"Yuan Rui, where is Xiao Hei?"

Zhang Mu looked around but still couldn't find any trace of the Black Obsidian. He waited until Yuan Rui calmed down before asking, because he still couldn't contact the Black Obsidian and couldn't determine its location.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei suddenly became smaller. I asked him what happened but he didn't respond at all. He fell to the ground. I had no choice but to put him in my pocket and wait for you to come out.

But not long after, the zombie you killed just now suddenly jumped out. I thought he was going to bite me, but he just roared and controlled me. Then, he snatched the dagger you gave me and put it against my neck. "Yuan Rui said this and felt aggrieved again.

She only knew that this dagger was also very precious to Zhang Mu. However, she kept such a valuable thing for herself for self-defense, but it was taken away by the enemy. She was afraid that Zhang Mu would blame her.

Knowing that the obsidian worm was in Yuan Rui's clothes at this time, Zhang Mu felt relieved.

However, how could Zhang Mu care so much? Seeing Yuan Rui about to burst into tears again, Zhang Mu quickly stroked her hair and comforted her in the most gentle tone possible, "It's okay, aren't we all back? There's nothing to blame yourself for. I was stupid. Your body has not been strengthened at all. It's normal that the power of this dagger has not been exerted. Besides, that person is controlling the zombies to attack."

"So he just put the Obsidian into a deep sleep, instead of controlling it? I was wondering, how could he still have the energy to control a zombie to negotiate with me? You talk so powerfully, are you the second-ranked Era agent in Xi'an City? I'm afraid this is your limit."

Zhang Mu snorted coldly and said to himself, "I was almost intimidated by this guy. He couldn't even muster the extra mental power to control the obsidian worm, and he was pretending to be so high and mighty in front of me."

As for the obsidian worm, Zhang Mu had no way to deal with it. It was the enemy that had given it a mental shock and it had automatically fallen into a deep sleep, and it could not even maintain its original shape. Zhang Mu had almost no way to deal with mental power. He could fight with his tenacious will, but there was still a big loophole between Yuan Rui and the obsidian worm.

It seems like it's time to get some spiritual defense stuff. After all, with such a large population base, although spiritual evolvers are rare, they are not necessarily impossible to come by.

Moreover, all the evolvers who can awaken spiritual abilities are meticulous people. If they have good intentions, it would be fine, but if they are Zhang Mu's enemies, and use the people around them and the mutants as a weapon,

If the beast is the breakthrough point, Zhang Mu may be helpless.

"Yuan Rui, do you mean that you didn't see the person behind the scenes who controlled the zombies from beginning to end?"

Zhang Mu turned around and asked Yuan Rui, thinking that if that person was careless and Yuan Rui saw his face, he could take targeted precautions.

But Zhang Mu was doomed to be disappointed. Yuan Rui thought about it carefully, then shook her head decisively and said softly, "I didn't see it. When I was still looking after Xiao Hei, the zombie rushed out from behind and controlled me. I didn't see anyone else around."

Hearing Yuan Rui say this, Zhang Mu nodded thoughtfully.

Is he really that cautious? He doesn't even dare to show up when Zhang Mu is not around?

It seems that this second-ranked Era agent in Xi'an City is indeed a tricky person.

Zhang Mu suddenly felt a headache again. It is easy to dodge an open attack, but it is really hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

Forget about all that. The most important thing now is to sign Yuan Rui’s identity.

Zhang Mu buried the matter in his heart without thinking about it any more. He then turned to look at Yuan Rui and said to her in a serious manner, "Yuan Rui, let me tell you what I was doing just now."

Yuan Rui also became interested, and after a hum, she urged Zhang Mu to speak quickly. Originally, if Zhang Mu didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask about it, and buried some doubts in her heart, but now that Zhang Mu was willing to talk, her curiosity naturally exploded, and she pulled Zhang Mu to ask him to quickly tell her what he had just done.

"I don't know what happened. After the end of Luoyang City began that day, I walked into a hidden space similar to the one I'm in now and met a person."

Yuan Rui held her cheek, did not interrupt Zhang Mu, and listened quietly with her big eyes blinking.

Zhang Mu continued, "That person said his name was No. 37, and his identity was called the Epoch Merchant, and the name of the hidden space I entered was the Epoch Merchant.

Then, I became that person's agent.

In order to complete his task, I need to continue trading in the Epoch Stores in major cities to exchange for various items that can strengthen myself.

Do you understand? "

In order to make it easier for Yuan Rui to understand, Zhang Mu deliberately made his statement concise and summarized it, telling her the core content of the Jiyuan agent merchant and giving her some time to digest and react.

After a while, Yuan Rui hummed and said, "I see. No wonder you were so anxious to come to Xi'an. Are you thinking of something important?"

He hesitated and didn't say anything. I thought, uncle, you are really good at hiding it.

Tsk, big liar."

Zhang Mu scratched his nose awkwardly and immediately said, "Now there is an opportunity for you to become an agent of Jiyuan like me. Do you want to go? I think it's a good idea."

Yuan Rui, who was originally grumbling and blaming Zhang Mu, suddenly brightened up and asked Zhang Mu excitedly, "Uncle, you are kidding me, can I also become an agent of the so-called Jiyuan merchant like you?"

"Yes, there is still a vacancy here. I thought about it carefully. Since we have come here together, why not let you become an agent of Jiyuan as well? The benefits you can get are actually quite large. Most of my strength has also grown with it.

So, what do you think? "

Zhang Mu spread his hands and looked at Yuan Rui with an inquiring look.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Rui answered Zhang Mu without hesitation, "Of course I am willing."

In fact, Yuan Rui was not attracted by the profits Zhang Mu mentioned. She just didn't want to be a burden to Zhang Mu. Since Zhang Mu's strength was closely related to his identity as an agent of Jiyuan, if she became stronger, she would not cause trouble to Zhang Mu like she had done in the past few days. Instead, she would be able to help him better.

She knew that Zhang Mu would not harm her.

Unconditional trust, but it was given to someone who deserved her trust.

Zhang Mu also knew Yuan Rui's temper. Anyway, with Zhang Mu in this position, it would definitely be a hundred benefits with no harm.

I looked at the time and there was still half an hour until twelve o'clock.

If she can make it in time, Yuan Rui can complete the first transaction today. If she misses today, the price of goods in the Era area may rise a little.

He then instructed Yuan Rui, "Go into the place I just walked into. There will be a big, stupid guy in a red robe inside. Just tell him that you want to start trading goods from the Jiyuan region. Don't waste your time talking to him. Remember, you must complete the transaction today. You still have half an hour."

Hearing Zhang Mu's urging, and coupled with Yuan Rui's own strong curiosity, she quickly stood up and ran towards the Jiyuan Store.

Just when Yuan Rui was about to run to the limit, Zhang Mu suddenly thought of something and shouted at Yuan Rui's back, "Use all the gold leaves to buy oil tea!"

"I know!"

Yuan Rui waved to Zhang Mu without looking back, and disappeared from Zhang Mu's sight.
