Chapter 8: The Price of Contempt
After identifying the equipment, Nie Yan walked outside and looked down at the skill bar, there were only two skills in the skill bar, stealth and vital attack.
A perfect thief is made up of a myriad of skills. A thief can be without equipment, but definitely not without skills.
In the early days, Nie Yan knew all the points that could be used to farm thief skill books, but he wouldn't make a lot of effort to brush those skill books, but any skill book that could be brushed out could be bought on the market.
Where else can I get a beginner rare skill book?
Nie Yan slapped his forehead, how could I forget this.
For a thief, in order to have sustained combat power, he will often choose one of the potions and bandage skills. Pharmacy is to make all kinds of blood vials, potions, etc., in battle, a vial of blood is equal to the second life in the battle, after the battle to drink a bottle of slowly restore the blood vial, can make people recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible into battle, speed up the speed of leveling. The bandage, on the other hand, is less effective than the instantaneous blood vial, and the normal bandage skill can only be used after the battle is over.
Nie Yan knew a place where he could learn rare combat bandage skills.
In the future, if the level is high, if you buy intermediate or above instantaneous recovery potions and slow recovery potions from the market, the cost is very large, after all, each bottle of instantaneous return and slow recovery is pulled out by players from between their teeth, and the price is very high, unless those who are rich, ordinary players often can't afford to use instantaneous and slow recovery potions.
But Nie Yan is different, he has a lot of ways to make money quickly in his head, don't worry about money, in the future, instant return potions, slow recovery potions can be bought from the market, there is no need to bother to learn pharmacy, but if he learns the combat bandage, it can greatly improve his survivability, so in total, he has an idea in his heart.
Let's go and learn the combat bandage first.
Nie Yan spent two copper coins to buy two bottles of primary underwater breathing medicine at the NPC pharmacy, and ran towards Rando Lake, which was not far from the small town of Trak.
After several two-level and three-level monster areas, there are many players who team up to farm monsters, and they often occupy an area, and melee classes such as warriors and paladins attract monsters, and then the mages keep bombarding. Some teams also bring priests, and even though the priests haven't healed yet, and their attacks are not as good as mages, they just eat experience, but the priests are still very popular when they are formed in the team. Because if a team wants to develop in the future, it must have a good relationship with the priests, and the lack of priests is equivalent to the lack of an endless reserve blood bank.
As for the thieves, the thieves are easy to be thrown off by the team in the early stage, but the thieves are famous for their speed of solo training, as long as they buy all the necessary skills, the speed of the thieves' solo training is not inferior to that of the mage, and it doesn't matter if they can't form a team.
It's very boring to level up at various spawn points, but they can still chat, and when they talk nonsense, time passes quickly.
Nie Yan carefully walked through the monster farming area of these players, and there was a fight between the players, one player killed the other, and the punishment was red name and inability to return to the city, and when the red name was killed, the level dropped even harder, and all the equipment was blown out. However, after a period of farming, the monster will disappear. Therefore, there are many players who often take risks for the sake of the equipment on each other's bodies, and they want to explode the equipment on others at the expense of their red name. For safety, you must be very careful when encountering unfamiliar people in the wild.
It is said that the fish-people are the descendants of the ancient demon beast Naga, and after countless reproductions, they finally evolved into the current state, with the body of a fish, the limbs of humans, and their attack weapons are sharp teeth and harpoons in their hands.
The fish-people are third-level monsters, there are a lot of them, and there is also a fish-man village nearby, Nie Yan must first pass through the edge of the fish-man village, enter the Rando Lake, swim through the lake, and then reach the destination.
The Fish-Man Village sits on the shores of Lake Rando, with hundreds of wooden huts scattered on the sandy beach at the edge of the lake. There are at least more than 300 fishmen in this fish-man village, dozens of fish-man leaders, and two elite-level fishmen, and if you want to clean up this place, you need at least more than a thousand people.
Nie Yan was about to use stealth to bypass the fish-man village when a system prompt rang.
Regional Announcement: The Triumphant Guild will be cleared in three minutes, and players near the Fishman Village are kindly requested to leave.
Triumphant Guild? Nie Yan raised his eyebrows, in the previous life, he and the Triumph Guild had some festivals, the Triumph Guild had a large number of people, acted arrogantly, and cleared the field at every turn, once a brother of Nie Yan cleared the field because he was dissatisfied with the Triumphant people, killed three Triumphant players, and had a little grudge with the Triumphant people, and the Triumphant people chased them to death, threatening to clear the brother back to the zero level, at that time Nie Yan and others had low strength, and they could only hide in the deep ravine and practice hard for more than a month, and they dared to come out after the level was high, but even after coming out, they could only protect themselves, Don't dare to confront a big guild like Triumph head-on.
The feeling of being a wreck, not to mention.
In this life, that kind of history will never repeat itself, this account must be calculated, but not now.
Nie Yan has only been in the game for a long time, and he still needs to accumulate capital little by little.
He ran in the direction of the shores of the lake.
Looking ahead, the blue water meets the blue sky, and the lake sparkles in the sunlight.
The people of the Triumph Guild are nervously mobilizing, and there are many places nearby that have discovered the movements of the Triumph Guild players, and they have come quite a bit, and it seems that they are ready to attack the Fish-Man Tribe.
The Fish-Man Tribe is not a dungeon, but a monster colony, and these places often produce something nice.
Nie Yan walked through a low forest, about two hundred yards from the lake.
A fireball pierced the sky and shot towards Nie Yan.
With a flash of firelight, Nie Yan's gaze passed through the woods and landed on an elemental mage wearing a red robe, the other party was a triumphant person, a third-level elemental mage!
Mages are divided into three types: elemental mages, arcane mages and holy word mages, elemental mages can control the power of elements such as ice, fire, and thunder, and arcane mages can control arcane arts, and the holy word mages have the fewest numbers and the most difficult skills to practice, but they are the strongest, and they can perform divine magic.
The Elemental Mage's fire magic is the most lethal of any elemental magic.
When Nie Yan discovered the fireball, it was already too late.
Bang, the fireball technique exploded on Nie Yan's body, knocking out Nie Yan's twenty-two HP.
System: If the player attacks you with purple fire, you can defend yourself for 3 minutes.
When you encounter a mage, either rush up and fight him in close quarters, or run away.
Confirming that there were no other triumphant people around, Nie Yan pounced on the elemental mage Purple Fire.
The tactic of the mage is to keep a distance from the enemy as much as possible, and then bombard the opponent with magic.
Elemental mage Zihuo jumped backwards, cast a fire blast spell, and another fireball struck, then ran backwards, trying to distance himself from Nie Yan.
When encountering the magic coming from the front, the player can use the roll to dodge, but if the roll dodge, it undoubtedly gives the elemental mage a chance to distance himself, and Nie Yan pounced towards the elemental mage with a fireball.
Bang, another flame explosion exploded on Nie Yan's body, knocking out twenty-seven points of Nie Yan's blood.
Every time Purple Fire casts a spell, it takes some time to chant.
The elements of magic casting, respectively, are posture, language, materials, equipment, magic weapons, etc., to cast different magic, the need for different elements of magic casting, some only need language to be able to cast, some need posture, some need posture, language, materials, etc. to cooperate with each other to cast.
Each spell has different elements and a different amount of time.
Cast a spell in syllables and gestures, one syllable for a second, one gesture for a second, ten syllables for a set of syllables, and ten gestures for a set of gestures. Syllables and gestures can be stacked on top of each other.
The time to cast the Flame Burst skill is two syllables and two gestures, which is two seconds, and if you have not learned to move the cast, you need to pause in place for two seconds to cast the Flame Burst skill.
Nie Yan approached when the purple fire was exerting a flame explosion, and with a forward stab, he knocked out the twenty-three points of purple fire's blood. The mage's defenses are very fragile.
The purple flame leaped backwards, a violent ring of fire, and the flames spread out in all directions.
The Ring of Flame only needs one syllable to cast.
At such a close distance, there was no way to dodge, Nie Yan took a hard beat, received thirty-nine injuries, and with a movement of his fingers, he took out a bottle of primary instantaneous return elixir from his belt and poured it down.
Zihuo's movements are decent, but not very smooth, and every mage will be a little nervous when they are forced in front of the thieves.
He took advantage of the raging ring of fire and stepped back.
Nie Yan added so many points of agility, the thief's attainments in speed were still quite commendable, at this time, his speed played to his advantage, and he stubbornly entangled Zihuo, stabbing two forward stabs in a row, and getting rid of Zihuo's thirty-six points of blood.
Another fireball from the purple fire hit Nie Yan.
The calculation of faith time is three seconds for a round, and any magic that has a chanting time of less than three seconds cannot be interrupted unless the caster dies, and even if it is close combat, Zihuo can also fight back against Nie Yan.
Under the high damage of the fireball, Nie Yan still had twenty-five points of blood left, and the purple fire retreated some distance, waving his staff and chanting magic, and the flame element quickly circulated on his staff, accumulating into a clump.
In Zihuo's opinion, he still had fifty-one points of blood left, which was safe for the time being, but Nie Yan only had twenty-five points of blood left, and he only needed a fireball to kill Nie Yan.
With the chanting of the purple fire, the fire elemental quickly gathered, and the flames burned brightly.
"Die!" Zihuo felt that everything was under control, and the light of the fire shone on his hideous face.
Nie Yan understood how dangerous it was at this time, he had already forced to Zihuo's side, squinted his eyes and glanced at the anger value, the anger value had been accumulated, and it met the requirements.
The dark black pupils locked on Zihuo's throat, and the dagger in his hand changed from a forward grip to a reverse grip.
"Vital Attack!"
Nie Yan and Zihuo staggered by, and a cold light slashed through Zihuo's throat, and a crack opened in Zihuo's throat, and blood splattered.
System: Critical attack is completed, the attack position is offset by 5%, and the bonus attack damage is increased.
-51, a damage stat floated up from Purple Fire's head.
The fireball condensed in Purple Fire's hand dissipates and disintegrates, and upon death, any magic cast by the player is interrupted.
Reversal of life and death!
How is this possible!
His eyes were full of incredulous expressions.
Never underestimate the explosive power of a thief, even if you have an absolute advantage in front of a thief, don't feel that you are safe, because the next moment, you may be the one who dies.
Zihuo's eyes dimmed, and he fell to the ground with a puff, still unable to figure out how a second-level thief could suddenly burst out with such a big kill.
The damage of this skill is really good.
Nie Yan put away the dagger, bent down and put away the equipment dropped by Zihuo, it was a bronze staff with level 0 perception +3, which was estimated to be able to sell for more than ten copper coins.
"There's an enemy over there, and the purple fire is hanging!"
"Chase, don't let him run!"
Nie Yan killed a triumphant person, such a big movement must have attracted the attention of nearby players, and six triumphant people outflanked Nie Yan from all directions.
Nie Yan ran wildly in the direction of Randuohu, his running speed was a little faster than that of ordinary players of the same level, and he quickly pulled others away for a distance.
A mad swordsman appeared in front of Nie Yan and blocked Nie Yan's way.
"If you want to run, it's not so easy, a word sword slash!"
