The forest seems to have no end.

The sun casts a stingy rays of light through the dense jungle, shining among the tangled roots and stray rocks on the ground. The air was filled with moss mixed with the smell of rotting leaves, and the deeper you went, the more so. One foot stepped on a piece of bluestone, but let the moss covered on the bluestone slip. Canon fell to the ground, and the angry black boy felt the left wheel and almost exploded the abominable bluestone beneath his feet.

A metal javelin reached over and pressed lightly against his hand. The cold metal of the gun tip caused Canon's body temperature, which had risen in anger, to drop slightly. Raffi said quietly, "Don't mess around, unless you want to inform Lucy that we're coming." ”

"Rafi, maybe that bitch cheated on us, it's not the first time she's lied." Canon put away the revolver, and stomped on the bluestone twice in disgust, and then gave up.

Rafi shook her head: "I don't think so. Emily wasn't strong, you saw it, she put us down in three or two. She didn't have the ability to protect herself, but she went here alone, and she was supposed to join Lucy, so she ......"

As he spoke, something suddenly flickered in the corner of Rafi's eye. He alertly caught this and turned his head to look, twenty meters away. A low bush shook suddenly, and Rafi immediately glanced at Canon, and the two lowered their bodies and silently outflanked them.

There was nothing behind the bushes, except mossy rocks and tree roots rising to the ground, and Canon shrugged his shoulders to indicate nothing. Rafi crouched down, reaching into the bushes to fumble for something. After a few moments, he pulled out a corner of his clothes.

The fibers at the edge of the corners of the garment are torn, which should be torn off by the hooked branches. Rafi raised his findings at Canon, and the two continued to track. Ten minutes later, another shallow footprint was found on the mossy coat.

In this way, they found that the prey they were tracking seemed to be in a hurry, revealing more and more flaws. Based on these traces, they found an old tree that had died. All that remained of the old tree was a dry trunk, which had corroded into a black hollow. A bush in front of it unnaturally separates slightly to the sides, as if something is forcibly passing through it.

The two of them stood outside the tree hole, and by the light, they could see a faint figure in the tree hole. Rafi glanced at Canon, and both of them shot at the same time. A javelin flew out of Rafi's hand, and Canon fired at the hollow of the tree. Anyway, they couldn't get the antidote, and they didn't expect Lucy to obey their demands, so they simply killed the third-ranked girl so as not to cause trouble.

A cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded in the tree hole, and the space in it was limited, and no matter how powerful Lucy was, there was no way to avoid it. However, Rafi was cautious, and after stopping his attack, he let Kanon stay outside while he went into the hollow of the tree. He stepped forward and stepped over the bushes. The short body burrowed into the hollow of the tree, and only when the foot fell, the soles of the feet immediately stabbed.

Looking down, there was the entrance to the tree hole, and some sharp broken bones were stuck upside down in the ground. The broken bones were sharp and sharp, and Rafi unintentionally stepped on them, and immediately plunged them into the soles of his shoes. Fortunately, it only scratched his foot, and at most he was slightly injured. But it was clearly a trap, especially in the depths of the tree hole, where his javelin nailed a shirt to the wall of the tree hole, and the corpse of a young roe deer lay on the ground, which made the trap even more meaningful.

Rafi was about to warn Kanon outside, when he suddenly found that he could not shout and that his limbs began to lose control. When he fell to the ground, he saw that there was an imperceptible light of lilac fluorescence at the tips of these bone fragments under his feet.

Poison?

Rafi was horrified, finally knowing what had happened.

Outside the hollow, when he saw Rafi suddenly fall, Canon knew something was wrong. Before he could find the person who had set the trap, Alan had already rushed out of a mass of bushes ten meters away.

As soon as Fang appeared, Alan used his tactical long knife as a javelin and threw it at Canon. The long knife burst through the air and let out a sharp whistle. Kanon immediately rolled on the ground, then bounced and fired. Allen's slaughter came in front of him as soon as the long knife was unarmed, and the slaughter rose like a shield, and Kanon's bullet struck the knife. It shook Allen's mouth and cracked.

However, Canon had no chance to fire a second shot, and Alan had already bullied him forward. The black boy roared, and flew up and stepped down at Allen. A smile flashed in the latter's eyes, and his body suddenly spun to the side, allowing Canon's attack to fail.

The figure in front of him was suddenly lost, and Canon didn't have time to recapture the opponent's figure, and suddenly felt that the whole person was fluttering. The world was even more strange in his eyes, and finally he saw Allen, and his own corpse that was slaughtered with a knife!

The entire battle took place in just a few seconds.

Kanon could have fired at least two shots, but Allen, who was the first to strike, interfered with with the tactical long knife. When he dodged the long knife, it also meant that he lost a chance to shoot. If he could do it all over again, maybe Kanon would risk being stabbed through the chest with a long knife and shoot Eren with his life, and the outcome might not have been the same.

Unfortunately, there is never a if in the world.

So Canon died, and Alan picked up his revolver and gave Rafi a bullet that didn't have time to shoot inside. Raffi is a cautious person, which is evident in his refusal to take risks when facing Emily, a weakling, and his penchant for throwing tricks behind his back. But now he died of his own caution, and if he hadn't stepped into the hollow of the tree to make sure of Lucy's death, he wouldn't have stepped on the broken bones that had smeared Eren with neurotoxins.

Trading the toxin in the wolf's saber teeth for Rafi's life, Alan felt that the business had been done. If you can, you can open it a few more times.

The hunt is over, and Alan returns to Lucy's hideout by the time it is dusk. The twilight was blank, and the twilight sun painted the ground with a dull yellow light. As Alan slid down the backlight from the grassy slope he had seen before, a cold pistol was lit at his temple at the moment of light and darkness. Then the pistol was put away, and Lucy whispered against the grassy slope, "You're back." ”

Alan shook his head: "It's not to sue you to hide. ”

"It's not my style to hide." Lucy shook her pistol: "I don't like to hide, fighting is my option." ”

"To hell with your options." Alan didn't have a good breath, and he took out the antidote he got from Emily. Throw it to Lucy and say, "Drink it." ”

I don't know if it's because of the feeling of being in the shadows, Alan always felt that Lucy didn't look as weak as before. Lucy listened to the instructions this time, took the bottle and poured the contents into her mouth without saying a word. Alan couldn't help but say, "You don't try it either, in case it's poison, you'll be finished." ”

"I believe in you." Lucy said nonchalantly.

It was a simple four words, but it hit the softness in Allen's heart, and he stood in place. Instead, Lucy looked at him strangely: "What are you doing?" It can't be that you're poisoned too, right? ”

"Talent...... Not at all! ”

"Then why are you blushing? Oh, I see. Little Alan, are you thinking of something bad? ”

"I don't think anything bad, don't talk nonsense." Alan opened Lucy's claws in his face and said, "I'm just a little tired, I'm going to kill three of them in the afternoon......"

At this point, he paused and said, "Emily is dead. ”

Lucy nodded, "I know." ”

"You know?"

"She's a smart child, but she's too smart to drive herself to death." Lucy shook the empty bottle in her hand: "She must have hidden this thing, since you got it, then she must be dead, no matter what means you use." ”

"So, how did she do it?"

"Mr. Hanny." Alan simple tip.

Lucy thought like electricity, and immediately figured out the key: "Is it using Aisha-sensei?" ”

"Well, they dropped the booster you used."

"No wonder ......" Lucy shook her head, "Forget it, don't talk about it." What's next, my big hero? ”

"First, let's get something to eat. Secondly, leave here tomorrow and find a place to hide him for two or three days......" Alan has already begun to clear the nearby grass and prepare to make a fire: "When you are completely well, we will go to find trouble with others." ”

"I love this plan!" Lucy snapped her fingers.

As they lit a campfire and ate their dinner, a metal ball flew from above the forest and landed on top of their heads. Several lasers were shot from underneath the metal ball, quickly building a screen. Several figures slide through the screen in a loop, they are teenagers who have died. The entire event was live-streamed from the scene of the death ring, and every night, these metal balls appeared near the survivors and announced their death lists.

Of course, after the list is announced, the metal ball will quickly leave. They fly so fast that even if a teenager tries to find a competitor with a guò metal ball, it can't keep up with its speed.

After the Death List loops three times, the bottom of the metal ball closes and the light screen disappears. The orb rose into the night sky, spewed out a few thin blue flames, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

In the death list just released, the death toll has reached 14. Of the 22 teenagers, only 8 were left in less than two days. Judging from the previous death rings, this is the norm. In the first three days, most of the teenagers will be eliminated, and the rest are all elite powerhouses. Usually it is at this time that the death ring really enters the high and high part of the climax.

For the remaining teenagers, it was time to truly test life and death.

The next day, Alan cleared the information about the camp and left with Lucy. They traveled north, and spent a day crossing a meadow. Find a river valley at noon the next day. The valley slope stretches diagonally into the air at a 45-degree angle, and below it is a rushing river bay. A large river winds its way from the northeast, turns sharply at a thrilling 90-degree angle at the bottom of the valley slope, flows to the north, and disappears into a vast forest.

Standing at the top of the slope, Alan looked into the distance and said, "Let's stay here for two days." ”
