Chapter 880: The Crazy Plan

A dozen minutes later, Nie Yan locked his gaze onto the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon that was foraging amidst the jungle.

The Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon entered the jungle, weaving its way through the dense foliage. Several lion-like creatures were disturbed and, panicking, scattered in all directions.

Undoubtedly, those lions were prey for the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon. Nie Yan glanced at them; there were seven in total. These lions were apex predators in the food chain, yet before the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon, they were like frightened rabbits, showing no resistance whatsoever.

The Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon quickly locked onto a few of the lions, uttering a segment of draconic language. Suddenly, several earth spikes erupted from the ground, impaling two lions. As the spikes receded, thick bolts of lightning fell from the sky, striking three lions and sending them crashing to the ground.

The Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon stepped on one lion corpse, tore off a piece of meat, and devoured it. Within this area, it was unquestionably the dominant presence, with no other creature posing a threat.

As if sensing something, the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon glanced toward the nearby jungle but found nothing. It continued feeding on the lion carcasses.

Nie Yan, hiding behind a tree, exhaled in relief. The dragon’s pupils were violet, like a pure crystal ball, as if capable of seeing through everything.

Seeing the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon focused on eating, Nie Yan activated stealth mode, carefully circling behind it and slowly approaching. Gradually, the distance between them closed to about ten yards.

Staring at the dragon’s tall back, Nie Yan held his breath.

The Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon seemed to sense something and exhaled a hot breath.

Just as the dragon was about to turn around, Nie Yan suddenly accelerated, launching a dash. His figure flashed like a phantom and split into two.

At the moment of attack, Nie Yan summoned his Shadow Assassin.

Letting out a roar, the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon opened its mouth, spewing a jet of flames toward Nie Yan.

Nie Yan and his Shadow Assassin simultaneously activated the Haste Step skill.

The Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon searched for Nie Yan’s position. When it spotted a figure dashing forward, it immediately used a spell. The ground beneath the figure rapidly cracked, destabilizing its footing. A massive stone pillar descended from the sky, crashing down with a loud boom, directly hitting the figure.

With a tremendous explosion, the figure vanished, as if it had never existed. A flicker of confusion passed through the dragon’s pupils. With its intelligence, it clearly couldn’t comprehend how the figure had disappeared after being seemingly hit.

The figure struck was merely the Shadow Assassin. At this moment, Nie Yan suddenly appeared behind the dragon, raising the Sword of Zaenarad, and plunged it viciously into the dragon’s back.

Only the Sword of Zaenarad could easily pierce through the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon’s armor!

With a plop, blood splattered.

Nie Yan pulled out the sword, watching blood spurt out. He quickly used an empty potion bottle to collect some.

Struck by Nie Yan, the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon roared in pain. Its shriek was sharp and piercing, like needles stabbing into one’s ears. As it tried to turn around, Nie Yan used a Random Teleport Scroll and vanished instantly.

The Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon, lacking spatial magic, could only watch helplessly as Nie Yan disappeared, roaring in frustration.

Nie Yan had no idea where the random teleport had taken him. He felt his mind go blank, his body running aimlessly and bumping into trees twice. After more than twenty seconds, his consciousness gradually returned, and his vision slowly cleared.

At the moment he used the Random Teleport Scroll, he had been struck by the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon’s mental magic. At that time, he hadn’t even managed to use a mental immunity. The attack speed of a level 200 mutated lord was indeed astonishing.

Three muscular savages were glaring at Nie Yan, all level 180 monsters.

Nie Yan quickly used a Greater Intimidation, and the savages cautiously watched him. After hesitating for a moment, they all fled.

Looking at the bottle in his right hand, he had successfully obtained the dragon’s blood!

Nie Yan informed Yinhuizhiye and others of his coordinates, and they immediately headed toward him.

“The dragon blood is secured. Send someone to deliver it to the headquarters of Starry Sky Pharmacy,” Nie Yan handed the bottle containing the dragon blood to Yinhuizhiye. The next step was to await the research results from Niaobushengdan and others.

“Alright, I’ll send someone right away,” Yinhuizhiye replied, dispatching a rogue to return to the city with a Recall Scroll, rushing nonstop to the headquarters of Starry Sky Pharmacy.

At least a week would be needed. During this time, Nie Yan could continue leveling up or take on other tasks.

“Nieyan Leader, even as you said, if the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon is affected by potions causing hallucinations or unconsciousness, it would likely only last a few minutes, possibly even just dozens of seconds. In such a short time, we can’t possibly defeat it. Once it awakens, we still won’t be able to handle it,” Yinhuizhiye expressed his doubts. Even with such potions, they still couldn’t handle the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon. So why go through all this trouble?

“Who said we need to defeat the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon?” Nie Yan smiled and asked.

“Not killing it? Then why make it unconscious?” Yinhuizhiye asked in confusion. Suddenly, he thought of something and exclaimed in shock, “Could it be that Nieyan Leader… you want to capture it?”

“Not too dumb,” Nie Yan chuckled.

Upon confirmation from Nie Yan, Yinhuizhiye was stunned. Nie Yan actually wanted to capture a level 200 mutated lord, the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon. Was he planning to make it his pet? The thought of having a level 200 mutated lord as a pet made Yinhuizhiye’s head spin. It seemed somewhat unrealistic.

“Nieyan Leader, are you sure you can make a level 200 mutated lord your pet?”

“Why not? Most monsters, as long as they aren’t highly intelligent beings, can be captured and tamed by beast tamers to become pets.”

“But the level gap between us is too large; we can’t establish a master-servant relationship!”

“Then we can keep them locked up and gradually tame them. Once we level up, we can claim them,” Nie Yan replied.

This seemed feasible. Although Yinhuizhiye still had doubts, he quickly dismissed them. This was a matter where he only needed to follow orders. In terms of experience, he was clearly no match for Nie Yan. He thought about how, in Faith, there were many people with skills surpassing Nie Yan’s, yet none had achieved as much as Nie Yan. The reasons were multifaceted, but one key factor might be that they lacked Nie Yan’s audacity. Nie Yan dared to think of anything and dared to do anything, his ideas as boundless as a galloping horse. In a world as limitless as Faith, this was also an unparalleled talent.

Previously, Nie Yan could only use ordinary items like the Ring of Crawlers, the Ring of Jumpers, and the Ring of Weavers, making one ingenious plan after another. Those items had helped Nie Yan defeat one powerful boss after another and overcome countless difficult scenarios, creating Nie Yan’s undefeated legend. Now, what he could use was no longer limited to these items. He had a team of unmatched alchemists, many skilled enchanters, blacksmiths, and various craftsmen, as well as the powerful support of the Bull Tribe, allowing him to do even more audacious things!

Nie Yan contacted Guo Huai via voice communication. “Help me gather all the Grandmaster-level alchemists, enchanters, and blacksmiths!”

“When do you need them?” Guo Huai asked. He didn’t know what Nie Yan was planning this time or why he was making such a big deal.

“As soon as possible.”

“Alright, I’ll handle it immediately.”

If Nie Yan could successfully summon a level 200 mutated lord, the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon, as a pet, regardless of who controlled it, it would undoubtedly be a strategic force in any war. Just like real-world warfare, besides conventional forces like players, there needed to be unconventional super-weapons to combine and win the war. Nie Yan’s collection of super-artifacts like the Spider Queen’s Summoning Talisman followed the same logic.

Whether it could succeed was unknown, but Nie Yan could already imagine the astonished expressions of their enemies if, suddenly, the Bull Tribe had several super-pets like the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon on the battlefield. A level 200 mutated lord, the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon, would be enough to instill fear and trembling in all their enemies.

Soon, the production departments of the Bull Tribe sprang into action. Numerous Grandmaster-level production players hurried to the Bull Tribe’s guild headquarters in Oak City, assembling in the designated conference hall. Though they were unaware of the reason Guo Huai had summoned them, they all sensed the gravity of the matter.

The special meeting hall was filled with people, a total of twenty-three Grandmasters. Among them were twelve alchemists, three enchanters, and eight machinists. Alchemists and machinists were relatively easier to train, so more had reached the Grandmaster level, while enchanters were rarer.

“I wonder what the Executive President wants with us?”

“Do you know, Ziyan?”

Ziyan shook her head. “I don’t know either.”

Everyone was discussing among themselves. Guo Huai hadn’t given any hints before summoning them, so they knew nothing.

Once Guo Huai had nearly gathered all the production players, Nie Yan had Yinhuizhiye and others continue monitoring the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon. He used a Directional Teleport and silently returned to the guild headquarters, heading toward the special meeting hall.

A figure appeared at the entrance of the special meeting hall, and everyone’s eyes slightly paused.

“It’s Nieyan Leader!”

“Nieyan Leader has arrived!”

Nie Yan’s arrival surprised them somewhat. The discussions ceased, and everyone sat up straight. Facing Nie Yan, they felt a certain amount of pressure, after all, he was their direct superior.

It turned out that the order to gather this group of production players had come from Nie Yan himself. They were curious about what Nie Yan wanted them for.
