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

Silent all night.

The next morning, Yun Xiangrong and Liu Nian, who had transformed into Kal'tsit, were teleported directly to the obelisk outside the East Gate.

"Our primary objective is to activate all the waypoints along this route to the east." He pointed to several gray markers on the map. "Following this road, first go to Ironforge, then Graystone Keep, then Hammerfall, Windmill... about seven or eight points."

Yun Xiangrong looked at the winding route on the map, her lips twitching slightly: "How long will this take?"

"With a flying mount, three days should be enough."

"Three days?!" Yun Xiangrong's eyes widened. "We're just going to fly in the sky for three days? And do absolutely nothing?"

Liu Nian glanced at her: "Of course not. I picked up a few quests from the Bounty Hunter Guild this morning, all along this route—clearing out monsters, collecting materials, and stuff like that. I did them on the side, and I also earned some reputation and crystal coins."

Yun Xiangrong sighed.

But she quickly cheered up again.

Because she thought about it again, wasn't this just like taking a three-day trip with Liu Nian?

We're still in the sky!

The only pity is that Liu Nian's current form is Kal'tsit.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Yun Xiangrong said.

Liu Nian summoned the little fire dragon, and the two of them climbed onto its back.

The little dragon flapped its wings and soared into the air.

Yun Xiangrong hugged Liu Nian's waist—or more accurately, hugged "Kal'tsit's" waist—and the feeling was a little awkward.

But she was soon captivated by the view before her.

From the air, Ovitan resembles a giant jewel set in the wasteland. Its walls stand tall, towers rise majestically, and people bustle about within. In the distance, rolling mountains and forests appear mysterious and vast under the golden light of the sky.

"It's so big..." Yun Xiangrong murmured.

Liu Nian didn't even turn his head: "Don't touch me!"

Two hours later, the two arrived at their first mission location—a withered forest.

[Task: Eliminate the Corrupted Treants (0/50)]

Liu Nian glanced down from the air and saw that the area below was densely packed with tree spirits, ranging in level from 100 to 110.

Liu Nian had the little fire dragon lower its altitude, and once it was within attack range, Yun Xiangrong waved her staff, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking directly into the densest group of tree spirits.

"boom--!"

Lightning exploded, and seven or eight tree spirits were charred black by the electric shock.

But more tree spirits were alarmed, and they let out low growls, baring their fangs and claws at the sky.

Some tree spirits can extend their arms, while others can spray out highly poisonous spikes.

However, it was slow and was easily dodged by Charmander.

The little fire dragon breathed its dragon breath, and Yun Xiangrong kept throwing lightning magic down, killing the tree spirits in just a few minutes.

After collecting the dropped items, they continued on to the next location.

As they flew forward to explore, they encountered other challengers and bosses along the way, but Liu Qingnian easily dealt with them all.

Yun Xiangrong's combat power is much stronger than before after becoming a descendant of the Divine Dragon!

Occasionally, she would transform into a dragon to familiarize herself with new fighting styles.

They fought, completed quests, and activated small teleportation obelisk stations along the way. Around noon, they arrived at the first large location marked on the map—Ironforge Town.

The little fire dragon landed beside the obelisk outside Ironforge Town.

Liu Nian jumped off the dragon's back, followed closely by Yun Xiangrong, who curiously looked around at the town in front of them.

Tielu Town is built against the mountain, with gray-black stone walls stretching from the foot of the mountain all the way to the middle. The town is not big, but it has a strong sense of life – you can hear the clanging of blacksmiths from afar, and the air is filled with the smell of coal and metal.

"This place...it feels like a huge mine?" Yun Xiangrong sniffed.

Liu Nian nodded: "Tielu Town, as the name suggests, is famous for its mining and forging."

The two entered the town.

The town was laid out in a very orderly fashion—the main street ran straight from the town gate to the top of the mountain, with various shops on both sides. The most eye-catching were the blacksmith shops, belching black smoke, with all kinds of swords and armor displayed at their entrances, and the clanging of hammering metal echoing throughout.

The streets were bustling with people, mostly dwarves and gnomes, with the occasional human or elf. Their levels were generally low; Liu Nian glanced around and saw the highest was only around level 130.

"This seems to be a gathering place for low-level players," Yun Xiangrong said.

Liu Nian nodded: "Those below level 130 are perfect to hang out here."

He pointed to a building in the center of the town: "That's a teleportation array. Let's activate it first."

The two walked to the teleportation array. It was a three-meter-tall obelisk, its base covered in runes, emitting a faint blue light. Liu Nian reached out and touched it—

[Ding! You have activated the teleportation point: Ironforge Town.]

Get it done.

Liu Nian withdrew his hand and looked around.

Just then, he saw several figures standing at the street corner—green scales, narrow vertical pupils, and snake tails swaying slowly on the ground.

Snake-man.

There were four of them, ranging in level from 120 to 135. They were selecting equipment in front of a blacksmith's shop, and one of them occasionally looked up, his gaze sweeping across the street.

Liu Nian turned around without making a sound, his back to them.

"What's wrong?" Yun Xiangrong noticed his unusual behavior.

Liu Nian lowered his voice: "There are snake people. Four of them."

Yun Xiangrong frowned: "Looking for you?"

"It must have been a coincidence," Liu Nian said, "but it just so happens."

A slight smile played on his lips as he turned back and walked toward the snake-men.

He wanted to lure the snake out of its hole.

"Let's go take a look around."

When Liu Nian (Kal'tsit) passed by those snake people, she deliberately stopped for a moment before pulling Yun Xiangrong along the main street with a look of panic.

The snake people naturally saw the two of them. Liu Nian noticed that they didn't follow, but were chatting privately with someone.

Liu Nian didn't care. If it worked, it worked; if it didn't, there was no loss.

The layout of Ironforge Town is very simple—the market and blacksmith shops are at the foot of the mountain, the inns and taverns are on the mountainside, and the union branch and the mayor's office are at the top of the mountain.

The market was filled with various ores and forging materials—iron ore, copper ore, tin ore, and even rare meteorite iron. Liu Nian casually inquired at a few shops, and the prices were slightly cheaper than in Ovitan, but for business purposes, the cost of transporting them to Ovitan would be roughly the same.

"You two are new here, aren't you? Our specialty is ore," a dwarf stall owner enthusiastically introduced. "That mine over there produces thousands of kilograms of various ores every day. If you'd like to mine, you can rent a pickaxe from the guild; you can earn about ten crystal coins a day!"

Liu Nian nodded and didn't linger.

Continuing uphill, we arrived at the hotel area halfway up the mountain.

This place was noticeably more lively. Several NPCs stood outside the taverns, soliciting business, while a noisy commotion emanated from within. Players gathered in small groups, some drinking and chatting, others forming teams and recruiting.

"Recruiting tanks and healers to farm the mine dungeon!"

Buying black iron ore, bulk purchase, price negotiable!

"Anyone want to do the 'Clear the Cavemen' mission together? We need two more people!"
