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

However, forging this thing would take some time, so everyone continued to stroll around as usual.

Many people bought a map from the giant NPC. Although the map was very simple, it at least marked the locations of the major forces in the area, including key forces such as the Mushroom Kingdom and the Salamander Nest.

Liu Nian wandered around for a while, and seeing that there was nothing new or interesting, he joined the others in the square.

To welcome them, the giants lit a magical bonfire and offered them hot food.

The light from the campfire shone on everyone's faces and also on the enormous, sapphire-like igloos.

Looking at all this, Liu Nian was filled with wonderful feelings. From the intricate and passionate dwarf kingdom to the exotic mushroom tribe, and then to the primitive and magnificent giant's house, this cyber hell world, besides being cruel, also has a lot of wonders.

And they, the Dragon Abyss Guild, are leaving their footprints step by step in this vast world, weaving their own legend.

The first night spent in this snow-covered tribe of giants is destined to become an unforgettable chapter in everyone's memory.

Another half hour later, Old Chen arrived in front of Liu Nian, carrying the newly made legendary boots.

This was agreed upon before the battle; the first pair of boots would be given to Liu Nian.

Liu Nian didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took the boots from Old Chen and put them on.

The Shadow Step directly provides 50 Agility, 1250 Energy, 200 Stamina, 35% Movement Speed, and 20% Evasion.

Furthermore, agility, energy, and stamina will continue to grow with level.

The main reason is that the three affixes on these shoes are very useful, especially now that we have teleportation, there are so many things we can do with them.

After resting overnight in the Frost Giants tribe, the members of the Dragon Abyss Guild awoke refreshed and full of energy.

With such a powerful potential ally, everyone agreed to deepen their relationship. So early in the morning, they went out to find the giants to ask if there were any missions they could take on. In the end, only the giant leader Ymir, whom Wuzhan had asked, had a mission. However, it could only be taken by one person and could only be completed by inviting a maximum of four people to cooperate.

"In the lava river basin of the south lives a group of pesky fire lizards. They have been our enemies for generations, and they frequently harass us, taking advantage of their size and burrows. Although we have maps of their nests and have discovered a hidden path leading directly to the mother nest, we cannot enter their narrow burrows... If you could send someone in to infiltrate and destroy their eggs, it would greatly weaken their future power!"

[Mission: Burn the nest and destroy the eggs!]

[Mission Objective: Infiltrate the salamander nest in the southern lava river basin and destroy at least 20 salamander eggs.]

[Mission Note: The Salamander Nest has a complex and dangerous terrain; it is recommended that an elite team of no more than 5 people undertake this mission.]

[Quest Rewards: Players who participate in the quest will receive +2000 favorability with the Frost Giants tribe, 1 Miniature Ice Core Crystal per player, and an Ancient War Totem Pole - Extreme Cold Tide.]

Currently, after Wang Mu left, the Longyuan Guild only has four players above level 50:

Thunderstorm Mage - Yun Xiangrong, Level 54

Jiang Yi, a level 54 sorcerer from the Abyss

Silent Guest Lin Ying, Level 53

Arcane Guardian Du Weize, Level 52

……

This task obviously requires mobility, so Du Weize was the first one to be ruled out because he is a melee mage tank with good survivability, but poor mobility and average output, making him unsuitable.

The other three people besides him are all suitable:

Yun Xiangrong is a high-output character who also possesses a mage's teleportation skill.

Jiang Yi possesses powerful summoning and support abilities, as well as both offensive and defensive capabilities. Most importantly, he can achieve group invisibility.

Lin Ying is a super assassin, a perfect fit for this mission.

After discussion, Yin Qianyu, a level 48 assassin, and Liu Nian were selected to join the team.

The former is a highly mobile ranged single-target physical damage dealer, while Liu Nian is practically a bug, and now he also has the teleportation ability attached to his legendary shoes, making him top-notch in terms of tactics and survivability.

Wu Zhan said, "You five, be careful. This mission isn't primarily about combat, but rather infiltration and sabotage! Make good use of Jiang Yi's group invisibility skill, and return immediately once the mission is complete!"

All five nodded, and then Yun Xiangrong, who was the highest level, accepted the task.

The remaining members continued leveling up, while the five-person team bid farewell to the main force and headed south along the route map provided by the giant.

The initial part of the journey went exceptionally smoothly. The ice cave passage was completely silent, and even the usual shadow bats and burrowing worms were nowhere to be seen.

Clearly, the Frost Giant's powerful aura was enough to intimidate most underground creatures, making this area a relatively safe territory.

"It seems the name of the giant is quite useful; we haven't seen a single strange figure along the way," Yin Qianyu said in a low voice.

"We'd better not be careless, things could get complicated once we leave this area," Yun Xiangrong calmly reminded him.

Sure enough, the environment began to change after they crossed the huge ice crevasse at the boundary.

The surrounding temperature gradually rose, the ice was replaced by rough rocks, and traces of monsters began to appear.

First, they encountered a group of [Crystal Scorpions (LV.38)]. These scorpions were entirely like citrine, and their tails could shoot out sharp crystal shards.

However, Yun Xiangrong instantly killed a large number of scorpions with a single [Chain Lightning], and then Jiang Yi strangled the rest with [Shadow Encirclement Kill]... The battle ended in ten seconds, clean and efficient, and Liu Nian didn't even have time to stretch his muscles.

They then passed a huge underground lake, its water as black as ink, with glowing reeds growing on its banks that seemed to be a kind of medicinal herb.

There seemed to be ruins of a building protruding from the center of the lake, but they were too far away to see clearly. The group didn't have time to waste here, so they didn't explore and instead walked around the lake.

After walking for another half day, when they passed through a rocky forest, several [Petrified Lizards (LV.41)] tried to launch a sneak attack from behind the stone pillars. Lin Ying detected them in advance, and Jiang Yi immediately summoned several [Void Walkers] to kill them with the help of the spears thrown by Yin Qianyu.

Liu Nian knew that now was not the time to boost his stats, so he obediently followed behind the others as a buffer.

They continued to advance, and a canyon formed by the erosion of a magma tributary began to appear ahead. They discovered some exposed [Molten Gold Ore] that shimmered with red light and [Elemental Springs] that flowed with liquid energy.

Unfortunately, no one in the team had learned mining or gathering skills, so they could only sigh in despair, memorize the coordinates, and continue on their way.

The closer they got to the south, the stronger the smell of sulfur in the air became, and the rocks under their feet began to scorch. In the distance, they could hear the deep rumble of a lava river. When they finally stepped onto the edge of the lava river basin, a wave of heat hit them.
