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

Chapter 518 - Phoenix

If a special quest was involved, certain conditions would have to be met to open the chest. Furthermore, whatever was contained inside would likely be related to the quest.

Nie Yan was about to give up, when he recalled the Mana Key in his bag. He wondered if it could open the chest.

Nie Yan took out the Mana Key and aligned it with the keyhole of the lock on the chest. The key emitted a brilliant light and changed shape to fit the lock.

Nie Yan inserted the Mana Key inside.

Nie Yan's mind trembled. Perhaps the Mana Key really could open this chest!

About 30 seconds later, a notification popped up.

Opening treasure chest... Progress: 8%... 12%...

The Mana Key actually worked! Nie Yan was elated. This was a Sub Legendary-grade chest! With how high level the lock was, the items inside definitely wouldn't be ordinary!

"I hope it's not a quest item..." Nie Yan muttered.

With a click, the chest popped open. Nie Yan was greeted by a blast of hot air which nearly sent him flying.

Nie Yan stabilized himself. A bright red light radiated out from inside the chest as a domineering aura swept over him. He rummaged around inside and fished out a large crimson red egg shrouded in scorching hot flames. He could feel a strong heartbeat pulsing through his hand. There was a living creature inside.

−320...

Will you accept the "Resurrection of the Blazing Phoenix" quest?

Nie Yan's eyes widened in shock. There was a Phoenix inside this egg!

Nie Yan couldn't help but be moved. He had obtained another flying mount.

"It's a pet egg. Here, you can have it," Nie Yan said. The difficulty of the Resurrection of the Blazing Phoenix quest probably wasn't low. A player with a certain amount of skill was required to clear it. Not to mention things like pet eggs had to stay by their owner's side.

Nie Yan had never heard of anyone obtaining a Phoenix. This map had already been opened up at Level 80-90. It seemed this Sub legendary-grade chest was added only after the release of flying mounts.

Nie Yan instantly thought of something. Since he had found this egg here, that meant there were definitely more in other places. The proliferation of flying mounts was inevitable.

"You don't want it?" Xie Yao asked.

"I already have the Darkwing Dragon. Each player can only have a single flying mount," Nie Yan explained. This Blazing Phoenix Egg couldn't be allowed to go to waste.

"Oh, alright. I'll take it then." Xie Yao nodded. When she took the egg from Nie Yan, she started taking 160 fire damage every second. She quickly accepted the Resurrection of the Blazing Phoenix quest. After which the scorching hot flames around the egg no longer harmed her.

"After I accepted the quest, my Fire Resistance increased by 80!" Xie Yao exclaimed. Her current Fire Resistance was over 160. If she drank an Advanced Fire Resistance Potion, it would almost be 200! This was quite frightening at her current level. Even if she were to be directly hit by a Flame Giant's fire magic, she would probably only take around 20% damage.

The Phoenix was a creature of fire!

Nie Yan continued rummaging through the chest and pulled out a silver-white necklace. In contrast to the scorching heat from the chest, he felt a refreshing, cool, and soothing sensation from the necklace.
