"The clan elder is dead, and I'm free."
Chen Mu remained silent. If Wei-ah didn't want to say anything, there was nothing he could do.
Moreover, he didn't think Wei-ah had any reason to explain himself.
The youth's face was deathly pale, but his expression suddenly darkened. His facial muscles twisted as he said through gritted teeth, "It was Fanny!" The expression in the youth's eyes flickered, but it was clear that he was furious.
Wei-ah didn't say a word. Only the sound of him stepping on dead branches could be heard.
Wei-ah didn't say anything as he headed northeast.
Wei-ah had an accurate sense of direction in the forest that Chen Mu envied. Most of the time, he was more accurate than the instruments on the flying devices, so Wei-ah was always leading the way.
As they got closer, the cries for help became clearer, and Chen Mu could faintly hear the roars of a few wild beasts.
"Greenwood incense, ridgepole, cinnamon leaf, and fishtail vine." Wei-ah accurately reported the plants in the sachet.
Strange whistling sounds lingered, and in a flash, the eight Sisnian wolves were all dead.
Chen Mu stopped with satisfaction. He had been practicing with the tailless shuttle card for some time, and he could accurately hit the fast Sisnian wolves. Moreover, his firing frequency had increased by 15 percent compared to before. That kind of progress made him quite satisfied.
He could also tell from the bodyguard's performance along the way that he was quite experienced, which was very rare for a purely defensive card artisan who specialized in energy cloaks.
"You should be glad that you didn't attract the golden-striped snake or the brown-ringed green python. This sachet is equally effective against them." Chen Mu's words made the blood drain from the master and servant's faces.
The golden-striped snake was extremely venomous. It came and went like lightning, and it was hard to detect.
The brown-ringed green python's body was huge, and its strength was so great that it could crush rocks.
Compared to those two kinds of terrifying beasts, the Sisnian wolves could only be considered minor characters.
A middle-aged man and a young man were surrounded by eight Sisnian Wolves.
The Sisnian wolves weren't powerful beasts, but they often appeared in packs and were naturally cunning. Plus, they were good at running, and they came and went like the wind, which was a real headache.
Their speed was outstanding, as fast as lightning. Their short-range surprise attacks were impossible to defend against, and even card artisans were a headache.
"Sir, what do you want to do?" The bodyguard, who was already very nervous, immediately released his energy shield.
The eyes of the youth, who was paralyzed on the ground, were in a daze. He had not recovered yet.
The youth had already regained his composure, and nothing could be seen on his face. He said to Chen Mu with a slight smile, "Many thanks for your help. I am Cleo Levin." He gracefully bowed to Chen Mu.
That bodyguard was clearly that type of card artisan.
The eight Sylvanian wolves attacked the energy barrier one after another, but the barrier did not budge.
"Looks like we're almost out of the jungle.
There are fewer traces left by wild beasts in that direction. "Under the influence of the Moqi villagers, Chen Mu had become half an expert in the jungle.
Just as Chen Mu was considering whether to change the subject, Wei-ah suddenly said, "I want to get my memories back."
Cleo was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mister Cao!
Thank you, Mr. Cao! "
Chen Mu's tailless shuttle didn't miss any of the wild beasts they encountered along the way, and Crew became more and more enthusiastic.
But Chen Mu remained unmoved from beginning to end, and Cleo didn't take it to heart, continuing to talk and laugh as he pleased.
Chen Mu succinctly said, "Cao Dong."
He didn't dare use the name Chen Mu. He still didn't know where he was, and the Eastern Ning's were certainly still looking for his whereabouts.
The bodyguard knew better than to ask. The young master's family matters weren't for a little bodyguard like him to worry about.
He looked at the time and frowned. "Why isn't Lisbon here yet?" Based on the time, Lisbon should have brought his men over a long time ago.
Wei-ah was as slow as a stone, and Chen Mu didn't bother to introduce him.
Crew took a few glances at Wei-ah before withdrawing his gaze. He put on a smiling face and said, "Mr. Cao's moves are extraordinary. You took the lives of these Sinian wolves while talking and laughing. It's an eye-opener for me."
He keenly realized that Chen Mu was indifferent to such half-flattery, so he immediately changed his strategy and said frankly, "I wonder if I could entrust Mr. Cao and Mr. Cao to escort us back to the city?
If you need anything in return, please don't hesitate to mention it. "
He didn't expect those Sylvanian wolves, who weren't known for their strength, to be so powerful. They took turns to attack his energy cloak as if they didn't care about their lives, which made him secretly complain.
Chen Mu shook his head. He wasn't satisfied with Wei-ah's explanation. "The clan elder might not be dead."
Although the clan elder had left the village after them, and they still didn't have any information related to him, the Moqi clansmen still held on to a sliver of hope in their hearts.
Chen Mu only felt that since that old man was so shrewd and ruthless, it wasn't impossible for him to be alive.
Chen Mu could roughly guess in his heart, but he didn't have any sympathy for him.
He believed that the youth was certainly not a good person.
If it were another time, the youth would surely have done the same thing as long as the need arose.
That was the characteristic of the sons of aristocratic families.
"Young master, your sachet …" the bodyguard asked with a trembling voice.
Although he was curious about Wei-ah's past, Chen Mu still chose to change the topic.
The bodyguard guessed correctly. Chen Mu had originally planned to save them.
He could tell that the youth's identity was either rich or respectable. When the youth reported his name, he couldn't help but frown.
He didn't have a good impression of these sons of rich families.
A trace of disgust arose in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
There must be something up ahead!
"Help!
Help! "The youth saw the hope of survival and immediately shouted excitedly.
Death almost made the youth collapse. It was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He said incoherently, "Please, save us!
My father is the president of the Narnia Group. As long as you can save us, we will surely repay you handsomely! "
The blue energy cloak was like a transparent blue crystal, sparkling and translucent.
The eyes of the youth, who was protected in the middle-aged man's arms, were full of fear.
The youth's skin was fair, and he looked like a pampered young master at a glance. The middle-aged man should be a bodyguard or something like that.
The youth, who had returned from the brink of death, slumped to the ground like mud. However, his bodyguard looked at Chen Mu with caution.
It wasn't that he was hostile toward Chen Mu, but it was a professional habit.
"Why are you following me, Wei-ah?" Chen Mu had always been puzzled by Wei-ah's attitude toward him.
It was as if Wei-ah had looked at him differently from the beginning, and it was even more so after that.
When they had run into the white-spotted mosquito, he had even become one of the two people Wei-ah had prioritized saving.
And when Chen Mu decided to leave the jungle, Wei-ah decided to leave with him.
The flying vehicle could indeed travel through the gummy cloud layer, but there were still some flaws in its design.
Because of the friction with the gummy cloud layer, it had finally overheated. Although Chen Mu had thought of all the ways, it had already reached its limit.
But what made Chen Mu feel fortunate was that it was already the fifth day.
After flying at high speed for five days straight, what more could be demanded of such a flying vehicle made of metal?
Even the shuttle cars of the Heavenly Federation could only end up trapped in the gummy cloud and unable to move.
Wei-ah also came out, and his appearance startled the two people who had just been rescued.
But when they realized that Wei-ah was Chen Mu's companion, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Mu immediately stopped talking and looked at Wei-ah. He quickly activated the big mud fish card in his apparatus and floated into the air.
Looking around, he saw that Wei-ah had long since disappeared.
Chen Mu secretly praised Wei-ah for his quick movements. Unwilling to fall behind, he manipulated the jet stream card to carefully and quickly fly toward the scene of the incident.
The youth and the bodyguard looked at the two of them blankly.
Chen Mu glanced at them and said, "The scent emitted by greenwood incense is what the Sinian wolf likes the most.
When the thorns, the leaves, and the fish tail vine are mixed together, the gas produced can make the Sinian wolf fall into a state of frenzied bloodlust. "
Although he couldn't smell it like Wei-ah and distinguish what was in it, Chen Mu still knew the basic principles.
Without hesitation, Chen Mu sped up and went straight ahead.
If he had been alone, he would never have dared to be so bold. But with Wei-ah by his side, he didn't need to worry about safety.
He had seen Wei-ah's glorious battle record against wild beasts.
Even the black-steel sickle-blade bug they had encountered last time, even without him, Wei-ah wouldn't have been able to kill the big bug, and the big bug wouldn't have been able to do anything to Wei-ah.
"The city should be in the northeast." Just before the flying device crashed, Chen Mu could vaguely see the city in the distance.
Although it was still far away, with a super bodyguard like Wei-ah, there was no need to worry about safety.
Wei-ah still had the same indifferent expression on his face that hadn't changed in 10,000 years.
Moreover, they were already close to the edge of the jungle, and the possibility of any powerful wild beasts appearing wasn't high.
There were very few card artisans who specialized in energy cloaks. That type of card artisan was an extreme defensive card artisan, and their battle value was almost zero.
Their line of work was also very simple, and most of them were missions like protecting important people.
Some of the big clans would specially train some of those card artisans, and a few security companies also had such card artisans, but they were very few in number.
"Lisbon!" The youth suddenly laughed coldly, his eyes extremely cold.
The bodyguard's heart trembled, and he immediately shut his mouth.
Following closely behind Wei-ah, Chen Mu didn't dare to slack off.
Without Wei-ah, relying solely on his half-baked card artisan skills, the only thing he could choose in the jungle would be whether or not there would be dregs left over from his bones.
Wei-ah didn't say anything, and Chen Mu didn't mind. He said directly, "I don't know what city is up ahead.
Ai, but we've finally returned to the world! "
Life in the jungle was actually a pretty good memory for Chen Mu, but he had grown up in the federation and was more used to life in the federation.
What Chen Mu said made the youth and the bodyguard's expressions change.
Chen Mu deliberately lagged behind, and the bodyguard very naturally took on the responsibility of leading the way.
He urgently needed information just then, and he needed them to take him and Wei-ah into the city, so he could only suppress his unhappiness for the time being.
Along the way, Cleo was incomparably warm to Chen Mu, and he kept probing him with his words. Chen Mu treated his words like gold, only responding once after a long time. Later, he simply kept his mouth shut.
And Wei-ah didn't respond once from start to finish.
The middle-aged man was a card artisan, and the energy cloak he had put up protected the youth within it.
He threw the sachet at Chen Mu's feet, and Chen Mu bent over to pick it up, handing it to Wei-ah.
Wei-ah didn't seem to use much strength, but he easily tore the sachet open and sniffed it.
The bodyguard also showed an expression of relief. He was a lot more experienced than the youth, and for his counterpart to come out at that time meant he had the intention of saving them.
Chen Mu was taken aback. "Find back his memory?" He had also heard about Wei-ah's memory loss, but he had never thought about it in that direction.
Pondering over the meaning of Wei-ah's words, Chen Mu didn't know why, but a sense of shame welled up in his heart. Even Wei-ah's back seemed to be faintly showing some desolation.
Chen Mu thought about it and nodded. "OK, I'll take this commission.
As for the reward, you can give it as you see fit. "
Following Chen Mu's finger, the bodyguard's gaze fell on a sachet tied around the youth's waist.
The youth's reaction was fast as he gradually came back to his senses. His expression changed, and he said in a slightly trembling voice, "You, you mean …"
He suddenly caught a glimpse of the bodyguard's energy cloak out of the corner of his eye, and Chen Mu knew the bodyguard wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.
Chen Mu thought about it and said softly to Wei-ah, "I'll go say hello to them." After saying that, Chen Mu rushed out.
Chen Mu also needed someone who knew the local situation to lead the way, so he took advantage of the situation to accept the commission.
With Crew, his and Wei-ah's identities and so on would naturally be easily resolved.
With the two of them leading the way, they wouldn't have to expend any effort to find the way back to the city.
He suddenly screamed and tore at the sachet like crazy. Then, as though it had burned his hand, he threw it far away.
Suddenly, Wei-ah stopped in his tracks, and his gaze fell forward as though he wanted to see through the layers of forest.
Wei-ah's behavior immediately raised Chen Mu's vigilance.
Chen Mu had always found it inconceivable that Wei-ah's vigilance was so acute, but it had been proven countless times that Wei-ah was always right.
That made Chen Mu look at him in a new light. Most of those kids from rich families were arrogant and hard to get close to.
Although he knew his counterpart was only making such a gesture because he had something to ask of him, it wasn't easy for him to be able to act so freely.
The bodyguard didn't have any good ideas. The eyes of the Sinian wolves were all red, and they were smashing into his energy cloak as though they didn't care for their lives. His perception and the energy in his energy card were being depleted at an alarming rate.
At that rate, he wasn't sure he could hold out until reinforcements arrived.
Chen Mu pointed at the sachet tied to the youth's body and calmly said, "If you don't want to die, you'd better throw it away."
Chen Mu's sudden appearance made the two of them, who were in desperate straits, overjoyed!
Suddenly, Chen Mu walked over to the youth.
Just then, Chen Mu heard Wei-ah's extremely low voice. "The two of them have medicinal bait on them." Without knowing when, Wei-ah had quietly snuck up beside Chen Mu.
Chen Mu was startled. Medicinal bait was a special term in the village, which referred to some kind of medicine that could attract wild beasts.
The last time Li Duhong had attracted the brilliant apes, he had used medicinal bait.
Not wanting to talk nonsense with them, Chen Mu raised his hand.
"Young master, we can't go on like this," the bodyguard said anxiously.
The bodyguard said anxiously. Although his energy shield could still last for a while, there would be a moment when the energy would be depleted.
Those cunning Sinian wolves wouldn't give him time to replace his power card.
The energy cloak that the bodyguard had released was thick and condensed, as though it were real, which showed how profound his attainments in that regard were.
Even the energy cloaks that Bo Wen and Cheng Ying had released couldn't reach that level.
Chen Mu's eyes lit up. It was the first time he had seen a card artisan who could use an energy cloak to such perfection.
Generally speaking, an energy cloak could only protect the card artisan himself and couldn't protect his companions.
Chen Mu surmised that this card artisan must be a card artisan who specialized in energy cloaks.
"It can't be used anymore," Wei-ah said expressionlessly as he looked at the burning flying device at his feet.
Chen Mu didn't make a move right away but watched carefully from the side.
He was a little puzzled. The Sinian wolves were very cunning animals, and the scene in front of him had overturned Chen Mu's impression of them.
They were like bison, running, soaring, and crashing. That kind of barbaric method was completely different from their fighting style.
The foreheads of each Sinian wolf were dark red, oozing blood, which was a shocking sight to behold.
Their eyes were scarlet, wild, and bloodthirsty.
Suddenly, there was a faint cry in front of them.
"Then … then what do we do?" The young master's face was drained of blood, and his lips were trembling.
The other servant, Lisbon, had already gone to get help, but he still hadn't returned.
Their communications cards had no way of getting in touch with their families.
