Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 1)

Chapter 144 - Lord-class Scaled Frog

Nie Yan left Calore and sprinted back toward the Scaled Frog zone. Those Elites should have respawned.

「Be careful, don't get yourself accidently killed while I'm not around,」Nie Yan cautioned. Tang Yao being all alone was extremely dangerous.

「Don't worry. I haven't seen any monsters nearby. I'm perfectly safe.」

「Give me your coordinates.」

「23828.23875.385」

Heading for these coordinates, Nie Yan eventually met back with Tang Yao in the forest.

"Did you buy more Smoke Powder?" Tang Yao asked. After using so many pouches yesterday, there probably wasn't much left.

"Yeah, I did," Nie Yan replied.

"Hah, killing Level 30 Elites is pretty costly." Tang Yao sighed in sorrow at the thought of how much gold was spent solely on Smoke Powder.

"Well, we can make it back by killing them. Remember those recipes that dropped yesterday? After giving them to the Alchemists on the second floor, they're earning the Starry Night Potion Shop at least several gold a day. It'd be even better if we could find some top-quality gear that we can equip."

"Your shop really makes that much?" Tang Yao asked in an amazed tone. Could a few recipes really bring in so much gold?

"Of course."

"We should find some more recipes then! We'll be rolling in money!" Tang Yao exclaimed in excitement. Elites already had a pretty high drop rate, not to mention Beast-type monsters like Scaled Frogs were the most likely to drop Alchemy Recipes. He did some calculations. If they spent the whole day farming Elites and Sub-Elites, then they would be able to obtain at least three recipes.

The pair headed to the nearest Elite. After arriving at their destination, they still used the same method from yesterday. Nie Yan laid down the Smoke Powder, and then, Tang Yao would barrage the Scaled Frog with magic from a distance.

Thirty minutes later, the Scaled Frog collapsed to ground.

"How far are you from levelling up?" Nie Yan asked. He was surprised to see Tang Yao not immediately levelling up after killing the Elite.

"I'm still 1% away," Tang Yao said after glancing at his experience bar.

"Ah good, then you're not far off. Come on, let's go find the next one," Nie Yan nodded and said. Tang Yao reaching Level 15 would be a heavy blow to Heaven Breaker. At the very least, it would signify to the rest of the player base that Tang Yao had the ability to overthrow Heaven Breaker from his throne. With this happening, Guo Huai and the others would have a much easier time recruiting members for the guild.

Nie Yan had cautioned Guo Huai and the others that they had to be very selective of who they recruited into their guild. Otherwise, they would run a much higher risk of being infiltrated by moles. It would be quite a pain if their internal movements were being monitored and reported back to the major guilds, especially since they were still in the initial stages of establishing themselves. When they actually had the ability to defend themselves, only then would it be okay to fully open the doors for new members.

As they travelled through the gaps between the trees and headed for the next Elite, they were suddenly brought to a halt by a strong gust of wind that came from deep within the forest.

「Croak! Croak!」The deep sound reverberated through the air. This was the call of a Scaled Frog, but it wasn't from an Elite. It was possibly even higher!
