Time ticked away, second by second.

Chen Wen and Vikram showed no signs of impatience.

One was a survival expert, the other a military man; patience was something they both had in abundance.

They stood like sculptures on the plateau, unmoved by wind and rain.

As the British contestant exited the makeshift shelter and completed a handover with his teammate.

The sculptures moved.

Vikram tapped the ground, Chen Wen nodded slightly, and the two split, aiming to circumvent the hillside from two different directions.

About half an hour later.

At the entrance to the valley.

Chen Wen maneuvered through the valley, and began his actions from the slope on the valley’s side.

He hunched his body, utilizing the skill effect of "Balance Master" to walk up the steep slope.

This scene left Vikram, not far away, dumbfounded. How good is this guy’s sense of balance?

The moonlight tonight was bright, allowing Vikram to see the situation clearly.

Watching Chen Wen move so effortlessly, Vikram felt a surge of competitiveness.

Clenching a dagger in his teeth, Vikram exerted himself to climb up the slope.

However, he hadn’t specifically studied rock climbing and bouldering, so he was far inferior to Chen Wen.

Even without the skill, Chen Wen would still outclass Vikram in climbing.

After checking on the slightly breathless Vikram, Chen Wen paused on the slope for over a minute, allowing Vikram to catch his breath, and once he calmed, Chen Wen signaled—continue forward!

The two then began entering the valley from the slope.

The path was extremely difficult!

They had to be mindful of the steep slope, maintain balance, and watch out for loose rocks.

But Chen Wen managed to climb over relatively easily.

Not far away, Vikram barely kept up with Chen Wen, and they slipped into the valley effortlessly.

They glanced at the camp’s situation.

The fire had long been extinguished.

But with the "High Mountain Watcher" night vision ability, Chen Wen clearly saw the British contestant’s current state.

He was asleep...

In the future, when working with outsiders, make sure to be cautious!

Chen Wen thought to himself.

This British guy was unreliable; he was already asleep against a stone, his head tilted.

However, this presented Chen Wen with an opportunity for an attack.

Chen Wen smoothly bypassed the stone, moving through the rubble like a snow leopard.

This startled Vikram greatly.

That movement!

So agile!

His core strength and limb control were exceptionally strong!

Under Vikram’s watchful eyes, Chen Wen approached the British contestant.

He took decisive action, covering the British contestant’s mouth and nose with one hand, while pressing the cold dagger against his neck with the other.

As the dagger touched his neck, the British contestant instantly awakened due to the icy sensation.

Feeling the British contestant’s muscles tense, Chen Wen whispered: "Don’t move, move and you die!"

The British contestant’s body stiffened, not daring to move further.

"Good, cooperate and you’ll just be eliminated."

Chen Wen continued to whisper: "But if you don’t cooperate, things could get ugly. Don’t make a sound and don’t move! If you understand, nod your head."

The British contestant nodded frantically.

The coldness of the dagger was overwhelming.

The stabbing sensation sent chills through his body!

Meanwhile, Vikram quietly arrived.

Without any hesitation, he immediately entered the separate small shelter, planning to subdue the Australian contestant residing there first.

However, soon after Vikram entered, he was met with resistance inside the small shelter.

Whether the Australian contestant was a light sleeper or had just woken up was unclear.

As Vikram reached out to restrain him, the contestant realized his shelter had been infiltrated.

He immediately struggled and kneed Vikram.

Using his rich combat experience, Vikram dodged the attack, but his body collided with the shelter.

The already fragile stone shelter collapsed with a crash.

Chen Wen slapped his forehead.

Great, the ambush is now a bust.

Vikram, filled with anger.

He fiercely swung his fist, knocking the struggling Australian contestant unconscious.

Light—no, likely moderate—concussion!

Listening to the sound of a fist meeting a head, Chen Wen couldn’t help but think.

By now, the Nepalese contestant and the tall Australian contestant were thoroughly alerted.

They emerged from the shelter, screaming wildly, even carrying weapons.

Chen Wen tapped the British contestant’s scapula with the dagger’s pommel: "You’re eliminated, if you make a move, I’ll let Vikram deal with you."

The British contestant instinctively glanced at Vikram.

He was lifting the unconscious Australian contestant as if he were a chick, carrying him to the clearing and then dropping him hard.

The British contestant’s body trembled.

He nodded furiously and retreated voluntarily.

Too brutal!

"Vikram! It’s definitely you! You’re... Chen Wen!"

The Nepalese contestant looked at the two, shocked and angry, his emotions fluctuating wildly.

Meanwhile, the tall contestant’s face turned pale with terror.

Without warning, two members of their side were already gone!

Such combat prowess!

He swallowed hard, feeling the urge to retreat.

Chen Wen stood up, saying: "Vikram, your ambush techniques seem to be lacking."

Vikram lightly flexed his wrist, reversing the grip on his dagger, assuming a dagger combat stance: "Don’t worry, my ability in frontal combat won’t disappoint you!"

With that, not waiting for the two contestants to smack talk.

Vikram charged at the Nepalese contestant like a beast.

Chen Wen shifted his footing, triggering the stacked "Swift Attack," and his speed was far beyond Vikram’s.

Even though he started later, he arrived first!

Wham!

Chen Wen’s powerful punch landed, flipping the unsuspecting tall contestant to the ground.

He clutched his stomach in agony, his eyes bulging.

And under the influence of "Combat Master" and a series of skills, Chen Wen landed another punch to the tall contestant’s shoulder, completely grounding him.

The battle was over!

Chen Wen stood up, looking at Vikram, who had just cornered the Nepalese contestant.

"Hah!"

Vikram held nothing back, emitting a strange exhalation from his throat, swinging his dagger toward the Nepalese contestant.

But seizing the moment when his opponent used a dagger to block, he deviously kneed the contestant’s abdomen.

Splurt!

The Nepalese contestant’s abdomen was struck, forcing him to regurgitate acid.

Vikram then kicked his face.

With a thud, the Nepalese contestant’s forehead greeted the ground intimately, passing out completely.

The blow was vicious, even hinting at lethal intent!

Watching this, Chen Wen couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

He wasn’t fond of people like Vikram—too ruthless!

Seeing this, the tall contestant’s resentment toward Chen Wen vanished.

Tough pickles!

If attacked by Vikram, it wouldn’t just be about pain!

He couldn’t help but muse.

"Despite the flaws, the mission was successful."

Vikram snatched the knife from the Nepalese contestant, looking at Chen Wen.

Chen Wen nodded slightly.

He calculated that the association had probably already sent someone to retrieve the four.

"Alright, shall we clear the battlefield now?"

Chen Wen chuckled, having endured long enough; he was ravenously hungry.

Vikram shared the same thought.
