35: Chapter 35 Wild Animal Attack
"Oh, oh, I'll go then." Tao Mumu was clearly reluctant... but she had no choice.
After Tao Mumu left, Peppa suddenly leaped onto Mu Cheng's right shoulder and said very seriously,
"Kid, there's a large batch of zombies in the West!"
Mu Cheng couldn't quite believe that simple sentence and asked,
"Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Peppa was serious one second, but was fast asleep and snoring the next.
What the hell, are you sure you're not joking? Would it kill you to be serious for a bit? You're great, just suddenly falling asleep like that...
"Fine! I'll head over there." Mu Cheng thought about it; he was bored anyway, so heading over wasn't a big deal.
No sooner said than done... Mu Cheng headed toward the west of Xinning City at high speed!
Just as he was getting close... a hidden prompt suddenly appeared.
[A large batch of zombies and wild animals are ten kilometers ahead. Level unknown, quantity unknown. Please prioritize safety!]
"So it's true... I must get there as soon as possible." Hearing this, Mu Cheng accelerated even further.
"Your brain really was kicked by a donkey; you can clearly fly... why do you insist on running?" Peppa suddenly piped up again.
"I just forgot."
Mu Cheng was quite embarrassed and quickly stopped... suddenly, he released his Purple Cloud Wings and soared into the sky.
These Purple Cloud Wings were also a type of Transcendent Martial Arts. After Mu Cheng comprehended the strongest Transcendent Martial Arts, many, many others...
Seemed to be engraved in his mind.
As expected, his speed increased significantly...
Soon, Mu Cheng was spotted by the people of the gelatinous tooth.
"Everyone look, something seems to be flying over."
"It's a person... there shouldn't be any danger, right?"
"Are you an idiot? Regardless of whether there's danger, report it first!"
...Clearly, the gelatinous tooth were being diligent.
"Where is your Regiment Leader?" Mu Cheng asked immediately upon descending from the sky.
Yang Dali had already rushed over by then. "The Regiment Leader is in secluded cultivation to break through to Fifth-Order Ability. Did Regiment Leader Mu discover something?"
"Yeah, a large batch of zombies and wild animals are approaching. Order everyone to prepare for battle." Mu Cheng didn't waste any words; after speaking, he stared intently at the front of the city wall.
"Boss, is this guy's brain sick? Besides, why should we listen to him?" The Buck-toothed Man nearby was clearly unconvinced and cautioned carefully.
"You brat, is it your place to speak? Hurry up and get the brothers ready for battle."
Although Yang Dali seemed a bit slow, he hadn't forgotten the gelatinous tooth's arrangements...
So even if Mu Cheng was joking, he had to take it seriously!
The people of the gelatinous tooth reacted very quickly. Within a short while, at least a thousand people were ready on the city wall.
Yang Dali was also beside Mu Cheng, staring intently at the front.
As time passed, Mu Cheng's serious gaze put immense pressure on the people of the gelatinous tooth.
Everyone remained on high alert.
"They're here, it's wild animals." Peppa suddenly woke up and spoke while staring straight ahead.
[This piglet can talk? Doesn't one need Seventh-Order strength to speak? Could its strength be at the Seventh-Order?]
Hearing Yang Dali's inner thoughts, Mu Cheng could clearly guess that he had indeed put effort into studying the high-tech bracelet.
"Everyone, be careful!" Mu Cheng suddenly spoke up.
"Whoa!!! Regiment Leader Mu, you gave me a huge fright." Yang Dali was clearly startled...
Sure enough... a dense mass of things appeared ahead, rapidly closing in.
"Mumu, call a hundred of the ladies over to West City. I'm afraid these guys won't be able to hold out." Mu Cheng still felt uneasy and sent a message to Tao Mumu.
Tao Mumu replied quickly. "Got it, I've already arranged for the ladies to head over. It'll take about ten minutes. Should I also call Sister Yuxuan and Sister Na?"
"Just in case, call them over!" Mu Cheng thought for a moment... then finally decided to have them both come.
The situation ahead soon became clear; it was indeed wild animals. Elephants the size of truck heads were leading the way.
The wild buffalo were also terrifyingly large, along with hippos, tigers, lions, wolves, and so on... over five thousand in total.
"I want to go home, I'm quitting."
"How are we supposed to fight this? Isn't this just sending us to our deaths? I'm not fighting, my mom is calling me home for dinner."
"Fight my ass... survival is more important."
...Before it even began, at least half of the gelatinous tooth's people had already left.
"Damn it, they're all cowards... The Regiment Leader is still in seclusion, what should we do?" Yang Dali was clearly very angry.
Mu Cheng said calmly, "Hold out for ten minutes and wait for the people from Menglou Pavilion to arrive!"
Others might not know, but Mu Cheng was well aware that such a large batch of wild animals was actually just being spooked.
The culprit behind it was naturally the zombie army. Simply put, they were the ones who did this, using the wild animals as cannon fodder.
"Ten minutes shouldn't be a problem. Brothers, follow me!" Yang Dali leaped down from the city wall.
Many people quickly followed suit...
"Half of them ran before it even started; I reckon these people aren't up to snuff." Peppa suddenly remarked.
Mu Cheng observed and said, "Can't you say something nice? Why aren't they up to snuff?"
"If they aren't, they aren't. I, Grandpa Peppa, have experienced more battles than you've walked roads, so please don't question Grandpa Peppa's eye for people." Peppa said solemnly.
Mu Cheng didn't pay any more attention and instead carefully observed the front...
Sure enough, just as Peppa said, the gelatinous tooth had lost before they even began, and they lost thoroughly.
Dead, wounded, or fled... aside from Yang Dali, there was almost no one left on the scene who could fight.
"The gelatinous tooth really does have issues; not even five minutes in and there are only about three hundred people left." Mu Cheng found it hard to believe.
But seeing was believing... he had to believe it.
"Regiment Leader Mu... what should we do now?" the Buck-toothed Man beside him suddenly asked.
As a top student, researcher, and PhD... he indeed didn't need to go to the battlefield, but he did need to provide ideas.
"What can I do? Out with the old, in with the new. Hold on for another three minutes; those remaining should all be the elites of the gelatinous tooth." Mu Cheng said unhurriedly.
Actually, he wanted to go down and help, but thinking of the current issues within the gelatinous tooth, he didn't make a move.
The reason was simple: let those who remain in the gelatinous tooth be the elites...
"Fine! We'll listen to Regiment Leader Mu." The Buck-toothed Man only today realized he wasn't bad himself, and naturally understood Mu Cheng's intention.
Exactly ten minutes later, less than three hundred people remained in the gelatinous tooth...
The hundred ladies from Menglou Pavilion arrived on time. After joining the battle, the situation was quickly reversed.
"Hey, these ladies are quite fierce." Even Peppa couldn't help but praise them.
Mu Cheng was triumphant. "Of course, look at who trained them."
