With the death knight’s control skills, the shadow thief’s light arc was extremely accurate and ruthless.
Forget two people, the damage overflow was enough to send five people home!
After taking another two kills, Little Lunatic Wei had gotten a burst of wealth and had completely transformed into a Battlesong Tyrant.
Contestants couldn’t see their enemies’ farm panel, but the audience, who had god’s perspective, could see it all very clearly.
Across the entire Battlesong Plains, the gold coin savings of all seven remaining survivors (the odd number due to the berserker warrior who’d left his brother behind and escaped), couldn’t match up to the great and little demon king’s gold coins!
Fortunately, there were equipment restrictions in the outer zone. Even if one had gold, they could only obtain basic equipment. But after they headed to the central zone and switched to half finished equipment, who on earth would be able to beat them then!
It was also fortunate that the players in the other outer zones were unaware of the situation in Battlesong Plains. If they did, they would definitely scream, “Noobs in the Battlesong Plains, stop sending your heads over!”
Um…
It was really a bit like giving heads away in a passerby game.
The noobs in the Battlesong Plains… Oh, wait, the contestants were also quite aggrieved. They really didn’t want to send their heads over. Weren’t those who’d been able to join the global doubles competition and obtain the qualification to register the best from each competition zone?
It was so shameful to get abused and killed like this!
Yet there really was no other way!
It had still been alright in the early stages, but the gap now… What were they supposed to use to resist the light arcs?
Wei Xiao finally got a chance to recover his health. Although he’d gotten five kills, he’d also been on the brink of death by the time the light arcs had landed. If even a single blade swept over, he would end up heading home early, therefore restoring peace and prosperity to the Battlesong Plains.
However, it was impossible for there to be a blade sweeping over. Did they think the death knight by his side was there just for decoration––
Six wings of darkness were fully activated, and he held a long sword in front of him. Who would dare to take even half a step forward through this pool of thunder?!
Wei Xiao, who was now at full health again, complained in disdain, “There’s nothing much left to fight in Battlesong Plains. Why hasn’t the central zone opened up yet?”
It’s only been seven minutes, darling!
If the central zone was opened up seven minutes into the game, how would the other contestants have any way to survive?
You guys have already activated your second talent, given yourselves whole sets of equipment, and your coffers are overflowing with gold coins. What about the others?!
The remaining players trembled in fear and cursed at the system’s map allocation: Anywhere else was fine, why did they have to toss these two into the Battlesong Plains?!
The Battlesong Plains had already become a one-sided situation. Based on the current situation, it was highly likely that great and little demon kings would obtain the ‘Grand Slam’ and ‘Survivor’ achievements.
Grand Slam – kill everyone in the outer zone.
Survivor – be the only survivor (in doubles, this referred to being the only two survivors) left in the outer zone when the central zone opened up.
Although there was already no suspense in the Battlesong Plains, the director didn’t dare to cut off the scene there.
The audience was engrossed in this feel-good script so they wouldn’t dare cut it.
The director could only create a five square grid, with the Battlesong Plains displayed prominently on top. The dangerous Falling Star Lake and Moonlight Wetlands were shown beneath it, and at the bottom were scenes from the mysterious Thousand Needle Forest and Shining Gold Temple.
About ten minutes into the game, the other outer zones had also grown lively.
Due to the terrain and environment, the other outer zones were bound to require some time to heat up. For example, Shining Gold Temple and Thousand Needle Forest.
The former had Daddy Li guiding the dizzy and directionless proud flower through the maze, while in the other zone, Teacher Yuan brought along a silly Big G to explore the map.
These two teams hadn’t gotten many kills. One team had been unable to encounter anyone, while the other team had gotten their kills snatched away by the Thousand Needle Forest!

Unfortunately, he was in the Moonlight Wetlands. Every step he took landed him in the swamp, and he’d trip over a magic vine with every other step. God Xie’s bad luck went beyond an ordinary level of unluckiness. When he finally encountered someone around the corner, a magical vine suddenly burst out from underground and gave him a tentacle hug before God Xie could kill the other party.
Fans who saw this scene burst into laughter, as did his teammates and coach.
Echo even took a screenshot and tweeted, “Those who walk by the river often can’t keep their shoes dry.”
Using a Chinese phrase… The European fans wanted to say that they didn’t understand!
Someone explained it––he’d used the void mage too much, so he was now receiving due love and care from the tentacles.
Xie He’s recently most used talent was the void mage, and he tied people up with tentacles every day. Now, he was the one all tied up tight.
Eve had never attached much importance to the doubles. Xie He and Miller had teamed up to participate because they were in a good mood and wanted to join the fun.
It had to be said that before this, the pufferfish had only played a total of five or six games on Sky Island. He wasn’t just unfamiliar with the terrain––
He was completely unfamiliar with it!
Of course, this didn’t affect God Xie’s ability to show off to the heavens. Just wait until he broke free from this damned magic vine, until he walked out of this pit-filled Moonlight Wetland, once he finally made his way to the central zone…
Miller rubbed his forehead: I’m afraid that wasn’t going to happen.
The circle of light began to shrink, and the outer zones fell. Wei Xiao was very regretful after the central zone opened up, “We’re missing a person.”
He and Lu Feng had gotten a total of 17 kills together. One person had escaped the net.
One sentence from Lu Feng was enough to make him excited again, “There are rewards for First Blood in the central zone.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Charge! Laozi was coming for the special skill, fury!
There wouldn’t be more than five special skills on Sky Island throughout each game. It was guaranteed to drop with First Blood, and there was also a chance to obtain it at thirty kills.
And this guaranteed drop for First Blood wasn’t limited to the outer zones. It also applied to First Blood in the central zone.
Wei Xiao’s First Blood reward in the outer zone had been the invincible shield. Reasonably speaking, for most people, this special skill was more powerful than fury.
One second of invincibility was enough to complete a kill, even if the cooldown was as long as five minutes. Regardless of whether it was in the early or late stages of the game, this special skill was a god-level skill.
Although fury could increase the damage dealt by 80%, this wasn’t very significant or useful in the later stages. After players put together a full set of equipment, there would most likely be an overflow of damage. As long as it wasn’t a one against ten fight, there wasn’t much point in dealing so much damage, which made this special skill much less practical than the invincible light shield.
However, Wei Xiao wanted fury much more than he wanted the invincible light shield.
Why?
Heh, did that still need to be asked?
Everyone in the Battlesong Plains had fallen, so Wei Xiao and Lu Feng didn’t encounter anyone as they rushed into the central zone.
Sky Island was circular, and when the circle of light contracted, the area that remained was also circular. Generally, players from the same outer zone would be squeezed into the same side of the central zone at the same time, and players that didn’t manage to battle against each other in the outer zone would inevitably encounter each other head-on when entering the central zone.
However, the fish that escaped their net in the Battlesong Plains had died outside the circle of light, and the great and little demon kings who had survived weren’t about to fight each other, so…
What should they do, there was no one to fight!
Wei Xiao still wanted to get First Blood in the central zone!
Lu Feng spoke, “Come here.”
There was no one behind them, so they could only go to other zones to ‘steal kills’!
The Moonlight Wetland was above them on the map, and Falling Star Lake was below them. Falling Star Lake was a bit closer to them, so…
“Contestants from Falling Star Lake, run for your lives!”
Fans who saw this scene and analyzed the great and little demon kings’ thoughts gloated and cheered.
The situation at Falling Star Lake had indeed been difficult.
This year, the China competition zone’s style had been quite toxic. Weren’t Chinese people supposed to be gentle and elegant, and not advocate fighting fiercely?
Why had they all mutated this year? They were each more reckless than the other (and even more shameless)!
It wasn’t too embarrassing for players to fall under the great demon king’s blade in the Battlesong Plains, but the contestants in Falling Star Lake were chased and killed by the unknown player Asleep, who was hiding at the bottom of the lake. What kind of grievance was this!
If it hadn’t been for the intense battle at Battlesong Plains, then Falling Star Lake would have been the highlight of this year’s competition.
Falling Star Lake was triangular; its widest part was the outer perimeter, then it gradually condensed inwards. Regardless of whether the contestants wanted to or not, they had to struggle towards the narrow part of the lake in order to make it to the central zone.
Moreover, skill points and equipment were also distributed in the most dangerous areas, so risks and benefits came together. There was no point in playing the doubles competition if they didn’t charge into such places.
This forward charge was like a swarm of bees all crowded together.
It wasn’t clear how the two contestants from 3U managed to achieve it, but they had managed to guard the point where the lake narrowed inwards very early on.
As a lake, there were naturally both wide and narrow areas. Although that upstream entrance wasn’t the only way to reach the central zone, everyone knew that there was a coral reef there that was full of gold coins.
Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of this opportunity to reach the central zone with semi-finished equipment and slaughter their way into the finals?
Unfortunately, there were two guardian gods laying in wait there!
Asleep and Cong Yi didn’t pay any attention to the coral reef behind them at all. They didn’t pick up any of the gold coins and just waited for the fish to take the bait.
One. Two.
Three. Four.
The game refreshed too quickly, and the newly arrived players couldn’t see the corpses of those who’d come before them at all. They could only wait to be killed by the berserker thief’s scythe, cursing as they died, “F*ck, how shameless!”
Who cared about being shameless? Wasn’t it nice to harvest heads?
Asleep’s gold coffers were constantly overflowing, while Cong Yi had started with the elemental shaman and delivered extreme control skills. When coupled with the berserker thief’s passive skill, it was incredibly easy for Asleep to bite two people to death on his own.
All the kills were given to Asleep, while Cong Yi only picked up a few skill points. After he unlocked the holy priest talent, Brother Sleep became even more dominant in Falling Star Lake.
The commentator also gave very sharp commentary on the situation on this side, believing that Asleep was bound to become a strong contender for the final circle. After all, he had too much farm and would definitely be a daddy-level figure in the central zone.
He’d guarded the coral reef, and after killing enough people, he’d gone back to harvest the gold coins. His farm situation might even end up higher than that of Little Lunatic Wei.
After all, the farm from Battlesong Plains was evenly distributed between the great and little demon kings, while in Falling Star Lake, Cong Yi had crazily given up his farm to feed Brother Sleep. The resource allocation was extremely skewed.
However… Falling Star Lake ultimately ended a little differently.
Brother Sleep and Cong Yi suffered a huge setback toward the end.
The contestants couldn’t see it from their own perspective, but the audience who had god’s perspective were watching intently, “Oh my god, how long have Captain Fu and Eurostar-star been squatting there for!”
“I only know that two or three waves of people have already died there.”
“What are they doing!”
“Could they be trying to get Asleep?”
“With Asleep’s farm, Eurostar and Captain Fu combined aren’t enough to beat him!”
“Fight? You’re expecting too much from our Timid Euro.”
“If they aren’t going to fight, then what are they doing there…”
“Holy sh*t!”
The audience got it: The coral reef! The gold coin pile!
Fu Li and Eurostar’s timing was really perfect. They watched as the circle of light shrank and how the players who’d been blocked by Cong Yi, Asleep and the terrain grew furious and attacked as a mob.
Everyone who was still alive crowded over, fighting to the death to kill these two b*stards.
Brother Sleep had been looking forward to them charging forward together. Skills didn’t discriminate between people, and whoever remained standing would be the ultimate winner. With his current equipment and Cong Yi’s heals, there was no doubt that he would end up the final winner.
The fight in front of them was intense, and special effects flew around everywhere. A group of players who didn’t have ultimate moves gave off the same imposing air as a thousand soldiers, which was enough to show how irritated everyone was.
Only…in that small, small corner, at that blind spot in the field of vision that no one was paying attention to, two figures snuck past.
They didn’t have stealth skills or camouflage skills, but these two were able to sneak into the coral reef without anyone else realizing it.
It wasn’t clear if it was Timid Euro’s sensitive antennae that should be praised or the Master Calculator’s divine calculations that should be admired!
In short, Brother Sleep took three kills up ahead and ended the battle at Falling Star Lake. In the back, Fu Li and Eurostar had already perfectly completed their ‘home robbery’ and were rushing ahead to the central zone.
Cong Yi: “Not good!”
He turned back to look; where was the coral reef? Where was the pile of gold coins?!
It had all been completely moved away by someone else.
Brother Sleep’s eyes were sharp, and he caught sight of someone’s back, “Fu Li?”
Cong Yi sighed. “Other than Old Fu, who else would be such a dog.”
Later, when Glory’s Mic Explosion King released the voice chat for the doubles competition, the audience who heard this didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
You still have the nerve to call others dogs? From the way you blocked the resources, slaughtered and robbed everyone, you’re even more shameless, okay?!
Asleep didn’t say anything, but he was full of killing intent.
Eurostar ran an 800 meter race and rushed into the central zone, equipping himself with a set of new equipment. “Captain, Asleep is definitely going to kill me!”
This aggro meter was completely filled up!
Fu Li’s sharp eyes flashed slightly from behind his glasses, “I’m afraid there’s no need to wait for Asleep.”
Eurostar: “!”
He looked up, then sucked in a breath, “Is our luck so bad?” Or could it be said that good deeds would let one reincarnate in heaven, while robbery would bring about retribution?
Wei Xiao, who’d rushed over all the way from the Battlesong Plains, was amused. “Isn’t that Eurostar-star?”
Eurostar-star: QwQ!
After getting closer, Wei Xiao was able to see the equipment on Eurostar’s body more clearly, “You’ve been doing well.”
Six half-finished pieces of equipment, and he’d probably also unlocked his second talent. It looked like this Euro-bun had had quite a fun time in Falling Star Lake.
Only… this was where it would end.
Little Lunatic Wei sharpened his blade and rushed towards the star.
🤣 I simply love this
Thanks xiin
Thanks for the chapters
Wei Xiao’s killing intent and excitement in the doubles makes me excited too! That final line of the chapter – perfect! Can’t wait for the next chapter. Thank you for the translation!
Little Lunatic is unstoppable 🤣🤣
