The necklace is called the Memphis Psychedelic Necklace and is a special item.
Memphis Psychedelic Necklace: Special Item. Increases resistance to mind magic by 220. Comes with the skill “Clarity of Mind,” which grants immunity to mind magic for five minutes upon activation. Skill cooldown is one natural day.
Nie Yan recalled his own mind magic resistance skill. Compared to the Clarity of Mind skill on this necklace, his was somewhat inferior. However, his skill was sufficient for his needs and had a shorter cooldown, whereas a cooldown of one entire day was simply too long and not very practical.
Seeing the necklace, Xie Yao gasped softly.
“What’s wrong?” Nie Yan asked, puzzled as he looked at Xie Yao.
“I think I now have a way to complete the final task.”
“Because of this necklace?” Nie Yan quickly realized that this necklace might play an indispensable role in the task.
“Yes,” Xie Yao nodded. “With the Clarity of Mind skill, I won’t have to fear the mental attacks from that fat spider anymore.”
“Fat spider?” Nie Yan couldn’t help but smile at Xie Yao’s choice of words. It seemed that the system had intentionally placed this treasure chest within the task. If Nie Yan hadn’t gone into the water and opened the chest earlier, the task might have been impossible to complete.
Now that Xie Yao had a way to deal with the final spider, Nie Yan felt relieved. He had been worried about this task related to the high-level set. If he intervened recklessly, he might either help Xie Yao obtain the final set component, or worse, interrupt the task or cause even more serious consequences. If Xie Yao truly couldn’t complete it, Nie Yan would have to step in and take his chances. But since Xie Yao now had a way to finish the task, it was better to let her handle it herself.
Nie Yan handed the necklace to Xie Yao and asked, “Are you sure you can complete it now?”
“Yes,” Xie Yao nodded. She had failed three times previously, and two of those attempts had nearly succeeded. Now she realized what she had been missing was this very necklace!
“Then you go ahead,” Nie Yan smiled and said, glancing at the gem in his hand.
Stone of the Demon Realm: Special Item.
Item Description: It originates from the distant Demon Realm, the source of all dark power. Three Demon Realm Stones were once stolen by demons but they were hunted down and killed by the Demon Realm Guardians. Since then, the three Demon Realm Stones have been lost in the human world, each containing immense dark power.
Possible Uses: If directly consumed by dark-aligned creatures, it may cause a sudden surge in power, a transformation of innate abilities, or even direct evolution. However, there may also be side effects.
After reading the item description, Nie Yan frowned slightly. This was the first time he had encountered an item with such uncertain effects—it could either be beneficial or harmful. The first part of the description gave him some hope: a power surge, innate transformation, or direct evolution—any of these would be extremely tempting. He happened to have two dark-aligned dragon mounts in his pet space. However, the last sentence gave him pause. If there were side effects, he could potentially ruin one of his powerful dragon mounts.
After thinking it over, he decided to put the Stone of the Demon Realm away for now and deal with it later.
More than ten minutes later, Nie Yan and Xie Yao reached the shore for the third time. They jumped off the boat.
The Lost Ferryman lingered by the shore for a while before rowing away, slowly disappearing into the mist.
Nie Yan looked into the distance. Not far away, on the open plain, stood countless broken and scattered gravestones. The graveyard was covered in thick webs, and a giant spider lurked within.
“You’ll need at least three hours to defeat that fat spider, Nie Yan. You should head back first; teleportation is already possible here,” Xie Yao said to Nie Yan.
“Are you sure you can do it? How confident are you?” Nie Yan asked, still somewhat worried.
“I’m sure,” Xie Yao nodded.
Nie Yan thought for a moment. He had great confidence in Xie Yao’s abilities. If she was certain she could defeat the spider and obtain the final set component, there was no need for him to stay. Otherwise, it would just be a waste of time. If she still couldn’t complete the task this time, he could always come back later.
“I’ll leave a bit later. You go ahead,” Nie Yan waved her off.
“Okay,” Xie Yao walked toward the graveyard and began her initial preparations. Once she entered, she immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Xie Yao’s figure flickered rapidly, her white robes darting through the battlefield as streams of magic flew from her hands. The spider turned its attention to her and began counterattacking. The two sides engaged in an intense firefight. Despite the heavy assault, Xie Yao remained composed and handled herself well.
I’ll let Xie Yao try one more time, Nie Yan thought to himself. He used a Return Scroll, and in a flash of white light, he vanished from the spot.
Nie Yan returned to Akeron City, replenished his consumables, and checked the current battle status. The catapult units of Angel Dominion had been ambushed by Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Blade) and others on their way from the Sather Empire to Abernathy Grasslands, losing over thirty Ironclad Catapults and Ballistic Catapults. The war effort had been delayed, and their forces had to halt for rest and recovery.
Nie Yan smiled slightly. Blade and the others had done well. The war had dragged on, and Angel Dominion had barely gained any advantage. The Bullman Tribe was no longer the small guild that could be bullied at will. Now, in every aspect, the Bullman Tribe was no worse than Angel Dominion. As for Century Financial Group, they were tightly engaged by other guilds such as the Holy Roman Empire, with Angel’s Fall watching nearby, ready to strike. They had no chance to act freely.
The Bullman Tribe’s aerial reconnaissance forces were already in place. If they spotted any aerial mounts belonging to Angel Dominion, they would immediately report their positions to Nie Yan.
Knowing that Nie Yan was closely monitoring the Phoenix of Flames, Winged Angel dared not deploy it lightly. He didn’t know whether Nie Yan had any way to counter the Phoenix of Flames, but after being rivals for so long, he understood Nie Yan’s nature—Nie Yan would never let the Phoenix of Flames escape easily. With the Darkwing Dragon still alive and the Bullman Tribe gaining another level-eight Phoenix, if both level-eight pets worked together to launch a surprise attack, he wasn’t sure whether the Phoenix of Flames could withstand it.
Although the Phoenix of Flames remained inactive, the aerial forces of both sides continued to clash fiercely, with both sides suffering losses.
Winged Angel intensified the exploration of the Phoenix Nest, hoping to obtain more high-level aerial mounts to counter the Bullman Tribe’s air power. At the same time, he also accelerated the exploration of the World Barrier. On their side, they were also preparing for a protracted war.
With the Phoenix of Flames remaining inactive, Nie Yan felt slightly relieved. The Bullman Tribe also began large-scale exploration of the Phoenix Nest and the World Barrier. In terms of exploring high-level maps, they absolutely could not fall behind Angel Dominion.
Nie Yan’s equipment had already reached the peak. For a long time, no player would be able to rival him. He now set his sights on his pets. He still had two pet slots available!
Although the Gold Earth Dragon’s level had not been upgraded in time, its strength still remained impressive, especially in large-scale battles. If used effectively, its combat power would be extraordinary.
If Nie Yan could collect two more dragon pets and raise their levels, he could imagine how magnificent the scene would be.
During a battle or a PK, when Winged Angel suddenly noticed Nie Yan summoning three powerful dragon pets, what kind of expression would appear on his face?
One of the dragon eggs was located in the Fate River Valley of Karol City, and Nie Yan roughly knew the general area, although he didn’t know the exact location. He would need to go there to search for it.
However, Nie Yan didn’t need to personally handle everything.
At that moment, more than a hundred thieves currently leveling up in places like Abernathy Grasslands, Karol City, and Nisod City suddenly received an order simultaneously: search the Fate River Valley of Karol City! Each of them immediately took out Return Scrolls, returned to the city to replenish their consumables, and then rushed to the Fate River Valley without delay.
Nie Yan had provided the general coordinates. These thieves’ target was a dragon nest on a cliff. As long as they found the dragon nest, the task of obtaining the dragon egg would still need to be handled by Nie Yan himself. Because after obtaining the egg, one would have to face pursuit from several dragons until the egg hatched, which ordinary players would be unable to handle.
Upon receiving Nie Yan’s command, none of them dared to delay and immediately began a thorough search of the Fate River Valley.
Nie Yan thought that news would come soon from that area, so he decided to find a place to level up first and then take action once he received news.
About three hours later, Nie Yan received a message from Xie Yao. She had already obtained the final component and completed the set. Compared to the Abak Set, Xie Yao’s Goddess Set was indeed somewhat inferior, belonging to a different tier. However, it was still a set of top-tier equipment. There were very few legendary sets in the entire server that could rival it. The set bonuses of the Goddess Set significantly enhanced Xie Yao’s attributes and granted her two powerful Holy Light skills, one of which was a forbidden spell.
After going through so much trouble, she finally completed the set. Xie Yao was very happy and shared the set’s attributes with Nie Yan.
Nie Yan glanced through the attributes, his eyes overwhelmed by the sheer number of them. Many were exclusive to Holy Mages, such as Holy Power bonuses, etc. Only someone who played a Holy Mage could truly understand the complexity of these attributes. Nie Yan particularly noticed the forbidden spell attached to the set—Radiant Light—which would unleash thousands of Holy Blasts within a radius of several thousand yards. Nie Yan had already experienced the immense power of a Holy Blast. He couldn’t imagine what kind of scene would unfold if thousands of Holy Blasts exploded simultaneously.
