Chapter 1 Secrecy

In Nie Yan's view, most players hadn't caught up in levels yet, and very few had arrived here, so his actions were very secretive.

However, in the Fei Meng Plains, not far from the cliff where Nie Yan was, a team of ten players were focused on killing monsters. They were fighting level seven lions. Since these monsters were relatively high-level, the highest among them was level six, and the lowest was level four, but they still didn't dare to venture deep into the Fei Meng Plains.

Although these level seven lions had a 300% experience bonus for killing monsters above their level, the experience points distributed to each of them were not much. If it hadn't been for a Lion Shield dropping earlier, plus the lions dropping some fur, the income wouldn't have been bad. They would have stopped fighting these monsters with high health and difficult to kill long ago because the potion consumption was too fast. The consumption of blood potions and other consumables alone was a large expense.

"Dao Guang, let's kill monsters for two more hours and then leave. We're almost done collecting the lion skins," a priest in the rear said to the level six shield warrior in front.

The shield warrior, called Dao Guang, held his shield horizontally, blocking a lion, and swung his sword in a Heroic Strike, fighting and retreating. After the mage in the rear had depleted the lion's health, a Kuangdao Zhan (Frenzied Blade Strike) killed the lion.

"Okay, let's leave after one more hour. Since a Lion Shield dropped, it would be perfect if a Lion Armor dropped too," Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Blade Light) nodded, calmly collecting the items dropped by the lion.

"According to some information released on the official website, the drop rate of Lion Armor is only 0.2%. With such a low drop rate, it's basically impossible," said an elemental mage beside him. He and Cui Can Dao Guang were the only two in the team who had reached level six.

The elemental mage who was with Cui Can Dao Guang was called Hei Zhuo. Both of them were well-known experts. Although they were friends, neither of them was convinced by the other. In terms of skill, Cui Can Dao Guang was clearly better, but Hei Zhuo used their names to establish Zong Heng Tian Xia (Unrivaled Under Heaven). Under his management, Zong Heng Tian Xia was on the right track and seemed to be somewhat famous. Cui Can Dao Guang was not interested in managing the team, and his prestige in the team was not as high as Hei Zhuo's.

"The drop rate of Lion Shield is only 0.1%, didn't we still get it?" Cui Can Dao Guang retorted.

"That was just good luck." Cui Can Dao Guang's tone made Hei Zhuo a little unhappy. His expression changed, but he said lightly.

"If I get Lion Armor, my defense will be invincible," Cui Can Dao Guang said confidently.

Self-righteous guy, Hei Zhuo thought disdainfully, but his face remained calm as usual. When he and Cui Can Dao Guang PKed, he could win two out of ten matches at most. Cui Can Dao Guang had a good reputation and was very skilled, with considerable prestige among several professional players. Zong Heng Tian Xia was established using Cui Can Dao Guang's reputation. Hei Zhuo had to rely on Cui Can Dao Guang, but as Zong Heng Tian Xia's strength expanded, Cui Can Dao Guang had been slowly squeezed out of the management by Hei Zhuo.

Cui Can Dao Guang looked into the distance and suddenly noticed a player falling from a distant cliff on the opposite side. He thought, it's really strange these days, even in the game there are people jumping off cliffs. This guy really can't think straight. But to his surprise, the player's falling speed was getting slower and slower. At this speed, even if he landed on the ground, he wouldn't die.

"Look at the cliff opposite!" Cui Can Dao Guang said in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Hei Zhuo asked, casually looking at the opposite side, but then his gaze stopped. He also noticed Nie Yan. At this moment, Nie Yan shot something from his hand and hung it on the cliff. He was hanging in mid-air like that, and he even took out a crossbow and shot downwards.

"What is he doing?" The surrounding team members were stunned.

"Amazing, he can even think of such a trick. Didn't you see? He's killing monsters!" Dao Guang stood up straight and said. He was very interested in the player on the opposite cliff. To be able to think of such a strange trick to kill monsters here, he was no ordinary person.

"The one on his left hand should be the Ring of the Spider Weaver!" Hei Zhuo knew all the equipment like the back of his hand, so he naturally knew about such a thing.

"If we had the Ring of the Spider Weaver, wouldn't we be able to kill monsters like him?"

"It's no use even if you have the Ring of the Spider Weaver. Falling from such a high place, the impact of the fall will definitely break the Ring of the Spider Weaver, unless you can be like him and have a Feather Fall device," Dao Guang said. The Ring of the Spider Weaver was a rare item, worth a lot of money, not to mention the Feather Fall device. These two things might not be available even if you spend money. In order to kill monsters, this guy actually found the Ring of the Spider Weaver and a Feather Fall device. Just who is this guy?

"Damn, it's so cool to kill monsters like this. You don't have to worry about the monsters' attacks, just keep shooting arrows. It won't be long before you level up several times."

"Not necessarily. The range he can attack is limited. In such a small area, the monster killing rate will definitely not be very fast. If he kills monsters like this, the server's respawn rate definitely won't be able to keep up. He will have to go back after killing some monsters." There were some knowledgeable people among the team members.

Hearing the discussions of the team members, Hei Zhuo kept silent. They didn't dare to go any further. The closer they got to the cliff, the more monsters there were. They simply didn't dare to go in. They didn't know what monsters the thief was killing.

Roar! A deafening sound came from below the cliff. The team members' expressions changed drastically, and they looked at each other in shock.

A strong male lion jumped up, about five yards high, and pounced on the cliff wall. It pounced very fiercely, and the powerful impact caused the rock wall to tremble. But the height the male lion jumped was still a long way from where Nie Yan was. It couldn't stay on the rock wall and fell from above. Nie Yan was still as steady as Mount Tai on the rock wall, shooting non-stop.

"It's an Elite Lion King!" Hei Zhuo said in a deep voice.

The team members looked at each other. Elite Lion King, even if they formed a team of twenty people now, they would not be able to kill the Elite Lion King. Was a level seven elite being slowly shot to death in the air by a player? A sense of unwillingness welled up in their hearts, or more accurately, a sense of jealousy.

"Can we break in and grab his equipment after he shoots down the Lion King?" a team member said.

"Impossible, we can't even get there now, unless we let Guild Leader Hei Zhuo bring a group of people over, but the losses and gains will not be proportional at all."

"Sigh, forget it."

While Dao Guang, Hei Zhuo, and others were pondering, the ground trembled violently, as if many creatures were approaching here. Their expressions all changed, and they looked into the distance. A group of hundreds of lions was approaching, and the Lion King's roar had caused the nearby lions to move.

"Damn it, retreat quickly!" Hei Zhuo exclaimed, but it was too late. The lions had discovered them, and what awaited them was a disaster.

Dao Guang looked like it would be difficult for him to escape. He held his shield horizontally, ready to face the enemy.

On the cliff opposite, Nie Yan was very relaxed. He didn't need too much strength, just needed to maintain his shooting speed. One arrow after another was fired, and these arrows all came with additional damage. Even a level seven Lion King only had more than five thousand health points. Under his continuous attacks, it quickly had only a small portion left.

The Lion King's hatred was all focused on Nie Yan, but it couldn't attack Nie Yan, and there was nothing it could do. It only knew physical attacks, and all its skills increased physical damage. The highest it could jump was only six or seven yards, but Nie Yan was hanging on the rock wall twenty yards away.

With arrows that dealt extra damage, killing monsters above his level was much easier. Every arrow dealt solid damage.
