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

A strong excitement burned in Wu Zhan's eyes.

He wanted to call Liu Nian, but when he opened his friend list, his eyes suddenly froze.

Liu Nian's level was shockingly high—level 88!

"Level 88..." Wu Zhan's voice trembled slightly. "I remember he was level 71 when he came back after the negotiations? This time... he's leveled up 17 times?!"

"Hiss—!" A collective gasp of cold air echoed from inside the room.

They exchanged a glance and a possibility came to mind.

Could it be that the entire goblin fortress, along with the experience gained from all the goblins who died inside, is being credited to Liu Nian?

"This upgrade speed... even a rocket would be too slow..." Sun Yao clicked his tongue in amazement.

"That can't be right, shouldn't tens of thousands of goblins be enough to keep him at level 99, the maximum level?"

"That's impossible!" Wu Zhan exclaimed. "Don't forget the 10-level difference rule. Goblins 10 levels below him won't give him any more experience points!"

"Oh right! But that's enough! He still has that sacrificial altar he hasn't used yet, right? Now he can level up to 98 right away!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, while Master Mekkatorque appeared to be a mix of joy and worry. He stroked his large beard and sighed, "Lord Liu Nian has created an astonishing tactical miracle, severely crippling our nemesis, the goblins. The dwarves will never forget this kindness. But…"

He looked towards the observation crystal. Although the image was no longer visible there, he could still feel the faint vibrations and intense heat emanating from the ground: "The molten lava vein... one of our most important rare mineral deposits, will probably be unsafe to mine for a long time. That area is now a forbidden zone for life, a kingdom of flames."

Mekkatorque was absolutely right. At this moment, the original mine tunnels and mining faces had disappeared, replaced by a rushing river of lava, spewing pillars of fire, and terrifying figures that roamed the air, enough to send chills down your spine with just a fleeting glimpse: fire elemental creatures composed of pure flame, in various shapes, radiating suffocating energy fluctuations, all of them level 200 or higher!

This is no longer just a problem of not being able to mine; the entire molten lava vein area has undergone drastic changes in ecology and monster levels due to this cataclysm and the opening of the elemental portals.

The newly introduced fire creatures are all at least level 200 or higher, with most around level 220-250, and some even higher.

This means that for a considerable period of time, this area will be a forbidden zone for players.

However, it permanently destroyed the goblins' largest stronghold in the area and wiped out so many goblins in one fell swoop, which can be said to have severely weakened the goblins!

This greatly boosted our morale and dealt a blow to the enemy's arrogance... No matter how you look at it, this is a win, and a huge win at that!

Liu Nian was teleported to the front lines of the Anvil and received his reward from Mekkatorque.

The crowd naturally gathered around, playfully punching Liu Nian's shoulder.

"You're really something!"

"You've managed to make a volcano erupt!"

"Hey, something sounds weird about what you're saying."

Looking at Liu Nian, Wu Zhan couldn't help but marvel again at the monstrous speed of his growth. He suppressed his emotions:

"Well done! That volcanic eruption has halved the goblins' arrogance. The goblin players in the regional chat are going crazy, blaming each other. Our scouts report that the original site of the molten lava mine has been completely transformed into a fiery hell, and the goblin survivors are scrambling to escape through other passages. Wang Mu will start sending people tomorrow to wipe out the remaining goblin threat; there probably won't be many left! Let them handle the follow-up quest for the Fire Lizard Mother!"

Liu Nian nodded: "Okay, I plan to use that sacrifice first thing tomorrow morning. Even though I'm level 88, it won't make a difference if I get one more level!"

"Indeed, you should be able to reach level 99 in the remaining days." Wu Zhan said with a wry smile, "Actually, I originally planned to have you as the vanguard in attacking the Mushroom Kingdom, but now..." He smiled helplessly and pointed at Liu Nian, "Your level is already 88, which is more than 10 levels higher than those Mushrooms. Not only will you not gain experience, but you will also lose any drops. Sending you there would be a complete waste of your time."

Liu Nian understood: "With your strength, taking it won't be too difficult. I plan to go to the ruins of Ascalon and try to clear out a safer area to lay the foundation for building the city."
