Chapter 145 Battle Royale (2)

After some time, Vincent's group somehow came up with a plan.From a simple scan of the map, they immediately understood their location.

According to the virtual map, they were currently at the edge of the western part of the battlefield. Within this dense forest, there were many old houses and different ruins.

The red zone hadn't appeared yet, so, for the time being, they were safe.

After their short conversation, they decided to give each other a role.

Nira took the group leader role and forced Nor to take on the frontline and scout role along with S'an, while Ruoruo and Vincent assumed support roles.

Their roles matched their introduced abilities. Naturally, they didn't fully reveal all of their abilities.

Even so, no one forced them. It was normal not to fully trust strangers; they were only a temporary team, after all.

Although they weren't treating Vincent as a deadweight, no one fully trusted a Tier 1 Origin Warrior like him.

At this moment, they went inside an abandoned two-story establishment with several rooms.

The establishment was empty, as it had already been scouted by S'an, whose race's traits allowed him to turn transparent and intangible, enabling him to pass through walls without any problem.

"This place is empty. Let's go quickly and

Nira handed the storage rings to S'an and Vincent before inspecting the other items.

"These milky armors are called Tier 1 Shields. They simply increase base defense by 20%, while the three green potions are buff potions that can increase movement speed by 20% and physical damage by 10%!"

She then handed the armors to Nor and S'an as they were the scouts, before giving everyone a recovery potion.

Now, everyone had their own recovery potion.

"I'll hold these buff potions for now…"

Ruoruo revealed 3 more transparent white armors and a small device with a simple button.

"With these 3 more shields, we all can equip Tier 1 Shields," said Nira. She continued, "While this device can scan a single target building, revealing all the presence inside."

Nira stored it without a word.

Their eyes then gathered at Vincent.

Still silent, he showed them the item he had found.

"Hehe, we found that!" said Ruoruo, seemingly proud of the loot.

"Well, isn't that surprising. Well, you may hold it for now. We can use it later."

Nira immediately snapped a glare at Nor, who was about to say something.

Nor had no choice but to forget whatever he was trying to say.

"Okay, let's go and clear the other buildings before the others arrive!"

Just in the early minutes after the Battle Royale began, some groups in close proximity had already started fighting.

Needless to say, similar situations were happening across the battlefield.

Vincent's group was fortunate to be at the edge. However, there was also a disadvantage: groups engaged in constant battle might have better loot and items by the time they encountered them.

At the 10-minute mark, the circle began shrinking.

After another 10 minutes, it shrunk again.

It was at that moment, as they were leaving the dense forest and approaching the desert environment, that they finally had their first encounter.

Surprisingly, it was with a group of a race very familiar to Vincent.

They were bipedal hyenas—Yeenlings!

All of them were Peak Tier 2.

Initially, Vincent had no idea what their official race name was. Fortunately, he had read more about the Origin World before returning here.

As soon as they saw Vincent's group, the Yeenlings bared their fangs, growling. They all wore Tier 1 Shields.

With snarls and erratic movements, they rushed toward Vincent's group without a word.

Vincent observed that the Yeenlings were dangerously focused on Nira and Nor, glaring at them with visible hatred.

"Nor! Kill these low-class copycats!" Nira spat venomously.

The Yeenling and Cheetral races had a long-standing enmity. Despite their similar appearances, the Yeenlings were savages, notorious for ganging up on and slaughtering the Cheetrals.

"You don't need to tell me. I already planned to kill every fucking Yeenling I find in this place!" Nor roared, baring his fangs and crouching slightly.

In the next moment, two more Nor clones appeared beside him.

As one of the Yeenlings pounced, Nor charged forward with his clones, meeting the attack head-on.

Bam!

Clang!

Awoo!

The clash of claws and shields echoed, followed by a howl of pain as Nor's attack left deep wounds across the Yeenling's chest.

"Fucking yellow cat!" cursed the injured Yeenling.

Before it could retreat, a tall, slender humanoid figure materialized in front of it.

"Be quiet, spotty dog!"

It was S'an, who had quickly moved to support Nor.

S'an's massive hands vibrated with blinding speed, creating a buzzing sound.

Bang!

With a single strike, his hands smashed the Yeenling's head, killing it instantly.

"Good job, big guy!" Nira praised.

"I'm the strongest!" S'an roared, exhilarated.

"Sphart!" one of the remaining Yeenlings cried out in anguish.

"Fuck! Avenge our brother!"

"Awooo!"

The remaining Yeenlings charged, but even as they fought ferociously, Vincent's group maintained the upper hand.

In no time, the Yeenlings were covered in deep injuries. Just as Nira and the others were about to finish them off, the Yeenlings each pulled out a token.

Their figures blurred.

"This won't be the last time. We will meet again!"

The next moment, they vanished completely, safely exiting the Tower of Speed.

Escaping the trials was supposed to be impossible once they started. However, Vincent knew what the Yeenlings had used: a Tower's Escape token.

This item, costing 5,000 Tower Points, allowed users to exit the tower safely, even mid-trial. The downside was that they wouldn't be able to re-enter the tower for a whole month.

Nira and Nor clicked their tongues in frustration at the Yeenlings' escape but didn't dwell on it.

They knew their current situation. There was no time to relax or lose focus.

"Let's go!" Nira commanded, and the group pressed onward.
