Chapter 24: If You Meet a Five-Meter-Tall Cow, Don't Panic; Just Give It a Slash First

The next day

Early in the morning, before the food shop's door, Jianghe and Yang Xue had already arrived.

Having tasted the charm of the food yesterday, naturally they would not miss it today.

But upon arrival, they saw the food shop's great door tightly closed.

A notice was pasted on the door.

Notice: I am out collecting ingredients; business suspended for three days!

Simple words directly left Yang Xue bewildered.

After carefully reading it twice, tears at the corner of her eyes, somewhat shamelessly, began to flow down.

Why, why treat her this way!

She just wanted to eat an egg fried rice and have a cup of cool boiled water; why was it so difficult!

Jianghe, standing aside, watched silently, yet could only pat her shoulder.

"Let's go; we can only come back after three days!"

Speaking those words, Jianghe immediately felt curious about the food three days later.

What kind of food would it be, that a deity personally went out to collect ingredients for?

He was quite curious.

Unfortunately, now that the beast tide is coming to the Nancheng Base, if he wants to come again, he can only do so after repelling the beast tide.

Already a day has been wasted, and now the food shop is closed.

They should also head to the Nancheng Base.

After comforting Yang Xue, the two headed toward the Nancheng Base.

Meanwhile, whether it was Zhang Sanfeng, Yue Buqun, Abbot Xuan Ci, and others.

In their minds, the notice of Su Mu going out to collect ingredients appeared.

At that moment, all of them felt a pang of regret.

Three days meant that for a very long time, they would not be able to eat the immortal's food.

In the jianghu world of Smiling Proud Wanderer

"This time the immortal went out to collect ingredients, which means new products must be coming!"

Looking at the text on the notice, Yue Buqun was the first to think of new products.

"No good, it seems I must first work hard to get money!"

Thinking of the price of the new products, and then thinking again of his current financial strength.

Yue Buqun's gaze once again focused on getting money.

On Mount Qingcheng, Yu Canghai, who had just delivered the remaining hundred thousand taels of silver, for some reason felt his body grow cold.

And what Yue Buqun could think of, Zhang Sanfeng, Abbot Xuan Ci, and others, thought of as well.

Unavoidably, the crowd began to look forward to it.

However, while they looked forward to it, Su Mu was still on the way there.

With a pig-slaying knife in hand, Su Mu traveled extremely smoothly.

It's just that the place marked by the System was a bit far.

He drove for half a day and had only covered a little more than half the distance!

Meanwhile, inside the Nancheng Base outside the city

"How is the reconnaissance going?"

Inside the base's high-level meeting room, the defensive forces of the Nancheng Base had gathered there at this moment.

At the head was Jing Chunan, the person in charge of the Nancheng Base.

"It has been fully investigated; this beast tide is led by a Mutation-stage Five-Colored Wagyu!"

The person responsible for investigating the situation reported this intelligence.

At that moment, the entire meeting room sucked in a breath of cold air.

Mutation-stage; this is equivalent to a Glorifier among humans.

After the Great Cataclysm, the continent underwent a massive transformation.

A biological evolution similar to the Cambrian Explosion swept over the continent once again.

And originally ordinary animals also turned into ferocious beasts.

Humans classified the ferocious beasts' strength into Infant Stage, Growth Stage, Mutation Stage, Metamorphosis Stage, Atavism Stage...

And humans themselves also obtained considerable power.

The three basic, unadvanced stages are called Apprentice, Guardian, and Glorifier!

They correspond to each other in terms of the ferocious beasts' strength.

But compared to the ferocious beasts, at the same tier, human power is slightly weaker.

"How can there be a Mutation-stage existence outside Tiansu City!"

Inside the meeting room, someone had already cried out in shock.

Outside the city, weren't human experts supposed to have cleared the area long ago?

Why has a Mutation-stage ferocious beast appeared outside Tiansu City?

Our Nancheng Base is merely a ground-based base; how can we resist!

"Enough, now is not the time to discuss this!"

Jing Chunan, sitting in the main seat, shouted sternly.

A Mutation-stage ferocious beast indeed should not appear.

But now is not the time to discuss this.

As the person in charge of the Nancheng Base, Jing Chunan's own strength was merely at the first tier of the Honored One!

Whether they could fight the Five-Colored Wagyu was something he had no confidence in at all.

But at this very moment, he could not retreat.

"Since we are responsible for guarding here, we cannot let Tianlu City come to harm!"

Slapping the conference table, Jing Chunan shouted loudly at this moment.

"Even if we have to fight to the death, we must fight until they arrive!"

Shouting at the crowd in the conference room, a suppressed atmosphere spread instantly.

Everyone in the field understood.

A Mutated Beast in the Mutation Period was not terrifying.

It was just that there were no powerful figures here capable of suppressing it.

The situation has been reported; as long as they hold them off, reinforcements will arrive soon.

Inside the Nancheng Base, everyone faced death without fear and anxiously began their preparations.

And at this very moment, Su Mu had also arrived within the range of his destination.

"Roar... roar... roar..."

Outside the forest, hearing the roars coming from within the woods, Su Mu stopped his vehicle.

Those angry roars, in Su Mu's ears, sounded like a young calf crying softly.

"This is the place!"

Getting out of the car and picking up his pig-slaughtering knife, Su Mu confirmed the location given by the System.

Finding he had not gone to the wrong place, Su Mu stepped directly into the woods.

And just as Su Mu arrived, within the surrounding jungle, beast after beast was now terrifyingly crouched on the ground, trembling.

Even some weak beasts were directly scared to death by the aura emanating from Su Mu.

At the core of the beast tide at this moment, the Five-Colored Wagyu was howling.

As one at the peak of the Mutation Period, he had sensed danger the moment Su Mu approached.

That sense of danger, as if coming from his soul and bloodline, swept over his entire body.

At this very moment, that invisible pressure made him unable to even cry out in agony; he could only crawl onto the ground in fear, trembling.

The Five-Colored Wagyu, originally so majestic, had its cow eyes wide open, looking at the forest before it in terror.

It could feel that extremely dense sense of death was approaching step by step.

Those beasts that had originally crawled on Su Mu's path had long since run away in fear.

Leaving only an empty road for Su Mu to walk along.

"This is truly strange; the sounds were still here before!"

Walking along, hearing the howling sounds in his ears grow quieter and quieter, Su Mu couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt.

As a result, just as he stepped out of the forest and arrived at an open clearing, Su Mu froze.

Before him, a two-meter-tall giant Wagyu was lying right in front of him.

Its five-colored fur shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

With just one glance, Su Mu recognized the opponent.

It was precisely the target of this trip.

He had seen all kinds of creatures in the training space of the System.

For one of this slightly larger size, Su Mu was not the least bit intimidated.

When encountering a five-meter-tall cow, do not panic first; give it a slash first!
