Chapter 1 Nie Yan Enters the Sacred Mountain Range

Nie Yan entered the Sacred Mountain Range. According to the reports from his men, the Bone Dragon had flown towards the southwest of the Sacred Mountain Range.

Some thieves from the Niu Ren Tribe were tracking Qin Han. Several who got within five hundred yards of Qin Han were killed by the Necromancer Bodman. They dared not approach any closer and maintained a distance of at least a thousand yards.

Beyond a thousand yards, it was difficult to track Qin Han. They could only determine the general direction he was heading.

Nie Yan tracked him all the way, meeting up with the few thieves from the Niu Ren Tribe.

"Guild Leader Nie Yan," the thieves greeted him.

"Where did that Necromancer go?" Nie Yan looked into the distance. It was a vast expanse of white fog, and the path was difficult to find.

"We lost him when we got here, but the Bone Dragon is over there!" one of the thieves pointed towards a distant mountain.

Looking into the distance from a less foggy area, a black dot flashed across the distant mountain, disappearing on the other side.

"You can all go back," Nie Yan said to the thieves. The area ahead was full of monsters level 100 and above. These thieves hadn't reached level 100 yet and might encounter danger in the jungle. It was better to let them go back and level up.

"Alright, Guild Leader Nie Yan, be careful."

Seeing what Nie Yan said, the thieves said with concern. They understood that they couldn't be of much help. That Necromancer was too strong.

Nie Yan entered Stealth and swiftly darted through the jungle, passing through a muddy area. At this moment, the Holy Light Stone in his accessory slot emitted a bright white glow, warm and gentle.

Nie Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. There was an Abak Set component nearby!

He looked around. It was a jungle filled with white fog, making it impossible to see clearly. If he searched for the Abak Set component here, he wouldn't be able to continue tracking Qin Han.

Qin Han had abandoned the Skeleton Army and appeared here with the Necromancer Bodman. There must be something important!

After weighing the options, Nie Yan recorded the coordinates of this place. He could come back to search for the Abak Set component next time he had the chance.

Nie Yan activated his maximum speed and sped away.

More than ten minutes later, Nie Yan reached a hillside. He saw the huge Bone Dragon in the distance. It was so small it was almost invisible, circling in the distant sky for a moment before slowly descending and disappearing into the thick clouds in the mountains.

Nie Yan frowned. The Bone Dragon landed over there. What was it trying to do?

He had been to that area where the Bone Dragon landed in his past life, after the Undead Scourge. There were ruins of a temple there, said to have been destroyed when the Undead Scourge expansion pack was launched.

Thinking of this, Nie Yan raised his eyebrows. Qin Han's appearance here was no coincidence. He was definitely brewing a big conspiracy. Despite knowing that he might encounter danger, he decided to go.

Many level 120 and 130 monsters spawned in this jungle, many of them elites, and occasionally a Lord-class monster would appear. Players at the current level dared not come to such a place, so it was relatively secluded.

Nie Yan carefully avoided the monsters. Some monster corpses were lying on the ground, not yet refreshed by the server, proving that they had just been killed not long ago.

These monster corpses must have been left behind by Qin Han.

There were some traces of broken shrubs in the jungle. Following these traces, Nie Yan tracked for about half an hour before a towering temple appeared in his sight through the distant fog. The temple was several dozen yards high, covering a circular area of a thousand yards. It was magnificent and looked very grand.

Nie Yan was shocked that the temple in this dense forest was so magnificent.

In his previous life, when Nie Yan came here, it was already a ruin. Although it covered a large area, he could vaguely make out the outline of the temple. However, there was nothing on the ruins except for some wandering skeletons. Now, however, this temple exuded a powerful holy aura, and the outside of the temple was full of flowers, like a sacred place.

Nie Yan slowly approached the temple in Stealth. He saw a huge Bone Dragon standing on the top of the temple. Its huge bone claws were firmly gripping the eaves of the temple. It let out a heavy roar, and with every flap of its wings, the entire temple trembled, and pieces of rubble fell from above.

Nie Yan looked into the temple and saw several corpses lying at the entrance. They were wearing white priestly robes and were obviously priests of this temple. However, they had been killed by someone, and their bodies were left here. Nie Yan guessed that Qin Han and the Necromancer had probably entered the temple. He thought for a moment, stealthed inside, and slowly walked along the corridor of the temple.

The temple was full of corpses lying on the ground, which was shocking. The light aura on their bodies had been completely corroded, emitting a stench. Black pus flowed from their wounds. Nie Yan was secretly shocked. Had these been done by the Necromancer Bodman?

Nie Yan slowed down and carefully paid attention to hiding. He added several skills to himself that increased the effect of Stealth. Although he knew that these skills would have very limited effect in front of the Necromancer Bodman, there was definitely no harm in adding them. If he encountered the Necromancer Bodman in the corridor, Nie Yan estimated that he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Slowly passing through this corridor area, a hall appeared in front of him. Looking over there, there were vaguely several figures, and some voices were heard.

"Despicable demon, the God of Light will never forgive the sins you have committed. One day, you will be turned into dust in the void and fall into the silent abyss of darkness forever!"

This voice was deep and solemn. Then, there were a few sharp, strange laughs.

"A bunch of stupid believers, still so stubborn when death is upon you. Why doesn't your God of Light come to save you? Give me the things in your hands and become my servants. You will gain eternal life!"

Then there were a few more sentences of dialogue. Nie Yan showed a trace of confusion. What exactly was the Necromancer Bodman looking for? Just as he was thinking, a violent magical fluctuation came from the hall in the distance. Light and dark elements clashed fiercely. A force of dark corruption shot out from the hall and hit a stone pillar not far from Nie Yan. The stone pillar, which two people could barely hug, instantly shattered, and several boulders above collapsed.

Nie Yan used Gale Step to quickly move away a distance. With a bang, the place where he was standing was covered with rubble. Nie Yan's expression changed slightly. These NPCs were too powerful. Their power was simply not something Nie Yan could contend with. If he continued to get closer, it meant he would be taking a great risk to his life. But he was a little unwilling to leave just like that. After thinking for a moment, he activated the Climb skill, stuck to the stone wall, and moved towards the hall. He held a random teleport scroll in his hand. If things went wrong, he would use the random teleport scroll to run away quickly.

In the center of the hall, the battle had entered a fever pitch. The Necromancer Bodman waved his staff, and countless wailing ghosts surged towards the front of the hall, covering the sky and earth. There, three Holy Temple Priests wearing silver-gray priestly robes stood in a triangular formation, holding up a white barrier. The priest standing at the front was older, with a long beard and white hair, and a solemn face, shrouded in a glorious holy light. As for what the two people behind him looked like, it was already impossible to see clearly.

At this time, in a corner of the hall, Qin Han, wearing a black robe, hid his face under a hood, making it impossible to see his expression.

Nie Yan had already climbed to the top of the temple hall, firmly sticking to the wall, his eyes locked on everyone below.

The Necromancer Bodman and the three priests were fighting fiercely, and spells were exchanged with each other. They didn't notice Nie Yan's arrival.

The temple trembled violently in waves, as if the Bone Dragon wanted to overturn the entire temple. If the temple hadn't been blessed with powerful holy power, it might have been destroyed by the Bone Dragon long ago.

Stuck to the top of the hall, Nie Yan could feel cracks appearing on the wall, as if it was about to collapse.

If it collapsed, he would be the first to suffer!

If it were an ordinary person, they might have retreated, but Nie Yan had an almost crazy spirit of adventure. He bet that the priests would not be killed so easily, because he felt a powerful and pure holy power from those priests, somewhat similar to the holy power on Kals.

Those priests were also Legendary-class!

Nie Yan wanted to take advantage of the priests and the Necromancer Bodman fighting to fish in troubled waters and see if he could get some benefits.

The Necromancer Bodman was too powerful. He waved his staff, and countless ghosts hovered and danced outside the white barrier shield, colliding with the barrier. The barrier groaned in tremors, almost breaking.

"You foolish fellows, any resistance is useless. Surrender to the power of darkness, let it embrace you, and return to silence and death," the Necromancer Bodman laughed wildly. A torrent of dark magical elements formed, swirling around his body, blooming into black lotuses.

A powerful dark force swept over, and Nie Yan's mind was a little dazed. He felt the power in his body flowing away quickly, and he almost fell from the top of the hall. He was shocked. It was a mental control spell!

Mental Immunity!

Nie Yan immediately activated the Mental Immunity skill, and a big "miss" floated above his head.

At this time, countless ghosts surged towards the Holy Light barrier, colliding fiercely. With a bang, the Holy Light barrier shattered, and the ghosts surged like a tide towards the three priests in the center.

It's over!

Nie Yan frowned. If the three priests couldn't hold on, he would have to retreat quickly. The random teleport scroll was already in his hand.
