Chapter 30 Searching for Courage
The Chapters of Order are truly tempting. I wonder if I can collect all six chapters of the first volume in this life.
There are thirty-six Chapters of Order, and he knows the approximate locations of many of them! He knows the six locations of the first volume's Chapters of Order like the back of his hand! The one he's going to find this time is the third chapter of the Chapters of Order, the Chapter of Courage.
"What are you going in there for?"
"Send me to the end of the cave and go back to level up. You can't go where I'm going," Nie Yan said. Even he, a Thief, would have some difficulty getting there, let alone Tang Yao, an Arcane Mage.
"Is it dangerous?" Tang Yao asked.
"Yes," Nie Yan nodded.
"Since it's dangerous, why are you going?" Tang Yao asked, puzzled.
"To get something." Nie Yan smiled. Tang Yao didn't understand how tempting the Chapters of Order were.
"Alright." Tang Yao nodded. He didn't understand why Nie Yan would go knowing it was dangerous, but since Nie Yan had already made his plans, he didn't ask any more questions.
Nie Yan and Tang Yao entered the depths of the cave. The space was too narrow for Tang Yao to cast Meteor Fall, so they could only clear the way little by little using ordinary methods.
Monsters fell one after another. Gradually, under Nie Yan's guidance, Tang Yao seemed to get the hang of it. His skills were much more proficient than before.
"You're improving quickly. In a while, you'll be a pro. Tomorrow we're going to do a dungeon, so I'll tell you some basics, like controlling aggro and positioning. The dungeon we're going to do tomorrow might be a little difficult, so you need to pay attention, especially when dealing with the Treant King," Nie Yan said to Tang Yao, explaining the basic techniques for an Arcane Mage in a dungeon, as well as some key points about the Treant Forest dungeon.
Tang Yao listened intently. He used to be just an ordinary player, lacking skill and equipment, so he had resigned himself to mediocrity. But since putting on the Fire Chaser set, his equipment could be considered top-notch. The powerful sense of achievement gave him great pressure, and he consciously demanded more of himself like a pro. In fact, Tang Yao's talent was not bad, not top-tier, but firmly in the middle. With Nie Yan's guidance, he had completely transformed. Although he couldn't be considered a pro, he understood how to train his skills.
"Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
"The most important stats for a mage are Intelligence, Perception, and Focus. Intelligence is the basic stat, undoubtedly in first place. The remaining two are Perception and Focus. These two are expansion stats. Perception gives you a stronger chance of survival when facing Thieves, and Focus makes it harder to interrupt your spells. These two stats are also very important. Expansion stats can only be improved with skills, so you must keep up with the relevant skills. If you come across a suitable skill book that you want to buy and you're short on money, I'll cover it for you first," Nie Yan said.
"No need for money, I'm not short on it. I'll just browse the auction house more often in the future," Tang Yao nodded, remembering every word Nie Yan said in his heart.
Gradually, they reached the end of the cave. The sound of rushing water faintly came from the depths of the cave.
"We'll stop here, you should go back first. There are three Rock Spider Bosses ahead. You probably can't get past them," Nie Yan said. He had seen the video of how to find the Chapter of Courage online, and he still remembered the general path.
"Alright, be careful then."
Nie Yan nodded and said, "I'll call you when we go to farm the Treant King tomorrow. Practice leveling up."
"I'm leaving." Tang Yao took out a Return Scroll, and after twenty seconds, he turned into a white light and disappeared.
Tang Yao left, and Nie Yan walked into the deeper darkness.
Originally, Nie Yan wanted to wait until he was a higher level before retrieving the Chapter of Order fragment, because it was a bit difficult for him to retrieve the Chapter of Courage at his current level, but since he was here, he decided to give it a try. If he had the Chapter of Courage, leveling up would be much easier.
Nie Yan walked into the deeper darkness of the cave, hidden in the shadows.
After walking forward for three minutes, there was an open area in the distance. Three giant Rock Spider Bosses were active there. Looking further ahead, there was a pool of water in a 10x20 yard area. The water flowed along a narrow channel and then into the ground. The sound of water came from there.
The three Rock Spider Bosses blocked the way, walking around in the cave and poking their heads with their forelimbs. Nie Yan estimated the distance. He needed to pass about ten yards to reach the water's edge.
Unless he killed all three Rock Spiders, it was impossible to pass by on the ground without alarming them.
Then he would have to force his way through!
Nie Yan understood the danger of doing so, but he had done things that were several times more dangerous.
One of the most attractive characteristics of the Thief class was the excitement, doing things that others dared not do, experiencing the feeling of dancing between life and death.
Perhaps there were some dangerous elements in Nie Yan's personality.
Nie Yan liked this feeling. He wanted to prove his ability by accomplishing impossible things.
After mentally calculating, the aggro range between him and the Rock Spiders was about 2.5 yards.
As long as he didn't get within 2.5 yards, he should be safe.
Nie Yan entered Stealth and crept forward.
The three Rock Spider Bosses walked back and forth, their huge compound eyes reflecting countless images. Everything around them was captured in their eyes.
In his previous life, some players had statistically analyzed the attributes of monsters. They found that the Perception of spider-type monsters ranked seventh among beast-type monsters, and there were about six thousand types of beast-type monsters. This proved that spiders had very high Perception.
Nie Yan carefully controlled the distance between himself and the Rock Spider Bosses, held his breath, and gradually moved towards the pool of water.
3.5 yards to the left, 5 yards ahead, 6 yards to the left and front, Nie Yan's body was like a gecko, clinging tightly to the rock wall, moving little by little.
Every movement was meticulous. The loose stones on the rock wall, the gravel scattered on the ground, all possible variables had to be considered.
Better safe than sorry. His six years of experience in his previous life had made him deeply understand this truth. This was what he had learned from countless painful lessons. Outside the dungeons, Nie Yan had died more than three hundred times, not to mention inside the dungeons. A pro who had never died was not a pro at all.
As a pro, PK (player versus player) and adventure experience were essential. With PK and adventure, death was inevitable. Someone who had never died and leveled up to level one hundred by grinding monsters was still a noob in the eyes of pros.
It was because of so many death experiences that Nie Yan had become a somewhat famous Thief, only a line away from Shadow Dancer. At that time, there were only six people in the entire Atlanta continent who could be called Shadow Dancers.
It's the weekend today, the rankings will change after 12 o'clock tonight, so please reserve your votes for tomorrow...
