Chapter 766: Chapter 371: An Unexpected Task (Two in One)_2
Besides the Defeated Weak BUFF, there are also individuals like Chen Mo who can absorb Divine Power by killing their targets. If killed by such an individual, not only would you lose the Divine Power that would drop normally, but a significant amount of your own Divine Power would also be lost. Therefore, even though being killed while invading another’s territory isn’t permanently fatal, it still carries significant risks. Those with high Divine Power naturally wouldn’t choose to invade low Divine Power areas, as the potential gains are limited.
Considering Chen Mo’s current Divine Power level, although he was still operating in the Second Area within his own territory. However, if the faction versus faction mode were truly activated, Chen Mo would certainly invade the deeper regions of an opponent’s territory. After all, his strength was considerably greater than that of regular professionals. His Divine Physique granted him the effects of superior Divine Power and superior divine element. Chen Mo’s current Divine Power appeared to be just over 200,000. However, considering his Divine Power tier, it was actually comparable to mid-tier Divine Power, meaning 1 point of his Divine Power was equivalent to 2 points of lower-tier Divine Power. This was equivalent to over 400,000 Divine Power for an ordinary person. Even if he entered the Third Area, he would have more than enough Divine Power to manage.
Ignoring the stares of the surrounding native inhabitants, Chen Mo entered the Alchemy Tower and immediately walked towards a receptionist on the first floor. Admittedly, the receptionist’s attire made it quite difficult to recognize her as such. The first floor of the Alchemy Tower was bustling with people, and with the variety of races present, everyone’s appearance and clothing were remarkably diverse and distinctive. If you were to enter rashly, it would be very difficult to determine anyone’s specific role or identity. Chen Mo was relying entirely on his Mind Reading Technique to figure out who was who.
At this moment, he was in front of a girl who had two ears resembling those of a rabbit on her head. This girl’s other features were quite similar to those of humans from Earth; it was just her ears that were truly distinctive. Were it not for the constant twitching of her long ears, an uninformed observer might have thought she was wearing a bunny girl ear accessory.
“Respected Destined Person, how may I assist you?” Seeing Chen Mo walk towards her, the rabbit-eared receptionist immediately bowed politely and inquired.
“I’ve come here seeking a certain medicinal pill. I hope you can tell me where in the Alchemy Tower I might obtain it,” Chen Mo said with a smile.
“What medicinal pill might that be? Please, tell me.”
“The Rising Spirit Pill. Do you have it here?”
Hearing the name of this medicinal pill, the rabbit-eared girl paused for a moment before replying, “We do have it, yes. However, this pill is quite difficult to refine. It’s the unique craft of our Great Alchemist, Gu Jita. If you wish to obtain this pill, you’ll need to speak with Master Gu Jita.”
“Oh? And where might Master Gu Jita be?”
“He is on the tenth floor of the Alchemy Tower. Please come with me; I’ll take you up,” the rabbit-eared receptionist said with a smile.
“Then I’ll trouble you.”
As Chen Mo was speaking with the rabbit-eared receptionist, a girl with bronze-colored skin and unusual patterns on her body suddenly approached them.
“Greetings, Mr. Destined Person.”
Chen Mo was slightly taken aback by her initiative. He immediately activated his Mind Reading Technique to discern her thoughts while asking aloud, “Is there something I can help you with?” He asked, but in reality, Chen Mo had already swiftly discerned her intentions.
She then said, “Please forgive my presumptuousness, but I overheard that you require the Rising Spirit Pill. Our Kaqiu Clan happens to have two such pills in stock. Recently, our Kaqiu Clan has encountered some trouble and requires the assistance of a Destined Person. If you are interested, we would like to invite you to our clan to discuss this further. If you can help us resolve our trouble, we will immediately offer you the Rising Spirit Pills with both hands.”
Hearing this, Chen Mo glanced at the rabbit-eared receptionist beside him.
At this moment, the rabbit-eared receptionist said, “If that’s the case, esteemed Destined Person, please make your own choice. Truthfully, getting Master Gu Jita to personally refine a pill is also quite troublesome. He always has various eccentric demands that others must satisfy, and the difficulty in meeting them might not be any less than the trouble this lady mentioned.”
The bronze-skinned girl immediately added, “That’s absolutely correct. Master Gu Jita has an eccentric personality, so seeking his help is very troublesome. Although our clan’s matter isn’t simple, it can be resolved as long as one possesses sufficient strength. I perceived your strength to be absolutely extraordinary, which is why I took the liberty of making this request.”
After hearing them both out, Chen Mo pondered for a moment and eventually nodded in agreement. His main reasoning was that he had come to the Alchemy Tower seeking medicine. If he completed a task for this Master Gu Jita, he would likely just be given the medicinal pill, and that would be the end of it. However, if he helped a clan, he might receive even more rewards and gratitude from its members. Since the reward would include a Rising Spirit Pill in either case, choosing the latter was clearly more advantageous. Besides, as the girl mentioned, the troublesome task she described merely required sufficient strength. His current strength was definitely sufficient for him to dominate within the Second Area of the World of Heavenly Element. Thus, he was more inclined to accept this task.
He smiled at the bronze-skinned girl and said, “Alright, I’ll accept your task then. Where is your clan located? I have other important matters to attend to, so it would be best if I could resolve your troubles quickly.”
When the bronze-skinned girl heard Chen Mo actually agree, she was overjoyed. She quickly took out a map and marked the location of her clan for him.
After learning the specific location of her clan, Chen Mo bid farewell to the rabbit-eared receptionist. Then, taking the bronze-skinned girl with him, he used Divine Flicker to teleport them directly into the village.
The moment he entered the village, Chen Mo’s Eye of Origin automatically activated its “God’s perspective,” allowing him to instantly take in every detail within the village. The villagers were all either sick or injured. Some were so severely afflicted by poison that they were barely recognizable, their entire bodies grotesquely swollen, looking as if they might burst at any second. The sight was utterly horrifying.
“Esteemed Destined Person, the trouble our village has recently encountered involves a highly venomous monster that appeared on the mountain. It has occupied the source of the mountain spring, causing its potent venom to contaminate the spring water, which in turn has affected the quality of our well water. This has caused our well water to become tainted as well. The villagers who drank the poisoned water are now all severely afflicted. I had originally planned to go to the Alchemy Tower to seek medicine. However, after I described the monster’s appearance to the people there, they informed me that there is currently no medicine that can completely cure this monster’s venom. Various antitoxins can only alleviate the symptoms but not address the root cause; it’s a poison that taints one’s very core. To completely neutralize the venom produced by this monster, one must obtain its inner core. Mixing the monster’s inner core with water will achieve a thorough purification effect.”
“I see. So, you’re saying that if that monster is killed, the problem will be resolved?”
“Yes. However, this monster is simply too strong, and its incredibly terrifying venom means none of us dare to face it, nor are we capable of doing so. Its venom directly attacks one’s core. Even if we were to attack it from a great distance, our own cores would still suffer from its venomous backlash. That is what’s most terrifying about it. We lack the strength to deal with such a monster, and it’s very difficult to find powerful experts who can help. Fortunately, we encountered you today. We implore you to show mercy and lend us your aid.” The bronze-skinned girl immediately knelt as she finished speaking.
“Stand up, Taya. Since I’ve come, I will naturally help you resolve this.”
Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Taya immediately stood up, overjoyed. However, she quickly paused, a puzzled look on her face, and asked, “How do you know my name? I just realized I forgot to introduce myself.”
Chen Mo smiled and said, “Destined People know everything.”
“Destined People are so amazing!” Taya exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she looked at him. Chen Mo had merely been joking, but she took him completely seriously.
This left Chen Mo rather speechless. He stopped bantering with the naive girl and prepared to set off to deal with the calamitous monster. According to what Taya had described about the monster’s impact, if he could resolve this issue, the reward afterward would likely be more than just a single Rising Spirit Pill. The native inhabitants of this Second Area possessed stronger basic Divine Power than those in the First Area, which clearly implied they were also wealthier.
After instructing Taya to remain in the village and await news, Chen Mo, with a mere thought, entered the mountains near the village.
