Bang!
The poison erupted, and the obscene damage killed two dozen Merfolk on the spot.
Li Mo massacred his way through the scattered Merfolk.
Their combined attack did nothing to Li Mo. No one was dumb enough to stay, knowing they couldn’t even scratch him.
“Truly powerful…”
Li Mo held the dripping short blade, looking at the Merfolk lying on the ground in pieces and sighed.
He wasn’t sighing over his prowess, but over the absurdity of the level 10 gift. He just got 100 stat points out of that slaughter.
He got more stats than if he were to grind monsters a whole day.
Without a limit, the numbers could reach insane values…
Sss~
A viper was coming at Li Mo, bearing its fangs.
Li Mo’s health bar didn’t even budge. It bit him a dozen times, yet never once was he poisoned.
“Eh?”
Li Mo went to a viper infested area and stood around as a dozen vipers attacked. After a minute, there was not a scratch on him.
‘I’m immune to poison without Ji’s help?’
Li Mo was stunned.
He wracked his brain about it and came to the only plausible conclusion. The level 10 gift was behind it.
Ye Li and Ji came out of the cave and looted the Merfolk.
They got a dozen golden gears and 30 blue sets.
The Merfolk also had around 1000 star coins.
Star coin was the main currency in this world. 1000 star coins would be around 100,000 RMB on Earth.
Ji said, “These guys aren’t much to look at, but they are players from the Dipper Galaxy. We will have to be even more careful in Holy City.”
Li Mo nodded and killed the vipers around.
Hum~
Li Mo flashed white and he leveled up.
He was now level 30!
Ding!
[Your innate experience has reached a limit. Do you wish to use it and unlock new innate skills?]
Li Mo received a new message just as he leveled up.
‘Unlock!’
Li Mo had no hesitation.
[You can activate Eye of Truth or Find Weakness.]
Eye of Truth allowed him to see the target’s status and Find Weakness spotted the weak spots in the target. Hitting them would deal 2-5 times more damage.
[Please chose!]
‘One out of two?’
Li Mo pondered and picked Eye of Truth.
Find Weakness’s effect was overpowered, but Li Mo didn’t lack attack power. He found Eye of Truth a much better option.
[Congratulations on learning the Eye of Truth!]
Li Mo’s eyes flashed prismatically for three seconds.
Glancing over at Ye Li and Ji, his view was filled with information.
Normally, Ji and Ye Li only had their names above them, while with the Eye of Truth activated, their level, stats, gear and skills were all laid bare.
[Name: Ye Li, level 27, Poor stats. Class: warrior. Gift: Recovery. Gear: … ]
[Name: Ji, level 39. Severely poor stats. Class: light priest. Gift: Abnormal Status Immunity. Gear: …]
Li Mo could see anything he wanted.
‘The Eye of Truth is truly marvelous!’
A darn shame he couldn’t use it on himself, or he’d finally get a good look at that level 10 gift of his.
Ji shuddered, “You guys’ level had reached outrageous values in just a few days…”
Ye Li asked, “Isn’t this the average level up speed?”
“Of course not!” Ji shook his head, “I may suck at it, but in the three hundred years I hunted, only thanks to my gift and hard work had I managed to reach a maximum level of 45 at some point. But that took me 200 years!
“You’re here for a few days yet you’re almost level 30? That’s unheard of!”
Ye Li said, “Yeah, now that you mention it, I feel the same. When I leveled before, it was never that fast…”
“I have to say that I’m very close to level 40. This experience I gained so far is ten times faster than when I went alone…”
“It’s likely my gift to blame.”
Li Mo didn’t understood what was happening, but this was in no way normal. Thinking about it, only his unknown level 10 gift could be responsible.
Li Mo said, “Let’s just stay here and keep leveling for now.”
Many Merfolk escaped and going back to Holy City now would be a poor decision. Li Mo found it a better choice to stay in Viper Mountains and keep on getting stronger. Till Dipper Galaxy could do nothing to him.
The level 10 gift could boost him and his comrades’ experience gain. With a bit of effort in their grinding, they’d surpass those high leveled players in no time.
Ji said, “If we are to continue leveling, it’s best we change locations.”
Ji was ridiculously weak, but he had three hundred years worth of experience. Ye Li and Li Mo had nothing on him when it came to knowledge of this world.
“Passing through Viper Mountains, we’ll soon reach a huge maze in a place called Ancient Battlefield. We won’t have to worry about anyone finding us there because each party will explore it in a different space.”
“An instance.” Li Mo and Ye Li said at the same time.
Ji asked, “What’s that?”
“Nothing, keep going.”
“They say that defeating the huge maze you earn the hero’s proof. With it you can go to Hero City Raftel and recruit a hero.”
Ji said, “Heroes are the strongest people in this world, second to none.
“Why are the five galaxies called the strongest? Because besides high level gifts, they all have at least one hero!
“It is uncertain if we can conquer the huge maze, but it is the best bet to level ourselves. Because the monsters there will grow in level along with the players. A level 20 player will meet a level 30 monster at most, a level 30 will meet a level 40, and so on. It doesn’t seem to have a limit.”
“With some luck, we could even get a hero. Does that mean we’ll become a galaxy’s boss?” Ye Li’s mind ran wild.
“A hero isn’t that easy to get…”
Ji said, “I have no idea how old this world is but the number of times the huge maze was finished is less than ten.”
Li Mo said, “Let’s go!”
The trio, filled with the Merfolk’s loot, followed Ji’s directions towards the Ancient Battlefield.
