Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!
The 1,500 players of Dragon Soul Guild quickly spread out, forming a huge encirclement and completely surrounding the entire Black Mine map.
At the same time, as Lin Mo and Ning Xi stepped into the mine.
Inside the mine, they saw three people who seemed to have been waiting in a safe spot for quite a while: Ling Xiao, Xia Wanwan, and Skinny Monkey.
It turned out that before Lin Mo set off for the Black Mine, he had already sent Ling Xiao and the others a message to gather.
If he wanted all-around development, Lin Mo had to maximize the benefits.
Right now, the first-tier players in Blazing Ember City had already reached level 28.
So Lin Mo had to quickly bring Ling Xiao and the others up to level 30 and secure the ranking rewards in the second round of the leveling rush event.
As for why Fat Dahai wasn't here.
Because the team slots were limited. There was no way around it. To maximize benefits, one person had to be left out.
At this moment, Ling Xiao hurriedly said, "Wang Junjie is about to bring people to surround this place. I'll send him a message, say I accidentally found a treasure out in the wild and lure him away."
"Once he brings his people over there, I'll say I saw it wrong! Buy you some time!"
It was clear that Ling Xiao truly wanted to help Lin Mo.
But Lin Mo shook his head, "Wang Junjie may not have much brains, but that doesn't mean everyone in the Chaotic World Guild is brainless."
"You can't expose yourself. I'll still need you later if I want to deal with Wang Junjie."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded, "Alright."
"Quick battle."
As he spoke, Lin Mo created a team and pulled the four of them into it.
Facing the shadow monsters everywhere inside the mine ahead, he activated his SSS-level Eye of Insight.
Whoosh!
A golden light flashed in his pupils.
The next second, the monster's information was shared in the team channel—
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Dark Predator] (Physical Type · Normal Monster)
— Level: 38
— Physical Attack: 3320
— Physical Defense: 1840
— Magic Defense: 1600
— HP: 21000
— Skills: Assassinate (E-rank), Shadow Strike (E-rank)
[Weakness: Dark Predators keep company with darkness. Once exposed to light, all attributes decrease by 10%.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Seeing the Dark Predator's stats, Ling Xiao, Xia Wanwan, and Skinny Monkey were all stunned.
"Holy crap! Over 3000 attack power! This level 38 monster is insane! Feels like it could one-shot me!"
"What… what's this weakness thing?"
"Senior Lin Mo, why is your scouting skill different from ours? How can yours even see the monster's weakness?"
Ling Xiao's eyes burned with excitement, "According to the official guide, only when Scouting reaches a certain level will it gain the effect of seeing monster weaknesses."
Xia Wanwan asked, "What level does it have to reach for that effect?"
Ling Xiao replied, "SSS-rank. Eye of Insight!"
The moment those words came out, Xia Wanwan and Skinny Monkey both sucked in a sharp breath.
"First an S-rank ultimate, now an SSS Eye of Insight… what kind of monster is this guy?"
"Are we even playing the same game?"
While the three were still in shock, Lin Mo and Ning Xi had already swiftly entered combat.
Locking onto three Dark Predators gathered together ahead, Lin Mo made the first move.
Ice Snow · Grip of Extreme Frost!
Annihilation · Storm Arrow Rain!
An SSS skill plus an ultimate right from the start.
Crash!
In an instant, the world froze over and arrows poured down like rain.
-8961 (Critical)!
-9555 (Critical)!
-9555 (Critical)!
-9555 (Critical)!
Facing level 38 monsters with over 1800 defense, Lin Mo's damage had clearly dropped from five digits to four digits.
Even so, the two-skill combo still successfully wiped out the three Dark Predators in seconds.
But Lin Mo felt a bit powerless.
'One SSS-level Grip of Extreme Frost, and even with a crit, it's not even ten thousand damage?'
"Sigh! Looks like I'm still too trash!"
Behind him, after hearing Lin Mo say that, Ling Xiao, Xia Wanwan, and Skinny Monkey stared at the three level 38 Predator corpses lying on the ground ahead and trembled, not daring to say a word.
However, the experience from these level 38 monsters was quite high.
With five people in a team, each got 50% experience.
Lin Mo landed the final blow, giving an extra 30%, plus the 10% bonus from his purple title Leveling Maniac, and a 20% bonus for killing monsters five levels higher.
The three Dark Predators provided Lin Mo with a total of 59,400 experience points.
His experience bar suddenly shot up by a whole… 0.5 percent.
At the same time, Ning Xi also launched attacks at two Dark Predators rushing over from the other side.
Boom!
Boom!
With a light wave of her staff.
A C-rank Fireball and a D-rank Ice Spike landed on the two Predators respectively.
The next second, blood-red damage numbers popped up above their heads—
-29452!
-25427!
[Ding~ Your teammate Liuli has killed a level 38 Dark Predator. You gained 14400 experience points!]
[Ding~ Your teammate Liuli has killed a level 38 Dark Predator. You gained 14400 experience points!]
"Holy shit!"
Skinny Monkey and the others' eyes went wide, disbelief written all over their faces.
Even Lin Mo couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
'I didn't expect a full set of second-tier gold-quality Venom Set to boost Ning Xi's damage to such a terrifying level.'
'And her skills are only C-rank and D-rank. If they were all SSS-rank like mine… that would be absolutely terrifying.'
After the shock came excitement.
Seeing that Ning Xi's current strength had reached the terrifying point where she could one-shot a level 38 monster with a single skill.
Lin Mo said in relief, "Looks like all the early investment was worth it."
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
One by one, Ning Xi's magic orbs slammed into the Dark Predators approaching from all around.
Even her normal attacks, after being amplified ten times by her SSS-level talent Supreme Nine-Five, could easily deal nearly 20,000 terrifying damage.
And that wasn't even a critical hit.
With only 21,000 HP, a Dark Predator's health would drop to the brink after just one of Ning Xi's normal attacks.
Another hit, and it died on the spot.
If a crit triggered, then a single normal attack was enough to instantly kill one Predator.
You had to know, even Lin Mo, when all his skills were on cooldown, needed four to five normal shots to kill one Predator.
At this moment, in front of this woman who had once been the number one female emperor of the Dragon Nation server in his previous life, Lin Mo felt that he, the current number one on the Heavenly Ranking, was simply weak beyond belief.
In a team, kills made by teammates also counted toward Lin Mo's quest progress.
So under Ning Xi's wild slaughter, Lin Mo's quest progress bar rapidly increased.
Lin Mo snapped back to his senses.
He also went all out, hunting Predators at the fastest speed possible.
———
At the same time, outside the Black Mine—
While the thousand Dragon Soul players stood guard around the mine, escorting Lin Mo alone as he carried out his quest.
In the distance, a massive group of players was surging toward them.
Su Muqiu's brows tightened.
He shouted, "The Chaotic World people are here!"
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
