Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 74 Give them a little shock!

Seeing that everyone had already reached the top of the tree man, Li Mu shouted,
"Hold on to the branches beside you tightly. The tree man will shake violently when he moves. Don't fall down!"

After hearing Li Mu's warning, the people behind him all grabbed the branches beside them, otherwise it would be embarrassing if they really fell down.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mu communicated with the tree man through his mind and gave the order to set off.

After receiving the order, the tree man moved his strong legs and began to move towards the West Lake Shelter according to Li Mu's instructions.

Although the war tree moves slowly and appears clumsy, its huge body is there, and its sturdy legs are more than ten meters long. With each step, it can move forward at least ten meters.

Moreover, with such a huge size, there is no need to consider the impact of the terrain. Whether it encounters snow or potholes, it can cross them with just one big step.

If we continue to move forward by alternating our legs every five seconds, we will reach the West Lake Shelter, 20 kilometers away, in less than an hour!

As the War Treeman continued to move forward, Yu Shuaikang turned to look at Li Mu and asked, "Is this the method you mentioned at breakfast?"

Li Mu looked ahead and replied with a smile, "Why, this method doesn't work?"

Yu Shuaikang shrugged, "Of course, it's just a little too high-profile." Then he joked, "Do you think the people in the West Lake Shelter will think we are going to attack them when they see our battle?"

Li Mu laughed, "We can't rule out this possibility. Although we are not going to attack them, we still have to intimidate them. Otherwise, they will think that we are weak and can be bullied in Wanling City with only 400 people!"

"I don't want to be treated as a soft persimmon, so I will bring a little shock to the West Lake Shelter, belonging to Wanling City!"

Yao Chengcheng couldn't help shaking his head when he heard what Li Mu said.

Although Li Mu is usually busy studying plants and rarely shows up in public, he is always gentle when communicating with others, and looks like a good guy.

But this is just the way Li Mu treats his own people. If danger approaches, he will show his edge without hesitation.

This was what happened when he was clearing out the mutant beasts near Wanling City. When he discovered that the number of mutant beasts was increasing and might threaten the safety of Wanling City, he immediately organized a hunting team to carry out the clearing plan.

Although he had to let the hunting team return to Wanling City early due to some changes, he traveled day and night and single-handedly killed all the threatening mutant beasts within a radius of twenty miles with the force of thunder!

Yao Chengcheng had long been accustomed to Li Mu's way of thinking: if others were friendly to him, he would be even friendlier; if someone had bad intentions, he would strike a fatal blow immediately.
Moreover, compared to hiding his strength and inviting temptation from others, Li Mu prefers to show his edge decisively at the right moment and eliminate some people's unnecessary covetousness as soon as possible.

The reason why Wanling City has been able to exist safely until now is not because of the few dozen low-level source warriors or the tall city walls, but because of Li Mu's strength that far exceeds that of others.

Li Mu is Wanling City’s biggest trump card.

Facing the biting cold wind, we passed through the snow-covered forest and crossed the frozen river.

Under the dim sunlight, seven o'clock arrived quietly, and Li Mu and others finally set foot on the land only 500 meters away from the West Lake Shelter.

At this time, the soldiers in the shelter stood on the 15-meter-high wall, looking at the huge monster in the distance, and rang the huge bell beside them without hesitation, shouting,

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

As the bells rang throughout the shelter, a large number of armed soldiers emerged on the city wall. They held their rifles horizontally, aiming at the huge figure moving forward in the distance, waiting for the commander to give orders.

Inside the shelter, more figures continued to rush towards the city wall, including many awakened ones and source warriors with considerable strength.

"Look, I was right. They really thought someone was attacking the shelter."

Yu Shuaikang nudged Li Mu beside him with his elbow and said with some pride.

"You are right, but now is not the time to joke around. If I don't explain, they will probably start attacking me."

While controlling the giant war tree to stop, Li Mu took out a morning glory seed from his pocket.

He quickly grew it, then held the handle at the back, raised it to his mouth, and shouted calmly,
"I'm Li Mu from Wanling City. We're here to pick someone up from the shelter."

The sound, which was not loud to begin with, was amplified by the morning glory and became as loud as a thunderous roar, which quickly reached the ears of the soldiers on the city wall.

After hearing Li Mu reveal his identity, the door of the shelter slowly opened from the inside, and then a man walked out and quickly ran towards the giant war tree.

When the man came to 300 meters in front of the giant war tree, Li Mu saw his face clearly. It was Tang Anguo, the battalion commander Tang, whom he had met many times.

After a few more breaths, Tang Anguo came to the foot of the giant war tree, raised his head, looked at Li Mu standing at the treetop, and said,
"Why did City Lord Li come so early?"

"And your attitude, isn't it too..."

Tang Anguo didn't finish his words, as if he didn't know what words to use to describe the momentum of Li Mu and others' trip.

"It's been a while since we last met. Captain Tang, how are you?"

Li Mu chuckled, said hello, and had no intention of continuing to explain.

"Haha, Old Tang, I'm doing fine recently. City Lord Li, please follow me."

Tang Anguo didn't think of being overly polite. After simply greeting him, he turned around and ran towards the shelter again.

Li Mu looked at Tang Anguo's moving figure and did not immediately order the giant war tree to move forward. Instead, he waited until he returned to the top of the city wall before conveying the idea of ​​continuing to move forward to the tree man under his feet.

In just a dozen steps, the tree man crossed a distance of 500 meters, came to the wall of the shelter, and slowly stopped.

Before, the giant war tree was five hundred meters away from the city wall. The guarding soldiers looked at it from afar and only vaguely felt that it was very huge.

But the specific appearance was not clear, and I thought it was some huge mutant beast, which sounded the alarm.

At this time, the giant war tree was right in front of them, and they could see clearly that it was actually a giant tree man that was thirty meters tall!
They were shocked. They had seen many huge mutant beasts, but even a fourth-level mutant beast was only a dozen meters long and four or five meters high. How could it compare to the giant war tree in front of them.

Moreover, the sense of oppression brought by tree people and mutant beasts is completely different. Compared with the animal shapes that humans are familiar with, humans will be more afraid of creatures that look similar to themselves, especially when the size of this creature is dozens of times larger than that of ordinary people!
