Chapter 2581

The sky was almost blocked by the marks of the Ф, and Su Xiao did not intend to attack the beehive now. To move against this hive, he would have to wait at least a few days until the number of contractors in the Wild Forest dropped below 50 before he would consider doing so.

【Hint: The first batch of supplies will be dropped in 30 minutes. Location: 47 kilometers to the east.】

Su Xiao sat up from inside the tree hole. The first batch of supplies was coming. With 5 to 7 supply crates each time, he had to snatch at least one.

He would prioritize the white supply crates containing Tier 8 recovery items, Tier 8 tools, and one-time scrolls. The reason was that Tier 8 tools or one-time scrolls could have extremely powerful effects, even influencing the outcome of a battle.

As for the green supply crates, while Soul Crystals, Holy Spirit-grade equipment, and gems were certainly precious, these items had a low probability of directly boosting combat power.

Running through the bushes, Su Xiao glanced at the pointer in his hand. After confirming the direction was correct, he increased his speed again.

More than twenty minutes later, Su Xiao left the Tiger Bee zone and arrived at the edge of the water source zone. The trees here were much sparser, and a lake appeared ahead.

Beside the lake was a large stretch of wasteland. Because it was frequently trampled by large animals, the grass on this open ground was not tall, and the view was very wide.

A dozen figures appeared from the diagonal opposite side. These dozen people all stopped at the shore. Their attire was quite similar, and on their faces, necks, or the backs of their hands, they all had messy black barcodes. These were contractors from Death Paradise, and their gazes all turned toward Su Xiao.

"Don't attack. This blood aura—it's a contractor from Reincarnation Paradise."

"High probability."

"What if he also tries to snatch the white crate?"

"Kill him."

The dozen Death Paradise contractors whispered to each other. Just then, a whistling sound came from above.

Boom!

Like a heavy tank landing, a man over three meters tall, wearing kinetic armor, smashed into the ground. The kinetic armor on his body was iron-black and had biological characteristics.

The tank-man stood up from the ground and drew a broad saber as wide as a palm; this saber was at least 1.5 meters long. He held the saber in his right hand, and on his left forearm was a living heavy cannon. Both weapons had conduits connected to his arms.

Zzz—

Threads stretched, and metal wires outlined shapes in mid-air. A barefoot woman stood on the metal wires with her toes, and two sharp arm blades popped out from her sleeves.

"What a full house. The Gourmet and Bai Ye from Reincarnation, the living tank from Apocalypse, the Shepherd from Holy Light, and Gaske from Death. It's a battle of gods."

A little boy wearing a duckbill cap walked out from the dense forest. There were also a dozen figures hiding in the forest who had not revealed themselves.

On the open ground by the lake, Su Xiao looked around at the few people in the distance. He didn't need to consider the Gourmet nearby; he and the other party would not be hostile for the time being.

The tank-man from Apocalypse Paradise was very troublesome; his strength was similar to the Gourmet's. As for the female contractor standing on the metal wires, Shepherd, her strength was similar to the tank-man and the Gourmet, though her aura was slightly weaker.

And Gaske from Death Paradise—the other party should be hiding in the lake. That aura no longer had anything to do with humans.

No one took the initiative to attack because the supply crates hadn't been dropped yet. The moment the supply crates appeared would be the time to start the battle.

"Big shot from Reincarnation, I have no malice. As a survivor, I don't have the qualifications to have malice either."

The little boy in the duckbill cap walked toward Su Xiao, holding his hands up with a serious expression.

"Just call me Detective, or Little Detective. Compared to killing me to increase your kill count, the information I provide is more useful."

Clang.

Su Xiao drew the Checking Zhan Long Shan from his waist. The Little Detective's face stiffened; he felt he had bet wrong and would have to enter escape mode next.

"As long as it's a contractor I've seen, I can identify their identity, their Paradise, and their ability tendencies more than 70% of the time. Also, I know this Wild Forest quite well."

The Little Detective stopped more than ten meters away, keeping his hands raised the whole time.

"..."

"I only accept Soul Coins. Information is a necessary component of victory. This is my communicator. Please don't try to capture me alive; that would waste a lot of your time. The pain would make me collapse, and then I'd be an idiot. An idiot me has no value."

The Little Detective placed a communicator on the ground, stepped back slowly, and disappeared into the dense forest after a short while.

"Everyone, the supplies are here!"

A loud shout came from above. Spatial fluctuations appeared, and the sound of air explosions rang out, piercing ripples within the spatial waves.

Boom, boom, boom...

Five metal pillars nearly three meters long nailed into the ground, distributed across the open space by the lake. Each metal pillar was nearly a meter thick.

With a hiss, steam sprayed out from the metal. The five scattered metal pillars all opened, revealing the supply crates inside: 2 supply crates were glowing white, and 3 were dark green.

A wave of air dissipated. The tank-man broke through an air explosion and headed straight for a white supply crate.

"Left for me, right for you."

The Gourmet nearby spoke, meaning the white supply crate on the left belonged to him and the one on the right to Su Xiao, to avoid internal fighting.

With a splash, a large amount of lake water sprayed up. A gray-white afterimage rushed toward the white supply crate on the left, and along with him was Shepherd from Holy Light Paradise.

In just an instant, the tank-man rushed to the front of the white supply crate on the right. He slammed on the brakes, sending mud and grass flying.

"Get lost!"

The tank-man roared, and white light surged on the biological cannon on his left arm.

Thud~

An impact spread out. Baha, who had arrived near the white supply crate using spatial abilities, was shaken back. A large hand wrapped in armor grabbed the supply crate, seemingly wanting to store it directly into his storage space, but failed. The tank-man succeeded and snatched a white supply crate.

Clang.

A blade light slashed over. The tank-man raised the broad saber in his right hand to block.

With a clatter, the two blades clashed. The biological armor on the tank-man's body surged, and his strength instantly skyrocketed by a notch.

An impact spread out. Su Xiao felt a massive force coming from the blade, but he immediately stabilized his posture, shifted his center of gravity downward, successfully parried perfectly, and the force rebound began.

Bang.

Su Xiao knocked the tank-man back. In terms of strength attributes, the other party was higher than him.

The tank-man took a big step back, disbelief in his eyes, but his movements were not slow at all. The biological cannon on his left forearm was already aimed at Su Xiao.

With a boom, a ball of miserable green energy blasted past Su Xiao. After hitting a tree in the distance, the trunk was immediately eroded into slag, and a large row of dozens-of-meters-high trees slowly collapsed.

At this time, Su Xiao had already leaped sideways. The moment he landed, a broad saber slashed over.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew. In the wild slashing, the tank-man was surprised to find that even though his strength was greater, he just couldn't slash the enemy back.

With a sizzle, the Checking Zhan Long Shan in Su Xiao's hand flicked, and while bringing up a flash of the blade, it deflected the broad saber in the tank-man's hand, causing the tank-man's center of gravity to be unstable for a moment. In the tank-man's past battles, this was a minor problem.

Bang!!

Su Xiao delivered a straight kick with a speed so fast it left an afterimage, kicking the tank-man in the lower abdomen. The tank-man immediately knelt on one knee, vomiting blood from his mouth. Large cracks appeared on the biological armor of his abdomen, and his internal organs felt as if they were about to shatter.

With a swish, the long saber pierced through the tank-man's skull. Su Xiao flipped his body, directly threw the tank-man away, and snatched the supply crate from the other party's left hand.

After being thrown away, the tank-man rolled on the ground several times before stopping, but he shook his head and stood up from the ground, his survival ability extremely tenacious.

"Damn! A technique-type. How the hell am I supposed to fight this?"

The tank-man didn't even look at Su Xiao anymore and strode toward a green supply crate in the distance. He had no masochistic tendencies, so he didn't want to continue fighting Su Xiao. The tank-man knew that under similar strength conditions, because of his relatively clumsy fighting style, a technique-type was his worst nightmare; he simply couldn't fight them.
