29: Chapter 29 Providing Timely Help

After a restful night, Tang Mo set off once again, fully prepared.

He arrived at the Ning Tong City gates around 10:00 AM.

The morning was the busiest time; having rested all night, the Professionals were full of drive.

Some were even eager to encounter a high-level fierce beast to have a good fight and vent their excess energy.

Unlike at night, although sunlight rarely penetrated the morning jungle, the light was not too dim.

Walking along the road, Tang Mo constantly felt as if he was being watched.

This feeling had appeared right as he stepped out of the city gates.

Yet when Tang Mo turned back to observe, he found nothing.

Tang Mo knew he was indeed being targeted; one's sixth sense was the least likely to lie.

Especially after what happened last night, Tang Mo had begun to stay vigilant of his surroundings at all times.

On the outermost edge of the jungle, many Professionals were hunting fierce beasts in teams.

Tang Mo found it inconvenient to release his Poison Barrier directly to avoid accidental injuries.

As Tang Mo gradually walked deeper into the jungle, that feeling of being watched finally began to fade.

"Don't they dare follow me in?"

After Tang Mo left, a muscular man with a scar on his face stepped out from the bushes.

Then, more than ten others also emerged from the shrubbery.

One of them was dressed in a slick and foppish manner—it was Ma Xueyi.

He approached the muscular leader with a fawning smile on his face.

"That's the kid who killed Hai Zhongsheng?"

Ma Xueyi hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"It's regrettable that my level is low and my class is weak, so I couldn't lend Boss Hai a hand, allowing them to be killed by this treacherous person."

Zhao Zhen glanced at Ma Xueyi impatiently, the contempt in his eyes completely undisguised.

In his heart, he felt extremely repulsed by Ma Xueyi's inferior acting.

However, since Consul Li had promised to take this guy through the dungeon, it wouldn't be right to embarrass him to his face.

Snapping back to the present, Zhao Zhen looked in the direction where Tang Mo's figure had disappeared, deeply shocked in his heart.

One had to know, he was the undisputed captain of the Dayang Guild's elite dungeon team.

His own level had reached Level 38.

His equipment went without saying; a full Silver-grade Berserker class suit added significant combat power to him.

But even so, he didn't dare go deep into the interior of the jungle; the fierce beasts there were not something he could handle.

Even if all three of their Professional teams were combined—fifteen Level 30+ Professionals—they wouldn't dare charge inside.

If they were ever entangled by the fierce beasts within, they would likely all end up in the beasts' bellies.

Zhao Zhen also completely cast aside his contempt. "Everyone, stay sharp. This kid is likely not simple. If necessary, use that Sealing Scroll for me!"

Hearing that Zhao Zhen wanted to use a Sealing Scroll, the other team members all showed surprised expressions.

Even the captains of the other two Professional teams wore looks of disbelief.

They knew how precious a Sealing Scroll was; it was a treasure that was often unavailable even if one had the money.

Zhao Zhen was also reluctant, but after hearing Ma Xueyi describe the scene of Tang Mo killing Hai Zhongsheng and the others last night, he had to use this Sealing Scroll just to be safe.

The Sealing Scroll contained a very powerful sealing technique. Unlike ordinary spells, as long as one was touched by this sealing technique, they would be directly and completely sealed.

After entering the depths of the jungle, the feeling of being watched indeed vanished.

Arriving at the entrance of the Dayang Dragon Palace Dungeon, Tang Mo once again chose to enter the purgatory difficulty dungeon.

After completing three consecutive runs, Tang Mo's level had reached Level 19, and his experience points had reached 20%.

As his level increased, the experience points required to level up rose again.

However, Tang Mo estimated that in another day, he would be able to reach Level 20 directly.

From the three runs of the purgatory-grade Dragon Palace dungeon, Tang Mo also obtained three more pieces of Gold-grade equipment.

[Gold-grade Snake Scale Breastplate: Endurance +400, Damage Reduction +5%, Immunity to the first instance of damage received. Requirement: Level 20.]

[Gold-grade Snake Skin Shoes: Agility +300, Tenacity +20%, Short-distance Flash (can be used twice per day). Requirement: Level 20.]

[Gold-grade Snake Tail Gloves: Strength +400, Skill Range +20%, Skill Damage +10%. Requirement: Level 20.]

Not only that, the three runs of the purgatory-grade dungeon also provided Tang Mo with three Serpents Reverse Scales. This way, Tang Mo could go to the Association to exchange them for 30 Association Contribution Points and 300,000 gold coins.

For Tang Mo, who was short on money, this was simply providing timely help.

After finishing the dungeon, Tang Mo felt his surge of enthusiasm had been spent; he couldn't even muster the interest to hunt those fierce beasts.

In comparison, fierce beasts gave very little experience, and the equipment drop rate was also low.

However, even small gains are still gains; who told Tang Mo to have two God-level Skills?

For the sake of increasing his poison damage by 2 for every beast killed, Tang Mo had to grit his teeth and persevere.

This time, Tang Mo simply went to the territory of Level 20 fierce beasts to try his luck and see if he could drop a few more pieces of Level 20 equipment.

Although the probability was pathetically low, there was still a chance.

Besides, Tang Mo's main purpose was still to hunt fierce beasts.

Zhao Zhen and the others had been waiting at the edge of the jungle for Tang Mo to return.

This wait lasted until nightfall.

The sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and the sky was occupied by the night, without a single star or a trace of moonlight.

The earth was pitch black, and the jungle, which already lacked light, was now completely shrouded in darkness.

Zhao Zhen and the others were even more alert, carefully scrutinizing everyone coming out of the jungle, fearing they might miss Tang Mo.

Fortunately, after dark, those late-returning Professionals brought their own lighting equipment, so there was no need to worry about not seeing clearly.

In the bushes, more than a dozen people and over twenty pairs of eyes stared intently at the small jungle path exit.

Wang Qi held the Sealing Scroll, feeling even greater pressure; he swore he never wanted to feel this sensation of being heavily relied upon again.

Due to staring at the exit for a long time, his eyes inevitably felt sore and swollen, and Sun Hao, who was beside him, was already on the verge of exploding.

As a team leader of the Dayang Guild, how dare he be made to wait this long? He definitely wouldn't let that kid off easily later.

Sun Hao silently swore in his heart.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the jungle path, and a figure emerged from the woods.

With fluffy hair, a height of over 1.8 meters, and deep eyes carrying a hint of melancholy, Tang Mo's looks would have made him a top-tier handsome guy even in his previous life.

The moment they saw Tang Mo, Zhao Zhen and the others immediately perked up.

Wang Qi gripped the secret technique scroll tightly, waiting only for the captain's command.

Ma Xueyi, who had been staying at the very back of the crowd, quietly took a few steps back.

After all, the scene of Tang Mo killing Hai Zhongsheng and the others last night was too eerie; he still had some lingering fears.

Although Ma Xueyi didn't think Zhao Zhen's group of over a dozen Level 30+ Professionals would lose to Tang Mo,

his naturally cowardly personality still made him involuntarily retreat a few steps.
