Chapter 405 Cage (Today's fourth update, seeking monthly tickets)

Chapter 1 The Beginning

Nie Yan passed through the misty area. In the distance, a huge hound came into view. It was the size of an ordinary brown bear, covered in thick fur that dragged on the ground. It lolled its scarlet tongue, which radiated scorching heat.

It was a fire-type creature and could use flames!

The hound paced restlessly in the cave, a thick iron chain locked around its neck. The other end of the chain was firmly embedded in the rock, restricting its movements. Its activity area was very small, but it had ranged attacks, which were extremely threatening to players. As soon as it detected someone nearby, it would immediately spew a mouthful of fire.

Nie Yan slowly approached in stealth, about thirty yards away from it, and cast a Detection spell.

Blackflame Hellhound: Level 70 Lord, HP 320000/320000.

Another Level 70 Lord, with a full 320,000 HP. This Blackflame Hellhound guarded this place, and Nie Yan simply couldn't get past. The dark and gloomy cave ahead seemed to have no end.

It was absolutely impossible for Nie Yan to kill this Blackflame Hellhound with his current strength. He visually measured the length of the chain on the Blackflame Hellhound, about ten yards or so.

The only way was to rush past!

But rushing past under the Blackflame Hellhound's feet wasn't going to be easy.

Nie Yan gradually crept towards the Blackflame Hellhound, getting closer and closer, about twenty yards away. The Blackflame Hellhound suddenly moved, pouncing towards Nie Yan and spewing a scorching flame from its mouth.

Flames blazed, and the heat was overwhelming.

Nie Yan activated the God's Blessing skill, bracing himself against the flames and charging straight ahead.

The flames poured down on Nie Yan, rapidly dissipating after touching his body. The flames crackled and popped, but they couldn't harm Nie Yan in the slightest. God's Blessing! Spell immunity!

The exploding firelight stung Nie Yan's eyes.

At that moment, the Blackflame Hellhound suddenly accelerated and pounced on him, its sharp claws whistling as it sought to tear Nie Yan to shreds.

Just as the Blackflame Hellhound's claws were about to attack him, Nie Yan suddenly used Gale Step. With a clang, he used the invincibility effect of Gale Step to block the Blackflame Hellhound's attack.

Nie Yan's body slipped under the Blackflame Hellhound's body, nearly being crushed by it.

He accelerated and ran wildly, using an Acceleration Scroll and activating Gale Retreat. He had to get past!

The Blackflame Hellhound missed its attack. After landing on the ground, it quickly turned around and pounced on Nie Yan again.

Nie Yan's speed was clearly not in the same league as the Blackflame Hellhound's. In a short time, the Blackflame Hellhound caught up from behind. The Blackflame Hellhound swiped down at Nie Yan's back with its claws.

Shadow Waltz!

With a clang, Nie Yan used the first two seconds of invincibility from Shadow Waltz to block the Blackflame Hellhound's attack, but the immense force from behind still sent him flying.

Nie Yan flew backwards in the air, braced his right hand against the ground, flipped over, and landed on his feet, barely managing to stay upright.

Before Nie Yan could make any move, the Blackflame Hellhound had already caught up. Not daring to be negligent, he ran for his life.

Without Gale Step, without Shadow Waltz, what could Nie Yan use to withstand the Blackflame Hellhound's attacks?

The Blackflame Hellhound's attack speed was too fast, several times faster than Nie Yan's. It couldn't be dodged with simple movements.

If the Blackflame Hellhound hit Nie Yan, it would likely be an instant kill.

Nie Yan had reached his speed limit, constantly changing direction, dodging the Blackflame Hellhound's attacks in an S-shape. The Blackflame Hellhound paused slightly, but still pounced with maximum speed.

Just as the Blackflame Hellhound was about to pounce on Nie Yan, Nie Yan suddenly shot out a strand of spider silk with his left hand. The spider silk adhered to the rock wall more than five yards away. With a sudden pull, his body flew sideways, temporarily avoiding the Blackflame Hellhound's attack.

The Blackflame Hellhound still pursued relentlessly, its claws only inches away from Nie Yan's back.

Nie Yan flew sideways for more than ten yards. He retracted the spider silk, landed on the ground, staggered a few steps, and barely managed to stand firm.

In that instant, the Blackflame Hellhound pounced behind Nie Yan, its claws getting closer and closer. Nie Yan seemed completely unaware.

Just when tragedy was about to happen, and the Blackflame Hellhound was about to kill Nie Yan with one blow, things suddenly took a turn. The thick iron chain holding the Blackflame Hellhound suddenly tightened. The chain was too short! A powerful force tore at the Blackflame Hellhound's neck, pulling it backwards.

The Blackflame Hellhound was pulled back several steps by the chain. It pounced again, but was immediately pulled back by the chain. The chain was taut, and no matter how it pounced, it couldn't attack Nie Yan.

The length of the chain had reached its limit. It angrily spewed flames, and balls of fire rained down on Nie Yan's body. Nie Yan's God's Blessing state had not yet disappeared.

Nie Yan smiled slightly. As expected, his estimated distance was correct. Although his heart was pounding, he was also very fortunate. He had finally made it through, safe and sound.

Nie Yan quickly left the Blackflame Hellhound's attack range and flew forward.

More than fifty yards away from the Blackflame Hellhound, Nie Yan slowed down. He was finally safe.

Looking back, the Blackflame Hellhound was standing there, panting heavily, occasionally exhaling a hot breath or two.

Having shaken off the Blackflame Hellhound, Nie Yan continued to travel through the winding passage. After traveling several hundred yards, a secret chamber appeared before Nie Yan. It was a very small secret chamber, about 3x3 yards, with the entrance surrounded by iron bars. The iron bars were made of a strange dark metal, containing rich magical elements. The iron bars were locked with a huge iron lock.

The iron bars looked very strong.

Nie Yan looked inside the iron bars. A thin old man was bound to the wall inside. His wrists and ankles were all cast in iron rings and then locked with thick iron chains. He could only walk around slightly in the corner of the secret chamber.

The old man's cloth robe was a bit faded, but he still looked energetic. He was not tall, but he gave off a feeling of explosive power.

Nie Yan raised an eyebrow. It was the last hostage!

Nie Yan cast a Super Identification spell on the old man.

Parrot: Level 70 Lord, Thief, Elder of the Thieves Guild, Marquis.

This old man's status was not low. He was actually an elder of the Thieves Guild and held the title of Marquis. Thinking about the journey to find him, it was really not easy!

Nie Yan examined the iron bars. The iron bars were composed of thick steel bars, with tiny runes engraved on them. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see them at all.
