However, it was a piece of cake for Su Mo, who possessed the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll Card.

He could simply paste the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll Card that contained the pseudo-divine power of the Heavenly Dog God on Liu Jiao.

In no time, the scars on her body could heal instantly!

“Uhh…uhh?”

Liu Jiao subconsciously tried to avoid Su Mo’s hand when he first reached out but remembered who he was and then stopped resisting. She stood straight in a daze and was highly stiff on the spot.

Her stiffness immediately turned into surprise after she heard the word “regain” from Su Mo’s mouth.

She was not concerned with beauty, but the scars inevitably became a memory that haunted her heart and repeated in her mind day and night.

“Wait for me patiently and keep everyone safe. I’ll restore you to your original appearance when I’m back!”

Liu Jiao showed a rare look of “confusion.”

Her reaction caused a gentle smile to form on Su Mo’s face.

In the past, when he had just crossed into the wasteland, Su Mo would have taken out the card and treated her without hesitation in the same situation.

However, now that he had become a territory lord and experienced different situations in the doomsday wasteland and deserted ruins, he had already grown. He understood that it was necessary to look at the bigger picture and take precautions.

The situation in the cave could be taken as an example.

Many laborers had injuries on their bodies, and some had even more severe wounds than Liu Jiao. Only giving her treatment at the moment would inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the hearts of the others.

It would become a hassle for Liu Jiao’s leadership in the next few days and make the subsequent reward and punishment laws seem unfair when they were taken back into the basin.

It would be best that he use it as a reward for tasks given to them. This was the most suitable way to manage those under him.

As predicted, after hearing the condition that was given to restore her appearance, the excitement in Liu Jia’s eyes faded, but her stiffened body also gradually relaxed.

“I’ll do my best while waiting for your return!”

Su Mo glanced at the large words written on the ground and nodded gently before he turned to leave dashingly.

…

After breakfast, they packed pre-made lunch, checked their equipment, geared up, and extracted information stored inside Scout Robot No. 2.

The expedition team set out from the Cliff Territory at seven twenty-seven in the morning.

This time, the 100-people team had left three soldiers to protect the cliff territory and brought the Liu brothers as guides, bringing the number of the team to 99.

The two brothers had lived in East Long Mountain for a considerable time and had spent a lot of time consolidating defensive measures around the mountain.

They were indeed very familiar with the way down the mountain.

It took just a little over an hour for the team led by the Liu brothers to successfully descend East Long Mountain and reach the first mountain of Eight Peaks Mountain.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Su Mo instructed everyone to regather themselves and take a break.

He took out his sensor and successfully retrieved Scout Robot No.3 at the foot of the mountain within five to six minutes.

“Ha! It didn’t disappoint me this time!”

He was already familiar with the sequence of taking out and inserting the memory card. He extracted the route information and returned to the team excitedly.

The Liu brothers, who stayed in front of the teams, noticed that Su Mo was in a good mood and gradually approached him and began introducing the surroundings cordially.

“Shel…shelter leader, the mountain ahead is the first mountain of the Eight Peak Mountain, which we usually call Great King Mountain!

“There are wide varieties of wild fruits that grow on the mountain and taste really strong. They usually have a sweetish sour taste. There is a kind of red round fruit that can treat common diseases such as diarrhea and colds.You can also crush the core and apply it to an injury to speed up the healing process. We named it the…Little Healing Fruit!

“The mountain’s terrain is relatively flat, and there is one human gathering place on it. My brother Liu Jie is really familiar with the route. We can go from here if you would like to check it out. The journey there will take about 40 minutes!”

The two had changed their address to him from Almighty Su to shelter leader and seemed much more familiar with him.

They even addressed him much more cordially than the soldiers on the team, as if they were originally residents of the territory.

“Oh? Have you come into contact with this group of people before?”

Su Mo looked at them and teasingly uncovered their intentions.

The basin had four neighboring territories that were separated by hundreds of kilometers.

It had not been that long, but there had already been countless tests, cooperation, wars, and schemes against one another.

East Long Mountain and Great King Mountain were no different.

It only took two to three hours to travel up and down both mountains, and it was a very short distance between them.

Even a ghost would not believe there was no conflict or battle between them.

“Ha! You sure are all-knowing, shelter leader!”

After Su Mo had revealed their secret motives, Liu Zhi scratched his head in embarrassment and explained the situation.

“Shelter leader, you must not be aware that this group of people are incredibly fierce and aggressive. Although we have guns, unless forced to open fire, we don’t have the guts to fire at another person.

“This group of people isn’t the same. Despite not having guns, they have some homemade bows and arrows. They often ambush and rob the supplies of people who pass by.”

Liu Jie, who could not articulate well, also added information at the mention of the group of people.

“We encountered them previously when trying to bring people to East Long Mountain. These people stopped us, and it would have broken out in a fight if we weren’t armed with guns. It would have been impossible for us to escape otherwise!”

After getting through the most challenging part in the beginning stages, humans’ means of attack were no longer limited to ordinary swords and spears.

Similar to the evolution of primitive hunting, bows and crossbows had become the standard for most territorial defenses and most hunting teams.

Su Mo maintained a calm expression as he listened to the vivid descriptions of the brothers, but his heart secretly became more vigilant of the surroundings.

“We already had plans to go through this road, and it seems inevitable that we will meet them!”

The route that Liu Jie had pointed out was basically the same as the best route according to the scout robot.

They would have to hike through the mountain along a safe path, and unless the opponents were deaf, they would spot them immediately with the large movements of their large team.

Su Mo decided they had to strike first against the murderers that had no consideration for human life. He summoned Feng Tianmin and quickly divided the team into two teams, entering into a combat state.

The first team was the commando team that would directly invade the camp to scout the area, led by Su Mo and Oreo serving as the vanguard.

The second team was the ambush team which would ascend the mountain from a different direction to surround them from both sides and would be led by Feng Tianmin.

Arrangements were made, and the team rested for ten minutes.

The team quickly set off without hesitation after Su Mo gave the order.

In ten minutes, the two teams marched smoothly and quickly reached 1,300 meters away from the murderer’s territory.

Twenty minutes later, the commando team progressed a little faster and reached 800 meters away from the murderer’s territory before the other team.

Forty minutes later, the progress of the two teams was the same again, and they both touched within 500 meters of the murderer’s territory simultaneously.

“There are no signs of people?”

Seeing that the opponent’s entrance was in sight, but no one was defending it, Oreo instantly went up to investigate, then quickly returned, shaking her head.

Su Mo immediately had a prediction in his heart and immediately ordered the team to drop their camouflage to approach at full speed.

They were at a far distance of 200 meters from their target but could already smell something coming from the cave entrance.

It was the pungent smell of blood!
