CHAPTER 959: CHAPTER 957: RI TIAN CHAIN BASE HOTEL

"Goodness, this guy is a real food king!"

A creature over 300 meters long, the Furball Beast actually ate a third of it before letting out a satisfied burp. Zhang Menglong wondered if its stomach was like a Dimensional Beast, an extradimensional space.

Suddenly, a golden light emanated from the Furball Beast’s body. Its form began to enlarge within the light, and the energy reactions in its body spiked dramatically.

"Is it evolving already?"

"Dean, the Furball Beast is just at its juvenile stage. The energy required for its evolution isn’t much. Moreover, this is a Level Eight Life Form. Its flesh contains abilities that are a great supplement for those fierce beasts. It’s not unusual at all.

As the light faded, a dinosaur-like creature standing on two legs appeared before Zhang Menglong.

"Agumon?"

"Yes, I’m Agumon now!" The yellow dinosaur waved at Zhang Menglong.

"Dean, its current life level is roughly equivalent to a Level Two Life Form."

"Can it revert back?" Zhang Menglong asked, "I think the Furball Beast is more cute with its soft and squishy form."

Agumon nodded. Its body shrank back down in a milky white light. Of course, having completed evolution, it could re-evolve into the Agumon form at any time.

"Interesting!" Zhang Menglong collected the remains of the giant creature. "Looks like I’ll need to collect more high-level fierce beast corpses in the future. Otherwise, it won’t be enough to satisfy this little glutton."

"Dean, more people are coming!" Gou Dan said.

"No way?" Zhang Menglong’s grin grew wider. "Could there be another beast tide so soon? It’s only been a few days!"

For other treasure hunters, a beast tide meant death, but for Zhang Menglong, it was equivalent to a large supply of Qi Flame and countless treasure resources. He might even score another protection fee, why not?

"If I could get a unicorn to evolve into Steel Garurumon and combine with WarGreymon, wouldn’t the resulting Omnimon at least reach Level Ten Life Form Peak?" Zhang Menglong thought gleefully.

"Dean, I haven’t detected any beast tide signs," Gou Dan replied.

"Then why are they coming here?" Zhang Menglong was puzzled. "When they left, they seemed relieved, eager to keep their distance from me. Could they have a masochistic tendency? Tsk tsk tsk."

With the Furball Beast on his shoulder, Zhang Menglong walked to the city’s entrance. The little guy, having eaten its fill, started to sleep, a mucus bubble expanding and contracting with its breaths.

"Mr. Gales, we meet again!" Zhang Menglong knew this man. It was said that this city was first discovered by their Cosmic Empire ancestors, and he was the first to come here and gather other treasure hunters. However, everything he did served as a wedding dress for Zhang Menglong.

"It seems Mr. Gales has had quite the harvest recently. The green glow on your head is gone!" Zhang Menglong laughed. A few days ago, when those treasure hunters left, their heads were all green. In just a few days, Gales’ Qi Flame had turned yellow again, indicating he must have gotten some good stuff recently.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, we meet again," Gales replied with a bitter smile. Deep down, he had no desire to return to this wretched place, but his strength didn’t allow otherwise!

A few days ago, after confirming the beast tide had ended, these treasure hunters immediately left the city.

However, they didn’t anticipate there being no other similar city ruins or cities established by treasure hunters within tens of millions of kilometers. And after the beast tide ended, wherever they passed, there were traces of fierce beast activities.

During the day, with open vision and high vigilance, hunting beasts within their capability range was relatively easy. Indeed, they did reap a lot of Qi Flame treasures again.

But that was limited to daytime. They didn’t realize nighttime would be a nightmare.

Most fierce beasts roam the cosmos, active day and night, but after being trapped in this treasure hunting space by the Zuda Civilization, they developed a habit of being nocturnal. At night, this place became those beasts’ heaven.

Last night, they were attacked by a group of fierce beasts and even encountered a very strong Level Five Peak Life Form level beast.

Their civilization had over 30 people transported to the same area to act together, losing nearly half of them in one night.

They even sensed the presence of a Level Six Life Form while fleeing!

Suddenly, they realized that the treasure hunting space at night was extremely dangerous post-beast tide.

If they couldn’t find a haven, they estimated they wouldn’t last through several nights before being wiped out.

Many treasure hunters spontaneously formed small camps, hoping to unite and resist the fierce beasts’ night attacks.

At first, these small camps were effective. Taking turns on guard duty, they managed to fend off and kill small groups of attacking beasts, surviving several peaceful nights.

But they still underestimated this treasure hunting space. The night before last, a Level Six beast stormed into their camp, leading to a one-sided slaughter, unlike Zhang Menglong who would rob them and then let them go.

Once encountered, there was no escape.

They were fortunate to escape successfully.

Given the current situation, to survive long-term in this treasure hunting space, they needed a safe, strong place that could easily fend off those beasts, allowing them to hunt during the day and rest safely at night.

After much deliberation, they could only think of this city. If it could withstand such a massive beast tide, why fear small beast packs?

Furthermore, Zhang Menglong’s Black Warriors could even kill a Level Eight Life Form, providing them immense security.

After hearing their story, Zhang Menglong’s lips curled up uncontrollably.

"Mr. Zhang, I hope you could provide us with a safe haven. We promise not to disturb you, just wish to take refuge here at night. Do you agree?" Gales cautiously requested.

"Of course, of course!" Zhang Menglong laughed. "Wait a moment, I’ll go arrange something first!"

After saying that, Zhang Menglong walked into the city alone, not knowing what he was up to.

Gales looked at his companions. Despite feeling uneasy, they had no choice. The other cities with self-defense capabilities were far away, and if those cities were occupied by the Ritian Sect, they might not fare better.

The fear of being dominated by people from the Ritian Sect already left a shadow in their hearts.

"Look at the words on the city wall!"

The city’s original name was in the unique script of the Zuda Civilization, translated to Earth’s language roughly as "Armor City."

The city’s name could be defined by its control system.

The letters twisted and morphed, eventually forming a new name in the universal cosmic language.

Translated to Earth’s language, it read—Ritian Chain Hotel-style Base.

The treasure hunters looked at each other, puzzled by this bizarre move.
