Everyone's playing hide-and-seek: This crazy beauty has maxed-out third eyes.

Countdown: 00:01

Fifteen minutes have passed.

The arresting officers officially entered the scene.

【Dear players, I wish you... a pleasant death.】

The system's voice echoed throughout the entire forest.

Lin Sui'an sat on a tree branch, his gaze fixed on the ice tree in the distance.

"Clatter—"

A piercing sound of wood tearing rang out, the trunk twisted violently, large patches of soil bulged up from the ground, and the thick roots were forcibly pulled out of the soil.

mud splashing

Countless roots covered in black mud twisted on the ground, supporting the massive tree trunk.

The branches and leaves on the tree canopy stretched out, the edges of the leaves hardened, and rows of thorns appeared out of nowhere, gleaming coldly.

Lin Sui'an squinted, and all ten ice trees "came to life".

They did not gather together, but scattered, their thick roots crawling alternately on the fallen leaves.

Extremely fast.

"Shhh—"

This is the sound of death approaching.

Lin Sui'an turned his neck and looked to the left front. The ice tree stopped in front of a bush.

Without any unnecessary movement, two thick branches covered in barbs plunged in.

"ah--!"

A short, agonizing scream shattered the deathly silence of the forest.

When the branch emerged, a man was hanging from it.

A splinter cut into the flesh, and fresh blood dripped down the branch.

The man struggled twice and then stopped moving.

The ice tree swung its branches, leaving the corpse on the ground, and continued crawling in the next direction.

Lin Sui'an raised an eyebrow. The person was too accurate, even more so than the eerie second half hour of the first two rounds of the game.

There was no search.

The bushes blocked the view, but they couldn't block the sound, the body heat, or the human presence.

What about underground?

She looked down and saw that the roots of the ice tree were all crawling and moving on the ground.

After they were pulled out of the soil, they walked only on the surface, without even making a move to dig back into the soil to explore.

It is safe underground for the time being.

If the ice tree no longer takes root in the ground, then the soil can insulate most of the body's heat dissipation.

However, we need to confirm first whether arresting people is based on heat.

Lin Sui'an slid down the tree trunk and landed steadily.

She glanced around and quickly gathered up a pile of dry branches and fallen leaves.

She took out the tinder given to her by Lina, pulled off her hat, blew on it, and sparks flew out. She then pressed the tinder into the center of the pile of dead leaves.

The hay catches fire easily, and flames shoot up with a "whoosh".

Without a second thought, Lin Sui'an grabbed the tinderbox and ran away.

After running about twenty or thirty meters, she used her hands and feet to climb up the trunk of a large brown tree next to her, and in a few breaths, she was up on a high branch.

The view from here is excellent; you can clearly see the fire, which is burning brighter and brighter, distorting the air with its heat.

Seven seconds.

A loud rustling sound came from the northwest, and an ice tree came into view.

It moved incredibly fast, its roots flying everywhere, heading straight for the fire.

Countless barbed branches lashed wildly down at the burning bonfire.

Dead leaves flew everywhere, sparks splashed onto the gray bark, but the ice tree did not react, its branches continuing to thrash wildly in the fire.

It only stopped moving when the flame was completely extinguished and the remaining heat had dissipated.

It shook off the branches, turned in another direction, and moved again.

"It really is calories."

Now I feel relieved.

She jumped down from the tree and ran back the way she came.

The place where Lina and the others dug the pit isn't far from here. They can just stay underground and, as long as they don't make a sound, they can survive for an hour and a half without any problem.

She wasn't running fast, but she kept an eye on her surroundings. Every now and then, she could hear screams from the players hiding on the perimeter.

As Lin Sui'an approached the pit area, he suddenly stopped.

A jumble of sounds came from behind the bushes. It wasn't the sound of ice tree roots rubbing against fallen leaves, but the sound of people talking, mixed with fierce curses.

"Get out here!"

"This is our location!"

In Russian, Lydia is cursing.

Then came a muffled thud.

Lin Sui'an's expression hardened, and he reached out to touch it.

After passing a clump of waist-high bushes, the view ahead came into view.

A group of people gathered around the pit.

There were eight or nine of them, each dressed differently, and they belonged to different countries.

On the ground, Sergei was being beaten by three men; he had been punched in the face and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Why didn't you just hand over the pit earlier? You had to get beaten up!"

"You... are shameless!"

Lydia fought five people alone and was gradually gaining the upper hand.

"This woman has taken strength and speed potions; we can't beat her!"

"Hurry up, we don't have much time left," one of the bald men said anxiously.

Lina was dragged out of the pit by her hair.

"Get out of the way!" A man kicked Lina in the stomach.

Lina curled up in pain, clutching two reed stalks tightly in her hands.

"Give it to me!" The man bent down to grab it.

Lina gritted her teeth and bit down hard on the man's wrist.

"what!"

The man, in pain, retaliated by slapping Lina across the face.

Lina fell to the ground, a red and swollen handprint appearing on her fair face.

"If you wanted to hide underground, then dig your own pit! Why did you steal from us?!" Lina demanded angrily.

"Hmph, you're asking for death." The man snorted coldly, without answering, and raised his foot to kick.

"Sizzle!"

Blood splattered all over Lina's face.

"Bang!"

The man collapsed.

The sudden change brought everyone to a halt as Lin Sui'an emerged carrying the enlarged monster.

"You're trying to steal the pit I dug?"

"Is it fun?"

As Lina lay on the ground, tears streamed down her face the moment she saw Lin Sui'an.

"Happy New Year..."

Sergei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up. Lydia withdrew from the crowd, and the three of them quickly walked behind Lin Sui'an.

"Sui'an, it was people from their country who told them they could hide underground, but instead of digging themselves, they came and robbed us," Lina quickly explained.

The man who was fighting Lydia got up, clutching his chin. He recognized Lin Sui'an and had watched her live stream before.

This girl from China, dressed in black, is a ruthless individual who has won S-level awards twice.

"Lin Sui'an!" The man took a step back and said in fluent Mandarin, "This is none of your business. There are only three of them. There are four pits here. We'll take three, and you can still take one."

Dividing the spoils?

Lin Sui was at peace.

"You think you can just take over a hole dug by my men?"

The white man held a palm-sized stone in his hand, his face full of hostility.

"You think you can take on all of us by yourself? If you don't hide now, we're all going to die when the tree comes!"

Lin Sui'an stopped three meters away from the pit.

The slayer spun around in his right palm, and a large sword appeared out of thin air.

The sickle handle points diagonally to the ground, and the blade is wide and extremely sharp.

Everyone held their breath, instantly stunned by the sheer size of it.

Lin Sui'an slammed the murder weapon to the ground.

"boom!"

The ground shook, and fallen leaves flew everywhere.

"Climb out of the pit."

She stretched out her left hand and pointed to the bald man who had just secretly crawled into the pit.
