Money is not the problem. Only Nie Yan would dare to say that. For others, hearing the figure of 120 million gold coins would probably leave them stunned.
It was estimated that within two hours, the entire Light Faction would launch a full-scale attack. Crime City would become one of the battlegrounds. If Nie Yan and others could defeat Angel Empire in Crime City, it would greatly boost the morale of the Bull Player Tribe.
“Everyone, give your best. This is the decisive moment. Angel Empire has already prepared for a full-scale war. This instance mission allows only victory, no defeat!” Nie Yan said solemnly in the team chat.
“Boss Nie Yan, is Angel Empire really preparing for a full-scale war?”
“That’s right. Their force of 1.8 million has fully mobilized, heading toward Carol City and Abernethy Grassland. The upcoming aerial battle using flying mounts will be our first battle. If we win, we will no longer need to fear Angel Empire’s aerial power. If we lose, everyone can imagine the consequences.” Nie Yan looked at his teammates.
Once the aerial battle using flying mounts failed, it would be a devastating disaster for the Bull Player Tribe’s aerial forces.
Suddenly, a guttural roar was heard as a Mihm’s health was finally drained, and it collapsed to the ground.
With one Mihm eliminated, Nie Yan and others felt much relieved.
About five minutes later, the remaining two Mihms also fell one after another.
“Revive the fallen teammates.” Nie Yan glanced around. Five teammates had died in this battle, which had been extremely brutal.
Shi Li Hua Sha and Leader Brother Qi Zai began reviving their teammates using the resurrection skill.
Everyone took a brief rest at the spot.
“Did we get anything good?”
“A Wish Gem!” someone in the team chat exclaimed.
Nie Yan looked toward Xiao Rong Bu Shi Wei Wo, who was holding a gem the size of a pigeon egg. It was a regular oval shape, crystal clear, and occasionally shimmering with seven colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—looking extremely dazzling.
The Wish Gem was famous because of its immense usefulness, including repairing equipment, reviving pets, and more than six hundred other uses. It was rarely seen on the market and was undoubtedly a priceless treasure.
The specific uses of the Wish Gem were explained in detail on the official website.
In terms of drop rate, any monster could potentially drop a Wish Gem, with higher-level monsters having a higher probability. However, the item was extremely rare on the market. Firstly, the drop rate was extremely low—only one or two monsters out of countless would drop it. Additionally, due to its immense usefulness, few people would choose to sell it.
Nie Yan collected the Wish Gem. Besides that, the Mihm also dropped a warrior skill book, Rage Slash. It was a very advanced skill. If used well and hitting the chest, it could even send boss-level creatures flying.
After discussing, the team decided for Shui Se Yan Tou to learn this skill.
They only rested briefly, and many people hadn’t even fully restored their health and mana when Brost the Fallen Angel descended from the steps in front of the temple, roaring furiously, causing the entire temple to tremble.
Seeing Brost the Fallen Angel’s movement, Cui Can Dao Guang’s expression changed: “Nie Yan, something is wrong. According to logic, he should summon another wave before coming down from the throne.”
As Brost the Fallen Angel approached, Nie Yan had no time to think further and urgently ordered, “Whatever comes, we meet it head-on. No matter what, form the team formation!”
Hearing Nie Yan’s words, everyone stood up. Cui Can Dao Guang, Shui Se Yan Tou, Lei Su, and other warriors lined up in a row like a wall, blocking in front of the casters, while the rogues stealthily moved around, waiting for the warriors to draw aggro before attacking Brost the Fallen Angel from behind.
Brost the Fallen Angel descended from the throne, scanning Nie Yan and others, and coldly laughed: “Karenna, and you insignificant ants, you have enraged me. I will personally send you all to hell.”
As Brost the Fallen Angel finished speaking, his right hand moved, unleashing a long stream of magical electricity. Beside him, a dragon-like creature suddenly appeared out of thin air. Its size was similar to that of a Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon, also a level 200 mutated lord!
Its health was unknown, completely unreadable.
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically. Brost the Fallen Angel alone was already tough enough, but now with the addition of a Thunder Dragon, the difficulty had increased more than twofold!
“Nie Yan, there’s no way we can win. We should retreat,” Cui Can Dao Guang said. It wasn’t that he was afraid of battle, but the power disparity was too great. Continuing the fight would only result in a certain wipe.
Nie Yan frowned, then decisively ordered, “Retreat!”
The Thunder Dragon and Brost the Fallen Angel advanced from both sides.
The entire team had no will to fight anymore and began retreating.
Nie Yan thought, “It seems several people will definitely die. We can only try to save as many as possible.”
Just as everyone was despairingly preparing to withdraw, Karenna the Guardian Angel suddenly began chanting loudly. Her entire body emitted a holy and dazzling glow, and a powerful holy aura surged toward the team, instantly boosting their spirits.
“Suoghusde, great god of light, use your holy power to purify these evil lives… Wherever light reaches, darkness dissolves…”
Karenna the Guardian Angel floated in the air. Although her body was small, she still gave people an untouchable feeling.
Although Nie Yan didn’t know exactly what magic Karenna the Guardian Angel was using, he was certain it was at least a forbidden spell.
“Stop retreating. Dao Guang, you tank the Thunder Dragon. Leng Ao Ying, you tank Brost the Fallen Angel! Don’t let them get close to Karenna!” Nie Yan urgently ordered. Karenna was floating in the air, completely motionless. If the Thunder Dragon and Brost the Fallen Angel rushed over, the forbidden spell would definitely be interrupted.
Cui Can Dao Guang and others also saw that Karenna the Guardian Angel was chanting a forbidden spell, and their confidence reignited.
Karenna the Guardian Angel didn’t chant for long. In just a moment, powerful holy forces descended upon Nie Yan and others. Everyone’s attributes tripled, and they were all granted shields along with twelve beneficial statuses.
“Wow, my attributes are tripled!”
“So awesome!”
Everyone’s confidence in defeating the Thunder Dragon and Brost the Fallen Angel surged.
“A bunch of ignorant humans, even Karenna’s divine state cannot save you. You are too weak!” Brost the Fallen Angel stepped forward. His heavy footsteps caused the temple to violently shake, as if it were about to collapse.
The giant Thunder Dragon, covered in lightning, charged forward with claws and fangs bared.
Cui Can Dao Guang activated his War God Protection and rushed forward.
On the other side, Leng Ao Ying also engaged Brost the Fallen Angel.
“Pull them apart to both sides! Dao Guang, move left!” Nie Yan nervously commanded. If the Thunder Dragon and Brost the Fallen Angel were kept together, the situation would be difficult to control. Therefore, they needed to separate them.
Under Cui Can Dao Guang’s provocation, the Thunder Dragon gradually moved away.
“Let Dao Guang lead the Thunder Dragon away. We will focus on Brost the Fallen Angel!” Nie Yan shouted in the team chat.
“Your Grace, the Holy Shadow Dancer, we must kill the Thunder Dragon first. Otherwise, Brost can use sacrifice to gain infinite life from it,” Karenna the Guardian Angel said beside him.
Nie Yan, who had just issued orders, hesitated, then changed his command: “Focus on the Thunder Dragon first. Brost the Fallen Angel will be handled by me, Leng Ao Ying, and Qi Zai!”
Brost the Fallen Angel swung his great sword at Leng Ao Ying, each strike draining nearly 70,000 health points. Fortunately, their attributes had tripled, and Leng Ao Ying’s health was now up to 170,000. Previously, he would have been instantly killed.
On the other side, Cui Can Dao Guang and others surrounded the Thunder Dragon, engaging in fierce combat with dazzling spells flying everywhere.
With more than an hour left until the aerial battle, Ang Yi Tian Shi returned to Crime City, feeling an inexplicable anxiety. Kuang Zei Nie Yan had not appeared yet, as if he had vanished into thin air. Meanwhile, Angel Empire’s flying forces were already nearing the surface.
“Still haven’t located Kuang Zei Nie Yan?” Ang Yi Tian Shi frowned and asked.
“Yes, but there’s breaking news. Someone has already entered the instance where Brost the Fallen Angel resides,” Lie Yan said. Their scouts had revisited the instance and found it already occupied.
Ang Yi Tian Shi was startled. Could Kuang Zei Nie Yan really have entered? He didn’t believe the Bull Player Tribe could defeat Brost the Fallen Angel. Brost was far more powerful than anyone imagined, especially when his health dropped below 30%, where his skills became terrifying.
“How long have they been inside?”
“About half an hour.”
“They won’t last much longer. Keep a close watch on the situation and report immediately upon any developments. Also, send a shadow priest to monitor the graveyard with Soul Vision!” Ang Yi Tian Shi ordered solemnly. Once Nie Yan and others entered the instance, their people couldn’t go in. However, using Soul Vision to monitor the graveyard would allow them to know how many Bull Player Tribe members had died and track their instance progress.
“Boss Angel, what if they obtain the Dragon King Fruit?” Lie Yan asked, his scalp tingling at the thought of possibly facing a level 9 Dark Winged Dragon.
Hearing Lie Yan’s words, Ang Yi Tian Shi’s heart sank. Brost the Fallen Angel was indeed formidable, but that person was Kuang Zei Nie Yan—an unpredictable individual.
After giving his orders, a shadow priest from Angel Empire immediately set off.
Ang Yi Tian Shi also felt somewhat uneasy. The Dragon King Fruit was a life-threatening item! He could only feel at ease once he confirmed that the Bull Player Tribe had not successfully obtained the Dragon King Fruit!
