121: Chapter 120: Ever since I killed those two monsters at the start, I haven't leveled up again.
"You think I'd be afraid of the Dragon King?"
The smile at the corner of Lin Mo's mouth gradually widened.
"Interesting."
He casually reached his left hand into his pocket.
When he pulled it out, a bronze compass was in his palm.
At the center of the compass, fluctuations of pure Space Law emanated.
Lin Mo tossed the compass into the air and caught it steadily.
"Weren't you curious just now how I found you so precisely?"
Lin Mo's voice echoed in the empty ice cap hall.
The Second and Third Elders followed Lin Mo's hand with their eyes.
When they saw the appearance of the compass and the iconic Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon totem on its edge,
Their bodies suddenly froze.
Then, as if they had seen the most terrifying nightmare in the world, their old eyes instantly bulged.
"That's..."
The Third Elder's lips trembled violently, unable to piece together a complete sentence.
His legs went weak, and he scrambled backward on all fours.
The Second Elder was no better, his face paler than the hard ice on the ground.
"The void treasure seeker!!"
The Second Elder's voice was filled with disbelief.
"This is... this is one of Lord Dragon King's artifacts! Back then, the Dragon Temple was able to rise rapidly, and this treasure played a huge role!"
"How could it be in your hands?!"
This artifact had gone missing following the fall of the Dragon King after that world-shaking battle three hundred years ago.
Even the Great Elder didn't know its whereabouts.
How did this kid get it?
Lin Mo poked the red eyeball on the compass with his finger.
"Oh, you mean this."
"Before I came looking for you, I gave your Dragon King's residual consciousness a beating under that crappy White Bone Altar."
Lin Mo grinned, showing a playful smile.
"The feel was average, but the drop rate was okay."
"This compass dropped from him."
Boom!
The moment these words fell, the minds of the Second and Third Elders went blank.
Beat up Lord Dragon King's residual consciousness?
And it dropped?!
Their worldviews completely collapsed at this moment.
The supreme existence they were proud of, worshipped like a god, and even attempted to use to deter the entire continent,
Was actually defeated by a young man?!
Even if it was just a bit of residual consciousness, it should have been impossible!
"No... impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The Third Elder clutched his head and let out an extremely shrill scream.
"Lord Dragon King is invincible! How could an ant like you touch his great soul!"
The backlash from the collapse of faith was far more desperate than physical torture.
Seeing the two of them so devastated and nearly driven mad,
Lin Mo shook his head, expressing extreme contempt for the psychological resilience of these old bones.
"Fine, stop wailing like ghosts here. Go inside and join Hei Lin and the others for a game of mahjong."
Lin Mo didn't bother with nonsense and directly raised his right hand.
The three of them vanished into thin air.
The West Pole Ice Field instantly became silent, and even the wind and snow seemed a bit lonely.
Lin Mo clapped his hands and looked down at the bronze compass.
The blood-red eyeball on the compass spun once, then split into four faint red lights, pointing to four different directions in the Great Desolation.
Those were the remaining four peripheral outposts of the Dragon Temple that had been abandoned by the Great Elder.
"It's almost the New Year, might as well let you all have a reunion dinner."
Lin Mo put away the compass and was about to find the remaining four bases.
Suddenly, the communicator vibrated slightly, and a light screen appeared in front of Lin Mo.
"Lin Mo, did anything happen on your end?"
Shen Yunshang's face appeared, her expression clearly carrying a bit of exhaustion and worry.
She seemed to be worried about something.
"No, it went very smoothly."
Lin Mo said casually.
"That's good. If you really can't handle the Dragon Temple, don't force it."
"If possible, come back as soon as you can."
Shen Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief and spoke gently.
"The Dragon Temple... I've gutted their headquarters."
"All their high-level members are in my hands."
Lin Mo said calmly.
"Oh, oh! That's good!"
Shen Yunshang replied twice without even thinking.
"WHAT!!!!!"
Soon she suddenly reacted and let out a sharp scream!
Her dignified appearance vanished instantly!
The piercing sound made Lin Mo's ears hurt.
Lin Mo disgustedly moved the communication crystal plate half a meter away.
Shen Yunshang's high-decibel scream shook the precarious icicles in the ruined hall, causing them to fall with a clatter.
They smashed onto the ground, shattering into ice shards.
"Why are you shouting so loud?"
Lin Mo rubbed his ears.
"It's just taking out a headquarters, what's the big deal?"
On the other side of the communication crystal plate, there was a dead silence.
A full ten seconds passed.
"Lin Mo, something big just happened."
Shen Yunshang's tone instantly became extremely solemn.
"Just now, various natural disasters broke out simultaneously in all thirty-six regions of the continent."
"Seven dormant volcanoes in the Southern Desolation erupted in succession, and a three-hundred-meter-high black water tsunami surged in the North Sea."
"The law defense array beneath Core City has already shattered by fifty percent."
Shen Yunshang spoke very quickly.
"The Alliance Leader sent me a message."
"He said it's because the dragon heart deep in the Great Desolation suddenly went berserk."
"He is accelerating his resurrection regardless of the cost!"
Shen Yunshang's voice carried a hint of trembling.
"I originally wanted to wait until you returned safely to Core City to tell you, fearing you'd get distracted and have an accident alone outside. But..."
Shen Yunshang gave a bitter smile, her tone full of helplessness and shock.
"The Alliance Leader said something must have happened to make the Dragon King so urgent..."
"Since you took out the Dragon Temple headquarters."
"Now it seems the reason the Dragon King is in such a hurry is likely related to the destruction of the Dragon Temple headquarters."
Simply put.
The Dragon King panicked.
Shen Yunshang believed the reason was likely that he had cleared the Dragon Temple headquarters.
But Lin Mo didn't quite believe it.
Would the Dragon King really get anxious just because the Dragon Temple headquarters was destroyed?
Not necessarily.
Lin Mo tossed the compass in his hand, a smile flitting across his face.
The value of the entire Dragon Temple was probably not as high as this compass in his hand.
White Dragon King was likely unable to keep up his act because his treasure had fallen into Lin Mo's hands.
Shen Yunshang steadied her tone and said seriously:
"Lin Mo, since you settled the Dragon Temple headquarters, the Dragon King will definitely target you."
"But facing someone of the Dragon King's level, the Alliance probably won't be able to help you anymore."
"If you need anything, just tell me. If the Alliance can do it, we will definitely solve it for you."
Lin Mo waved his hand casually and said:
"You guys just look after Xiao Li for me."
"A mere Dragon King, I can destroy him with one hand."
Seeing Lin Mo's still arrogant appearance,
Shen Yunshang suddenly had a headache, and she said solemnly:
"Lin Mo, the Dragon King is definitely different from any opponent you've encountered."
"He is strong, unreasonably strong."
"You absolutely cannot underestimate him."
"It's said that he only took 30 years to reach the unprecedented level 3012! Extremely terrifying!"
"Although his strength here is suppressed to the Fifth Class Advancement,"
"But with his extremely terrifying King-level Profession growth, his basic attributes alone have reached over ten billion!"
Fear and apprehension flickered in Shen Yunshang's eyes.
"Level 3012? Interesting."
Lin Mo looked at his own panel: Level 3630.
Since his awakening, Lin Mo hadn't seriously leveled up for even a few days.
He didn't expect even the Dragon King to be level 3012.
It seemed his level 3630 was still too low.
It was time to level up!
"Is there anywhere to level up quickly?"
Lin Mo suddenly asked.
"Where do you usually go to level up?"
Shen Yunshang was clearly stunned.
"dungeons, of course. Experience from dungeon monsters is several times that of wild monsters. Don't you know?"
"I don't know, I've never been."
Lin Mo shook his head innocently.
To be honest, since his debut,
Since he killed two monsters at the start, he had never leveled up again.
You ask why?
Whatever he did casually, his experience would overflow. Why bother leveling up?
But now it was different.
Experience would never overflow again! It would only lead to infinite leveling!
