132: Chapter 132 Temporary Battery! King-Level Pursuit!

This ring looked incredibly exquisite.

The entire band was made of matte cold silver, and a teardrop-shaped light ice-blue crystal core was embedded on the top of the ring.

Inside the crystal core, there were natural frost flower patterns.

Just by being taken out by Bai Shuang,

a chill was already radiating from it.

A faint white mist lingered around it.

Just by looking at it, one could tell it was definitely no ordinary piece of equipment.

"This item is something I used in the past; its attributes are quite good."

"Since you've already called me Aunt Bai, I'll give this to you."

Bai Shuang handed the ring to Lin Mo.

"How could I accept this..." Lin Mo said, though his hands honestly reached out to take the ring.

He glanced at its attributes.

[Frost-Sealed Jade Ring]

[Type: Accessory]

[Grade: Gold-tier]

[Applicable Combat Level: Tier 2]

[Spirit + 20]

[Stamina + 30]

[Frost Aura: Passive skill. After equipping, a frigid frost mist surrounds the wearer, reducing Ice-type damage taken by 20% while weakening the Agility of nearby enemies by 10%.]

[Frost Essence Stabilization: Passive skill. Increases personal Spirit resistance and reduces the duration of crowd-control skills by 20%.]

[Lone Frost Spirit Lock: Active skill. Releases frost at close range to lock onto a single target, forcibly immobilizing them, freezing them in place, and preventing the use of skills for two seconds.]

[This equipment can be hidden at will after being worn.]

Whoa!

Lin Mo couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

The attributes of this equipment couldn't be described by just saying they were "quite good."

Although the four-dimensional attribute bonuses weren't as exaggerated as the soul-eroding thousand-silk armor, the attached effects were extremely useful.

Ice-type damage resistance, slowing down nearby enemies, and reducing the duration of control skills.

These were all useful traits for him.

Not only that, but it also had a powerful single-target crowd-control skill.

It could supplement his crowd-control capabilities!

If this item were put up for sale, it would probably be snapped up immediately.

After all, besides the very useful attached skills,

the key point was that it was non-binding equipment.

Once he was done using it, as long as it wasn't completely destroyed, he could still sell or trade it later.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mengxi also saw the equipment's attributes.

A look of envy appeared in her eyes.

Lin Mo put the ring directly onto his left hand.

As soon as he put it on,

he immediately felt a chill spread from the ring throughout his entire body.

However, this feeling didn't make him uncomfortable at all.

Instead, it made him feel energized, somewhat like the feeling of having one's state refreshed by the Green Lotus.

It was just much weaker.

Then, Lin Mo moved his mind.

The ring then hid and disappeared from his hand.

"Thank you, Aunt Bai!"

Having received the benefit, Lin Mo's tone became much more enthusiastic.

"You're welcome," Bai Shuang said with a smile. "After all, you are my nephew now."

"Just don't forget me in the future."

"By the way, did you come here specifically to look for me?" Bai Shuang shifted the topic to ask about their purpose.

Jiang Mengxi perked up, finally remembering the real business.

She hurriedly explained the ins and outs of the situation.

During this, she naturally mentioned the matter of Luo Li informing Lin Mo about the King-level Creature trap.

Bai Shuang couldn't help but look at Lin Mo a few extra times.

Previously, the intelligence she had received was only that there was a trap targeting King-level Creatures inside Mist City.

However, she didn't know the source of this intelligence.

She hadn't expected it to actually come from Lin Mo, who was standing right in front of her.

In a sense,

he could be considered her savior.

Otherwise, she would have likely perished directly in Mist City.

Bai Shuang's attitude toward Lin Mo became even friendlier.

After clarifying the two's intentions,

Bai Shuang nodded and first gave the two some reassurance.

"Zhou Ying's arrangement is correct. I can forcibly stabilize the teleportation channel, allowing you both to return to the training camp together."

A look of joy appeared on Lin Mo's face.

He could finally go home.

"But..." Bai Shuang changed the subject.

"It's not possible right now."

Jiang Mengxi's expression froze.

Lin Mo asked thoughtfully, "Is it because of your injuries?"

Bai Shuang nodded and explained further, "Yes, the situation with my injuries is more serious than Zhou Ying imagined."

"I need to recuperate for a period of time."

Jiang Mengxi couldn't help asking, "How... how long will it take?"

Bai Shuang estimated, "Probably close to half a month."

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Mengxi and Lin Mo's expressions became rather grim.

Having to stay in this Mist City for another half a month,

no matter how they thought about it, it felt unreliable.

Lin Mo spoke up, "Is there any way to shorten this time?"

Bai Shuang shook her head, "No. The items that can heal my injuries are all King-level materials. Even if they exist within Mist City, one would have to face other King-level existences."

"And my current state is extremely poor; I'm completely unable to accomplish that."

"Secondly, there are other King-level existences in Mist City searching for my tracks, so I cannot leave this place."

"Once I leave, I will be noticed by the King-level existences of Mist City."

Bai Shuang pointed to the surrounding walls.

Only then did Lin Mo notice that on the ground and the walls, a special kind of ice-crystal rune had condensed.

Clearly, Bai Shuang had hidden her aura by relying on these runes.

Lin Mo's brow furrowed even tighter.

There were still King-level existences hunting her outside?

Then, wouldn't continuing to stay in this Mist City be even more dangerous?

Seeing that both Lin Mo and Jiang Mengxi's expressions were somewhat bitter,

Bai Shuang seemed to think of something, and she shifted to say:

"However... although my injuries cannot be healed, there is another way.

"As long as there is a Tier 4 or higher BOSS-level crystal core, I can use the energy within it to open and maintain a teleportation channel."

"Just like... a temporary battery."

"That way, you can improve your strength first, and perhaps you might be able to attempt to complete it."

Although Bai Shuang said it this way,

she didn't hold any hope in her heart.

After all, with her unable to go out, Lin Mo and Jiang Mengxi were currently only at Tier 3 strength at most.

Wanting to deal with a Tier 4 BOSS was simply an impossible task.

Even if Lin Mo's physical fitness was outstanding, it was impossible to achieve.

However, Bai Shuang didn't notice that after she finished speaking,

joy appeared on both Lin Mo and Jiang Mengxi's faces.

"Aunt Bai, could you take a look at this and see if it works?"

Lin Mo took out Luo Li's crystal core from his Storage Pouch.

Bai Shuang was slightly stunned, and she subconsciously repeated, "It must be a Tier 4 or higher BOSS crystal core."

"Yes, this is a Tier 4 one."

Bai Shuang took the crystal core from Lin Mo's hand, half-doubting.

She observed it carefully for a while.

A look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"This is... really a Tier 4, Rank 7 BOSS crystal core?"

"The energy is very peculiar; it's a monster I haven't seen before."

"And..." Bai Shuang examined the crystal core.

She discovered that blood streaks could still be seen on it.

"It's very fresh; I can still smell the scent of blood."

At this point,

Bai Shuang couldn't help but look at Lin Mo and ask in shock, "Did you just obtain this? But... how did you manage to do it?"
