Chapter 517 - Another Sub Legendary-grade Chest!

As for how to kill the Flame Giant, Nie Yan already had a method in mind. He would go with his original plan.

“Follow me,” Nie Yan said, leading Xie Yao deeper into the cave. After a while, they arrived at a deep, narrow tunnel.

This tunnel could only fit two people side-by-side at most. Even turning around was cumbersome.

It was impossible for large monsters like the Flame Giant to fit inside.

After describing his plan to Xie Yao, Nie Yan said, “Wait here, I’ll go draw aggro.”

“Don’t Flame Giants have ranged magic? Can’t they attack us from inside the tunnel?” Xie Yao asked. Nie Yan’s plan didn’t seem feasible.

“You’re right. Flame Giants do have ranged magic. However, haven’t you noticed that this tunnel isn’t straight but winding? Their magic attacks won’t be able to hit us directly, so the damage will be greatly reduced. Even though we’ll be hit by the splash, as long you have more than 100 Fire Resistance, the damage will be negligible. That’s why I gave you so many Advanced Fire Resistance Potions,” Nie Yan explained. He was already clear on every aspect of his plan. Thanks to the curve in the tunnel, they could still hit the Flame Giants with magic going in a straight line at a distance of 30 meters. If they retreated back to a distance of 40 meters, the Flame Giant couldn’t attack them.

As long as Nie Yan and Xie Yao could tank the attacks, they could slowly whittle the Flame Giant to death. There were over 10 Flame Giant spawn points in the vicinity, more than enough for them to level up continuously.

Nie Yan already had everything planned out. Xie Yao had to admit that his words made a lot of sense as she suddenly came to an understanding.

“Then, I’ll wait for you to come back. Be careful,” Xie Yao said. She retreated into the tunnel.

Nie Yan smiled. He entered stealth and made his way over to the Flame Giant. As he drew closer, its silhouette gradually came into view. It was about 30 meters away. He raised his cavalry crossbow, took aim, and pulled the trigger.「Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!」Five bolts flew forward.

「Put! Put! Put!」All five bolts struck the Flame Giant.

The Flame Giant roared out in pain. It locked onto Nie Yan and charged toward him.

“Success!” Nie Yan quickly put away his cavalry crossbow, then turned tail and fled.

After a while, under Nie Yan’s lead, the Flame Giant was brought to the narrow tunnel.

With a whoosh sound, a ray of holy light flew out of the tunnel entrance and struck the Flame Giant, exploding on impact.

Xie Yao started attacking while Nie Yan ducked into the tunnel. She brandished her staff non-stop, firing off one spell after another. Her gear was much better than Tang Yao’s. After all, she already had three pieces of Legendary-grade equipment. The only thing she lacked was a fairy. She was superior to Tang Yao in terms of raw power but lost out in cast speed and mana regeneration. Like this, the two were roughly neck and neck in damage.

Xie Yao’s spells were each dealing more than 1,600 damage to the Flame Giant. This was quite considerable.

Nie Yan checked the Flame Giant’s health, roughly 1,200,000. Its health regeneration speed was also quite high. With Xie Yao’s damage output, killing it would take at least three hours.

“Keep attacking. Be vigilant. If the Flame Giant starts casting magic, quickly pull back and drink an Advanced Fire Resistance Potion,” Nie Yan said. He was closely watching every move of the Flame Giant.

The unending barrage of magic caused the Flame Giant to roar out in pain and thrash about ceaselessly. Its aggro shifted onto Xie Yao. However, due to the tunnel being too narrow, it had no way of squeezing inside. It stuck its thick arm into the tunnel and tried to grab Nie Yan and Xie Yao. However, they were out of its reach.

Nie Yan also took out his cavalry crossbow and started shooting at the Flame Giant. Although he didn’t hit nearly as hard as Xie Yao, every little bit of damage helped.

The Flame Giant attempted to widen the tunnel entrance. However, the best it could accomplish was breaking off a few rocks from the wall.

With a thunderous roar, the Flame Giant shook the entire tunnel.

None of the Flame Giant’s actions influenced Xie Yao. She was still firing out an endless barrage of spells.

As the spells struck the Flame Giant one after another, it finally became enraged. It opened its mouth and fired off a beam of flames into the tunnel.

“Pull back! Drink an Advanced Fire Resistance Potion!” Nie Yan anxiously called out as he swiftly retreated back.
