The blood vine lotus followed the smell of blood and penetrated every hole. Under Zhang Mu's command, if it couldn't get in, it would keep branching out until it found a gap.
Once the barb broke through the bull's internal organs, it would suddenly take root and expand. The power of the barb made the bull, which was full of vigor just now, instantly wilted. Its front hooves could not support the weight of the body, and it knelt down.
Without the protection of the large army, the few remaining bulls were quickly dealt with by Xu Changguang, Huang Feng and the obsidian worms.
Before Xue Teng Lian could take action to collect the flesh and blood and animal cores of the lone wild bulls, He Shan's anxious voice came from behind him.
"Hurry up and deal with it. The second wave of beasts has entered my detection range."
The eyes of several people suddenly became serious. Although the guards in the four directions had been dealt with, this situation did not give them any chance to breathe.
The work to the east of Ha Chimu and to the north of Zhang Mu was completed almost at the same time. The big centipede was very resistant to beatings. It is true that a centipede is still alive even after death. Zhang Feng said that he had no interest in the centipede meat, so it went into the stomach of the blood vine lotus.
Zhang Mu became the busiest person on the entire battlefield. After capturing the giant centipede, he also had to clean up the Shield Wolf Riders.
Qiqidal's Shield Wolf Cavalry Elite was not just for nothing. With the nine of them working together, they were even faster than Zhang Mu and his men. They had only one way to attack, which was to push and stab, then push and stab again.
Fierce and domineering, it seems that compared with the violent mutant beasts, they are the humanoid beasts.
However, even the Shield Wolf Riders were not the fastest, because there was the incredible existence of Yuan Rui to the south, and Uncle Peng had no chance to make a move at all. The Soul Flame swept through them, and dozens of second-order ones became stiff and lost their minds.
Then, simply, Green Ivy acted like a giant fan, beating these mutant beasts, whose bodies were restrained by mental power and unable to move, into piles of meat paste.
At this time, Zhang Mu had returned to his original position. He lowered his head and glanced at the position of his left arm.
The flesh and blood of so many second-level mutant beasts, under the nourishment of the blood vine lotus, have become slightly bloody, but it is still not obvious.
However, Zhang Mu was already very satisfied. This was only the first wave of beasts, so he just had hope. The most feared thing was that there was not even a little hope. Fortunately, the second-level flesh and blood was sufficient this time.
Green ivy cannot move, and because Zhang Feng's speed of collecting flesh and blood is too slow, he gives this task to Zhang Mu. He only needs to give him 30% of the collected flesh and blood.
Battlefield scavenger!
However, Zhang Mu was very happy to be a battlefield cleaner because the benefits were tangible.
"Brother Zhang Mu, that's a big one!"
He Shan's warning came from behind, and Zhang Mu's mental power spread out, and he instantly found the enemy's trace.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
They are three galloping mammoths!
"Chang Guang, Huang Feng, go and switch leaders Hachimu and Qiqidar! Quick! We have to fight in close combat this time!"
Zhang Mu glanced in the other three directions. This time, only the offensive from Ha Chimu's direction was slightly weaker, so he could only ask them for help.
The elemental attacks of Xu Changguang and Huang Feng could never break the defense of these three mammoths as big as mountains.
After hearing Zhang Mu's call for help, Ha Chimu and the others realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately switched positions.
"Good boy, big guy!"
Hachimu observed the mammoth's huge size and sighed.
Zhang Mu played with the obsidian dagger in his hand, looked into the distance, and said helplessly.
"Go ahead! There's no hope. The power of the ambergris of City Lord Qiqidal is too strong. It can attract anything."
"I don't dare to fight them head-on. They want me to fight flexibly with this huge shield. Forget it. If I don't go forward, they will rush in front of us. Go!"
As soon as Qizidar finished speaking, the three of them shot out like cannonballs, each of them facing a mammoth.
A pure hand-to-hand combat!
Zhang Mu, whose lips were a little dry, took the pot of water handed over by Ha Chimu and said in a hoarse voice.
"It's been three days, hasn't it?"
Ha Chimu leaned against the broken stone next to him and said, "If we count from the second day, it has been three days."
After drinking the water, Zhang Mu raised the empty kettle and said with a smile, "Brother, you didn't tell me at the beginning that ambergris was so potent. I only slept for three hours in these three days and three nights before I was pulled up."
Ha Chimu spread his hands helplessly and said, "Who knows? The beasts here are hiding too deep, but the effect of this small bottle of ambergris should only go so far."
Zhang Mu looked up at the starry sky and muttered to himself, "Yeah, it's finally almost quiet."
These three days were simply hellish torture, with wave after wave of beasts coming, sometimes on all sides, sometimes on two or three sides alone.
Sometimes they are large groups of the same species, and sometimes they are powerful solitary mutant beasts, but those that can walk alone in the wilderness are extremely powerful.
A mutant scorpion two days ago had reached the peak of the second stage. It took everyone's combined efforts to barely subdue it, but three Shield Wolf Riders were corroded by venom during the battle. It was only because Yuan Rui exposed her healing ability that they were pulled back from the brink of death.
The farther the scent of ambergris spreads, the stronger mutant beasts it attracts, both in terms of quantity and quality.
Fortunately, their two teams were strong enough, and the frequency of the beast tide gradually decreased with the passage of time, so they were able to barely hold on. However, everyone was exhausted and listless, and three people were injured.
It can only be said that Yuan Rui's healing ability plays a huge role in this kind of battle. If it weren't for her, this team would not have been able to hold on until now.
But precisely because of this, Zhang Mu was somewhat worried, because this ability was not only exposed here, but also exposed to the sight of hundreds of thousands of people, and would definitely be noticed by those with ulterior motives.
But there was no choice. It was not worth exposing their strength and sacrificing several important lives. The loss of one person would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of this Shield Wolf Cavalry team, let alone three.
At this moment, He Shan's hoarse voice came over, his vocal cords almost completely destroyed by the notifications in the past few days.
Although he was almost mute, it was a blessing in disguise. His understanding of the use of the earth element became even deeper.
"To the northeast, a small herd of animals is approaching, 25 kilometers away, with a number of between 15 and 30."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Ha Chimu threw a marching water bag towards Heshan.
The two have become accustomed to He Shan's accurate intelligence. Now, since there is basically no situation where mutant beasts attack from two directions at the same time, they take turns to rest.
Now it is the turn of Hachimu and the others. They will wait until the beast tide arrives and then decide whether to wake them up. If the two of them can handle it, there is no need to disturb their rest.
The two of them slowly stood up and looked into the dark distance.
"What's up, Brother Zhang Mu, did you sense it? What is it this time?
The noise wasn't that big, a little leopard, or some unknown insect?"
Zhang Mu's eyes gradually became serious as he looked into the distance.
"It's Su Rui and Huang Yan."
"What? How could it be them?"
