The Steal skill had a very short cooldown, but the success rate was very low. When used on other monsters, you might succeed once in dozens of attempts. However, the Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na was a famous treasure trove, so the success rate when using Steal on her was extremely high. But every so often, she would summon a large group of Evil Mages, so ordinary thieves wouldn’t have a chance to come over and use Steal.

The reason Nie Yan was able to successfully steal was thanks to the spell immunity from the God's Blessing.

System: You have obtained 102 gold.

Seeing this system notification, Nie Yan was startled. The Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na was indeed rich, giving out over a hundred gold at once.

Time passed second by second. Dense magic bombarded Nie Yan's body, exploding with "peng, peng, peng."

Sparks flew everywhere, and the firelight obscured Nie Yan's vision. He could only strain his eyes, vaguely judging the position of the Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na by feel.

Nie Yan stared intently at the stopwatch attached to Faith, timing it. As soon as the time was up, without hesitation, he would activate the Random Teleport Scroll!

Steal!

Steal!

Nie Yan continuously used Steal on the Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na, and also managed to snag a High-Grade Area-of-Effect Magic Scroll and two Soul Gems.

A High-Grade Area-of-Effect Magic Scroll sold for around five hundred gold at Scroll Master Davina’s place. In addition, each Soul Gem was worth about fifty gold. Calculating it like this, Nie Yan had indeed earned quite a bit.

It was just a pity that the items in the Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na’s bag were fixed, and would only increase after a period of time. Regularly coming here to steal from the Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na definitely wouldn’t work; the items in her bag would definitely decrease.

Because Nie Yan was stealing from her for the first time, her bag was full, so the success rate was particularly high. Items constantly flowed out of her bag.

After a while, another Steal success message appeared.

Before Nie Yan could clearly see what the item was, the stopwatch just happened to stop at that moment. A violent magic attack covered him, and the restless magic elements seemed ready to devour him.

Just as Nie Yan was about to be blasted to death by the violent magic, he decisively crushed the Random Teleport Scroll.

"Peng, peng, peng," the exploding magic burst open frantically, flames scattering and engulfing Nie Yan.

However, Nie Yan's figure gradually dissipated in the magic, leaving no corpse behind.

Light and shadow distorted, and when Nie Yan reappeared, he was in the middle of a vast desert. In the endless sand, he couldn’t distinguish the direction at all.

Everywhere in the desert were moving giant lizards. They were thick-skinned and tough, as if covered in a layer of steel armor. Their round eyes were like copper bells.

Seeing the nearby giant lizards, Nie Yan's expression changed drastically. These were all Level 300 ordinary monsters, Steel Armor Giant Lizards!

Crap, what part of the map is this?

Nie Yan hadn't expected to teleport to such a dangerous area.

The Steel Armor Giant Lizard's perception was very strong. From over fifty yards away, it locked onto Nie Yan and charged toward him frantically.

Its speed was at a monster level, instantly closing the distance to only a dozen yards from Nie Yan. It pounced forward, its whole body burning with flames. Nie Yan only felt a scorching flame rushing towards him.

Nie Yan was startled by this Steel Armor Giant Lizard. Before, when he was Level 180, he and his friends had formed a team to grind Level 300-plus ordinary monsters. A twenty-man team had spent over twenty minutes to barely kill a single Level 300 ordinary monster.

The current Nie Yan was no match for it.

Just as the Steel Armor Giant Lizard pounced forward, wanting to swallow Nie Yan in one bite, he quickly used a Random Teleport Scroll, teleporting away to dodge the Steel Armor Giant Lizard's attack.

The Steel Armor Giant Lizard missed its attack and blankly looked around. Not finding any trace of Nie Yan, it stopped and resumed its wandering state.

Nie Yan opened his eyes again to a lush green meadow, filled with various plants. Looking into the distance, it was still a vast desert. This green area was an oasis in the desert, and in the center of the oasis was a clear lake, its water shimmering.

Checking around and confirming that there were no monsters active here, he walked to the base of a large tree and began to cast a Return Scroll.

System: Return Scroll loading... 3%... 12%...

A flash of white light, and Nie Yan returned to the desert town of So Yu. Seeing the familiar buildings around him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally safe! He hadn't expected that it would take two Random Teleport Scrolls to escape. His luck was indeed a bit poor.

Nie Yan looked at the results of the Steal skill. He was astonished to see a pair of magical gauntlets in his bag. They lay quietly in his bag, a dark purple throughout, emitting a glittering radiance. They were inlaid with gold threads, and tiny gems were dotted between the gold threads. The gauntlets were covered with all sorts of patterns and runes. These patterns were full of the style of the Co-Governance Era. The gauntlets were covered in spikes, full of an uninhibited style.

Strands of bizarre energy swirled around the dark purple gauntlets, refracting waves of light.

After appraising them, the name of this item appeared before Nie Yan's eyes.

It was it! Nie Yan revealed an expression of wild joy.

I've searched far and wide, but it was right under my nose!

It was actually one of the pieces of the Tyrant Abak set, the gauntlets!

Nie Yan quickly looked at the Abak Gauntlets.

(Wandering Soul Princess Ai'Na’s Tracking: Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na will find you at all costs to take back the Sealed Hand.)

The Abak Gauntlets shimmered with purple light, and a dark, powerful force penetrated into Nie Yan’s body through the equipment on his hand, binding to his soul.

‘System: Warrior, you have found the Tyrant Abak’s Sealed Hand. Pursue the footsteps of history and seek the lost glory. Talk to Count Kerfield; he may know some clues. Warrior, you only have ten days. Count Kerfield is in some trouble.’

This was a bound item. After seeing the attributes, Nie Yan was stunned. This Abak piece was undoubtedly an extremely powerful piece of equipment, but it could only be worn at Level 180. A Level 180 Legendary set was the pinnacle of all Legendary items. As long as you had it, you wouldn't need to look for other equipment.

For such a piece of equipment to appear on the Level 60 Lord Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na was a bit surprising to Nie Yan. But after seeing the additional status, he understood and wryly smiled. This piece of equipment was going to be a hot potato. Being tracked by a Level 60 Lord was no fun.

Unless his teammates reached Level 60, he set a trap and lured her in to kill her, Nie Yan had to be careful until then. He wondered to what extent the Level 60 Lord Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na could track him. Nie Yan searched the official website. The official website said that if you triggered the hidden quest on the Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na, she would break away from the ordinary Lord state and become a monster that grew stronger the more she was killed. Every time she was killed, she would revive again after thirty days, becoming stronger by several degrees. At her strongest, she would become a Level 180 demonized Lord.

This was also why the Abak Gauntlets came from the Wandering Soul Princess Ai'Na.

After obtaining the first piece of the Abak set, Nie Yan had no choice but to enter the quest process of searching for the Tyrant Abak set.

If he could collect the Abak set and activate the Sword of Zennarde, from then on, he would be clad in divine equipment and look down upon the world!

The Dragon King Zennarde was a legendary figure from the Dark Era, and Abak was no less impressive, the tyrant of humanity during the Co-Governance Era. Obtaining such a set of equipment, who could stand against him when he reached Level 180?

However, the journey to collect the Abak set was long, and even at the fastest speed, it would take more than a year to reach Level 180. In this year, Nie Yan had to deal with many unknown situations. Would the Abak Sealed Hand be lost?

This Abak Sealed Hand did not belong to him yet; it could only be considered an important clue.

He had to repeatedly defeat the Wandering Soul Princess Ai’Na, until he killed her in her Level 180 demonized state, only then would he truly possess this Abak’s Sealed Hand!

Nie Yan thought for a moment, then put the Abak set into his bag and looked at the other gains. Della's Magic Device Book was for alchemists. It was a thick book, the cover a bit tattered and old, eroded by the wind a lot.

Della's Magic Device Book: Special item, limited to Advanced Alchemists and above.

This book was marked as a Legendary item, left behind by the Legendary figure Della. Della was a goblin alchemist. After he was captured by humans, he began his alchemical life in the prison of Carol City. The goblins organized several rescues, all to no avail. Later, the goblins used the powerful Colin Airship to fly to Carol City and rescue Della. However, the Colin Airship crashed in the desert. Later, humans only found Della's corpse. Della's Magic Device Book also disappeared without a trace.

Della's Magic Device Book was an alchemical item and could only be used by alchemists.

This thick Magic Device Book, he didn’t know what it recorded. Nie Yan opened the Magic Device Book. The dust raised in the Magic Device Book made him cough. On it, exquisite patterns came into his eyes.

Nie Yan's gaze was instantly drawn to it and focused on one of the items.
