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

Matsushita's health bar dropped to 98% instantly, and with the last 2% remaining, his remaining consciousness saw him being cleaved in two.

Extreme terror made him tremble all over. Before he died, he remembered the words the Chinese men had said to them: What's the point of resistance? The weak are meant to be humiliated!

So... I'm not that awesome after all. Who exactly is this Chinese guy? He's terrifyingly strong!

Matsushita Nozomi disappeared in a flash of white light; he was eliminated.

"Who...who are you?" Sivir and Randall were shocked by the bloody scene before them.

The main problem was that the person in front of them was a complete stranger; they had never seen him before.

Logically, since everyone is an explorer around level 6, they should have met in the maze.

They never imagined that Lin Mo had already reached level 6 on the second floor, while they were deep in the fifth and sixth floors and had no chance of encountering Lin Mo.

The severely injured Ran Xiaoxi and Liu Yu were filled with shock: When did the Dragon Kingdom produce such a figure at this level? He's ridiculously strong, and this toad is actually his battle pet?

Chinese netizens in the live stream were also very excited.

They were furious when they saw this group hunting their own people, but there was nothing they could do.

When Sivir uttered the words "The weak are meant to be humiliated," Lin Mo appeared and retaliated against his enemy in the same way, even more cruelly.

Humiliating the weak? They never imagined they would be the weaker party; being bullied is truly unpleasant.

[Chinese netizens: Awesome! It gave me goosebumps. Well done!]

[A netizen from China commented: They really think they're the strongest. They're so arrogant after winning with numbers, but they never expected someone to be even more ruthless. Brother Lin is a true man; when his compatriots are in trouble, he doesn't hesitate at all.]

[A netizen from Pakistan commented: Kabu is so domineering! He charged forward and then finished the battle with a single claw!]

[A netizen from Russia commented: "This is the first time I've ever thought a toad is so cool, what's going on?"]

Sivir and Randall retreated step by step; the Chinese man in front of them was too terrifying.

"Randall, watch the left side. I'll cover your right side. We have no choice but to fight." Sivir's words were resolute.

"I'll fight with all my might! Huh? Where is he?" Randall drew his longsword, preparing to deal with Lin Mo who was approaching step by step, only to be surprised to find that Sivir had already run away. "Damn it!!!"

[A netizen from India: Is this something a human would do? Selling out teammates?]

[Chinese netizens: Hahaha, this is hilarious! Is this the Western Alliance style?]

[A Pakistani netizen commented: "Useless at everything, but number one at running away! It's practically a fine tradition."]

[A netizen from the Free Nation: It's better for one to escape than two to die. What's wrong with you taking the fall? What are you complaining about? This is called Free Nation First!]

Lin Mo wielded his sword, as did Randall. Without exchanging any words, they immediately engaged in a chaotic battle. Meanwhile, Kabu went to chase after the fleeing Sivir. With a level 7 health, chasing a level 6 enemy was no problem.

The value of a level 10 swordsmanship skill was immediately apparent as soon as the battle began.

"Clang..." Lin Mo unleashed a direct strike with his sword, seemingly casual, but in reality, he didn't care much.

Randall drew his sword with both hands to meet the attack, and the sound of metal clashing against metal suddenly rang out.

But Randall immediately noticed something was wrong. The seemingly casual strike from the Chinese man was not only powerful and heavy at the moment of contact, but also immediately changed in attack. The blades crossed, and he actually used the momentum of the previous strike to lightly flick towards his own abdomen.

"Pfft..." A 20-centimeter-long gash was ripped open in his abdomen, and blood gushed out like it was free.

After just one exchange, Randall showed a look of horror.

Both are level 6 life forms, so why can't I withstand even one hit? That doesn't make sense!

He didn't realize that his swordsmanship was far inferior to his opponent's. What did he think it was? Level 10 swordsmanship?

When he used beast cores to exchange for food to enhance his life essence, Lin Mo was all-in on swordsmanship. What could you possibly compare to that?

Randall was afraid, but he was afraid too soon, because something even worse was yet to come.

Lin Mo walked slowly toward him, her eyes looking at him as if he were a lamb to be slaughtered.

"So bullying the weak really feels good, no wonder you guys like this kind of thing," Lin Mo sneered, and then slashed down with his sword again.

Just as Lin Mo's blade tip landed above his forehead, Randall blocked it with his own blade, and the two were locked in a stalemate. Lin Mo continued to exert his strength.

"Thump!" Randall was also completely suppressed in terms of strength. He held the knife with both hands and dared not be negligent. His body was forced to kneel down under the pressure of the enormous force.

But Lin Mo's blade continued to slide downwards, and Randall watched helplessly as the steel blade slowly sliced ​​through his forehead, eyelids, face, and then his chin, before heading straight for his throat.

"No, no, no, no!" Randall pleaded in terror.

"Too late!" Lin Mo smiled contemptuously and exerted downward force with his hand.

"Splat..." Without any mercy, the steel knife continued to cut down from the chin, completely slicing open Randall's throat, and blood gushed out.

"Thud!" Lin Mo pushed the hilt of the knife forcefully, and the entire steel blade pierced through the opponent's neck.

Randall, his face filled with terror, collapsed to the ground.

Pat-pat-pat... The sound of cheerful footsteps came from afar.

Lin Mo turned around and saw Kabu dragging the barely alive Sivir back.

Its large mouth gripped Sivir's leg and brute forcefully pulled him back. Sivir's health bar was still at 10%, but his body was covered in cuts and bruises from Kabu's claws. His eyes were lifeless, and he seemed to have no will to live.

Kabu tossed Sivir to the ground and then squatted down, sticking out his tongue in a boastful manner, saying, "Chirp! (Isn't your brother Kabu awesome?)"

Lin Mo ignored it and went to check on his two compatriots' injuries.

One has 17% health left, and the other has 10%. Their injuries are too severe and are still worsening.

"Comrade, thank you!" Liu Yu struggled to get up, and Lin Mo helped him up.

Comrade? For the first time, Lin Mo felt much closer to the people in this world. "Don't move around too much; you need to rest and take your medicine."

"Comrade, don't worry about us." The young woman next to him was named Ran Xiaoxi. She exchanged a glance with Liu Yu and nodded, as if they had reached an agreement.

Ran Xiaoxi took out a bottle of slug nutrient solution from her temporary competition backpack, while Liu Yu took out a bottle of Swiftness Potion. The two of them handed it to Lin Mo together.

"You? You can take it yourselves and hold on a little longer." Lin Mo didn't reach out to take it. At a time like this, why didn't he use it himself and instead gave it to a stranger he had just met?

"Comrade, we are no longer able to continue. Please accept this and carry on our journey, on behalf of the Dragon Kingdom!"

Lin Mo: "This..."

"Please!" the two said earnestly.

Lin Mo carefully accepted the supplies the two handed him; they were invaluable for the competition.

"What about you? Should I take you to a safer place up ahead? If you stay here, you'll definitely run into people from the Western Alliance." Lin Mo felt there was still something he could do for them.

"Hahaha, that's exactly what we've been waiting for. Since we can't walk anymore, we might as well use this crippled body to hold them off for a little while longer, just to do our part for our compatriots in the Dragon Kingdom."
