Chapter 1 The Dark World

Here is a world of darkness, and thieves are the kings of darkness!

Dancing with the shadows!

"Ghost Wolf, do you feel something is wrong?" the undead warlock said to the necromancer.

The necromancer called Ghost Wolf warily swept his gaze into the darkness beside him, looked around, and found nothing. He added an Undead Perception skill to himself, but did not sense any undead aura nearby.

The Undead Perception skill can only sense nearby undead creatures and the approach of undead thieves, but they never imagined that what was approaching them was not an undead thief, but a human thief.

This group of people has never seen a human before. This closed underground city doesn't have many visitors from the surface. Occasionally, one or two appear, but most of them are sent back.

"Did you find anything?" the undead warlock asked, looking at Ghost Wolf.

Ghost Wolf shook his head and said, "No."

The undead warlock nodded and said, "Then maybe I was wrong."

Just a moment ago, when he released his perception, he seemed to have sensed something, but it was fleeting, and he didn't even have time to capture it.

It was this fleeting sense of crisis that made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

"We'll just be careful," Ghost Wolf said. There were six of them, so even if they encountered one or two thieves, there was nothing to fear.

Just then, a message suddenly came in the team chat, sent by Thief Six: "Found something strange, come and take a look!"

They were all very surprised. What did he mean by something strange?

The group hurried towards Thief Six.

Seeing the direction they were heading, Nie Yan's heart stirred. The direction this group was heading was exactly where the Golden Earth Dragon was!

They've discovered the Golden Earth Dragon! Nie Yan followed behind these people, keeping the Golden Earth Dragon in a wandering state, while the other five Bloodthirsty Wild Boars were active nearby, pretending to be ordinary wild monsters.

This group of undead players arrived at a relatively dense woodland, hidden among the trees.

The thief named Thief Six slowly revealed himself, pointed to the front, and asked, "What do you see there?"

In the direction he was pointing, a slightly chubby Golden Earth Dragon more than two yards tall was wandering around. After discovering the Bloodthirsty Wild Boar, it rushed up and knocked the Bloodthirsty Wild Boar to the ground with a few attacks. This Golden Earth Dragon looked majestic, its whole body shimmering with gold.

When the group saw the Golden Earth Dragon, they were stunned for a moment and said, "Is it a dragon?" They found it a bit unbelievable that a dragon would appear here.

"It seems to be a young dragon," Ghost Wolf said. Adult dragons are very large, so it is rare to see dragons of this size. It should be a young dragon.

"What do we do?" Thief Six asked, "Should we go up and take down this Golden Dragon?"

"What level is it?" Ghost Wolf asked.

"I didn't dare to go up. It's a dragon! So I called you over first. If something dangerous happens, Little Demon can pull me back first," Thief Six said, feeling a little nervous at the thought of a dragon creature in front of him.

A dragon, such a high-end creature!

They had never seen any dragons before. The most high-end creature they had seen might have been the Medusa Queen in a village attack event, who destroyed an entire village.

And dragons were even higher-end than Medusas. Even if the dragon in front of them seemed to be a young dragon.

The Little Demon they were talking about was the undead warlock. The undead warlock had a skill called Salvation Teleportation, which instantly pulled teammates from thirty or forty yards away to his side in order to rescue them. This salvation skill was only available underground. At the initial level, the skill cooldown was about an hour.

Thief Six was worried that he would be killed, so he had to call Little Demon over. If something went wrong when he was scouting the Golden Dragon, Little Demon could pull him back.

"Go ahead. If you encounter danger, send me a 9," Little Demon said. Thief Six's cautious attitude was correct. The number 9 meant "save me."

Hearing Little Demon's words, Thief Six entered stealth and approached the Golden Earth Dragon. He trusted Little Demon's skills very much. These six people had been adventuring together, and there were usually no major coordination errors.

He approached within about ten yards of the Golden Earth Dragon and cast Detection on it.

Golden Earth Dragon: Level 36, HP 3200.

He was stunned for a moment. How could a Golden Earth Dragon's attributes be so low? He looked at the monster's name and confirmed that it was indeed a Golden Earth Dragon. A dragon should at least be an elite or a lord, right?

"How is it?" Ghost Wolf asked in the voice chat.

"This dragon creature is a Golden Earth Dragon, but..."

"But what?"

"It's so strange. It's actually a normal monster, only level 36. What do we do now? Do we take it down?"

Ghost Wolf was also a little puzzled when he heard the news from Thief Six. It couldn't be. A dragon creature, actually a normal monster.

"Take it down!" Ghost Wolf thought for a moment and said. This Golden Earth Dragon might be some kind of special monster. Killing it might yield something special.

The group began to encircle the Golden Earth Dragon. The Undead Warrior took the lead, holding a heavy shield, and slowly approached the Golden Earth Dragon.

Seeing this group's formation, Nie Yan understood. These guys were planning to attack the Golden Earth Dragon, which was exactly what he wanted!

As they gathered to surround the Golden Earth Dragon, Nie Yan commanded the nearby Bloodthirsty Wild Boars to slowly approach, vaguely surrounding them. Once they made a move, Nie Yan would strike.

The Undead Warrior roared and charged at the Golden Earth Dragon.

The Golden Earth Dragon switched its target to the Undead Warrior, raised its claws, and pounced on him.

The Undead Warrior slammed his shield into the Golden Earth Dragon, dealing more than fifty points of damage. The Golden Earth Dragon's body paused for a moment, and it swiped down with its claws, causing a damage value of more than six hundred points to float above the Undead Warrior's head.

The damage startled them, and the undead warlock behind him quickly cast a heal on the Undead Warrior.

"It's a melee monster, everyone can output with confidence," Ghost Wolf said. If it were a ranged monster, it would have launched a ranged attack right away, not still be engaged in melee combat. They never imagined that this Golden Earth Dragon was a summoned creature controlled by someone.

Players can see the difference between pets and ordinary monsters when looking at pets of the same faction, but when looking at pets of opposing factions, they are displayed as ordinary monsters.

So Ghost Wolf and the others didn't recognize that this Golden Earth Dragon was Nie Yan's pet and assumed that it was an ordinary monster.

The Golden Earth Dragon's health slowly decreased. Under Nie Yan's control, it moved its position, bringing the undead warlock into its attack range. The undead warlock's Release Perception could sense the thief's position, posing a great threat to thieves.

First, take down the undead warlock Little Demon, Nie Yan thought.

This group was following the conventional mode: the Undead Warrior and Skeleton Warrior took the lead, the spellcasters output from behind, the undead warlock Little Demon was responsible for healing, and the undead thief circled behind the Golden Earth Dragon to output. This kind of cooperation should not have been a problem.

The undead warlock Little Demon was casting heals. He was concentrating on healing. According to the conventional mode, he would release Perception every ten seconds. As soon as he released Perception, he suddenly felt a chill behind him.

"Not good, there's a thief!" the undead warlock exclaimed. He quickly cast a Sacrifice Shield on himself.

Bang, Nie Yan's sword struck the shield on the undead warlock's body, and the shield shattered immediately.

The Sacrifice Shield could protect against 100% of the damage, but it would shatter after only one attack and consumed mana very quickly.

The undead warlock quickly retreated. He waved his right hand, and a Bone Prison, like a cocoon, quickly wrapped around him.

This Little Demon's movements were incredibly fast. In terms of reaction speed alone, he was no slower than Unkillable Scoundrel or Xia Chong Yu Bing.

Nie Yan was stabbed by the suddenly growing bone spurs, and damage values floated above his head. He quickly flew backwards.

The bones crisscrossed, leaving only gaps. The undead warlock could see the person outside through the gaps in the Bone Prison. When he saw Nie Yan's face, he was stunned. Nie Yan was not an undead, but a human!

A human had actually appeared here!

Nie Yan suddenly revealed a playful smile. The Golden Earth Dragon in the distance suddenly made a move, spewing a burst of scorching Dragon Breath. The Dragon Breath passed through the gaps in the Bone Prison and poured in, instantly turning the inside of the Bone Prison into a furnace.

The undead warlock Little Demon screamed and fell to the ground, instantly killed.

This Bone Prison could defend against physical attacks and ordinary single-target magic, but it was not very effective against all-encompassing group attacks. What it meant to be hoist with one's own petard, was probably like this.

If the Golden Earth Dragon attacked a spellcaster, it would basically be an instant kill.

Little Demon was suddenly killed by the Golden Earth Dragon, and Ghost Wolf and the others were stunned. How could the Golden Earth Dragon, which only knew melee attacks, suddenly know ranged attacks?

While they were stunned, Nie Yan had already pounced on Ghost Wolf, the Zennarde's Sword in his hand glowing with a man-eating light.

"Boss, be careful."

"Careful!"

Thief Six immediately abandoned the Golden Earth Dragon and pounced on Nie Yan, trying to intercept him.

At this moment, the Golden Earth Dragon struck the Undead Warrior in front of it again, dealing a critical hit of more than twelve hundred damage. The Undead Warrior, who didn't have much health to begin with, also immediately fell to the ground. Without the undead warlock, how could he withstand the Golden Earth Dragon's berserk attacks!

Including the Skeleton Warrior, two units fell in an instant.

They were all skilled players, but unfortunately, they had encountered Nie Yan! Moreover, Nie Yan had launched a sneak attack, so no matter how fast they reacted, it was a one-hit kill!

All of this happened too fast, so fast that they didn't have enough time to react.

At this time, the Bloodthirsty Wild Boars also surrounded them and charged towards the remaining Ghost Wolf and the others.
