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

He glanced around and noticed two smaller, round pipes on either side of him at the bottom of the shaft. He guessed they were the paths to other areas, and that the cavemen probably came out from there.

As they were thinking about something, the three of them started flashing on their temporary channel.

Lie Lin asked anxiously, "Liu Nian! How are you?"

"It's okay. I just fell to the bottom of the shaft."

Chakner was quite ashamed: "Oh, it's all my fault for accidentally brushing against that mechanism with my tail..."

"You guys go ahead, I'll find my way to meet up with you."

"Are you sure you can manage on your own?" Lie Lin asked.

"No problem."

"Then be careful. We'll let you know as soon as we find the way!"

"it is good."

--------

Above the shaft, inside the main passage.

Riftscale closed the chat interface and turned to look at Chakna. The Dragon Demon was squatting on the ground, poking at a piece of shattered mechanical debris with its claws, a triumphant smile on its face.

"He won't notice, will he?" Chuckner asked without looking up.

Riftscale leaned against the wall, its snake tail swaying gently: "How could that be? You laid the groundwork for so long, making countless small moves along the way, he definitely wouldn't have thought of anything else."

Chuckner tossed the piece of wreckage aside, stood up, dusted off his paws, and grinned. "True. Who would suspect a dragon demon who's both impulsive and reckless?"

Lie Lin chuckled, "With him drawing the cavemen's fire down below, the pressure on our side is much less. Plus, that idiot Reinhardt—"

"You summoned him here to cause trouble for Liu Nian?" Chuckner asked.

"That's only one aspect." Lie Lin's vertical pupils narrowed slightly. "His role is the same as Liu Nian's—to share the burden for us!"

"Haha! That idiot actually believed there were items here that could make someone delete their account. How adorably stupid!"

Rift Scale exploited the grudge between Liu Nian and him, and then tricked him by saying that there were items here that could make people delete their accounts, which successfully fooled the cautious Reinhardt.

In addition, she had previously told Liu Nian that there were legendary or higher-level artifacts and eternal-level equipment here, which tricked Liu Nian into coming here as well.

In reality... she had no idea what was inside. All she knew was that what she needed most was here!

"Let's go!" Lie Lin turned and walked deeper into the passage.

Chakner followed behind, watching Lie Lin's retreating figure, the purple flame in his vertical pupils flickering.

Liu Nian was cannon fodder.

Reinhardt was also cannon fodder.

What about yourself?

On the chessboard of cracked scales, what role does he, Chuckner, play?

He paused for two seconds, then smiled and quickened his pace to catch up.

No matter what Lie Lin was planning, he had his own trump card. He wouldn't entrust his life to others, nor would he trust the cunning snake-man!

It's still uncertain who's plotting against whom.

While Lie Lin and the other two began their exploration, Liu Nian was also busy.

If Lie Lin was following a normal passage, then Liu Nian was essentially drilling through a sewer, which, strictly speaking, was actually more interconnected than a normal passage.

At this moment, Liu Nian had already summoned the Giant, released the Sun Devourer from its body, and then used the Boundary Breaker to return to the guild.

At this moment, in the tower of the guild's headquarters, almost all the players in the guild who were above level 150 had returned, totaling 1088 people.

During this period, no one else dared to provoke the people of the Divine Dragon Guild, so Liu Nian did not plan to leave anyone behind to guard the house. Instead, he simply sent them all to the Battlefield of the Heavens with him!

With the cooperation of the Breaker and the Giant, Liu Nian transferred all 1088 people into the vertical shaft.

The shaft is over 100 meters in diameter and at least 1 square meters in size. It could easily accommodate 8000 people, let alone 1000.

The smell here is just awful.

Liu Nian had everyone collect the items he had obtained from killing the cavemen, while he had the giant begin exploring the terrain.

Several passages extend in different directions within the shaft. Some are original pipes, while others show signs of artificial excavation at the edges of the openings. The rough chisel marks suggest that they were painstakingly created by something, which must have been done by cave dwellers.

The Big Mac scanned with its sonar, but the results were not ideal.

Something seems to be interfering with its detection, but it still managed to gather some information.

Unfortunately, Xiao Lan's level is too low now, so Liu Nian doesn't dare to use Xiao Lan easily here.

"Please note that the enemy's level and name will not be displayed here, and you won't know whether your opponent is a monster or a player. Just follow orders!"

Liu Nian brought his guild members along for one reason: he didn't want to waste such a good opportunity to level up!

All the monsters here are level 300 or higher, and Liu Nian is capable of killing them quickly, so there's no reason for him not to help everyone level up!

Even if he didn't gain anything this time, he would still be satisfied as long as he helped the guild members level up!

Secondly, he also needs help, since one person's strength is limited.

Through the exploration of the giant, Liu Nian chose a passage that had been dug out by man.

Liu Nian and Shi Ri led the team at the front, while the others followed cautiously behind Liu Nian. The team was quite long, with Wu Zhan, Wang Mu, Wang Mian, and other players who had a bond with Liu Nian (sharing 30% of Liu Nian's maximum health) scattered throughout the team. This was to prevent monsters from suddenly appearing from somewhere. They could at least hold them off and not be killed in one hit. They just needed to hold out until Liu Nian used the Breaker to provide support.

After all, if someone dies here, their level will be halved, and Liu Nian doesn't want anyone to drop in level instead of leveling up...

The passage didn't go far before turning into a narrow cave, barely wide enough for three people to pass side by side. The cave walls were made of natural rock strata, but rusted metal fragments, unknown skeletons, and occasionally some plants and fungi could be seen on the ground.

"Something's coming!" Devourer of the Sun whispered.

Liu Nian then raised his hand, signaling to stop.

"There's something ahead. A lot of it." His voice was low. "Thirty meters away, around the corner... coming this way!"

Liu Nian squinted his eyes.

In the darkness not far ahead, a pair of eerie green eyes lit up. Then came a second pair, a third pair, a fourth pair—a dense array of lights, lined up in the darkness like fireflies awakened from their slumber.

"These guys have eyes, they're different from the previous ones. I wonder if they're from another tribe," Liu Nian thought to himself.

The first figure rushed out from around the corner. It had grayish-white skin, moved on all fours, and was as fast as the wind. Its head was flat, it had no neck, three pairs of compound eyes were squeezed together, and its mouth split horizontally, revealing two rows of uneven yellow teeth.

Sun Eater's eyes lit up: "It's a variant of a caveman! Bone Eater, level 340 to 350. Around 30 billion HP."
