CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 41: GATHERING STORMS, GET AN EXOTIC BEAST AS A MOUNT?

The news of the beast tide attacking Qingyang City quickly spread online.

Originally, beast tides attacking cities became very frequent after the mutation.

Such news appeared every day across the country. At first, people were very concerned, because no one knew when it might happen to them.

However, as time passed, many people began to adapt, and with the construction of the five super cities underway, the attention started to decline.

In the past, each time a beast tide appeared, it caused massive destruction and serious casualties.

But this time was different.

According to Zhen Dan Academy, a mysterious person intervened at a critical moment, shooting an arrow to kill the Beast King, saving hundreds of thousands of people, which reignited interest, with everyone guessing who the mysterious savior could be.

This incident also made more people realize that in order to survive in the new era, absolute strength is required.

More and more people began trying various ways, hoping to embark on the path of evolution.

During the early mutation phase, there were plenty of Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs.

Some people had great fortunes, becoming Awakened.

Therefore, more people gained Extraordinary Power, and the number of Awakened continues to increase, but the strength remains weak.

...

[Qingzhou City was attacked by Exotic Beasts. Teachers and students of Zhen Dan Academy courageously fought the Beast King. At a critical moment, a mysterious person shot the Beast King, saving hundreds of thousands of people....]

A few days later.

In a desolate mountain.

Lu Yuan looked at the news pushed on his phone and couldn’t help but smile.

Realizing that the arrow that day left a deep impression on Zhen Dan Academy.

He hadn’t expected, however.

That they would choose to publish the event.

Are they trying to draw his attention?

He shook his head.

Lu Yuan thought no more about it, understanding that Zhen Dan Academy represented the government.

And the government wants to stabilize the new era’s situation, indeed, they have been recruiting strong Awakened.

However, he had no interest in this.

So he didn’t pay attention to it at all.

Immediately, Lu Yuan put down his phone, determined his direction, and moved forward at full speed.

His physique was too powerful. With one step, he covered almost a hundred meters. At full speed, even high-speed trains couldn’t catch up. In this case, there was no need for a vehicle, but the only downside was it was a bit tiring.

"Relying on running by myself is not feasible. When there’s an opportunity, I need to get an Exotic Beast as a mount." Lu Yuan muttered to himself. The territories were getting larger, and relying solely on running was too troublesome.

He couldn’t fly yet.

Finding a flying creature as a mount was evidently the best choice.

Of course.

The mount shouldn’t be chosen carelessly or settled for poorly.

In fact, Lu Yuan already had an idea in mind, something very suitable.

With very strong bloodlines, great potential, and high combat power.

But everything has to wait until the voyage to the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum is over before planning.

Lu Yuan proceeded while planning.

About half an hour later.

He stopped and gazed into the distance, where Chang’an City lay.

There, a vast city loomed in and out of view, with many tall buildings.

More importantly, this city was surrounded by a gigantic steel wall, towering up to a hundred meters high, entirely constructed of steel, different from every other city he had seen. At this moment, Chang’an City resembled a city of iron.

However, those walls were still under construction, with numerous places being worked on.

But under current circumstances, with the growing number of Awakened.

It shouldn’t take too long to complete.

In fact.

Before Lu Yuan left Hu City, he also saw large-scale defense constructions everywhere.

It’s safe to say that the five super cities’ sites were chosen wisely, encompassing all directions, with two locations on the coastline to fend off Exotic Beasts from overseas, preventing invasions.

However.

The plan to construct super cities.

So far only exists here, with little reaction from other countries.

This is understandable, considering only Hua Xia has such organizational capacity and perseverance.

Lu Yuan paused, then moved quickly towards Chang’an City.

But he deliberately slowed down his steps.

During the journey.

He noticed many people heading towards Chang’an City as well.

Some were driving, some running, and even some on horseback, with helicopters in the sky.

Occasionally, he would see Awakened on the path to evolution.

But most were only in the Initial Realm.

Some had horns on their heads.

Some had long tails...

All in all, each had peculiar features, instantly recognizable as Awakened.

This was normal. These people hadn’t fully mastered their inner power and bloodlines, remaining at a very primary stage.

After all, not everyone can be like Lu Yuan.

"It seems the news about the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum has fully leaked out." Lu Yuan sighed.

Initially, only major forces knew about it, but it couldn’t remain hidden for long, especially with humans living near Lishan. Over time, more people were bound to find out.

Moreover, there might be a dominant force that wants the information to spread, attracting more Awakened.

If enough people participate, inevitably a chaotic battle will erupt.

Some people can take advantage of the chaos.

The Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.

Where the Ancestor Dragon sleeps, always extraordinary.

If a mutation occurs, something extraordinary will definitely happen, no less than some famous mountains and rivers.

What’s more, the more famous the mountain, the more likely powerful Exotic Beasts will appear.

In comparison, the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum might be less dangerous.

So under these circumstances.

The Lishan Imperial Mausoleum can be said to garner worldwide attention, gathering winds and clouds. When the time comes, there will surely be more and greater Awakened appearing.
