The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 299 Li Qinghua's Choice
"Thank you, thank you."

"Thank you for saving us, benefactors of Yangshan Shelter."

"We kowtow to you, woo woo ..."

……

The survivors of Konka Garden on the deck kept kowtow to Liang Yuan and his group.

Zhao Kai, Kong Sheng and others hurried to help them.

Liang Yuan said, "Everyone, please stand up. We have the rules of Yangshan Shelter. Kneeling down to others is not allowed. Everyone, please stand up."

"Don't worry, everyone. If you are injured, someone will come to treat you when we get to Yangshan."

"Zhao Kai, when the boat reaches the floating bridge, you and Ding Yan will meet and settle these people."

Zhao Kai quickly asked: "Brother Liang, where are these people going to be settled?"

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's stay in Meishan and live near Yunquan Temple."

"It just so happens that Yunquan Temple is in need of manpower. They don't have many points after going to Yangshan. I will give them some tasks in Meishan to help them earn some points."

Zhao Kai nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Liang."

Liang Yuan nodded, then waved to Li Yuejin.

Li Yuejin immediately ran over and said, "Mr. Liang."

"How's that, did that atomized mutant escape?"

Li Yuejin nodded immediately: "I can sense that the spiritual imprint is moving away from us quickly."

"Which direction did it go?"

"Over there at Lingyunpo."

Liang Yuan smiled when he heard this and said, "You're not stupid."

Li Yuejin laughed and said, "Now everyone knows that it is not safe in the water. If you stay in the water, you will die. Only by going to the mountains can you have a chance to survive."

Liang Yuan said: "Although there is also a flood blocking the Despair Slope and Yangshan Mountain, it is not difficult for people with special abilities to cross the flood between the two mountains."

"Keeping them around is always a threat."

Li Yuejin immediately said, "I'll go prepare the boat."

Liang Yuan nodded. Raft No. 1 was destroyed, and he left rafts No. 2 and No. 3 on the floating bridge.

If it were him alone, he could just walk on the water, but it would be a bit troublesome if he had to bring Li Yuejin with him.

So it is more convenient to take a boat.

After a while, Li Yuejin came back, but he was not prepared to wear clothes. Instead, he brought Huang Han with him.

Li Yuejin smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, Captain Huang Han said she can take us there."

Liang Yuan looked at Huang Han and said with a smile, "You just experienced a big battle, does the Golden Python want to rest?"

Huang Han smiled and said, "No need, I train it every day. It swims 30 kilometers in the flood every day before I allow it to go ashore."

"The intensity of the battle just now is nothing to it."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that no one was slacking off.

Even Huang Han, who has the ability to tam beasts, has been silently training his pet.

"Let's go then."

Huang Han nodded, and immediately ran to the side of the boat. Then he stretched out his hand, and a golden rope flew out from his sleeve.

As the golden rope entered the water, it immediately grew in size and in the blink of an eye it turned into a giant python more than ten meters long.

Huang Han leaped up and landed on the python's head. The scales on the top of the golden python's head opened up and wrapped around Huang Han, forming an area like a driving position.

Liang Yuan laughed, and took Li Yuejin with him, and jumped easily onto the back of the golden python.

The golden python immediately spread its scales and wrapped Liang Yuan and Li Yuejin in the same way.

Li Yuejin shouted, "Captain Huang Han, head towards Lingyunpo."

Huang Han nodded and patted the golden python's head gently.

The golden python immediately twisted its body, broke through the waves, and swam quickly towards Lingyunpo.

……

At the riverside of Lingyunpo, a ball of water emerged from the bottom of the water with a whoosh.

Immediately afterwards, all the water on the surface of the water ball slid down, revealing a space sphere.

There are two people in the sphere, a man and a woman.

The man was Li Qinghua and the woman was Lin Wan.

Li Qinghua waved his hand, and the space bubble disappeared. His face turned pale, obviously due to excessive consumption of supernatural powers.

The distance from Meishan to Lingyunpo is not short. Even if he can take advantage of the overlapping space and cross more than ten or twenty meters in one step, he will still have to run for more than ten minutes to arrive.

Li Qinghua is really exhausted now.

Lin Wan supported him and asked quickly, "Qinghua, are you okay?"

Li Qinghua waved his hands, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm just a little exhausted. We can't stop here. It's too conspicuous. Let's go to the woods and find a place. I'll take a rest and relax."

Lin Wan nodded quickly, supported Li Qinghua, and went into the woods.

After finding a secluded place, he rested breathlessly.

Lin Wan said: "I'll go get some food."

Li Qinghua held her back and said, "No, there may be many mutant beasts on this mountain. We can't walk around randomly."

"But you..."

"I'll just take a break. Sister Wan, what's going on in Meishan?"

Li Qinghua looked at Lin Wan and asked solemnly.

"What happened on Meishan Mountain? Why did you light the Gaosheng firecrackers?"

Lin Wan sighed and said, "If I don't light the Gaosheng firecrackers, Mr. Liang will probably sneak attack you and succeed."

Li Qinghua's eyes fixed, and he asked, "Mr. Liang? Is his last name Liang?"

Lin Wan nodded and said, "Yes, he is the leader of the Yangshan Shelter. Not only Yangshan, but also Meishan is under his control. This time when I was in Meishan, I saw with my own eyes that everyone in Meishan is his people."

"At that time, Lao Zhou and I stopped the little girl. In order to obtain more useful information, I asked Lao Zhou to take the little girl back first, and I stayed there to continue investigating the situation of Yangshan Shelter."

"Unexpectedly, someone from Yangshan came to report that several young men witnessed Feng Lei and his men taking Tu Long away and saw the Flamingo."

"I don't know how Mr. Liang knew the exact location of the Flamingo, but he had already set out with a group of experts. I could only fire the cannon immediately to warn you so that you wouldn't be caught off guard."

Lin Wan smiled bitterly: "But I didn't expect that person to be so scary..."

Li Qinghua also fell silent, his face looking grim.

Yes, Sister Wan had already informed them in advance to prepare for battle. However, even in this situation, all the psychics on the Flamingo were crushed at the first sight of that person.

What he didn't expect was that the man had actually become the leader of Yangshan and was so powerful.

I have been working hard to hone my spatial abilities and figure out various methods for more than two months. However, when I met this person, I was vulnerable and was beaten like a stray dog.

If Lao Zhou hadn't risked his life to stop him, it's hard to say whether he could have escaped the other party's pursuit.

When he thought of this, his face turned pale and he felt despair.

Recalling that man's methods, the terrifying mental attacks, the explosive fire skills, the extreme speed, the top water-attribute defense skills, and that terrifying strange strength.

No matter how hard Li Qinghua racked his brains, he couldn't figure out why one person could have so many superpowers!

"Qinghua, what should we do now? I don't know what happened to Old Zhou." Sister Wan hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

Li Qinghua's face was gloomy, and he said, "I'm afraid that Lao Zhou is in great danger this time. That man is ruthless and too strong. It's unlikely that Lao Zhou can escape."

Sister Wan couldn't help but ask: "What should we do then?"

Li Qinghua took a deep breath and said, "He and I have already agreed that if anything unexpected happens, we will meet at Lingyun Slope."

"Let's take a break for now. As long as Lao Zhou is not dead, I have a way to save him."

Sister Wan quickly asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"One life for another!" Li Qinghua showed a cold look.

Sister Wan didn't understand: "One life for another?"

"Well, after I recover, you can find a way to sneak into Yangshan and find out if there is anyone that Liang values ​​very much. Then I will personally capture that person."

"As long as Lao Zhou is alive, we will use that man to exchange for Lao Zhou."

Hearing this, Lin Wan couldn't help but say, "That's a good idea. Then you take a rest. I'll go find some water nearby."

"Don't go too far. There must be mutant beasts on Lingyun Slope."

"I know, don't worry, I'm around here."

Li Qinghua nodded slightly and let Lin Wan leave.

Lin Wan followed the woods, looking for a clean water source, and thought to herself: "The woods may be dangerous, the riverside should be safer, I'll go get two mutant fish to fill my stomach."

Li Qinghua has consumed too much of his supernatural power now and needs to take supplements to speed up his recovery.

Eating red meat is actually the best way to replenish superpowers, but the mountains and forests are dangerous, so we can only eat fish.

She came to the river cautiously. Just in case, she changed her appearance and appeared in the river to catch fish.

If the Liang gang chased after her, she would have a chance to escape if she changed her appearance and the other party couldn't recognize her.

Lingyunpo is indeed a sparsely populated place. Even since the great flood, no one has taken the initiative to seek refuge in Lingyunpo.

She came to the river and looked for mutant fish in the puddles of water surrounded by flooded grass.

At this moment, a person was seen floating on the water with the waves.

Lin Wan's heart skipped a beat and she quickly hid among the water plants. She looked at the man carefully and exclaimed, "Old Zhou!"

Lin Wan couldn't believe it and quickly swam over into the water.

Soon she swam to the man and took a closer look. It was indeed Lao Zhou!

But at this moment, Old Zhou had become so thin that he looked unrecognizable, just skin and bones.

She suddenly became very anxious and quickly pulled Lao Zhou ashore. Then, without even bothering to find something to eat, she carried Lao Zhou on her back and hurried to find Li Qinghua.

Soon, she came running back, shouting anxiously, "Tsinghua! Qinghua! I found Lao Zhou, come and have a look."

Li Qinghua, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, heard this and hurriedly stood up with the help of a big tree. He looked at Zhou Qingming on Lin Wan's back in surprise and suspicion.

Seeing Zhou Qingming's appearance clearly, he was immediately shocked and asked, "Is it really Old Zhou?"

He immediately stepped forward to help, and the two of them worked together to put Zhou Qingming on the ground.

Lin Wan quickly asked, "What happened to Lao Zhou?"

Li Qinghua said: "He was injured when he was in the mist state. If he loses too much blood mist in that state, it will actually consume his blood essence."

"Now what?"

"He needs to rest and take some supplements. He needs to eat meat." Li Qinghua said.

Lin Wan immediately stood up and said, "I'll go find it!"

Li Qinghua said quickly: "No, you stay, I'll go get the meat, this forest is not safe, you stay here and take care of him."

Lin Wan couldn't help but ask, "Have you recovered?"

"It's okay. I've recovered a little. It's no problem to catch two mutant beasts."

He got up and walked into the woods. In less than five minutes, he came back with a pheasant in his hand.

Lin Wan was immediately surprised and asked, "So fast?"

Li Qinghua said solemnly, "There are more mutant beasts in Lingyun Slope than I could imagine. I went in a little bit and found quite a few of them."

"It's a good thing that there are mutant beasts. It means there are not many people here. I'll go deal with the pheasant."

Lin Wan took the bulky pheasant. It was obvious that this was a mutated pheasant, and its size was much larger than the pheasant before the flood.

She deftly plucked the feathers and gutted the mutant pheasant, quickly finishing it off, then quickly lit a fire and started grilling it.

Soon the mutant pheasant was cooked, and she quickly pulled off two chicken legs and handed them to Li Qinghua.

Li Qinghua took a chicken leg, pushed the other one back, and said, "You eat too."

"Qinghua, eat. You are the most capable person here. Only if you recover first will we have a chance to survive." Sister Wan advised.

Li Qinghua thought about it and said, "Then leave this chicken leg to Lao Zhou. He needs more nourishment."

"I'll have some chicken wings."

The two of them started eating quickly. After eating half a chicken, Li Qinghua's face looked much better.

At this time, Old Zhou also woke up. Seeing Li Qinghua and Lin Wan, his nervous expression suddenly relaxed and he said with difficulty: "Why am I here?"

Lin Wan immediately said: "I found you by the river. How are you injured?"

As she spoke, she handed over two chicken legs.

Old Zhou was not pretentious. He grabbed a chicken leg and started to gobble it up.

His ability is atomization, which is closely related to essence and blood.

After being injured, the best way is to eat and nourish the body.

After eating the chicken leg whole, his sallow complexion looked better.

Lin Wan simply handed him the remaining mutant pheasants.

Zhou Qingming didn't hesitate. While eating, he said, "I'm fine. I just lost too much blood and essence. That person was too powerful. The fire almost burned my blood mist dry."

Li Qinghua frowned and asked, "Old Zhou, how did you escape?"

Zhou Qingming swallowed a lump of flesh and said, "They were also foolish. They actually tied my hands and feet and sank me to the bottom of the river to feed the fish."

"They forgot that I can turn my body into mist. How can these ropes tie me up?"

"I sank to the bottom of the river and immediately activated my supernatural powers. The blood mist flew on the water for a long time. When I was about to reach Lingyun Slope, I was completely out of strength. My supernatural powers were exhausted and I fainted."

"I thought my life was over, but I didn't expect to see you again."

As he said this, he began to wolf down the last piece of chicken butt.

Lin Wan couldn't help but feel lucky: "That's really good luck."

Li Qinghua's expression suddenly changed and he stood up abruptly: "No, that's not right!"

They were both startled and quickly looked up at him.

Sister Wan asked, "Qinghua, what's wrong with you?"

Li Qinghua said quickly: "No, this is not right. Liang saw with his own eyes that you, Old Zhou, could turn your body into mist. Even if he really wanted to sink you to the bottom of the river to feed the fish, he should never throw you into the river while you were still conscious!"

"He can't be that stupid, this isn't right!"

Zhou Qingming's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Then why did he let me go?"

Sister Wan also stood up suddenly, her face changed drastically and she said, "Oh no, Old Zhou has been fooled!"

Li Qinghua was also awakened immediately and said, "He deliberately let Lao Zhou go and let Lao Zhou join us! His target is us!"

Zhou Qingming's face suddenly changed. He didn't care about the chicken in his mouth. He immediately stood up weakly and said, "Quick, hurry up and leave here!"

Sister Wan said quickly, "It's not certain yet. Lingyun Slope is so big. Even if he knows we are hiding here, he may not be able to find us, right? Tsinghua?"

Li Qinghua's thoughts were churning, and he suddenly remembered something. He immediately said, "No, he must have a way to find us!"

"What?" Sister Wan's face changed and she asked in surprise.

Li Qinghua said quickly: "He must have the ability to find people, otherwise why was he able to confirm the location of the Flamingo in the first place?"

This sentence made Sister Wan's face immediately look ugly.

Zhou Qingming was so regretful that his intestines turned green. He said without hesitation: "You should run away from me immediately. Even if he has the ability to find someone, he should only be looking for me. Otherwise, he would not have used me to find you."

Having said that, he turned around and ran into the woods.

Sister Wan wanted to say something, but Li Qinghua grabbed her and said, "Old Zhou is right. We must separate from him. Let's go!"

As he said that, he was about to pull Sister Wan away.

But just as he was about to move, he suddenly realized something and looked up at the sky.

But then I saw a figure coming from the air.

His pupils shrank immediately, and he shouted, "Go!"

Li Qinghua pulled Lin Wan hard, but the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

Lin Wan instantly bent his wrist and twisted it behind his back.

At the same time, he kicked his knee with his right leg, and Li Qinghua fell to his knees uncontrollably.

Lin Wan held a dagger in her other hand and pressed it directly against his neck.

Li Qinghua looked up in disbelief and looked at Lin Wan behind him.

"Sister Wan, you——"

Upon seeing this, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Sister Wan's eyes were red and she was about to cry, but there was no expression on her face, and all her actions were completely inconsistent with the emotions conveyed by her eyes.

Li Qinghua immediately understood that Sister Wan was under control!

He immediately turned his head to look at the man who was walking in the air, his expression extremely ugly.

"Mr. Liang, what did you do?"

Liang Yuan flew in from the sky, landed gracefully, and said with a smile: "I said, I will never let you escape this time." Li Qinghua gritted his teeth and said: "You win, I admit defeat, if you want to kill me, do it freely, don't embarrass my companions."

Liang Yuan was surprised and asked, "At this point, do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me?"

"If I want to kill, why don't you kill them together? Leave your companions behind and look for a chance to take revenge on me?"

Li Qinghua was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, Zhou Qingming, who had already run far away, turned his head and saw this scene, and his face suddenly turned pale.

He stopped running and turned to Liang Yuan, shouting, "I'm going to fight you! I'm going to fight you!"

While running wildly, he tried his best, his body turned into mist, and he rushed towards Liang Yuan desperately.

Liang Yuan chuckled and shook his head slightly: "If you come any closer, I will kill this space ability user first."

The blood mist suddenly rolled violently, and the figure hurriedly stopped and gathered into the appearance of Zhou Qingming again.

He panted, stared at Liang Yuan, and then looked at Li Qinghua's neck.

Zhou Qingming's eyes were red as he said, "I'm sorry... Qinghua, Sister Wan, it's all my fault. It was me who... brought him here..."

Li Qinghua sighed and said to Zhou Qingming: "Old Zhou, I don't blame you."

He turned to look at Liang Yuan and asked, "What do you want?"

Liang Yuan laughed: "Oh, what do you think I can get from you?"

Li Qinghua raised his head, looked at Liang Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "You didn't kill me immediately, which means I am useful to you, right?"

"What do you want from me?"

Liang Yuan couldn't help but clap his hands and said with a smile: "You are indeed very smart. To be honest, I have rarely seen people with space abilities, so I didn't kill you right away. I wanted to have a good chat with you."

Li Qinghua asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Hehe, before we start chatting, shouldn't I introduce myself?"

"Didn't you introduce yourself?"

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "That's right. Let me introduce myself. My last name is Liang, and my given name is Yuan. Everyone calls me Mr. Liang."

"Oh, I guess you've heard that I'm still the leader of the Yangshan Shelter. By the way, Meishan is now under my control."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Qinghua.

Li Qinghua took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Li Qinghua, as you can see, I am a space mutant. I originally lived in Lishui Garden. After the flood, terrible mutants appeared in Lishui Garden. I survived the awakening crisis by chance and became a space mutant. I also met Lao Zhou and Sister Wan."

"We worked together to kill the mutant in the building and rescued some people."

“But then we had some arguments with those people over food and we ended up chasing them away.”

"After the food ran out, we planned to go out to find something to eat, and unexpectedly discovered an island in the flood outside."

"That island is the one you landed on before. I knew that the island was abnormal, so I kept observing it for a while. When I saw you passing by, I hid my body and followed you."

"I want to wait for you to explore the island, and then follow you to see if we can find any mutant fruits or something like that."

"You know what happened next. After you beat me up, we returned to Lishui Garden. After resting for a while, we met the people on the Flamingo."

"Brother Huo saw that I had a special ability to preserve food, so he invited me to join them. Since then, we have been following his Flamingo until now."

Li Qinghua briefly and concisely recounted his experiences over the past six months, which could be said to be quite frank.

There is nothing that can be done about it, his life is still in the other party's hands.

After listening to this, Liang Yuan felt the other party's emotional fluctuations and guessed that the other party was indeed not lying.

It sounds like these people are not unforgivable criminals.

It seems that they are not the same kind of people as Brother Huo and his group.

Liang Yuan asked: "Did you capture those people in the cabin of the Flamingo?"

Li Qinghua shook his head: "The three of us didn't do anything. It was Brother Huo's people who did it."

"He doesn't fully trust me yet, and usually doesn't take us with him when he loots the building."

Liang Yuan asked, "Did you take care of Tu Long's injury?"

Li Qinghua's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he admitted, "I participated. He rushed onto the Flamingo and transformed into a giant green-scaled python. Sister Wan couldn't dodge, so I used the space crack to injure him."

Liang Yuan asked directly: "Where did it hit?"

"Back."

"Pfft-!"

As soon as Li Qinghua finished speaking, he saw Liang Yuan raise his eyelids, and Lin Wan suddenly raised her hand, and with a swipe of the dagger, she fiercely tore a bloody wound on Li Qinghua's back.

Suddenly the flesh was torn apart and blood was gushing out.

Li Qinghua screamed in pain, and veins popped out on his forehead.

Liang Yuan said calmly: "This knife is considered as Tu Long's return to you. You and Yangshan Shelter are now even."

"Now I will give you two options. The first option is to follow me back to Yangshan and join the Yangshan Shelter."

"Second, I'm letting you go now. From today on, don't let me see you near Yangshan. You can choose for yourself."

Li Qinghua endured the severe pain in his back and looked up at Liang Yuan, but there was no expression on his face.

He turned to look at Lin Wan and Zhou Qingming. Zhou Qingming gritted his teeth and said, "Tsinghua, let's just find another place."

Li Qinghua looked at Lin Wan again and asked, "Can you let Sister Wan speak?"

Liang Yuan's mental power moved slightly, loosening a puppet thread.

Lin Wan's face was able to move immediately. She burst into tears and said, "Qinghua, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Li Qinghua shook his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Wan, you heard what I said just now. What do you think?"

Lin Wan raised her head and looked at Liang Yuan, with a hint of anger in her eyes, and asked, "Why don't you kill us?"

Liang Yuan smiled: "You are not yet at the point of committing the most heinous crimes, and you are not like those beasts on the Flamingo. Besides, the three of you have special abilities, so I think I value your talents."

Lin Wan's expression changed. She didn't expect Liang Yuan to say that.

She turned to look at Li Qinghua and asked, "Qinghua, you decide. I'll listen to you."

Li Qinghua looked at Lao Zhou, and saw that Lao Zhou was still looking at Liang Yuan angrily. He thought about it, and finally lowered his head and said: "I can go back to Yangshan with you and join the Yangshan Shelter."

Liang Yuan chuckled: "Why, there are still conditions?"

"Correct."

"Tell me."

"The people of Yangshan cannot retaliate against us for what happened before."

Liang Yuan nodded: "I said that the knife just now is the end of your feud with Yang Shan."

Li Qinghua took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then starting today, the three of us will join the Yangshan Shelter."

As he said this, he struggled to get up, and more blood immediately flowed out of the wound on his back.

Seeing this, Lin Wan wanted to help him up, but she couldn't move at all. Her face was full of anxiety. She looked at Liang Yuan and said, "Mr. Liang, we have already admitted defeat. We have agreed to join Yangshan..."

Liang Yuan smiled, and all the puppet threads unravelled, and Lin Wan immediately regained control of her body.

She quickly reached out to help Li Qinghua.

But she never expected that Li Qinghua held her hand. Under the anxious gazes of Zhou Qingming and Lin Wan, Li Qinghua looked at Liang Yuan, took a deep breath, and said, "Li Qinghua, meet Mr. Liang."

As he said this, he endured the pain in his back and bowed deeply.

Liang Yuan suddenly laughed, waved his hand, and with an invisible telekinesis, he lifted him up and said, "Okay, from today on, you are also a member of the Yangshan Shelter."

As he spoke, he took out a tube of green reagent from his arms and threw it over.

Li Qinghua quickly took it, looked at the reagent, and then looked at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan said: "Drink it."

Li Qinghua's heart skipped a beat and his eyes dropped slightly. He hesitated for less than a second before opening the reagent and drinking it all in one gulp.

Zhou Qingming and Lin Wan were very anxious and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"What did you give him to drink?" Zhou Qingming roared, struggling to get up.

However, Liang Yuan just glanced at him, and instantly a terrifying mental force slammed him to the ground.

With a thud, Zhou Qingming fell to his knees.

Liang Yuan said coldly: "Remember, in Yangshan, although I am not a dictator, my dignity as a leader cannot be violated. Watch your attitude when speaking!"

Zhou Qingming roared in anger, and Li Qinghua immediately looked up in surprise. He felt that the wound on his back had quickly scabbed over and stopped bleeding.

Lin Wan also saw this scene and immediately realized that the reagent was not a poison but was used for healing.

They obviously misunderstood Liang Yuan.

Lin Wan hurriedly said, "Mr. Liang, I'm sorry, we misunderstood you, Lao Zhou! Apologize to Mr. Liang!"

Zhou Qingming was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at Li Qinghua. Only then did he notice that the wound on Li Qinghua's back had scabbed over and stopped bleeding.

Only then did he understand what was going on, and the anger on his face froze. He opened his mouth and looked at Liang Yuan, but he couldn't say the words of thanks.

Liang Yuan snorted coldly, looked at Li Qinghua, and said, "Take a rest. Once you three have recovered, follow me back to Yangshan."

At this time, Li Yuejin came out of the woods, walked up to the three people with a smile, stretched out his hand, and said with a chuckle: "Congratulations to the three of you for joining Yangshan, I am Li Yuejin."

He shook hands with Lin Wan and Li Qinghua respectively.

When he got to Zhou Qingming, he looked at Li Yuejin with anger on his face.

Just now on the Flamingo, he was slapped in the face by Li Yuejin, so he was naturally in a bad mood at this time.

However, Li Yuejin simply passed him by and did not shake hands with him.

Of course, his handshake could not be really for the sake of shaking hands.

Just now, through the handshake, he had already secretly left a spiritual imprint on these people.

From now on, no matter where these guys go in Yangshan, they will not be able to hide it from him and Mr. Liang.

It is one thing to conquer, but the necessary means of checks and balances must also be in place.

Before coming here, he had already asked Mr. Liang for his opinion, so this operation was actually instructed by Mr. Liang.

Li Yuejin looked at the three people with a smile, thinking to himself, "It would be better if these three people really accept the offer and join the Yangshan Shelter. Otherwise, they will die without knowing how they died."

At this time Liang Yuan said, "You three can rest here first. Teacher Li, come with me."

Li Yuejin nodded quickly and followed Liang Yuan into the depths of the forest.

Li Yuejin asked: "Mr. Liang, where are we going?"

Liang Yuan looked at the dense woods around him and said, "We have conquered Yangshan and Meishan, but we have never been to Lingyunpo."

"I plan to walk around and go to the top of Lingyunpo Mountain to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuejin nodded quickly and said, "You are right. This Lingyun Slope has not been developed, so there are no buildings. Before the flood, only some outdoor sports enthusiasts who like adventure liked to go here."

"Nowadays, even the path that the adventure enthusiasts had blazed out is gone. I guess there are many mutant beasts hiding here."

Liang Yuan said: "This place is very close to Yangshan. If the resources here are rich, we may be able to build another floating bridge and take Lingyunpo into our possession."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuejin nodded immediately: "If we can take Lingyunpo into our possession, the three mountains in the Yangshan Mountain Range will all be under our control. We can build military fortresses on these three mountains to resist possible crises in the future."

Liang Yuan smiled and said nothing.

Ever since he discovered that there were a large number of rich mineral veins in Meishan Mountain, Liang Yuan immediately had a hunch that the entire Yangshan Mountain Range might contain a large number of mineral veins.

Lingyunpo also belongs to a branch of the Yangshan Mountain Range. There is no reason why there are no mineral veins here.

The emergence of mineral veins will inevitably cause the evolution of some mutant organisms and lead to the birth of mutant plants.

There may be many mutant fruits on this mountain.

Especially since there are no signs of human beings on this mountain, there should be many more mutant fruits than on Meishan.

Liang Yuan asked Li Xiangyang that many people in Meishan Village actually awakened their mutant abilities through some mutant fruits found on Meishan.

This shows that there are many mutated fruits on Meishan Mountain, and many of them have been eaten by the people of Meishan Village.

In addition, some mutant beasts eat them, so even if there are still some mutant fruits on Meishan, there won’t be too many.

But Lingyunpo is different. No human has ever set foot here, so there should still be quite a few mutated fruits left.

After all, mutant beasts don't have very high intelligence, and they may not be able to eat some mutant fruits that are in tricky corners and locations.

In addition, because there is no human presence here, the types and numbers of mutant creatures are far greater than those in Yangshan Scenic Area and Shushan.

Sure enough, after Liang Yuan and Li Yuejin took only two steps, they saw a creature that looked like a cow, but was two to three times larger than a cow, eating grass in the woods.

Its horns are very short and look like four ears at first glance. Its body is pure white without any spots.

A pair of eyes as big as copper bells, watery and with a hint of spirituality.

Suddenly, it seemed to sense something and immediately looked up towards Liang Yuan and the others.

As soon as it saw Liang Yuan and Li Yuejin, panic appeared in its eyes.

Soon, a layer of white light suddenly appeared on its body, and then it started running wildly. As it ran, it disappeared among the mottled shadows of the trees.

Li Yuejin was shocked when he saw this scene. He asked, "What is that? Is it a cow? Why is it glowing?"

Liang Yuan walked towards the bush and said, "It should be a mutated cow. Seeing how its entire body was glowing just now, it's probably a mutant beast with light attributes."

"Light attribute? There are mutant beasts with this attribute?" Li Yuejin was shocked. He had never seen this kind of mutant beast before.

I've never even seen this kind of psychic before.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Li Xiangyang, the former leader of Meishan Jieshi Academy, is a light-attributed mutant. He can instantly release strong light, forming a light explosion like a flash bomb, and can also gather and condense this light energy into a light blade."

Li Yuejin couldn't help but say: "The world is so big, there are so many strange things. It really opened my eyes."

Liang Yuan squatted down and looked at the grass being eaten on the ground.

Li Yuejin also lowered his head and looked, and couldn't help but be surprised again: "Mutated plants!"

However, among the green grass, there were mutant plants shaped like mushrooms growing out. They were about the size of a fist, with oval or round caps, smooth surfaces, and emitted white light.

From a distance, it looks like a small light bulb.

Some of the caps have been half eaten, revealing the stems underneath, which still emit a faint glow.

"Mr. Liang, are these considered mutant fruits?" Li Yuejin asked hurriedly.

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's unlikely. If this is considered a mutant fruit, it would have been eaten up by other mutant beasts long ago."

"But this thing shouldn't be poisonous. The mutant cow can eat it, and perhaps humans can eat it too. Collect some and bring it back to have Doctor Yang and the others test it."

"Okay."

Li Yuejin started picking immediately.

Seeing him pinch it off with his hands, Liang Yuan immediately said, "Wait."

"What's wrong, Mr. Liang?" Li Yuejin looked at Liang Yuan in confusion.

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't pick them like this. Dig them out with the soil and preserve the roots. If they are really valuable, maybe we can transplant them to Yangshan for planting."

Li Yuejin suddenly realized and nodded quickly, then began to dig out the whole root along with the soil.

Liang Yuan looked around, and he felt as if something was watching them.

But his mental power dispersed, and he didn't sense anything within a range of fifty meters.

"Could it be that mutant cow? It didn't go far, it's still nearby?"

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed slightly. It would be great if Dong Yan was there. With her mental connection ability, she might be able to sense the cow.

……

After Liang Yuan and Li Yuejin left, Li Qinghua and the other two were the only ones left sitting on the ground in the woods.

None of the three spoke. They looked at each other and then glanced around calmly.

After a long while, Zhou Qingming whispered, "Is he really gone?"

Sister Wan shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know.

Li Qinghua closed his eyes and sensed it, but unfortunately he was not a psychic, so the range of his sensing was not large.

"We should leave. With his strength, there's no need for him to play this game with us. Besides... Lao Zhou, he should have left some mark on you. He can find us at any time."

After Li Qinghua finished speaking, Zhou Qingming hurriedly checked himself. He did not believe in evil and used the little supernatural power he had accumulated to directly turn his body into mist, and then restored his physical state, saying: "It shouldn't be, I don't have anything on me."

Li Qinghua sighed, "It shouldn't be based on some kind of object to locate you. It's probably some kind of supernatural power."

Sister Wan also said, "Forget it, don't waste your energy, Lao Zhou, take a break quickly and recover your strength. No matter what happens next, you need to recover your strength to deal with the next situation."

Old Zhou nodded helplessly, sat down, and quietly recovered his strength. He couldn't help but ask, "Qinghua, why should we join them? We have made enemies with them. What good will it be if we stay?"

"He has just given us a second way. Why don't we just go there? The world is so big, there are more than just a few mountains."

Li Qinghua didn't say anything. Lin Wan, who was standing beside him, cleaned the wound on his back and whispered, "What Lao Zhou said is right. We don't need to suffer here. Qinghua, with your ability, you can be a leader anywhere. Why should you suffer under him?"

Li Qinghua couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard their whispers.

He sighed, "Are you really naive enough to think that he would give us a second way?"

"Believe it or not, if we choose the second path, we will be beheaded immediately."

"What!" Lin Wan's face changed.

Zhou Qingming's pupils couldn't help shrinking: "Qinghua, are you saying...he was testing us just now?"

Li Qinghua pursed his lips and shook his head: "I don't know, but I don't want to gamble."

"I only know that if I were him, I would never let go of an enemy so easily, especially... an enemy like me who still has a certain potential for growth."

"I judge others by my own standards, so I don't dare to choose the second path."
