Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 389: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Ran would definitely have been the first to be wounded and fall to the ground.But the Danger Warning System had been functioning all along:

[Ding! Detected host's body has sustained fist injuries, consuming 100 points for treatment!]

[Ding! Detected host's body...]

It continuously consumed points for healing.

While Jiang Ran's superficial injuries looked extremely severe and completely unchanged,

his internal injuries were actually all healed.

Inside the "I Want to Be the Treasure King" live stream room.

Watching Jiang Ran, whose performance was like two completely different people before and after,

the live stream room fell into a deathly silence.

It was unclear whether they were utterly captivated by the blindingly fast, bone-crunching, flesh-pounding punches exchanged between Jiang Ran and Wilderness Brother,

or simply too shocked to speak.

In any case, it was silent until Bomb King typed a message:

[This Jiang Ran... is he playing the pig to eat the tiger?]

Regarding what Middle-aged Uncle and others had said earlier about Jiang Ran turning up the intensity on them,

Bomb King, having watched this far, tentatively believed it.

After all, since Wilderness Brother started participating in this game, he had encountered many people, but few could match him in close-quarters combat.

But he was very confused. Jiang Ran's previous performance was that of an ordinary person.

Why now, even through the screen, did Bomb King feel this was like watching a completely different person?

Middle-aged Uncle: [Didn't you hear what Jiang Ran said to Wilderness Brother earlier? 'You want to kill me? You'll regret it.']

[Although Jiang Ran's main self is an ordinary person, he's a patient with dissociative identity disorder. He has quite a few abnormal personalities inside him, you get it?]

Bomb King fell silent without a word.

Instead, Grenade King typed a message: [You can play it like that? Switch people when in danger?]

[Huh? Wait, that's still not right!]

Fairy Sister asked: [What's not right?]

Grenade King: [Jiang Ran was first ambushed from behind by that guy named Zhong Hui, took a heavy hammering. Lost so much blood.]

[Then, not even counting that flying hammer and that kick from Wilderness Brother, Wilderness Brother also smashed Jiang Ran's head with a hammer once. That hammer from Wilderness Brother was no joke;someone with poor physique would have been killed outright.]

[Alright, let's say this Jiang Ran has a good physique!]

[But! After having his head smashed twice, a bloody mess, how can he still trade punches with Wilderness Brother for so long?!]

Fairy Sister: [If you had watched the 'Far Neighbor' live stream, you'd understand. Jiang Ran is an unkillable cockroach. Unless you cut his head off, I think no matter how severely injured, he can survive.]

Bomb King: [Ridiculous, but it ends here, right? I think Jiang Ran is nearing his limit too?]

[It's time for Wilderness Brother to finish him and sing Jiang Ran's requiem!]

...

Mountaintop, by the campsite.

Jiang Ran and Wilderness Brother started with fist-to-flesh combat, then later began using legs and feet.

Mobilizing their entire bodies.

Then, both sides even resorted to eye-gouging and groin-kicking.

It was also because of this that by now, Jiang Ran was a man of blood.

Although the Wilderness Brother opposite him was in much better shape, his heart, once as firm as a rock, had begun to waver.

He was scared.

According to his calculations, Jiang Ran should have been too severely injured by now, unable to hold on, and collapsed.

But why did this guy seem to get more spirited the longer they fought?

He felt like some kind of undead being?

Wilderness Brother grew more and more alarmed the longer they fought.

His fist smashed fiercely into Jiang Ran's right chest. This punch was powerful and heavy;he heard the sound of bones cracking and breaking—it should have been Jiang Ran's ribs fracturing.

Yet Jiang Ran seemed completely oblivious to the pain, his right leg whipping out like a lash in retaliation.

After blocking this strike with his arm,

Wilderness Brother made a decision that would betray his ancestors—run.

He felt that even though he currently held the advantage, if they kept fighting like this, he was afraid he might truly capsize in a minor ditch and fall here.

Of course, what he feared more was the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

The killing intent here wasn't limited to just the one in front of him.

Therefore, at this moment, during the opening created when his opponent's punch missed,

Wilderness Brother crouched on the ground, grabbed a handful of dirt with force, and threw the dust forward.

He then immediately turned and fled.

Not even caring about the dust's eye-blinding effect.

Wilderness Brother rarely ran away, so this escape would be etched in his memory.

Especially because the words Jiang Ran had said earlier suddenly surfaced in his mind—wanting to kill him would make him regret it, and such.

He didn't exactly feel regret.

He only felt that something was off, and eerie.

Really, before and after, it was like they weren't the same person.

Wilderness Brother was a prophet.

He had just prophesied that the killing intent wasn't limited to just the one in front, referring to Jiang Ran.

And after he turned and ran a few steps,

the killing intent came again.

From the darkness on his left, a sharp arrow suddenly flew out.

Wilderness Brother, quick-eyed and swift-handed, rolled to dodge it.

However, from that direction, after the first arrow, there were two more.

Two arrows. One struck his right upper arm.

The other grazed past his cheek, leaving only a bloody scratch on it.

"Someone else?!"

Despite being ambushed, Wilderness Brother still didn't stop running. Dragging his injured body, he vanished into the darkness.

While Wilderness Brother was fleeing, Jiang Ran stood in place, not giving chase.

After Wilderness Brother was hit by the arrow and escaped, Jiang Ran still stood where he was.

At this moment, two arrows shot out from the darkness.

The direction was the same as the one that had shot at Wilderness Brother earlier.

These two arrows directly struck Jiang Ran's stomach, the arrows remaining embedded.

Jiang Ran didn't seem to dodge either.

And after being hit by the arrows, he spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, adding some injuries to his already battered body, then fell to the ground and didn't get up.

As if dead.

After Jiang Ran fell, this area illuminated by the outdoor camping light seemed to sink into absolute dead silence.

A full five minutes passed.

A woman holding a small black repeating crossbow and carrying a backpack slowly and cautiously emerged from the darkness.

This woman was none other than Liu Sha, whom Wang Haoran had been fawning over all day.

Before approaching the fallen Jiang Ran, Liu Sha aimed at Jiang Ran's body and shot three more arrows.

The three arrows struck Jiang Ran's two thighs and his left chest respectively.

This was a finishing blow.

When she was still over a meter away from Jiang Ran, she began reloading the crossbow bolts.

And she muttered under her breath, "What a pity, couldn't kill Wilderness Brother. Lost 500,000 yuan."

So it turned out, after Liu Sha discovered the quarrel breaking out at Jiang Ran's group's campsite, and that it was even a murder incident,

she was also frightened.

Although she had gotten blood on her hands since starting this game, she never imagined an ordinary university classmates' mountain climbing gathering could result in death.

Therefore, her first reaction was to quietly run away—of course, she hid near the campsite, taking out the small repeating crossbow she had long prepared and kept in her backpack.

She wouldn't forget that every single person before her was worth a small treasure, 100,000 yuan.

Actually, if Jiang Ran's group hadn't erupted into a murder incident,

Liu Sha really hadn't planned to make a move against them.

After all, there were too many of them.

Besides, she could also use Wang Haoran, that lecherous man, to help her search for treasures.

But since this kind of thing had happened, then she couldn't be blamed for harvesting these heads.

That was also why, when Jiang Ran, Zhong Hui, and others went to bury the body,

she had originally planned to use the repeating crossbow to harvest the three women left guarding the campsite.

She never expected that Wilderness Brother was also lurking around the campsite!

And, he had even struck first!
