Chapter 811 - Extreme Vanish (1/2)

Just as Nie Yan was about to be dogpiled on by these Variant Lords, he activated Leap and soared over 20 meters into the air.

Numerous spells flew through the air, blotting out the sky.

The Druids immediately changed from their bear forms into large black eagles and took to the air.

Nie Yan was about to be inundated with spells.

What can I do…? Nie Yan despaired.

At this moment, Nie Yan’s eyes happened to fall on a pillar some 10 meters away. He shot a web line at it, and with a hard tug, he swung over.

Nie Yan activated Crawl to make his hands sticky. With a light pa sound, he firmly landed on the pillar. Whew! That was close. Nie Yan broke out into a cold sweat as he looked over his shoulder at the barrage of spells he’d evaded. Seeing several large black eagles swooping down on him, he crawled around to the other side of the pillar, then leaped off, flying more than several dozen meters.

The Variant Lords in the back immediately went into pursuit of Nie Yan and moved to surround him.

These bandits were extremely fast. Nie Yan was forced to use every speed boosting skill in his arsenal. He ran away from them for over half-an-hour before finally losing them.

Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He hid behind some scattered rubble. According to Twilight Chill and the others’ description, this area didn’t have many guards at first. Only after a few of them got discovered, did more appear. If it were only one or two Variant Lords, Nie Yan felt some confidence in handling them. On the other hand, against several hundred of them, even if he had three heads and six arms, it would still be useless.

The Variant Lords searched around. After failing to find any trace of Nie Yan, they finally scattered.

After passing through this section of the ruins, Nie Yan continued exploring deeper. There were crumbling walls and structures everywhere. Every so often, he would encounter some Level 180 Variant Lords. They were patrolling around all over the place.

These Variant Lords had extremely keen senses. Nie Yan had no choice but to hide and wait for them to leave before continuing forward. Sometimes, he simply sat in a corner for up to half-an-hour waiting.

Nie Yan wasted almost a whole day in the outer hall. Finally, he found himself outside the inner area of the temple. He could see several towering obelisks about 100 meters away. They stood over 60 meter high and required six grown men linking arms to fully wrap around their circumference.

The entrance to the inner area was a flight of ascending stairs leading to who knows where.

Nie Yan passed around a corner and gazed over at the entrance. It was guarded by 70 Level 180 Variant Lords. They were in groups of twos and threes and chatting with each other.

In order to avoid being discovered, Nie Yan immediately retreated back. He started counting, “...67, 68, 69,...73. Shit, 73 in total. This is going to be a pain in the behind…” With so many Variant Lords guarding this area, sneaking past them would be impossible. He would have to fight them.

Nie Yan felt a headache coming on. Just how was he going to get past these Variant Lords?

After going over all his options, Nie Yan’s gaze fell on a certain skill—Disguise!

This skill would definitely work, but he had to kill a Level 180 Variant Lord first!

Nie Yan would have no problem soloing a Level 180 Variant Lord, the problem lay in finding one that was alone.

Nie Yan wandered around the ruins in search of a lone Variant Lord. He could only rely on his luck. Even up until the servers shut down, he had none.

During the day, Nie Yan went to school with Xie Yao. In the early evening, the two ate dinner, after which they entered back into the game.

Nie Yan continued searching around the ruins, but he still couldn’t find a lone Variant Lord. They were always in at least pairs. However, he did make a pleasant discovery, a gray chest which was hidden behind some rubble in a secluded corner. It was covered in a thick layer of dust.

Even though it was well-hidden, it still couldn’t escape Nie Yan’s sharp eyes. He crouched down in front of the chest. Since it was covered in so much dirt and dust, he couldn’t even see what kind of chest it exactly was. As he reached out his hand and wiped the surface, its appearance was gradually revealed.

It was a dark green coloured chest of Sub Legendary rarity!

Nie Yan started opening the chest.

Opening chest… Progress: 35%... 67%...

With a click, the lid popped open.

Nie Yan stuck his arm inside and rummaged around before pulling out a black book.

It was a skill book!

Apart from this skill book, there was nothing else inside the chest.

Nie Yan checked the skill book.
