Perhaps Ha Chimu and the others would never have thought that these two young men who were rescued by them by accident would join the reserve army of the Red Flame Wolf Cavalry, and finally be selected into the Red Flame Wolf Cavalry, grow up rapidly, and even play a crucial role in subsequent battles.
As for what happened recently, it was different from what Zhang Mu and others had expected. After a long period of time, the Yijinhuoluo Banner branch city was still calm, and no person or force had any unusual changes because of the death of Kanzo.
But the news that Hachimu brought from other cities was that such things happened in almost every branch city, including Su Rui's branch city.
However, apart from themselves, no one caught the culprit behind the incident, basically because they did not take it seriously. But now all of them have disappeared, because the competition for the capital city lord is about to come, and all the branch city lords focus on this. They did not deliberately investigate these things, but Uncle Peng's spies planted in the major branch cities learned from the civilian area that a group of teenagers aged fifteen or sixteen had disappeared.
Zhang Mu deduced that the person who did this was at least a second-level evolver. Then, eight branch cities and eight second-level evolvers could not be accidental events. There must be someone behind them who was directing all of this.
He holds the power of at least eight second-level evolvers in his hands, which is something that no branch city lord can match. This makes Hachimu and others extremely alert.
The suspicion of the Caravan Alliance is growing.
But they still haven't figured out what they are collecting the boy's heart and spine for, which is really weird.
Days passed, and there was only one day left before the competition for the capital city lord began.
"Brother Zhang Mu, it's still hard to find the last spot. Most of the second-level experts that can be used in my branch city are here. The others either have incompetent abilities or are not combat-type evolvers at all."
Ha Chimu was holding a jar of wine, looking somewhat helpless, and complained to Zhang Mu in Zhang Feng's tavern.
Zhang Mu was now wearing a long gown and used his sleeves to cover his left arm. After all, although he and Ha Chimu and others didn't mind, if it was exposed to others, it would still scare the children to tears.
He laughed, and said to him in a comforting way, "If you want to do that, just pick a fighter.
If it is low, it will probably affect the strength of the entire team. Don't I have a second-level mutant beast? Normally, it must be stronger than the average second-level evolver, so don't worry. You should know that the current second-level beast trainers generally don't allow them to participate. The teams in the other seven branch cities will not have the same situation as us."
"That's true. Brother Zhang Mu, your own combat power is enough to crush most of the people in their team. Chixue told me that your little bugs are not easy to deal with. However, mounts don't take up quotas after all, otherwise we would have exceeded the quota long ago. Come to think of it, it's still a loss."
Hachimu looked annoyed, obviously worried about the remaining vacant position in his team.
Seeing his sad face, Zhang Mu felt much happier and said jokingly, "Isn't that Miss Gesang a second-level plant evolver? Brother, you can invite her over. Wouldn't that fill your vacancy?"
"Miss Gesang?"
Ha Chimu's eyes suddenly lit up, but then he shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it still won't work."
"Why, you, Hachimu, are the lord of a city, but you also feel shy sometimes? Is it because you like this girl Gesang that you are afraid of her and dare not ask her for help?"
Hearing Zhang Mu's endless teasing, Ha Chimu coughed a few times and quickly explained, "Brother, why are you talking nonsense? It's true that it's difficult for her to handle as a woman. Look at the reason why she opened that tavern. Isn't it because she wants to live a peaceful life and not let others disturb her?
Moreover, this competition is not a game. If we fight against the powerful mutant beasts that we don't know, it is very likely that any of the ten of us will die. Miss Gesang should also think that I am just a guest of hers who drinks, so why would I come to the Yijinhuoluo Banner branch city to help me."
Zhang Mu saw Ha Chimu picking up the wine jar and drinking it, and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that you, Ha Chimu, are still a passionate person and understand Miss Gesang so well. Nothing has happened yet, but you are so concerned about her. If something really happens in the future, won't you sell us out?"
Ha Chimu looked at Zhang Mu and said seriously, "Brother Zhang Mu, we Mongolians are honest and straightforward. I like Miss Gesang, but apart from personal factors, her strength is not suitable.
I know that your plant-based evolvers are very strong. Brother Zhang Mu, your plant is strong enough to
To illustrate the point, the huge plant grown under Miss Gesang's tavern has amazing power. Sometimes I can feel it when I am half drunk and half awake.
But there is a huge disadvantage for plant-based evolvers, as you know, that is that they cannot be carried around. Of course, you, brother Zhang Mu, are not included. It’s just that not everyone’s mutated plants can be planted in their bodies like you, brother Zhang Mu. I think Miss Gesang certainly can’t.
What use can a second-level plant-type evolver without mutant plants around him have to our team? He may even be worse than an ordinary evolver with a little more strength."
"Hey, brother Hachimu, if Miss Gesang heard this, she would probably not be friends with you. Think about it, if you can fight side by side, wouldn't your revolutionary friendship be sublimated in a minute? Don't say you haven't thought about it in your heart, we are all men, we all understand."
Zhang Mu smiled and looked at Hachimu, winking at him and said.
"Then I was telling the truth. Without the mutant plant by her side, it would be difficult for her to protect her life. If she was called in just because of me, but I had to use my strength to protect her, it would harm my brothers."
Ha Chimu's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at Zhang Mu and spoke righteously.
"Brother Zhang Mu, I feel like you are the worm in my stomach. You really guessed it right. I really want to have a girl I like by my side, because I don't know when I will die.
But if my love is to be exchanged for the lives of the girl and so many of my brothers, then I will never do it."
Seeing the seriousness on Hachimu's face, Zhang Mu knew he couldn't tease him any more, so he said.
"Who said that plant-type evolvers can't move their mutant plants? It's possible, but the cost is quite high. Most people really can't afford it or don't know about it."
Ha Chimu still had the idea of fighting with Gesang in his heart, and his eyes suddenly lit up after hearing Zhang Mu's words.
"Brother, do you have any idea?"
Zhang Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at Hachimu with ill intent.
"As for the solution, of course there is one, but brothers should be clear about accounts. The cost of picking up girls is something you have to pay for yourself, brother."
