At this moment on the seventh floor, after Mu You finished killing, he had already left the bee nest area and quickly checked his battle loot.
The results were somewhat unusual this time.
[You have killed the Killer Bee Queen. Experience+26, Lifespan+1.]
[You have gained ’Queen Bee Crown’, ’Queen Bee Jelly’*1, ’Sky Gloves’, ’Experience Book of 10000 points’*1]
[Your poison resistance increases permanently by 50 points.]
The loot surprisingly did not include the most essential Evolution Gem but instead included two new items.
[Queen Bee Crown: Dropped by the bee queen upon her death, it grants the wearer the ’Bee Affinity’ trait, preventing bees from attacking them.]
[Queen Bee Jelly: An essence made by the bee queen, which permanently increases HP by 1000 points (maximum similar effect of 5000 points) and a recovery speed of 5 HP points per second.]
A tool that makes one immune to bee swarms and a consumable that permanently adds HP are both good items. However, when compared to an Evolution Gem, these items do not hold much value.
Since the opening of the Underground City, there have only been eight Evolution Gems found. Hence, it seems unlikely that the supply of Evolution Gems has already been depleted.
From this, it appears that the Evolution Gems can only be looted from the bosses in the palaces from the first to the sixth floor.
Mu You, shaking his head, didn’t have time to think about this further - he still needed to grind for more experience.
As the time on his Experience Card continued to tick away, Mu You quickly replenished his supplies, returned to the battlefield, and proceeded as before, until he had completely used up the Fool’s Card’s time.
By this time, his experience bar read: Level 19 (657012/655360). This didn’t even include the Experience Book he had just obtained.
Mu You immediately chose to level up to level 20 and took the prepared Evolution Elixir.
To break through the level 20 bottleneck, 25 bottles of Evolution Elixir are needed. Therefore, the quality requirement for the elixir was somewhat lower compared to level 15. He only needed the Excellent Grade elixir.
After the breakthrough was completed, Mu You, feeling the surge of power throughout his body, redistributed his attribute points in the game.
The revised attributes were: Strength 32, Agility 64, Intelligence 96, Constitution 36, Free Attribute points 5, HP: 11600, Magic: 13600.
This was still his base panel attribute. If the effect of Vampire Skin was also considered, both his Agility and Intelligence would break 100, with his Intelligence nearly reaching 200.
After adjusting the panel, Mu You turned his attention back to the game.
Now that the Killer Bee Queen was dead and he had nearly wiped out the swarm of bees, only a few scattered Killer Bees remained in the nest.
There wasn’t much time left on the Experience Card, and Mu You didn’t intend to keep grinding, so he let his character put on the Queen Bee Crown and walk to the entrance of the bee nest.
The Son of Heaven had said that beneath the seventh floor of the Underground City was a hidden space that held many important secrets.
Now that the seventh floor has been cleared, the entrance to this mysterious space should logically be discovered.
The most likely place for this entrance would be somewhere near the final boss.
[You arrive at the entrance to the bee nest, blocked by a light membrane barrier.]
[This is the barrier protecting the bee nest, normal inhabitants cannot pass through, but as a City Lord, you can open the barrier at any time. Would you like to enter?]
[You pass through the barrier and step into the damp, sticky interior of the bee nest alone.]
[Inside the bee nest, a buzzing sound echoes. You then realize that there are even more young Killer Bees sleeping inside, numbering in tens of thousands, but because you’re wearing the Queen Bee Crown, they don’t show any signs of attacking you.]
[You continue to explore within. In the deepest part of the bee nest, you push aside a layer of nest adhered to the stone wall. Behind the nest, you find a closed stone door shrouded by a barrier.]
Mu You’s eyes brighten and he immediately attempts to open the door.
The result comes with a prompt: [Entrance to the core area of the City of Dawn, which can only be entered once all of the Sky Cities are activated.]
"There are requirements..."
Mu You sighed inwardly, a bit disappointed. All the Sky Cities had to be activated to open this door, in other words, he had to conquer the City of Eternal Night first.
That being said, could the reason Red Sleeve intentionally revealed the five number map earlier, accelerating the opening of the City of Eternal Night, be to enter this place?
What exactly is inside here?
Mu You could not guess at the moment. Regardless, since he couldn’t enter, he had no choice but to leave for now.
Having sorted out his level, Mu You returned to Dark City for the next day, repeatedly jumping about around the werewolves’ residence, observing their movements while looking for the ’Boiling Blood Wolf’.
However, he didn’t find his target, but instead scared the werewolves: Since when could a vampire strut about openly in werewolf territory?
The werewolves thought the Blood Clan was about to initiate a counterattack ahead of time. They came out of their wolf dens one by one, transforming into werewolf forms, watching Mu You fiercely yet without daring to initiate any attack, as the Wolf King had already given a strict order to wait and see!
The Blood Dawn who had once fooled the werewolves also had experience and feared that it was another trap. Anyway, this place was Dark City, and there were rules here. They were sure that the vampires wouldn’t dare to create chaos here.
Thus, a group of werewolves could merely line up in the street, anxiously being led around by Mu You.
This did make it easier for Mu You to find who he was searching for as he inspected the werewolves as if at a parade.
However, even after going through the information of all the werewolves, he did not see a single ’Boiling Blood Wolf’.
