Shen Bingmiao's information was extremely detailed, including a general overview of the overall strength of all the races and their relationships within the Blood Country.

It even mentions the fighting methods that different races are good at.

Although this world is barbaric and backward, it reveres fighting and individual bravery, and advocates Duel, it does not oppose ambushes in battle.

Essentially, most of the forces in the Black Marsh World are "hunting tribes," differing only in their sub-categories such as nomadic hunting and fishing.

Hunting, in turn, means using Wisdom to fight.

Even the most notoriously reckless Bloodlust and barbarian tribes understood this.

The "Glory Festival" is also a competition where "hunting" plays a larger role—any means are allowed as long as victory is achieved.

The sudden extinguishing of the flame made Lin Yu realize something instantly...

The people in the distance have entered hunting mode.

And the other party is very likely targeting you.

In the quiet darkness, Lin Yu slowed his breathing.

With the [Moonlight Affinity] buff that enhances vision in the dark, Lin Yu's vision was not significantly restricted even in complete darkness; it was only slightly reduced compared to when there was light.

Even so, Lin Yu dared not let his guard down.

For the tribes of the Black Marsh World, hunting at night often means facing nocturnal beasts and monsters with excellent Night Vision.

Moreover, the terrain is still dense forest, so there are many natural obstacles formed by trees and shrubs.

"If it were barbarians, they'd probably be crouching in the bushes; but if it were Bloodlust, they'd probably be in a tree."

Lin Yu cautiously looked around and leaned against Stiller.

The surroundings were quiet, without the slightest sound.

At this point, even Stiller had some doubts.

"Are they really after us, boss?" Stiller said in a low voice. "We don't have any spoils of war on us right now, and according to the Rule of this competition... there shouldn't be any reason for them to come after us, right?"

"The other contestants are definitely more difficult to deal with than the beast. It's unwise to start a war with them when you have almost no information at all."

Lin Yu shook his head. "That's the mindset of the City That Never Sleeps. You're too civilized, Stiller..."

"For the people of the Black Marsh World, winning the battle is the biggest reason—especially since this is the 'Glory Festival'."

"If we're being rational and wise, this event shouldn't have been held in the first place."

Lin Yu said.

And just as Lin Yu finished speaking...

"Whoosh--!"

A cold arrow suddenly flew out from the shadows, and Lin Yu and Stiller dodged at the same time.

"Bass!"

The arrow pierced the tree behind the two men, penetrating deep into the wood!

This penetrating power is something that even Stiller's Combat Suit and Lin Yu's [Intermediate Protective Suit] could not withstand.

"They actually came!"

Stiller spoke, he and Lin Yu turned to look in the direction from which the arrow had come—a patch of low bushes.

At that moment, the bushes rustled and swayed, as if something was trying to escape.

Lin Yu and Stiller immediately gave chase in that direction.

But...

After three steps, the two of them suddenly changed direction at the same time.

Stiller drew the [Fear Torch] that Lin Yu had given him, while Lin Yu drew the [Targeting Dagger]!

"Bang!"

The two men simultaneously swung their weapons, striking the tall man who leaped down from the tree!

"Sizzle!"

Pale flames rose up, illuminating the appearance of the attacker.

Standing about two meters tall, covered in dried Red Pigment, and wielding a spear in both hands—he was a Blood Luo!

He was struck squarely on the head by Stiller, and Lin Yu's [Targeting Dagger] was lodged in his abdomen.

He was severely injured in just one encounter.

Xue Luo took two steps back in surprise, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, his eyes also turning bright red from bloodshot eyes.

"I actually found it!"

"How is that possible?!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief.

"Using a ground trap to mislead us, that's a great idea..."

This Bloodlust used a simple tactic: first, he set up a ground trap, then delayed firing his Bow and Arrows.

He hid in a tree, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack—he probably decided this after seeing that there were two of them, himself and Stiller.

But how much cunning can beasts possess?

Bloodloo wasn't particularly good at "strategy".

Moreover, Lin Yu is a "Fraudster." If he were to fall for such a low-level scam, he might as well just return this "Unique Profession" to the "Death game"!

To him, most life forms in the Black Marsh World were no different from wild beasts.

As for how Lin Yu and Stiller located which tree this guy was on, it was quite simple.

Although the other party had concealed themselves very well and had maintained a very Leng Jing demeanor throughout.

However, when he saw Lin Yu and Stiller approaching, he couldn't help but feel excited, joyful, and exhilarated.

Once such strong emotions arose, it was naturally impossible to hide them from Stiller, who came from the "Truth Company".

If Lin Yu were to activate [Mind-Reading Mirror], he could also expose the opponent—however, with Stiller present, he could save one use of [Item].

But Lin Yu naturally couldn't explain these things to the other party.

That Bloodlust warrior came to challenge other contestants with great confidence from the start, clearly a skilled fighter from some tribe.

Even though Lin Yu and Stiller had caught him off guard and struck first, seriously injuring him, he was still able to fight after creating distance.

Come forth, humans!

He let out a low growl and brandished his spear, preparing to charge forward.

Stiller frowned slightly.

"This is really troublesome. They haven't fallen after such a heavy blow and blood loss. It reminds me of those modified monsters among the Great Wilderness People."

Even in the [Instance] of Mist Island, Stiller didn't find the Doctor monsters created by Old Zheng, who were even larger than Blood Luo, to be difficult to deal with.

However, the Blood Luo before him forced him to be on high alert.

Stiller was somewhat troubled by his opponent's physical attributes, combat skills, and fighting spirit.

"It's going to be difficult to finish this off without taking any damage, boss. You should step aside for now."

Stiller was speaking, but the next second...

"Bang!"

The smell of gunpowder filled the air, followed by a beautiful, crisp sound. A bloody hole appeared in the center of the spear-wielding Bloodlust's head, and he collapsed to the ground, limp and lifeless.

Lin Yu calmly holstered his gun.

"I learned my lesson from never having seen firearms before. I had already raised my hand to aim, but they didn't even try to dodge."

He used the [One-Shot Hit Revolver].

Even though this thing only has one bullet and the [Stingy Rich Man] card that was just temporarily opened didn't come free, Lin Yu's attitude towards [Item] has always been to save where he can and spend where he can.

Since Stiller judged that this guy was not easy to deal with, he decided to fight him first.
