After ruining more than a dozen Red Dragon Grasses, Nie Yan finally managed to dig one up successfully, processed its roots a little, and put it into his bag.
System: You have gathered a Red Dragon Grass, gaining 32 skill proficiency points.
Since Red Dragon Grass was very precious and of a high level, Nie Yan was gathering it beyond his level, so the skill proficiency he gained from successfully gathering one was very high.
Simply gathering Red Dragon Grass could rapidly increase his Gathering skill proficiency.
With the first Red Dragon Grass in hand, Nie Yan continued his search. Aside from Red Dragon Grass, there were many other kinds of high-level herbs here. Once his Gathering skill was raised to Advanced, he could gather all these good things all over the place.
While gathering various high-level herbs and hunting Rank 2 creatures, the joy of the harvest diluted the tedium of leveling and gathering, and the task progressed slowly, step by step.
The Holy Shadow Dancer class-change quest required much more time than Nie Yan had imagined. Soon, almost half a month had passed.
It looks like I'll be here for a long time. Nie Yan glanced at the players' levels. The highest level right now was only Level 90. It would take them a long time to catch up to him. It was even harder to level past Level 90. The experience required to level up was dozens of times more than before. So he didn't have to worry about anyone changing to Shadow Dancer before him for the time being. He still had plenty of time.
In the middle of the jungle in the distance, a tall werewolf appeared before Nie Yan. It was a Rank 2 Werewolf. They could walk upright like humans. Their upper body was no different from a wolf. Among the Rank 2 creatures, werewolves were the most difficult to deal with. They possessed very agile movements and were very powerful in combat. Nie Yan had encountered a werewolf before, and he had fled in a panic. After that, Nie Yan would usually choose to avoid werewolves, but this time, he suddenly felt a desire to compete with the werewolf.
Nie Yan slowly sneaked towards the back of the werewolf, completely restraining his aura.
The werewolf didn't notice Nie Yan and continued to wander aimlessly.
Nie Yan suddenly erupted, and with the Sword of Zennarde in his hand, he ferociously chopped down at the werewolf's spine behind it, a Spinal Sever.
Seeing that the Sword of Zennarde was about to hit the werewolf's spine, the werewolf suddenly felt something, and it moved its body to the side, dodging Nie Yan's attack. It let out a low roar and pounced on Nie Yan, revealing its sharp claws.
Its steel claws were like scimitars, incomparably sharp.
What fast reaction speed! Seeing the werewolf's sharp claws sweeping over, Nie Yan retreated backwards, dodging its attack.
The werewolf's speed was faster than he had imagined, and it fiercely pounced at Nie Yan, its attacks were exceptionally sharp, so fast that it was impossible to dodge. With a *puff*, the werewolf's claws slashed across his chest, and blood splattered out.
A damage value of more than 3,000 floated above Nie Yan's head.
This won't do. Sooner or later, I'll be worn down by the werewolf!
Nie Yan was forced into a very sorry state. He was hit twice in a row, and his health was only about 30% left. He drank a bottle of Advanced Instant Recovery Potion, and his health immediately returned to full.
Looking at the werewolf's footsteps when it attacked, which were so fast that only afterimages remained, Nie Yan was lost in thought. He couldn't help but learn the werewolf's footsteps. Nie Yan, who originally couldn't keep up with the speed, slowly became more calm and comfortable.
The werewolf roared and pounced.
Seeing that it was about to pounce in front of him, and the bright claws were already close at hand, Nie Yan suddenly had a strange idea, regarding this place as a fighting arena, and regarding the werewolf as his opponent. He almost instinctively leaned to the side, making a very difficult movement, supporting himself with his left hand, as his body leaned forward, the center of gravity shifted forward, and all the strength of his body surged towards his right foot. Hit! Nie Yan let out a low shout, and with a *peng* sound, his right foot kicked the werewolf's neck.
With a *ge beng* sound, Nie Yan heard the sound of the werewolf's neck being broken.
This was a horrifying and majestic power, full of destructiveness.
The werewolf was suddenly hit hard, and it miserably whimpered, spitting out a mouthful of blood. It was kicked five or six yards away by Nie Yan's foot and fell heavily to the ground.
A big critical hit damage floated above the werewolf's head, -7300.
The werewolf was directly killed, lying on the ground and never getting up again.
The werewolf's agility was very strong, but its attack and defense were not very good. Under his attack, it was simply too fragile to withstand a single blow.
He didn't expect that this kick's attack would be so fierce. The powerful force of this strike shocked him. It turned out that this kind of fantastic move could have such power. What he used just now was real fighting skill! These real-life fighting skills were perfectly displayed by Nie Yan, full of lethality like skills.
Nie Yan increasingly felt the magic of the Shadow Dancer. What he had mastered now was only the superficial aspect of the Shadow Dancer, but just glimpsing the tip of the iceberg had already made him feel very shocked.
The exploration of the Shadow Dancer has only just begun.
Nie Yan dug out the werewolf's crystal core. The werewolf's corpse slowly melted and disappeared, being purified. He suddenly felt the Sword of Zennarde in his hand vibrate violently, and clusters of black flames rose up, full of scorching heat.
He could feel a strong force surging from the Sword of Zennarde. He looked at the attributes of the Sword of Zennarde and found that another layer of the Sword of Zennarde's seal had been unlocked.
Sealed Sword of Zennarde: Sacred object of Kalandor.
Item Description: A sacred object created by the Dragon King Zennarde ordering the God of Creation of Kalandor, infused with Zennarde's dark magic. When you do not control its power, you will be subject to the backlash of the Sword of Zennarde. The sword was sealed by the War God Kros with six layers of holy seal. Seal 46.
Item Attributes: Attack 1530-1823, Crit +150, 30% chance to trigger 6x critical damage, Ignore Level +25, Ignore Armor. Attached skill, Purgatory Slaughter, when the enemy's health is below 20%, using this skill has a certain chance to kill the opponent, the success rate is related to the levels and defenses of both sides. Skill cooldown time 3 seconds, requires 50 points of energy. Attached skill, Advanced Cataclysm, attacking an enemy inflicts five curses of Level 8 Weakness, Level 8 Cripple, Level 8 Plague, Level 8 Fear, and Level 8 Corrosion, lasting for 10 minutes, skill cooldown time one hour.
Attached: Undead Nightmare Curse, the holder of the Sword of Zennarde will be subjected to the Undead Nightmare Curse, all attributes reduced by 20% (suppressed, effect halved).
Usage Restriction: None.
Another seal of the Sword of Zennarde had been unlocked, and its attributes had been greatly improved. It currently had the attributes of a Level 120 Legendary weapon. It was ridiculously strong. Especially Advanced Cataclysm, with Level 8 curses. Even a Lord above Level 100 would have a hard time if it was afflicted with five Level 8 curses.
The black flames on the Sword of Zennarde burned fiercely, dragging a long trail of fire when it was swung, emitting scorching energy.
Nie Yan felt a little surprised by the upgrade of the Sword of Zennarde. He remembered that it would take a long time to unlock the next seal. He didn't expect it to be so fast. It might be because the level of creatures like werewolves was relatively high, so the speed at which the Sword of Zennarde was unsealed was much faster than before.
The Sword of Zennarde's attack was already more than 1,500, far exceeding ordinary Level 100 daggers and short swords. Nie Yan was even more looking forward to the future attributes of the Sword of Zennarde. It had only unlocked two seals, and it was already so powerful. If all six seals were unlocked, how amazing would it be!
Near dusk, Nie Yan looked at the progress of the quest. The progress of the Holy Shadow Dancer class-change quest 2 was almost 55% complete, which was considered quite fast.
Another day ended. Nie Yan came out of the game pod and took a breath. It was also a very tiring job to constantly grind monsters and gather in the Ancient World every day.
Nie Yan and Xie Yao, as usual, washed up, ate breakfast, and then took the bus to school.
Most of the people in the First Military Academy knew that Xie Yao was Nie Yan's girlfriend. They walked together every time they went to school and left school. Many boys couldn't help but feel jealous of Nie Yan, because Xie Yao was the perfect lover in the hearts of many people. Unfortunately, she already had an owner, which made them very frustrated.
When Nie Yan walked into the command department classroom, he heard everyone talking enthusiastically about something.
"What are they talking about?" Nie Yan looked at Xia Tianyu, Fei Zhe, and the others and asked.
"They're talking about dungeons. Zhao Shiyu's trash team hasn't even cleared the Mysterious Cave yet, and they still have the nerve to show off," Xia Tianyu said with some disdain.
Nie Yan smiled. The command department's team had only been established for more than half a month, and they had already reached the Mysterious Cave, which was considered very fast. However, for Nie Yan and even the elites of the Niu Ren Tribe, this speed was nothing at all.
"Nie Yan, I just got a Level 85 Glorious Battle Armor. Its attributes are awesome, with more than 800 defense," Xu Yan said with a slightly smug look.
"Damn, you're really lucky, kid. You've already gotten Level 85 equipment," Fei Zhe said with an envious look. Xu Yan was only Level 81 now, but he had gotten a Level 85 battle armor with such good attributes, which would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
"Where did you get it?" Xia Tianyu was also a little envious. He was already Level 86, but he only had one Level 85 equipment, and the rest were all Level 80 equipment. He felt a little ashamed.
"When I was running a dungeon with a team, we killed a Colossal Beast, and this battle armor dropped. The main warrior had better equipment and didn't want the Glorious Battle Armor, so it fell into my hands," Xu Yan said with a chuckle.
"What equipment does your main warrior use? He doesn't even want the Glorious Battle Armor?" Fei Zhe asked in surprise.
"He's Level 83 now and wears a full set of Radiant Set with reduced level requirements."
"Damn, a full set of Radiant Set with reduced level requirements, what kind of warrior is that." Xia Tianyu and Fei Zhe both rolled their eyes. They knew that the main warrior Xu Yan was talking about wasn't even ranked in the second-tier of the Niu Ren Tribe.
