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

Immediately afterwards, the black panther's movements gradually slowed down.

The leopard seemed to be paused, and its two front paws, which had been pouncing, slowly landed on the ground.

Ou Yun, who had been waiting to die with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes a crack after not feeling any beast lunging at him.

Then I saw this big black panther, clutching its hind paws—

On the paw pad, a familiar-looking thing was sticking out.

"...!"

After looking at it for a while, Ou Yun slapped his forehead.

Oh!

Isn't that his Tetanus Blade?

If I remember correctly, that section of the blade was completely stuck in the ground at the time...

Now it's stuck in this guy's foot.

The black panther hugged its hind paws and slowly raised its head.

"..."

"..."

The man and the leopard stared at each other.

"Ughh ...

Black Panther let out a scream like Tom the cat and jumped three feet high.

Ou Yun thought to himself, "Dude, this isn't my fault, you're the one who wasn't watching where you were going!"

Viewers in the Dragon Kingdom live stream: ?

"No way, this actually works?"

"Why not? That's too inconvenient, hahaha!"

"Hey, didn't your mother teach you not to look left and right when crossing the street?"

"Hilarious! It's hard to tell who's unlucky!"

"..."

But soon, Ou Yun's smile faded.

Black Panther had stacked two layers of buffs, and the entire panther was about to explode with anger.

"roar--!"

You scoundrel, you tricked me! Aaaaaaah!

Six blood-red eyes snapped open, and the creature opened its gaping maw to bite at Ou Yun's neck.

This startled Ou Yun. Before his mind could even process it, his body reacted instinctively, and he immediately turned around and rolled on the ground.

Black Panther was so enraged by this buff that he became somewhat delirious.

It was already quite large, and with the rain and the ground slippery, it was even worse.

The lunge barely grazed Ou Yun's scalp.

The leopard, being so large, immediately slid down the wet grass like a freshly baked pizza, seemingly about to launch itself into a second whirlwind of motion—

But who is it? The black panther from the forbidden wilderness!

A leopard cannot fall in two places!

A leopard cannot step into two rivers!

It's a feline! It's one of the most coordinated animals!

The black panther flipped its two hind paws, spun, leaped, and stretched out its body like an inverted twisted rope—

If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case.

But as luck would have it...

This tree is the same tree where the rope was hung during the European Games.

Its hind claws snagged on the broken rope that Ou Yun had casually hung on the tree.

Although the rope was broken, its sheer strength produced a miracle. It managed to wrap around the playful paw several times, effectively trapping it tightly.

In that instant, the black leopard's balance was broken.

With a deft touch, Black Panther fell headfirst to the ground again, his hind legs in the air and his rear end sticking up high.

Her pose was quite alluring.

I felt a little embarrassed for Ou Yun, who witnessed the whole thing.

Little shopper, you're so good at twisting!

Wait, now is not the time to complain about this!

Ou Yun suddenly realized that this was the perfect opportunity to escape!

Should I finish him off?

No, please.

With his terrible luck, if the tree breaks and he manages to get free, wouldn't the situation turn around again?

I don't need to!

I'm now tied to the fate of the nation; I can't just give up so easily!

but.

Never expected it!

"Click."

A crisp, clear sound.

This tree is already in grave danger after being disturbed by the European winds.

Now that Black Panther has ruined it so much, it'll be over in the blink of an eye.

Black Panther felt the strength in his hind legs loosen, and his entire body shot forward like an arrow.

"Awooooo!"

The black panther scratched wildly on the ground.

It couldn't catch it; the ground was wet and full of puddles, and it had scraped away all the sparse grass.

The black panther finally felt a sense of panic and suddenly looked ahead.

If I remember correctly, the beginning was something like this—

"Whoosh!"

My body felt empty.

A cliff suddenly appeared before them.

It's over 100 meters high, no matter if it's a black panther or a leopard, once it falls, it'll turn into a firecracker.

There was even a bare tree growing below.

The branches are straight and even. They are thick where they should be thick and thin where they should be thin, branching where they should branch and converging where they should converge.

It looks like a beautiful barbecue grill.

After its initial shock, the black panther had no idea why such a strange thing was growing in this place.

A sudden pain shot through my hind leg.

The black panther bounced violently in mid-air, then turned its head, baring its teeth.

His hind legs were tied with a rope, and the rope was tied to the tree he had just missed.

"call……"

Black Panther breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, I didn't fall down completely; at least I didn't end up like a leopard that's been smashed into eight pieces.

until.

Beside the tree, the sneaky two-legged creature appeared.

The two-legged creature was perched on the cliff, peering out.

Still acting suspiciously.

"..."

I don't know why.

A chilling premonition suddenly surged within Black Panther's heart.

Sure enough, the next second...

"Bang!"

What's making that sound of something kicking a tree?

The tree shook violently.

It also shuddered and swayed in the air a few times.

"Bang!!"

Another kick.

Use more force than last time.

The tree drooped down.

It also shook itself.

"..."

Black Panther couldn't help but take a deep breath and look up at the top of the cliff.

Coincidentally, the two-legged creature also came over, its eyes narrowed into slits as it smiled, and it even waved at it.

"..."

Black Panther's six eyes went black, and he closed them.

Forget it...

I'm tired...

"Crack!"

As expected, the rope snapped instantly.

Despite the hardships and difficulties, the Black Panther athlete finally completed the highly difficult aerial panther maneuver.

"Pfft!"

The plane successfully crashed into a dead tree.

[Congratulations to Ou Yun from China for successfully defeating the hidden mutated beast: the Six-Eyed Black Panther!]

[Reward: White Supply Crate]

[Triggered a 10,000x multiplier: Six-Eyed Black Panther!]

[Note: Supply boxes can only be obtained by defeating mutated beasts. The supply box levels, from highest to lowest, are gold, purple, blue, and white.]

The process was so bizarre, and the death so sudden, that the announcement of the nation's fate remained displayed in the live broadcast room for a full half minute before the viewers even reacted.

"What are you hiding?"

"What kind of reward?"

"What was invested at a 10,000-fold increase?"

"Six-eyed black panther??"

After a long while, the audience seemed to wake up from a dream and were instantly blown away.

"Holy crap!?"

"See? I told you the European Games athlete was a hidden talent, hahaha!"

"Hidden beast? No wonder this leopard has six eyes."

"Indeed, to casually take down a hidden-level beast with just three trash items—a master! A true master!"

"His luck is killing me! He's got good luck – it rained and a mutated black panther appeared right from the start. But then again, he's unlucky – the panther just got killed so easily, hahaha!"

"So what? Just tell me, is Black Panther dead or not!"

"Okay, now I know why his name is Ou Yun (meaning 'good luck'), hahaha!"

"I'd call it, the Lucky Triangle Kill!"

"..."

Foreign audiences were even more stunned:

"WTF! This actually works?!"

"No way! How can you guys do this? You rely entirely on the prey's instinct to kill them?!"

"What?! Hiding a beast? What kind of operation is this?"

"How come there are hidden beasts and hidden items? Why are you able to get them?!"

"A 10,000-fold increase? You've already increased it 10,000 times? What a joke! You despicable Chinese!"

"Your contestants don't even know the most basic thing—starting a fire. Now that you've managed to kill a leopard, you'll probably just have to eat it raw and then die from infection!"

"Pah! It was just a lucky break once in a while. Can luck feed you?!"

"..."
