620: enemy attack

Within the warning line on the outskirts of the Seventh Ecological Circle.

Click.

A soft footstep entered the safe zone.

high martial calendar, 864, February 16, 8:25 AM.

"What a coincidence."

Chen Du looked down at the time on his wristband and sighed.

"Exactly a year ago at this time, I was leaving to take the history exam for the Hongzhi Class at Liangcheng No. 1 High School. I didn't expect to return today at the same time."

Along the way, Chen Du hadn't deliberately rushed. In fact, due to his strict self-discipline, he even chose a random gravity section for one part of the journey.

His arrival at this time was a pure coincidence.

Currently, due to the recent deterioration of the general environment, the number of Martial Artists within the warning line on the outskirts of the Seventh Ecological Circle was higher than usual.

Most of them were in teams of five; some had just returned, others were preparing to depart.

Especially among those who had just returned, many were missing limbs. Fortunately, the medical team was stationed there, so as soon as they entered the warning line, they could receive immediate treatment.

The medical teams were all from the Technology Martial Hall. They used to work in Border Cities and wouldn't appear in outer areas, as there was a certain risk and larger equipment couldn't be brought out.

However, being able to provide earlier treatment to some Martial Artists, thereby reducing the casualty rate of High Martial Civilization Martial Artists, clearly indicated that the general environment had indeed become more severe.

Chen Du returned alone. For such a solitary figure, everyone generally assumed his teammates had all perished.

Those who could go out and fight were neither indecisive nor overly compassionate.

So, upon seeing Chen Du unharmed, their first thought was that he wasn't injured and didn't need treatment, thus shifting their attention to those who did.

They also didn't approach him too closely, and Chen Du, not wanting to attract too much attention, wore his pisces pendant.

This way, even if someone approached, they would only know that he possessed a treasure that concealed life information, not that he was Level 27.

After his journey of tempering, Chen Du knew that Level 27 was definitely a big figure in the Upper Civilization.

At that time, Sha Mi Kun of the Roast Chicken Civilization, hailed as their civilization's second-in-command, was only Level 27.

The High Martial Civilization had some Level 29 individuals because the High Martial Civilization had resided in the Upper Civilization for a long time and had a certain foundation.

The Roast Chicken Civilization, on the other hand, was because of the emergence of Yerusalakun, a super Genius. He single-handedly propelled the entire civilization, which made the overall strength of the Roast Chicken Civilization appear very weak.

In this manner, Chen Du moved through the crowd, gradually making his way towards the entrance and exit of Border City No. 56.

Border City No. 56 was the entrance Chen Du first used to leave the Seventh Ecological Circle. His choice to return here this time wasn't due to nostalgia, but simply because it was relatively close to Liang City.

"Hey, have you heard?"

A five-person team that had just returned from outside directly spoke to another five-person team that was about to depart.

The two teams knew each other and had a good relationship, so they didn't use formal titles.

"Those Aliens from the Sand Dune Civilization, I don't know who they offended, but one of their underground palaces was utterly devastated by some powerful individual."

"A great many Sky Soaring Warriors died!"

"The Sand Dune Civilization, who did they offend?"

"Brother, there's a problem with what you just said. Tell me, besides those two top-tier civilizations they wouldn't dare provoke, which other civilization haven't they offended, more or less?"

"Damn it! Can you stop nitpicking like that?"

"Is the point who they offended?"

"The point is that many of their Sky Soaring Warriors died."

"Oh, oh, I was wondering why I haven't seen them around lately. These guys are considered one of the strongest tiers in the Upper Civilization, and they often targeted us."

"In this current environment, once the number of Sky Soaring Warriors within a civilization decreases, there are far fewer people who can lead teams. Advanced Martial Artists are fine, but many Martial Artists below Level 15 don't even dare to go out anymore."

"But your news is outdated; I already know about it."

"Hehe, really?"

"I have some gossip you definitely don't know, want to hear it?"

The team returning from outside said with a grin, seemingly privy to some extraordinary information.

"Spill it!"

"Ahem, it's like this: according to gossip, the Alien who destroyed a large number of the Sand Dune Civilization's Sky Soaring Warriors was a Pink Starfish!"

"A Pink Starfish?"

"What the hell?"

"Do we have an Alien Civilization that looks like that here?"

The other person didn't explain, but silently opened his wristband, found a video, and clicked play. The next second, a somewhat foolish voice emanated from it:

"SpongeBob, let's go jellyfish hunting!"

...After a deathly silence, the team preparing to depart looked at their wristbands, and after confirming it wasn't April Fool's Day, they said speechlessly:

"Your gossip is even wilder than unofficial history!"

"Why don't you pick a yellow-haired one? That would be more believable."

"Yellow-haired? Who?"

The person who was speechless earlier also followed suit, skillfully opening a video on his wristband. A black-haired man was seen grunting like he was constipated:

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Then, his hair, as if it had entered an air fryer, turned yellow and stylish!

"You're going too far! If that guy showed up, let alone the Sand Dune Civilization, even Blue Star would be gone!"

"And what I'm telling you is true; that Pink Starfish might be an Alien Civilization from another continent. Don't disbelieve it."

"I just want to remind you, if you encounter it, stay far away."

"Alright, alright, I get it. Our team is about to start our routine patrol. I'll find you for a drink when we get back."

The speechless person brushed him off and prepared to depart.

Just then.

"Not good!"

"Enemy attack!"

"How could this be?! An Alien dares to attack our High Martial Civilization in this location!"

The Martial Artists outside Border City No. 56 instantly drew their weapons and entered battle readiness.

"Is the High Martial Civilization very strong?"

"This is just an entrance to one of the Border Cities in the mere Seventh Ecological Circle."

A tiger-headed, human-bodied beastman, a lion-headed, human-bodied beastman, and a Wolf-head Orc, three Beastmen about five meters tall, suddenly appeared outside the warning line, looking at the somewhat flustered High Martial Civilization people with a mocking expression.

"You dare to directly receive the wounded in such an obvious place."

"Are you not putting our Orc Civilization in your eyes?"
