Chapter 57 The Wonderful Use of Featherfall Gems
"That Nie Yan's technique is pretty good...amazing!" Seeing Nie Yan use the crossbow to lure the monster, Half-Awake Fox finally exclaimed. Those three arrows could not be completed without superb skill.
The current players have just entered the game. Their skills are far inferior to Nie Yan. These three arrows are just techniques passed down among many experts in his previous life. But when he used them, they seemed like divine skills to Half-Awake Fox, Huang昏, and the others.
In the past, thieves were not taken seriously when running dungeons, because many teams could clear dungeons without them. Therefore, Half-Awake Fox wasn't particularly concerned about inviting Nie Yan. Now, it suddenly dawned on him how important a good thief was to a dungeon team.
Half-Awake Fox had always felt that the team was lacking something, and now he finally realized that what they were missing was an expert-level thief like Nie Yan!
"Stone was right, he is indeed an expert," Huang昏 said. Stone's judgment had never been good, but this time, it was as if a blind cat had stumbled upon a dead mouse, bringing them such a great expert.
"We should be able to clear the Ogrema Muddy Swamp." After watching the video, Half-Awake Fox understood a popular saying: a successful thief can increase a team's survival rate by more than 30%. This saying applies not only to three-person teams and five-person teams, but also to twenty-person teams and thirty-person teams.
Nie Yan's commanding and organizational skills were truly commendable. Without Nie Yan, it would have been impossible for the Yu Lan team to clear the Treant Forest with their terrible equipment.
Nie Yan knew that the results of this run of the Treant Forest with Huang昏 would definitely reach Half-Awake Fox, at least to dispel some of the doubts in Half-Awake Fox's mind.
After obtaining the Feather Fall Gem, Nie Yan thought of the famous elite monster, Lion King Kardo. If he wanted to take down that big guy, he still needed to make many preparations.
Nie Yan went to the auction house and saw that because the Black Phenol Potion was selling well, the pharmacists had turned all the remaining raw materials into Black Phenol Potions and put them up for auction. There were more than a hundred bottles and dozens of Black Phenol Potion recipes. These goods would be worth a lot in a few days, so Nie Yan didn't hesitate to buy them all, and also bought all the materials for making Black Phenol Potion in the auction house.
After gathering all the Black Phenol Potion recipes, Black Phenol Potions, and their materials on the market, Nie Yan bought nine tubes of crossbow bolts in the auction house at almost exorbitant prices: two tubes of Black Gold Bolts, three tubes of Nightmare Bolts, and four tubes of Poisoned Bolts.
Black Gold Bolts: Deals 12 points of armor-piercing damage, 1000 bolts per tube. Purchase price: 2 silver coins.
Nightmare Bolts: Deals 10 points of confusion damage, 1000 bolts per tube. Purchase price: 1 silver coin 50 copper coins.
Poisoned Bolts: Deals 9 points of poison damage, 1000 bolts per tube. Purchase price: 1 silver coin 10 copper coins.
These arrows cost Nie Yan a lot of money. Only thieves or warriors in large teams who were responsible for luring monsters could afford such expensive things. In fact, for those wealthy large teams, using these arrows to lure monsters was too wasteful. Therefore, the trading of these arrows in the auction house was not active, but because they were relatively rare, the prices remained high. Only players like Nie Yan, who had too much money to spend, would buy them.
After buying the arrows, Nie Yan teleported to Modo Town and ran towards the Crimson Dream Hills.
After leaving the town and walking more than ten kilometers north, he arrived at a continuous mountain range. He ran along the mountain road to the top of the mountain and reached a cliff. Looking into the distance, there was a plain ahead. Everything on the plain became extremely small. The cliff was very high, and when he looked down, he could vaguely see the scenery below, a desolate scene.
The wind howled on the cliff, and the distant mountains and forests undulated like waves.
This was a high cliff of more than two hundred yards. If ordinary players jumped down, they would definitely be smashed to pieces.
Nie Yan walked on the top of the cliff, looking down at the cliff while walking along the edge of the cliff. He found a Night Cypress tree on the edge of the cliff.
Nie Yan stood under the Night Cypress tree, facing east along the edge of the cliff, one step, two steps, three steps, it should be about this position.
"It's here, I shouldn't have remembered wrongly." Nie Yan jumped and leaped towards the cliff.
He came here not to commit suicide. There was an elite creature active at the bottom of this cliff, the Level 7 Lion King Kardo. It was the king of this plain, and players who leveled up in this plain had been killed by Lion King Kardo a lot.
If Lion King Kardo died, it would respawn once a day. There was a high probability that it would drop the Thief's Blackblood Set. There were three pieces in total, the cape, gloves, and shoulder pads. It was the top silver-grade set for Level 5 Thieves, only slightly worse than the Covenant Set from the Soth Mountain Valley dungeon. If he could get a set of Blackblood, then Nie Yan's equipment would be considered top-notch. In addition to the Blackblood Set, Lion King Kardo also dropped some Thief skill books.
In his previous life, there were many people who fought over Lion King Kardo. There were many chaotic battles over the equipment dropped by Lion King Kardo. Often a large number of people would die. It was not easy to get the Blackblood Set, and it was even more difficult to collect a complete set. Every time Lion King Kardo respawned, hundreds of ordinary lions would spawn around it. At least the lions on the periphery had to be cleared before they could safely farm the Lion King. The large number of Level 7 lions was also very difficult to deal with.
The players' levels were not high enough now. At least twenty players above Level 5 would dare to farm the Lion King. Now, players above Level 5 were very rare. They were all expert-level players. It was not easy to gather so many people.
No one dared to farm Lion King Kardo yet. This area was a Level 7 monster area, and few people came here. Even if they came, no one could reach Lion King Kardo here. Only Nie Yan could safely implement his plan.
The sound of the wind whistled past his ears, and the altitude decreased rapidly. Nie Yan activated the skill on the Feather Fall Gem, and the speed of descent immediately slowed down. His feet felt light and floaty, and the speed was slow and steady.
Under the effect of Feather Fall, Nie Yan's descent speed was only slightly faster than the speed of a feather falling.
He was getting closer and closer to the ground. Estimating the distance, about twenty yards above the ground, Nie Yan shot out a strand of spider silk. The spider silk stuck to the cliff, suspending Nie Yan in the air. Looking down, he saw a strong male lion not far away, covered with brown fur, majestic like a king.
That male lion happened to be within his shooting range.
That male lion was Lion King Kardo. In his memory, Lion King Kardo was exactly in this position.
"Got it." Nie Yan's left hand held the spider silk firmly attached to some shrubs growing on the rock wall. His right hand took out the crossbow from his backpack, aimed at the Lion King with the sights, and with three swooshing sounds, the crossbow bolts shot towards Lion King Kardo in a straight line.
