Chapter 95
Zhuye Zuijiu was the president. Once he lost his temper, no one else dared to speak and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Hongchen was very calm. He looked at Zhuye drunkenly and asked: "Did she look for you?"
Zhuye opened his mouth drunk and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when he thought about how intense his reaction just now was, it would be difficult to explain if he changed his words and said no. Finally, his face paused and he had to admit it guiltily.
“…It’s her.”
Xiao Hongchen pretended not to notice Zhuye Zuijiu's little antics and continued to ask, "What does she want you to do?"
Zhuye Zuijiu looked around and lowered his voice: "...Apologize, publicly."
Xiao Hongchen stared at the tentative heir of the Zhu family, his expression remaining calm. "So, what do you think?"
"What else can I think?!" Zhuye Zuijiu's eyes immediately bulged like lightbulbs, "I'm definitely going to ignore her! If I apologize, the old man will know what I did the next day!"
"So you plan to keep hiding it?"
Zhuye Zuijiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't answer his question, but stared at Xiao Hongchen strangely: "Why are you talking to me in that tone?"
Xiao Hongchen looked away: "Nothing, just asking about your plans."
Xiao Hongchen's attitude towards him has been a little subtle recently. Although Zhuye Zuijiu didn't say specifically, he always felt that the other party seemed to have other ideas.
Thinking back to the day during the guild war, when he had refuted me directly, which had nearly destroyed my dignity as the guild leader, and then thinking that I was still the heir of the Zhu family after all, and that no matter how powerful the other party was, he was just a servant beside the old man, my face suddenly turned unhappy, and my tone deliberately became a little tough: "Just ask if you want to, don't act like I'm shameful!"
After a two-second pause, he added, "Don't forget, I'm still the old man's chosen heir. If you dare to have other thoughts, be careful that you won't have a good life in the future."
After saying that, he took his men and continued digging for treasure chests.
As for Xia Mo, she didn't wait for Zhuye Zuijiu's further response, but instead waited for the movement in the fishing net.
Hooked!
Xia Mo was delighted and temporarily put aside the thought of apologizing and quickly pulled the fishing net back.
Inside the small net, several black catfish were struggling back and forth.
When Xia Mo found that there were no porto fish, his mood, which had just been lifted, instantly dropped. He knew that the cunning porto fish would not be so easily caught.
I had no choice but to put the catfish back into my backpack, planning to sell the fish to the fisherman NPC by the lake after the boat docked. As for the fishing net, I just continued to cast it down.
I tried this several times, but failed each time.
Even Xia Mo, who prided himself on being very patient, had the urge to blow up the lake.
We can’t waste it like this anymore. Xia Mo thought about it and simply rowed the boat to a small island in the middle of the lake, fixed it, spread the fishing net, and then went up to the island and left.
She estimated that portobello fish would not appear where there were human voices, so she had to leave temporarily, do other tasks, and come back after a while to see if there was any target caught in the fishing net.
[Area Map: Xiaozhong Island]
When she stepped onto land, the system prompted her to enter a new map.
Xiaozhong Island is an island in the center of the lake. It is very small and one can circle the island in less than an hour. Xia Mo had the impression that this island had few resources, so she did not come here for the monsters on the island, but was simply passing by.
She walked straight through Xiaozhong Island and then through a small path on the back of the island, and soon she arrived at the new map - Dazhong Island.
The difference between the two islands can be seen from their names.
Xia Mo picked up his weapon and walked into the jungle, ready to practice on the monsters here and see how the newly unlocked White Tiger Star Officer skills worked.
However, before he could switch, voices seemed to be coming from somewhere in the jungle.
Someone.
Xia Mo immediately lowered his pace and breathing and walked around from the side.
"Have you found the treasure chest? It's been so long, why haven't you found it yet?"
"That's not right. According to the information, the treasure chest is indeed in the temple..."
"So you haven't found it in there yet? Forget it, stop talking nonsense and keep looking."
Xia Mo hid behind a banyan tree and quietly poked out half of his head.
It turned out to be them.
After seeing the group of people at the temple door clearly, Xia Mo smiled and thanked God for finally opening his eyes to her.
She didn't want to pursue the matter of Tongluo Shao's quitting the association and selling the dungeon strategy.
After all, the words came from the mouths of Qingyao's own people, and no one put a knife to their necks and forced them to tell the strategy.
But the problem is that when Ye Buyu told the Dorayaki strategy, everyone was in the same guild, so it was assumed that everyone was on the same front.
But after he was kicked out of the guild, he was first bribed by Zhuye Zuijiu to post a post to discredit Qingyao Zhishang, and then sold the strategy guide, causing Qingyao Zhishang to miss the opportunity to pass the Tomb City.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Dorayaki is not very decent.
Since it was not kind, and she ran into it here, Xia Mo felt that there was no reason for her to just stand by and watch.
The slightly dilapidated temple was just ahead. Taking advantage of the stones scattered around the temple as cover, Xia Mo activated [Ice-Cold Blood] to accelerate, quickly rushed to the back of the temple, and climbed onto the eaves of the temple using his hands and feet.
During this time, a breeze blew in the jungle, rustling the leaves in the trees. Dorayaki and others did not find her and were still searching for her inside and outside the temple.
There were several large holes on the eaves of the temple. Xia Mo spotted one of them, squeezed in, and easily slipped in from the outside.
Temples dedicated to gods are usually built very solidly, and even if they are later abandoned, their main buildings still stand.
At this time, Xia Mo was crouching on two intersecting marble beams in the main building.
The beam was very wide and could completely block her figure.
Xia Mo continued to hold his breath and silently observed them from above.
After Tongluo Shao was kicked out of Qingyaozhishang, he joined a new guild. This new guild was none other than Zonghengsihai, where he sold strategy guides. It was also the guild that was collectively poisoned by the poisonous scorpion she brought with her at the gate of Muxue City not long ago.
At this moment, the president of Zongheng Sihai was commanding at the door of the temple. Xia Mo took a quick look and saw that he brought about 20 people.
It seems to be a very rich treasure chest, otherwise so many people would not be mobilized.
Xia Mo had an idea in mind and continued to wait with bated breath.
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from below: "Si Hai! We found it!!!"
"Found it? Where is it?"
Hearing the report, Sihai, who had been frowning in displeasure just now, suddenly had lights in his eyes and walked quickly towards the speaker.
Xia Mo also stared closely in the direction of the speaker.
The speaker stepped aside, and a large box gleaming with dazzling golden light rose from the recessed stone slab.
Gold treasure chest?!
Xia Mo's eyes widened instantly!
No wonder so many people were mobilized from all over the world, it turned out to be a gold-level treasure chest!
The treasure chests in "Protoss" are similar to the equipment levels, and are divided into 5 levels: ordinary, bronze, black iron, silver, and gold.
Among them, the golden treasure chest has the highest value. Generally, the things opened from it are equivalent to the next difficult copy. Whoever picks it up will become rich.
But the golden treasure chest is very difficult to find, and usually you need clues to find the direction.
For example, the golden treasure chest currently located in the ruined temple on Dazhong Island, it was obvious that Zonghengsihai and his men had the information in their hands and knew for sure that it was there, so they went to great lengths to dig it up.
Xia Mo couldn't help but click his tongue, and his squatting body shook because he felt itchy in his heart.
"who?!"
An assassin inside Zongheng Sihai sensed danger and raised his head quickly!
When the others heard this, their faces changed and they raised their weapons.
Xia Mo knew that she could no longer hide, so she simply jumped from the beam. When she jumped down, she threw a comet storm down!
Critical hit! A swarm of comets descended, instantly snatching away the three fragile ranged units below her. They transformed into three beams of light and vanished from their original positions.
There are 18 of them in total, including melee and ranged support. Logically, there is no need to be afraid of being ambushed by a lone player.
However, when Xia Mo landed, everyone's breathing stopped when they saw the ID on her head.
Dorayaki naturally saw who was coming. Perhaps because he felt guilty, he immediately moved away after meeting her calm gaze.
The atmosphere was subtle for a moment, and then it was broken by countless skills.
Zongheng Sihai is the ninth-ranked guild after all, and its overall quality is much better than Qingyaozhishang. Without Sihai's orders, they ran in a well-trained manner, ready to encircle her.
There were five high-defense meat shields closest to her. Xia Mo was considering whether to switch to a hidden profession and use a special move to break their defense, but at this moment, a loud rumbling sound came from near the treasure chest!
Several people standing near the treasure chest were blown over and died on the spot. The people who traveled around were frightened and turned back to see what happened.
This glance immediately gave Xia Mo the opportunity to fight back.
She decided not to switch careers first, but to throw out Starlight and Star Destruction in turn!
freeze!
Xingmie's freezing effect took effect, and all the melee fighters surrounding Xia Mo were frozen.
Right now, boom!
The Comet Storm, whose CD has ended, falls again. Combined with other skills, it's a critical hit! A critical hit! And another critical hit!
Even though they knew that the profession of Star Officials was violent output and they were very good at group attacks, they had never seen a Star Official as fierce as her, who could deliver a critical hit almost every other move.
No matter how high the defense is, it cannot withstand such bombardment.
When the 3-second freeze time was up, several melee fighters in the inner circle fell down again.
The people who were traveling around the world were a little panicked. There was a loophole in the encirclement formation. Xia Mo opened his cold blood, accelerated his feet, rushed out of the loophole and headed straight for the treasure chest.
"Oh no, she's gone!"
"Stop her, stop her quickly!"
People from all over the world hurriedly chased after him, but they were so busy chasing that they forgot why the explosion happened.
Boom, boom, boom.
Another explosion, even louder than the previous one, sounded.
After the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated a little, everyone finally saw clearly what it was.
A skeleton monster that was half a body taller than them!
The skeleton monster wears a helmet and armor, and holds a sword in his hand. It is obviously the monster responsible for guarding the treasure chest.
Just now, the golden treasure chest was found by someone who traveled all over the world, activating the skeleton monster. Now the skeleton monster was shaking its clanging skeleton and swinging its sword at the players in the temple.
The skeleton monster had long arms, and with one swing of its sword, it immediately killed several nearby meat shields.
There were people shouting inside Zonghengsihai.
"Nurse! My potion is on cooldown, heal me quickly!"
"Warlock, give me an invincible spell, I'll go up and hold it back!"
"Remote, remote, quickly blow up the monster!"
The appearance of the skeleton monster completely disrupted Zongheng Sihai's plan. Because they were busy dealing with the monster, they really couldn't spare the energy to intercept Xia Mo.
Xia Mo successfully opened the treasure chest right under everyone's eyes.
At the bottom of the box covered with velvet cloth, there lies a robe that can be worn by a level 30 magic profession, which is of first-grade gold quality, and a weapon for a physical profession, which is of even higher quality, second-grade gold!
It was a pity that Xia Mo could only look at them but not use them. She felt a little regretful. She accepted both pieces of equipment and then picked up the gold coins and skill scrolls inside.
The gold coin is a model, not a real currency, but as long as you select [Exchange], the model gold coin will be automatically exchanged for the actual amount of money - 5,000 gold!
so much? !
Xia Mo was stunned by this number!
If 5,000 gold is converted into real money, it will cover her living expenses for a whole year.
She was so happy that she quickly flipped through the skill scroll.
After unfolding the scroll and seeing the applicable profession written as [Star Official], she was so ecstatic that she almost screamed!
Since graduating from level 10, professional mentors rarely give skills to players. If players want to develop new moves, they can either rely on skill scrolls, non-professional skill blueprints, or talent scrolls which are even more difficult to obtain.
As everyone knows, her luck is very bad most of the time. Since her rebirth, Xia Mo has never seen a skill scroll for her profession.
Now that he had finally gotten a book, Xia Mo chose to study it without thinking!
【Successfully learn skills [scattered]】
[Starry Sky: Consumes (Level + 10) * 4 mana points, deals magic damage to targets within a 6-meter radius, and has a 30% chance to reduce the target's speed to half. The effect lasts for 3 seconds. Chanting time is 1.5 seconds, and the freezing time is 8 seconds (with cooldown compression, the freezing time is reduced to 6.8 seconds)]
This is a group attack skill like Comet Storm, but the difference is that Comet Storm is a non-professional skill. As long as there is a skill blueprint, all magic professions can learn it, while [Starry Sky] is a professional skill. Only star official players meet the learning requirements.
In addition, Comet Storm only has a group attack effect, while Starry Sky also has a slowing effect!
If combined with Star Extinction that comes with freezing, well, as long as her luck in triggering the special effect is not too bad, she will be basically invincible as long as she stands there, whether in a team battle or killing monsters.
Of course this is only theoretical.
Don't forget how much mana the Star Officer's skills consume.
Now, she needs to consume (28+8)*3=108 magic points to release Star Destruction once, and a fixed consumption of 150 magic points to release Comet Storm. And it will cost (28+10)*4=152 magic points to release Starry Sky.
Basically, each skill starts with 100 magic points. If the person playing the Star Officer does not have a thick enough blue bar and blue medicine to support it, no matter how amazing the skills are, he can only watch helplessly.
Anyway, it's all about getting the skills! You can improve the blue bar later.
In just a few seconds, the golden treasure chest was emptied.
Sihai was so angry that he almost vomited blood because of the skeleton monster!
A gold-level treasure chest! They had searched so many places and asked so many NPCs, and finally found the treasure chest, and now it was snatched away right under his nose!
Sihai was so angry that he immediately led a group of people to withdraw from the melee with the skeleton monster, walked around from the side, and prepared to kill her!
Xia Mo quickly released his semen to temporarily help her, while she opened her cold blood vessels, ready to climb out of the hole she came from and flip out from the eaves.
Bang bang, an accident happened suddenly.
The front and back entrances of the temple were suddenly surrounded by skeleton monsters that crawled out from the ground. They were only slightly smaller than the ones holding swords, but even so, the scene was indeed a bit scary seeing a dense pile of white skeletons shaking in front of them.
They rushed into the hall in unison, some holding shields and some holding arrows, and killed most of the people who were traveling around.
The people who traveled all over the world were of high level. Xia Mo estimated that the people he brought were at least level 24 or 25.
But when facing the skeleton monsters that were just a pile of bones, their people died after just a few resistances. Xia Mo couldn't help but be shocked. It seemed that this group of skeleton monsters were not easy to deal with.
She was alone now and was not foolish enough to challenge a group of monsters that were much stronger than herself. She immediately gathered her strength, kicked her feet against the wall pillar, and planned to escape as soon as possible.
But at this moment, an arrow hit her from the back of the head!
Xia Mo nimbly turned his head and just avoided it.
Just as she was about to continue climbing out of the cave, a dense barrage of arrows suddenly attacked her!
In order to avoid the attack, she had to give up climbing the cave entrance and temporarily run on the beam instead.
As she ran forward, the arrows in the skeleton monster's hands followed behind her, and the big skeleton monster chased after her, cutting the beam with one sword after another!
My goodness, it seems like the entire temple is going to be demolished.
Xia Mo was speechless and quickly jumped down from the temple before it collapsed!
She didn't jump down directly, but stepped on the big skeleton monster's shoulder blade, stepped forward, did a somersault, and landed smoothly.
After landing, she quickly drank a bottle of purple medicine and rushed to the door while dodging the little skeleton monster!
Just as the exit was within reach, I heard the sound of stone pillars cracking above my head.
Oh no, the temple is about to be destroyed!
Xia Mo's heart tightened, and another layer of cold blood rushed out!
However, just as her right foot stepped out of the threshold, her left foot, which was still inside the hall, suddenly stepped on empty air. Xia Mo felt her body fall backwards, and she didn't have time to grab anything with her hands. As far as she could see, she saw herself, the beams, the walls... and the bodies of the players who had not chosen to be resurrected in Zonghengsihai, all sliding down through the cracks in the ground!
