Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

This bold conjecture made the room temperature seem to drop a few degrees.

Then Yelena remembered something else and quickened her pace: "And there's Bob! The current Speaker Bob! When the news of the Six Tribes War was concealed, and the matter was exposed, Bob's initial attitude was to keep quiet, even implying that I shouldn't investigate further or tell Wu Zhan immediately... Could he be one of them too?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhan slowly shook his head, denying the guess: "Bob... I don't think he is. Or rather, he may be stupid, he may be bad, but he is unlikely to be a core member of that 'team'."

"Why?" Yelena pressed.

"Because of motives and logic," Wu Zhan analyzed. "If Bob was one of their men, after Charles's downfall, his best course of action would have been to continue concealing the truth or muddy the waters further, rather than revealing part of the truth during a meeting of high-ranking members of parliament. His stupidity was real; he was more like a fool being used than a mastermind."

"So, according to you," Wang Mu frowned, "who did Bob learn about the 'Six Clans War' from? Charles? If Charles was the mastermind, he should have kept it a secret. How could he have let Bob find out?"

"Perhaps... Charles didn't tell him on his own initiative," Yun Xiangrong said softly. "Maybe Bob noticed some clues himself, or perhaps someone else in that 'team' leaked it to him for some purpose?"

"It's also possible that Bob just overheard it by chance, or deduced it from some unusual flow of intelligence," Jiang Yi added. "The parliament isn't a monolithic entity; there are all sorts of rumors circulating."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, proposing various possibilities and debating them one after another. The clues were a jumbled mess, and the truth seemed to remain shrouded in a thick fog.

After listening to everyone's discussion, Liu Nian finally waved his hand, interrupting the increasingly heated debate.

"Alright, I think we don't need to dwell on these details anymore," he said calmly. "Human nature is complex. If a conspiracy team has many members, there will be more ideas and more variables. Many things may be caused by a momentary impulse, a lapse in judgment, or a communication failure. Is Charles a traitor? Was it an individual act or a team effort? Is he dead or alive? It's difficult for us sitting here to guess the exact answers to these questions."

He glanced around, his gaze resolute: "What's done is done, and dwelling on it won't help. The key is—now, how should we respond?"

The group stopped discussing the mole and began to plan their next move.

First, although we will no longer discuss why there was a mole, this point must be taken seriously. They will have Wang Mian secretly investigate this matter and arrange for sentries to keep an eye on Charles and see who visits him in prison.

Since players can resurrect after being killed, killing is not very useful. The correct approach is to utilize these potential "spies" to send "false" intelligence to the other side.

Secondly, improving one's own strength is always the most important thing. Furthermore, one should try to unite all forces that can be united, such as communicating with the Demon Bear and the Eagle Clan, ideally forming an alliance. In addition, the exchange system here with the gnomes, the follow-up quests with the Giant Tribe, the possibility of the Volcano Project… all of these should be accelerated!

Finally, Liu Nian suggested that he go to the pigmen's territory to take a look. His current level is not high, which is very misleading.

If pigmen can enter human territory and hunt down new human players who have just logged in, why can't Liu Nian kill their new players?

Moreover, they have too little information about the pigmen. Even if they cannot know them well, they should at least not be completely ignorant about this greatest enemy of mankind.

To understand, one must make contact, and Liu Nian's approach is correct; no one is more suitable than him.

The fighting spirit was rekindled in everyone's hearts.

With things having come to this point, they had no choice but to overcome all difficulties and meet the final challenge.

Although we don't know much about pig people, we're not completely ignorant either.

After all, they had fought quite a bit with the pigmen from the very beginning, and there had been extensive contact between the two sides during the first battle to defend Azure Town.

Well, all chaotic races are pretty much the same; this race also has a pyramid-shaped clan structure.

It consists of seven major clans, whose leaders are called War Chiefs. Together with the elected clan lord, or Pig King, along with the Howling Prophet, the Hammer Shaman, the High Priest, and the Ancestral Throat, they form their ruling class.

The Pigmen's capital, Ironjaw Fortress, is built on the southern slope of the Steel Ridge Mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Most of its players are melee classes; even those with magic classes like Shamans and Prophets are melee mages.

Their racial talents are mostly: [thick skin and flesh], [berserk bloodline], [steel stomach], [charge gene], [savage intuition], etc.

Pigmen are larger than humans. Although they don't grow as huge as the Demon Bear Clan as their level increases, reaching 3 meters in height is still quite possible.

Their status and strength can be clearly seen from the length of their fangs and the carvings and decorations on them.

Another crucial point is that pigmen enjoy "blood sacrifices," and once a war breaks out, blood sacrifices will inevitably occur because they can directly enhance their combat power.

Pigmen can build a special pig cage that only their race can construct, which they use to imprison their prey, often sacrificing the prey during large-scale battles.

This pig cage is similar to a prison; it can imprison not only players but also wild monsters and NPCs. Before each blood sacrifice, they will drag out the prisoners inside and torture and kill them.

Liu Nian gathered a general understanding from the crowd. After all, this information was from half a year ago, and he didn't know if there had been any other changes.

Although they knew about the seven clans of the pigmen, they had no idea who the specific war chief was or who the pig king was.

Liu Nian was mentally prepared for this; knowing this information was already quite good for him. Next, he was going to take action.

For Liu Nian, after acquiring the Netherworld Prison, he could no longer level up using the traditional monster-slaying method, as that was too slow.

His strategy is to accumulate enough health points and then directly challenge opponents of higher levels, wiping out a whole group with a single punch. His leveling speed is far beyond what others can imagine.

It was already evening. After resting for the night, Liu Nian prepared to use the teleportation array to return to Azure Town early the next morning, and then head to the pigmen's territory.

"Liu Nian, be careful on your journey. Don't forget to come back and go to the secret realm together when you reach level 60!" Wu Zhan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I should have completed my job change by then."

"Okay." Liu Nian nodded.
