  After landing on the ancient ruins battlefield, taking advantage of the eerie blood light that wrapped around his body had not completely dissipated, Su Hong first looked down at the bloody tattoo on his left chest and then quickly said: "Request to transform appearance, conduct combat disguise."

  "Request approved, combat disguise prop activated, one Blood Coin automatically deducted." The omnipresent Overlord quickly gave a response, a mask emitting a faint glow suddenly appeared in front of Su Hong, transformed into a ray of light and merged with his face, constantly changing shape.

  As the strange blood glow on Su Hong's body dissipated, he had transformed into a completely different appearance. His short hair was neat and tidy, and his face had changed to a sharp and angular one with distinct facial features, vastly different from his usual image. Even Su Hong's parents would have found it difficult to recognize him if they were there.

  As for the mysteriousness of Xun Yue's space, Su Hong had already had a very deep understanding, so he didn't have too much surprise. He only saw that after changing into another form, he quickly walked to the World Tree under Tian Hui Fang and carefully examined his teammates this time.

  A man with straight black hair and glasses, wearing a plaid shirt, looked very elegant and refined. He was around twenty years old, probably a recent college graduate, standing under the World Tree, curiously looking around, his expression full of curiosity.

  A young man with a menacing appearance, wearing a tight-fitting vest, had a robust build. His skin was either covered in frightening scars or dense, ferocious tattoos, likely indicating that he was a gangster. What was even more unbelievable was that his hand still held a blood-stained cleaver, and it was highly possible that he was in the midst of a fierce battle when he was pulled into the Xueyue realm by the ruler.

  There was also a middle-aged man, dressed in a suit and tie, wearing an expensive watch on his wrist, with his head held high and his chest out, the typical demeanor of a company boss. He must have been used to giving orders every day, even when he came to this ancient battlefield, there was no change at all, and his expression was quite arrogant.

  Apart from that, the last one was a heavily made-up woman, with revealing clothes, her proud twin peaks were snow-white and dazzling, making people dizzy at once. Suddenly arriving at the ancient battlefield, she immediately lost her composure, hugged her chest with both hands, and screamed incessantly.

  The four people were dressed in different attire, but without exception, they all had an unmistakable look of surprise and fear on their faces as they suddenly arrived at the ancient relic battlefield, just like Su Hong's state when he first entered, completely like a newcomer who didn't understand anything.

  "Damn it! How could this be?! This time's teammates are all newbies and rookies!" After sizing them up, Su Hong's eyebrows furrowed tightly, regardless of what these people did or how they were pulled into the Cang Yue space by the ruler. Four thorough newbies, plus him, an "old bird" who had only experienced one battle, such a matching result was really beyond Su Hong's expectations, making him want to curse loudly.

  Although Li Dairen had said that the battle matching in the Cang Yue space was quite balanced, with the omnipotent ruler present, it was rare for there to be a huge disparity in strength, but Su Hong still couldn't shake off the feeling, and his heart always had a layer of shadow, vaguely feeling that something wasn't right.

  No wonder, with four newbies plus him as a half-newbie, this match combination is really too weird.

  "I hope the opponents are also newbies... " Su Hong sighed and shook his head, comforting himself, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.

  "Waaaah!"

  The loud and clear war horn sounded more and more urgent, the ancient tree barracks on the three high grounds had begun to shine brightly, surging with the mighty natural life energy. One after another, the Tree People soldiers and the fierce Druids walked out of them, forming neat rows, ready to depart.

  Time is pressing, Su Hong no longer complained and grumbled, but instead grasped the time to say: "Listen up, I don't care who you are or where you come from, but I'm sure you've also made some guesses. This is absolutely not just an ordinary virtual battle game, but a real bloody fight. If you haven't prepared your minds yet, I suggest you'd better stay by the Life Spring in the base and don't go out rashly."

  Pausing for a moment, Su Hong's heart softened slightly, and he couldn't help but add: "Of course, if you don't want to be annihilated, I suggest you'd better get used to the bloody combat rules of the ancient ruins battlefield as soon as possible and make some contributions."

  To be honest, Su Hong didn't have high expectations for these newcomers. After all, DOTA was never a one-man show, at least not before any strengthening had taken place - it's hard to take on five alone. If someone among the four could stand out and lend him a helping hand, that would be great; at the very least, it would increase their chances of winning.

  However, what made Su Hong somewhat disappointed was that these four people obviously still hadn't figured out the situation. After crossing over their initial unknown fear, they suddenly stood under the World Tree, shouting and yelling, completely treating his words as nothing but a breeze in their ears, without any sense of mortal crisis.

  "Is this an ancient relic battlefield? This can't be the real projection of the DOTA game, right? I didn't know DOTA could be played like this!" The bespectacled university student's eyes lit up, looking very excited.

  "It's really quite amazing, the degree of anthropomorphism is so realistic, it's like being there in person. This is way more enjoyable than when I used to play at the internet cafe." The young punk on the road nodded in agreement.

  "Hey, this human version of DOTA has great commercial potential. I wonder which company developed it. If we can get the agency rights in China, I estimate we can make a fortune." The middle-aged successful man's eyes sparkled with excitement as he quickly made his professional judgment.

  "Hate it to death, just a game, scared me half to death, I'll settle the score with that guy who pulled me in!" The scantily clad woman pouted, shaking her impressive bust, and instantly became the center of attention for everyone except the bespectacled college student, who looked somewhat abashed.

  "Whatever, I'll just rely on myself then......" Su Hong shook his head somewhat speechlessly and didn't bother saying anything else, lowering his head to look at the blood-red tattoo on his chest, observing the formation of the Nightmares across from him.

  "Oracle, Earthshaker, Zeus, Phantom Assassin and Clockwerk, they've actually brought out a globally popular lineup!" Su Hong's heart skipped a beat as he felt his chances of winning dwindle to almost nothing.

  It's not that Su Hong's will is not strong, but rather the opponent has come up with a global flow array in such a short period of time, revealing too much information from it.

  First, the global flow array is a very aggressive playstyle. After the gnomes repaired the flying shoes, all five heroes have the ability to support and attack globally. As long as the coordination is in place, it's easy to suppress the opponent through suffocating global hunting, even causing the opponent's mentality to collapse completely.

  Secondly, while our team is still figuring out the situation, the opposing team has already quickly formed a globally aggressive lineup, which means that the opposing team is absolutely not a newcomer who doesn't understand anything. On the contrary, they are likely to be old birds, and can form such a strong oppressive global flow lineup in a short period of time.

  Finally, and most importantly, the global flow array is very strong, but the requirement for mutual cooperation is also extremely high. Since the opponent dares to bring out such a heroic lineup, it means they have great confidence in their own coordination.

  Could it be that this is the so-called black-hearted store...

  Su Hong suddenly felt a severe headache, and this possibility was not impossible. He thought back to his first battle, wasn't it against Li Dairen, Glasses Man, and T-shirt Youth's three-man team? It was likely that there were other secrets in the Xueyue Space, aside from the ancient relic battlefield, where one could purchase such team equipment. However, now was not the time to consider these issues; what mattered most was how to get past this current level.

  After careful consideration, Su Hong chose the late-game hero Enemy Master, Nightmares' global flow hero lineup was too aggressive, it was really hard to fight head-on in the early game, not to mention his four teammates were still enthusiastically discussing and had no sense of self-awareness in choosing heroes...

  Although his teammates looked unreliable and the chances of victory were slim, Su Hong did not want to give up. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would strive to seize it, and the enemy's mage was just such a powerful hero who could 1V5 in the late game.

  Of course, on the premise that Su Hong can drag it to the late stage and ensure that his own hero equipment is at least one more big piece of equipment than the opposing late-stage hero Yougui.

  A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and Su Hong didn't think much more about it, but instead walked quickly towards the Hero Tavern.

  "Enemy mage!"

  The World Tree swayed, its seven-colored light flashing and rushing towards Su Hong. When the light dissipated, Su Hong had transformed into the strongest demon hunter in the history of the Dark Night Spirit Tribe. His skin was a pale blue, his muscles rippling with explosive power, his hands gripping the moon-blade knife, and a black headband covered his eyes, fluttering in the wind.

  At almost the same moment, Su Hong's left chest tattoo of a blood-red bird slightly heated up, and an eerie glow flashed. The initial attribute data of this heroic enemy also floated into his mind:

  Chosen Hero: Enemy Mage

  Hero Attribute: Agility Hero
