Chapter 6, Success.

He originally had no intention of taking action; as long as he quietly lurked in a corner and held on for five minutes, he could collect the prize and leave. According to the rules, as long as he persisted for five minutes without being defeated, he would be considered the winner.

The heart of any enemy that is attacked will lose its ability to resist

At that moment, a sudden outcry and muffled groans erupted from more than ten meters away, accompanied by the intense sounds of fists and feet colliding. Soon, that area was thrown into chaos

He stood still in place, motionless, like a statue

Ai Hui immediately sensed that there were people nearby, very close to him, which was different from his expectations

The battle is not over; what follows is a contest of wisdom and resilience

Heart

Countless experiences of life and death have informed his body that in such situations, the active aggressor holds a greater advantage

Someone is approaching her! She is completely unaware, hearing no sounds, and there is no change in the airflow around her. A chill explodes from her tailbone, spreading along her spine.

Puff

Like a slippery loach, his right hand slipped into the armor and encountered a knot. Without a second thought, he instinctively untied it, as any form of protection was merely an obstacle to him

The feeling of blind combat is indeed very different

His footsteps are light and graceful, like a cat in the night, treading softly and silently

At the moment of contact with the opponent's skin, a fleeting glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, and the intent to kill was as intense as if it were tangible. His fingers, like claws, suddenly lunged towards the position of the heart. However, at the last moment, he finally remembered that this was not the wilderness, but rather a contest for a prize of 50,000 yuan. Well, he should first restrain the opponent's vital points; if there was still resistance, then he could not be blamed for being ruthless and merciless. Ai Hui's heart was filled with a chilling intent to kill.

When Shi Xueman's mind had just relaxed for a moment, the statue-like Ai Hui suddenly moved. His movements were extremely slow, slower than those of a ninety-year-old woman and a librarian. His five fingers reached out slightly, probing forward bit by bit

The darkness made the sensation at Ai Hui's fingertips more acute than usual, leaving him somewhat perplexed

Unlike the silent hunt of the deep-sea dive just now, this claw strikes with a sharp sound, as swift as lightning

The tactile sensation... seems... not quite right...

She saw an unprecedented road

The suffocating attack had not yet ended. What surprised Shi Xueman was that the opponent's body coiled around hers like a snake. The opponent was pressed closely against her back, resembling an octopus, straddling her lower back. Their legs, like thick steel wires, extended forward, pinning her legs down, with the toes turned inward like iron locks, firmly gripping her calves.

Up to this point, the other party has not utilized their elemental power. Is it due to holding back, or is their elemental power weak? She is uncertain

The strength of the prey exceeded his expectations, and a dangerous signal had just arisen in his mind, prompting his body to react instinctively. Without a moment's hesitation, his left forearm, which had been entangled with the target, suddenly shot up like a venomous snake, with his outstretched fingers darting towards the target's throat like lightning.

A strange light flickered in her beautiful eyes, and as the primordial energy within her body circulated, her body, which had been tightly bound, suddenly trembled slightly

However, what he needs to address first is the opponent's armor, which is not a significant issue for him. Disarming and untying is one of his most proficient skills in the wilderness. The armor of the barbarians is rough and thick, and ropes are often resistant to blades and swords; only through skill can the knots be untied. Stripping the armor from the fallen barbarians is the focus of his work.

Ai Hui faintly sensed the position of the other party, and his movements were gentle as he approached them

However, in the wilderness, there is only life and death, without any rules

It feels very fresh, captivating her.

The intense fear compelled her to struggle desperately, and the instinct for survival unleashed an unprecedented strength within her

When Ai Hui discovered that the situation had deviated from his expectations, he immediately reacted instinctively. The opponent was too close to him; at such a close distance, if the opponent launched an attack, he would likely fall into a passive position. In this state, Ai Hui measured danger by the terrifying wild beasts of the wilderness; he would never entertain the foolish notion that the people around him were unaccustomed to the darkness.

Shi Xueman soon found herself panting and drenched in fragrant sweat. She could feel her strength rapidly depleting, growing increasingly fatigued, while her opponent tightened their grip even more.

Ai Hui was like a cold hunter, firmly locking the opponent's joints in place. The opponent's struggles would only serve to exhaust their strength, and when their energy was completely depleted, it would mark the moment of the prey's demise

Danger!

The hair continuously brushed against the mask on the face, which remained cold and indifferent with closed eyes behind the mask. This is a normal situation; any beast struggles most fiercely before death, let alone a human.

He did not know how to describe this vague feeling, nor did he know what basis this conjecture was made upon, but the wilderness does not require a basis; there is only victory or defeat, survival or death

She felt as if she were a hunter lurking in the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Her heart was filled with confidence, and under her highly focused attention, even the slightest change in her surroundings was vividly apparent to her.

She suddenly broke free from her previous state, her body covered in goosebumps. She had not moved, so why did she come into contact with something

His body leaned slightly forward, with all his muscles poised and ready to spring into action

Shi Xueman faintly sensed a hint of danger, although she was not entirely certain. Nevertheless, this made her vigilant, her attention highly focused, as her ears strained to capture the sounds around her

The immense force caused her wrist to throb with pain. She hurriedly leaned back with all her might, yet still could not completely evade the attack. Her throat tightened, her vision darkened, and she nearly lost consciousness. However, she also knew that she had to endure, no matter how difficult it was at that moment. She gritted her teeth and held on, using her only movable wrist to fend off the opponent's relentless barrage of attacks, ignoring the searing pain at her neck.

However, her reaction was half a beat slow, and by the time she understood, she had already fallen into danger

Ai Hui felt an astonishing force penetrate his body, causing his limbs to go numb and nearly slip from his grasp

From childhood to adulthood, Shi Xueman had never been in such close contact with a man, but at this moment, she felt not the slightest hint of ambiguity or flirtation, only fear, profound fear

Fortunately, the opponent's arm loosened, providing her with an opportunity to defend herself. Her delicate, boneless snow-white arm swayed like a willow in the breeze, extending without a trace of worldly heat, positioned in front of her throat.

Shixue Man, regaining a measure of composure, immediately demonstrated the effects of her long-term arduous training. Coming from a prominent family, she had a broad perspective. Initially, her momentary panic, caused by confusion, led to a chaotic situation. Now, having regained her calm, she quickly found a way to respond.

Shi Xueman felt a shiver run down her spine, every hair on her body standing on end once again. She had no doubt that if this claw landed on her throat, it would surely leave five bloody holes.

He loosened it a little

Hmm

This tremor was far less intense than her earlier struggles, yet the force that erupted was far greater than any of the previous instances.

The raised right hand, like a wisp of light smoke, swiftly and silently unties the knots of the armor. If someone were to see it, they would hardly notice the pause of his fingers

He is like a seasoned hunter, sensing that his prey has become aware.

Hit the target!

She couldn't help but shake her head inwardly; any action at this moment would provoke an attack from others

Indeed, feeling that her struggles seemed to have an effect, Shi Xueman's body writhed even more violently

The moment a slight sense of obstruction reached his fingertips, Ai Hui did not hesitate to launch an attack

Shi Xueman felt a bit excited; she had never experienced such a battle before. She sensed her nerves were more taut than ever, and her awareness of her surroundings was unprecedentedly sharp. If she could maintain this level of acuity, her combat effectiveness would surely undergo a qualitative leap

The slightly bent knee, the powerful tendons suddenly burst forth, the forward-leaning body requires no adjustment, like an agile and fierce cheetah, it pounces out like lightning. The sensation at the fingertips becomes even more intense, and the experienced Ai Hui immediately deduces that he has made contact with the opponent's shoulder

This type of block is one of her most practiced skills; despite the opponent's fierce attacks, she still managed to defend firmly.

Shi Xueman's tenacity intensified the sense of danger in Ai Hui's heart, and almost instinctively, he launched even more intense and lethal attacks

Shi Xueman let out a slight sigh of relief, realizing that it had just been her own illusion. There was no one within a three-meter radius around her.

Suddenly, she felt something touch her shoulder

In the wilderness, darkness reigns supreme. Countless acts of slaughter and ambush quietly unfold in the shadows, taking away life and warmth. Those who cannot adapt to the darkness, no matter how powerful they may be, cannot survive in the wilderness

Moreover, she quickly discovered a potential weakness of the other party. The reason it is considered potential is that she is uncertain.

Unlike others who are hesitant and reserved, Ai Hui thrives and flourishes.

He could clearly feel the target in his arms suddenly stiffen.

Ai Hui's attention was highly focused, completely oblivious to the sounds of fighting nearby, unaffected in the slightest. All of his attention was concentrated on his fingertips. He knew that if he made contact with the target, the battle would be concluded in the blink of an eye, with victory and defeat determined in an instant.

In a slightly more distant area, she could hear the breathing of several individuals. Although they were making every effort to hold their breath, she still managed to catch it, and she also heard someone moving stealthily to her left

At this moment, she finally came to her senses from the fear

Silence and darkness are the best companions

She sensed a strong aura of death

His movements were slow, so slow that there was not a whisper of wind. This is where Ai Hui's experience shone; in a dark environment, the airflow and sound of the wind were as dazzling as light. Beasts skilled in hunting, before launching an attack, were as quiet as the pitch-black night

It is very quiet around, devoid of anything.

The fierce lock made her feel as if she were a fish caught in a net, powerless to struggle. She wanted to remove the restraining bracelet, but her limbs were locked in place, unable to move even a fraction. She did not hear the breathing behind her, nor the fluctuations of the other person's breath; the cold silence filled her with fear, as if she were being attacked by a lifeless machine, with steel cables entwined around her. What terrified her even more was that the other party was tightening their grip little by little.

Suddenly, he stopped and held his breath

However, with a sudden twist of her arm, her arm was ensnared by the opponent's arm, which was executed with great ferocity, leaving her feeling as though her right arm had lost all sensation

As Deng Shixue Man reacted, the fierce and aggressive attack descended upon her like a mountain pressing down, causing her to lose her balance on the spot. Her body fell downward, and the counterattack she had prepared with her left hand became ineffective. Instinctively, she extended her palm, attempting to press against the ground to stabilize her form

Puff

His nerves were highly tense, and the muscles throughout his body were in a peculiar state, akin to a volcano nearing its critical point; just a tiny spark would be enough to set him off. However, from the outside, there were no signs to indicate this.
