"Shadow Priest, use Entangling Roots!"

Entangling Roots!

The elite scorpion lion's movements suddenly glitched, pausing for a moment.

The effect of Entangling Roots lasted for less than a second, but its impact was obvious.

Magic rained down, and the elite scorpion lion's health dropped by another 2%. It entered a state of frenzy, its attack soaring by 300%. The pressure on Kuang Tao Man Juan suddenly increased, and the priests desperately tossed heals at him as if they were free.

Nie Yan moved his hand, and a cloud of white powder appeared in his palm. He flung it out.

*Bang*, the white powder exploded, and at the center of the powder cloud, a dazzling white light, like a thousand needles, pierced the elite scorpion lion's eyes.

The team members were also affected by the white light, but to a lesser extent. Unlike the elite scorpion lion, it completely lost its vision.

This was Flash Dust, which Nie Yan had bought from Sosomiya. This stuff could instantly release a strong light, searing the eyes of the target enemy for a few seconds. Players could take advantage of the enemy's loss of vision to kill the opponent or escape. Although it was expensive, it was extremely useful.

"Keep up the output, don't stop!" Nie Yan shouted.

The team was in a slight uproar due to the stimulation of the Flash Dust's strong light, but quickly calmed down. They realized that the Flash Dust was Nie Yan's doing, and that the elite scorpion lion was blinded, so they smashed even more ferocious magic at the elite scorpion lion.

The elite scorpion lion finally whimpered and fell to the ground.

Logically speaking, when the elite scorpion lion had 5% health left, it should have been at its most ferocious and dangerous, but under the effects of Entangling Roots and Flash Dust, it basically didn't display any combat power and fell to the ground.

If it were normal times, encountering an elite scorpion lion would never have ended so easily!

"What dropped?" Nie Yan asked Ban Xing De Hu Li.

Ban Xing De Hu Li picked up the items dropped by the elite scorpion lion. It was a rogue's dagger, Dark Gold-grade.

Blood Pact Dagger (Dark Gold): Required Level 0.

Attributes: Attack 23-26, Agility +11, Critical Hit +12, Life Steal 3%.

Attack Speed: 2.3

Weight: 3 lbs.

Restriction: Usable by all factions.

"It's a rogue's dagger!" Ban Xing De Hu Li shared the attributes of the Blood Pact Dagger.

Nie Yan looked at it. It was a level 0 Dark Gold dagger, and its attributes were indeed good. Its attack was only a little lower than the level 5 Gold equipment, Assassin's Training, and its added Critical Hit and Life Steal attributes were obviously better than Assassin's Training.

Finally, he could switch daggers.

The Blood Pact from the Ogrema Muddy Marsh was the best of the level zero daggers.

"I'll take this Blood Pact," Nie Yan said to Ban Xing De Hu Li.

All the rogues in the team were eyeing such a good item. As soon as Nie Yan spoke, all the rogues understood that they had no chance. Thinking about it, how could Nie Yan not want the Blood Pact Dagger?

Ban Xing De Hu Li traded the Blood Pact Dagger to Nie Yan. Nie Yan had brought them to the Expert-level Ogrema Muddy Marsh. Without Nie Yan, they wouldn't have been able to get this far. But Nie Yan had only taken a Gold-grade leg guard, and hadn't taken anything else. He felt a little embarrassed, so since a Dark Gold-grade rogue equipment had dropped, Nie Yan naturally got first pick.

Nie Yan switched out the Horned Dagger in his hand and replaced it with the Blood Pact Dagger. His attack was much higher. In a few days, he would probably be able to farm a Blackblood set, and his equipment would then be raised another level.

Following the same method, Nie Yan lured out the two elite female scorpion lions beside the Scorpion Lion King one by one, and then killed them one by one. These two elite female scorpion lions also dropped two pieces of good equipment, but they weren't rogue equipment, so Nie Yan automatically ignored them.

"By the way, what was that thing you used to burn the scorpion lion's eyes earlier?" Ban Xing De Hu Li finally couldn't help but ask.

Huang Hun, Shi Tou, and the others also turned their attention over. That thing was indeed a good item. Burning the enemy's eyes during battle could have miraculous effects at critical moments.

"Flash Dust, a special item, but it can only be used against monsters below level ten."

"Do you have any to spare?"

"I do have some, I only have nine left." Nie Yan pondered for a moment, then said, since Ban Xing De Hu Li and the others had seen it, there was no need to hide it.

"Is this stuff very rare? How about I buy two for one silver coin each?" Ban Xing De Hu Li said. This thing could have miraculous effects when farming bosses or PK-ing. Even if it was one silver coin each, it wouldn't be too expensive.

Ban Xing De Hu Li's words made Nie Yan's eyes light up. Ban Xing De Hu Li was willing to pay one silver coin to buy one Flash Dust, then there must be more people who would be willing to pay a high price to buy these things. Sosomiya was a hidden NPC, and no one had discovered him yet. If he could buy a large number of things like Flash Dust and Web Scroll from there and sell them on the market, he could probably make a lot of money.

At least before level ten, the demand for beginner Flash Dust, Web Scroll, and Polymorph Scroll from players would be very high.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. Let's clear the Ogrema Muddy Marsh first," Nie Yan said. After leaving the dungeon, he could put some of these things on the market to see how it goes.

"Okay, if you have more, sell me some more." Ban Xing De Hu Li said. Money wasn't a problem for him. He had witnessed the effect of Flash Dust, and naturally wanted to get it urgently.

Only the last Scorpion Lion King was left, and the mission had reached its final moment.

This Scorpion Lion King was much stronger and taller than the Scorpion Lion Kings in the Simple and Normal difficulties, causing Ban Xing De Hu Li and the others to be secretly shocked.

This was the first Lord-class creature they had encountered!

The team members couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Although they had witnessed miracles under Nie Yan's leadership, this absolute power was indeed frightening.

"Paladins, prepare Protection from Evil. Priests, pay attention to healing Kuang Tao Man Juan, and conserve mana at the same time. When facing the Scorpion Lion King, there will definitely be casualties. Everyone else in this team can die, but Kuang Tao cannot die. If he dies, it's basically destined to be a team wipe, so the priests' healing can only be given to Kuang Tao Man Juan. If other melee fighters are low on health, immediately leave the battlefield. No one will heal you. Go outside the battlefield to recover your health yourself. Shadow Priests, save your Entangling Roots. I'll remind you when I need you." Nie Yan arranged and distributed the work that each person had to do, bit by bit.

The team members listened attentively, not daring to miss a single detail.

"As for the others, there's nothing else. Actually, the Scorpion Lion King is just like that, there's nothing to be nervous about," Nie Yan said casually.

Ban Xing De Hu Li, Huang Hun, and the others looked at each other, but smiled wryly in their hearts. Probably only Nie Yan dared to say such a thing. That was a Lord-class monster in front of them!
