Chapter 44 Where is the person?! (4/5)_1
「On Chen Mo’s side...」
With the fall of the BOSS, cracks began to appear in the Rule Barrier, but it did not shatter instantly. A typical Rule Barrier would completely dissolve 5 minutes after the death of The Master of Mutation. Before that, it would appear to be progressively filling with cracks. Temporarily, the rules still held.
Inside the barrier, Mu Xing, who had been drawing closer to Chen Mo and the BOSS’s battle zone by following the explosions, was stunned motionless by the sudden sound of the great path. She had momentarily forgotten about investigating the battle ahead. Instead, she immediately opened the semi-transparent floating window before her and began to examine the achievement that the sound of the great path had announced—one that would bring benefits to professionals worldwide.
Impossible! Someone actually managed to complete such an achievement?!
After reading the detailed introduction of "The Lonely God of War" achievement, Mu Xing was utterly shocked. She found it incredible that someone could actually complete such a feat.
While she stood there, marveling at the details of the achievement, Chen Mo had already begun collecting the spoils of war. Since this Master of Mutation was in its Non-Rebirth form, it hadn’t dropped many items. However, due to undergoing one mutation, the quality of the dropped loot was well-assured. This time, the BOSS dropped a total of 8 items: 2 pieces of golden equipment, 2 rare items, 2 yellow Skill Books, and 2 bags of money. Noticing the Rule Barrier above him beginning to crack and wanting to avoid unnecessary explanations, Chen Mo didn’t immediately inspect what the Harvest contained, instead shoving everything into his backpack.
Then, he plunged into the forest, planning to feign being lost and cowering in fear when someone eventually came looking for him. After all, he had just achieved an under-leveled kill against The Master of Mutation and triggered the sound of the great path. Judging by the rewards and the information that had been broadcast, Chen Mo felt the impact was no less significant than the first time. It was always better to be cautious. He understood the principle that "the tallest tree catches the most wind." He wasn’t afraid of being outstanding, but being outstanding to such an outrageous extent was best avoided.
By the time Chen Mo had finished hiding, Mu Xing had recovered from her astonishment and remembered her mission. Just as she prepared to continue following the sound of explosions toward the battle site, she found her surroundings eerily silent. Where were the explosion sounds now?
Unconvinced, she pressed on, running further ahead. Within a minute, she reached the wasteland in the forest created by The Master of Mutation’s descent.
