These spiders were constantly moving around at the crossroads, their positions shifting.

Nie Yan patiently waited for an opportunity. After about half a minute, the rock spiders began to move inward. One rock spider near Nie Yan became separated from the group.

Nie Yan's eyes lit up. He couldn't miss this chance. He raised his crossbow and fired at the rock spider.

The rock spider, having been attacked, pounced towards Nie Yan.

No other rock spiders followed. Nie Yan met the spider head-on and killed it.

The rock spider dropped a level five white-grade rogue dark leather armor.

The drop rate for equipment of any class was extremely low, so equipment prices remained high. This level five white-grade leather armor could fetch at least six or seven copper coins if auctioned on the market.

Nie Yan tossed the dark leather armor into his bag and continued to wait for an opportunity.

Five or six minutes later, Nie Yan lured out three rock spiders, killed them all, and counted. There were only twelve rock spiders left at the crossroads.

These twelve spiders were a little too close together.

Nie Yan searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable place to strike.

"Still a little short, a bit dangerous, but never mind."

Nie Yan raised his crossbow again, firing three arrows in quick succession.

-5, -5, -5. The three arrows struck one of the rock spiders. The rock spider shrieked and charged, with another spider close behind.

"Drew two." Nie Yan tensed. He quickly retreated to a narrow area in the cave, where two rock spiders couldn't pass side by side.

Nie Yan drew his dagger and engaged the faster rock spider head-on, his dagger constantly stabbing out.

The rock spider repeatedly attacked Nie Yan, damage values floating above Nie Yan's head.

92%, 87%, 72%.......

Nie Yan carefully controlled his positioning. Only the rock spider in front could attack him. The rock spider behind could only shriek in frustration.

Nie Yan landed a critical hit, killing one of the rock spiders. He glanced at his health, still at 25%, not bad. He quickly retreated.

With the rock spider in front dead, the rock spider behind immediately chased after him.

Nie Yan retreated while using a combat bandage.

+20, +20, +20. Nie Yan's health steadily recovered.

The rock spider attacked repeatedly, but Nie Yan dodged with leaps. Soon, he was cornered. If he retreated further, there was another rock spider about five yards behind him. With nowhere to retreat, he swung his dagger and charged, his health restored to about 80%.

The two collided. All of Nie Yan's skills were still on cooldown. He could only rely on basic attacks.

Nie Yan leaped and dodged the rock spider's attacks, his dagger repeatedly stabbing out.

Under the rock spider's fierce attacks, Nie Yan's health dropped quickly, leaving only about 35%. The rock spider still had more than eighty health. The damage from normal attacks was quite limited. Rogues still had to rely on skills for damage.

Thirty seconds passed.

Assassinate, Garrote, and Backstab were off cooldown.

This was undoubtedly good news for Nie Yan.

The rock spider leaped, pouncing over.

The opportunity had arrived!

Nie Yan's dagger pierced through the rock spider's leg, stabbing straight into the rock spider's face. The dagger went in hilt-deep, then slashed open, and green, viscous liquid gushed out.

*Bang*. The rock spider pounced on Nie Yan, -33, a damage value floated above Nie Yan's head.

He looked down at his health, remaining at 12%.

Danger!

Nie Yan took out a bottle of low-level instant health potion and downed it, +30. His right hand's dagger delivered a Backstab, dealing 39 damage to the rock spider, and he brushed past the rock spider.

The rock spider's body crashed into Nie Yan, dealing another 35 damage to Nie Yan.

Nie Yan quickly ran backwards.

The rock spider turned and chased after Nie Yan.

Nie Yan glanced at the rock spider's health, 15 points. He only had 9% health left. Even a slight graze from the rock spider would kill him.

Nie Yan quickly retreated, the rock spider in close pursuit.

If they attacked at the same time, it would be a mutually destructive outcome.

-5, -5, bleeding damage values floated above the rock spider's head.

The rock spider leaped high, its front limbs stabbing down towards Nie Yan.

Nie Yan rolled on the spot. *Boom*, the rock spider's front limbs stabbed into the ground, creating a deep pit in the rock floor.

He was almost hit, so dangerous! Nie Yan broke out in a cold sweat.

-5.

The rock spider's health was whittled away by the bleeding, its body lost its support, and it collapsed with a crash.

System: You have gained eighty experience.

This rock spider was finally dead. Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief, supporting himself with his hands, sitting next to the rock wall, his health slowly recovering.

This rock spider didn't drop anything. Using such an expensive intermediate combat bandage on an ordinary monster like the rock spider was obviously too uneconomical.

After a while, Nie Yan's health finally recovered to full. It was too dangerous just now. If he lured monsters, he definitely couldn't lure two rock spiders at the same time.

There were still ten rock spiders left at the crossroads, which was obviously much more open than before.

These ten rock spiders moved in groups of two or three, and Nie Yan had no chance to attack.

"The path here is so open, I should be able to sneak past." Nie Yan thought, after learning the Stealth Enhancement skill, he should be able to get within one yard of the rock spiders without being discovered.

Nie Yan's body slowly faded, blending into the dark background, and slowly felt his way forward.

30 degrees to the left, three yards away, there was a rock spider, moving towards the front right. 60 degrees to the rear right, five yards away, there were two rock spiders, moving towards the front left.

Nie Yan observed the position of each rock spider and judged their direction of travel.

Two rock spiders crawled past less than two yards away from Nie Yan. Nie Yan quickly stopped. The two rock spiders didn't notice Nie Yan's presence and slowly crawled past.

Nie Yan's eyes inadvertently swept across a corner of the rock wall. Among several rocks, there was a box emitting a faint silver-white light.

Pieces of stone blocked his view, Nie Yan only saw a corner of the box.

Good heavens, it's hidden deep enough.

It was actually a silver-grade box. Nie Yan's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

The three rock spiders in front suddenly stopped and looked around.

The actions of these three rock spiders were like a bucket of cold water, causing Nie Yan to quickly calm down. It was too early to get excited now. Stealth had a limited duration. He didn't have time to open the box. He could only wait until next time.

Nie Yan held his breath.

The three rock spiders didn't find anything and crawled further and further away.

Nie Yan carefully weaved between the rock spiders, finally passing through this dangerous area, and breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of work was really inhuman.

Walking forward for a distance, he looked at the coordinates, this was the place.

"Tang Yao, where are you?" Nie Yan asked.

A figure slowly emerged from the shadows next to him. Who knew which corner this guy had burrowed into? He finally crawled out, covered in a lot of dirt.

"Not bad, you hid deep enough." Nie Yan laughed.

Tang Yao patted the dust off his body and said dejectedly, "Don't mention it, there are so many rock spiders over there, how did you get through?"

"Stealth." Nie Yan said.

"Is that even possible?" Tang Yao was stunned for a moment. There were so many rock spiders at that crossroads, how could a rogue possibly sneak through! It seemed very difficult.
