The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 974 Eliminated Without Mercy

The L2 Mystic Realm Command Center was abuzz with tension as Surman filed a formal complaint with the

competition's committee against Rattlesnake Special Forces for violating the rules.

Meanwhile, the enforcement team issued a warning to the commander-in-chief of Vailia's Rattlesnake Special

Forces, ordering him to instruct Nester, their front-line commander, to cease further harassment of the Peacock

Kingdom's Wild Wolf Special Forces. Frustrated, Nester admitted, "At this rate, they won't even make it through

Area Two. Their elimination is inevitable."

Vailia's command center reluctantly accepted the grim reality. Rattlesnake Special Forces were filled with regret.

According to this year's competition format, they had a chance to secure a respectable ranking based on their

physical endurance. Yet, they fell prey to the instigation of Peacock Kingdom's Wild Wolf Special Forces, choosing

to target Dragon Soul instead.

This reckless move drained their supplies prematurely. Now, it was impossible for them to sustain themselves to

the summit.

As things stood, Dragon Soul Special Forces, along with Peacock Kingdom's Wild Wolf Special Forces, Sakuranian

Special Forces, and Autreynia's team, had already reached the mountain's peak. Left with no options,

Rattlesnake Special Forces withdrew from the competition in defeat.

Beyond the mountain in Area Two lay a river, followed by the mysterious forest of Area Three. Out of the initial

80 teams, fewer than half remained.

Area Three was a harsh, primal forest, where freezing temperatures and fierce predators roamed. The Mystic

Realm system had concealed each team's energy supplies and provisions in well-hidden locations, often guarded

by dangerous beasts. It was almost guaranteed that retrieving these supplies would lead to a deadly encounter.

Talia, who had arrived early, had already completed her assigned tasks and had been waiting for stime.

Robin's calculations had accurately predicted that Rattlesnake Special Forces, with their lack of strength and

underhanded tactics, would fail to reach Area Three. Acting preemptively, Talia retrieved their energy supplies

and water reserves, relocating them to Dragon Soul's designated area.

As Talia exited the area formerly occupied by Rattlesnake Special Forces, she spotted members of other teams

arriving. These groups, acting on intel from their command centers, had finally made their way to the location,

but they were too late.

Talia transported all the supplies to a cave on a nearby hill. Once everything was secured, she sent the

coordinates to Gavin and Freya. Just as she settled in to rest, her instincts kicked in a faint rustling sound caught

her attention. She froze as two massive pythons, each nearly 30 feet long and as thick as a grown man's arm,

slithered silently toward her from both sides of the cave.

Her heart raced. The cave's narrow confines left her with no choice. If she wanted to escape, she would need to

kill the snakes. Yet, the odds of successfully taking down both predators in such a space were slim. Death

seemed almost certain if she failed. Talia drew her dagger, bracing herself for the inevitable. However, as she

observed the pythons more closely, she noticed something peculiar: their eyes lacked focus, and their

movements were guided purely by scent and sound.

After a tense moment of observation, Talia realized the pythons had been drawn to the scent of canned beef

from the energy supplies. The two beasts slithered rapidly toward the source of the aroma.

Talia held her breath, panic tightening her chest. The canned beef was stacked right in front of her. After all the

struggles she had endured to hide these supplies, the thought of losing them to the ravenous pythons was

unbearable.

In a flash of desperation, she reached for a survival spray she had packed for emergencies. The spray emitted a

sharp, unpleasant scent. Without hesitation, Talia doused the canned beef with it, hoping to repel the pythons

before it was too late. The giant pythons froze in place.

One of the monstrous snakes stopped directly in front of Talia, its gaping jaws terrifyingly close to her face.

Talia's heart nearly stopped. She held her breath, desperately trying to avoid detection by the two blind pythons.

The standoff lasted for a full two minutes. The snakes continued sniffing around her, searching for the scent of

the beef cans they'd initially detected.

When one python's head moved slightly away, Talia seized the opportunity. She quietly opened a can of beef and

rolled it toward the cave entrance. The rich aroma quickly filled the air.

The pythons lingered around her for a few more moments, then began slithering toward the cave entrance,

following the scent of the beef.

With the immediate danger diverted, Talia swiftly reorganized her energy supplies and buried them under a pile

of dried grass in the cave.

Just then, faint footsteps echoed closer.

Talia quickly moved to a shadowy corner of the cave.

Peering toward the source of the sound, she spotted two members of the Wild Wolf Special Forces sneaking

toward the cave. Their furtive movements suggested they had caught the scent of the beef cans and followed it

here.

It was clear the Wild Wolf Special Forces intended to infiltrate the Dragon Soul territory and steal its energy

supplies. They had likely searched the Rattlesnake Team's area, found nothing, and then ventured here.

Talia immediately reported the situation to Robin, emphasizing the presence of the pythons.

She proposed using the pythons to deal with the two would-be thieves, and Robin approved the plan.

The footsteps grew louder.

Talia opened another can of beef and tossed it toward the two approaching Wild Wolf members.

The men, drawn by the sound and scent, quickly entered the cave. Spotting the scattered beef cans, they

crouched down to grab them.

Before they could react, the two pythons lunged with lightning speed.

The snakes struck before the Wild Wolf members could put up a fight, devouring them whole. The men's screams

of agony echoed through the dense forest, turning the atmosphere chillingly sinister. The horrific cries alerted

members of other teams who had already reached Area Three.

Hearing the screams, Gavin, Freya, and the rest of the Dragon Soul Special Forces immediately rushed toward

the cave with their teammates.

Meanwhile, the remaining Wild Wolf Special Forces members recognized the voices of their comrades and sensed

disaster. They hurried to the scene, accompanied by members of

Demberoa's Crocodile Sembers of

Forces, Sakurania's Blackforest Special Forces, Autreynia's SEAL Team, and other competitors

passing through the area.

When they arrived, they witnessed

Gavin snorted coldly. "Your teammates trespassed into our territory, got themselves killed by the pythons, and
