Following the specific location sent to him by Chen Qianli, Li Mu instantly teleported to the high sky above the desert.

He released his spiritual sense to investigate, and found himself in a boundless desert. Sure enough, he saw several tents in the core area of ​​the desert, which seemed to be a camp.

There were five people in the camp, one of whom was Wu Zhengkui, the battalion commander of the Juewu Battalion.

Li Mu had met Wu Zhengkui before at the bureau, so he recognized him immediately.

Wu Zhengkui was actually a weak cultivator, whose cultivation level had reached the mid-stage of the Martial Cultivation Qi Refining Realm.

However, this person never seemed to have the opportunity to enter the world of cultivation. He was a top-level figure in Bureau 749.

Of the five people, three were clearly seriously injured and lay in the tent on the verge of death.

However, Li Mu did not detect any mysterious creatures. Apart from the undulating sand dunes outside their camp, they found no living beings.

call out!

Li Mu moved swiftly and appeared directly in the camp.

When Wu Zhengkui and the others saw a figure suddenly appear, they were startled, but when they realized it was Li Mu, they were overjoyed.

Of course, once Li Mu returns to Bureau 749, he will definitely revert to his old self.

Otherwise, no one would recognize him.

"Hey! Li Mu! The bureau just messaged me saying you'd be coming to our aid, and I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly! You really are incredibly resourceful!"

Wu Zhengkui quickly came forward and said.

"Battalion Commander Wu, let me treat the wounded soldiers first. Please tell me what happened."

As Li Mu spoke, he walked directly to the wounded and began to treat their injuries.

These wounded soldiers were all seriously injured, with large and deep wounds, as if they had been torn apart by wild animals, and the wounds were also severely infected.

If he doesn't receive timely treatment, he probably won't survive.

However, as long as Li Mu infused a wisp of Returning Origin Spiritual Energy into their bodies, their terrible wounds began to heal at a visible speed, and their bodily functions quickly recovered.

"My God! Li Mu is a miracle worker! He can heal such a serious injury directly! This is absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life!" Wu Zhengkui exclaimed.

"Wow! This is simply a miracle! Everyone used to say Li Mu was a god, and I think it's absolutely true!"

Another member, around thirty years old, was also quite astonished by Li Mu's healing methods.

The three wounded soldiers were also extremely surprised and grateful to Li Mu.

"Battalion Commander Wu, what's that mysterious, unknown creature all about?"

Li Mu looked at Wu Zhengkui and asked.

"About a year ago, a mysterious creature suddenly appeared in this desert region, causing enormous harm to the people and animals in the area. According to incomplete statistics, the mysterious creature killed more than 1500 people and nearly 10,000 head of livestock such as cattle, sheep, and camels. Initially, local armed forces came to hunt down the mysterious creature, but almost the entire force was wiped out. This terrifying creature was impervious to swords and bullets, and could not be killed by artillery shells. Moreover, it was extremely fast, able to move rapidly not only on land but also in the sand, and could even fly high into the air to attack helicopters."

When Wu Zhengkui spoke of this mysterious creature, his eyes revealed an undisguised fear.

"What does that creature look like?" Li Mu asked.

Based on Battalion Commander Wu's description, Li Mu could basically determine that the creature was a demon beast, possibly a high-level spirit beast or even a demon beast.

It is indeed rare for monsters and beasts to appear in the mortal world.

Because the vast majority of demonic beasts in the cultivation world are in some wild and desolate training grounds, or in some other dimensions left over from ancient cultivation worlds.

Because animals that want to become sentient and develop intelligence, especially those that want to enter the realm of demon beasts, have very high requirements for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the mortal world is scarce, so it is already very rare for a low-level spiritual beast like a snowflake to be born.

Li Mu had just observed the terrain of the core area of ​​the desert and found that although it was desolate, the terrain was unique. It was surrounded by sand dunes that formed a depression, and several famous stars in the sky were directly opposite it. When the sun and moon passed by, they could form a situation where the sun and moon shone together. It could be considered a feng shui treasure land in this desert area.

Therefore, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this place is the most abundant in the entire desert region.

Li Mu thought that perhaps the unique feng shui here created a natural environment for the birth of monsters, but even so, it was still incredible that such monsters could be born.

"That terrifying creature wasn't very big, and it looked a bit like a pangolin. Its body could turn into a sphere, but because it moved so fast, it was hard to see with the naked eye. We captured its image using a high-definition camera."

Wu Zhengkui said.

"I think that thing was more like an armadillo, especially when it curled up into a ball. Its armor plates were incredibly hard; bullets couldn't penetrate them, not even leaving a mark!"

Another member added.

"Then why can't you leave here? Director Chen said you're trapped," Li Mu asked again.

"There were eight of us when we arrived in the area inhabited by the mysterious creature. Three of us were killed by it, and three others were seriously injured. We had no choice but to set up camp here. However, after we set up camp, we found that we couldn't get out of this area no matter what we did. Every time we went outward, we encountered a huge sandstorm. No matter what direction we went, we would encounter a sandstorm. We simply couldn't leave. We felt that the mysterious creature must have used some kind of sorcery."

Wu Zhengkui said.

"That creature only trapped you here and didn't rush in to attack you directly? Based on your description just now, if that creature had attacked proactively, you probably wouldn't have been able to defend yourself at all, right?"

Li Mu nodded slightly and then looked at Wu Zhengkui and the others, asking them a question.

"Yes, that's something that really puzzles us. That creature is incredibly ferocious, killing anyone it sees, but it hasn't shown itself since we set up camp. It just used sorcery to create sandstorms to trap us. By the way, Li Mu, that creature has another very peculiar characteristic: it likes to eat metal! The weapons and equipment of the local armed forces, even helicopters, were all eaten by that thing. After our members were killed by that creature, it would immediately steal the metal items from their bodies."

Wu Zhengkui said.

"Oh? You like to eat metal?" Li Mu found it strange.

"Yes, and that creature eats metal at an astonishing speed. I saw a rather blurry video earlier, and an armored vehicle was completely devoured by that not-so-large creature in just a few dozen seconds!"

One member said.

"Really? Such spirits are quite rare. Battalion Commander Wu, how about this, I'll take you all into one of my magical artifacts first. Then I'll deal with that creature, and once I'm done, I'll take you away."

Li Mu said.

"Alright! I've long heard of your extraordinary abilities, that you're a legendary immortal! Then we'll be counting on you!"

Wu Zhengkui and the other four exchanged glances, and seeing that no one had any objections, he nodded to Li Mu and said...

They were filled with nothing but fear of that mysterious creature; they had no courage left to fight it.

So, with a single wave of his hand, Li Mu collected everyone, along with their equipment and items, into his spatial magic treasure.

These people were all members of the 749 Bureau's Special Operations Battalion, who possessed supernatural abilities and knew about cultivators. For example, Wu Zhengkui had also come into contact with cultivators before, so Li Mu was not worried about scaring them.

After collecting the items, he left the camp and used his spiritual sense to search for any mysterious creatures that might be lurking around.
