Chapter 387 Before Departure (Second Update Today)

Nie Yan used several random teleport scrolls in a row, dodging the Old Spider Priest's pursuit. The landing point of the last random teleport scroll was only about three minutes away from Graveyard Town. He immediately sprinted wildly, flying towards Graveyard Town.

If he couldn't successfully get rid of the Old Spider Priest this time, he might not have another chance. He only had a few random teleport scrolls left in his backpack.

The lighthouse of Graveyard Town flickered in the distance. In Nie Yan's eyes, these lights were his lifeline.

Nie Yan increased his speed to the maximum, getting closer and closer to Graveyard Town.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in his path. It stood suspended in the air, about a yard above the ground, its figure hunched over. It was the Old Spider Priest.

The Old Spider Priest waved his staff, and a black fireball shot towards Nie Yan.

Seeing the black fireball whistling towards him, Nie Yan used Gale Step. With a bang, the black fireball exploded on him, sparks flying everywhere.

After blocking the fireball, Nie Yan had a handful of Flash Dust in his hand. With a bang, the Flash Dust exploded, emitting a dazzling light.

The blinding light shook the Old Spider Priest's eyes. Nie Yan brushed past him and ran away quickly.

The Old Spider Priest turned his head and finally recovered from the blinding effect of the Flash Dust. He saw Nie Yan wave his right hand and throw out another cloud of Flash Dust. With another bang, the Flash Dust exploded again.

Nie Yan switched factions. The entrance to Graveyard Town was already in sight in the distance.

Dozens of players passed by, a little surprised that the Old Spider Priest, a level 60 monster, would appear near Graveyard Town. Several necromancers summoned skeleton soldiers, surrounding the Old Spider Priest.

The Old Spider Priest waved his staff, and a rain of fire poured down, instantly evaporating the skeleton soldiers, causing them to disappear.

The necromancers opened their mouths. This old man was too tough!

"Damn, it's a level 60 Lord!"

"Everyone, run!"

But by the time they shouted, it was too late. The Old Spider Priest cast an area-of-effect spell, and waves of fire slammed down, engulfing them. They instantly turned into streaks of black light.

The Old Spider Priest brushed past these players, continuing to pursue Nie Yan.

More and more Evil and Orderly players gathered nearby. Some shield warriors activated Charge and charged forward.

"Everyone, let's take down this Lord together!"

Seeing the shield warriors holding off the Old Spider Priest, the magic users in the back immediately began to attack. But the Old Spider Priest waved his staff, casting one spell after another, blasting the players to death. The shield warriors in front were also killed by an area-of-effect spell. The magic users in the back were stunned. This Lord was too strong!

Charging all the way, the Old Spider Priest slaughtered these players like pigs and dogs.

Groups of Evil and Orderly players fell to the ground.

He wasn't an ordinary Lord; he was a mutated Lord! Finally, a player realized this, and the group retreated in panic.

These Evil and Orderly players bought Nie Yan some time. Nie Yan reached the entrance of Graveyard Town, slowed his pace, concealed his face in his cloak, and walked into Graveyard Town.

The Old Spider Priest was getting closer and closer behind him. Although Nie Yan was nervous, he didn't dare to walk too fast, or he would arouse the suspicion of the guards.

The two skeleton guards of Graveyard Town discovered the Old Spider Priest and immediately waved their battle halberds, charging towards the Old Spider Priest.

Clang, clang, clang, the alarm bell of Graveyard Town rang. Several NPC necromancers hurriedly walked out of the town. They ran to the graveyard and chanted spell after spell. Skeletons were resurrected, densely packed together.

These skeletons surrounded the Old Spider Priest.

Nie Yan entered the town and saw groups of players surging towards the exit.

"I heard there's a monster siege, it seems to be a level 60 mutated Lord!"

"Let's go out together, maybe we can grab something."

Groups of players surged out, and the area where the Old Spider Priest was located was blocked by NPCs, players, and summoned skeletons. A chaotic battle began. The Old Spider Priest waved his staff, casting area-of-effect skills one after another, clearing out patches of players and summoned skeletons. The NPCs of Graveyard Town were not to be outdone, and they fought back.

Spells streaked across the sky, landing on the Old Spider Priest, exploding with a series of bangs.

The outside of Graveyard Town was already a chaotic battlefield.

Similar to the last time he led the Order Guardians to the village, Nie Yan was quite calm. He figured it wouldn't be long before the Old Spider Priest was killed. No one would know that he had led the Old Spider Priest here. He checked the time; he had a little over an hour before he could return to the surface.

Nie Yan disposed of everything in his backpack, including health potions, selling them all to the shops. The equipment he had collected along the way was handed over to Rensheng Ruxi to sell at the Graveyard auction house. He took the lion's share of the money, and a portion was given to Rensheng Ruxi as a reward.

In his backpack, he only had a Black Serpent King Shield and a Necromantic Skull whose purpose he didn't know. Even the Soul Pendant was emptied. All fifty slots were cleared. He went to the scroll merchant and bought fifty stacks of Death Ripple scrolls, filling the Soul Pendant. After preparing these things, he walked towards the tavern.

After a while, he and Duo Duo met at the tavern at the agreed time.

Duo Duo and Kuang'ao Zhanqi were both there, and they also brought two Angel Corps members who were their confidants.

"Did you bring the things?" Nie Yan asked, wondering how the things Duo Duo had prepared for him were.

Duo Duo had Kuang'ao Zhanqi and the other two Angel Corps members trade the things to Nie Yan and said, "Take a look for yourself. I've prepared a total of two hundred and seventy pieces of equipment and five fifty-six slot backpacks for you."

He didn't expect Duo Duo to even prepare backpacks for him. Nie Yan checked. Most of these pieces of equipment increased Dark Vision, at least +10 or more, totaling one hundred and eighty pieces. There were also quite a few pieces that increased Focus, +30 or more, totaling sixty pieces. There were also thirty pieces of equipment that increased Willpower, among other things.

"This batch of equipment cost about 20,000 gold coins. If you take it to the surface, you'll probably get rich," Duo Duo said, looking at Nie Yan. "I hope you don't forget our agreement. I'll wait for your news in five days."

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future," Nie Yan said. Maintaining a good cooperative relationship with Angel Corps would definitely be beneficial to the future development of Nirvana Guild.

Nie Yan calculated that if he sold all of this batch of equipment, it would be worth at least a million gold coins, maybe even more!

Nie Yan completed the transaction with Duo Duo and the others, trading the Black Serpent King Shield to them and paying over 10,000 gold coins, making it a fair transaction. Even if the guards of the Undead Empire found out about Nie Yan's identity, they would have an excuse. Nie Yan was trading with them as an Evil and Orderly player, and they didn't know that Nie Yan was a Good and Orderly person. The main brain couldn't access data from players' minds; that involved privacy.

As long as Nie Yan was careful and didn't get caught by the Evil and Orderly guards, the trade could continue.

"Did you bring out that level 60 mutated Lord outside?" Duo Duo asked. He vaguely guessed it. Nie Yan had caused such a big commotion as soon as he arrived.

"What's the situation outside?" Nie Yan smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying, and asked.

"That Spider Priest is very strong. He killed three NPCs and over a hundred players in Graveyard Town, but he's almost done for," Duo Duo said. Nie Yan could lead such a powerful mutated elite from the wilderness to the village. It made him look at Nie Yan in a new light. He didn't know how Nie Yan did it.

During this period, Duo Duo thoroughly investigated Nie Yan's background and gained a rough understanding of Nirvana Guild.

The Evil and Orderly and Good and Orderly factions had little contact. The border line would not be open until at least level 100. For the time being, everyone had no energy to focus their attention on the hostile faction. But now that Angel Corps and Nirvana Guild had a partnership, it was a different story.

"The things dropped by that mutated Lord shouldn't be too bad, don't miss out," Nie Yan said, smiling at Duo Duo.

Angel Corps' main force was probably already gathering nearby. Monsters killed purely by NPCs didn't drop equipment, but as long as the players dealt damage, equipment would drop. With the NPCs helping them deal damage, they naturally saved a lot of trouble.

"We owe it to you," Duo Duo said with a faint smile. If Nie Yan hadn't led the level 60 mutated Lord to Graveyard Town, they wouldn't have been able to get any benefits.

Both sides had benefited from this matter.

"I have one more thing here. Can you take a look?" Nie Yan said, placing the Necromantic Skull in his hand on the trading bar.

"Necromantic Skull?" Duo Duo was shocked. It could even summon mammoths. He asked in surprise, "Where did you get this thing?"

"I got it from farming Rum Spiders," Nie Yan said. Seeing Duo Duo's expression, he knew that this thing was definitely not simple. At the very least, it would definitely be very valuable. Being able to make the Guild Leader of Angel Corps so nervous, it probably wouldn't be less than 10,000 gold coins.

"You're really lucky. You can even farm such a good thing from Rum Spiders. The drop rate of this thing on Rum Spiders is definitely no more than one in several hundred thousand. Sell me this Necromantic Skull. I'll give you 30,000 gold coins. That's the market price. Ordinary skeleton soldier Necromantic Skulls are about a few thousand gold each. Since your Necromantic Skull summons mammoths, it'll be a bit more expensive," Duo Duo said frankly. He was quoting the actual price. He would have to cooperate with Nie Yan in the future, so he wouldn't take advantage of such a small thing.

"What is the Necromantic Skull used for?" Hearing Duo Duo's offer, Nie Yan was a little surprised. He asked curiously, wondering why this ordinary thing would be so valuable.
