Aside from their different weapons, Steve and his three companions wore similar protective gear, all being light armor made with modern technology.

Although it is light armor, its protective capabilities are by no means weak. It neither hinders their movements nor is it as bulky as ancient armor.

There's no way around it; the bald eagle's territory was seized, and its national history can be written in less than ten A4 pages. Its archaeological research focuses on Native American chamber pots.

Besides these four, the last one is quite interesting. He is a middle-aged man, but his weapons and equipment are genuine and have been passed down from ancient times because he is an Indian.

Spears and battle axes, short swords and shields, bows and arrows, and leather armor made using ancient methods.

None of these five people were first-time participants; their appearances, codenames, weapons, and combat capabilities were all documented.

Don't assume that people facing death only watch live streams and place bets at home; they also collect information about the players' characteristics.

These five people are the focus of our attention at the gates of hell.

Of course, this doesn't mean the other contestants lack fighting spirit; it's just that the level of importance placed on them is different.

Vikings, Spartan warriors, Byzantine armored soldiers, Crusaders, the League of Assassins, and so on.

Every country has its own history, and although some traditions have been lost, this does not prevent them from replicating these historical legends.

There have even been instances where teams from two different countries were equipped with identical weapons and equipment.

However, in general, most of these historical weapons and equipment existed in the form of military forces.

Now appearing as a five-person squad, their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

This is characteristic of those who follow the bald eagle's power, and it is full of ancient elements.

In contrast, the forces sent by the surrounding powers of China include not only their own swordsmen but also modern martial arts fighters.

The Japanese soldiers were all ninjas, but ninjas were indeed suitable for the current situation.

Indians wear armor that looks like works of art, and their weapons are so bizarre they're unbearable to look at: bladed rings, two-meter-long flexible swords, and three such flexible swords on a single hilt.

Whether it can kill or not is unknown, but Ye Zi felt that waving it around was almost like self-harm.

In addition to these, there was another group of people wielding double sticks, mainly using them to strike continuously.

Another person was carrying a snake-shaped sword; the kukri was also part of the equipment of a certain team.

All sorts of weapons suddenly appeared around the leaves.

Some came with the intention of joining Steve, while others came to pick off and kill other contestants.

Dozens of people appeared around the leaf, slowly feeling their way forward.

Those who arrive early and get close quickly will inevitably become prey for others.

When the five members of the first team were killed, they startled several birds resting in the trees, and that spot became the target of everyone's attacks.

After succeeding, the five immediately changed positions. Ye Zi looked at the direction the five had headed in through the reconnaissance screen she was looking at, and smiled disdainfully.

At this point, retreating or hiding in place is the best course of action; even moving forward quickly is safer than changing course.

Sure enough, the five of them didn't get far before they became prey for others. However, this fight was unsuccessful. In the eight-person melee, the two seriously wounded could only watch their teammates being killed and then being finished off themselves.

In less than twenty minutes, ten people died. This is the struggle for survival in the wilderness, the struggle for life.

Steve's side also reaped considerable rewards, with over twenty people divided into two teams: one responsible for providing support, and the other for advancing.

After wiping out a four-man squad, Steve successfully found a team of allies.

Ye Zi looked at the four-person team that had been wiped out with a speechless expression. You've already lost one person, and you still came to join in the fun. With such bright firelight, it's obvious that there must be more than one team coming.

Four against five, can't you see who has the better chance of winning? Now look what's happened, they've just given away a bunch of free kills.

This is only the first night; everyone has been holding back for a long time. And everyone's energy and stamina are at their peak. A team that has suffered casualties should play it safe at this point, not engage in direct confrontation.

Conserve our strength and recharge our energy. Wait until everyone has fought a few times and suffered losses before we start moving again.

Doesn't he understand special operations? Has he never even played a game? How confident is he in his own combat abilities?

The viewing time was short; more than twenty corpses appeared within the system's detection range.

A pebble appeared in Ye Zi's hand, and she turned her head to look in the direction where the fastest group of people had appeared.

The team consisted of five people, all wielding a snake-shaped sword. Ye Zi recognized this sword as a Malay sword, capable of slashing, but even more suitable for thrusting; it was better suited for assassination than direct combat.

When the five men looked toward the fire, they were greeted by leaves leaning against a tree, their eyes standing out brightly in the firelight.

Then a whooshing sound came from the air, and the person at the front suddenly froze in place. Then the sound of equipment colliding rang out, and the figure collapsed to the ground.

The remaining four saw that there was only one person by the fire, so they immediately hid behind a tree. They then realized that this was a lone traveler from China.

When they first saw that there was only one person by the campfire, their first thought was that their other teammates were hiding nearby. After recalling the appearance of the armor, they breathed a sigh of relief.

But it was only a sigh of relief, because Leaf's second attack came.

A pebble pierced through a tree, then through a person's armor and body, and embedded itself in another tree.

The remaining three immediately lay down, using the thickest tree roots as cover, and quickly retreated.

After killing two and driving away three, Ye Zi turned to look in another direction. There was another five-person squad there, but this squad was much better equipped.

Five people, with three sets of bows and arrows, must have hunted other teams and achieved considerable success.

Three archers drew their bows at the same time, and three arrows shot out. Ye Zi ignored them, raised her hand and sent a pebble flying, then swung her right hand twice.

The three archers were killed before their second volley of arrows even left the bowstring.

The remaining two turned and left without stopping, not even picking up the arrows from their teammate.

After taking down three more people, Ye Zi got up, put on her helmet, and glanced in the direction of the third team.

Then he walked over to the three archers, took a bow, and the three quiver of arrows became his spoils.

Back by the fire, Ye Zi smiled and said:

"Steve, now that you're here, it's no fun just watching from the sidelines."

Want to talk?

"I never expected that China would produce such an amazing person as you. It's truly astonishing."

A broken Chinese voice rang out, and Steve appeared before Ye Zi with a group of people, forming a semi-encirclement.

Ye Zi was just testing the waters, but she didn't expect Steve to actually show up. And this guy can even speak Chinese, which has never happened before in previous competitions.

English is the common language, and Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken language, but this phenomenon is due to the large Chinese population.

Furthermore, China is appearing more and more on the world stage, and many places have begun to make Chinese a compulsory subject.
