CHAPTER 341: CHAPTER 341: NON-CHIEF

"How did you dodge my knife just now? You’d better speak up quickly so I can send you on your way sooner," Ji You asked. She wanted to understand the reason, but if the other party wasn’t willing to say, Ji You would not force it, as she knew such life-saving techniques weren’t easily revealed by "weak chicken."

So—

Ji You seemed arrogant and conceited, not taking "weak chicken" seriously, but secretly she was alert. The moment "weak chicken" made a move, she quickly raised her hand to tighten her grip...

"weak chicken" felt a tightening around his neck and screamed in fright, "Ahhh... I don’t want to die..."

Ji You: "..."

At that moment, "weak chicken" suddenly twisted his neck, slipping out like a slippery loach, and burst through Ji You’s palm. Ji You’s pupils shrank, ready to draw her knife and strike...

Just then, a fierce gust of wind struck. As Ji You dodged to the side, she realized it was a powerful arrow. She raised her hand to block the arrow with the back of the knife.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Hidden enemies, seeing that one arrow had failed, shot three more arrows directly at her! The attack was so fierce that Ji You had to temporarily give up chasing "weak chicken" to deal with the immediate crisis.

"weak chicken" had slipped away as soon as he broke free from Ji You’s grasp.

He had no other skills, but his skill in escaping was top-notch. Despite an arrow flying straight towards him, he swerved a few times and got away, quickly disappearing from sight.

Ji You took a moment to look, and damn, he was already out of sight.

After dodging the arrows, Ji You used the momentum to jump into a bush. She was still wearing a straw coat, and diving in made her blend in like a fish in the sea, temporarily making the hidden enemy lose their target.

Ji You calmed herself. This matched her guess; the hidden person must be at a certain distance, so once she hid in the bushes, they could no longer pinpoint her position.

However, this was only temporary.

Being ambushed from behind was indeed unpleasant. Ji You lurked for a while and the distant arrows stopped, probably because both sides were still probing...

Ji You guessed that the hidden archer was probably alone.

So, there was an opportunity to exploit.

Just then, Ji You heard an almost inaudible noise:

Swoosh~

Swoosh~

Swoosh~

It was the sound of tree branches moving slightly.

She concentrated, listening intently, and sensed the source of the sound was about 50 meters behind her in the forest. This meant the person was using the branches as cover, looking for her hiding spot. The slight noise was because they were probably up in a tree, and moving their body caused the branches to sway slightly...

This tree couldn’t be in the center of the woods; it must be near the edge.

Which one could it be?

Ji You narrowed her eyes. The more tense and urgent the situation, the more patient she became.

This one?

No.

This one?

Also no.

The third tree from the left!

Right there!

About 55 meters away from her position.

Ji You quietly picked up a stone, squinted slightly, and didn’t act immediately. Instead, she measured the distance and then leapt into action; in that instant, the person in the tree also moved, quickly drawing their bow.

Swoosh—

Whoosh——

The moment Ji You threw the stone, she fiercely dropped to the ground.

An arrow barely missed her earlobe, and at the same moment, Ji You heard a loud ’boom’.

Thump——

She jumped up and within a few bounds, she darted under a tree, to her surprise, the man who fell from the tree below didn’t expect Ji You to arrive so swiftly. He had just gotten up from the ground, trying to draw his bow and arrow—

Facing him, a White Light flashed, and with a click—

This strike, with immense force, instantly split the man’s hand clutching the bow and arrow. He hurriedly discarded the bow and arrow and went on the attack, but the woman’s Big Chopper was already slashing straight towards his head.

Click——

The man’s eyes widened: "!!!"

In less than 5 seconds.

The battle was over.

Taking down one opponent, in this primitive map, without Ji You, without various equipment, Ji You felt the helplessness of only being able to use cold weapons. If only she could have one more firearm, she could have swept across effortlessly, not needing to engage in close combat with someone every time.

She picked up the bow and arrow from the ground, finding only three arrows left, but better than none. Ji You still slung the bow and arrow on her back. She didn’t dare to delay here any longer and hurriedly made her way to the range indicated by the system alert.

Currently—

The map began its scan. If she did not reach the safety range within the designated time, she would be directly eliminated.

The rules of this competition were a bit like the PUBG game Ji You played in her previous life, generally similar but also with differences. The PUBG game has many system alerts, but this arena has none, only death count alerts and periodic safe zone alerts. Besides that, there was nothing else; competitors had to navigate on their own.

Perhaps because her early bad luck was enough, when Ji You headed to the safety zone, she unexpectedly made it without any danger. Along the way, she even found a small pistol on a corpse, though it only had 3 bullets, but this was a big surprise for Ji You.

Soon, Ji You silently crept into the safe zone, with no cover around, she couldn’t stay long and quickly dove into a house. The house covered about a thousand square meters, three stories in total, but was already very dilapidated. Ji You quietly approached, knowing it was an abandoned small workshop-like factory.

She nearly landed silently, Ji You searched room by room, only finding a few unwanted Daggers, all other bags and boxes had been opened and emptied.

"This place has been searched by others."

"Maybe there’s even someone hiding here."

Realizing this, Ji You became even more vigilant, not daring to search heavily, just moving bit by bit.

Suddenly—

A violent sound of crashing wood.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Ji You’s pupils shrank; this fierce fight was in another room just a few meters away from her, and by the look of their fighting style, it could soon spill over to where she was hiding.

Listening to the chaotic footsteps, Ji You preliminarily judged that there were at least 7 or 8 people.

Fight head-on?

Or retreat?

This competition did not require contestants to eliminate many people; the only win condition was to survive until the end.

—to be among the last 10 standing to advance.

However, this seemingly simple condition was also forcing contestants to eliminate as many opponents as possible. Otherwise, even if only 11 were left at the last moment, one still had to be eliminated.

Because she was utterly non-chief at the beginning, failing to pick up any weapons or gear, Ji You’s initial strategy was just to survive until the end, so she did not force herself to kill several people.
