Chapter 676: Chapter 18: The Fight Breaks Out

Just as Ding Jinyu tackled Shijing Heren and landed a solid punch on his jaw.

The Portuguese camp erupted in furious roars.

They raised their weapons, launching a sudden attack on the British.

The Spaniards nearby saw this and silently picked up their weapons, also attacking the British.

Under Vini’s terrified gaze, two of their team members were instantly struck by arrows, losing the ability to fight.

At that moment, the American team, who had agreed with the British team, couldn’t sit still seeing their ally injured.

Led by Hope, the four Americans suddenly launched an attack from behind the Portuguese. Amidst the screams, the Portuguese attack vanished.

Everyone was injured!

The chaos intensified further.

The French team, alerted by the commotion, glanced at the situation and decided not to care about it.

Led by their president Lloyd, the French decisively struck at the British, even shouting the slogan "Stop the riot," justifying their actions.

The British, attacked from multiple sides, had no place to cry.

Vini shouted that they were not the ones who initiated the attack while counterattacking with a bow and arrow.

All teams were startled by the chaos.

Once the Russians awoke, Oleg’s eyes darted around, realizing this was a perfect chance to eliminate opponents.

He suddenly shouted: "The Japanese! It’s the Japanese who initiated the attack!"

Having said this, he didn’t care if others believed it.

The Russians brandished their weapons towards the Japanese team, believing it themselves.

The starting point immediately became a mess. Various shouts and screams converged into a cacophony, causing the nearby natives to become extremely nervous.

Each household held their hunting rifles, warily watching the starting point.

Fortunately, despite the chaos at the starting point, everyone knew the natives had guns, so no one dared to run that way.

The chaos lasted for almost fifteen minutes.

Finally, with the joint intervention of the French president and several vice-presidents, the chaos was quelled.

However, the consequences of this chaos were extremely severe!

On the Japanese side.

Shijing Heren was sneakily shot in the back of the knee by Oleg and was now lying in pain on the ground, unable to move at all.

The other team members were also injured, but their wounds didn’t affect their mobility.

On the American side, one contestant was injured while ambushing the Portuguese, suffering a severe punch to the nose.

For the British, only Vini and the deputy leader remained relatively intact.

The other three members lost the ability to continue competing.

On the Russian side, Andrei was ambushed by Feng Zhong while attacking the Japanese team and got his ribs broken, rendering him unable to continue.

On the French side, two members lost the ability to compete.

The Spaniards fared slightly better, with only one person taken down, and whether they could continue depended on wound treatment.

The Portuguese suffered the worst.

Under Hope’s fierce attack, they were completely wiped out.

On Australia’s side, three out of four were lightly injured, and the remaining one was unharmed, which was relatively fortunate.

Adding up all the injuries, they found that the chaos had directly eliminated twelve people!

Moreover, many were injured, and if their wounds couldn’t be treated while needing to continue the journey.

If the wounds worsened, they wouldn’t be able to survive.

This result was hard for everyone to accept.

Thus, they began tracing the source of the chaos.

Amidst the Portuguese’s anger, the source of the chaos was soon identified by everyone.

"The Japanese! Shijing Heren!"

With an angry shout, the Japanese team, who knew the truth, shivered.

Faced with the encirclement, Matsui Reika gritted her teeth and agreed to pay certain compensation.

The joint teams from various countries didn’t hold back and demanded the materials they needed as compensation.

After a round of threats.

They left satisfied, leaving the Japanese team utterly disheartened.

...

Looking at Shijing Heren, who lost the ability to compete, Matsui Reika was furious, but didn’t know where to vent it.

At Shijing Heren?

She felt more helpless than anything.

No matter how you look at it, couldn’t you wake us up before taking action?

Not only did you act alone, but you also lost to Ding Jinyu and caused a massive mess, becoming the source of chaos.

Truly... stupid!

As for Ding Jinyu, Matsui Reika couldn’t even get angry; instead, she needed to recruit him.

After all, the Japanese team was down to three members, with one being Feng Zhong, and they had suffered significant losses in materials and equipment.

They needed to replenish personnel to continue.

Ding Jinyu, being a relatively clean player, was their top recruitment target.

So, after a fit of frustration, Matsui Reika suddenly exclaimed: "Damn Chen Wen!"

Yoshikawa Feng was utterly confused.

Chen Wen?

What about him?

Matsui Reika continued to angrily say: "If it weren’t for him deliberately instigating, Shijing wouldn’t have doubted Feng Zhong, and thus wouldn’t have doubted Ding Jinyu, leading to tonight’s events happening!"

Hearing this, Yoshikawa Feng was astonished: Damn, Chen Wen is truly sinister!

There’s even this angle? No wonder you’re the president!

But despite discovering this, they couldn’t do anything to Chen Wen.

Matsui Reika called Feng Zhong over and went to find Ding Jinyu. After a round of earnest discussion, they managed to recruit Ding Jinyu, officially inviting him to be a teammate.

Ding Jinyu felt helpless.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to join Matsui Reika’s team.

Although these two were speaking softly and pleading now.

If he didn’t agree, well...

After Ding Jinyu agreed, he used expanding the team as an excuse to invite the two Australian players, bringing them into this team.

Those two players were also candidates who had failed in the seed selection.

They originally planned to leave the team, but after tonight’s events, their desire to leave peaked.

Additionally, since the Japanese team performed quite well during the chaos, with only one unable to continue, they recognized the Japanese team’s strength.

Thus, they agreed with Ding Jinyu and joined the Japanese team.

Thus, after the chaos, the Japanese team returned to having six members.

However, they suffered significant losses in materials and equipment.

On the American side, Gaston and Hope discussed and brought along the remaining member to the British team, discussing with Vini and the British deputy leader for a while.

Everyone formally allied, forming a team of five.

The remaining two Australian players were friends with Xu Qiang. After some consideration, they decided to team up with the Spaniards.

The Spaniards lost one member and needed someone to cooperate with, which matched perfectly.

This side immediately formed a large team of seven!

As for the Russian and French teams, seeing other teams forming alliances.

After some hesitation, they teamed up, forming a dual-seed team centered around Oleg and Lloyd.

The number came to six.

Thus, aside from Chen Wen’s team.

The other eight teams condensed into four teams.

The new Japanese team, made from the Japan, China, and Australia alliance, had six members.

The new American team, made from the US and UK alliance, had five members.

The new Spanish team, made from the Western Australia alliance, had seven members.

The new Russian team, made from the Russia and France alliance, had six members.

Overnight, the power dynamics between the national teams changed dramatically, leaving everyone feeling like it was a lifetime ago.

As for the contestants who lost their ability to compete.

With the cars roaring in for rescue, taking them away for treatment also announced their exit.

The Australian deputy leader who came to pick them up sighed: Goodness, I thought eliminating six people was a lot; this time twelve people were out, incredible!

The cars roared away, and the starting point fell silent once more.
