Zhang Mu was not afraid of heights. He let the obsidian worm pull him up desperately, and quietly watched the huge pit formed by the black spiders below getting farther and farther away from him.

Soon, the obsidian worm could no longer hold on. It had used too much wind element to condense the two giant wind blades. In addition, the load on its body had reached its limit, so it slowly slowed down its descent.

When Zhang Mu's feet touched the ground, he instantly retracted the blood vine lotus that was tied to the mutant wolfhound, then lightly tapped the ground to make room for the obsidian insects on it. Now they were some distance away from the town, but Zhang Mu still looked in that direction with lingering fear.

"Uncle, how should we deal with those spiders?" Yuan Rui was taken off the carapace of the obsidian worm by Zhang Mu. She looked at Zhang Mu with a puzzled look on her face, and kept soothing Haohao in her arms to prevent him from being too sad.

Zhang Mu first thought quietly for a while, then shook his head helplessly. Now he had no tricks to deal with these little spiders that were born from the mother of disaster and absorbed all the essence from the mother's body.

As long as they are given enough time and energy, they can quickly grow to the strength of a first-order mutant beast in a very short time. Imagine the destructive power of tens of thousands of first-order mutant beasts appearing at the same time. At least so far, no gathering place can withstand such an attack, even if there are talented and powerful evolvers with awakened abilities in this gathering place.

Zhang Mu was now somewhat worried about the nearby cities. Humans now had no way to fight against them. Even with the protection of the Epochal Store, did humans have to stay in the cities from now on?

You know, before, hundreds of mutant beasts escaped from the zoo in Luoyang City and forced all humans to have no strength to fight back. Now the number is at least ten times that of the original one!

In the face of overwhelming numbers, even the strongest individual abilities will be overwhelmed.

Not only did the merchants of Jiyuan have difficulty traveling, but the city had not yet developed a self-sufficient agriculture and breeding industry. The main source of food for people was still through the collection of materials in the city and

Go outside the city to hunt some relatively easy-to-catch mutant beasts for meat.

With tens of thousands of first-level spiders lurking outside the city, no one would dare to step out of the safe area.

But Zhang Mu really has no means to clean up these little spiders that were suddenly born.

Zhang Mu turned to look at Yuan Rui and said, "I can't do it with my ability right now. Even if I add Xiao Hei and that dead dog, it's just a drop in the bucket. Facing such a powerful number, it won't have any effect at all."

Yuan Rui thought about it and decided not to persuade Zhang Mu to take the risk. However, when she saw the resentment and coldness in the young Haohao's eyes, her heart ached again. She looked at Zhang Mu hesitantly and said, "Uncle, what about Haohao? He is still a child. You won't abandon him alone, right?"

Yuan Rui's eyes were full of pleading, fearing that Zhang Mu would say something she didn't want to hear.

"It is too dangerous for us to go out now. If we bring a little boy who has no ability to protect himself, we will have to divide our energy to protect him."

As Zhang Mu said this, Yuan Rui was about to cry and hugged Haohao tightly, not letting go.

However, Zhang Mu immediately smiled and said, "If we can't take care of him, we can hand Haohao over to the women who stay in Wang Liang's gathering place after returning to Luoyang City. If Wang Liang chooses, he will definitely choose the one he trusts the most. We can also provide the person who raises Haohao with a monthly amount of food as a living allowance."

Zhang Mu didn't want to tease Yuan Rui too much, so he told her the solution without breathing heavily. Yuan Rui then wiped away the tears that were about to overflow and hit Zhang Mu. Now she thought that she seemed a little willful. If she brought a child with her, it might have a great impact on Zhang Mu's actions. She looked at Zhang Mu with a look as if she knew she was in the wrong.

Actually, Zhang Mu didn't want to get involved in this matter, but if he really had to abandon a ten-year-old boy in the wilderness, he would definitely not do it. This was the only solution he could think of, but he didn't know if Haohao, in his current mental state, could integrate into human society.

This time the shadow is for him

It was really too big. Even Zhang Mu found that Haohao looked at him with wariness. Yuan Rui, who had always cared about him, was better and let her hug him without resistance.

Just at this moment, a yawning sound was heard, with a heavy nasal tone.

As soon as Zhang Mu heard the sound, he knew that the mutant wolfhound had woken up, so he walked over, pulled its ears and yelled, "You still remembered to wake up, it's already daybreak, and you were almost eaten by others, leaving only a pile of bones."

The mutant wolfhound knew that it had slept for a long time, so it wagged its tail and licked Zhang Mu's hand in a flattering manner.

The mutant wolfhound now regained its spirits after a long sleep and was no longer so weak. Now that it was admitting its mistakes obediently, Zhang Mu had no way of saying anything to it.

Zhang Mu continued to think about what happened just now and felt a headache again.

If he had an ability to cast area damage skills, he wouldn't be in such a dilemma now. He could clear them out when they were weak, and there wouldn't be such a big hidden danger in the future and now.

But when he saw the mutant wolfhound's twitching nose, Zhang Mu suddenly had an idea that made him extremely excited.

The ability to deal area damage does not necessarily depend on him alone. He had a method that worked for him for a long time, and now was the right time to use it.

Fire! Use gasoline!

The little spiders now have not yet advanced to the first level, so their defensive capabilities must be extremely fragile and they cannot withstand the fire ignited by gasoline. However, he can let the mutant wolfhounds use their sense of smell, which is much sharper than that of the obsidian bugs, to sense the place where the gasoline is stored and set fire to the camp again.

As for the uncertainty of whether the ground had been hollowed out and softened, Zhang Mu also had a way to deal with it.

Since he can’t get through on the ground, he has an extremely powerful flying item that has its own attack capabilities!

It's time for a counterattack!

Little spiders, I, Zhang Mu, am back to play with you now, hehehe.

Zhang Mu looked at the obsidian worm that was stretching its wings behind it and smiled maliciously.
