Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 330: One Dead, One Fled

Xu Yi had no idea that the organizers had dispatched a large number of invisible surveillance drones to follow him. Fortunately, these drones are highly intelligent, automatically pausing filming when privacy is involved.

Xu Yi brought the knife handle, but the gun handle had been cut off by him. They took everything out, ensured they were secure, and then the two of them armed themselves and began moving toward Group 008’s Liu Li and Cheng Jie.

Even though this is a desert, Xu Yi felt it wasn’t so peaceful.

The organizers had mentioned that while there were fewer animals here, that didn’t mean there were none.

"This desert is too vast. Would it even be possible to reach the edge after ten days of walking?"

"Doesn’t this new challenge location seem not too terrifying? With such a stockpile of points and food, enduring a hundred days by hunting a few more beasts should be quite feasible, right?"

"Easy, right? Try saying that after finding water, will you?"

"Are the organizers expecting them to rob each other in the desert and then head into the jungle? I wonder if the jungle here differs from the one on the island."

"The whole world is watching; who would dare?"

"What about those eliminated players? They chose to return and continue the challenge to survive on Spirit Blue Star. Do morality and law still mean anything to them?"

"Oh no, wouldn’t these eliminated players be very dangerous and scary?"

"Dangerous? Hardly. Their strength pales in comparison to the challengers. Being away from Spirit Blue Star for so long, the strength gap must be gigantic."

"Even if they’re strong, can they be stronger than bullets and guns?"

"It’s hair-raising. These eliminated players really aren’t easy to deal with."

"The safest group should be Wanzi and her cousins. After all, Qin Yue is Qin Fan’s cousin and Qin Chao’s cousin. Who knows if they have some inside connection with the organizers, allowing them to be grouped together like this."

Xu Yi and Lu Ke moved toward the two individuals marked on the map, feeling that without a reverse direction, it’s easy to get lost here. Because, with no reference points, every direction looked like the same flat plain.

The ground was also littered with black and gray stones of varying sizes.

Navigating direction in such a place is simply a joke.

The feeling is akin to standing at a spot in the Arctic ice field, where apart from snow, you see nothing and have no means of discerning direction. Unless, you have other tools to assist.

Just not sure if a compass works on this planet.

As Xu Yi and Lu Ke moved toward Cheng Jie and Liu Li, the latter pair stopped.

Since being transported to this desert last night, they hadn’t rested at all, continuously moving closer to Xu Yi and Lu Yao.

After watching the live broadcast for so long, Cheng Jie and Liu Li knew well that meeting up with Xu Yi’s group was preferable to uniting with Zhou Chun; Xu Yi’s group was stronger.

The two stopped for a rest, planning to eat something, drink some water, and then continue their journey.

At night, water demand wasn’t high, but when the sun rose, the temperature quickly climbed above 30 degrees. Under such heat, traveling demanded a lot of water.

"Cheng Jie, did you feel something?" Liu Li suddenly stood up and grabbed her machete.

At the eliminator’s camp, she hadn’t learned much, just some blade techniques.

Cheng Jie immediately unslung her crossbow and glanced around.

Whether or not there’s danger, assuming a defensive stance is always a smart move.

"Member Kari of Group 02 has died, member Cyril of Group 02 has forfeited the challenge."

A voice echoed in everyone’s mind.

It was now 8:27 a.m. on the 100th day; just under five hours since everyone arrived here, yet someone had already died.

And it wasn’t an eliminated player, but a ’strong’ challenger who had successfully lasted for 100 days.

Most viewers flooded into the Group 02 live room to see what was happening.

Then, they found that while the members of Group 02 were seeking their matched group, they encountered a giant lizard perfectly camouflaged because its skin was also blackish-gray and spotted.

When it attacked Group 02, Kari’s waist was bitten off directly, giving him no time to react.

Cyril used his longsword to attack the giant lizard, but couldn’t break through its defense. This lizard, five to six meters in length, was much larger than a crocodile.

More terrifying was its speed. After biting off Cyril’s longsword, Cyril began to flee. Had he not forfeited quickly, he too would have been bitten in the waist like Kari.

No one expected that Group 02, which lasted 100 days, would fall to a single lizard, resulting in one death and one escape.

After all, which of these challengers hadn’t dealt with lions or tigers before?

This outcome left all the viewers stunned.

It also made every challenger more alert.

Less than five hours in, and there was already one dead and one disqualified.

Bear in mind, if you forfeit now, it only affects you personally; it doesn’t mean your entire group has forfeited. This means if you’re willing, even if your teammates get eliminated, you can still continue the challenge.

The challengers can return, but after coming back, they lose the option to forfeit the challenge again. Continuing lets you reserve this option for a future use.

Upon hearing this voice, Cheng Jie and Liu Li were even more on edge.

Viewers who switched from channel 77 were even more so because such giant lizards were difficult to spot when blending with the environment.

Their bellies were red and could only be seen when moving.

Having sensed something, the viewers who had migrated from Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s channel were scouring the scene, wanting to see if a terrifying giant lizard was truly lurking in their broadcast.

"To the right, the direction at ground level, that’s the lizard. Look, the red eyes, just a tiny spot."

"Wow, it really is, less than ten meters away from them."

"It’s licking its lips, it’s about to attack..."

"Xu Yi and Loli Ke are so unlucky to be matched with the weakest eliminated players and then encounter the giant lizard."

"This lizard is probably twice the size of a Komodo Dragon. No wonder the challengers can’t handle it; their group is doomed. Eliminated players, you can’t give up; you have to fight to the death."

"Cheng Jie spotted it, she’s firing her arrows."

With Cheng Jie’s arrow striking, it directly hit the giant lizard’s eye.

It can be said that Cheng Jie’s archery was commendable.

At the eliminator’s camp, whatever you wanted to learn would be taught by highly skilled masters.

Although they didn’t gain much strength, they learned various skills at the eliminator’s camp. Those who lazed around and learned nothing didn’t have the courage to continue the challenge.
