Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

……

at the same time.

The other end of the map.

"Cough cough cough..."

A violent coughing sound came from the bushes.

Bai Ling looked extremely disheveled at this moment.

The once exquisite Miao costumes were torn to shreds by the bomb, exposing large areas of snow-white skin covered in charred marks.

Although the three high-explosive sensor grenades did not kill her outright, they did leave this Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave half-dead.

But strangely enough...

There was no anger on her face.

On the contrary, a sickly flush appeared on that ashen face.

She stuck out her scarlet tongue and licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes glazed and feverish.

"pain……"

"It hurts so much..."

Bai Ling stroked the wound on her arm caused by shrapnel, letting out a chilling chuckle.

"Hehehe..."

"They anticipated my poison, my movements, and even the wind direction to mask the smell of gunpowder."

"Brother Lin Xiao, you're so mean."

"I originally thought you were just a gigolo who relied on women, but I never expected... your heart is black too."

She took out a brightly colored Gu worm from her waist, gently put it in her mouth and chewed it, letting the green juice flow down the corner of her mouth.

The wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You're not someone to be trifled with."

"You are the most delicious and dangerous prey."

"I'm going to capture you, turn you into the most obedient corpse puppet, and make you watch only me day and night..."

A faint green light shone in Bai Ling's eyes; in this dark forest, she was a beautiful snake ready to devour anyone she chose.

……

Three kilometers away.

Lin Xiao was completely unaware of what was happening at that moment.

Even if they knew, they would probably just sigh.

Are all these geniuses a little mentally ill?

He was hiding in a very secluded triangular area.

The terrain at the intersection of the three hills is complex and located in a windy, dead-end corner.

Whether it's sight or smell, this is a perfect blind spot.

Lin Xiao put the optical camouflage cloth back on, and once again became one with the darkness.

"call……"

He leaned against the cold rock and let out a long breath.

That last move, seemingly effortless, was actually a life-threatening act.

If Ye Chen had reacted a little faster, if Bai Ling hadn't been crippled in the explosion, if that charlatan Zhang Xuan had also intervened...

I guess I've already been eliminated by now.

"However, the profits are quite good."

Lin Xiao rubbed his slightly sore wrist, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"We've tested the limits of these prodigies."

"Ye Chen's sword energy is sharp, but his physical body is fragile, although that may be relative to me."

"Bai Ling excels at using poison and speed, but her defense is pitiful."

"As long as you're not surrounded and defeated one by one, it's basically like bullying noobs."

Lin Xiao took out a compressed biscuit from the system space and took a bite without any flavor.

He is waiting.

Wait until these arrogant geniuses kill each other, and until they reveal their weaknesses.

This is the self-cultivation of Lao Liu.

Sit back and watch the tigers fight, laugh as the dogs bite each other.

Time passed second by second.

The dark forest returned to its deathly silence.

The explosion and clash just now felt like an illusion.

however.

Just when Lin Xiao thought he could relax his vigilance a little and even prepare to take a nap,

My ears suddenly twitched slightly.

hum-

hum-

A strange sound.

Extremely fine, yet extremely dense.

The sound was like the flapping of countless wasps' wings, and also like the mournful cry of air being torn apart at high speed.

Lin Xiao suddenly stopped chewing the biscuit.

Suddenly, I looked up at the pitch-black night sky above.

[All-Seeing Eye] is activated instantly, extending the viewing distance to its limit.

next second.

For the first time, a look of horror appeared on Lin Xiao's usually calm and composed face.

I almost spat out the cookie crumbs in my mouth.

All that could be seen was the pitch-black night sky.

Dozens of meteors, trailing long fiery tails, were streaking across the sky, bringing with them a suffocating sense of oppression as they hurtled towards his location...

Indiscriminate whitewashing!

That wasn't a shooting star.

That was a barrage of heavy artillery fire from large-caliber howitzers!

"Holy crap?!"

Lin Xiao's pupils shrank to pinpoints.

This orientation... this lead time...

It was definitely not a blind shot!

Is this a full-map cheat?!

The image of the girl who got the heavy machine gun instantly flashed into my mind—

Zhao Xiaotang.

"That blockhead..."

Lin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine as the data stream of the Omniscient Eye began to alarm wildly.

"She actually predicted my escape route and where I would end up?!"

"Is this some kind of human radar?! Your computing power is even stronger than my red item!"

Who says berserkers don't have brains?

This is clearly a tactical mastermind disguised as a brute!

boom--!!!

The first shell whistled through the air and exploded on the rock wall ten meters above Lin Xiao's head, its force enough to destroy everything!

Rocks flew everywhere, and flames shot into the sky.

Lin Xiao's proud "absolutely safe zone" instantly turned into a raging inferno.

boom--!!!

Another loud bang, not like an explosion in the dark forest, but more like a hole being punched in the skull of billions of viewers.

The three intersecting hills instantly evaporated.

Blinding flashes tore through the night as dozens of meticulously calculated large-caliber grenades wove together a deadly net of light with no blind spots.

The soil surged into waves tens of meters high, and gravel was indiscriminately sprayed out like bullets.

The previously densely packed chat messages in the live stream suddenly went silent for three seconds.

Then, the screen went gray.

"RIP..."

"It's over. With this level of firepower, even a god would have to kneel down."

"That's brutal! Zhao Xiaotang's prediction was absolutely brilliant!"

"Lin Xiao has no defensive gear, this wave... he's probably not even going to be left with ashes."

A feeling of despair spread along the internet cable.

Faced with absolute power, all techniques and skills seem pale and powerless.

Truth lies only within the range of cannon fire.

……

Kyoto, Ministry of Education.

A middle-aged, burly man with a fierce face, wearing heavy alloy armor, was staring at the screen.

He was holding two gleaming iron bladders in his hands. Seeing the towering flames, he couldn't help but laugh wildly, the sound shaking the glass of the conference room.

"Hahaha! Great! That's what you call professional!"

This person is none other than Xing Zhantian, the Lord of the Temple of War Gods.

Grandmaster of the Dragon Kingdom, a fanatical believer in the aesthetics of violence.

He pointed at the screen, his face flushed, and looked at Lei Zhen and Qian Duoduo, whose faces were ashen.

"Old Lei, Old Qian, don't blame me for being disrespectful. This is what you call 'backbone'!"

"My Xiaotang's prediction and firepower allocation this time were simply art! A textbook example of how to defend oneself!"

"Lin Xiao? That country bumpkin who only knows how to play petty tricks, it's his honor to die under such magnificent fireworks!"

Xing Zhantian's eyes were filled with contempt; he could already see Lin Xiao's fate of becoming nothing but scum.

"What good is a sharp mind in this world? Caliber is justice, range is truth! Faced with overwhelming firepower, all fancy tricks are nonsense!"

Lei Zhen clenched his fists so tightly that the corner of the solid wood table cracked under his grip.

He wanted to curse.

But as he looked at the ruins on the screen, now reduced to scorched earth, his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton.

This firepower density...

Let alone a third-tier martial artist, even a fourth-tier or fifth-tier expert would be badly injured if they tried to take this kind of attack!

In the corner, Gu Qinghe elegantly sipped his tea, chuckled softly, and his tone revealed undisguised pleasure.

"Minister Qin, it seems your saint is about to become a dead man."

"Luck has a limit; if you max it out, you'll pay with your life."

……

The Dark Forest, the epicenter of the explosion.

The air was distorted by the high temperature, and the pungent smell of sulfur filled every inch of the space.

This is a forbidden zone for life.

However, it is precisely within this purgatory.

A pair of eyes suddenly opened.

That's not the look a human being should have.

Deep within the pupils, golden data streams were refreshing wildly, so fast that they even overflowed from the eye sockets, drawing out two tangible golden particle streams.
