Chapter 0 To be completely blocked by these mutated lords, Nie Yan activated the Jumper's Ring and leaped into the air, flying more than twenty yards.

At this moment, countless spells, like fireworks, shot up one after another.

Several druids immediately transformed from bear form into giant black eagles and soared into the air.

Dozens of spells roared up from below, about to strike Nie Yan in the next moment.

Nie Yan felt nervous. Could he not escape?

His gaze fell on a towering stone pillar not far away. He stretched out his left hand and shot out a strand of spider silk. The spider silk, more than ten yards long, stuck to the stone pillar. Then, with a sudden pull, Nie Yan flew horizontally through the air. The dense magic brushed past him, making him break out in a cold sweat.

Using the Crawling skill, small suction cups immediately appeared on his hands. With a snap, they stuck firmly to the stone pillar. Watching several giant black eagles swoop down from behind, Nie Yan crawled quickly like a gecko, quickly绕 to the back of the stone pillar, jumped out, and leaped dozens of yards away.

The mutated lords behind him rioted for a moment, chasing after Nie Yan, trying to encircle and intercept him.

These mutated lords moved extremely fast. Nie Yan had to use all his skills to shuttle through the ruins for nearly half an hour before finally shaking off the mutated lords behind him.

Nie Yan took a breath and hid among a pile of messy rubble. According to Bo Wu Wei Liang and others, there were not many guards in this area originally, but they gradually increased later. If there were only one or two mutated lords, Nie Yan could still deal with them, but with so many, even if Nie Yan had three heads and six arms, he couldn't do anything.

The mutated lords searched everywhere. When they didn't find any trace of Nie Yan, they finally dispersed slowly.

Bypassing this ruined area, Nie Yan continued to grope his way inside. Everywhere was ruins, and every few moments, he would encounter some level 180 mutated lords, patrolling everywhere.

These mutated lords had strong reconnaissance abilities. Nie Yan had to hide carefully, and only dared to continue forward after they had gone far away, sometimes having to waste more than half an hour.

Almost the entire day was wasted here. Nie Yan slowly passed through the outer hall and arrived at the edge of the inner hall. The towering stone pillars ahead appeared in Nie Yan's field of vision, only a hundred yards away. These stone pillars, which were fifty or sixty yards high and required five or six people to encircle, gave people a strong visual shock.

The steps at the entrance of the inner hall led upwards, out of sight.

Nie Yan walked past a corner and looked towards the entrance. There were as many as sixty or seventy mutated lord-level guys standing on the steps, gathered in twos and threes, talking to each other.

In order to avoid being discovered, Nie Yan immediately retreated and counted, "...sixty-seven...seventy-three, seventy-three in total, this is troublesome." With so many mutated lords guarding here, it was very difficult for Nie Yan to sneak past them unnoticed, and he would inevitably have to engage them in battle.

Nie Yan couldn't help but feel a headache. What method could he use to avoid them?

After thinking for a long time, Nie Yan's gaze fell on one of the skills in the skill bar, Disguise!

This skill might be useful, but he had to hunt down a level 180 mutated lord first!

If it was just a one-on-one fight, Nie Yan could still kill a level 180 mutated lord, but the mutated lords here were often in groups. Where could he find a lone mutated lord?

Nie Yan wandered through the ruins, searching everywhere. He could only try his luck. Until he went offline, he had no harvest.

During the day, Nie Yan went to class with Xie Yao for a day as usual. After returning in the afternoon and having dinner, he entered the game again.

Nie Yan continued to search in the ruins. He still hadn't encountered a lone mutated lord. These mutated lords were always in pairs at least. However, he did have some surprising discoveries. A silver-gray treasure chest was quietly left in the corner of the ruins, covered with dust and rubble.

Although it was hidden very well, Nie Yan still found it. Nie Yan walked towards the treasure chest and squatted down. Because of the dust and rubble, he couldn't see clearly what it looked like. He reached out and brushed away the dust and rubble on it, and its original appearance slowly revealed itself.

It was a dark green treasure chest. He looked at its level, it was sub-legendary.

Nie Yan began to open the treasure chest.

System: Treasure chest opening, completion...35%...67%...

With a click, the treasure chest opened.

Nie Yan reached into the treasure chest and groped around, taking out a black book from inside.

It was a skill book!

There was nothing else besides this skill book.

Nie Yan looked at the attributes of this skill book. It was a thief's skill book.

Extremely Effective Concealment: Sub-legendary skill, concentrates the breath in a short period of time, concealment effect +300%, lasts 5 seconds, skill cooldown time is twenty minutes, skill is upgradeable.

Nie Yan looked at the effect of this skill and revealed a hint of surprise. He had always wanted to find a skill that enhanced the concealment effect, but the effects of those skills were not ideal, and he finally eliminated them. This Extremely Effective Concealment skill was good. If he used such a skill when sneaking close to an enemy in battle, it would definitely have unexpected results.

Nie Yan placed the Extremely Effective Concealment skill book in the palm of his hand, a white light lit up, the Extremely Effective Concealment skill book disappeared, and there was a new skill in his skill bar.

After learning the Extremely Effective Concealment skill, Nie Yan continued to wander around here, looking for a lone mutated lord.

Time passed quickly. For five or six hours, although Nie Yan didn't find a lone mutated lord, he did have some unexpected discoveries. He found the library that Bo Wu Wei Liang mentioned. The entire library building was dilapidated. There were many books inside, and the books described many unknown secrets.

Looking at the books on the bookshelf, these books were covered with thick dust. He didn't know what materials they were made of, but they hadn't rotted. Nie Yan took out one of them, trying to put it in his backpack so he could read it slowly later, but he received a system prompt.

System: This book cannot be placed in the backpack.

The books here can't be taken away!

Nie Yan hesitated for a moment in front of the bookshelf. Since there was still plenty of time, he might as well read more information here. He looked through the catalog, searching for all the texts with keywords related to the Goddess of Life, Abak, and Godhood, quickly browsing and flipping through them, absorbing as much information as possible into his mind.

It was unrealistic to deal with the affairs of the Temple of the Goddess of Life and get the Abak's Focusing Legguards in a short period of time. Nie Yan simply calmed down and slowly thought of a way.

He spent a whole day in the library. When it was time to go offline, Nie Yan quit the game. He had read many legends related to the Temple of the Goddess of Life and planned to continue sorting out all the clues related to the Temple of the Goddess of Life tomorrow.

Coming out of the game, today was the weekend. There was a day off, and he could go out with Xie Yao. He looked outside and the weather was very good.

Nie Yan went to the garage, got in his Soron, and looked at the time on the car computer, July 8th.

For some reason, his heart was jumping inexplicably, as if something was about to happen.

It was a very bad feeling. Nie Yan didn't know what the problem was, what was wrong?

The Soron drove to the ground. Xie Yao opened the car door, sat in, and showed a sweet smile: "Where are we going?"

"Let's just wander around." Nie Yan looked a little absent-minded.

"Nie Yan, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Xie Yao quickly noticed Nie Yan's strangeness and asked with concern.

"No." Nie Yan shook his head uncomfortably.

"If you're not feeling well, we'll just stay home and rest." Xie Yao looked at Nie Yan gently. She reached out and touched Nie Yan's forehead, and he didn't have a fever.

"Let's go to the beach." Nie Yan said. He didn't want to spoil Xie Yao's fun, stepped on the accelerator, and the Soron sped past.

The two played on the beach for a morning, and were about to find a restaurant nearby to eat when Nie Yan's phone rang. For some reason, this call made his heart jump inexplicably. He looked at it, it was Guo Huai. It might be something related to the guild, Nie Yan thought.

"Guo Huai, what's the matter?" Nie Yan asked.

"This morning, Yao Zi and I had a gathering with some friends in Hua Hai Ming Yue Zhi Chun. One of his friends asked him out, but when I called him at noon, no one answered. His phone hasn't been turned on for three hours. I'm a little worried..." Guo Huai said.

Hearing Guo Huai's words, Nie Yan suddenly became nervous, as if some thoughts in his heart had suddenly been confirmed, and a strong sense of unease surged up instantly.

"Did he say where he was going?" Nie Yan interrupted Guo Huai anxiously.

"It seems like he was going to some bar. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist his friend's invitation, so he agreed to go. He wanted to call you before he went, but then he didn't." Guo Huai said. He noticed that Nie Yan's tone was a little wrong and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"That guy, I told him not to go to bars!" Nie Yan cursed in frustration, his heart convulsing violently. Yao Zi must not have anything happen to him! He manipulated the Soron and made a sharp turn, heading towards Hua Hai, but even at the fastest speed, it would take more than two hours to get to Hua Hai from here!

Hearing Nie Yan say this, Guo Huai also felt that something was wrong. He said, "I'll send someone to find Yao Zi immediately. Damn it, if anyone dares to touch Yao Zi, I, Guo Huai, will never let him go!"

Guo Huai hung up the phone and arranged for people to go.

"Nie Yan, what happened?" Xie Yao looked at Nie Yan with some doubt. She had heard something from Nie Yan and Guo Huai's phone calls.
