The forest seemed to have no end.
The sun shone sparingly in the dense jungle, shining on the twisted roots and messy stones on the ground. The air was filled with the smell of moss mixed with rotten leaves, and the deeper they went, the more so it was. One of his feet stepped on a piece of bluestone, but the moss on the bluestone slipped off his foot. Canon fell to the ground, and the angry black youth took out his revolver and almost blew up the hateful bluestone beneath his feet.
A metal javelin reached over and gently pressed down on his hand. The cold metal of the spear tip caused Canon's body temperature to drop slightly due to his anger. Lafite said quietly, "Don't act recklessly unless you want to inform Lucy that we're here."
"Lafite, maybe that bitch lied to us. It's not the first time she's lied." Canon put away his revolver and stepped on the bluestone twice with hatred before giving up.
Lafite shook his head. "I don't think so. Emily isn't strong. You saw it. She knocked us down in three or two strikes. She doesn't have the ability to protect herself, but she's walking here alone. She should be meeting up with Lucy, so … "
As he spoke, something suddenly flashed past the corner of Lafite's eyes. He was alert enough to notice this. He turned his head and looked at a place twenty meters away. A low bush suddenly swayed. Lafite immediately winked at Canon. The two of them lowered their bodies and quietly outflanked him.
There was nothing behind the bushes except moss-covered rocks and roots floating out of the ground. Canon shrugged his shoulders, indicating that there was nothing. Lafite squatted down and reached into the bushes to search for something. A moment later, he pulled out a corner of his clothes.
The fibers at the edge of the corner of his clothes were torn, and he should have been pulled off by a messy branch. Lafite waved his flash at Canon, and the two of them continued to track. Ten minutes later, another shallow footprint appeared on the moss covering the rocks.
Just like that, they discovered that the prey they were tracking seemed to be anxious, revealing more and more flaws. Following these traces, they found an old tree that had already died. All that was left of the old tree was a withered tree trunk, which had corroded into a dark hole. The bushes in front of him parted unnaturally, as if something had just forced its way through the bushes.
The two of them stood outside the tree hole. With the help of the light, they could vaguely see a figure in the tree hole. Rafie winked at Canon and the two of them attacked at the same time. A javelin flew out of Lafite's hand, and at the same time, Canon shot towards the tree hole. Anyway, they couldn't get the antidote, and they didn't expect Lucy to comply with their demands. So, they might as well kill the girl who was ranked third to avoid unnecessary trouble.
A cloud of blood mist exploded in the tree hole. The space inside was limited. No matter how powerful Lucy was, there was no place for her to hide. However, Lafite was very cautious. After stopping the attack, he asked Canon to stay outside and went into the tree hole. He leapt forward and crossed over the shrubs. He lowered his body and crawled into the tree hole. As soon as his foot touched the ground, he felt a sharp pain in his foot.
Lowering his head, he saw some sharp broken bones stuck into the ground at the entrance of the tree hole. The broken bones were sharp, and when Lafite stepped on them, they immediately pierced into the soles of his shoes. Fortunately, he only scratched his foot, and at most, he was slightly injured. However, this was clearly a trap, especially in the depths of the tree hole. His javelin nailed a coat to the wall of the tree hole, and there was the corpse of a cub lying on the ground, so the meaning of a trap became even stronger.
Lafite was about to warn Canon outside when he suddenly realized that he could not shout out and his limbs began to lose control. When he fell to the ground, he saw an imperceptible faint purple fluorescence at the tips of the bones beneath his feet.
Poison?
Lafite was shocked and finally knew what had happened to him.
Outside the tree hole, Canon knew that something had happened when he saw Lafite suddenly fall. Before he could find out who had set the trap, Allen had already rushed out of a bush ten meters away.
As soon as he appeared, Allen used his tactical saber as a javelin and threw it at Canon. The saber pierced through the air and let out a sharp howl. Canon immediately rolled on the ground, then bounced up and fired. Allen's Berserk Slaughter arrived in front of him as soon as the saber left his hand. Berserk Slaughter was like a shield, and Canon's bullet hit the saber. The shock caused Allen's tiger's mouth to ache, and it had already split open.
However, Canon no longer had the chance to fire a second shot, and Allen had already approached him. The black youth roared and flew towards Allen. A smile flashed in the latter's eyes, and his body suddenly rotated to the side, causing Canon's attack to miss.
The figure in front of him disappeared, and before Canon could capture his opponent's figure again, he suddenly felt his entire body float up. The world was spinning strangely in his eyes. Finally, he saw Allen and his corpse that had been slaughtered by Berserk Slaughter!
The entire battle happened in just a few seconds.
Originally, Canon could fire at least two shots, but Allen, who had attacked first, interfered with his tactical saber. When he avoided the saber, it also meant that he lost a chance to shoot. If he could do it again, perhaps Canon would risk being pierced in the chest by the saber and shoot at Allen. That way, the outcome might be different.
Unfortunately, there was no such thing as' if 'in this world.
So Canon died. Allen picked up his revolver and gave a bullet that he didn't have time to fire to Lafite in the tree hole. Lafite was a cautious person, which could be seen from the fact that he was unwilling to take the risk of killing Emily when facing a weak person like her. Instead, he liked to throw tricks behind her back. But now, he also died from his own caution. If he hadn't stepped into the tree hole to confirm Lucy's death, he wouldn't have stepped on the broken bones that Allen had applied neurotoxin to.
Allen felt that trading the poison in the Berserk Wolf Sword Tooth for Lafite's life was a good deal. If possible, he could open a few more times.
After the hunt, it was already dusk when Allen returned to Lucy's hiding place. Dusk was hazy, and the dusk sun painted the ground with a layer of dark yellow light. Just as Allen slid down the grassy slope, the moment the light and darkness met, an ice-cold pistol was already pointed at his temple. Then she put away the pistol and whispered against the grassy slope, "You're back."
Allen shook his head, "I didn't tell you to hide."
"Hiding isn't my style." Lucy shook her pistol. "I don't like hiding. Fighting is my choice."
"To hell with your choice." Allen said angrily. He took out the antidote he had obtained from Emily. He threw it to Lucy and said, "Drink it."
Perhaps it was because of the feeling of being in the shadows, but Allen felt that Lucy didn't look as weak as before. Lucy was obedient this time. She took the bottle and poured the contents into her mouth without saying a word. Allen couldn't help but say, "Why don't you try it? You'll be finished if it's poison."
"I trust you," said Lucy indifferently.
The simple words struck a soft spot in Allen's heart. He stood there for a while. Instead, Lucy looked at him strangely. "What are you doing? You're not poisoned, are you? "
"No … no!"
"Then why are you blushing? Oh, I know. Little Allen, are you thinking of something bad? "
"I'm not thinking of anything bad. Don't talk nonsense." Allen pushed away Lucy's claws and said, "I'm just a little tired. I killed three people in the afternoon …"
At this point, he paused and said, "Emily is dead."
Lucy nodded. "I know."
"You know?"
"She's a smart child, but too smart will force her to death." Lucy shook the empty bottle in her hand. "She must have hidden this thing. Since you got it, she must be dead, no matter what you did."
"Then, how did she do it?"
"Mr. Hannie," Allen gave a simple hint.
Lucy's mind raced and she immediately figured out the key point. "Did she use Teacher Aisha?"
"Yes, they replaced the strengthening potion you used."
"No wonder …" Lucy shook her head. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. What's the next plan, my great hero? "
"First, let's get something to eat. Secondly, we'll leave here tomorrow and find a place to hide for two or three days … "Allen had already started to clean the nearby grass and was preparing to start a fire." When you're completely recovered, we'll go find trouble with others. "
"I like this plan!" Lucy snapped her fingers. Words.
Just as they were about to start a fire and eat dinner, a metal ball flew from above the forest and landed on top of their heads. A few lasers shot down from the bottom of the metal ball and quickly formed a screen. A few people's faces flashed on the screen. They were all dead youths. The whole process of the death arena was broadcasted live. Every night, these metal balls would appear near the survivors and announce the list of the dead.
Of course, after the list was announced, the metal balls would quickly leave. They flew very fast. Even if the youths wanted to find their competitors through the metal balls, they could not keep up with their speed.
After the list of the dead was played three times, the bottom of the metal ball closed and the screen disappeared. The ball rose into the night sky and spat out a few thin blue flames before disappearing into the night.
The number of dead on the list had reached 14. Of the 22 youths, only 8 were left in less than two days. Judging from the previous death arenas, this was the norm. In the first three days, most of the youths would be eliminated, and the remaining were all elites. Usually, at this time, the death arena would truly enter its climax.
For the remaining youths, it was time for a real test of life and death.
The next day, after Allen erased all information about the campsite, he left with Lucy. They headed north and spent a day crossing a grassland. At noon on the second day, they found a river valley. The valley slope extended into the sky at a 45-degree angle, and below it was a rapid river bend. A large river meandered from the northeast. At the bottom of the valley, it made a sharp turn at a shocking 90 degree angle and flowed to the north, disappearing into a vast forest.
