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

Liu Nian's figure changed in a flash of light. His bones made a slight crackling sound, his muscles expanded, his skin turned ice blue, and his fangs protruded. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into an ordinary troll warrior who was nearly three meters tall, wearing tattered leather armor and wielding a crude bone club. His name was Kaska.

Then they arrived at the third floor, where a thousand bee-man warriors who had completed their self-destruct evolution had received orders and stood solemnly in formation in the square. Beside them, ten five-headed serpent lizards lay quietly, their massive bodies bringing a heavy sense of oppression.

"Very good." Liu Nian nodded in satisfaction, then had the behemoth swallow them whole. A moment later, he entered the one-way portal leading to the Abyss of Demons.

After a brief feeling of weightlessness, his feet landed on solid ground.

We've arrived at the Abyss of Demons.

Liu Nian opened his eyes, and the scene that came into view was somewhat strange:

Above them were dark red and deep purple rock walls, and below them was rugged ground covered with a strange, dark substance that resembled both tar and flesh.

The air was thick with a putrid stench, and the magic here was unusually active and chaotic.

Whenever Liu Nian closes his eyes, he seems to hear countless tiny voices whispering in his ear, yet he can't quite make them out.

In short, this place... is very abnormal, it's practically barren and desolate.

The place where Liu Nian appeared was the edge of a simple campsite that had been slightly renovated from a natural cave.

Several campfires, made of the bones of unknown monsters and black stones, were burning, emitting an eerie green glow.

In the center of the camp, supplies were piled up like a mountain.

Three trolls were lounging around the fire, chatting or idly sharpening their weapons.

Liu Nian's sudden appearance immediately caught their attention.

"Huh? Who?" A troll guard with a scarred face suddenly stood up, grabbed the battle axe beside him, and stared at the "uninvited guest" with suspicion.

The other trolls also stood up, their eyes wary.

Liu Nian was already prepared: even if Manco made his men commit suicide and be resurrected, he wouldn't leave none behind; there would definitely be guards to watch over the supplies.

Therefore, he transformed into a troll ahead of time, all for this moment.

His face immediately contorted with arrogance as he gruffly said, "Look at you all! How can you be so unprepared?! I've been here for ages and you only just noticed! If I were the enemy, you'd probably be dead several times over by now!"

Liu Nian took the initiative to attack, and his domineering tone actually reassured the trolls.

Although they didn't recognize the newly appeared troll, since it was another troll that had come here, it must be one of their own.

However, since he was left here to guard so many supplies, besides being Manko's confidant, he must be a bit smarter than the other trolls, and he still has the necessary vigilance.

The scarred troll said, "Did King Manko send you?" He looked Liu Nian up and down. "Didn't they say the portal was destroyed and we couldn't travel back and forth for a while? How come it's suddenly repaired? Whose subordinate are you? I've never seen you before."

"I serve under Lord Lothar of the Western City. I retreated here with King Manko when the city fell," Liu Nian had prepared his explanation. "Although the portal was destroyed by those damned humans, His Majesty is wise and had prepared backup materials. His Majesty was worried about this place, so he built a one-time, one-way portal for me to come and check it out first. I'll have to commit suicide to go back in a bit!"

The scarred troll and the other trolls exchanged glances, their guard lowering considerably; it was normal that they didn't recognize Lothar's people.

One of the trolls said, "When will the portal be fixed? This place is fucking boring!"

Liu Nian scoffed, "Hmph, how would I know! How are the supplies? No problems, right?"

"What problems could there be? They're all piling up here. As long as we don't provoke those dragon-man ghosts, nothing will happen. It's so boring it's driving me crazy!"

Liu Nian circled the mountain of supplies, pretending to be inspecting them.

The scarred troll sheathed his weapon and followed behind, adopting an as benevolent expression as possible: "Brother, let's switch shifts! Don't kill yourself anymore. We'll kill ourselves first and go back to stay for a few days. I'll come back in a couple of days to relieve you!"

Liu Nian was secretly delighted upon hearing this, but his expression turned grim: "How can this be? I won't do it!"

"No!" the scarred troll cried out urgently, "I'll pay! 300 gold coins a day!"

"I'll pay five hundred!"

"I'll go up to eight hundred!"

The three trolls actually started fighting over it.

They couldn't stand this awful place for even a quarter of an hour! Now that a new person has finally arrived, we definitely need to find a way to keep him here!

Seeing that the three trolls were about to fight, Liu Nian felt that the time was right.

"Alright, alright! For the sake of our clan, I'll only stay for two days!" Liu Nian said impatiently. "One thousand per person, plus a mythical piece of equipment. Less than that, no discussion!"

The three trolls were overjoyed and immediately started spending money and equipment!

"Thank you!"

"Brother, you're such a good person!"

"Don't worry, we'll be back to relieve you in two days! We're not lying!"

They'll go crazy if they stay here any longer!! As for changing shifts? Hah, how could that be…

The three paid the money and immediately committed suicide without hesitation! They were afraid that Liu Nian would change his mind!

Liu Nian looked at the three guys who turned into white light and the equipment that each of them dropped, and found it amusing.

I reckon Manco will go crazy when these three guys get back!

Looking at the mountain of supplies, Liu Nian immediately began moving them!

This place mainly contains supplies that cannot be stored in storage space, such as boxes of magical metal ingots, large quantities of various magical stones, mountains of high-quality leather and magical beast materials, hundreds and thousands of well-maintained armor and weapons, boxes containing magical scrolls and blanks, and dismantled war weapons, etc.

Liu Nian showed no mercy, summoning the behemoth and having it swallow all the supplies it saw, leaving nothing behind.

Of course, because there were so many supplies, it took four trips to move them!

The moving operation lasted for more than an hour.

When the last crate was emptied, Liu Nian looked at the empty camp and cave with satisfaction and clapped his hands.

……

At this moment, Manco was listening to the Scarface Troll's report, and the more he listened, the more he frowned.

When did he build the one-time teleportation portal? And where did he get the materials to build it?

Could it be that Zuljin did it behind my back?

That's impossible! He simply doesn't have the method to create a portal!

Who would that be?

After finding out the guy's name, Manco went to investigate who this guy named Casca was.

A moment later, the troll Kaska stood in front of Manco, looking completely bewildered.

Manco looked at this guy and understood perfectly well.

He's been played!

The scarred troll was also deathly pale.

They used to think that "Casca" was too stupid for not adding him as a friend! They finally got out of there, how could they possibly go back to relieve him!

Looking back now, I wonder how the other person must have been cursing them for being stupid!

Manco's head was buzzing at that moment!

He was absolutely furious!!

Who on earth is it that's targeting even his last remaining assets?

Since the other party was able to get in, it means they have already mastered the methods of getting in and out.

Does that mean he's lost all his supplies?

His last savings, painstakingly transferred at great risk, the capital he had prepared for a comeback... all gone?!

Who the hell is this?!
