Walker Of The Worlds

Hong Luo took a deep breath and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Lin Mu, as you can see, we don't have many cultivators left here. While we have many mercenaries in the Body tempering realm, there are only the three of us left here now." Hong Luo spoke.

"Only three of you? The last time I came here there were at least ten cultivators here. Where did everyone go?" Lin Mu interrupted.

While Lin Mu had known that a few mercenaries that were also cultivators had disappeared, there were still at least ten cultivators remaining. Now that there were only three of them left here, it was a little surprising to him.

"Another elite team of mercenaries had to leave for the mission in the Northern forest about a week ago. I was appointed to keep watch on the camp and to relay any message to the teams working in the forest, but as you can see the incident happened." Hong Luo spoke and sighed.

"Then did you inform your superiors about this?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Yes, I did. But the problem is that the elite teams are hunting spirit beasts deep in the forest. Just reaching their location would maybe take around five days, and if we were to add the time required to find them, it would be increased even more."

"I sent one of my junior cultivators to inform them about three days ago, but I fear that by the time they know about this, something worse could have happened." Hong Luo answered.

Lin Mu was now starting to understand more about their current predicament.

"Then what you require from me is help?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, we do." Hong Luo simply answered.

"But why me?" Lin Mu curiously asked.

Hong Luo and the other two sighed in helplessness upon hearing Lin Mu's words.
