Chapter 49: 80,000 Points

“If they aren’t members of Team Nine, then why would these people come seeking revenge on us?” Wang Heng felt his brain was a jumbled mess.

Wasn’t the point of this instance just to kill Variants and people to get points? Why do we have to use our brains too?!

Ling Yao stroked his chin, feigning profoundness, and said, “Perhaps this is a tactic. They send four people to die first, and then the remaining person hides in the shadows, watching us. When someone else clashes with us, and we’re both weakened, they come out to reap the benefits!”

As he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xihen with eager eyes, seeking praise, convinced that he had seen through the truth.

Chu Xihen looked at him with a complicated expression. “How about you just cut off your head and see if your regeneration ability can grow a new one? This one doesn’t seem to be working very well.”

Ling Yao: “…”

Thanks, I’m hurt.

“Then, are we going to find the last person from Team Nine?” Wang Heng asked.

Since he couldn’t figure it out anyway, he decided not to think about it and just listen to Lou Su and the others.

“Of course, we have to find them! Otherwise, we’ve killed four of them, and if we leave one for others to pick off, we’ll be at a huge loss!” Ding Hui only felt sorry for the more than 20,000 points on the leaderboard that hadn’t been transferred to their team yet!

“Keep killing Variants, don’t get bogged down by this. Also, keep an eye on the leaderboard to see how long Team Nine’s last member can survive.” Time was short. Instead of searching for one person among seventy or eighty, it was better to honestly kill Variants.

They went deeper into the forest, and as expected, the Flame Gold Lions increased in number. Besides the lions, there were also glowing golden bears and tigers, all of them beasts that ruled the forest.

But now, in the eyes of Lou Su and the others, they were just glittering gold points.

It was late at night. They finally accumulated their team points by one thousand at a time, pushing it to over 50,000, enough for everyone to have a guaranteed 10,000 points.

“Oh my god, we finally have enough for the guaranteed points. Let’s rest for a while. I just killed one of the same kind, and I feel terrible. Let me recover!” Ling Yao plopped down on the ground, too tired to even move a finger.

Wang Heng was puzzled when he heard this. “We just killed a tiger, we didn’t kill anyone.”

Ling Yao’s brain was sometimes bright and sometimes out of order. At this moment, he performed exceptionally and explained to Wang Heng, “From a young age, teachers taught us to love and protect the little animals in nature as if they were family. Although we killed a tiger, in my heart, it’s the same kind.”

Wang Heng didn’t know that Ling Yao’s ability was White Tiger Ancestral Return, he just felt stupid for seriously asking Ling Yao such a question.

Ling Yao was just a little kid with a brain problem, he would always say strange things, the best respect for him was to let it go in one ear and out the other!

“There are only seven teams left,” Lou Su said, glancing at the leaderboard.

And there was even one team with fewer points than them, with only a little over 30,000 so far.

Most of the twenty numbers on the leaderboard were now grayed out, and each number represented five living people.

“I wonder if it’s this tragic in other instances,” Ding Hui said with emotion.

Not to mention those killed by Variants, but most of the grayed-out numbers had their points cleared to zero, they were truly killed by their own kind.

“The law of the jungle, this is the apocalypse,” Wang Heng said, then fell backward, his whole body submerged in the grass.

The real world had been exposed to the sun for several days and no longer had fresh wild grass, only some withered grass remained in places that were occasionally sheltered.

The place they had chosen had relatively deep wild grass, which could just block them all and allow them to rest while observing whether there were any Variants nearby.

As a result, they didn’t see any Variants, but they did see a few sneaky figures running towards them.

As the number of teams decreased and the forest became extremely large, seemingly without boundaries, it became increasingly difficult to encounter other people.

Lou Su and the others had been killing Variants here all night, and this was the first time they had seen anyone pass by.

“Brother Gang, let’s rest for a while. I really can’t run anymore. We’ve been running for so long, they shouldn’t have caught up,” someone said, panting.

“Worthless trash!” A rough voice cursed, then added, “Then let’s rest for five minutes. Your points aren’t enough. Let’s hurry up and kill some more Variants on the outskirts.”

“Okay, Brother Gang, we’re relieved to hear you say that!” another voice flattered.

Lou Su and the others hid in the grass. After hearing the conversation of those people, Ling Yao used mouth shapes to say to Chu Xihen in the dim light: “It’s Hu Gang.”

Even though they were in the forest, the leaderboard in the sky was like a big moon hanging above, it didn’t cause much of an impact on their vision.

Chu Xihen nodded, he had also recognized it.

He had heard Hu Gang’s voice outside the forest when he first entered the instance, he wouldn’t forget it so quickly.

Ling Yao raised his hand and made a neck-slitting gesture, asking Chu Xihen and Lou Su if they wanted to make a move.

Although he really wanted to rush out and kill Hu Gang, the other side had seven people, and they only had five. Moreover, his feud with Hu Gang was personal, he couldn’t implicate his teammates.

Whether to send the whole team out depended on whether Lou Su wanted to swallow the points of Team Twelve.

Now, Team Twelve’s points were still at the top of the leaderboard, with a total of 100,000!

Of these 100,000 points, it was estimated that half of them were obtained by their two teams jointly killing other teams.

The grass where Lou Su and the others were hiding was too close to where Hu Gang and the others were resting, and they couldn’t make any noise at all, which made it impossible for him to deploy a combat plan well.

He simply made a few gestures, telling Wang Heng to go out first and trap the people with an earth prison, Ding Hui and Chu Xihen separated to the left and right, one using ice cones and the other using arrows, to carry out remote attacks.

The Variants nearby had been killed by them, and hadn’t been refreshed yet. Ling Yao’s ability didn’t have any effect, so he stayed in place and waited for orders.

He followed Wang Heng out to capture the leader first.

Ling Yao saw Lou Su making a series of gestures, and he didn’t understand a single one, but the others rushed out tacitly.

“Earth Prison!” Wang Heng took the lead, and earth prisons rose from around the few people, trapping them inside.

But Hu Gang reacted extremely quickly. He also activated his skill and shouted, “Diamond Fist!”

Then the solid earth prison that Wang Heng was so proud of was punched out of a big hole by Hu Gang. He crawled out of the hole and ran without looking back.

Seeing him rushing out like a gust of wind, Lou Su knew that he had also awakened a speed ability.

But the others in the earth prison didn’t react so quickly, and they crowded each other trying to get out of the hole in the earth prison, but none of them succeeded in escaping.

After Chu Xihen shot and killed three people who wanted to fight back with their abilities, the light of Team Ten on the points leaderboard dimmed, and their Team Fifteen’s points instantly changed from over 50,000 to over 80,000!
