The changes that had taken place in Dunhuang took Li Mu by surprise.
This place was like a big bazaar crowded with all kinds of people. Besides white people, Li Mu also saw some black people from the grasslands of the Great East Continent as well as some indigenous people from primitive forests who wore grass skirts, leading black leopards by their bridles, and holding stone weapons in their hands.
Most of them had extraordinary energy waves in their bodies. They had reached at least the Great Master Realm, and some of them had even entered the Heavenly Realm.
It seemed that all the practitioners across the world had gathered here.
“Following the fission of many famous mountains and great rivers, the distance from Mount Shu to Dunhuang had been greatly enlarged. How did those people from the Great East Continent and the Far West Continent come to Dunhuang?”
Li Mu found it very strange.
This world might have undergone some very strange changes that he didn’t notice upon his arrival.
“Let’s go to the base of Dunhuang Branch first.”
Li Mu and the Husky General followed the two men who wore the uniforms of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance to the base of Dunhuang Branch.
As expected, the Husky General attracted many people’s attention along the way.
“Ha-ha, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone keeping a husky as a pet. It looks pretty cool, but I don’t know how good it is at fighting.”
“Given their low intelligence quotient, huskies can’t even tell friend from foe, not to mention other things. I’m really worried about that young man’s safety. The husky might bite off his heel while he is fighting.”
“Huskies are also known for their “disappearing” act. They have a tendency to disappear at any time while in your care.”
Li Mu heard all kinds of comments about his dog.
He was rendered speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He had to admit that the Husky General was indeed so unreliable.
In fact, the Husky General was not to be blamed. It was just that huskies were genetically inclined to be unreliable. They were said to be the stupidest among the three species of sled dogs.
“Woof, human pet, let me go. I’m going to bite them to death.” The Husky General was very angry when he heard the people jeering at him.
The passers-by didn’t know about the Husky General’s destructive power. If Li Mu hadn’t managed to hold him back, he would probably have eaten those passers-by alive.
“Wow, this big dog looks awesome.” A childlike voice rang out.
The infuriated Husky quieted down at once.
A well-developed, beautiful young woman stood next to him. She had on red lipstick, a black miniskirt, a white round-neck T-shirt, and red high heels. She had black wavy hair and tender, white skin. She was holding a little brown poodle in her arms. The childlike voice came from this little brown poodle.
Li Mu was a little surprised when he saw the poodle.
“A poodle that can talk?
“It seems that the world has really changed.”
“Wow, hello, little girl. You’re cuter than me.” The Husky suddenly became a very polite gentleman. However, he looked like a weirdo who was trying to abduct an underage girl.
The beautiful young woman looked at Li Mu from head to toe, glanced at the Husky, and then frowned. Obviously, she regarded this man and his dog as predators from which she should stay away.
“My brother, you can also speak human language, right?” The poodle was greatly surprised. Then, it became very excited and struggled to jump out of the beautiful young woman’s arms. “I’m not a little girl, but a little boy. It’s the first time I’ve seen a dog that can speak human language.”
“Is it a male dog?”
Li Mu was shocked again.
The little brown poodle was wearing a pink check shirt, a pink hairpin on its hair, and a pink cell phone bag on its neck. It looked like a female dog, and even its voice... sounded so attractive. Could it be that it was gay?
“How many times have I told you not to talk to indecent dogs? Kaka, let’s go.” The beautiful young woman’s voice sounded very tough, but it was tinged with a mesmerizing feminine charm.
She took the little brown poodle into her arms and was about to leave.
“Alas, mom, no. I just met a dog that can speak the human language...” Kaka struggled desperately.
“A dog that can speak human language?”
Li Mu rubbed his forehead.
“Why does it sound so weird?”
Kaka, the little poodle, nimbly took out a cell phone in a pink case from the cell phone bag with its paws, and said loudly, “My brother, may I have your WeChat ID, QQ number, or phone number? Leave your contact information so that we can get in touch and communicate with each other... and play the Glory of Kings together.”
“But... I don’t have a cell phone...” The Husky was dumbfounded.
The young woman walked away with the poodle in her arms.
The Husky suddenly became listless.
“Li Mu, I want a cell phone. Please buy me one and then create a WeChat account for me.” He turned his head and looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu said grumpily, “Exercise your paws first. We’ll talk about it when you can use a cell phone flexibly with your paws.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Husky suddenly stood up like a human being.
“What are you doing?” Li Mu asked warily.
“I’m doing some paw exercises.” The Husky raised his forelimb in a matter-of-fact way, straightened it, and showed five toes. “I have five fingers too. Ha-ha-ha, I’m the same as you stupid humans. Using a cell phone will not be a problem for me... By the way, Li Mu, help me buy some clothes. I want the same clothes as those worn by Kaka.”
Li Mu took a closer look at the dog’s paw.
“Damn it! He really has five fingers.
“However, given the fact that the world has changed so dramatically, can cell phones still be used?
“The distance between cities has increased infinitely, and the telecom cables and base stations have been cut off. How can the signals be transmitted?”
With this question, Li Mu came to the base of Dunhuang Branch of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance.
“Hmm?”
He found that the area in front of the gate of the premise was deserted, and there were very few people there. Withered leaves were falling, and the red gate was closed. Tens of young disciples wearing the uniforms of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance were standing at the gate. All of them were carrying loaded firearms vigilantly as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Most importantly, those disciples were wearing black flowers on their chests and white headbands... They were wearing mourning clothes.
“Some very important person from the Hero Martial arts Alliance has passed away.
“It seems that something is not right.”
Li Mu walked towards the gate.
“Stop! Who are you?”
The disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance suddenly tensed up. They unsheathed their swords and stopped Li Mu.
“Relax, I’m on your side,” Li Mu said, “I’m looking for… well, who is the person in charge of this base? What’s his name?”
He thought for a while, but he seemed to have forgotten the name of the person in charge of Dunhuang Branch of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance. He felt a little embarrassed.
Back then, he was an influential person and only remembered the mid-level and high-level officials of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance. Dunhuang was just a municipality, so he didn’t pay much attention to the person in charge of Dunhuang Branch.
Actually, he used to have a token for the senior leaders of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance. Unfortunately, it was smashed into powder by the ancestors of the six major clans during the fight in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.
“Humph, what a pompous person! He came to visit our director, but he does not even know our director’s name. He must be a spy from the Demon Coalition. Get him and his dog,” a disciple of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance with bright eyes and sword-like brows said loudly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The disciples unsheathed their sabers and swords.
They pointed their sabers and swords at Li Mu and the Husky.
Those young disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance stared at Li Mu with their eyes flashing with anger and hostility as if they could not wait to skin him alive.
