Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 266 - 266 Different Decisions


266 Different Decisions

The screen flickered slightly, and in the blink of an eye, it had switched back to the blue background of the news report. The news anchor, who was dressed in a formal suit, said with a serious expression, “Currently, the damaged city walls of Lushui County are being repaired as soon as possible. The local City Defense Army has also organized hundreds of people to increase the intensity of patrol security by three times.

“Here, I would like to remind the personnel of Lushui County and the surrounding villages to pay attention to their own safety. Please refrain from going to places with little surveillance such as the jungle and barren mountains in the next few days.

“That’s all for this news report. Next…”

...

On the phone screen, a list of staff members flashed from the bottom to the top. After the news broadcast ended, the researcher realized that Wu Mo was standing next to him.

“Wu Mo, why are you here so early?”

The young researcher immediately stood up and spoke in a flustered tone.

He looked at Wu Mo with a rattled expression, feeling guilty as if he had been caught slacking off at work.

“I didn’t leave yesterday.”

Wu Mo smiled and immediately sat down on the couch.

“When did this happen? Why don’t I know about this?”

Wu Mo pointed at the phone screen, where the news anchor was sorting out the information, and probed curiously.

The young researcher heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that Mr. Wu was not reprimanding him.

“It’s about what happened last night. The place that was attacked by monsters is called Lushui County. It’s one of the more remote cities in the White River province.

“I don’t know why, but there have been many incidents of monsters attacking the city, and space-time cracks have also appeared frequently. It’s really unsettling.”

The young researcher sighed.

Wu Mo nodded slightly. Once a spatial crack was opened, hundreds of monsters would rush out.

It was nothing special, but these monsters seemed to have a purpose. They crossed three to five kilometers and attacked Lushui County, which was rare.

The giant gorilla in the previous scene, especially, was not only extremely strong, but it was also so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

In just a few breaths, it had covered a distance of several hundred meters. Even the head captain of the City Defense Army could not catch up, let alone the ordinary members.

Even with a rough estimate, the gorilla’s strength was at least above Rank 6.

Such a fierce beast would usually just appear in medium-sized and large-scale war zones. Lushui County was merely an ordinary city, so it was particularly strange for a Rank 6 monster to materialize there.

He could only hope that the local City Defense Army would be able to settle the matter at the soonest. After all, even the cultivators on the front line would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with a Rank 6 beast in the war zone, more so in a restricted city area.

If they had to gather the City Defense Army to surround and kill the beasts, they needed to evacuate the residents in advance.

If he could not settle this quickly, the beast would only cause more and more deaths for no reason.

That was not what anyone wanted to see.

Wu Mo looked away and went downstairs to have breakfast. He had not been getting much good rest recently, so his work and rest schedule had become a bit chaotic. The reason he could maintain good spirit every day was the delicious and nutritious food in the Research Department’s cafeteria.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Wu Mo ordered some food and sat down in a corner.

While waiting for his meal, Wu Mo took out his phone to browse the Research Department’s forum to see if they had developed any new technology.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there were two unread messages on his phone.

A little stunned, he subconsciously opened it and realized that it was a message from Bald Eagle.

The message had been sent at six o’clock last night, when he was still immersed in his research, so he did not notice it.

He glanced at the content of the message. The general meaning was, the military had found an abnormal fluctuation of spiritual power around Lushui County, and they had sent Bald Eagle, as well as Lone Wolf, who were not far away, to investigate.

They would be back tomorrow afternoon.

After seeing the two words “Lushui County,” Wu Mo frowned because he realized that he had learned about the beast attack there through the news joint broadcast.

What he did not expect was that Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf had actually gone to that place in advance.

After understanding the matter, Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. With the two generals of the special forces, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf, in Lushui County, this would definitely be resolved quickly.

While he was thinking, a burst of fragrance hit his face, directly interrupting his thoughts.

Once he saw the delicious-looking food in front of him, Wu Mo immediately picked up his chopsticks and ate.

At the same time, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf stood at the door outside Lushui County’s City Defense Command Station. Both of them looked indignant as if they had a small conflict.

“Great… A Rank 6 Gray Howler is hiding in such a large county city. Even if we send out another 100 people, we won’t be able to find it.”

Lone Wolf’s face was cold, and when he said this, he sounded like he had already given up.

Bald Eagle snorted. “I didn’t let you chase it because your leg’s injured. You can’t do high-intensity exercises, and you need to rest. Who knew that you wouldn’t know what’s good for you and blame me for the beast’s escape?

“Besides, that Rank 6 Gray Howler’s flesh has been tempered to the extreme, and it can travel up to 100 meters in two seconds. Even if I ask you to catch up, you wouldn’t be able to!”

The autumn wind was blowing in the courtyard, and as Lone Wolf looked at the bare trees, he said, “We’ll only know if we can catch up after we make a move. How can you be the leader of Eagle Team if you have such unnecessary fears?”

Seeing that Lone Wolf was still being stubborn, Bald Eagle got so angry that he laughed.

“So what if you managed to catch up to him? Can you defeat that Rank 6 Gray Howler alone? Not to mention, your leg’s injured. You might not be able to take down that beast alone even if you were at your peak!

“When the Gray Howler starts a riot in the city and innocents are killed or injured, can you bear the responsibility alone?”

Bald Eagle’s words made Lone Wolf, who was standing with his hands behind his back, silent for a few seconds.

His face was a little red as he straightened his neck. “If you’re not blind, you should have seen what happened last night. I used the Spirit Wave Sword to cut off the Gray Howler’s right arm vertically. If I had a chance at that time, I could have even cut off its head!”

Toward the end of his sentence, a gloating look flashed across Lone Wolf’s face.

It was as if he was saying, “Look at how useless you are, not even daring to give chase. I can cut off the arm of a Rank 6 beast although I’m injured.”

However, Bald Eagle ignored what Lone Wolf said. In his opinion, Lone Wolf was simply twisting words and acting willfully.

If he had not stepped in to stop him yesterday, things would have gotten even more serious.
