Survival of the Nation: My luck was a tiny bit worse.

Chen Hao whispered from the side, "Why don't we let Leng teammate do his thing first? You can use this time to familiarize yourself with the controls—"

"Shut up!"

"OK."

So Ou Yun looked at the screen again and squinted.

It's just a skill combo, as if nobody can't do it!

Europe takes a deep breath—

My fingers danced across the skill keys.

↑↑EQ ↓←→ Space!

Leng Ruolan's body was once again driven by commands.

A golden light shone from her right fist—a sign that her skill had taken effect.

At the same time, his limbs were also covered with this golden light.

"Oh?"

Leng Ruolan looked at her fist, raised an eyebrow, and said, "A minor skill? Interesting."

"Let's go, Captain Leng!"

While shouting, Ou Yun frantically pressed the direction keys.

"Let's go then!"

Leng Ruolan took a deep breath, and the golden light on her right fist grew stronger and stronger.

Of course, the monster noticed this change as well.

Its four-lobed mouth snapped shut, and the dark red light in the gaps between its bone armor began to flash wildly, as if it were gathering power for some even bigger attack.

You have skills, and so do I!

However, before Leng Ruolan could finish charging up, she pushed off the ground with her enhanced legs and launched herself out like a cannonball!

Leng Ruolan's right fist trailed a golden flame, creating a piercing explosion in the air.

"This punch—"

European Games press the sprint button repeatedly.

"—For our little cabin!!"

Leng Ruolan roared and punched the monster in the face with her right fist.

"Thump!!"

A burst of golden light erupted.

The monster's four-lobed mouth was instantly closed into three lobes by the punch.

Only the bottommost petal remained, futilely opening and closing, hissing out a small wisp of blue smoke.

Fragments of bone armor flew everywhere, one of which flew towards the camp and slapped onto the cow's face.

The cow was still asleep, sleeping soundly.

"Wow, you got equipment so quickly."

Chen Hao ripped the piece off the cow's face with a tearing sound. "Let's see what they say after this is over, hehe."

Ou Yuncai had no time to care about equipment; he was completely focused on the screen in front of him.

The monster was sent flying backward by the punch, crashing through countless trees and plowing two miles of land.

Leng Ruolan's attack was highly effective. The monster's body stopped at the end of the scorch marks, and the light from the gaps in its bone armor noticeably weakened, changing from dark red to a weak, pale pink.

"It works great!"

Leng Ruolan looked at her fist; the golden light had not completely faded.

She immediately shouted excitedly at Ou Yun, "One more time!"

"no problem!"

Overjoyed, Ou Yun pressed the skill button again—

[Current energy is low, please wait to recharge.]

He was stunned for a moment.

Holy crap! Why is there still a blue bar?!

Meanwhile, Leng Ruolan noticed that Ou Yun wasn't responding, and she knew without a doubt that something small had happened again.

So be it.

She decided to ignore the instructions and charged towards the monster.

Anyway, the current enhancement effect is still there.

Leng Ruolan, standing seven meters tall, ran wildly through the forest, each step leaving a deep crater in the ground.

The trees were blown about by the wind pressure she created, and leaves flew everywhere.

The monster had barely gotten up from the ground, its four-lobed mouth not even having a chance to open, when a golden fist was already poking it in the face.

"Thump!!"

Another punch.

The monster's head was knocked back, and its entire body flew off with its head, bounced twice on the ground, broke a row of trees, and finally got stuck between two boulders.

Fragments of bone armor fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Cool!"

Leng Ruolan flicked the bone fragments off her fist and snorted coldly.

Since arriving in the forbidden area, she has basically been using guns, cannons, traps, and various firearms to solve problems.

Occasionally, they engage in close combat, but only against beasts of average size.

A fight like this, with every punch landing like a real punch?

This is the fighting style she's always dreamed of!

"Captain Leng! Watch out!"

Suddenly, the voice of Ou Yun echoed in my mind.

Leng Ruolan instantly became alert and, without thinking, performed a backflip.

A blue flame erupted from where she had just stood, instantly burning a large, charred hole in the ground.

The monster had somehow crawled out from between the two boulders.

Its expression looked even more ferocious. Its four mouths were fully open, and blue flames were frantically gathering in its throat.

Obviously.

The monster's defenses have been completely breached.

"roar--"

The monster let out a deafening roar, and incandescent flames spewed from the gaps in its bone armor.

Flames flowed across its surface, as if it were draped in a layer of fiery armor.

The surrounding trees even skipped the burning stage and were directly vaporized by the high temperature.

The air began to distort, and waves of heat spread outwards in all directions.

Even Chen Hao, who was standing far away and hiding behind the cow, could feel his face burning from the heat.

Chen Hao, lying on the ox's back, wiped the sweat from his brow. "Wait, there are actually three stages?"

"You're absolutely right," Ou Yun exclaimed. "The special effects, the sheer budget—it's like they burned through a mountain of money!"

Nanbei and Ludou had shrunk into two small, fluffy balls, clinging tightly to the cow's belly.

The chat in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream exploded again:

"Wow! These special effects! The budget is burning!"

"This isn't some forbidden wilderness, this is the Pacific Rim!"

"Mr. Ou, hurry up and unleash your ultimate move!"

Of course, the European Union is struggling.

The gold light on the Q key continued to flash slowly, and the countdown for the cooldown was moving slower than a snail.

Time remaining: 1 minute 12 seconds.

The player yelled, "Holy crap! Why is it still on cooldown?!"

"Who designed this thing's skills? Do they even know how to make games? Don't they know that the cooldown of ultimate skills is halved during boss battles?!"

Chen Hao muttered under his breath from behind, "Dude, this isn't a game..."

"Why not?"

Ou Yun pointed to the directional keys and skill keys on the screen.

"Look at this interface! Look at this key layout! If this weren't a game, I'd eat this screen!"

"...That's true."

On the battlefield.

Leng Ruolan has already re-engaged in battle with the third-stage monster.

Leng Ruolan cast a buff on herself, and the monster seemed to follow suit, casting a buff on itself as well.

Its flames inflict a burning effect on every attack it makes.

Although Leng Ruolan could withstand the attack thanks to her enhanced physical abilities, every time she blocked a shot, she felt like she was being burned by a lighter.

"hiss!"

The pain was sharp, but the enhanced self-healing ability was also at work—even if I was burned, it was only a slight burn.

"Big brother, how much longer until the ultimate move?"

"Forty seconds left!"

"Can you hurry up!"

"This isn't something I can decide!"

Ou Yun's fingers frantically tapped the Q key—as if that would speed up the cooldown.

Seizing the opportunity, the monster suddenly changed its attack pattern.

It suddenly stopped using its fists and flames, and instead spread out all four arms at the same time!

The flames within the gaps in its bone armor suddenly contracted, concentrating entirely on its chest.

A small white light condensed on its chest, growing larger and brighter.

"...!!"

Buhou!
