On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

Blazing Front, a game where you team up to fight on the battlefield, a forest map.

Tall trees reached the sky, their lush branches and leaves intertwined, blocking out the sun, with only a few rays of sunlight shining through the occasional gaps. Low bushes and weeds grew in great numbers, and there was silence all around, with the faint sound of birds chirping in the distance.

A team of six people was carefully moving through the woods. They were all holding weapons and looked serious and nervous.

They walked forward and finally came to a place suitable for resting. It was a small open space surrounded by several huge old trees. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

The leading captain raised his hand to signal the team members to stop, and said in a low voice: "Rest where you are."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to sit down. Some people leaned against the tree trunk, closed their eyes, and took a long breath, as if to expel all the fatigue from the battle.

The captain inspected the surrounding environment and after making sure there was no danger, he found a rock to sit on.

"I say, Captain, you are too cautious. The battle will be over in less than ten minutes. We can just rest where we were just now. Why do we have to run so far?" said a tall and thin team member, leaning against a tree trunk.

They had just experienced a battle, and the opponent was not as strong as their team, so they were dealt with like cutting melons and vegetables. But the captain was afraid that the noise of the battle would attract other people, so he insisted that everyone move quickly.

In his opinion, there are less than ten minutes left. Who would come here to seek death at such a last minute? You know, they still have a full complement of six people and are in good condition. If other teams come, they will just die.

"Oh, you don't know. You were not here last week, so a few of us teamed up with the captain. When the team was almost over, a guy suddenly showed up and chopped us to death with just a few slashes." said a short teammate who was sitting directly on the ground. He raised his hand and touched his neck, seeming to be still in shock.

"I didn't have time to see anything clearly, I felt my head fly up to the sky, and then it was gone. Hey, captain, did you see who died last?"

The captain sat on the stone with an unpleasant look on his face. He obviously remembered something bad. He spoke slowly, "There are two people, a gray-haired alpha and a black-haired beta."

"Captain, this combination you mentioned sounds familiar to me." The short team member on the ground slapped his thigh and stood up.

"It's those two killers, the 'witch' and her 'evil dog'!" He suddenly shouted loudly, but when he received the captain's glare, his voice immediately became softer.

"Hey, I check the game forum every day. Last week, someone was complaining about how they died inexplicably. After everyone got together, they found out that they had encountered the same team, with only two people, a beta and an alpha."

"I heard that the beta has blood-red eyes and kills without blinking, so everyone calls her the 'witch'. The alpha calls her master and says he is a vicious dog raised by the 'witch'." He winked at his other companions and said sarcastically, "I don't know if there are any unknown tricks in it. I think being a witch must be very good, haha."

Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter. Everyone died in their hands last week, so they naturally had resentment towards the two men. Now that they had found an opportunity, they would of course belittle them as much as possible.

"In my opinion, the beta must have used some dirty tricks to seduce the alpha. How can a beta be so strong? He must have used shameful means. The alpha must have never seen the world and was bewitched by a beta." A tall and strong team member sitting on a rock said sarcastically.

"But I haven't heard of anyone encountering this this week. Maybe they got carried away."

"Hahaha, who says it's not true? Betas are not as popular as omegas. Maybe they are just playing around and are tired of it now. Don't you think so, Captain?"

The captain sitting on the stone frowned and rubbed his brows. His teammates were just like that, always liking to chat about random gossip. He said tiredly, "Yes, stop talking. It will be over in a few minutes. Let's take a break..."

Suddenly, a silver bell-like laughter came from the tall trees, like the bell of death, clear and pleasant but also a little weird.

"Come on, aren't you talking happily?"

The team members were immediately nervous and all looked up in the direction of the laughter. They saw a slender figure vaguely seen among the dense branches and leaves.

"Who's there?" the captain shouted sternly, holding his long knife.

The figure did not answer, but the laughter became more and more wild, echoing in the silent forest, making people feel creepy.

"Come out! Stop playing tricks!" a team member couldn't help but shout.

"I'm not playing tricks. You were just talking about me." Qingyue's voice came from high in the sky.

Shi Chu raised his eyebrows and sat on the branch, swinging his legs leisurely.

After completing her daily and weekly tasks, she was too lazy to run around, so she just picked a place to rest. Unexpectedly, she was only a few minutes away from finishing her tasks, and someone actually came to her door.

"Dog, did you hear that?" She asked with a bright and cruel smile, "What did they just say?"

"They said I lied to you." She paused and continued, "Well, are you just playing with me?"

"No." A slender figure walked out from the shadow under the tree.

Yin Xu slowly pulled out the knife in his hand, the cold light shone on his face, illuminating his eyes that were full of murderous intent.

How dare they make up stories about his master and judge his sincerity towards his master? What do they know? He finally became his master's pet. Those who want to destroy the relationship between him and his master should die.

He pulled out the dagger from his waist with his left hand and threw it out with force.

I saw a cold light flash like lightning, drawing a cold arc in the air.

The short team member who started talking about them didn't have time to react, he just felt a sharp pain in his throat. The dagger pierced his throat accurately.

His eyes widened, filled with horror and disbelief, and he tried to make a sound, but could only squeeze out a vague gurgling sound from his throat.

Yin Xu quickly shuttled between several people, and wherever he passed, short screams were heard.

The sharp blade in his hand drew deadly arcs in the air, stabbing each person's throat accurately and ruthlessly. Blood splattered in the air, forming a bloody mist.

Those people covered their throats and fell to the ground in pain, their eyes filled with fear and despair, and only vague whimpering sounds came out of their throats.

"Hey, don't you like to talk? Why don't you say anything anymore?" Shi Chu said slowly, looking at the person struggling on the ground with a smile.

She just sat high up on the tree, watching those people struggle in pain with her bloodshot eyes coldly until they died.

He is so weak yet he still dares to maliciously slander her. He is courting death.

Shi Chu propped up his head in boredom, looked at Yin Xu who had just jumped onto the tree beside him, and waved at him.

Yin Xu obediently came to her side, bent down and squatted, slowly put his head in front of her, and looked straight at her with a pair of light gray eyes, like a puppy waiting for praise.

"The puppy is really great, he did a good job." She stretched out her right hand and rubbed Yin Xu's head, smiling.

The good thing about having a pet is that you don’t have to do everything yourself.

Shi Chu looked at the time and saw that the game would be over in less than a minute.

She stretched out her hands and gently hooked Yin Xu's neck, pulling him towards her. The hot breath she exhaled sprayed lightly on the alpha's white earlobe. She put her red lips close to his ear and slowly said, "See you tomorrow, my little dog."
