Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 407 - Leshen

Nie Yan stopped right outside the flight point. Although this place was called a flight point, it was actually just a stable that housed giant bats. The beasts were healthy and well-fed. Several old Nerubians were guarding the entrance. They were thin and frail with ugly appearances.

A system notification popped up.

Quest Progress: Head to Brendor Islet in the Flame Bright Archipelago.

Nie Yan walked toward one of the Nerubians.

The old Nerubian greeted him, “Dear sir, what may I help you with today?”

Nie Yan scanned through the dozen or so of flight destinations for a while before responding, “Please take me to Brendor Islet.”

“Happy to be of service.” The old Nerubian retrieved a giant bat from the stables and saddled it.

“Ready, sir. That’ll be 50 silver.”

Nie Yan paid the fee.

The giant bat approached Nie Yan. It had a very docile appearance.

This wasn’t the first time riding a flying beast for Nie Yan. He had done so multiple times in the previous timeline. But back then he rode the most common flying beast in the Viridian Empire, the Griffon!

Nie Yan got on the giant bat, and it took off with a mighty flap of its wings. It spiralled upwards until the white tent below was just a tiny speck before setting course toward Brendor Islet.

The giant bat flew over the Lava Sea, shuddering fiercely due to the scorching air rising up from below.

Nie Yan firmly held onto the reins of the giant bat. After a while, the bat finally stabilized itself after rising roughly 300 meters above the Lava Sea.

Nie Yan got a clear view of the thick black smoke rising up from a volcano as the giant bat flew past the crater.

He looked further ahead and noticed the Lava Sea dotted with islands scattered in a peculiar pattern.

Nie Yan believed there was definitely some lore behind the Flamebright Archipelago. He did a quick search on the official website and found it was the remnants of the Kirkby Empire, a once powerful Nerubians empire that rivalled the Undead Empire. However, it was ultimately submerged under the Lava Sea. These 13 islands still contained some ruins of this empire, but most of them were occupied by lava monsters and fire spirits.

Lava monsters and fire spirits often dropped gemstones and other similar items, so they were very popular targets for players.

After flying for ten more minutes, the giant bat gradually started descending to one of the large islands below. There were lava rock formations everywhere. Large and small cracks ran throughout, under which Nie Yan could see the lava flowing.

You have discovered Brendor Islet.

At the center of Brendor Islet was a volcano, spewing thick clouds of black smoke into the air like a chimney.

Bennett’s Soul flew straight toward the volcano.

Nie Yan hurriedly followed after. He searched up this area online and discovered it was a Level 80 map. He immediately became more cautious and decided it’d be too risky to summon Lil’ Gold. If he encountered a level 80 Elite, Lil’ Gold would only die for nothing.

He entered stealth and made his way toward the lush-looking forest in the distance.

Shuttling through the forest, Nie Yan eventually encountered some fire spirits. They were roughly three meters tall and had blazing humanoid forms.
