106: Chapter 106 Discovering the Abnormalities of the Mist Castle

"This isn't right either, that little girl's strength is at the Great High Priest level... what secrets are hidden behind the Global Survival Game?" Mu Cheng was still very confused.

Although he didn't know how strong a Great High Priest was, it was obvious that once one surpassed the Ninth Order, they became a god.

Becoming a god meant eternity, an existence that could dominate the heavens and the earth...

"What the hell are you thinking about? Just focus on improving your strength." Seeing Mu Cheng distracted, Peppa slapped his head with a pig trotter.

"Mm-hmm, that's right, focus on improving your strength! You are the owner of the Devouring Bloodline; this world needs you." Su Qingyan released her Energy Wings and left.

She didn't say goodbye to Ren Xiaoxiao... nor did she say another word.

"I'm going back too. If anything happens later, go to the City Lord's Mansion to find her!" After saying this, Ren Xiaoxiao threw out a Rubik's cube.

A Talisman Array soon appeared, and she disappeared after entering it.

"Is it just over like this?" Tao Shuishui suddenly snapped out of it and asked.

Gu Na was also quite bewildered. "Probably. For now, let's head back first!"

One second it was a heated battle, and now it suddenly became quiet... it really was a bit hard to justify.

"Then what are we waiting for? By the way, Mumu, keep an eye on the permission status of Menglou Pavilion." After speaking, Mu Cheng released his Purple Cloud Wings and returned.

Tao Shuishui looked bewildered. "What's going on? Wasn't the Challenge Tournament sabotaged?"

"That head of yours, stop thinking about gossip all day." Gu Na didn't explain, released her Energy Wings, and also returned to Guangshen City.

Tao Mumu: "That woman is the City Lord, plus what she just said... forget it, figure it out yourself!"

Without finishing her sentence, she also followed and returned.

"I see, then I'll just wait for good news!" Tao Shuishui understood, but the others were already gone.

She hurriedly released her Energy Wings to keep up. "Wait for me!"

The group who had just returned to the mansion found that, just as Mu Cheng had said, Menglou Pavilion now had special permissions.

Fifth-floor hall.

"Brother Cheng, you really guessed it right, but... it seems this permission is a bit, well..." Tao Mumu stammered.

The so-called special permission was, to put it bluntly, just a back-door entry. In this big city full of talents, it was naturally looked down upon.

Mu Cheng asked speechlessly, "Can you be more specific?"

"It means pulling strings, so these special permissions are looked down upon," Gu Na explained.

"That's it? I thought it was something else." Mu Cheng didn't take it to heart.

It's normal for strength not to be recognized; he just needed an opportunity in the future to become famous in a single battle.

"It really doesn't seem like much; just keeping a low profile will do," Peppa agreed.

Tao Shuishui listened in a daze. Although she was very confused, she endured and kept listening...

"True, it doesn't seem to have much of an impact," Tao Mumu also agreed.

At that moment, a hidden prompt appeared before Mu Cheng's eyes.

[Warning! Warning! 719 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds remaining... holdout mode will officially begin. Please prepare accordingly.]

Before Mu Cheng could react, Gu Na suddenly spoke up. "By the way, Brother Cheng... I heard that in about a month, Marine Monsters will attack, though I don't know if it's true."

Marine Monsters are much stronger than those on land. Even at the same level, Marine Monsters can win decisively.

And it's a complete crushing defeat...

"Marine Monsters? I'm afraid things... won't be as simple as imagined," Tao Mumu said slowly.

Peppa: "Of course it's not simple. When Marine Monsters attack, there's usually at least a Ninth Order Peak existence among them."

"Ninth Order Peak... that is indeed troublesome, but for a big city like this, defending against it shouldn't be difficult." Mu Cheng didn't think much about the hidden prompt, nor did he take it to heart yet.

"Brother Cheng... the arrival of Marine Monsters is very troublesome; it's equivalent to a beast tide breaking out," Gu Na said hurriedly.

Peppa patiently explained, "Beast tides are also graded. A D-rank beast tide requires one Ninth Order Peak to preside over it, C-rank requires two, B-rank requires four, and A-rank requires at least ten."

"As for the highest S-rank, adult Iron-Armored Dragons will appear... and not just anyone can handle them."

"It would have been fine twenty-seven years ago, but now, let alone Ninth Order Peak experts, even Ninth Order experts can be counted on one hand."

"So, no matter the rank of the beast tide, it is devastating for big cities."

"This... are you sure you're not joking?" Mu Cheng had never heard of this in his past life and asked somewhat skeptically.

Tao Mumu explained while researching, "Brother Cheng... it's really as Little Piglet said. Even the smallest D-rank beast tide has as many as a hundred thousand monsters, and the highest S-rank is counted in the hundreds of millions."

"This... alright then! But I feel like at this stage, a high-level beast tide shouldn't appear," Mu Cheng said, forced to believe it.

Whether it was Skeleton Island or a beast tide, relative to this Global Survival Game, it was just as Mu Cheng said.

The strength appearing... wouldn't be very strong, but it wouldn't be very weak either.

"True, the essence of this world now is, to put it bluntly, to constantly weed people out. A large-scale beast tide shouldn't be likely," Peppa also thought so.

However, even so, the beast tide wasn't on land but from the ocean... naturally, the situation would be more serious.

"A beast tide in the ocean... there really are many variables," Gu Na suddenly remarked.

Peppa: "It can't be helped. There are many, many monsters in the ocean, so of course there are many, many variables."

"Regardless... let's take it one step at a time! For now, we should let the ladies improve their strength and also prepare well for recruitment," Mu Cheng said, not bothering with those things.

Tao Mumu suddenly said, "Brother Cheng... improving the ladies' strength is one thing, but recruitment will likely be very difficult."

"An organization that pulled strings... it seems we really can only wait until later to talk about it." After speaking, Peppa lay on the sofa and fell fast asleep.

"Alright, alright! Then we can only start by improving the ladies' strength... it seems recruitment plans will have to wait until after the beast tide." Mu Cheng also expressed his helplessness.

But what could be done now? He could only take it one step at a time.

"Brother Cheng... will the beast tide really come? Why do I feel like you know something?" Gu Na suddenly asked tentatively.

Coming all the way from Ning City, although it was full of dangers, it had been quite smooth.

Having followed Mu Cheng for a long time, she naturally noticed something unusual...

"Just make the arrangements! I'm tired and going to rest." Mu Cheng immediately made an excuse and went straight back to his room.

"I probably smoothed it over!" Finally breathing a deep sigh of relief, he lay down on the large bed.

Outside.

"Sister Na... Brother Cheng wouldn't really know something, would he?" Tao Mumu asked slowly.

She only asked after thinking back seriously.
