The six of them initially thought it was just a bunch of skeletons, and they were still somewhat hopeful.
At this level, if the six of them gripped their weapons tightly, they might not be unable to put up a fight!
A steady stream of ghouls then entered the room from outside.
The six men froze, their backs drenched in cold sweat, their hands gripping their weapons slick with perspiration.
That wasn't all. A heavy scraping sound of steel scraping against the floor came from outside the door, and the atmosphere became tense. They swallowed hard.
Two black-armored warriors entered the room first, followed by Liu Nian.
The appearance of a summon of this caliber greatly alarmed them.
The six people inside were somewhat bewildered, secretly blaming their companions at the door for provoking such a person.
As for the rebellious thoughts that had just surfaced, they were all thrown to the winds.
They're not even in the same league, how can they possibly fight?
The companion at the entrance was also wronged. This mage had no sportsmanship. He came alone. Who knew he would have so many summoned creatures?
If he had known that Liu Nian would summon so many creatures, he wouldn't have dared to provoke him even if he had ten times the courage.
Pretending to be a pig to eat a rat, how despicable!
If his companions knew this from beyond the grave, they would surely be babbling on their way to the underworld.
Liu Nian remained silent, his hidden judge's eyes scrutinizing the six people before him.
The good and evil values of these six people are no less than those of the person at the door, indicating that they have committed more killings.
Having seen this, Liu Nian already had an idea in mind.
None of these people should be let go!
As for the little girl, Liu Nian glanced at her attributes.
Wow! It's no wonder that even Liu Nian couldn't help but admire her after she started gathering information.
He looks to be in his early twenties. How did he manage to be someone who isn't even a beginner?
Even Snow White isn't as fair-skinned as you, really.
I'm speechless!
Well, saving her is just a side option.
It's impossible to carry it, absolutely impossible!
Perhaps dying at the hands of these people would be merciful to her; she's no longer suited to the outside world!
After distinguishing between primary and secondary matters, Liu Nian was not in a hurry.
He wanted to see what these people had to say.
It would be even better if they could fight amongst themselves! That would save us a lot of trouble!
Hearing the sounds of flesh being torn apart and being swallowed at the door, the six people shuddered.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward; the mage on the other side didn't seem to be planning to speak first.
The captain looked around at his brothers and could tell from their eyes that they had no fighting spirit at all.
The captain swallowed hard, a fawning smile spreading across his face as he looked at Liu Nian: "That brother was blind and offended you. We hope you will be magnanimous and spare our lives."
Having just heard the screams at the door, and now hearing the sounds of eating outside, he concluded that his brother at the door was probably in grave danger.
Now he's taking a gamble, and this person is also here to reap benefits.
If he made a mistake, another cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This problem is too serious for him to handle.
Hearing the leader's almost obsequious reply, Liu Nian did not relax, nor did he immediately respond.
Liu Nian didn't respond, and the atmosphere became tense again.
The leader's back was now soaked with sweat, and an invisible pressure was pressing down on him.
The monk remained expressionless; unsure of the other party's attitude, he dared not speak rashly.
Now the initiative is in someone else's hands, and he can only lower his head and wait for the other party's reply.
As if waking from a dream, Liu Nian lazily said, "You think you can settle this privately with just one sentence?"
The leader was shrewd; he immediately recognized that this was an attempt to solicit favors and was overjoyed.
It's best to avoid fighting this person if possible. After all, the wealth was obtained for nothing, and it's still better to keep some for yourself.
He thought this in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.
The leader decisively pulled out the cards he had just acquired from his pocket, while winking at his subordinates: "What are you all standing there for? The big boss has shown us mercy and spared our lives, so hand over the stuff now?"
The subordinates noticed their leader's subtle movements and understood that he was telling them to hide some things.
It's impossible to hand them all over; even if it were true, Liu Nian wouldn't believe it.
Human nature is something no one can truly fathom.
Liu Nian watched as the leader put down his weapon and came alone carrying a large bag.
The skeleton warriors blocking the way made way, and Liu Nian gestured for him to put the bag on the open ground.
He's a cautious person, the leader thought.
Seeing the horde of corpses surrounding him, he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Thankfully, I didn't cheat!
Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.
After Liu Nian waited for him to step back, she went up and opened the bag to take a look.
The bag contained several thousand crowns and a number of cards.
Sure enough, getting rich depends entirely on...
Although she thought about it, Liu Nian didn't say it out loud.
Seeing the one-eyed man opposite her put the bag into his backpack, Lu Jiaqi felt utterly hopeless. Sure enough, all the survivors nowadays were birds of a feather.
As expected, the scene of a hero coming to the rescue of a damsel in distress on auspicious clouds only exists on television; it doesn't exist in reality.
Watching the other party accept the bribe, the leader anxiously awaited Liu Nian's verdict.
"This woman is quite attractive." If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. And if you're going to play the greedy guy, how can you do without a beautiful woman?
Let's just create a character who's greedy and lustful!
The captain is now facing a dilemma. If he doesn't give it to them, the initial investment has already been made, and giving up halfway will only harm himself and others.
If I give it to them, I'll lose my trump card to restrain them. What if they're only after my life?
what to do?
The leader hesitated. This was their last trump card. Should they give it to him or not?
Liu Nian remained expressionless. He liked negotiating with smart people because they thought too much, and the more they thought, the more loopholes they could exploit.
However, don't give them too much time.
Have you been thinking about this for so long? Don't you have any pride, big shot?
You need to clearly understand your situation!
"Hmph." Liu Nian snorted coldly, and the summoned creatures around him took a step forward appropriately.
This step neither provokes war, nor hinders them, but also puts pressure on them and allows them to express their dissatisfaction.
A win-win situation!
Huang Mao and his gang saw this and were anxious.
"Captain, I think we should just give it to him. If we anger him, our lives will be in danger."
"Yeah, since we've already gambled, let's go all the way. If we don't gamble now, we'll lose everything."
"If you're not happy, then let's fight. Captain, just say the word, and I'm willing to be the first to charge, so I won't feel so stifled."
"Don't listen to his nonsense. She's just a woman. You gave her away, so what? You wouldn't be thinking of keeping her for yourself, would you?"
"Whose lives are more important, the lives of my brothers or this woman?"
The crowd whispered their advice to the leader, saying that his life was at stake and he couldn't be careless.
Finally, the leader was persuaded by everyone and looked at Liu Nian in the distance with a big smile: "I was confused. It's perfect for you if you like this. I'll send it over to you right away!"
The leader untied the ropes binding Lu Jiaqi's hands and pushed her toward Liu Nian.
Lu Jiaqi's legs went weak. Surrounded by numerous spirits, this was a scene she had never experienced before.
The one-eyed mage showed no mercy whatsoever; he simply watched coldly without offering any help.
Ugh, I want to go home!
Lu Jiaqi had no choice but to force herself to keep walking.
Just when you've escaped one tiger's den, you've stumbled upon another!
I don't know if this counts as luck or not?
