Chapter 15 Shadow Priest, Use Bind!

Bind!

The elite scorpions' movements suddenly hitched, pausing for a moment.

The effect of the Bind spell lasted for less than a second, but its impact was obvious.

Magic rained down, and the elite scorpion's health dropped by another 2% or so. It entered a state of frenzy, its attack soaring by 300%. The pressure on Kuangtao Manjuan suddenly increased, and the priests desperately threw healing spells at him as if they were free.

Nie Yan moved his hand, and a ball of white powder appeared in his palm. He scattered it.

*Bang*, the white powder exploded, and at the center of the powder was a dazzling white light. The piercing rays were like sharp thorns, stabbing into the elite scorpion's eyes.

The other team members were also affected by the white light, but to a lesser extent. Unlike the elite scorpion, it had completely lost its vision.

This was Flash Dust that Nie Yan had bought from Soso Mia. This stuff could instantly release a strong light, burning the target's eyes for a few seconds. Players could take advantage of the enemy's loss of vision to kill them or escape. Although it was a bit expensive, it was extremely useful.

"Keep up the output, don't stop!" Nie Yan shouted.

The team was in a slight commotion due to the Flash Dust's strong light, but they quickly calmed down. They realized that Nie Yan was the one who released it, and the elite scorpion was currently blinded. So, the magic spells slammed even more fiercely at the elite scorpion.

The elite scorpion finally whimpered and fell to the ground.

Logically speaking, when the elite scorpion's health was at 5%, it should have been the most insane and dangerous. But under the effects of the Bind spell and Flash Dust, it basically didn't unleash any combat power before falling to the ground.

If it had been any other time, encountering an elite scorpion would not have ended so easily!

"What dropped?" Nie Yan asked Half-Awake Fox.

Half-Awake Fox picked up the items dropped by the elite scorpion. It was a thief's dagger, Dark Gold-grade.

Blood Pact Dagger (Dark Gold): Required Level 0.

Attributes: Attack 23-26, Agility +11, Crit +12, Life Steal 3%.

Attack Speed: 2.3

Weight: 3 lbs.

Restriction: Usable by all factions.

"It's a thief's dagger!" Half-Awake Fox shared the Blood Pact Dagger's stats.

Nie Yan looked at it. It was a level 0 Dark Gold dagger with decent stats. The attack was only slightly lower than the level 5 Gold-grade Assassin's Training, but the additional Crit and Life Steal attributes were clearly better than Assassin's Training.

Finally, he could switch daggers.

The Blood Pact from Ogre-Maw Muddy Mire was the best among level zero daggers.

"I'll take this Blood Pact," Nie Yan said to Half-Awake Fox.

All the thieves in the team were eyeing such a good item. Once Nie Yan spoke, they all knew they had no chance. Thinking about it, how could Nie Yan not want the Blood Pact Dagger?

Half-Awake Fox traded the Blood Pact Dagger to Nie Yan. Nie Yan had brought them here to run the Expert-level Ogre-Maw Muddy Mire. Without Nie Yan, they wouldn't have made it this far. But aside from taking a Gold-grade leg guard, Nie Yan hadn't taken anything else. He felt a little embarrassed. Now that a thief's Dark Gold equipment had dropped, it was only natural that Nie Yan would get first pick.

Nie Yan replaced the Cow Horn Dagger in his hand with the Blood Pact Dagger. His attack increased significantly. In a few days, he should be able to farm the Black Blood Set. At that time, his equipment would improve another level.

Using the same method, Nie Yan lured out the two elite female scorpions near the Scorpion King and killed them one by one. These two elite female scorpions also dropped two decent pieces of equipment, but they weren't for thieves, so Nie Yan ignored them.

"By the way, what was that stuff you used to burn the scorpion's eyes just now?" Half-Awake Fox finally couldn't hold back his question.

The attention of Dusk, Stone, and the others also turned over. That stuff was indeed good. Burning the enemy's eyes during battle could be exceptionally effective at critical moments.

"Flash Dust, a special item, but it can only be used on monsters below level 10."

"Do you have any left over?"

"I do have some, but I only have nine portions left," Nie Yan said after a moment of thought. Since Half-Awake Fox and the others had seen it, there was no need to hide anything.

"Is this stuff rare? How about I buy two portions from you for one silver coin each?" Half-Awake Fox said. This stuff could be exceptionally effective when fighting bosses or PK-ing. Even one silver coin per portion wasn't expensive.

Half-Awake Fox's words made Nie Yan's eyes light up. If Half-Awake Fox was willing to pay one silver coin for a portion of Flash Dust, then there would definitely be more people willing to pay a high price for these things. Soso Mia was a hidden NPC. No one had discovered him yet. If he bought a large number of things like Flash Dust and Web Spell scrolls from there and sold them on the market, he could probably make a lot of money.

At least before level 10, players had a very high demand for beginner Flash Dust, Web Spell scrolls, and Polymorph scrolls.

"Let's talk about it later. Let's clear the Ogre-Maw Muddy Mire first," Nie Yan said. After leaving the dungeon, he could put some of these things on the market to see how it goes.

"Okay, if you have extra, sell me some more," Half-Awake Fox said. Money wasn't a problem for him. He had seen the effect of Flash Dust and was eager to get it.

Only the final Scorpion King remained. The quest had reached its final moment.

This Scorpion King was much stronger and larger than the Scorpion Kings in the Simple and Normal difficulties, causing Half-Awake Fox and the others to be secretly alarmed.

This was the first Lord-class creature they had encountered!

The team members couldn't help but feel uneasy. Even though they had witnessed miracles under Nie Yan's leadership, this absolute power was indeed intimidating.

"Paladin, prepare Protection from Evil. Priests, pay attention to healing Kuangtao Manjuan, and conserve mana at the same time. When facing the Scorpion King, there will definitely be casualties. Anyone else in this team can die, but Kuangtao cannot. If he dies, it will basically mean a team wipe. So, the priests can only heal Kuangtao Manjuan. If any other melee DPS are low on health, immediately leave the battlefield. No one will heal you. Go outside the battlefield to recover your health. Shadow Priest, save your Bind spell. I'll remind you when I need you," Nie Yan assigned everyone's tasks one by one.

The team members listened attentively, not daring to miss a single detail.

"As for the rest, there's nothing else. Actually, the Scorpion King is just like that. There's nothing to be nervous about," Nie Yan said casually.

Half-Awake Fox, Dusk, and the others exchanged glances, but they smiled wryly in their hearts. Probably only Nie Yan dared to say such a thing. That was a Lord-class monster!
