Chapter 1 The Underground Hall

This hall was a basement with a peculiar oval structure. Various items were placed on the table, made of metal, strangely shaped, and unidentifiable. In the corners of the hall were many jars and pots, obviously placed there for many years. Several jars were broken, and some black debris was scattered from them, all raw materials.

Nie Yan sniffed. There was a gunpowder smell in the air.

He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, a medium-sized guild, called the Moon Wolf Guild, seemed to have discovered some raw materials in this ancient castle. They were about to send people to move them when the Triumph Guild suddenly intervened and slaughtered the guild, seizing the batch of raw materials.

It seemed that those things were not rumors.

There were also some things on the table next to it, a few rolls of paper, he didn't know what they were. Nie Yan's attention was all on the Tyrant Abak's Bloodthirsty Dagger. It was said that the tyrant had used the Bloodthirsty Dagger to slaughter countless people. The dagger was stained with blood and possessed a strong curse, which ordinary people could not control.

The dagger was stuck in the wall, and a stream of blood slowly flowed down the wall, eerie and gorgeous.

The Abak set was the ultimate set that Nie Yan pursued. With this set of equipment, he would have no other desires. To get this set, he had to follow the task prompts, search for clues bit by bit, and collect the scattered pieces. This process would take two or three years to complete.

Now that he had discovered the Abak's Bloodthirsty Dagger, he must get it!

At this moment, the evil spirit Patience came down from upstairs and rushed up quickly.

"Damn humans, damn holy light." The evil spirit Patience showed a hideous expression, waving her sharp fingernails.

Hearing the words of the evil spirit Patience, Nie Yan's heart sank. This evil spirit had low-level intelligence. Among all creatures, intelligent creatures were the most difficult to deal with. They would not pester you to the death. If they couldn't beat you, they would call their companions. If they saw you were about to die, they would chase after you relentlessly, no matter how far you ran. If their health was running low, they would also try to run away.

Nie Yan looked at the evil spirit Patience's health, which was still over 110,000.

It would not be easy to exhaust her health.

He was afraid that he would not be able to deal with the evil spirit Patience by himself, so there was only one way: call for help!

Suddenly, Nie Yan had a handful of flashing dust in his hand. The flashing dust exploded with a bang, and a strong light burst out.

The evil spirit Patience let out a shrill scream. She was unable to open her eyes due to the strong light.

Nie Yan quickly retreated, activated the Deterrence skill, and retreated to the corner of the hall.

He opened the Holy Hire page, searched for a moment, and made a ruthless decision, hiring the level 7 mercenary Paladin Kio, whose attributes were 200% of Nie Yan's, and the fee was two thousand gold coins per hour.

For the sake of the Abak's Bloodthirsty Dagger, Nie Yan went all out.

Kio held a greatsword and guarded Nie Yan's side.

"Respected demon hunter, willing to serve you, may the holy light be with you." Kio stared at the evil spirit Patience in the distance, and said solemnly with righteousness, "In order to spread the faith of the holy light, to carry out the will of the holy light, in the name of God, to eliminate all evil creatures, this is the duty of the Paladin!"

The mercenaries hired through Holy Hire were all very devout Paladins. They only possessed low-level intelligence.

The evil spirit Patience regained her vision. She hesitated for a moment five or six yards away from Nie Yan, not daring to come in. This was the effect of Nie Yan's Deterrence. The newly appeared Paladin also made her feel some fear.

The Paladin Kio should still be able to resist for a moment. Nie Yan immediately began to chant a spell. He was about to summon the Golden Earth Dragon when there was a strong spatial fluctuation.

As long as the Golden Earth Dragon was summoned, the three units working together would definitely be able to kill the evil spirit Patience.

At this moment, the evil spirit Patience suddenly let out a sharp, ear-piercing hiss. A powerful, explosive sound rolled in and hit Nie Yan.

-32, a damage value floated from Nie Yan's head, and Nie Yan's summoning magic was directly interrupted.

Nie Yan's body paused, and his spirit was in a trance. He didn't expect that the evil spirit Patience also had mental attack skills like Fear Howl.

A Boss with intelligence was too difficult to deal with.

The Golden Earth Dragon summoning failed!

Together with the Paladin Kio, he should be able to kill the evil spirit Patience. Nie Yan looked at the Paladin Kio's skill bar. Most importantly, the Paladin Kio had a healing skill. He looked at the cooldown time of the healing skill, which was about 20 seconds, and the healing amount was relatively large, at 2000. This was enough.

Nie Yan pounced on the evil spirit Patience.

The evil spirit Patience howled in a low voice and greeted him, waving her claws.

Nie Yan used Gale Step to block the evil spirit Patience's attack, passed by the evil spirit Patience, and slashed the evil spirit Patience on the back with the Sword of Zannard. His attack could be said to be fast.

The evil spirit Patience clawed at Nie Yan again, and a damage value popped up above his head.

-1357.

A white light fell on Nie Yan's head, and Nie Yan's health immediately returned to more than half. The Paladin Kio cast a heal on Nie Yan!

At this moment, the Paladin Kio also charged up and gave the evil spirit Patience a Holy Strike. Light burst out, and the intense holy light bombarded Patience.

Patience let out a shrill scream, and a damage value of -15928 floated above her head.

Holy light restrained the undead!

This was also the reason why countless Paladins especially liked to take care of the undead.

Nie Yan was also surprised by the Paladin Kio's attack damage. He was overjoyed. There was hope! With Kio's high damage, dealing with the evil spirit Patience would be much easier than he thought!

The Paladin Kio drank heavily and cast a Purify again, a ray of light shone on the evil spirit Patience.

Under the light of the holy light, the evil spirit Patience's face became distorted, and a strange bloody smell rose.

Nie Yan's heart was awe-stricken. Regardless, he accelerated his output frequency, and the Paladin Kio also attacked fiercely.

-6738, -12957...

In just a moment, the evil spirit Patience's health dropped to below 10%, and she was about to die.

Just one more attack!

The evil spirit Patience suddenly burst out with a shrill cry, Fear Howl!

In the instant when his mind was impacted, Nie Yan didn't even have time to think, his mind was already in chaos, and his body ran out involuntarily.

The Paladin Kio was the same.

The evil spirit Patience pounced on the Paladin Kio, her hatred completely focused on Kio. Kio's attack damage was higher than Nie Yan's, and the undead had a natural hatred for holy light creatures.

She kept attacking, waving her fingernails, and blood splattered everywhere. Kio's health of over five thousand was penetrated by her attack.

Kio fell to the ground.

Patience turned around and pounced on Nie Yan.

Fortunately, mental magic generally did not last long. Patience's Fear Howl was in a state of strong control for the first six seconds, which meant that Nie Yan could not use any skills during this time, and his body would not obey his orders. After six seconds, there was a weak control state for about ten seconds. During this time, Nie Yan could use skills, but he still could not control his movements.

Mental Immunity!

As soon as the six seconds of strong control passed, Nie Yan immediately used Mental Immunity. Seeing Patience pounce on him, with her claws in front of him, he immediately used a Shadow Dance, blocked her attack, and went around behind her.

Looking at Patience's health, there were still 6783 left. Nie Yan's muscles immediately tightened, and the Sword of Zannard in his hand was in front of her throat.

At this moment, Patience also used a skill!

Triple Strike!

Her fingernails continuously scratched Nie Yan's chest, -1356, -1287.

At this moment, Nie Yan used a Throat Cut, -6783, Patience screamed.

Nie Yan was afraid that Patience would have any actions after she died, so he quickly used a mid-level instant recovery potion, and his health recovered a lot. He prepared a bandage and was ready to bandage himself at any time.

Patience fell down. At this moment, a white soul floated from her body, looked around blankly, and floated out of the window.

A pool of shadow was left on the ground, which was purified and melted.

This guy finally died, Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Patience dropped two pieces of equipment, one for Shadow Priests and one for Arcane Mages, both Dark Gold. He was not interested in these things. He walked towards the wall in front of him. The Stone of Holy Light vibrated violently, blooming with brilliant light. He pulled hard and pulled out the Abak's Bloodthirsty Dagger.

This dagger was full of intense corrosive aura. Nie Yan could feel that if it weren't for the sacred energy contained in the Stone of Holy Light dispelling this corrosive power, he would have died the moment he held the Bloodthirsty Dagger.

Only the mission taker of Shadow Dancer could take out this dagger!

Nie Yan's gaze fell on the table next to him. There were a few old parchment scrolls on the table. He didn't know how long they had been placed there. They had turned gray and were full of cracked marks.

It seemed to be some kind of recipe!

Just as Nie Yan was about to walk over and pick them up to take a look, he suddenly had an unusual sense of crisis, very faint, vague, but he immediately reacted.

A Thief!

With his perception, he couldn't feel the other party's position at all!

The surroundings were empty.

He couldn't find him!

This was a level 50 map. If he encountered a Thief, the opponent would be at least level 50 or above. The opponent's concealment was very high, otherwise he would not be able to avoid his perception in this not-so-wide hall!

He should have just arrived in this hall, otherwise he would have taken action when Nie Yan was dealing with Patience.

Nie Yan's eyes narrowed, a murderous intent flashed, he walked towards the table next to him, and reached out to take those parchment scrolls.

I don't believe you won't come out!

Just as Nie Yan reached out, a cold light pierced the back of Nie Yan's head.

He finally moved!
