Chapter 126: Chapter 121: The Twisted Nineteenth Day! (5/5)_1 With everyone else having left the dungeon, only Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue remained. Looking at the empty surroundings and the leaderboard, which now only showed two lit names, Chen Mo grinned and teased, "Well, now it’s truly a world for two." Yan Yingyue’s face turned slightly pink. She simply smiled brilliantly without a word. After the joke, Chen Mo got down to business. Now that he had the Thunder Spirit Pearl, he could finally create the Five Elements Spirit Orb. He opened the map, checked the coordinates, and immediately led Yan Yingyue to the destination. "According to the description, that place is where the Five Major Element Sprites converge. I wonder if we will encounter these five Element Sprites," Chen Mo said. "It’s best not to. I heard they’re quite powerful," Yan Yingyue replied, a bit afraid. Even though Chen Mo had been overwhelmingly confident in this dungeon, these five Element Sprites were no simple characters. Their strength was off the charts. Even Chen Mo wouldn’t dare to provoke them recklessly. 「About an hour later」 Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue arrived at their target location. Before them lay a formation pattern spanning a hundred meters in diameter, surrounded by five circular altars, their purpose momentarily unknown. Upon closer examination, Chen Mo discovered symbols inscribed on each altar: Flame, flowing water, wind, thunder, and earth. It didn’t take much thought to understand the meaning of these five altars. Chen Mo immediately took out the Five Elements Spirit Orbs and placed them onto the altars, matching them with the corresponding symbols. As the last of the Five Elements Spirit Orbs settled into its correct position... The ground suddenly trembled, and all five spirit orbs were absorbed into the altars. Simultaneously, pillars of energy flowed out from beneath the altars, converging towards the center of the formation pattern. When the five energy pillars gathered at the very center of the formation pattern, a brilliant light suddenly erupted there. A small orb slowly emerged and began spinning rapidly. As it spun, it gradually absorbed all the energy pillars emanating from the altars into itself. When all the energy pillars were completely absorbed, the small orb had transformed into a large, multi-colored one. It slowly came to a halt, hovering in the air. After waiting for three more seconds and seeing no other activity, Chen Mo finally stepped forward and reached out to touch this Five Elements Spirit Orb. "Getting a Legendary Level material isn’t easy," Chen Mo remarked. "I’m afraid that in the future, we’ll only be able to get this material after enrolling in a university." After storing the Five Elements Spirit Orb, Chen Mo carefully scanned the surroundings again. Wasn’t this place said to be the gathering spot of the Five Major Element Sprites? Why is it so quiet? The Elemental Energy in this part of the world was chaotic; the Five Major Element Sprites should have arrived by now. Or could it be that it’s not time yet, and they’ve only temporarily arrived in this area but haven’t started their gathering? Chen Mo wasn’t particularly interested in watching any gathering of Element Sprites; he was just curious. Since the dungeon is named ’Five Spirits Gathering,’ they must be up to something, right? It would be great if he could gain some advantage from it. Regrettably, there was no indication of that at present. However, they still had ample time. The maximum survival time in the dungeon was 30 days, and it was only day 16. In the following days, with no pressing urgency, Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue began to leisurely explore the dungeon. They occasionally discovered hidden missions and special BOSSes. 「Soon, it was the nineteenth day.」 Since no one had ever survived to the twentieth day, Chen Mo was very curious about what the nineteenth day’s survival mission would be like. Even the survival mission on the eighteenth day hadn’t seemed very difficult to him. Could there be such a huge leap in difficulty in just one day? As the nineteenth day arrived, Chen Mo received a hint from the Heavenly Dao. [Mission requirement: All remaining adventurers in the dungeon must collectively kill 1,000 Mutated Elemental BOSSes, which may mutate up to ten times each! All target BOSSes will be deployed simultaneously in 10 seconds! Real-time coordinates of all target BOSSes will be updated on the map. Furthermore, an additional 100 target BOSSes will be deployed every hour. Upon completion, all adventurers will be rewarded with a 10-day extension to their survival time. The adventurer who lands the killing blow on the final target BOSS for the mission will receive a hidden reward. At the daily settlement time, if all target monsters on the map have been cleared, all adventurers will receive a hidden reward.] "What the heck! What kind of mission is this?" "Heavens! What a sadistic mission!" After reading the mission description, Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue exclaimed in unison. At this moment, they finally understood why no one had ever survived beyond 19 days. It turned out the mission released on the 19th day was a huge trap! Even if the competition for BOSSes in past Five Spirits Gathering Dungeon runs wasn’t as fierce, it was likely that no more than twenty adventurers would be left by the nineteenth day. In such a situation, if a group mission based on all 100 adventurers still being alive was suddenly issued, it would be incredibly difficult for those remaining. For instance, only the two of them, Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue, were left in the dungeon, yet a perverse mission requiring at least a hundred participants was directly issued. However, even if the mission was disgusting, Chen Mo wasn’t intimidated. With his combat strength far exceeding that of this dungeon, killing a thousand monsters in a day was not an issue for him. However, wanting to clear all target monsters on the map by the settlement time would likely be very difficult to achieve. According to the Heavenly Dao’s hint, these monsters would be deployed randomly. Who knew over how large an area they would be scattered? If there were monsters in every corner of the entire map, with just Chen Mo’s and Yan Yingyue’s speed, it would be impossible to cover the whole dungeon in a single day. However, achieving the kill count for the last part of the mission wasn’t a big problem, so there was still a chance to get the hidden reward. Amidst Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue’s exclamations, the 10-second countdown quickly passed. In an instant, a large number of light spots appeared on the map. Clearly, the BOSSes had descended. Dealing with a thousand of them, even Chen Mo couldn’t complete it as quickly as before. Never mind how spread out the thousand monsters were; just the fact that each BOSS had a chance to mutate before dying, and could mutate up to ten times, directly caused the kill speed to drop drastically. After spending half a day, Chen Mo had only killed seven hundred of them. He couldn’t help but suspect that if the difficulty continued to increase in the next few days, his original plan to create a peak survival record of thirty days would likely not be easy to realize. Surviving for thirty days—that would be an absolutely unbreakable historical achievement! What young man isn’t a bit wild? Chen Mo also wanted to become famous. It’s just that the prerequisite for fame was ensuring his own safety. Although creating this record would be unbelievable, as long as others couldn’t detect anything special about him, he would remain safe. Moreover, he now had Yan Yingyue, this huge smoke bomb, accompanying him, which lent greater plausibility to everything.
