"I'm going out for a few days. Keep an eye on the house!"
"I've put fifty thousand bullets in the warehouse. Shoot them if you can't beat them!"
After dinner.
Jiang He summoned Dumbo and Trumbo and gave them a bunch of instructions before leaving the mansion, smiling at Mu Wanqiu who was standing by the gates. "Everything's been moved up? Alright, we can go now. "
"Oh, right …"
"Should we buy some sunflower seeds and beer when we pass by the supermarket?"
Jiang He had no intention of driving his own car since he had to carry a lot of stuff. His sports car had too little space, and he did not want to expose his System Backpack in front of Mu Wanqiu. Since Mu Wanqiu was driving an off-road vehicle, wouldn't it be nice to hitch a ride?
He opened the car door.
Sitting on the passenger seat, he found Mu Wanqiu glaring at him through clenched teeth.
"Drive," Jiang He said. "What time is it? Why are you staring at me? "
You actually know what time it is?
Mu Wanqiu was rather speechless. "Jiang He, we don't have to bring things like the grill, do we? I brought high-calorie compressed food. "
"How could that junk food compare to grilled meat?"
"What about the sunflower seeds and beer?"
As the car drove out of the village, Mu Wanqiu flashed a pained smile. "There were many Ferals and venomous insects on Mount Helan before the Revival of Qi, and the environment there has changed drastically after the Revival of Qi. Many powerful Ferals must have been born, and this trip is fraught with danger. Moreover, we're not going on a vacation."
Jiang He chuckled. "I've never been to Mount Helan before. I heard that the scenery there is countless times better after the Revival of Qi, so I'll just treat it as a vacation … by the way, did you bring your camera? My phone's pixels aren't that good. "
"…"
Mu Wanqiu took a deep breath.
Jiang He, on the other hand, felt a tug at the undulation …
Was it too small?
It still looks the same size as before. Could it be because the tight tracksuit is too big?
They should head to the city to buy some sunflower seeds and beer.
Mu Wanqiu promptly drove onto the highway, which surprised Jiang He, and he asked as he munched on sunflower seeds, "Can we drive on the highway?"
Didn't many novels mention that highways and railways would be destroyed by Ferals after the Revival of Qi?
"The highway from Lingzhou City to Western Xia has not been destroyed by Ferals. We'll get off at the highway junction at Western Xia and go there at a slower speed."
Mu Wanqiu's driving skills were excellent.
Even as the car sped up to 140 km/h, the car was stable.
She was a Transcendent Awakened. Although her physique was not comparable to that of a martial artist of the same level, her reflexes and body coordination were much stronger than that of an ordinary person. As long as the car's performance was good enough, it would not be a problem for her to go even faster.
Just as he was about to reach Western Xia, Jiang He dialed Wang Meng's number.
Wang Meng said, "I happen to be near the highway. I'll wait for you here."
"Ten"
Jiang He met Wang Meng.
Just like his name, Wang Meng's appearance was very rough and fierce.
He was 1.9 meters tall and had a stocky build. His skin was dark, and he wore a camouflage uniform. He carried an alloy saber on his back, and there was a small knife and a few throwing knives on his belt.
There were two men and a woman with Wang Meng.
Judging from their aura fluctuations, one of the two men was a Level Three Martial Artist and the other was a Level Four Martial Artist. As for the slightly ugly woman in red who had a decent figure, there was a cold aura fluctuating around her.
This kind of aura wave was very different from a martial artist's blood and Qi. It was clearly a Transcendent Awakened.
Jiang He guessed that she might be a water-type Awakened.
"You are the Desert Swordsman?"
Jiang He walked up and shook Wang Meng's hand, before glancing at the others and saying, "I'm a little curious. You're a party of martial artists, aren't you? You don't look too weak. Since you know the location of the mutated fungus … black wood-ear, why don't you go and collect it yourself? "
Wang Meng shook his head and said, "If it was half a year ago, I might have given it a try, but now I can't. The mutated fungus I found is located in the depths of the Helan Mountains, called the Rolling Bell Mouth. With the strength of our team, if we enter the mountains now, we will definitely die."
"Oh?"
Jiang He's gaze twitched and he smiled. "Incidentally, I was about to go to Mount Helan. Could something have happened there recently?"
"You're going there now?"
Wang Meng's face dropped and he quickly said, "Brother, we've known each other for a while, so listen to me. Mount Helan isn't safe these days, so don't go there for now. It's not too late to go after the storm blows over."
He lowered his voice and said, "A treasure has appeared in Mount Helan. It has attracted many powerful beasts and experts. It is said that people have been fighting in Mount Helan for the past few days. Every night, there are miserable screams."
"Brother, listen to me. Don't die on Mount Helan right after I sold you the information …"
Jiang He smiled.
Though Wang Meng was not good with words, Jiang He could tell that he was being kind.
Nonchalantly logging into Warrior Home, Jiang He transferred 100 merit points to Wang Meng, saying, "I'll give you an extra 50 merit points. Tell me more about Mount Helan."
Wang Meng's face twitched, but he stopped trying to persuade Jiang He. After musing to himself for a while, he said, "I've only heard about it from the grapevine. It's said that the land of Mount Helan eats people, and that there might be treasures buried beneath it. Still, it's true that some powerful Ferals and martial artists have appeared there recently."
Jiang He frowned, but soon offered a fist-palm salute. "Many thanks."
He climbed into his car, while Mu Wanqiu said, "Should we head back and look for another target?"
"No need. Let's drive."
Jiang He became even more interested in Mount Helan.
The land eats people?
Could soil mutate as well?
There was no telling if it ate potatoes …
"Should I dig up some of the man-eating soil of Mount Helan and see if I could plant something?"
Watching as Jiang He left, one of the members of Wang Meng's party could not help asking, "Brother Meng, where did that brat come from? Isn't he afraid of death? Is he a hothead? Bringing a girl to Mount Helan … does he think it's a vacation? "
"Shut up!"
Wang Meng barked coldly.
He was the strongest among them and was close to rank-four advanced, but he could not tell Jiang He's level at all. Still, he could sense a faint fire-type ripple from Mu Wanqiu's body.
How could a fire-type Awakened who was stronger than himself be a hothead driving him?
… …
Around five in the afternoon, Mu Wanqiu's off-road vehicle arrived at the foot of Mount Helan.
She got off the car and stared at the endless mountains, a faint fear rising in her for some reason … because of her family, Mu Wanqiu had yet to experience a real fight even though she was an Awakened.
On the other hand, Jiang He was a little eager.
There must be a lot of Ferals in these mountains!
The time to test his physical beast-taming technique had finally arrived!
Waving his hand, Jiang He said, "Come, let's enter the mountains!"
…
At the same time.
On the other side of Mount Helan, twenty kilometers away.
Bound Star and Guilty Star had arrived at the foot of the mountain, carrying an alloy combat axe over their backs, to greet an elderly man dressed in black Tang clothing.
He had a goatee and appeared to be in his sixties.
"Guilty, Bound Star."
The elderly man smiled. "Wasn't there a floral spirit found in Mount Helan? Do you really need me to go with your abilities? "
"Third Elder!"
Guilty Star said reverently. "We found a big fellow in the mountains … and its ability is equal to rank-nine!"
