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

Chapter 591 - Paladin Lafus

Nie Yan activated the Search skill of the Holy Stone. Before long, a small marker appeared on his map. A piece of the Tyrant Abak Set was nearby, no doubt!

Glancing in his bag, he had already collected Abak's Gloves of Sealing, Abak's Bloody Dagger, and Abak's Cape of Ruin. He was three-eighths of the way to completing the Tyrant Abak Set.

Nie Yan could already imagine himself donning on the Tyrant Abak Set once he reached Level 180. At that time, his stats would ascend to godly realms. With the power to sweep through every obstacle in his path, he could look down loftily from high atop the clouds.

"Still 81 levels to go. Hmm... I wonder which piece of the Tyrant Abak Set is hidden here."

The Darkwing Dragon descended into the base of a ravine, kicking up vortexes of grit with every beat of its wings. Nie Yan hopped off and surveyed his surroundings.

All around were towering mountains, with no roads or paths to speak of.

"It should be somewhere south of here," Nie Yan muttered. All he saw in that direction was endless rocks and oddly shaped boulders, veiled by a dense curtain of fog.

Nie Yan recalled the Darkwing Dragon into his pet space.

He headed toward the marker, bounding over boulders and other obstacles as if he were on flat ground, unimpeded by the rugged terrain.

Wind howled through the peaks as Nie Yan advanced toward his destination. After reaching halfway up a mountain, he arrived at a stone forest. It was quite enigmatic. Several stones bore traces of human handiwork, sculpted into alluring beauties in various coquettish poses. The everpresent fog drifted aimlessly, while a cold chill occasionally blew past. Rather than a sense of beauty, an eerie feeling pervaded the atmosphere here.

Nie Yan shuttled back and forth through the stone forest. After searching everywhere, he still came up empty-handed. "That's strange. The marker clearly points here, why can't I find anything?"

"Forget it. I'm already here. I might as well keep looking. It's probably hidden off in some corner."

Nie Yan resumed his search. As he made his way out of a crevice sandwiched between two cliff walls, he spotted a cave entrance up ahead. It was surrounded by demonic statues of women bearing sharp teeth and malevolent expressions.

"I guess this is the place." Nie Yan headed inside. The cave was damp and dimly lit.

Nie Yan could faintly make out the path ahead thanks to his high Night Vision. He proceeded forward. A clear dripping sound entered his ears. It appeared to be coming from deeper inside.

At about 300 meters in length, this cave was devoid of any monsters. Its narrow and winding tunnels led to some far away location.

Nie Yan leaned his hand against the wall as he walked forward. His palm suddenly came in contact with something rough and coarse. The darkish gray rocks here were made out of some kind of metal. He had encountered an ore deposit.

Slashing the wall with Zennarde's Sword, a nugget sized piece was carved off and fell into Nie Yan's palm.

After closely examining the colour, luster, and composition, Nie Yan confirmed it was Habo Platinum.

Habo Platinum was a top quality crafting material. It could be forged into Level 100 Dark Gold-grade equipment. The higher the purity, the better the stats of the equipment produced. Due to the rarity of this metal, a nugget of Habo Platinum (5) could sell for up to 600 gold-a sky high price for just a single ore.
