Chapter 871 - Water Demons (1/2)

The oer Dark attribute demonic beasts could leap at you from nowhere

As Xie Yao set foot in the cave, three shadows rushed toward her

Xie Yao waved her staff A ball of light for brilliance

The three shadoere blinded Moained their vision, but Xie Yao was already nowhere to be found

Nie Yan looked after Xie Yao into the cave, watching her go He saw the three shadows, the bright light, and then nothing There was nofor about 10 minutes, Nie Yan entered stealth

The shadows in the cave were Shadow Demons, extremely fast monsters with powerful physical attacks Most were around Level 160–170 Some were Level 180–190 They were ordinary monsters for the most part, with only a few Elite class ones here and there

Nie Yan watched his steps as he carefully snuck past the through here wouldn’t be difficult since he was a Thief For a Holy Mage, on the other hand, it would be incredibly difficult to get through here without a scratch Their safest bet was to clear away all theforward, Nie Yan didn’t notice any corpses on the ground He had no idea how Xie Yao was avoiding the Shadow De a Holy Mage for so long, running dungeons with the other experts of the guild, along with Nie Yan’s guidance, she had honed her skills to an extreh level In fact, she occupied the spot of nue in asskickers United

Nie Yan faintly shtunnels, the path up ahead opened up It looked like a whole ‘nother world This place was filled with darkness energy

Walking through a patch of grass, Nie Yan arrived at the edge of a large lake The water was pitch black, and the surface deathly still

After reaching the lakeside, Nie Yan finally ?” Nie Yan asked Looking into the distance, the lake surface was covered with fog There was no way to see the other side

Xie Yao shook her head “There are monsters in there Plus, the water is poisonous We’ll be taking continuous dae if we step in it There’s no way to safely swim across”

“Then what do we do?”

“There’s a soes back and forth across the lake It’ll come in a bit”

Nie Yan and Xie Yao sat down in front of the shore They chatted to pass the ti a new bouquet of flowers to Purple Pearl every day She’s probably annoyed to death by now,” Xie Yao said This was the hottest gossip going around in the guild the last few days

A face surfaced in Nie Yan’s mind Purple Pearl was an Alchemist in asskickers United One of their better ones, in fact; a Grand skill Every tih level uild That was probably how the twoYao has a chance?” Nie Yan asked He was quite concerned about this brother of his He hoped Tang Yao could break away from the curse of his past life and find true love It was that sa Yao falling in love with an escort in a bar he frequented, well aware how fickle she was This woman was to be blamed for his death just as much as Liu Tianshi+! Luckily, Liu Tianshi+ was dead already The same fate couldn’t befall his friend in this life anye of that other world disappear altogether

“Pigs will fly in the sky before he gets her She’s way out of his league” Xie Yao giggled

“Ah, not again” Nie Yan facepalht out thebeauties, only to be rejected tiain It seemed like this time wouldn’t be any different

“Why do you have so little faith in Tang Yao?”

“It’s not that I don’t have any confidence in him, but the punk tries really hard to take ahat little confidence I do have in him Whenever he sees a beauty, his first head clocks out and the second one takes control Have you heard his pickup lines? It ainst a wall”

“Sounds like you’re the expert Are you really that good at picking up beauties?” Xie Yao asked, a dubious look on her face as she put her hands to her waist

“E-eh, how did the conversation shi+ft to hed, and said with a s?”

The two continued bantering with each other Eventually, the silhouette of a boat appeared within the fog and slowly approached the shore

“It’s here,” Xie Yao said

Nie Yan’s heart tre over, like an apparition in the fog

This was sort of creepy The boat was steering itself!

If it weren’t for Xie Yao leading the way, he would’ve probably wasted quite a bit of effort trying to get to the other shore

The boat got closer and closer before stopping at the water’s edge A faint, alure stood at the bow The captain! His appearance was ihtly distinct were his hands holding the oars This spirit looked like it could disappear at anyif he should take out this ghost But Xie Yao grabbed his hand and shook her head “We need hiet to the other side”

Xie Yao led Nie Yan to the boat The two carefully stepped on and sat down in the host raised his head and looked at the tith a clouded expression Then, he lowered his head back down and started rowing

Nie Yan inspected the ghost with Transcendent Insight
