Yuan Zhu and Su Nuannuan breathed a slight sigh of relief when they saw Jiang Kai successfully break through.

But at the same time, they themselves were about to face the encirclement of three opponents.

The man with black hair glanced at his watch and frowned slightly.

"That big guy has high attributes, his profession might be one of China's top professions, a Martial Apprentice!"

"Huh? A Martial Apprentice, then we've hit the jackpot. Crippling a Martial Apprentice would surely make China feel the pain. We must give this big guy a proper welcome so he never dares to log into the Calling again!" exclaimed his blond-haired companion with delight.

Their mission wasn't just to kill newcomers; destroying the psychological defenses of China's newcomers was the main goal.

Completely crippling a top profession would definitely be a loss for China!

"Then let's give him a special package!" The blond-haired man grinned wickedly.

Fear was already evident in Zhu's eyes, and he kept retreating.

The blond-haired man noticed Zhu's reaction and laughed loudly, "Such a big guy, yet he's scared like a dog, hahaha."

The man with black hair smiled slightly, "That's more like it. The death in the Calling feels exactly like real death. Who in this world isn't afraid of dying?"

At that moment, Su Nuannuan, who was entangled with another stowaway in the distance, had already been stabbed in the right leg!

After landing the hit, the opponent did not pursue. Su Nuannuan swung her Venomous Sting with all her might to force the opponent back, taking the opportunity to retreat in front of Yuan Zhu.

She stood in front of Yuan Zhu, pointing her Venomous Sting at the three opponents. Despite being injured, her gaze showed no sign of retreat!

"If you want to harm my friend, you'll have to kill me first!" Su Nuannuan shouted angrily.

Yuan Zhu was momentarily stunned.

When they first met Su Nuannuan, she dragged her exhausted body, asking to team up.

Her watch and profession revealed her affluent or noble status in reality.

However, in just two and a half days of interaction, both Yuan Zhu and Jiang Kai felt that Su Nuannuan was not as gentle as her name suggested, and she did not have the spoiled demeanor of a wealthy heiress.

On the road, she was like other Barefoot Doctors, using her medical skills to heal him and Jiang Kai, relying on her knowledge and information to strategize for the team.

As a support doctor, she could even jump down from a tree in a life-and-death moment, enduring the excruciating pain of being bitten by a human-faced beast, to help them kill two human-faced beasts.

She could fully trust Jiang Kai in times of crisis and dared to stand in front of herself!

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Some people remain mere acquaintances even after a lifetime, while some can become confidants even after just a day!

Yuan Zhu's gaze fell on Nuannuan's wound, with blood gushing out, staining her thigh red. The anger in his heart was slowly being ignited.

"If you want to harm my friend, you'll have to kill me first!"

This sentence should not have come from Nuannuan!

"Hehehe, little girl, don't worry, we'll give you a proper welcome too! Cut off her hands first!" the man with black hair ordered.

The blond-haired man suddenly lunged, swinging the scythe in his hand, aiming to slash Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan's watch provided evaluation data.

The opponent was a level four stowaway, with Strength 10, Agility 13, Physique 13, and Mental Strength unknown.

Meanwhile, Su Nuannuan, as a Barefoot Doctor, had Strength 2, Agility 4, Physique 2, and Mental Strength 6.

In terms of attributes alone, they were not on the same level, not to mention the opponent had weapons and professional skills.

The blond-haired man's speed was too fast, and Su Nuannuan couldn't dodge in time. Just as the scythe was about to slash her, a massive figure suddenly charged out from her side.

"True Power Attack! Repel!"

The blond-haired man didn't know what happened, but with such high attributes, he was knocked seven or eight meters away by Yuan Zhu!

Su Nuannuan looked at Zhu in shock.

At this moment, Zhu's muscles were taut and bulging, like a steel war god, standing firmly in front of Nuannuan.

Zhu's attributes were lower than the opponent's, but in that instant, he unleashed astonishing combat power.

Looking at Zhu's back, in a daze, Su Nuannuan seemed to see the once timid Zhu standing proudly on the battlefield like the legendary supreme war gods of the War God Temple of China!

Su Nuannuan gently placed her hand on Zhu's waist and softly whispered, "Thank you..."

"Relax a bit, otherwise your movements will be too stiff. I believe in you, and I also believe that guy will definitely come back!"

Su Nuannuan's words brought Yuan Zhu back to his senses.

They still had hope!

The man with black hair squinted slightly and said coldly, "As expected of a Martial Apprentice, but you're just struggling in vain."

"As for your companion, Shan Tian will soon bring him back."

...

Another stowaway was pursuing Jiang Kai, who had escaped from the three.

"Damn it, how can this kid be so fast!" Shan Tian stood in place, surrounded by dense vegetation, but Jiang Kai was nowhere to be seen.

He raised his arm to check the watch data.

"Evaluate the attributes of the person just now."

[Profession unknown, Strength unassessable, Physique unassessable, Mental Strength unassessable, Agility estimated at 15]

"15?" Shan Tian's eyes widened, "What a joke, I'm level four and only 13! What a piece of junk, such a large margin of error. Looks like I'll need to buy a 'Lone Ranger' after completing this mission."

It seemed that guy had run far away, and he would surely be scolded by Jinghu when he returned.

Just as Shan Tian turned to head back, four black shadows suddenly shot from behind him.

The shadows moved extremely fast, giving Shan Tian no chance to react, and instantly hit the target.

Shan Tian felt a sharp pain in his back and was about to turn around when he suddenly realized that a wave of intense pain was spreading throughout his body from the injured spot on his back.

In just two seconds, he was convulsing all over and fell to the ground.

Only then did he see a figure dart out from the dense forest.

Jiang Kai looked at Shan Tian, who was convulsing on the ground and foaming at the mouth, and snorted coldly, "I should have used just one steel spike, what a waste."

Jiang Kai crouched down, took Shan Tian's dagger, and removed his watch. These things could still fetch some money.

When he took the watch, he happened to see the data on it.

"Agility 15? What model is this, such a large margin of error."

Shan Tian still had some consciousness left, but his whole body was convulsing and unable to move. He could only stare at Jiang Kai with his eyes.

Even the opponent said the data margin was too large. Indeed, being killed this time was the watch's fault.

Jiang Kai happened to see Shan Tian's gaze, shook his head, and said defiantly, "My Agility is 18, your watch is too poor, not even as good as mine!"

Shan Tian's eyelids slowly widened!

Agility 18?

Then, Jiang Kai pulled out the steel spike from Shan Tian's back, ready to leave. He thought for a moment, squinted slightly, and pierced Shan Tian's face with a steel spike.

"Even China is not something you can mess with? Die!"

[Kill completed, please select the amount of experience to plunder, choose between 0 to 100 points.]

In the Calling, besides dying at the hands of monsters, it's also possible to die at the hands of other players.

Killing other players not only allows you to loot some items but also plunder experience. The killer plunders as much as the killed loses double the experience.

The higher the level, the larger the plundering range.

If it's a friendly spar, the killer can choose not to plunder, but in this situation, Jiang Kai unhesitatingly chose to plunder 100 points of experience.

Just as Shan Tian was about to close his eyes, a look of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

He would lose 200 points of experience!

Pulling out the steel spike, Jiang Kai immediately ran towards the river.

Running all the way, Jiang Kai was anxious.

"Zhu, Nuannuan, hold on!"

...

Meanwhile, at the Data Research Institute of Login Gate No. 4 in the island nation.

At this moment, the staff in the research institute were all shocked by a piece of information.

An officer looked at the researcher beside him in shock, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"You, what did you say, a level four stowaway was killed!"

The officer then angrily shouted at his subordinates on the other side, "Is this the elite you selected? Level four, and still killed by a beast in the trial area?"

The researcher's expression was somewhat awkward, but he mustered the courage to say, "Sir, he wasn't killed by a beast, he was... he was killed by a Chinese trial participant."

"What! Say that again!"

"Level four stowaway Shan Tian was killed by a newcomer participating in the Chinese Newcomer Trial," the researcher had to repeat, "Uh, sorry sir, um, Shan Tian is now level three."
