Zhang Mu had no idea about Lin Hua's fate. She was picked up by Gu Quan and placed on the general's body. As for herself, she had no reaction to the outside world. The mutant beast was her only capital to show off her power. Although the death of the golden python did not cause any chain damage to her, it completely turned her into a basic evolver with only the strength and agility of a first-level evolver.

This was a devastating blow to her, because she knew that although there wouldn't be much unfair treatment under the military system, in this world where the strong are respected, if she lost her strength, it would be a pipe dream to regain her original status.

However, her biggest worry now was not this, but how to face Long Qi's anger after returning.

She now hated her golden python instead. It was stupid enough to provoke so many mutant beasts. Now it was dead, and it dragged her into this situation. It deserved to die.

I wonder what the golden python that died for her would feel if it heard these words from its master.

Jiang Shu himself had disappeared, and the four of them and their three mutant beasts were rushing back towards Shanxi City at a normal speed. Now they didn't know what Long Qi's attitude was.

At this time, Zhang Mu was communicating with the obsidian worm and the mutant wolfhound. On the surface, it seemed that the mutant wolfhound was barking loudly to report the situation to Zhang Mu, but the real situation was that the mutant wolfhound was talking to the obsidian worm, which then translated the specific situation to Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu roughly understood the situation, and was completely convinced by the mutant wolfhound's audacity. It dared to face dozens of first-level mutant beasts on the same level as it alone, and it was actually frightened by it. It was also really lucky, otherwise it would have been torn to pieces by the swarm. Zhang Mu probably wouldn't see it asking for the second-level evolution potion from him and still making further demands.

He patted the mutant wolfhound's head, and because there was someone nearby, he asked the obsidian worm to translate for it, "I promised to give you a bottle of second-level evolution potion, and I will give it to you, but where did you learn this habit from?"

When the obsidian worm is translated to here

He paused awkwardly and added silently, "I didn't teach you that. Don't blame me for it."

The mutant wolfhound began to exaggerate and complain to Zhang Mu about how dangerous Jinzhong City was. It risked its life to ensure the smooth implementation of Zhang Mu's plan. It also carefully described to Zhang Mu how miserable it was when it saw the golden python being torn apart.

Zhang Mu thought about it and it made sense. With the help of the Obsidian Worm, he roughly guessed the defensive strength of Jinzhong City. The number of first-level zombie groups has been confirmed to be in the six digits, but there were no zombies in the city. This was probably the agreement between the intelligent zombies commanding them and the mutant white fox mentioned by the Obsidian Worm.

Because even if it is a cooperative relationship, the mutant beasts and zombies are in a mutual hunting relationship. Being able to cooperate temporarily does not mean that they can live together harmoniously.

Therefore, the huge Jinzhong City was deserted. The Obsidian Worm said that it roughly estimated from the air that the number of mutant beasts that kept coming over should be at least around three thousand.

Three thousand mutant beasts, under the unified command of a leader, are not at all inferior to a group of six-digit intelligent zombies. This is also the premise for them to be able to cooperate on an equal footing.

Zhang Mu stroked the mutant wolfhound's mane and said, "Okay, I'll give you a little bonus this time, but it won't happen again next time."

The mutant wolfhound nodded excitedly. It was really harder than climbing to the sky to get benefits from Zhang Mu.

After that, the Obsidian Worm and Zhang Mu had a private conversation. He sat on the mutant wolfhound, calmed down and concentrated, receiving the shared memory transmitted from the Obsidian Worm, and checking it bit by bit.

Those streets, those buildings, it turns out that this is what it is like, with all the core being placed in that square.

Just from his memory, Zhang Mu could feel the majestic aura of the old white fox. The obsidian worm told him with certainty that the mutant beast must be stronger than him.

Was even the arrogant Obsidian Bug convinced? It seems that the plan to retake Jinzhong City this time is not that simple. After reporting this to Long Qi, I wonder what kind of plan he will come up with.

However, the memory transmission stops here.

Zhang Mu felt very confused. He opened his eyes and looked at the obsidian worm that was flying and pointing its head at him and said, "What are you doing? The most important thing is, what about the thing I asked you to pay attention to? Didn't you go in?"

"Didn't go in? How is that possible? You underestimate me too much." The lazy voice of the obsidian worm sounded in Zhang Mu's heart, with a hint of cunning laughter, and it seemed that it was going to blackmail Zhang Mu.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Mu patiently wanted to hear what the obsidian worm said. He had just been blackmailed by the mutant wolfhound today. All his mutant beasts were about to become spirits. The mutant wolfhound just now was understandable. After all, it was a first-level mutant beast. So many beings of the same level were really a matter of life and death for it. But he knew the strength of the obsidian worm very well. What was there for it to be afraid of? Even if hundreds of first-level mutant beasts besieged it, as long as they were not higher than the second level, it would not be damaged at all.

"Don't worry. Although I don't know what that thing is, my instinct tells me that even I am eager for it. Moreover, the white fox that is more powerful than me has sent a first-level peak mutant beast with almost all the strength of the entire Jinzhong City to guard it. I believe you will definitely be interested."

"You all have learned how to bargain today. Well, I want to see what you find. As long as it's worth it, I'll decide to give you the reward you want."

The mutant beast and its owner began to raise the price, but Zhang Mu was not angry anymore. From what the obsidian worm said, it should not be guarding the evolution of intelligent zombies, but some rare treasures.

After getting Zhang Mu's promise, the obsidian worm's memory began to slowly continue to be transmitted to Zhang Mu.

It was a colorful light shield. When Zhang Mu saw clearly what was inside the light shield, he screamed and almost fell off the bumpy back of the mutant wolfhound. Fortunately, one of the other two was communicating with his mutant beast and perfecting the map, while the other was simply immersed in his own world and did not notice Zhang Mu's unusual noise.

Zhang Mu regained his composure, but his heart was in turmoil.

What is guarded within this colorful light shield is actually the mother-and-child gourd!
