The ultimate victor of this skirmish was Nie Yan. Everyone relied on their own abilities. Guang An Yong Zui, Tangguo, and the others, apart from bearing grudges against Nie Yan, couldn't do anything to him.

After shaking off Guang An Yong Zui and the others, Nie Yan continued rushing towards his destination. The lizard-snake dropped a skill book; he wondered what it was. He took it out and looked at it.

"Damn, it's Elementary Resurrection!"

Nie Yan couldn't help but sigh at his luck. Elementary Resurrection was extremely important for a team, so its price was ridiculously high. Even if it was priced at over one gold coin, there would probably be many teams rushing to buy it.

Skill Book: Elementary Resurrection

Casting Elements: Language, gestures, materials.

Skill Attributes: Can resurrect one teammate after the battle, casting time 10 seconds, cannot be used in battle.

Nie Yan put away the Elementary Resurrection skill book. This skill book would be very valuable for some time to come. He didn't lack money, so he wouldn't sell it.

Passing through a large thicket of bushes and in the middle of a swamp, the ruins of an ancient city appeared before Nie Yan's eyes. The towering city walls, eroded by wind and rain, were dilapidated, but the outline of the ancient city could still be vaguely seen. In the center of the ancient city was a magnificent pyramid, built of huge stones, with ancient Dark Age texts carved on it. The ancient, vigorous characters brought a heavy sense of history.

The fortress of the Dark Age had experienced countless wars. No one knew when it began, but no intelligent life lived within it anymore. Only these walls and pillars sang lonely ballads in the passage of time.

This was the ancient city!

Nie Yan walked around the city wall for a distance and found the city gate of this ancient city.

Sorting out his backpack, Nie Yan stepped into this ancient city. The city gate was covered with ruins. The moment he entered the ancient city, the sky turned dark, as if he had entered another space-time. Darkness enveloped everything, and only this gloomy ancient city remained between this vast land.

System: You have entered the Soggoth Fortress.

Nie Yan looked ahead. It was an endless stretch of ruins, with only the towering pyramid in the center standing majestically. The ground was covered with dense white bones.

Nie Yan felt a chilling aura rushing towards him. With a crack, one of the skeletons moved, and slowly crawled up.

Immediately afterwards, countless skeletons stood up from the ground. Those with short statures must have been dwarves in life. The tall ones with huge tails were likely dragonkin. There were also humans and giants.

This was an ancient battlefield. Various races and countless creatures died in this fortress, then transformed into countless vengeful spirits, sealed in their corpses. Once they sensed the aura of a living being, they would be resurrected and seek food.

Nie Yan used Super Appraisal.

Skeleton Pilgrim: Level 10, Health 120/120 (Extremely Fragile).

Skeleton Mage: Level 10, Health 80/80 (Extremely Fragile).

Skeleton Ripper: Level 10, Health 150/150 (Extremely Fragile).

These things didn't have high health, and their attacks weren't strong either. Plus, their attributes were extremely fragile. The level difference could be ignored, but what couldn't be ignored was their numbers. The entire narrow corridor was full of skeletons. Moreover, skeletons had a special ability: stun and bleeding skills had no effect on them. Stealth was also ineffective; they judged a person's position not through sight, but through sensing living beings.

Nie Yan stayed far away from these skeletal creatures, and when he found a straggler, he rushed up and solved it.

Discovering a Skeleton Pilgrim wandering not far away, Nie Yan raised his dagger and rushed up. With an Assassinate followed by a Vital Strike, the Skeleton Pilgrim fell apart into pieces.

System: Killing a monster above your level grants a 200% experience bonus. You gained 230 experience.

These skeletons didn't have good attributes, but they gave a lot of experience.

Nie Yan had just killed a Skeleton Pilgrim when dozens of Skeleton Pilgrims and Skeleton Rippers rushed towards Nie Yan, waving the daggers in their hands. They were overwhelming like a tide. Behind them, the Skeleton Mages waved their staffs. Red lights and white lights reflected each other, representing fire, ice, and lightning magic!

Damn it, why are there so many! Nie Yan thought dejectedly, glancing back. The road he came from was blocked, crowded with skeletons. He quickly ran towards another path.

Although there were many skeletons, they were clumsy, so Nie Yan wasn't worried about encountering any danger.

Bang bang bang, streaks of magic exploded beside Nie Yan. Nie Yan entered a turn, rushed out of the Skeleton Mages' attack range, and looked ahead. A group of Skeleton Soldiers was aggressively blocking his path.

With no way forward and pursuers behind, Nie Yan glanced to the side. It was a wall more than five yards high, with some erosion and damage, revealing pits. Nie Yan took a powerful leap, stepped on the pits in the wall, somersaulted, and jumped over the high wall.

Nie Yan landed easily. This was another path, with only a few Skeleton Mages scattered nearby, and many corpses on the ground. They were all skeletal remains that hadn't yet awakened.

Nie Yan didn't dare to be negligent and pounced on one of the Skeleton Mages, his dagger attacking the Skeleton Mage.

The Skeleton Mage shattered into pieces like glass falling to the ground.

The surrounding Skeleton Mages were preparing magic. Nie Yan, like a hunting leopard, quickly killed them one by one. Nie Yan picked up the items dropped by these Skeleton Mages. At this moment, the skeletal remains on the ground moved and slowly crawled up from the ground.

Nie Yan didn't dare to stay and rushed forward.

Stepping over a few smooth stone slabs, Nie Yan suddenly felt some vibrations under his feet. Although it was extremely subtle, he still sensed it immediately.

A trap!

Nie Yan rolled on the spot. With a boom, a Blasting Mine exploded where he had just been standing, sending rubble flying. Several skeletons nearby were blown away by the shock wave of the explosion, and fragments of bones were scattered all over the ground.

Several stones flew at Nie Yan.

-12, -13, -15. Several damage values floated from Nie Yan's head.

Nie Yan was secretly startled. The lethality of this Blasting Mine was really powerful. If he had stepped on it firmly, he would have been crushed to pieces.

Although the Blasting Mine was very powerful, enough to blow a Thief over, there was a time interval of about two seconds from triggering to detonation. As long as he maintained a highly alert state, he could easily avoid it.
