56: Chapter 56 A Brief Silence

Fifth-Order Zombies were crucial for Mu Cheng to increase his strength, even if there weren't a thousand of them.

However, for him, it was still an opportunity for further improvement, so he immediately released his Black Vine...

It could devour sixteen Fifth-Order Zombies at once, taking about a minute.

Although there were an astonishing five hundred Fifth-Order Zombies, Mu Cheng had already told everyone to run immediately if they encountered a Fifth-Order Zombie, without any hesitation.

Of course, the white-clad gelatinous tooth and Jiang Nanbei on the city wall also began to act, targeting the Fifth-Order Zombies.

Under Mu Cheng's instructions, they wouldn't kill them, at most they would rescue people. If they were close to Mu Cheng,

they would just throw them over to him.

"This should be fine. Little Piglet, you go help too. I need more Fifth-Order Zombies." Mu Cheng thought for a moment... and decided to send out information again just to be safe.

"Gu Na, Shuishui, Mumu, you all come help too! Remember to throw the Fifth-Order Zombies to me; I need them to increase my power."

"No problem, I'll bring Dun Dun and Er Ha." Tao Mumu quickly replied.

In fact, they were nearby and soon saw three figures flying over.

Similarly, all three of them had already broken through to the Sixth-Order!

With the addition of the three of them, the white-clad gelatinous tooth and Jiang Nanbei also felt much more relaxed.

As for Dun Dun, it entered combat mode, its body becoming enormous, reaching an astonishing six meters.

It became extremely fierce, capable of swatting away a Fifth-Order Zombie with one paw.

Er Ha was the same, but its body wasn't as large, about four meters.

However, its appearance remained unchanged; it was still a Husky, looking very adorable.

Its combat power was also off the charts!

"These two guys are actually so strong." Mu Cheng was quite surprised.

Now, he wasn't worried about anything; he just needed to attack the five zombies from mid-air and devour them.

As time passed, the battle lasted for about half an hour. Although Mu Cheng hadn't broken through to the Sixth-Order,

he had already reached the peak of the Fifth-Order...

This was quite a pain; reaching the Fifth-Order peak required five hundred Fifth-Order Zombies, and breaking through to the Sixth-Order still required five hundred Fifth-Order Zombies.

However, he was quite satisfied with his greatly increased strength, reaching the Fourth-Tier Wanshi. His full-strength punch now,

could also shatter the void!

"Is this the power to shatter the void? It's indeed strong." Mu Cheng was also quite surprised.

What others needed Nine-Tier Wanshi to achieve, he had already accomplished at Fourth-Tier Wanshi.

If he continued to improve in the future... he would undoubtedly be an existence defying the heavens.

"You're just a weakling. Do you believe Grandpa Peppa can deal with you with just a flick of his trotters?" Peppa suddenly blurted out.

But Mu Cheng just didn't believe in such evil. Since the zombies were already dealt with, he naturally decided to teach Peppa a lesson.

He clenched his right hand into a fist and punched Peppa with full force. "Very good! Let me see your strength."

Although he could indeed shatter space, ultimately... he couldn't maintain his coolness for more than three seconds.

"With your current strength, you're truly overestimating yourself!" Peppa really just moved its trotters.

Mu Cheng was sent flying at least a hundred meters, directly spitting fresh blood... his whole body felt like it was falling apart.

"Pah~ Do you really have to be so ruthless?" Fortunately, he had the Strongest Body Refining Technique. Although he was seriously injured,

his recovery speed was also astonishing. He recovered to his peak in less than a minute and was full of vigor!

Peppa: "You brought it upon yourself, can you blame me?"

It was indeed Mu Cheng's own fault... but how could he have known Peppa would be so strong? Otherwise, he would never have attacked.

At this moment, the surroundings were piled high with zombie corpses. The people from Xinning City... some died, some were injured, and the losses were quite severe.

At this moment, Mu Cheng suddenly reacted. "This... the losses are too great! What's going on?"

"Brother Cheng... the losses this time are considerable. Conservatively, over a hundred young ladies, and the Alliance Army also suffered significant losses." At this moment, Tao Mumu suddenly landed beside Mu Cheng to report the situation.

"What on earth have you been doing? How could there be so many losses?" Mu Cheng's temper flared instantly, and he cursed her.

Every young lady was cultivated with manpower and resources. Even losing one was like cutting off a piece of flesh...

Instantly, Tao Mumu cried, scolded to tears... feeling particularly wronged, she dared not look Mu Cheng directly in the eye.

"You bastard, are you even human? You made such a cute young lady cry." Peppa couldn't help but interject.

Mu Cheng still didn't soften. "There should be no more matters for the young ladies for now. After this, find out the reasons. I hope such a thing doesn't happen a second time."

After speaking... he released his Energy Wings and soared into the sky, returning to the city wall.

"Mumu, don't blame Brother Cheng for being heartless." In fact, Mu Cheng was just being stubborn.

Everyone... makes mistakes.

Getting arrogant with a little strength? That's definitely not allowed. The lesson must be extremely profound.

Tao Mumu also felt aggrieved. First, she was scolded by Gu Na... and after finally mustering the courage to report to Mu Cheng,

the result was still the same...

But she quickly wiped away her tears and cheered up quickly...

She also secretly vowed in her heart that she would never let such a thing happen again.

As time passed, besides the sound of dealing with zombie corpses, Skeleton Island became eerily quiet.

"Brother Cheng... it's too quiet now! And regarding Mumu's matter, I also made a mistake. I shouldn't have let her handle everything." Gu Na suddenly blurted out.

She wanted to manage it, but... these days were crucial for her breakthrough, so recruitment and other tasks fell to Tao Mumu.

"This is a lesson. Find out where the mistake was." Mu Cheng said coldly.

He probably guessed the reason, which should be the black gold armor he forged...

Although he usually didn't interfere, Menglou Pavilion was still his painstaking effort, so this time he had to see it through.

"Understood, understood." Gu Na felt incredibly wronged.

But sisterly affection runs deep, so what's a little scolding? She knew very well in her heart.

Mu Cheng's contribution was the greatest for Menglou Pavilion to be where it is today, so of course, with such a serious problem,

who wouldn't be angry?

Thinking back to that time... the Great Earthquake had the fewest losses, and even the first zombie siege seven days ago didn't result in the loss of a single young lady.

This undoubtedly... exposed the problems of Menglou Pavilion!

"I still say the same thing: I don't want to see something like today happen again." Mu Cheng emphasized again.

"It seems... Mumu was also scolded quite badly." Gu Na could tell that much.

However, she didn't blame Mu Cheng, nor did she have any reason to. Instead, she deeply reflected on herself...

"Pah~ You guy, forget it. In this situation... I'm also a bit confused." Peppa was also a little puzzled.

It wanted to say something, but it knew its place. A mistake was a mistake, and saying too much would still be wrong.

It might as well drop the matter...
