[Description: One of the components of the Archer Venomous Set]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The moment these three gold venomous pieces were equipped, the set skill was instantly maxed out—
[Immunity to All Poisons (8/8): All poison-type effects of the wearer are increased by 100%, and grants 100% poison immunity (completely immune to all poison-type damage and effects).]
[Special Effect: All enemies selected as attack targets by the wearer will automatically enter a poisoned state, losing 1 HP per second for 60 seconds. This effect cannot be dispelled and cannot stack.]
"Finally, it's all complete!"
Ever since arriving at the level-three main city, Blazing Ember City, two days ago, Lin Mo had been holed up in the Insect Nest Dungeon, racking his brains just to collect the Venomous Set.
At the moment he finally gathered the complete eight-piece Venomous Set, Lin Mo felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders.
He had to admit, a full set of Tier 2 Venomous gear really was outrageously strong.
Under the effect of the set skill Immunity to All Poisons, the special effects of all eight equipment slots were doubled.
And on top of that, the newly added forced poison effect from the full Venomous Set was nothing short of a god-tier skill for Lin Mo.
Because every single independent special effect on each Venomous piece could only reach its maximum potential when the enemy was in a poisoned state.
Therefore, "Before this, when killing monsters, if I wanted to trigger the equipment effects, I had to let the monster hit me first to trigger the poison counterattack effect from the Venomous Lock Armor, just to put the monster into a poisoned state. It was such a pain and a total waste of time."
"Now with Immunity to All Poisons forcibly applying poison, I won't need to take hits just to trigger poison anymore. This feels amazing."
Lin Mo opened the status panel and took a look at his attributes.
With the boost from a full set of level 20, Tier 2, gold-quality Venomous equipment, his stats had completely exploded—

[Description: This powerful… could it be cheating? Caution! The system will conduct focused data monitoring on you…]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Thinking you're strong is just self-indulgent fantasy.
But, when even the system suspects you of cheating, that's when you're truly strong!
"With these stats, plus the poison immunity from the Venomous Set, I've got at least a ninety percent chance of clearing the Shadow Holy Hall dungeon."
Lin Mo exclaimed happily.
As for why only ninety percent?
Because the remaining ten percent depended on the Dragon Soul Guild.
Because if they failed to hold the Shadow Gate when the time came, external factors could still cause Lin Mo's dungeon run to fail.
And aside from the archer set he was wearing, Lin Mo had also successfully collected the other four complete Tier 2 Venomous Sets.
To avoid affecting the upcoming operation and causing the plan to change, Lin Mo mailed the remaining three Venomous Sets, excluding the warrior set usable by Dragon Soul Aoshi, directly to Dragon Soul Aoshi.
This also counted as fulfilling the condition he had previously promised Dragon Soul Aoshi.
As for the extra Tier 2 loose pieces, Lin Mo sent them to Qin Feng and had him store them in the warehouse.
Although he couldn't sell them to Wang Junjie to strengthen an enemy.
Lin Mo could still sell these pieces to other players for profit.
But he understood clearly, "Before the value of those level 30+ poison-type dungeons within Blazing Ember City is fully mined out, the true value of the Venomous Set won't be completely reflected."
"Just wait a bit longer. Tier 2 Venomous equipment still has a lot of room to appreciate."
As for the large pile of Tier 1 gear, Lin Mo directly used his SSS-rank talent Soul Flame to incinerate all of it into Equipment Evolution Points.
Because the Venomous Set he was wearing had already completely drained all of his Equipment Evolution Points.
"By the time I clear the Shadow Holy Hall, my level should be around 30. It won't be long before the level 20 Venomous Set faces elimination again."
"I need to prepare early for the next set of equipment."
After incinerating over a thousand Tier 1 Venomous pieces, Lin Mo instantly gained more than 30,000 Equipment Evolution Points.
"Mm, looks like I won't need to worry about evolution points again for a while," Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.
Crash!
As Lin Mo crushed a Return Scroll, his body transformed into a beam of white light and vanished from the Insect Nest Dungeon.
There was only one dungeon attempt.
Lin Mo had to ensure a one-shot clear.
So he dared not be careless in the slightest.
He went to the potion shop and bought ten stacks of level 6 HP potions, and twenty stacks of level 6 mana potions.
Immediately after, he went to the warehouse and took out two Hearts of Shadow.
Only then did he head toward the direction of Shadow City.
———
[Shadow City]
Players from Dragon Soul and Chaotic World were still locked in a stalemate.
Inside the city—
After receiving Lin Mo's message, Su Muqiu immediately said to Dragon Soul Aoshi, "Boss, Rulebound is already coming over from the main city side."
Hearing this, Dragon Soul Aoshi immediately issued an order to Su Muqiu.
"When he gets here, take some people out to escort him into the city."
"Yes!", Su Muqiu acknowledged the order and immediately led a squad of Dragon Soul's elite players, making preparations to leave the city and receive Lin Mo.
———
At the same time, outside the city—
After several hours of waiting, Wang Junjie was gradually losing his patience.
"Damn it! Did those Dragon Soul dogs die inside or what? It's been so long and there's not a single bit of movement?"
"I want to see just how long you can hold out."
Just as Wang Junjie was about to go all in and fight Dragon Soul to the bitter end, suddenly, a subordinate came to report.
"Boss! At the east gate of Shadow City, a group of Dragon Soul players are trying to break out."
Hearing this, Wang Junjie's eyes lit up.
"Hahahaha!"
"Dragon Soul dogs, you finally can't hold it in anymore, huh?"
"When you snatched Shadow City from my hands before, weren't you pretty tough? Now you want to come out? Dream on!"
As he spoke, Wang Junjie barked an order to his men.
"Lock down every exit of Shadow City for me! Today, don't let a single Dragon Soul dog escape!"
"Yes!"
