Ancient species: Call me Uncle Tyrannosaurus Rex!

The third match, "Mirror Match of Favorite Species," is about to begin, and all participants are teleported to a huge circular arena.

The arena is divided into several independent areas, each with a mirror-like energy barrier suspended in the center.

The barrier reflects the original species of each participant, but unlike their original forms, these mirrored creatures have empty eyes, stiff postures, and exude pure hostility.

The cold, mechanical sound echoed in the arena:

"Each participant must kill as many mirrored native species as possible within the time limit."

The initial strength of the mirror creature is equivalent to that of its original species before it used any enhancement drugs.

Each time a mirror image is defeated, the difficulty increases, and the mirror image gains a slight boost.

The ranking is calculated based on a combination of kills and time taken.

First place: 800 points

Second place: 500 points

Third place: 300 points

Fourth place and below: No reward.

Each species enters its corresponding area.

"The match begins!"

Wu Yu's red junglefowl faces off against its mirror image, an ordinary rooster.

The mirror chicken flapped its wings and pecked fiercely, but the red junglefowl nimbly leaped to the side, its long legs sweeping out like whips, accurately kicking the mirror chicken in the neck.

Immediately afterwards, the red junglefowl lowered its head and pecked, its fine beak instantly piercing the throat of the mirror-image chicken.

In less than three seconds, the first mirror image fell to the ground and disappeared.

[Xia Kingdom Wu Yu, Kill Count: 1]

[Instant kill?]

The red junglefowl moves so fast!

Even with a shrunk size, he's still incredibly strong.

The moment the first mirror chicken dies, a second mirror chicken is generated. Compared to the first one, the second mirror chicken is larger and attacks faster.

The red junglefowl uses its speed advantage to circle around to the side, pushes off the ground with its long legs, spreads its wings, and uses its body weight and sharp claws to attack the head of the mirror-shaped chicken.

The mirrored chicken screamed and fell to the ground, then vanished again.

[Xia Kingdom Wu Yu, Kill Count: 2]

Then came the third, the fourth...

Although the red junglefowl has shrunk in size, this reduction has given it better jumping and gliding abilities, thus compensating for the disadvantages of its smaller size.

With the addition of special enhancement drugs for the legs and beak, although the Mirror Chicken gets stronger with each iteration, it is still no match for the Red Junglefowl.

Unlike the Red Junglefowl's composed response, participants from other countries found their chosen species to be somewhat difficult in the battle.

Apart from the participants from the United States and Russia who received some points, the other participants did not receive any points in the first two rounds. Without points, they could not strengthen or revert their native species to ancient forms, and their species' strength remained at its initial state.

The strength of the mirror species increases with each iteration, which means they have to face one opponent after another who is stronger than themselves.

For example, Lee Seok, a participant from South Korea, was currently in his own area, his brow furrowed as he watched the battle between the mirror hyena and his own hyena.

The first battle went well; Li Xi's hyenas, relying on instinct, managed to kill him after a prolonged struggle.

[Korean Lee Seok, kill count: 1]

But starting with the second one, things started to look a bit bad.

The second mirror image appeared, slightly larger, with sharper claws and teeth. After some maneuvering, Li Xi's hyena used a feint attack to tear open the mirror image's flank, winning again.

[Korean Lee Seok, kill count: 2]

But at this moment, Li Xi's hyena was already panting heavily, and there was a shallow claw mark on its front leg.

When the third mirror image appeared, its speed was noticeably faster.

The hyena's main body missed its target multiple times, but finally managed to subdue the mirror image by tripping it and then biting off its throat with great difficulty.

[Korean Lee Seok, kill count: 3]

Besides the claw marks from the previous battle, the hyena also had bite marks on its body.

"Hold on, hyena!"

Li Xi encouraged the hyenas with words, hoping they could kill more, but when the fourth mirror image hyena was generated, Li Xi's face turned pale.

At this point, the mirror hyena was already a size larger than the original.

Seeing the huge size difference, Li Xi knew that his hyena would most likely not be able to get through this hurdle.

The mirror hyena did not rush to attack, but instead slowly paced around its main body, looking for an opening.

The hyena charged forward with its remaining strength, but its mirror image nimbly dodged to the side.

The mirror image seized the opportunity to bite the main body's hind leg and yanked it hard!

"Awoo!"

The hyena howled in pain and collapsed to the ground, its hind legs covered in blood.

The mirror hyena pressed its advantage, pressing its forepaws against the main body's chest and opening its bloody jaws to bite straight at the neck.

Li Xi's hyena struggled desperately, using its front paws to brace against the mirror image's lower jaw, but the difference in strength made it difficult for the hyena to hold on.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound came from the neck bone.

The hyena's eyes quickly dimmed, its limbs went limp, and it stopped breathing.

[Korean Lee Seok, his signature species has died, his kill count is now 3.]

When South Korea saw that they were the first to be eliminated, they were instantly filled with righteous indignation.

[Korean: What is Lee Seok doing? He can't even get past the fourth level!]

[Korean: I told you long ago that this hyena is useless, but Li Xi still insisted on choosing him.]

[Korean: Shut up! You were the happiest when Lee Seok-chosen the hyenas.]

[South Korea: Including this game, they haven't earned a single point in three consecutive matches.]

In Xia Guo's live stream room, the chat was scrolling:

[The hyenas of South Korea have fallen! They were wiped out after only three mirror images were killed?]

[Weren't you pretty arrogant before? You can't even beat your own mirror image, yet you expect to tear apart someone else's chicken?]

[Li Xi scored zero points in two matches and was eliminated in the mirror match. That's truly 'fantastic'.]

The early elimination in the mirror match had already infuriated the Koreans, and the mockery from the Xia Kingdom made them feel utterly ashamed.

The two sides continued arguing.

......

The Red Junglefowl has reached level eight.

The mirrored chicken in front of me can probably no longer be called a chicken.

This mirror-image chicken is 1.6 meters tall, with only a few scattered feathers on its body. The tail feathers behind its rear have disappeared, turning into a tailbone, and its two wings have turned into two small, feathered front claws.

The comb on its head became smaller, and its beak turned into a mouth, covered with densely packed small teeth.

Looking at the mirror image chicken, Bai Zhou secretly guessed that it must have been from ten million years ago.

On the surface, there is already a tendency to revert to the archaic form of theropod dinosaurs.

Wu Yu's Red Jungle Chicken felt immense pressure facing its mirror image opponent, who was 1.6 meters tall.

The mirrored chicken's eyes were no longer empty; instead, they gleamed with a primal ferocity.

The mirror chicken stomped its powerful hind legs on the ground and pounced straight at the red junglefowl.

Red junglefowl use their speed and agility to dodge attacks by turning sideways, while simultaneously sweeping their long legs back to try and hit the opponent's side.

But the mirror chicken reacted faster. It blocked with its wing and used its short claws, which resembled forelimbs, to grab the red junglefowl's leg. Then it opened its mouth and bit the red junglefowl's neck!
