Chapter 67: 067 Survival Mode

Sitting on the spot to rest for a while, the group found another Level 10 Sea Beast.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes as he looked at the strange-looking seal before him.

"The weak point of this thing is under its belly. Dao Ke, create an opportunity!"

Dao Ke nodded; his role wasn't to deal damage.

It was to work with the middle-aged man to create opportunities for the mage and Zhang Bei.

This was what he should be doing.

As the middle-aged man approached, the seal, covered in bone spurs, let out a cry.

Its huge tail swung toward the middle-aged man.

Green light emerged from Su Xiao Xiao's body, and a protection shield immediately covered the middle-aged man.

The tail, carrying immense power, struck the middle-aged man.

Cracks appeared on the protection shield, visible to the naked eye, but it managed to withstand the attack.

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and gave Su Xiao Xiao an appreciative look.

Golden light erupted from his entire body, and the shield in his hand suddenly doubled in size.

He forcefully jammed the shield into the ground, and a thin golden line drew the seal's attention.

Zhang Bei maintained his steady, one-by-one attacks; although they couldn't cause much damage,

they kept the seal's attacks interrupted.

Suddenly, a sound came from everyone's wristwatches at the same time.

【Death toll detected to be over half, Survival Mode officially activated!】

As the sound fell, the seal being attacked suddenly stopped.

Its entire body was shrouded in red light, and the bone spurs grew visibly longer.

Zhang Bei's expression turned solemn; this prompt was different from the previous ones.

Before, it could be said that it was just an increase in difficulty.

But looking at the seal's changes, this thing's strength now likely far exceeded the limit that ordinary mercenaries could handle.

The red light soon faded, the seal's bone spurs bristled, and its eyes flashed with red light.

The shield held in front was easily overturned.

Zhang Bei took a deep breath: "Retreat!"

The middle-aged man also knew that the current change was far from what they could withstand.

He pulled Dao Ke and ran toward the back.

The mage summoned a fireball, blocking it in front of the seal.

Her figure also retreated rapidly.

Zhang Bei put away his long bow and drew his Tachi.

"You stay back!"

Su Xiao Xiao nodded and hurriedly shrank to the back.

She waved a hand, and a light immediately covered the Tachi.

"Weapon Blessing, can increase sharpness!"

Zhang Bei nodded, his figure flickering as he quickly approached the seal.

The middle-aged man, halfway through running, changed his expression: "Come back quickly!"

Hearing the voice, the mage and Dao Ke also stopped.

Seeing Zhang Bei's flickering figure, their expressions all changed.

The middle-aged man's face was uncertain, and then he sighed heavily.

"You guys go, I'm going to save him!"

The mage's gaze was gloomy: "No, this thing must have broken through Level 15 now; going back is just suicide!"

The middle-aged man smiled: "Don't worry, I don't have such a short life!"

Dao Ke said nothing, turned around, and walked toward the back.

Although they were just ordinary mercenaries, they would never abandon a teammate!

Niu Xuanming: 【Holy crap, are there really such fools?】

Qiu Xingwen: 【There are too few such fools!】

Li Qinqin: 【I love this middle-aged man so much!】

However, the footsteps of the middle-aged man and the others stopped halfway.

Zhang Bei pulled the Tachi out of the seal's skull.

He casually wiped the blood off it.

Seeing the dumbfounded expressions of the middle-aged man and the others, he scratched his head.

"Why haven't you guys left yet?"

Dao Ke's eyes were fixed tightly on Zhang Bei: "Are you Langzi?"

Zhang Bei nodded: "It's me!"

The mage suddenly screamed: "Ah ah ah, Langzi!"

The middle-aged man stood on the spot, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Niu Xuanming: 【Hahaha, the middle-aged man's expression is too funny.】

Wu Yingcai: 【Middle-aged man: Langzi?】

Ye Fan: 【The middle-aged man is completely stunned, right?】

The middle-aged man looked at the seal's corpse and suddenly laughed: "Made me worry for nothing, let's go, let's go!"

Zhang Bei's figure flashed and blocked the middle-aged man: "Any interest in joining Nantian?"

The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Bei in confusion: "Aren't we already in Nantian now?"

Zhang Bei shook his head: "I'm about to form a new unit, any interest?"

The middle-aged man was still hesitating, while the mage beside him had eyes glowing green, pinching the middle-aged man's arm.

Dao Ke was also somewhat moved; that was a Nantian combat unit!

Joining it meant an infinite supply of Crystal Cores and a rapid increase in strength.

And for such a long time, Nantian's casualty rate had always been zero!

Looking at the expressions of the two beside him, the middle-aged man finally nodded: "Good!"

Zhang Bei immediately laughed, turned his head, and looked at Su Xiao Xiao: "Take them to find Xiao Cheng, reserve a captain spot!"

"Good!"

Zhang Bei reached out and took out a Crystal Core, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

These few people were indeed not bad; although their strength was a bit lacking, since the Nantian Settlement, improving strength wasn't very difficult.

At least under Xiao Cheng's devilish training, there were very few whose strength was too poor.

Returning to the settlement, Zhang Bei went to see Jin Xin for the first time.

As the current controller of the base and Zhang Bei's strategist, Jin Xin's advice was crucial at such times.

The little girl also knew why Zhang Bei had returned, and she reached out to move a pile of data onto the table.

"This is essentially an increase in difficulty, but it's also the last time."

As she spoke, Jin Xin pulled out a document and handed it over.

Zhang Bei reached out and opened it; the entire document recorded various things that had happened in the last ten minutes or so.

And what Zhang Bei cared about most was the point regarding the Fierce Beasts.

Three minutes after the wristwatch prompt, a snow mountain in the north suddenly collapsed.

A Giant Ape ten meters tall walked out of the snow mountain, and then its whereabouts became unknown.

Five minutes after the wristwatch prompt, in the eastern forest, a Saber-toothed Tiger eight meters tall appeared.

Likewise, its whereabouts became unknown.

Ten minutes after the wristwatch prompt, a huge Green Bird over a hundred meters long flew over the Qingshan Settlement.

Watching Zhang Bei finish reading the entire document, Jin Xin then explained.

"According to speculation, this Survival Mode is very likely releasing all the Fierce Beasts we couldn't see before."

Hearing this, Zhang Bei frowned tightly.

These Fierce Beasts had never appeared before everyone's eyes.

Jin Xin had also speculated that with the increase in difficulty, these super-strong Fierce Beasts would eventually appear.

Otherwise, the Giant Turtle summoned by Zhang Bei couldn't be explained at all.

Unexpectedly, now that time had only just passed the halfway point, all these Fierce Beasts had been released.

Zhang Bei thought for a moment, reached out, took out the token, and tapped it casually.

The surrounding space suddenly fluctuated.

A fiery red figure appeared before Zhang Bei in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the aggrieved expression of the Suanyu, Zhang Bei chose to ignore it.

Just as he was about to reach out and pick up the Suanyu, the space fluctuated again. ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
