"What a coincidence, it seems God hasn't been on your side." Ryan's eyes were sinister.
Chang Le tossed down the artemisia and grouse he was carrying and smirked, "Indeed, even God doesn't take on cross-regional business."
“Whatever you say, these are your last words! I will kill you three times!” Ryan said viciously.
At this moment, the grouse planted on the ground straightened up, raised its head and puffed out its unusually full, fluffy and elastic chest, showing off to the humans present.
Two yellow sacs were stuffed among the thick white feathers, which would inflate and expand as the grouse breathed, only to shrink back in, making the scene particularly comical in the tense atmosphere.
Chang Le couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Ryan knew she was laughing at the chicken, but he still felt mocked. He chopped the grouse to death with a single stroke, kicked it away, and raised his blade, pointing it directly at Chang Le: "I won't let you get the points you want!"
"No need for nonsense!" Mira clenched her fists, energy surged, and her muscles instantly swelled, her slightly dark skin and muscle lines taut.
Mira slammed her fist down, accompanied by a whooshing sound, while Ryan swung his knife from behind.
Chang Le couldn't retreat. She crossed her arms to block, and the force of the impact cracked the bones in her arms. She was also knocked backward.
The sound of something cutting through the air came, and she jerked her head back to avoid Ryan's blade. But Mira kicked her from behind, striking her squarely in the lower back.
Chang Le was kicked away and fell to the ground, rolling until she came to a stop. The sharp pain in her lower back made her lose feeling in both legs for a moment.
Before she could catch her breath, Ryan brought down his knife. Chang Le rolled away to dodge, endured the pain, and got up, throwing out vines to interfere with Ryan and once again blocking Mira's fierce attack.
The fierce battle lasted only a dozen minutes. Chang Le's already injured right leg was slashed by Ryan, the wound so deep that bone was visible. A dull pain shot through her chest; she coughed up blood, struggled to her feet, and stared at the two men, saying in a hoarse voice:
"How...how did you find me?"
Mira was taken aback, and Ryan's expression changed slightly: "Looking for you? Yes, I'll search every single one of the four areas until I find you! God bless me, I've run into you right here!"
Chang Le narrowed his eyes slightly: "But when you saw me, you weren't surprised. Didn't you already know I was in this area?"
"What are you saying?" Ryan didn't quite understand, but his gut feeling was bad, so he stepped forward and said, "Die!"
Ryan swiftly brought down his knife, severing Chang Le's carotid artery. Blood gushed out like a fountain, and she collapsed to the ground.
Ten seconds later, Chang Le's corpse gradually became illusory and then disappeared.
The AI's voice rang out: "Chang Le, you were killed by Ryan! Your points are reset to zero."
The announcement was broadcast simultaneously in all four areas.
"What?" Hua Anning's face turned cold. "As expected, he couldn't hold back and made a move!"
...
Control room.
The technician said, "Report: Twenty minutes ago, it was confirmed that an individual with supernatural abilities related to information networks was using their powers, but we are currently unable to determine who it is or what they did."
Li Yunfan looked at Qin Ling with a grim expression: "Elder Qin, that person has made a move."
Qin Ling snorted coldly, his imposing presence radiating authority: "Analyze the data of everyone Chang Le encountered in the first two areas, closely monitor Chang Le's situation, and if any traces are found, immediately suspend the assessment and arrest him!"
Li Yunfan said, "Old Qin, I think we can take a look first. Chang Le's sudden separation from Lu Jin'an and Huang Mingfu must mean he already has a plan."
After a moment of silence, Qin Ling spoke: "No matter what, Chang Le cannot be allowed to fall off the leaderboard because of the methods of later generations."
...
The AI's voice echoed in Chang Le's mind:
"Two restart opportunities remain. Do you wish to restart?"
"yes."
"Restarting - Restart successful, re-deployment, deployment successful."
When Chang Le opened his eyes again, he found himself in the place where the giant who had hit the mountain had passed.
According to the detailed rules and instructions issued before the assessment, the place where the character is re-deployed after death is still the original old ruins area, but not the original location.
Chang Le stood up and stretched; his body had fully recovered to its peak condition. Beside him were the same initial equipment he had received when he first entered the game.
Ryan and Mira must be looking for her. Chang Le smiled.
Half an hour later.
The commotion caused by the scattered wolves on the abandoned road at the foot of the mountain alerted Mira and Ryan, who were searching around. They quickly arrived and, sure enough, found Chang Le.
"bass!"
The straight knife was flung into the ground. Chang Le, half-covered in blood, moved his wrist and looked coldly at the two men: "I've been waiting for you two for a long time."
After battling for over twenty hours in the old ruins, Ryan and Mira were both down to half health. Seeing this, they cautiously retreated.
She picked up the knife and walked towards the two of them: "Don't run, it's my turn this time."
Ryan and Mira exchanged a glance and rushed over at the same time.
Chang Le lightly touched the ground with his toes, and the dark green tide overturned the earth and rose up. The dense dark green vines with barbs were ferocious and overwhelming, stretching for hundreds of meters and reaching a height of over a hundred meters, as if filling the entire space!
The surroundings were transformed into a sea of vines, and Chang Le stood quietly among them, with the vines bowing their heads and giving way to her as if she were their queen.
Ryan and Mira looked astonished: "Impossible! Your cultivation level..."
The vines surged and roared, with thousands upon thousands of vines piercing down from all directions and high above towards the center!
Ryan found he couldn't defend himself, and after a few quick pricks, he was turned into a hedgehog.
Mira managed to hold out for a while thanks to her strong physique, but she couldn't escape being swallowed up by the vast green sea. Her energy rapidly declined, and the vines pierced her heart.
Ryan was able to avoid vital points by Chang Le and survived being impaled on the vines.
Chang Le approached, raised his straight sword, and placed it against the man's neck: "How exactly did you find me? Or rather, who told you I was in this area?"
