Chapter 31 Assassin's Training (Dagger)

Chapter 18 An Assassin's Training

Gradually, Nie Yan approached the Rock Spider Leader to within about three yards. The Rock Spider Leader twitched, its gaze turning towards where Nie Yan was hiding.

Nie Yan’s body was completely immersed in darkness. The shadows provided him with excellent cover.

However, the Rock Spider Leader's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness.

Nie Yan’s heart was pounding as he held his breath, pressing himself tightly against the rock wall.

The Rock Spider Leader's compound eyes swiveled, locking onto where Nie Yan was hiding. A figure gradually became clear. It chirped and pounced on Nie Yan.

"Damn, I've been discovered." Nie Yan's heart sank. He read an acceleration scroll and ran towards the pool as fast as he could.

The other two Rock Spider Leaders also moved, flanking him from both sides.

They blocked Nie Yan's path. One of the Rock Spider Leaders rammed into him.

Nie Yan bent his knees into a bow shape and leaped up.

Nie Yan's weight was still in a lightly loaded state, his jump distance three yards, height about half a yard, instantly flying over the Rock Spider Leader's pouncing range.

*Boom*, the Rock Spider Leader crashed into the rock wall. The wall cracked and rubble tumbled down.

The other two Rock Spider Leaders pounced on Nie Yan from two different directions simultaneously.

With quick eyes and hands, Nie Yan rolled, dodging between the two Rock Spider Leaders. *Bang*, the two Rock Spider Leaders collided, the huge impact causing them to flip over on their backs, limbs flailing.

The three Rock Spider Leaders' fat bodies almost completely blocked off all paths.

Nie Yan squeezed past the narrow gap between the three Rock Spider Leaders, running about five yards forward, using the acceleration of the run to sprint towards the pool.

One of the faster Rock Spiders pounced in front of Nie Yan.

Nie Yan jumped aside and plunged into the pool. *Splash*, water splashed high.

The three Rock Spiders lingered on the shore for a while, finally not daring to go into the water.

Thank goodness. Nie Yan swam towards the bottom of the pool, activating the skill on the Water Repelling Pearl.

The light at the bottom of the water was dim, the visibility very blurry, the undercurrents surging, making swimming very difficult. At times, the body would involuntarily drift backwards.

Nie Yan steadied himself, observed his surroundings, identified the direction, and swam forward.

There shouldn't be any monsters, Nie Yan thought. After swimming for about ten minutes, he saw a beam of light shining down from above.

"A treasure chest is near this location!" Nie Yan thought, plunging into the deeper lake bottom, swimming into the darkness. In his past life, every inch of this place had been searched, even the dark corners had not been spared. In his previous life, someone had found a chest here.

Unable to see his fingers in front of his face, Nie Yan could only grope around by feeling. His feet touched the bottom, and several protruding rocks tripped Nie Yan, causing him slight pain.

He groped among the rocks at the bottom of the lake.

He felt a patch of fine, soft sand. There seemed to be something under the sand. He peeled away the sand layer by layer, and a golden light entered his eyes, causing them to contract sharply.

"Jackpot, it's a golden treasure chest!"

The golden box emitted a glittering luster in the darkness, every inch of the surface covered with exquisite carvings. There was some wear and tear, but it did not detract from its appearance, but instead gave it some traces of vicissitudes.

A symbol on the box came into Nie Yan's eyes. It was a delicate dire wolf totem. The fist-sized dire wolf image was so exquisitely carved that even a strand of hair was meticulously crafted.

Every piece of equipment and item in Athea was full of profound historical accumulation. The sculptures, paintings, totems, handicrafts, and weapon styles of each era had their own unique characteristics, so the history of any era could be verified.

For ten whole years, under this influence, Nie Yan also had some detailed understanding of these totems and paintings.

The dire wolf totem was the symbol of a group of pirates active in the Xinze Sea area. During the Co-Rule Era (873-1235), they had given the Republican Kingdom a headache. Finally, the councilors discussed and decided to send the most elite navy to eliminate them. The combined navy composed of giants, humans, elves, and beastmen caused the pirates to flee in panic, and they were finally defeated. However, rumor had it that before the outbreak of the war, the pirates had transferred their treasures to secret locations on various continents. According to the laws of the Republican Kingdom, any lost treasure found would belong to the finder. So countless treasure hunting teams began their adventures. Since then, many pirate treasures have been found, but many treasures are still lost on the Athea continent.

A golden treasure chest left over from the Co-Rule Era, the distant history alone was enough to make people's imaginations run wild.

In his past life, he only knew that a treasure chest had been found near here. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary treasure chest, but he didn't know that it was actually a golden treasure chest left over from the Co-Rule Era. It was estimated that the person who found this treasure chest deliberately concealed the level of the treasure chest.

Nie Yan opened the box and reached in to grope around. A dagger fell into his palm, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.

He took the dagger out of the treasure chest and looked at its attributes.

Assassin's Training (Dagger): Unidentified.

He didn't know what the attributes were. This dagger had been eroded by the years, but the edge still flashed with a bright, cold light. The structure was a bit different from ordinary daggers. The handle was covered with gemstones of various colors, extremely gorgeous, forming a streamlined shape with a blood groove. The tip was slightly upturned, forming a barb shape, which could easily hook open the skin.

Assassin's Training? Nie Yan searched his memory. He had never seen this dagger before, and had no way of guessing its attributes. Judging from the design and construction of the appearance alone, this dagger should at least be a Gold-grade item.

Nie Yan understood what a Gold-grade piece of equipment meant at low levels. It meant you could have an endless future.

With endless expectations, Nie Yan put away the Assassin's Training. Even if he didn't succeed in taking the Chapter of Courage this time, the trip would still be worth it.

According to the main brain's practice, a top-quality chest would not have another top-quality chest next to it. This kind of clustering situation basically did not exist. He swam towards the beam of light above, the light becoming more and more dazzling. With a *whoosh*, he swam out of the water, finding himself in a very small pool.

Looking around, it was a beautiful valley, with clear springs gushing and flowing along the gullies between the valleys. The trees were lush and the deep green grass was like a carpet, covered with all kinds of wildflowers. Wisps of fragrance floated in the valley.

The surroundings were steep cliffs, which should be a closed valley, and the cliffs were covered with trees of various colors.

Nie Yan walked into the depths of the forest. The dense leaves blocked the sunlight from above, but the light still shone through the tender green leaves, so the forest did not appear dark at all. Streams of green light floated in the forest, giving people a mysterious and warm touch.

Weaving through it, it was as if he had entered a wonderful world.
