Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

"The third level is level 17, I wonder what the fourth level will be?"

Mo Fan silently memorized the number.

Fire Dance Dragon Level 20.

If the threshold for the fourth level is level 21, then he can't get in yet.

But that's a story for another time.

At present, the level 17 threshold does not pose any obstacle for the three of them.

Mo Fan, Feng Ling'er, and Zhao Mingyuan passed through the light curtain in turn. The three pets followed closely behind.

The light curtain rippled open and closed again.

The structure of the third layer is largely similar to that of the second layer.

Several main branches radiate outwards from the center, slightly narrower than the second layer, but still easily wide enough for people to pass through.

The moss has almost disappeared.

On the exposed bark, a faint golden light flowed through the deep lines, as if some energy was being transmitted along the tree's veins to higher places.

The cocoa beans still hang at the ends of the branches and on the side branches.

However, the color has changed from the deep emerald green of the second layer to a color that is almost dark green with gold edges.

The flowing patterns on the surface of the fruit are clearly visible, and the energy fluctuations it emits can be felt even from tens of meters away.

"How much experience is each fruit on this level worth?" Zhao Mingyuan asked as he walked.

"You'll know once you pick it," Mo Fan replied simply.

The three chose a branch that stretched northwest and walked quickly forward.

The bark of the trees beneath my feet was rough and hard, making it very stable to walk on. There were no obstructions on either side, and when a gust of wind occasionally blew by, I could clearly feel the height.

About forty meters ahead, several dark green cocoa fruits were hanging on a cluster of side branches.

The quantity is less than that of the second layer.

But each one was a size larger and had a much richer luster.

The three slowed their pace.

It's not because of anything else.

It was because the air was distorted again at the intersection of the branches below that cluster of cocoa beans.

and--

This time, there were two areas of distortion.

Two beams of light condensed and took shape from the tree bark almost simultaneously.

After the first ray of light took shape, it became a growing fruit tree.

It has the exact same shape as the one on the second floor. It has a round body, a clump of lush green leaves on its head, and two vine-like arms hanging down at its sides.

But the moment the information popped up on the panel, Zhao Mingyuan's expression froze for a second.

[Growing Fruit Trees]

[Level: 20]

HP: 1400

Level 20. 1400 HP.

It's two levels higher than the one on the second floor, and has 400 more health.

The second beam of light then quickly followed and completed its formation.

It was a pet I had never seen before.

Chapter 77 The Money Tree

Its overall shape is also tree-like, but it's completely different from the "cute" appearance of a fruit tree. This thing is entirely golden, with its trunk covered in shimmering, coin-shaped leaves. Each leaf makes a crisp, tinkling sound, like a moving ATM.

Instead of a tree canopy, it has a small golden top hat on its head.

His eyes were squinted into slits, and the corners of his mouth were always turned up, giving him an arrogant "I'm the richest man" look.

The panel information is displayed.

Money Tree

[Level: 20]

HP: 1200

[Attribute: Grass]

[Hobby: Counting money until my hands cramp.]

[Description: He exudes an unabashedly wealthy aura.]

Zhao Mingyuan stared at the line of description for two seconds.

"...Counting money until your hands cramp? This thing is more to my liking than I am, but I'm just not destined for it."

Feng Ling'er ignored him.

Her attention was entirely focused on the two guardian spirits.

Two.

Both are level 20.

Total health: 2600.

The second level features a level 18 boss with 1000 HP. This level then transforms into two level 20 bosses, more than doubling their total HP.

Mo Fan glanced at the positions of the two guardian spirits.

The fruit trees grow first, the money trees follow.

They formed a simple array, one in front of the other.

But both are Grass-type – that hasn't changed.

The restraint remains.

"No change to the lineup," Mo Fan said, his voice low but his instructions clear. "Change the strategy."

Feng Ling'er's gaze shifted over.

Zhao Mingyuan also perked up his ears.

"Focus your fire on that growing fruit tree in front first." Mo Fan spoke slowly, but every sentence was calculated.

"1400 HP, three pets focusing fire, plus burn damage, it can be taken down in five rounds at most."

"Wind Chime, at the start, apply Smoke and Dark Curse to the Money Tree. Slow down its pace and prevent both of them from attacking at the same time."

"Zhao Mingyuan, the guardian dog remains the same—start with defensive power, then join me in fighting the growth fruit tree."

"Once the fruit trees have fallen, we'll turn back and take care of the money trees."

Focus fire on one enemy, and control the other.

Defeat them one by one.

This is the most basic strategy in multi-target combat—but the real skill lies in executing it cleanly and efficiently in actual combat.

"Understood," Feng Ling'er replied with only two words.

"Received!" Zhao Mingyuan's guard dog was already on all fours, ready to pounce.

Mo Fan's gaze fell on the two guardian spirits.

The vines of the growing fruit tree have slowly begun to rise.

The sound of the gold coin leaves on the money tree clattering together grew more and more rapid.

"Let's do it."

-

the other side.

The second layer.

While Mo Fan and his two companions had already broken through the third-level barrier and begun their battle, the situation on the second level was just beginning to get lively.

Elite teams from various factions successively passed through the level 15 barrier and stepped onto the second-level platform.

Quite a few people came up.

However, compared to the first level, the number of people on the second level has decreased again.

Roughly estimated, there are only about one hundred players in total who can pass the level 15 threshold.

The vast majority of them are members of various guilds.

Among casual players, very few can own pets of level 15 or higher.

Occasionally, a few exceptional lone wolves managed to sneak up, but surrounded by the guild's forces, they appeared extremely outnumbered and only dared to tuck their tails between their legs and slip away in the direction with fewer people.

However, so far...

No conflict broke out on the second floor.

At least not at the moment.

the reason is simple.

Although the second layer has fewer branches than the first layer, the number of cocoa fruits is still sufficient for the hundred or so people who have come up so far.

The various factions tacitly chose different paths and dispersed.

They kept their distance from each other.

No contact, no conflict, no probing.

Everyone knows that the most important thing right now is not fighting, but picking as many cocoa beans as possible and accumulating resources.
