The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

His profession as a beast tamer granted him a sensory connection with his pets; he could sense...

The little pony yearned, desperately craved something from Lin Yuwei. Something that could evolve his pet, something that could transform his pet from a weak herbivore into a true fighter.

Zhang Peng hesitated.

He thought that as long as he remained under the military's protection, he wouldn't have anything to do with Su Mu once he got on the cable car.

He could take this quickly and without anyone noticing. He took a few steps forward and joined the group.

The strength of the various guilds was roughly equal, and none of them dared to make the first move.

On the surface, everyone was chatting and laughing, but secretly they were all plotting... Whoever made the first move would become the target of everyone's anger. Some offered bribes, some threatened, some watched from the sidelines, and some were already subtly giving their subordinates meaningful glances.

Lin Yuwei was surrounded, like prey caught in a pack of wolves. Her consciousness was beginning to blur; the faces of those people flickered before her eyes, distorted and deformed like reflections in water.

Her ears were ringing, and she couldn't hear what they were saying, but she knew what they were saying.

They wanted what was on her. What was on her... that quarter of the egg yolk, half of it had already gone into her stomach, half digested, the other half wreaking havoc in her veins. She couldn't take it out, and she couldn't give it to anyone.

She tried to speak, but her throat felt blocked by something, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Her vision was getting blurrier and blurrier, and her strength was gradually slipping away. She felt like she was about to give up.

She thought to herself, "I should have never drunk that egg yolk. I should have waited for Su Mu to come back. I should have..." She didn't finish her thought.

Su Mu walked in from outside the crowd.

His pace was slow, but each step was steady.

His gaze passed over the heads of those people and landed on the woman covered in blood in the center of the crowd.

His brow furrowed.

He originally thought it was some kind of rare and precious treasure...

The aura was so intense, even stronger than egg yolk, so intense that his golden bloodline surged wildly within him, and so intense that a golden halo involuntarily appeared on the surface of his skin.

But when he saw that it was Lin Yuwei, he froze.

Lin Yuwei leaned against the corner of the wall, covered in blood, her clothes torn in several places, revealing the wounds underneath.

Her face was deathly pale, her lips purple, and her eyes unfocused, but her fingers still gripped the gun; she hadn't fallen. She was surrounded by a crowd of people, like a pack of hyenas surrounding a wounded prey.

Greed, calculation, and impatience were written all over their faces. Some of them Su Mu had met in the secret realm, and some he didn't recognize, but the way they looked at Lin Yuwei was the same... like looking at a prisoner who had been sentenced to death, waiting for her to breathe her last, and then dividing up her belongings.

Lin Yuwei's consciousness was beginning to fade. All she could see were blurry, swaying figures, and the sounds grew more distant and indistinct, as if seen through a thick layer of cotton.

Her hands were trembling; the gun slipped from her grasp and hit the ground with a sharp metallic clang. She thought she was going to die.

Then she saw someone.

The person walked in from outside the crowd, and everyone around automatically made way for him... not because they knew him, but because he had something about him that made people not want to block their way.

His steps were slow but steady; his face was expressionless, but his eyes furrowed slightly the moment he saw her.

Lin Yuwei's lips curled up slightly. She felt as if she had seen a god descend to earth. Then she closed her eyes, her body went limp, and she fell to the side.

Su Mu stepped forward and caught her.

Her body was so light, so light, that it seemed impossible for someone to fight their way through a horde of monsters on their own.

But that feeling grew even stronger... so strong that every cell in his body was screaming madly, "Eat her!" As Su Mu held Lin Yuwei, the urge to devour "her" intensified.

His golden blood was boiling within him, and a golden halo rose from the surface of his skin like a thin layer of flame.

Damn it, what did this woman do?

Su Mu cursed inwardly.

He guessed that Lin Yuwei had eaten a quarter of the egg liquid, and then some strange situation occurred... Her body could not digest that energy, and that energy was running rampant in her body, seeping out from her pores, forming this aura that he could not ignore.

Only someone with the golden bloodline could sense the essence of this aura. Ordinary people couldn't perceive its specific source; they would only feel... that this woman possessed a rare treasure, and a very powerful one at that.

"Who are you?" A guild leader stepped forward, blocking Su Mu's path, his tone unfriendly. "What right do you have to take her away?"

"Everyone who sees her things gets a share. You want to keep them all for yourself?" Another person stepped forward, his attitude forceful.

"One person trying to snatch someone from so many of us? They really don't respect us at all."

Several people spoke at the same time, each one more aggressive than the last.

They didn't know Su Mu, nor did they care about him.

In their eyes, Su Mu was just a hothead who appeared out of nowhere, trying to steal the prize. Someone pointed a detector at Su Mu, and the screen displayed: Unable to view. The guild leaders exchanged glances, guessing that Su Mu had some kind of shielding device, but no one cared... How strong could one person be, no matter how strong?

They have seven or eight guilds here, dozens of people; one spit from each of them could drown him.

Su Mu remained silent. He hugged Lin Yuwei tighter, summoned his spear from the void, and held it in his hand.

His expression was calm, but his eyes had turned cold, like the surface of a lake in winter, with a chilling coldness hidden beneath the ice that could shatter at any moment.

Lin Yuwei, consider this my way of repaying the favor I did you for the egg liquid.

The moment Zhang Peng saw Su Mu, his expression changed.

It wasn't the kind of change that was "somewhat unexpected," but a genuine, deep-seated fear.

Without a word, he turned and left without even looking back. His men were confused, but they followed him anyway. The other guild leaders found it strange... Zhang Peng, with his personality, never let go of anything he could grab, so why was he acting so cowardly today?

But they didn't think much of it; it was better if one less person shared the food.
