"Mo Jin, be careful. The stairway limits your movement quite a bit."
After clearing out the rooftop platform and observing the building in the four directions, the duo moved to the only stairway leading down.
"Master, you must trust Mo Jin. I've become very strong now."
Breaking through to Tier Three, combined with prolonged combat and training, Mo Jin's combat power was indeed formidable as it claimed.
However, Mo Qingchen remained extremely cautious. The newbie trial dungeon was the defining Abyssal Dungeon of fate; any slight mistake could drastically alter one's destiny.
He had no intention of losing his promising future due to carelessness and ending up with a wasted life.
Moreover, he had deep-seated grudges yet to be avenged and couldn't resign himself to mediocrity.
"Move quietly. On the stairwell four floors down, there are three monsters sleeping. Our goal is the next floor; it's best if we don't disturb the stairwell monsters."
Mo Qingchen nodded at the slightly proud Mo Jin and quietly led it down to the next floor through the passage.
According to the signs on the stairwell wall, this was the 32nd floor. The door connecting to the stairwell lay in fragments on the floor, decayed beyond recognition.
Looking through the door, there was a several-meter-long corridor leading to a vast space behind it, with several storefronts visible.
A thick layer of dust had accumulated in the corridor, with several distinct footprints among it.
And in Mo Qingchen's spiritual vision, at the corner outside the corridor, there was a humanoid monster sleeping in the corner.
"At the left corner outside the corridor, five meters away, there's a humanoid monster sleeping. Let's quietly approach and eliminate it!"
Ever since advancing to Tier Two Beastmaster, Mo Qingchen could directly communicate mentally with his Guardian Beast using his Spiritual Power.
Unlike before, where communication required the Beast Taming Contract and even then, complex messages couldn't be exchanged.
"Watch me, Master."
Mo Jin nodded and walked ahead of the Beastmaster. The Great Needle Bee's light-footed movements looked somewhat comical, yet not a sound was made.
Mo Qingchen followed closely, and upon reaching the corner, he immediately used the Eye of Truth to observe the monster five meters away.
[Exotic Beast Name: Dwarf Aberrant Type]
[Talent: F (Deterioration)]
[Attributes: Evil Type]
[Level: LV35]
[Talent: None]
[Skills: Tearing Bite, Devouring Mutation]
[PS: A dwarf genetically aberrant mutation, consumed by madness.]
It's no exaggeration to say that the monsters inside Abyssal Dungeons are powerful; even the lowest F-level talent can reach Tier Three, LV35. Low-talent Exotic Beasts in the real world would feel utterly defeated.
Without needing Mo Qingchen's command, Mo Jin quietly approached the sleeping Dwarf Aberrant Type.
With a swiftness that was almost imperceptible, the Riding Spear easily pierced through its head, achieving a clean headshot.
[Prompt: Guardian Beast (Mo Jin) has killed Dwarf Aberrant Type (LV35), Guardian Beast gains 3500 Experience Points.]
[Prompt: Congratulations to the Beastmaster for the first kill, awarded Abyssal First Kill Reward: Supply Treasure Chest (White) X1.]
[Prompt: Killed Dwarf Aberrant Type (LV35), accumulated points: 35.]
[Prompt: Congratulations to the Beastmaster for opening the points leaderboard, current rank: 778,899.]
[Prompt: First leaderboard reward settlement will occur on the second day at noon sharp.]
[Prompt: The longer you dominate the leaderboard, the richer the Abyssal rewards you'll gain!]
A series of prompts bombarded Mo Qingchen, making him feel like he'd stirred up a hornet's nest.
"The first kill reward supply treasure chest seems like a beginner's perk, but are these points a bit low? Or are they based on monster level?"
After venting a bit, Mo Qingchen looked at the newly appeared points leaderboard on the Attribute Panel.
The Abyss announces the awakening date every year on June 1st, and after a month of preparation, forces entry into the newbie trial dungeon.
Across Blue Star, not even tens of millions, but 80 million newbies partake in the trials annually.
Despite a minor delay in the beginning, achieving the first kill in fifteen minutes with a rank within the top million indicated high kill efficiency.
Now, the aim was to intensively kill monsters to gather large points, and by noon tomorrow to dominate the rankings, thereby obtaining the Abyssal Reward: Abyss Summoning Scroll!
"Mo Jin, swiftly clear all the monsters on this floor!"
Earlier on the rooftop, Mo Qingchen circled around, assessing the building's surroundings while continuously extending the Spiritual Power's detection range.
He similarly probed the monsters on the subsequent floors below.
The top 32nd floor housed over twenty monsters, all of which were Dwarf Aberrant Types — posing no threat to Mo Jin.
Thus began the slaughter!
Mo Jin vibrated its wings and flew swiftly across the floor, locating and eliminating each monster.
Mo Qingchen also acted promptly, using Spiritual Power to pinpoint monster locations, then manipulated a new spike to hunt them down.
[Golden Essence Spike (Blue): Increases attack force by 30%, with Armor-Piercing effect (Tier Three), Additional Attributes: Power +3; Durability 45/45.]
This meticulously selected Abyssal Equipment was purchased from the official mall, costing Mo Qingchen a hefty 585 Abyssal Currency.
Enhancing Power, increasing attack force, and featuring Tier Three Armor-Piercing effects, it served as a potent weapon for Mo Qingchen.
Previously tested in the Evil Wolf Canyon dungeon on the LV39 Deteriorated Werewolf at the level's end, Telekinesis could easily pierce its flesh defense, leaving holes.
Even with Mo Jin using the Hard Armor skill to enhance its defenses, the spike still penetrated, creating a one-centimeter bloody hole. However, penetration wasn't achievable.
From 52 meters away, across several walls, stealthily assassinating monsters without exposing oneself was a breeze.
The one-man-one-insect duo's monster hunting efficiency was exceptionally high; within fifteen minutes, the 26 monsters on the 32nd floor were completely cleared.
The death of 26 Dwarf Aberrant Types resulted in Mo Qingchen accumulating 1,003 points, catapulting him to 99th place in the rankings, entering the top hundred.
"Didn't expect the Guardian Beast to earn over 100k Experience Points, leading to an unexpected bonus."
Gazing at the two Supply Treasure Chests (White) that Mo Jin had carried back, Mo Qingchen pondered deeply.
He truly hadn't anticipated that monsters in the Abyssal Trial Dungeon would even drop treasure chests.
Over twenty monsters dropped two Supply Treasure Chests, a rather decent drop rate.
Along with the first kill beginner's perk, the Abyss reward added one more, making a total of three in his possession.
"Let's test our luck and see what's inside these Supply Treasure Chests (White)."
