matter of ambushing Four Seas Guild.
…
"The monsters here have mutated?
Why would there be such strange monsters? "
In the higher levels of the Great Tree Labyrinth, Chen Mo and the other three were still advancing. They had encountered a new situation.
The monsters that had appeared were no longer white apes. Instead, they had become two-headed, three-armed, or four-legged apes.
The monsters were still apes, but they were oddly shaped. The strength of the monsters was also much stronger than the white apes.
"The monsters have become Level 12, but their strength is comparable to Level 14!"
Chen Mo used Detection on a few of these strange monsters. When he saw the data, he couldn't help but be shocked.
This was very abnormal. The four of them could faintly feel that there was something strange about this Great Tree Labyrinth!
…
The first one was even worse.
