Jamie Smith, like a streak of flowing light, landed on a desolate wilderness.
"Hm?" Jamie Smith looked ahead, where a vast expanse of wilderness was home to a massive army of exotic creatures in the distance.
"Uh-oh?" Jamie Smith's gaze focused on the horizon, where a formidable host of exotic troops was advancing.
"Jamie Smith," a voice echoed in his ear, "in the preliminaries, your weapons and equipment are unlimited, but your physical exhaustion and injuries won't be recoverable by the system until the preliminaries end. Please allocate your stamina wisely." A countdown loomed, after which the beastman army ahead would launch an attack! Their task was to completely annihilate this beastman army.
"The beastman army consists of a thousand soldiers. The number of soldiers killed by all participating teams will be publicly synchronized!"
"Annihilating all beastman soldiers is considered the defeat of the beastman army."
"Remember, only the top thirty fastest teams will advance to the main competition."
Jamie Smith immediately began to prepare his weapons and equipment.
"Dealing with an entire army?" Emily Johnson remarked, "Fortunately, the weapons and equipment are unlimited, otherwise, we couldn't carry that many arrows."
"Pay attention to the reasonable distribution of physical strength," Jamie Smith said, "Everyone must wear armor, not leather, I can see... there are quite a few cavalry in the beastman army carrying bows and arrows."
"Yes, cavalry archers," Quincy Shawn nodded solemnly, "And there are heavy cavalry, what are those generals riding? Such massive mounts!"
While selecting their equipment and weapons, Jamie Smith and his team carefully observed the beastman army in the distance.
The beastmen had brown skin and grotesque faces; the majority were infantry! There were also snow wolf light cavalry with bows and arrows, and even more terrifying heavy cavalry, along with a few generals faintly visible, each riding enormous land dragons.
At this moment, the beastman army was also observing the humans, with the generals already giving orders to their subordinates.
...
In the official live broadcast room of the Summer Country, the number of viewers had already broken through one billion! It could be said that at this late night, the vast majority of the people in the Summer Country were watching the official live broadcast.
"821 divine teams," the host Shine Lewis said, "Each divine team must eliminate a beastman army, and only the top 30 fastest teams can enter the main competition. They will have the opportunity to compete against the teams led by Teacher Ray Willow and Teacher Ray Cloud."
"This preliminary competition mechanism is quite interesting," Ray Willow nodded in evaluation, "The number of soldiers killed by all participating teams is synchronized and public. It means that every team can know the number of soldiers killed by other teams. Even teams that hide their strength... must ensure they are in the top 30!"
"Teams outside the top thirty will need to take more risks and fight harder. Otherwise, even if they eliminate the beastman army, they will still be eliminated if they are outside the top thirty," Ray Cloud nodded, "And it seems that this beastman army is not easy to provoke."
"You can tell the two teachers," Shine Lewis looked at the information in his hand and said with a smile, "The difficulty of the beastman army is designed so that the vast majority of divine teams will be wiped out, with a pass rate controlled at about 10%."
"One in ten?" Ray Willow and Ray Cloud both nodded slightly.
"If you take risks to pursue speed, the pass rate may drop further," Shine Lewis said, "Of course, there will still be thirty teams that pass! Please believe in the calculation ability of the virtual world system."
"Well, the attack of the beastman army officially begins!" Shine Lewis looked at the live broadcast scene behind him.
*******
On the wilderness, there was no cover.
On one side was Jamie Smith, and on the other side was the beastman army.

"The beastman army attack countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6... 3, 2, 1!"
At the moment when the countdown ended, a general of the beastman army pointed his sword towards Jamie Smith's side from a distance and issued a command in the beastman language.
Immediately, the beastman infantry began to rush over, and at the same time, the snow wolf light cavalry also took action. These light cavalry split into two, moving in two directions to the left and right of Jamie Smith.
"Whoosh!" The snow wolf light cavalry on both sides raised their bows and shot arrows at the same time.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
Arrows rained down like rain!!
Jamie Smith experienced the taste of "arrows raining down" at the same time, with three hundred arrows falling at the same time. Jamie Smith and his team were also moving, unwilling to become a target. Dozens of arrows also fell in their area.
"Raise the shield." Jamie Smith, Chase Ron, Finn Brown, and Quincy Shawn all raised their shields, completely covering the top and protecting the entire team.
There was a sound of crackling, and there were also arrows hitting the leg armor, making a ringing sound.
"Fortunately, they are all ordinary bows and arrows. If they were armor-piercing arrows shot by divine archers, we would be in trouble," Quincy Shawn said.
"Three hundred cavalry archers, if everyone is comparable to divine archers, maybe only the captain can resist one or two, and we would all be finished," Finn Brown said.
"When the infantry comes in front of us later, Emily Johnson, it's up to you," Jamie Smith said.
"Don't worry," Emily Johnson nodded.
After three waves of bow and arrow suppression, the beastman infantry finally arrived in front, and the arrows from a distance also stopped, otherwise, shooting arrows would affect those infantry.
"Here they come." Jamie Smith and Chase Ron both held two shields, responsible for protecting the team, mainly protecting the divine archer Emily Johnson! There were too many beastman soldiers, and they both used shields at the same time, which was more appropriate.
Finn Brown held a spear, and Quincy Shawn held a silver spear, both responsible for killing some beastman soldiers who rushed closer.
"Roar~"
These beastman soldiers roared and rushed to the front, and at the same time, more than ten beastman soldiers attacked at the same time.
Most of them were stabbing spears! At the same time, there were chains thrown out, and flying axes were smashed out, all falling towards Jamie Smith and his team.
"Boom, boom~~" Jamie Smith's left and right shields blocked and shook, and the beastmen on the left were staggering back, and there were also beastmen falling on the right. Chase Ron's two shields were bigger, and they also blocked a group of beastman soldiers.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Emily Johnson started rapid shooting with a bow, and the bow was only half drawn and shot out, and each time it was three arrows shot at the same time!
Three arrows at the same time! In the blink of an eye, it was nine arrows!
The most terrible thing is that each arrow is shot into the head of the beastman soldier.
Emily Johnson's face was expressionless, and every time she took an arrow and shot it, she had a rhythm. There was only a slight pause when the arrow bag was empty, and she took out another arrow bag from the virtual world system, and other times she was mercilessly shooting arrows.
"Emily Johnson is so great," Quincy Shawn shouted.
"Emily Johnson is awesome," Finn Brown laughed, holding a spear, and Quincy Shawn held a long spear, responsible for killing some beastman soldiers who rushed closer.
While Emily Johnson was shooting arrows and slaughtering soldiers, Finn Brown and Quincy Shawn were naturally much more relaxed. Jamie Smith and Chase Ron only needed to protect their teammates.
Whoosh~~
A large number of beastman soldiers, like waves, kept impacting Jamie Smith's team, one wave after another, constantly surging up! To completely Jamie Smith's team.
Jamie Smith's team is a "reef" under the impact of huge waves, resisting the crazy attack of the beastmen.
Jamie Smith looked up.
In the high sky, the number of soldiers killed by all teams is displayed.
First: Yvonne Archer team (captain Yvonne Archer), the number of enemies killed is 205
Second: Xianze team (captain Celia Green), the number of enemies killed is 183
