Zhang Mu slept very deeply. The sunlight shining on his eyelids became warm to a certain degree before he woke up slowly, his eyes still a little bleary.

"Is it the fourth day of the apocalypse?" He muttered to himself as he looked at the sun that was halfway up above his head.

"Uncle, are you awake?"

Yuan Rui's voice came from behind him. Zhang Mu turned his head and took the water and bread handed to him by Yuan Rui. These were put in his backpack. It seemed that Yuan Rui had already eaten. He was sleeping soundly.

Zhang Mu stroked his left arm gently. Everything that happened seemed so exaggerated, but the blood vine lotus hidden inside that was slightly connected to his soul told him that everything was real.

"Do I have the capital to awaken and evolve with superpowers? Haha, it's really not easy." Zhang Mu laughed at himself and didn't think about it anymore. After all, external strength is also a part of strength. As long as it can be used by him, it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.

"Hmm? Where's Xiao Hei? Yuan Rui, did you see where he went? Why didn't I see him? Wasn't he supposed to be on guard at night? Did he get lazy again?"

Seeing that there were no Obsidian Worms around, and that it had not shrunk to hide on Yuan Rui's body, Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel a little angry. It seemed that it was time to teach this Obsidian Worm a lesson. It had not taken his repeated warnings to heart. What should he do if something went wrong?

"That shouldn't be it, but you can see for yourself. I'm too lazy to bother with him." Yuan Rui pointed in a direction to Zhang Mu with a look of disdain.

Zhang Mu walked slowly in the direction Yuan Rui said, and sure enough, he found the obsidian worm feasting on its meal behind a pile of rocks.

Its huge body was seen moving. Being so close, Zhang Mu could even feel the joy in its heart.

After seeing clearly what it was doing, Zhang Mu was speechless. As expected, even though its intelligence had improved, the obsidian's hobbies were still the same as before. It was seen holding the head of a mutant beast whose original appearance could no longer be recognized, slurping the brains, eating them with great sweetness.

"Why are you hiding here to eat?"

Zhang Mu crossed his arms over his chest and asked the Obsidian worm who was enjoying the feast with great interest.

In fact, the obsidian worm was even more aware of his approach than Zhang Mu, but it ignored him. After all, eating was the most important thing. But since Zhang Mu asked, it had to give its master some face. The same helpless voice came into Zhang Mu's mind.

"Aren't these the mutant beasts that were attracted by the smell of blood last night? I didn't disturb your sleep, so I killed them and ate two of them at night. I was hungry this morning, so I ate the remaining one. But that girl saw me. She despised me. I can't afford to offend her, but can I hide from her? I had no choice but to hide here and eat. Am I easy?"

Zhang Mu understood now. It must be because the obsidian bug's eating habits were too ugly in the morning, which disgusted Yuan Rui, so she let it run here to eat. Zhang Mu immediately patted the obsidian bug's carapace and said, "Thank you for your hard work and good work for keeping watch."

The Obsidian replied to Zhang Mu with disdain and continued eating. "Don't talk nonsense. Let's get down to business. Give me a few hundred Yuanjing to satisfy my hunger. I'm a little tired of meat."

Zhang Mu immediately slapped the Black Obsidian Worm on the head. "A few hundred? Just a snack? You are living a comfortable life. It seems that you have absorbed all the energy of the mutant monkey king yesterday. That's why you are so confident."

With that in mind, Zhang Mu carefully scanned the body of the obsidian worm again and found that it had indeed changed. The newly grown claws were completely covered with granite. The carapace of the obsidian worm began to lose its luster and became rough and steady. The lines on the forehead did not change much, and were still golden. It should have reached a limit and could not be changed by eating more.

Zhang Mu ignored the obsidian worm and packed up to leave, so he called Yuan Rui over.

Zhang Mu sat on the ground and began to replan his route.

Now that the purpose of taking a detour had been achieved, Zhang Mu carefully thought about the specific map of the points from Longmen Grottoes to Xi'an City, and a sand table instantly formed in his mind.

With the Blood Vine Lotus already in hand, the Obsidian Worm, which has evolved again, is now at the top of the first-order. Moreover, it is now in the normal weakening stage after the debugging period, so it can completely kill its way through. The line between the two points is the shortest. If Zhang Mu arrives one day earlier and trades one day earlier, his income will be much higher.

Zhang Mu's eyes lit up, and he shouted towards the obsidian worm, "Stop eating, and get out of here!"

The obsidian worm had actually eaten almost everything. After hearing Zhang Mu's call, it dropped the skull in its hand, flew up unsteadily, and ran to Yuan Rui's side, then lay down obediently.

However, it was very smart to rub the meat on the corner of its mouth in the grass. This made Yuan Rui less disgusted and let Zhang Mu carry it up to the Black Obsidian.

The insect's carapace, while quietly warning it, "If you continue to eat so disgustingly in the future, I won't play with you even if you become smaller."

.The Obsidian nodded vigorously, but it was unknown how much he heard Yuan Rui's words.

Along the way, Zhang Mu was constantly testing the power of the Blood Vine Lotus. Yuan Rui originally disdained the Black Obsidian Worms, but when Zhang Mu and his companions encountered a group of hundreds of zombies, she completely hid beside the Black Obsidian Worms and only dared to secretly glance in Zhang Mu's direction again and again.

The blood vine lotus on Zhang Mu's left arm covered his entire arm, then suddenly grew up, and ten vines formed to protect Zhang Mu's body. Zhang Mu easily walked through the encirclement of the zombies alone, and all the zombies close to Zhang Mu's body had their blood extracted and turned into mummies.

Although the zombies had not completely lost their ability to move due to the loss of blood, the Blood Vine Lotus only needed to lightly sweep and poke at them, and these zombies that had lost the toughness of their skin were easily cut in half. What's worse, some of the zombies whose blood had been extracted too thoroughly were swept away by a vine and turned into powder.

And the most important thing is that this blood vine lotus has no idea what fatigue is, and as a large amount of blood is replenished into it, it becomes more and more energetic. From the beginning, it simply protected Zhang Mu's body, and then took the initiative to attack.

Zhang Mu simply walked through the zombie swarm slowly, as if he was taking a walk in his own back garden, and these hundreds of first-level zombies were completely wiped out.

There were also survivors on the road who saw Zhang Mu's mighty display. Some were afraid and dared not come forward, while others who wanted to survive came to hug Zhang Mu's thighs, but even with Yuan Rui's pleas, Zhang Mu did not take them in. He summoned the blood vine lotus in front of the people who were entangled, and let the vines with barbs dangle in front of them, and just said lightly, "If you want to become the food of my pet, you can try to stay."

Then, in the extremely frightened eyes of the survivors, he left behind a cold back and slowly walked away.

Zhang Mu is not a savior, and he doesn't have the time to save these ordinary people. For him, time is money, it is his life, and he can't afford to waste it.

After ten days of traveling at full speed, Yuan Rui was so tired that she fell asleep on the back of the Black Obsidian Bug. Zhang Mu, with a tired face, looked at the two big words "Xi'an" falling on the highway in the distance and smiled with relief.

"Ten days? Xi'an, we're finally here."
