 Gu Zhan turned to flee, which only made the director of the psychiatric hospital even angrier. He patted the enormous creature beneath him and shouted in fury, "Chase!" The monster started moving toward Gu Zhan’s direction. Even though the monster wasn’t fast, its massive size allowed it to cover a large distance with every step, and its movements caused the ground to tremble. Gu Zhan and Qin Yue, however, only had two legs, making their escape clumsy and frantic. The distance between them and the monster was closing, and every time Qin Yue ran, he was jolted into the air by the heavy footsteps of the creature, like a scene from Tom and Jerry. Unable to hold back, he asked, "Boss, what kind of grudge do you have with him? Can't we just talk this out?" Gu Zhan glanced back quickly. The director, still seated on the giant creature’s shoulder, wore a face full of rage. Gu Zhan thought to himself, Talking is not an option. But running like this wasn’t a sol

Until now, Jiang Haichuan still believed that Gu Zhan had been kicked out. Gu Zhan gave a slight smile and said, "Maybe, I left on my own?" Jiang Haichuan’s expression changed, but it was too late. The players and monsters collided, and the battle began! These people were Jiang Haichuan’s elite force, selected for their combat skills. They could fly and jump, and their battle techniques were strong. But the monsters didn’t care. They were tough and enjoyed the fight, relishing the chaos of the battle. Soon, both sides were injured, but Jiang Haichuan’s people couldn’t get any closer to the central crystal ball of the base. Most of them were knocked down, being pummeled by the monsters. As Gu Zhan had said, there were so many people in this game, and no one else came to provoke him, not just because they feared monsters. Another key reason was that Gu Zhan’s team was truly strong. Having seen the monsters’ loyalty to Gu Zhan, it was clear that if a conflict broke out,

“The Red cloud lost a base... strange.” Inside the base occupied by Hai Chao, Jiang Haichuan stared at the map displayed by the system, his brows furrowed. The base that had separated from the Red cloud didn’t disappear into the thick fog again; the bright yellow stood out sharply in his eyes. “Have we attacked this base of Shan Ze’s before?” He showed the map to the person next to him. ( Shan Ze ≠ Yu Yezhou's guild) The person glanced at it and said, “There were some small-scale harassment attempts, but the people from Shan Ze are like mad dogs; we couldn't even break in. They couldn't even touch the crystal.” After hearing this, Jiang Haichuan felt increasingly uneasy. Hai Chao hadn't taken over a Red cloud base, so how did this base separate? Suddenly, the person beside him remembered something and said, “Could it be the monsters?” Recently, there had been a sudden increase in roaming monsters. Some of them looked very familiar, but most were lethargic and di

At this moment, Chun Bai Cheng could no longer be called pure white. [P/s - Chun Bai Cheng mean Pure White City] The sky remained dark red, and the spreading white fog hadn’t dissipated. The monsters surged out, destroying most of the buildings, leaving behind nothing but ruins. Gu Zhan entered a broken alleyway and sat at its end. He raised his right hand, and thankfully, his star map watch was still securely on his wrist. Gu Zhan closed his eyes for a moment, and the next second, he entered the star map space. No matter how dark it was outside, the star map space remained bright and calm. But this time, something seemed different. Gu Zhan opened his eyes and found himself inside a room. He was lying on a soft bed, surrounded by curtains, with walls adorned with intricate patterns. The style reminded him of the Black Raven Mansion from the previous dungeon. Gu Zhan propped himself up. His chest still hurt, and he pressed a hand to it as he got up and walked to the window, look

After dinner, Nightingale and Xiao Su returned. That afternoon, both guilds received news that they were going to form an alliance. Gu Zhan noticed that the number of people in the Red Cloud had increased, and they had gained another stronghold. With such results from their first move, Yu Ye Zhou felt confident about the future. Over the next few days, the three factions started cooperating, quickly capturing the third stronghold. The map turned red, and it was clear the other faction was getting anxious. They also began occupying a stronghold, but their progress was much slower than that of the Red Cloud. Perhaps the Red cloud's success was too prominent, as Yu Ye Zhou received several cooperation offers from other guilds. Having missed the first wave of cooperation offers, Yu Ye Zhou was no longer as easygoing. He started negotiating terms with these people. While the factions fought fiercely for strongholds, Gu Zhan remained at the guild’s base. One afternoon, after fini
