Chapter 353 Stubbornness Turns into a Double-Dealing [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

[Real world, 13 stations]

Looking at the scene, Tiandao smiled and said he was going to find his next prey.

The comments on the 13 stations immediately became very active.

'An episode that scared the kids to tears.'

"Family members, the Star-Crossing Demons are here! They're devouring anyone they catch!"

'So this assessment was originally a battle royale? Everyone else was responsible for escaping, and Lao Tian was responsible for killing.'

Amidst the banter in the live chat, the previously stable assessment situation underwent a dramatic transformation as the Heavenly Dao suddenly 'went berserk'.

Many contestants, like Chen Kong, had originally given up their Star Tears, intending to 'survive until the end' before trying to snatch them back.

After discovering that the central plains were completely 'monopolized' by the Heavenly Dao, and that small-scale alliances were beginning to emerge in the peripheral areas, they could no longer sit still.

Now, they either join other alliances to compete for the Tear of the Stars, or they are robbed by other alliances; there is basically no third option.

As for the lone wolf?

Unless you have a significant skill gap compared to other contestants, it's very difficult for a lone wolf to make it into the final round.

【Liuguang Grassland - Southern Region】

"Miss, the red dot in the middle."

A Star Envoy from the Blazing Sun Clan looked at the coordinate cluster composed of more than fifty red dots representing the Tears of Stars on the screen above his head and spoke with a solemn expression.

"It's nothing, just the cruel joke of fate, don't worry about it."

Chen Xing glanced at it briefly and found that among the fifty-odd red dots, apart from the information of Tian Dao and Caroline, there were no other people.

This means that these fifty-odd red dots represent someone who hunted down and collected all fifty Star Tear contestants.

Instead of a large alliance of more than fifty people.

As for who did it, Chen Xing could tell at a glance.

"Let's go west. Those lone holders are our targets."

As Chen Xing spoke, he looked towards the western direction of the large map above his head.

In that area, there were three or four lone red dots moving rapidly.

Actually, if it weren't for helping other family members pass the test smoothly, Chen Xing would be happy to go to the Heavenly Dao for a "fun".

However, for the sake of her family's interests, she ultimately restrained her inner fighting spirit and chose to be rational.

Led by Chen Xing, the Star Envoys of the Lieyang Clan set off westward together.

They were like a well-trained army, with clear objectives and no hesitation.

Similar situations occurred with other participants on the grassland.

Only a fool would go near that place if someone could collect so many Star Tears by themselves.

[Liuguang Grassland, Eastern Region]

"null"

Liu Ma suddenly stopped and pointed in a low voice to the bushes not far away.

"I noticed that."

Chen Kong looked in the direction he pointed and saw more than a dozen contestants dressed in different outfits standing there, like a large net blocking their way.

These people not only outnumbered each other, but three of them also possessed the aura of a third-level star envoy.

Faced with this situation, it was clear that Chen Kong and his three companions would find it difficult to fight against them.

Not to mention that the Tears of Stars will immediately transfer once touched.

This undoubtedly makes it even more difficult for them to protect the Tears of the Stars.

But there's only one hour left before the assessment ends.

Their team now consists of only two Star Tears.

Neither Chen Kong nor Vivian possesses their own Star Tears. If they wish to clear the game, they must not only protect their current Star Tears but also prevent others from stealing theirs.

"It's troublesome."

Vivian adjusted her glasses; the tactical tablet displayed the opponent's information, allowing her to assess the combat strength of both sides.

Isabel clenched her fist, and pale blue star energy began to gather at her fingertips.

To Chen Kong and the others' surprise, the other party did not make a move immediately, but instead sent out one person.

The other person was wearing a gray hoodie and playing with a game console. It was none other than Mi Yao, the No. 13 star in the constellation that Chen Kong had met three months ago.

He walked up to Chen Kong, his previous playful expression gone, replaced by a serious one.

"Don't be so tense, Kong. We're not here to steal the Tear of the Stars from you."

Chen Kong was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Mi Yao's alliance has more than ten people, but only three Star Tears.

Even if we take their two, it won't be enough to go around, and it would cause the league to collapse due to 'unequal distribution'.

Thinking of this, Chen Kong raised his head, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Cooperation?"

Mi Yao nodded: "Cooperation."

After a moment's thought, Chen Kong asked, "So what are you planning to do?"

Mi Yao pointed to the area with the most red dots on the large screen above his head.

"Find a way to get some Star Tears from the Heavenly Dao."

"."

Looking at Mi Yao's serious face, Chen Kong thought he had misheard and was stunned for a long time before he realized what he had heard.

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

"I am very sure."

Mi Yao put away the game console in his hand, his expression turning serious.

"Kong, right now only he and Caroline are on the Heavenly Dao side, and they have the most Star Tears."

"As for the remaining Tears of Stars, they have either fallen into the hands of powerful families like Chenxing, or they have fallen into the hands of some powerful lone wolves."

"The former is not to be trifled with, and the latter has too little meat; even if you snatch it, there won't be enough to go around."

"Only the Heavenly Dao has more than fifty, enough for all of us to share. Only by 'seizing the Heavenly Dao' can this temporary alliance be united."

The truth is this.

But what's the difference between trying to snatch the Tears of Stars from the Heavenly Dao and skipping the monsters in the game and going straight to the final boss at the beginning of the game?
Let alone more than ten people, even if ten times that number came, they probably wouldn't be able to get close to the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, with just a simple thought, Chen Kong made a decision.

"Sorry, we don't want to provoke him."

After saying that, Chen Kong immediately turned around and was about to leave with Vivian and the others.

Before he could take two steps, the star energy of the three level-three star envoys instantly locked onto the dust, and the surrounding contestants also stepped forward, forming an encirclement.

Chen Kong turned his head and found that Mi Yao had changed his expression, with a cold smile curving his lips.

"Kong, you seem to have misunderstood something. I'm not discussing this with you right now."

"You either choose to cooperate, or you hand over your Star Tears to us."

The fluorescent grass rustled in the wind, and the air instantly became tense.

Chen Kong stopped and slowly turned around, the Void Weaver condensing in his hand, assuming a fighting stance.

Should he fight against the dozen or so people in front of him, or should he join them in challenging the 'monster' that he considered almost invincible?

This difficult problem is now truly facing Chen Kong, putting him in a dilemma.
