Liu Nian was surrounded by the crowd at the very back, huddled together with the merchants.
I counted about fifteen Night Demons here, while our side, apart from four merchants who had no combat ability, consisted of twelve beginners of level eight or above.
The merchants leaned against the campfire in the gap between the campfire and the wooden hut, their faces pale, but they appeared quite calm.
Of course, this line of work is a death sentence; one wrong move and you're dead. Those who aren't calm have long since been fed to the monsters.
The Night Demons weren't interested in the cabin; as long as they didn't get in the way, it wouldn't be too difficult.
Thankfully, the customer service representative didn't leave the house, unlike some NPCs who are so intelligent they drive you crazy.
Liu Nian is currently applying the Slowing Spell to each Night Demon, trying to reduce their flight speed.
The slowing effect of the spell, which also has a trial-like effect, makes them extremely uncomfortable. Basically, as soon as they fly into the crowd, before they can even launch an attack, they are hit by several attacks themselves.
Among them, the swordsman deals the most damage; a single sword strike can take away more than 20 points of the Night Demon's health and also inflict a bleeding effect.
Since there is no team-up mechanism, whoever gets the last hit gets all the experience points.
Liu Nian had a X-ray vision cheat and a large number of corpses, so he managed to snatch the kill rewards from several Night Demons in a row.

Without Tiffany sharing the experience, this Night Demon's experience points are on par with those of a second-tier monster.
Under the combined effects of Liu Nian's Slowing Spell and Increased Damage, Night Demon's side quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Having a mage in the team is indeed a huge asset, and the mercenaries who are currently fighting think that they should talk to their leader to see if they can recruit this mage.
Liu Nian, unaware of what everyone was thinking, looked at the few Night Demons left on his side and turned his gaze to the opposite side.
Unlike the harmonious situation here, Li Guang's situation is extremely precarious.
Moreover, Li Guang and his gang were unaware that an even greater disaster was about to befall them; they had been targeted by Liu Nian.
They are still working hard to drive away the Night Demon.
We've encountered Night Demons before, but not this many, and we usually find them on our side first.
This time, we were suddenly put on the defensive, so we were a bit flustered for a while.
The worst part is that, as a marksman, I can't use my skills effectively because I'm too close to the enemy.
Now, apart from the blond guy who was fighting as a defensive fighter and was uninjured, almost everyone else is injured.
The unlucky man on night watch was caught off guard and suddenly attacked by the Night Demon, who grabbed him in mid-air and tore him to pieces.
After seizing an opportunity, Li Guang used his second-tier skill, Explosive Arrow.
It must be said that he is quite capable to be able to speak with the Lord of Wushuang City as a representative.
The explosive arrows streaked across the night sky and detonated in mid-air, delivering a devastating blow to the Night Demon horde.
Night Demons fear fire; those affected are covered in flames of varying sizes, and the character panel also displays a burning effect.
The Night Demons, struck by arrows, immediately distanced themselves and took to the air, flapping their wings in an attempt to extinguish the fire.
Seeing that there were fewer Night Demons, Li Guang and his group began to gather under the cover of Shield Guard Huang Mao, and it seemed that the situation was moving in their favor.
However, in the chaos, no one noticed the magic circle that had formed beneath their feet.
Black mist suddenly surged out from the magic circle, enveloping them all.
Having already lost some health to the Night Demon, the Novices didn't even have time to scream before being completely swallowed up by the black mist.
This was Liu Nian's Death Ripple skill. After the indiscriminate attack, Li Guang's gang of underlings were almost all killed or wounded.
The Night Demons also left behind a few corpses, but the number was still considerable.
Seeing his health nearly depleted, Li Guang was terrified and could only cower behind the blond-haired man, frantically pulling out a basic health potion from his pocket.
Behind him was a sports car, squeezed between the two.
With his health reduced by half, Huang Mao gritted his teeth and used his Shield Wall skill as he watched the Night Demons relentlessly attack him.
A burst of dazzling yellow light appeared, and small cone-shaped shields rose up, surrounding the blond-haired man's body.
The claw attack that Night Demon launched afterward didn't even scratch the blond guy's fur.
"Are they messing with us?" Huang Mao turned to ask Li Guang, then pulled out a bottle of basic life potion himself.
After drinking a bottle of basic life potion, Li Guangzheng felt a warm current rising through his body, and his vitality seemed to have been restored.
Shaking his groggy head, he heard what the blond-haired man said and it seemed to make some sense. Suddenly, he remembered the mysterious sorcerer and realized that it must be him who was behind it!
Although he planned to report this matter to Zhu Shao after returning to the World Society, and then cause trouble for them after they entered the city.
But you're so lacking in martial ethics, treating a junior comrade like this is a bit too much!
By the way, you can ask Young Master Zhu for help.
"You hold on, I'll start the car."
With that thought in mind, and looking at the blond-haired man's back in front of him, he steeled himself and climbed into the sports car.
The blond-haired man, who was being harassed by the Night Demon, said "okay" upon hearing this.
Hearing the car start, he turned around and saw only Li Guang's cold profile.
His heart sank, and he hurriedly tried to turn the car door in front of him, only to find it locked tight.
Recalling Li Guang's past behavior, Huang Mao realized that he had been betrayed.
When the ten seconds were up, he was caught off guard by the Night Demon and torn to pieces in mid-air.
The blond-haired man, in a frenzied manner, cried out to the ground, "Li Guang, you'll get what's coming to you!"
Before he could finish speaking, there was silence.
Li Guang floored the accelerator, and the sports car's engine roared to life. Just as they were about to leave, the mysterious magic circle reappeared, and black mist carrying the yellow-haired man's resentment pierced through the car door, severing all life.
The driverless car was forced to stop after crashing into the vehicle in front, and then a system notification sounded.

After watching Night Demon tear Li Guang's body apart by smashing the car window, Liu Nian turned to look at the battlefield.
The battle here is nearing its end. One Night Demon is still alive, its body firmly hooked by a hooked spear. A burly man is pressing down on the spear handle to restrain the Night Demon, preventing it from taking flight.
Zhou Momo swung her fire axe, unleashing a flash of cold light. Night Demon's last remaining health points were wiped out, and he was instantly decapitated.
The Night Demons, who were besieging Li Guang's group, looked at the corpses of their comrades around the mercenaries opposite them and knew that these prey were quite troublesome.
He decisively left the place with the pieces of Li Guang and the others' bodies.
Apart from a few mercenaries who were scratched, there were almost no casualties on this side.
Several people mustered their courage and approached the wreckage left behind by Li Guang and his men, taking out supplies from the trunk of the car.
This spurred the others on; apart from a few who didn't go, the rest rushed over to loot.
As for the car, it was naturally left behind.
Just kidding, if you drove this car back to the World Society, you wouldn't have enough lives even if you had nine.
Loot dropped by the Night Demon belongs to the killer; no one else has the right to pick it up.
However, if the wait is long enough, other people can also pick it up.
These were the rules that the other mercenaries had told Liu Nian.
