Chapter 1 The Headquarters of the Tribe of Gods

The God King was looking at the Demi-human Anguole with trepidation. Anguole was in a furious rage because he had struck out again, not even catching a glimpse of Nie Yan's shadow.

"I order you to find his exact location before tomorrow, or you know the consequences!" Anguole stared coldly at the God King.

The God King felt bitter. Kuangzei Nie Yan had been missing for a long time. The Demon Tribe's map was so large; how could he find Nie Yan in a single day? Moreover, even if he did find him, Nie Yan could still teleport away as before. However, he couldn't disobey Anguole's wishes. If he couldn't find Nie Yan, he would truly be in deep trouble. If Anguole became enraged, not only would he be finished, but the Tribe of Gods would also suffer.

"Respected Lord Anguole, that fellow named Nie Yan is as cunning as a rat. I really can't find him." As soon as the God King spoke, he felt a restrictive force tighten around his neck, lifting him up. His feet left the ground, and he had great difficulty breathing, almost suffocating. This powerful force was completely irresistible. He shouted in panic, "But I have a way to make him come to see you voluntarily!"

As soon as the God King finished speaking, he felt the pressure on his neck loosen, and he fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

Anguole glanced indifferently at the God King and said, "I hope your answer will satisfy me."

The God King caught his breath and said, "Finding a thief in the Demon Tribe's territory is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and he is from the Human Empire, so he can return to the Greenland Empire at any time. If that happens, it will be even more difficult for us to find him. The only way, as far as I know, is that he is the leader of a large guild in the Human Empire, with millions of members under his command. If you massacre his subordinates on a large scale, I believe it won't be long before he can't help but come looking for you, and then you can get the Death God's Blade smoothly."

Anguole was silent for a moment, then looked at the God King and said, "If I find out that you are deceiving me..."

"Respected Lord Anguole, I dare not deceive you in any way. This is all the information I have collected about that guild. However, for your safety, please do not attack their fortresses. They have very powerful and advanced crossbows and cannons."

Anguole took the information from the God King's hand. Anguole was different from the Ghost Princess Aina. Aina's cognition was completely obliterated, while Anguole had a certain amount of intelligence. He wouldn't be like Aina, foolishly rushing forward even when he knew it was impossible, until he was killed. Therefore, Anguole was much more difficult to deal with than Aina.

"It seems I have to go to the surface. I wonder what it's like there now," Anguole murmured, then left.

Watching Anguole's disappearing figure, the God King's flattering smile gradually turned cold. After all, he was just an NPC, and he had become his tool. The intelligent Anguole should give the Niu Ren Tribe a big headache.

Time passed bit by bit. Nie Yan stayed in place to adapt to his current strength. He waited for a full six hours before all his skills finished cooling down.

He checked the distance. The deep tunnel was like a dark beast with a gaping mouth.

Nie Yan walked forward, deeper and deeper.

He didn't know how long he had been walking in the dark when he unknowingly reached the end of the tunnel. All around were stone walls, and in the center was a deep pool, bottomless.

Past experiences told him that something might be hidden at the bottom of the pool.

He walked to the edge of the pool. It was pitch black below, and he couldn't see anything.

He didn't know if there were any dangers below.

After thinking for a while, Nie Yan summoned his Shadow Assassin. It wouldn't hurt to let the Shadow Assassin go down and take a look first!

After receiving Nie Yan's instructions, the Shadow Assassin jumped down, splashing some water.

Nie Yan saw the Shadow Assassin dive down and disappear into the pool. He suddenly realized that he had lost contact with the Shadow Assassin. He couldn't sense its location at all. The pool was still calm as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Nie Yan didn't know where the Shadow Assassin had gone, but he was sure that the Shadow Assassin hadn't died. If it had died, there should have been a system notification!

This pool was full of mystery and unknown dangers, making it frightening.

After hesitating for a long time, Nie Yan decided to jump down and take a look himself. It was like gambling!

Since he had come here, he had to take a gamble!

Nie Yan packed his things, activated Underwater Breathing, and jumped down.

After jumping into the pool, the cold water made Nie Yan shiver. His body felt stiff, his stats decreased by 80%, and even his Cold Resistance had decreased a lot, so much so that he couldn't even stand this bit of cold. He quickly drank a bottle of Cold Resistance Potion, and finally felt a little better.

It was still bottomless below. Nie Yan plunged into the water and swam downwards. As the depth increased, the temperature continued to drop.

After a few minutes, Nie Yan didn't know how far he had dived. The water pressure around him gave him a slight feeling of suffocation.

There seemed to be something glowing at the bottom of the pool. Nie Yan swam towards the light source.

He must be at least fifty or sixty yards below the surface, Nie Yan thought. He suddenly felt something was wrong. It seemed like something was approaching him, as if something was staring at him in the shadows.

A system notification sounded.

System: Shadow Assassin has died.

Not good!

A strong sense of crisis welled up from the bottom of his heart. Nie Yan quickly moved his hands and swam towards the surface. He had only swam a little when something grabbed his right foot and kept pulling him down. Just as he was about to kick away those things with his left foot, he suddenly realized that his left foot had also been grabbed.

No matter how much Nie Yan struggled, his body continued to sink.

An invisible force choked his throat, making him unable to breathe. A strong sense of suffocation made Nie Yan feel his strength rapidly draining from his body.

His body continued to sink. Nie Yan didn't even know who his opponent was. His body was completely out of control.

Underwater Breathing had failed. In a few seconds, he would suffocate to death!

As his body continued to sink, Nie Yan felt the light spot below getting closer and closer.

His consciousness gradually became blurred. Nie Yan struggled to swim towards the light spot.

In the struggle, Nie Yan's right hand seemed to touch something. He immediately grasped it tightly, but it was too late. His consciousness fell into a chaotic darkness.

It's over, Nie Yan thought, as the last thought flashed through his mind.
