Under the dark trees.

As soon as the archer appeared, he stared at Lin Hao with a gloomy look.

"He is quite alert and was able to dodge our brother Tian's lightning arrows."

The other two accomplices also came out with playful smiles on their faces.

Lin Hao's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at them.

All three of them were wearing the same hospital uniform.

As for which institution of higher learning it was, Lin Hao was not in the mood to know at the moment.

His eyes were cold, locked on the archer who had just shot the arrow.

He has short hair, buck teeth, a sturdy build, and a pair of sharp eyes.

But in Lin Hao's heart, he had already been sentenced to death!

"So he is from Tianyan Academy."

The short-haired archer was also looking at Lin Hao and sneered.

When he saw the thousand-year-old blood Ganoderma lucidum and the purple bamboo spear in his hands, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Boy, if you know what's best for you, hand over the talisman and all the wealth on you, or you'll suffer more."

The archer smiled grimly, his face revealing an undisguised greed.

While he was speaking, the other two also quickly dispersed in perfect harmony.

The positions they stood in formed a triangle, which invisibly blocked all of Lin Hao's retreat routes.

"Come and get it if you can."

A sneer appeared on Lin Hao's lips, and his eyes were always fixed on the archer.

Among these three people, the archer is obviously stronger, having reached the level of a mid-seventh-level warrior.

But what can he do facing Lin Hao at this moment?

"Since you want to die, then it will be your wish!"

Seeing Lin Hao's threats, the archer's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he didn't say anything nonsense.

He suddenly raised the longbow in his hand, and under the infusion of spiritual power, lightning flashed.

However, just as he was aiming at Lin Hao on the opposite side, a strange scene happened.

Lin Hao's body suddenly split into two clones without any warning.

Including the original body, there are three Lin Haos in total.

Seeing this, the archer's pupils trembled violently, and he was in a trance, not knowing which one to shoot.

This is exactly the martial arts move in "Shadow of the Demon".

Demonic fission!

Even the purple bamboo spear in his hand can control the spiritual power and transform into something magical!

Just as the three were stunned, Lin Hao and his two demonic clones rushed out almost at the same time.

And its original form locked onto the archer.

Seeing this, the archer's face changed slightly. He quickly moved forward, drew his bow and shot the arrow towards Lin Hao.

The archery he practiced obviously belonged to the thunder-related martial arts. The arrows were shining with silver-purple electric light and the attack was fierce.

However, facing the thundering power of the purple bamboo spear, it was like a dwarf compared to a giant.

brush--!

With just a light swing, the arrow shattered on the spot with a flash of thunder.

Immediately afterwards, the spear in Lin Hao's hand shook.

Violent purple thunder suddenly roared out, mixed with a burst of flames, and slammed towards the archer.

Thunder and fire explosion!

This is a skill that Lin Hao came up with on an impulse.

Looking at the spear light that looked like red lightning, the archer's face changed drastically.

At this distance and speed, it was impossible to dodge.

Immediately, he mobilized all the spiritual power in his body to form a protective shield on his body surface to withstand the attack.

Bang!

A heavy sound was heard, and the lightning spear blasted down fiercely.

The protective shield suddenly vibrated violently, and the light flickered and gradually faded, with faint signs of collapse and dissipation.

Fortunately, I finally managed to bear it.

The archer couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could be happy, the red tip of the spear had already rushed over and pierced the protective shield.

With just a "pop" sound, this simple stab was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the protective shield collapsed instantly.

The tip of the spear continued to move forward and pierced directly through the archer's head.

Waves of scorching flame energy erupted, and his entire head exploded!

Lin Hao stretched out his hand and grabbed the floating talisman mark into his palm.

“Brother Tian!!”

The two contestants who were fighting with the shadow clone were horrified when they saw the archer die under Lin Hao's spear after just a brief confrontation.

I thought I had caught a little lamb this time, but I didn't expect to encounter a tiger!

"This guy is not easy to deal with, retreat quickly!"

Their eyes were filled with fear as they hurriedly urged the talismans to leave their bodies. It was obvious that they were planning to give up their qualifications to compete and wanted to be teleported out of the ancient battlefield.

Looking at the two people's gradually fading bodies, Lin Hao's eyes surged with coldness. Since his own secret was not exposed, he did not rush to kill them.

Immediately, he rushed out and collected the two talisman marks together.

At this point, the number of talisman seals he now possesses has reached four.

Only six medals are needed to successfully advance, and then go to the core area of ​​the ancient battlefield to participate in the ranking battle!

A demon shadow clone walked over, spread out his palm, and revealed a blue storage ring.

This is the spoils collected from the archer's body.

At the same time Lin Hao took the storage ring, the demon shadow clone turned into a black energy and poured into Lin Hao's body.

“It’s not much, but it’s not bad.”

Lin Hao quickly detected the storage ring with his mental power and nodded secretly without much reaction.

Among the items, apart from some common things, only the Lingyang Stones caught Lin Hao's attention.

There are only about 20,000 Lingyang Stones.

Although it’s not much, it’s a small profit for Lin Hao, who is now clean and tidy.

Then, Lin Hao moved and jumped onto the tree again. He ran quietly and began to search for any 'prey' he could find.

That night, night fell.

The pitch-black night enveloped the entire mountain range.

The temperature is obviously much colder than during the day.

The dangerous atmosphere is becoming more and more intense.

I don’t know if it’s because this forest is too vast, or if the contestants have already left to search for treasure in other areas.

Lin Hao has been searching for half a day, but has not found any "prey" yet.

During this period, Lin Hao even reached the end of the forest, which seemed to be the edge of an ancient battlefield, and there was a layer of light curtain.

The flickering light curtain seemed to separate the world from each other.

And what's weird is that every once in a while, the light curtain will slowly move towards the inner circle, as if someone is deliberately controlling it, constantly shrinking the area of ​​the ancient battlefield.

In this way, contestants active in various places can create a higher probability of encounter.

Lin Hao felt a sense of déjà vu about this pattern.

Eat chicken!

He suddenly thought of a game from his previous life, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

That shrinking circle mechanism is very similar to the current competition rules.

While thinking in his mind, Lin Hao's running body suddenly stopped at one of the trees.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the branch in front of him, only to see a small green snake lying on the leaves there.

The little green snake's head was triangular in shape, and its entire body was covered with fine dark green scales, which was almost the same color as leaf scales.

And it is very small, about the thickness of a toothpick.

If Lin Hao hadn't been using his mental power to detect, it would have been difficult to detect with the naked eye.
