When the Green Snake Mark appeared on the back of Ning Xi's hand, Lin Mo was shocked.
Because when he checked the time, he found that only an hour had passed since they entered the dungeon.
It had all been thanks to Ah Li, who had personally killed a thousand Level 75 monsters, the demon snakes, in just one hour.
One had to know that even if these demon snakes didn't have the Petrification skill.
With Lin Mo and Ning Xi's strength, they might not necessarily have been able to achieve this many kills in an hour.
It had been proven: Ancestral rank!
A full set of Level 70 Tier 6 all-gold Heavenly Dance equipment.
A full set of exclusive Zhutiant equipment.
All six SSS-rank exclusive skills.
With this top-level combat power boost in every aspect, Ah Li's strength at this moment was already completely on par with Lin Mo and Ning Xi, the two SSS-rank talent holders.
"Heavenly Bewitchment • Fox Clan Empress."
"Sure enough, she's terrifying!"
Lin Mo couldn't help exclaiming.
Seeing how Ah Li's strength had increased so ridiculously after obtaining a full set of exclusive equipment, the desire in Lin Mo's heart to obtain a complete Eternal Set for Divine Descent Seraph · Siya as soon as possible grew even stronger.
"Wait a little longer."
Lin Mo looked at Divine Descent Seraph · Siya beside him and murmured, "As long as we conquer the Serpent King Island Secret Realm and obtain the map fragment, then combine it with the four fragments that Netherworld is about to obtain, we'll be able to find the Divine Forging Cauldron. Then Mo Chen can forge a complete set of exclusive equipment for you, the Eternal Set!"
Also, as divine pets, since Ah Li had exclusive skills, then Divine Descent Seraph · Siya would certainly have them too.
"First, I'll get your exclusive equipment. Later, when we go to the Divine Kingdom, maybe we'll be able to find some clues about your exclusive skills!"
Thinking this, Lin Mo and Ning Xi submitted the dungeon quest and exited the dungeon.
Players needed to possess the marks from all five major Snake Clan dungeons to use the marks as a pass and enter the Snake Clan's Gold-rank Secret Realm, Serpent King Island.
And the last time they entered the Snake Demon Hinterland dungeon, Lin Mo had already relied on an SSS-rank magic scroll to easily kill a thousand demon snakes and obtain the Green Snake Mark.
So this time, their main objective was to obtain the mark for Ning Xi.
After leaving the Snake Demon Hinterland, Lin Mo and Ning Xi headed straight for the second dungeon: Lv76 Viper Forest.
The dungeon quest was more or less the same.
The party only needed to kill 300 snakes together to complete the dungeon quest.
And to obtain the Snake Clan Mark, they needed to personally kill 1,000.
However, compared to the Level 75 green snakes in the Level 75 Snake Demon Hinterland.
The Level 76 Five-Step Snakes in this Viper Forest dungeon were one level higher and somewhat stronger.
Of course, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't withstand Lin Mo's slaughter.
Snap!
As the magic scroll he had prepared beforehand was crushed in his hand, instantly, with Lin Mo at the center, time stopped within a 1,000-yard radius, and a suffocating feeling swept over all the Five-Step Snakes in the forest.
[Ding~ You used the SSS-rank magic scroll Fatal·Spatial Annihilation, obtaining a permanent enhancement: Final damage against monsters +1% (6/100)!]
[Ding~ Killed 1,086 Level 76 monster Five-Step Snakes, EXP +1,759,320,000 (monster level is 1 level lower than your own, reducing final rewards by 10%)…]
[Ding~ Congratulations, you have completed the dungeon quest. Submit the quest to clear the dungeon and obtain your rewards!]
[Ding~ Congratulations, your number of Five-Step Snakes killed has reached 1,000. You have obtained the Five-Step Snake Mark!]
Save when it was worth saving, but when it wasn't worth saving, Lin Mo didn't hesitate.
After all, just like the green snakes before them, these Five-Step Snakes could also share Queen Medusa's Petrification talent.
Lin Mo couldn't be bothered to waste time fighting them.
One magic scroll could deal true damage and instantly wipe out the entire map. How satisfying.
At this moment, besides the Green Snake Mark, a second mark finally appeared on the back of Lin Mo's hand.
Ning Xi didn't have an SSS-rank magic scroll to use.
So she continued with manual mode, crossing the area affected by Spatial Annihilation.
This place was still Ah Li's stage.
With her extreme true damage, she moved through this Viper Forest.
Every time Ah Li attacked, Ning Xi would receive combat information showing that dozens of Five-Step Snakes had been killed at once.
A pet's kills counted toward its master's kill count.
And so, it also took just over an hour to complete a thousand kills, and Ning Xi successfully obtained the second Snake Clan Mark: the Five-Step Snake Mark.
Before they had planned to improve Ah Li, Lin Mo had originally expected that because all these Snake Clan monsters possessed the Petrification talent, which could simultaneously make them immune to physical and magical damage, they would be extremely difficult to deal with.
So it would take at least a day to clear each dungeon.
The five major Snake Clan dungeons would require five days to clear them all.
But now, it wasn't even noon yet, and they had already quickly cleared two dungeons.
At this rate, clearing all five dungeons within today would definitely be no problem.
It had been proven: the decision to spend so much time and effort specifically improving Ah Li had indeed been the right one.
Otherwise, even if they didn't train her now.
They would still have to spend time specifically improving Ah Li in the future.
Now that Ah Li had been fully improved, she could also help them conquer the dungeons and the Serpent King Island Secret Realm.
It killed two birds with one stone.
And so, with the Heavenly Bewitchment Fox Clan Empress·Ah Li stationed in the subsequent dungeons, there was no suspense.
12:30 p.m.
[Ding~ Congratulations, you have completed the Lv77 Calamity of the Giant Python dungeon quest. Submit the quest to clear the dungeon and obtain your rewards!]
[Ding~ Congratulations, your number of King Cobras killed has reached 1,000. You have obtained the King Cobra Mark!]
They logged off for lunch and took a short nap.
———
[4 P.M.]
[Ding~ Congratulations, you have completed the Lv78 Giant Snake Siege dungeon quest. Submit the quest to clear the dungeon and obtain your rewards!]
[Ding~ Congratulations, your number of Ring-necked Krait killed has reached 1,000. You have obtained the Ring-necked Krait Mark!]
———
[6 P.M.]
[Ding~ Congratulations, you have completed the Lv79 Snake Den dungeon quest. Submit the quest to clear the dungeon and obtain your rewards!]
[Ding~ Congratulations, your number of Golden Ring Snakes killed has reached 1,000. You have obtained the Golden Ring Snake Mark!]
On the backs of their hands, the five major Snake Clan Marks, Bamboo Green Snake, Five-Step Snake, King Cobra, Ring-necked Krait, and Golden Ring Snake, appeared at the same time.
At this moment, Lin Mo and Ning Xi simultaneously looked up.
In the center of the sea surrounded by the five Snake Clan dungeons, a huge island suddenly emerged from the clouds and mist.
Just as Ning Fei had said: The Serpent King Island Secret Realm had always existed.
But only players who simultaneously obtained all five Snake Clan Marks could see it and enter the Serpent King Island Secret Realm.
At this moment, the system's pleasant notification sounded in Lin Mo and Ning Xi's ears at the same time.
[Ding~ Congratulations, you have obtained the qualification to enter the Lv80 rare-race Snake Clan Gold-rank Secret Realm, Serpent King Island. You may summon a teleportation portal through the marks and enter the Secret Realm at any time (Note: The marks will disappear after entering the Secret Realm. If you wish to enter the Secret Realm again after this round ends, you must obtain the five Snake Clan Marks again)!]
After waiting so many days, they had finally reached this moment.
As long as they cleared the Serpent King Island Secret Realm, they could obtain the Snake Clan treasure Ruyi and use it to bring divine water into the Divine Capital's water channels.
As long as they cleared the Serpent King Island Secret Realm, they could obtain the map fragment of the Divine Forging Cauldron and find the Divine Forging Cauldron.
As long as they combined the divine water with the Divine Forging Cauldron, they could reforge the Eternal Set for Divine Descent Seraph · Siya.
At this moment, Lin Mo's excitement was indescribable.
Although the Level 80 Rare-race Gold-rank Secret Realm wasn't very difficult for Lin Mo, and he was fully confident that he could take it down in one go.
He was just worried that his stomach wouldn't be able to take it.
Lin Mo said, "Let's go. We'll log off and eat first, then come back tonight and take down Serpent King Island."
Ning Xi was obviously hungry too and happily nodded, "Mm-hmm!"
The two of them immediately crushed their Return Scrolls, turning into white light and disappearing from the shore.
———
At the same time...
[Inferno City, Super God Arena]
After Ji Ningshuang effortlessly secured ten consecutive wins in the solo arena.
Ding!
She suddenly received several WeChat messages in succession.
[Super God Invincible: "Miss, the Divine Forging Tower Secret Realm in Shadow City has been cleared. We've already obtained the Divine Forging Cauldron map fragment!"]
[Super God Rampage: "Miss, the Black Rock Palace Secret Realm in Rakshasa City has been cleared. We've already obtained the Divine Forging Cauldron map fragment!"]
[Super God Unrivaled: "The Blood Moon Ancient Castle Secret Realm in Blood Moon City has been cleared!"]
[Super God Long Aotian: "The Hopeless Sea Island Secret Realm in Hopeless City has been cleared!"]
Seeing these messages, the corners of Ji Ningshuang's mouth lifted, a hint of coldness appeared in her cold eyes.
"Rulebound..."
"Your time of death is near!"
