Chapter 579 The Situation

Nie Yan contacted his father to ask about the situation at Tiantian Financial Group. Tiantian Financial Group’s business was developing very smoothly, and its strength was rapidly expanding. They invested the money they earned in the capital market, holding shares in more than a dozen companies and becoming a veritable consortium. In addition, their shares in companies under the Century Financial Group were also rapidly increasing.

Tiantian Financial Group maintained good momentum. If it continued to develop like this, it would only be a matter of time before it was on par with the Longyao Financial Group and the Zhengrong Financial Group. It might even become a strong challenger to the Century Financial Group.

"Does the Century Financial Group have any new moves or investment plans?" Nie Yan asked.

"Not really. The Century Financial Group's financial situation isn't as flush as it used to be. They're gathering funds. They should have noticed that we're acquiring shares in their companies. I estimate they'll make a move soon," Nie’s father said. When he spoke of the Century Financial Group, this behemoth of capital, he showed no fear, but rather, a eager anticipation.

The Century Financial Group had already noticed Tiantian Financial Group's intentions, so Tiantian Financial Group might encounter some trouble. The Century Financial Group had stayed in the position of Asia's number one financial group for so long, and not without reason. The strength behind it shouldn't be underestimated. The reason why their funds were tight was probably because several recent large investments, especially the investment in Faith, hadn't yielded the expected results. But a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. The Century Financial Group was far from being crippled. After they realized the threat from Tiantian Financial Group, they would definitely take measures.

Nie’s father was riding high, so Nie Yan didn't want to throw cold water on him. Now, Tiantian Financial Group had close cooperative relationships with the Longyao Financial Group, the Zhengrong Financial Group, and others. It was no longer what it used to be. With the assistance of the Tianwang Organization, it might not be afraid of the Century Financial Group.

Tiantian Financial Group was growing vigorously. To what extent would it reach in the future? Nie Yan couldn't help but look forward to it.

Nie Yan met with Ci Dao, who had returned from his mission, and asked about the details. After confirming that nothing had been missed, he was relieved. He had just received news that after Liu Tianshi's death, Liu Guocheng was furious and retaliated against the Monet Financial Group in the political and business fields. The Monet Financial Group immediately reacted, and the two sides were engaged in a contest of strength.

After receiving the news, Nie Yan couldn't help but click his tongue. It had only been a day, and they were already fighting! These guys were fast!

In this kind of duel, it was naturally best to strike first, as the one who acted later was easily put in a passive position.

Their affairs were no longer related to Nie Yan. His current enemies were the Century Financial Group and Angel Corps. He didn't know what Angel Corps' background was. He had always been very mysterious. Nie Yan gave Ci Dao a mission to investigate him.

In the evening, Nie Yan and Xie Yao re-entered the game. The team members were sitting on the ground in small groups. After they recovered, they all stood up.

"Boss Nie Yan, are we going to deal with the Lava Giants?"

"Ten minutes of preparation time. Start killing the Lava Giants as soon as you're ready," Nie Yan said in the team chat.

"Understood!" The players responded in unison.

Ten minutes later, the players were ready. After they organized their formation, Nie Yan and Sun ran towards the Lava Giants. The Lava Giants roamed through the jungle, and the trees turned to flames wherever they went.

Nie Yan arrived about a hundred yards away from a Lava Giant, raised the Headless Horseman Doro's Repeating Crossbow, and pulled the trigger. Five arrows shot out, striking the Lava Giant.

After being attacked, the Lava Giant let out a deep, angry roar, turned its head, and locked its gaze on Nie Yan. A powerful aura pressed down on Nie Yan, making him unable to move.

At this moment, Sun, who was about three hundred yards away, used a skill. He and Nie Yan suddenly switched positions, and Nie Yan was three hundred yards away.

The Lava Giant looked at Sun in confusion, then looked at Nie Yan in the distance. It stepped forward and chased after Nie Yan.

Nie Yan flew away, and the Lava Giant closely followed behind.

Nie Yan led the Lava Giant to the place where they had been grinding monsters before. Brilliant Sacred Flame and Soaring Angel immediately greeted it and began to attract the Lava Giant's aggro.

Nie Yan then retreated to the side, and the mages in the rear began to cast magic attacks.

As before, the Lava Giant's health was gradually depleted. After about half an hour, a fiery red light suddenly shot out from the Lava Giant's eyes.

Lava Roar!

Just before the Lava Giant used Lava Roar, the mages used Flash and other skills to hide five hundred yards away. Brilliant Sacred Flame, Soaring Angel, and the other warriors used Mental Resistance and other skills to withstand the Lava Roar.

Then, the Lava Giant released a wave of Lava Waves, and surging lava swept through the surrounding five hundred yards.

Brilliant Sacred Flame and the others used War God's Protection and other skills to protect themselves.

As soon as the Lava Giant's wave of skills passed, the mages immediately flashed back and continued to whittle down the Lava Giant's health.

Time passed quickly. When its health dropped below 30%, the Lava Giant went berserk. Its eyes turned blood red, and it frantically attacked with its fists, sending Brilliant Sacred Flame and Soaring Angel flying.

At this moment, Nie Yan and the other thieves rushed up and used their skills to attract the Lava Giant's attention.

The Lava Giant frantically pounced, killing one thief after another.

Nie Yan constantly used combo skills to pull the Lava Giant's aggro, running around the open space.

These people bought enough time for Brilliant Sacred Flame and Soaring Angel to recover.

Players were constantly dying, but they still desperately held on to the Lava Giant, paying a heavy price.

After about ten minutes, under the continuous output of the mages, the Lava Giant's health dropped below 10%. It began to kill the mages. Xie Yao and the others used Flash and other skills to play a hit-and-run game with it.

Although the scene was very chaotic, with a large pile of corpses on the ground, the mages still firmly controlled the rhythm of the battle.

Xie Yao and the others' magic damage was two or three times that of ordinary mages, so they easily attracted the Lava Giant's attention. The Lava Giant chased after Xie Yao and the others, but their Flash was not for show, and their movement speed was not much slower than that of top thieves.

Although a few of them were killed by the Lava Giant, it didn't affect the overall situation.

At this time, in the northeast corner of the battlefield, a figure flew over quickly. Seeing that figure, Nie Yan was stunned and suddenly showed a hint of joy. It was Tang Yao!

The Lava Giant was chasing after Undying Scoundrel and was about to catch up with him when streams of magic streaked across the sky and bombarded the Lava Giant, causing damage numbers of five or six thousand to appear above the Lava Giant. Tang Yao's attack frequency was astounding.

The Lava Giant had just raised its fist, ready to attack Undying Scoundrel, when it hesitated for a moment. Its fist stopped in mid-air, and it looked back at Tang Yao. It abandoned Undying Scoundrel and pounced on Tang Yao.

While flashing, Tang Yao's hands continuously spewed flames.

Another five minutes passed. With the efforts of the mages, the Lava Giant finally let out an unwilling wail and fell heavily to the ground, its body turning into a pool of lava.

After paying the price of nearly five hundred people, Nie Yan and the others finally exhausted the Lava Giant to death.

"This guy was really hard to deal with." Seeing the Lava Giant fall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Lava Giant gave a very generous amount of experience. More than a hundred brothers leveled up, and most of the experience bars were more than 60% full, enough to make up for the previous losses.

Nie Yan looked around, corpses everywhere, and said, "Resurrect all the brothers on the ground. Those who can't be resurrected, hurry up and run back to resurrect."

This Lava Giant was indeed very difficult to deal with. These people already represented the highest level of Faith, but they still used so much effort. Fortunately, it was only a Lord-class monster. He wondered how terrifying a level 200 Demonified Lord would be. According to the normal calculation method, a level 200 Lord was only equivalent to a level 120 Demonified Lord.

Nie Yan looked at the Lava Giant's corpse. The Lava Giant dropped three items. He went up and picked them up.

"Boss Nie Yan, what did it drop?" Several team members asked eagerly. A level 200 Lord should drop something good.

Nie Yan looked at the three items. They were all mage items: a level 200 Sub-Legendary Elemental Mage Robe and a level 200 Legendary Elemental Staff. Even if they were inlaid with gems that reduced the requirements, it would be a long time before they could be used.

Nie Yan looked at the remaining item, a silver-white necklace, a component of the Grimma Set!

Sealed Grimma Necklace (Legendary): Requires Intelligence 1500, Strength 200, Agility 200.

Item Description: The Sealed Grimma Necklace still possesses powerful magic. Grimma Set: Grimma Staff, Grimma Necklace, Grimma Ring, Grimma Elemental Robe. You need to find other components to unlock the seal.

Item Attributes: Defense 1102-1203, Willpower +50, Focus +60, Spell Damage +120%, Spellcasting Level +3, Magic Chanting Time -30%. Attached skill, Elemental Domain. After using this skill, you can freely control the elements within a radius of five hundred yards. You can give all magic units a spell damage bonus of 200%, or you can destroy the elements, preventing all units within the domain from casting magic. The skill lasts for ten minutes and has a cooldown time of one natural day.

Note: This item needs to be recognized by Countess Alicia to be fully effective, otherwise the attributes will be reduced by 80%.

The Grimma Set was a very powerful set of equipment, not even inferior to Nie Yan's Abak Set. If he collected all the pieces, it would mean that the Ni Ren Guild would have another super mage!

Nie Yan thought of Countess Alicia. He wondered if Countess Alicia, who was trapped in the lava, had been resurrected yet.
