Those Skeleton Warriors seemed somewhat afraid of the Abraham Tomb, never daring to approach.

Nie Yan sat on the upper edge of the Abraham Tomb's entrance, slowly waiting for his health to recover. Soon, his precarious health was restored to full.

Seeing his health return to full, Nie Yan's mood inexplicably improved. He flipped over, jumped down from the upper edge of the tomb door, landed lightly, walked into the tomb entrance, and then went down the steps one by one.

Each step had been weathered and smoothed, and one could vaguely see ancient undead markings covering them. Below was endless darkness, where even the slightest sound would be infinitely amplified by the darkness and silence. Nie Yan could almost hear his own heartbeat.

Going down felt like approaching the gates of the land of the dead.

A chilling and decaying aura of death emanated from the depths of the tomb.

Nie Yan lightened his footsteps, sticking to the corner of the wall as he walked down.

Although he had been here in his previous life, it was after the Triumphant Guild had already explored the area. Exploring a map was as difficult as exploring a dungeon, with many elite and sub-elite creatures appearing. Once they were killed, they wouldn't respawn, just like the Skeleton Executioners in Sote Ancient City.

For a level ten player to challenge such a high-difficulty map, perhaps only Nie Yan would be so crazy.

The lure of the Chapter of Freedom was boundless.

Relying on his blurred vision, Nie Yan gradually went deeper into the bottom of the tomb. Some white light came from ahead, brightening the view considerably.

The walls on both sides of the tomb were inlaid with night-luminescent pearls, the light they emitted being hazy and pale, adding a touch of bleakness and mystery to the tomb.

After entering the tomb, a sense of familiarity arose in his heart, the scene merging with some things in his memory. After all, he had spent a lot of time here grinding and leveling up, and had long ago familiarized himself with the terrain.

Ahead, there were vague figures, indicating the presence of many monsters. Nie Yan became vigilant. He remembered that there were no monsters active here when he passed through this area in his previous life. The monster-grinding area was much further ahead.

Nie Yan's figure slowly disappeared, merging with the background, as he groped forward along the wall, concealed in the shadows of the corner.

Ahead was an open hall, about 20 by 20 yards, and about 10 yards high. Candlesticks were placed around it, the flames flickering, and many figures wandered around.

In the dim light, Nie Yan finally saw the face of one of the monsters. They were zombies dressed in black clothing with pale faces. He counted them; there were more than thirty, blocking the way forward.

Nie Yan cast a Detect on these zombies.

Vampire Baron: Level 25 Elite, Health 3000/3000.

It was actually a Vampire Baron! Nie Yan was taken aback. Some memories from his previous life resurfaced. Vampire Barons were the most difficult elite monsters to deal with around level twenty. Their health wasn't particularly high, but they had high movement speed and high attack power, and they also had lifesteal, making them extremely difficult to deal with. He had been killed by a Vampire Baron in another place when he was level twenty-seven.

The undead were particularly sensitive to the aura of living beings. Once a living being approached within seven or eight yards of them, they could keenly sense the other party's specific location.

So the Thief's Stealth was ineffective!

More than thirty Vampire Barons were enough to completely block the way forward. It was impossible for Nie Yan to sneak past!

Nie Yan couldn't even deal with one Vampire Baron, let alone so many!

How to get through here? Nie Yan thought for a moment and looked towards the top of the hall. The top of the hall was made entirely of stone, covered with various regular painted patterns, colored bright red, forming a huge circular vortex, with a pale skull painted in the middle. In the skull's eye sockets, cyan flames quietly flickered, like a supreme god overlooking all living beings, making people sink into it with just one glance.

The mysterious skull and flickering lights set off the atmosphere of the hall, making it exceptionally eerie.

Seeing the smooth rock walls at the top of the hall, a smile appeared on the corner of Nie Yan's mouth. He used the skill on the Weaver's Ring. A strand of spider silk stuck to the rock wall at the top of the hall. Using this force, Nie Yan soared up and quickly approached the top of the hall.

Nie Yan also used the skill on the Crawler's Ring. His palms were like suction cups, immediately gripping the ceiling firmly upon contact.

Like a spider, he crawled over the Vampire Barons' heads.

Nie Yan could feel that the Vampire Barons below were somewhat agitated. Perhaps they had smelled the aura of a living being, but they never imagined that Nie Yan was above them. Even if they discovered Nie Yan, they couldn't attack him.

He agilely crawled from the edge of the hall's ceiling to the center, getting closer and closer to the skull pattern. Entering an area about five yards away from the skull pattern, Nie Yan felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.

This skull was strange!

Suddenly, Nie Yan thought of something and stopped, going around the skull pattern from a distance.

It was a detonation trap!

His keen intuition had saved Nie Yan once again!

Bypassing the skull pattern in the center of the hall, Nie Yan's tense mood relaxed a little. If he had triggered the detonation trap just now, he wouldn't have had time to dodge and would have been blasted into minced meat.

Although Thieves had a certain bonus to reflex checks against traps, even if they stepped on a trap, there was a high probability of dodging the damage caused by the trap. However, many traps were extremely deadly, and once triggered, death was inevitable. Just like the detonation trap just now, he could feel the strange energy contained in it from about five yards away. If it had been triggered, the consequences would have been imaginable. Fortunately, Nie Yan was cautious and didn't approach rashly.

After advancing along the top of the tomb for about ten minutes, when he was about twenty yards or more away from the Vampire Barons, Nie Yan flipped over and jumped down, landing on the ground.

Having safely crossed this dangerous area, Nie Yan continued to delve deeper into the tomb.

Walking in the dim light, Nie Yan was already very familiar with the next section of the road. He carefully avoided ordinary Vampire Zombies, even if he could deal with them, since he wasn't here to grind and level up.

His only goal was the Chapter of Freedom!

Following the maze-like tomb passages, he snuck all the way to the second floor of the tomb. During this time, Nie Yan discovered several locked silver chests, one of which was even a master lock. Without lockpicking skills or a key, the string of keys in his backpack could only open treasure chests within level 20, while the treasure chests on this map were at least level 25 or higher.

Nie Yan bypassed a prison cell and found something placed in the shadows of the corner. Taking a closer look, he realized it was a dilapidated box. This was an unlocked box! He couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't easy, he finally found a box he could open.

Nie Yan bent down, opened the box, and rummaged inside. It seemed to be a skill book.

He took it out and looked at it.

Skill Book: Grace of the Spirit Cat.

Skill Description: Thieves gain powerful athletic abilities through excellent coordination, requiring level 20.

Skill Attributes: Reduces damage from falls by 10%-50% depending on height, increases climbing ability by 10%, Balance +10, Reflex Check +10, grants additional Agility +10.

User Restriction: Thief, usable by any faction.

It was actually Grace of the Spirit Cat! This skill book was pretty good for ordinary level 20 players, with Balance +10, Reflex Check +10, and Agility +10, but it wasn't particularly good. The first two attributes were rarely used and were dispensable, but for Nie Yan, it was a very good item, because Nie Yan's path was different from ordinary players.

Ordinary players followed either the Agility route or the Balance route, but Nie Yan, while following the Agility route, used the Weaver's Ring, Crawler's Ring, Feather Fall Gem, and other special items to create a different kind of Thief.

The Thief's job was no longer just to scout the road, remove traps, and sneak attack cloth-wearers. Nie Yan gave this profession a whole new definition.

In his previous life, Nie Yan had thought about creating such a Thief, but he didn't have enough strength to achieve it. First of all, the drop rate of the Weaver's Ring and the Crawler's Ring was extremely low, and they were very valuable. He couldn't afford them at all. As for the Feather Fall Gem, he couldn't own it either. In his previous life, he did clear the Expert-level Treant Forest dungeon with a team and a Feather Fall Gem dropped, but when distributing equipment, something like the Feather Fall Gem would never be his turn. A mage in the team took the Feather Fall Gem and only gave them three silver coins each. Back then, Nie Yan was just a nobody.

After his level was high enough, Nie Yan was no longer eligible to enter the Expert-level Treant Forest. The prices of things with Feather Fall devices on the market were ridiculously high, and he couldn't afford them even more.

As for Grace of the Spirit Cat, it was also a relatively rare skill book. If he wasn't the first one to enter the Abraham Tomb, such a good thing would never be his turn!

Although Grace of the Spirit Cat wasn't crucial, it could at least make Nie Yan's tactics more perfect.

Nie Yan put the Grace of the Spirit Cat skill book into his backpack. He could only use it at level 20, so he would keep it for now.

After passing through a long and narrow tunnel, Nie Yan entered a small secret chamber, only about 10 by 10 yards. In the small secret chamber, there were actually three stone coffins. These three stone coffins were made of white flagstone and were very simple. Only the top of the stone coffins had a twisted rune pattern painted on them, the grooves filled with bright red paint, like crimson blood.

This was a Fate Array rune!

These three stone coffins were not as simple as coffins, but a very strange arrangement of items. To be precise, they were fate items of the undead race.

When a player opened the stone coffin, they would trigger the Fate Array rune on the stone coffin. Many unpredictable situations might occur inside the stone coffin.

The stone coffins would refresh every ten days once opened.

It was said that players who came here had opened extreme equipment such as the Helm of Death, and even fragments of legendary items, while some players had opened a Prince-level vampire and were instantly killed.

The three stone coffins were quietly placed there, with temptation and terrifying unknowns.
