37: Chapter 37 Skull Island Arrives

"Seeing how pitiful you are, I'll help you look for it!"

Peppa suddenly leaped down from his shoulder and began searching on the giant gorilla's body.

Peppa found it quickly. "It's right where I'm standing. You guys figure it out yourself!"

"Let me do it!" Gu Na summoned a Wood Vine Person, and soon a treasure chest was smashed out.

This treasure chest was a bit different from the others; its area was at least ten times larger.

However, it was still thrown out by the Wood Vine Person...

"This treasure chest is a bit different..." Mu Cheng observed it, unable to figure it out.

He clearly remembered that in his past life, he had never seen such a treasure chest, nor had he even heard of it...

He was certain that this thing did not exist in his past life!

"What's so different about it? It's just equipment dropping from killing monsters anyway. Don't make such a fuss." Peppa returned to his shoulder once more.

He was very, very calm...

"This should be enough to eat for a few months. Let the young ladies handle it!" Gu Na said while operating her high-tech bracelet.

Soon, a dozen or so young ladies came up and began processing the giant gorilla...

"Cough, cough~ Aren't you going to open it and see what good things are inside? I think it shouldn't be worse than what's in a normal treasure chest," Mu Cheng suddenly coughed and said.

Actually, his intention was to let Lu Yuxuan open it. There was no helping it; with his own bad luck, he thought it was better to forget it!

"I'll do it!" Lu Yuxuan instantly understood Mu Cheng's meaning and went over to open the chest immediately.

Inside were mostly Energy Potions... stacked full from First-order to Fifth-Order, and there were also ten Sixth-order ones.

"Now these are good things. Brother Cheng, you shouldn't need these potions, right? I'll reluctantly help you take them."

Gu Na was very shrewd... Before Mu Cheng could even react, she had already pocketed everything.

"Brother Cheng indeed doesn't need the potions anymore, but still... Sister Na, at least leave one Sixth-order potion for me!" Lu Yuxuan suddenly chimed in.

Gu Na didn't care about that. "I don't believe you for a second. Don't I know that you don't need potions to level up either?"

"Um... who said I don't need them to level up?" Mu Cheng asked, quite speechless.

This is called not needing them? He clearly needed ten of them, okay?

"Yu Xuan said it, so could it be false? If you want potions, there are none... but there's a person, do you want her?" Gu Na blurted out subconsciously.

As soon as these words were spoken, Peppa suddenly burst out with a barrage of words.

"Kid, someone's offering herself for free and you don't want her? Or are you just incapable? I think you're probably just incapable!"

"To be honest, this girl is quite nice. Listen to your Grandpa Peppa and take her!"

"As the saying goes, it's better to act than to just feel. If you love, you must take action!"

"Shut up! If you don't speak, no one will think you're a mute!" Lu Yuxuan glared coldly, threatening him.

Peppa instantly cowered. "Big sister, I was wrong. You're a great person, please don't take it to heart."

“Pah~ What are we doing next?” Gu Na was also quite speechless.

She had just said it casually; she didn't expect such a mess to arise...

"What else can we do? Isn't there still a zombie army? Let's go back and wait!" Lu Yuxuan spoke with a bit of a huff.

It was obvious that she was jealous...

Without looking back, she released her Bloodline Energy Wings and quickly returned to the city wall.

"This... forget it, forget it. It's normal to have a little temper." Gu Na didn't think much of it and also released her Bloodline Energy Wings.

She soon returned to the city wall, and Mu Cheng couldn't worry about those things either... he followed her back.

Fortunately, he happened to see gelatinous tooth, who had just finished his secluded cultivation, which saved him from such an awkward situation.

"Cough, cough~ It seems Regiment Leader Du has already broken through to the Fifth-Order."

"I have indeed broken through to the Fifth-Order. I've heard about what happened... It's all my fault for not managing my subordinates well." gelatinous tooth did not deny it and went straight to the topic.

Gu Na, who was beside them, suddenly interjected, "This might not be a bad thing for gelatinous tooth."

Mu Cheng: "Yeah, as the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new. gelatinous tooth will get better in the future."

"Enough, enough. If you want to learn, go find Mumu! A hard battle is probably coming up next. Sister Na... call all the young ladies over. As for gelatinous tooth's people, go guard the west side!" Lu Yuxuan suddenly said very seriously.

At this moment, she was staring intently straight ahead...

"This... how about we call the City Lord?" gelatinous tooth was naturally unhappy when he heard this.

By now, he had also summarized two reasons for his failure: first, they had numbers but no strength; second, they still lacked actual combat experience.

Now that there was this opportunity, he naturally wouldn't give it up and leave.

"Leave fifty young ladies to guard the west side! Call all the others over to prepare for battle," Mu Cheng said after thinking it over.

He was naturally well aware of gelatinous tooth's problems. With this opportunity... letting them learn from the young ladies of Menglou Pavilion...

...might not be a bad thing!

Suddenly, the city wall began to vibrate slightly...

"Is there going to be another earthquake? Are they going to let us live? It can't really be an earthquake, can it?"

"What's going on? Another earthquake?"

"Everyone, look ahead! It seems like something is emerging."

...Instantly, everyone began to talk at once.

Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, a black mountain began to rise slowly, and a gloomy aura wafted over with it.

"It's Skeleton Island. Congratulations, you've been targeted." Peppa suddenly interjected.

Mu Cheng's curiosity instantly surged as he asked, "What do you mean? Can't you explain it more clearly?"

Regarding Skeleton Island, Mu Cheng naturally remembered it clearly; that was already the third year after the Global Survival descent.

As for its origin, he was indeed unclear, but he clearly remembered that the zombie army came from Skeleton Island.

He was indeed very curious; when the Global Survival first descended, where did the zombies come from if there was no Skeleton Island?

"I can't explain it clearly. This is a secret regarding the descent of Global Survival. Wait until you have enough strength to talk about it!" Peppa obviously knew a great deal.

But it didn't want to explain... and Mu Cheng had no way to make it!

"Fine. Sixth-order Zombies are not easy to deal with. We should think about what to do!" Lu Yuxuan also chimed in, setting aside her curiosity.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Cheng was about to ask her how she knew there were Sixth-order Zombies... when a new prompt suddenly appeared.

[Skeleton Island detected ahead. Sixth-order Zombie *1, Fifth-Order Zombie *10, Fourth-order Zombie *100, Third-order Zombie *1,000, Second-order Zombie *10,000, First-order Zombie *100,000.]

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Mu Cheng didn't have time to ask for the reason... and suddenly shouted out.

This sudden shout gave gelatinous tooth a big fright. "Um, Regiment Leader Mu... there doesn't seem to be any danger!"

Indeed, the situation now was quite quiet, which instantly made Mu Cheng very embarrassed... he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Peppa chimed in. "This guy is just like this, always making a fuss over nothing. Don't take it to heart, everyone."

Only then was the awkward atmosphere somewhat relieved, but suddenly it became very quiet, and the atmosphere... became very strange again.

"Now... are we going to take the initiative to attack?" Yang Dali, who was on the side, could no longer help but ask.
