Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Tasty Treasure! (2/5)_1

"Earth Elemental Crystal Cores... Don’t you need to harvest them from the corpse of an Earth-Elemental BOSS? But I don’t know any collecting techniques," Chen Mo said to the chubby, elderly earth spirit.

"Take this with you, and you should be fine."

The earth spirit handed Chen Mo a beautiful, transparent Crystal Stone that appeared to be hollow.

"This Crystal Stone will automatically absorb the energy of the Earth Elemental Crystal Core. However, some energy may be lost during the process. Without a collecting technique, you’ll need to absorb ten Earth Elemental Crystal Cores. Or, alternatively, you can bring five corpses with Earth Elemental Crystal Cores back here."

"This hidden mission is quite thoughtful," Yan Yingyue laughed after hearing this. "A generous selection of three different ways to accomplish the mission: using a collecting technique, killing ten, or having a roomy knapsack."

Chen Mo handed the Crystal Stone back, saying, "Then I’ll just bring the corpses directly back here."

"Young man, please make it quick. I’m afraid I won’t last much longer."

Seeing the countdown above the earth spirit’s head, which showed nearly three days remaining, Chen Mo chuckled. "Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon."

And you call that not lasting much longer? The Light Spirit is the one who’s truly about to die! Chen Mo complained internally. He then noted their current coordinates and led Yan Yingyue away.

He was currently in the fifth-tier area.

If he entered on the third day, the monsters’ strength would be twenty times higher!

Even so, Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters could quickly dispatch them with a swarm attack.

However, if they split up to hunt smaller monsters, their efficiency would naturally be much lower than before.

While Chen Mo cleared the remaining flash elements, he also searched for randomly appearing elemental monsters.

However, finding a specific type of Elemental BOSS wasn’t easy.

Chen Mo wasn’t interested in any Elemental BOSS that wasn’t the specific type he needed.

After all, the Elemental Crystal Core required for the next special mission might be from a higher-tier area.

Bringing BOSS corpses from the current area would then be pointless and a waste of time.

Naturally, Chen Mo couldn’t be bothered with such pointless efforts.

He was now searching for both Earth-Elemental BOSS and Special BOSS simultaneously.

Unlike Special BOSS, Earth-Elemental BOSS were difficult to find, but he could still encounter one if he spent enough time searching.

Less than half an hour later, he stumbled upon one.

Swarmed by the Skeleton Monsters in an unsporting, overwhelming attack, the Earth-Elemental BOSS perished without even a chance to move.

Chen Mo casually collected the corpse and continued his search.

Watching Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters dispatch a BOSS as easily as dicing vegetables, Yan Yingyue couldn’t help but feel a chill.

If Chen Mo decided to use these Skeleton Monsters against the other examinees in the instance, who could possibly stop them? They could probably wipe everyone out.

The next few hours yielded nothing significant, aside from killing a few more Earth-Elemental BOSS and inching closer to the mission quota.

When the fifth hour since the start of the third day arrived, because everyone had collectively eliminated 800 flash elements in the previous hour, 1,600 flash elements were released this hour.

This allowed Chen Mo, who was already close to his goal, to easily complete his mission quota.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have completed the daily elimination mission tenfold! You are rewarded with an additional 5 days of survival duration. Current Survival Duration: 139 (+40%)]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Since you are the first professional to complete the daily elimination mission tenfold, you receive an extra hidden reward.]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have received the ultra-rare hidden reward ’Instant Group Teleportation Talisman’!]

[Instant Group Teleportation Talisman]: Activation of this item instantly teleports the user and up to ten friendly units in the vicinity to a location envisioned by the user (the target location must be within the same spatiotemporal continuum as the current location).

"An Instant Teleportation Talisman, and a group version at that! What a lifesaver!" Chen Mo’s face lit up at the sight of the reward.

This Teleportation Talisman is incredible! Unless I encounter a sealed space, I can use it to escape a thousand miles in an instant. As long as I can picture the destination, I could even teleport from Earth to the Moon!

"What is it? Did you get something good that’s made you so happy?" Seeing Chen Mo’s joyful expression, Yan Yingyue felt her own spirits lift and asked with a smile.

"A fantastic treasure for saving lives," Chen Mo said, cheerfully sharing the item information.

"It’s even a group version! That’s truly valuable. If I had this, I’d sell it. It would fetch a great price," Yan Yingyue replied, her first thought being to exchange it for money.

The old Chen Mo might have thought the same. But now, he valued his life more. Aware of his immense potential for growth, he wasn’t willing to trade his life for money.

While completing the tenfold mission, Chen Mo encountered another Earth-Elemental BOSS.

With a barrage from the Little Skeletons, the unfortunate Earth-Elemental BOSS collapsed without even a chance to retaliate.

That’s enough now, Chen Mo thought.

After storing the corpse, Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue promptly returned to where they had left the earth spirit.

Although the countdown above the earth spirit’s head still showed a long time remaining, given his frail and aged appearance, Chen Mo genuinely worried that a random monster spawning nearby might devour him.

Fortunately, when Chen Mo returned, the earth spirit was still safe and sound.

In fact, he was sprawled comfortably on his back, sound asleep, with a large snot bubble rhythmically inflating and deflating at his nostrils.

Chen Mo was rendered speechless by the sight.

"Senior, I’ve brought back what you asked for."

Chen Mo didn’t hesitate to shake him awake.

The elderly earth spirit, startled awake, rubbed his eyes blearily. Once his gaze focused on Chen Mo, he asked excitedly, "You’ve gathered them all? Quick, let me see!"

As Chen Mo produced the five Earth-Elemental BOSS corpses one by one, a bright glint flashed in the elderly earth spirit’s eyes. He then frantically pounced towards the chest area of the corpses.

After he swiftly devoured parts of them, the chest areas of the five Earth-Elemental BOSS corpses were reduced to hollowed-out, brown depressions.

Looking at the earth spirit again, his once-wrinkled skin had become smooth, and his formerly aged face now looked as tender and adorable as a baby’s.

"Thank you, young ones. Thanks to your help, I’ve recovered my energy and regained my youth. Take these two trinkets as your reward."

Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue accepted the two pearls from the earth spirit with smiles. However, they found it odd that the Earth Spirit Pearls felt somewhat moist.

[Earth Spirit Pearl]: A pearl containing pure Earth Attribute Energy. Legend says they are a secretion of earth spirits. This Earth Spirit Pearl is exceptionally fresh; it must have been produced very recently.

"What!"

The two were initially quite happy with the reward, but after reading the last sentence of the item description, they suddenly felt the treasures in their hands had acquired a rather... distinct quality.
