Chapter 767: Chapter 372: Drop Protection! (Two in One)_1 As soon as he entered the mountains, Chen Mo’s Eye of Origin activated its "God’s perspective" effect, revealing the form of the venomous monster in the mountain’s spring eye. Shockingly, it’s somewhat similar to the Extreme Poison Seed I encountered during the SSS-level Realm Breakthrough Assessment at Level 10. It’s a seasoned toxic creature. Its Skills are also quite similar. If I were to challenge it while lacking in Divine Power, even the highest Divine Element would likely be useless. That’s mainly because its Skill mechanism is incredibly outrageous. The biggest difference between the time before becoming a God and after becoming a God is that before achieving godhood, merely having strong attributes doesn’t ensure an absolute advantage. One could be targeted and affected by an opponent’s various compulsory Skills, leading to a disadvantage in battle. After becoming a God, however, due to the influence of Divine Power, if one’s Divine Power far exceeds the opponent’s, one can gain a significant advantage. Unless the opponent possesses a top-tier eternal treasure. As for these native monsters of the World of Heavenly Element, they also possessed certain abilities. These abilities were similar to eternal treasures and could narrow the Divine Power gap by ignoring the influence of Divine Power. But Chen Mo’s Divine Power now equaled hundreds of thousands of units. This monster, located in the Second Region, had at most around 50,000 Divine Power. The gap was so great that it couldn’t be easily bridged. What’s more, this monster’s Divine Power hadn’t even reached the maximum possible for the Second Region. Chen Mo saw that this monster, which looked like a giant slime, only had just over 40,000 units of Divine Power. It’s almost on par with my Basic Divine Power; dealing with it will be extremely easy. With a single thought, Chen Mo promptly summoned a giant Bone Dragon. The next moment, he and the Bone Dragon appeared before the monster in the spring eye. Originally, this monster was enjoying the comfortable sensation of soaking in the mountain spring. Unexpectedly, when it turned its head, it saw two beings staring at it menacingly. It was instantly startled. After all, I possess a powerful passive poisonous fog aura. Never mind them getting this close; even at the foot of the mountain, anyone exposed to this poisonous fog would be in a dire situation! Some villagers of the Kaqiu Clan hadn’t been poisoned by the spring water; rather, several were poisoned by this monster’s potent poison when they went up the mountain to investigate the anomaly. Before the monster could comprehend why these two intruders could ignore its poisonous fog and get so close... The Bone Dragon had already struck. Its enormous skeletal dragon head rose high, a ghostly blue Flame swirling in its maw. The next instant, it unleashed its Death Breath directly onto the toxic monster before it. SIZZLE!!! Along with the sound of something rapidly evaporating from extreme heat, both the toxic monster and the spring water in the spring eye vaporized instantly under the dragon’s breath. Just then, Chen Mo moved swiftly. In a flash, he seized the monster’s inner core. Fortunately, the monster’s inner core and its physical defenses are not on the same tier. The monster’s Energy core is within its inner core, making the inner core the part with the highest Tenacity, thus not easily destroyed. Moreover, items like this, which are akin to loot drops, receive a degree of protection from the Heavenly Dao, preventing them from being destroyed by a single attack. Unless I specifically intended to destroy it, I would only need to amplify my attack’s effect to easily shatter this inner core. After all, the Heavenly Dao’s protection for loot drops isn’t very strong; it only offers temporary safeguarding. Its main purpose is to prevent an item from being destroyed in a single hit. If one were to attack it repeatedly with the intent to destroy, the Heavenly Dao’s protection would quickly vanish. Having resolved the issue with ease, Chen Mo dismissed the Bone Dragon. Holding the emerald-green monster’s inner core, he returned directly to the village. Meanwhile, Taya was at home, tending to her parents. Of course, her parents didn’t allow her near them, fearing the poison was contagious. They just asked her to leave food and water at the door for them to retrieve themselves. Since the village’s water supply was contaminated, Taya had gone out to procure some purer water earlier. Taya had just prepared some clean water and food for her parents and retreated to their courtyard gate. Before her parents could open the door to get the meal, Chen Mo had already reappeared beside her. "Lord Destined Person, why are you back so soon? Was the monster too difficult to handle?" Seeing Chen Mo return so quickly, Taya instantly had a bad feeling. Could it be that even this Lord Destined Person found the monster so difficult that he returned immediately, ready to abandon this task? The thought threw Taya into a panic. If even a Lord Destined Person is unwilling to take on this task, hiring the official Punishment Team from the Second Region to deal with this monster would cost far more! The Punishment Team only cared about money, nothing else. But this Lord Destined Person had agreed to accept items as payment instead of currency. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 Their village simply couldn’t afford to hire the Punishment Team to deal with such a formidable monster. Although this monster’s Divine Power Strength wasn’t top-tier within the Second Region, 40,000 Divine Power is still a considerable amount. Considering the monster’s extremely troublesome Skill characteristics, the cost to hire the Punishment Team to deal with it would be no less than hiring them for a monster with 50,000 Divine Power. Taya felt a wave of despair. If this dragged on any longer, many villagers would likely be poisoned to death!
