Chapter 1 The Two Skills of the Ghost Dragon

The Ghost Dragon's previous two skills, including Soul Possession and Ghostly Roar, were both very useful. He wondered what kind of skills it would gain after advancing. He guessed they wouldn't be too bad. Although the Ghost Dragon was relatively weak in defense and physical attack, its value far exceeded that of the same-tier Dark Winged Dragon because of these two skills.

Nie Yan patiently observed the area and tracked the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons. After three days, he had a general understanding of their lifestyle. He made contact with one of the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons and found that these guys were outrageously strong, proficient in lightning, earth, and mental magic. Their combat power was terrifying.

He wanted to sneak into the depths of the dragon's lair, which might be a deadly risk. He wondered how that person had completed it in his previous life.

Yinhui Zhiye, Su Yue, and others were responsible for assisting Nie Yan, leveling up nearby occasionally, never straying far.

A Level 200 mutated Lord. Nie Yan frowned. He couldn't deal with a Lord of this level, let alone seven of them!

Yinhui Zhiye, Su Yue, and the others worked together to kill a Level 160 Elite War Wolf. Su Yue looked into the distance. Nie Yan was standing under a tree, deep in thought. He only saw his back.

"Boss, it's been three days, and there hasn't been any progress. Do you think Guild Leader Nie Yan can come up with a way to sneak in?"

"Hard to say, but these three days haven't been without gain." Yinhui Zhiye said, wondering what method Nie Yan was planning to use to sneak into the dragon's lair. After all, there were Level 200 mutated Lords, and seven of them! Was Nie Yan confident, or did he still have no clue?

Just staying here like this isn't going to work!

Yinhui Zhiye and Su Yue racked their brains, trying to help Nie Yan come up with a way to sneak in. The team chat fell into a long silence. Before long, a huge purple dragon flapped its wings in the dragon's lair and flew towards the eastern part of the Valley of Fate.

"Su Yue, keep an eye on it!" Nie Yan issued an order in the team chat. Whenever any of the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons left the dragon's lair, he would send a Thief to keep an eye on it, closely monitoring their whereabouts, the time they left the cave, and so on, to compile statistics.

Over these three days, Nie Yan had compiled the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons' daily routines. For about two hours each day, most of the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons would go out to forage for food. Three Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons would remain in the dragon's lair, making it the weakest time for defense. This was the best time to sneak in.

If there's really no other way, he could only try to take a risk!

Nie Yan was weighing the pros and cons when he received a message from Su Yue. The Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon was currently by a spring in the eastern part of the Valley of Fate, drinking water and heading back.

"Yinhui, how many times a day does the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon drink water on average?" Nie Yan asked, looking at Yinhui Zhiye behind him.

"Reporting to Guild Leader Nie Yan, according to the information collected in the past few days, it's about once a day, lasting about twenty minutes. But according to my observations, it's the same Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon that goes out to drink water every day," Yinhui Zhiye said.

"It's the same Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon?" Nie Yan frowned. He suddenly had an idea. "Do the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons all drink water in the same place?"

"Yes, as far as we've discovered, the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons all drink water at that spring," Yinhui Zhiye nodded. After being asked by Nie Yan, he immediately thought, could it be that Guild Leader Nie Yan wanted to intercept and kill the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon over there? But after thinking about it, it seemed impossible. These Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons were Level 200 mutated Lords. Even if the elite team from the Ni Ren Guild came, they wouldn't be able to deal with such powerful Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons!

"Take me over there to take a look!" Nie Yan said immediately.

"You guys keep an eye on things here. I'll take Guild Leader Nie Yan over there to take a look," Yinhui Zhiye said to the Thief team members.

"Understood!" The Thief members said in unison.

Two figures flashed through the jungle. Nie Yan and Yinhui Zhiye headed towards the eastern part of the Valley of Fate.

After about ten minutes, the two passed through a large area of dense jungle and entered an open plain. Continuing forward, there was a small pond in the middle of the flat grassland, about 5x5 yards in size. Bubbling spring water kept gushing upwards. Heat waves rose from the pond from time to time. This spring water came from the depths of the earth, and the heat contained a strong smell of sulfur. The spring water constantly seeped into the surrounding dry soil.

"Is this the place?" Nie Yan asked, looking around.

"Yes," Yinhui Zhiye nodded.

"Are there any other places where the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons drink water?"

"There shouldn't be any. The Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons' every move has been under our surveillance these past few days. Apart from here, we haven't seen any Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons going to other places to drink water," Yinhui Zhiye said with great certainty. They had been observing the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons for many days before Nie Yan came, so they were very clear about the situation.

Looking at the small pond, a very interesting idea flashed through Nie Yan's mind. He dismissed the idea of ​​sneaking into the dragon's lair before. He suddenly had a better idea.

Nie Yan immediately dialed Niao Bu Sheng Dan's voice communication.

"Boss, is there anything you need?" Niao Bu Sheng Dan asked.

"Go and ask Lao Liu for me, how strong is the effect of the High-Strength Hallucinogenic Potion, does it have any effect on Level 200 mutated Lords?" Nie Yan asked. Since the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragons drank water here, maybe he could get them drunk, then it would be easier to deal with them.

"Level 200 mutated Lord?" Niao Bu Sheng Dan was startled and said, "Currently, no matter what kind of potion, it probably won't have any effect on Level 200 mutated Lords."

Hearing Niao Bu Sheng Dan's words, Nie Yan was slightly disappointed. It seemed that this method wouldn't work.

Niao Bu Sheng Dan pondered for a moment, then said, "But it's not entirely impossible. Our guild has so many Grandmaster-level Pharmacists, especially Di Diao De Nan Nan. This guy's pharmacy skills can't be judged by common sense. They might have a way."

"I need a potion that can cause hallucination, coma, or petrification effects after a Level 200 mutated Lord drinks it," Nie Yan said. No matter which effect, having one would be enough.

"Boss, wait a moment. I'll discuss it with them whether this kind of potion is feasible. I'll give you an answer immediately in five minutes," Niao Bu Sheng Dan said.

"Okay," Nie Yan said. The Starry Night Potion Shop had so many high-level Pharmacists, and there were no lack of amazingly talented people. Maybe they could create a potion that had similar effects to the High-Strength Hallucinogenic Potion, but was stronger.

The two cut off the voice communication. Nie Yan waited patiently, hoping that Niao Bu Sheng Dan and the others could come up with a solution. If it really didn't work, this method would have to be abandoned.

At the headquarters of the Starry Night Potion Shop, at the top of the sixteen-story building, a meeting was underway. All the Grandmaster-level Pharmacists put down their work and gathered together.

"Lao Liu, does your High-Strength Hallucinogenic Potion have any effect on Level 200 mutated Lords?" Niao Bu Sheng Dan looked at an old man wearing a Pharmacist robe and somewhat thin next to him. He was the Pharmacist who provided Nie Yan with the High-Strength Hallucinogenic Potion.

The Pharmacist named Lao Liu was silent for a long time, then smiled wryly and shook his head, "How is that possible? That's a Level 200 mutated Lord!"

"Does anyone have a good method? As long as it's effective on Level 200 mutated Lords, it doesn't matter whether it's hallucination, coma, or petrification," Niao Bu Sheng Dan looked at the crowd.

Many Grandmaster-level Pharmacists frowned. They had not yet created a potion that could take effect on Level 200 mutated Lords. Level 200 was already close to the Legendary level. They had not even touched this level.

Lao Liu thought for a moment and said, "The secret to making High-Strength Hallucinogenic Potion is concentration. The first hallucinogenic potion I made had a very weak effect, and the duration was also very short. But because the production cost was very low, I concentrated and processed one hundred bottles of High-Strength Hallucinogenic Potion, and the resulting High-Strength Hallucinogenic Potion was very strong. If a Level 200 mutated Lord could drink a concentrated hallucinogenic potion equivalent to five thousand bottles, it might be able to cause hallucinations for ten or twenty seconds."

"The hallucinogenic potion is too weak. We also have to consider how resistant the Level 200 mutated Lord is to hallucinogenic toxins. If that Level 200 mutated Lord has a very high resistance to hallucinogenic toxins, even if we pour five thousand bottles of hallucinogenic potion into it, it may not work," Di Diao De Nan Nan interjected from the side.

"The hallucinogenic potion is very weak. The strongest toxin effect is still the coma-inducing potion. If we use the concentration method, can we make a similar potion?" Niao Bu Sheng Dan looked at Di Diao De Nan Nan. This was his idea, so he sought Di Diao De Nan Nan's opinion.

"In theory, it should be possible, but we still have to consider what kind of monster it is and how strong its resistance is to coma-inducing toxins," Di Diao De Nan Nan considered for a moment and said, "It's best to add my toxin ratio theory, use a variety of coma-inducing toxins for the ratio, and strengthen the toxins. If it succeeds, maybe we can make another Legendary potion."

Di Diao De Nan Nan thought for a moment and continued to add, "It's best to let the boss get some blood from that Lord, even if it's just a little bit. We can analyze the monster's resistance and weaknesses, and then prepare the poison."

"I'll go tell the boss," Niao Bu Sheng Dan said.

Soon, Nie Yan received a reply from Niao Bu Sheng Dan. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was better than having no solution. As for the blood of the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon, it was relatively easy to obtain. He could get it in no time.

"How long will it take to make such a potion?" Nie Yan asked.

"If one person does it, it will take at least two months. If all the Grandmaster-level Pharmacists get on board, it can be researched in a week at most. We have to get the blood first before we can determine whether it will work," Niao Bu Sheng Dan said.

This was much faster than Nie Yan had imagined!

"I'll go get the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon's blood. Have someone send it to you in half an hour," Nie Yan said. He had just received a message that a Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon was flying to the southern part of the Valley of Fate!
