Chapter 1 The Cold Wind

A cold wind howled and sobbed, and sharp shrieks came from the darkness from time to time. Under Nie Yan's control, five Rum Spiders headed into the darkness. They began to wantonly attack other Rum Spiders, causing a commotion in the wilderness.

A large group of Rum Spiders surrounded them. Under Nie Yan's control, the five Rum Spiders began to run back, followed by a large group of them, densely packed and spectacular.

Seeing more and more Rum Spiders appearing ahead, Nie Yan shook off a high-level scroll and uttered a series of obscure incantations. Traces of magical elements gathered around him.

Humans had a higher intelligence bonus, and Nie Yan had a lot of equipment that added to his intelligence, making his intelligence very high, reaching an astonishing 122. This was definitely very rare among all thieves.

High intelligence allowed Nie Yan to smoothly cast most scrolls and magical items.

The Rum Spiders in the distance were getting closer and closer. Within a range of dozens of yards, there were hundreds of Rum Spiders gathered.

At this moment, the last syllable in Nie Yan's mouth stopped abruptly, and the magic spell was just finished. Red clouds rolled in the sky, and rolling hot flames poured down like a rainstorm.

In an instant, the area of 20*20 yards was filled with raging flames, like a purgatory on earth. The Rum Spiders in the flames let out sharp screams, and pieces of damage floated up. After dozens of seconds, the ground was cleared, and all the Rum Spiders fell to the ground.

Nie Yan looked at his experience. The experience bar soared to 73%. He had just reached level forty!

After a while, the flames gradually extinguished, leaving only a ground of corpses and scattered equipment. Two of the five Rum Spiders commanded by Nie Yan also died. After cleaning up the remaining Rum Spiders with residual blood nearby, Nie Yan began to pick up the equipment on the ground.

He picked up three gold coins just in cash, as well as a lot of sundries. He left all the valuable ones and threw away the worthless ones to avoid taking up space.

Among the Rum Spiders, an item caught his attention.

It was a small skull, about the size of a palm, jet black in color, with a blue gem inlaid on it. Green flames burned in the eye sockets, constantly beating, and the shape was quite unique.

Summoning Skull: Medium item, requires Intelligence, 500.

Item Description: Necromancers can use this item as a medium to summon undead creatures, vassal souls, and broken Bone Mammoths.

Nie Yan didn't know what this Summoning Skull was for. It was an item for necromancers, and it looked like a special item. He didn't know how much it was worth. After thinking about it, Nie Yan didn't care too much and threw it directly into his backpack.

Apart from this Summoning Skull, there were no other discoveries. The Rum Spiders near Nie Yan were dissolved and disappeared into the air. All the corpses of these Rum Spiders were purified.

Nie Yan continued to lure monsters and grind, and time passed bit by bit.

By the time he logged off, Nie Yan had reached level forty-three. During this period, the Golden Earth Dragon also reached level thirty-nine, just one step away from level forty. The Golden Earth Dragon learned a new skill, Flame Encirclement, which ignited a ball of flame all over its body. All creatures within a range of 5 yards around it would suffer flame damage.

As time went by, more and more players had pets, but most of them were low-level and had poor growth. His Golden Earth Dragon was definitely one of the best among all pets.

Continuing to grow like this, even Nie Yan himself could hardly imagine how much the Golden Earth Dragon would grow.

For two consecutive days, he ran out of scrolls and manipulated the Golden Earth Dragon to grind and level up. Leveling up was still relatively fast, and he reached level forty-seven, and he also dropped a lot of items.

Nie Yan looked at the level ranking. Tang Yao, the highest level player, was already level 53, and Blood狂Blade was also level 53, but his experience was still a little bit behind Tang Yao. After all, this underground world was not Nie Yan's familiar territory. If he returned to the surface, Nie Yan's leveling speed would definitely be several times faster.

After killing thousands of Rum Spiders, Nie Yan didn't drop anything similar to the Summoning Skull again. He was certain that this thing shouldn't be something you find on every street corner. Items with low drop rates are usually more valuable.

Nie Yan summoned the Golden Earth Dragon back and glanced into the distance. He wondered what was in the center of this Spider Canyon. He had been here for two days, but he hadn't been able to go inside and take a look.

Nie Yan cast the skill on the Creeper Ring, stuck to the rock wall, and proceeded inside. Occasionally, when he encountered spider nests hanging on the rock wall, he quickly detoured far away.

After passing through a narrow valley, some buildings appeared vaguely in the darkness in the distance. One or two lights were scattered, and they were not very clear in the night.

The light cluster around Nie Yan seemed to sense something and trembled violently.

System: You have discovered the Karras Spider-man Tribe.

It might be related to the mission. Nie Yan climbed forward. A stream of more than ten yards wide appeared in front of him, cutting off the rock wall. The stream water surged and emitted a strong stench. This river was full of poison! He equipped the skill on the Jumper Ring, and then jumped from the rock wall on this side to the rock wall on the opposite side, like a gecko, sticking to the rock wall on the opposite side.

Nie Yan came down from the rock wall, entered stealth, and walked towards the village in the distance.

After observing, he found that the terrain here was a closed area. Three sides were closed rock walls, and the front was separated by a river. The village in the distance could be said to be isolated from the world.

Unless there are special items such as the Jumper Ring and the Floating Ring, one can reach the other side.

Nie Yan shuttled through the wilderness. A Spider-man appeared not far away. He slowly sneaked over and threw a reconnaissance at the Spider-man.

Spider-man: Level 60, HP 3000/3000.

There were no other Spider-men active nearby. Nie Yan sneaked over and went behind the Spider-man.

The Spider-man was hunting insects. Nie Yan suddenly burst out, and the Sword of Zennarde in his hand stabbed into the back of the Spider-man's head.

The Spider-man panicked and wanted to escape.

But if he was allowed to run away, Nie Yan would not be able to survive. He hit with one sword, and the Sword of Zennarde in his hand performed a backstab and a gouge. The Spider-man fell to the ground before he could react and turned into a corpse.

Nie Yan activated disguise, and his body slowly transformed into the image of a Spider-man, and then walked towards the village in the distance.

Along the way, Nie Yan encountered many Spider-men, either preying or making various tools.

"dahud...." They uttered some strange sounds, as if they were saying something, but Nie Yan couldn't understand.

Nie Yan didn't know Spider-man language, which was a very small language.

The language settings of Faith are very wonderful, divided into various language families, with hundreds of thousands of languages. For example, there are five or six kinds of undead languages ​​circulating in the Undead Empire, with some slight deviations. Players of the Undead Empire communicate with each other in undead language. If Nie Yan has not learned Fanbia Undead Language, he will not be able to understand what they are saying. If he learns Undead Language, the system will automatically translate. When switching to Undead Language, what Nie Yan says naturally becomes Undead Language. If players want to go to the library to learn the languages ​​of other races, especially the languages ​​of hostile camps, it will cost tens of thousands of gold coins.

In this way, ordinary lawful evil players and ordinary lawful good players cannot communicate normally. This adds to the mystery of the hostile camp.

Without learning Spider-man language, Nie Yan couldn't understand anything, so he could only remain silent. As soon as he opened his mouth, he would be discovered.

The light cluster was still surrounding Nie Yan, and elite Spider-men had appeared nearby. Nie Yan was afraid of being discovered, and clenched the random teleport scroll in his hand. If something went wrong, he would teleport away immediately.

These Spider-men brushed past Nie Yan, and Nie Yan suddenly realized that these Spider-men could not see this light cluster.

The faint fluorescence was like an elf, dancing around Nie Yan.

It should be Bennett's spirit. Nie Yan thought for a while, does this light cluster contain some of Bennett's memories? Could he see some clues with a soul potion?

After thinking about it, he decided to wait until he got out first.

Nie Yan walked into the Spider-man village. Some Spider-men in the Spider-man village were talking to each other. These ugly-looking creatures looked very terrifying in the dark.

It was like entering a ghost village.

Nie Yan was silent. After some Spider-men saw Nie Yan, they babbled some obscure and difficult to understand words. He couldn't understand them, so he could only remain silent.

Shuttling through the muddy roads in the middle of the village, brushing past Spider-men one by one, there was a relatively magnificent building in front, which was a three-story building, with a staircase connecting the second floor.

This building looked a bit old, but it was the most conspicuous building Nie Yan had seen so far.

Seeing this building, Nie Yan confirmed that there must be some important information inside this building.

Nie Yan thought for a while, walked in, searched carefully, climbed up the stairs, and when he reached the second floor, he still didn't find anything. There was also a wooden staircase in the center of the second floor. He climbed up the stairs, secretly looked around the third floor, and found two Spider-men wearing iron armor. In the corner of the wall not far away, there was an Amethyst-grade treasure chest. He didn't know what material this chest was made of. It was engraved with mysterious runes and patterns.

The two Spider-men seemed to feel something, looked around, their eyes swept across the staircase, but found nothing, and returned to normal.

Nie Yan threw reconnaissance on the two Spider-men respectively.

Spider-man Elwich: Level 60 Elite, HP 12000.

Spider-man Israel: Level 60 Elite, HP 11700.

They were two elites. Nie Yan frowned. It was really a bit difficult for Nie Yan to take down two elites at once, and the movement couldn't be too big. It would be troublesome if all the other Spider-men were attracted.
