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

Liu Nian took the Shadow Rat Hide (cloak), Howl (arm guards), and Filthy Leggings (lower garment). He didn't need the rest, so he handed them over to Wu Zhan to handle.

In addition, there were a large number of potions and jars on site, most of which shimmered with an ominous green or purple light, because there were pharmacists and drug addicts among the rat people:

【Potential Ratman Plague Virus】x5: Apply to weapons to inflict continuous natural poison damage on your attacks over 10 seconds and reduce the healing received by the target.

[Neurotic Poison] x3: Apply to weapons, with a chance to greatly reduce the target's attack speed and casting speed for 4 seconds.

【Crazy Volatile Potion】x2: Throw to create a poison cloud in a small area, causing continuous poison damage to enemies within the area and having a certain chance to put them into a "confusion" state, causing them to attack indiscriminately.

[Inferior Healing Potion] x Several: Healing potions used by ratmen are less effective than those used by humans, but it's better to have some than nothing.

After that, there were many design drawings, especially several scrolls stained with oil and blood found on the ratman overseer:

[Blueprint: Ratman Burrow Network (1/3)]

[Type: Architectural Drawings (Special)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Description: Records methods for Skaven to dig and reinforce small burrows. Collect three copies to learn how to build a Temporary Skaven Burrow, which can be used for quick concealment, short-distance teleportation, or ambush.]

[Blueprint: Automated Plague Sprayer]

[Type: Engineering Drawings]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Description: Learn to craft the [Automatic Plague Sprayer], which can be placed in a fixed location and automatically sprays venom at enemies that enter its range.]

[Blueprint: Simple Poison Gas Bomb]

[Type: Engineering/Alchemy Drawings]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Description: Learn to manufacture a low-cost, throwable poison gas bomb that causes continuous poison damage over a small area.]

----------

The ratman burrow network is remarkably similar to the blueprint he gave Wu Zhan before.

It must be said that the ratmen, who are born with the talent to dig holes, would never be locked up like humans.

This is a racial talent, there's no way around it. In fact, humans also have a racial talent, which is the ability to learn the skills and blueprints of all races. This is quite an amazing talent.

Furthermore, what excited Liu Nian the most was that while cleaning up the loot, he actually found three skill stones that shimmered with silver light, as well as a special effect extraction gem.

Finally, there are a few skill books:

[Skill Book: Venom Shot]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Learning Requirements: Level 8, Ranged Weapon Specialization]

[Effect (48-second cooldown, 30 Energy): Your next ranged attack will be coated with poison, dealing (100% Attack Damage) Physical damage to the target and applying the "Neurotoxin" effect, reducing their movement speed by 20% and causing them to suffer (15% Agility) Plague damage per second for 6 seconds.]

--------

Damage is increased by 50% when used on targets below 30% health.]

--------

Looking at these skills, Liu Nian felt extremely frustrated!

None of them are suitable for his fighting style.

There's nothing that can be done about it; after all, they are rat people, and their talents and skill systems are definitely different from humans.

However, having three silver skill stones was enough to make Liu Nian extremely excited.

After this battle, including the new equipment he acquired, his health points officially broke through the 10,000 mark, reaching 10627!

And its attack power reached an astonishing 776!

He has 7 pieces of epic equipment and 2 pieces of mythical equipment!

Meanwhile, Wu Zhan looked at the dazzling array of spoils in his backpack and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This raid not only completed the dwarf's mission and earned valuable reputation, but also significantly boosted the entire squad's strength and resources.

"Now that we've cleaned up, we should head back to report to Master Craftsman Mekkatorque," Wu Zhan said. "He'll surely be delighted to see the Overlord's head."

On the way back, Liu Nian immediately added all four skill points he gained from the upgrade to his passive skill, Hell Curse.

地狱诅咒（5级）：每个被你击杀的敌人有50％的机率掉落1个灵魂，20％机率掉落2个灵魂，5％机率掉落3个灵魂，敌对玩家和BOSS百分之百掉落3个灵魂。你可以拾取该灵魂，永久提供1点护甲和1点法术强度。

Liu Nian currently has a total of 6 skills. Among them, Soul Drain and Unstoppable Force have been enhanced with silver skill stones, while the remaining four have not.

So Liu Nian used three silver skill stones to enhance Hell Curse, Deliberate Fist, and Endless Fury.

First, the curse of hell—

[Silver Skill Stone Activated]

[Effect 1: Picking up souls dropped by Hell Curse increases your experience gain by 1%, stacking up to 20 times. This effect expires 20 seconds after leaving combat.]

[Effect 2: Picking up souls dropped by Hell Curse increases your basic attack range by 1, stacking up to 200. This effect expires 20 seconds after leaving combat.]

[Effect 3: Picking up souls dropped by Hell Curse will restore 1% of your maximum health and mana, and temporarily increase your health and mana regeneration by 1%, stacking up to 20 times. This effect expires 20 seconds after leaving combat.]

After thinking for a moment, Liu Nian chose option three.

Given his current progress, he frequently fights monsters above his level, and the extra experience points are already sufficient. The attack range doesn't affect skills; it only increases basic attacks, which is of little use to him.

In contrast, the response effect is much more tangible.

The second is a deliberate, forceful punch:
