Chapter 162 Epilogue and Journey 2 (needs refinement)
"Those mutant beasts burrowing in the ground and flying in the sky are so cunning!"
"Yeah! They launch surprise attacks from time to time, really catching us off guard!"
"Especially those flying beasts. It's easy to be attacked by them if you're not careful!"
Those mutated birds are extremely agile. Not only are they nimble in movement, but their beaks and feathers are also extremely sharp, making them extremely lethal.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry about the ones flying in the sky and drilling underground, I have my own way, you just need to focus on the mutant beasts on the ground.
The others breathed a sigh of relief, which was a good thing.
If it were just those on land, it wouldn't be a big problem for them. If it weren't for those burrowing underground and bird mutant beasts, they would never be as embarrassed as they are now.
It was naturally impossible for Li Mu to deal with those mutant beasts by himself, so he summoned the Heaven and Earth Net Tree to deal with them.
The Sky Net Tree has flexible branches and keen perception, making it perfect for dealing with strange beasts hiding in the dark.
The branches of the Sky-Net Tree danced in the air like spirit snakes, accurately entangled the flying mutant beasts. Their branches were hard and powerful, tightly binding the mutant beasts and preventing them from breaking free.
At the same time, the mutant beasts underground suffered the same fate.
At the same time, the mutant beasts underground suffered the same fate. The roots of the Dragnet Tree spread out like a huge net, capturing the mutant beasts that emerged from the ground one by one.
No matter how they struggled and roared, they could not escape the dragnet.
Chapter 2
A gorilla more than ten meters tall saw that the situation was not conducive to fighting, so it roared towards the sky, and all the mutant beasts retreated.
The brief lull in the first battle gave Li Mu and the other two a moment to catch their breath.
Li Mu saw the horrific situation after the battle and opened his bag and handed it to Yao Chengcheng, "I still have some plants left that were used for treatment before. You can give them to the seriously injured."
Yao Chengcheng saw the button-sized fruits, took the bag away, and nodded.
Yao Chengcheng distributed the fruit to everyone. All the wounded were very grateful and nodded in thanks.
After eating the healing fruit, thousands of wounded soldiers miraculously regenerated their disabled limbs, and those who were on the verge of death immediately recovered their breathing and grew new flesh and blood. The wounded were ecstatic and talked about it a lot.
"That's what I said. They are really nice and won't abandon us."
After Yao Chengcheng settled the wounded, he prepared delicious healing soup for each wounded, stood on the box, and said to all the wounded in a reassuring voice, "Don't worry, we will not abandon anyone, please trust us."
When the wounded heard such voices, they all felt warm. Everyone stood up, raised their hands, and shouted the names of the three people in unison.
When Yao Chengcheng saw this moment, he instantly felt that their hard work was not in vain, and tears welled up in his eyes. "Let's all work hard together. Thank you all." After saying this, he left the place where the wounded gathered.
The wounded were still talking.
"I told you that I was badly injured by the mutant beast. The mutant beast dragged me. I vaguely saw them fight off the mutant beast and drag me back. It was so cool."
"Don't tell me that at the beginning, the city guards had the upper hand, but then the leader of the mutant beasts went crazy, and their fighting power suddenly increased, and more mutant beasts came. Guess what happened?" A wounded man was describing the scene at that time like an encyclopedia, and his description was very vivid.
"Stop teasing us and tell us quickly. Don't arouse our interest and then not tell us in the end." An irritable wounded soldier pounded the ground and roared.
"Oh, don't be angry, it's more interesting to say this."
The other wounded listened attentively.
"Hey, don't interrupt, let him continue." A wounded man said impatiently.
"What did you say?" The angry wounded man grabbed the collar of the wounded man who had just spoken.
Two angry wounded men were about to fight.
The wounded who was telling the story shouted, "Oh, stop fighting. Now the healing fruits have been eaten up. You are injured one by one or two. Where is the place to treat you? Isn't it okay for me to say it?"
The two irritable wounded stopped fighting and sat on the ground, and then the wounded who heard the story continued.
"Isn't it that the city guards are at a disadvantage?"
Everyone paid more attention after hearing this.
"When the city guards were at a loss, our main characters began to appear. I remember Li Mu and the other two began to assign tasks."
"Yu Shuaikang is in charge of military affairs. He is so cool. He directly set up the Heavenly Dragnet Tree that Li Mu is in charge of. The mutant birds flying in the sky were directly killed automatically by the branches and leaves of the Heavenly Dragnet Tree. Don't you think this is cool?"
"How do you know all this?" a wounded man asked in confusion.
"Because I'm just a small follower of the city guards, and I just happen to follow them to fight and arrange the battle situation." The wounded man smiled embarrassedly.
"Then go on."
The wounded man changed the position of his legs and continued to gesture, "Isn't the problem in the sky solved? By the way, let me tell you a little gossip. I feel that Yu Shuaikang, who manages the military, seems to have a crush on a girl."
"What do you mean?" Everyone would be curious about gossip, let alone saving them from dire straits.
"At that time, I saw Yu Shuaikang seeing a girl and often asking about her well-being. It was like a man and a woman were in love. Let's not talk about them. We have no right to interfere in their private affairs."
The wounded man from the Encyclopedia continued, "After the situation was resolved in the sky, the leader of the mutant beasts was furious. After all, they were almost successful, but then this happened. The leader must have been unhappy and came up to join the battle himself. We were scared to death at the time and didn't think to ourselves, this is the end."
The wounded man from the Encyclopedia took a sip of water and paused. "I didn't expect that Li Mu was such a reliable guy. He awakened the War Treeman and merged with him. He used vines to form a giant bow and killed the mutant beast. Think about it, Li Mu and the Beast King are both level five. If Li Mu adds another piece of equipment, wouldn't he be extremely powerful? So we won this battle."
"Look at those mutant beasts who were beaten so badly that they ran away like clowns." The wounded man who read the encyclopedia laughed loudly, causing the other wounded men to laugh too. Then they all became excited and cheered.
The news of this incident spread among the people in a short time, making Li Mu and the other two like gods in Wanling City. People loved them wherever they went.
When Tang Anguo took Li Mu and the other two people walking in the peaceful Wanling City, they were surrounded by people giving them gifts. Everyone brought their most precious food to Li Mu and the other two, but Li Mu and the other two refused.
But everyone made wreaths for the three people and Tang Anguo to wear around their necks, and Li Mu and the other two could not refuse.
A grandmother raised the wreath to Li Mu and said, "Thank you, young man, otherwise all the people in Wanling City would be devastated."
Li Mu bent down and smiled, "Thank you, grandma. This is what we should do."
Yu Shuaikang put on the wreath and looked at Zhou Yimeng with a smile. He was a funny guy who suddenly became shy. "How is it?"
Zhou Yimeng pursed her lips and nodded.
Yu Shuaikang covered his mouth and laughed secretly at the back.
Everyone saw that Yu Shuaikang and Zhou Yimeng were in love and started to make a noise.
Yu Shuaikang opened his hands and signaled to everyone, "Don't be impatient, the time has not come yet."
It made everyone burst into laughter.
Yao Chengcheng also wore a wreath, and Li Mu and the other two walked on the stage, raising their hands together.
Yu Shuaikang shouted, "Everyone holds us high, and we hold everyone in our hearts."
After Li Mu and the other two left, time passed quickly. The mutant beasts were still attacking day and night. The scale of their attack this time was very small, and they seemed to want to attack in small waves, like surrounding a city with the countryside, and slowly disintegrate the Wanling City.
People were killed or injured. Although the scale was not large, it was enough to disturb people's hearts.
The mutant beasts are extremely intelligent. They are not satisfied with the first revenge on their kind for accidentally eating a kind of human food, so they start to attack with mutant birds with extremely fast flying speed. And they don't need too many of them. The defensive weapons installed by Li Mu and the other two next to the city guards are difficult to stop them. Otherwise, they would not have launched such a small-scale attack on the civilians.
People were injured repeatedly, and although the scale was very small, it still caused dissatisfaction.
"Aren't they said to be very powerful? Why did no one do anything about this? Could it be that because it's a small matter, they don't need to care?"
"That's right, we gave them all the nice words, and they were satisfied. But we, the common people, still suffered the same."
"Before, they said they were like gods. That's bullshit. They sent gifts and wreaths to them, but now this has happened and they don't care about anything."
"I think the talk about the three of them fighting is probably fake. The city defense must be almost over, and they came here to pick up the slack and become the protagonists in everyone's mind. In fact, they are nothing."
People's doubts began to spread among the public, and there were even rumors of lowering intelligence.
"They are not in league with the mutant beasts, are they? They come here pretending to defeat the mutant beasts, and then torture Wanling City in this way. And who knows if the mutant beasts have evolved? Didn't they evolve into this in the beginning? Who knows if they have evolved into human form? If that happens, it will really cause great suffering to all living beings in the future."
There are a few people among the public who believe in Li Mu and his two companions, and there are also people who think and are not influenced by others.
"What are you thinking about, buddy? This is simply a matter of low intelligence." As soon as the words were spoken, the two men started to wrestle.
"Stop fighting. Look."
Everyone was running away, and the two people who were fighting let go of each other and started running.
Among them, there was a mother running with her child. The mother’s physical strength was not as good as the child, and the child was too heavy, so he fell halfway behind everyone else and was caught by the mutant bird. The bird pulled the child out of the mother’s arms and started biting him.
The mother almost couldn't move when she saw this scene. The child's father immediately pulled the mother away and hid. The mother looked at the mutant bird biting the child with tears streaming down her face. The child's father grabbed the mother's hand, and the two held hands tightly, wishing they could tear the mutant bird opposite to pieces. But they couldn't change it. They had no ability, and could only watch the child being bitten alive.
After the mutant bird left, the child's mother hugged the corpse on the ground and cried in pain, attracting everyone to come out and see the scene.
It is difficult for the people to accept this kind of scene. When mothers with children see this scene, even though the children are not their own, they feel uncomfortable.
"Tell me, if the three guys inside are really powerful, would this kind of scene happen?" The speaker was a ferocious, muscular man.
"Look, this mother lost her own child. She must be so sad. Although it's not her own child, think about it, if the mutant birds are not eliminated one day, more children will be killed by them. Don't you think so? A mother doesn't want to see this scene. Since Li Mu and the other two don't show up, we will force them to show up." The muscular man continued.
"That's right, we need to resist and make them give us an explanation." This was what a thin man shouted and responded.
Everyone gathered together, forming a long line, holding banners in their hands, and began to parade through the streets again and again, resisting again and again. "How come you are so strong? You actually killed them all!"
Several people felt it was incredible, and they gathered together and praised Li Mu's strength.
Yao Chengcheng admired them very much, as these advanced beasts were extremely ferocious and few people could escape from their mouths.
But Li Mu managed to kill them all. His strength was too terrifying.
Everyone was guessing what level of strength Li Mu had reached. Facing everyone's praise, Li Mu behaved very modestly.
"Don't praise me, these are just small things."
Li Mu smiled and said that their strength was not worth mentioning at all.
"You are our savior, please accept our greetings!"
Thanks to Li Mu, they were able to escape danger. The people of Wanling City were grateful to Li Mu and they all regarded Li Mu as their savior.
"Don't bow down to me. I don't deserve it."
Now Li Mu is very prestigious among the people of Wanling City. He has saved them from danger several times. If it weren't for Li Mu, those advanced beasts would have swallowed up the entire city long ago.
Li Mu behaved very modestly, thinking that he did not deserve their thanks, as it was just a small contribution on his part, and he would be relieved as long as he saw the people of Wanling City out of danger.
"I really didn't expect that the people of Wanling City were in danger. These people are so hateful."
Li Mu thought of the crises and conflicts along the way. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to the people if he hadn't met them.
"How much hatred does this place attract? What if there is another danger?"
After what happened just now, Yu Shuaikang felt extremely scared. He had just walked through the gates of hell. If he was not careful, he would be eaten by those advanced beasts, and it would be too late to regret it then.
"Now that we have just killed these advanced beasts, the other side already knows our strength, so there shouldn't be any danger in the short term."
After the war, Li Mu felt that Wanling City would not be in any other danger in the short term.
You know, he also analyzed this. After learning that he killed the ancient beast, ordinary people would never dare to invade. "That's great, as long as they can be safe and sound!" After hearing Li Mu's analysis, Yao Chengcheng was relieved.
The fierce battle just now really left me with lingering fears. It was so scary that I still feel particularly scared now.
"We have been in this place for so long. Have we wasted too much time?"
Li Mu thought for a while and spoke to the two of them. After hearing what Li Mu said, Yao Chengcheng also felt that what he said made a lot of sense and nodded in response:
"Oh yeah, we've been here for a few months, and this is the first time we've stayed here for so long!"
They had never stayed in other places for so long, and the ferocious beasts in this place were indeed more difficult to deal with.
"Now that this place is out of danger for the time being, I think we can go and have a look somewhere else."
Li Mu suggested that staying here was not a solution as it was a waste of time and there were many other places that needed them.
"other places?"
"So where can we go?"
This made Yao Chengcheng feel a little confused. He couldn't think of where to go for the time being, but he also felt that he had to leave this place.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Our goal is to travel around the country to do justice and justice. We still have many places to go."
"You're right. Wherever you want to go, if there's any place you want to go, as long as you want to go, we'll go with you."
Yao Chengcheng also agreed. He said righteously that he would follow Li Mu no matter where Li Mu went.
"You are right. Our goal is to follow you and do good deeds. With us here, no one will dare to harm the world!"
Yao Chengcheng was very happy whenever he thought about being able to do good deeds, and he was happy to the core.
"I don't know. There are so many places now that we can't go to all of them. Why don't we just take it one step at a time and see if there is any place to stay nearby."
Both of them followed Li Mu's idea. Li Mu didn't know where to go, so now he could only suggest taking it one step at a time. Everyone agreed with Li Mu's opinion.
"If we just leave like this, what if the people here are attacked again? Who will protect them when we are not here?"
Although they have decided to leave, they are still very worried about the people here. Yao Chengcheng feels that although Wanling City will not be in danger for a while, they will not come back in a short time.
If they encounter greater danger at that time, they will not be able to come back to help, so everyone is very worried about the people here.
"Isn't there a West Lake Shelter? I can send them to the shelter, and then no one can hurt them!"
However, Li Mu had already thought of what they could think of. As long as they were sent to a safe place, they would not be harmed. Even if those people had ideas about this place, they would not be able to harm them.
"Then what should we do? I really want to help them!" Yao Chengcheng looked nervous and said that if there was anything he could help with, he would definitely do it.
"I don't need your help with this matter for now. I can do it alone."
Li Mu was very confident in himself and said that he could send these people to a safe place by himself.
"No matter how powerful you are, how can you get them all to the shelter by yourself?"
This made both of them feel very surprised. They looked at each other and questioned Li Mu helplessly, thinking that it was simply impossible to do.
"I have the ability to travel through time and space, so don't underestimate me!"
Li Mu said that he already had a plan in mind, and he certainly would not do anything that he was not sure of.
"Time travel?" Both of them were very curious. What kind of ability was this? Could it be so powerful? They couldn't believe it. However, there was something even more shocking next.
Under their puzzled and confused gazes, they only saw that Li Mu first used the air shuttle to send Tang Anguo and his group, mainly soldiers, while the girls were left behind, back to the West Lake shelter.
"We have really arrived at the West Lake Shelter. This is incredible. How did you do it?"
In this way, a group of people were sent to a safe place. Li Mu could send them to a safe place by himself, which made everyone feel very surprised.
"Is this the legendary time travel? He is truly a god-like being!"
After everyone witnessed Li Mu's legend with their own eyes, everyone praised Li Mu very much.
This place is safe enough, just like the barrier, no one will dare to invade. However, there is still a problem. There is nothing to eat in this West Lake shelter. Even if this place is safe enough, without any food, they will starve to death here.
"We have nothing to eat here. What should we do? Are we going to starve to death here?"
Tang Anguo's people felt that the situation was extremely difficult and they didn't know what to do. However, if they left the West Lake Shelter, there might be dangers lurking outside.
"You don't need to worry about this, I have already prepared it for you!"
Who knew that before sending them to the West Lake Shelter, Li Mu had already made sufficient preparations and brought a lot of vegetables, fruits and mutant animal meat to Tang Anguo before leaving.
"How did you do it? Did you transport these vegetables and meat out of thin air? That's impossible!"
The vegetables looked very delicious, and the meat looked very tasty. Even the people of Tang Anguo had never seen so many vegetables and meat. They were all stunned by the scene. How did Li Mu manage to produce so many vegetables in an instant?
Everyone was shocked and curious about how Li Mu did all this. Not only that, even if he could find so many vegetables, the temperature outside was minus 100 degrees, and there were almost no fresh vegetables and fruits. How could Li Mu have so many vegetables and fruits?
"I have received help from a deity. These magical seeds and abilities were given to me by the deity. You just need to enjoy them with peace of mind. They are very delicious."
Li Mu did not explain much about this, but just smiled and said that he had received help from the gods.
After hearing Li Mu's explanation, everyone did not feel suspicious, because in this era they all believed in ghosts and gods. They felt that Li Mu must be the chosen son of God, so Li Mu could do everything that ordinary people could not do.
"It's time for us to say goodbye to everyone."
After Li Mu settled the matter here, he returned to Wanling City. He planned to say goodbye to everyone.
"Everyone, we are leaving, please don't miss us!"
"Are you leaving? But we can't bear to let you go. Can you please not leave?"
Ye Rumeng and the others were very reluctant to see Li Mu and the others leave. When they heard that Li Mu and the others were leaving, they were actually very reluctant to agree.
"We must leave." Li Mu said they had to do so.
"Then take us with you. We also want to be chivalrous like you!"
Ye Rumeng suggested going with Li Mu, and others also expressed their desire to join Li Mu in doing justice. How cool it sounds.
"But... this road is very dangerous. Aren't you afraid as a girl?"
Li Mu did not agree at first because the road was too dangerous and he thought it was not suitable for them to go.
"I'm not afraid of danger. I believe you can protect me."
But Ye Rumeng firmly believed that she must go with Li Mu, and said that she would follow Li Mu no matter what.
"But if you come with us, who will guard this place?"
Li Mu said with a distressed look on his face.
"You don't have to worry about this. If you all want to go, then I will protect Wanling City!"
After discussing with Yu Shuaikang and Yao Chengcheng, it was finally decided to take Ye Rumeng, Yao Chengcheng and his fiancée Fang Qiannan out for a trip. Yu Shuaikang volunteered to stay and guard Wanling City.
"But we don't have much money left. What if we run out of money on the road?"
After discussing for a while, the few people decided to set off. Just as they were getting ready to leave, they were troubled when they saw the little silver left.
Because they have stayed in this place for too long, there are not many olives left now, and they may not be enough to support them to reach the next place. Yao Chengcheng feels that this is not a solution at all.
"This... there is always a way out. I believe there will be a solution soon."
Li Mu also thought of this, but he still decided to leave because he believed that as long as they had hands and feet, they would be able to think of a solution. Thinking of this, they decided to set off tomorrow.
Before they said goodbye to the people here, the people of Wanling City had already received the news and rushed over to see Li Mu off.
"My benefactor, we heard that you are leaving this place. We are all reluctant to let you go."
Everyone gathered around Li Mu. Ever since Li Mu killed the advanced beast and rescued them, everyone regarded Li Mu as their faith. They were reluctant to let him go. They hoped that Li Mu could stay. As long as he could stay, food and clothing would not be a problem. Everyone needed talents like Li Mu.
"All good things must come to an end. We are needed elsewhere and we must leave."
Although the people here welcomed them enthusiastically, Li Mu still decided to leave and said goodbye to them solemnly.
The people also understood that they had more important things to do than to be chivalrous, so they did not try to persuade them to stay.
"You are heroes. You want to go to other places to do justice, so we will not stop you. Please accept our kindness."
After learning that Li Mu and his men were leaving, the people also prepared some gifts and soon they were ready to eat on the road. Basically every household had something prepared for Li Mu, and it was very rich. They also thoughtfully prepared a carriage for Li Mu.
They gave all the food to Li Mu, and the pile was so full that it was almost full.
"If it weren't for you, we would have been eaten by ferocious beasts long ago. You must accept our gift of thanks."
Those people still asked for so many things, Li Mu must accept them all, these represent their gratitude to Li Mu, Li Mu did not expect that they would give him so many things, there is no place to accept them, Li Mu was a little embarrassed to face their compliments, Li Mu also behaved very modestly and repeatedly refused and said:
"Why did you give us so many things? These things are too valuable. We can't accept them. Please put them back!"
"Yes, we are just doing justice. We help those who are in trouble when we see them. We don't need so many things. Please don't be so polite to us."
Yao Chengcheng felt that they could not accept so many things from the people, otherwise they would forget their original intention of being chivalrous and righteous.
Several people tried to refuse again and again, but the people here did not give them the chance to refuse. They demanded that they accept it no matter what. Otherwise, they would not be allowed to leave no matter what. Because they could only thank them with these material things.
Faced with the people's enthusiasm, even Li Mu could not resist it and could only accept these things. It happened that they had no dry food on the road, so accepting their dry food was enough.
"Don't be so modest, heroes. These are what you deserve. They are a token of our gratitude. If you don't accept them, we will definitely feel guilty for the rest of our lives. You are our saviors, so what does this little gift mean to you?"
All the people asked Li Mu and his men to accept the gift. Li Mu and his men finally accepted it despite their kindness. After some reluctance, they also said politely:
"In that case, we will respectfully obey your orders. Thank you very much, everyone. We are about to set off. See you later!"
Li Mu accepted their dry food, and after saying goodbye to the people here, he prepared to set off to visit other places. After staying in one place for too long, they were more or less not used to it. They had no fixed place to live, so it was not appropriate for them to stay in this place.
Moreover, he has been staying at home in Wanling City for a long time. Now he is eager to go and see what other parts of China are like now.
But Li Mu still had some concerns. Those people would not give up. Yu Shuaikang promised solemnly:
"You can go without worry. I will stay here to guard the place. I will definitely protect the people well. Don't you believe in my ability?"
"I feel relieved to have you here, let's go."
Li Mu nodded and expressed his great confidence in Yu Shuaikang's abilities. They should indeed have more confidence in their companions.
"Have you decided? Where do you want to go?"
With the gifts from the people, there were enough supplies on the road. Several people took a carriage, and Ye Rumeng couldn't help asking them where they were going.
"I already know where I'm going. Why don't we go to Hangzhou City?"
Li Mu had already thought about where they were going. He had already looked at the map and found that this place was the closest to Hangzhou City and could be reached in just a few days, so it would be most appropriate for them to go to Hangzhou City.
Everyone also agreed with Li Mu's opinion and unanimously decided to go to Hangzhou City. On the way, everyone was looking forward to their upcoming trip to Hangzhou.
(End of this chapter)
"Those mutant beasts burrowing in the ground and flying in the sky are so cunning!"
"Yeah! They launch surprise attacks from time to time, really catching us off guard!"
"Especially those flying beasts. It's easy to be attacked by them if you're not careful!"
Those mutated birds are extremely agile. Not only are they nimble in movement, but their beaks and feathers are also extremely sharp, making them extremely lethal.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry about the ones flying in the sky and drilling underground, I have my own way, you just need to focus on the mutant beasts on the ground.
The others breathed a sigh of relief, which was a good thing.
If it were just those on land, it wouldn't be a big problem for them. If it weren't for those burrowing underground and bird mutant beasts, they would never be as embarrassed as they are now.
It was naturally impossible for Li Mu to deal with those mutant beasts by himself, so he summoned the Heaven and Earth Net Tree to deal with them.
The Sky Net Tree has flexible branches and keen perception, making it perfect for dealing with strange beasts hiding in the dark.
The branches of the Sky-Net Tree danced in the air like spirit snakes, accurately entangled the flying mutant beasts. Their branches were hard and powerful, tightly binding the mutant beasts and preventing them from breaking free.
At the same time, the mutant beasts underground suffered the same fate.
At the same time, the mutant beasts underground suffered the same fate. The roots of the Dragnet Tree spread out like a huge net, capturing the mutant beasts that emerged from the ground one by one.
No matter how they struggled and roared, they could not escape the dragnet.
Chapter 2
A gorilla more than ten meters tall saw that the situation was not conducive to fighting, so it roared towards the sky, and all the mutant beasts retreated.
The brief lull in the first battle gave Li Mu and the other two a moment to catch their breath.
Li Mu saw the horrific situation after the battle and opened his bag and handed it to Yao Chengcheng, "I still have some plants left that were used for treatment before. You can give them to the seriously injured."
Yao Chengcheng saw the button-sized fruits, took the bag away, and nodded.
Yao Chengcheng distributed the fruit to everyone. All the wounded were very grateful and nodded in thanks.
After eating the healing fruit, thousands of wounded soldiers miraculously regenerated their disabled limbs, and those who were on the verge of death immediately recovered their breathing and grew new flesh and blood. The wounded were ecstatic and talked about it a lot.
"That's what I said. They are really nice and won't abandon us."
After Yao Chengcheng settled the wounded, he prepared delicious healing soup for each wounded, stood on the box, and said to all the wounded in a reassuring voice, "Don't worry, we will not abandon anyone, please trust us."
When the wounded heard such voices, they all felt warm. Everyone stood up, raised their hands, and shouted the names of the three people in unison.
When Yao Chengcheng saw this moment, he instantly felt that their hard work was not in vain, and tears welled up in his eyes. "Let's all work hard together. Thank you all." After saying this, he left the place where the wounded gathered.
The wounded were still talking.
"I told you that I was badly injured by the mutant beast. The mutant beast dragged me. I vaguely saw them fight off the mutant beast and drag me back. It was so cool."
"Don't tell me that at the beginning, the city guards had the upper hand, but then the leader of the mutant beasts went crazy, and their fighting power suddenly increased, and more mutant beasts came. Guess what happened?" A wounded man was describing the scene at that time like an encyclopedia, and his description was very vivid.
"Stop teasing us and tell us quickly. Don't arouse our interest and then not tell us in the end." An irritable wounded soldier pounded the ground and roared.
"Oh, don't be angry, it's more interesting to say this."
The other wounded listened attentively.
"Hey, don't interrupt, let him continue." A wounded man said impatiently.
"What did you say?" The angry wounded man grabbed the collar of the wounded man who had just spoken.
Two angry wounded men were about to fight.
The wounded who was telling the story shouted, "Oh, stop fighting. Now the healing fruits have been eaten up. You are injured one by one or two. Where is the place to treat you? Isn't it okay for me to say it?"
The two irritable wounded stopped fighting and sat on the ground, and then the wounded who heard the story continued.
"Isn't it that the city guards are at a disadvantage?"
Everyone paid more attention after hearing this.
"When the city guards were at a loss, our main characters began to appear. I remember Li Mu and the other two began to assign tasks."
"Yu Shuaikang is in charge of military affairs. He is so cool. He directly set up the Heavenly Dragnet Tree that Li Mu is in charge of. The mutant birds flying in the sky were directly killed automatically by the branches and leaves of the Heavenly Dragnet Tree. Don't you think this is cool?"
"How do you know all this?" a wounded man asked in confusion.
"Because I'm just a small follower of the city guards, and I just happen to follow them to fight and arrange the battle situation." The wounded man smiled embarrassedly.
"Then go on."
The wounded man changed the position of his legs and continued to gesture, "Isn't the problem in the sky solved? By the way, let me tell you a little gossip. I feel that Yu Shuaikang, who manages the military, seems to have a crush on a girl."
"What do you mean?" Everyone would be curious about gossip, let alone saving them from dire straits.
"At that time, I saw Yu Shuaikang seeing a girl and often asking about her well-being. It was like a man and a woman were in love. Let's not talk about them. We have no right to interfere in their private affairs."
The wounded man from the Encyclopedia continued, "After the situation was resolved in the sky, the leader of the mutant beasts was furious. After all, they were almost successful, but then this happened. The leader must have been unhappy and came up to join the battle himself. We were scared to death at the time and didn't think to ourselves, this is the end."
The wounded man from the Encyclopedia took a sip of water and paused. "I didn't expect that Li Mu was such a reliable guy. He awakened the War Treeman and merged with him. He used vines to form a giant bow and killed the mutant beast. Think about it, Li Mu and the Beast King are both level five. If Li Mu adds another piece of equipment, wouldn't he be extremely powerful? So we won this battle."
"Look at those mutant beasts who were beaten so badly that they ran away like clowns." The wounded man who read the encyclopedia laughed loudly, causing the other wounded men to laugh too. Then they all became excited and cheered.
The news of this incident spread among the people in a short time, making Li Mu and the other two like gods in Wanling City. People loved them wherever they went.
When Tang Anguo took Li Mu and the other two people walking in the peaceful Wanling City, they were surrounded by people giving them gifts. Everyone brought their most precious food to Li Mu and the other two, but Li Mu and the other two refused.
But everyone made wreaths for the three people and Tang Anguo to wear around their necks, and Li Mu and the other two could not refuse.
A grandmother raised the wreath to Li Mu and said, "Thank you, young man, otherwise all the people in Wanling City would be devastated."
Li Mu bent down and smiled, "Thank you, grandma. This is what we should do."
Yu Shuaikang put on the wreath and looked at Zhou Yimeng with a smile. He was a funny guy who suddenly became shy. "How is it?"
Zhou Yimeng pursed her lips and nodded.
Yu Shuaikang covered his mouth and laughed secretly at the back.
Everyone saw that Yu Shuaikang and Zhou Yimeng were in love and started to make a noise.
Yu Shuaikang opened his hands and signaled to everyone, "Don't be impatient, the time has not come yet."
It made everyone burst into laughter.
Yao Chengcheng also wore a wreath, and Li Mu and the other two walked on the stage, raising their hands together.
Yu Shuaikang shouted, "Everyone holds us high, and we hold everyone in our hearts."
After Li Mu and the other two left, time passed quickly. The mutant beasts were still attacking day and night. The scale of their attack this time was very small, and they seemed to want to attack in small waves, like surrounding a city with the countryside, and slowly disintegrate the Wanling City.
People were killed or injured. Although the scale was not large, it was enough to disturb people's hearts.
The mutant beasts are extremely intelligent. They are not satisfied with the first revenge on their kind for accidentally eating a kind of human food, so they start to attack with mutant birds with extremely fast flying speed. And they don't need too many of them. The defensive weapons installed by Li Mu and the other two next to the city guards are difficult to stop them. Otherwise, they would not have launched such a small-scale attack on the civilians.
People were injured repeatedly, and although the scale was very small, it still caused dissatisfaction.
"Aren't they said to be very powerful? Why did no one do anything about this? Could it be that because it's a small matter, they don't need to care?"
"That's right, we gave them all the nice words, and they were satisfied. But we, the common people, still suffered the same."
"Before, they said they were like gods. That's bullshit. They sent gifts and wreaths to them, but now this has happened and they don't care about anything."
"I think the talk about the three of them fighting is probably fake. The city defense must be almost over, and they came here to pick up the slack and become the protagonists in everyone's mind. In fact, they are nothing."
People's doubts began to spread among the public, and there were even rumors of lowering intelligence.
"They are not in league with the mutant beasts, are they? They come here pretending to defeat the mutant beasts, and then torture Wanling City in this way. And who knows if the mutant beasts have evolved? Didn't they evolve into this in the beginning? Who knows if they have evolved into human form? If that happens, it will really cause great suffering to all living beings in the future."
There are a few people among the public who believe in Li Mu and his two companions, and there are also people who think and are not influenced by others.
"What are you thinking about, buddy? This is simply a matter of low intelligence." As soon as the words were spoken, the two men started to wrestle.
"Stop fighting. Look."
Everyone was running away, and the two people who were fighting let go of each other and started running.
Among them, there was a mother running with her child. The mother’s physical strength was not as good as the child, and the child was too heavy, so he fell halfway behind everyone else and was caught by the mutant bird. The bird pulled the child out of the mother’s arms and started biting him.
The mother almost couldn't move when she saw this scene. The child's father immediately pulled the mother away and hid. The mother looked at the mutant bird biting the child with tears streaming down her face. The child's father grabbed the mother's hand, and the two held hands tightly, wishing they could tear the mutant bird opposite to pieces. But they couldn't change it. They had no ability, and could only watch the child being bitten alive.
After the mutant bird left, the child's mother hugged the corpse on the ground and cried in pain, attracting everyone to come out and see the scene.
It is difficult for the people to accept this kind of scene. When mothers with children see this scene, even though the children are not their own, they feel uncomfortable.
"Tell me, if the three guys inside are really powerful, would this kind of scene happen?" The speaker was a ferocious, muscular man.
"Look, this mother lost her own child. She must be so sad. Although it's not her own child, think about it, if the mutant birds are not eliminated one day, more children will be killed by them. Don't you think so? A mother doesn't want to see this scene. Since Li Mu and the other two don't show up, we will force them to show up." The muscular man continued.
"That's right, we need to resist and make them give us an explanation." This was what a thin man shouted and responded.
Everyone gathered together, forming a long line, holding banners in their hands, and began to parade through the streets again and again, resisting again and again. "How come you are so strong? You actually killed them all!"
Several people felt it was incredible, and they gathered together and praised Li Mu's strength.
Yao Chengcheng admired them very much, as these advanced beasts were extremely ferocious and few people could escape from their mouths.
But Li Mu managed to kill them all. His strength was too terrifying.
Everyone was guessing what level of strength Li Mu had reached. Facing everyone's praise, Li Mu behaved very modestly.
"Don't praise me, these are just small things."
Li Mu smiled and said that their strength was not worth mentioning at all.
"You are our savior, please accept our greetings!"
Thanks to Li Mu, they were able to escape danger. The people of Wanling City were grateful to Li Mu and they all regarded Li Mu as their savior.
"Don't bow down to me. I don't deserve it."
Now Li Mu is very prestigious among the people of Wanling City. He has saved them from danger several times. If it weren't for Li Mu, those advanced beasts would have swallowed up the entire city long ago.
Li Mu behaved very modestly, thinking that he did not deserve their thanks, as it was just a small contribution on his part, and he would be relieved as long as he saw the people of Wanling City out of danger.
"I really didn't expect that the people of Wanling City were in danger. These people are so hateful."
Li Mu thought of the crises and conflicts along the way. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to the people if he hadn't met them.
"How much hatred does this place attract? What if there is another danger?"
After what happened just now, Yu Shuaikang felt extremely scared. He had just walked through the gates of hell. If he was not careful, he would be eaten by those advanced beasts, and it would be too late to regret it then.
"Now that we have just killed these advanced beasts, the other side already knows our strength, so there shouldn't be any danger in the short term."
After the war, Li Mu felt that Wanling City would not be in any other danger in the short term.
You know, he also analyzed this. After learning that he killed the ancient beast, ordinary people would never dare to invade. "That's great, as long as they can be safe and sound!" After hearing Li Mu's analysis, Yao Chengcheng was relieved.
The fierce battle just now really left me with lingering fears. It was so scary that I still feel particularly scared now.
"We have been in this place for so long. Have we wasted too much time?"
Li Mu thought for a while and spoke to the two of them. After hearing what Li Mu said, Yao Chengcheng also felt that what he said made a lot of sense and nodded in response:
"Oh yeah, we've been here for a few months, and this is the first time we've stayed here for so long!"
They had never stayed in other places for so long, and the ferocious beasts in this place were indeed more difficult to deal with.
"Now that this place is out of danger for the time being, I think we can go and have a look somewhere else."
Li Mu suggested that staying here was not a solution as it was a waste of time and there were many other places that needed them.
"other places?"
"So where can we go?"
This made Yao Chengcheng feel a little confused. He couldn't think of where to go for the time being, but he also felt that he had to leave this place.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Our goal is to travel around the country to do justice and justice. We still have many places to go."
"You're right. Wherever you want to go, if there's any place you want to go, as long as you want to go, we'll go with you."
Yao Chengcheng also agreed. He said righteously that he would follow Li Mu no matter where Li Mu went.
"You are right. Our goal is to follow you and do good deeds. With us here, no one will dare to harm the world!"
Yao Chengcheng was very happy whenever he thought about being able to do good deeds, and he was happy to the core.
"I don't know. There are so many places now that we can't go to all of them. Why don't we just take it one step at a time and see if there is any place to stay nearby."
Both of them followed Li Mu's idea. Li Mu didn't know where to go, so now he could only suggest taking it one step at a time. Everyone agreed with Li Mu's opinion.
"If we just leave like this, what if the people here are attacked again? Who will protect them when we are not here?"
Although they have decided to leave, they are still very worried about the people here. Yao Chengcheng feels that although Wanling City will not be in danger for a while, they will not come back in a short time.
If they encounter greater danger at that time, they will not be able to come back to help, so everyone is very worried about the people here.
"Isn't there a West Lake Shelter? I can send them to the shelter, and then no one can hurt them!"
However, Li Mu had already thought of what they could think of. As long as they were sent to a safe place, they would not be harmed. Even if those people had ideas about this place, they would not be able to harm them.
"Then what should we do? I really want to help them!" Yao Chengcheng looked nervous and said that if there was anything he could help with, he would definitely do it.
"I don't need your help with this matter for now. I can do it alone."
Li Mu was very confident in himself and said that he could send these people to a safe place by himself.
"No matter how powerful you are, how can you get them all to the shelter by yourself?"
This made both of them feel very surprised. They looked at each other and questioned Li Mu helplessly, thinking that it was simply impossible to do.
"I have the ability to travel through time and space, so don't underestimate me!"
Li Mu said that he already had a plan in mind, and he certainly would not do anything that he was not sure of.
"Time travel?" Both of them were very curious. What kind of ability was this? Could it be so powerful? They couldn't believe it. However, there was something even more shocking next.
Under their puzzled and confused gazes, they only saw that Li Mu first used the air shuttle to send Tang Anguo and his group, mainly soldiers, while the girls were left behind, back to the West Lake shelter.
"We have really arrived at the West Lake Shelter. This is incredible. How did you do it?"
In this way, a group of people were sent to a safe place. Li Mu could send them to a safe place by himself, which made everyone feel very surprised.
"Is this the legendary time travel? He is truly a god-like being!"
After everyone witnessed Li Mu's legend with their own eyes, everyone praised Li Mu very much.
This place is safe enough, just like the barrier, no one will dare to invade. However, there is still a problem. There is nothing to eat in this West Lake shelter. Even if this place is safe enough, without any food, they will starve to death here.
"We have nothing to eat here. What should we do? Are we going to starve to death here?"
Tang Anguo's people felt that the situation was extremely difficult and they didn't know what to do. However, if they left the West Lake Shelter, there might be dangers lurking outside.
"You don't need to worry about this, I have already prepared it for you!"
Who knew that before sending them to the West Lake Shelter, Li Mu had already made sufficient preparations and brought a lot of vegetables, fruits and mutant animal meat to Tang Anguo before leaving.
"How did you do it? Did you transport these vegetables and meat out of thin air? That's impossible!"
The vegetables looked very delicious, and the meat looked very tasty. Even the people of Tang Anguo had never seen so many vegetables and meat. They were all stunned by the scene. How did Li Mu manage to produce so many vegetables in an instant?
Everyone was shocked and curious about how Li Mu did all this. Not only that, even if he could find so many vegetables, the temperature outside was minus 100 degrees, and there were almost no fresh vegetables and fruits. How could Li Mu have so many vegetables and fruits?
"I have received help from a deity. These magical seeds and abilities were given to me by the deity. You just need to enjoy them with peace of mind. They are very delicious."
Li Mu did not explain much about this, but just smiled and said that he had received help from the gods.
After hearing Li Mu's explanation, everyone did not feel suspicious, because in this era they all believed in ghosts and gods. They felt that Li Mu must be the chosen son of God, so Li Mu could do everything that ordinary people could not do.
"It's time for us to say goodbye to everyone."
After Li Mu settled the matter here, he returned to Wanling City. He planned to say goodbye to everyone.
"Everyone, we are leaving, please don't miss us!"
"Are you leaving? But we can't bear to let you go. Can you please not leave?"
Ye Rumeng and the others were very reluctant to see Li Mu and the others leave. When they heard that Li Mu and the others were leaving, they were actually very reluctant to agree.
"We must leave." Li Mu said they had to do so.
"Then take us with you. We also want to be chivalrous like you!"
Ye Rumeng suggested going with Li Mu, and others also expressed their desire to join Li Mu in doing justice. How cool it sounds.
"But... this road is very dangerous. Aren't you afraid as a girl?"
Li Mu did not agree at first because the road was too dangerous and he thought it was not suitable for them to go.
"I'm not afraid of danger. I believe you can protect me."
But Ye Rumeng firmly believed that she must go with Li Mu, and said that she would follow Li Mu no matter what.
"But if you come with us, who will guard this place?"
Li Mu said with a distressed look on his face.
"You don't have to worry about this. If you all want to go, then I will protect Wanling City!"
After discussing with Yu Shuaikang and Yao Chengcheng, it was finally decided to take Ye Rumeng, Yao Chengcheng and his fiancée Fang Qiannan out for a trip. Yu Shuaikang volunteered to stay and guard Wanling City.
"But we don't have much money left. What if we run out of money on the road?"
After discussing for a while, the few people decided to set off. Just as they were getting ready to leave, they were troubled when they saw the little silver left.
Because they have stayed in this place for too long, there are not many olives left now, and they may not be enough to support them to reach the next place. Yao Chengcheng feels that this is not a solution at all.
"This... there is always a way out. I believe there will be a solution soon."
Li Mu also thought of this, but he still decided to leave because he believed that as long as they had hands and feet, they would be able to think of a solution. Thinking of this, they decided to set off tomorrow.
Before they said goodbye to the people here, the people of Wanling City had already received the news and rushed over to see Li Mu off.
"My benefactor, we heard that you are leaving this place. We are all reluctant to let you go."
Everyone gathered around Li Mu. Ever since Li Mu killed the advanced beast and rescued them, everyone regarded Li Mu as their faith. They were reluctant to let him go. They hoped that Li Mu could stay. As long as he could stay, food and clothing would not be a problem. Everyone needed talents like Li Mu.
"All good things must come to an end. We are needed elsewhere and we must leave."
Although the people here welcomed them enthusiastically, Li Mu still decided to leave and said goodbye to them solemnly.
The people also understood that they had more important things to do than to be chivalrous, so they did not try to persuade them to stay.
"You are heroes. You want to go to other places to do justice, so we will not stop you. Please accept our kindness."
After learning that Li Mu and his men were leaving, the people also prepared some gifts and soon they were ready to eat on the road. Basically every household had something prepared for Li Mu, and it was very rich. They also thoughtfully prepared a carriage for Li Mu.
They gave all the food to Li Mu, and the pile was so full that it was almost full.
"If it weren't for you, we would have been eaten by ferocious beasts long ago. You must accept our gift of thanks."
Those people still asked for so many things, Li Mu must accept them all, these represent their gratitude to Li Mu, Li Mu did not expect that they would give him so many things, there is no place to accept them, Li Mu was a little embarrassed to face their compliments, Li Mu also behaved very modestly and repeatedly refused and said:
"Why did you give us so many things? These things are too valuable. We can't accept them. Please put them back!"
"Yes, we are just doing justice. We help those who are in trouble when we see them. We don't need so many things. Please don't be so polite to us."
Yao Chengcheng felt that they could not accept so many things from the people, otherwise they would forget their original intention of being chivalrous and righteous.
Several people tried to refuse again and again, but the people here did not give them the chance to refuse. They demanded that they accept it no matter what. Otherwise, they would not be allowed to leave no matter what. Because they could only thank them with these material things.
Faced with the people's enthusiasm, even Li Mu could not resist it and could only accept these things. It happened that they had no dry food on the road, so accepting their dry food was enough.
"Don't be so modest, heroes. These are what you deserve. They are a token of our gratitude. If you don't accept them, we will definitely feel guilty for the rest of our lives. You are our saviors, so what does this little gift mean to you?"
All the people asked Li Mu and his men to accept the gift. Li Mu and his men finally accepted it despite their kindness. After some reluctance, they also said politely:
"In that case, we will respectfully obey your orders. Thank you very much, everyone. We are about to set off. See you later!"
Li Mu accepted their dry food, and after saying goodbye to the people here, he prepared to set off to visit other places. After staying in one place for too long, they were more or less not used to it. They had no fixed place to live, so it was not appropriate for them to stay in this place.
Moreover, he has been staying at home in Wanling City for a long time. Now he is eager to go and see what other parts of China are like now.
But Li Mu still had some concerns. Those people would not give up. Yu Shuaikang promised solemnly:
"You can go without worry. I will stay here to guard the place. I will definitely protect the people well. Don't you believe in my ability?"
"I feel relieved to have you here, let's go."
Li Mu nodded and expressed his great confidence in Yu Shuaikang's abilities. They should indeed have more confidence in their companions.
"Have you decided? Where do you want to go?"
With the gifts from the people, there were enough supplies on the road. Several people took a carriage, and Ye Rumeng couldn't help asking them where they were going.
"I already know where I'm going. Why don't we go to Hangzhou City?"
Li Mu had already thought about where they were going. He had already looked at the map and found that this place was the closest to Hangzhou City and could be reached in just a few days, so it would be most appropriate for them to go to Hangzhou City.
Everyone also agreed with Li Mu's opinion and unanimously decided to go to Hangzhou City. On the way, everyone was looking forward to their upcoming trip to Hangzhou.
