Zhang Mu and his companions always maintained a distance of about five meters from the mutant wolfhound. Although the mutant wolfhound controlled itself for a while underneath, it must have been a very unpleasant feeling to have dirt all over its face.
When Zhang Mu roughly estimated that they were within fifteen miles of Luoyang City, the noise in front suddenly stopped. When Zhang Mu and his companions walked over, they found that the mutant wolfhound was lying motionless in front of a stone wall.
It's over, it's over. Are you out of energy? I was just boasting to myself that it was fine, but now I'm out of energy.
This was the first thought that flashed through Zhang Mu's mind when he saw the mutant wolfhound lying there. He ran over and found that the mutant wolfhound was bending down to sniff something, and was not lazily resting because he had no energy.
Zhang Mu was also a little puzzled at this moment, so he approached it and asked, "What did you find?"
The mutant wolfhound roared twice at the obsidian worm on Yuan Rui's shoulder. The obsidian worm slowly flew over and circled in front of the mutant wolfhound before contacting Zhang Mu, "The local dog said there was an unusual smell here. It felt something was wrong, so it stopped digging."
Zhang Mu frowned slightly and asked the obsidian worm, "You mean, there are still mutant beasts living twelve meters below the ground?"
The obsidian worm sneered at Zhang Mu, "Don't even mention 12 meters, even if it's 20 meters or 200 meters, there's a high possibility that there are mutants. I just smelled a little bit of it, and I was just trying to confirm whether the degree of its energy fluctuation would affect us."
The mutant wolfhound seemed unable to judge the strength of the owner of this aura. It glanced at Zhang Mu and wanted to continue digging the tunnel. It was very sensitive to danger, but it was obvious that this aura did not threaten it, so it did not want to care about it.
Zhang Mu couldn't make any judgement, because he didn't even know what the obsidian worms were talking about. The only smell here was the fishy smell of earth. He felt that his sense of smell was about to fail.
Just when the mutant wolfhound wanted to continue digging, the obsidian worm suddenly flashed and pressed down the mutant wolfhound's head, preventing it from moving. The mutant wolfhound was suddenly frightened and wanted to resist, but the obsidian worm sent it a message, and it immediately calmed down and lay down.
Lying motionless on the ground.
Zhang Mu was about to speak when the obsidian worm sent him a message through the mind link, telling him to shut up.
"There are a large group of beasts staying right above us, and I sense the presence of a second-level creature. We are twelve meters away. Although there is a rock barrier, I don't know if the energy fluctuations will be discovered. Now stay quiet and don't move."
Zhang Mu gestured with his hand, asking Yuan Rui and the other person to squat down as well, trying their best to keep quiet and keep their energy stable.
As expected, there was a second-level mutant beast there. It only had twelve layers of rock, and it didn't even need to take action. With dozens of its minions around it, Zhang Mu and the others were easily caught in the trap and trapped in the tunnel.
The obsidian worm also restrained its breath, not daring to use the power of the wind element, and stuck to Zhang Mu's back without saying a word.
The cave was very quiet. No one knew why the mutant beasts on the surface stayed there and didn't move.
Could it be that he was discovered?
Zhang Mu began to sweat slowly on his head. This possibility was not impossible. What if the second-order mutant beast above happened to be of the earth element, and was extremely sensitive to changes in the earth element, and discovered the abnormality underground.
Because the obsidian worms stopped supplying natural wind, and the mutant wolfhounds required a huge amount of oxygen, there was now a lack of oxygen in this small space, and the breathing of several people became heavier.
“Can’t we release a little natural wind?” Zhang Mu saw that Yuan Rui and the others were getting uncomfortable, and asked the Obsidian Bug if he could release a little power of the wind element.
Unexpectedly, the obsidian worm directly and decisively rejected Zhang Mu's offer. "Don't have any fluke mentality. The premise of my concealment method is not to use energy and keep the breath stable. Even releasing a little wind element will break this balance. I don't know if it will find out, but if it finds out, a lot of our combat power will not be able to be exerted.
They might be able to fight outside, but with such a narrow space and the position of being controlled by the upper part, they would definitely lose if they fought, no need to think too much.
Releasing a little is the same as releasing all of it. To disrupt the balance, just a little force is enough. "
Zhang Mu stopped talking. It had not come to that point yet. What Obsidian said was correct.
Just when Haohao's face turned purple, Zhang Mu decided it was time to take a risk. The obsidian bug suddenly took the initiative to open the natural wind, freeing everyone. It looked at Zhang Mu's surprised eyes and said, "Don't look at me. The beasts above have dispersed, and the second-level mutant beast king has also left."
"Let's go? Great. If it dawdles a little longer, I'll be ready for battle." Zhang Mu patted the mutant wolfhound's head and said, "Let's get on with the work. We still have half the journey to go. The time we spent waiting just now is equivalent to nearly one-third of the time from the start to the halfway point."
The obsidian worm's wings trembled slightly, cruelly exposing what Zhang Mu had just said, "Start a war? To start a war, you need to have equal strength. Thousands of mutant beasts plus at least one second-level king, our number is just like a snack for them. You'd better save your energy."
Fortunately, the obsidian worm could not speak and only mocked Zhang Mu in the mind link, otherwise he would have lost face. Zhang Mu glared at the obsidian worm fiercely, but the obsidian worm turned a blind eye and returned to Yuan Rui.
The mutant wolfhound had already started digging again. After what happened just now, and the fact that the density of mutant beasts increased the closer it got to Luoyang City, it reduced the amplitude of its movements and its speed gradually slowed down.
Zhang Mu, Yuan Rui and the others were just taking a leisurely stroll in the garden and were in no hurry. After entering the city and finding Wang Liang, they would know the truth of the matter and why there were such a large number of mutant beasts besieging the city.
Although normally, if no Epoch Agent opens the primary agent authority, the Epoch Store will not protect this city, but the last animal riot in the zoo in Luoyang City caused too much loss to the Epoch Agent Merchant just recruited by No. 37. After he took action, the whole city was left with the aura of the Epoch Merchant.
The mutant beasts are born to fear the aura of the Epoch Store, but now they dare to surround Luoyang City. Although they dare not invade because of the power and pressure of the Epoch Merchants, they still surround the city. Something big must have happened.
After stopping several times along the way, Zhang Mu and his companions were only five miles away from the foot of Luoyang City.
It’s really not easy to enter Luoyang City. Is their underground team finally arriving?
