Volume 1_Chapter 169: The Tip of the Iceberg



Last night, he and Li Hu drank a little, but at dawn the next day, Zhang Mu suddenly opened his eyes, and there was no sign of drunkenness from last night. He stretched out his hand and woke up Yuan Rui who was sleeping soundly.

After a simple tidying up, Zhang Mu directly pulled the sleepy Yuan Rui onto the back of the mutant wolfhound.

Because the obsidian worm said that the weather was too cold and it didn't want to come out, it decisively abandoned the mutant wolfhound, comfortably crawled into Yuan Rui's pocket, and leisurely commanded the wolfhound to gallop towards Jinzhong City.

Because Long Qi said that the other three people have been waiting around Jinzhong City. They had received a notice yesterday and would work together when Zhang Mu arrived.

At this time, at the edge of the city wall, Long Qi and a mysterious man who was wrapped tightly in black stood together. The two watched Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui quickly disappear from their sight before they withdrew their gaze.

"What do you mean?" The former highest leader of the gathering place was now very respectful to the mysterious man in black.

The man pondered for a while, and a charming and seductive voice came out from the black veil, "It's hard to say, but I feel that what he shows on the surface now is just a small part of the iceberg that has surfaced." It's actually a woman!

Although her face was completely obscured by the black veil, the soft and tender voice made people imagine something wild and consciously associate her with a peerless beauty.

If Zhang Mu were here, he would definitely completely overturn his cognition. In this small Shanxi City, there is not only Long Qi, a second-level evolver, but this woman with a black veil is actually slightly stronger than Long Qi.

"You said that there is a newcomer in the camp, and he has a special aura, so I rushed over immediately after the civil servant reported it." At this time, Long Qi's face showed confusion. He touched his bald head and said slowly, "But I know this person. He is the descendant of a thief sect. Although their thieves are well-known among the people, they are not up to standard. It's just some very decadent skills wrapped with a little bit of the essence passed down from their ancestors. It's not surprising.

Moreover, I have observed him. Although he was not completely overwhelmed by me in terms of momentum, I could feel that he was just barely holding on. When he was about to reach his limit, I controlled the pressure to a fixed intensity. "Seventh Brother, when did my intuition go wrong? Believe me, this man is not simple." The soft voice came out of her mouth unconsciously with a hint of charm.

But Long Qi seemed to have gotten used to it and was not affected at all, not even the slightest bit of emotional fluctuation.

"Yes, your perception has not missed anything since the opening of this blissful era. I'm just a little curious, but this mission does require his mutant beast. My mental power has observed that the girl's beetle can change its size at will. It would be best if we can bring back the core information of Jinzhong City this time." The woman nodded lightly and said softly, "Although there are thousands of evolvers, it is not yet time to exchange human lives for resources. We should be on the safe side.

Population is our greatest resource." After saying that, the woman in black veil turned away, walked down the city wall, and walked back to the camp.

"I know that there are still too few evolvers with taming abilities, otherwise we wouldn't have to wait for Zhang Mu's arrival to start our plan." Long Qi nodded in agreement, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to the woman in black veil. He glanced deeply and long in the direction where Zhang Mu and the other person left, and then followed the woman down the city wall.

What Zhang Mu didn't know was that he was not the only one who had hidden his strength. Long Qi and the entire Shanxi City had hidden power far beyond his imagination. There was actually such a person hidden there, and his every move was being analyzed inadvertently. Just like their evaluation of Zhang Mu, they themselves were just the tip of the iceberg in front of Zhang Mu.

. . . . . .

Even with the weight of Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui, the mutant wolfhound ran extremely fast, seemingly even faster than when it was carrying Zhang Mu alone. It seemed that the earth-type beast core that Zhang Mu fed it yesterday took effect, and the mutant wolfhound's carrying capacity had been qualitatively improved again.

Zhang Mu is satisfied

He stroked the mutant wolfhound's increasingly dense mane, and the obsidian worm hiding in Yuan Rui's pocket along the way was not really doing nothing. At least it scared away all the first-level mutant beasts around them.

It took Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui a whole morning to reach the land. Looking at the city in the distance, he did not rush to meet those evolvers with taming abilities and enter Jinzhong City to find out what was going on. Instead, he sat down leisurely.

The mutant wolfhound, with a dry mouth, picked up a pile of mutant beast corpses stored in the Epoch Merchant's ring and started to eat them. As the scene was too bloody, Zhang Mu sent it directly to a place where he and Yuan Rui couldn't see it. While dragging the corpses, it stared at Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui with a wronged look in its eyes.

There was no way. It was eating so voraciously next to me, with blood and flesh splattered everywhere, which really affected my appetite.

Sitting on the ground with his legs bent, Zhang Mu supported himself with one hand on the ground and held some dry food in the other hand. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and he looked lazy.

Suddenly, he sat up straight, took out the brief map that Li Hu gave him yesterday, and began to observe. Although he had seen it countless times yesterday and knew every location by heart, Zhang Mu still felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't find the source of this uneasiness, so he could only check the map over and over again.

Still nothing!

Zhang Mu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and his frown slowly relaxed.

What is the reason? Is there any danger in Jinzhong City?

Don’t think about it anymore. Yuan Rui and I have finished eating. It’s time to call someone.

He pulled out a bamboo whistle from his bosom, and the crisp sound began to resound throughout the sky. Zhang Mu was not afraid that some blind mutant beasts would be attracted here, because the obsidian worms were always exerting the pressure of second-level mutant beasts. As for the zombies and mutant beasts in Jinzhong City, Zhang Mu was even less worried. Long Qi said that they seemed to be guarding something and would not be led out of the city so easily.

Zhang Mu waited quietly. Less than five minutes later, three black shadows arrived at Zhang Mu's location almost at the same time from three different directions.
