Just now, Sacred Employment has been used up. I wonder if those three Rock Astrologers will leave the Star Sacrifice Platform. If they can be lured away, then I'll have to sacrifice the Golden Earth Dragon. The Golden Earth Dragon's loyalty will drop if it dies, and it will take a long time to raise it back up, but if I can get the Phinas's Venom Sac, it's worth sacrificing some of the Golden Earth Dragon's loyalty.

Nie Yan retreated two or three hundred yards away, summoned the Golden Earth Dragon, planned for a moment, and began the operation to seize Phinas's Venom Sac.

He entered stealth mode and sped off into the distance. Arriving at the north side of the Star Sacrifice Platform, he slowly controlled the Golden Earth Dragon to approach the Star Sacrifice Platform from the south.

Soon, the Golden Earth Dragon entered the vision of the three Rock Astrologers, and they simultaneously locked onto it.

Nie Yan slowly approached from the north, wanting to wait for the Golden Earth Dragon to lure the three Rock Astrologers away, then he would go and seize the Phinas's Venom Sac.

The Golden Earth Dragon unleashed a Dragon Breath, a scorching flame spraying towards the Rock Astrologers. At this moment, the Rock Astrologers cast a Dark Shield on themselves. With a bang, the Dragon Breath hit the Dark Shield, sparks flew everywhere, but it instantly dissipated in the air, without causing any damage to the Rock Astrologers.

After the Golden Earth Dragon released its Dragon Breath, Nie Yan quickly controlled it to turn around and run.

The Rock Astrologers didn't chase after it as Nie Yan had imagined, but instead waved their staffs and summoned three Rock Giant Wolves. These wolves were over two yards tall, huge in size, and pounced on the Golden Earth Dragon at high speed. Their movement speed was much faster than the Golden Earth Dragon’s. Level 100 summons!

When the Golden Earth Dragon had fled about three or four hundred yards, the three Rock Giant Wolves pounced on it and tore it to pieces.

The Golden Earth Dragon's strength was not even in the same league as these three level 100 summons.

System: Your pet Golden Earth Dragon has died.

Nie Yan was just about to approach the Star Sacrifice Platform when he noticed this situation and quickly stopped, slowly retreating back.

Unable to lure the Rock Astrologers away from the Star Sacrifice Platform, Nie Yan's plans were all ruined.

He wandered around outside for a long time, unable to find a suitable method, and could only wait for the next natural day, when all the skills had cooled down.

Nie Yan ran to a corner in the canyon, then logged off and exited the game.

I wonder how the situation is with the Niu Ren Tribe. Nie Yan dialed Guo Huai's voice call. Guo Huai was also using a game pod, so he could talk directly to Guo Huai in the game.

Guo Huai sent Nie Yan some videos, and Nie Yan watched them on his phone while listening to Guo Huai describe the general situation.

The war at Blackrock Fortress was in full swing. The players from Zhan Dao Shi Xue formed a formation outside Blackrock Fortress. Three Ironclad Trebuchets aimed at the walls of Blackrock Fortress, and red-hot iron balls weighing twenty or thirty pounds were launched into the air, flying hundreds of yards and smashing into the city walls. Immediately, rubble flew everywhere, and several red-hot iron balls landed inside Blackrock Fortress, smashing into the crowd, instantly killing dozens of players, turning them into streaks of white light.

On the Niu Ren Tribe side, they launched several assaults on the Zhan Dao Shi Xue formation, trying to destroy the three Ironclad Trebuchets, but many obstacles had been set up around the Ironclad Trebuchets by the people from Angel Domination from the Saturian Empire. Demon Hunters had set up many traps around the three Ironclad Trebuchets, and Elemental Shamans had even filled the area within five hundred yards with Lightning Totems. Once players approached these Lightning Totems, the Lightning Totems would explode directly within a range of five yards, causing heavy losses to the Niu Ren Tribe players.

The people from Zhan Dao Shi Xue stayed put, constantly bombarding the city walls with the Ironclad Trebuchets. Soon, the walls of Blackrock Fortress were smashed to pieces.

Each of these Ironclad Trebuchets could launch five iron balls at the same time, with an attack interval of 120 seconds, making them quite powerful.

At this time, Blackrock Fortress was in chaos. Cui Can Dao Guang and Shui Se Yan Tou were in charge of commanding. The walls of Blackrock Fortress were under attack everywhere. Cui Can Dao Guang and Shui Se Yan Tou's goals were clear: they didn't expect to be able to defend Blackrock Fortress, but only to delay Zhan Dao Shi Xue's time as much as possible.

Currently, most of the players defending the city in Blackrock Fortress were from the five branch guilds, with a large number of people, about one hundred thousand, but their strength was not very good. Losing some of them wouldn't have a big impact on the Niu Ren Tribe.

After the Ironclad Trebuchets bombarded for nearly half an hour, the walls of Blackrock Fortress collapsed, and the people from several guilds of Zhan Dao Shi Xue poured in like a tide, engaging in melee combat inside Blackrock Fortress.

The fierce battle lasted for a whole day before it came to an end.

Blackrock Fortress fell.

The people from Zhan Dao Shi Xue began to advance towards the Niu Ren Tribe's headquarters, Crypt Fortress, which touched a nerve with the Niu Ren Tribe. Crypt Fortress absolutely could not be lost. The Niu Ren Tribe's investment in Crypt Fortress was quite large, and the Long Yue Conglomerate had also invested a large amount of funds in the fortress. If Crypt Fortress fell, these investments would be wasted, especially the Long Yue Conglomerate's investment, which would take at least 20 days to recover the cost. Now it had only been developed for a few days!

If Crypt Fortress could be developed, it would definitely become a metropolis in this area, second only to Carol City. Even if the Niu Ren Tribe exhausted all its strength, it could not allow Crypt Fortress to be destroyed by war!

It would take at least three hours for the main force of Zhan Dao Shi Xue to reach Crypt Fortress. It was necessary to delay them as much as possible!

The Niu Ren Tribe began to mobilize their operations in Carol City. Whether it was the Garan Temple or the Holy Roman Empire, they were already in a state of full preparation.

The Holy Roman Empire and the Garan Temple constantly sent out large numbers of troops to harass Zhan Dao Shi Xue, but they suffered a great loss from the Ironclad Trebuchets. One launch from the Ironclad Trebuchet could directly kill two or three hundred people from five or six hundred yards away. Its power was so strong that it was frightening!

After watching the video, Nie Yan roughly understood the situation. If Crypt Fortress fell, it would be a very big blow to the Niu Ren Tribe, and he had to go back quickly.

During the day, Nie Yan discussed with Guo Huai and the others, arranged the next steps, and strengthened their confidence. As long as he returned from the underworld, with the support of one million gold coins, things would definitely be much easier.

A day later, Nie Yan returned to the game again. He looked at the skill bar. A new day had begun, and all the skills had completely cooled down.

He began to continue probing the Star Sacrifice Platform, seeing the three Rock Astrologers walking to the other side of the platform.

Maybe it was an opportunity. Nie Yan slowly sneaked over. At a distance of about twenty yards from the Star Sacrifice Platform, a layer of faint light blocked his way. There was another layer of barrier here!

With this barrier, Nie Yan simply couldn't get close to the Star Sacrifice Platform.

Nie Yan was dumbfounded. This quest was simply impossible to complete at the current level!

Really having no other choice, Nie Yan prepared to leave, but at this moment, Bennett's spirit lingered nearby, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Nie Yan looked far to the east and suddenly discovered that about three hundred yards away from this Star Sacrifice Platform, there was a stone building, shaped like a tower, about five or six yards high. Nie Yan's heart stirred. There might be some building related to the quest over there.

Nie Yan touched over there and found a black stone tower, with a huge black gemstone at the top, emitting a hazy black light. The exterior of the stone tower was carved very delicately, covered with various star charts, like a deep night sky, as if you would fall into it with just one glance.

System: You have discovered a Star Tower.

Nie Yan checked his quest progress.

Quest progress: Destroy six Star Towers, enter the Star Sacrifice Platform, and obtain Phinas's Venom Sac.

Nie Yan looked around. In the shadowy darkness, he could vaguely see that there were five other Star Towers standing around the Star Sacrifice Platform, forming a hexagram array with the Star Sacrifice Platform as the center.

Nie Yan approached the Star Tower in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, Nie Yan drew the Zennarde's Sword, jumped high, and swung his sword. The sharp edge of the Zennarde's Sword penetrated the black gemstone at the top of the stone tower. The black gemstone cracked into pieces with a snap.

The indestructible Zennarde's Sword!

As the black gemstone shattered, the entire Star Tower collapsed with a bang, and dust flew everywhere.

System: You have destroyed a Star Tower.

Following the system's quest prompts, Nie Yan destroyed the remaining five Star Towers one by one.

When Nie Yan destroyed the last Star Tower, the barrier around the Star Sacrifice Platform shattered like glass with a crash and disappeared into the air.

The three Rock Astrologers on the platform all turned their heads to look at Nie Yan's location and actually left the Star Sacrifice Platform, walking towards Nie Yan.

Nie Yan was startled and quickly entered stealth mode, bypassing the three Rock Astrologers and speeding off into the distance.

If the Rock Astrologers discovered his location, they would instantly kill him without any suspense.

Not finding anything unusual, the Rock Astrologers returned the way they came and went back to the Star Sacrifice Platform.

After the barrier was broken, it was possible to lure the Rock Astrologers away. Forced to do so, Nie Yan summoned the Golden Earth Dragon again and also hired a level seven Holy Knight, Rein.

After planning for a moment, Nie Yan began to let the Holy Knight Rein and the Golden Earth Dragon attract the attention of the three Rock Astrologers from two different directions.

The Holy Knight Rein entered the Rock Astrologers' vision first. The Rock Astrologers waved their staffs and summoned three Rock Giant Wolves, which pounced on the Holy Knight Rein.

Under Nie Yan's command, the Holy Knight Rein turned around and ran.

Just then, the Golden Earth Dragon suddenly appeared on the other side, spitting out a Dragon Breath, bombarding the three Rock Astrologers. After being attacked, the Rock Astrologers surrounded the Golden Earth Dragon and slowly left the Star Sacrifice Platform.
