Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

This time, Lu Meng used two modules: "Appearance Fixation" and "Animal Recruitment".

Even the shadow man, who was good at hiding, didn't notice anything strange.

I really didn’t think about it.

After all, this goes beyond stealth.

Therefore, when Lu Meng was attacked by the spore poisonous mist at the beginning, he would not be seriously injured, which was considered as an insurance policy for himself.

Just to take care of the little princess who was in the same room, he still tried his best.

However, Lu Meng still kept an eye on it.

Even though he had captured the Kage, he did not get too close to him and let Seto handle any contact in order to avoid the risk of the ship capsizing.

After all, if only Seto was knocked down, he could still control the situation.

But if Lu Meng is killed and the little princess is left, she can only be blinded.

Of course, this does not rule out the fact that he wants to test the opponent's methods...

Now it seems that the shadow man did leave countermeasures around him, maybe some hallucinogenic drugs, but they are not fatal; the other party did not act cruelly, it is considered a passive effect.

Let’s tell Seto about this tomorrow.

Just think of it as a long lesson...it's the first lesson.

Lu Meng put away the tangless knife, replaced the module with five times the experience and rapid manufacturing, and prepared to go to the blacksmith workshop in Stone Town to forge new weapons the next day.

First, get the drawings and molds out, and then get familiar with the process.

During the cooling period of the module, you can take a good rest and recharge your batteries for the first time in a long time.

Next, it’s time to head to the center of the swamp.

…

…

Within days, residents noticed noticeable changes.

Shizhen, which had been sealed off for a long time, opened its city gates for the first time and began to allow people to enter and exit.

Although those who go out of the city are mainly liaison officers sent to various places.

But it was an opening after all.

Many people still have the impression that someone was attacked by swamp ninjas before going out of the city. The incident caused an uproar among the people, but Shi Zhen's reaction was very cold.

There is no retaliation, just staying behind closed doors.

Looks very weak.

This makes people wonder that the new owner who occupies Stone Town may not be as tough as he initially appeared.

Has the situation improved after only such a short period of time?

If Shizhen is allowed to enter and leave again this time, aren't we afraid of being attacked by swamp ninjas again...

They didn't know what was going on, and it was normal for them to think so.

Some people are secretly starting to make moves.

The new owners of Stone Town generally treat everyone much more generously than the Stone Rats in the past, but not everyone can accept this situation.

For example, those who originally relied on serving the Stone Rat Group and enjoyed a lot of small profits in their daily lives.

Of course, this phenomenon itself cannot be eradicated after the swamp people move in.

But after a wave of people changed, their position was always gone.

Such a gap is difficult to accept.

It just so happened that while they were serving the Stone Rats, someone had already come into contact with the lurking swamp ninja spy, so they were hedging their bets.

At present, Shizhen has changed its owner and the city gate is wide open.

Naturally, I thought that I could go out of the city and contact the swamp ninjas outside.

After all, in their minds, the people who manage Shizhen are basically just weaklings in the village and cannot stand for a long time.

The Water Tribe is also a traditional old faction.

No matter what, it is more acceptable to let them make the decision than to let the swamp people stand up.

When these people went out in twos and threes, they were surprisingly not subject to too strict questioning and searches, and left Shizhen very smoothly.

This made them more certain that Shi Zhen was already empty inside.

Not even decent protection is available.

However, what happened next was something they didn't expect.

They did meet the Swamp Ninja.

But the swamp ninja was also accompanied by Shi Zhen's guards.

"What wave is this?" Ah Quan counted down at random, "Throw away those things... um, 'reform through labor'."

The chuunin captain of the Swamp Ninja stood aside silently, resigned to what happened.

They ignored the complaints from these potential insiders and left everything to Seokjin.

Without him, it's all the orders from the shadow man's boss.

Lu Meng could ignore the secret lines of loyalty that some swamp ninjas had developed long ago. They just needed a directory for filing - these people were actually equivalent to spies who obeyed orders.

As for those who don't know the inside information and still want to join the swamp ninjas when trouble comes.

He is undoubtedly a traitor who cannot see which way the wind is blowing.

It's the same whether it's Shi Zhen or the swamp ninja.

Among the swamp ninjas at the bottom, many people didn't have a bad impression of Lu Meng.

After all, in the battle of the Stone Rat Regiment’s camp.

But there were many brothers who were ‘saved’ by him.

This incident later became a topic of conversation among the Water Tribe.

With this as a foreshadowing, when the Shadowman boss announced that the other party was one of his own, most swamp ninjas were not even surprised. On the contrary, they felt that it was indeed the case:

Shadow man, you finally stopped pretending.

That's it? Boss, all the brothers know...

The sense of oppression that he had been being targeted by the Red Sword Group and being in crisis suddenly dissipated a lot.

The shadow man has laid out his own strategy to this day, even wiping out an established swamp force.

Are there any difficulties that their boss can't solve? Just obey the orders honestly.

As for the occupied Shizhen.

From now on, he will be his brother.

Anyone who dares to go against him is being disrespectful to us swamp ninjas!

Ah Quan was quite emotional.

As one of the first people to follow Mr. Lu in the swamp, he was personally present at almost every major event along the way.

But the development of things always exceeded his expectations.

There are more and more versions of the rumors, and they are becoming more complicated and bizarre.

Even Ah Quan himself couldn't tell which ones were true and which ones were false.

Perhaps this is the real norm.

Every legend on the continent is like this.

But what Ah Quan can be sure of is that realistically, the crisis in Shizhen has been temporarily lifted. Unless they are forcibly attacked, they have definitely gained a firm foothold.

As an ordinary villager born and raised in Huangshui Village, he did not expect it.

One day, he would actually be able to come to the legendary and unreachable Stone Rat Town... no, Stone Town, and hold his head high, even the swamp ninjas would have to cooperate with his orders.

This can really be said to be the gears of fate starting to turn.

And all of this started when... he took away the 'girl' on the bed...

Thinking of this, Ah Quan suddenly felt not very good.

At this moment, it is the only blacksmith shop in Stone Town.

A pot of still water suddenly boiled, and a strange-shaped scimitar was slowly drawn out, and the red color faded.

The white-haired young man's civilian clothes were tied around his waist. His upper body muscles were taut, and his movements were as smooth as a stream.

He clamped the heavy blade with an iron clamp and looked at it carefully.

The bee man on the side couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is..."
