The moment the system notifications sounded one after another, Qin Feng and the other two felt like their entire understanding of life had been overturned.
"What the hell! What just happened?"
"Senior Lin Mo, what did you just do? How did you instantly kill so many dungeon monsters?"
"It was... a magic scroll?"
Only now did they realize why Lin Mo had spent so much time wandering around the dungeon without taking action.
At first, Qin Feng and the others thought Lin Mo was choosing targets with fewer monsters.
Because every monster group in the Divine Tomb consisted of a Dark Priest and Black Demons.
There was always one Dark Priest, but the number of Black Demons ranged from five to ten.
Groups with fewer demons were naturally easier to deal with.
Only now did Ling Xiao and the others understand: Lin Mo had never been choosing targets with fewer monsters.
He had been choosing the best location to use the magic scroll.
So what if the Black Demons, combined with the Dark Priest's aura skill, had the ability to inflict control effects whenever they were attacked?
So what if even Lin Mo would find these dungeon monsters troublesome to deal with?
Lin Mo didn't need to touch them at all.
There was no need to hunt the Black Demons batch by batch like the other teams, carefully and cautiously.
One magic scroll was enough to solve everything, SSS-Rank Magic Scroll: Fatal · Spatial Strangulation.
After use, instantly strangles all normal monsters within a 1,000-yard radius whose level does not exceed the user's level by more than five.
Permanent effect: Each use permanently increases final damage against monsters by 1%.
It had to be said, the power of an SSS-rank magic scroll was truly overwhelming.
Every time he used one, Lin Mo was amazed all over again.
After all, his SSS-rank talent, Soul Flame, had unlocked the abilities to incinerate and evolve scrolls.
For this dungeon, Lin Mo had prepared ten SSS-rank magic scrolls in his backpack.
To avoid alerting the other player teams in the dungeon, Lin Mo had specifically chosen Fatal · Spatial Strangulation.
The other SSS-rank magic scrolls were simply too flashy.
For example, the Apocalypse · Myriad Thunderbolts scroll Lin Mo had used before. When activated, it looked like Sikong Zhen using his ultimate and diving straight into battle. [T/N: Sikong Zhen is a character from game: 'Honor of Kings']
If he used that kind of scroll here, the "boss" would probably get scared and leave the dungeon on the spot instead of continuing to trouble Lin Mo.
Only Spatial Strangulation was low-key.
No sound. No light. No exaggerated effects.
It killed monsters without leaving a trace.
If Ling Xiao and the others hadn't personally seen Lin Mo crush the magic scroll, they probably would never have guessed how he had instantly killed so many dungeon monsters.
[Ding~ Loot drops have been automatically collected and placed into the team's temporary storage space. Please remember to claim them after clearing or exiting the dungeon.]
Another system notification appeared.
Lin Mo casually opened the loot storage space.
[Level 1 Treasure Chest (Guaranteed to give 1 gold coin. Also randomly grants a C-rank skill book, a C-rank magic scroll, or tier-3 purple to gold equipment): 55]
[Level 2 Treasure Chest (Guaranteed to give 10 gold coins. Also randomly grants a B-rank skill book, a B-rank magic scroll, or tier-4 purple to gold equipment): 33]
[Level 3 Treasure Chest (Guaranteed to give 100 gold coins. Also randomly grants an A-rank skill book, an A-rank magic scroll, or tier-4 orange to gold equipment): 3]
[Note: Players who clear the dungeon may take 100% of the treasure chests with them. Players who fail to clear the dungeon receive only 10% of the treasure chest rewards...]
"So this is the appeal of a rare hidden dungeon?"
When Xia Wanwan saw the rewards in the loot storage space, her eyes grew wide with delight.
Qin Feng was excited too, "It looks like every batch of dungeon monsters guarantees a treasure chest."
"Based on market prices, even the lowest-level Level 1 Treasure Chest is worth forty or fifty thousand."
"The officials are really generous! A dungeon that doesn't even require an entry ticket and only needs players to meet the rank requirement has rewards this good? Are they trying to bankrupt themselves?"
As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, Ling Xiao said, "Why don't you mention that you have to clear the dungeon to take all the treasure chests out? Otherwise, you lose ninety percent of them."
"For the people who spent money buying rank scrolls to get in, if they can't clear the dungeon, they'll take a huge loss."
"The total number of treasure chests a dungeon can produce is limited," Lin Mo looked at a system panel and said, "Only a very small number of players are destined to get the real rewards."
"Those who come later won't even get the leftovers."
According to the dungeon's real-time treasure chest inventory data shown by the system....
[Remaining Level 1 Treasure Chests: 99.93%]
[Remaining Level 2 Treasure Chests: 99.65%]
[Remaining Level 3 Treasure Chests: 99.6%]
[Remaining Level 4 Treasure Chests: 100%]
[Remaining Level 5 Treasure Chests: 100%]
"Wait!"
Seeing these numbers, Qin Feng said in disbelief, "There are Level 4 and Level 5 Treasure Chests too?"
"Level 3 Treasure Chests already guarantee A-rank skill books and tier-4 orange equipment."
"Don't tell me Level 4 and Level 5 Treasure Chests contain divine equipment or something?"
It had to be said, even Ning Xi was tempted.
"Brother Lin Mo, there's still plenty of time left in the dungeon. Let's not turn in the mission yet. Let's keep farming monsters and get more treasure chests."
That was Lin Mo's plan as well.
Although the dungeon mission was already complete, the total time limit was 120 minutes, and only ten minutes had passed so far.
They could continue farming more treasure chests with the remaining time.
Besides that, Lin Mo still hadn't found the Seventh Princess of the God Race royal family, Siya.
He still needed to find her and obtain the Royal Blood from her in order to remove Zhao Ling'er's SSS-rank talent seal.
And there was also the "boss."
Lin Mo naturally had no intention of leaving the dungeon this early.
However, before continuing through the dungeon, there was one thing he needed to do.
Lin Mo walked over to a group of Black Demon corpses that had just been killed by the Spatial Strangulation scroll.
He stopped in front of the lone Dark Priest.
Looking at the Dark Priest, who remained standing even after death, at this moment, thinking about what was about to happen, Lin Mo couldn't help feeling excited.
To enter the Divine Tomb, to capture a priest and evolve Divine Descent · Seraph, Lin Mo had been waiting a long time for this day.
He opened his backpack.
Taking out the SSS-rank magic scroll Guaranteed Hit · Hand of God, Lin Mo crushed it without hesitation.
The moment the scroll shattered, the Dark Priest before him turned into streams of starlight and disappeared.
At the same time, the notification Lin Mo had been waiting to hear for so long finally rang in his ears.
[Ding~ You have used the SSS-rank magic scroll Guaranteed Hit · Hand of God. Congratulations! You have obtained the Epic pet · Angel!]
