Unfortunately, the internal fight that Zhang Mu wanted to see the most did not happen, and it seemed that the second-level mutant beast king above gave in. From Zhang Mu's perspective, he never saw the true appearance of the mutant beast king from beginning to end. After a sound of trampling, he left with the herd of beasts that surrounded the crack in the ground.

Zhang Mu was actually very curious at first why this second-level mutant beast was so afraid of the group of earth dragons below. Even with the bonus of the earth element environment, they were only infinitely close to the second level, and their strength was still within the range of the first level.

But when Zhang Mu used the light to see the surrounding environment clearly, he immediately understood why the second-level mutant beast king was so fearful.

The herd of earth dragons, which had numbered over a thousand just now, were still continuously gathering in this direction, as if they were endless, and the rate of increase in their numbers had not decreased at all.

More than a dozen earth dragons broke through Zhang Mu's mental shield. The number has reached hundreds of times this amount, which is enough to show the strength of this force. And the most important thing is that this group of earth dragons are not affected by the level of pressure brought to them by the second-level mutant beasts. No matter who you are, you will be beaten if you provoke them.

With such a brainless madman, it’s no wonder that the mutant beast king has no intention of fighting at all.

Zhang Mu estimated that if the breath of the Obsidian Worm's wind-type second-level mutant beast had not leaked out, the mutant beast king on the ground would not have broken through the ground layer and had nothing to do but cause trouble for these earth dragons.

It's really a headache. Their main target should still be Luoyang City. They will not waste their energy on such an undoubted fight. In a one-on-one situation, its subordinates are definitely no match for the earth dragons, even if its strength can crush this group of earth dragons without the existence of second-level mutant beasts.

However, personal ability is not so important when the number of people increases.

Now Zhang Mu and others are staring at thousands of earth dragons from afar. The number is just a rough estimate by Zhang Mu, and he doesn't know the exact number, but he believes that the earthworms in the soil are not a small number.

"Uncle, let's go up first. It's so weird to be stared at by these big snakes. Will they really not come over? Maybe they didn't dare to come over because there were so few of them just now. Now there are so many of them. If they don't care about it and rush over, we will never be able to escape."

. "

Yuan Rui seemed a little worried. Although she knew about the existence of Epoch Merchants and Zhang Mu had once explained to her the importance of Epoch Stores to a city, she still felt a little uneasy when being stared at by thousands of slender monsters with their jagged mouths wide open, fearing that they would be swallowed up in a fit of impulsiveness.

Zhang Mu smiled and glanced at Yuan Rui who was hiding behind him. He was just wondering why this group of earth dragons would not be suppressed by the high-level mutant beasts. This was against common sense, and the earth dragons he knew in later generations also followed this rule. What was so special about this group of earth dragons?

However, Zhang Mu was very confident that the Earth Dragon Beasts would not dare to break through the protection range of Luoyang City. He said easily, "Let alone the four-digit number of their tribesmen now, even if there were ten times more, the big earthworms would definitely not dare to set foot in Luoyang City."

Seeing Zhang Mu's confident face, Yuan Rui seemed to calm down a little. She asked curiously, "Is No. 37 really that strong? Uncle, how strong is he?"

Zhang Mu smiled and replied, "Very strong, so strong that I don't know if I can surpass him in this lifetime. He's like a daunting mountain. And it's not just No. 37, all Epoch merchants are so strong. They don't belong to this world. They are strong outsiders. Fortunately, they have no ill will towards humans."

"Is that so? Uncle, you were the first to know the Epoch Merchants, so it's no wonder you know so much about them. Why don't they help us? Since they are so powerful, it should be easy for them to help us clean up all those monsters and zombies, so that so many people wouldn't be left homeless and devastated."

Zhang Mu's originally playful face gradually became serious. He said solemnly to Yuan Rui and Hao Hao, "It's not as simple as you think. Hao Hao, you have heard it clearly. There is no free lunch in the world, and others are not obliged to help you. Between friends, helping you is a favor, and not helping you is a duty. Moreover, the relationship between us and Jiyuan merchants should actually be more like that between superiors and subordinates.

I am a little better off with No. 37, because I am the first Epoch Agent he recruited on Earth, so we communicate more. However, he usually does not talk about any friendship with ordinary Epoch Agents. The only thing he cares about is transactions and interests.

This is the core purpose of merchants coming to Earth in our era.

They are now taking away the Earth's spiritual energy extracts through us in exchange for helping us humans. It's all just a transaction."

Zhang Mu's eyes became serious, and his tone became heavy as he looked at the two of them.

"We humans can only rely on ourselves."

The two were also frightened by Zhang Mu's sudden seriousness. Haohao didn't dare to speak, but just nodded continuously. Yuan Rui looked at Zhang Mu cautiously and said, "Uncle, I just asked casually, why did you suddenly become so serious?"

Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment, then his wandering eyes returned to their previous state. He regained his composure and said in a relaxed tone, "Maybe I suddenly thought of something from the past and felt a little emotional. Did I scare you? Don't mind my attitude, but what I just said is the truth, so you still have to keep it in mind."

After he finished speaking, he called out to the mutant wolfhound lying beside him bored, "Get up, dig a hole upwards, we're going out, let's go into Luoyang City for a stroll. It feels like we've been out for quite a while, and I don't know how Wang Liang and the others are doing."

The mutant wolfhound shook off the dirt on its body, growled, and was finally ready to move. Although it was an earth-type mutant beast, it was different from those earth dragons that were used to staying in the dark all year round. It was still a wolfhound, and it felt uncomfortable being bound, so it needed to bask in the sun and stretch its muscles.

boom!

The mutant wolfhound, eager to get out, controlled the rock walls on both sides to separate, creating a hole in the ground inside Luoyang City that was large enough for two people to pass through.

Zhang Mu grabbed its body that was about to jump out and pulled it down. Under the mutant wolfhound's resentful eyes, he held Yuan Rui and Hao Hao and climbed up with the help of the blood vine lotus.

But just when they were about to reach the cave entrance, Zhang Mu heard a sudden burst of orderly footsteps coming from outside.

Are they the supporting troops in Luoyang City?

Just when he popped his head out and was about to say something, more than a dozen weapons were instantly placed on Zhang Mu's neck.

Then a faint voice sounded in the ears of Zhang Mu and others.

"I thought what attracted the beasts to the foot of the city must be you, a little mouse that burrows into the ground."

"What's your purpose? Tell me your name!"
