"Who says that's not the case? However, the strategic direction of the humans is not something we can control." Wang Zhong smiled and said, "However, during this period of battle, I feel that the Octopus people have a rather good understanding of us. They have even grasped our language and culture, including their understanding of the Holy Land. The Holy Land's actions might be to strike first and gain the upper hand."
Of course, this was all Wang Zhong's own judgment. His level limited the information, but he would never underestimate his opponents, much less the Patriarch Society in the Holy Land. A group that could control such power would definitely not look at problems more simply than them.
"Sigh, in my opinion, war is for plundering. Plundering is for strength, and strength is for eternal life. However, in reality, war has already brought about continuous deaths since the beginning. This is really a contradictory proposition, "Napier interrupted. Napier interrupted from the side. Frankly speaking, Napier preferred the structure of the Federation, but he was very adaptable. This was the life he was facing.
"You can't say that." Mu Zi smiled. Ever since he came to the Fifth Dimension, he had been more relaxed. It seemed as if the problems that troubled him had disappeared, at least for now. "Do you believe in reincarnation? There is no absolute boundary between life and death. The death of the weak might just be a form of training, allowing their souls to transform and become stronger through life and death."
This was also the first time that Napier had come into contact with Mu Zi. Over the past two days, he had heard many people in the exploration team worshipping Mu Zi's miraculous healing methods. He had always thought that Mu Zi was just a super healer, but after a few days of interaction, he realized that Mu Zi was a fraud. Mu Zi seemed indifferent to life and death, and he would occasionally come up with a few mysterious theories that sounded quite plausible, causing Napier to feel dizzy.
However, this further affirmed Napier's opinion of Mu Zi. A super healer and a metaphysics master. Of course, Mu Zi was a key target for protection.
There was no lack of dangerous venomous insects in this forest. Napier had also volunteered to be the vanguard, claiming that he was going to protect the super healer. However, not long after they entered the forest, a wave of seven Shadow Wolves attacked them, allowing Napier to witness the violence of a healer.
The Shadow Spirit Wolf was a level-6 dimensional lifeform that was widely distributed in the Mizobudapi World. It was also the most common threat that exploration teams faced in the wild when exploring the Mizobudapi World. Its individual combat power was extremely strong, and it was good at hiding its tracks. It also lived in groups and was extremely good at ganging up on its prey. Furthermore, it was cunning and cautious by nature. When it encountered a large team, it would hide. When it encountered a lone or small human team, it would attack.
As a result, the humans had suffered a lot of losses. Seven level-6 dimensional lifeforms suddenly appeared from all directions and launched a sneak attack. It looked rather scary. Even though Napier's strength had increased greatly recently, he was still flustered for a while. He hurriedly activated his Soul Power Circuit, but before he was ready, the battle had already ended.
Wang Zhong didn't even make a move, and Mu Zi didn't do anything either. He just killed the first Shadow Spirit Wolf that charged at him with a slap and conveniently released Ham Sausage to scare the rest away. The battle wasn't the main point. Ham Sausage seemed to like the environment here very much.
Napier was like a child who had never seen the world. "Mu Zi, aren't you a healer … a healer?"
"Who told you that?" Wang Zhong laughed.
"Everyone says so. A healer and a Soul Beast Master, but …" Napier was really shocked by Mu Zi's casual slap.
"That's not wrong. However, these are all amateurs. Mu Zi is an expert in the soul. You'll know soon enough."
Mu Zi just smiled foolishly, revealing his white teeth. It was very bright. Napier instantly burst into tears. Deep down, he wanted to show off his skills. Although he didn't know how well Grai had mastered the Three Major Circuits, he liked them very much. He could understand them at a glance and learn them at a glance. Now, he was very familiar with them. The doubling of his power gave him great confidence. However, when he saw these two people … they were monsters.
Although it was very difficult for others to travel in this forest that was filled with countless ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, the three of them still traveled as if they were walking on flat ground. However, the terrain was indeed rather complicated, and they had to make detours in many places. After traveling for an entire day, they were still about 100 kilometers away from the Shadow Moon Fortress.
At this speed, they would probably reach the Shadow Moon Fortress by tomorrow morning. It was not convenient to sneak in during the day, but the three of them were not in a hurry. Seeing that it was already late, they simply set up camp here and rested. They would recover their energy before continuing their journey tomorrow morning. That way, they would arrive at the Shadow Moon Fortress tomorrow night, and it would be more convenient for them to move.
A campfire lit up. Napier was a careless person. Not long after he fell down, he started snoring.
On the other hand, Wang Zhong and Mu Zi leaned against the tent and pretended to sleep. Wang Zhong was secretly paying attention to the situation around him. After all, this was not his own bedroom, and various Dimensional creatures and poisonous insects were everywhere. On the other hand, Mu Zi was already used to this state of pretending to sleep. They had been training outside for many years, and they had lived like this for 365 days a year. With their strong spiritual power, not sleeping for a few days was child's play. They only needed to close their eyes and rest for a while, and their spirits would recover extremely well.
Occasionally, they could hear the strange sounds of night owls, as well as the whispers of grass insects and the cries of cicadas. This was accompanied by the bright moonlight of the Mizobudapi World, making them feel relaxed and abnormally peaceful.
There were no unusual sounds, but suddenly, Wang Zhong and Mu Zi opened their eyes at the same time. They suddenly felt a sense of danger. Both of them spread their divine senses out immediately and instantly covered an area of several hundred meters around the campsite, but they found nothing.
Wang Zhong and Mu Zi looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes, as well as the certainty of danger.
The sense of danger did not come from the surroundings of the campsite. What was it?
Boom!
There was a loud bang from afar. Just by listening to the sound, they knew that it was a long-range attack. Furthermore, it sounded like the extremely powerful Macedonian heavy rune cannon, and there was more than one of them!
Humans?! The Holy City Army?
The sense of danger increased rapidly. Without even looking, they knew that the other party must have locked onto the three of them.
Wang Zhong and Mu Zi's expressions changed slightly. Mu Zi immediately grabbed Napier, who had just woken up, and a wave of gray energy instantly spread out from his body, forming a protective shield.
"Domination Constitution!" On the other hand, Wang Zhong instantly activated his Power Circuit. His muscles swelled, and thick energy formed layers of keratin-like protective membranes on his smooth skin in the blink of an eye.
The attack from the sky came extremely quickly. The defense had just been activated, and violent energy waves had already exploded in the campsite.
Rumble rumble rumble …
The attack landed right next to the bonfire, causing the ground to tremble violently in that instant. A powerful shockwave from the explosion smashed the nearby tents into smithereens, and all the shockwaves blasted into the surroundings of Wang Zhong, Mu Zi, and Mu Zi.
Both of their bodies sank violently. They wanted to stabilize themselves from the impact, but the energy of the explosion was simply too shocking. In just one-tenth of a second, the irresistible impact sent the two of them, along with the Life and Death Coffin, flying away. In just an instant, the shockwave spread violently, and the entire jungle seemed to have been swept by a gale. Large patches of trees and shrubs were blown away by the wind pressure from the powerful shockwave. The entire ground shook, and the shockwave spread to a radius of two to three kilometers.
The attack came quickly and disappeared quickly as well. The rumbling sounds of the explosion gradually calmed down. The original campsite had become a scorched land, and all the shrubs and trees within a radius of dozens of meters had been turned into ashes.
Mu Zi was sent flying dozens of meters away by the energy of the shockwave. Fortunately, he reacted in time and used Life and Death energy to protect himself. There were a few scratches on his body, and there was a buzzing sound in his head. He seemed to have a slight concussion, but it was not serious. He just looked extremely pathetic, and his clothes were in tatters. Mu Zi saw that Wang Zhong was not far away from him and was also lying on the ground in a sorry state. Mu Zi was about to stand up and ask, but he saw that Wang Zhong was looking at him with a clear look in his eyes. Wang Zhong blinked at him and shook his head slightly.
Mu Zi understood and imitated Wang Zhong, lying on the ground and not moving. Napier had already fainted. Even with Mu Zi's protection, he would not be able to withstand this level of attack.
The other party's attack was launched from a very far distance. Wang Zhong was very clear about it. From the sound of the attack, he could tell that the sound was low and powerful, but it was accompanied by a sharp whistle that pierced through the air. This was the Holy City Army's Macedonian Rune Cannon. Of course, it was not a giant cannon like the one on the airship. If it was that kind of cannon, their defense would have been blown into pieces long ago. Of course, he could definitely sense that the Macedonian Heavy Cannon was charging up energy. This was an important weapon for exploration teams, an improved version of the Macedonian Light Cannon. It was shockingly powerful and easy to carry around, but it was very expensive. It was also known as a small horse cannon, and not many exploration teams had it. But why would it be used on them?
This was definitely not an accident. Someone must have calculated the time and waited for them here … Who exactly was it that had such a deep hatred for them and used this kind of weapon to deal with them?
Time passed, and the surroundings were quiet. In the forest that had been bombarded, even the sounds of insects and birds at night could not be heard anymore. Only the occasional sound of a gentle breeze could be heard. Wang Zhong and Mu Zi had already spread their divine senses in the surroundings. A full half an hour had passed, but the enemy was very patient and did not move at all. However, when it came to patience, who could compare to Wang Zhong and Mu Zi, who had been used to being alone for 20 years?
Not only did Wang Zhong disguise his appearance, but Mu Zi's aura of death was also released bit by bit, causing these two bodies to emit a strong aura of death. They could not be any more real.
The two of them waited quietly. A vulture finally broke into this area that had been quiet for as long as half an hour. It circled in the air and was attracted by the aura of death that Mu Zi emitted. When it discovered the two corpses on the ground, it immediately flew down and pecked Wang Zhong's arm.
Although it was only a level-3 scavenging creature, its sharp beak was still as sharp as a knife when it pecked down. Although Wang Zhong's physical body was strong, he did not use his Tyrant Constitution to protect his body. Therefore, the peck still hurt his arm. If it was someone else, they might have given up. The enemy was too cautious and might even leave after one attack. However, Wang Zhong pretended to be the one to the end and endured the pecking of the sharp beak without making a sound. He even tried to relax his body and mimicked the natural muscle reaction of a corpse being chewed on, hoping to make his acting more realistic. His divine sense was too sharp. Although he could not determine the enemy's position due to the distance, he could clearly feel that someone was staring at him and Mu Zi from afar.
If it was any other situation, Wang Zhong would definitely fight back immediately, but it was different this time. The enemy would definitely run away after one attack, and it would be difficult to find them again. The enemy inside was too dangerous, so he had to find them!
The scavenging vulture seemed to have long been used to the embarrassment of not being able to peck through the skin of various high-level dimensional creatures. It was not anxious at all. It knew that as long as it was a corpse, the energy in its body would dissipate. It had a lot of time to wait. It pecked from time to time, then looked up at the sky, flapped its wings, and made a chirping sound, as if it was attracting its companions to share this delicious meal.
The enemy hiding in the dark finally couldn't bear it any longer. It was their mission to kill these two people, and they could only receive the reward if they brought their heads back. If this vulture really summoned a large group of companions to eat the two of them until only their bones were left, how could they receive the reward?
"Boss, are we still waiting?" In the jungle a few miles away, a Holy Disciple said, "They should be dead. I can feel the aura of death. No matter how smart he is, he can't know that I can control the vulture to test him. What if the Zhao Family doesn't want to admit it?"
The one-eyed man raised his finger slightly and gestured to everyone behind him.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh …
In an instant, thirteen figures rushed out from the low but extremely hidden bushes at the same time. Everyone, including the one-eyed man, had a relaxed and proud expression on their faces. The Holy War was indeed a good place to make a fortune. It was another easy mission, and they had earned 100,000 Holy Coins. Not only that, but the horse cannon that was loaned to them also belonged to them. This was a powerful weapon that couldn't be bought even if one had the money!
But such smiles disappeared the moment they stepped into the camp.
(Comrades, please get a monthly ticket. Thank you!)
The speed of these people was already extremely fast. It only took them a few minutes to rush over from the bushes several miles away. However, the three corpses that should have been lying on the ground, along with the strange coffin, had disappeared in just a few minutes.
"Retreat!" With just one glance, his instinctive reaction made the one-eyed man's hair stand on end. If he was cautious at the beginning because he was afraid of Wang Zhong's reputation of killing a Sword Saint, then at this moment, he was truly afraid. Needless to say, Wang Zhong was able to survive the close-range bombardment of the small Macedonian rune cannon and even put on such a realistic act to trick them. This was definitely not someone that the one-eyed man's exploration team could face head-on.
However, the moment the one-eyed man gave the order, everyone had already scattered in all directions, and no one overlapped with each other. Like a goddess scattering flowers, they completed a perfect scattered formation and fled in all directions. However, it was a pity that they encountered Wang Zhong's ambush.
