Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World - Chapter 811

Chapter 811



Just as Nie Yan was about to be dogpiled on by these Variant Lords, he activated Leap and soared over 20 meters into the air .

Numerous spells flew through the air, blotting out the sky .

The Druids immediately changed from their bear forms into large black eagles and took to the air .

Nie Yan was about to be inundated with spells .

What can I do…? Nie Yan despaired .

At this moment, Nie Yan’s eyes happened to fall on a pillar some 10 meters away . He shot a web line at it, and with a hard tug, he swung over .

Nie Yan activated Crawl to make his hands sticky . With a light pa sound, he firmly landed on the pillar . Whew! That was close . Nie Yan broke out into a cold sweat as he looked over his shoulder at the barrage of spells he’d evaded . Seeing several large black eagles swooping down on him, he crawled around to the other side of the pillar, then leaped off, flying more than several dozen meters .

The Variant Lords in the back immediately went into pursuit of Nie Yan and moved to surround him .

These bandits were extremely fast . Nie Yan was forced to use every speed boosting skill in his arsenal . He ran away from them for over half-an-hour before finally losing them .

Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief . He hid behind some scattered rubble . According to Twilight Chill and the others’ description, this area didn’t have many guards at first . Only after a few of them got discovered, did more appear . If it were only one or two Variant Lords, Nie Yan felt some confidence in handling them . On the other hand, against several hundred of them, even if he had three heads and six arms, it would still be useless .

The Variant Lords searched around . After failing to find any trace of Nie Yan, they finally scattered .

After passing through this section of the ruins, Nie Yan continued exploring deeper . There were crumbling walls and structures everywhere . Every so often, he would encounter some Level 180 Variant Lords . They were patrolling around all over the place .

These Variant Lords had extremely keen senses . Nie Yan had no choice but to hide and wait for them to leave before continuing forward . Sometimes, he simply sat in a corner for up to half-an-hour waiting .

Nie Yan wasted almost a whole day in the outer hall . Finally, he found himself outside the inner area of the temple . He could see several towering obelisks about 100 meters away . They stood over 60 meter high and required six grown men linking arms to fully wrap around their circumference .

The entrance to the inner area was a flight of ascending stairs leading to who knows where .

Nie Yan passed around a corner and gazed over at the entrance . It was guarded by 70 Level 180 Variant Lords . They were in groups of twos and threes and chatting with each other .

In order to avoid being discovered, Nie Yan immediately retreated back . He started counting, “ . . . 67, 68, 69, . . . 73 . Shit, 73 in total . This is going to be a pain in the behind…” With so many Variant Lords guarding this area, sneaking past them would be impossible . He would have to fight them .


Nie Yan felt a headache coming on . Just how was he going to get past these Variant Lords?

After going over all his options, Nie Yan’s gaze fell on a certain skill—Disguise!

This skill would definitely work, but he had to kill a Level 180 Variant Lord first!

Nie Yan would have no problem soloing a Level 180 Variant Lord, the problem lay in finding one that was alone .

Nie Yan wandered around the ruins in search of a lone Variant Lord . He could only rely on his luck . Even up until the servers shut down, he had none .

During the day, Nie Yan went to school with Xie Yao . In the early evening, the two ate dinner, after which they entered back into the game .

Nie Yan continued searching around the ruins, but he still couldn’t find a lone Variant Lord . They were always in at least pairs . However, he did make a pleasant discovery, a gray chest which was hidden behind some rubble in a secluded corner . It was covered in a thick layer of dust .

Even though it was well-hidden, it still couldn’t escape Nie Yan’s sharp eyes . He crouched down in front of the chest . Since it was covered in so much dirt and dust, he couldn’t even see what kind of chest it exactly was . As he reached out his hand and wiped the surface, its appearance was gradually revealed .



It was a dark green coloured chest of Sub Legendary rarity!

Nie Yan started opening the chest .
Opening chest… Progress: 35% . . . 67% . . .

With a click, the lid popped open .

Nie Yan stuck his arm inside and rummaged around before pulling out a black book .

It was a skill book!

Apart from this skill book, there was nothing else inside the chest .

Nie Yan checked the skill book .
Extreme Vanish: Sub Legendary

Description: Completely erase your presence for a brief period of time . Stealth +300% and Cloaking +300% for 5 seconds . Cooldown: 20 minutes . Can be ranked up .

Restrictions: Thief

Nie Yan’s face lit up with elation . This was just the kind of skill he’d been looking for! He’d found some similar skills before, but they failed to meet his standards and were forgotten in the end . Extreme Vanish, however, did meet his requirements . With this skill active, he could sneak right up to an enemy completely unnoticed!

Nie Yan placed the Extreme Vanish skill book in his palm . With a flash of light, it melted in his hands . A new skill appeared in his skill bar .



After learning Extreme Vanish, Nie Yan continued roaming around the area in search of a lone Variant Lord .

Six hours felt like six seconds, as time quickly passed by . Even though Nie Yan still didn’t have any luck finding a lone Variant Lord, he did make an unexpected discovery . He found the library Twilight Chill spoke of . The entire place was practically on the verge of collapsing . He wondered what mysteries lay within .

As Nie Yan stepped foot inside the library, he gazed around in wonder and amazement . Nobody had entered this place in a long, long time, that much was clear . The books were covered in a thick blanket of dust . Who knew what kind of materials they were made out of to have not completely rotted away by now . He picked up a book and tried to place it in his bag so he could slowly read through it later . However, a notification popped up .
Item cannot be stored in bag .

The books here couldn’t be taken away!

Nie Yan hesitated . Since he had plenty of time, it wouldn’t hurt to stay here and read these books . Perhaps he could learn some valuable information . He searched for a catalogue of all books related to the Goddess of Life, Abak, and divinities . Skimming over the pages, a flood of information poured into his mind .

Clearing the Temple of the Goddess of Life and obtaining Abak’s Leg Guards of Focus in the next few days wasn’t realistic . He might as well sit down and carefully think of a plan .

After spending an entire day in the library, Nie Yan logged out of the game . He had read through many legends related to the Goddess of Life . He planned to continue his research tomorrow .

Nie Yan stepped out of the game capsule and yawned . Today was a holiday . He could go outside with Xie Yao and do whatever they felt like . Looking out the window, the sky was clear .

Nie Yan walked into the garage and started his Thrawn . He glanced at the date and time in his car—August 8th . Suddenly, his heart started racing, like something bad was about to happen . He felt extremely uneasy, but he didn’t know why .

Xie Yao also got in the car with a light smile on her face . “Where are we going today?”

“Nowhere in particular . Let’s just look around town,” Nie Yan replied in a somewhat absent-minded tone .

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Xie Yao asked in a worried tone . She quickly noticed something was off about Nie Yan .

“No . I’m fine . ” Nie Yan shook his head uneasily .

“If you’re feeling sick, we can rest at home today . ” Xie Yao gently stared at Nie Yan . She placed her hand over his forehead . He didn’t have a fever .

“Let’s go to the beach,” Nie Yan said . He didn’t want to dampen Xie Yao’s mood . Pushing down on the accelerator, the Thrawn sped out of the garage and down the street .

The two spent the morning on the beach . Around lunchtime, as they were searching for a place to eat, Nie Yan’s phone rang . He didn’t know why, but the call made his heart jump . Looking at the caller ID, it was Guo Huai . He probably wanted to discuss some guild matters .

「Guo Huai, what’s up?」Nie Yan asked .

「This morning, Tang Yao and I went to a gathering with some friends at Spring Moon in Huahai . One of his friends dragged him somewhere else . I tried calling his phone, but it was off . It’s already been three hours since I last heard from him . I’m starting to get worried,」Guo Huai said .

After hearing Guo Huai’s words, Nie Yan instantly became nervous as if he had confirmed something in his heart . An intense feeling of uneasiness swept over him .

「Did he tell you where he was going?」Nie Yan anxiously asked .

「I think they went to a bar . He wanted to refuse, but that friend kept on pressuring him until he finally gave up and agreed . It seemed like Tang Yao wanted to call you, but he got swept up in the moment and forgot,」Guo Huai said . He sensed the uneasiness in Nie Yan’s tone . 「Why? Is something wrong?」

「That dumbass! I told him not to go to any bars!」Nie Yan cursed out in anger, his heart racing uncontrollably . Dammit, Tang Yao! Nothing better happen to you! He quickly turned his Thrawn around and started driving towards Huahai . However, even at top speed, it would still take him over two hours to get there!

Hearing Nie Yan’s words, Guo Huai also understood the seriousness of the situation . 「I’ll send some people to go find him . If anyone dares to touch him, I’ll make them pay!」

Guo Huai hung up the call and immediately got in touch with his subordinates .

“Nie Yan, what’s going on? Is Tang Yao going to be alright?” Xie Yao asked . She’d overheard the conversation between Nie Yan and Guo Huai .
