Surviving the Maze of National Destiny: Hints from the Chinese Characters I Understand

"Pfft..." The moonlight was like water, and the blade was sharp.

The three men had a deep wound on their waist and abdomen, and their intestines were about to spill out.

Lin Mo was very satisfied with the power of the new move; the level 10 swordsmanship was indeed well-deserved of its reputation.

Park Tae-sang was furious. "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! What I said wasn't right!"

Bahan shook his head. "It's all fate; Shiva had already made arrangements."

"Fuck your god!" Kim Hyo-yong kicked Bahan in the stomach, causing him to spit out two ounces of blood.

Lin Mo showed them no mercy. These people were clearly after him. He looked pitiful now because he was inferior in skill, and he deserved it!

If we were the weaker party, they would probably be incredibly arrogant right now.

Lin Mo slashed with his sword, while Kabu's claws sliced ​​across their throats.

The greatest respect you can show to your enemy is to annihilate them completely!

【恭喜您击杀3名6级探索者，竞赛积分+18，当前总积分：35。精英组参赛总人数（743/791人），存活人数我们将实时更新。】

Holy crap, this guy died pretty fast.

Lin Mo examined the three boxes one by one, and only found one item in Bahan's box: a crudely made explosive grenade.

[Explosive Grenade: After a 3-second delay following activation, it explodes, dealing area damage within a 10-meter radius. It is lethal to creatures below level 5, and its effectiveness decreases with level for creatures above level 5.]

Oh? There's such a thing? Why isn't he using it? Did he not understand the prompt? Or is he holding back? Or did he get instantly killed and didn't realize what was happening?

Anyway, this is mine now. If I use it in a crisis, it'll be pretty awesome.

This explosive grenade is lethal to people below level 5 and dungeon creatures. Being hit by it is also quite painful for level 5 and 6 people. In the elite group, it can be considered a powerful weapon.

Lin Mo picked up the grenade, threw it into his makeshift competition backpack, and left the house.

Kabu was the one who put in the effort in both battles, and his health dropped by 4% while Kabu's dropped by 9%.

The rate of decline is three times faster than usual, which is indeed a bit too incredible. I have two choices: either fight less or collect more resources to restore my health.

Lin Mo naturally chose the latter, as this would allow him to gain more competition points. With that thought in mind, Lin Mo called Kabu and continued south.

In Dragon Kingdom's livestream room #50, Dragon Kingdom explorer Wang Zhan teamed up with explorers from Batan Kingdom to fight four explorers from Western Alliance. In the end, they chose to take one of the explorers from the opposing side down with them, and were eliminated together.

The live stream chat erupted in uproar.

[A Chinese netizen commented: "Two against four, they're doing pretty well if they can take one down with them."]

[Free Nation Netizen: Haha, but we outnumber you! And we took down two of you with just one player. In the upcoming matches, our Western Alliance's total numerical advantage will only grow. How are we supposed to compete?]

[Chinese netizens: We have Brother Lin!]

[A netizen from India: Yes, yes, yes, your Brother Lin can take on 20 people at once? Right?]

[A netizen from the Great Cold Country commented: That's how people from China are; they can always find a way to comfort themselves.]

[A netizen from China commented: "Brother Lin has already eliminated 3 people; it's not impossible for him to eliminate dozens more."]

[A netizen from the Rising Sun Kingdom commented: "Stupid. That's because they're scattered now. It's normal for him to have a slight advantage because of that fat toad. Soon their health will drop and the safe zone will get smaller and smaller. Let's see how he faces our Western Alliance's siege then."]

[A netizen from India: We're waiting for the circle to shrink, what are you waiting for? To die?]

The Dragon Kingdom netizens sighed and silently returned to Lin Mo's live stream. Since the start of the race, 11 explorers from the Dragon Kingdom or its allies have been eliminated in the battle against the Western Alliance.

Although the Dragon Kingdom explorers were very brave, even if they were to be eliminated, they would take someone down with them. However, the enemy had a clear numerical advantage, and even if they continued to exchange like this, it was not a solution.

All our hopes rest on Lin Mo!

After traveling another kilometer, Lin Mo tried to avoid unnecessary battles along the way. He could see the prompts and knew that some battles had no loot, so it was just a waste of health points and had no meaning.

But this time, it's different!

Lin Mo saw a series of prompts appear in a dense forest 100 meters ahead.

【不好了，2名龙国探索者冉小熙5级（44%）、刘宇6级（11%）被3名西盟探索者围住了，他们分别是自由国探索者希维尔6（4%），天竺国探索者兰德尔5级（66%），旭日国探索者6级（17%）】

They're stealing a bottle of slug nutrient solution and a bottle of Swiftness potion that the Dragon Kingdom explorers just acquired. Your compatriots are in trouble, don't you want to go and see?

"Kabu, let's go!" Lin Mo quickened his pace.

Lin Mo knew that the number of people in the elite group, including the Dragon Kingdom and its allies, was less than that of the Western Alliance. He would definitely help if he could, and more importantly, he couldn't let these competition supplies fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Gurgle! Gurgle! (Let's go! Let's take them down!)"

Lin Mo and Kabu quickly approached the woods. You ask why they approached so openly without even trying to hide?

That's a question for the 510-pound Fat Cappuccino. You're asking if its size can be hidden.

"Damn it, I really don't know what you're resisting for? Wouldn't it be better to just obediently let us eliminate you? You've taken away 30 points of my health, damn it!!!" Free Nation explorer Sivir severely injured Liu Yu with a slash, then stomped on his chest. As he exerted force, Liu Yu's wound bled profusely, and his health bar was about to run out.

Ran Xiaoxi, who was next to her, also clutched her stomach, and then suddenly lunged at the other person's feet and bit the other person's leg with her mouth!

"Madman, madman!" Another explorer, Matsushita Nosane, quickly knocked her away and then pierced her collarbone with a longsword.

Sivir's eyes flashed with malice. "What's the point of fearless resistance? The weak are meant to be humiliated." He raised his longsword, ready to deliver his final blow to the two men before him.

"Crack, crack, crack..." Suddenly, the sound of something moving quickly and breaking down trees along its path came from the woods, like a thunderclap.

"What is that? A monster from the competition?" Matsushita Nosane immediately became alert.

"Watch out!" Sivir saw a huge, round object rushing towards Matsushita Nobuta from behind. It looked like a large gas cylinder, but its thick forelimbs had golden claws that looked like strange sharp claws.

Those sharp claws danced wildly in the air, snapping trees in their path with a single blow. What kind of monster is this?

Matsushita Nobutane immediately turned around, drew his sword, and thrust back. As a level 6 swordsman, he was confident in his swordsmanship and quick reflexes.

But... all skills are so powerless in the face of absolute power.

An ordinary longsword crumbles upon contact with the superior Death Grip; Matsushita's arm goes numb from the shock, and the longsword flies out of his hand.

Then, Kabu's other Death Grip ripped open his abdomen.

"Pfft..." The sharp claws pierced his abdomen, pulling out his intestines. Matsushita bastard coughed up blood and flew backward.

A Chinese man slowly appeared behind Kabu, gripping a steel knife and glaring fiercely: "What's the point of resistance? The weak are meant to be humiliated!"

With a single, swift stroke, the moonlight shone brightly, and the blade flashed fiercely, severing Matsushita Yasuke's already severely injured abdomen in two.
