107
As early as when she released her mental power, Yan Yu discovered that there was a person hiding in a big tree more than ten meters away, who had been secretly observing her situation.
However, her primary target at the time was the bloodthirsty Rafflesia. Seeing that the other party did not move, she simply remained motionless and pretended not to notice him/her.
Now that the enemy is eliminated, it's time to take a look at the guy hiding in the shadows.
The other party was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that Yan Yu had discovered him, he stretched out a hand to push away the lush leaves in front of him. After a few jumps, he landed four meters in front of her, revealing his full appearance.
He took the initiative to greet everyone: "Hello, I'm number 002000. No offense, I just happened to land in a tree and haven't come down yet."
The man, a man in his thirties, had a calm demeanor, a perpetual smile in his eyes as he spoke. He was lean and had a scholarly air. If you ignored his agile movements and the occasional glint in his eyes, he resembled a real-world teacher or professor.
This kind of person usually gives people a good first impression, but Yan Yu looked at him twice, his vigilance remained unchanged, and he held the laser sword tightly in his hand.
Seeing this, the man quickly said, "You also know the rules of the escape game. Perhaps we can form a temporary alliance. I have some information about Endless Island and some of the contestants that would definitely be helpful to you."
As he spoke, he took two tentative steps forward and extended his right hand: "How about it, would you consider working with me?"
Yan Yu's mind moved, and she pulled the corner of her lip towards the man, giving him an extremely perfunctory smile: "I don't trust you. If you want to talk about cooperation, at least let me see your sincerity."
"I understand, I understand. Let me tell you some news about Endless Island." The man withdrew his right hand and approached Yan Yu little by little. "Actually, Endless Island is divided into five major areas. In addition to the lava area, forest area, desert area and misty swamp area, there is also a black forbidden zone. The forbidden zone is full of high-level beasts..."
Yan Yu activated the laser sword, and the tip of the sword was directly against the man's chest, only a few centimeters away from his heart. If he took another step forward, the sword would pierce through his chest.
"Just talk, why are you getting so close to me?"
The man instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his hands with a wry smile and took two steps back. "Don't be so nervous. Can't I just keep my distance from you?"
He had just seen with his own eyes how the woman opposite him killed the A-level bloodthirsty Rafflesia so easily and efficiently. Even an A-level combat team would be doomed when facing a Rafflesia. He didn't expect that Yan Yu could escape the control of the illusion by herself and achieve a counterattack in one fell swoop.
The whole process happened so fast that he didn't react at all.
From this, we can infer that she must have awakened a talent, and that the awakened talent is at least A+ level combat talent. With such a powerful person, it's best to cling to her in the early stages, then find an opportunity to backstab her later on and inherit all her points.
Noticing the calculation flashing in the man's eyes, Yan Yu narrowed her eyes slightly and sneered in her heart. Who gave him the illusion that he could plot against her?
Since he had bad intentions, she didn't mind taking advantage of him.
Yan Yu was calm and composed: "If this is all the information you know, then there is absolutely no need for us to cooperate."
She looked confident and revealed her understanding of the battle royale game. She couldn't be fooled by some marginal or well-known information.
The man gritted his teeth and continued to spill some information in order to gain Yan Yu's trust. "The exotic plants and beasts in the five major areas of Endless Island are all different, but the vast majority are B-level or above. Especially in the Death Forbidden Zone, there are still many S-level creatures there. Contestants like us will basically die if we go in."
"Battle Royale matches typically last 5-7 days. Every 12 hours, the organizers will randomly drop a batch of treasure chests, starting with 1,000 and reducing them proportionally until the top ten players reach the required points, or until only ten players remain on the field."
"I heard that our competition not only has boxing champions, fighting champions and runners-up, underground city tribal leaders and their families participating, but also combat masters sent down from Sky City. It will be very difficult for us to win alone..."
At Yan Yu's suggestion, the man poured out a lot of useful information, allowing her to better understand the cruelty of this escape game.
After the man demonstrated his value, Yan Yu accepted his application for cooperation, and the two found a direction and began to move forward.
During the journey, they encountered many B-level exotic plants and beasts. Yan Yu was the main attacker, and the man was the auxiliary, which was a good cooperation. During this period, Yan Yu had been deliberately training his mental strength, while keeping a close eye on No. 002000. Most importantly, he tried to get more information from him through chatting.
The man was indeed very familiar with the strange plants and beasts on the Endless Island. Almost every time he encountered one, he could quickly tell them their attack methods and weaknesses, making it easier for Yan Yu to kill monsters.
"Before signing up for the competition, I carefully studied the live broadcasts of the previous battle royale games over and over again. I also went through all the candidate maps twice, and I had a rough idea of all the exotic animals and plants recorded there."
The man looked very proud, both of his amazing memory and his foresight.
The talent he awakened was only B-level, and it was an auxiliary talent that was not very helpful in the escape game. If he wanted to get into the top ten, he had to find another way.
"There are only two of us. I think it's best to get a few more teammates to join us, otherwise we will definitely not be able to defeat the group I mentioned before."
I don’t know if it’s because there’s a water source ahead, but there’s a faint damp smell in the air. When I smell it carefully, I can smell the unique smell of roasted protein.
Hearing the man's suggestion, Yan Yu said "hmm" nonchalantly: "Do you have any recommendations?"
"There are indeed two. They are both my friends. They are good people and trustworthy. However, I cannot contact them yet."
Yan Yu glanced at him lightly. Good character? Trustworthy? Coming from his mouth, these words had to be taken the other way around.
That means she has bad character and may backstab her teammates at any time. How heartless does she have to be to keep three guys with ulterior motives around her to suck her blood and plot against her?
She smiled and said, "Let's wait and see." She did not give a clear answer.
The two of them pushed aside the lush branches and leaves and walked forward a few steps. At this time, No. 002000 obviously also smelled the special smell and swallowed suddenly.
From the start of the game to now, he and Yan Yu have been marching for more than two hours, and have fought more than a dozen battles of varying sizes along the way. To be honest, they are really thirsty, hungry and tired.
However, there are very few clean water sources and edible foods on Endless Island, and most of them contain some toxins, which can kill people if not identified properly.
Although he knew most of the vegetation on the island, he was not a professional zoologist or botanist after all, so he didn't dare to try it easily.
Besides, with Yan Yu, who has a high fighting power, he can let her grab the treasure chests when they are airdropped in the future. She will bear the risks, and he only needs to wait and reap the benefits.
However, there is a new situation now.
The man and Yan Yu looked at each other, and they both lowered their footsteps and slowly moved towards the direction where the smell came from. After seeing everything clearly on the opposite side, they found a hidden place to lie in ambush.
Next to the fire, there were a dozen skewers of meat with slightly charred skin. The oil from the high temperature kept dripping down the wooden or metal sticks and splashing into the fire. The "sizzling" and "sizzling" sounds caused flames to explode upwards, and soon returned to calm.
Next to the skewers of meat were the skinned corpses of strange beasts. Next to these corpses were several dead strange plants, with their leaves and roots pulled out in a mess. Next to them was a row of tied-up people.
Some of these people were lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, some were half dead, and some were staring at the strange plants and beasts with a sad look on their faces, with tears and snot running down their faces.
Not far from them, two identical-looking people were holding a leaf and a piece of bloody meat in their hands, baring their sharp fangs. "Whose turn is next?"
It's like using other people's lives to test poison on them!
"Hahaha, it's time for another prize-giving guessing game. Is the food in the twins' hands poisonous this time?"
"I bet 100 star coins that the flesh is poisonous, but the leaves are not."
"Both of them are definitely poisoned. I'll bet 500 star coins. Didn't you see that none of those guys who tried the poison before are sober now?"
"The twins' luck is terrible. This is the third wave of poison testers we've captured, and they haven't found anything edible yet. It seems we need to capture more people for testing."
"Shh, look over there, two more unlucky guys are coming!"
These two unlucky guys are obviously Yan Yu and contestant No. 002000.
