Chapter 250: Backup Team
When Zhang Mu urged wolfdog, without caring about its ssy appearance, wolfdog quickly gulped down the remaining Earth Dragon, then got up and continued digging towards Luo Yang City without finishing the underground project.
In the last five kiloters, Zhang Mu started to feel nervous. Even though they easily defeated the Earth Dragon, Zhang Mu had a bad feeling that they might have overlooked the range of the mutant beast’s territory.
When you have to do sothing, you have no choice but to do it.
The Earth Dragon from earlier must not be part of the group above, otherwise they would have discovered Zhang Mu and inford the others, and the twelve ters of earth would have been breached long ago.
While wolfdog was digging the tunnel, a sudden soul connection from the Obsidian Beetle made him tense.
“We don’t have much stored natural wind left. We need to speed up wolfdog. Its speed has decreased by two-thirds since earlier. It will need to stop digging soon to listen for any movent around.”
Zhang Mu responded gradually, “We only have three miles left. It’s understandable for wolfdog to be a bit nervous.”
“By the way, how much longer can your stored natural wind last?”
The Obsidian Beetle’s voice was serious as it said to Zhang Mu, “It will only last for five more minutes. At our current speed, we won’t make it to Luo Yang City. We’ll be trapped in this tunnel unless we dig up ten more ters to the surface.”
But when the ti cos, it’s uncertain whether you’ll be surrounded by hundreds or thousands of mutant beasts.”
After so thinking, Zhang Mu decided to take a little risk and carefully commanded the earth-elent mutated wolfhound, “Regain your original speed, let’s go all out and rush to Luo Yang City, ti is running out.”
The wolfdog looked at Zhang Mu with so doubt, but when it saw the unquestionable seriousness in Zhang Mu’s eyes, it imdiately mobilized all its energy, communicated with the earth-elent around it, the surrounding earth began to tremble, resonating with the energy on the mutated wolfhound.
Roar!
The mutated wolfhound roared and with full force, conjured a helt made of earth-elent energy at its head, no longer using its forelimbs, but forcefully broke open the passage ahead with its head.
With Yuan Rui in one arm and Hao Hao in the other, Zhang Mu followed closely behind, barely keeping up with the speed of the mutated wolfhound.
This was the true strength of the mutated wolfhound, surrounded by earth-elent energy, even though it was first-tier, its speed could easily press Zhang Mu down underground.
Without the deliberate control of the mutated wolfhound, rocks kept cracking and smashing towards the people behind as it moved, but Zhang Mu’s ntal shield was fully activated now, any rock fragnts that shattered towards him were directly deflected, having no impact at all on their speed.
After the rapid increase in the mutated wolfhound’s speed, the distance between them and Luo Yang City beca shorter and shorter. With its current speed, the earth didn’t hinder it at all, instead, there was a supportive force from the earth giving it a push. However, the air resistance increased with the rising speed causing a significant energy loss.
In the blink of an eye, there was only one mile left, the final 500 ters, and they would enter the protected area of Luo Yang City. Just two minutes had passed.
Zhang Mu was a bit amazed. Even from the beginning, the mutated wolfhound’s speed had been impressive. Now that he had seen its power, he realized the strong bond it had with the earth elent was reaching an almost extre level.
Suddenly, Zhang Mu had an idea. When the mutated wolfhound advanced to second rank and couldn’t fly, could they rely on its ability to dig underground and flee?
It was exciting to think about. Flying, burrowing, he had multiple escape options now. Being prepared for ergencies was important.
Are they almost there?
Zhang Mu didn’t relax at this point. He still felt the sense of danger lingering. The next 500 ters should be the most perilous stretch if nothing unexpected happened.
“Be careful, I sense sothing tracking us.” Zhang Mu’s expression turned serious. He maintained his pace, hoping to reach Luo Yang City before danger struck if they were fast enough.
The mutated wolfhound let out a soft growl, increasing its speed even further. Zhang Mu and the others followed closely behind.
The feeling of danger weighed heavily on him. As a psychic, he sensed an increasing number of prying eyes around them, and the intensity was rising.
How co there are so many?
The mutated wolfhound began to feel agitated, its control over the earth elent was being weakened and disrupted. It sensed a sharp decrease in its control over the surrounding earth elent, so it had to speed up even more.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhang Mu’s pupils dilated, and several cracks simultaneously appeared in the surrounding rocks, emitting mutated beasts with the sa appearance as the Earth Dragon from before, rushing out from all directions.
Did it call for help out of unwillingness in its heart? It should have realized long ago, how could there be only one earthworm in the soil?
It seems that the mutated wolfhound’s perception is already so disturbed that it can no longer judge when the opponent might appear.
Logically speaking, Zhang Mu is not afraid of a dozen first-level mutated beasts, but now it is their main battlefield, where they live, and the oxygen is about to run out, they are running out of ti.
The timing and location are both lost, the only chance to turn the tables is unity.
In a second, over a dozen Earth Dragons with drill-like heads bumped against Zhang Mu’s ntal shield. Although he imdiately blocked this wave of attacks, Zhang Mu’s ntal strength was rapidly depleting.
This ti, the Earth Dragons did not spare the mutated wolfhounds. Several of them charged towards the mutated wolfhounds, showing that they had noticed this place as the main battlefield.
They could only rely on the Blood Lotus’s help, but Zhang Mu was currently holding Yuan Rui and Hao Hao while retreating, unable to free up his hands. Relying solely on the Blood Lotus could only barely stop the enemy’s attacks.
Although the bodies of these Earth Dragons were wrapped in a layer of rocks, they were very agile. The Blood Lotus could not restrain their bodies and movents at all.
“Hurry, keep digging, don’t stop. Leave these earthworms to .”
Zhang Mu anxiously turned around and shouted at the mutated wolfhounds, successfully intercepting their attacks towards them.
However, because of this, Zhang Mu’s ntal shield was starting to falter, shaking and wobbling. The earth-elent boost that the Earth Dragons gained in the soil was too significant.
Zhang Mu couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
“Strike the young ones, let the old ones co. This backup team is really powerful.”
