Two gourds were hanging on a small tree vine, one big and one small, one blue and one green, tightly attached to the vine.

The obsidian worm has very good eyesight. Although the colorful light shield blocks all the aura of the two gourds, through the obsidian worm's eyes, its specific appearance can be clearly seen.

They were tightly connected, and the color seemed to fade away slowly, but they were tightly attached at the connection without separating. The colorful light shield blocked the wind, but the surface of the two gourds still showed signs of shaking and undulations.

It feels like they are living beings, they are breathing.

The reason why Zhang Mu was so surprised was that he recognized the origin of the gourd at once. He had heard of it before and had only heard of its appearance from others, but he was still impressed.

Because this mother-and-child gourd is the personal treasure of the Ice Queen, the greatest leader of Shanxi City in later generations. It is something between a plant and a weapon. Its main function is to see the Ice Queen use it to collect the corpses of high-level mutant beasts, and then transform them into a powerful evolutionary fluid in the gourd.

This kind of evolutionary essence is one of the finale items if an Epoch agent holds a trade fair in Shanxi City. Because it is so precious, only the first-ranked Epoch agent in Shanxi City who cooperates closely with the Ice Queen is qualified to obtain this resource for sale and to stabilize the trade fair, and it requires the Ice Queen to take action personally.

Everyone was envious, but no one dared to covet the treasure in the Ice Queen's hands. At most, they would scramble for it and bid up the price when the trade fair was about to end.

Zhang Mu didn't even have the qualifications to enter that kind of trade fair. Only agents with the epoch number before 20 could afford such treasures. He had only heard about it from the entourage of a leader of a powerful force. In order to ensure that the evolutionary fluid was not wasted, the Ice Queen used the treasure on the spot. Although the process only took a moment, everyone present was deeply attracted by it.

The big gourd is used for the first step, producing the relatively difficult to absorb evolutionary initial solution. Then pour it into the small gourd, and the liquid obtained from the green small gourd is the final evolutionary solution. The evolutionary solution can allow people above level three to absorb the entire essence of a mutant beast of the same level without loss.

The essence of flesh and blood, and most importantly, it ignores any attributes.

Because it can only be used once a month, this evolutionary fluid is usually used on fifth-order mutant beasts, or at least fourth-order ones. This situation is still very rare, unless the leader of a large force is willing to give it to his relatives with weaker strength.

The conditions for using this mother-and-child gourd are too harsh. You must know that it requires at least a third-level evolved beast, and the higher the level, the greater the gap between mutant beasts and humans. Five fifth-level human warriors may not be able to kill a fifth-level mutant beast. If one is not handled properly, the situation may reverse.

But even so, the evolution essence is still sought after by everyone, because its efficacy is so amazing. Just know how much blood and flesh essence a mutant beast contains, it is enough to burst a human body several times.

So after the first absorption, although a small part of the energy will be lost as time goes by and there will be some waste, it must be done at least three times to solve the rest in batches.

When Zhang Mu thought of the miraculous effects of the mother-and-child gourd, his eyes lit up. This was the exclusive treasure of the Ice Queen. He never expected that it had such a secret history. It turned out that the mother-and-child gourd was grown in Jinzhong City. But now that Zhang Mu knew about it, no one else would have a share.

Although this mother-and-child gourd normally needs to be at the third level to be used, it is a huge trump card in Zhang Mu's hand. For Zhang Mu, it is a treasure that he will never miss.

However, in Shanxi City, Long Qi is not a fool. If he steals the mother-and-child gourd in the chaos, he will definitely be suspicious. Therefore, Zhang Mu’s words and his next actions will have to be carefully considered.

He guessed that the old white fox probably didn't know the specific function of the mother-and-child gourd, which would be a real waste of resources.

But there was one question Zhang Mu couldn't figure out. The obsidian worm said that it didn't smell the decaying smell of zombies in Jinzhong City. In other words, the intelligent zombie didn't seem to be in the city. Could it be hiding among the zombies and using other zombies as cover? After all, this period is the most vulnerable.

for a period of time.

At this time, Gu Quan regained consciousness and looked at Zhang Mu and said, "Brother Zhang Mu, before Shu left, he had already carved his emperor scorpion's memory on a map and handed it to me. I combined it with my communication with the general and have now completed part of the map. The rest is up to you to solve."

As he spoke, Gu Quan asked his cat to come closer and handed Zhang Mu a crumpled piece of folded paper and a signing pen. On the paper was a drawing with the number and types of mutant beasts written on it.

Zhang Mu was also scribbling on it, marking the map with various symbols, such as solid triangles and hollow circles, and then marking their meanings below.

However, this time he was reserved and did not write down the data transmitted to him by the obsidian worm. He estimated that what he wrote was a little scattered, and it was not very obvious that the specific protection centers were all in the East City where he sneaked into.

As for if it is later proven to be wrong, Zhang Mu naturally has a way to deal with it. It can be said that it was the Golden Python that caused these things, which led to some problems in its deployment.

However, Zhang Mu felt that after this incident, the White Fox would more strictly require its mutant beasts to patrol all urban areas. In this way, except for the core area, the military strength in all other places should be similar. So Zhang Mu was not afraid that Long Qi would find trouble with him later.

Now, the person who needs the most trouble is the woman with a dejected look on her face on the back of General Gu Quan.

With her to bear Long Qi's anger, Zhang Mu will not have any major conflicts with Long Qi in the short term.

In the blink of an eye, the group of four had returned to the outer defenses of Shanxi City. It seemed that as the war was approaching, everyone began to get nervous. The scope of defense and the number of manpower began to increase, and it seemed that even ordinary people were being recruited to carry out the outer defense.

Zhang Mu looked up at the fortifications and found that there was no sign of Li Hu. He was about to turn around and ask Gu Quan what he meant.

The general under his seat let out a loud roar that suddenly exploded like thunder, and the city gate slowly opened.

Is this possible?
