Chapter 13 Sogue Fortress

The victor of this skirmish was Nie Yan. Everyone relied on their own abilities. Guang Ming Yongsui, Tangguo, and the others, besides bearing a grudge against Nie Yan, couldn't do anything about him.

After shaking off Guang Ming Yongsui and the others, Nie Yan continued running towards his destination. The basilisk dropped a skill book. He took it out to take a look, wondering what it was.

"Damn, it's Elementary Resurrection!"

Nie Yan couldn't help but sigh, his luck was pretty good. Elementary Resurrection was too important for a team, so its price was ridiculously high. Even if he asked for more than one gold coin, there would probably still be many teams flocking to buy it.

Skill Book: Elementary Resurrection

Casting Elements: Language, gestures, materials.

Skill Attributes: Can resurrect one teammate after the battle, casting time is 10 seconds, cannot be used in battle.

Nie Yan put away the Elementary Resurrection. This skill book would be very valuable for a while. He wasn't short of money, so he wouldn't sell it.

Passing through a large thicket of shrubs, in the middle of the swamp, the ruins of an ancient city appeared before Nie Yan's eyes. The towering city walls, eroded by wind and rain, were already dilapidated, but the outline of the ancient city could still be vaguely seen. In the center of the ancient city was a magnificent pyramid, built from huge stones, with ancient Dark Era texts carved on it. The ancient and vigorous characters gave off a heavy sense of history.

The fortress of the Dark Era, having experienced countless battles, and since who knows when, no intelligent life had lived in it anymore, only these walls and pillars sang lonely ballads in the passage of time.

This was the ancient city!

Nie Yan walked around the city wall for a distance and found the city gate of this ancient city.

After sorting out his backpack, Nie Yan stepped into this ancient city. The city gate was full of ruins. The moment he entered the ancient city, the sky turned dark, as if he had entered another space-time. Darkness enveloped everything, and only this gloomy ancient city remained between this vast land.

System: You have entered the Sogue Fortress.

Nie Yan looked ahead, it was an endless expanse of ruins, only the towering pyramid in the center stood majestically, the ground covered with dense white bones.

Nie Yan felt a cold aura coming towards him. Crack, one of the skeletons moved, and slowly climbed up.

Immediately afterwards, countless skeletons stood up from the ground. The short ones must have been dwarves in their lifetime, the tall ones with huge tails must have been dragons, and there were also humans and giants.

This was an ancient battlefield. Various races, countless creatures died in this fortress, and then turned into countless vengeful spirits, sealed in their bones. Once they smelled the aura of living beings, they would be resurrected and then search for food.

Nie Yan used Super Appraisal to check.

Skeleton Pilgrim: Level 10, Health 120/120 (Extremely Fragile).

Skeleton Mage: Level 10, Health 80/80 (Extremely Fragile).

Skeleton Ripper: Level 10, Health 150/150 (Extremely Fragile).

These things didn't have high health, their attacks weren't very strong, and their own attributes were extremely fragile. The level difference could be ignored, but what could not be ignored was that there were too many of them. The entire narrow corridor was full of skeletons, and skeletons had a special ability. Stun skills and bleeding skills had no effect on them. Stealth was also ineffective. They didn't judge a person's location by sight, but by sensing the aura of living beings.

Nie Yan stayed far away from these skeleton creatures, and if he found any strays, he would rush up and kill them.

Finding a Skeleton Pilgrim wandering not far away, Nie Yan raised his dagger and rushed up. With a Garrote and a Vital Strike, the Skeleton Pilgrim was torn into pieces.

System: Killing a monster above your level grants a 200% experience bonus. You have gained 230 experience.

These skeletons didn't have great attributes, but the experience they gave was generous.

Nie Yan had just killed a Skeleton Pilgrim when dozens of Skeleton Pilgrims and Skeleton Rippers rushed towards Nie Yan waving the daggers in their hands. They were coming aggressively, like a tide. Behind them, the Skeleton Mages waved their staffs, red light and white light, shining together, it was fire, ice and lightning magic!

Damn it, how are there so many! Nie Yan thought depressingly, glanced back, the way he came was blocked, crowded with skeletons, he quickly ran to another path.

Although there were many skeletons, they were clumsy, so Nie Yan wasn't worried about encountering any danger.

Bang bang bang, streaks of magic exploded next to Nie Yan. Nie Yan entered a turn, rushed out of the attack range of the Skeleton Mages, and looked ahead. A group of Skeleton Soldiers were blocking him aggressively.

With no way forward and pursuers behind, Nie Yan looked to the side. It was a wall more than five yards high. The wall was somewhat eroded and damaged, revealing holes. Nie Yan did a leaping vault, jumped up, stepped on the holes in the wall, flipped over, and jumped over the high wall.

Nie Yan landed easily. This was another path, with only a few Skeleton Mages scattered nearby, and many corpses on the ground, they were all skeleton frames that hadn't woken up yet.

Nie Yan didn't dare to delay, and pounced on one of the Skeleton Mages, his dagger attacking the Skeleton Mage's body.

The Skeleton Mage shattered into pieces like falling glass.

Several Skeleton Mages around were preparing magic. Nie Yan was like a cheetah pouncing, quickly killing them one by one. Nie Yan picked up the things dropped by these Skeleton Mages. At this moment, the skeleton frames on the ground moved and slowly climbed up from the ground.

Nie Yan didn't dare to stay and rushed forward madly.

Stepping over a few smooth stone slabs, Nie Yan suddenly felt some vibrations under his feet. Although it was extremely subtle, he sensed it immediately.

A trap!

Nie Yan rolled on the spot, and with a boom, at the place where he was just standing, a blast mine exploded, rubble flew everywhere, and several skeletons nearby were blown away by the blast wave, the bone fragments scattered all over the ground.

Several stones flew and hit Nie Yan.

-12, -13, -15, several damage values floated up from Nie Yan's head.

Nie Yan was secretly shocked. The damage of this blast mine was really powerful. If he had stepped on it, he would have been shattered to pieces.

Although the blast mine was very powerful, it could blow a thief over, but from the moment it was triggered to the moment it exploded, there was a gap of about two seconds. As long as he maintained a highly alert state, he could still easily avoid it.
