Having seen his share of ups and downs, he quickly regained his composure and apologized to Liu Nian.
That's understandable, considering my current appearance isn't great either!
He Xi was completely unharmed, but his spirits were a little low.
He couldn't remember how he fainted, so he had no idea what happened afterward.
It seems that both of them have lost their memories of what happened afterward. After exchanging a glance, they decided to get up and try to wake the other person up, because perhaps he knows the truth!
"Li Ya, Li Ya, wake up!" He Xi recognized the man and shook Li Ya's body, trying to wake him up.
Li Ya, lying in the blood, twitched his eyelids violently for a moment before slowly opening his eyes.
His gaze shifted from clear to confused as he looked around, seemingly searching for something.
When he saw the vampire behind Liu Nian, his eyes quickly turned to fear.
Just as the two were about to ask him if he knew what happened next, they saw him kneeling on the altar with his head in his hands, curled up like an ostrich, making terrified cries.
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"
In the darkness, the cry was particularly eerie, and Liu Nian felt a chill creep up her spine, pulling her wolf-skin cloak tighter around her.
It seemed he had also been quite traumatized; the two exchanged a helpless glance.
He Xi patted Li Ya on the back at the altar, trying to calm him down.
He Xi was capable of protecting himself and declined Liu Nian's offer to have a skeleton guard the area.
He had just seen a torch fall off at the edge of the altar, so he went over, picked it up, and lit it.
Not bad, it still works.
After lighting the torches, the altar became brighter. After doing this, he took out a firework-shaped barrel from his waist and shot it into the sky.
The words "Peerless City" in green illuminated the sky above the altar.
After seeing that the two were able to take care of themselves, Liu Nian left the altar. Before that, Liu Nian had already ordered Da Hei to lead his troops to guard the surrounding area.
After identifying the direction of the mass grave, he led his summoned creatures towards the pile of corpses.
I felt like something was off, and I needed to go back and check it out to feel at ease.
Above Liu Nian, the vampire lazily stretched and looked in the direction of the altar with an ambiguous expression.
The former mass grave is now a ruin, with an irregular, deep pit replacing it.
Looking at the deep, bottomless crater, Liu Nian began to doubt his chances of surviving such an explosion.
After summoning these creatures, his mana was completely depleted, demonstrating the intensity of the explosion.
The edge of the pit was very smooth, and he had no desire to go down and explore it, because the bottom of the pit was covered with various carbonized tissues and poisoned, rotting flesh residue.
Walking barefoot on the edge of the deep pit, the ground was a bit rough, and you could clearly feel the slippery texture of flesh on your skin.
Finally, Liu Nian saw Idaril's body, which lay quietly at the edge of the deep pit.
Liu Nian originally didn't plan to come, because he wasn't sure if it was dead.
If it were to come back to life, things would get really funny!
However, the necromancy can passively sense the surrounding corpses and pop out the corresponding necromancy units.
Only when the summoning spell passively reminded him whether to use it to summon the corpse did Liu Nian realize that it was completely dead.
Even after the tiger's death, its power remained; Liu Nian could still feel a tremor deep in his soul when he approached it.
After using the Summoning Technique, this dialog box will pop up when you are in the recruitment settlement panel.
[Summon the Abyss Lord?]
[Required Soul Power: 2000 points]
Two thousand points of soul power? I couldn't even reach that requirement by sacrificing myself.
After losing the Undead Amulet, Liu Nian only had 110 points of soul power left due to his level bonus, which was far from enough to summon the Abyss Lord.
However, the fact that it takes so much soul power to summon this being also proves its power, after all, it is an avatar of a god.
It shouldn't have been poisoned, since I didn't gain any experience points.
This should also be considered boss level, right?
Shortly after, a convoy sped toward the location.
Upon seeing the convoy arrive, Liu Nian also walked back to the altar.
He Xi invited Liu Nian to return to the city together, and Liu Nian did not refuse.
If we were to walk back, it would take forever.
Moreover, going barefoot without shoes is a form of torture.
Liu Nian sat alone in the car, with only the driver in front.
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat somber.
Liu Nian was already used to the silent atmosphere, and her thoughts drifted as she pondered the profits from this transaction.
Curiosity killed the cat, and this time the losses were severe!
We didn't gain any experience or equipment, and we also lost two wraiths to deal with heavily armored units and one Black Knight to hold the line.
Not to mention the full set of equipment, plus a permanent injury.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I simply stopped thinking about it.
His optimistic personality made him feel much better.
Luckily, I still have a world-class gold treasure chest that I haven't opened yet. I was originally planning to keep it as a bottom-level treasure, but now I can finally use it.
It can replenish the crowns I urgently need right now; as for the rest, I'll deal with them when they're available.
Of course, don't open it now. Don't forget that you can't move for thirty seconds while opening the treasure chest, otherwise it won't be good if something unpleasant happens.
Fortunately, I had booked a month's stay at the Rose Hotel; otherwise, I would have been truly penniless and might have faced the embarrassing situation of sleeping on the streets.
As for borrowing money? Even in a society governed by the rule of law, it's so difficult to borrow money. Do you expect someone to lend you money in the apocalypse?
Besides, I don't know anyone well enough to lend me money.
Tragically, none of the others had brought spare clothes, so Liu Nian could only awkwardly wrap herself tighter in her cloak.
However, the others didn't have time to laugh at Liu Nian; they were too shocked to speak.
Everyone was discussing how the character surrounded by that group of summoned creatures must be incredibly powerful.
After getting into the car, Liu Nian put the summoned creature back into his spatial storage, leaving only the vampire to follow, which caused them to gasp in amazement.
It's better to guard against petty people than honest people. I need some kind of protective force to feel at ease. Right now, I'm incredibly vulnerable.
The way back didn't pass through the mass grave, but instead took a long detour, as the mass grave had truly become a deep pit, impassable to vehicles and horses.
The car was parked directly in front of the Rose Hotel.
It's unclear how they relayed the message, but upon reaching the door, a man dressed as a butler pulled out a set of clothes and handed them to Liu Nian from outside the car.
Fortunately, it was dark, so Liu Nian wasn't embarrassed.
This act of kindness in his time of need greatly increased his goodwill towards He Xi.
After getting dressed, He Xi chatted briefly with Liu Nian before leaving.
After watching the convoy leave, Liu Nian turned and went into the hotel.
Meanwhile, inside a room in an unknown city.
A middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table was listening to the report from the visitor.
The person who arrived looked travel-worn, clearly having come from a long journey.
After instructing his servants to treat the visitors well, the middle-aged man picked up his teacup.
The visitor bowed and followed the servant to rest.
"Don't tell Madam about Xiaotian's death for now!" The middle-aged man said calmly, his face expressionless.
“Yes, sir,” said an unassuming butler behind him.
"I want to be alone for a while, Ye Feng."
Ye Feng was shocked. The old man rarely called him by his name anymore, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Yes, sir."
After Ye Feng left, the middle-aged man put down his teacup heavily.
The fine porcelain was slammed onto the table and smashed to pieces, and tea splashed onto his sleeves, which were his favorite teaware.
This shows that the inner world of middle-aged people is not as calm as it appears on the surface.
"The World Society? How dare you!" the middle-aged man muttered darkly.
