Chapter 28 How Can This Be Impossible

"How can this be impossible?" Nie Yan smiled, applied for a trade with Tang Yao, and put the Blazewalker set and a City Return Scroll on it.

"You're giving me all of this?" Tang Yao was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected the Blazewalker set to have such high stats.

"I looted it from that guy called Dian Cang, plus a staff, but you can't use it. Take this Blazewalker set and use it. As for the City Return Scroll, keep it for now," Nie Yan said. Tang Yao and he had been brothers since childhood. Compared to this friendship, these few Blazewalker pieces were nothing.

"Then I won't be pretentious," Tang Yao said, a trace of emotion flashing in his eyes.

After changing into the fiery red Blazewalker set, Tang Yao's appearance immediately improved a lot. If he went out, he would definitely attract a lot of beauties.

"How much spell damage do you have?" Nie Yan asked.

"Fifty," Tang Yao said, spell damage he wouldn't have dared to imagine before.

"Not bad, this spell damage is enough to participate in some difficult dungeon missions. The staff is a bit lacking, go back and buy a better one," Nie Yan said. Tang Yao had obtained the Blazewalker set out of nowhere, which was equivalent to rising to the heavens in one step and saving himself a lot of detours.

Tang Yao looked at the set of equipment on his body again and again, looking like he couldn't put it down.

"Let's level up here for a while first. There's a Silver Treasure Chest ahead, let's go get it out. I'll party you," Nie Yan said. With Tang Yao's high spell damage, the two of them would have more than enough to grind monsters here.

There was still a Silver Treasure Chest over there. If he didn't take out the contents, Nie Yan wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly.

"Silver Chest? Where?" Tang Yao became excited. Up to now, he had only opened one chest, and it was just an ordinary treasure chest. He had never even seen what a Silver Chest looked like.

"Let's clear out those Rock Spiders at the intersection first," Nie Yan said. With Tang Yao's support, dealing with two Rock Spiders was easy, and dealing with three probably wouldn't be a problem either.

Nie Yan loaded the crossbow with arrows, calibrated it, and shot out a series of arrows.

After attracting two Rock Spiders, Nie Yan stood in front, while Tang Yao waved his staff and released Arcane Fireballs and Arcane Flames, each time dealing more than thirty points of damage, and occasionally bursting out with one or two critical hits of more than fifty points.

"Grinding monsters two levels higher and still dealing this kind of damage?" Tang Yao was stunned for a moment, shocked by his own spell damage.

Nie Yan's health dropped by about 50%, and the two Rock Spiders fell to the ground under the coordinated attacks of Nie Yan and Tang Yao.

Nie Yan sat down to restore his health, and Tang Yao also began to drink spring water to replenish his mana.

"How much experience do you have now?" Nie Yan saw his health return to full and stood up.

"Level 3, 56%, what about you?" Tang Yao said. He had been leveling for more than a week to get this much.

"Level 3, 9%," Nie Yan said. Faith leveling was very difficult. The amount of experience required for each level was very high. His leveling speed was already frighteningly fast. He leveled up three levels in less than three days. If he said it out loud, it would definitely scare people.

While talking, Nie Yan used his crossbow to attract two more Rock Spiders, and the two quickly cleared them out.

Nie Yan bent down and picked up what the Rock Spider dropped, which was a Warrior's Charge Skill Book. Currently, the price of a Charge Skill Book on the market was about twenty copper coins.

The drop rate on a Level 5 map was indeed much higher than on a low-level map.

"What did it drop?"

"Warrior's Charge."

Tang Yao waved his hand and said, "You can keep the dropped items. I'm already very satisfied with this set of equipment. I don't need to look for any equipment before Level 5."

A skill book wasn't worth much money, so Nie Yan didn't bother with formalities and threw the Charge Skill Book into his backpack.

Although leveling together split the experience, because Tang Yao's spell damage was very high, the monster grinding speed increased, and the leveling speed was actually faster.

After the Rock Spiders were cleared out, Nie Yan walked towards the place where he had discovered the Silver Treasure Chest.

This Silver Treasure Chest was covered with strange patterns and was extremely exquisitely designed. It had a lock on it, firmly sealing the box.

"Damn it, I didn't learn the lockpicking skill," Nie Yan said. The lockpicking skill could only be learned at Level 5, and it was a very expensive skill. This was a Level 5 map, so it wasn't surprising to find a locked chest.

"What should we do then?" Tang Yao asked. This was the first Silver Treasure Chest he had ever seen. Would it end like this?

"We can only forget about it. Let's quickly level up to Level 5. Maybe the chest will still be here," Nie Yan said helplessly.

Just as Nie Yan and Tang Yao were about to leave and continue leveling, the 'stone' next to them suddenly moved.

"What's that?" Tang Yao asked in surprise.

This 'stone' was twice as big as an ordinary Rock Spider, and it was covered with hard stone. When it wasn't moving, it was completely indistinguishable from a stone.

This 'stone' stretched out eight legs, stood up, opened its dark green eyes, and made a squeaking hiss. It was actually a Rock Spider!

"It's a Rock Spider Leader!" Nie Yan's heart tightened, and he entered stealth, sneaking towards the back of the Rock Spider Leader.

Rock Spider Leader: 180/180.

The Rock Spider's compound eyes turned and stared at Tang Yao.

Tang Yao quickly retreated. Countless images of him were reflected in the Rock Spider's compound eyes, which, coupled with the Rock Spider's ferocious face, made it look especially terrifying.

"What do we do? This is a Level 5 Leader!" Tang Yao said nervously. The strongest monster he had ever seen was only a Level 3 Leader. This was his first time coming to a Level 5 map, and he didn't expect to encounter a Leader.

"Kill it, bombard it with magic!" Nie Yan said. Running away was even more dangerous. They would definitely be chased to death by the Rock Spider Leader, and might even attract other Rock Spiders. As for the City Return Scroll, it took twenty seconds to read one, and it would be invalid if interrupted. It was better to attack decisively.

Could the two of them kill a Level 5 Leader? Tang Yao was skeptical about this.

"Keep your distance, at least twenty yards. Go into the narrowest cave. Don't run too far, lest you attract other Rock Spiders!" Nie Yan instructed. Tang Yao was still a newbie, so it was a bit difficult to ask him to do such a dangerous thing.

Nie Yan was absolutely safe. He could run away at any time, but he couldn't guarantee Tang Yao's life or death.

He could only leave it to fate.

The Rock Spider Leader screeched wildly and pounced on Tang Yao.

"Oh my god," Tang Yao quickly ran backwards. While running, he still followed Nie Yan's instructions and cast an Arcane Fireball.

Bang, the fireball exploded on the Rock Spider Leader, and a damage value of 18 points floated up from the Rock Spider Leader's head.

Fire magic had bonus damage against the Rock Spider Leader!

The damage was good, there was hope. Nie Yan's eyes lit up, and he gave the Rock Spider Leader a Backstab.

The Rock Spider Leader trembled and stopped in place.

Stunned for 3 seconds!

The Backstab's stun could last for 6 seconds, but because the Rock Spider was a Leader monster, it had some resistance to stun effects. Nie Yan's Backstab could only cause half the effect, but that was already enough.

"Attack, don't stand there!" Nie Yan shouted.

Hearing Nie Yan's words, Tang Yao quickly cast an Arcane Flame, and the flames exploded on the Rock Spider Leader.

The Rock Spider woke up, and at this moment, Nie Yan used Assassinate, stabbing into the Rock Spider Leader's abdomen, and then slashed it open with a Cut.

The Rock Spider Leader's abdomen was torn open, and a green, viscous liquid poured out.

After waking up, the Rock Spider Leader continued to pounce on Tang Yao.

Tang Yao quickly retreated into a narrow passage. With a bang, the Rock Spider Leader's huge body crashed into the rock walls on both sides, and the rock walls shook violently. A few pieces of gravel fell from the top.

The Rock Spider Leader couldn't squeeze in and was stuck at the entrance of the passage, squealing.

"Let's see how Grandpa cleans you up this time." Seeing that the Rock Spider Leader couldn't get in, Tang Yao became much bolder and waved his staff, casting Arcane Missiles and Arcane Fireballs one after another. "Damn it, the damage of Arcane Missiles is less than half of Arcane Fireball."

The skill cooldown time of Arcane Missiles was very short. It was a regular magic spell with a very short chanting time, only one second, while Arcane Fireball required a cooldown time of about 10 seconds and a chanting time of 3 seconds. It was impossible to cast it continuously.

The Rock Spider Leader kept ramming, and the stone walls on both sides kept shaking, with cracks appearing and collapsing little by little.
