But Zhang Tao hesitated and glanced at the treasure chest in front of him again, feeling very unwilling.

After all, he had already repelled two waves of enemies, and he was unwilling to leave like this.

However, Zhang Tao also understands his current state; his strength is now less than half of what it used to be.

And the toxin on my ankle—the band-aid only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. If it drags on for too long, I'm afraid I'll lose my fighting ability.

"You two... want to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?" Zhang Tao narrowed his eyes. Although he wasn't in good shape, he still wanted to bluff.

"Heh..." But Lin Xiao had already seen through Zhang Tao's bluff.

"The fisherman's gain? In your current situation, you're not even a clam or a snipe; at best, you're a fish that's already been caught by the fisherman!" Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Tao with indifferent eyes, but his words were extremely sarcastic.

"You!" Zhang Tao was furious when he heard Lin Xiao's mockery.

But he really didn't want to let this treasure chest go, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to go through with it first.

Zhang Tao clasped his hands together, and several ice spikes and water arrows once again surrounded him, shooting towards Lin Xiao one by one.

Meanwhile, Nelly had already hidden in the distance, watching the game while eating potato chips.

But seeing that the attacks were no longer as fast as before, Lin Xiao simply used his Instant Step to dodge the ice spikes.

Seeing this, Zhang Tao's heart sank, astonished by Lin Xiao's skill.

His attacks were indeed a bit slow.

But Zhang Tao did not give up. He moved his hands again, and a water dragon once more condensed above his head.

Zhang Tao's eyes were filled with anger. With a wave of his hand, a long water jet rushed towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao smiled as he looked at the water dragon, then spread his palm, and a water dragon that was longer and larger than Zhang Tao's appeared above Lin Xiao's head.

Zhang Tao stared in disbelief at the attack on Lin Xiao's head, which was bigger than his own but resembled a water dragon.

"How is that possible!"

Zhang Tao was utterly shocked. He never expected that the person in front of him could use his skills, and even more powerful ones at that.

"Damn it, I don't believe it!" Zhang Tao came back to his senses, his heart filled with resentment. This time, he unleashed his killing move, the Ice Vortex Strangulation.

But Zhang Tao watched as Lin Xiao chuckled, and then the same move was released from Lin Xiao's palm once again.

Zhang Tao stared wide-eyed at the scene, then gave a bitter laugh: "Although I don't know what talent you used to do this, now that I've discovered this secret, I guess I'm doomed!"

Then, the Ice Vortex's strangulation attack broke through Zhang Tao's attack, and then, with undiminished momentum, swept Zhang Tao into it.

"I never imagined I'd die because of my own talent!"

This was Zhang Tao's last thought before he died.

Zhang Tao was completely killed by Lin Xiao's Ice Vortex Strangulation. Lin Xiao took two steps forward and began to loot the corpse.

However, apart from the teardrop-shaped necklace he was wearing around his neck, nothing else was found.

Lin Xiao held the teardrop-shaped necklace in her hand, thought for a moment, and then tossed it to Nelly: "Here you go!"

"Huh? I don't want it either..." Nelly heard Lin Xiao's words and subconsciously caught the necklace that Lin Xiao threw to her, then looked at it with disgust.

After all, Endurance now has almost 30 Tier 3 items.

Although she had previously said that she hoped to unlock Tier 1 and Tier 2 items, she really disliked items that were taken from other people.

Then, Lin Xiao paused in his motion to open the treasure chest, turning to Nelly: "You do it, you do it!"

"Oh!" Nelly jogged forward a couple of steps and opened the treasure chest in one go. Inside was another Tier 3 item, which made Lin Xiao's lips twitch incessantly.

Nelly thought for a moment, then put the first-tier teardrop necklace into the box and took out the third-tier item.

After doing all this, Nelly looked at Lin Xiao: "Let's go, first place."

Lin Xiao nodded. They really should leave. The noise from the battle must have already attracted the attention of the surrounding survivors.

The two hadn't gone far when they heard hurried footsteps ahead. Lin Xiao pulled Nelly and hid in an abandoned building nearby.

The newcomers turned out to be a five-person survivor squad.

Lin Xiao looked at them and instantly deconstructed the five of them.

Deconstructing the human survivor Zhao Feng: Tier 1, Talent Level D (Mega Strength).

Deconstructing the human survivor Li Na, Tier 1, Talent Level D (Agility).

Deconstructing the human survivor Wang Hao, Tier 1, Talent Level D (Iron Body).

"Deconstructing the human survivor Chen Xue, Tier 1, Talent Level D (Healing Hand)."

"Deconstructing the human survivor Zhou Ming, Tier 1, Talent Level D (Perception)."

"Huh?" Although the talent level of these five people is all D-level, their abilities can complement each other.

Strength, speed, defense, healing, and perception—all five abilities are present, perfectly complementing each other.

The only weakness is that the talent levels of all five of them are somewhat low. However, if the five of them cooperate, Lin Xiao believes that they can still force someone like Zhang Tao to retreat.

Moreover, all five of them are at level 1 in terms of strength.

Zhao Feng: "The area that just exploded should be here, right? There's still a treasure chest left? And a corpse?"

Zhou Ming closed his eyes, sensed his surroundings, shook his head, and said, "I didn't find anyone else around."

"Captain Chen Xue, what should we do?"

A beautiful, fair-skinned woman with long legs, known as Captain Chen Xue, pondered for a moment before quickly saying, "Let's open the treasure chest first and see if anyone has already taken the items inside!"

"Li Na, Zhou Ming, keep watch on the surroundings!"

"yes!"

Zhou Ming immediately closed his eyes, activating his perception talent, while Li Na quickly moved to a higher place to keep watch over the surroundings.

Wang Hao, who possessed an iron body, quickly stood beside Captain Chen Xue to prevent a possible sudden attack.

Inside the treasure chest was only a necklace that Nelly had thrown in.

However, only these two people didn't care about Tier 1 items, but most survivors would collect even Tier 1 items very well.

The five were delighted to find a Tier 5 Water Drop Necklace in the treasure chest. After some discussion, the necklace was put on their captain, Chen Xue.

The soft water shield inside the teardrop necklace can effectively protect Chen Xue's safety.
