“If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to get here at all," Banxing de Huli said, half-awake.

Along the way, the way the team members looked at Nie Yan was filled with a complex, admiring expression, and they almost completely believed in Nie Yan's orders. Nie Yan's orders were carried out extremely well.

The fact that Nie Yan brought them here was enough to show his strength.

Someone like Nie Yan was destined to become a legend.

"Brother Nie Yan, you really don't want to join our guild? Our Holy Roman Empire is considered to be one of the top guilds. If Brother Nie Yan is willing to come, our treatment will definitely not be worse than other guilds. If it's really not possible, you can first take a position as an honorary elder in our guild. You don't have to do anything, just keep in touch with everyone." Banxing de Huli asked tentatively. Nie Yan wasn't wearing any guild badge, so he shouldn't be from any guild. He still wasn't willing to give up.

"I still don't need to," Nie Yan refused with a smile. Banxing de Huli was trying to get him on his boat first, and then slowly change Nie Yan's views to make him completely a member of the Holy Roman Empire. If he became an honorary elder of the Holy Roman Empire, he could indeed get a lot of convenience, but there was no free lunch in the world. Nie Yan didn't want to waste his time on guild affairs.

"Oh, then forget it," Banxing de Huli said, feeling quite disappointed.

"But we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future," Nie Yan said. In this virtual world, countless economic myths had been born. It was a veritable second world, a sunrise industry in the eyes of countless politicians. When Cao Xu's power reached its peak, he acquired five large guilds, and his various industries spread throughout Carol City, Nissod City, and Light Glory City. The industries under his command encompassed dozens of projects, and his virtual assets were worth hundreds of billions. He had to be stronger than Cao Xu. Either he had to completely defeat Cao Xu, or he had to become so strong that Cao Xu wouldn't dare to act rashly. Only then could he feel at ease and not let the tragedy of his previous life repeat itself. He couldn't accomplish anything by himself. He had to slowly develop his network of relationships. Banxing de Huli was an object worth developing.

"You're welcome anytime," Banxing de Huli thought Nie Yan was talking about going to dungeons together in the future. He never regarded Nie Yan as a force to be reckoned with.

Nie Yan didn't reveal his true intentions, concentrating on luring out and killing the female scorpions one by one.

"Qiye, expand the search area and search in the southeast direction! Be careful of traps, especially swampy mud pits," Nie Yan said. Qiye Luomo was currently the third-ranked Thief in the team, a young man in his twenties with a fairly handsome appearance. Qiye Luomo wasn't valued by Banxing de Huli at this time, but he had good potential. In the days to come, he slowly grew into the number one Thief of the Holy Roman Empire, a pivotal figure in the Holy Roman Empire's elite team. Although Qiye Luomo was relatively silent, he had a gentle personality, and Nie Yan had a good impression of him. Therefore, when giving orders, he unconsciously favored Qiye Luomo a little.

"Understood." Finally, it was his turn to perform. Hearing Nie Yan's order, Qiye Luomo searched in the southeast direction. He didn't have the slightest doubt about Nie Yan's orders.

Also being a Thief, Qiye Luomo admired Nie Yan to the point of worship. Nie Yan ignored the other two Thieves in the team, but was quite polite to him, which made him very excited. The thought arose in his mind that after this mission was over, he must ask Nie Yan for advice on how to play Thief well.

Nie Yan had no idea that the slight difference in his attitude had caused such a big wave in Qiye Luomo's heart.

"Why search in the southeast direction?" Banxing de Huli asked in surprise. Logically speaking, the Scorpion King was right in front of them. Why bother looking for trouble and expanding the search area?

"You'll find out later," Nie Yan said with a smile.

A few minutes later, news came from Qiye Luomo: "I found an ancient lighthouse here, but there are a few Scorpion Guards!"

"Go up and light it, use Stealth to go around to the back and avoid those scorpions!" Nie Yan said, thinking that Qiye Luomo was quite fast. With Qiye Luomo's skills, avoiding those scorpions under his guidance shouldn't be a problem.

After a while, a little light lit up at the top of a dilapidated lighthouse in the distance.

The light became brighter and brighter, becoming radiant, penetrating the layers of black fog and reaching here.

Under the illumination of the light, the black fog shrouded over the Ogmarrt Muddy Swamp was dispelled a lot.

The mood of the crowd, which had been suppressed by the black fog, suddenly relaxed a lot.

Banxing de Huli understood. This lighthouse was likely crucial to solving the Scorpion King!

"Good job," Banxing de Huli said to Qiye Luomo.

Banxing de Huli rarely praised his subordinates, and Qiye Luomo was extremely excited. This was also thanks to Nie Yan for giving him this opportunity to perform.

"Alright, the lighthouse is activated. Let's continue. There are three elite-level Scorpions near the Scorpion King. We have to lure them out one by one and then clean them up," Nie Yan said. This was also where the Expert-level dungeon was more difficult, and it had high requirements for players. However, he had his own set of solutions.

Hearing Nie Yan say this, Banxing de Huli's heart skipped a beat. He knew that in Difficult and Expert-level dungeons, the final Scorpion King was only elite-level. However, in the Expert-level dungeon, there were actually three elite-level Scorpions beside the Scorpion King!

The difficulty of the Expert-level dungeon was evident. Banxing de Huli felt a little uneasy. Even if they could kill the three elite-level Scorpions, could they defeat the final Scorpion King?

However, now that the Expert-level Ogmarrt Muddy Swamp had progressed to this point, even if they were wiped out here, the equipment they had obtained before would be enough to make up for their losses. Now, they could basically go all out.

Most of the team members had the same idea.

It was precisely because of this mentality that the team members let go.

The three elite-level female Scorpions were the queens of the entire lion group, and their strength should not be underestimated.

After luring out and killing all the ordinary female scorpions, there was only one Scorpion King and three elite-level female scorpions left. They were not far from each other, and they were active in this open grassland, sometimes strolling leisurely, and sometimes lying down to rest for a while.

The crowd scattered among the swamp bushes, sitting on the ground to rest, recovering their health and mana. Only when all their states were full did they dare to fight the elite-level Scorpions.

While the crowd was resting, Nie Yan didn't rest. He was looking for a suitable attack position around the open space.
