This journey was unusually easy, because most of the areas near the cities had been cleared and were safe. However, it was only limited to the cities, and the human defense circle could only be shrunk to that small area. It was an extremely sad thing to think about.

In the human settlement, there are strong third-level and even fourth-level strongmen stationed, but they are far behind the evolution speed of the zombies and mutants. In fact, to put it bluntly, even the survival of the humans in the city is due to the power of the Epoch Store. If there is no deterrence from the Epoch Store, among the mutants with gradually increasing intelligence, a group of them would have overthrown the last settlement of humans under the leadership of their king.

Zhang Mu is good at short-distance transactions, because in this way the scope of the transaction is easier to control, so his route has been figured out and fixed in the past three years. Unless there are particularly big problems on this route, Zhang Mu will not easily change his route.

Zhang Mu's destination this time was still Shanxi City. He had no idea about the recent market prices, so he decided to find a familiar route that he had traveled back and forth last month.

The mountain range in front of him was the last obstacle for Zhang Mu to reach Shanxi City. There were still some fish that had escaped the net after the clearing. They were all dealt with by fourth-level powerhouses for the safety of the city. But the two or three remaining kittens could not attract the attention of these people.

Although the remaining ones were mutant beasts that others looked down upon, it was already a huge challenge for Zhang Mu. You have to know that he still hasn't stepped into the third level and is still hovering at the peak of the second level. Even among humans, he is a small figure at the bottom. Naturally, he moved forward cautiously with his body lowered.

The increasing terror of the end of the world is not simple. Even a route like this is the simplest one that Zhang Mu has carefully selected. You can imagine how cruel the wild is.

Half a year ago, Xi'an City tried to expand its safety zone. A fourth-level strongman with fire ability directly used his awakening ability, and a huge amount of fire energy was released, and the mountain was directly ignited with a raging fire. However, it was unexpected that a group of fourth-level mutant beasts were burned out, which directly scared the fire strongman back to the city.

However, although these mutant beasts were not afraid of the fire set by the fourth-level human evolutionist, they were also

No one could put out the fire that had already started.

Later, the mutant beasts did not dare to step into the city, but the fire did not abate, and they could no longer live here. After a large number of low-level mutant beasts died, most of the second-level and above mutant beasts were taken away by their kings. All that was left was a scorched earth and a few scattered second-level mutant beasts without a king in the group.

At the same time, the humans in Shanxi City no longer dared to think about expanding the city’s safety zone. Even their strongest men had retreated. What else could the people below do?

However, there is still a group of lowest-level desperadoes who have their eyes on the corpses and cores of low-level mutant beasts that were burned to death in the mountains, and are willing to enter the mountains despite the risk of being killed by the remaining second-level mutant beasts.

Zhang Mu was one of them. There were too many wolves and too little meat. However, as the number of low-level mutant beasts that could be found decreased, and the places with corpses became deeper and deeper, while the danger did not decrease at all, the group of desperate criminals slowly retreated from the frenzy and withdrew from the mountain. Seeing that fewer and fewer people came in to pick up corpses, Zhang Mu had a different idea.

This road would allow him to reach Shanxi City at the fastest speed without having to take a long detour.

This area of ​​forest has not recovered from the last cleanup. It looks like charcoal, with fallen charred wood everywhere. It is a mess. There is almost no life here except for some withered yellow weeds on the ground. So Zhang Mu doesn't have to worry about whether there are mutant plants lurking here.

Swish! Several sounds of breaking through the air came from the branches above Zhang Mu's head, and kept flashing around him.

Are they the ones again? Aren't those four the whole ones from last time?

Last month, he also stopped here, and suddenly these creatures appeared. They were creatures that he had never seen before on this road from Luoyang City to Shanxi City.

This familiar jumping rhythm, there is no mistake, it must be them!

Zhang Mu raised his head suddenly and saw those figures on the scorched yellow treetops looking at him. Their silvery-white fur was extremely smooth, and their petite appearance seemed harmless.

Yes, it was them! Second-order silver minks!

Zhang Mu took this route before.

When he was approaching, most second-level creatures would automatically identify the faint bloody smell emanating from Zhang Mu and would not easily approach. If there were any ferocious beasts that had not yet developed their intelligence, they could be easily dealt with by him.

However, this group of silver sables that had just entered this mountain range last month were very unfamiliar with Zhang Mu's scent. Even though they had a slight sense of danger, they were still not afraid at all.

These little creatures looked extremely agile, but their attack power was not strong. There were not many silver sables surrounding Zhang Mu at the beginning, only four. When Zhang Mu arrogantly entered their territory, they launched a lightning-fast attack, but Zhang Mu killed them all at the cost of his injuries.

But now, Zhang Mu looked around carefully and took a deep breath. It seemed that dozens of sparkling gems were flashing in the deep dark forest. But Zhang Mu knew that there were no gems in this broken forest.

Those shining eyes are all the glowing eyes of silver minks with night vision! There are more than twenty of them!

He took a tentative step forward, because the silver sable was not very aggressive. If Zhang Mu was more careful and avoided the mistake he made last time, he could easily slip right under their noses. As long as he got out of this path, he could directly enter the defense range of Shanxi City.

However, although he could not see the movements of the silver sables in the woods clearly, the ones on the treetops clearly showed one thing: when Zhang Mu moved, their heads moved in unison following his body.

Last month, I was in this state because I had directly entered their most dangerous defense range.

Do they remember their own smell?

It must be, these beasts actually smelled his scent, and waited until Zhang Mu got deep into it before attacking, their intelligence was amazing, the four that died last time had almost used up all of Zhang Mu's skills, he originally thought that those four were all, but he didn't expect that it was just a small squad. Now, the large group of human families has arrived.

More than twenty second-level silver sables, for Zhang Mu, who is only at the peak of the second level, it is a big deal!

He slowly thought of a countermeasure, but every time he moved, the silver minks moved with him.

It seems impossible to move forward, so I can only go back and make a big detour. That would be my bad luck.
