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

It contains a large number of inlaid gems, potions, scrolls, and skill books.

This piqued Liu Nian's interest. He looked at the gems, and they were mostly for adding attributes, such as armor, critical hit, attack power, and health. There wasn't anything particularly outstanding.

The potions all restore health and status, but they are of a higher level.

The scroll is similar, but it doesn't have the legendary level of group invincibility that Wu Zhan used when fighting the Lich last time.

The skill books are pretty good!

Spider-elves are masters of stealth, so they have a lot of stealth skill books, as well as a large number of bow and dagger skills, and magic skill books, all of which are related to shadow and poison.

However, two skill books caught Liu Nian's eye.

One of the skill books is called "Eternal Night Curtain (Myth)," which he sees as an enhanced version of Nightmare's Ghostly Shadows.

【Eternal Night Curtain (600CD, 340 Energy)】: Creates a dark area lasting 3 seconds with a diameter of 1000 meters, covering the designated area and imprisoning enemies within the area from movement, teleportation, and other skills. You gain the ability to dash to an enemy within the designated area, allowing you to select an enemy and quickly dash to them, dealing damage based on 15% of your attack power.

Although this skill doesn't deal much damage and isn't as good as the Leap of Heavenly Punishment, its extremely long-range headshot dash, combined with the ability to immobilize enemies and allow them to escape using movement abilities, makes it a god-tier skill!

As for the second book he had his eye on, it was an auxiliary skill: Ethereal Weapon (Mythology).

【Ethereal Weapon (80CD, 190 Energy)】: For 3 seconds after activation, apply your skills or skill effects to any weapon.

What does this mean? It means that some skills are not restricted by weapon usage, such as Liu Nian's Shadow Strike and Dragon Seal of Ten Thousand Borders.

However, most skills actually have specific equipment requirements. For example, Intentional Fist can only be used with fists, gauntlets, knuckle dusters, claws, and other weapons. For example, mage skills generally require staves or enchanted weapons, and blocking skills generally require a shield, and so on.

This skill allows you to break free from this limitation. You can unleash blizzards and Earthshatter with a dagger, and you can cast Fire Wall and set traps with a shield...

This greatly increases the flexibility and gameplay of the skills.

In Liu Nian's case, this means he can use any weapon to trigger the skill effects of Heart Steel, Soul Drain Strike, and... Deliberate Blast Punch.

For example, after activating the Hollowfication Weapon, Liu Nian can use the Big Bomb shoulder-fired rocket launcher to unleash a Charged Punch from a distance. (Think of it this way: it's like the Charged Punch becomes a Titanic Hydra effect, like Jinx equipping a Titanic Hydra.)

Of course, you can also use a two-handed sword to trigger Soul Drain Strike, Heart of Steel, and Deliberate Blast.

Liu Nian's interest in this skill was partly due to helplessness, because the legendary set he had collected, the Immortal King, had a two-handed sword as its main weapon.

Gauntlet-type equipment is relatively rare, and legendary sets are even rarer. Although the Mechagon Precision Hydraulic Claw in my hand is also legendary, even gnomes don't know the subsequent set pieces, so there's no idea when I'll be able to collect the whole set.

In comparison, many of the Immortal King's components have already appeared.

Of course, although he planned to learn this skill, he couldn't learn it for the time being. His support skills were maxed out, and he still had Twin Casting ahead of him that he hadn't learned yet.

Even if you learn his main attack method, it's still his fist. After all, this skill has an 80-second cooldown, so you can only use it suddenly when the opportunity arises.

Liu Nian was also a little curious, wondering if Unstoppable Force could use ethereal weapons. Could it be that it could just throw the weapon at people? Well, that's not impossible.

After viewing the treasures in the Shadowmoon Clan's secret chamber, Liu Nian naturally took them all without hesitation, preparing to transfer them to the floating city base.

Although Esmedina hid her feelings well, Liu Nian could still see the pain on her face.

He didn't reveal it, because compared to this little thing, he would bring much more to this spider-like elf in the future!

For example, Liu Nian plans to go and take a look at the Abyss Dwarves next door.

The resource shortage faced by the Shadowmoon Clan made Liu Nian realize that he needed productivity, a lot of productivity!

We need skilled craftsmen and laborers who can transform the rich underground mineral resources into actual combat power.

Located about thirty kilometers northwest of the city of exile, and occupying the largest iron ore vein and a tributary of the lava river in the third layer of the Underdark, Forgefire Fortress—the underground city-state of the Abyss Dwarves—naturally came into his view.

The intelligence provided by Esmedina indicates that this group of dwarves has a tense relationship with the spider elves and frequently invades the Shadowmoon Remnant's mining areas to plunder ore and hunt down lone hunters.

Former Queen Esmeralda organized several counterattacks, but the dwarves, relying on their sturdy fortresses, superior equipment, and complex defenses built with hellfire cannons, inflicted heavy losses on the Shadowmoon Remnants each time, ultimately forcing them to retreat.

Liu Nian had no intention of letting them go. Dwarves were valuable assets; they were essential for mining and forging! However, those little dwarves were even more stubborn than gnomes, so it was highly unlikely that he could subdue them like he had subdued the spider elves.

The spider elves were able to worship Arachne because they had been abandoned by the Shadow Spider Queen and lost their faith. In addition, Arachne's appearance was very similar to theirs, so it was an opportunity to take advantage of their vulnerability. Therefore, it did not take much effort to change their faith.

But dwarves are different; they probably won't be tamed so easily.

Then we must conquer them by force, and the reasons are readily available: now that he is the mastermind behind the exile city, he certainly can't let those dwarves come to the spider elves' territory to steal their ore! So we must get our revenge!

As for the Rusty Dynasty, their plans had to be postponed.

Liu Nian first learned the Eternal Night Curtain skill and immediately leveled it up to level five:

The skill's coverage diameter has been increased to 2000 meters, its duration to 8 seconds, and its damage to 40%.

With this skill, Liu Nian's tactics became more flexible and varied.

For example, during a high-level battle, you could turn off the lights and switch off the power, teleport directly to the enemy's command center, then select five enemy leaders and drag them into the Abyss for intensive training. After training, you could unleash endless fury and wreak havoc, or you could use the Leap of Heavenly Punishment to escape at any time...

Liu Nian made his decision: "Pandera, gather five hundred elite warriors and come with me. Arachne, you stay in the city of exile to preside over the conversion ceremony. Esmedina, do you have a prison here?"

Esmedina paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, but not many."

"Then put the lid on as soon as possible."

As spider-like spirits, they instinctively use spider silk to imprison enemies, making them naturally gifted at building prisons or cages.

"Okay, how much do you need?"

"It needs to be able to accommodate at least a thousand people!"

Esmedina's eyes widened.

So many?
