Chapter 152 Holy Spirit Imprint

Quickly, one Dark Maiden after another fell to the ground. Nie Yan and the Golden Landragon followed behind. The Golden Landragon spewed mouthfuls of dragon breath, the scorching flames blasting the Dark Maidens, instantly killing them one by one.

*Ding dong*, a crisp system notification sounded.

The Golden Landragon leveled up!

Nie Yan checked the Golden Landragon's level, it was already Level 89.

Because of its super strong talent, the higher the Golden Landragon's level, the more ridiculously powerful its stats became. Each level it gained increased its stats several times more than ordinary pets, which was the benefit of high growth.

The ground was covered with corpses of Dark Maidens. Watching Lafus withstand the attacks of dozens of Dark Maidens, charging and slaughtering all the way, Nie Yan was also shocked. With Lafus tanking in front and the Golden Landragon providing long-range fire support in the rear, their partnership was quite tacit. Nie Yan didn't even need to do anything; the Dark Maidens in front were being reaped in droves.

Nie Yan walked forward. The bodies of the Dark Maidens lying on the ground were enveloped in beams of white light, turning into ashes and disappearing without a trace.

Nie Yan's Purification Aura could purify the corpses of these Dark Maidens, accumulating holy power. Once the quantity accumulated to a certain extent, he would obtain the Holy Spirit Heart, unlocking the seal of the Zennarde's Sword.

This quest was one of the most important main quests in Nie Yan's quest log, so he would naturally not forget it. He checked the quest progress and saw that he had purified over 110,000, all accumulated from grinding monsters usually.

Lafus charged all the way. Perhaps the commotion was a bit too great, as more and more Dark Maidens gathered towards this side, reaching several hundred. The Golden Landragon chanted a series of spells, summoning a fiery meteor that crashed down on the group of Dark Maidens.

With a loud bang, the entire area within a radius of thirty yards was engulfed in flames.

The Dark Maidens in the raging flames screamed and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, a beam of white light fell on Nie Yan. He felt something strange on his left arm. He looked down and saw a white Holy Light Mark on his arm. This Holy Light Mark was like an ancient totem, composed of various symbols and patterns, looking very mysterious.

System: You have obtained the Holy Spirit Mark.

The attributes of this Holy Spirit Mark were unknown; it should be related to the Holy Spirit Heart quest.

He glanced at his status and found that he had advanced from Novice Demon Hunter to Intermediate Demon Hunter.

Intermediate Demon Hunter had one more state than Novice Demon Hunter, called Demon Seeking. When a demon creature appeared on the nearby map, he could quickly find the demon's location by sensing it. When attacking that demon, he would have 200% attack power.

Many of Nie Yan's skills and equipment effects were targeted at demon-type creatures. Therefore, his damage to demon-type creatures was several times higher than when attacking ordinary creatures. In the future, when leveling up, he should specifically look for demon creatures, so leveling up would be much faster.

The Demon Hunter title had been upgraded by one level. He wondered what it would be like to continue leveling it up.

They cleared all the way through. The Dark Maidens were everywhere for about five or six hundred yards, countless in number. If ordinary players or teams came here, they would definitely be scared by this formation. There were so many Dark Maidens, they were simply endless to kill. But for Nie Yan, it was an explosive joy. He could keep grinding until he was satisfied.

After killing about eight or nine hundred Dark Maidens, Lafus's mana was running low. Nie Yan commanded the Golden Landragon to tank, replacing Lafus so he could rest and recover mana.

The Golden Landragon was also very resistant. When a group of Dark Maidens besieged it, a few Counter Storms swept them to the ground.

If its health was depleted, Lafus could cast a heal on the Golden Landragon from behind.

Paladins were great. They could be meat shields, healers, and also provide buffs. Although each of their abilities was mediocre, their overall strength was top-notch among many classes.

Leveling up here was also quite fast. In about an hour, Nie Yan's experience reached about 71%.

These Dark Maidens contributed a lot of good things to Nie Yan. There were more than a dozen good gems alone. Adding in the equipment that dropped, he could sell them back for 20,000 gold coins or more, which was enough to ensure that he didn't lose money.

Gradually going deeper into the dungeon, the number of Dark Maidens gradually decreased. Long corridors were lined with stone chambers, each containing unknown contents.

Letting the Golden Landragon and Lafus continue to grind monsters, Nie Yan walked to the entrance of a stone chamber and slowly pushed the stone door open. He heard the sound of countless arrows shooting out. Nie Yan keenly sensed the danger and used Gale Step to dodge to the side.

*Duk duk duk*, dozens of giant thumb-thick arrows were embedded in the place where he had originally stood. These arrows were all made of metal and flashed with a faint green light.

Thieves often had to deal with traps, so they had to be responsive at all times, otherwise they would not know when they were killed. Thieves had higher reflexes, so when they were ambushed by traps, their survival rate was much higher than others, but countless thieves still died under traps, and their deaths were often gruesome.

Fortunately, Nie Yan reacted quickly. If those dozens of giant arrows had hit him, he would have lost half his life even if he hadn't died.

After confirming that it was safe, Nie Yan walked to the entrance of the stone chamber and looked inside. It was a small stone chamber, about 3x3 yards, with a stone coffin in the center, and nothing else.

The stone coffin in the middle was rectangular and made somewhat crudely. There were some decorative carvings around it, but they were not very detailed.

There was a protruding button next to the stone coffin, which may be the mechanism for opening the stone coffin.

The contents of this kind of stone coffin were unknown. Sometimes there were excellent treasures, sometimes there were powerful monsters, and sometimes there were even powerful curses.

Nie Yan hesitated for a moment, then walked up and pressed the button. The stone chamber shook, and the coffin lid on the stone coffin slowly moved, opening.

When the stone coffin opened, Nie Yan stepped back a few steps, prepared, and gripped Zennarde's Sword, ready to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise.

After the coffin lid of the stone coffin was opened, the stone chamber was still as calm as usual, and nothing happened.

After confirming that it was safe, Nie Yan walked to the side of the stone coffin and looked inside. Inside the stone coffin lay a skeleton. Judging from its size and other characteristics, it was a female. The body had rotted and only a skeleton remained. Next to the skeleton were three blue gems.

Nie Yan reached out and picked up the three gems, looking at their attributes.

Shattered Shadow Sapphire: Can be used for inlaying.

Attribute: Equipment level requirement -10.

A level requirement of -10 was already considered a top-level gem. He didn't expect to get three at once this time, which made him a little pleasantly surprised.

He had good luck. He put the three Shattered Shadow Sapphires into his backpack, scanned the stone chamber, and, finding nothing missing, walked out of the stone chamber.

Walking a few steps forward, there was another stone chamber. Nie Yan tentatively opened the door of the stone chamber. This time there were no traps. The layout of this stone chamber was the same as the previous one, and even the direction in which the stone coffin was placed was exactly the same.

Nie Yan pressed the button as before, and the coffin lid of the stone coffin slowly opened. A strong smell of gunpowder quickly spread out.

Not good!

Nie Yan's expression changed. A strong sense of crisis flashed through his mind. He used Shadow Dance and ran wildly outside.

With a loud bang, a deafening explosion came from behind. A powerful shockwave swept from behind, blowing Nie Yan away.

The entire dungeon shook violently.

Nie Yan was knocked five or six yards away, and spat out a mouthful of blood. A damage value of more than 6,000 floated above his head. Fortunately, his defense was high enough and his health was thick enough. If he had been an ordinary thief, he would have been instantly killed.

Standing up and looking over there, Nie Yan's face was a little pale. The stone chamber had been completely destroyed. The door and stone coffin had been shattered into pieces, and the scene was a complete mess.

Fortunately, he ran fast. If he had reacted a little slower, he would have been crushed into pieces like these stones.

Dust floating in the air fluttered down, scattered all over the ground.

Everything returned to calm.

Nie Yan sat in the corner to recover. There were more stone chambers ahead, at least twenty or so. He couldn't help but hesitate. Should he continue exploring?

After a moment of silence, how many treasures were there in these stone chambers? It would be a pity to miss them.

If you want to seize treasures, you must have the courage to risk your life.

Nie Yan continued to open one stone chamber after another. When his luck was good, he could obtain good things such as gems and scrolls when opening the stone chambers. When his luck was bad, he opened a curse and almost died. Fortunately, Lafus dispelled the curse in time. In addition to the curse, he also opened a monster, an elite-level Undead Dark Maiden. However, with the assistance of the Paladin Lafus and the Golden Landragon, Nie Yan quickly killed the elite-level Dark Maiden.

Although he took great risks along the way, the harvest was good.

After walking a distance forward, two golden stone doors appeared in front of him, one on the left and one on the right. These two stone chambers were obviously much more luxurious than the previous stone chambers. The stone doors were made very delicately and covered with various carvings.

There were probably also stone chambers inside. Nie Yan hesitated in front of these two golden stone doors. Should he go in? Would there be any danger?

Nie Yan guessed that if he could find treasures in these two stone chambers, the quality would definitely be much better than the things that came out of the previous ordinary stone chambers, but at the same time, the unknown dangerous factors inside would be even greater. The curses and explosions that appeared in the ordinary stone chambers almost killed him.

After all, his level was still too low. In this kind of high-level map, he could easily lose his life if he was not careful.

Think about it first, Nie Yan dared not make a decision immediately. He walked towards the Golden Landragon and Lafus, first purifying all the corpses of the Dark Maidens on the ground and collecting the spoils.
