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

She was screaming inwardly.

Even at level 121, I was being chased so hard that a level 104 player would not only be useless but would also be a hindrance!

But it's too late to turn back now—she was the one who lured those snake people here in the first place, and if she runs away, this newbie will definitely become the next target.

And... what if these snake people think he's one of her accomplices?

Wouldn't he have just been throwing his life away for nothing?

She gritted her teeth and made a decision.

"Run!!!" she shouted at Liu Nian, "Run now!!!"

Liu Nian: ?

He stood there, looking completely bewildered.

Run? Where to run?

I just got here, I don't even know where I am, where am I supposed to go?

Besides, why should I run away?

"What are you standing there for?! Run!!!" The green-haired elf's voice cracked with urgency. "They're coming for me! Don't worry about me! Run!"

Liu Nian remained motionless.

He simply watched the elf getting closer and closer, then glanced at the group of pursuers behind her, his brows furrowing slightly.

What's going on?

Can someone explain this to him?

Did I trigger some plot event, or did I just happen to encounter a chase?

Seeing that he didn't move, the green-haired elf became so anxious that her eyes turned red.

Is this person stupid? Is he stupid?!

He got away, but you're still standing there!

She gritted her teeth, decided to ignore it all, and forcibly carried him away!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

She rushed to Liu Nian, bent down, and prepared to lift him up on her shoulder.

Suddenly, with a whoosh, I felt like I had bumped into a giant dragon.

The other party didn't budge an inch!

Instead, it made her head ache.

Liu Nian wasn't unable to avoid it; he just thought... it was actually quite interesting.

This elf actually wants to carry me?

"What are you doing?" Liu Nian grabbed her hand, preventing her from exerting any more force.

The elf stood up, his eyes wide, and his mouth formed an "O".

"What...what's wrong with you?!"

She's level 121. Even though strength isn't her specialty, she shouldn't be unable to carry a level 104 newbie, right?

Is this person a piece of granite that grows out of the ground?!

Before she could recover from her shock, the pursuers had already caught up with her.

The elf cried out urgently, "Hey! Let go!"

Liu Nian was still holding the elf's little hand. His strength was too great; the elf couldn't break free at all!

Liu Nian didn't want to let go.

Because he didn't understand what was going on. Although the snake-man on the other side looked like a villain, appearances can be deceiving.

What if things turn out the other way around? Wouldn't I be the unlucky one?

The snake-men surrounded them in a circle, each wearing a mocking smile.

The leading female snake-woman slithered to the front, her tail twisting, and looked down at Liu Nian. Her gaze swept over him, finally settling on the rank displayed above his head, and then—

"puff."

She smiled.

"Oh?" Her voice was shrill and piercing, like fingernails scraping against glass. "Look at this! A human?"

The snake people around her also started laughing.

"Level 104! Hahahaha!"

"Did they just crawl out of the starting village?"

"That's hilarious, Kal'tsit! You actually asked a level 104 newbie for help!"

Liu Nian frowned slightly, not finding it funny at all.

Five snake-men, three lackeys of other races—a lizardman, an orc, and an unidentified hairy creature.

There are eight people in total.

These guys are around level 130 on average.

Liu Nian: The level is so low... I wonder if it's enough for me to punch.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Kal'tsit stood in front of Liu Nian and whispered:

"Hey, hand me over. I'm their target. That snake woman's brother is a top expert in the snake clan, level 199, fifth on the combat power ranking. You just leveled up; if you mess with them, things will get tough. Before they target you—"

Liu Nian looked down at her.

The woman who was just trying to carry him away is now blocking his way?

interesting.

The snake woman laughed even harder when she saw this.

"Oh my, that's quite sweet." She tapped her shoulder with her scimitar, her snake tail swaying leisurely. "But I can be very sweet too~ Hey, newbie!" She licked her lips, a cruel glint in her eyes:

"Since you've just been promoted, come here and lick my feet. Maybe I'll be in a good mood and spare your life!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the surrounding area.

The snake race doesn't have legs in their lower body, so this statement is a complete joke.

The snake-like players and their lackeys laughed uproariously, as if they could already foresee the fate of this poor human newbie.

Kal'tsit clenched her fist, about to speak—

"Your name is Kal'tsit?"

A calm voice came from behind her.

She turned around and saw Liu Nian staring expressionlessly at the group of snake people.

"Since you're so loyal, I'll help you deal with them."

These few level 130 individuals are not even as high-level as the few Mistfolk he encountered back then.

Those guys back then couldn't even withstand one punch from him, let alone these little Karamis now.

Kal'tsit was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, thinking to herself that this guy was a bit too arrogant and conceited!

The snake woman on the other side was already getting impatient:

"How arrogant! Kill him!"

Several lackeys immediately rushed up from behind her.

The lizardman was the fastest, taking the lead and thrusting his bone spear straight at Liu Nian's throat.

Liu Nian pulled Kal'tsit behind him and placed her in front of him, neither dodging nor avoiding.

The lizardman's face showed a hint of disdain.

That's it? You can't even dodge that! There's a 30-level difference between you. Watch me annihilate you!

The bone spear struck Liu Nian easily, but only one part popped out from above Liu Nian's head—

-12 (shield offset)

"How is this possible?!" The lizardman's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Despite having a level advantage of 30 and over 50 attack power, I only managed to deal 12 damage.

Is this kid going for a tanky build? Is he going all-in on defensive stats?

That shouldn't be the case! Could it be that the other party has some good equipment?

This kid's gear is really good! Looks like he's a powerful lone wolf player!

It's probably the kind of item that allows someone to ascend solo, purchased with contribution points earned during an ascension battle! (Similar to the one Matt bought.)

Generally speaking, these players have ridiculously high combat power!

The lizardmen thought to themselves, "It seems we've encountered one today!"

However, he wasn't afraid. Since this kid had focused all his points on defense, his agility and attack would definitely be lacking. Besides, players like this usually have good items on them!

Thinking of this, his greedy face regained its courage.

Liu Nian stared at the dumbfounded guy who had just poked him with a spear and then froze, staring straight at him.

Red dots had already appeared on the other person's body.

"What are you looking at?"

Liu Nian punched him!

"Duang—!!!"
