Ice Snow: Extreme Cold Grasp!
Annihilation: Storm Arrow Rain!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
This time, he switched to a control plus ultimate combo.
With two SSS rank skills chained together, the eight bandits ahead were instantly wiped out.
And while the ultimate was on cooldown, Lin Mo continued using his other two SSS rank skills, Burning Heavens · Spark Ignites the Plains plus Heaven Slaying, Seven Star Volley, to combo.
On the surface, these two were single target skills.
But in reality, both could also be used as AOE skills.
So using them together for group farming was extremely effective.
Puchi!
A fire arrow burning with blazing flames fell from the sky, piercing straight through a bandit's body—
-12096 (Critical)!
-2419 (Burn)!
The ultra high single target burst damage instantly killed a full HP bandit in one shot, while igniting a ring shaped fire domain with a 50 yard radius on the surrounding ground, causing the other three nearby bandits to suffer over 2000 burn damage per second.
At the same time, the Burning Heavens · Spark Ignites the Plains skill effect triggered, increasing basic attack and skill damage dealt to burning enemies by 30%.
The next moment, a golden pentagram array bloomed in the air. Seven star bolts descended like thunder, continuously piercing through the bodies of those three bandits.
In the blink of an eye, all three bandits were shot dead.
The monster clearing efficiency of this skill combo was a bit inferior to the previous ultimate combo.
After all, even though they were all SSS rank skills, an ultimate was still an ultimate.
Something ordinary SSS skills simply could not compare to.
Watching Lin Mo unleash a dazzling chain of skills and instantly kill more than ten bandits, the youngsters from ZhuFeng Studio in Ning Xi's team were immediately shocked to the point of questioning their lives.
"My god! Rulebound is just… way too terrifying!"
On the other hand, Skinny Monkey, Fat Dahai, and the others remained calm.
Was Lin Mo's strength not enough to shock them?
No. They were already numb.
"Look at them, like they've never seen the world."
As Fat Dahai said arrogantly, Skinny Monkey added, "Don't laugh. Remember when we first started following Senior Lin Mo? Our reactions were way crazier than theirs."
Ling Xiao and the others were currently only around level 25.
Killing monsters nine levels higher allowed their five person team to gain as much as 110% combat experience.
The tens of thousands of experience provided by those dozen bandits instantly caused their experience bars to surge upward.
Killing a group of small mobs somehow gave them the illusion of killing a high level elite boss.
On the other side, Ning Xi's team's killing speed wasn't as outrageous as Lin Mo's. Their style was gentler.
Relying on the tenfold damage bonus brought by the SSS rank talent Nine Five Supreme, each of Ning Xi's basic attacks was equivalent to an SSS rank single target skill.
If Divine Oracle had SSSSS rank skills, then Ning Xi's E rank skills could be treated as SSSSS rank.
However, according to the official data released by Divine Oracle, there had been no announcement so far regarding any skill quality above SSSS.
Basically, three basic attacks from Ning Xi, or two skills, were enough to easily solo a bandit.
Thus, a captain showdown began between the two teams.
Lin Mo's team, "Looking at it this way, our captain Rulebound is still stronger."
"Of course! Senior Lin Mo is YYDS!"
Ning Xi's team, "Sister Liuli is only level 20! I think if she were the same level as Rulebound, she'd definitely be stronger."
"Level 20 soloing level 34 mobs! Liuli! I'm totally your idol! No wait, you're totally my idol!"
Although compared to Lin Mo, Ning Xi was indeed a bit inferior,
Lin Mo knew that Ning Xi was only losing in hardware.
Lin Mo was level 32, sitting at the top of Blazing Ember City's level rankings, while Ning Xi was only level 20, at the level of a third tier player.
Lin Mo had full SSS rank top tier skills, while Ning Xi was running all E rank trash skills.
Lin Mo had full golden divine gear, while Ning Xi had all green to purple equipment.
If all that hardware were brought up to par, Ning Xi's strength would absolutely surpass Lin Mo by several times.
Of course, not keeping up in hardware was actually the most normal thing.
If any player could keep up with Lin Mo's hardware strength, then Lin Mo's one of a kind SSS rank talent, Soul Flame, would be useless.
And at least Ning Xi had an A rank skill Shadow Storm and a full Tier 2 Venomous set. Compared to other players at this stage, her hardware was already much better.
Looking at Ning Xi, who was only level 20 yet already capable of holding her own, Lin Mo felt gratified, 'It's mainly the equipment that's lacking.'
'I need to help her raise the equipment quality.'
And Lin Mo remembered very clearly, 'In the Snake King Island dungeon, there's a rare resource you can obtain, snake gall. It can be used to upgrade the quality of any poison type equipment. As long as you have enough snake gall, you can even raise equipment quality all the way to gold.'
'When we go to Snake King Island, I absolutely have to help you upgrade a full set of golden Venomous gear.'
Only then could a true empress be born.
Thinking this, Lin Mo accelerated his bandit slaughter.
He urgently wanted to complete the City Lord's assessment quest as soon as possible, get the Command Token from him, and obtain military authority.
Then, he would take Ning Xi straight into the Snake King Island dungeon.

Meanwhile—
[Level 32 dungeon, Snake King Island]
Boom! Rumble! Boom! Rumble!
Thunder and lightning flashed across the sky, rain pouring down in torrents.
Endless gloom shrouded an island in the vast sea.
On the island, Wang Junjie, together with four Chaotic World Guild elite players all equipped with level 20 Tier 2 Venomous sets, was killing venomous snakes and pushing the dungeon.
Whoosh!
With a swing of his sword, the level 26 warrior Wang Junjie finished off a level 32 venomous snake that his teammates had already worn down.
Boom! Rumble! Boom! Rumble!
As the ground shook violently, snake swarms emerged.
"AHHHH!"
A scream rang out.
The healer at the back, Chaotic World Milk Daddy, was surrounded by dozens of venomous snakes and was bitten to death in an instant.
From all directions, countless venomous snakes closed in.
Watching the remaining three teammates get bitten to death one after another, Wang Junjie stared at the dungeon quest progress bar in front of him. It had only reached 17%.
Grinding his teeth, he cursed, "Damn it! This is so hard! How the hell are you supposed to clear this?"
"RNM!"
Amid a pig like scream, Wang Junjie was swallowed by the snake swarm and soon turned into white light, disappearing from the dungeon.
———
[Blazing Ember City, Revival Spring]
Whoosh!
White light fell, and Wang Junjie and his four teammates appeared in the spring at the same time.
"Trash! Facking trash!"
Wang Junjie kicked each of his underlings one by one, knocking all four of them into the spring.
Shouting at them in fury born of disappointment, "You can't even clear a dungeon after three runs. What the hell do I keep you for?"
"You made me lose levels again! Again! Fack!m!"
"And this Venomous set! Didn't you say it could be used for dungeons? Used my ass! I collected so many Venomous sets for nothing!"
The underlings dared to be angry but not speak.
"Brother Jie, the main problem is that our Venomous set quality is too low. They're all white and green quality, basically useless."
At the same time, Chaotic World Zhuge sent a message, "Brother Jie, don't run the dungeon for now to avoid bigger losses. I've already checked. The snake gall inside the Snake King Island dungeon can be used to upgrade the quality of Venomous sets. I've organized the brothers to run the dungeon and collect snake gall."
"Once we have enough snake gall, we'll focus on upgrading your Venomous set to gold quality. Then we'll definitely be able to clear the dungeon in one go."
Wang Junjie was still fairly willing to listen to Chaotic World Zhuge.
Because in a sense, Chaotic World Zhuge was like his brain.
"Then hurry up and collect that snake gall for me!"
"I have to get the first clear of Snake King Island!"
On the other side, Wang Junjie opened his friends list again and sent a message to "Wind Whistling."
["Where is Rulebound?"]
