High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

"Speaking of which, given how harsh the environment is in the deep abyss, is there really any life that can survive here?"

Chen Mo frowned. Even he found the environment of the deep abyss somewhat unbearable, let alone those who were weaker than him.

"Actually, these are all things that are taught in the academic classes at the martial arts academy. Since we skipped a grade, we naturally don't know them."

He Miao did not sit idle during this period; she completed four years' worth of academic courses at the Martial Arts Academy in three days.

Her current knowledge base is quite extensive, perhaps even surpassing that of some martial arts academy teachers.

While ensuring the safety level of the surrounding environment under real-time monitoring, He Miao roughly explained Chen Mo's questions.

"We will start learning about Abyss Warriors in our third year of university, when the average level of warriors will be around level three, so we have an obligation to learn about it."

"The Abyss Warriors are very different from us, but they are somewhat similar to the Celestial Race."

"They are born as level two martial artists and also possess supernatural abilities similar to celestial divine powers."

"After so many years of understanding and observation, under normal circumstances, Abyss Warriors can easily become Level 5 Warriors when they reach adulthood."

"Compared to the somewhat 'weak' bodies of humans, Abyss warriors are born strong, but their cultivation speed after adulthood is not much different."

"Some scholars speculate that one of the reasons for this is the harsh environment of the deep abyss."

"A newborn baby cannot survive in the deep abyss without sufficient vital energy and blood."

"But after level five, the environment of the deep abyss is not so deadly, so the speed of getting stronger slows down."

He Miao's explanation was simple and easy to understand, and Chen Mo and the others nodded after listening.

"Then why don't they move to the shallow abyss?" Chen Mo was still puzzled. Since the environment in the deep abyss was so harsh, why didn't they move?

Although the environment in the shallow abyss is still not very good, at least we can grow vegetables now.

"There are no energy stone veins in the shallow abyss."

"There are only a few scattered low-quality energy stones in the middle layer of the abyss, which is completely insufficient to support the energy consumption of an abyss warrior city."

With just one sentence, Chen Mo and the others suddenly understood.

Although the technological level of the Abyss Warriors is somewhat backward, it is not too serious.

They have their own technology tree based on energy stones, and it's possible that energy stone veins only exist in the deep abyss, which forces them to choose to survive in such a harsh environment.

"What is that thing?"

Just as the group was making their way to their target area according to the map, Gu Feng suddenly squinted and looked into the distance.

A huge, pillar-like object that pierced the sky suddenly appeared in everyone's view, something that hadn't been there just a few seconds before.

"Run!"

He Miao immediately lost her temper and rallied Chen Mo and the others to charge in the opposite direction.

"Why are you running? What is that thing?"

Chen Mo and the others were completely baffled, having no idea why He Miao had such a strong reaction.

"That's the adult form of the Abyss Mother Tree, the kind that can move!"

"We'll move it underground!"

"Damn it!" Chen Mo and the others were also furious. So the Abyss Mother Tree in the Southern Island Abyss wasn't fully grown?

The difference is just too big!

Five minutes after entering the deep abyss, the group took off running, quickly moving away from the endless Mother Tree of the Abyss.

But there is something called curiosity, and Chen Mo has a particularly strong sense of curiosity.

As he ran, Chen Mo glanced back to try and check the base stats of the adult Abyss Mother Tree.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked. After seeing it, Chen Mo realized what it meant for curiosity to kill the cat.

[Values ​​undetectable; level difference too large!]

"What the hell do you mean by 'too much of a class difference'?"

Chen Mo's head buzzed. He could even see the stats of a level 13 Grandmaster!

[If the level difference exceeds ten levels, the base stats cannot be detected!]

Holy crap!

In other words, this adult Abyss Mother Tree is at least level 15 or higher.

"Run, you son of a bitch!"

Chen Mo's speed increased even further, surpassing the speed displayed on his attribute panel.

Although Gu Feng and the others didn't know why Chen Mo suddenly accelerated, they still did their best to keep up with him.

He Miao, the slowest of the four, is currently being carried on Yang Zuo's back, while four drones keep watch for any potential dangers around them.

But the deepest abyss is desolate enough, and the only danger around it is the adult Abyss Mother Tree.

After running for nearly 100 kilometers, Chen Mo and his group quickly hid in a crevice in a cliff.

"Wait a minute, that thing isn't chasing us, so why are we running?"

It wasn't until this moment that Chen Mo realized that the Abyss Mother Tree wasn't chasing them, so why were they running?

"The adult Abyssal Mother Tree has a perception range of 100 kilometers, and our current location is already within its perception range."

He Miao was quite frightened. She was a little girl who grew up in the laboratory. When had she ever seen such a thrilling scene?

"Once discovered by the Abyss Mother Tree, its underground root system will rapidly extend to capture us..."

"Then it's alright." Chen Mo nodded. If that's really the case, then they definitely need to run away quickly.

"Now I understand why no Abyss Warriors have been mining that vein..."

Gu Feng looked at the map in his hand, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.

"I understand now." Chen Mo nodded. With such a big guy around, who would dare to touch the mine beneath its feet?

"What do we do then? Are we just going to slink back like this?"

Ma Wanglin frowned slightly. Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing to go back like this?

"Don't rush me, let me rush first."

Chen Mo sat on the ground, looking at the Abyss Mother Tree, which was still clearly visible in the distance, pondering what method he could use to extract some ore.

Although random tasks have no time limit, the opportunity to complete them is right in front of you, so it would be a real shame to give up now.

"Don't think nonsense. Going to mine for minerals under the Abyss Mother Tree is pure suicide."

Gu Feng knew Chen Mo quite well; the moment he saw Chen Mo start thinking, he knew this guy was about to court disaster again.

"Shut up, let me think for a moment."

Chen Mo opened the system panel. He remembered that he still had one skill draw left to use, and he had about 10,000 gold coins left...

"How about we take a gamble and see if we can draw a useful skill?"

Once a person has the idea of ​​"taking a gamble," they basically can't escape this mindset.

Chen Mo was no exception; he took a deep breath and opened the lottery.

Unlike skill draws, which are drawn separately, the pool that costs 1,800 gold coins per draw mixes skills, equipment, and bonds together.

"Use it, it's just sitting there anyway."

Chen Mo gritted his teeth and used up the skill draw chances he had saved up for a long time.

The entire drawing interface transformed into a large roulette wheel, which began spinning rapidly the moment Chen Mo clicked to draw the prize.

Three seconds later, the roulette wheel gradually stopped, landing on a skill icon that Chen Mo wasn't entirely familiar with.

"What is this thing?"

Chen Mo tapped on the skill he had just drawn and discovered that it was a passive skill.
