Chapter 1 Nearer and Nearer

Getting closer and closer to the White-Headed Griffin, and seeing it about to resume level flight, Nie Yan activated the skill on the Creeper Ring. His five fingers transformed into suction cups, like a gecko firmly stuck to the back of the White-Headed Griffin.

The others witnessed this mythical scene with their own eyes, their minds struggling to catch up.

How did Mad Rogue Nie Yan do it!

From the back of the Darkwing Dragon to the back of the White-Headed Griffin, everything happened in an instant.

"Guigu, be careful!"

"Guigu!" The crowd exclaimed in alarm, but their shouts came too late.

How could Nie Yan give Guigu Jueqing a chance to react!

Guigu Jueqing would never have imagined that Nie Yan would appear behind him!

This was undoubtedly a fantasy!

Yet, it had indeed happened!

Guigu Jueqing was still wondering why the others were telling him to be careful when he had clearly dodged the Darkwing Dragon!

Nie Yan suddenly erupted, pouncing towards Guigu Jueqing's back, the Zennarde's Sword in his hand slashing down.

Guigu Jueqing suddenly felt that something was wrong behind him. When he turned back, the flames of Zennarde's Sword came head-on. His hands were gripping the back of the White-Headed Griffin, so he couldn't free them to use any skills or dodge.

The White-Headed Griffin was flying upwards. If he let go, he would fall from the sky, his bones crushed!

It was over. Guigu Jueqing's pupils contracted sharply, filled with fear. Once he died, the White-Headed Griffin could not be saved either!

However, it was too late.

Nie Yan's Zennarde's Sword slashed down from his back. Blood splattered as Nie Yan instantly killed Guigu Jueqing, his corpse falling from the sky.

The White-Headed Griffin let out a low, mournful cry, flying towards Guigu Jueqing's corpse.

If a player died, their flying mount would return to the player's pet space within twenty seconds. Naturally, Nie Yan would not let the White-Headed Griffin off easily!

Nie Yan suddenly erupted, stabbing the White-Headed Griffin's head with his Zennarde's Sword.

The White-Headed Griffin let out a heart-wrenching scream, rolling and struggling in the sky. The Darkwing Dragon flew above the White-Headed Griffin, its strong claws grabbing the White-Headed Griffin's head. With a snap, the White-Headed Griffin's skull was crushed.

The Darkwing Dragon pulled a life core from the White-Headed Griffin's head, swallowed it, rolled over, and caught Nie Yan on its back.

The White-Headed Griffin's corpse fell from the sky, crashing to the ground.

The whole process only took a dozen seconds. The two players riding Poisonous Dragonflies and Wind Serpents didn't even have time to rescue him.

Nie Yan glanced at the players on the backs of the two flying mounts.

Seeing Nie Yan's cold gaze, their bodies felt stiff, as if they were being watched by a demon.

The White-Headed Griffin was torn apart alive, and the heavy smell of blood still permeated the sky.

Everything that had just happened was like a nightmare, lingering in their minds and making them want to escape.

The players below were fighting fiercely. With a bang, a player's corpse fell from the sky. Immediately afterwards, with a boom, the White-Headed Griffin's corpse crashed heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Where they were, a rain of blood fell.

The bloody smell spread, the enchanting red like a blooming rose.

After a wave of blood rain, the surroundings were still shrouded in blood mist.

Crazy Mage looked blankly at the sky. The White-Headed Griffin was dead! There were still five flying mounts left. Were they doomed to a miserable defeat?

"Brothers, Guild Leader Nie Yan took down a flying mount. We can't hold him back! Kill!"

The roar of Ni Ren Tribe shook the sky, and the voice of the Mage Alliance was swallowed by the overwhelming shouts.

The Darkwing Dragon carried Nie Yan quickly towards the direction where the Azure Winged Bird was fleeing. He had to quickly rescue Essence Devil! The Azure Winged Bird was already seriously injured and unable to fight anymore.

Looking into the distance, he saw a Firebird burning with scorching flames chasing after the Azure Winged Bird, with a Butterfly Fairy and another Wind Serpent preparing to attack it from both sides.

"Guigu is dead!"

"How could this be!"

The arcane mage riding on the back of the Firebird paused. In theory, as long as there were no mistakes, Guigu Jueqing would never die easily. The situation had begun to develop in a direction they couldn't control.

Not far away, the Darkwing Dragon was approaching them at an extremely fast speed.

"Mad Rogue Nie Yan is coming!"

"Don't panic, take down the Azure Winged Bird first!" the arcane mage shouted, but at this moment, even his nerves were stretched to the limit. How could the other two not panic!

Seeing the Darkwing Dragon coming, Essence Devil felt relieved. Just when the few of them didn't know whether to attack or retreat, Essence Devil revealed an evil smile. After being chased for so long, he finally had a chance to fight back!

Transmutation!

The feathers on the Azure Winged Bird transformed into gorgeous colors, like a hundred flowers blooming. The wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Azure Winged Bird had extremely weak combat power, only slightly stronger than a Tier 2 flying mount, but it had a good skill, which was to use transmutation to change from severe injury to minor injury during combat, thereby gaining continuous combat power.

The mutation of the Azure Winged Bird stunned the people on the Mage Alliance's side.

At this moment, Essence Devil locked onto the player on the Butterfly Fairy's back and cast a Mental Shock.

The player was preparing to ride the Butterfly Fairy to pounce on Essence Devil. Without warning, a strong mental interference hit him, causing his body to be somewhat out of control, but the Butterfly Fairy still carried out his previous instructions, pouncing towards the Azure Winged Bird.

The Azure Winged Bird suddenly turned around and pounced on the Butterfly Fairy. The two became entangled, falling rapidly downward in a straight line.

"I can't tell who's who, I can't attack!" the player on the Wind Serpent's back said anxiously.

The arcane mage on the Firebird didn't expect such a change to occur. This way, they wouldn't be able to kill the Azure Winged Bird. He hoped the Butterfly Fairy could kill the Azure Winged Bird! There shouldn't be any problems, the Butterfly Fairy could create illusions!

In just a short moment, Nie Yan had already pounced up on the Darkwing Dragon. The Darkwing Dragon let out a furious roar, its sharp claws grabbing towards the Wind Serpent.

"Careful!"

Want to catch me? Not that easy! The player on the Wind Serpent's back saw the Darkwing Dragon pouncing over and sneered. The Wind Serpent's two pairs of transparent wings vibrated rapidly, its frequency extremely fast, its speed suddenly increasing by a factor of two, fleeing quickly.

Roar! The Darkwing Dragon let out a low dragon roar, and a powerful dragon might was released. Dragon might was more effective against lower-level creatures!

The Wind Serpent's figure paused slightly. Just as the Wind Serpent's movements stagnated for a moment, the Darkwing Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a scorching dragon breath, shooting towards the Wind Serpent.

With a bang, the dragon breath hit the Wind Serpent's back, blasting the Wind Serpent away, struggling violently in the air.

The Darkwing Dragon quickly pounced down, grabbed the Wind Serpent's head, pulled out the Wind Serpent's life core, and bit down on it.

Nie Yan's speed was as swift as thunder. In such a short time, he had taken down the Wind Serpent. The Darkwing Dragon's strength was a bit beyond their imagination. At this time, the arcane mage on the Firebird panicked a bit, turning around to run away. Nie Yan controlled the Darkwing Dragon to pounce up, and the distance between the two sides quickly shortened.

Realizing that the Darkwing Dragon was getting closer and closer, the arcane mage slightly squatted down, preparing to make some difficult aerial somersaults to avoid the Darkwing Dragon's pounce.

The Darkwing Dragon pounced down like a hawk catching a rabbit.

Seeing that the Firebird was about to be killed by the Darkwing Dragon, the Firebird suddenly rolled over and flew to the side.

Want to run? Not so easy. Nie Yan's eyes locked onto the Firebird, his body arched like a coiled spring. He used the skill on the Jumper Ring, flying into the air, pouncing towards the Firebird.

The whistling of the wind rang in his ears, Nie Yan's thin body seemed to be blown away.

The arcane mage saw Nie Yan rising into the air, pouncing towards them, and was startled. Mad Rogue Nie Yan was really audacious, daring to do such dangerous things. Wasn't he afraid of falling down and being crushed to pieces?

Under such tense circumstances, the arcane mage didn't even think that Nie Yan had a Feather Fall Gem, and even if he fell, he would be safe and sound. He only had one thought in his mind, and that was to let Mad Rogue Nie Yan fall down, then Mad Rogue Nie Yan would be finished!

Just as Nie Yan was about to step on the Firebird's back, the arcane mage suddenly spat out a series of obscure spells, Dispel Magic!

A powerful force pushed Nie Yan away.

Nie Yan flew backwards, getting farther and farther away from the Firebird, his body falling rapidly.

"Mad Rogue Nie Yan, goodbye!" the arcane mage laughed triumphantly.

But Nie Yan's next action made his laughter stop abruptly. Just as his body was being pushed away, he used a skill on the Silkworm Ring, a strand of spider silk sticking to the Firebird's feathers, suddenly tightening, pulling Nie Yan back.

"Go to hell!" the arcane mage quickly cast a Fireball, a burning fireball shooting straight towards him, snapping the spider silk.

But his movements were already too slow. Nie Yan's climbing skill effect hadn't disappeared yet, his hands tightly gripping the Firebird's feathers, leaping onto the Firebird's back.

Mental Shock!

The arcane mage waved his staff, opening his mouth and making a sharp cry, a sound like a knife cutting glass, a powerful mental impact coming head-on.

Seeing that he was about to be hit by the Mental Shock, Nie Yan cast Mental Immunity, rushing towards the arcane mage, resisting the Mental Shock.

It's not certain who will die!

Miss, Mental Shock is ineffective! The arcane mage was stunned, and saw the Zennarde's Sword in Nie Yan's hand coming to him with lightning speed, slashing down. His heart contracted violently due to tension.

"Damn!" the arcane mage couldn't help but curse. Such a small place on the Firebird's back, where could he hide?
