Chapter 281: Two Hundred Seventy-Seven: Different Choices
Two Hundred Seventy-Seven: Different Choices
Fang Mu wasn't panicked in his heart. Although his eyes were filled with all kinds of distorted and magical illusions, he knew his life wouldn't end here. Conversely, the group of human-looking beasts and sheep flocks in front of him were, in his eyes, all alienated, distorted, rotting, and broken.
Fang Mu had already foreseen their deaths, and it wasn't far in the future—perhaps in this place, today!
The flat-headed man and his group walked very slowly. In order to be able to aim at Fang Mu at all times, they walked one step and paused one step, their eyes coldly staring at Fang Mu.
But after a long time, the flat-headed man felt a sense of panic in his heart. Fang Mu, who looked weak in his eyes, had a pair of eerie eyes. It was a pair of eyes that couldn't see any emotion, not even coldness or indifference. It was similar to a black void, containing everything and yet nothing. It seemed that while Fang Mu was looking at them, there was another pair of eyes in the depths of his pupils constantly watching them.
The little goat held in Fang Mu's arms was particularly obedient. It seemed to know its situation, or perhaps it was naively unaware. The sharp stone in Fang Mu's hand had already pierced the skin of its throat, but it didn't feel any pain, still expressing its love for Fang Mu, its little tongue licking Fang Mu's cheek. Besides that, its body didn't move at all, letting Fang Mu handle it.
In the long silence, the flat-headed man couldn't hold his mind and spoke first, saying in a deep voice, "You have no idea how much trouble your current behavior will bring you."
"Trouble?" Fang Mu smiled slightly. "If you have many lice on your body, you don't fear the itch. Believe me, I have too many troubles on my body, I don't fear one more.
Besides, you group of beasts are also quite interesting. It was clearly you who provoked me first, but now you tell me not to look for trouble. Heh, I don't know if the Goddess in your mouths dislikes you idiots."
Hearing Fang Mu's insults of "beasts" and "idiots," the few people beside the flat-headed man couldn't hold back and wanted to roll up their sleeves and pounce on him. But Fang Mu pinched the wound on the little goat's neck slightly, and the little goat immediately cooperated by emitting a miserable cry. Those guys immediately stopped their actions with stiff faces.
"Let me guess. The 'Goddess' in your mouths probably likes to eat all creatures, right? She doesn't have any taboos, including believers like you, right?" Fang Mu carefully paid attention to the steps under his feet while guessing, "Otherwise, why would you only dare to let sacrifices like me and this group of sheep go down by ourselves, instead of sending us down all the way?"
The six people stopped talking, their faces gloomy like water.
Seeing their expressions, Fang Mu knew he had guessed right and sneered, "Really brainless, to believe in such a thing."
"What the hell are you saying!?" The fat man was both surprised and angry, the terror and fanaticism in his eyes hard to hide, angrily saying, "You don't understand what kind of existence the Goddess is at all. She can bring wealth, she can bring eternal life! How can trash like you understand!?"
"Why should I understand what you beasts are thinking?" Fang Mu satirized with a calm expression, but in his heart, he was thinking about what kind of thing the Goddess, who was called the Daughter of Evolution and Mother Earth, was.
At the same time, Fang Mu also secretly compared the Daughter of Evolution with the Toad God. He wondered which of these two existences was stronger. If he provoked both of them at the same time, could he use poison to fight poison?
As long as it wasn't adding frost to snow...
Hehehe...
Just as Fang Mu was thinking about the Goddess deep underground, bursts of laughter as crisp as silver bells came from underground, lingering in the air, as if a beautiful lady who was split into many parts but couldn't be seen was whispering in their ears.
Fang Mu saw the six people who were eyeing him covetously suddenly show terror, but their fear hadn't reached its peak before their gazes became sluggish and lost, their nostrils dilated, and they showed lewd, idiotic smiles, as if they had seen some peerless, enchanting beauty seducing them.
What was different was that Fang Mu heard other sounds in this laughter. Those were sounds that ordinary humans couldn't hear. The "woman" who made the laughter spoke in a language that couldn't be understood. Although he couldn't understand it, Fang Mu heard the excitement of a famine refugee seeing food in that laughter.
Fang Mu felt a chill in his heart and decisively seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He suddenly threw the little goat forward, took a step forward, hooked the flat-headed man down with one foot, and then pushed hard, knocking the fat man, who was lustful and weak in the legs, directly to the ground, and then squeezed into the sheep flock against the flow, pushing the sheep flock down while running back.
The sheep flock pushed down on the stairs emitted bleats, turning into "rollers," pushing the flat-headed man and others down the stairs again.
After being tripped and falling, the flat-headed man soon woke up from the "magic" in the laughter just now. Seeing Fang Mu escaping, he immediately fired several shots at Fang Mu in shock and anger. But he didn't have Fang Mu's superior vision, and the flashlight he was holding had also slipped from his hand due to the fall just now. In the darkness, he couldn't capture Fang Mu's existence at all. He fired almost all his bullets but didn't hit the other party once.
They wanted to chase, but the tumbling sheep flock became their only obstacle, and also became the rolling stones that forced them to actively pounce toward the place where the "Goddess" ate.
"No!"
Fang Mu heard a scream from below. He looked back and felt his heart jump. He saw that the group of sheep seemed to be influenced by those laughs and started to go crazy, actually starting to bite people. The little goat marked with the eerie symbol underwent a mutation in its head, just like the scene he saw on the truck. Its head split into a flower of flesh and blood, wrapping around the fat man's head and gnawing frantically.
Seeing this scene, Fang Mu's legs also felt weak. He simply stopped looking back, ran back with all his strength, until he ran back to the ground and stayed away from the cave hidden in the woods.
Fang Mu luckily found the sheep-carrying truck that the flat-headed man and his group had hidden in the woods, decisively hid in the truck, locked the doors and windows, and sat in the driver's seat, panting heavily and resting.
"This world is too damn dangerous." Fang Mu smiled bitterly to himself. It seemed that since his first contact with the abnormal, he had started to have a fate with the shadows of the world that were originally unobservable. No matter what he did, he could feel their existence.
It could be seen that the flat-headed man and his group weren't very cautious, or perhaps they were already very familiar with this area. After parking the truck here, they didn't even pull out the car keys, not afraid at all that someone would drive the car away while they weren't there.
"Well, it's mine now." Fang Mu wiped his sweat, found some biscuits and two bottles of water in the truck, ate and drank simply, and then set off again.
The car drove to a fork in the road. Because there were no cars nearby, he stopped slightly.
The left side could lead to the Guinan region, and the right side could lead to the north.
Fang Mu thought for a moment and turned the steering wheel to the right.
He would go to Yanping City, the city where his second life and his wife An Qin moved to, the nanny's hometown, a place that was more than 2,500 kilometers away from Guinan but also had Toad God worship.
Perhaps, this time he could have some discoveries and gains there. ===== CHAPTER 282 =====
