"No, no, Tang Rao is very suspicious. If he wanted to ask, he would have done it long ago. I have my own thoughts, and since I don't have a place to stay for now, I can only make do with living with you. You don't mind, right?"
Zhou Zhou, being a single girl, didn't dare to stay at an inn, and on North Island, she was all alone. Luckily, Rao Linger had arrived on North Island first to familiarize herself with the environment, otherwise she wouldn't have found a better way.
"This isn't my home. From the day I moved in, I've been all alone. Even if you didn't mention it, I would have begged you to stay."
Although this wasn't Rao Linger's home, it was a place where she didn't have to pay, with free food and accommodation. Having one more person meant she could take a little advantage of Tang Rao, perhaps as a form of revenge?
"Ling Er, this is not like Central Island. On Central Island, there are people everywhere to help us. On North Island, no one will care for you like that. Sister still needs to remind you not to trust anyone easily, and don't accept others' kindness casually. Aside from our own people, others' kindness always comes with ulterior motives."
Zhou Zhou thought things through more thoroughly and deeply. Ling Er believed that Zhou Zhou wouldn't harm her and that what she said was for her own good.
"Don't worry, Sister Zhou Zhou. I will remember what you just said and won't easily be deceived."
Ling Er almost raised her hand to swear, but Zhou Zhou stopped her, not wanting to draw unnecessary attention.
"I heard that Dragon Mountain was occupied by a hegemon for years, and then suddenly it became the exclusive trial site of the Kao Shan Sect. There must be something strange about it. I think this Tang Rao is much more complicated than what we initially saw on Central Island. Luckily, he didn't hold it against us."
Earlier, Zhou Zhou had tried to trick Tang Rao to help Rao Linger, but luckily he saw through it and didn't mention it, acting as if nothing ever happened.
"You're right. But I've decided on Tang Rao. Sister Zhou Zhou, you don't know, I've issued a challenge outside. If I don't win over Tang Rao, I'll never leave North Island and will never return to Central Island. If I relent now and go back to Central Island, the entire Divine Realm would laugh at me, wouldn't they?"
What? Rao Linger issued a challenge? When did this happen? She didn't even discuss such a big decision with Zhou Zhou?
"Of course they'd laugh at you. Not just Central Island and North Island, if you can't win over Tang Rao, you'll be famous throughout the Divine Realm!"
To be famous throughout the Divine Realm, how sensational, what a monumental significance?
"What should I do? I don't want to be famous at all. Can I take back my words and pretend it never happened?"
Rao Linger thinks too ideally. If everything could just be ignored, what would be the point of commitments?
"If you think it's okay, then it's okay."
Zhou Zhou said this, but her smile betrayed her inner thoughts.
"Sister Zhou Zhou, you're teasing me too?"
Rao Linger protested, playing around with Zhou Zhou.
"Ling Er, did you hear something?"
Zhou Zhou made a hushing gesture, expecting Rao Linger to stop immediately, but unexpectedly, she didn't. Instead, she thought Zhou Zhou was joking with her.
"Sister Zhou Zhou, you think I don't know you're fooling me? At this time, what noise could there be? If you want me to stop, you should find a better reason."
She continued to playfully attack Zhou Zhou, even faster than before.
"I'm serious. Why don't you believe me?"
Zhou Zhou urged Rao Linger to listen, making her stop and focus all her attention on the outside sounds.
"Why don't I hear anything? Is there something wrong with my ears?"
Zhou Zhou said the noise was loud, yet Rao Linger kept saying she didn't hear it. Apart from something being wrong with her ears, she didn't consider whether her own speaking just happened to drown it out?
Boom, boom, boom!
This time, there was no need for Zhou Zhou to explain; Rao Linger realized the sound was indeed real.
"Sister Zhou Zhou, why does it sound like a demon beast tide?"
The sound of a demon beast tide was too familiar to Rao Linger. That rumbling noise, she had heard for many years, sometimes waking from dreams with the sound still echoing in her ears.
"You mean a demon beast tide? This is North Island, how could it be? Besides, in places where people live, demon beasts can't come in. The sound we heard earlier clearly came from very close. You don't mean to say a demon beast tide came so rapidly that not even the border sentinels had time to report it before it arrived, do you?"
"I just meant it's possible. My experience on Central Island is only useful there. On North Island, unfamiliar with the environment here, I also can't quite say if it's what I think."
Rao Linger sighed, wondering what the situation outside Zijing City was like right now?
Boom, boom, boom!
Thud, thud, thud!
The sound was getting closer and bigger. Zijing City, thanks to a powerful array setup, wasn't completely drowned out by the booming. Outside, besides these sounds, were cries for help.
"It's a demon beast tide, definitely. Only a large demon beast tide could cause such chaos. I must go out and see, or the whole of North Island will be doomed."
Once Rao Linger made up her mind, Zhou Zhou couldn't hold her back.
Well, at least when it comes to this matter, Ling Er can be considered an expert. If she can't stop the demon beast tide, presumably no one else could either.
Currently, Zhou Zhou couldn't show her face, so she could only hide in the room, waiting for good news from Ling Er.
"Ah, help!"
"Help, there's a monster!"
"Ah!"
Some of these people managed to say a simple sentence, some just let out a cry and vanished into the demon beast tide!
"What's happening outside now?"
Though Heavenly Net could see the situation outside clearly, at this moment, Tang Rao was too upset to look at it and instead wanted direct reports.
"Reporting to the boss, it's a demon beast tide!"
Geng Bucuo had gone out to scout as soon as he heard the first sound, and before the demon beast tide arrived, he had rushed back to inform the people of North Island. Otherwise, more than this small number of people would have been affected by the demon beasts' attack and damage.
"Where did the demon beasts come from, and how strong are they? Have you discovered anything unusual?"
Tang Rao utilized his extraordinary analytical abilities to sort out this demon beast tide's origin in the shortest time.
"No other abnormalities have been found."
