Chapter 171 Pasternostes War Hammer

The demon slaughterer attacked madly, like an enraged beast, and the thieves were beginning to falter.

"Boss, hurry!"

"We can't hold them back any longer!"

Nie Yan quickened his pace and finally approached the central altar. After being bombarded by thousands of magic damage bombs, the altar was partially damaged, but the main structure was still intact.

It was a platform, about two or three yards higher than the square, in the shape of a circle, with a lifelike demon image carved on it. The hideous face, sharp fangs, and cold eyes were all incredibly realistic. This demon pattern was the totem of the Dark Elf tribe.

Nie Yan walked to the center of the altar. In the very center was a small pit.

He immediately thought of the treasure key in his backpack. This key should fit into this pit.

Nie Yan took out the treasure key and slowly inserted it into the hole. The size was just right, a perfect fit.

With a creak, the entire altar slowly began to move, the central rock slowly moving away, and a rectangular box slowly rose up.

This box seemed to be from an unknown era. It was very old, and the box had been severely worn.

However, when the box appeared, a powerful force came rushing towards them.

It was a very pure force, awe-inspiring.

The contents of this box were definitely not simple.

Without a lock, Nie Yan walked up and began to open the treasure chest.

Just as Nie Yan touched the treasure chest, the demon slaughterer in the distance felt something. He turned back to look at the altar and saw Nie Yan opening the treasure chest. It let out a low roar, and the great sword in its hand seemed to sense its anger, suddenly rising with scorching flames.

Flapping its wings, with a swoosh, the demon slaughterer rose into the air and pounced towards where Nie Yan was.

"Boss, be careful!"

"Boss, the demon slaughterer is coming!"

Exclamations rang out in the group chat.

Nie Yan opened the treasure chest. Before he could see what was inside, he heard the exclamations in the group chat. He looked up and saw that the demon slaughterer had already pounced.

Too late!

Without a moment's hesitation, Nie Yan reached into the box. A cold object entered his palm. He didn't know what it was, but he could feel that it was made of metal. He didn't know what kind of metal, but the coldness sent a shiver down Nie Yan's spine.

The object was very heavy in his hand. After picking it up, he didn't have time to pick up anything else.

Nie Yan threw it into his backpack. There was definitely more than just this one item in the treasure chest. Just as he was about to reach out to grab something else, it was already too late.

The demon slaughterer was already close at hand. It swung its great sword, and a sword aura struck down.

Seeing that this sword aura was about to engulf him, Nie Yan decisively gave up. He didn't continue to take anything from the treasure chest and used a Shadow Dance to dash out.

With level 18 Shadow Dance, Nie Yan's figure flashed past.

The sword aura swept across Nie Yan's body, and a large "miss" floated above his head.

The demon slaughterer accelerated its pursuit behind Nie Yan. Its whole body was enveloped in a red flame. Nie Yan stealing the contents of the treasure chest had triggered its anger, and now all its hatred was focused on Nie Yan.

While the invincibility time was still in effect, Nie Yan moved his right hand and a random teleportation scroll appeared in his hand. He crushed it directly.

Using a random teleportation scroll while invincibility time was still in effect made it difficult to be caught.

With a flash of light, Nie Yan disappeared from the spot.

"Damn human, you actually stole the Pasternostes War Hammer! You will pay the price for this!" the demon slaughterer spat out in broken Common, spread its wings, and soared into the air, flying south.

"Everyone, retreat temporarily!" Nie Yan said in the team chat. He didn't know where he was at this time. The surroundings were a green field.

"Boss, the demon slaughterer flew away, probably preparing to continue hunting you down. Run quickly," Fallen Frog said anxiously in the team chat.

The demon slaughterer still wanted to hunt him down?

Nie Yan was slightly stunned. It seemed that he was going to start running for his life. He suddenly thought of something and said in the team chat, "The contents of that box haven't been taken out yet. You guys take out the contents of that box, resurrect your teammates, and then wait for me in the Orc King City."

"Yes."

Fallen Frog began to maintain order, letting the priests resurrect the warriors who had just been killed. After taking a look, all his teammates had been resurrected. He walked towards the treasure chest in the center of the altar.

After Nie Yan took the Pasternostes War Hammer from the treasure chest, he didn't even have time to close the treasure chest. He reached into the treasure chest.

Soon, he felt three legendary-grade equipment pieces and a blue rhombus crystal in the treasure chest. After taking a look, this thing was called a Broken Shard of Divinity. He didn't know what it was for.

After confirming that there was nothing else in the treasure chest, Fallen Frog sent a message to Nie Yan, "Boss, everything's been obtained."

"What's in there?"

"Three pieces of legendary equipment, but they're limited to use by Elves, and a strange crystal," Fallen Frog said in the team chat.

"Give those three pieces of legendary equipment to Sanjie Buliu. Anyway, we can't use them. What is that crystal?" Nie Yan asked. He was very strange. Why would Fallen Frog describe it as a strange crystal?

"This crystal is called the Broken Shard of Divinity. There's no description of its use on the introduction."

"Broken Shard of Divinity?" Nie Yan was stunned for a moment. He remembered that he also had a crystal in his backpack, also called the Broken Shard of Divinity, which he had obtained when he advanced to Holy Shadow Dancer.

Finding Broken Shards of Divinity in two places at the same time, Nie Yan immediately felt that this thing was not simple.

"Leave that crystal for now, and give it to me when I get back," Nie Yan said. He was going to explore what this thing was used for. Now that he had obtained the second one, he wondered if there would be any new clues.

After hanging up the voice call, Fallen Frog walked towards Sanjie Buliu, Su Youyou, and the others.

"Hello," Fallen Frog greeted.

"Hello," Sanjie Buliu replied.

"Our boss asked me to give you these three pieces of equipment, and the shamans' wages for today are also given to you. Please distribute them on my behalf." Fallen Frog traded the equipment and some gold coins in his hand to Sanjie Buliu.

Sanjie Buliu said with some shame, "We didn't help at all here. I'm really embarrassed to take these three pieces of legendary equipment. Let Guild Leader Nirvana take them back."

"This is what Guild Leader Nirvana told me to do. Please accept them. We can't use these three pieces of equipment either."

If ordinary players saw three pieces of legendary items, they would definitely want to take them for themselves. Sanjie Buliu was not very greedy. Fallen Frog had a good impression of Sanjie Buliu and the others.

Under Fallen Frog's strong request, Sanjie Buliu accepted the three pieces of legendary equipment, more than 20,000 gold coins, and more than 50 rebirth emblems.

Nie Yan was still quite generous.

Looking at the more than 300,000 gold coins that Nie Yan had given him earlier in his backpack, Sanjie Buliu suddenly made up his mind. Since Nie Yan was determined to create a branch guild in the Satrinr Empire, he would do his best to help Nie Yan.

After everything was settled, everyone opened their return scrolls and returned to the Orc King City, leaving behind a mess.

After a while, several Elf thieves arrived here. They were all a little surprised when they saw the scene here. The central square was covered with traces of flames, and it was destroyed beyond recognition. One could imagine how intense the battle was just now.

These Elf thieves searched around, but the battlefield had been cleaned, and nothing was left behind. They walked to the center of the altar. The altar was cracked into pieces, and a huge box was placed in the center. The box was open, and it was empty.

They immediately sent a message to Angel Wing.

"What's the situation on your side?" Angel Wing asked in a private chat.

"Just now, because of Crazy Thief Nie Yan's golden dragon and Paladin Levis blocking the way, we couldn't get in at all. Later, the golden dragon and Paladin Levis left before we dared to go over. At that time, the battle was over, and the center of the Black Elf tribe was a mess. It had been cleaned up, and the battle scene was very intense, but we didn't find the body of the Boss."

"Logically speaking, if they killed the Boss, the Boss's body should still be there." Angel Wing frowned. What exactly did Nie Yan and the others do in the Black Elf tribe!

Angel Wing was still quite sensitive to quests. After the Black Elf tribe was opened, he immediately formed a team of a thousand people to go to the Black Elf tribe to explore, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by Nie Yan halfway, and all his efforts were in vain. What secrets did the Black Elf tribe have? He still didn't know until now.

"We've searched, and there's really no body of the Boss. However, on the altar in the center of the Black Elf tribe, we found an open treasure chest, which is a legendary-grade box," the Elf thief said in the team chat.

"Legendary-grade box?!" Angel Wing sucked in a breath of cold air. Since the game was launched, the entire Angel Corps had only opened a sub-legendary-grade box. As for the legendary-grade box, they had only heard of it and had never seen it before.

Hearing the news from the people below, Angel Wing's mood became inexplicably agitated.

Nie Yan used a return scroll and returned to the Orc King City, flashing into a small alley. In the city, demonized lords should not be able to threaten him. After all, the Orc King City had so many powerful legendary-grade NPCs guarding it. Killing a level 130 demonized lord was not easy.

After entering the house that the Nirvana Guild had bought in the Orc King City, there was finally no one around. Nie Yan couldn't wait to take out his spoils.

It was a silver-white hammer!

When Nie Yan took out the hammer, a cold chill, accompanied by flashes of electricity, made the air in the entire room freeze.
