Fa Biao De Wo Niu
Chapter 386 Fenas's Fangs (First Update Today)
The camouflage skill on the Camouflage Gem was already invalid. Camouflage couldn't be used while attacking enemies. Once he attacked an enemy, or was attacked by one, the camouflage skill would be interrupted, and it would take a full real-world day to cool down.
Unable to use the camouflage skill, he could only use skills like Stealth.
After thinking for a moment, Nie Yan swapped out the Crawler Ring. The Crawl skill on the Crawler Ring was still on cooldown, so he put on the Gnome Ring instead. The Gnome Ring could additionally increase some hidden attributes.
Nie Yan recalled the mercenary Kressy, then entered Stealth, and proceeded deeper into the village.
He carefully moved through the shadows in the corner of the wall, occasionally having Spider People pass by him.
Without the camouflage skill, trying to pass through such a densely populated area of monsters without being discovered was an extremely difficult task.
Nie Yan's movements were extremely cautious, afraid of making even the slightest mistake.
When he passed a corner, seven tall and sturdy Spider People appeared ahead. They were elites! They wielded huge scythes, their faces ferocious, their eyes scanning the surroundings.
This block was sealed off by these elite Spider People. Nie Yan looked ahead, vaguely seeing some flickering flames in the distance. Figures swayed around the firelight, the scene quite grand, as if they were holding a sacrificial ceremony.
These Spider People blocked the path. They only left a gap between them that was wide enough for one person to pass through, their snow-white scythes seemingly ready to swing down at any moment.
Nie Yan thought for a moment. The Gnome Ring might be able to come in handy at this time. He activated the Transform Gnome skill on the Gnome Ring, and his body quickly shrunk, becoming about one-third of its original size.
A magical skill!
When he looked around again, the surrounding environment had completely changed. Everything became unimaginably huge. The seven elite Spider People not far away looked like giants, the houses were ridiculously tall, and the debris piled around them had suddenly become several times larger.
It was as if he had suddenly arrived in the land of giants.
Nie Yan was a little uncomfortable, but soon, he got used to it somewhat. He jumped over a 'giant rock' and walked toward the distance, sticking to the corner of the house.
A 'huge' rat crawled out of a hole in the corner, holding something to its mouth with its front paws, chewing on it. Its beady eyes cautiously looked around, and then it scurried into the cave next to it.
The rat startled Nie Yan. In his eyes, this rat was the size of a wolfhound, which was really a bit scary.
After his body became smaller, his movement speed was also much slower than before.
Nie Yan slowly approached the elite Spider People. Looking up at them, their height made him look up in awe. If he wanted to attack these Spider People now, he could only sigh in vain at the back of their heads, unable to reach them!
He had to jump hard to reach the Spider People's shoulders. And these Spider People could sweep him away with a swing of their scythes.
The Spider People were a little restless, as if they had noticed something. Nie Yan quickly stopped.
The Spider People looked around, found nothing, and spoke something in Spider-People language, returning to normal.
They didn't realize that Nie Yan was right at their feet.
Nie Yan carefully passed through the gap between them, hid in the corner of the wall, and bypassed the Spider People.
Smoother than expected!
After walking through a narrow alley, there was an open square in the distance, with an altar in the middle. A bonfire was burning fiercely, surrounded by Spider People. On the altar stood an elderly Spider-People priest, his skin as old as withered bark, his body hunched over, making it difficult to walk even a single step. His left hand supported a wooden staff, and his right hand held a slender spike, completely blood-red, crystal clear.
Next to him was a Spider-People girl, tied up and looking dejected.
He chanted something, waving the spike in his hand, and dark auras flowed in his hand.
They seemed to be performing an ancient ritual.
Occasionally, some voices came, but unfortunately, Nie Yan couldn't understand them.
Nie Yan noticed that the light orb beside him was jumping violently, looking very excited, flying towards the spike in the priest's hand.
Nie Yan's eyes were drawn to the spike, observing it. It was about five inches long, like the tooth of something, like a ruby carving, emitting a faint red glow. There were also blood vessels on it, but they were somewhat dim.
A voice seemed to be summoning Nie Yan, get it, get it!
The old Spider-People priest let out a heavy roar, spitting out a series of strange syllables. He suddenly straightened his body, took the spike in his hand, and stabbed it into the Spider-People girl's arm. Blood spurted out, and the spike seemed to suddenly come alive. The blood vessels on it began to swell, constantly absorbing blood, the blood flowing, emitting a dazzling red light.
More than ten minutes later, the sacrificial ceremony ended. The Spider-People girl was on her last breath and was carried away. The old Spider-People priest stuck the spike in the center of the altar.
Bennett's soul hovered and flew around the spike.
Quest Progress: Obtain Finaas' Fang.
So that spike was Finaas' Fang!
It should be a quest item, Nie Yan thought. With so many Spider People watching, getting Finaas' Fang was not an easy task. After checking, he could use a random teleport scroll here, so he was relieved.
Nie Yan, in his shrunken form, sneaked towards the altar in the distance, dodging the nearby Spider People.
A Spider Person walked towards him. Nie Yan rolled away, dodging it. He went wherever there were bushes or rocks to hide, and gradually, he was only a dozen yards away from the old Spider-People priest and Finaas' Fang.
The Spider People outside began to celebrate. Nie Yan didn't know what they were celebrating. He didn't understand the language. He was just an outsider. He was only staring at Finaas' Fang in the distance.
The old Spider-People priest was sitting about three or four yards away from the place where Finaas' Fang was placed. His skinny body seemed so old that he couldn't walk anymore, but Nie Yan understood that this old Spider-People priest was definitely the most difficult character among all the Spider People here. He exuded a dangerous aura.
He should be a Lord. Nie Yan didn't dare to be careless. He used a Shadow Dance to deepen the stealth effect.
Nie Yan's stealth ability was not inferior to Thieves who had changed jobs at level sixty or seventy, but he was still extra careful.
Better safe than sorry!
The old Spider-People priest sat for a while, seeming a little bored and sleepy. He stood up and walked slowly towards the distance, getting farther and farther away from Finaas' Fang.
Good opportunity!
Nie Yan took the opportunity to approach Finaas' Fang, getting closer and closer, watching as he was about to touch it.
The old Spider-People priest suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Finaas' Fang. Seeing that Finaas' Fang was still there, his expression relaxed slightly, and he looked around.
Nie Yan stopped and broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to move. The old Spider-People priest's sharp eyes were like sharp knives, making Nie Yan's hair stand on end.
He didn't find anything and turned to walk away.
Seeing the old Spider-People priest leave more than ten yards away, Nie Yan suddenly sped forward, grabbed Finaas' Fang, and with a hiss, a strong burning pain came from his hand. A puff of white smoke rose from the palm of his hand, as if his palm had been corroded by something.
This unexpected event caught Nie Yan off guard. He let go of his hand, and Finaas' Fang fell to the ground.
A damage value of more than one thousand popped up above Nie Yan's head, and he slowly revealed himself.
Not good, he was discovered!
At this time, the Spider People beside him stirred, pointing at Nie Yan and shouting angrily. Some Spider People pounced on Nie Yan.
The old Spider-People priest turned his head, locked his eyes on Nie Yan, and let out an angry, deep roar. He took out a black staff, and black magic elements flowed with it. He spat out a few syllables, and the shadows around him gathered towards Nie Yan, and a heavy pressure came, as if to crush Nie Yan.
Nie Yan used Gale Step to dodge the old Spider-People priest's attack. Taking advantage of the three seconds of invincibility, he grabbed Finaas' Fang and threw it into his bag. If it weren't for the invincible state, he wouldn't dare to hold Finaas' Fang in his hand at all!
The toxin of Finaas' Fang was too strong, it could knock Nie Yan down in just a few seconds.
Seeing that Nie Yan had dodged his attack, the old Spider-People priest spat out a string of syllables, and a black lava poured down on the place where Nie Yan was.
With a bang, half of the altar was destroyed, but Nie Yan had already disappeared from the spot.
After Nie Yan got Finaas' Fang, he immediately used a random teleport scroll. With a flash of his eyes, he was already in another place, still a dark environment, like a desert. He ran wildly towards the graveyard town, following the coordinates on the big map.
He glanced at his own state, and there was an addition below the state.
The Spider-People Priest Kas' Wrath: The Spider-People Priest Kas is angry. He is looking for your whereabouts everywhere.
After seeing this state, Nie Yan didn't dare to be careless and used a speed scroll. He would return to the graveyard town first!
He flew across the wilderness, which was very far from the graveyard town. It would take at least twenty minutes to get there. After passing through a desert, a figure appeared in front of him a dozen yards away. It was the old Spider-People priest he had encountered in the Spider-People tribe. He waved his staff, and the sky was suddenly covered by a black cloud. The magical elements flew wildly and violently. The black cloud was about to crush the city, and a roaring flame poured down.
This old Spider-People priest didn't know what method he used, but he had tracked him down in such a short time.
Seeing that he was about to be swallowed by the flames, Nie Yan quickly used a random teleport scroll and disappeared again.
When he reappeared, he didn't know where it was. It was a jungle. After he determined the direction, he accelerated and ran wildly, using all kinds of acceleration skills, like a shadow, passing over the grassland.
