Chapter 116 The Human Thief

Under Nie Yan's control, the golden earth dragon and the zombie foreman in the distance slowly approached, taking the more secluded and obstacle-filled paths, to avoid being discovered by the group of players.

This group of players didn't sense Nie Yan's approach at all. They were still dealing with the zombie supervisor, who unleashed several powerful moves, sending the warriors in front flying. The warriors behind immediately stepped up to take their place. This group of players cooperated skillfully, it seemed they had farmed this Level 50 zombie supervisor more than once or twice.

Generally, in order to collect a complete set of equipment or farm various items, some player teams would frequently camp and repeatedly kill a single Lord. Lord-level creatures usually took at least a day or two to respawn, so guilds would often send some players to fixed locations nearby to grind monsters. When the Lord respawned, they would relay the message back to the guild, and the guild would immediately assemble a team to go.

Nirvana's Edge also followed this procedure for farming Lord creatures. Nirvana's Edge had powerful shield warriors like Brightmoon, Cold Shadow, and Yi Yan, each leading a group of people to form teams and refresh Lords everywhere, resulting in extremely high efficiency.

Nie Yan wondered which guild these people belonged to. He examined their guild badges, which were engraved with a black eagle pattern. Seeing this black eagle pattern, Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat. They were members of Fallen Angel! He had collected some information about Fallen Angel. Fallen Angel was the largest guild in the Undead Empire's capital, the Necropolis of the Dead. They could be said to have absolute power in the Necropolis of the Dead. Their guild leader was a Warlock named Duo Duo, a master of curses and dark arcane magic, and a king of the underworld.

Controlling the Necropolis of the Dead was equivalent to controlling the entire Undead Empire. This statement was by no means an exaggeration. The Undead Empire had a total of more than thirty cities, and the Necropolis of the Dead alone accounted for 35% of the entire Undead Empire's population. There were only a handful of guilds in the entire Undead Empire that could contend with Fallen Angel.

Under normal circumstances, because lawful good and lawful evil players didn't have much contact with each other, the two sides rarely paid attention to what was happening in the opposing faction. Only some guild leaders would collect information about the opposing faction. Nie Yan's understanding of Fallen Angel was limited to information he had gathered, and it was difficult to confirm the accuracy of this information.

Killing this group of players was equivalent to angering Fallen Angel. He would definitely face even more intense pursuit. Was it worth it?

After thinking about it, Nie Yan decided to take action. He didn't have much interaction with Fallen Angel, and the next time the Dark Transfer was activated, the landing point might not be near the Necropolis of the Dead. This time, he had come here solely to resell some equipment and would leave after staying for five days. Although Fallen Angel was powerful, it would still be very difficult for them to hunt him down. Especially the dark environment of the Underworld, which provided favorable conditions for a Thief's stealth. It would be very difficult to find a Thief in such a dark and complex environment.

As for those quests, Nie Yan might have to wait a while before starting them. The requirements for the quests he had were too high, and he wasn't confident in completing them yet.

With that thought, Nie Yan no longer hesitated, and manipulated the zombie foreman and the golden earth dragon to get closer, looking for an opportunity.

At this time, the zombie supervisor's health was only about 5% left, and the skin all over its body took on an abnormal black color.

"The zombie supervisor is berserk, everyone be careful! Magic users, scatter!" Dark shouted. As soon as his voice fell, the surrounding magic-type players quickly scattered, distributing themselves in various positions suitable for attack.

"Magic users, maintain your output!"

"Bloodscar, hold on! Pin his feet!"

After the zombie supervisor went berserk, the undead warriors in front couldn't hold on. The zombie supervisor kicked out, sending several undead warriors flying. The zombie supervisor stepped forward, and an undead warrior in black battle armor charged towards the zombie supervisor, pinning the zombie supervisor's right foot just as it was about to step, immediately trapping the zombie supervisor in place.

Unable to move, the zombie supervisor bent down and prepared to strike the undead warrior named Bloodscar.

The undead warrior immediately switched to a defensive stance.

Intense magic exploded all over the zombie supervisor's body.

All the magic users were nervously dealing damage.

This group of people had a good strategy for killing the zombie supervisor. If there were no outside interference, they could kill the zombie supervisor very easily.

Dark revealed a hint of excitement. Bloodscar's movements were very precise, and success was in sight.

However, something unexpected happened. Just as they were confident of killing the zombie supervisor, three zombie foremen charged over from the side.

The three zombie foremen lunged at three necromancers, their blades falling swiftly, and the three necromancers fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

"Careful! Zombie foremen!"

"Warriors! Quickly have the warriors hold them back!"

The group of players fell into a commotion.

Discovering the three zombie foremen, Dark was shocked. The zombie foremen in the vicinity had all been cleared out. Where did these three zombie foremen come from? And they appeared too suddenly, suddenly charging out of the darkness on the side. They didn't even have time to prepare! Moreover, their coordination was truly seamless. They divided their labor and cooperated, instantly killing three necromancers. Dark felt his heart bleeding. Each necromancer lost in the team greatly increased the risk of their team being wiped out.

All of this happened too quickly!

"Warriors, hold the zombie foremen!" Dark quickly manipulated the undead he had summoned to charge towards the zombie foremen.

After killing the three necromancers, the three zombie foremen immediately pounced on the other necromancers. The remaining six necromancers scattered in all directions.

As one of the necromancers was fleeing, the shadows behind him suddenly twisted, and a figure appeared behind him, followed by a blazing black flame appearing in front of his neck.

A cold light flashed, Throat Cut!

The Zennarde's Sword in Nie Yan's hand spat out a man-eating glow, slicing across his neck, and in an instant, blood spurted out.

The necromancer's foot that had just landed revealed a trace of disbelief. The staff in his hand was held at a slant, and he was about to cast Sacrifice Shield, but unfortunately, he was a step too slow.

Nie Yan's critical hit instantly killed the necromancer.

Dark was stunned when he saw this figure. "It's that human Thief, block him!" He waved his staff and cast Shadow Shackles.

The shadows around Nie Yan were like invisible ropes, binding towards Nie Yan.

Sensing the anomaly around him, Nie Yan used Gale Step to block the Shadow Shackles, disappearing from Dark's sight and dissolving into the darkness.

Dark missed his attack, and was shocked. This guy could run rampant in the Underworld for so long, he was indeed extraordinary.

"Everyone, be careful of ambushes!" As soon as he finished speaking, a violent magical fluctuation startled him. He scanned his surroundings and discovered a golden earth dragon standing among the dark rocks to the side. It was only revealing half of its body, and if one didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to spot in such a chaotic situation. By the time Dark discovered the golden earth dragon, he was already too late. After chanting a spell, the golden earth dragon cast Meteor Fall!

A huge meteor burning with raging flames smashed down towards the group of players.

"It's an area-of-effect spell, everyone run!"

Heart-wrenching screams erupted from the crowd. The group scattered quickly, but their escape speed was ultimately no match for the speed of the falling meteor.

With a loud bang, flames scattered and burned fiercely.

All the players within a 20x20-yard radius were cleared out.

System: Honorable kill, Civilian, Quantity: 1, Obtained 3 honor points.

System: Honorable kill, Civilian, Quantity: 1, Obtained 5 honor points.

.......

Nie Yan glanced at the system notification. This one fireball took out at least twenty people.

The golden earth dragon's Meteor Fall didn't cover the zombie supervisor, so the zombie supervisor's aggro was still focused on this group of lawful evil players.

"Withdraw, everyone, withdraw!" Seeing the situation developing beyond his expectations, and seeing the tragic state after the Meteor Fall, Dark immediately ordered the players to retreat.

The group of lawful evil players scattered and fled.

The undead warrior named Bloodscar saw the players behind him collapsing, and had no intention of continuing to fight. He retreated quickly. How could the zombie supervisor let him leave so easily? It kicked out, hitting Bloodscar's shield. The unparalleled power collided, and with a dull thud, Bloodscar was sent flying.

Bloodscar landed, retreating dozens of steps before stabilizing himself. He was left with only a sliver of health, but unfortunately, the necromancers were too busy taking care of themselves and couldn't take care of him anymore.

A figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Bloodscar was suddenly startled and raised his shield to block, but the person behind him was too fast. The sharp weapon pierced into his back.

Bloodscar was considered a top-tier undead warrior in Fallen Angel, Level 47, with a set of dark protection gear. He was ranked at least in the top three in Fallen Angel. Fallen Angel was no less talented than Nirvana's Edge. It was quite remarkable that he could be ranked in the top three in Fallen Angel, his reaction and awareness were first-class, but unfortunately, he met Nie Yan.

Bloodscar was kicked away by the zombie supervisor, retreating dozens of steps, suffering a strong dazed effect. His reaction and speed were reduced to the lowest point, making it difficult to even move. Even a god-level player probably couldn't defend in this situation.

Nie Yan's grasp of the overall situation was quite accurate. He realized there was an advantage to be gained here, and it was a lawful evil MT. Naturally, he wouldn't let it go. After locking onto his position, he delivered a precise Sap.

Bloodscar was stunned by Nie Yan before he could even react. Nie Yan used a Backstab, then a Hemorrhage, and Bloodscar fell to the ground. A piece of equipment dropped on the ground, a black greatshield.

Seeing that it was a shield, Nie Yan's heart stirred, and he put the shield into his bag.
