313: Fight the Beast Tide (Part 2)!

Creak—

With an untimely creak, the door to the conference hall suddenly opened, and a group of strangers entered.

The two leading them were the only two surviving female members of Shancheng University's student council.

"Mayor Jia, the beast tide... there are so many beasts!" the woman in a third-tier gray battle suit said first.

"***, you first, how many beasts are in this tide?" The middle-aged mayor straightened his slightly disheveled Zhongshan suit, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Reporting, Mayor, based on what our two teams encountered, this beast tide is unprecedented in scale, its numbers should have exceeded a million."

"A million-level beast tide!?"

At this moment, not only the middle-aged mayor, but also other government officials of the alliance, were so frightened that they quickly stood up, their expressions panicked.

"**, ***, where are the other members of your team?" The middle-aged man stepped forward, asking nervously.

"Besides me and **, everyone else sacrificed themselves, including the security officer and the two captains, all of them perished in the beast tide!"

"..."

For a time, the scene fell into a dead silence.

The two elite teams from Shancheng University's student council were almost completely wiped out.

"Then, what was your final conclusion from this beast tide?"

While such a blow was significant, it couldn't compare to the impact brought by a million-strong beast tide.

"Mayor, after our team went deep into the beast tide, we found that the direction of these beast tides all pointed directly towards Shancheng City, and the scale of the beast tide was still gathering."

"Could it be that our Shancheng is... doomed?" Cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged mayor's forehead, vaguely sensing that things were starting to go off track.

If the million-strong beast tide continued to gather, then upon reaching Shancheng City, it was very likely to break through the ten-million level.

Ten million beasts!?

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the middle-aged mayor looked around and found that the other department heads were in the same situation as him.

Everyone's face was pale, and cold sweat dripped constantly from their foreheads.

Then, ** slowly walked towards the podium in the hall, looked around, and said: "Next, our Shancheng City will face an unprecedented beast tide defense battle. On behalf of the fallen Shancheng University student council president, I declare that our Shancheng University will fight to the end, pouring out our last drop of blood, never retreating."

**'s eyes sparkled with an unusually bright light, sweeping over everyone present, and they all looked up one by one following her gaze, equally determined.

Finally, **'s gaze lingered on Chen Fan and his group.

"Sirs, please!"

Under **'s sincere tone, the six people including Chen Fan remained unmoved; they exchanged glances, and all saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Since Chen Fan didn't speak, the others naturally didn't dare to.

"And you, who are you?"

As if realizing it belatedly, the middle-aged mayor's sharp gaze turned towards Chen Fan and his group.

"Us?"

Chen Fan glanced at these cultivators, who were at most Universe Rank three or four, then assessed himself, smiling, and said: "We are merely passersby, just passing through Shancheng City to take a look."

"You are not worth mentioning!"

Chen Fan's understated tone made everyone present a bit displeased.

However, the immense aura emanating from them was awe-inspiring.

The reason was simple.

The aura emanating from Chen Fan and his group was clearly above the Universe Rank.

Among them, the auras emanating from Wang Teng, Ma Liang, and others had already reached the peak of the Universe Rank.

Even the mayor, who was the strongest combatant present at Universe Rank four, felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Gentlemen, please don't joke, with your strength, how could you just be passersby?"

As a mayor, the middle-aged man reacted very quickly, and his tone shifted incredibly smoothly.

Chen Fan was noncommittal about this, merely giving him a faint glance.

"No, you are not passersby, you are our saviors!"

"If it weren't for your help, *** and I would have certainly perished in the beast tide, leaving no corpse behind."

Suddenly, one of the girls spoke loudly, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

She was speaking the truth; if it weren't for the sudden intrusion of Chen Fan and others.

Perhaps the two elites of their student council would have also directly perished in the beast tide, meeting a tragic end.

However, Chen Fan's appearance gave this precarious Shancheng City a glimmer of hope.

The reason was simple:

The combat power of Chen Fan and his companions was comparable to cultivators of the ten-million level.

In an instant, tens of thousands of beasts were directly dealt with, with monsters littering the fields, one after another.

Such combat power, even on this Blue Star, was truly rare.

What's more, Chen Fan and his group were not just one person!

Six incredibly powerful cultivators were an unprecedented help to Shancheng City.

Especially now, facing the beast tide crisis, they needed strong combat power to support them.

Chen Fan remained silent, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The hall immediately fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After about ten minutes, a cold electronic voice sounded in Chen Fan's ear—

"[Mission One: Assist Shancheng City in successfully repelling the beast tide. Success reward: 1000 points. Failure penalty: Expulsion from the current trial world.]"

The same electronic voice sounded in the ears of Wang Teng and the other five, one by one.

Hearing this sudden mission prompt, everyone's expressions changed.

With rewards, there's motivation!!

"Actually, we didn't want to get too involved in this beast tide matter, but—"

Chen Fan paused mid-sentence, picked up an unopened bottle of Kangshui Fu from the table, twisted it open, and took a sip: "Since we've arrived in this city, we'll help you hold them off for a while."

"Everyone, no problem, right!"

Saying this, Chen Fan looked back at Wang Teng and the others.

The six strong men all smiled knowingly, everything was unspoken.

"** and ***, you two can generally describe the scale, direction, speed, and strength of these beast tides."

After speaking, Chen Fan pulled out a chair and sat down unceremoniously.

The other five followed suit, all sitting and listening attentively.

Although they had learned quite a bit about this trial world in the Virtual Universe.

But how could their understanding compare to that of these natives!?

So, everyone listened carefully.

"This time, our two teams and the president's team advanced together, wanting to explore the distribution of exotic beasts in the surroundings, but midway, we found that the direction of these monsters was very strange, so we chose to go deep into it to find out..."

On the stage, ** and *** were recounting these events in detail.

Below the stage, Chen Fan and his companions, along with the mayor's group, were listening intently, not daring to miss a single word.

Especially Chen Fan and the others, they had already suffered from monster disasters on Earth.

Unexpectedly, their current trial mission was also to resist a beast tide.

After so many years, encountering a beast tide again, everyone felt quite emotional!

Truly, the wheel of fortune turns!
