94: Chapter 94 An Old Acquaintance, an Unknown Passerby

"Heh." Qian Pingning sneered, not bothering to pay any more attention, instead silently watching the live stream screen.

As for Zhu Yongfeng, after glancing at Qian Pingning, he looked at the female assistant, Xiao Yu. "You are fired."

"?" Xiao Yu was stunned. "What? Fire me? On what grounds? Why are you firing me? Who do you think you are?!"

She immediately unleashed her inner shrew, ready to throw a tantrum on the spot. "It's unfair!! You're firing me for no reason. I'm going to report you, I'm going to expose you, I'm going to..."

Slap!! The adjutant stepped forward and slapped her across the face. "Screaming and shouting, do you think this is some playground? The General has the authority to issue direct personnel orders! If he fires you, he fires you! If you have any issues, go report it to headquarters yourself!"

"You! You!!" Xiao Yu was furious and immediately turned to look at Qian Pingning. "Qian..."

Before she could continue, Qian Pingning waved his hand. "Don't let unauthorized personnel stay in this restricted military zone. Take her away."

"What?!" Xiao Yu was stunned, never expecting that Qian Pingning would abandon her so easily. It wasn't like this when they were in bed the other day.

"Qian Pingning, you're not a man! You..." Xiao Yu wanted to keep cursing, but when Qian Pingning's cold gaze swept over her, she was so terrified that her body trembled. She didn't dare to say another word and could only be dragged away in silence.

Then, Qian Pingning looked at Zhu Yongfeng with a smile again. "Hehehehe, these young girls are truly poisoned by the internet nowadays. They really have no manners."

"..." Zhu Yongfeng did not answer, instead looking directly at the live stream screen.

That mud creature anomaly, having re-formed, lunged toward Fatty the moment it reappeared.

"Oh, damn it!! What the hell is this?!" Fatty exclaimed, immediately unleashing a barrage of bullets. Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!

The dense hail of bullets hit the mud creature anomaly as if sinking into water, falling to the ground after being cushioned. "It's not afraid of bullets at all!! How are we supposed to fight this?!"

As he spoke, he dodged quickly and shouted, "Everyone get back!! Let me blow that thing to pieces!!"

While speaking, he had already taken out a grenade, preparing for a big blast. The others quickly scattered.

The next second, the grenade with its pin pulled flew in an arc and landed right at the mud creature anomaly's feet. "Die, you bastard!!"

Fatty shouted again, but the next second, the mud creature anomaly kicked the grenade right back.

"Holy shit!! Holy shit!!!" Fatty was so shocked that he didn't care about anything else, turned around, and bolted. Lin Tianyi and the others did the same.

The power of a grenade was no joke; if it hit them, they would likely lose half their lives.

In their panic, the red leaf sword instantly appeared, intercepting it mid-air. Boom!!!

The violent shockwave made everyone sway, as if they were about to fall. Dust filled the air, severely obscuring their vision.

After stumbling back a few steps, Fatty gripped his rifle again and fired a barrage of bullets into the dust. Rat-tat-tat-tat!!

But these bullets seemed unable to strike anything solid, failing to cause any real damage.

The next second, the dust cleared, and a strange sound gradually emanated from the mud creature's mouth. "@#！￥！@#！@！！"

It sounded like it was speaking, but it was completely incomprehensible. Only Song Yiqing watched the mud creature anomaly quietly, for he understood the meaning behind its words.

'You must not disturb His rest!'

In the ghost cave script, "He" had a rather unique pronunciation. Because of this, he could directly discern that what this monster said referred to an existence similar to a god.

But this made things even stranger. If the so-called god was here, then how did the Jingjue Kingdom perish? What was the plague mentioned in the records?

Various doubts constantly plagued Song Yiqing. At the same time, he sensed a faint, almost imperceptible presence approaching from outside the Demon Tower.

This presence was much stronger than the mud creature.

[Challenge Task: Kill the Flesh Bodhisattva to receive an SS-rank reward!]

[What the hell is this thing? How can it transform into a human, and even ignore bullets??]

[This thing seems to have human intelligence; it's a terrifying creature!!]

[However, I don't think everyone needs to worry too much. Look at how calm Song Yiqing is!! He's not afraid at all!]

[It's true. Usually, if Song Yiqing looks like this, it means there's definitely no danger!]

[As expected! Strength is the only factor for traversing the forbidden area; it's the only useful thing!!]

[But this is only the first floor. According to previous calculations, there are at least thirty floors here. If it gets more dangerous as we go up, I think even with Song Yiqing's ancient martial arts skills, it might be a bit dangerous!]

[But I'm quite curious! How did Zhang Qilin get up there? If he wanted to pass through here, he would have had to fight the monsters, right? Unless he has some unique method to avoid combat?]

[You're right! That's true. If Zhang Qilin is still alive, then he most likely mastered this method!]

Meanwhile, on the live stream screen, the mud creature anomaly continued to approach Song Yiqing and the others. But at this critical moment, the door suddenly opened!!

Bang!! A much stronger gust of wind swept across the area, and the mud creature anomaly's attention was instantly drawn to it.

"@！#！#！@！！" It spoke similar words, and its hostility grew even stronger.

The entity that appeared at the door twisted the tentacles on its body and let out a hoarse, eerie voice. "Song Yiqing, I've finally found you."

"..." Song Yiqing looked at the figure at the door—Guo Xueyan, who had a human shape but was covered in one-inch long tentacles, with a large chunk of flesh missing from her chest. He was silent for a moment.

He had just recalled where he had sensed this familiar aura before—once from the Rat Men, and another time when he first encountered the Flood Dragon Python.

Since she was just a passerby, Song Yiqing naturally hadn't paid much attention to her. But now, seeing her transformed into a strange monster, he had to take it seriously.

Fatty, standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim, "What the hell!! Guo Xueyan?? Captain of the Luohang Expedition Team?? Didn't she die already? How did she become this ghostly mess? What the hell happened here?"

As he exclaimed, he noticed a glance from Song Yiqing. "Hmm?"
