The Adventurers felt that something was wrong; the battle on the other side was so intense, yet the live broadcast never showed it.
This looked strange no matter how you viewed it...
However, no matter how much they questioned it from below, the big screen continued to follow the perspectives of the contestants from other towns, showing no intention of switching over.
In these short ten-odd minutes.
On the system's kill panel, Li Shenyu had already killed several people, and all of them were contestants from Baiye City. This display of strength shocked all the Adventurers watching, who cheered, proclaiming him worthy of being the number one on the Heavenly Ranking.
But no matter how powerful he was.
After the encirclement by dozens of Baiye City contestants was fully formed, he was ultimately powerless to resist.
Li Shenyu’s medicine had long been exhausted, and his health was already in the red.
The M416’s bullets were gone; he was currently using a gun picked up from a Black Horse member on the ground, but he also had very few bullets left.
What was more critical was that the poison circle had started to shrink, forcing him to move towards the safe zone, which limited his room for maneuver.
Finally, on a hillside, Li Shenyu was ultimately completely cornered.
In front was the defensive line constructed by Yu Ye’s Night Owl Team.
To the side was Lei Yu’s Black Horse Team.
On the high slope behind, Han Ying’s sniper scope once again locked onto his figure.
To the side, Lin Wei’s Scarlet Flame Team had also completed their encirclement.
Li Shenyu leaned against a large boulder, not a single bullet left in his hand.
Ultimately.
Countless bullets rained down on the boulder where he was hiding.
System Announcement: “Night Owl - Yu Ye” eliminated “Tidal Current - Li Shenyu.”
System Announcement: Tidal Squad has been completely eliminated!
Li Shenyu’s consciousness returned to the contestant area. He suddenly opened his eyes, breathing heavily, as if he could still feel the bullets piercing his body.
“Damn it!” He recalled his powerless struggle in the final moments.
Li Shenyu gritted his teeth in anger.
“Captain!”
“Don’t bother me, I want to be alone.”
“But Captain...”
“I told you, don’t bother me, I want to be alone.”
“No, Captain, do you want to see who’s here?” The voice of the girl with ripped jeans sounded.
Li Shenyu turned his head for a look and was so startled that he jumped off his chair.
“Ruo... Ruo Shu Jie...”
He saw that several people had appeared in the contestant area at some unknown time.
Walking at the very front was Li Ruoshu.
Li Ruoshu slightly raised her chin, a hint of surprise in her eyes, “Li Gou Sheng? Why are you here...? Oh, so the Kagura Strategy Group was founded by you, no wonder it has such a chuunibyou vibe.”
“It’s not that chuunibyou, and can you please not call me by my nickname in public?” Li Shenyu chuckled awkwardly, clearly a little afraid of Li Ruoshu.
“What nickname? That’s your real name, when did you change it? I was thinking, calculating the time, you should be almost an adult, why didn’t I see you on Tidal Town’s roster!”
Li Ruoshu said impolitely, “Li Gou Sheng is Li Gou Sheng, what’s with ‘Li Shenyu,’ making it all fancy... Speaking of which, when did you come to Tidal Town? Why didn’t you go say hello to your eldest uncle?”
Li Shenyu rubbed his forehead and said awkwardly, “I originally planned to, but then I thought... maybe I should first establish a career for myself, that way it would be more respectable, so I...”
“So you got beaten up like this?” Li Ruoshu glanced at the other contestant areas. The competition was still ongoing, and the second match hadn’t ended yet, so there weren’t many eliminated contestants on the field.
“I was purely ambushed by those guys; if we fought fair, they’re no match for me...” Li Shenyu was clearly still unconvinced.
Beside them.
Chen Yuxuan asked curiously, “Ruo Shu Jie, you two seem quite familiar? Who is he?”
Li Ruoshu nodded slightly, “My second uncle’s younger brother, from the same courtyard. His ability is pretty good, but his brain isn’t quite up to par.”
Li Ruoshu simply concluded.
If anyone else had said that, Li Shenyu would surely have exploded, but since it was Li Ruoshu speaking, he had no temper at all.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, he and Li Ruopu had received their most brutal beatings from Li Ruoshu.
“No wonder, I was wondering why Tidal Town suddenly had such a powerful character who made those Fenghuo guys lose their temper. So he’s from your family!” Chen Yuxuan suddenly understood.
In Adventurer World, although there isn’t a strict sense of bloodline theory, it’s undeniable that... the descendants of legendary Adventurer are generally very powerful. For example, Yu Ye of Baiye City, his grandfather and ancestors, all had powerful legendary Adventurer.
The Li family of Tidal Town is the same.
It was just that for a period they declined, and in these two generations, starting from Li Yunque, there were signs of resurgence again.
Among these two generations.
The strongest, naturally, was Li Ruoshu, followed by Li Gou Sheng. Therefore, after Li Gou Sheng became an adult, Li Yunque and the others specifically checked the roster of Tidal Town, but they couldn't find him.
At that time, they thought that Li Gou Sheng had gone to another town when choosing a town, but they didn't expect... that he disliked his name being too ugly and changed it.
It is worth mentioning here that...
The villages in Adventurer World are not villages traditionally belonging to a certain town.
They are more like separate worlds from various regions.
Before all Adventurer come of age, they live in the villages, and after coming of age, they can choose to go to a certain region and obtain the system. However, this region is not chosen randomly; it must either be a place where close blood relatives have registered their household, or a place where the family bloodline has been passed down. If there is absolutely nothing, then a random selection will occur.
When Adventurer get old and lose their systems, if the current region does not choose to support them in old age, they will return to the village.
The village is also the only place where one can labor and farm, which is the largest source of food in the village. As for other food sources, they rely on their descendants in the regions sending them food.
After Tidal Town prospered, most Adventurer sent food to their parents and elders in their villages, so currently, the living conditions in these villages linked to Tidal Town by blood heritage are quite good.
But before this...
The people in these villages still lived very hard lives.
However, hardship was relative; due to the considerable wealth accumulated by their predecessors, the Li family of Tide Current lived quite well and had always been a prominent aristocratic family.
This accidental encounter with Li Shenyu was a good discovery for Li Ruoshu.
“Speaking of which, no wonder Lord Mayor only let the three of us come over. He probably thought you were pretty good while watching the match and planned to give you a chance.”
“A chance?”
Li Shenyu said blankly, “What chance?”
“A chance for you to get revenge.”
Li Ruoshu patted his shoulder, her expression gradually becoming serious, “The second match is over. Now... it’s our turn to counterattack.”
