After killing more than a dozen monks in the fourth war zone and killing the monster leader, Tang Zhen left the river valley without hesitation.
Tang Zhen had no interest in hunting the remaining monsters, as well as the Loucheng monks belonging to other war zones.
His current level is too high, and the rewards he gets for hunting low-level monsters and monks are simply not impressive.
Rather than wasting time, it's better to hurry up and get to the next place.
It turned out that during this period, monks from Loucheng in the same war zone had provided clues that a nearby city had been occupied by the fourth war zone.
According to the information obtained through inquiring, several Loucheng monks who are quite famous in the Fourth War Zone are currently staying in this city.
The map has a limited capacity and it is impossible to write down all the information. You need to arrive at the destination to explore the specific situation in person.
That's why Tang Zhen left in a hurry, following the marked points on the map, and walked all the way through mountains and rivers.
As for why I didn’t choose to fly, it’s because the energy consumption is too high and the speed is not much faster than traveling on the ground.
In addition, when flying in the air, there is a risk of being exposed and seen by the monks hiding on the ground.
In this world, the density of monks in Loucheng is too high, and there are enemies everywhere.
If you are exposed too many times, your enemies will definitely notice you and then associate some things with you.
In order to ensure the smooth execution of the plan, it is natural to keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid unnecessary complications.
We also encountered some monsters on the way, all of which were ordinary beasts infected by demonic energy and could not harm Tang Zhen at all.
After about a day, Tang Zhen arrived at his destination, a place called Mufeng City.
Still some distance away from the city, Tang Zhen saw groups of Loucheng monks appearing, leading ordinary soldiers to patrol on the road.
In total, the team of hundreds of people is quite powerful, and it is capable of fighting even a small group of monsters.
Compared with Tianxu City, Mufeng City controls a larger safety area and basically does not need to worry about food issues.
The Loucheng monks actively cooperated with the aborigines, treating the nearby area as a hunting area, and then used generous rewards to stimulate the aborigines to hunt monsters.
Almost all adventurers from Mufeng City were dispatched. Although there were casualties in the process of hunting monsters, more adventurers became monks.
Mu Fengcheng's experience shows that only through this cruel life and death struggle can one grow up quickly.
Although a defense method like that of Tianxu City can allow more residents to survive, a certain amount of luck and courage are needed for aborigines to become monks.
Tang Zhen did not continue to hide, but took the initiative to contact the residents of Mufeng City in order to obtain more information.
Of course, not as a Loucheng monk, but as an aborigine, a lucky man who hunted monsters by chance.
At this time, Tang Zhen was wearing tattered rawhide armor and carrying a rusty unsheathed sword. The blade was as jagged as jagged teeth.
Seeing Tang Zhen appear from the roadside, the patrol members looked wary and immediately surrounded him.
"Boy, where did you come from?"
A strong man with a long beard and dark red skin asked with a copper ring in his hand, while waving the ax in his hand with a bit of ferocity in his tone.
At the same time, he also deliberately released a trace of momentum to intimidate Tang Zhen, thus showing his identity as a monk.
Tang Zhen could tell at a glance that this ax was just a tool used by ordinary people to chop firewood, not a battle ax used in war.
Looking at the clothes of this strong man and the traces of labor left on his body, we can confirm that he was an ordinary farmer not long ago.
Tang Zhen secretly smiled in his heart, but with a frightened expression on his face, he said in a timid voice: "I am a villager in Muna Village. Monsters attacked our village and all the villagers were killed by the monsters.
I tried my best to kill a monster, and then for some reason, my strength became stronger and stronger.
I was the only one left in the village and could no longer live in it, so I wandered around until I saw you."
Tang Zhen looked like a timid little villager who accidentally became a monk.
After hearing Tang Zhen's words, the monks in the patrol team looked at each other, and then nodded secretly.
Situations similar to Tang Zhen's were common during this period. They all became monks inexplicably after killing monsters.
Of course, there are more unlucky ones who did not kill the monsters, but instead became their food.
"Your boy is very lucky, he was not killed by the monster, and he has awakened extraordinary power.
There are many people like you in our Mufeng City. If you are willing, you can join us to fight against the monsters."
The person who spoke was not the bearded man, but a monk from Loucheng who was leading the team. He had been observing Tang Zhen all the time and confirmed that there was no doubt.
"Follow you to fight against monsters?"
Tang Zhen showed a hint of hesitation and worry, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, but he quickly nodded.
"Well, I don't have anywhere to go anyway, so I'll join you!"
After saying this, Tang Zhen showed a relieved expression and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, you won't regret your choice, just like me!"
The bearded man waved his fist, walked up to Tang Zhen, and looked at his sword with disgust.
"Your weapon is too fragile. It will break if you use a little force. You probably can't kill even a mouse.
How about I help you find a blacksmith to repair it, and you don't have to worry about paying a high price. If that guy dares to charge you more money, I will kick his ass!"
The bearded man probably never dreamed that Tang Zhen's tattered-looking sword had killed more than a dozen Loucheng monks in the fourth war zone, as well as a demon king who commanded tens of thousands of monsters.
Strong men like Tang Zhen often have the ability to turn decay into magic. Even if they are scraps of scrap metal, they can still kill their enemies with fear.
"No need to trouble you, I can use this knife very well."
Tang Zhen smiled and shook his head, saying that if he had the chance, he would get a better weapon.
Big Beard didn't force himself, and took Tang Zhen to join the team and walked towards Mufeng City.
The bearded man was chattering along the way, seemingly chatting, but in fact he was verifying Tang Zhen's identity to prevent enemies from sneaking into Mufeng City.
Tang Zhen naturally knew what Big Beard was thinking, but he would never expose it and just cooperated with the show.
After discovering that there was nothing wrong with Tang Zhen, Big Beard immediately changed the subject and invited Tang Zhen to join their patrol team.
"As long as you join our team, you can follow us to hunt monsters. The rich harvest is guaranteed to make you smile from ear to ear."
The bearded man said in a showy tone. Because it was not classified, the monk from Loucheng who led the team did not stop him.
It turns out that there is a ruins near Mufeng City. There are many monsters inside, but the exit is firmly blocked by the Loucheng monks.
The residents of Mufeng City rotate into teams and go into the ruins to hunt monsters. While controlling the spread of monsters, it also gives the residents of Mufeng City a shortcut to become monks.
The biggest beneficiary is the Loucheng monks. Relying on their strong strength, Caodu has completely controlled Mufeng City.
Under the management of the monks from the Fourth War Zone, Mufeng City will become stronger and stronger, and then become the overlord of the nearby area.
When the conditions are met, Mu Fengcheng will definitely attack Tianxu City and eliminate all the monks in the fifth war zone.
The converse is also true. If Tianxu City becomes stronger, it will never allow this city controlled by the Fourth War Zone to exist.
