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

Devourer of the Sun was still indignant: "Disrupting the plan, 'ruining everything'? That's hilarious! If you hadn't plowed up this camp, the first thing they would have done upon emerging would have been run away in panic! Who gives you the nerve to stand here and point fingers?"

Liu Nian didn't speak, but listened quietly. He felt that Shi Ri wasn't as aloof as when they first met. In front of him, Shi Ri seemed to have become a bit "talkative".

Seeing that Liu Nian didn't react, Shi Ri leaned closer, lowered his voice, and spoke with even more sincerity: "If you ask me, forming an alliance with this kind of ally is just asking for trouble! Not only are they unreliable in crucial moments, but they also drag us down, steal our credit, and put on airs! If I weren't here today, who knows how much more arrogant they would have become! Believe me, they might even file a complaint against you, saying you disregarded the big picture and undermined the unity of your alliance!"

Liu Nian finally turned his head and glanced at Shi Ri. In his calm eyes, he saw Shi Ri's face, which seemed rough but vaguely flickered with some kind of calculation and expectation.

This feeling... is a bit subtle.

A strange analogy suddenly popped into Liu Nian's mind: It's like how humans (Little A) and eagle-born (Little B) reluctantly started a relationship (alliance) due to interests and circumstances. Now, the Demon Bear Clan's Sun Devourer (Little C) has jumped out, frantically belittling Little B, saying how bad he is and how unworthy he is of Little A, while simultaneously showing off his muscular physique (strong), straightforward personality (seemingly without many hidden agendas), and exceptional fighting skills (he just helped beat someone up)...

This is exactly the behavior of a "third party" trying to steal the wife away from the other woman!

Moreover, putting aside racial biases, this "third party," C, seems to be... indeed a bit "better" than the arrogant, foul-mouthed, and internally divided B, in terms of strength, personality, and the "sincerity" she has shown so far.

Liu Nian: How about I become a "scumbag" and dump my unreliable wife for someone even more amazing?

Of course, the thought only flashed through my mind.

Racial covenants involve overall strategy and the life and death of countless players; they are no child's play.

But the tendency that Devouring the Sun is showing at this moment is undoubtedly a sign of something else.

It is estimated that Liu Nian's repeated performances have won over the heart of Shi Ri, the chieftain of the Demon Bear Clan.

He was no longer satisfied with just a personal relationship with Liu Nian; he wanted to have a deeper conversation!

But speaking of which, is this Sun Devourer male or female?

The pig girl was not female at all. In Liu Nian's eyes, all these alien races looked the same unless they had obvious characteristics.

What if the Demon Bear Clan is a matriarchal society, and the Sun Devourer is female?

"Chief Shi Ri seems to have a deep-seated prejudice against the Eagle Clan," Liu Nian finally spoke, his tone revealing little emotion.

"It's not prejudice, it's the truth!" Devourer of the Sun immediately said. "Our Demon Bear Clan has been dealing with these birdmen for quite some time now. Arrogance, selfishness, infighting, bullying the weak and fearing the strong... which of these accusations is unfounded? Just now, that bird duke dared to boss you around. Let him try uttering a single fart at me! I'd slap him to death! He just thinks you humans are weak right now, and with the alliance in place, you're easy to manipulate!"

He paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his bear eyes: "Liu Nian, let's not beat around the bush. Instead of sticking with such an unreliable ally, we'd rather find a more reliable partner. We, the Demon Bear Clan, may not have much else, but we have a strong fist and we keep our word! Besides, we just went through a dungeon together and obtained the Eternal Bond; we've been through thick and thin together, haven't we?"

Liu Nian was already very tempted. Another advantage of the Demon Bear Clan was their internal unity and obedience to the Sun Devourer's command!

The problem is that Liu Nian cannot represent all of humanity. Besides, Yang Lavie has also provided him and humanity with a lot of help. Just because there are bad apples on their side doesn't mean we can condemn all Eagle descendants. It's like saying that there are scoundrels like Charles among humanity. Does that mean all of humanity is like Charles?

Liu Nian was thinking about how to solve this problem in a way that would satisfy both sides.

"Buzz!!!"

The portal behind the two of them rippled violently for the last time, and the purple vortex spun rapidly!

The figure of the goblin general, Shatter Bolt, appeared.

As soon as he appeared, his mechanical prosthetic eye shone brightly red and immediately locked onto Liu Nian and Shi Ri in front of the camp ruins.

He knew, of course, everything that had happened here before. His face, a mixture of metal and flesh, was contorted with rage as he let out a series of sharp, piercing roars:

"My camp! You damned bastards—!!"

His roar was met with Liu Nian's fist.

"Bang!!!"

-1567 million!

An astonishing damage number popped up!

The meticulously crafted composite armor on the chest shattered like paper, and the thrusters on the back exploded with a deafening roar!

He was sent flying backwards, as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding train, exploding into a cloud of dust mixed with metal fragments and blood.

[Defeat the Goblin Commander 'Broken Bolt' (LV99)!]

[Soul-Draining Strike in effect... Hellish Curse in effect...]

Sold out instantly.

Clean and efficient, without any suspense.

The other fifteen elite goblins didn't even have time to react before they were blasted into charred remains by several thick bolts of lightning casually thrown out by Devourer of the Sun.

The battle lasted less than ten seconds from start to finish.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a dazzling burst of light erupted beside the broken bolts and mangled corpse.

Various equipment, rare materials, energy cores...

Liu Nian was slightly surprised; this guy had actually been killed by his punch!

All the equipment was destroyed...

It seems that compared to the top players of other races, this goblin player is clearly far inferior.

Liu Nian picked up the items that had been dropped; three of them were of value.

First one:

【Name: Immortal Trample】

[Type: Legendary Set Piece (Heavy Boots)]

[Quality: Legendary]

【property:

+22 Strength per level

+18 Constitution per level

+2 points of slow resistance per level

+55% movement speed

【Special Effect 1, Conquer Charge: After using a movement skill, your next attack will become "War Stomp", dealing damage equal to 200% of your Strength to a large area of ​​enemies in front of you and applying "Forge Mark".

【Special Effect 2, Triumphant Song: Killing enemies through "War Stomp" will double the current stacks of "Raging" and "Molten Body" for 5 seconds.

[Special Effect 3, Legion Swiftness: When you move, all "Immortal Spirits" gain attack speed equal to 80% of your movement speed bonus, and their attacks have a chance to deal piercing damage equal to the attack speed of enemies in a straight line.]

The second item:

Name: Mechagon's Mechanical Eye

[Type: Gemstone]

[Quality: Myth]

effect:

[1. Long-range vision: Doubles the field of view, providing dark vision.]

[2. Detect Invisibility: Can detect stealth skills or traps below Mythic level]

(Note: Except for certain races, this item can only be socketed into jewelry.)

This thing is actually pretty good. Although it's not as good as the Heart of Truth, its functions are all very practical.

It was probably previously installed in the eyes of the broken bolts. Goblin eyes can be modified, but Liu Nian, as a human, cannot use this to replace his own eyeballs.

The last item is the "Hell Engine Blueprints".

It is a super vehicle driven by goblins. Each hell engine is different and requires unique blueprints and different materials.

The Hell Engine blueprint, the Broken Bolt, is incredibly advanced, practically legendary. He'd already collected most of the necessary materials, and now they'd all been dumped, becoming Liu Nian's spoils of war.

[Hell Engine Build Blueprint (Legendary)]!

[Hellfire Core (Epic Material) x1]

[Desecrated Gear (Epic Material) ×112]

【Painful Bearing (Superior Materials) × 365】
