Zhang Mu had good eyesight and immediately saw the earth dragon whose body he had just cut off. It was now hiding in a relatively backward position and did not come into contact with his mental shield at the first time, so it was very obvious.
He must have experienced Zhang Mu's methods before, and he was still frightened. Although he called for help, he still didn't dare to go up.
As Zhang Mu was retreating, he saw that the earth dragon whose head had just been cut off had grown back the remaining part of its body, but it was just pure flesh, and the serrated mouth that had been there before had not grown out.
"You really think we're pushovers." Zhang Mu couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw the mutated earth dragons twisting more and more violently as the mental shield shook.
At this time, the Obsidian Bug suddenly sent a message saying, "Tugou said there are only a hundred meters left. What do you think? Do you want me to take action? Release the full aura to shock them."
"Didn't you say that if you leak your complete aura, the second-order mutant beast king above will know it immediately?" Zhang Mu asked with some confusion.
The Obsidian Worm's voice followed closely, "Yes, they will indeed find out, but this is the only way now. My second-level aura will definitely deter them for a period of time. This period of time is enough for the dead dog to break through the distance of Luoyang City. Even if the mutant beast king above discovers my existence, even if he doesn't hesitate at the first time, it will be enough for us to escape."
"Okay, I'm afraid my mental shield can't hold up. I can't rely on the blood vine lotus alone. You should take action to scare them, but you can't stay. The biggest threat is from above."
The conversation between the man and the insect happened in an instant, and Zhang Mu quickly gave the obsidian insect a reply.
These vigorous earth dragons originally lived underground, and the earth element’s preference for them was too great. The power they released was infinitely close to the second level, and more than a dozen of them were attacking together, as if they had released all their accumulated energy onto Zhang Mu’s mental shield.
At the same moment when Zhang Mu gave the Obsidian Bug's answer, his mental shield shattered.
The earth dragon would show no mercy. The invisible obstacle was finally gone. The food was right in front of it, so how could it reduce its attack strength? It had to swallow it. It opened its big serrated mouth and bit towards Zhang Mu and the others.
Seeing Zhang Mu in trouble, the obsidian worm no longer hesitated and directly released its breath of the second-order mutant beast, which exploded and hit the earth dragons.
In front of you.
Although it still remained in a tiny state, in the eyes of the mutant earth dragon beasts, the aura emanating from the tiny obsidian worms had undergone a drastic change. The mutant beasts' strict hierarchical instincts made them hesitate for a moment, and their offensive slowed down a bit.
Sure enough, there is hope!
Zhang Mu's eyes lit up. He just needed to run now. There was no need to get entangled with these disgusting big earthworms. Haohao was already hanging on his neck. He grabbed the obsidian worm that flew into the air and quickly retreated.
However, what neither he nor the obsidian worms had expected was that the hesitation of these earth dragons just now was only a flash, and they bent their bodies slightly and continued to rush towards the crowd, and their attack was even more fierce.
What happened? These earth dragons were not successfully deterred by the second-level obsidian worms?
The obsidian worm suddenly felt that its dignity was challenged. They were just a group of first-level low-level earth-type mutant beasts. It was already very polite to them by not eating them. Now that its aura was exposed, it was actually of no use to them at all. It felt embarrassed in front of Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui.
"Don't be impulsive. Retreat first. It's still dozens of meters away. We'll be there in a few blinks of an eye." Zhang Mu didn't want to cause any more trouble. Of course, he knew what was going on in his obsidian worm's mind, so he quickly grabbed it and stopped it from leaving.
There was no way the Obsidian Worm could suppress its violent temper. It just restored its original shape. Even though the wind element here was not abundant, it would teach these ignorant earth dragons how to respect their second-level seniors relying solely on its physical strength.
But at this moment, the soil layer above Zhang Mu and the others suddenly exploded, revealing a cylindrical passage that was more than one meter thick. The sudden sunlight that shone in made all the creatures present close their eyes out of habit.
Were you spotted? So quick!
They should be near the city wall of Luoyang City now. Zhang Mu clearly heard a beast roar and another beam of light. This time Zhang Mu saw clearly that it was fire. The flame beam blasted through the entire soil layer in an instant. Then there was a series of rising and falling beast roars, and the flame beam bombarded the soil layer together.
It's so powerful, and this flame looks familiar.
Dirt dust flew everywhere and rocks kept falling, but they were all pulled away from Zhang Mu and the others' bodies by the vines of Zhang Mu's Blood Vine Lotus, protecting their safety in all directions.
Fortunately, the control of the soil layer is not in the hands of the mutant wolfhound.
The attack from above was so powerful, but at this time, the mutant wolfhound barked softly a few times, calling Zhang Mu. He then discovered that the wolfhound had already opened the tunnel leading to Luoyang City and was waiting for Zhang Mu and the others at the other end.
Those earth dragons seemed to be more stimulated by the sunlight. Their eyes had degenerated due to long-term lack of exposure to sunlight, and now their aversion to the sunlight had surpassed their interest in hunting.
At that moment of hesitation, Zhang Mu had already led Yuan Rui, Hao Hao and the others to retreat to the protection area of Luoyang City. It was only a thin line away, but it seemed like an insurmountable chasm that deterred all the mutant beasts.
The group of earth dragons saw that Zhang Mu had retreated to the area of Luoyang City. They also sensed that the aura of this city must not be offended, so they gave up.
That’s right, I gave up directly.
What Zhang Mu and his companions could not have expected was that these dozen earth dragons actually attacked the mutant beasts above. The cracked soil layer slowly condensed, and with a bang, they flew towards the mutant beasts above.
It turns out that this group of earth dragons are really not in the same group as the mutant beasts above. What's wrong with these earth dragons? They actually dared to attack the second-level mutant beasts one after another, just like Zhang Mu's obsidian worm and the unknown mutant king above. This completely subverted the instinctive principles of the mutant beasts.
No wonder the mutant beast king above just stopped when he discovered the unusual movement underground and did not act rashly. It turned out that he mistook them for earth dragons swimming on the ground. It was probably because the noise was too loud and too close to Luoyang City that aroused the king's suspicion.
The earth dragons' offensive began to fall into a disadvantage. The second-order fire pillars were too crushing. Just when Zhang Mu thought they were going to escape, the tails of these earth dragons began to tremble, just like rattlesnakes. Zhang Mu thought it was a provocation at first, but when the surrounding soil began to break open and hundreds of identical heads emerged, Zhang Mu no longer thought so and immediately swallowed his saliva.
It turned out that he was calling for help. It seemed that he was going to start a battle with the beasts besieging the city above!
What on earth are these earth dragons?
Zhang Mu, who was watching the show, became excited and stared at the light without blinking, wanting to see the mysterious mutant beast king show up.
The war between the two groups of beasts is about to break out!
