Chapter 274 The Escaped Ferret
"Damn... I got tricked by such a little thing!"
Seeing this, Cang Nian, who had originally been playing cat and mouse with the cat, felt a little embarrassed and cursed under his breath.
squeak...
But when he looked back, the little sable was staring at the disappearing little ferret with a lovesick look on its face.
If it could speak, Cangnian guessed it would be saying, "Even its sarcasm is so cute..."
"Ow~!"
The old man immediately let out a howl, bringing the little sable back to its senses.
laugh?
Still laughing!
If you laugh again, your pre-arranged wife will run away!
Find it quickly!
Cang Nian was somewhat exasperated.
The fact that the other party could use the ferret in the painting to mislead him clearly means that they could leave their own scent on the ferret outlined in the ink lines.
Judging by my sense of smell, it's unlikely I'll be able to find any trace of them.
I can only spot the sable cubs from a great distance; I wonder if I'll be able to find them accurately this time.
Zhizhi~!
Hearing Cang Nian's howl, the little sable finally came to its senses and nodded emphatically.
Your Majesty, rest assured!
I'm sure I'll find it!
……
"Join forces for defense! Quickly!"
"Where are the evolved beings? Where are the third-tier evolved beings? Come quickly and save them!"
"They're all dead! They're all dead! These big guys are too powerful, no one can stop them!"
"What can we do? Is Mu City, which has withstood so many difficulties, going to perish today?"
"If only we had accepted Kangcheng's suggestion to merge with Kangcheng! If we had migrated with them, at least they would have had more third-tier evolvers, and we wouldn't be as helpless as we are now!"
"It's too late to say anything now. We've been targeted by these big guys, and we're all going to die sooner or later..."
On the snow, a large group of people huddled together, feeling both afraid and regretful.
The clamor, the sounds of fighting, and the shouts rang out from the migrating procession, disturbing even the clear sky.
"It's all my fault...it's all my fault."
If it weren't for my fear of merging with Kangcheng...
Their evolutionary strength is greater, and our Mu City will be excluded from the core of power.
If this hadn't happened...
While fending off the enemy's attack, Mucheng Deputy Mayor Liao Yongchun blamed himself.
Ten days ago, when Cangnian and his party passed through Mucheng on their way back to Kangcheng, Qin Changyi suggested that Mucheng be relocated to Kangcheng.
Thus, the combined number of survivors from both cities reached one million.
When we stick together, we become stronger and better able to cope with crises.
Moreover, Qin Changyi thought at the time that because of the insect swarm, a large number of creatures near Mucheng fled to the vicinity of Kangcheng, and stayed there after the insect swarm was destroyed.
This is one of the reasons why Mu City, despite having mastered the method of extracting evolution potions, is still far behind Kang City, despite the scarcity of creatures, food shortages, and limited number of evolved creatures around it.
Therefore, Qin Changyi wanted to use the merger of cities to make up for the deficiencies in Mu City.
After all, Kangcheng has such a good environment around it, so it has essentially consumed the original resources of Mucheng.
However, the power circle in Mucheng, led by Liao Yongchun, believed that Qin Changyi had ulterior motives and intended to use Hecheng to peacefully annex Mucheng.
In addition, as the insect swarm's extinction took longer, many of the creatures that had been forced to the vicinity of Kangcheng returned to Mucheng, making the living environment around Mucheng less harsh.
Therefore, Liao Yongchun declined Kang Cheng's offer.
Qin Changyi had more or less guessed what the other party was thinking, knowing that no matter how much he proved that he didn't have such intentions, Mu Cheng wouldn't believe him.
Therefore, he had no choice but to give up and even sent several third-tier evolution potions to Mu Cheng as compensation for Kang Cheng's unconscious enjoyment of Mu Cheng's resources.
It is precisely for this reason that Mu City still has several third-tier evolvers.
However, due to bad luck, a cold wave struck, and seeing the already small number of creatures migrating south, Mu Cheng had no choice but to migrate south as well.
On the first day of the migration, Liao Yongchun found the journey fraught with difficulties and wavered, abandoning the southward migration direction and turning to a slightly leftward one.
Given the geographical locations of Kangcheng and Mucheng, Mucheng only needs to cross 200 kilometers to arrive ahead of the Kangcheng migration team.
In this way, with the two cities converging, migrating south would be much safer.
However, before they could even get ahead of the migration team from Kangcheng, they encountered a huge crisis!
A group of wild boars set their sights on the migrating caravan from Mucheng.
Wild boars are omnivores; they eat meat when they can, and grass when they can't find meat.
The grass in this icy, snowy place, which hasn't dried out but has been frozen into ice blocks, means that wild boars can't eat too much of it, or they'll suffer from excessive hypothermia.
In this terrible winter, excessive hypothermia is tantamount to death.
Therefore, wild boars naturally chose to eat meat.
However, wild boars are too slow to deal with the tall, long-legged, and agile deer.
But when they encountered the migrating caravan from Mucheng, it was a dream come true for the wild boars.
Not fast, easy to kill!
Sparse fur, thin skin, tender meat, delicious!
Most importantly, there are a lot of them!
No matter how fiercely they fight, humans will only try to resist, but will not scatter and run away.
Because for social beings, without absolute power, if they disperse, it is tantamount to certain death.
Therefore, this group of wild boars treated the migrating herd of herdsmen as a mobile buffet truck.
If you're hungry, just rush into the crowd and eat as much as you want.
Moreover, there are evolved beings among them!
Especially the third-tier evolved beings, their meat was so delicious that even the wild boar king's tongue would melt from eating it!
This is the first time it has ever eaten meat from a Tier 3 evolutionary stage!
The boar king, capable of killing a third-tier evolved being, is naturally also a third-tier evolved being.
Moreover, it also has a harem of female wild boars, two of whom have also reached the third tier!
The three third-stage evolved wild boars were all larger and had thicker skin than the others.
Even though Mu City has several newly promoted Tier 3 Evolvers, they are no match for them.
In fact, even those second-tier wild boars were a disaster for Mu City!
Their thick skin and massive size make them like flesh and blood tanks, while humans are like eggs in front of them, easily broken.
Even second-tier evolved beings cannot break through their defenses; one wrong move and they would be crushed to death, becoming their food.
Moreover, after the wild boars tasted the sweetness of the meat, they specifically targeted and killed evolved beings with higher evolutionary levels, making the meat even more delicious!
hum...
At this moment, the largest wild boar king suddenly twitched its short, thick snout twice.
Then, its eyes became excited, and it suddenly turned its head to look to its west!
It smelled a foul odor.
That's the smell of a third-order evolved creature!
Then, it looked closely and saw a crack spreading towards it on the snow in the distance!
hold head high--! ! !
Seeing this, the wild boar king became even more excited. It rubbed its short, thick hooves against the ground and then launched a savage charge forward!
Its fangs plunged into the snow, splitting it apart like an iron plow!
dong dong dong...
At the same time, the little ferret, which was burying its head and trying to escape, suddenly stopped.
earthquake?
The little ferret wondered to itself, then with a plop, it pushed aside the snow on its head and poked its head out to observe the situation.
Squeak—!!
This observation terrified it so much that it nearly jumped out of its skin and let out a horrified scream.
