Lin Mo had long realized: once the main force of Divine Nation arrived in Inferno City, he wouldn't have the same freedom as now.
This was a double-edged sword.
If Lin Mo wanted to use the Divine Nation guild as his early-stage protective umbrella, he had to pay the price of his freedom.
Moreover, as the vice president of Divine Nation, he couldn't just hold the position and do nothing.
When the time came, following guild arrangements at all times would be a minor issue. The real problem would be being exposed under Ming Yuexin's watch 24 hours a day.
Lin Mo would no longer be able to do whatever he wanted, especially when it came to obtaining the magic scroll, Incubated Clone.
So right now, Ming Yuexin's message was undoubtedly a good thing for Lin Mo.
Since he was acting, he went all the way.
So Lin Mo pretended to be concerned and asked, ["What kind of trouble? Can I help with anything?"]
Seeing that at a time like this, Lin Mo was worried about her and the guild's situation, Ling Xue couldn't help but let out a breath of relief, "Looks like your heart is still on our Divine Nation's side. Those other guilds haven't shaken you yet."
So Ling Xue said, ["It's fine, I can handle things here. You don't need to worry."]
["Just stay in Inferno City and wait for me obediently. If anyone gives you trouble and you can't handle it, remember to tell me! I'll definitely keep you safe."]
'Hiss!', Lin Mo couldn't help but shiver.
'Alright, I'll wait for you. I'll sharpen my arrows and wait for you.'
With Divine Nation unable to come for now, it was a huge opportunity for Lin Mo.
Seizing this opportunity, after an entire afternoon, he finally teamed up with Ning Xi and killed five hundred Hell Hounds.
[Ding ~ Congratulations, you have completed the challenge and cleared Hall of Yama First Hall · Hall of King Qin Guang! Hall of Yama Second Hall, Hall of King Chu Jiang, has been unlocked! ]
"We worked so hard for half a day and finally finished it, why isn't there any reward?", Ning Xi couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.
Lin Mo said, "The rewards are in the third, sixth, and tenth halls."
From what Lin Mo knew: the Hall of Yama map hides three bosses, located in the Third Hall, Hall of Emperor Song, the Sixth Hall, Hall of King Bian Cheng, and the Tenth Hall, Hall of King Zhuan Lun.
Only by getting the first kill on the bosses of these three halls could one obtain generous rewards.
Aside from that, all other challenges had no rewards.
This was also why, in his previous life, many players were unwilling to spend time and effort to conquer the Hall of Yama, which led to the highest clearance record only reaching the Third Hall.
It wasn't that clearing the Hall of Yama guaranteed rewards. And the first-kill rewards of the third, sixth, and tenth halls were only available once.
But, once obtained, the rewards were enough to make someone rich overnight, wealthy enough to rival a nation.
"The reward for the Third Hall includes an SS-rank magic scroll."
"Then what kind of rewards would the Sixth and Tenth Halls have?"
Ever since he first saw the Hall of Yama three days ago, Lin Mo had already had this thought.
In this life, if he had the chance, he would definitely clear the entire Hall of Yama and claim all the rewards to see for himself.
At that moment—
Thump!
Ah Li suddenly jumped down from Ning Xi's shoulder.
As if sensing something, she dashed toward the Hall of King Qin Guang ahead, shrouded in darkness.
Lin Mo and Ning Xi said nothing and simply followed behind.
Roar! Roar!
Just as they approached the hall, several Hell Hounds rushed out from the surroundings, blocking the entrance and cutting off their path, baring their fangs at Ah Li.
This time, before Lin Mo and Ning Xi could make a move, Black Gold · Strong-Maned Pig suddenly gripped his nine-toothed rake and rushed past Ah Li, charging straight at the Hell Hounds that intended to harm her.
Seeing this, Lin Mo revealed a gratified expression like that of a proud father.
Ning Xi also sighed, "Didn't expect even Strong-Maned Pig knows how to care about someone now."
Lin Mo glanced at Ning Xi and frowned slightly.
'Why do I feel like that was aimed at me?'
'But I have no proof…'
Lin Mo assisted Strong-Maned Pig and quickly killed off the group of Hell Hounds blocking the entrance.
Before long, from inside the hall, a small brown fox suddenly darted out.
The little fox ran up to Ah Li.
Like family reunited after a long separation, the two little foxes nuzzled closely together.
Not long after, the brown fox turned into a beam of light and disappeared inside the Hall of King Qin Guang.
At that moment, Ah Li ran up to Ning Xi and said gratefully, ["Thank you, big sister, for saving my clan member."]
["From now on, Ah Li will do her utmost to protect you."]
Ning Xi picked up Ah Li and smiled, "I'll protect Ah Li too."
As soon as she finished speaking, a pleasant system notification rang in Ning Xi's ear—
[Ding ~ Congratulations on completing the Heavenly Fox Clan E-rank Hidden Mission · Redemption. Would you like to consume 187,850 reputation to increase the mission rewards tenfold?]
'Wait a second! 180,000 reputation for amplification?'
Lin Mo said doubtfully, "Even the A-rank hidden mission 'Eradicate Darkness' in Blazing Ember City only required 280,000 reputation for amplification. This is just an E-rank hidden mission, four ranks lower. Why does it need so much reputation?"
Ning Xi said, "The value of amplification is proportional to the reputation cost. That means this mission is worth that much reputation."
"After all, this is a race-exclusive hidden mission for the Heavenly Fox Clan. Its value should be higher than ordinary hidden missions."
Hell Arena plus Super God Arena, combined with her talent's hundredfold reputation bonus, had already allowed Ning Xi to accumulate quite a bit of reputation.
So Ning Xi didn't hesitate at all.
"Amplify!"
[Ding ~ Congratulations, you have obtained tenfold mission rewards: EXP +50,000,000 (EXP cannot be amplified)! Reputation +40,000 (hundredfold bonus)! Gold +3000! White Fox exclusive skill · Heaven-Burning Art +1 (due to the skill's uniqueness, it cannot be amplified tenfold. Converted into equivalent value: A-rank pet skill book +9)! White Fox exclusive equipment · Heaven-Slaying Blade +1 (due to the equipment's uniqueness, it cannot be amplified tenfold. Converted into equivalent value: random level 50 Tier 4 equipment +9)! ]
Whoosh!
A beam of golden light fell over Ning Xi's head.
Having already reached level 54 from killing Hell Hounds that afternoon, Ning Xi's level rose once again to 55.
For the first time ever, Ning Xi's level surpassed Lin Mo's.
And when Lin Mo saw these rewards, he was stunned.
"This white fox actually has exclusive skills and exclusive equipment?"
"As expected of the only divine pet in the entire server. This is just too overpowered."
Lin Mo didn't regret giving the white fox to Ning Xi.
But he was definitely envious.
No wonder the amplification cost of this mission reached as high as 180,000 reputation.
Just those nine A-rank pet skill books and nine Tier 4 equipment pieces alone made it worth it.
At the same time—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A burst of golden light appeared around Ah Li.
[Ding ~ Congratulations, your pet Ah Li's quality has upgraded from Normal to Elite!]
As the pet's quality increased, its talent rank also rose accordingly.
Lin Mo had long wanted to see how strong Ah Li's talent would become after growing.
So he looked at the talent panel of Ah Li shared by Ning Xi…
