Nie Yan picked up the box and opened it. Inside lay a pair of broken cloth boots, exquisite and crystal clear, radiating waves of magic.

It was indeed them. Gazing at the dazzling luster of the Soggoth's Cloth Boots, Nie Yan nearly choked.

In his previous life, legendary equipment was an unattainable dream. Even fragments of legendary items were prohibitively expensive. After advancing to Grand Thief, Nie Yan only obtained one fragment of a legendary item, a broken breastplate for warriors. To make a living, he had to sell it. Nie Yan used the money from selling the broken breastplate to buy a set of high-grade dark gold equipment for thieves, and he also purchased lucky gems to upgrade the equipment to +9, with a significant surplus.

One can imagine how valuable it was.

After the Soggoth Shadow was broken down, it transformed into the Soggoth's Cloth Boots, Soggoth's Feather, and Soggoth's Cloth Scroll.

Only by finding all three parts could the magic contained within restore them to their original state.

Soggoth's Cloth Boots (Fragment of a Legendary Item): Requires 130 Strength.

Item Description: The Soggoth Shadow has been divided into three parts. The cloth boots still possess scattered magic and can still be used. Soggoth Shadow Fragments: Soggoth's Cloth Boots, Soggoth's Feather, Soggoth's Cloth Scroll. You need to find the remaining fragments to restore it to its original form.

Attributes: Agility +30, Speed +10, Jump +10, Stealth +10, Concealment +10, Reflex +10. Grants level 3 Thieving skill, grants level 3 Shadow Dance skill, Stealth and Concealment receive an additional 30 points, Movement Speed +30, cannot be detected for 6 seconds, and after 10 seconds there is a chance of being detected every 3 seconds.

As a fragment of a legendary item, the attributes of the Soggoth's Cloth Boots were indeed astonishing, increasing Speed, Jump, Stealth, Concealment, and Reflex, and also granting two skills, level 3 Thieving and level 3 Shadow Dance. Both Thieving and Shadow Dance were level 30 skills, only learnable after level 30. To raise Thieving and Shadow Dance to level 3 or higher, one would need to be at least level 40.

The Thieving skill could obtain extra benefits from monsters or players, only stealing items from the other party's backpack, not equipment worn on the body. The probability of successful theft and the stolen items depended on the levels of both parties. The success rate calculation formula was quite complex. The stolen items were usually just coins, and it was rare to steal equipment or similar items. As for Shadow Dance, it was a good escape or stealth skill. Six seconds was enough time to do many things. "Cannot be detected" did not mean invincibility, only that the other party could not see you. A round was 3 seconds, which meant that after 6 seconds, a check was made every 3 seconds, and the other party would either find you at that moment, or wait for the next round to continue the check.

"Requires 130 Strength, that's too high." Nie Yan frowned. He was still 73 points short. Such a high Strength requirement was extremely harsh for thieves, after all, thieves were agility-based classes and didn't allocate many points to Strength. If he allocated all attribute points to Strength and not Agility, leveling up in the future would be very difficult. Fortunately, this piece of equipment could compensate for 30 points of Agility. "Damn, I just had 10 points of Strength shaved off!"

With normal attribute allocation, ordinary players would reach 60 points of Strength by level 40 or higher. If their equipment was good, they would have about 130 points of Strength around level 30.

Nie Yan had 10 points of Strength shaved off, otherwise he should have been able to reach 130 points of Strength before level 25.

Only being able to equip this item at level 30 was too slow.

"I have to find a way to increase my Strength." Nie Yan thought. Just now, when he saw that the Soggoth Shadow came with level 3 Thieving, his eyes shone with excitement. He knew better than anyone what having level 3 Thieving early on could bring.

Getting 130 points of Strength wasn't impossible. Nie Yan's mind started racing, and he could do it before level 15!

Now wasn't the time to think about that. Nie Yan put the Soggoth's Cloth Boots into his bag. The Dark Gladiator trembled. Nie Yan felt a sense of danger. It was not safe to stay here for long, he had to escape quickly!

In a flash, he suddenly saw a terrifying scene. In the coffin, a spark of green flame ignited in Selistot's eye sockets. It was only a small flame, but it kept flickering.

But this was undoubtedly a dangerous signal. The guy in the coffin was about to be resurrected!

Nie Yan didn't dare to linger and ran towards the entrance. Suddenly, he realized that the pool at the entrance had been sealed off by rocks!

When Nie Yan opened the golden coffin, the exit had already been sealed.

Nie Yan checked the Return Scroll, it was still usable! He had checked the Return Scroll when he came, and this wasn't a closed space.

At this moment, a tall figure slowly sat up inside the golden coffin.

There was no time. It took a full twenty seconds to read the Return Scroll!

Without saying a word, Nie Yan began to read the Return Scroll. A light shone from the scroll covered with ancient writing, and a faint light enveloped Nie Yan. A bright teleportation magic circle appeared around him.

Time passed slowly.

Selistot in the golden coffin stood up. He wore a suit of golden armor and held a golden greatsword, like a king.

During his lifetime, he had been a powerful lord, ruling the city of Soggoth. After his death, he was buried here and turned into an undead.

Selistot (Undead): Level 15 Lord, HP 50,000/50,000.

The health of lord-level creatures was always terrifyingly high. Nie Yan understood that even a level 15 elite team might not be able to defeat Selistot, let alone now that there was only Nie Yan alone. If he was slow, he would definitely be stuck here.

Three seconds, four seconds, five seconds, time passed quietly.

Nie Yan's heart was extremely tense.

The green light in Selistot's eyes locked onto Nie Yan. He exuded a powerful, cold aura and walked towards Nie Yan step by step.

With Selistot's attack, if he swung his sword, Nie Yan would be splattered with blood on the spot, without any suspense. His health couldn't withstand its blow at all, even a shield warrior of the same level wouldn't be able to.

Selistot gradually approached. Nie Yan felt the crisis approaching, but he couldn't move. If he moved, the teleportation array would fail.

"Damn it, not enough time." Nie Yan glanced at the Dark Gladiator standing aside waiting for orders and quickly gave the Dark Gladiator an order.

The Dark Gladiator walked over to block Nie Yan without hesitation. Although it instinctively feared Selistot, it was absolutely loyal to Nie Yan. In its mind, it had to protect Nie Yan even if it died.
