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

Liu Nian found this scene amusing.

This guy really has a bad temper, but he just pretended not to see it. As for Liu Nian, he couldn't wait for Chakna to cause some trouble so he could take advantage of the chaos to separate from these two people.

Knowing that the other party had ulterior motives towards him, he certainly didn't want to be led by the nose.

However, Liu Nian couldn't kill Lie Lin, as her engineering skills were very useful here. Moreover, given Lie Lin's bizarre resurrection abilities, Liu Nian might not be able to kill her quickly.

Just when I was thinking about when I could cause trouble, the opportunity came.

Another cross-section appeared ahead, again with a circular shaft in the middle. This one was wider than the previous one, at least 150 meters in diameter, and its depth was unfathomable. The entrance to the passage opposite the shaft was very small, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

Rift Scales spread its energy wings and flew over with practiced ease.

Chuckner spread his dragon wings and followed behind her. When they reached the center of the shaft, his tail "accidentally" brushed against a protruding device on the wall—

"Click."

A soft sound.

Chuckner's pupils contracted, and his wings began to flap wildly at an accelerated pace.

Liu Nian, who was gliding behind, squinted his eyes.

The next second, a mechanical turning sound came from deep within the passage. This time it wasn't the rusty, intermittent sound from before, but a clean, rhythmic rotation, like some precision instrument being awakened.

Lie Lin's expression changed.

The walls on both sides of the passage suddenly began to move without warning, closing in on each other!

The entire passageway resembled a hydraulic press, with the metal plates on both sides slowly and steadily pressing towards the center, producing a low rumbling sound.

At the same time, a mechanical device protruded from the wall on the ceiling in front of them.

It resembled an enlarged crossbow, but with a more complex structure—six barrels arranged in a circle, each as thick as an arm, their surfaces engraved with intricate runes. The muzzles were aimed at them, and the internal gears began to spin, emitting an increasingly loud hum.

"Damn it!" Lie Lin cried out, his figure transforming into a blur as he rushed forward.

Chuckner flapped his wings wildly and charged forward!

As the two rushed into the slowly closing passage, Liu Nian did not activate his transformation, but continued to glide at a leisurely pace.

He thought that the thing opposite him could shoot out a storm of metal like a Gatling gun, but he didn't expect it to shoot out an overwhelming barrage of energy beams!

Six gun barrels firing simultaneously!

A barrage of energy projectiles rained down like a storm, each one accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.

Look at the density of the bullets; it covers the entire cross-section of the channel with no blind spots. The designers of this thing clearly didn't intend for anyone to hide!

As Liu Nian glided along, he endured the energy blasts. He quickly realized that each shot from these things dealt more than ten million damage. If he were to take a full few seconds of damage, even billions of health points wouldn't be enough to evaporate!

In fact, Liu Nian could have easily charged through and withstood it. With his health and defense, he could have easily taken the hit for a few seconds.

But he didn't.

He pretended to collapse and fell towards the shaft.

"Liu Nian!" Lie Lin's voice came before the passage closed...

Boom!!

The passage closed, and Liu Nian fell into the dark shaft...

The wind whistled in my ears.

The walls of the shaft rose rapidly, the metal supports and pipes flashing past like tree rings. Liu Nian adjusted his posture, head down, legs slightly bent, like a falling cannonball.

After falling for about five seconds, Liu Nian saw the same cave dwellers as in the previous shaft.

They lay densely packed on the walls of the shaft, like a group of hunters poised to pounce and capture their prey that had fallen into the trap.

These cave dwellers were much larger than ordinary cave dwellers, almost the size of trolls. Their grayish-white skin was covered with a fine layer of calluses, like natural armor. Their limbs were thick and strong, with black, horny claws at their fingertips that were deeply embedded in the gaps of their metal frames.

What's most striking is their heads—flat, without necks, and attached directly to their shoulders, giving them a somewhat comical appearance.

These creatures are born of darkness; their eyes have largely degenerated, and they rely on sound to locate objects, hence their large ears.

In the darkness, Liu Nian saw that their mouths were split horizontally, revealing two rows of jagged, sharp teeth...

The weapons they used were also varied. Some carried stone axes, some held bone clubs, and a few had rusty metal parts—gears, connecting rods, pipes—hanging from their waists to use as hammers. The largest one at the front held a piece of metal door wreckage as a shield, with several sharpened steel pipes stuck in his back.

Liu Nian glanced at them and saw at least 50 or more.

They also noticed Liu Nian. The tallest and most robust guard leader had already loosened his claws and pounced on him, raising a metal rod haphazardly twisted from various metals high in his hand and slamming it down heavily on Liu Nian!

Liu Nian didn't dodge, but instead took the hit head-on to test the damage!

Bang! !

-214.25 million!

Liu Nian was struck by the metal rod, and his falling speed suddenly increased...

"Fortunately, the damage wasn't too outrageous." Liu Nian remembered that Lie Lin had mentioned that the monsters here were around level 350.

If this is true, then the huge difference in level will severely reduce Liu Nian's defensive attributes, meaning that this thing is almost as effective as dealing true damage to Liu Nian.

If you calculate it that way, these monsters aren't actually that powerful.

The biggest difference between monsters and players is actually the ratio of health points to damage.

Monsters generally have high health, but their damage is only average.

Players, on the other hand, can easily kill themselves with their own damage.

After Liu Nian hit the bottom, he discovered that the area below was also densely packed with cave dwellers; he was actually standing on the body of one of the cave dwellers.

At this moment, the cave dwellers above also jumped down...

The scene resembled ants swarming all over their prey...

Liu Nian unleashed a deafening roar!

A visible shockwave exploded from his body, like a bomb detonating in the center of the shaft.

In the confined space, the air was compressed into a white wave that spread in all directions, crashing against the walls of the shaft and sending up a shower of metal and rock fragments.

-16.8 billion! -15.9 billion! -17.2 billion! ...

The earth-shaking attack, originally worth eight billion damage, was reduced to less than seventeen billion due to level suppression, a reduction of more than 20%...

"Not a single one died?"

Liu Nian noticed that these cave dwellers were either stunned or knocked away.

He immediately followed up with an unstoppable move!

Boom! !

-51.2 billion! -52.4 billion! -54.5 billion!

At that moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere!

The cave dwellers were almost entirely wiped out in an instant.

Those who survived were all located relatively far away.

Liu Nian rushed over to finish off the attacker.

Duang ~

[Heart of Steel triggered, HP +10.35 million]

Liu Nian calculated that these things had a life value of around 35 billion.

Through the kill logs, Liu Nian was able to see their levels, which were mostly between 300 and 350.
