"Hmm? Contestant Sharman is awake?"

Just as host Xiao Ying was preparing to end the broadcast and hand the livestream over to Bing Bing.

Sharman, who should have been sound asleep, suddenly turned over and opened his eyes.

Out of basic professional duty.

Host Xiao Ying had no choice but to postpone her break.

She observed Sharman's actions.

On screen...

Sharman showed no signs of being groggy from sleep.

On the contrary, his every move gave off a very clear-headed impression.

He took slow, deep breaths, as if regulating his state.

Then...

He propped himself up with one hand and slowly stood.

His movements were cautious, making no sound at all.

"Mr. Xu Fan?"

Sharman lowered his voice, seemingly trying to wake Xu Fan.

But his voice carried a hint of trembling.

And the viewers who hadn't yet left the livestream couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.

Sharman called out a few times.

Only after receiving no response from Xu Fan did he let out a sigh of relief.

"Looks like he's asleep."

Sharman swallowed, his throat bobbing.

Though he had already made up his mind.

When it actually came to this step.

He was still a little afraid.

No matter how he looked at it, though he had done plenty of bad things, personally killing someone.

Was a first for him.

Still, Sharman believed.

His actions would be forgiven by the gods.

He wasn't doing this just for himself.

But to help the Curry Kingdom break free from the shackles of the Yan Kingdom!

With that thought, a flicker of ruthlessness flashed in Sharman's eyes.

He held his breath and pulled out a handgun from his person.

This was a weapon he had specially prepared after learning he would enter the Forbidden Land.

Its effective range was about twenty meters.

Equipped with a silencer.

It could eliminate enemies without a trace.

For this moment, he had deliberately pretended to sleep for a long time.

But...

Sharman hesitated slightly in his mind.

After all, there were two targets.

Xu Fan and the Female Snow Wolf.

"Better take out Xu Fan first."

Sharman finally made up his mind.

He worried the Female Snow Wolf might be more resilient.

If one shot didn't finish her.

Her cry might wake Xu Fan.

So...

Sharman slowly aimed the gun at Xu Fan.

To be safe, he even targeted Xu Fan's temple.

At such close range.

Enough for him to blow its head off with a single shot.

But this scene naturally startled everyone in Yan Kingdom who was watching the livestream.

"What is Sharman trying to do?!"

Host Xiao Ying couldn't help but exclaim.

She never dreamed that Sharman would do something so terrifying.

"Is this guy crazy?!" Brother Qiang's face suddenly changed drastically.

The gun barrel was less than three meters from Xu Fan.

At that distance, even someone who had never learned to shoot could guarantee a hundred percent hit rate.

Moreover, Xu Fan's performance in the Forbidden Land was indeed astonishing.

But he was no android or Terminator after all.

His body was still flesh and blood.

Once a bullet pierced his brain.

He would surely die.

"Damn it."

Chen Warrior King gritted his teeth, wishing he could charge into the screen and punch Sharman.

What made it even more despairing was...

Even with Sharman's gun aimed at him.

Contestant Xu Fan...

Showed no sign of waking up at all!

The livestream chat exploded.

"Curry Kingdom contestant, I swear to the immortals!"

"Fuck, is this guy insane! He's pointing a gun at our contestant."

"Damn it, this Sharman is utterly ungrateful. When he was down and out in the Forbidden Land, it was Contestant Xu Fan who gave him food and let him rest at the camp!"

"Quick, contact Contestant Xu Fan, tell him to be careful!"

"How? The once-a-week call opportunity has already been used!"

For a moment, the Yan Kingdom audience was outraged!

Everyone was in despair!

If Sharman had challenged Xu Fan in an open duel.

They wouldn't have been so furious.

But this guy chose to exploit Xu Fan's trust.

Striking while he was asleep!

And what benefit did he gain from this?

There was indeed a benefit.

One side rose, the other fell.

Xu Fan's performance in the Forbidden Land was too astonishing.

In just two days, he had left contestants from other countries far behind.

On top of that, he had helped the Female Snow Wolf awaken her talent.

Before long, Yan Kingdom might become the world's strongest nation.

For countries outside Yan Kingdom.

If Contestant Xu Fan really died.

It would definitely be a good thing.

"Hurry up and do it, Sharman!"

"Go, Sharman!"

"Shoot the head, shoot the head!"

"Do you think if Sharman kills the Female Snow Wolf, he'll get a Treasure Chest?"

Foreign viewers also started sending comments, messing with everyone's mindset.

Acting like they couldn't wait to watch the chaos.

Unprecedented despair descended upon Yan Kingdom!

No one had expected...

When Xu Fan faced the Snow Wolf King.

Not dead.

When facing the Female Snow Wolf.

Not dead.

When facing the landslide.

Not dead.

When facing the Nuger Worm swarm.

Not dead.

And now, he was about to die at the hands of Sharman, a Blue Star native!

But...

This incident not only shook the entire Yan Kingdom.

It also alarmed the Curry Kingdom's officials.

They too hadn't expected Sharman to do something like this.

However...

The Curry Kingdom's officials split into two factions.

One faction felt they should immediately use their once-a-week contact opportunity to stop Sharman's actions.

The other faction thought it better to let the mistake stand.

Xu Fan's strength.

Everyone had seen it with their own eyes.

Letting him live would only allow Yan Kingdom to dominate alone.

Hindering their Curry Kingdom's ambition to rule the Asian region.

And if things went smoothly.

Sharman killing the Female Snow Wolf might also net him the Forbidden Land Treasure Chest.

After all, that thing could strengthen the human body!

The two factions argued fiercely.

Coupled with the Curry Kingdom having its own time system.

The officials ultimately failed to contact Sharman in time.

To stop his actions.

As for the Yan Kingdom officials.

Though they immediately launched a series of countermeasures and strongly condemned the Curry Kingdom's contestant.

In the end, distant water couldn't quench a nearby fire.

In the Yan Kingdom livestream.

Host Xiao Ying was so angry her face turned green, and she spoke through gritted teeth, "This Sharman contestant is nothing but an ungrateful wolf raised on kindness."

"If he hadn't met Xu Fan, he would have starved and frozen to death in the Forbidden Land tonight."

"This guy has no sense of gratitude at all, and even turns his gun on our contestant—it's too much!"

"Even Holo wouldn't do something like this. Sharman is worse than a beast!"

But aside from venting her fury through words.

She couldn't change a thing.

Chen Warrior King furrowed his brows, "For now, we can only pray that Xu Fan wakes up in time."

The Yan Kingdom audience flooded into the Curry Kingdom livestream, denouncing Sharman's shameless behavior.

A complete scumbag.

Outrageous.

But...

It still changed nothing.

On screen.

Sharman's features twisted together, becoming ferocious.

He aimed at Xu Fan's vital spot and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

With the gunshot, flames propelled the bullet, shooting straight out.
