Chapter 185: The First Wave of Attacks of the Otherworldly Version of the Civet Cat Substituted for
Seeing Kong Huasheng nodding silently, Li Mulan's eyes gradually lit up.
"It seems that the child I gave birth to was not Xiaoru, but was replaced by that bitch using despicable means."
"If that's the case, then our child is still alive, right?"
"Probably!"
Although Kong Huasheng said this, he didn't think so in his heart.
In order to avoid exposing his fact of child swapping, Shi Tiehua planned to kill Xiaoru, and his biological child would probably be in danger as well.
He did not explain it just to prevent Li Mulan from getting hit any further and to let her keep a little hope in her heart.
In fact, Li Mulan also thought of this possibility, but she didn't want to believe it, nor did she dare to think about it.
Li Mulan grabbed Kong Huasheng's hands and said, "Watson, you must find him."
"Don't worry, I'm already doing it."

Mithril Mine
Li Yuanba took Lu Ming and others to leave Chiyun City and head towards the interior of the great plain.
Ah Le asked curiously: "Brother, where are we going?"
"Nebula City, where the mithril quota is decided."
"Nebula City? Why is the Mithril quota decided there?"
Li Yuanba organized his words and began to introduce Nebula City.
"Nebula City is the most powerful entity in the entire Mithril Mining Area. It controls almost all the Mithril in the entire mining area."
"Whether it is the mithril mined in the town or the mithril intercepted by the bandits, it will eventually be sent to Nebula City and sold to the public by Nebula City."
"The reason why Nebula City has the power to control the Mithril in the entire Mithril Mine Area is because of the power behind it."
“Although no country has been established in the Mithril Mining Area, the countries on the continent will not give up this big piece of fat meat.
You must know that mithril is very precious and is a very important war material. The empire will not allow mithril to flow out.
Due to historical reasons, the major forces in the mithril mining area also disagreed with the Empire establishing a country there. The two sides then negotiated that the mithril could be handed over to the Empire for disposal.
Of course, the Empire will also give a reasonable price."
After listening to Li Yuanba's introduction, A Le immediately understood everything.
"So, the ruler of Nebula City is the Empire of Destiny!"
Li Yuanba shook his head slowly: "Nebula City is not controlled by the Empire, but by the Ice and Snow Kingdom, one of the three great kingdoms."
"Ice and Snow Kingdom!"
"why is that?"
"Because the Ice and Snow Kingdom is the least ambitious of the three kingdoms, and its founder has a special relationship with the royal family of the Empire of Life, it became the controller of Nebula City."
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, Nebula City is actually still under the control of the Empire."
"more or less."
Everyone chatted as they walked along.
After walking a hundred miles, the ground began to shake, and the shaking came from far away and became more and more violent.
"Be alert, a large number of enemies are approaching!"
Li Yuanba and his men are experienced and they know that such a shock can only be caused by a large number of enemy troops.
Just as Li Yuanba and his men became alert, the enemy appeared.
"It's a burrowing beast."
Li Yuanfang recognized what it was at a glance.
The burrowing beast is about the size of an adult Alaskan dog, with black and gray scales all over its body. It has strong resistance to elements and cannot be attacked by any elements.
Although the burrowing beast does not have elemental attacks, its combat power is equally strong.
It has a pair of claws that can split mountains and rocks. Any mountain is like a piece of tofu in front of it and can be easily pierced through.
A Le looked at the burrowing beast that appeared and couldn't help but gasp.
"Hiss, this number is really terrifying."
There are indeed quite a lot of burrowing beasts in this wave, nearly a thousand of them, and this force can completely destroy some small towns.
Seeing so many monsters appear, Li Yuanba looked excited.
"Haha, finally there's a chance for a big fight."
"Take my golden hammer!"
With the Lei Gu Weng and the golden hammer in his hands, Li Yuanba exudes domineering aura.
"Second brother, third brother, let's see who can kill more monsters!"
"it is good"
Lu Ming agreed without hesitation.
He never rejects fighting, especially fighting with monsters, he is even more eager for it!
Every battle with a monster means an increase in strength, and he will not miss such an opportunity.
The muscles on Ah Le's face twitched slightly: "Two perverts."
Although he also likes fighting, he doesn't dare to go into battle shirtless when facing so many monsters.
Moreover, the bone-cutting knife was broken, and he had no suitable weapon. He did not dare to charge into battle and could only stay with the others to defend.
"kill"
Li Yuanba shouted loudly and rushed forward with the golden hammer in his hand.
Lu Ming was not willing to be outdone. He took a step forward, arrived later but was the first to rush into the group of monsters.
The remaining people, under the arrangement of Li Yuanfang, launched a defense.
Li Yuanba's group consisted of only a dozen people, but each of them was a Hanlin and was very powerful.
They were not afraid even if the enemy was nearly a thousand burrowing beasts, not to mention that they also had the great master Li Yuanfang.
To put it bluntly, once Li Yuanfang made a move, these burrowing beasts would not survive for more than a minute.
At this time, Lu Ming and Li Yuanba had already gone deep into the burrowing beasts and were besieged by these monsters. There were so many monsters that they could not see their figures.
Ah Le asked curiously, "Senior Li, aren't you going to protect the prince?"
"Are you not afraid that something might happen to him?"
Li Yuanfang smiled slightly: "Although these digging beasts are powerful and numerous, they are still not enough to cause any harm to Your Highness."
He looked at Ah Le: "Aren't you worried about Lu Ming? He is not like my prince, he is just a Jinshi-level fortune teller."
"I do need to worry, but I'm not worried about Lu Ming's safety. I'm worried about whether these burrowing beasts are enough to kill him."
Li Yuanfang was slightly startled, and secretly complained in his heart: "Nearly a thousand monsters are not enough to kill? This is even more exaggerated than the flying bull!"
Behind the monsters, a group of hundreds of Mithril bandits gathered together.
"boom"
The ground in front exploded, and a burrowing beast popped out, followed by a figure emerging from the tunnel it had dug.
"Jin San is back."
With a shout, all the bandits focused their attention on Jin San.
"Get out of my way, everyone."
A bandit with extraordinary aura stood out from the crowd. He was the leader of this group of bandits, named Zheng Sanpao.
He walked up to Jin San and asked anxiously.
"Jin San, how is the matter going?"
"Don't worry, Boss. I, Jin San, will not miss anything!"
"When I left, they were already fighting with the herd of burrowing beasts."
Zheng Sanpao smiled and said, "It's good to fight. Once the battle is over, we will go clean up the battlefield."
"The Mithril Treasure Map must be mine!"
Not far from Zheng Sanpao's group of bandits, Shichui was staying here.
Chen Yuan walked over quickly and said, "Your Highness, Zheng Sanpao and his men have attracted the digging beasts to launch a surprise attack on Li Yuanba and his men."
Shi Chui smiled when he heard this.
"This Zheng Sanpao is quite smart. He actually knows how to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
"Continue to observe the battlefield. If the situation permits, we will enter!"
Zheng Sanpao planned to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but unexpectedly, he himself became the mantis preying on the cicada!
