I Built a Home on the Back of the Black Tortoise

Chapter 6: Mino: I am a mutant.

“Who is Bloodbeard?” Mu Liang asked with an expressionless face.

Mino had no expression on her dirty face and she solemnly said: “Bloodbeard is a nearby bandit leader. He often robs small camps and tribes.”

“Hmph~~ You better let me go.”

The thief scout who was holding the bone knife, was shocked when he saw the two of them.

Suddenly the thief scout became arrogant and shouted: “Or else the boss will surely kill you two when he attacks your camp.”

According to his past experience, as long as they reported the name of their Boss Bloodbeard, ordinary people would not make things difficult for them.

“Wait, did you just say that your boss is going to attack our camp?” Mu Liang narrowed his eyes.

“Ah? I, I, I…… Did I say that?” The thief’s face changed, and he stammered.

“All four of you are scouts, right?” Mu Liang said indifferently.

“No, we’re just out for hunting.” The thief scout panicked and shook his head in denial.

If his boss Bloodbeard knew that he had leaked the news about the attack on the camp, he would be tied to a rope and dragged on the ground until he died.

“When are you going to attack our camp?”

Mu Liang picked up the bone knife next to him, pressed it against the thief scout’s chin, and said with a very calm tone: “I will only ask once. If I am not satisfied with your answer, this bone knife will go through your chin all the way to your brain.”

“I, I, I……” The thief scout looked at the young man in horror. He could tell from his eyes that the other party was not joking.

“It seems that you are willing to die and go to hell for Bloodbeard.” Mu Liang’s mouth curled slightly, and the bone knife in his hand moved forward.

“No, I’ll say it. I’ll say everything.”

The thief scout tilted his chin up and shouted in horror, “I really don’t know when Bloodbeard will attack your camp. I only know that he has already made such a decision. That’s why he sent us to scout out the situation.”

“You really don’t know when he will attack?” Mu Liang’s voice turned cold.

“I really don’t know, but it usually doesn’t take more than three days.” The thief scout even told them about the unspoken rules of the thieves in order to survive.

Mu Liang asked a few more questions, and just as the thief scout breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Liang suddenly made a move and twisted the neck of the thief scout.

“I can’t believe Bloodbeard actually set his eyes on our camp.”

Mino grabbed Mu Liang’s arm with her little hand, and asked in a panic, “Mu Liang, what should I do?”

“How many people are there in the camp? And how many women, children, and old people are there?” Mu Liang asked.

Mino thought for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, “There are about three hundred people. Women, children, and old people account for almost half of them.”

“Everyone should escape. They are no match for the thief gang.” Mu Liang shook his head.

He interrogated the chief scout and knew that Bloodbeard had more than 500 people, and all of them were powerful thieves.

The small camp of three hundred people, half of whom were old men, women, and children, could not withstand the attack of those thieves.

Even if they were lucky enough to win, probably not many people would survive.

“Escape? Escape to where?” Mino asked, blankly.

“That’s not for me to worry about. You can tell your chief what’s going on here, and then it’s his business to figure out what to do.”

Mu Liang squatted down and started searching the thief’s body.

Mino asked urgently: “Then… Will the chief believe what I say?”

“There is a high chance that he won’t believe it.” Mu Liang thought for a while and said.

After all, if a small invisible person in the camp suddenly told the chief that thieves were about to attack the camp, how many people would believe it?

Perhaps they would believe her at first. However, if the thieves did not attack within a few days, no one would believe the young lady.

“Whether they believe it or not, I’m going to tell them.” Mino bit her lower lip.

The camp was also her home, and she couldn’t just stand by and watch it get destroyed.

“Well, leave this matter to me.” Mu Liang interrupted the young girl’s determination.

He had already thought of a way to talk to the camp chief in the evening.

If it was before, it would be very troublesome for him to sneak in.

Now that he had the ability ‘mimetic color change’, he could talk to the chief of a small camp without any pressure.

“Mu Liang, do you have any idea?” Mino shouted happily.

“Well, I do have a little idea.”

Mu Liang spoke after he finished searching the body of the thief scout. He had only found a little dried meat.

Then he went to search the body of the other thief scout who had vomited blood. The other party only had one last breath left.

“Is there anything I can do to help you?” Mino asked as she came forward.

“You?” Mu Liang said indifferently. “Have you thought about it? Do you want to come with me the day after tomorrow?”

“Yes, I’ll go with you,” Mino responded with a smile on her face.

Since the camp was going to be gone, she had no reason to stay.

“What’s with the rabbit ears on your head?”

Mu Liang glanced at the long rabbit ears on the girl’s head that were twitching from time to time.

It was no wonder that this girl usually wrapped her head with a headscarf. She wanted to hide her rabbit ears.

“Hee hee…… I’m a mutant, and these rabbit ears are where the mutation takes place.”

Mino smiled shyly and reached out to tug at the rabbit ears on top of her head.

“What’s your ability?” Mu Liang asked curiously.

“I can hear sounds from a distance.”

Mino tilted her head and said softly, “I can also run faster and jump higher as well.”

“Rabbit’s ability.” Mu Liang understood.

It was no wonder that the girl had lived alone until now, and she even dared to come out to catch the little lizard by herself.

Living alone in this post-apocalypse world was also a bit of skill.

“I’ll help you search the other two.” Mino bounced and ran to search the corpses.

“So poor.” Mu Liang only found a little dried meat after searching the corpse.

“Wow! They actually have a vicious beast crystal.”

The girl shouted happily, “Mu Liang, come over quickly. I found something good.”

“……” Mu Liang looked at her hand. Was this girl lucky?

He came to the young girl and took the thumb-sized white prismatic crystal in his hand.

“Ding! An energy item has been detected. Do you want to convert it into evolution points?”
