Chapter 208: Hidden Feelings Arise

A bizarre thought crossed Zhang Mu’s mind – could these bone spurs fly out?

He quickly turned to Long Er and asked, “What was the scene you prophesied earlier?”

“I didn’t know what was happening. At that moment, I was exhausted and all I could see was a blurry scene of you dying, so I shouted out.” Long Er also felt that the monk giant zombie’s behavior was very strange. Watching Zhang Mu fighting closely, he started to feel anxious. “Come back first.”

Sure enough, the next moment, the huge crystal on the back neck of the monk giant zombie started to flicker with alternating light and darkness. The bone spikes on its body trembled even more violently, showing clear signs of loosening.

Zhang Mu hesitated for a moment, under Long Er’s shocked gaze, he unleashed the Blood Lotus. The main vine shot out from his left arm and divided into more than ten sub-vines, grabbing the ankle of the monk giant zombie directly.

With a thought, the ten plus vines of the Blood Lotus exerted force. Even though the thorns of the Blood Lotus couldn’t pierce through the tough skin of the monk giant zombie, with its strange strength, they directly pulled the right foot of the monk giant zombie fiercely, making him lose balance and fall heavily on the ground. The whole bamboo forest trembled, raising dust in the air, and even sank a little.

Zhang Mu took the opportunity to quickly put Long Er on his shoulder and turned to leave. Passing by Long Qi, he wedged him under his arm, ready to make a run for it.

At first, Long Er felt a bit shy. She had worked for the country for so many years, her personal love life was almost nonexistent, and her usual appearance was mostly a disguise. Now being carried on the shoulder by Zhang Mu, a big man, she immediately revealed a shy and timid look of a little girl. However, seeing the determination on Zhang Mu’s face, she suddenly felt a sense of security that she had never felt before from the bottom of her heart.

Before, only a gun could give her this sense of security. Only when she held that cold weapon of killing in her hand could her heart settle down. But after the apocalypse, her old companion had completely lost its effect, and this sense of security never appeared again.

Now, she found this long-lost feeling in Zhang Mu.

Moreover, the most important thing was when she was in the gathering place of Shan Xi City, she felt a special attraction from this little man, like a kind of magic. She felt that her foresight ability seemed to have little effect on this Zhang Mu, his fate was full of ups and downs.

The lady’s sixth sense and her ability to predict things were quite scary. She had a feeling that Zhang Mu’s fate was beyond the flow of time, giving a sense of detachment and ease.

This mystique deeply attracted Long Er, who was a prophet.

All likings stem from the initial curiosity and excitement. When Zhang Mu appeared in front of Long Er as a second-rank spirit evolver and saved her, her curiosity grew infinitely.

Additionally, as more things about Zhang Mu attracted her, she suddenly wondered if she was starting to like him. This feeling was strange and wonderful. She couldn’t help but think it might be possible, but then she remembered her real age is almost thirty, while Zhang Mu was just in his early twenties. She looked at Zhang Mu again with a mix of anger and confusion, wondering if he could ever accept her feelings. She thought to herself, “Maybe I’m just feeling lonely.”

The tiny spark of attraction Long Er felt was quickly extinguished by herself. She shook her head with bitterness, thinking that maybe it had been too long since she had been physically close to a man if even a young boy like Zhang Mu could intrigue her.

Then she quickly regained her composure, fixing her messy hair with her hand, planning to tease Zhang Mu. She leaned in close to his ear, whispering softly, the warm breath tickling his ear, “What’s wrong? Can’t handle it anymore? Are you trying to run away? The look you had earlier was quite memorable. Pathetic.”

Initially, Long Er’s actions made Zhang Mu feel uneasy, causing him to subconsciously move his hand away slightly. This woman was truly outrageous to play with him like this.

He started to regret whatever he had been doing in the past ten years, as he found himself in such an awkward situation with just any woman being able to make him feel this uncomfortable. Yuan Rui was no different, but now Long Er’s games were on a whole other level.

Then, a remark from Long Er struck a nerve with Zhang Mu. He snorted and said, “If you’re so capable, why don’t I let you go and you can discuss life goals with him? Before, he couldn’t leave when he had his intellect, as he was needed to solve problems for humanity, which is why I decided to fight. Now that Long Qi is disabled, I can’t even budge that armored monster. He’s not thinking straight now, why stick around to watch the show?”

Even though Zhang Mu said that, he quickly carried both of them and ran towards the direction of Obsidian Beetle. They didn’t know where the beasts were fighting as the bamboo forest was large. Half of it had been flattened by the mutated beasts, leaving a long empty trail in the dense bamboo forest.

Zhang Mu followed the path and indeed saw the white fox and Obsidian Beetle still entangled. They had stopped rolling on the ground and seemed to have regained their senses. They were panting heavily, pushing against each other. Obsidian Beetle seemed fine with just a few scratches, but the white fox looked more pitiful.

The once noble white fur was now covered in blood and dirt, looking dirty overall. It seemed Obsidian Beetle had not held back, appearing to have taken advantage.

Beautiful!

Zhang Mu couldn’t help but silently praise. Obsidian Beetle sensed him and asked, “Have you settled it? I haven’t yet. This guy is tough. Don’t get involved. Give me some more time.”

Zhang Mu felt awkward and remained silent for a while before saying, “We are completely overwhelmed. Let’s take advantage of his confusion and get out now. I came to find you to retreat. No time for nonsense, let’s go quickly.”

Obsidian Beetle was surprised, looking at Zhang Mu and saying, “Really? There were three of you. Even if he’s strong, this bad?”

“Yes, it’s really that bad.”
