Volume 2 Chapter 117 Temporary Residence

  All the way, listening to various forces searching for Liang Jing, Gong Zheng's private soldiers' threats and coercion, and pointing to deer as horses, he was indignant in his heart, only regretting that his strength was too weak to help Liang Jing. At the same time, he made up his mind to train hard and increase his power, and not always be a burden.

  All the way, they still had a captive Wu Yong who was knocked unconscious by Liang Jing. They also had to collect some of the private soldiers' left-behind weapons and equipment from time to time. The crowd walked very slowly, even pitifully slow. Originally, the road was not easy to walk on, especially for most ordinary people. As their speed slowed down, Liang Jing's speed slowed down by at least ten times.

  Huh?

  Are you looking for trouble!

  Liáng Jìng, who was walking ahead, had a small map to remind him. If the life that was placed beside him was as clear as radar, then this constantly approaching red dot would naturally be crystal clear, and his eyes would turn cold.

  "Woof woof woof! ——" Suddenly, the mutated military dog let out a loud bark and warning howl.

  Whoosh!

  A dark shadow flashed in the nearby withered grass and bush, rushing towards Liang Jing, no, it was actually rushing towards Su Yuting beside Liang Jing...

  "Be careful!"

  "Not good!"

  People who react quickly are shocked in an instant, shouting out loud, and at this moment a white light halo follows Liang Jing's movements towards the black shadow. The tail of this little light halo seems slow but actually attacks the target instantly.

  "Hiss!"

  The black shadow let out a pained screech and fell to the ground instantly, shocking everyone. What a huge snake!

  It was a huge snake with black and yellow stripes, over 10 meters long and more than 20 centimeters in diameter. At this time, the snake's eyes were white, and after everyone's shock, they reacted and immediately wanted to rush up and kill it completely.

  "Slow down, don't move your hands first."

  Liang Jing hastily stopped him, because at this moment the mutated king cobra in front of him had already woken up. Recalling clearly, it had been enslaved by Liang Jing's "Enticing Light". Previously, due to the Golden Eagle plan, all the slaves and undead zombies controlled by "Enticing Light", including 'Huang Ge', had died and been destroyed. Now this mutated king cobra came just in time.

  "This variant king cobra has been tamed by me, well, it's one of us now." Liang Jing explained to the crowd as they watched the variant king cobra wake up with a mixture of confusion and panic.

  "So that's how it is, Liang Ge you're really formidable, actually easily taming these extremely ferocious monsters."

  "Yes, it's too powerful, if I were also an Awakener, I would have such abilities too."

  ……

  Everyone looked at the mutated king cobra in front of them, and indeed did not intend to attack anyone again. They couldn't help but praise him, Liang Jing was really too powerful. With just this ability to tame monsters, he could rank among the top among all awakened ones. At the same time, they envied him in their hearts, but soon shook their heads. This is fate, who made themselves not awakened? Moreover, many awakened ones were far inferior compared to Liang Jing.

  "This world has changed too much, and this stinky king snake has also become so powerful and terrifying."

  Among the cheers of the crowd, Liang Jing directly ordered the new apprentice's younger brother, Wang Jin Snake, to leave and go to where they had just fought against the giant golden eagle to investigate the situation.

  They walked for about half an hour, crossing a small stream along the way, and killing several more mutated creatures in the process. They also successfully enslaved two mutated wolves. The abundance of mutated wolves here filled Liang Jing with questions, as this phenomenon was clearly abnormal.

  "We're here, this is it."

  About a hundred meters away from the small stream, Liang Jing led everyone to a cave entrance. This place is not far from the small mountain peak where they previously discovered the giant golden eagle. It was a discovery that Liang Jing had stumbled upon earlier. The cave inside was very large and all the strange creatures within had been cleared by Liang Jing.

  The cave is not deep, the distance from the entrance to the bottom of the cave is less than 100 meters, but it is very spacious, with a maximum width of 20-30 meters. The top of the cave is over 10 meters high, making it feel very empty and hollow. It would be easy for a dozen or so people to live there with just one fire.

  "Shouldn't there be any variant monsters inside?" Wu Aiguo looked into the cave and asked weakly.

  Others also have concerns, they have suffered a lot of attacks from mutated monsters along the way, and they can't help but worry that such caves are not places where powerful monsters like to stay?

  "Don't worry, I've already cleared out the monsters inside." Facing everyone's doubts, Liang Jing observed the mini-map again, and indeed there were no more monsters inside, and he had gone in first.

  With Liang Jing taking the lead, everyone else didn't have any doubts. Liang Jing wouldn't possibly want to harm them; even if he did, there was no need to go through so much trouble - just take action and no one would be able to escape from this place. Soon, a fire was lit in the spacious cave, and everyone was marveling at how it was like a grand hall, where a hundred or two people could easily fit with some squeezing. Of course, ordinary people wouldn't dare come here even if they could; the mutated monsters along the way were already enough to deter them. Later on, there would be issues with firewood, food, and safety - what's the point of coming in if you can't stay? If you do stay, then the mutated monsters won't find their way here, right?

  Inside, there were three or four small cave branches, just enough to be used as rooms. Liang Jing naturally occupied one of them, and the rest he didn't care about. Whether someone wanted to live there or dared to live there was a problem. Hehe, in such a place, most people would think it's safer to stick together.

  Liang Jing replicated over a hundred short knives in the 'room' he had chosen, then called Jia Yu Jin to come in. He also took off all the metal armor on his body, and without needing Jia Yu Jin to say anything, he knew what was going to happen next.

  "Don't worry, leave it to me!" Jia Yujin nodded vigorously and said to Liang Jing.

  "Hmm, that's right, no need to apply camouflage to the armor now, even if I want to be low-key it won't work; later I'll go out for a walk and should get some gains, I'll let the highly toxic ripper guard the entrance, you tell them to be careful, generally there shouldn't be any problems."

  "By the way, Old Jia, keep an eye on that Ling Qinghe. If he makes any wrong move, just...". As she spoke, a fierce glint flashed across Liang Jing's face, and her eyes shone with cold light. When it came to enemies, Liang Jing was always decisive and thorough, and made no distinction between men and women.

  "Huh? Ah Jing, isn't that Ling Qinghe? What's wrong with Ling Qinghe now?" Jia Yujin looked puzzled but quickly nodded in understanding; everyone had seen how Ling Qinghe had been acting towards Liang Jing over this period of time, and in their hearts, Ling Qinghe was already Liang Jing's person. So why did Liang Jing still have this order? Moreover, wasn't Ling Qinghe doing well now, without any unfavorable actions? Even when they were surrounded and in a life-or-death situation, there hadn't been any signs of betrayal.

  "Hmm... I don't know, but somehow I feel that Ling Qinghe is a bit of a problem, always feeling like he's hard to grasp. It's better to be careful. Liang Jing actually didn't feel too good about it himself, but if he really did something unfavorable, he wouldn't hesitate. Of course, he couldn't directly say what he saw on the small map, some things were better left unsaid. After all, even if the other person wouldn't harm him, knowing more people would only increase the danger. He just casually explained it away."

  "Alright, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Jia Yugui was most at ease with his four trusted subordinates, the Four Great Golden Guardians. The four of them had always been inseparable from him, sharing life and death together, a bond forged in iron. As for what Liang Jing said, Jia Yugui didn't have much thought about it, only thinking that since Liang Jing was so formidable, he must have his reasons, and he believed more than half of Liang Jing's judgment, silently taking note to be cautious around Ling Qinghe.

  "Old Jia, after this, go into the crowd and recruit some people..." Then Liang Jing again had a good talk with Jia Yujin about his own plans, and after discussing them, the two of them consulted for a while before Liang Jing left satisfied.

  "Don't worry! Ah Jing, I'm at home."

  Jia Yukin saw Liang Jing's back, as straight as a mountain, and looked at the metal armor in his hand that had been damaged by the machine gun. His face flashed with emotions such as depression, excitement, pain, and guilt. He knew the capabilities of the metal armor he had made himself, and being hit like this was unimaginable. Liang Jing must have received a huge impact at that time, and probably still suffered severe injuries now, but didn't show it.

  Hate! Oh hate! So hateful!

  Jia Yukin hated himself for being incompetent, resenting his own lack of strength, and could only let Liang Jing face the enemy time and again, with all sorts of feelings gnawing at him, his heart filled with a longing for power.

  Liang Jing didn't care what Jia Yujin was thinking now, and came to the main hall of the cave, seeing that everyone was already preparing dinner. It's really suitable for living here, there is a hole on one side of the cave which has a good ventilation effect for the smoke generated by the fire; Wu Yong had woken up, seemingly wanting to say something, but unfortunately, facing the cunning mouse and Wang Meng, he didn't have any chance, could only honestly sulk and stay still, feeling depressed in his heart, miscalculated, what a miscalculation.

  "Yu Ting is going out with me." Liang Jing shouted at Su Yu Ting who was helping with the cooking, without paying much attention.

  But Su Yu Ting's face and ear roots suddenly turned red, feeling suffocated in her heart that this dead man could do so in front of so many people, yet she followed Liang Jing very naturally.
