This robber legion was like a mystery; it was said that they possessed astonishing treasures. The places they appeared in often attracted many guild teams, triggering large-scale battles. Dozens of guilds continuously fought over several lords, while many individual players waited for opportunities to take advantage of the chaos. The scenes were often spectacular.
However, in his previous life, the appearance of one or two mutated lords in a location was already considered incredible. Here, however, mutated lords were everywhere, which was indeed rare. If Nie Yan decided to mobilize the entire guild to eliminate the Temple of the Goddess of Life, the losses would likely be significant. To minimize large-scale casualties, Nie Yan decided to take action alone.
The reason the Dead Man’s Kiss Robber Legion was not well-known in his previous life was because the players’ levels were not high enough. Once their levels reached a certain threshold, they would naturally have more encounters with the Dead Man’s Kiss Robber Legion.
Within a radius of about a hundred yards, there were at least fifty to sixty mutated lords. If even one of them was disturbed, they would launch a collective attack.
The closest to Nie Yan was a tall giant warrior. His body was over three yards tall, holding a massive spiked club. His muscular build resembled an iron tower. Every step he took caused the ground to tremble and groan.
This giant warrior gradually approached the area where Nie Yan was hiding, looking around while patrolling. Once he spotted any hostile creatures, he would smash them into pieces with his club.
Watching the giant warrior approaching, Nie Yan quickly checked the nearby terrain when the distance was about twenty yards, then ten yards. There was a pile of rubble over five yards high nearby. Nie Yan climbed over it and hid behind, activating his concealment ability.
The giant warrior reached the front of the rubble pile, standing about six or seven yards away from Nie Yan. After scanning the area for a moment, he looked directly at Nie Yan’s hiding spot.
Nie Yan immediately held his breath.
The giant warrior found nothing and turned around, heading back the way he came.
As the giant warrior moved further away, Nie Yan felt safe and quickly planned his route. He needed to pass through the defensive line formed by these mutated lords. They were scattered irregularly, generally no more than ten yards apart. Sneaking past them without being noticed was an extremely difficult task.
Glancing at his skill bar, Nie Yan decided to give it a try. He used his “Become a Midget” skill, shrinking his body to about one-third of its original size. Then he applied a series of skills to enhance his hidden state, using every available skill. Nie Yan had reached his peak state.
He started moving forward slowly, step by step.
Ahead and to the right were several human and orc warriors chatting together. Eleven yards to the left front was a human dark priest, looking around. Fortunately, he didn’t spot Nie Yan. Otherwise, with a simple illumination spell or mark, Nie Yan would face attacks from all the mutated lords. Besides the priest, several orc druids and shamans were also very annoying, as they could also detect invisibility.
To avoid alerting these mutated lords, Nie Yan moved step by step very cautiously, maintaining a certain distance from them.
Passing by more than thirty mutated lords, Nie Yan continued forward and found another twenty or so ahead. In the distance, groups of mutated lords were clustered together, scattered everywhere.
Hundreds of mutated lords, along with numerous magic users, if the entire Bullman Tribe guild came here and a large-scale battle broke out, Nie Yan could hardly imagine what the situation would be like.
Just as Nie Yan was preparing to move forward, two human mages and an elven rogue approached from this direction.
Damn! In such a small space, with mutated lords all around, Nie Yan had nowhere to hide.
Scanning the surroundings, Nie Yan noticed some randomly piled-up debris nearby and immediately hid behind it.
The two human mages were getting closer.
Nie Yan held his breath, slowing his heartbeat as much as possible.
Ten yards, eight yards, six yards…
When the two human mages passed by Nie Yan, they glanced around and brushed past at a distance of about five yards, not noticing Nie Yan’s presence.
Perfect! A slight smile appeared on Nie Yan’s lips. Dodging the two mages, the elven rogue was even farther away, so there was no problem. He relaxed a bit, thinking he had narrowly escaped danger. Just as he began to ease his mind, a deep beast’s roar came from behind.
It was very close, estimated to be only about five or six yards away. Nie Yan’s heart jumped. He quickly turned his head and saw a giant bear. Its entire body was covered with thick brown fur, and its flesh was so thick it resembled a tank armored in iron. Its eyes were like copper bells, glaring at Nie Yan.
This bear was transformed by a druid! Shit, he had been discovered! Nie Yan instantly realized the problem and immediately started running outward.
Roar! The giant bear let out a deep roar and charged toward Nie Yan.
This roar caused all the mutated lords nearby to become chaotic. They immediately began to surround Nie Yan from the direction he was fleeing.
All around were mutated lords, numbering more than fifty. The closest ones were only three or four yards away.
Frost Rain!
Chaos Hail!
One spell after another covered Nie Yan’s location. All the melee units had basically blocked his escape route.
Nie Yan’s right hand moved, and he now held a random teleport scroll. Just as he was about to use it, a system prompt suddenly appeared.
System: Random teleport scroll usage failed. In a soul-locked state, random teleport scrolls cannot be used.
Instinctively, Nie Yan looked toward the front-right, where a somewhat fat shaman wearing red robes had just finished chanting his spell and had just lowered his raised staff.
These mutated lords possessed very high combat intelligence. Their understanding of skills was no worse than that of players. In fact, they could even use skills more skillfully than many top players, because the brain’s computing power was obviously much stronger than that of players.
The random teleport scroll was unusable, and the escape route was completely blocked. This time, things were getting serious. Seeing the sheets of ice rain falling, Nie Yan took a Shadow Step and flew outward. Boom! Boom! Boom! Cracks of ice bloomed on the ground behind him. He could even feel the chill piercing through his body.
At this moment, two druids transformed into bear forms charged from both sides, using Charge, completely blocking Nie Yan’s escape route.
This time, it was over! Nie Yan couldn’t help feeling despair. Under the encirclement and pursuit of so many mutated lords, there was basically no chance of escape.
