As the sun sets, a uniquely shaped carriage travels along a deserted mountain road. Who else could it be but Liu Nian?
The skeletal chariot traveled at full speed faster than a speeding sports car. The monsters wandering in the middle of the road could only see a gust of wind coming towards them before being mercilessly crushed by the wheels.
Liu Nian only felt the chariot jolt slightly before returning to normal.
The monster, crushed by the horse, ran wildly but failed to catch up with the chariot. After a moment of helpless rage, it dejectedly returned to its original spot, though the hoofprints on its face made it look somewhat comical.
Liu Nian, who was in the car, was unaware of this little incident, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. He forced himself to think about where the other person might be going.
A group of people with a little girl would need to find a place to rest, and they couldn't have gone far, so it must be somewhere nearby.
Walking would be suicide. They must have a means of transportation, but where would they go?
Although there are ravens all around acting as eyes and ears, there are so many places to hide. What if they are hiding in some hidden corner?
Completely clueless and having not encountered any passing vehicles on the road, Liu Nian finally decided to try his luck on the way to B City and hand over the escort mission along the way.
Before leaving, he secretly vowed that if that little girl was really murdered, he would spend his whole life hunting down the culprit!
Time ticked by, and as the system notified Liu Nian that night had fallen, he found himself unable to find a place to stay.
Surrounded by a dark wilderness, all he could do was keep the chariot moving forward.
The roars of night-walking monsters, the flapping of wings of flying monsters, and the ground monsters running alongside the chariot began to echo all around.
My anxiety needs an outlet. I don't want to run away anymore. If this place is destined to be my final resting place, then so be it.
After making the decision, they drove through a mountain tunnel, parked the car on the side of the road, lit a torch for lighting, and Liu Nian summoned his summoned creatures to prepare for battle!
As he watched the nocturnal monsters surge in like a tide, the image of the quiet little girl flashed through his mind, and the overwhelming sense of condemnation made him desperately need to vent.
Nothing can resolve emotions better than pain, whether it's your own or someone else's!
The undead army is ready, silently awaiting the arrival of the enemy.
The monsters on both sides of the tunnel were now close, their running and roaring colliding with the undead army.
The evil song heralded the start of the battle, and the roars of the monsters in the tunnel were as beautiful as a symphony.
"Come on, let's have a good fight! Hahahaha!!"
At this moment, Liu Nian was as frantic as a demon from hell, wanting only to vent and needing nothing more.
Skeleton warriors and ghoul legions each guard one side of the tunnel, while in the middle are ranged units. Wraiths roam around the ranged units to prevent them from being harassed by night-stalking monsters.
The cave demons kept a close watch on any flying units that dared to cross the line, and wiped them out in one fell swoop if they did. The rest was left to the mixed and ragtag army.
The twelve vampires stood guard around Liu Nian like bodyguards, dodging the flying monsters of ghosts and cave-dwelling demons that tried to interfere with Liu Nian and Tiffany's spellcasting.
Monsters also have their own combat intelligence, and they also feel that the casualties caused by mages are more serious.
However, they could not break through the defenses formed by the vampires; they would be torn apart by the vampires' sharp teeth and claws before they could even get close to Liu Nian.
Liu Nian, who was guarded at the core, transformed into a turret, unleashing death ripples mixed with bone spears mercilessly into the monster horde.
His ample mana was enough to sustain his consumption, and with the blessing of the Death Tarot card, his mana was showing a tendency to increase rather than decrease.
Once the corpses had accumulated to a certain extent, he used Corpse Explosion to clear the pile of corpses and damage the surrounding ground monsters.
And then the cycle repeats until it all ends!
Once he recovered from his frenzied killing spree, the nocturnal monsters in the tunnel began to retreat. They were also afraid, afraid of this man who had a bloodthirsty nature!
Compared to them, that man was more like a monster!
During the battle, the Skeleton Resurrection spell revived the skeleton warriors ahead of time.
Then, after the battle, the Eternal Slavery perk pulls some of the sacrificed wraiths back to Liu Nian's side.
Ultimately, the battle that night was won at the cost of two ghosts.
But Liu Nian couldn't be happy. After the killing, there was still endless emptiness, and what was lost could never be regained.
Don't use lack of experience as an excuse; failure on this mission will be a lifelong disgrace for him.
I wasn't in the mood to check the rewards; I figured they'd just be some resource cards and item cards. These days, I don't even care about anything that's not blue-grade gear.
Liu Nian's equipment has now transitioned from blue to purple!
After emerging from the tunnel in their chariot, they were surprised to see a full moon hanging in the sky.
Perhaps moved by the scene, Liu Nian took out a bottle of wine from his spatial storage.
Without the harassment of nocturnal monsters, a small drink is perfectly harmless.
Liu Nian raised his glass, and suddenly a phrase came to mind: "One glass to myself, one glass to tomorrow!"
Night had fallen, and the chariot slowly drove along the road leading to City B. The surroundings were exceptionally quiet, a quietness that captivated Liu Nian.
Ahead on the road, an abandoned service station stood silently watching Liu Nian's arrival.
...
Lu Jiaqi is destined to have a sleepless night in this unfamiliar place.
Although Uncle Mu Feng had tried his best to give her the best spot, a lingering smell of decay always filled her nostrils.
Thinking about how she would be going home tomorrow to live the life of a good girl, she missed the uncle named Liu Nian a little.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, the older man possessed a unique charm that deeply attracted her—a feeling she had never experienced with any other man.
I wonder if he will be sad if I suddenly disappear.
This strange and unusual thought suddenly welled up in my mind.
Surely not? He's so heartless, he never gives in to me, no wonder he's single!
As for liking him?
How is that possible?!
He believed his beloved was a peerless hero who would surely rescue him from the chaos of war on a white horse if he were in danger.
Just as I was lost in thought, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.
Thump thump thump thump thump!
Upon hearing this sound, the guards, in their well-trained manner, gathered together.
After assigning several people to closely protect Lu Jiaqi, Mu Feng and the other guards went down to the first floor.
Their expressions were serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy; their arrival in the dead of night suggested that the visitor was no ordinary person.
Everyone raised their alert level to the highest and slowly approached the only entrance in a surrounding formation.
At the same time, he kept a close eye on the gate, gripping his weapon tightly in preparation for any possible battle.
No one made a sound, and the knocking outside the door stopped.
Then a cold voice came from outside the door: "I mean no harm. Just explain where you got this travel bag from, and I'll leave immediately!"
