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

Netizens from several countries engaged in a chaotic battle in the live stream, nearly crashing the server.

Inside the command center, technicians stared at the data captured on various screens.

Jiang Lai stood in front of the control panel, watching the chaotic battle of comments in the live stream, her eyes cold.

Chen Zheng strode in from outside, holding a folder in his hand.

"Chief of Staff, an urgent telegram forwarded from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

He handed the folder over.

"The countries of the six players who were just killed in the game jointly issued a letter of protest."

"They accused Lin Sui-an of ignoring the common destiny of mankind and maliciously slaughtering his fellow human beings."

"They demanded that we intervene immediately in her behavior, and even demanded that we issue a public apology and reimburse them for their resources."

Jiang Lai seemed to have heard a joke; without even looking at the folder, she pushed it back to Chen Zheng.

"Ha! A protest letter?"

"The 'if you can't beat them, so you sue their parents' approach—are you taking it to the national level now?"

Old Zhao sat in the chair next to him and snorted coldly, "They've lost all sense of shame."

"Their men blatantly stole our survival shelter, and when they died because they were outmatched, they still had the nerve to ask for compensation?"

Jiang Lai turned to Sun Ming: "Has the joint statement been drafted?"

Sun Ming immediately stood up straight: "It's ready, and we can send it out anytime."

Jiang Lai tapped her finger on the table.

"No need for diplomatic language, just use plain language."

"First, all of Lin Sui'an's actions as a player from China were legitimate self-defense in the face of robbery, and were therefore justified."

"Secondly, given the protesting countries, the banditry exhibited by their players in extreme circumstances is a serious violation of the Alliance Guidelines."

"Third, and this is the most important."

Jiang Lai spoke faster.

"From this moment forward, the four nations of Dragon Kingdom, Bear Kingdom, Southern Sai Kingdom, and White Kingdom are officially allied."

"We will never cooperate with any of the above-mentioned protesting countries in any form."

"Any immigration application from citizens of the above-mentioned countries will be permanently rejected."

"Even if you only have one brick left, don't even think about setting foot on our territory."

She glanced at the live stream on the big screen.

"Published across the entire network and pinned to the top."

In the Devil's Forest.

Lin Sui'an caught up with the last two people.

These were two thin men, panting heavily, with nowhere left to run.

Ahead lay a dense thicket of thorns, with nowhere to put their feet. The two turned around, their backs to the thorns.

As Lin Sui'an approached step by step, his legs trembled like a leaf.

"Don't come any closer..."

"We really didn't do anything, we were just following along and joining in the fun!"

"I didn't hit anyone, I was the one who got hit. Look at my face, it was Lydia who hit me."

Lin Sui'an stopped. She couldn't understand what the two were saying, nor did she need to. She slowly raised the murder weapon in her hand.

"Those who follow behind and profit from others' suffering will also have to pay the price."

Without further ado, she exerted force in her wrist, and the blade was about to be swung out.

Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound approaching.

The ice tree is coming!

Without a second thought, he swung his sword, not caring whether the two were dead or alive, and charged forward with the force of his toes.

"what!"

"Sizzle!"

"Sizzle!"

As soon as Lin Sui'an left, Bing Shu strung the two of them together like candied hawthorns.

The ice tree didn't stop. Two corpses hung from the thorny branches, blood still dripping from them. It carried this string of "candied hawthorns" and chased after Lin Sui'an.

The roots were tossed about, and fallen leaves were stirred up.

Lin Sui'an looked back.

Twenty meters.

Fifteen meters.

The ice tree moved much faster than she expected, its hardened leaves scraping against the trunk on either side with a harsh screeching sound.

If he keeps running like this, he'll be caught up within thirty seconds.

She reached into her pocket with her right hand and touched the tumbler.

With a sudden push of his feet, he rolled to the left, his shoulder scraping the ground, and his left hand grabbed a handful of fallen leaves, clutching them tightly in his palm.

Using the momentum of her roll, she sprang to her feet and continued running, pulling off the cap of her tinderbox with her thumb and exhaling.

A spark flew up.

She pressed the sparks into the dry leaves in her palm, and the hay instantly ignited, flames leaping out from between her fingers.

hot.

She tossed the burning clump of dry leaves to the ground and continued running without stopping.

When the ice tree behind us reached the fire, its roots stopped abruptly, and two deep furrows were plowed into the soil.

Two barbed branches suddenly plunged into the fire.

pierce.

It missed.

Fire is not a person; it has no physical form that can penetrate it. The branches churned in the burning dry leaves, sparks flew, and broken leaves swirled around, causing the two hanging corpses to be tossed about.

Lin Sui'an glanced back.

effective.

The fire was small, and the hastily lit dry leaves wouldn't burn for long; the flames were already dwindling.

Five seconds.

The fire is out.

Ice Tree chased after Lin Sui'an again.

"here we go again."

Without saying a word, she reached down with her left hand while running and grabbed a handful of dead leaves, broken branches, and dirt.

The tinder was still clutched in his right hand, his hat had long since been thrown away, and the flame was still flickering at the tip of the pole.

Press it onto the withered leaf in your palm.

It caught fire.

This time, she didn't throw it to her feet, but instead flung it to the left.

The burning clump of dead leaves drew an arc in the air and landed on a clump of dry grass two meters away.

The hay caught fire and burst into flames with a "whoosh".

Keep running.

Three steps.

Use your left hand to scoop it up again.

point.

Throw it to the right.

Another fire broke out on the pile of fallen leaves.

The ice tree behind them caught up with the first source of fire, its roots suddenly stopped, and its branches began to frantically extinguish the flames.

Lin Sui'an didn't look back; she had already established her rhythm.

run.

Scoop.

point.

Throw.

run.

Scoop.

point.

Throw.

One clump on the left, one clump on the right, and then add another clump in the middle.

Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room.

An Shen, my idol: What is she doing??

Never eaten vegetables before: Light a fire! She lit fires along the road!

A descendant of the Zuan people: I understand! The Ice Tree will stop and deal with it as soon as it detects a heat source! An Shen is using fire to buy time!

Koi: But the dead leaves burn too fast, the fire goes out in a few seconds, and once the ice tree is extinguished, we can keep chasing it!

Another day has passed: so I've been constantly applying calming pills! Applying them continuously! Trading quantity for time!

Go China! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! We just wiped out one place and another one is on fire. Ice Tree is totally dumbfounded!

momo: I would call An Shen the "ignition maniac".

----

In the forest, the path behind Lin Sui'an had become a broken line of fire.

Clumps on the left and clumps on the right, spaced three to five meters apart, are scattered among fallen leaves and withered branches.

Each fire is small and won't burn for long, but for the Ice Tree, each one is "prey" that must be dealt with.

Ice Tree chased to the second source of fire, stopped, stirred, extinguished, and chased again.

The third is to stop, stir, extinguish, and pursue.

The fourth one was a bit bigger, with more dry grass, and it burned fiercely. It took several stirs with the branches of the ice tree to extinguish it.

By the time it raised its roots again, Lin Sui'an had already run more than fifty meters away.

The distance is widening.

Lin Sui'an was breathing rapidly, his palms were red from being burned by the fire tumbler, and his fingertips were covered in mud and grass clippings.

It's beyond our control.

She grabbed another handful of dry leaves, pressed down the tinderbox, and threw them away.

This time, the fire was thrown far, and the burning clump of dry leaves landed at the base of a palm tree, igniting the fallen leaves piled up beside the base and causing the fire to grow much larger.

The rustling sound behind me grew closer.

After extinguishing the previous fire, the ice tree chased after it. When it reached this fire, its roots stopped again, and its branches swept wildly, but the fire burned even more fiercely than the previous fires.

Five seconds.

Eight seconds.

ten seconds.

The fire is still burning.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Sui'an ran for his life.

After passing a fallen dead tree and two palm trees standing side by side, four mounds covered with dead branches and soil lay quietly on the ground ahead.

Lina and the others' pit.

There's another one next to it.

Her pitfall.
