"It’s a native!!!"

His pupils suddenly constricted, and a wave of terror, like a tide, surged out from the depths of his eyes. In the distance, within a jungle resembling outstretched ghastly claws, stood three tall natives, their bodies a bronze hue, each with three eyes. The third eye in the center of their foreheads opened, emitting an unsettling silver light, deep and flickering.

An invisible force emanated from them. Countless minute forces, like threads, burst forth, traversing hundreds of meters to entangle the shocked and dazed challenger. In an instant, the challenger’s body became rigid, unable to move. His strength and blood seemed to be bound and sealed by this mysterious force, rendering him completely immobile. He couldn’t even make a sound or move his lips.

A strange smile appeared on the face of the three-eyed native. His lips parted slightly as if exhaling. The third eye shone intensely with the silver light. Suddenly, the challenger’s internal power uncontrollably erupted, boiling like scalding water.

Boom! His body was suddenly burst open by the violent, uncontainable energy. With a loud bang, his body exploded. Flesh, limbs, and organs splattered everywhere.

"Holy crap, it really is a native!"

"This native is terrifying! The streamer was so far away, and just one glance made him explode and die!"

"Damn, are natives this frightening? If we encounter them, are we doomed?!"

"These natives are despicable!"

"So that’s how Tate died. It was really the natives, and their power is too terrifying!"

The viewers in the live stream were horrified. After a brief moment of shock, they quickly exited the stream, fearing they might be discovered by the natives. Soon, the news about the natives spread widely. Discussions about the natives quickly overshadowed those about Waldo. For a while, challengers near the site of the incident were in a state of panic.

"Just a small insect, unaware of its impending doom, daring to come here and spy. You see, this is the consequence!"

In the distance, the three three-eyed natives chuckled lightly, their faces displaying a hint of disdain. To them, a first-level challenger was like a child, easily crushed. "These insects are too weak, uninteresting, none of them are a match for us."

"It’s normal, these people are all first-level challengers with meager strength. It’s just the beginning. We shouldn’t underestimate them too much. After the first wave of the demon tide, their strength will significantly increase. Then, they won’t be so easy to deal with. Of course, to us, the difference isn’t much more than that between ants, especially since our strength will also increase!"

"Hahaha, you’re giving them too much credit! With their little strength, how many of them can survive?"

"True, it would be quite impressive if even one-tenth of these challengers survive."

The three natives conversed loudly among themselves. Whether it was killing Tate and his group or the recent challenger, these acts were inconsequential to them. In fact, hunting challengers was a form of amusement for them.

"According to the old ancestors of our Three-Eye God Tribe, the supreme rulers will select a handful of the most talented and powerful individuals from among the challengers and the various god tribes for cultivation! This opportunity is limited, and it should rightfully belong to us, the major god tribes. Who knew that these challengers from various realms would foolishly aspire to compete with us for these spots. They really don’t know the extent of their own insignificance!"

"If it weren’t for the safety of the safe houses, I would have annihilated them long ago," one of the three-eyed natives scoffed.

Under the rule of the supreme rulers, the Eternal Kingdom was home to countless races, and their Three-Eye God Tribe was among the top-tier ones. Their third eye granted them formidable powers, capable of intimidating enemies and even directly controlling opponents of slightly lower strength, sealing their souls and powers.

Among their peers, the divine powers and strength of the Three-Eye Tribe were terrifying indeed. Of course, these three were not true members of the god tribe but a branch of the Three-Eye God Tribe’s lineage. The true Three-Eye God Tribe was very small in number, with rare bloodline inheritance, and each member was exceptionally talented and powerful.

The supreme rulers had set three major assessment tasks.

To obtain the treasure and cultivation of the supreme rulers, one must pass through the three major assessment tasks. Both the god tribe branch members and the challengers need to start from the first survival assessment. However, true members of the god tribes can directly enter the next phase of the assessment.

Even though they are not true members of the Three-Eye God Tribe, their innate talents far exceed those of the challengers. Moreover, even at the same level as second-level challengers, their strength is much greater.

"The three of us are enough to slaughter our way through the entire land of darkness!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Of course! Look at those guys. There are fewer than ten second-level challengers. What threat could they pose to us? Even if they unite, they are no match for us. They might cause some trouble, but in the end, they’ll inevitably be annihilated by us," the three laughed heartily.

Two hours later, in a safe house on the wasteland.

"I wonder if the natives have left."

Inside the safe house, a man and a woman looked pale. They had received news that the three-eyed natives were roaming nearby and had not left. Some challengers who had not managed to enter the safe houses in time had encountered the three-eyed natives and were easily killed. The ferocity of these natives was terrifying.

Their biggest worry now was that their safe house would be discovered. Could the safe house withstand an attack from the natives, who were not demons after all?

"Hopefully, they’ve left," the female challenger said anxiously. "The three-eyed natives also need to hunt demons and acquire super Source stones to level up. They surely aren’t foolish enough to waste their time on us!"

"There are hardly any demons near this safe house. To hunt demons, one would have to go to a small town a hundred kilometers away or even farther to a city. If they’re three-eyed natives, they definitely won’t waste their time here," the male challenger shook his head helplessly.

"I also hope they’ve left, but all signs indicate they haven’t. Just half an hour ago, thirty kilometers from here, a challenger spotted them!"

"Damn it, when will they finally leave!"
