Bai Pu (Wind Roar): Really?

Other Shore (Hunting God): If this is true, we might as well give up. It’s Tier Five already, what’s the point of fighting? The overall combat power difference is too great.

Bai Pu (Wind Roar): That’s true.

Yu Jin (Ashfire): What the hell, what are you pretending here? Do you really think I don’t know the Insect Race belongs to your Hunting God group? You’re misleading everyone here, do you have any conscience left?

Bai Pu (Wind Roar): You...?

Lan Tie (Shadow): ?

Lan Tie (Shadow): To be honest, if it were any other power, I’d probably not believe it. But this is the force where the Short-tailed Cat God resides. For the Cat God, I’m willing to believe the Hunting God is absurdly strong.

Short-tailed Cat (Hunting God): Thank you!

Yu Jin (Ashfire): [Chased Video]

Yu Jin (Ashfire): See? The Insect Race here is absurdly strong, they’ve developed!

[Prompt: Sword and Shield Group has been eliminated by Hunting God]

Yu Jin (Ashfire): Damn it! BYD Lagomeyer surrendered directly! Do you have any shame? You’re the first to be eliminated, aren’t you embarrassed?

Lan Tie (Shadow): Explain?

Yu Jin (Ashfire): Sword and Shield didn’t fight to the end, they surrendered, and didn’t even destroy the resources they acquired, just to disgust us.

Dai Lei Sa (Ashfire): [Remote Photo]

Dai Lei Sa (Ashfire): Evidence.

Lagomeyer (Sword and Shield): Hahaha!

Lagomeyer (Sword and Shield): I’m off first, you guys can slowly keep playing with the Hunting God! Haha!

Human Race Gathering Place

The Sword and Shield Group has fully retreated at this moment, no further resistance, and no casualties in the final phase.

After all, it was all a performance, not a real desperate fight. In this battle, many strong ones appeared to be killed, but in fact, they were protected by life-saving items and teleported away.

However, that only applies to the strong ones; there are still ordinary people among the Sword and Shield Group, responsible for basic logistics and infrastructure. Most of them lack life security measures, and if they die, they’re truly dead.

But this is normal. In such competitive team worlds, they’re originally cannon fodder, coming here to fight desperately as a chance to change their fate.

If the team competition succeeds, they could leave alive and earn resource dividends; if they make outstanding contributions, they might even directly rise to become peripheral members.

Fail, and you die.

This is a gamble.

”The resources are very intact, even left the resource point map. It seems the Sword and Shield Group isn’t bad,” Yuan Chu said while looking at the map.

”Let me see the map.”

Qing Yu said.

”Alright.”

Yuan Chu handed the map over.

Qing Yu took a photo of it skillfully and then carefully folded it, but didn’t find anything hidden within. Then he took out a jade pendant and wrapped it in the map.

Immediately, the jade pendant wrapped in the map emitted a dark light.

”It’s a curse of doom.”

Qing Yu chuckled softly, then threw the map on the ground, took out a lighter, ignited it, and threw it onto the map, watching it completely burn until it turned into ashes and disappeared.

”I knew they had bad intentions. We’re competitors who directly led to their elimination, so there’s no way they’d give us resources freely. Hiding curses is standard procedure.”

Immediately, he turned his gaze to Yuan Chu, smiling, ”You were the first to make contact; your body may be infected with the curse. This curse doesn’t show on the surface, but it affects fortune, resulting in bad luck when opening treasure chests or grabbing red packets...”

As he spoke, he suddenly paused, and his expression was a bit hard to maintain, but he managed to keep it together, picked up the jade pendant from the ground, and handed it to Yuan Chu, saying, ”Hold it tight, and see what happens.”

”Okay.”

Yuan Chu expressionlessly took it.

Immediately, the jade pendant showed no reaction in her hand.

”Really strange, no curse traces, then why....” Qing Yu mumbled softly.

”Isn’t it obvious?”

Yuan Chu showed a smile on her face, confidently puffing out her chest, and said, ”I must have used all my luck in meeting the master. Even sacrificing the luck of the rest of my life is still worth it.”

.....

”Boom! Boom boom boom!...”

Dozens of plasma cannons fired, crazy shelling at Yu Jin’s retreating figure, but it didn’t affect his speed, just watched him escape far away.

”Gone?”

Frost Moon looked at the departing Yu Jin and sighed slightly in relief. The power of the Authority Dominator was overwhelmingly strong, beyond what they could hold back.

Lagomeyer from the Sword and Shield Group was also an Authority Dominator. He didn’t act because he was balanced by Yuan Chu. If they took action, there might not be any casualties, but the ordinary people below would suffer.

Blood exchange, the loser would definitely be the Sword and Shield Group. If the Insect Race’s specialty dragons died, they died, but the Sword and Shield Group’s grassroots execution wouldn’t be replaceable.

Moreover...

In fact, Qing He is very smart. Based on battlefield positioning details, he guessed that Yuan Chu isn’t the high-level leader of the Hunting God Group. There’s definitely someone powerful behind the Hunting God Group. Continuing to clash wouldn’t change the result, it would only make the Sword and Shield Group’s losses greater.

”But, it’s a bit of a shame; if he stayed to keep fighting desperately, maybe then...”

Frost Moon suddenly sneered, a sign of bad intentions.

On the other side

Yu Jin: Brothers, relocate the base.

Red Ling: ?

Dazina: ? Really?

Dai Lei Sa: Are you sure?

Yu Jin: I’m sure and certain, the opposing Insect Race’s force has reached Tier Five and possesses various top-tier genes. The result of this battle is already clear.

Yu Jin: Next, we mustn’t invest too much, just maintain the appearance of development. As long as it looks plausible, it’s enough.

Yu Jin: The primary goal is to obtain enough benefits from the world itself, understand? Currently, the key point to achieving a good rank doesn’t lie in how strong our force is or how fast we develop, but in how far we are from the Hunting God and whether they can easily reach us.

Yu Jin: Therefore, we have to move our main camp to somewhere inconvenient for them to attack. Affecting development doesn’t matter because development isn’t the focus now. As long as we get attacked later, we will surely survive longer than other forces, allowing us to achieve a good rank at a lower cost.

Dai Lei Sa: Uh, that’s quite a peculiar mindset, are you serious, boss?

Yu Jin: Of course!

Yu Jin: Who do you think can have so many resources? Who dares to invest so much?

Yu Jin: Listen to me, don’t fight, don’t think about it, and then convince others to fight, trick them into going, they get beaten, we’ll be at an advantage.

....

The competitive situation changed subsequently.

Many teams secretly formed alliances, seeking the location of the Hunting God Group from Ashfire Group and requesting to gather and jointly hunt them.

Yu Jin readily agreed and leaked information about the Hunting God Group. On the surface, he kept expressing that they were hard to fight, but didn’t hurry to act, appearing confident and unafraid of how the opponent could handle being besieged.

In a certain sense, he truly wasn’t worried, but the reasons were different.

He watched his team Elf Race relocate, sighed melancholically, and beside him, Dai Lei Sa, who had teamed up with Yu Jin earlier, leaned in and asked, ”There’s more behind, isn’t there? As far as I know, you’re not someone who likes to surrender.”

”Definitely not.”

Yu Jin shrugged helplessly, saying, ”Although there’s no evidence, I felt that when I was preparing to raid the opponent’s base, I felt as if I was being watched by a terrifying beast. It was a terrible feeling, like being targeted by some great horror.”

”Hmm, that’s my intuition. Although technically it’s not evidence, I always trust my instincts, even without any foundation, I would still believe them. I think... there might be a strong one comparable to a Divinity hidden at the core of the opponent’s force.”

”Comparable to a Divinity?”

Dai Lei Sa’s eyes widened as if hearing something incredible.

That’s a Divinity!

A Divinity!
