Chapter 104 The Raging Buffalo Warrior

"Boss, news from over there says the Mages Alliance is about to collapse. Should we send troops to support them?" Lieyan asked. Angel Corps and the Mages Alliance did have some cooperative relations.

The Winged Angel shook his head and smiled, "We supported the Mages Alliance before because of our friendship with the Century Financial Group; we had to do it. Now the Mages Alliance is at an irreversible disadvantage. Even if we go to support them, they are destined to fail. A large capital force is blocking the Century Financial Group, and the Century Financial Group is overwhelmed and can't take care of the Mages Alliance. We don't need to join in the fun. The Ni Ren Tribe still has a long way to go to dominate the Greenland Empire, and they can't threaten us at all. Even if the Ni Ren Tribe defeats the Mages Alliance and Holy Guardians, it won't be easy for them to dominate for a while. As far as I know, there is another force in the Greenland Empire that is no less than the Century Financial Group rising, and they have already won over dozens of guilds. Since the Ni Ren Tribe won't stop, let them continue fighting."

The Winged Angel wasn't worried about the battle situation in the Greenland Empire at all. The Ni Ren Tribe's Frost Ironclad Catapults couldn't cross mountains and ridges to reach the Saturn Empire. They were stepping up their research on advanced siege equipment. In a few months, the Frost Ironclad Catapults would naturally no longer be able to threaten them.

The Angel Corps' position in the Saturn Empire was unshakable, while the Ni Ren Tribe still had a long way to go.

With the Winged Angel's words, several high-level members of the Angel Corps stopped thinking about sending troops to aid the Mages Alliance. Their task was to continue exploring the Griffin Woodlands. The top priority was to find more flying mounts and build a strong enough air force! Once they established air superiority, it would be very helpful for future cross-border operations.

Since the Angel Corps decided not to intervene, the Mages Alliance and Holy Guardians were truly left isolated and helpless.

Guo Huai got the news that the Angel Corps didn't intend to send aid to the Mages Alliance and Holy Guardians, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Angel Corps didn't decide to intervene, things would be easy to handle. They could slowly eat away at the Mages Alliance bit by bit.

Knowing that the Winged Angel had abandoned them, Kuang Fa should be very depressed.

The Ni Ren Tribe's Frost Ironclad Catapults were devastating the Mages Alliance's fortress. Two trebuchets had been produced. The Mages Alliance was already in the bag. Next, they would consider how to slowly dissect and harvest them.

According to Guo Huai's calculations, at most three days, the Mages Alliance's Aedon Fortress would be a ruin.

The powerful advantage strengthened the Ni Ren Tribe players' confidence. The entire Ni Ren Tribe was in high spirits.

Since there was nothing to worry about on that front, Nie Yan focused more on practicing his skill proficiency. In his past life, even a Shadow Dancer level expert over level 100 might not be able to raise free skills like Backstab to level eight. Once these free skills were raised to a certain level, challenging Shadow Dancer wouldn't be a problem.

A grand road was unfolding before Nie Yan's eyes.

Nie Yan buried himself in hard training, grinding monsters in the wilderness while exploring the outside.

The map of this enchanted land was truly vast. No matter how he walked, he couldn't see the edge. Nie Yan's gains were quite substantial in the process of grinding monsters. He collected more than fifty skill books of various kinds. This place didn't produce anything else, just skill books. There were quite a few good things, which made Nie Yan very excited. Among these skills were many top-tier ones. If they were thrown into the guild warehouse, they would definitely drive the Ni Ren Tribe players crazy. There were a few Thief skills and a free skill book, but since he already had so many skills, continuing to learn them would be a burden, so he decided to put it aside for now and practice the existing skills first.

Walking up a high slope, he looked towards a sunken basin in the middle of the grassland. A tall Minotaur Warrior appeared in Nie Yan's field of vision. This Minotaur Warrior was like a wild bear, two heads taller than ordinary Minotaur Warriors, with a very thick body, wearing a golden spiky armor, and holding a super giant axe.

It might be an elite monster, Nie Yan couldn't help but think. He stealthily crept towards the Minotaur Warrior's back, stopping about thirty yards away and casting a scout on it.

Raging Minotaur Warrior: Level 120 Elite, HP 3,000,000.

Sure enough, it was an elite, with such thick HP. Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat. Elites above level 100 were very difficult to deal with. In the current situation, Nie Yan was no match for it.

After thinking for a moment, Nie Yan decided to leave. Among all his skills, it was estimated that only the level eight Backstab skill could cause damage to the Raging Minotaur Warrior. With only one skill, there was no way to kill the Raging Minotaur Warrior.

Just as Nie Yan was about to leave, some flashing things on the grassland next to the Raging Minotaur Warrior caught his attention.

It was a gentle seven-colored light, the colors constantly changing, extremely gorgeous.

At first, Nie Yan thought it was light reflecting off the Raging Minotaur Warrior's armor, but then he realized it wasn't.

Could it be a treasure chest? Generally, a chest that emits this kind of seven-colored light is at least sub-legendary, and may even be legendary.

Nie Yan slowly stealthed towards that side, approaching to about twenty yards away from the Raging Minotaur Warrior.

The Raging Minotaur Warrior took a few steps, his heavy footsteps causing the ground to tremble.

Seeing the Raging Minotaur Warrior move, Nie Yan quickly held his breath and cast a few skills to enhance his stealth effect.

The Raging Minotaur Warrior didn't notice Nie Yan and continued to wander around.

It seems that the Raging Minotaur Warrior's perception ability isn't very good. Nie Yan took a few more steps forward. When he was about seven yards away from the Raging Minotaur Warrior, the Raging Minotaur Warrior finally reacted and searched around with its eyes.

Nie Yan stopped and looked at the bushes not far from the Raging Minotaur Warrior. A small treasure chest lay quietly in the bushes. The bushes, about knee-high, obscured it, making it difficult to find. It was cast entirely of an unknown metal, looking very sturdy. A fist-sized iron lock hung on the lid.

Casting scout on the treasure chest, it was a sub-legendary chest.

Nie Yan looked at the Raging Minotaur Warrior. Although the Raging Minotaur Warrior was wandering around, it always maintained a distance of less than five yards from the treasure chest. He had no chance to attack at all.

Unless he could lure the Raging Minotaur Warrior away!

If he let the Golden Land Dragon lure it, it wouldn't be worth it if the Golden Land Dragon died. After thinking about it, it would be more cost-effective to hire a Paladin using the Holy Hire skill. Anyway, if the hired Paladin died, he only needed to pay some gold coins to resurrect it.

Nie Yan retreated back to more than thirty yards away from the Raging Minotaur Warrior, opened the Holy Hire interface, and hired a level 10 mercenary, the Paladin Kierwot. Compared to lower-level Paladins, level 10 Paladins had a significant increase in strength. The most obvious was that their running speed was faster.

"Respected Mr. Nirvana Flame, I am willing to serve you," Kierwot said respectfully.

Under Nie Yan's command, Kierwot cautiously approached the Raging Minotaur Warrior.

When he was twenty yards away from the Raging Minotaur Warrior, the Raging Minotaur Warrior stared at Kierwot with eyes like copper bells, but it never took the initiative to attack.

Kierwot got closer and closer to the Raging Minotaur Warrior, nineteen yards, eighteen yards... He was testing the limit of the Raging Minotaur Warrior. Nie Yan's heart was in his throat. He cast a few skills on Kierwot to increase his running speed, ready to escape at any time.

When Kierwot approached the Raging Minotaur Warrior to about thirteen yards, he finally touched the limit of the Raging Minotaur Warrior. The Raging Minotaur Warrior roared and pounced on Kierwot.

"Here it comes," Nie Yan's heart suddenly tensed.

Kierwot raised the greatsword in his hand and cast a Purification on the Raging Minotaur Warrior.

The Raging Minotaur Warrior quickly approached Kierwot. Kierwot turned and ran.

Ground Cleave!

The giant axe in the Raging Minotaur Warrior's hand shone brightly, and a powerful force slashed down.

Kierwot suddenly accelerated and rushed forward about five or six yards.

With a loud bang, the Raging Minotaur Warrior slashed on the ground, and cracks appeared on the ground, spreading rapidly like a landslide, with gravel flying.

Fortunately, Nie Yan reacted quickly and gave Kierwot instructions in advance, so Kierwot escaped.

But the Raging Minotaur Warrior's attack didn't end there. It roared, and a powerful sonic wave spread out.

War Roar!

Kierwot hadn't run far when a powerful sonic wave hit Kierwot's back. Kierwot was knocked away and fell heavily to the ground.

Kierwot staggered to his feet and ran wildly to the outside, casting a few healing and status skills on himself.

But his speed was far too different compared to the Raging Minotaur Warrior. With a charge, the Raging Minotaur Warrior quickly closed the distance between it and Kierwot, and the giant axe in its hand slammed down.

Seeing the Raging Minotaur Warrior's movements, Nie Yan's pupils suddenly contracted. What fast attack speed!

Ordinary Minotaur Warriors had a very slow attack speed, but the Raging Minotaur Warrior was completely different, with an insanely fast attack speed.

With a muffled sound, Kierwot was knocked away by the Raging Minotaur Warrior and fell into a dizzy state. Immediately afterwards, the Raging Minotaur Warrior chopped down with an axe, instantly sweeping Kierwot's HP to zero.

Kierwot died.

The Raging Minotaur Warrior snorted and hovered around Kierwot's corpse for a moment before returning to the treasure chest.

The Raging Minotaur Warrior's strength was too amazing. Nie Yan wanted to get the things out of the sub-legendary treasure chest, but it wouldn't be easy.

Originally, he wanted Kierwot to lure the Raging Minotaur Warrior away, so he could take the opportunity to open the treasure chest, but now this plan had to be abandoned.

Looking down at the skill bar, if he raised the other free skills to level seven or eight, he might have a chance, Nie Yan couldn't help but think. For the time being, he could only leave and honestly practice his skills before coming back to deal with the Raging Minotaur Warrior.
