Chapter 128 The Tracks of the Bloodfiend Knights

Nie Yan checked his taskbar, and there was a lead on the remaining piece of the Abak set.

He looked down at the task description. The remaining piece of the Abak set was in Flame City.

Task Progress: Ophiny of Flame City is a famous jeweler. He often buys rare jewels from all over the world and sells them. Recently, he acquired a piece of equipment. After identification, it was the Focus Legplates, one of the Abak set pieces, which made him very excited. However, he seems to have encountered some trouble recently.

Nie Yan looked at the task progress. It seemed he had to go to Flame City.

Just as Nie Yan was preparing to head to Flame City, news suddenly came from the Ni Ren Tribe that they had discovered traces of the Bloodfiend Knights!

This time, unlike the previous few times, the Bloodfiend Knights did not attack the Ni Ren Tribe first. Instead, they were discovered by a member of the Ni Ren Tribe's Thief group while leveling in the wild.

"What's the situation over there?" Nie Yan asked Guo Huai in a private chat.

"The Bloodfiend Knights are currently in the Abernathy Prairie area, grinding monsters in the center of the Golden Desert. At first, a Thief player called Shi Yi Yao Huo discovered them. He was worried about losing track of them and sent messages to Wu Dao and Qing Wa. Wu Dao and Qing Wa have already rushed over. The Bloodfiend Knights haven't discovered them yet! Wu Dao and Qing Wa said that the Bloodfiend Knights seem to be preparing to grind a Boss and probably won't leave for the time being. But we have to get over there quickly, or it will be difficult to find them again if they run away!" Guo Huai said.

Nie Yan frowned and pondered. The Bloodfiend Knights had a large number of random teleport scrolls. If Nie Yan and the others rushed over rashly and alarmed them, they would definitely use random teleport scrolls to escape. He needed to think of a perfect plan. Even if he couldn't annihilate the Bloodfiend Knights, he had to at least make them lose a few more people.

The Bloodfiend Knights were, after all, evil aligned players. It was inconvenient for them to operate on the surface. If their teammates were killed, they would have to return to the graveyard in the underground world if they didn't resurrect within half an hour. To cross the underground passage back to the surface, they would have to spend a lot of time.

Therefore, Nie Yan absolutely couldn't give them a chance to resurrect their teammates. This would disintegrate the Bloodfiend Knights and prevent them from causing trouble in the Gurun Land Empire, at least in the short term.

"How are you going to arrange it?" Guo Huai asked. He quietly waited for Nie Yan's reply, but as time passed, he couldn't help but ask.

"Have Sun, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, Xiao Rong, Yi Chui Ding Qing, and Ying Sha come with me first to meet the people of the Bloodfiend Knights. Let the others catch up later. Get me some magic scrolls of the War Shackles, the more the better. Distribute some to each member," Nie Yan said. To avoid alarming the Bloodfiend Knights, only these Thieves could go first.

"Okay." Guo Huai immediately contacted them and relayed Nie Yan's arrangements to everyone.

Nie Yan pulled up the friend interface and added Sun, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, Tang Yao, and others to the team.

System: Sun has joined your team.

System: Yao Zi has joined your team.

System: Yao Yao has joined your team.

...

As the team was established, the team chat suddenly became lively.

"Nihility Flame Boss, where are the people from the Bloodfiend Knights? I have to slaughter them a few times this time!" Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan said. He was a little restless when he heard that the members below had discovered traces of the Bloodfiend Knights.

"Listen to my command. All Thief members go first. Other members keep a distance of more than three thousand yards. They must not be discovered by their people, especially the Thieves. Their Thieves may be patrolling outside. If you get caught, it will be all for naught," Nie Yan warned. They had finally found an opportunity to deal with the Bloodfiend Knights and couldn't waste it.

"Understood," Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan and the others responded in unison.

"Also, there may be an inside agent in our Ni Ren Tribe. This operation is absolutely confidential! Don't mention it to anyone. From now on, put on your cloaks, hide your information, and absolutely don't let anyone know that we are collectively heading to O'Connell City!" Nie Yan seemed very cautious.

They all put on cloaks, hid their information, and quickly ran towards the teleportation arrays in their respective cities, then teleported to O'Connell City.

Guo Huai had people get a lot of War Shackles scrolls and gave Nie Yan and the others two scrolls each. The War Shackles scroll was very rare and extremely expensive. They only managed to get fifty or so scrolls in total, and it cost them a full three hundred thousand gold coins just to acquire so few scrolls.

A group of members of the mage, Paladin, and warrior classes stayed in O'Connell City, while Nie Yan, Sun, and others set off first.

They teleported from O'Connell City to the Ni Ren Tribe's small fortress in Abenathy called Paris. After leaving the fortress, they advanced towards the north and entered a place called the Golden Desert.

Nie Yan quickly connected to Fallen Frog's voice chat, "What's your current location, what are the coordinates?"

"Coordinates Golden Desert 38587.99085.8879," Fallen Frog reported a complex three-digit coordinate.

Nie Yan determined the location through these coordinates. The six of them activated Gale Steps and ran wildly in that direction.

After traveling through the sand-filled desert for about five minutes, a team appeared in his field of vision. The team of players seemed to be grinding monsters. There were many of them, and they had spread out their formation. One Thief after another attracted teams of desert giant lizards. After they reached the designated area, magic light streaked across the sky, all area-of-effect spells!

Seeing the wings on the backs of those players, Nie Yan finally confirmed that they were indeed members of the Bloodfiend Knights.

"What are your locations?" Nie Yan sent a message to Wu Dao and Fallen Frog.

Wu Dao and Fallen Frog each reported their coordinates. Nie Yan looked towards the south. The front was empty. His gaze fell on a position slightly farther away at 200 yards. He roughly knew the locations of Wu Dao and Fallen Frog. Wu Dao and Fallen Frog were still quite good at stealth.

Approximately one minute after Nie Yan arrived, Sun, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, and others also arrived one after another.

"Nihility Flame, we're here," Wang Zhe Tian Xia said in the team chat.

Eight Thieves were scattered outside, all in stealth, observing the Bloodfiend Knights' every move.

Under the dense magical bombardment, a group of desert giant lizards fell.

"Clean up," Bloodfiend said in the team chat.

Dark Shadow looked around and said, "I have a bad feeling. Something might happen today."

"We've been on the surface for so long and haven't encountered anything. Besides, the Century Financial Group and Angel Corp have planted so many inside agents in the Ni Ren Tribe. If they take any action, it will definitely not escape their attention. You're thinking too much," Bloodfiend said confidently. The Ni Ren Tribe had been played by them so many times, but they still couldn't do anything about it.

"Maybe I'm really overthinking it," Dark Shadow mocked himself with a smile. He just had a feeling of unease, but he couldn't put his finger on what the problem was. He hadn't detected Nie Yan and the others. Being so far away, it was impossible for him to discover Nie Yan and the others. The reason he said this was just because of a strange sixth sense, so even he didn't take it to heart. Perhaps he also felt that the Ni Ren Tribe had no way to intercept them.

"Bloodfiend Boss, everything has been cleaned up. Are we going to grind the Desert Giant Lizard Lord?" Shen Qiu De Leng Feng asked in the team chat.

"Grind a few more waves of desert giant lizards," Bloodfiend replied.

Hearing Bloodfiend's words, a group of Thieves went to attract monsters.

"I just received a video sent to me by a friend from the light camp. Take a look at it. The Century Financial Group actually didn't mention this at all. It's ridiculous," Dark Shadow said. He sent a video to Bloodfiend.

Bloodfiend watched it. It was Nie Yan's video of a solo duel against a Magic Mentor level NPC.

"If you were to face that Magic Mentor level NPC, what would be the result?" Dark Shadow asked, looking at Bloodfiend. Although he and Bloodfiend spent every day together, he still knew very little about how much strength Bloodfiend actually possessed, because Bloodfiend always liked to hold back no matter what happened. Ordinary battles made it difficult for Bloodfiend to display 100% of his strength, so Dark Shadow couldn't see through Bloodfiend.

Bloodfiend frowned and finished watching the video, then shook his head and said, "I am not that Magic Mentor's opponent."

Bloodfiend wouldn't lie on this kind of question. Dark Shadow couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that there was still a bit of a gap between Bloodfiend and Mad Rogue Nihility Flame.

Bloodfiend watched every detail of Nie Yan and Raphael's battle and became more and more alarmed. Mad Rogue Nihility Flame's reputation today was definitely not accidental, but relied on solid strength.

Watching the video, Bloodfiend gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. He understood that he would have to fight Mad Rogue Nihility Flame sooner or later. Mad Rogue Nihility Flame was definitely the strongest opponent he had ever seen. Estimating the odds of winning, his chances of winning would definitely not exceed 10%. Mad Rogue Nihility Flame was like an insurmountable mountain.

Bloodfiend smiled bitterly and felt a little dejected in his heart. He couldn't think of any way to defeat Mad Rogue Nihility Flame, unless he could further comprehend and advance the Silver Wings to Gold Wings. Perhaps there would still be a glimmer of hope.

He closed the video. In the short term, he still didn't want to fight Mad Rogue Nihility Flame.

After they killed some desert giant lizards, the entire team sat down to rest.

"Recover, prepare to kill the Desert Giant Lizard King," Bloodfiend said in the group chat.

The players who had consumed more potions were drinking potions, while only some warriors were still patrolling around, responsible for guarding.

"Nihility Flame Boss, they're resting in place. What do we do?" Wu Dao asked.

"Yao Zi, where have you guys reached?" Nie Yan asked in the team chat.

"About three thousand yards away from you," Tang Yao replied.

"Alright, prepare to make a move!" Nie Yan said. After he gave the order, eight Thieves entered stealth and surrounded the Bloodfiend Knights from all directions.
