Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 154 A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man (3000)

Yu Shuaikang, who was following behind, heard what Li Mu said and said anxiously: "Fifth-level beast king?! Old Li, are you sure?"

Li Mu did not directly answer Yu Shuaikang's question, but turned around and said calmly: "No need to look at it anymore, let's go back first."

Although the two confused people didn't know what was going on, they were used to following Li Mu's orders and immediately flew back.

When the three men landed on the city wall, Dong Xiaoping and several city guards around them who noticed this scene ran over and saluted with their right hands raised: "Greetings, Lord City Lord!"

Unlike before, Li Mu was already used to this kind of address. He waved his hand calmly and said, "No need to be polite. When did you discover the traces of the beast tide?"

"It was around 9 o'clock in the morning. I was on duty on the city wall after my shift change, and suddenly I heard a continuous low roar outside.

Coincidentally, the sun was just coming out at that time, so I looked in the direction of the roaring sound and immediately saw the shadows of animals flashing in the thick fog.

Dong Xiaoping said slowly.

"9 points?"

When Li Mu heard the time reported by Dong Xiaoping, he was a little surprised. Could it be that these mutant beasts appeared at the time when the sun appeared?
But he changed his mind and said, "No! It can't be such a coincidence!"

Perhaps the mutant beasts had already arrived near Wanling City, but because the city walls were too high, they did not launch an attack immediately.

Then, Li Mu thought of the fifth-level beast king he had just sensed. Considering its intelligence close to that of an adult human, this guess might be correct.

"Then?"

Li Mu continued to ask.

"After discovering the traces of the mutant beast, I first told my brothers to cheer up and stick to their posts, and then I called you, the city lord."

Li Mu nodded slightly after hearing this, "Well done! Fortunately you notified us in time, otherwise with the number of mutant beasts outside, you alone would not be able to defend it."

Seeing that he had been recognized by the city lord, Dong Xiaoping smiled happily, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Hearing Dong Xiaoping's answer, Li Mu chuckled and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder, "Don't be so modest, I have always been a principled person, mistakes must be punished, and merits must be rewarded!
Tell me, what do you want? A house, a crystal core, or a special plant, just ask. "

Although guarding the city wall is Dong Xiaoping's responsibility, it is his duty to do his job well.

But many things are not as simple as they sound. There are many people in the world who just sit there doing nothing.

These people are only concerned with enjoying the benefits brought by their positions, but are unable to assume the responsibilities behind these benefits.

It’s okay if nothing happens normally, but once something happens, these people will become the ants that cause the dam to collapse!
Moreover, now is an extraordinary period, with a tide of beasts besieging the city, and we need to give others the motivation to fight, so Dong Xiaoping must be rewarded, and the reward must be generous.

On the other hand, Li Mu intends to establish Dong Xiaoping as a "model" to let others understand: as long as someone has made contributions to Wanling City, Wanling City will never treat him unfairly!
The performance of other people at the scene also proved that Li Mu was right in taking this step. When they heard that he was going to give Dong Xiaoping a reward, they all showed envious expressions.

Dong Xiaoping, the person involved, felt a little different from others. He was surprised but also a little uneasy. He didn't know what he should ask for, or he didn't know how much was appropriate.

If he asked for too little, he would feel sad that this hard-earned opportunity was wasted, but if he asked for too much, he was afraid that he would give Li Mu the impression that he was greedy, which would not be worth the loss.

So he tilted his head and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what he wanted.

This was not the first time that Li Mu had encountered such a situation, so he naturally saw his embarrassment at a glance.

"No hurry, take your time to think about it, and tell me when you've made up your mind."

Dong Xiaoping saluted again: "Thank you, Lord City Lord."

"Okay, keep watching carefully from now on. If you need anything, report it to the warehouse and I will arrange for someone to deliver it to you as soon as possible."

After Li Mu said this, he winked at Yu Shuaikang and Yao Chengcheng beside him, and the two understood what he meant.

Yu Shuaikang immediately said:

"Yes, don't worry, I will send people from the hunting team over to stand guard with you soon, so don't worry about not having enough manpower."

Yao Chengcheng promised: "In view of the critical situation this time, I have decided to set the salary of all on-duty personnel to three times the normal amount!
In addition, each person can receive one hour of practice room qualification every day for free. The time can be accumulated and can be transferred with the consent of the person himself. "

After a pause, Yao Chengcheng's face turned serious and he continued, "In short, as long as you can do your job well, Wanling City will never treat you unfairly!"

When everyone heard the promise made by Li Mu and the other two, their blood boiled.

This overwhelming wealth has finally come to them!
"As you command! Lord City Lord!"

…………

Half an hour later, we returned to the meeting room on the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion.

After the three of them sat down, Yu Shuaikang finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, looked at Li Mu and asked:
"Is there really a fifth-level beast king in the beast tide?"

Li Mu nodded and said calmly: "It's true!"

"It hid far away, thinking that no one could find it. But in my perception, its fifth-level aura was as bright as a lighthouse."

Yao Chengcheng frowned, "What's the purpose of it doing this? Is it because it's afraid of death and doesn't want to join the war?
Or, does it want to take advantage of the battle to launch a surprise attack?"

Li Mu snorted coldly, "Who knows? But there is nothing to be afraid of as long as I am here! If an enemy comes, I will fight him; if a flood comes, I will block it with earth. As long as it shows its head, I will be sure to kill it!"

Among the same level, humans’ combat power is generally not as good as that of mutant beasts, but that is for ordinary people, and Li Mu is not one of them.

Besides, he is not alone. "Hehe, I feel relieved when you say that. I will leave the Beast King to you. As for the other mutant beasts, leave them to us."

Yu Shuaikang has his own persistence and dignity, even though he failed to become a rare awakener and master the power of natural elements.

But, then again.

Since ancient times, the strongest military force of mankind is often not just the strength of the individual himself, but the comprehensive combat power when combined with the tools!

Coincidentally, Li Mu created many kinds of plants that can improve personal strength, and Yu Shuaikang's Qianji Vine has evolved more than once.

Just as the three of them were silent, quietly thinking about how to deal with the next battle, a white butterfly suddenly flew in from the window.

“This is the Homecoming Flower!”

The moment he saw the Homecoming Flowers, Li Mu's eyes narrowed slightly. If he remembered correctly, so far, the only Homecoming Flowers that were scattered around were the ones in Tang Anguo's hands.

Now the flowers have arrived, but the person is nowhere to be seen. Did he encounter some accident?
Li Mu reached out to take the Homecoming Flower and felt the energy on it. It was indeed Tang Anguo's.

"Eh? This should be the homecoming flower you gave to Captain Tang last time. Why are there only flowers but no people?"

"Could something have happened?"

Yao Chengcheng also guessed the origin of this homecoming flower in an instant. After all, he was present when Tang Anguo left a homecoming flower to guide the way before leaving.

"I checked and found that there is still a lot of energy left in this Homecoming Flower, so Captain Tang should not be in danger for the time being, but he must have encountered some troubles, so he released the Homecoming Flower to ask us for help."

"After all, if he was really in danger of death, he would only cherish the energy in his body and use it for fighting, and would not waste it like this."

Li Mu explained casually.

"Oh, so we're going to look for him now?"

Yu Shuaikang asked.

Li Mu shook his head and refused, "I can go by myself, you and Chengcheng stay to deal with the beast tide."

Yu Shuaikang urged, "Alright, then you should leave quickly and come back quickly!"

Seeing Yu Shuaikang urging him like this, Yao Chengcheng seemed to have remembered something and suddenly showed a strange smile:

"Hey, when did you become so close to Captain Tang?"

Yu Shuaikang laughed awkwardly, "Those who have drunk are all brothers. How can I not worry about the safety of my brothers?!"

Yao Chengcheng retorted: "That's not right! I remember Captain Tang said before he left last time that he would bring a few pretty girls with him next time."

After a pause, Yao Chengcheng continued to ask with a little curiosity: "You are not worried about Captain Tang, but the beautiful girl who came with him, right?"

Yu Shuaikang's thoughts were guessed, and his face instantly turned red. He simply threw in the towel: "That's right, what's the matter? You are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. You have a girlfriend, but Lao Li and I don't have one yet!"

"Right, Lao Li?"

Yao Chengcheng: “…” “(*⊙~⊙)”

He didn't expect Yu Shuaikang to admit it so straightforwardly, and was choked for a moment.

"Hey, just think what you want, why are you dragging me into this?"

The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched, wondering how this could involve him.

But he didn't want to waste time talking. "Okay, I'll leave now and try to bring Captain Tang and, uh, those pretty girls back as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu concentrated his energy and connected his mind to a certain huge object that had been parked at the bottom of the building.

A few seconds later, the silhouette of the Sky Shuttle appeared outside the window, and Li Mu jumped lightly into the cab.

"Let me see where you are."

Li Mu held the Homecoming Flower in his hand and squinted his eyes, as if he was sensing something.

Generally speaking, only two homecoming flowers on the same homecoming tree can sense each other's position and use it to navigate.

If two flowers are in the same place, they will naturally be nowhere to be found.

But this usage rule is for other users, Li Mu does not need it, he has other ways.

As the creator, he can sense the true body of the Homecoming Tree through source energy, so finding Tang Anguo and others is a very simple matter.

"Found it! In the south!"
