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

The goblin squad leader let out a piercing scream and frantically picked up the cold-temperature gun.

The other goblins also realized what was happening, and although their legs went weak with fear, their survival instincts made them pull the trigger.

laugh--! ! !

*Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!!*

Several streams of icy cold air shot out from the cold-temperature gun, enveloping the lava mayfly swarm at the forefront!

Low temperatures are the nemesis of these small fire elemental creatures!

"Hiss hiss hiss—!"

The lava mayflies, swept up by the cold air, let out a sharp, mournful cry. Their bodies quickly turned white and were eventually frozen into ice lumps, falling from the sky in large pieces and shattering into ice blocks upon hitting the ground.

The cold-temperature gun had an immediate effect, instantly clearing out a large portion of the mayfly swarm's vanguard.

Seeing this, the goblins were invigorated and sprayed cold air even more vigorously to block the swarm of insects.

After successfully diverting the trouble to the east, Liu Nian had already left the center of the battlefield and retreated to a huge rock, where he leisurely watched from the sidelines with his arms crossed.

He watched as the goblins frantically fought off the swarm of insects, the air thick with cold and the sounds of explosions, the fragments of mayflies, and the goblins' panicked curses filling the air.

"Freeze them! Freeze them to death!"

"Air conditioning! The air conditioning is running low!"

"Add ice cores quickly!"

"Over there! Another flock is flying in from over there! Turn around quickly!"

"Ah! It's crawled into my butt, my pants are on fire! Oh! It's still crawling in... oh... it's inside..."

……

The goblin players were in a tough fight.

Although they had targeted weapons, the number of lava mayflies was simply too great; Liu Nian had lured over almost the entire species!

The cold air gun consumes a lot of energy and has a limited coverage area. Mayflies kept breaking through the blockade of the cold air and exploding when they hit them. Although the individual damage was not high, it still made them very anxious and their health dropped sharply!

They weren't unaware of Liu Nian watching the show from behind; the coldness and mockery in his eyes sent chills down their spines.

"That black-haired bastard! He's staring at my butt!"

"Damn it! He did it on purpose!"

"Once...once I get rid of these bugs, I'm definitely going to disassemble him into parts and stuff them into the steamer!"

"Are you an idiot? Didn't you see he has black hair? He's the guy they were talking about on the channel!"

"What? Does that mean we're doomed...?"

These goblins had specifically gone back to borrow specialized weapons to deal with these mayflies, but they didn't expect to run into Liu Nian being trapped as soon as they arrived, and to make matters worse, Liu Nian diverted their troubles...

However, even now that they know Liu Nian has ill intentions, they are too busy taking care of themselves to spare any energy to deal with him.

Faced with the seemingly endless lava mayflies, they could only do their best, turning the power of the cooling gun to the maximum, frantically spewing out icy air, while simultaneously shouting for help in the channel.

Liu Nian was like the most patient hunter, waiting quietly.

He watched as the chilling aura emanating from the goblins' weapons thinned out, clearly indicating their energy was running out, and watched as their health was slowly whittled away by the mayflies' relentless, suicidal attacks.

Finally, when the last large swarm of mayflies turned into ice particles in the cold air, leaving only a few dozen scattered around, the goblins' cold-temperature guns also emitted empty "poof" sounds—their energy was exhausted.

Seven or eight goblin players were panting heavily, their bodies bearing burns and explosion marks, their health reduced to about half, and they were all in a sorry state.

Just then, the figure that they hated with a passion and feared with utter terror slowly emerged from behind the rock.

Liu Nian dusted himself off and looked at the group of exhausted goblins with fear in their eyes, and gave them a kind smile.

"Thank you for your hard work." He said calmly, "Now, let's talk about what you were saying about laughing at me earlier."

The goblins' faces turned deathly pale instantly.

Some tried to raise their empty cold-temperature guns and smash them, some tried to turn around and run away, and some simply collapsed to the ground.

But Liu Nian didn't give them any chance.

He strolled forward, watching the red dots gradually light up on their bodies, and grinned.

"Ah! Don't eat me!!"

"I didn't poop today..."

"Hero! I admire you!"

……

Liu Nian couldn't understand what they were saying either, so he punched each of them first.

Duang~Duang~Duang~

[Heart of Steel activated, HP +1268! +1155! +1359...]

Then, like cutting melons and vegetables, the seven or eight goblin players with low health didn't even last half a minute under Liu Nian's hands before turning into white light and returning to the respawn point.

[Soul Drain Strike activated, damage +10...]

[Hellish Curse activated: Armor, Magic Resistance, Ability Power +21...]

The experience bar jumped forward a little more.

After cleaning up, Liu Nian shook his hands and began to clean up the battlefield.

First, there are the items dropped by the goblins.

Besides the usual coins, potions, and materials, there was also the [useful goblin cooling gun] they used, a large number of various fire-attribute gems, and the items dropped by the squad leader:

[The Amazing Goblin Hole Saw: Compared to traditional hole saws, the Goblin Hole Saw guarantees a 100% success rate in creating holes in equipment, but the trade-off is that the equipment will only have one hole.]

[Incredible Equipment Shredder: Insert 1 silver coin to shred a piece of equipment into basic materials.]

Liu Nian had so many strange and unusual pieces of equipment that his backpack was almost full, and Echo's backpack also had quite a few.

Now we can use this to dismantle all the equipment.

Then, Liu Nian turned his gaze to the ground covered with the glistening mayfly debris.

These lava mayflies are pure fire elemental creatures. After they die, their bodies dissipate and condense into materials containing the essence of fire.

【Molten Core Shard x32】: The size of a pigeon egg, with warm tentacles and flowing flames inside, it is a common material for fire enchanting and alchemy.

【Pure Flame Particles x105】: Finer red crystal dust, gathered together like a small handful of burning sand, can be used to make fire resistance potions or as a casting material for low-level fire spells.

【Mayfly Fire Wings x4】: Well-preserved, translucent energy wings that are thin yet strong and emit stable heat. They are an excellent material for crafting light armor, cloaks, or special accessories and can add movement speed or fire resistance.

Besides materials, there was also a large amount of equipment, but only two pieces were suitable for Liu Nian:

An epic-level [Ember Cloak]: +30 Constitution and 15% Fire Resistance. Its special effect allows the wearer to disguise themselves as a swarm of lava mayflies for 30 seconds, during which time they are immune to 90% of physical damage and gain the ability to fly at low altitudes.

This item can replace the Shadow Rat skin you're wearing.

The other item is the Mythic-tier [Flamelight Bracers]: +180 Spell Power, single-target physical attacks deal 15% Fire damage based on spell power.

This is used to replace the Shadowclaw bracers on your hands.
