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

At Han Yang's signal, the players of the Bulwark Guild carefully spread out behind the rocks and began to "greet" the pigman team at the dungeon entrance as instructed by Liu Nian.

"Hey! You bunch of fat, pink-skinned pigs! What are you doing guarding the gate? Go home and dig in the ground!"

"They all brag so loudly, but why are they cowering like henpecked husbands when they see us?"

"Your grandpa's right here. Come out and show me what you've got! I'll break those fangs off and use them as back scratchers!"

A variety of distinctly human sarcastic remarks rose and fell, echoing through the empty, rusted hills.

However, the pigman group at the dungeon entrance reacted unexpectedly calmly.

They maintained their tight defensive formation. Apart from a few young pigman players who were so angry that their tusks were snarling and they were itching to attack, most of the pigmen, especially the level 60 Bonecrusher who was leading them, just glanced at them coldly, snorted out two thick breaths, and then ignored them.

They didn't even retaliate with insults.

"Something's not right," Han Yang said in a low voice to Liu Nian beside him. "These pigs usually explode at the slightest provocation, how come they're so patient today? Look behind them, it seems like they've temporarily piled up some obstacles, and those shamans have been charging up that pile of stone-like things..."

Liu Nian stared intently and indeed saw several makeshift shelters built of rough rocks behind the pigman ranks, near the dungeon entrance, with faint traces of yellowish-brown energy flowing across them. Though rudimentary, they did create additional defensive depth.

Furthermore, some totem poles are emitting vibrations.

"It seems that the previous group of dead pigmen sent the message back," Liu Nian concluded.

Liu Nian's guess was correct. They said there was a human of low level but terrifying strength nearby, so they increased their vigilance.

These pigmen's mission is to guard the dungeon entrance and prevent them from being lured away. Although pigmen are also a chaotic species, they are far superior to ratmen and goblins in terms of execution and discipline.

"What should we do then?" Han Yang asked anxiously. "Should we charge in? They have the terrain advantage, and those things look like... simple totems? Won't we suffer heavy losses if we charge in?"

Liu Nian did not answer immediately.

His gaze swept over the dozens of pigman players, finally settling on the level 60 Bonecrusher warrior at the head, and the level 55 pigman warriors around him who seemed to have better equipment.

"You stay here and don't come any closer," Liu Nian instructed Han Yang, then took a deep breath and stepped out from behind the rock where they were hiding.

"Brother! You..." Han Yang was startled and tried to grab him, but he missed.

Liu Nian's figure shot straight towards the pigmen's heavily fortified defense line like an arrow released from a bow!

"He charged through all by himself?!"

"Are they crazy?! There are dozens of people on the other side! And they have fortifications!"

"I admit he's strong, but there are so many opponents, including a level 60 one. The level difference is too big!"

"What do we do?"

"Quick! Prepare to provide support!" Han Yang hurriedly gave the order. The players of the Barrier Guild were both surprised and anxious, and they gripped their weapons tightly, ready to rush up to provide support at any time.

The pigmen also immediately spotted the lone figure charging forward.

"Here it comes! It's that black-haired human!" a pig-man exclaimed.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" the Bonebreaker roared, raising his heavy flail.

Several hunters and shamans in the pigman group immediately began preparing to attack and apply negative status effects.

Liu Nian quickly closed the distance with a grappling hook, then launched an unstoppable attack—

Boom! !

He crashed headfirst into a huge horde of pigmen!

However, the prepared pigmen had set up various defensive and damage reduction buffs and totems, as well as extremely high shields, so they only managed to kill a few level 45 pigmen.

"Kill him!"

The Bonebreaker roared, and then the pigmen around him swarmed over, swinging their weapons at Liu Nian!

However, they all hit nothing.

Liu Nian's figure suddenly became blurry, and a strange force field with a diameter of about ten meters instantly spread out, completely enveloping the five locked-on pigman elites along with Liu Nian himself!

The next second, the six figures vanished abruptly from their original positions, as if erased by an eraser.

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

Pigman players: "???"

Bulwark Guild players: "???"

What about people?

What about such a big person?

Where are their respected Bonebreaker and four elite elder brothers?

How come they're all gone?!

"Is it teleportation? Or invisibility?"

"Where is the master?"

A commotion broke out among the pig-men, who looked at each other in bewilderment, leaderless.

Han Yang and the others, who were in the distance, were completely dumbfounded.

"Gone?" A mage player rubbed his eyes.

"Is this some kind of skill? Or have we encountered a rift?"

"Could it be some kind of skill that teleports both the enemy and yourself to some location?" someone speculated.

"Maybe... he was so calm just now..."

Han Yang was also full of doubts and worries, but Liu Nian took the initiative, so he should have expected this situation.

He forced himself to calm down: "Don't panic! Liu Nian definitely has his plans! Let's keep a close eye on the remaining pig-men!"

A dark purple space, flowing, vein-like light bands, and a black crystalline ground.

This is the Avici Hell.

Four level 45 pigman warriors, along with their leader—the level 60 bovine warrior "Hardbone Gru"—are currently experiencing the most absurd, helpless, and devastating moment of their gaming careers, or rather, their pigman lives.

"Where...where is my 'Skullcrusher' warhammer?!"

Gru looked at his empty hands; the mythical warhammer that had accompanied him in battle for so long was gone.

His heavy, tough leather armor had disappeared, replaced by a rough set of linen beginner clothes with no attribute bonuses.

Even the legendary bracer, Roaring Heart, has disappeared!

How could this not make his heart bleed!

The same was true for the other four pigman warriors; their weapons, armor, accessories, and even the potions, food, and items they carried—all external enhancements—were stripped away!

What terrified them even more was the drastic change to the attribute panel.

All the extra attributes gained from equipment, enchantments, and potions are reduced to zero, leaving only the pitiful basic attributes.

Gru's once-proud attack power of over 8,000 points has now plummeted to just over 1,000; his health has also dropped from nearly 200,000 to less than 70,000!

Liu Nian, who stood opposite them, was also dressed in simple clothes, but he gave the five pig-men a sense of oppression.

But Gru forced himself to calm down. With superior rank and numbers, they were still the ones in the advantage!

So what if he's naked? He doesn't believe a mere human's life points are higher than his.

"Get lost! Tear him to pieces!!" Gru roared.

The five pig-men charged forward!
