-20, -20, -20...

Damage numbers floated above Nie Yan's head. What potent toxins!

Nie Yan didn't dare confront the basilisk head-on. He rolled aside, narrowly avoiding it, catching a clear glimpse of its greyish-black scales.

The basilisk's strike missed, and it swung its tail at Nie Yan.

It whistled through the air like a whip cracking, with a low, rumbling sound.

Being struck by that tail would be devastating. He'd lose at least half his health, if not die outright.

Swift Retreat!

Nie Yan activated the Swift Retreat skill, boosting his speed by 30%. He could barely keep pace with the basilisk. He retreated rapidly, dodging the tail strike, leaping over a dense thicket of swamp shrubs, landing lightly, and sprinting away.

The basilisk writhed, quickly giving chase.

Two figures darted across the swamp, one in front of the other.

Nie Yan, seeing that his speed wasn't enough, quickly used an acceleration scroll, increasing his pace slightly.

The basilisk pursued relentlessly. They were known as the most troublesome creatures in the swamp. Once they bit you, they wouldn't let go unless you escaped the muddy swamp.

Swift Retreat didn't last long. Nie Yan was increasingly anxious. Once the skill ended, the basilisk would quickly catch up.

Nie Yan's eyes scanned the passing bushes. Even though he knew it would be difficult to shake the basilisk, he wouldn't resign himself to fate.

In the distance, the blinding electrical light generated by lightning magic exploding in the jungle made Nie Yan's pupils contract. An idea flashed through his mind, and he ran towards the source of the light.

The Natellan Swamp was a forbidden zone for low-level players, but a paradise for experts, especially team players. Their main goal was the priest's Basic Resurrection skill!

Swamp Basilisks had a 0.001% chance of dropping Basic Resurrection. Resurrection was more valuable than anything else to a team, because a priest who learned Basic Resurrection could revive dead teammates, greatly reducing the team's losses, and sometimes even saving the team from destruction.

Of course, besides Basic Resurrection, it also dropped some other good items, such as the Chasing Moon Staff, which granted +9 to Lightning Magic Attack and +5 to Intelligence for Thunder Mages, and the Holy Wind Hammer, which granted +8 to Holy Shield Spells and +5 to Resilience for Paladins. Ordinary monsters also dropped good silver and gold items, but the drop rate was relatively low.

The equipment dropped here was pretty good. Plus, teams had gotten Basic Resurrection skills here before, so there were quite a few player teams coming to grind for the Basic Resurrection skill.

"Why hasn't Candy come back yet?" A dark-faced man wearing dark red skull armor frowned. His ID was Guang An Yongzui. Speaking of which, he was quite a figure. Before Faith, he had been famous in several virtual games, such as Bigu and Purgatory. Guang An Yongzui was the president of the Guang An Empire, a hegemonic figure. After entering Faith, he didn't continue to create a guild, but only formed a team with several friends with good skills. However, his team was still quite formidable. The +2 Death Rite set he was wearing was proof of that. It was a level five gold set, upgraded twice with Lucky Gems, and its stats were top-notch.

Guang An Yongzui chose the Berserker class. He was quite tall, with dark skin and a fierce face. Just standing there, he looked like an iron tower. The bone armor on his body had a huge skull inlaid on the front, flowing with a dark red, bloodthirsty luster. In his hand was a black greatsword, as wide as a hand and two yards long, full of destructive power.

Guang An Yongzui had a total of six people leveling up here: a Berserker, a Thief, three Mages, and a Priest. The one called Candy was the Thief in the team.

"He's probably lured away all the monsters in this area." A female Holy Word Priest in a pure white robe said. A faint white rainbow cascaded down from the robe. A pure gem was inlaid on the top of the staff in her hand, surrounded by a dazzling white halo.

This female Holy Word Priest was quite pretty, with a faint charm to her. She had a good figure, was relatively tall and slender, with alluring curves, and looked even more enchanting under the Light Dance Robe.

"That's true, there are really no monsters nearby. If we don't go a little further, we really won't be able to lure any monsters." Guang An Yongzui nodded.

Just as he was speaking, a Thief in the distance ran towards them, leading more than a dozen Swamp Basilisks.

The Thief had surprisingly delicate features, and his skin was so fair that most women would be jealous. There was an unspeakable sense of wickedness between his brows.

His movements were light and agile, easily dodging the Swamp Basilisks' attacks as he dashed towards them.

In the past Guang An Empire, Candy was definitely a figure to be reckoned with, known as the most dangerous person in the Guang An Empire. In other virtual games, he also played Assassin and Thief-like roles. Countless experts had died at his hands, making him a figure that people feared to talk about.

"Suyan, prepare magic!" Guang An Yongzui saw Candy lure the monsters over, and holding his greatsword, he secured a good terrain nearby.

The Holy Word Priest named Suyan and the other two Arcane and Elemental Mages began to prepare their spells, and magical elements flowed quickly.

The most noteworthy was the Elemental Mage beside her. A blinding bolt of lightning flashed in the air, condensing into a magic rune in his palm, turning into a huge electric ball.

He was still chanting incantations, at least more than a group of syllables. The tadpole-shaped characters on the magic rune kept flying and dissipating into the sky.

Seeing the more than a dozen Swamp Basilisks rushing over, Guang An Yongzui waved the greatsword in his hand, accelerated forward, roared, and used Whirlwind Slash to block the three Swamp Basilisks in front.

A dazzling white light fell, followed by an Arcane Fireball.

Bang, bang, two magic spells exploded, while Lei Fa was still chanting a magic skill.

Guang An Yongzui drank a bottle of Paralysis Removal Potion, and with a Mad Blade Slash, killed a Swamp Basilisk with low health. "Damn it, Elemental Hall's magic is just troublesome, it takes so long to cast."

As soon as he finished speaking, a lightning ball fell from the sky with a screech, landing among the basilisks, exploding with a bang, and lightning flew in all directions like fireworks, instantly tearing apart six Swamp Basilisks.

-360, -360, -360...

Large swaths of damage values floated up.

The ground was left with a deep pit under the ravages of this lightning ball, and the fragmented corpses of the basilisks were scattered all over the ground. The basilisks on the periphery also suffered extremely heavy damage.

"The power is not bad." Guang An Yongzui glanced at it. This skill was very powerful, but it could only be used to grind monsters. In PK, a magic spell that takes so long to chant is really useless.

After casting the magic spell, Lei Fa's magic value was exhausted, and he sat aside drinking spring water.
