Watching the girl slowly walk over, and then until she reached the back of the Black Warrior, Liu Nian finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.
With the threat gone, Liu Nian stared expressionlessly at the six people surrounded by the summoned creatures.
Their faces displayed a variety of expressions as they stared intently at Liu Nian.
The sight of six anxious faces before him gave Liu Nian a thrilling sense of power over life and death.
"Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!" Liu Nian coldly issued the order in his mind.
The summoned creatures faithfully carried out Liu Nian's orders, raising their weapons and slashing at the six people without saying a word.
As the summoned creatures gathered around, the six realized they had completely made the wrong bet and raised their weapons to deal with the creatures' attack.
It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
Melee attacks are easy to counter, but ranged attacks are much harder to resist.
Moreover, ranged classes occupy the open terrain on the second floor, allowing them to dominate from above.
The skeleton mage on the second floor can't really shine when fighting monsters, but it does decent damage when attacking players.
The trajectory of magical attacks is much smoother than that of arrows; a single concentrated attack from eleven skeleton mages can completely cripple one of them.
Ice, fire, thunder, wind, and poison—being hit twice by each elemental is unbearable even for the strongest person, let alone with arrows stuck in their body.
Even if they manage to withstand the first round, they'll only end up taking another round of energy bombs.
Surrounded by layers of enemies, escaping alive is nothing but wishful thinking.
The six people loudly cursed Liu Nian, the one-eyed dragon, for breaking the rules, but were ultimately defeated by the summoned creatures.
The captain, who was best equipped, collapsed to the ground clutching his wound and cried out, "Why?"
Liu Nian simply looked quietly into his terrified eyes without offering any explanation.
You should ask Yama, the King of Hell, about that. I'm only responsible for getting you to see him.
The soul power in the shrine increased by six points, which ensured that they had all perished.
Why?
Perhaps it's because you chose the wrong opponent?
Maybe it's because I'm more greedy than you!
A good person?
I gave up this identity a long time ago.
As Liu Nian walked toward their bodies, the topic came back to her.
"Can I go upstairs to see my uncle?" the girl behind me asked timidly.
uncle?
That's true, people like that wouldn't have survived this long without someone protecting them.
"Do as you please!" Liu Nian replied coldly.
Saving you was just a side effect; you'll have to deal with the rest of the way on your own. What does it have to do with me?
"Thank you, you're a good person." The girl's face was full of worry, but she remained very polite.
She was quite polite, Liu Nian guessed that she must have been a child from a wealthy family before the apocalypse.
However, this was still none of my business. As the other party went upstairs, Liu Nian squatted down beside the six people.
Raven deftly pulled the hidden supplies from their pockets, while Liu Nian stared at their damaged equipment with shining eyes.
Since they don't need it anyway, I might as well make use of it and benefit myself!
After a flurry of activity, the six people on the ground had vanished, leaving only a few ghouls with bulging bellies.
Just as I was about to leave, the girl upstairs asked for help.
"I know it's presumptuous of you, but could you please come up and take a look? My uncle is badly injured!"
?
Where exactly do I come across as a good person?
Why do they all think I'm a good person?!
Seemingly feeling that she wasn't very convincing, she took off her earrings and necklace and tried to present them to Liu Nian.
As expected, she was blocked by the summoned creature. Liu Nian stopped the summoned creature, allowing her to get close.
Looking into the girl's sincere yet slightly pleading eyes, Liu Nian finally accepted the jewelry from her hand, even though it was really of no use to him.
The girl's worry turned to joy, and she led Liu Nian upstairs.
Judging from the girl's pace, Liu Nian guessed that her uncle was not in good condition, so he quickened his pace to catch up.
Sure enough, a man with a square face was reclining on the wall next to a door.
The square-faced man was none other than Lin Yuantu from before, and the girl was kneeling beside him.
Liu Nian used his information gathering ability without making a sound, and as expected, he saw that the man was in a near-death state.
[Near-death state]: This state only occurs when the maximum health points have been reduced to a very high level, usually caused by a fatal injury.
Unless there are some healing medicines to stop these injuries, or a priest appears, there is no hope.
Clearly, Liu Nian possessed neither of these qualities, and could only watch helplessly as he fell silent.
The good/evil value is also negative, around -20.
This message made Liu Nian take notice.
As for the girl, she didn't even have a system, so she couldn't tell.
Lin Yuantu looked to be in his forties, with an unnatural flush on his face, as if he had entered a period of lucidity before death.
He gently stroked the girl's long black hair and said with difficulty to Liu Nian, "Could you please escort her back to B City? I don't have any reward for you, but once she gets to B City, someone will definitely bring her a generous reward."
He was exhausted from saying so much in one breath, and coughed up a pool of blood.
Seeing this, the girl hurriedly patted his back, trying to make him more comfortable.
Here we go again?
To be honest, Liu Nian didn't want to get involved in this mess. Traveling with such a burden for five or six days was hardly a pleasant task.
As for her being a beautiful woman?
I'm sorry, I only like wealthy and generous women.
Lin Yuantu seemed to think that this request was a bit unreasonable, but he had no choice.
All his belongings had been taken by the person who had taken them, leaving him with nothing of value.
Suddenly remembering something, he gritted his teeth and reached for his neck.
No way? No way?
Are you taking out the trash again?
Liu Nian thought he was going to pull out some kind of jewelry that looked like a young girl's, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
However, after seeing what was in his hand, Liu Nian was shocked.
Military tags, military tags with names engraved on them.
These kinds of items are worthless to Liu Nian, but they are of great significance to the owner of the military license plate, and they generally do not appear on the list of tradable items.
This was a very significant commission, and Liu Nian's expression turned serious upon realizing this.
After straightening his clothes, he solemnly said to Lin Yuantu, "Mr. Lin Yuantu, I accept your commission."
When Lin Yuantu heard Liu Nian accept the commission, his expression relaxed. Then, he tilted his head and slumped against the door, motionless. He heard soft sobbing beside him; it was the girl crying.
After removing the dog tags from the necks of everyone around him, Liu Nian walked to the girl who was sobbing on Lin Yuantu's body and said, "It's getting late, we should get going."
The girl looked at the body on the ground with lingering reluctance, wanting to say something, but still didn't utter a word.
Liu Nian knew she wanted to bury these soldiers, but she couldn't force others to do so.
He took a torch from the car and set the house on fire, but he didn't have time to do that either.
He didn't know what twists and turns the journey ahead might bring, and he couldn't afford to waste any time.
After the fire spread, the girl finished saluting.
Liu Nian took the girl into the car and left the place that had saddened her.
