Volume 1_Chapter 72 Running around



Zhang Mu first rode the mutant wolfhound out of Luoyang City, and found a direction to search for traces of mutant beasts. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Zhang Mu searched for an entire afternoon but did not find any large mutant beasts. He even suspected that the nose of the mutant wolfhound sitting under his butt was just a decoration.

But after seeing the innocent look in the wolfhound's eyes, Zhang Mu was helpless. He was really unlucky. There were no mutant beasts staying nearby. He was too stubborn and chased too deep in one direction. Now he could only return to the gathering place in shame.

Fortunately, after returning to the gathering place, Zhang Mu got a list of mutant beast information compiled by Wang Liang, which was a bit comforting. This showed the wisdom of Zhang Mu's decision. After all, gathering information is not particularly related to personal combat power, so when most of the people in the gathering place were gone, leaving behind almost 100 elderly, weak, women and children, the information he found was considerable.

But now that night had slowly fallen, Zhang Mu no longer had any thoughts of leaving the city.

Under the light, he slowly flipped through the notebook that contained information about the mutant beasts, and marked off a few locations with the most complete information with a marker. He planned to go to these locations first. They were all quite close to Luoyang City. Mainly because these ordinary people or ordinary evolvers who had not awakened their powers did not dare to go too far, and basically went out in groups for protection.

Zhang Mu scribbled on the notebook and finally decided on the five places he would visit tomorrow. Then he turned off the lights and went to bed.

.......After waking up, Zhang Mu took out a thousand kilograms of food and spoke to Wang Liang, asking him to notify the ordinary people who submitted the information yesterday, and first distribute rations to them according to the wages of the original gathering place. If the information is confirmed to be true, the rewards will be distributed, which will first serve as their most basic wages for going out.

After all, they didn't work in the gathering place, and if Zhang Mu didn't give them some food, they would probably starve to death before Zhang Mu gave them the reward.

This news instantly calmed the uneasy people. They didn't expect Zhang Mu to be so generous that he distributed food to them before confirming the authenticity of the news.

However, in order to prevent someone from staying outside the city for a day and falsely reporting information to get basic food, Wang Liang later added another rule. If the data brought up was not found by Zhang Mu in person and there was no trace of any mutant beasts gathering, it would likely anger Zhang Mu, and then the gathering place would not be able to protect him, and he would be driven out or die. It all depended on Zhang Mu's mood, and Wang Liang would not stop it.

After receiving this reminder, some people who were ready to make a move immediately gave up their thoughts and started searching for clues honestly.

No one could bear Zhang Mu's anger after wasting their time. They were not fools. They were just blinded by the emotions of profit, laziness and fear of death.

The gathering place in the city was bustling with activity, but Zhang Mu outside the city was having a headache. He had just found four coordinates provided by others, and indeed found traces of mutant beasts, but still couldn't find them. It might be that ordinary people didn't dare to approach, and when they saw a few mutant beasts that were alone, they returned to the gathering place to report, and they were indeed able to describe them in detail and specificity.

But now, after a night, not to mention those lone mutant beasts, not even a single mutant beast hair was left.

Zhang Mu was very depressed now, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't demand too much from ordinary people and ask them to go deep into the information for him.

Now, the small village in front of Zhang Mu is the last most reliable place where large mutant beasts exist in his hands. If there is no more, Zhang Mu can only look through the notebook and try his luck.

After squatting for a long time, Zhang Mu did not enter without permission, because he did not know what kind of mutant beasts stayed in the village. According to the description in the notebook, they should be walking beasts. When this ordinary person saw them, there were said to be dozens of them. Even if there were only the number he saw, Zhang Mu's trip was not considered empty-handed.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

There were roars of beasts coming from the village. Zhang Mu clenched his fists tightly and looked ahead with shining eyes.

Finally!

The number just heard was definitely over dozens, which was enough.

Zhang Mu, who was worried about the missed trip just now, immediately became excited. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to earn dozens of beast cores.

There was no better way, Zhang Mu could only let the mutant wolfhound go and lure them. Zhang Mu was not so arrogant as to face a group of mutant beasts with unknown numbers and abilities. These were not ordinary mutant beasts like the mutant domestic pigs and wild monkeys, which were not very aggressive in themselves. Even if they were stimulated by the evolutionary ripples, their ferocity would only be increased to a limited extent.

It is very likely that these mutant animals were originally predators at the top level in the food chain of nature.

The mutant wolfhound was pushed out by Zhang Mu with resentment. Under Zhang Mu's encouraging eyes, it walked to the village intersection reluctantly. It probably felt a little upset in its heart, and regardless of the trembling caused by the breath emitted by dozens of mutant beasts, it howled with all its might.

"Woof! Woof!"

The long sound really seemed to be a transition to the direction of the wolf, with the meaning of howling at the moon. Zhang Mu was secretly surprised. Was this going to bring out the blood of his ancestors? Zhang Mu couldn't help but look at the wolf.

The dog has some expectations.

Anyway, Zhang Mu told it that after it howled to summon the mutant beasts inside, if the enemy chased it, it just had to run away and didn't need to fight. Moreover, Zhang Mu also promised it a lot of Yuan Crystals and beast cores, so it worked so hard.

The wanton barking of a dog instantly brought to an abrupt end the lively roars of animals in the village.

The chilled atmosphere was a bit heavy. The mutant wolfhound pressed its paws on the ground, pretending to be calm, but its eyes would occasionally glance in the direction of Zhang Mu, who was a few hundred meters behind it.

At this moment, the sound of orderly footsteps came from far away.

Zhang Mu took a closer look and instantly took a breath of cold air.

My goodness! The mutant beasts, each of which was taller than a wolfhound, were lined up in a row, stacked in three layers. Although their bodies were covered with spikes, the faint stripes and the word "king" on their heads made Zhang Mu instantly recognize that this was the original king of beasts, the tiger.

Zhang Mu roughly counted them and found that there were at least 100 of them. With nearly 100 tigers, I'm afraid all the tigers in the entire tiger park have come out.

Being stared at with disdain by a hundred tigers, the mutant wolfhound was already trembling with fear. Although it was also a leader-level mutant beast, the number and quality of the opponents were obviously superior.

However, it still obeyed Zhang Mu's orders diligently. It would not move unless the enemy moved.

Just as the wolfhound was stunned, the front row of tigers instantly split into two halves, revealing a passage.

It was a snow-white tiger, a head taller than other tigers. Its snow-white fur with gorgeous patterns made it look very noble.

At this moment, it was looking down at the wolfhound opposite it, which was standing there in a daze, not daring to move. It glanced at it lazily, not expecting that the provocative opponent was such a weak one.

It just took a step forward subconsciously, but the wolfhound, whose nerves were already stretched to the limit, immediately followed Zhang Mu's command and ran away.

The one who runs that fast doesn't care about his life.

The white tiger was also stunned by the wolfhound's behavior. At first, it thought that the wolfhound was just weak, but the owner of the provocative bark just now had the courage to laugh like that when he just moved slightly.

There was a human-like disdain in the white tiger's eyes. Then he growled and turned around as if he had lost interest. He walked back gracefully, wagging his tail lazily.

After hearing the white tiger's instructions, five tigers stepped forward from the group, let out a long howl, and chased in the direction the wolfhound fled. The other tigers also dispersed.
