Infinite Ebullience
Chapter 149 - 149 49 Crushing Defeat

149: Chapter 49: Crushing Defeat 149: Chapter 49: Crushing Defeat The newcomer to the battlefield was like a tornado, instantly stirring the surging situation.

When his target started to flee and entered another triangle’s radar range, the newcomer hesitated for a moment without leaving.

It seemed like he was prepared to play the role of a cat catching sparrows.

Unfortunately, he didn’t get the chance.

The guy, overflowing with dominance, caught up with the fleeing triangle in just ten seconds, traversing almost a hundred meters.

After another brief ten seconds, one triangle vanished completely from the radar screen.

Without any questions asked, it was clear that the unfortunate one who hadn’t managed to escape was dead.

After the radar screen was quiet just for a second, the triangle, after ripping off the Totem Seal on the other’s back of the hand, reappeared, bursting with an aggressive and relentless force.

“Damn, what a show-off.” All the hidden players simultaneously spat out swear words, shocked by the spectacle.

Tang Zheng was also taken aback.

This powerful guy indeed was something else!

Killing a man in just ten seconds – perhaps even Lin Weiguo, known for being a master of assassination and known as the Southern Blade, wouldn’t be capable of this.

Tang Zheng told himself that even if he used his Seed Ability, it’d still take around thirty seconds to take care of a regular target.

The triangle planning to play the role of the cat reacted quickly enough.

The moment the other triangle disappeared, it knew it was no match for its opponent and started to retreat immediately, moving away from the fire-lit area.

In this moment, it exerted all the strength it had, rushing to reach the Ambush Circle set up by its allies as fast as possible.

“What should we do?

The target’s getting away?” Hidden in the thick brushes, Pang Meiqin, full of anxiety on her face, called out to Lin Weiguo.

Her hidden message was that he should make a move.

She didn’t care how formidable the enemy was.

All she knew was that their almost captured Totem Seal was about to escape.

Lin Weiqguo hesitated, instinctively looking in the direction where Tang Zheng was hiding, wanting to see what he would do.

In fact, the ever-cautious Southern Blade didn’t want to take risks, having no confidence in defeating the opponent.

“Coward.” Pang Meiqin cursed inwardly, considering whether to jump out and lure the triangle over, forcing Lin Weiguo to take action.

But then she considered her own safety – what if Lin Weiguo didn’t come to her rescue?

She immediately shook this thought from her mind.

Just as Pang Meiqin was about to complain to Tang Zheng behind Lin Weiguo’s back, another triangle appeared on the radar screen, launching with even wilder force after the triangle that just got away.

“It’s Tang Zheng.” Pang Meiqin exclaimed, with a flush spreading on her cheeks, grabbing Lin Weiguo’s arm.

“Keep quiet, I know.” Lin Weiguo growled under his breath, even though his inside was anything but calm now.

“Why is the typically calculative and poised Tang Zheng so impulsive this time?

There’s no need for him to attack, or he could wait another 10 minutes to see who wins and then capitalize.”

In fact, Lin Weiguo knew the real reasons for his upset and dissatisfaction – subconsciously he didn’t want to admit that he had been outdone by Tang Zheng.

He once believed his combat prowess was unmatched but now it was overshadowed by Tang.

“Tang Zheng does have the qualifications to be the group leader.” After sighing, Lin Weiguo felt relieved.

There was no reason to compete with his brother, on the contrary, he should feel happy about having such a stalwart and wild best friend.

“Of course, Tang Zheng is the best.” Pang Meiqin was elated, feeling inclined to boast a little.

Thinking about Tang Zheng’s strong body, she couldn’t help but wish to be beneath him, “His dominance and wildness must be quite a sight in the bed.”

…

“You two go find Lin Weiguo, I’m going after them.” Tang Zheng licked his lips, staring at the radar, a surge of fighting spirit burning in his chest.

“No, that player is very strong.

There’s no need to chase.” Upon hearing his words, Li Xinlan immediately grabbed Tang Zheng’s arm.

She was quite rational, her arguments being the same as Lin Weiguo’s worries, but Tang Zheng was not listening.

“Whether I kill one or a group, it doesn’t matter.

Didn’t you notice that he’s the most valuable target of the day?

His dominance and self-confidence must be based on strong capabilities and exceptional combat records.

This indicates that he has at least ten Totem Seals.” Tang Zheng shoves off Li Xinlan’s hand, “The fact that I don’t want to wait any longer is one thing, the main point is, if I shrink back this time, I’ll always regret it.”

“Then be careful.” Seeing her words failing to dissuade Tang, Li Xinlan decisively led Zhang Yan to find Lin Weiguo.

She wasn’t the sort of woman to hold a man back and would quickly regroup with Old Lin and assist Tang.

“Be careful.” Zhang Yan began to speak, but found that Tang had already shot out like a cheetah, covering seven or eight meters in a flash.

His extraordinary speed exceeded the previous guy, again causing shock among the onlookers hiding in the surroundings.

“The hell, why are these strong ones popping up one after another today?

Is it a clearance sale?” The radar emitted rapid warning sounds, the continuous beeps merged into each other.

The retreating triangle glanced at the radar and was shocked.

Yet another guy had entered the 300-meter range, and with an unstoppable momentum was launching a fierce attack.

This guy seemed determined to eliminate everyone, even forgoing the opportunity to play cat and mouse.

…

“This is what a true king looks like.

Without the matching aura and courage, you will always be nothing more than a conspirator lurking in the shadows.” Yin Shangwu was speculating about the identity of the Triangles, guessing he might be a Conqueror.

Judging by his actions and character, Zhang Hao seemed the most likely candidate.

As he ran away, Yin Shangwu was filled with disappointment for Tang Zheng, who showed no reaction.

Just a moment’s hesitation would have meant fear, but in the next moment, his disappointment turned into admiration.

“You are the toy worthy of my play.

I almost can’t bear to break you.” A smile leaked from the corners of Yin Shangwu’s mouth, and he immediately darted out, his speed quite fast.

“Yin Shangwu has also taken up the chase.

These two are natural-born madmen.” Li Xinlan sighed, and urged the slow-moving Pang Meiqin, “We need to hurry up.”

Lin Weiguo was sprinting ahead, unwilling to be outdone by women.

…

When the alarm from the radar in his hand rose to another level, reverberating in his ears like a dense beat, the unfortunate Bait running at the front truly wanted to die.

“What kind of day is this?” He didn’t even have time to look at the radar, wildly swinging his arms and sprinting headlong.

With every breath, it felt like his lungs were being torn apart; a burning sensation spread through his entire body, his throat was unbearably dry.

The Huang Ya guy running in second place was startled by the radar alarm too.

His physical fitness had been enhanced four times over, with his speed also enhanced a further one time.

Yet, someone was keeping up.

“Could it be the Conquerors?

Zhang Hao or Yin Shangwu?

Or are there such strong characters among the men of the 22nd century?” Huang Ya thought rapidly, starting to slow down to conserve energy.

If it was an ordinary person, he would not be afraid even when tired, but dealing with a Conqueror was another story entirely.

“It couldn’t be the young guy and Jiaojiao, right?

Those two don’t have this kind of power.”

Huang Ya realized that although he was allied with Zhang Hao, if he showed fatigue or weakness, that uncontrollable guy would surely kill him and claim his props.

In the Survival Game of the Silver Trojan, talk of trust and friendship was a joke.

Tang Zheng was also speculating about the identity of the man ahead.

After witnessing the power of the Maniac and the Military Man — two of the 22nd century’s top humans, he became more cautious.

As he saw via the radar screen that the other party had slowed down a bit, he too slowed down to conserve his strength.

Even if he wanted to kill him, he would wait until he caught the Bait in front.

“It’d be best to make a move inside their ambush circle and cause an uproar.” Watching Triangle’s regular and stamina-draining escape, Tang Zheng guessed that the road ahead was full of traps.

It was possible that around the route he had taken, other players were hiding and watching him nervously.

“Is it a team of three or five?

Or even more?” Yin Shangwu also considered this.

To confuse the enemy, she decided not to join Tang Zheng and could also keep an eye on Lin Weiguo and the others who were catching up.

If they got ambushed, that would be a real joke.

Yin Shangwu was sure that the Dense Forest was teeming with hidden players and started calculating them, “How do I draw them out?

The situation would be funner if it were more chaotic; otherwise, I won’t be able to push Tang Zheng to his limit.”

The moment the Bonfire came billowing out of the Dense Forest, all the players hunting in this area of Death Island saw it and instinctively gathered here to have a share of the spoils.

The three teams that still had the qualifications to hang around here were all familiar with the local terrain.

Subconsciously, people were unwilling to venture into dangerous areas.

Any player who rashly entered this place was already at a disadvantage in the fight.

If Tang Zheng hadn’t lit this signal fire, the remaining three teams would not have encountered each other.

After a few brief skirmishes and assessing each other’s strengths, they maintained a peaceful coexistence, only attacking isolated players.

After all, nobody wanted to engage in full-out battle.

The three teams continued their usual operations, lurking in the shadows and ready to pounce like hungry wolves should their opponents show any signs of weakness.

But this time, they had met their match.

“Who the hell are these people!” The more than twenty players hidden in the Dense Forest had their eyes bulging when they saw the three Triangles on the radar screen.

They were beginning to lose their nerve; even if they wanted to seize an opportunity, they had to have the ability to kill a Mantis.

At this moment, the spirit of Tang Zheng and his team directly crushed their confidence.
