50: surprise

“Prosperity’s strength is too great, even a Seventh-Tier was killed.”

“My precious, Mommy loves you~”

“Lin Ye is truly despicable.”

“Princess Mengmeng, how could my Princess Mengmeng encounter such a terrifying monster? Organizers, go to hell!”

“Bai Zhiqing and Zhao Wenlong have such great CP chemistry, I’m shipping it!”

This battle significantly boosted Prosperity’s popularity.

So far, out of the three teams that encountered Seventh-Tiers, only Prosperity managed to counter-kill.

In this battle, Chen Ou was seriously injured, but the Colossus’s recovery ability was terrifying, and with Wang Mengmeng’s healing, he quickly recovered.

After three full days, plus the first day, which was the fourth day, the organizers’ little surprise finally arrived.

Lin Ye looked at the ‘Mercy’ item given by the organizers.

It was a bracelet similar to a watch, and surprisingly, it showed twinkling dots, representing each player’s location.

“These dog planners, we were hiding so well, and they actually opened up the entire map.”

“This Mercy is truly black tech. Didn't they say technology isn't allowed in the Star Realm?”

“Damn it, I’m the only one left in our team, and you pull this stunt? Dog planners, go die!”

“We’re doomed, there are over thirty people around us. Isn’t this the end?”

“Alright, so this is how you want to play, huh? I’ll just throw away the Mercy.”

Of course, throwing it away was impossible. The organizers put a lot of thought into this item. Just its rune black tech-like localized sensing was invaluable.

The Prosperity team was filled with joy; there wasn't a single person around them.

“When luck comes, you can’t stop it,” Chen Ou said cheerfully.

“Finally safe,” Wang Mengmeng patted her chest, relieved that she no longer had to worry about being ambushed.

“These organizers are truly inhuman, to pull such a trick,” Lin Ye complained, unable to imagine the organizers’ shamelessness.

“Now there are only seventy-six people left; the attrition rate is really fast,” Bai Zhiqing said calmly.

“Oh, indeed. It seems this dangerous zone isn’t easy to stay in,” Zhao Wenlong nodded in satisfaction. Fewer people are good; it’s best if everyone else is eliminated and only they remain.

Lin Ye thought the same. Hmm, it would be best if there was a big free-for-all, and then they all get eliminated.

There were no teams near Lin Ye and his group; the closest one was over a hundred miles away.

Crossing these dense forests was not simple.

The most intense free-for-all should be in the grassland area, with over twenty people.

The grassland area had lower danger, and most large Star Beasts were herbivores, very gentle. The remaining predators were mostly wolves, and they weren't in packs, so the danger was minimal.

Therefore, many teams went there, with most choosing to dig a hole and hide in the grassland.

The chances of being attacked in the lakes and forests were too high, so there were fewer people there.

Then there was the snowy mountain.

This free-for-all lasted for two days.

Looking at the map, everyone felt a sense of gravity.

There was a full-strength team heading towards them.

Now, only over thirty people were still alive.

And there were a total of four full-strength teams.

Each possessed considerable power.

This team was not from the forest; it was a team that came after battling through the snowy mountain.

In two days, they had completely cleared out the snowy mountain area.

“What are everyone’s thoughts? This team will probably arrive in less than half a day.”

“Now we have two choices: flee or confront.”

“If we flee, there’s a high chance we can survive until the seven days are over.”

“This team is too strong; we can’t confront them head-on. After all, they fought their way out of the snowy mountain.”

“I think we should prepare for a positional battle. Our speed isn't as good as theirs, and our reconnaissance is poor. If we flee rashly, we might be ambushed by hunters in the forest.”

“I agree. We are suited for tough battles; our mobility is very poor. We can’t use our weakness against their strength.”

Everyone discussed animatedly.

From the terrifying speed of that team’s advance, everyone had already guessed who it was.

Ranked third, Divine Land Club, with over two hundred years of history, an old-established powerhouse.

Currently, among the four intact teams, only they had a good choice and luck to pass the mutual slaughtering phase, while the remaining three all fought their way out based on strength.

Divine Land likes to recruit speed-type professional players; their entire team is a speed-rush team. This makes them very specialized, often unable to compare with the two more balanced top teams, but in special circumstances, they perform terrifyingly well.

For example, in this situation, everyone in the jungle is on edge, but they move as if on flat ground.

Their team has many ways to avoid danger and scout for enemies.

It’s difficult to escape their pursuit, and if they want to leave, you can’t stop them.

One could say this version is too suitable for them.

Ultimately, the Prosperity team decided to fight.

They excelled at head-on confrontation, not fleeing.

Moreover, since they knew the opponent’s information, they also roughly understood their strength and were not overly afraid.

“Captain, this team isn’t running, huh? Could it be the two teams above us?” The Divine Land team was also communicating.

“Really? Should we change direction? There’s no need to encounter those two teams; we shouldn’t get mutually wounded and benefit others.”

“Exactly. Changing direction now, while we can’t catch up to the other two full-strength teams, we can definitely take out a few survivors in the forest.”

Most of the non-full-strength teams were scattered throughout the forest.

Captain Luo Tian thought for a moment, “Let’s still go see if it’s those two teams. If it is, we’ll run. Our speed is fast; no one can stop us. And right now, there’s no need to target those remnants; the only ones that pose a threat to us are those two.”

The team members responded, indicating they understood.

“Heh heh, even if we encounter them, it’s not impossible. If we play a dirty trick and succeed, we’ll profit greatly and definitely move up a rank. If not, there’s no loss,” Luo Tian smirked.

The strength of speed-type players lies in their mobility: if they can’t win, they run; if they can win, they instantly kill.

Lin Ye and his team had already begun setting up their position.

Clearing the field was impossible in a dense forest with trees a hundred meters tall, each requiring several people to embrace. But simply setting up a few small traps around to slightly hinder the opponent’s movement was not a problem.

This amount of time was only enough for these tasks.

The opponents quickly approached the Prosperity team, not acting rashly. After a brief rest, they came to investigate.

Cautious, truly too cautious.

Lin Ye frowned, feeling that the opponent was not simple.

He had originally intended to wait at ease to gain a small advantage, but he didn’t expect the opponent to be so experienced.

They also couldn’t take the initiative to attack; with the entire map open, there was no possibility of a sneak attack.

Moreover, their speed wasn’t as fast as the opponent’s, so they couldn’t catch up at all.

Instead of being kited, it was better to stay put.

“Captain, it’s not those two teams. It’s Prosperity,” the scouting subordinate reported back.

Luo Tian licked his dagger. “Prosperity? A bit of a nuisance, but not a big problem. Prosperity excels at team combat, so they’re a tough nut to crack.”

Luo Tian naturally understood Prosperity, a team that generally hovered around the top ten. If the version suited team fights, they would rise. If not, they would be weak.

But now it was a team battle, and Prosperity’s strength could rank in the top five.

“Prosperity has a newly joined Fourth-Tier kid, right? That kid’s combat power is even fiercer than his predecessor, the Martial Artist,” a subordinate revealed his information.

“Oh? In the minor league, his strength was only considered peak Fifth-Tier, right? Should be similar to Lei Li? His win against Bai Hu must have been due to the unexpected effect of his spatial ability,” another subordinate reported.

Assassins are best at gathering information, and their team consisted entirely of assassin-type professionals.
