Chapter 604: Remnants

A few days later, Xiao Mu received a call from Wu Yan, asking him to come to his office.

Xiao Mu went directly to Wu Yan's office.

The staff in the task group were quite busy, and it happened to be noon at this time, and there was only Wu Yan in Wu Yan's office.

Wu Yan sat on the sofa, drinking tea leisurely, waiting for Xiao Mu to arrive.

"Hello, team leader!" Xiao Mu greeted Wu Yan.

"Coming?" Wu Yan stood up with a smile on his face.

For Xiao Mu, a rookie who joined the mission team not long ago, Wu Yan admired it quite a lot. Not only because Xiao Mu had completed several important tasks shortly after he joined the task group, but also because Xiao Mu had always been modest and polite.

Of course, what Wu Yan saw was obviously only Xiao Mu's superficial appearance. Although he usually looked humble, polite, and uncontested, once he became ruthless, he was definitely scary.

"Is there something wrong with the team leader?"

Seeing that Wu Yan didn't take a seat after standing up, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel strange.

Wu Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Mu, have you joined the mission team for a while?"

Xiao Mu thought for a while, "It's not too long, just two or three months."

"It's been two or three months." Wu Yan sighed, and said kindly: "During the past two or three months, you have made meritorious service one after another. Not only have you found a land mansion, but you have even brought back a dedicated incense burner dedicated to the land god. I have always noticed your ability, it is not comparable to ordinary people."

"The team leader praised me too much, I just did what I should do."

Xiao Mu is modest.

"Excessive modesty is hypocrisy. Xiao Mu, you don't have to be so polite to me. I, Wu Yan, am not someone who praises people casually. I praise you because you really did a good job." Wu Yan continued with a smile.

I don't know how to respond to what you said.

Xiao Mu simply stopped arguing about this issue.

Wu Yan continued: "I called you here this time because there are some things in the group that I should let you know."

"What did the team leader say?" Xiao Mu looked confused, unable to figure out what Wu Yan was talking about.

Wu Yan's expression suddenly became solemn, and he greeted Xiao Mu, "Come with me!"

Xiao Mu was full of confusion and couldn't figure out what Wu Yan was going to tell him, so he could only follow Wu Yan.

Wu Yan took Xiao Mu out of the office, and immediately used his escape technique to walk back.

"Your escape technique is stronger than ordinary escape technique, seems to have mutated?"

Wu Yan performed the earth escape technique and walked side by side with Xiao Mu, looking at Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu's earth escaping technique had changed, he had already discovered it, and this was the first time he asked.

"It's mutated!" Xiao Mu responded flatly.

There is nothing to hide about the mutation of the earth evasion technique, and there is nothing to hide, as long as others see him performing the evasion technique, they can tell it at a glance.

"Heroes are born as teenagers. The Du Wen who joined the group with you has also mutated his escapism. Both of you are geniuses."

Wu Yan clicked his tongue in praise.

It is not a simple matter to mutate escapism, most people's escapism is just ordinary escapism.

Even if Wu Yan, don't look at him having reached the peak of the Yin God Realm, or even reached perfection, the escapism he practiced is just an ordinary escapism, and there is no variation.

Of course, due to Wu Yan's relatively high level, the Earth Dungeon technique he uses is faster than that of ordinary people.

But even so, it is not much different from Xiao Mu's Earth Dungeon.

Du Wen really mutated his escape technique only because he ate Zhuopa's ashes.

Wu Yan praised Du Wenzhen, which made Xiao Mu speechless for a while. If Wu Yan knew how Du Wenzhen's escape technique mutated, he wondered if he could still praise it.

But having said that, the mutants' pursuit of strength is almost crazy, and they don't necessarily care whether they want to eat Zhuopa's ashes.

Even if they know that eating it can make the power of the five elements mutate, I am afraid that many mutants will eat it. Du Wenzhen is a clear example.

"It's here, it's here."

Wu Yan suddenly stopped the escape technique and stood still on the spot.

Xiao Mu was caught off guard, and ran away for a certain distance, but turned around and fled back.

I said earlier that this is the destination.

Seeing that this is the support team, Xiao Mu couldn't help complaining secretly.

"Leader Wu is here!"

"Hello, Team Leader Wu!"

The two Yinshen Realm guards at the gate of the support group greeted Wu Yan respectfully.

"good!"

Wu Yan nodded.

"Leader Wu, this is also a member of the mission team, right? I've seen it once."

The tall guard among the Yinshen Realm guards asked Wu Yan Xiaomu's identity with a smile.

"This is Xiao Mu from our mission team."

Wu Yan rarely introduced Xiao Mu's identity to the two guards, and then casually introduced the two guards to Xiao Mu, "Xiao Mu, one of these two is Zhao Yu, and the other is Guo Cen."

"Xiao Mu, hello!"

"Come here often!"

The two guards greeted Xiao Mu enthusiastically, very politely.

"Brother Zhao, hello Brother Guo, please take care of me in the future." Xiao Mu couldn't tell who was Zhao Yu and who was Guo Cen, and said casually.

"You're welcome!" The tall guard laughed.

"Brother Xiao, you're too polite!" Another guard laughed.

Wu Yan took Xiao Mu and strode into the compound where the support team was, and said as he walked, "I won't see Li Jing this time, so I won't meet him, and go directly to the area where our group is located."

"Oh!" Xiao Mu replied, but he was confused by Wu Yan's words, but he vaguely sensed from the meaning of the other party's words that the support team seemed to be dealing with not only one group, but also the second group.

The first group and the second group each have an area in this compound, separated from each other.

This time Wu Yan didn't use the escape technique, but used his body skills to move slowly, and he entered a courtyard again not long after.

There was no one holding hands at the gate of the yard, and it looked empty, so Wu Yan led Xiao Mu in directly.

As soon as I entered, I realized that the yard looked like a large park.

There are ponds in the garden, pavilions, waterside pavilions, and a large artificial lake.

Instead of ordinary flowers and plants, all kinds of strange plants are planted in each flower garden, including energy fruits, mutated fruits, and various mutated rare medicinal materials.

In the park, among the various flower beds, in the artificial lake, and among the pavilions, there are people walking around. There are probably no less than thirty or forty people, including old and young, men and women.

Each of these men, women and children is a mutant.

However, right now, they are all wounded, some are missing legs and feet, some are covered in black air, and some have mutated bodies. Their bodies are normal, but they have the head of a beast.

"Hello, team leader!" An old man with missing legs looked up and saw Wu Yan, with a smile on his face.

"Leader Wu is here!" It was an old woman walking by with a bamboo basket picking a basket of mutated fruits.

"Haha! Team Leader Wu, do you want to play chess? My old Li has recently researched a new game record, do you dare to play a game?" A man with a human body and a horse's head sitting at the Go table smiled at Wu Yan. It looks intimidating, but it's not scary at all.

Although these mutants were wounded and even cursed to become half-human and half-beast, they still maintained a good attitude and were full of enthusiasm for life.

"Old Li, with your stinky chess basket, I will let you beat you with nine pieces." Wu Yan laughed and scolded the half-man, half-horse man Lao Li who was sitting at the Go table.

"Let me be my nine sons, this is what you said, come, come, come, play a game with my old Li, whoever dares will be my grandson." The half-man, half-horse old Li shouted at Wu Yan cursingly.

"The team leader is going to play chess with Lao Li, haha!"

An old man missing a leg laughed and collapsed from a distant flower garden, looking like he wanted to watch the excitement.

"Haha! Team Leader Wu, I'll give you my seat. I hope you win Lao Li, so that the old boy won't be arrogant in front of me all the time."

Opposite to Lao Li, a half-man, half-horse man, a scholar-like man covered in black air stood up with a folding fan in his hand.

"Leader Wu, beat him! Beat Old Li!"

Someone made a fuss, wanting to watch Lao Li and Wu Yan play chess.

The nearby mutants all gathered around, booing and wanting to watch the chess game.

A man who looks like a baby, talks old-fashioned, and has an old voice like an old man walked over with shaky steps, laughing as he walked, "Captain Wu, you must have a good reputation when you play chess with Lao Li, I think so , whoever loses will bray three times."

"This...isn't that good! Why don't the losers take out a thousand energy fruits to buy colorful fruits and ask everyone to eat their fill." Wu Yan glanced at the half-human, half-horse Lao Li, and said tactfully.

"Haha! Team Leader Wu was afraid that I would be sensitive, so he didn't agree to learn how to bray like a donkey. Although I, Lao Li, became a half-man and half-horse monster, I never cared about it. If you learn from a donkey, you must bray like a donkey. Team Leader Wu, Don’t say you don’t dare! You are a horse in your heart, and you are a horse even if you are a human. You are a human in your heart. Even if you become a horse, you are still a human. I, Lao Li, don’t care. Why do you care?” Lao Li laughed.

"Okay, learn how to bray like a donkey!" Wu Yan took the words with a laugh.

The two started to play chess, Lao Li used black pieces to place a piece on each of the nine stars, Wu Yan used white characters to grab the corner...

"Young man, eat a jujube!"

The woman carrying the bamboo basket suddenly took out a fiery red date from the basket and handed it to Xiao Mu.

"Thanks!"

Xiao Mu glanced at the woman carrying the bamboo basket and found dates.

The whole jujube seems to be wrapped in flames, and holding it in the hand is like holding a ball of fire.

This is undoubtedly a mutated jujube.

Xiao Mu ate it without any hesitation. At his stage, the mutated jujube had no effect on him.

After eating the jujube, it immediately seemed as if a group of people were on fire, and a stream of pure energy poured into Xiao Mu's body, trying to make Xiao Mu's body mutated.

As soon as the energy in Xiao Mu's body moved, he suppressed this special energy and transformed it into ordinary energy for him to absorb.

Wu Yan and Lao Li didn't play chess for too long, and it took about half an hour to decide the winner.

In the last count, Wu Yan's son-in-law regretted losing.

"I lost, I'll bray like a donkey, Hui Hui!" Wu Yan sighed and bray like a donkey.

"It was Team Leader Wu who let me do it on purpose. I actually lost this game. Lao Li looked frustrated. I said Team Leader Wu, it's just playing chess. It's boring to let it go. When it's almost over, Zhengzi, you He had a chance to kill me a big dragon, but he stopped suddenly, which is clearly for me."

"Forget it, if you lose, you lose. My old Li is really not someone who can't afford to lose. I should be the one who brays like a donkey, Hui Hui!"

The old donkey raised his horse's head and brayed like a donkey.

"Haha! Do you really think I will let you?" Wu Yan Xiaomu Lao Li.

"Otherwise, let's play another game?" Old Li stretched out his huge horse's head and glared at Wu Yan.

"Forget it this time, I still have something to do. When I have free time, I will play with you for three days and three nights." Wu Yan stood up, not wanting to continue playing chess.

"That's what you said, I'll wait for you!" Lao Li laughed.

"This is Xiao Mu. Xiao Mu, this is Lao Li, Lao Rong, Lao Qin..." Wu Yan casually introduced everyone and Xiao Mu.

"Xiao Mu, are you new here?"

Lao Li glanced at Xiao Mu, smiled and said: "When doing tasks, you must take care of yourself first, run away if you are in danger, and make sure there is no danger before starting, don't learn from us."

"Yes, Xiao Mu, listen to Lao Li, yes, protecting yourself is the first priority, don't learn from us." The old woman was kind.

"If you get hurt, you won't be able to continue to contribute to the group. People like us are just idiots!" The man who looked like a scholar was covered in black air, and his figure was pale, not like a real person.

"Thank you for the reminder! I will remember it." Xiao Mu responded with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Mu, come with me!" Wu Yan waved his hands at the crowd, beckoning Xiao Mu to follow him.

"Goodbye, everyone!"

Xiao Mu clasped his fists at everyone.

"Often when something happens!"

"Xiao Mu, come here often to play!"

...

Everyone greeted Xiao Mu in a hurry.

"Must come often!"

Xiao Mu replied with a smile, said goodbye, and caught up with Wu Yan.

"These are old team members of our group, old team members who were injured during the mission." Wu Yan said to Xiao Mu in a low voice, with a sad tone in his tone.

In fact, even if Wu Yan didn't say anything, Xiao Mu would have discovered it long ago.

He saw several disabled people who were obviously injured by the Five Elements brilliance, but the injuries were too severe and the Five Elements' power in the wounds could not be eliminated, making it impossible to heal the injuries.

Lao Li, who was half-man, half-horse, was obviously injured by the curse of the curse door, and turned into half-man, half-horse.

The scholar with a weak figure was also under some kind of spell.

There are also people who have completely died, and what is left is only a part of the residual will, which has been solidified by a special method and remains in the world for a while.

The will is different from the yin spirit, the yin spirit can still cultivate, but the will cannot continue to cultivate, and it is only a matter of time before it completely dissipates.

Xiao Mu nodded and said nothing.

Although everyone in these groups of ancestors was injured, physically damaged, or mutated, they still maintained an optimistic and positive attitude, and did not sink because of it. Living in this huge park, they are still using their own Strength contributes to a group.

Undoubtedly, these strange fruits in the park were all planted for a group of team members who were fighting on the front line.

For example, the old woman gave Xiao Mu fire dates, this kind of common mutant fruit, can also help the team members.

"Come here!"

Wu Yan led Xiao Mu to continue walking deep into the park. Along the way, he met many injured team members again, greeted them, and arrived in front of a gray house.
