Battle (2)

The young woman who was close to victory was ultimately the very person who was eliminated from the game first. She collapsed to the ground with her eyes still wide open in shock.

Because the knife was directly stab at her neck, she died instantly.

The chubby man saw this scene and was horrified. The middle aged woman was standing in front of the chubby woman with a strange crazy smile on her lips. She looked like she was in her early thirties.

Her figure was slim and she was an average looking office working woman. Her hair was tied in a bun and she was wearing black pants with white collared top. A typical get up for office workers.

But at this moment, the white top was drenched with the young woman's blood. Her hair was a tangled mess and her bulging eyes and creepy smile was very eerie to look at. The chubby man could not help but shiver in fright.

He just witnessed a murder in front of his eyes! Natural instinct kicking in, he felt fear for this crazy woman!

The middle aged woman bend slightly to extract the knife from the young woman's neck and rushed forward to struck at the chubby man's forehead.

In a split second, the handle of the knife protrudes from the chubby man's forehead. Splitting his skull apart, spilling his brain matter into the ground with his blood.

"Hahahahahhahhaha!!!!!!" The middle aged woman's high pitched laugh caused everyone's spine to shiver. Even the people in the fifth square started to stand at the corner farther from the sixth square grid.

Seeing everyone being scared of her, the middle aged woman smiled maliciously. She retrieved her knife and hid it wherever she hid it in her clothes. She then straightened out the crumpled parts of her clothes and obediently sat on the ground.

The snake egg was in her hand and she lightly hummed. Her fingers were caressing the egg as if she just find the most precious treasure in the world.

For the whole six minutes, everyone was silent. The atmosphere seemed to be suppressing everyone. All challengers waited for the Alpha Snake Beast to say something but he never paid attention to them.

[00:00:00]

The ten minutes is up. Suddenly, the purple Snake Egg disappeared and the middle aged woman was dumbfounded.

"Wha - Where's the egg?! My precious egg!!!"

"Rewards has time limit. In this case, the snake egg will only be available for ten minutes. I believe you are already well informed in this regard?"

Seeing the dumbfounded expression of the crazed middle aged woman the Alpha Beast Snake snickered. "What? Did those lousers who call themselves 'Hunters' did not tell you anything? Every benefit spoonfed to you does not come for free human. Remember that. Soon those idiots will ask more than your life could repay for in exchange for their favors today."

This group of people started as twenty. On the way, one woman died after he was eaten by the Alpha Beast Snake. A young man died because he attacked the Alpha. And there are eighteen of them left.

Now that another two deaths occurred, there are only sixteen of them left. Some of the people's faces visibly paled when they heard the Alpha Beast Snake. Their horrified expression were quickly suppressed and they refused to look at the Alpha Beast Snake into the eye.

Obviously, these people caught the eye of those 'Hunters' and are trying to get by the games through their support. Unfortunately for them, the thigh they decided to hug is not sturdy enough to pull them out of the mud waters. (A/N: 'The thigh they decided to hug' means people who are weak in strength will rely and cling to those who are strong.)

It was soon the turn of the fourteenth person.

The question thrown at him was no different than the rest. He was able to answer it without any hesitation. Unfortunately for him, the number given by the orb is number six. He directly cried because of fear on the spot.

The young boy's low sob is barely audible. His frail shoulders keep trembling. It was obvious he was barely standing on his own two feet. He hesitated for a long time. The Alpha Beast Snake cast him a warning look before he moved forward towards the square where the crazy middle aged woman is.

The crazed woman may have been feeling at a loss. Because she did not react to him approaching nor does she took notice of him. She just squated at the ground with a dazed expression.

The young boy immediately scooted to the farthest corner, as far from the crazed middle aged woman as possible.

The next person is Pete. Another random question was thrown and he received the number 'two'. He glanced at the three challengers gathered. He kept his vigilance, and dare not to cast another glance at Cayden who was watching behind him.

These people are despicable!

If they can really kill people as easy as that, then there's no telling when they would point their knife to him and Cayden. His bestfriend is too frail to protect himself!

For now, its better not to make it obvious he was worried about his bestfriend. He will find the strengths of these people and also weaknesses.

Since there are things like rewards in these squares, he will make use of that!

Pete resolutely stood in the side.

When it was Cayden's turn, the question of "You, your brother and mother are drowning in the sea. You three are inside the boat. And it could only carry two person before it will be filled with sea water. Which one will you leave behind in the sea in order for the others to survive?"

In a heartbeat Cayden answered. "Myself."

The Alpha Beast Snake's frown deepened. The first time, he ignored this human's selfless ridiculous answer. Now, wanting to sacrifice himself just to save both important person in his life again?

Ha!

Who is this idiot trying to fool?
