Chapter 503: Proving the Blue Crystal
Zhang Mu didn’t know that Qing Ling had so many thoughts in her heart, he just went out directly.
The battle in front of 73 was quite intense, with the plant warriors all transforming into Tree Men, using their bodies as weapons to strike heavily and fiercely, all in one go.
On the other side, the exotic creatures appeared extremely agile, jumping among the Tree Men, with wood chips flying everywhere as they struck with their claws. However, for the tough-skinned and strong Tree Men, it didn’t cause much harm, but it did provoke their anger.
Although the exotic creatures were very agile, the attacks from the Tree Men were frequent and powerful, causing many of the creatures to be smashed down and ruthlessly crushed underfoot, turning into meat paste.
Zhang Mu saw an exotic creature’s body at the edge of the battlefield, which was swept out by the Tree Man. He picked it up and brought it back to where Qing Ling was, and no one noticed its sudden disappearance while the battle continued.
Boom!
Next to Qing Ling, Zhang Mu lifted the illusion and startled her playfully.
“How was that, exciting?”
Seeing Zhang Mu teasingly, Qing Ling glared at him, then turned her gaze to the exotic creature’s body he brought back.
“I won’t argue with you.”
Watching Qing Ling examining the body, Zhang Mu looked towards the battle.
It must be said that although the Tree Man’s fighting ability is not strong, it restrains these exotic creatures very well. The damage they cause is minimal unless hitting the core of the tree.
After observing for a while, Zhang Mu noticed that many exotic creatures had been swept away, but only one tree core of the Tree Man had been targeted.
After losing the seed of the tree, the Tree Man transformed back to his original form, his body weak and falling apart.
Many casualties appeared, making the battle between the two sides even more intense.
“Zhang Mu, why can’t I find the Blue Crystal you mentioned? Are you deceiving me?”
Suddenly, Zhang Mu heard Qing Ling’s voice behind him, filled with confusion, so he quickly turned around.
“That’s impossible!”
Qing Ling stepped aside, letting Zhang Mu see for himself.
Zhang Mu approached and saw the wound Qing Ling had torn open, indeed behind her neck. He carefully searched but found nothing.
“Even if the Blue Crystal is small and hard to find, how could he know its exact location so accurately and still not have it?”
Qing Ling stared at him and said, “Zhang Mu, do you know the consequences of giving false military information? Luckily, I checked it myself first. If I had gone directly to the meeting with Queen Sister, it would have been embarrassing, and I would have been the one to suffer.”
“Maybe this body has been dead for a long time.”
Zhang Mu frowned and tried to explain to Qing Ling, but she wouldn’t listen.
She could already imagine what those who supported Cang Yu would say about her, and her eyes started to turn a bit red.
“Old Wan’s daughter is still so reckless. If it wasn’t for Old Wan protecting her, really, ah.”
“Compared to his status, Cang Yu is only higher, not lower. Besides Old Wan, who is the only fourth-rank early-stage member in their clan, the two of them getting married would be good. Qing Ling is just too immature.”
She had heard this kind of gossip before. If it wasn’t for her father’s reputation, those people might have said even worse things.
Although Big Brother Cang Yu was kind to her, she really didn’t like the so-called only person in the clan who was suitable for her. She wanted a different life.
But now, even this just-met Zhang Mu was bullying her.
Qing Ling was a bit stubborn by nature, but very fragile inside. She thought Zhang Mu was also deceiving her, and felt extremely wronged.
Watching Qing Ling, who was bouncing around just now, suddenly turning into a girl on the verge of tears, Zhang Mu felt a bit overwhelmed. No matter how he tried to calm her down, he couldn’t. He directly grabbed Qing Ling’s shoulder, looked her in the eyes, and shouted, “Don’t be noisy, it’s too annoying.”
“Don’t be noisy, too annoying.”
Qing Ling was stunned for a moment, no one had ever shouted at her like that before.
Luckily, there was a lot of noise on the battlefield, otherwise Zhang Mu’s shout would have definitely attracted others’ attention.
Zhang Mu didn’t know why he was feeling a bit frustrated today. He impatiently waved his hand and said, “Wait, if I say there will be something, there definitely will be. Don’t cry, still a princess, act like one, this is embarrassing.”
Before Qing Ling could respond, Zhang Mu dashed out again.
There was no other way. Zhang Mu assessed the situation and realized that all the easily accessible places were at the edges, probably already dead for ten minutes. Even if not all were, most likely they were. There would be no more fresh ones available later, there was really no explanation.
For fresh, freshly dead bodies, they could only wait for them to be freshly killed.
Zhang Mu glanced at the center of the battlefield, focused his gaze, and thought of a solution, although it required some effort.
He quickly rushed into the circle where the alien creatures and Tree Man were fighting.
Zhang Mu now disguised himself as air, slowly sneaking in the blind spots of the attacks from both sides.
With a loud crash, Tree Man’s arm came down, causing the cracked ground to sink a bit.
Zhang Mu narrowly escaped this attack, and behind him, several strong winds were heard, and a few alien creatures pounced towards him.
Even though they couldn’t see Zhang Mu and their target was the Tree Man in front of Zhang Mu, if Zhang Mu didn’t dodge, they would still hit him hard, and Zhang Mu would end up being knocked away.
Sensing the danger, Zhang Mu didn’t have time to check, and he quickly fell to the ground. Luckily, the alien creatures leaped over his head without touching his body.
This won’t work!
Watching the increasingly chaotic battle, Zhang Mu realized that if things continued this way, he wouldn’t be able to reach the core battlefield area, and he might not even be able to move, let alone carry bodies out.
Feeling pressured by the danger, Zhang Mu’s mind was fully engaged. If he couldn’t come up with a solution soon, he would be in big trouble!
Got it!
Zhang Mu wanted to try, but he had to take a risk.
The Tree Man in front of him moved, about to step down.
Zhang Mu’s full attention focused on the Tree Man’s foot. If things went wrong, he would leave immediately and look for another opportunity.
However, Zhang Mu guessed correctly!
Just as the Tree Man was about to step down, it discovered a large broken branch below, showing a hint of sadness. It immediately withdrew its step, shifted its direction, and became more fierce in its attack.
This branch was actually transformed by Zhang Mu!
What he gambled on was that this Tree Man would no longer damage the bodies of its kind.
At the same time, in the eyes of the alien creatures, the branch transformed by Zhang Mu seemed less threatening when he wasn’t there.
And so, Zhang Mu slowly made his way to the core position. Despite the strange sight of his dead companion’s body parts scattered around, the Tree Man carefully avoided Zhang Mu.
Why does the scene of death look so tragic?
As a result, the Tree Man’s strength increased without exception, making it difficult for the exotic creatures to defend themselves.
They also complained incessantly, how did these big guys suddenly go berserk!
