Chapter 1
.，！

Such a massive head, such distinct stripes.

On the entire planet of Pandora, only one creature dared to evolve to this extent.

It was the overlord of the skies, the Toruk Makto (last shadow)!

And for the Na'vi people scattered throughout Pandora, this creature was akin to legendary players slaying dragons in 2002, the Soul Eater, the Thunderfury Blessed Blade of the Windseeker for *World of Warcraft* players in their 60s, the Warglaives of Azzinoth for those in their 70s! A Na'vi who could ride it was said to be one of only five in Na'vi history directly called a Toruk Makto (last shadow) rider, almost a leader of the entire Na'vi race in terms of personal strength and influence!

But why was the skull of such a significant creature buried and trampled at the entrance of the Hometree?

Fang Senyan didn't know the specific meaning behind it, but he noticed the undisguised joy in Yu Ze and Li Er's eyes. Judging from the amount of intelligence they could readily provide, they must have been to this magical world before, so it was no surprise they knew what it meant.

"But, so what?" A cold smile crept onto Fang Senyan's lips. Of course, he quickly erased the expression and looked up, sincerely saying to Yu Ze and Li Er, "We have to go. Reputation first. Since we signed a contract with you two, we must ensure you complete the headhunter milestone. If we delay until nightfall, the Na'vi's night vision and combat skills will be maximized, making it much more difficult and increasing the hunting difficulty."

Just then, Yu Ze, who had been very low-key, suddenly looked up. His eyes were clearly looking at Fang Senyan, but it felt like he was looking at everyone. In an instant, his eyes, pupils, eyelashes, and faint eyebrows suddenly became blurred, as if his features were painted with ink and were about to completely dissolve in clear water. The only clear thing was the nightmare imprint on his chest, which suddenly emitted a dazzling blood-red light!

"Blame it on this thing appearing here. Speaking of the Na'vi's ultimate..."

Yu Ze's voice also became ethereal, even with a hint of indescribable arrogance and madness: "Then let you see my ultimate power... a powerful force that has broken through the extreme value of spirit!!"

After the last word "power" was spoken, everyone present was plunged into a sea of white! It felt like being suddenly exposed to blinding sunlight after being in the dark! When his vision returned, Fang Senyan was surprised to find that the ground was still the ground, the forest was still the forest, the Hometree was still the Hometree, the reef was still the reef, and he was still himself. The only two things that had changed were:

Yu Ze had disappeared, and there were more Li Ers!

In front of everyone stood a Li Er!!

A Li Er whose sharpness was completely exposed, as sharp as a blade!

"Why... didn't my senses warn me?"

"Because what Yu Ze did was not a direct threat to my life! He seems to have only done two things: hide himself, or rather, hide himself and Li Er, and then create four or five illusions." "Really... very interesting."

A cold smile appeared on Fang Senyan's lips.

At that moment, five Yu Zes attacked simultaneously! It was just an ordinary stab!

This was originally a world of free killing, with no warning, no prior notice. But because there was no warning, Fang Senyan didn't move. He was very confident in his senses.

"As expected, it's fake," Fang Senyan mocked.

However, not everyone in the team had such powerful senses as him!

Mark Ji, sitting in the AMP (Amplified Mobility Platform) suit, suddenly contracted his pupils. Although this powerful machine could not attack humans, its defense was beyond doubt.

Therefore, when Mark Ji saw Yu Ze leap up in a soaring manner, draw his dagger, and stab, he was still calm. Because he always believed that he shouldn't be the first target. In any case, Mogansha and the sniper Jin Xiumin seemed much easier to kill.

Unless... that's impossible!

The thought had just flashed through Mark Ji's mind when he saw Li Er stab straight with his dagger!

He chose an extremely vicious spot, stabbing the bulletproof glass of the AMP suit's cockpit! Stabbing the spiderweb-like cracks caused by four consecutive arrows fired by the Na'vi! With a crisp clang, the cracks became denser, and Mark Ji immediately shouted, "This one is real! Save me!" Reef unhesitatingly activated "Audacity" and charged over, adding a "Heart-Rending Roar." However, after the rolling sonic waves passed, it was discovered that Li Er's figure had distorted and disappeared into the air.

It was actually an illusion! But how could that dagger stab the bulletproof glass so fragile and precarious?

In that instant, both Fang Senyan and Mark Ji remembered the pistol in Yu Ze's hand, which looked very powerful. Since Yu Ze could conjure five of himself, then it would be easy to disguise a not-so-difficult aiming shot into a desperate blow from a dual-dagger wielding man.

Some things seem simple once they're revealed, but they often require a lot of thought before they are.

The development of the situation to this point meant that Reef had to choose between rescuing Mogansha and the sniper Jin Xiumin. As for why Fang Senyan was not an option in this multiple-choice question, it was because Reef knew deeply that...

Fang Senyan probably wished Li Er would take the initiative to find him!

So Reef went straight to Mogansha. One was a temporary team member, and the other was a formal team member. One had gone through life and death with him, and the other was just shooting from afar. So Reef's choice was not surprising. And the sniper Jin Xiumin directly flashed with light, and after using a movement ability, he simply widened the distance between himself and the enemy. In an instant, "pa pa pa" several shots were fired in succession, turning the Li Er in front of him into a sieve...

So the one in front of the sniper Jin Xiumin was still an illusion.

The Li Er in front of Fang Senyan was an illusion, the Li Er in front of Reef was an illusion, the Li Er in front of Jin Xiumin was also an illusion, and the Li Er stabbing the AMP suit was still an illusion... Could it be that Reef had really guessed correctly? No! The extremely nervous Mogansha backhanded with the silver Spartan spear and blocked. The incoming blade lightly brushed past and turned into nothingness... It was still a damn illusion.

Could it be that all five Li Ers attacking the contractors were illusions?!!!

Then the truth, where was the truth?

The answer was revealed in the next second... It was a tree.

An ordinary tree, growing next to the AMP suit.

Li Er flashed out from behind the tree.

The daggers in his hands were sharp, and he stabbed the bulletproof glass again.

With a loud crash, the bulletproof glass immediately turned into millions of small square transparent particles, scattering like rain and falling all over the ground with a tinkling sound.

Mark Ji's face instantly twisted hideously, and his eyes became vicious. The amiable and even boastful biologist had disappeared in an instant! Replaced by an extremely crazy guy, he couldn't help but roar with red eyes: "Why do you have to force me! Why do you have to kill me first!"

"That's because everyone here is going to die! Only when you die can we enjoy this huge secret, this huge benefit! Since we're going to kill, of course we have to kill the biggest threat to us first!"

Yu Ze's ethereal voice came from all directions, like an echo in the jungle: "Mark Ji, or should I call you Mr. Harlin?" "Although you've changed to such a disgusting name, I know all about your betrayal of the Banks gang and escape with a large fortune, because we were the Zeustrojan horses sent to the Banks team! In fact, you should have a grateful heart. If it wasn't for our Radiant team's Zeus making a bold move to resurrect the metal mentor, attracting the attention of the Banks gang's executives, how could those guys have given you this guy an opportunity?"

"In fact, these little friends should also thank us. It's not necessarily kind of Mark Ji to join your team. Since he defected from the Banks gang team, he has destroyed at least three teams he has joined. So just accept your fate. Even if we don't appear, you will still be destroyed by him."

Before Yu Ze's lingering voice disappeared in the forest, Li Er took advantage of this great opportunity and suddenly did a somersault in the air. The surfaces of the daggers in his hands were flashing. His whole body formed an inverted C shape due to excessive force, and his hands, which were held high behind his head, almost touched his bent feet. He paused in this agile posture for a few seconds, then flashed and slashed down from top to bottom!

The force of this slash was extremely fierce. Because the speed was too fast, a strong wailing sound echoed in the air. Then, the sound of metal breaking came continuously. The AMP (Amplified Mobility Platform) suit was slashed from head to toe by this terrible slash!!!

Along with Mark Ji, one of his arms holding the control stick was also chopped off in a spray of blood.
