357 Withdraw! (1/2)
Wang Baole was confident about the prowess of his Eternal Fortress. That was also where he pinned his hopes on for this assessment. He felt that the other strongholds that the others had made were weak, while his was the only formidable one.
It was this thought that spurred him to participate and persevere until now, despite knowing that he didn't have the support of any faction. Now, to a certain extent, he was no longer someone who was empty-handed and falling behind others. As a result of individual wins and losses, he had already swiftly closed the gap between him and the others.
This is known as using a battle to feed the next! Wang Baole thought arrogantly as his confidence in eventually emerging victorious and becoming the mayor of the New Mars Region grew. He felt that he had a good chance, and he looked at the other zones with greed in his eyes. The factions supporting the two candidates Kong Dao and Li Yi had provided each of them with an exaggerated amount of resources.
The resources were so abundant that Wang Baole felt that they must have been loaded. As for the other candidates, they were visibly less well off. There were even two candidates who had suffered significant losses and were now struggling to make ends meet.
However, Wang Baole had his own difficulties as well. He faced a problem in never having enough resources. He made a rough estimation and concluded that in order to perfectly create his Eternal Fortress, he needed to own two or three families worth of resources by himself. That, however, didn't seem very practical or possible, as once someone was eliminated, people would definitely jump in to get a share of their resources.
Forget it. I'll go according to the original plan to fight. Even if I can't possess everything by myself, whatever they take away would still belong to me eventually. Wang Baole was in good spirits as he looked at the thousands of puppets who were busy at work, thinking about how he wouldn't have to fight so hard for the next Beast Tide. His stronghold was imperfect now, but it would definitely be ready for combat by the time the next Beast Tide arrived.
I feel good. Wang Baole patted his stomach and was about to snack when suddenly, in the Divine Armament Catacombs outside, a loud boom emerged.
The noise was louder than what was heard before. That surprised all the candidates, including Wang Baole. After all, according to the previous intervals, at least an hour would be given for everyone to recuperate from the previous Beast Tide. However, right now, it was barely half an hour since the fourth Beast Tide had passed, yet the fifth wave was beginning!
Was the tempo increased, or was it because we spent too much time during the fourth wave? Wang Baole took a deep breath and leaped up immediately onto the city walls. He hurriedly took a look, and what he saw frightened him.
In reality, not only Wang Baole was taken aback. The other candidates also responded similarly; they breathed rapidly, a torrent of emotions crashing in their hearts.
Not only had the present Beast Tide arrived sooner, but there were also ten Death Beasts with cultivations on the level of early-stage Core Formation realm in the crowd. They were in various sizes, and all looked distinct from each other. However, what was common was that a black flame was present in their eyes that seemed to be capable of burning anything and everything. The black flame caused the area around them to warp.
The ripples produced by the Core Formation realm beasts were very distinct as they spread in all directions. Behind them were more than a hundred giant corpses similar to the ones Wang Baole had slain previously. The smell of rotting flesh emanated in all directions, inducing one to puke while freezing them in fear. There were also numerous combat vehicles and birds that were flying in the sky, screaming shrilly.
That scene made Wang Baole, the other candidates, and even the live stream viewers form the Federation freeze with fear, and noisy discussions erupted.
”What a huge leap in difficulty! How are they supposed to resist it?”
”Gosh, there are actually such frightening ferocious beasts on Mars! What level of cultivation do they have?”
As the people from the Federation erupted in commotion, Wang Baole and the rest of the people in the New Mars Region looked extremely solemn. Without hesitation, Li Yi and Kong Dao gave up on trying to tidy up. They disregarded the consequences and turned their efforts to build the best defenses instead, as they knew clearly that this current Beast Tide would very likely lead to the elimination of several candidates!
Right now, there were only seven candidates remaining!
Just as everyone was locked in a state of seriousness, and Wang Baole was breathing rapidly, a ferocious beast in the form of a giant winged bear—that seemed to be rotting on the exterior, yet equipped with the combat power of a Core Formation realm cultivator—suddenly flew into the sky at high speed. Even before anyone could react, it crashed into the zone belonging to one of the candidates like a shooting star.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
