My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 82 Return, Goodbye Giant Turtle

"Jingle Bell--"

The bell rang, and Chu Mu, who had been talking to his mother for a long time, gently put his mother's hand back into the quilt, then stood up and walked to the aisle.

After the call was connected, Liu Chang's anxious voice came quickly.

"Old Chu, I just found out that something happened to the escort team. Are you not injured?"

"No, it's just a minor skin injury. In two or three days, even the scar won't be visible." Chu Mu spoke in a relaxed tone.

"That's good." Liu Chang sighed, "There's still one more escort, why don't we just give up and take the 45 Alliance Coins first, and we can slowly save the rest using other methods."

"This is your family's business. How can you persuade people to run away like this?" Chu Mu was speechless for a moment.

"It's okay. I had a fight with my dad a few days ago, and he has started thinking about getting a small trumpet!" Liu Chang said indifferently.

Chu Mu: “…”

"I will go on the next escort mission." Chu Mu said softly, "Escorting is also a kind of experience for me."

The accelerated training in space can allow Chu Mu to catch up with his peers more quickly. The high salary of 90 Alliance coins a month can allow him to gather the money needed for Nerolo Fruit more quickly. Even the life-and-death battles are the driving force for a rapid breakthrough in strength.

If it weren't for this danger, Chu Mu didn't know how long it would take for his skills to break through to the second level in one go and reach perfection.

"Changzi, do you still remember what Mr. Zhou taught us in the first class at the beginning of the first year of high school?"

"Those who retreat to a corner and only know how to practice are not considered Star Warriors."

“Only those who have seen blood and dared to draw their swords can be considered as true martial artists.”

"Of course I remember." Liu Chang said without hesitation, "It was because of this that I gave up martial arts."

Chu Mu was speechless for a moment.

"Forget it, I can't persuade you." Liu Chang was somewhat helpless, "Next time you escort, you must be extra careful!"

"I know." Chu Mu nodded and smiled. "Come to think of it, I have to thank you for giving me a heads up and letting Team Leader Zhou take care of me."

Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for the D6-level protective suit reinforced lining that Zhou Qinghu had given him, the sudden energy ray would probably have easily penetrated his shoulder bone.

That's not an injury that can be recovered from in two or three days.

"Ah?" Liu Chang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. "Captain Zhou? What Captain Zhou?"

Chu Mu was also stunned. "Didn't you tell me that you had informed me in advance and asked a Soaring Realm master to take care of me?"

"Yes!" Liu Chang said in a strange tone, "But the person I greeted was Sister Du Yue. I am more familiar with her in the escort team."

Chu Mu: “…”

He suddenly thought of the arrow that Du Yue shot at him the first time he freed his hand.

Thinking about it carefully, although Du Yue didn't talk much to him on the way, she did take care of him during the battle.

Did I make a mistake?

Chu Mu was a little amused.

So...why does Zhou Qinghu take such good care of him?

He originally thought it was Liu Chang's request, but now it seems not to be.

There is one more escort left, maybe everything will become clear by then.

Chu Mu thought silently and quickly ended the call with Liu Chang.
-
"Om-"

As the mantis's blade slashed, a fourth-level star beast of the beast soldier level that was over a hundred meters long died on the spot, blood splattering, and the rookie behind him couldn't help but shrink his head.

It was just a nap, but the mantis had become much stronger in its perception, and the sense of danger it brought to it became even stronger.

What a terrible guy.

Fortunately, this scary guy is his boss.

Taking the big piece of meat thrown by Chu Mu, Cai Gou devoured it happily with a happy smile on his face.

Follow the boss and you will have meat to eat!

As he was about to finish his meal, Cai Gou suddenly paused, and the long whiskers on his face and head moved. He sensed a familiar breath in the area.

Chu Mu, who had already completed devouring the flesh and blood with his sharp blade, gave him a questioning look.

"Ow!"

The dog grabbed the last piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, pointed in a certain direction, raised his foot and ran away.

It seems something is going on.

Chu Mu understood and followed closely.

After traveling nearly thirty kilometers in a flash, Chu Mu heard a deafening roar filled with endless anger not far ahead.

"hold head high!!!"

This sound?
The mantis's compound eyes moved, and Chu Mu quickly climbed up the surrounding trees, stood on a high place and looked into the distance, and soon saw a familiar figure.

Carrying a heavy shell, with a mouth full of sharp teeth and golden pupils, it was the giant turtle that I hadn't seen since we parted more than ten days ago.

At this moment, the giant turtle was more than sixty meters in size, with surging life force all over its body. It seemed that it had just broken through to the fourth level of beast soldier level not long ago, and its breath had not yet calmed down.

The angry roar just now came from it.

The tiger-shaped beast it was facing was so big that it was 180 meters long that Chu Mu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

This body type...

Chu Mu, who had come into contact with many star beasts, could tell at a glance that the giant tiger confronting the giant turtle was only one step away from the fifth level of beast soldier level.

Encountering a guy like this, the giant turtle didn’t run away?

"Ow?"

Cai Gou cast a questioning look at Chu Mu.

Chu Mu was about to speak when he saw the giant tiger star beast looking at him and letting out a fierce roar full of threats.

You have nothing to do here, get away!
Chu Mu was silent for a moment, then unfolded his two swords.

If you dare to threaten me, you will die!

After a moment, Chu Mu pulled out the sharp blade from the corpse of the giant tiger star beast and looked at the giant turtle not far away.

The giant turtle looked at Chu Mu and Cai Gou with complicated eyes.

Of course it recognized both of them, but it didn't expect that the strength of these two guys increased a lot in such a short period of time.

"Ang~"

With a low growl full of gratitude, the giant turtle turned around with heavy steps.

Looking at the other person's sad back, Chu Mu was silent for a moment, and chose to follow out of curiosity.

Cai Gou looked at the giant tiger's corpse that had not been eaten yet with some reluctance, but still followed Chu Mu obediently.

Feeling the two beasts following behind, the giant turtle did not say anything. Soon, it stopped on a shallow beach.

There, lying was a turtle-like star beast with a broken shell and no voice. It was only five or six meters long and looked like a tiny thing in front of the giant turtle.

It lowered its head slightly and nudged the little turtle's body, its golden eyes filled with sadness.

Chu Mu looked at the giant turtle, then at the small turtle, and fell into deep thought.

These two...are they not father and son?
Isn’t that right?

Star beasts have no concept of race, so there is no such thing as reproduction. They have no consciousness or behavior of reproduction.

This is clearly recorded in human research materials on star beasts.

As for how the star beast was born...

Chu Mu has lived in Xingyuan for more than two months, but he has not yet seen the birth of a star beast, so he has no idea about this question.

But he suddenly felt that the giant turtle might know the answer.
