Such a massive skull, such vivid striping. Across the entirety of Pandora, only one creature dared to evolve into this form, That was the sovereign of the skies, the Banshee Overlord Wyvern!

And for the Na'vi scattered across the whole planet of Pandora, this creature was the equivalent of the Dragon Slaying in Legend for players in 2002, the Soul Devourer, the Thunderfury from the 60s of WoW, or the Warglaives of Azzinoth from the 70s! The Na'vi rumored to have ever ridden one numbered only five in their entire history—directly referred to as the Banshee Knights—who, in terms of personal might or charisma, were practically the leaders of the entire Na'vi race!

But why would the massive skull of such a significant beast be trampled right at the entrance of the Hometree? Fang Senyan couldn't discern any specific meaning, yet he noticed the undisguised ecstasy flashing across Yu Ze and Li Er.

Given that these two could casually produce so much intelligence, it was clear they had visited this marvelous world before and thus knew the significance of this finding without question. "But, so what?" A cold smirk flickered across Fang Senyan's lips.

Of course, he quickly erased the expression from his face and looked up with genuine sincerity toward Yu Ze and Li Er: "We need to leave. Trust comes first.

Since we signed a contract with you two, we must ensure you complete the Headhunter milestone first." "If we drag this out until nightfall, the Na'vi's night vision and combat abilities will be maximized, making things much trickier and exponentially increasing the difficulty of the hunt." Just then, Yu Ze, who had always maintained a low profile, suddenly looked up. Though his eyes were clearly fixed on Fang Senyan, it gave everyone the illusion that he was looking at them all.

In an instant, his gaze, his pupils, his eyelashes, and his faint eyebrows seemed to blur, as if his features had been painted with ink, rippling and threatening to dissolve completely in clear water. The only thing distinct was the Nightmare Sigil on his chest, which suddenly flared with a blinding blood-red light!

"Blame it on the fact that this showed up here. When it comes to the pinnacle of the Na'vi..." Yu Ze's voice suddenly turned ethereal, carrying an indescribable arrogance and madness: "Then I will let you see...

my ultimate power..." The immense strength born from a spiritual breakthrough beyond the limit!!" As the final syllable of "limit" left his mouth, everyone present was plunged into a vast expanse of blinding white light! It felt as though they had been suddenly exposed to harsh sunlight after being in darkness!

When their vision cleared, Fang Senyan was astonished to find that the ground before him was still the ground, the forest remained the forest, the Hometree stood as the Hometree, the reef was still the reef, and he was still himself. Only two things had changed.

Yu Ze had vanished, and Li Er had multiplied! Standing before every single person was a Li Er!!

A Li Er sharp and imposing, as keen as a blade! "Why...

did my senses give no warning?" "That is because what Yu Ze did posed no direct threat to my life! He appears to have done only two things: hidden himself, or perhaps himself plus Li Er, and then created four or five illusions." "Truly...

very interesting." A cold smile played on Fang Senyan's lips. At that moment, five Yu Zes moved simultaneously!

It was a completely ordinary thrust! This was the world of the Free Slaughter, entirely without warning, without any preliminary notice.

But precisely because there was no warning, Fang Senyan remained still, placing complete faith in his perception. "As expected, it’s fake," Fang Senyan sneered.

However, not everyone in the team possessed senses as incredibly powerful as his! Mark Ghee, seated inside the aMP Exoskeleton System armor, had his pupils contract sharply.

Although this acquired powerful machinery could not physically harm humans, its defensive capability was beyond doubt. Because of this, when Mark Ghee saw Li Er leap upward in a soaring motion, draw his dagger, and thrust, his state of mind remained calm.

He firmly believed he could not be the primary target; in any case, Mogansha and the sniper Jin Ximin looked far easier to kill. Unless....

how could that be! The thought had barely crossed Mark Ghee's mind when he saw Li Er's dagger thrusting directly toward him!

The point he aimed for was viciously chosen: the bulletproof glass of the aMP Exoskeleton System cockpit! Precisely the spot that had been fractured into a spiderweb pattern by four previous Na'vi arrows!

With a sharp clang, the cracks grew denser, and Mark Ghee immediately yelled out: "This one is real! Save me!" Reef didn't hesitate, activating "Boldness" and charging straight over, simultaneously following up with a "Heart-Rending Scream." However, as the rolling sonic shockwave passed, the figure of Li Er shockingly twisted and vanished into the air.

It was an illusion! But how could that dagger have cracked the bulletproof glass so precariously?

In that instant, both Fang Senyan and Mark Ghee recalled the handgun Yu Ze held, which looked immensely powerful just by its appearance. Since Yu Ze himself could conjure five copies, concealing a single, not-so-difficult aiming and firing sequence to perfectly mimic a fierce stab from a dual-dagger fighter would be almost effortless.

Some things seem obvious once they are explained, but before that revelation, they can often cause immense mental strain. With events having developed to this stage, it meant Reef had to choose between rescuing Mogansha and the sniper Jin Ximin.

The reason Fang Senyan was excluded from this multiple-choice question was because Reef deeply understood: Fang Senyan probably wished Li Er would target him voluntarily! Thus, Reef charged directly toward Mogansha—one a temporary team member, one a formal member; one who had faced death with him, and one who only fired his gun from afar.

Therefore, Reef's choice was unsurprising. As for the sniper Jin Ximin, light instantly shimmered around him; utilizing his leap ability, he decisively increased the distance between himself and the enemy, firing several shots in quick succession—pa-pa-pa—blasting the Li Er in front of him into a sieve...

So, the Li Er facing Jin Ximin was also an illusion. The Li Er facing Fang Senyan was an illusion, the Li Er facing Reef was an illusion, the Li Er facing Jin Ximin was an illusion, and the Li Er attacking the aMP Exoskeleton was also an illusion...

Did Reef truly gamble correctly? No!

The highly tense Mogansha twisted and blocked with his Spartan Silver Broken Spear; the incoming blade lightably grazed past and dissolved into nothingness... still a damn illusion.

Could it be that all five Li Ers attacking the contractors were illusions?!! Then where was the real one?

Where was the truth? The answer was revealed in the next second...

it was a tree. An ordinary tree, growing right beside the aMP Exoskeleton System armor.

Li Er flashed out from behind this tree. The daggers in both his hands gleamed menacingly, and he stabbed the bulletproof glass again.

With a deafening CRASH, the bulletproof glass instantly shattered into millions of tiny square transparent particles, scattering like rain, falling all over the ground with soft ding-clatter sounds. Mark Ghee's face contorted into a savage grimace, his eyes turning venomous; the good-natured, even boastful biologist vanished in an instant!

Replaced by an utterly frenzied individual, he roared out, his eyes bloodshot: "Why must you force me! Why must you kill me first!" "That is because everyone here must die!

Only when you are dead can we exclusively enjoy this massive secret, this massive profit! If we must kill, naturally we eliminate the greatest threat first!" Yu Ze's voice drifted ethereally from all directions, like an echo through the jungle: "Mark Ghee, or should I call you Mr.

Halin?"... Though you've taken on this disgusting name now, I know perfectly well that you betrayed the Banks Syndicate and fled with a large sum of wealth.

That's because we are the spies Zeus sent to the Banks team! You should actually be grateful; if our Glorious Team's Zeus hadn't made a move to resurrect the Metal Mentor, how would the higher-ups in the Banks Syndicate have noticed you, giving you this chance?" "Actually, these kids should also thank us.

Mark Ghee joining your team might not have been with good intentions either; since defecting from the Banks Syndicate team, he has destroyed at least three teams he joined. So, just accept your fate; even if we hadn't shown up, you would have been ruined by him anyway." Before Yu Ze's lingering voice had completely faded in the woods, Li Er seized the perfect opportunity, executing a sharp forward flip in mid-air.

Light flickered across the daggers held in his hands, and his entire body formed an inverted 'C' shape due to the excessive exertion, his hands, held high behind his back, almost touching his curved feet. In this agile posture, he paused for several seconds, then a flash of light occurred, and he slashed down from above!

The force of this slash was terrifyingly vicious; due to the incredible speed, the air vibrated with an intense wail, followed by continuous squeaking metal sounds. That aMP Exoskeleton System armor was cleaved straight down the middle, from head to foot, by this terrifying strike!!!

Along with it, one of Mark Ghee's arms, which was gripping the control stick, was violently severed and sent flying, spurting blood everywhere.
