Beast Tide! Shadow of Death Descends!

To think so many awakeners had died at the same time. Even Liu Yan could not help but feel some fear.

The Tower was filled with danger. He couldn't underestimate those mutant beasts.

He wondered how Li Cheng was doing.

Liu Yan quickly ran toward the north.

Sure enough, he saw a few people lying on the ground, as dead as corpses could be. On top of that, a few wild wolves biting and tearing at them.

But from the looks of it, they didn't seem to be from Li Cheng's team. Rather, they seemed to be one of the four people who left Wang Qing's team!

Even at night, Liu Yan's vision was still very good. With Spirit Vision, he could see everything around him clearly.

At such a close distance, he looked around and saw that four people had died, as expected. They were all from Wang Qing's team.

What kind of beast was so powerful that it could bite four people to death at the same time?

"Eh? Isn't that Liu Yan who got lost?" A voice shouted from the tree.

"It does seem so."

"Hey, come up quickly! There are mutant beasts down there! Hurry up!"

A few people were shouting from the tree.

Just as Liu Yan was about to raise his head, a figure had already silently landed beside him.

"Liu Yan! You're still alive, I thought you were killed by the mutant beast!" A soft body immediately fell into Liu Yan's arms.

It was Yang Zhi, whom Liu Yan had saved!

"Let's not talk about anything else for now. Mutant beasts have surrounded this place. Let's go quickly!

Liu Yan didn't doubt her words and immediately jumped onto the tree.

As expected, Li Cheng's team was hiding well. Li Cheng was among the members in the trees, and the moment he saw Liu Yan, he punched him, "You brat, where did you go? I've already formed rescue teams to look for you twice! I thought you were dead!"

Liu Yan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Li Cheng was such an honest man, a sharp contrast to Wang Qing.

In his entire life, Liu Yan had never seen anyone as kind as this guy.

"I'm fine. I'm going to look for the entrance to the second floor."

"Find the entrance to the second floor? Are you crazy? Even surviving for seven days on the first floor is a huge problem!"

Just as Liu Yan was about to reply, the smart wristbands of the awakeners suddenly rang.

[Attention! The Tower guardian mutant beast has appeared! ]

[Attention! A beast tide is coming! Please survive!]

[Notice: The list of all survivors will be announced now. All surviving awakeners, please form teams as soon as possible! ]

After listening to the broadcast from the smart Wristband, most of the awakeners' faces turned pale.

They looked at the list that was rolling and watched as lines of names quickly turned gray. Those who were once classmates and friends were now only gray names. God knows if their bodies were even complete.

Perhaps, it would be their turn soon.

Although their strength had improved a little during this period and they could hunt mutant beasts in teams now, with their current strength, it was extremely difficult and dangerous for them to hunt mutant beasts alone.

And that was only in terms of ordinary mutant beasts.

Word had it that the Tower guardian mutant beasts were much stronger than mutant beasts of the same level.

For a moment, most people were in despair.

Let alone entering the Tower's second floor, they were already content to be able to leave this place alive.

"What should we do, Brother Cheng? The heavens want us to die!"

"Yeah, Brother Cheng, can we run? I, I don't want to die!"

"Brother Cheng, please think of something!"

Everyone started to make a ruckus.

Li Cheng's face was also pale. A beast tide was coming, and there were already a few mutant beasts circling under their feet.

"That mutant beast that was covered with poison was eaten by another mutant beast. Although that mutant beast died very quickly, the poison effect was lost. The other mutant beasts are very strong," Li Cheng said helplessly, "Even if we run, where can we escape to? The entire Tower is filled with danger."

For a moment, the faces of the awakeners turned bitter, and they could only hope that the mutant beasts did not know how to climb trees.

Meanwhile, Liu Yan sat on a branch and looked around with his Spirit Vision. There were at least a hundred level 1 mutant beasts, twenty level 2 mutant beasts, and even level 3 mutant beasts nearby...

So many! This was quite troublesome even for Liu Yan, and simply a disaster for the group!

The mutant beasts didn't seem to have noticed them immediately, which gave them a chance to catch their breath.

The darkness of the night was not in their favor either.

No matter what, it would be best if they could at least survive until daytime.

"I've never heard the instructor say that there would be a beast tide. Why are we so unlucky?"

"It's over, it's over."

Complaints sounded.

"Don't panic!" Li Cheng said, "If we form a team like we usually do, we still have a chance to defend against the beast tide!"

Liu Yan's heart wavered. He didn't want to harm these people, but he didn't plan to help them either. He first had to survive.

At this moment, Yang Zhi suddenly leaned on Liu Yan's shoulder. She wrapped her arms around his arm and said in a soft voice, "Liu Yan, let's form a team together, okay? I know you're very strong. After all, you were able to escape from Wang Qing's hands. Wang Qing is dead, but you're not injured at all. You're definitely no ordinary person, so can you bring me along? If... if you're like them and want my body... I can..."

In the dark, Yang Zhi's soft and bouncy chest pressed against Liu Yan's arm.

Liu Yan was also a man. He immediately had a reaction, and his face couldn't help but turn red.

Yang Zhi's voice was very soothing. No wonder Wang Qing and the others were so obsessed with her.

However, Liu Yan knew why he had come to the Tower. Bringing Yang Zhi along meant that the risk he would face would increase exponentially. Moreover, he had to enter the second floor as soon as possible. How was he going to move around with her?

"I'm sorry, I have no intentions of forming teams."

Li Cheng was still in the mood to joke, "He must have awakened the talent of staying single."

"He's just a piece of trash. Up until now, he probably hasn't even killed a single mutant beast, and you're still hoping to form a team with him? It's better to form a team with us," Someone said.

"We've been looking for him for two days now, and God knows where he was hiding. If it wasn't for brother Cheng, we wouldn't have wasted so much effort!"

"That's right, this kid can really hide."

Yang Zhi frowned, "He saved me from a group of mutant green pythons. How can he be useless? You must be mistaken."

"You saw him kill the mutant beasts?"

This... Yang Zhi didn't seem to see it either.

"I think he doesn't want to form a team because he found a place to hide. To think he even shamelessly boasted that he wants to go to the second floor. Who would believe him? Even survival is a problem for him!"

"That's right!"

Liu Yan didn't quibble.

A mutant beast's howl interrupted their conversation.

The densely packed Tower guardian mutant beasts rushed over, and the scene was very intimidating. There was no lack of mutant beasts that could climb trees here. A large number of mutant beasts discovered their traces and rushed straight toward them!

Some of the awakeners who had just agreed to form a team to resist the mutant beasts and survive had already forgotten their promise and were frantically fleeing into the distance!

Li Cheng was ready for battle. This time, he was probably not far from death. He even began to regret his decision to enter the tower.

Seeing that Liu Yan was not willing to form a team, Yang Zhi could only retreat to a higher tree to hide.

However, Liu Yan grabbed Li Cheng's hand, "Wait a moment."

"What's the matter?" Li Cheng looked at him in surprise.

"Brother Cheng, if you can make it out of the tower alive, I have a favor to ask of you," Liu Yan pleaded.

"Just say the word," Li Cheng said seriously.

"I want you to protect my sister, Qingxue. She's not dead. Protect her. I'll come back to save her as soon as possible."

"You really want to enter the second floor?" Li Cheng seemed to have realized something and gasped.

"Yes," Liu Yan nodded.

"Alright! I promise you!"

Seeing that the mutant beasts were about to climb up the tree, Liu Yan suddenly did the exact opposite of everyone else and leaped down!
