Chapter 1 Earning Millions

Making 12 million gold coins from a trip underground was unimaginable for other guilds. However, for Niuren Tribe, it wasn't that surprising. Nie Yan estimated this was the last big profit from cross-faction trading. With the opening of Doomsday Canyon, players would definitely use various methods to complete transactions, allowing goods to circulate between the two factions. They wouldn't be able to earn much money through the inter-faction trading model anymore.

However, the cooperation between Niuren Tribe and Fallen Angel had only just begun!

Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group would henceforth be in a state of being attacked from both sides.

Nie Yan had a call with Duo Duo, making some arrangements for the details of their cooperation. Niuren Tribe also sent out over ten thousand people, nearly three hundred thousand in total, into the territory of the Satrin Empire to harass Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group on a large scale, just to prevent Angel Corps from developing peacefully.

After dealing with all of this, Nie Yan said to Guo Huai, "Have Sun, Xie Yao, and the others come to Battler City."

Nie Yan still had to deal with the mutated wandering soul princess, Ai Na. His strength alone was far from enough.

"Ying Sha also just completed his top-tier class advancement, becoming a Shadow Hunter," Guo Huai said.

This was exciting news. From now on, Niuren Tribe would have six Shadow Dancers: Nie Yan, Sun, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, Xiao Rong Bu Shi Wei Wo, Yi Chui Ding Qing, and Ying Sha. Among them, Nie Yan, Xiao Rong Bu Shi Wei Wo, and Ying Sha had obtained special titles. The most powerful thieves were all in Niuren Tribe. However, Nie Yan was a bit conflicted because, due to his appearance, many things had gone awry. Titles like Holy Shadow Dancer, War Shadow Dancer, and Hunter Shadow Dancer were unique. Due to the butterfly effect caused by his existence, he had snatched Xiao Rong Bu Shi Wei Wo's Holy Shadow Dancer title, Xiao Rong Bu Shi Wei Wo had taken the War Shadow Dancer title, and now Ying Sha had obtained the Hunter Shadow Dancer title ahead of time.

Regardless of whether Sun or Ying Sha obtained the Hunter Shadow Dancer title, it didn't matter anymore, since they were both members of Niuren Tribe.

Niuren Tribe had successively produced six Shadow Dancers, which greatly surprised the players of the Glorious Empire and the Satrin Empire, especially the thief players. They were even more convinced of one fact: generally, high-level thieves had no future if they didn't join Niuren Tribe. Looking at other guilds, apart from the Butcher, Shaq, had they cultivated a thief of any significance?

"Let him come along too."

Soon, Sun, Xie Yao, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, and others rushed towards Battler City from all directions.

Nie Yan passed through a street. A guild called Chasing Moon's Arrow, with about three hundred members, was heading this way. Most of the players were around levels 120 to 130. They gradually approached a square spire. Several shield warriors in the front were luring monsters, slowly leading several Sand Giants over.

Boom, boom, boom. Several Sand Giants took heavy steps, each attacking the shield warriors in front of them. They raised their thick arms and threw a punch. With a loud bang, the shield warriors took a few steps back but immediately charged forward.

"Shield warriors, lure them to the side! Mages, full power output!" a thief player called Yan Si De Yu (Drowning Fish) shouted, probably their guild leader.

Streams of magic shot towards the Sand Giants in front. The mages in the back unleashed their firepower. This group's coordination was quite good.

Teams that could come to Battler City to explore were not simple.

Nie Yan bypassed them and continued to stealth deeper. After advancing about five or six hundred yards, Nie Yan looked ahead. The inner city was already in the distance. He wondered where the NPC called Mephisto was located. There were more and more Sand Giants active nearby. Their figures could be seen everywhere. With such a monster density, it wasn't bad to level up here.

Chanting a spell, a golden light flashed, and the golden earth dragon's tall body appeared beside Nie Yan.

The golden earth dragon's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the nearby Sand Giants. They gathered around, surrounding the golden earth dragon, and raised their arms to attack.

Bang, bang, bang. The Sand Giants' dense attacks immediately triggered the golden earth dragon's Counterattack Storm. Whirlwinds rose, sweeping a group of Sand Giants to the ground.

Nie Yan activated Divine Employment, summoning the holy knight Leves as well.

The two humans and one dragon swept through this area. Nie Yan remained in stealth, collecting the items dropped on the ground, and advanced all the way inside.

A white light shone from the golden earth dragon's body. The golden earth dragon leveled up. Nie Yan checked the golden earth dragon's level. It had reached level 130, and its health had risen to a shocking 170,000. Among pets, it could be considered invincible.

The golden earth dragon had just learned a Flame Armor skill, dealing fire damage to all hostile units around it.

Many players had tried to get pets even more powerful than the golden earth dragon, but they had all failed. Many people had indeed obtained pets of the same level as the golden earth dragon, but after raising them, the effects were far inferior to Nie Yan's golden earth dragon. As for Mutated Energy Crystals, some people had indeed obtained them, but that stuff was extremely rare, with a pitifully small quantity. Players with Mutated Energy Crystals couldn't get good pets, and players with good pets might not be able to buy Mutated Energy Crystals. Moreover, the effect of feeding a pet a Mutated Energy Crystal at level 0 was completely different from feeding it one at a high level.

Therefore, Nie Yan's golden earth dragon still occupied the throne of the strongest pet. It wasn't difficult for it to grind monsters in groups here.

After learning Flame Armor, as soon as the surrounding Sand Giants approached the golden earth dragon, fire damage of five to six thousand immediately appeared above their heads, which was considerable damage.

After the golden earth dragon's health decreased, the super healer, holy knight Leves, was immediately there to replenish its health, so there was no need to worry about health consumption.

They cleared the way all the way, and the ground was covered with corpses.

About ten minutes later, a white light shone from Nie Yan's body. He checked his level and saw that he was already level 127. The leveling speed wasn't bad.

"Have you guys arrived?" Nie Yan asked in the team chat.

"We've already entered Battler City, boss. Where are you?" Bu Si De Huai Dan (Undying Badass) said in the team chat.

"Coordinates 289.800.880," Nie Yan said after checking his coordinates.

"We'll be there immediately."

Nie Yan looked around. The outline of the inner city was already clearly displayed before him. The inner city of Battler City was square, with densely distributed buildings.

The three hundred plus players of Chasing Moon's Arrow advanced along the street. Gradually, they arrived at the place where Nie Yan had started grinding monsters. The scene before them stunned them. At a glance, the ground was covered with the corpses of Sand Giants, in large numbers, stretching all the way to the end of the street.

"Boss, who did this? A thousand-man team? Impossible. We've been in this area all the time. If a thousand-man team had passed by, we couldn't have failed to notice it," a player said puzzledly. The corpses of these Sand Giants hadn't been refreshed yet, proving that the people in front hadn't gone far.

Yan Si De Yu (Drowning Fish) shook his head blankly. He couldn't figure it out either. This street was so narrow. How could a thousand-man team pass through?

"You guys set up camp in place. I'll take some people to take a look. Xiao Qi, you guys follow," Yan Si De Yu (Drowning Fish) said in the guild group chat.

"Okay."

A group of six thieves stealthed forward to scout. The scene along the way shocked them even more. The corpses of Sand Giants were endless.

"Boss, I picked up two gold coins."

"Boss, I picked up a level 150 silver armor."

These thieves discovered that many of the items dropped by the Sand Giants on the road hadn't been picked up. Nie Yan alone simply didn't have time to pick up all the dropped items one by one. Moreover, many things Nie Yan didn't even bother to bend down to pick up, so he left a lot behind.

Yan Si De Yu (Drowning Fish) frowned. The other party definitely didn't have many people. If a large team had passed by, the battlefield would usually be cleaned very thoroughly, and they definitely wouldn't have left so much behind.

After advancing five or six hundred yards, Yan Si De Yu (Drowning Fish) and the others looked towards the end of the street. A huge golden earth dragon appeared in their line of sight.

"Golden earth dragon! Oh my god, it's Mad Rogue Nie Yan!" someone in the team exclaimed.

Yan Si De Yu (Drowning Fish) was shocked. Had Nie Yan done all this alone? This guy was too terrifying!

"So it's Mad Rogue Nie Yan. No wonder!"

Everyone felt it was only natural.

Yan Si De Yu (Drowning Fish) looked towards the direction where Nie Yan was. The golden earth dragon was staying in place, as if waiting for something. He didn't know what Mad Rogue Nie Yan was doing over there.

"Everyone be quiet. Let's go take a look," Yan Si De Yu (Drowning Fish) said. Mad Rogue Nie Yan had triggered Battler City and probably received a special task. The curiosity in his heart drove him to follow and see.

The six people strengthened their concealment and carefully looked towards the direction where Nie Yan was.

After advancing for about ten seconds, they finally approached to within about a hundred yards of Nie Yan. The huge golden earth dragon was like a small mountain, giving people a heavy pressure. Nie Yan, dressed in a black robe, stood beside the golden earth dragon, and they couldn't see his face clearly. In addition, there was also a tall NPC wearing silver armor beside Nie Yan.

"That holy knight should be Leves, who is rumored to be outside."

"What is Mad Rogue Nie Yan doing here?"

"Hard to say."

They were a bit puzzled. Seeing Mad Rogue Nie Yan in person in the wild gave them a whole new feeling. They felt their heartbeats involuntarily accelerating. At this time, they were only a hundred yards away from Mad Rogue Nie Yan. Although it felt safe, they still felt a very heavy pressure in their hearts.

Nie Yan was standing in place waiting for Sun and the others to arrive when he suddenly sensed something and looked towards the edge of the street in the distance.

There were a few thieves, but Nie Yan didn't care. Thieves who could be detected by him outside of a hundred yards posed no threat to him.
