Chapter 186: Unexpected Absence
Zhang Mu didn’t know why zombies and mutant beasts had such strategies; it might be predicting the army’s invasion, or deliberately arranged after being frightened by the last incident. However, he knew that if this situation continued, the deadlock between the two sides wouldn’t last long.
Ten thousand regular evolvers, two thousand evolvers, nearly a thousand soldier evolvers, Zhang Mu envied their great strength. But facing their enemies now, the gap was too big if they had the same strategies.
So, the only way to break through now is to find the leader of the old white fox and zombie horde mentioned by the Obsidian Beetle.
Catch the thief, catch the king!
Obviously, more than just Zhang Mu had this idea. With the protection of nearly a thousand evolver soldiers in the direction of East City, two figures sneaked into Jin Zhong City without anyone noticing. The zombies around them seemed oblivious to their presence, while the mutant beasts were already engaging with the soldiers who had received orders.
Zhang Mu ventured alone into the weakest direction of West City. It seemed like all defenses were focused on the front of Jin Zhong City and the direction of East City. He could only see a few mutant beasts hurrying towards that direction.
As soon as they saw Zhang Mu, they all rushed towards him. However, with no one around, Zhang Mu used his skills. When the Blood Lotus was unleashed, the thirst-ridden creature, which hadn’t tasted fresh blood in a long time, attacked Zhang Mu and was turned into a dried-up body in mid-air.
Zhang Mu couldn’t afford to stay for a moment now, without even bothering to collect the beast cores, he hurried towards East City.
Guided by the memories of the Obsidian Beetle, Zhang Mu sensed the gradually strengthening forces retreating along the way. The continuous bombardment of energy outside the city could be heard, but no humans had been seen coming in. They must have all been held outside the city, unable to enter.
The tactics of these mutant beasts and zombies disrupted Zhang Mu’s plan. Initially, when he learned about the existence of the Bottle Gourd, he thought of seizing it amidst the chaos. But now, the humans were quickly showing signs of decline and retreat.
Zhang Mu wasn’t sure if they would come back after repelling the humans, but the possibility was high. If he guessed right and they did come back, he might miss out on this treasure.
Zhang Mu felt really sad when the old white fox and the clever zombie mistook him for a regular treasure for evolution.
He needed to hurry to get to the memory location of the Obsidian Beetle. How to get the Bottle Gourd would depend on the situation at that time. Zhang Mu had a feeling that his biggest opponent might not be the terrifying mutant beast, but Long Qi, who he suspected had also sneaked in.
As they neared the location the Obsidian Beetle had mentioned, Zhang Mu got down from the mutated wolfhound’s back, allowing the shrunken Obsidian Beetle to sneak in directly. The power of concealing its presence of the Obsidian Beetle was much stronger compared to Zhang Mu. After a while, the Beetle sent a message to Zhang Mu, “Come see for yourself.”
He went over, and then the connection was lost.
“Come see for yourself,” what did the Obsidian Beetle mean? Did it know that hiding his presence from another second-rank mutant beast was impossible? Was going there directly a suicidal move?
The Obsidian Beetle wouldn’t be so foolish, so there was only one possibility: the second-rank old white fox wasn’t around the Bottle Gourd.
The thought brightened Zhang Mu’s mind instantly, and he rode the mutated wolfhound towards the direction of the Obsidian Beetle.
Even though Zhang Mu didn’t know why the old fox hadn’t been guarding the treasure for so long, he realized that now was the best time to steal the Bottle Gourd.
After a minute of continuous jumping on the roof, the mutated wolfhound ran directly with Zhang Mu towards where the Obsidian Beetle was.
Zhang Mu looked closely and saw exactly what Obsidian Beetle had described – a colorful shield surrounded by dozens of mutant beasts, alert and fearful.
