While Yan Yingyue’s hesitation wasn’t misplaced, and those people did indeed have such intentions, the situation had changed. They had killed the SS level Flying-type BOSS, known to be difficult to defeat, in an incredibly short time, and no one was interested in them anymore. This included not only the two strongest organizations in the dungeon but also those who partook in inglorious deeds behind the scenes. Everyone knew that the combination of Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue possessed formidable strength and shouldn’t be provoked!
The death of the S-level Special BOSS hadn’t earned them respect. However, the quick demise of the SS level Flying-type Special BOSS shocked the hearts of everyone in the dungeon. At that moment, they were regarded as the strongest in the dungeon by everyone else! After all, no squad dared to claim they could kill the SS level Flying-type Special BOSS. They couldn’t even manage the kill, let alone do it in a short amount of time. From this, they could judge how vast the gap between themselves and Chen Mo’s duo was. So naturally, no one dared to provoke them anymore. Even Meng Han didn’t dare send his congratulations at this point, afraid he might be aiming too high.
As Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue returned to the third-stage region to search, the final few hours of the day quickly passed. When The Heavenly Path’s Hint chimed in, Chen Mo promptly checked the leaderboard for the number of survivors left. By the end of the day, only 85 people remained.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The second day’s task has ended, tallying the completion status.]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The number of people who failed to reach the standard for the second day’s task is 0! The number of those who achieved double the standard is 48, those who achieved five times the standard is 0, and two people managed to achieve ten times the standard.]
Today, everyone had still managed to achieve the standard task. In fact, more than half of the people achieved double the standard. Everyone had performed well. However, as the task for the third day was announced, everyone knew that a situation where everyone met the standard would no longer occur.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Based on the performance in the second-day rankings, the top ten in all leaderboards will receive a survival time bonus. First place will get 10 days, second place 5 days, third place 3 days, and fourth to tenth place will get a one-day bonus.]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: As you are first in the daily task list, Special BOSS list, and survival time list, congratulations! You have received a 30-day reward, and your current survival time is 120 (+40%) days.]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The active area will change in 1 hour. Please enter the newly opened third-stage region. Those still remaining in the second-stage region after 1 hour will be kicked out of this dungeon! Monsters in the third-stage region have a level 10 S-level difficulty.]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The mission for day three has now been announced!]
[Mission requirement: Please kill 100 flash elements within one day. (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder) are all acceptable. Flash elements will be randomly deployed in various regions. Each hour, a limit of 100 will be deployed, with at least 50 being deployed in the third-stage region. The position of the deployed flash elements can be checked by everyone via the light points on the map. The deployment quantity in the next hour will be double the total amount killed in the previous hour.]
[If you can achieve twice the mission requirement, you will receive a one-day survival time reward; five times will get three days, and ten times will get five days!]
[The person who first achieves ten times the requirement each day can gain an extra ’hidden reward’.]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The first batch of flash elements will arrive in 10 seconds. Please be ready to seize the opportunity.]
It’s only the third day, and such competitive missions are already appearing. I fear the coming days will be grueling for our classmates. After learning of the mission objectives, Yan Yingyue was secretly grateful that she had sought out Chen Mo from the start. Otherwise, with his strength, he could have easily completed it solo. He’s only taking me along now out of consideration for our friendship as classmates.
As the 10-second countdown finished, Chen Mo immediately checked the map. As expected, over fifty light points appeared in the third-stage area, while the remaining ones were in the fourth-stage and fifth-stage regions.
It seems the monsters will only spawn in areas up to two stages ahead at most. Chen Mo thought, looking at the distribution of light points and finding it fairly manageable. Generally speaking, the fourth-stage region was basically unpopulated, so even if some people tried to enter, he could simply go to the fifth-stage region if he did not wish to compete with them. Although entering the fifth-stage region on the third day would lead to a significant monster buff, he believed he could handle it.
At present, Chen Mo hadn’t moved areas since a few light points were nearby. With his good luck, the target monsters had spawned near him. He immediately commanded the Skeleton Monster to charge the target area.
Everyone else also opened their maps and surged en masse from the second-stage region into the third-stage region, heading towards the nearest light points.
On Chen Mo’s side, while he instructed the Skeleton Monster to clear the nearby light points, he began moving towards the fourth-stage region. Since the third-stage region already had too many players vying for a limited number of monsters, he naturally didn’t want to compete with them.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, seeing the new day arrive and Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue’s monster kill count not skyrocketing as before, observers said cheerfully, "It seems that when the third day’s limited tasks come out, even they can’t slaughter monsters like before."
"True. Others haven’t even started, yet they’ve already killed several. While it’s not the soaring speed of the past two days, they’re still significantly ahead."
"You’re right. With the task limiting the quantity, the more they kill, the fewer are left for others. Naturally, their lead widens."
Back in the dungeon, seeing Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue’s kill counts again leading the leaderboard, everyone was no longer surprised in the slightest. After witnessing their abnormal speed in killing the Flying BOSS yesterday, even the proudest disciples from aristocratic families were completely convinced of Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue’s superiority. Naturally, no one had any objections regarding them anymore.
When Chen Mo entered the fourth-stage region, some people had also thought that since the third-stage region was too competitive, they might as well go to the fourth-stage region. However, after entering and being warned by the Heavenly Path System that monsters within the fourth-stage region would be ten times stronger, they were scared off and quickly retreated!
The monsters from yesterday had already been quite powerful, and today’s monsters were only going to be more formidable and threatening. The monsters for the next day were an even greater concern. According to The Heavenly Path’s Hint, monsters within the fourth-stage region would be ten times stronger. Who would dare to enter?
Chen Mo naturally had no competition then. Originally, Chen Mo had thought that if there were still people competing in the fourth-stage region, he could easily go to the fifth-stage region and farm undisturbed. Unexpectedly, not a single person dared to come in.
Achieving the ten-fold completion target for the mission became easy again.
Not having to worry about the mission quota, Chen Mo naturally turned his attention to the SSS-level Special BOSS. If he could acquire its corpse, the special task could be completed. This wasn’t just for the SSS-level rewards the Five Spirits Gathering Dungeon would provide, but also for the Elf Holy Water that could clear the impurities from the Heart of God. Additionally, he could get on the hidden mission list and earn extra survival days. Therefore, Chen Mo was determined to obtain the reward for this hidden mission!
Although completing the task could rely heavily on luck, now with an additional SS level Special BOSS’s corpse, Chen Mo could prolong his search duration. There were still plenty of opportunities.
Not only that, Chen Mo also sent a message to Meng Han and the others, asking them to help look out for similar formation patterns, promising a great reward if found.
