Chapter 186 Expedition

A few girls were a little reluctant, but the matter was still settled.
Mo Yu coughed lightly and said to Elise, "Start calling me husband now."

"Yes, Master."

"Ok?"

"Husband...husband..."

Elise blushed and lowered her head, her gaze wandering.

Mo Yu was both amused and exasperated.

This girl, we've been married for ages, and he still gets shy about paying his dues every day.

Mo Yu said, "I am an Awakened One. My superpower is my hiding place, and it is also the capital for our wandering. You don't need to suppress your strength in a moment. Go all out and show your Emperor's aura. By the way, be a bit aloof. I will take care of contacting the others."

“Okay, honey,” Elise replied.

Mo Yu nodded and said, "Now go out and clean up the mess. Alice, stop your ability, don't scare them."

"I know, I know."

Alice answered impatiently, her rabbit ears drooping, clearly in a bad mood.

The zombie worms all stopped moving and turned into pieces.

Elise emerged from her hiding place and finished off the remaining locusts. She noticed the humans moving rapidly underground, but pretended not to know and killed all the remaining locusts.

Mo Yu stepped out of her hiding place and said, "Darling, you've worked hard."

Elise, with her aloof demeanor, gave a curt "hmm" in response to the kiss, though her cheeks were slightly flushed.

The two entered through the folding door and disappeared.

This scene was witnessed by the earth monkey hiding behind the corpse in the distance. After observing its surroundings and confirming that no one else was around, it crept closer. Upon examining the folding door up close, it hesitated before reaching out to try and touch it.

"Who?!"

Blood-red thorns appeared, seized control of the earth monkey, and lifted it high into the air.

Elise's pretty face was frosty, and a chilling killing intent erupted as blood thorns wrapped around her.

Overwhelmed by the immense pressure emanating from the three evolutionary stages, the earth monkey lacked even the will to resist, screaming, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm human! I'm human!"

"Honey, don't do it yet."

Mo Yu came out and hugged Iris from behind.

Elise snorted and threw the earth monkey on the ground.

The monkey had half its body buried in the soil, ready to escape at any moment.

Mo Yu asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The earth monkey regained its composure and said with a fawning smile, "I am a member of the Hope City expedition team. When I heard the sounds of battle here, our captain sent me to scout and see if we needed any support. You guys are really amazing; you killed so many locusts."

"When you're out in the world, you need to have some skills. My friend, could you tell me what era we're in? And what's happening on this planet right now?..."

Mo Yu took out the prepared script.

A human and a vampire fall in love, but their relationship is not accepted by her family. The two elope to live in seclusion in the mountains, but after the world changes drastically, they begin to wander and become refugees.

"Hope City is a human settlement? That's great, honey, let's go to Hope City and create a good environment for the baby to grow up in."

Mo Yu was excited as he hugged Iris and gently stroked her lower abdomen.

Elise gave a soft "hmm".

Mo Yu asked sincerely, "Can you take us to Hope City?"

The monkey said awkwardly, "Well... actually, we got lost..."

Mo Yu said, "Can we join your team? Don't worry, we'll just follow you to the city and won't consume your resources. If we encounter danger, we can join forces."

The earth monkey said, "I have no authority to decide. Come with me to the camp and meet the captain."

"it is good."

Hope City is happy to accept fellow wanderers who come back, and it is because of this inclusiveness that Hope City can quickly gather survivors.

The earth monkey pointed in a direction: "This way."

Elise spread her bat wings and said coldly, "You lead the way, we'll follow."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The earth monkey nodded and bowed.

The oppressive aura emanating from Elise, along with the cold, unapproachable presence of a vampire, is extremely intimidating to the weak, even though she appears to be a sweet and lovely young girl.

The monkeys burrowed underground and moved around, causing the ground to bulge slightly.

Elizabeth and Mo Yufei arrived near the base very quickly.

The base was hidden underground; on the surface, there was nothing there—just an ordinary wasteland.

Elise whispered, "42 vital signs, all underground. Someone has noticed us and is gathering this way."

Mo Yu said, "42? The number doesn't match up; there's one too many."

The intelligence is incorrect.

If Govia's mind control is flawless, then the earth monkey must have made a mistake. Was it simply a misremembering, or is there another reason?
The earth monkey popped out of the ground and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go and inform them first."

After saying that, he disappeared back into the ground.

Moments later, the ground began to twitch.

A platform rose up, and the earth monkey carried the two people back to the ground.

A middle-aged man wearing a single eye patch, and a burly, broad-shouldered orc.

The panel immediately provided a label.

This is a human-tiger hybrid; it's dangerous, escape is advised.

The third evolutionary form is the offspring born from the combination of humans and beast monsters. Mo Yu recalled the combination of a human and a fishman that he encountered in the North Sea Empire.

After humanity's lineage was severed, is this the only way to borrow power from monsters?
The one-eyed man is an awakened being.

Secondary evolution.

In Mo Yu's soul perception, there was an energy flow within the person's covered left eye, emitting a strange fluctuation that constantly swept over the two of them.

The safety buckle was burning hot.

He was using some kind of skill to gather information about the two of them.

Mo Yu was in no hurry to make a move.

After rewinding for 24 hours, he has a lot of room for error. There are many people watching him underground, and any unusual movement from him will trigger a major battle.

The two sides were sizing each other up.

Mo Yu and Elise were dressed smartly and spotlessly.

The expedition team fared much worse; all three were covered in dust and dirt, their clothes and bodies filthy, with holes and wear and tear.

It's clear that their circumstances aren't very good.

The middle-aged man spoke up: "My name is Li Jiu, and I am the deputy leader of the expedition team. May I ask your name, friend?"

"Mo Yu, this is my wife, Elise..."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Li Jiu said, "We were attacked by star worms before, which caused us to deviate from our planned route and lose our way. We are currently trying to find our way back. If you are willing to come along, we would like to welcome you to join us."

Mo Yu said, "We are also wandering and haven't seen our compatriots for a long time. It would be great if we could go to human settlements. We will be self-sufficient in terms of supplies. Just let us follow you."

The two sides completed initial negotiations.

Li Jiu extended an invitation: "Friend, come to the stronghold and have a seat. I'll introduce you to the captain."

Mo Yu naturally wouldn't refuse.

The earth monkey activated its ability, and the ground began to descend. The group entered an underground tunnel, and after taking two steps forward, they arrived at a spacious hall.

There were lights on here, and a lot of people had gathered.

They are all strong members of the team.

There are both humans and hybrids, and their strength is generally at the second or third level. There is an inconspicuous old man hidden in a corner who is a fourth-level evolutionary. There is also a fourth-level evolutionary among the hybrids.

Countless eyes were focused on the two of them.

There was wariness, curiosity, and envy.

After all, Mo Yu and her companion were so glamorous that they stood out too much when standing with these people.

Li Jiu called out, "Everyone, everyone, go do what you need to do! Don't scare the new friends."

The crowd then dispersed.

A few people stayed behind and hid to observe.

Led by Li Jiu, the two entered a temporary meeting room.

Soon, several people and mixed-race individuals entered. The leader was an ordinary human with graying hair, an elderly man who looked energetic. He turned out to be the captain of the expedition team.
