“How is it? Was Lower Soth Valley smooth?” Nie Yan sent a message to Half-Asleep Fox.

“Don't even mention it. We were wiped out on our first attempt. The werewolves' Terror Poison is too strong. Without Black Phenol Potions, you can't last long at all. But the equipment drops in Soth Valley are pretty good. Even ordinary monsters have a chance to drop golden equipment, and the Boss drops dark gold. What's wrong, aren't you interested?” Half-Asleep Fox spared no effort in trying to pull Nie Yan into the group.

“Not interested, but I happen to have a batch of Black Phenol Potions on hand. I wonder if you're interested?”

“Black Phenol Potions? How many?” Half-Asleep Fox couldn't help but be moved. Did Nie Yan not know that people outside were going crazy looking for Black Phenol Potions?

“Thirty Black Phenol Potions, sixty portions of materials, and a Black Phenol Potion recipe. Name your price.” Nie Yan said.

“Hiss, that many?” Half-Asleep Fox gasped. He thought Nie Yan would have ten or so bottles at most. This much Black Phenol was enough to keep a team from worrying about Black Phenol Potions for a short period of time.

“What's wrong? Can't swallow it?”

“No, I can swallow it.” Half-Asleep Fox quickly said. If Nie Yan sold so many Black Phenol Potions, materials, and the recipe to someone else, he wouldn't even have tears left to cry. “Brother, Half-Asleep Fox remembers this favor. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just tell me.”

That Nie Yan could get his hands on so many Black Phenol Potions, materials, and the recipe at this time, his influence was unimaginable.

“Then I won't waste words. Name your price.” Nie Yan said.

“Thirty silver coins.” Half-Asleep Fox said somewhat awkwardly. This price was a bit higher than the current market price, but who knew how high Black Phenol Potions could rise? However, thirty silver coins was already a price that Half-Asleep Fox was about to be unable to afford. The Divine Protectors was a large organization with a large business, but its liquid funds weren't much. The daily expenses were also not small, so they couldn't withdraw too much money.

“I need some things. I'm too lazy to look for them myself. Have your people help me find them. I'll give you a list: two active skill books, Backstab and Eviscerate; five passive Thief skills, Savage Strength, Wild Power, Strength Amplification, Restless Power, and Necromancer Power. If you find these, you don't have to add any money.” Nie Yan said. The prices of these skill books were roughly equivalent to the price of the Black Phenol Potions. As for the odd change, he wasn't willing to delve into it.

“The first two are easier to find. What do you want so many strength books for?” Half-Asleep Fox asked, puzzled.

“That's none of your business.”

“It's a bit difficult, but it shouldn't be a problem, since they're all common skill books.” Half-Asleep Fox said. Although these passive skill books were all good, they could increase permanent strength attributes, but they were skills that couldn't be upgraded, yet they occupied a skill slot, so they were quite expensive, and not worth it.

“Alright, it's settled then. I'll mail the stuff to you.”

“I'll mail you thirty silver coins first. You can pay me back when you find the skill books.” Half-Asleep Fox thought for a moment and said.

“That works too.” Nie Yan nodded, put the items into the mailbox next to the teleportation array, and wrote Half-Asleep Fox's name as the recipient.

System: Flying Blade has deposited thirty silver coins into your personal storage.

“The money's been sent.” Half-Asleep Fox said.

“Okay, I've received it. I have something to do. I'll contact you later.”

Nie Yan put on his black robe. The wide black robe completely covered his body, hiding his face in darkness. He took a step forward and entered the teleportation array.

System: Are you sure you want to go to Teso Yi Town in the Plague Canyon? It costs 2 silver coins.

Yes!

Since Teso Yi Town was relatively far away, the teleportation fee alone cost two silver coins.

Light and shadow fluctuated. When Nie Yan opened his eyes again, he was no longer greeted by the towering buildings of Calore, but a dense jungle. Each of the large trees towered into the clouds, and their trunks were chiseled open and built into houses with wood. They looked somewhat dilapidated from the erosion of wind and rain.

An old man wearing a gray, tattered mage robe and holding an ancient staff passed by Nie Yan. He looked gaunt and frail. From the somewhat blurred patterns on the mage robe, it was vaguely discernible that the old man was an NPC arcane mage.

The old man cast an unfriendly glance at Nie Yan, emanating a strange arcane aura. Nie Yan quickly lowered his head and hurried forward.

Teso Yi Town was a strange town. Teso Yi in the ancient common tongue meant unfriendly and sinful. It was said that God had sent down a plague here to condemn these humans, causing the people here to live in pain forever. The NPCs here didn't welcome strangers and were extremely difficult to approach. If you took the initiative to greet them, even an ordinary word of greeting could result in their expulsion or even attack.

Don't look down on that NPC old man just now. He looked like a gust of wind could blow him over, but in reality, he was an elite NPC above level 30. None of the NPCs here were below level 30.

So for Nie Yan, this was an extremely dangerous place.

Nie Yan understood how to protect himself in this dangerous place.

One after another, NPCs with different appearances passed by Nie Yan. Nie Yan concealed himself behind his wide black robe and hurried past with his head lowered. When he left the village entrance, he looked up at a delicate wooden house on a large tree not far away.

That was a place that many players liked to frequent in his previous life. You could buy many good things there, but with Nie Yan's current financial resources, he wasn't qualified yet.

Nie Yan left the village without a word and headed deep into the jungle along the narrow path outside the village.

System: You have discovered the Plague Jungle.

The trees in the Plague Jungle were gray and gloomy, without a trace of green or vitality, densely packed, giving people a dull sense of oppression.

Dangerous creatures often appeared here, and their levels were at least level 30 or higher. For Nie Yan, they were invincible existences.

Entering the monster refresh area, Nie Yan carefully sneaked. The trees here blocked out the sky, and only one or two beams of light projected down from the gaps between the leaves, leaving mottled shadows on the ground.

The light was dim, and the air was suffocatingly silent.

Nie Yan's spirit was highly concentrated. He heard some slight noises and glanced towards the distant dense forest.

A huge spider web was densely spread between several large trees. A giant spider with a scarlet body was lying on it, quietly waiting for its prey.

That was a level 30 Elite Bloodsoaked Spider!

The slightest sound would alarm these sensitive predators. Nie Yan quietly left and hid in the forest.

Bypassing creatures that were extremely dangerous to him, he went deep into the jungle. A rugged and strange stone forest appeared before Nie Yan's eyes. All kinds of giant stones were piled there randomly, already mottled under the erosion of wind and rain.

“This is it.” The closer he got to his destination, the more careful Nie Yan became. He passed through the lush grass, groped his way closer to the pile of rocks, and hid behind it.
