Before the four could figure out how to explain, they saw the skeleton army surround them.
His mind went blank for a moment, and he stood there shivering, holding the weapon.
The soulfire of the surrounding skeleton warriors stared at their souls, seemingly mocking their insignificance.
They had only ever experienced this sense of powerlessness when standing in front of their leader, and this lone wolf was clearly even stronger than the leader.
"There's something I need you to answer," Liu Nian said, looking at the four people in front of him expressionlessly.
The four were terrified and struggled to maintain their standing posture. When they heard Liu Nian speak, they nodded vigorously.
As for resistance, each skeleton could send them back with a single blow, not to mention there were archers aiming at them from afar.
Now, let alone asking questions, you could even give him your wife.
When four people are separated and asked the same question, all four give similar answers.
I learned from them that their headquarters was in the south of the city.
Seeing the four people with expressions of fear on their faces, Liu Nian did not hesitate to signal his summoned creatures to kill them all.
Being kind to bad people is being cruel to yourself.
Besides, I didn't promise to let them go!
Unconsciously, Liu Nian felt her heart had become cold and ruthless, no longer like the person she used to be.
The four did not last long before being killed by the summoned creatures.
Liu Nian watched the four people fall to the ground until the recruitment panel appeared, and only then did he leave with peace of mind.
After throwing the unconscious Li Qiang onto the horse, Liu Nian left the place.
As for the corpses on the ground, infected people will help deal with them.
Along the way, Liu Nian carefully recalled what the four people had said.
The Raiders Alliance?
Liu Nian had a vague recollection of them; weren't they the three hostile forces mentioned in the previous update announcement?
Sure enough, upon opening the panel, he found that the reputation of the Raiders Alliance and himself had changed after killing the four people.
The official explanation was that it was a newly added hostile force, but Liu Nian had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Because the prop he held was once called a creation of a false god by the Outer God Idaril.
The term "false god" bothered Liu Nian immensely.
Now it seems he was referring to the god who created the game. Previously, Liu Nian had always thought he was trapped in a game controlled by humans.
Besides, Idaril had no reason to deceive himself at that time; killing him would be as easy as killing a chicken for him.
Looking back now, this game seems almost too real; perhaps only the power of a god could have achieved such a feat.
As for why it might be true, as a long-time atheist, he has always viewed it with skepticism.
If the creator of this game is a god, then Idaril clearly represents another god, and the two are in opposition to each other.
Thinking deeper, Idaril realized the purpose of this game.
Did they feel threatened and thus consciously begin to infiltrate the game?
The Eye of Truth, which He leads, is clearly a religion.
Will this Raiders Alliance bring forth another Outer God?
The information is unclear, but it's chilling to think about!
The official strategy involves allowing players to explore on their own and setting up hostile scenarios to encourage them to suppress these invading deities.
Now it becomes clear what the purpose of this game is.
This cost so much that the whole world has been forced into this game.
That is, the god to which this game belongs also wants to cultivate his own power to suppress the gods of other civilizations.
The essence of this cruel game is to cultivate suitable teams of bacteria in the form of "breeding worms," which then serve as pawns to fight against other gods' representatives.
Only in this way can everything make sense.
Liu Nian is now certain that these three forces must have other Outer Gods secretly supporting them.
Their goal in invading the game was to destroy it, thereby attacking the official authorities or, in other words, the gods.
Who knows how many other forces are secretly eyeing this opportunity?
After figuring all this out, Liu Nian suddenly didn't know which way to go!
Suddenly I feel that perhaps ignorance is a blessing.
Regardless of all that, acquiring power is the root of everything. Only by becoming strong can one avoid feeling powerless when that moment arrives.
As for the Raiders Alliance, it's best not to provoke them unless they come after you.
If he were to become an enemy of another Outer God, Liu Nian didn't think he could be so lucky again.
I barely escaped with my life last time, just to remind myself not to go out and have fun again!
After figuring things out, Liu Nian dragged Li Qiang into the library and left him to fend for himself.
Damn it, that bastard still owes me money!
Liu Nian clearly hadn't forgotten what happened in Wushuang City.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. This guy is just here to bring me bad luck!
Liu Nian threw him to the ground in a huff and walked away.
Feeling it was necessary to stay away from him to avoid getting tainted by his bad luck, Liu Nian led her summoned creatures away into the distance.
After figuring all this out, he felt a sense of crisis for the first time. He had a crazy idea: to find a place to level up like crazy.
However crazy as they may be, they still need to find a place to spend the night.
Going out to fight monsters late at night isn't crazy, it's suicide.
After using his remaining mana to summon skeletons, he settled down somewhere far from the library.
My Summon Skeleton skill is currently at level nine, and I'll reach level ten in two days. Hopefully, it will bring some unexpected surprises.
Over the past two days, Liu Nian has been killing infected people in the streets and alleys.
After learning from the four men that the headquarters of the Raiders' Alliance was in the south of the city, he gave up any plans to expand in that direction.
Slowly, things returned to their previous plans, moving closer to the direction of their former home.
As he walked and scrolled along, under his deliberate arrangement, he was getting closer and closer to home, although he had to pass through the city center.
That's the most bustling commercial center in City A, so there must be a lot of infected people there.
As long as we don't go to the south of the city, we can just take it one step at a time.
...
As time went on, more and more teams broke through the Hellfire's blockade and entered the city.
In the past few days, another team has arrived in the city ahead of everyone else.
"Look, what's that?" one of the people in the group said, pointing to the building in the city square.
Everyone turned to look and discovered that it was a structure that resembled a teleportation portal.
But clearly, it wasn't a portal like those in a dungeon. The distance was sufficient to get in, but the dungeon detector didn't react at all.
The golden gateposts set it apart, enticing everyone to investigate.
Upon walking over, I discovered that the statue that was originally in the center of the square had vanished, along with the entire tiled ground beneath it.
On this land, the golden portal stands silently.
After defeating the infected around the plaza, the group curiously went forward to observe the portal in front of them.
[A player has been detected approaching the town portal. Defeat the guard protecting the portal to open it.]
As they approached, a system notification flashed through everyone's minds.
While they were still in a daze, a purple barrier enveloped the entire square.
A player with a speed advantage attempted to touch the edge of the purple protective shield, but was bounced back by the shield the moment he touched it.
Everyone's expression froze upon seeing this.
Then, after another dizzying spin, a magic circle appeared in the center of the square, with purple flames engraving intricate patterns within it.
Then a tall figure walked out of the magic circle.
Everyone stared at the figure with solemn expressions, assuming fighting stances.
