While Xu Meng was contacting Yin Zhiyuan, seeking talent, venues, and technical support, players in the [Global Survival Competition] server were still desperately searching for him.
"Where exactly is Xu Meng hiding?"
"Could he have burrowed underground?"
"There are plenty of people searching underground too! More than 60 people have been sent to the Emperor Sandworm's mouth, and no one has seen Xu Meng at all."
"Is he being too much of a coward?!"
Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore and went to Xu Meng's bilibili account to ask:
"Boss Xu, where are you hiding? Can you give us a hint?"
"Yeah, yeah, if you just keep hiding until the end, it's not even fun to survive!"
"Boss Xu, I don't want to fight you, I just want to take a picture with you. Can you give us your coordinates?"
"Boss Xu, where are you? I found a wild fruit that can increase your health, I want to give it to you."
......
The players came up with all sorts of reasons, trying to trick Xu Meng into revealing his location.
After a while, Xu Meng finally appeared and posted a message to reply to the netizens—
[Sorry, sorry, I suddenly had something urgent after finishing dinner, I haven't logged into the game yet.]
The players who had been searching tirelessly for Xu Meng for more than an hour almost vomited blood on the spot when they saw this sentence!
"Xu Meng, are you a dog?!"
"Tens of thousands of people are searching the world for you, and you weren't even online??"
"Your fruit is gone, now you only get razor blades!"
"Report your coordinates, only one of us can live today!"
"I think you want to be blocked at the door by a big truck!"
"Where are the truck drivers from Ningzhou? Quickly drive your big trucks over there!"
......
Xu Meng repeatedly begged for forgiveness: "Sorry, sorry, I'm coming, I'm coming."
After saying that, he put down his phone, put on his haptic gloves, and was about to log into the competition server.
Then…
Login failed.
He posted another message—
[Um… the server is full, can someone give me a spot when they're tired of playing?]
Huan Yue popped up to reply: "Wait a moment."
A few seconds later, a server spot appeared, and Xiao Meng once again displayed his superb speed, instantly squeezing him into the server.
System Announcement Updated—
[Player 【Hoshino】 was killed by player 【Huan Yue】 using 【Cloud-Piercing Gale Howling Sky Divine Bow Ⅰ】, relics scattered at (344, 571)]
[Giant Beast Juvenile Form 【White Tiger (Xu Meng)】 has joined the game]—
"Xu Meng is here! Find him for me! Kill him again!"
"I searched for more than an hour for nothing, my eyes were wide open the whole time, I might as well have increased my nearsightedness! I must kill him to vent my anger!"
"100,000 yuan to enter the game! Time to withdraw!"
"Kill, kill, kill!!!"
......
In every corner of the map, countless players cheered.
One by one, they no longer felt tired, immediately regrouped, and started the great search again.
Only some more meticulous people, or people who knew Huan Yue, noticed the previous announcement.
"【Cloud-Piercing Gale Howling Sky Divine Bow】?"
The brave sniper was surprised, "Another name in this style!"
He had been paying attention to the system announcements, and he had seen weapon names with similar styles several times.
"【Nine Heavens Thunderclap Blasting Divine Spear】, 【Melting Earth Flowing Fire Bursting Divine Sword】, 【Cloud-Piercing Gale Howling Sky Divine Bow】…"
"Why are other people's weapon names so cool, but mine is…"
He looked at the weapon in his hand:
[Six-Harmony Great Spear (Exquisite): 22 points of piercing damage / 10 points of blunt damage, not easily damaged]
The brave sniper sighed deeply.
Then he quickly switched out of the game, and privately messaged Huan Yue: "Big brother! Big shot! Great god! How did you make such an awesome bow?!"
"Teach me, please!!!"
—After playing all day, even with good stamina, he couldn't run anymore, and the brave sniper had switched to playing the game on his computer.
Huan Yue was concise: "Special materials!"
Just as the brave sniper was about to ask again, Huan Yue suddenly sent a voice message: "Wait a moment, I seem to have seen Xu Meng!"
The brave sniper immediately fell silent.
After taking a look around to make sure his good brothers were reliable, he quickly opened the webpage to find Huan Yue's live broadcast room, and watched live.
In the picture, Huan Yue was wearing leather armor, carrying a big bow on his back, and lying on a small hillside.
About 80 meters in front of him, a giant white tiger more than three meters long was strolling towards a heart-shaped vermillion fruit.
The popularity of Huan Yue's live broadcast room skyrocketed!
The players' information channels were really outrageously smooth, Huan Yue had just seen the white tiger suspected to be Xu Meng, and the live broadcast room began to flood with people!
There wasn't even time for fermentation or buffering.
"Life Vermillion Fruit! A rare fruit that can immunize you against one fatal injury!"
"Is the streamer… using rare fruit as bait? Is he that generous?!"
"Is that Xu Meng?? Isn't Xu Meng only knee-high to a player? He's grown so big in one day??"
"Streamer, don't do anything yet, wait for me! I'm nearby!"
......
The water friends discussed.
Huan Yue turned a blind eye to the soaring popularity of the live broadcast room and the surging barrage, silently got up from the ground, took the bow in his hand, and half-knelt on the hillside.
He took an arrow from the quiver, nocked it on the bowstring, and aimed at the white tiger in the distance.
The brave sniper subconsciously squeezed a sweat for him.
—At a distance of 80 meters, archery, the hit rate is completely metaphysics for ordinary people.
Even if this is in the game, it depends a lot on luck.
The water friends were even less optimistic and advised him to think twice.
But as Huan Yue slowly drew the bowstring, the originally simple and unadorned wooden bow began to emit a faint light.
A visible gale gathered from the air, wrapped around the arrow, and the spiraling airflow rotated backward, dragging a four- or five-meter-long wake.
A powerful gust of wind blew outwards from where Huan Yue stood.
The lush weeds underfoot were flattened, rising and falling in the wind like waves.
The surging barrage of comments faltered instantly.
The entire live stream fell silent.
Only Brave Sniper appeared, posting an eye-catching comment:
“Holy crap! Bro, you're so cool!”
The next second, Huan Yue released the bowstring.
The arrow, carrying a fierce wind, tore through the air, leaving a straight trail in its wake!
The sharp, piercing sound made eardrums ache.
Judging by the momentum, this arrow could pierce through steel, let alone flesh and blood!
With such a commotion, it was impossible for Xu Meng not to notice.
But Huan Yue was too decisive, not uttering a word after drawing the bow; this arrow came too fast.
Furthermore, the [Cloud Piercing Gale Howling Sky Divine Bow]'s attributes were [Acceleration], [Assisted Aiming], and [Tearing].
There was simply no way to avoid this arrow!
Before the eyes of tens of thousands of viewers in the live stream, the arrow approached Bai Hu with pinpoint accuracy, stopping a foot away from its chest—
The latest novels are first published on !
Suddenly, it stopped!
This straight white line extended all the way from Huan Yue to Bai Hu, then came to an abrupt halt.
It looked as if the arrow was frozen in mid-air.
But that was just an optical illusion.
Only the "wind" had stopped.
The arrow itself still managed to hit Bai Hu's side shoulder.
“Phew—that was close!” Xu Meng breathed a sigh of relief. “Good thing I drew [Wind Control]!”
The level 1 [Wind Control] skill just barely offset the level 1 [Cloud Piercing Gale Howling Sky Divine Bow]'s wind enchantment effect.
Losing the [Acceleration] and [Tearing] effects brought by the wind attribute, a simple wooden arrow was no longer a threat.
Xu Meng ignored the arrow stuck in his body, lunged forward, and swallowed the Life Vermilion Fruit.
At this moment, Huan Yue's second arrow arrived.
Although it lacked the wind attribute damage, with the assisted aiming effect, this arrow also struck accurately!
Xu Meng had a second arrow stuck in him.
But he was still fearless. After swallowing the Vermilion Fruit, he turned around and charged straight at Huan Yue!
Huan Yue drew his bow again, firing a third arrow, adding another arrow to Bai Hu's hind leg.
Then, he discarded the bow and arrow, drew his sword, and prepared to meet the attack.
An 80-meter distance could be crossed in just a few breaths for Bai Hu, who could control the wind.
But in that brief moment, a player wielding a three-meter-long spear suddenly jumped out from the hillside to Huan Yue's side.
The player shouted loudly:
“I'm here to help you!”
He charged straight over with his spear!
Xu Meng dodged Huan Yue's sword and slapped him on the chest with a paw.
Huan Yue was immediately sent flying, rolling far away on the ground.
But Xu Meng knew: he had missed!
His intention was to scratch Huan Yue with his paw and give him a good one.
But his claws were blocked by the leather armor on Huan Yue's body, which was why he was sent flying instead.
There was no time to pursue.
A large spear had already stabbed straight at him.
Xu Meng dodged forward, pondering whether to take a hit and kill this guy, when another person popped out from the left.
This time it was a character with blond hair, carrying a greatsword in the shape of a cross.
This person did not rush up immediately, but turned around and shouted loudly:
“Hurry up!!”
“I see him! The white tiger!!”
Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, one player after another climbed up the small hill, appearing before Xu Meng, Huan Yue, and the player wielding the spear.
“Why so fast?” The spear-wielding player was puzzled.
Xu Meng reacted and turned to look at Huan Yue, who had just gotten up.
“You're live streaming?”
After saying that, he no longer lingered and turned to flee.
—Any longer, and he would probably be surrounded by the player army!
“Don't go!” The spear-wielding guy was unwilling to let the duck that was about to be cooked fly away, and chased after him madly.
Huan Yue did not give up after getting up and followed closely behind.
A large group of overseas players speaking English also chased relentlessly.
Such a large group of people running wildly on the map was a bit too loud and could not be concealed at all.
A large number of passersby players quickly gathered.
After discovering that they were chasing Xu Meng, they joined in without hesitation.
Even worse: players gathered from all directions, and soon there were people blocking the road ahead.
Directly in front of Xu Meng, a team of players with English IDs suddenly popped out to block the road, led by none other than Niiiko.
Xu Meng activated his Wind Shield, preparing to take a round of damage and charge through.
Anyway, his health bar was thick enough, and he had regeneration.
But before he could crash into the crowd, a dozen arrows suddenly shot towards this team of players.
Xu Meng turned his head and saw that it was another group of players with Chinese IDs.
‘Are they here to help me?’
‘Have my fans arrived?’
As soon as this thought popped up, this group of players shot another volley of arrows, half flying towards Niiiko and the others, and half flying towards Xu Meng.
Some noisy shouts also reached his ears:
“Cover Xu Meng, kill the foreigners first! Don't let the foreigners steal the kill!”
“Money is not important, we must get Xu Meng's first blood!”
“Cover my ass! Kill him together!”
“Call people! Call people! Surround this place first!”
“He's dead today! I said it!”
……
The Chinese players' habitual alliance strategy led to players teaming up much earlier than Xu Meng expected.
This misjudgment, coupled with Huan Yue's live broadcast reporting, directly put Xu Meng at a huge disadvantage.
A chaotic vortex of war was rapidly forming around him!
Asking for monthly tickets!
