Before Liu Nian could have much time to be sentimental, the infected people who had been lured away by the motorcyclists began to return one after another.
Liu Nian checked the time; it was only a little past four.
He still has plenty of time to deal with these infected people. The warm-up exercise just now was clearly not enough. Now let's play an overtime game.
The summoned creatures began to converge around Liu Nian, forming a battle formation and advancing towards the infected.
Before they could even engage the infected, a sudden change occurred.
As I passed a manhole cover, there was a loud bang, the cover vanished, and a dark figure darted out of the sewer.
Before Liu Nian could react, he quickly dragged the group of passing ghouls into the sewers.
The entire operation, from start to finish, lasted no more than three seconds.
By the time he realized what was happening, the shadowy figure and the ghoul had vanished, leaving only an empty sewer entrance.
Your summoned creature has been killed.
Soon, a system notification sounded in his mind.
As Liu Nian came to her senses, the manhole cover, which had been knocked into the air, fell back down, crashing down on several unlucky ghouls and knocking them off balance.
The sudden threat made Liu Nian take a few steps back, away from the sewer.
Keep in mind that even though the ghoul's health had been boosted to 300 points by its own class, it still couldn't withstand a single blow from that monster.
Liu Nian had reason to believe that the monster possessed an instant-death attack, or that its attack power was so astonishing that it could instantly kill ghouls.
In any case, Liu Nian didn't want to be used as a guinea pig.
Cherish life, stay away from manhole covers!
However, Liu Nian is always the one bullying others, and he never expected to be bullied by a monster today. It would be a shame not to get revenge.
There's a saying that goes, "A gentleman doesn't leave this grudge unavenged." Although Liu Nian wasn't exactly a gentleman, that's not the point.
This monster is like a landmine; you never know when it will explode.
Therefore, the best way is to eliminate it, then skin it alive and enslave its corpse, so that it can never rise again.
The lines look familiar; isn't this the villain?
After thinking for a moment, Liu Nian made up his mind to go to the sewers to meet the mysterious monster.
Raven, yes, it's the ever-reliable raven leading the charge again.
It's not that we're bullying them; they're small, agile, and have anti-stealth abilities. Their unique vision allows them to spot objects in the dimly lit sewers, something other summoned creatures don't possess.
After watching several ravens enter the sewers, Liu Nian began to think about who to take with him.
Now it's a two-front war, and Liu Nian doesn't want to defeat that monster only to return to the ground and be surrounded by infected.
While nothing tastes better than dumplings, nothing's more fun than...
Ahem, I'm a gentleman, I haven't learned the rest!
Forget about Lamasoo, do you think the sewers aren't clogged enough?
There's no need to go to the ghoul army either; as part of the monster's diet, they should stay on the ground and fight.
Arrange for them to take a defensive stance around the sewers, while the rest follow them into the sewers.
The vengeful spirits had already wisely dived into the sewers to clear the way for Liu Nian to descend the stairs.
As units without physical volume, they can easily seep into sewers without having to climb stairs.
It's called a staircase, but it's actually just a bunch of sharp iron nails driven firmly into the cement wall, extending all the way down.
There was an iron nail at each interval as a step for descending. The nail was heavily rusted, and Liu Nian's hands were covered in iron slag.
The sewer is about three meters above the ground, with a cement passage about fifty centimeters wide on each side for walking, and a bottomless drainage ditch in the middle.
A foul stench hit him as he opened the manhole cover, but he gradually got used to it as he went down into the sewer.
While marveling at humanity's adaptability, Liu Nian also began searching for traces of the monsters in the sewers.
Unfortunately, the stars summoned by the Star Summoning Staff cannot move with it, which makes the sewers seem very dark and gloomy.
Liu Nian was protected in the middle by a group of evil spirits. Even though he had adapted to the darkness of the sewer, his visibility was still limited.
The sound of water droplets falling to the ground could be heard from time to time, and occasionally a ditch rat would dart past my feet with a squeaking scream.
As Liu Nian advanced for several minutes, the ground began to descend into chaos.
It seems the monster in the water is quite cunning. Is it waiting until Liu Nian has no reinforcements before attacking? Or has it already left after it has eaten its fill?
Always looking on the darkest side, Liu Nian's vigilance towards this monster increased even further due to its cunning.
When Liu Nian reached a corner, he stopped.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue forward, but rather that this was the final distance he had to maintain contact with the summoned creatures on the ground.
If he takes another step forward, the summoned creatures on the ground will abandon their current battle without hesitation and go into the sewers to find Liu Nian.
If summoned creatures are too far from the summoner, they will automatically find a way back to the summoner. This cannot be avoided; the rules bind them.
Time passed by, and Liu Nian thought that the monster probably wouldn't appear again; maybe it had eaten its fill.
Although giving up now would be a bit unfair to those fallen ghouls, every extra minute spent in the stinking sewers is torture!
In the end, Liu Nian had no choice but to turn around and leave. Whether it was by accident or not, a large piece of high-quality Devilsaur thigh meat happened to fall onto the steps.
As the sound of footsteps climbing the stairs faded, the sewer returned to calm.
Glug glug glug... Glug glug glug...
Something seemed to be moving towards the piece of Devilsaur meat in the sewage of the drainage ditch.
It moves very fast in the water, making only a tiny splash.
Upon approaching the piece of meat, it didn't rush to appear, but instead cautiously observed and waited around it.
Only after confirming that there was no nauseating stench of undead in the vicinity did it peek out.
Its bark, resembling a piece of dead wood, was exposed, and then half of its body appeared in the sewer passageway.
The deer-Tyrannosaurus meat left in the sewers emitted an enticing aroma, and it no longer waited to open its blood-red maw and swallow the meat whole.
Through the raven's perspective, Liu Nian could clearly see the silhouette of the large crocodile.
After seeing it swallow the piece of Devilsaur meat, Liu Nian's lips curled up. It had finally taken the bait!
